That means, it is possible to get none of a certain orb color, or all four of your orbs are one color.<\/p>\n<p>To be on the safe side, before entering the summoning circle, I would recommend preparing your backup color to choose, in case the primary color doesn&#8217;t appear.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the total possibilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red<\/strong> orb: <strong>64%<\/strong> chance of 5*, <strong>36%<\/strong> chance of 4*.<strong> 29%<\/strong> chance of duo or harmonic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue<\/strong> orb: <strong>77%<\/strong> chance of 5*, <strong>23%<\/strong> chance of 4*. <strong>23%<\/strong> chance of duo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong> orb: <strong>86%<\/strong> chance of 5*, <strong>14%<\/strong> chance of 4*. <strong>14%<\/strong> chance of harmonic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Colorless<\/strong> orb: <strong>82%<\/strong> chance of 5*, <strong>18%<\/strong> chance of 4*. <strong>36%<\/strong> chance of duo or harmonic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the vast majority of players, we do not want the 4* seasonal, only the 5-star one, and probably the duo or harmonic ones as those are generally much stronger than the other 5-star units. This makes red the riskiest color to choose, as there is a decent chance that you could get a 4*.<\/p>\n<h2>Who did I choose?<\/h2>\n<p>My plan was to go for blue, then green if no blues. My reasoning for this is because I didn&#8217;t have <strong>any<\/strong> of the units there. For reference, here is a list of the heroes I do have grouped by color:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red: Harmonic Linde, Duo Ayra, Summer Fjorm<\/li>\n<li>Blue: None<\/li>\n<li>Green: None<\/li>\n<li>Colorless: Duo Elise, Duo Ymir<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see from the above, I don&#8217;t actually have a lot of seasonal units. My main focus this year has gone into Legendary or Mythic banners, so I skipped on most of the seasonal banners.<\/p>\n<p>My reasoning for placing blue first, then green, is because of the A Hero Rises 2024 event. I saw the interim results and it looks like Green would most likely win. I went with blue on this to avoid getting a duplicate. I also wanted to get Winter Edelgard and Duo Seidr much more than Harmonic Karla, Duo Anna, and Wind Tribe Claude.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the Interim results, for reference:<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/i.redd.it\/58id5cy43wfc1.png\" alt=\"r\/FireEmblemHeroes - A Hero Rises 2024 Interim results\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Who did I end up getting?<\/h2>\n<p>Time to summon!<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I got exactly one blue orb, so I didn&#8217;t need to choose between two and wonder what the other one was.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s who I got:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-seidr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-seidr.jpg\" alt=\"sirknightj-special-summon-2024-seidr\" width=\"300\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-seidr.jpg 464w, https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-seidr-146x300.jpg 146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-result.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-result.jpg\" alt=\"sirknightj-special-summon-2024-result\" width=\"300\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-result.jpg 464w, https:\/\/www.sirknightj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sirknightj-special-summon-2024-result-146x300.jpg 146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was so happy when I got Duo Seidr.
