5* Bonus Heroes

Forgive me if there is already a thread for this (I didn’t see one), but how many of you have received a 5* Bonus Hero?

I cashed in about 230 LTs last night, and got a good pull of 33 5*s, but not one Bonus Hero. And I have probably cashed in a total of 600+ LTs and never received one.

SO I am curious, am I just unlucky or have others never received one either.

Happy Holidays.

I have received 1 5* bonus hero since the bonus hero thing started.

Out of 33 5*, “expected” results would be 1 BH 5* from that amount as it’s a stated odds of 1:20.

Of my last 275 5* covers, I’ve received 10 BH which is slightly below advertised rates but well within an acceptable margin of error. But there are some stretches in there of way more than 20 in a row without, but others were I got 2 BH out of 4. RnG giveth, RnG taketh.

I have gotten one. I got a 5 Star Gambit as a bonus for getting 5 star Hulk.

I’ve gotten two so far. Can’t complain.

I’ve gotten one BH 5 star in about 45 5star pulls (out of probably 500 LTs). I don’t know if the special tokens (such as the archangel tokens or when gambit was released) offer different BH rates though, as many of my shiny 5s care from those

I have yet to get a single one.

No, you got a bonus 5 star Gambit to make up for the fact that you got a 5 star Hulk…

At least you got many 5s, the last 10-15 pulls I had, I only got 1 5* and no BH.

i have gotten 2 that i can remember and one of those was on my birthday so that was cool

I’ve gotten 13 on 249 5star pulls.

About 320 pulls since October when Gambit came in. I think 52x 5 stars from those pulls, and 2 bonus heroes. This sort of thing is hard to gauge since I lost count of 3 star and 4 star bonus heroes, and those contribute to the 5 percent ratio too.

Is that confirmed that all tiers pool into the ratio?

Every single pull has a 5% chance. Every single pull is seperate. If you keep stats per tier, you will see with large enough sample that you will be 5%. OPs 33 pulls is nothing. I went 80 without a BH 5. Yet I’m 5%

That wasn’t my question. The question is are each tier a separate 5% pool or is it an aggregate or the 3 tiers. If you can link me to an official repsonse, please do.

They never give such answers, but empirical evidence shows each tier will balance out to 5% for its tier

I have gotten several, but it’s been a while since the last one.

Out of my 22 5* covers to date, 4 or 5 have been bonus heroes. I’m the statistical anomaly.

Random number generators are swingy when they’re actually close to true random. On a small sample size they often fall outside the average.

They do provide their take on 5% in their announcement.

The 5* BH is streaky, even for a RNG based mechanics.

i have pulled about 10 or 11 5* BH. This is roughly off 200 5* covers, and a total of 1500 LT/CP pulls.

I started on around 2 BH for my first 50 5*, and then got incredibly lucky around 100 5* mark, obtaining about 8 5* BH. After that it is a long drought of 2 BH for the next 100 5* pulls.
