How Many Gems Do You Need for Pity in All Star Tower Defense?
The crucial question on every All Star Tower Defense (ASTD) player’s mind, especially those eyeing those powerful 7-star units, is: How many gems do you need for pity? The short answer is 2700 gems to guarantee a 5-star summon from Banner X or Y. Let’s dive deeper into why and how this works.
Understanding the Pity System in ASTD
The pity system in ASTD is designed to ensure that players who consistently summon have a guaranteed chance of receiving a high-tier unit. Specifically, it targets the 5-star units from the Banner X and Y. This system provides a level of assurance in the sometimes-unpredictable world of gacha games.
How the Pity System Works for 5-Star Units
The pity system for 5-star units revolves around the number of summons you perform. Here’s the breakdown:
- The pity is set at 60 summons.
- Each multi-summon (10x summon) costs 450 gems.
- Therefore, to reach pity, you will need to perform six 10x summons, which will cost you 2700 gems.
This means that if luck isn’t on your side, and you haven’t pulled a 5-star unit in your first 59 summons, your 60th summon, or the last summon of your sixth multi-summon, will automatically grant you a guaranteed 5-star from the banner. Keep in mind this pity system only applies to the Banner X and Banner Y summon banners.
The Significance of Pity
The pity system is essential for several reasons:
- Reduces Frustration: It prevents players from feeling like they are endlessly spending gems with no return, providing a safety net for bad streaks of summons.
- Strategic Planning: Players can plan their gem spending knowing that they will eventually get a powerful unit if they are willing to save enough gems.
- Fairness: The system levels the playing field to an extent, ensuring that consistent players who invest time and effort into accumulating gems are rewarded.
