The AHR Banner is here!
A few days ago, I summoned on the AHR 2022 banner. I spent a lot of the orbs that I’ve been saving up over the past few months.
A user by the name of Eldervi has done the math and created a cool infographic here. The average orb cost per 5-star unit is 19 orbs. This means that with my 1,300 orbs, I should be expecting somewhere around 68 5-star units with average luck.
Summoning
Before the summoning session, I prepared my barracks. I prepared lots of room for all of the new heroes, along with finishing up the story to gather the orbs I have laying around. It took a long time to get through all of the chain challenges. I got through about half of the squad assaults and stopped – it was just too boring to finish, and not that much reward for it.
I recorded my massive summoning session here:
It took me quite a long time to spend 1,300 orbs. I even skipped the summoning animation for this. Imagine how long it would take if I didn’t skip the summoning animation each time.
Spoilers below!

Total: 40 5-star units (including spark)

Any 5* w/o Spark: 33.62 orbs/5-star
Concluding Thoughts
Well, I didn’t get anywhere near 68 5-star units during this session, so I was quite unlucky. I had a few very bad streaks. It is nearly impossible to recover from this sort of thing with the amount of orbs I had. Suppose I had a gap of 150+19=150 orbs between 5-star units. Since the average is supposed to be 19 orbs per, in order to “balance” this, that would mean I need to have other summons totaling up to 150 orbs under the average, which seemed very difficult to do, especially with the average being as low as it is.
