Hero Summoning

Summoning interface (Image 1) There are four summoning pools. Top left is the current season's Infantry (Shu) faction (Image 2) Top right is the current season's Cavalry (Wei) faction (Image 3) Bottom left is the current season's Archer (Wu) faction (Image 4) Bottom right is the heroes from the previous four seasons (Images 5, 6) It's currently Day 3 of Season 5 (each season is 14 days long), with Sunday being Day 1. In the current season's summoning pool: 3-star fixed heroes are Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan + one hero from each faction. (Shu: Chen Dao, Wei: Zhang Liao, Wu: Huang Gai) 2-star fixed heroes are two descendants from each faction (six total) + two heroes from each faction. 1-star fixed heroes are six descendants from each faction (18 total) + three heroes from each faction. Taking Wei as an example (Image 3): After Season 5, Zhang Liao, Du Ji, Zang Ba, Zhang Hu, Du Xu, and Zang Ai from this season will appear in the bottom right summoning pool. Since there are four previous seasons, the bottom right pool is switchable: Galaxy Three Kingdoms (Seasons 1-3): 18 heroes per faction, 54 total. Bear Tiger Generals (Season 4): 6 heroes per faction, 18 total. New players should try to recruit all heroes if possible, because the Gravity Gate requires more heroes later on (3 more per day). Once you have most of them, it's recommended to focus all your pulls on the current season's heroes. (This relates to hero development, which I'll cover in a separate post later.) For free-to-play or low-spending players, try to summon on Day 1 (Sunday) and Day 14 (Saturday). This is because there's a 1.5x bonus for 3-star heroes in the current season's pool. Oh, and all hero portraits are female, and the 3-star ones are animated.
