We have elaborated on the game’s innate gacha system which includes the probabilities (rates) of pulling characters, summoning banners, and pity system. Keep in mind, all this information is taken from the ongoing final closed beta test and subject to change upon global release. With that out of the way, let’s begin!
The Gacha System of Sword of Convallaria
Much like every other live-service RPG, Sword of Convallaria also boasts an enticing gacha system through which players can recruit new heroes. The game has different rarities of heroes, ranging from common being the lowest to legendary being the highest. The higher the rarity of the hero, the lower the probability to summon them. To put it precisely, here are the gacha rates on every hero banner:
- Legendary hero – 2% probability
- Epic hero – 20% probability
- Rare hero – 40% probability
- Common hero – 38% probability
Here are the gacha rates on every weapon banner:
- Legendary weapon – 5% probability
- Epic weapon – 50% probability
- Rare weapon – 25% probability
- Common weapon – 20% probability
These probabilities are fixed for all banners, unless mentioned otherwise.
The Pity System
The pity for summoning a legendary hero/weapon is set at 100 summons. Pity is cumulative, which means it will continue forward to the next banners as well. Pity is shared between hero event banners but not between the standard weapon and hero banner.

Learn About the Gacha Currencies in Sword of Convallaria
It’s imperative to learn about all the different currencies used to pull for new heroes in the different gacha banners. The core currencies are as follows:
