I. Notice: Special Summoning Rate-Up Adjustments
Starting from the update on 07/01 (UTC-8), Special Summoning events will include the following mechanics:

1. Special Invocation of Spirits, Special Divine Summoning, Beginner's Special Summoning.
When summoning from the current Special Summoning pools, if you obtain a Legendary hero that is not a Rate-Up hero, the "drop rate" for all Rate-Up heroes will receive an additional increase in subsequent summons.
The first time you obtain a Legendary hero that is not a Rate-Up hero, the "drop rate" for all Rate-Up heroes will be multiplied by 10.
If you again obtain another Legendary hero that is still not a Rate-Up hero, the "drop rate" will be multiplied by 10 again. This accumulating boost will continue until you successfully summon any Rate-Up hero.
The "drop rate" mentioned above refers to the probability of obtaining a Rate-Up hero compared to other heroes of the same rarity. This Pity Timer triggers only once during the events.

2. Special Ancient Summoning
When summoning from the current Special Summoning pools, if you obtain a Legendary hero that is not a Rate-Up hero, the "drop rate" for all Rate-Up heroes will receive an additional increase in subsequent summons.
The first time you obtain a Legendary hero that is not a Rate-Up hero, the "drop rate" for all Rate-Up heroes will be multiplied by 2.
If you again obtain another Legendary hero that is still not a Rate-Up hero, the "drop rate" will be multiplied by 2 again. This accumulating boost will continue until you successfully summon any Rate-Up hero.
The "drop rate" mentioned above refers to the probability of obtaining a Rate-Up hero compared to other heroes of the same rarity. This Pity Timer triggers only once during the events.
✩ This adjustment only affects Special Summoning pools. The mechanics for Exclusive Summoning and other summoning pools remain unchanged.
