Summoning System Details — Epic Seven Guide

Understand the Epic Seven Summoning System. Learn about different banners, mechanics, and currencies to acquire Heroes and Artifacts effectively.

The summoning system in Epic Seven is your primary method for acquiring new Heroes and powerful Artifacts. Understanding its intricacies is crucial for efficient resource management and building a formidable team. There are several distinct banners, each with its own mechanics and currencies.

Accessing the Summoning System

To access the summoning interface, navigate from the main Lobby screen. Tap the "Summon" icon, typically located in the bottom right corner of your screen. This will bring you to the main summoning hub, where you can select from the available banners.

Types of Summon Banners

Epic Seven features several types of summoning banners, each serving a different purpose and requiring specific currencies:

• Covenant Summon: This is the standard, always-available banner.
  • Currency: Covenant Bookmarks (x5 per summon) or Skystones (x100 per summon, x950 for 10 summons).
  • Pity System: Features a rotating 5-star Hero and Artifact. After 120 summons on this banner without pulling the featured 5-star Hero, your 121st summon is guaranteed to be that Hero. This pity count resets once the featured Hero is obtained or the banner changes.
  • What you get: A mix of 3-5 star Heroes and 3-5 star Artifacts.
• Mystic Summon: A more exclusive banner that rotates its featured Moonlight (ML) 5-star Hero and a standard 5-star Hero/Artifact.
  • Currency: Mystic Medals (x50 per summon).
  • Pity System: Guarantees the featured Moonlight 5-star Hero after 200 summons (10,000 Mystic Medals). This count carries over between Mystic banners.
  • Acquisition: Mystic Medals are primarily obtained from Guild Wars rewards, Secret Shop refreshes, and occasional event rewards.
  • Strategy: Due to the difficulty in acquiring Mystic Medals, it's highly recommended to save enough for a full pity before attempting to summon on this banner, especially if you're targeting a specific ML unit.
• Limited Summon (Event Banner): These banners feature new or returning limited-time Heroes and their exclusive Artifacts.
  • Currency: Covenant Bookmarks (x5 per summon) or Skystones (x100 per summon, x950 for 10 summons).
  • Pity System: Similar to Covenant Summon, a limited 5-star Hero is guaranteed within 121 summons. The pity count is specific to each limited banner and does not carry over to other banners.
  • Strategy: Limited Heroes are often very powerful and can only be obtained during their specific event. Prioritizing these banners is generally advised, especially for new players looking to expand their roster with strong units. Always aim to have enough Covenant Bookmarks saved for a full pity (605 Bookmarks or 11,400 Skystones) before pulling.
• Moonlight Summon: This banner exclusively grants Moonlight Heroes (Light and Dark element Heroes).
  • Currency: Galaxy Bookmarks (x5 per summon).
  • Pity System: No traditional pity system for specific units. However, there's a cumulative chance for higher rarity units.
  • Acquisition: Galaxy Bookmarks are rare, obtained from clearing certain story chapters, Abyss floors, special events, and converting duplicate 5-star Heroes.
  • What you get: 3-5 star Moonlight Heroes.
• Friendship Summon: A free daily summon.
  • Currency: Friendship Points (x100 per summon, x1000 for 10 summons).
  • What you get: Primarily 2-star Phantasmas and 2-star Heroes, useful for fodder to promote other units. Occasionally, you can get 3-star Heroes.

Summoning Strategies and Tips

• Save for Pity: For Covenant and Limited banners, always aim to have at least 605 Covenant Bookmarks (or 11,400 Skystones) saved before you start pulling for a specific unit. This guarantees you will get the featured 5-star Hero.
• Resource Management: Skystones are a versatile currency. While they can be used for summons, they are also vital for refreshing the Secret Shop (for Mystic Medals and Covenant Bookmarks) and buying Energy. Prioritize their use wisely.
• Secret Shop Refresh: Regularly refreshing the Secret Shop (found in the "Shop" menu) with Skystones is a common and efficient way to acquire Covenant Bookmarks and Mystic Medals at a discounted rate compared to direct purchases from the shop.
• Don't Chase Every Unit: Not every new unit is a must-have. Research new Heroes and Artifacts on community boards or guides to determine their value to your account before committing your precious summoning resources.
• Understand Rates: Familiarize yourself with the summon rates for each banner, which are typically displayed within the summoning interface. This helps manage expectations.
