For this year’s anniversary of FEH, we got 15 free summon tickets, and also a free random 5-star unit, as per usual. I wish we could choose one, but unfortunately Intelligent Systems won’t allow that.
Special Summon
For the random 5-star units that we can get, we can randomly get any of the following units:

Choosing which color to summon for
The units to avoid are the units that appear as the 4-star demote unit. Green and blue have the highest chances of getting the 5-star-locked units. However, the reason I didn’t choose green is because I already had Harmonic Azura, Spring Maria, Spring Sonya, Harmonic Roy (from the Engage AHR event), and Summer Eirika. My chances of getting a duplicate in that pool are very high. I didn’t choose colorless because the chances of getting a lesser-quality hero is very high.
So, my options were between Red and Blue. I actually do not have any units from Red, and from Blue, I only have Summer Thorr. Anyone else would be a brand-new unit and not a duplicate. Ultimately, As tempting as blue was, I decided to go for red because it gave me a higher chance to +10 someone for the real AHR 2023 event.
Who did I get?
When I went to do the summon, thankfully there was exactly 1 red orb that showed up, so I didn’t have to choose between the two and regret it if the one I chose was not good.
I ended up getting Hatari Nailah.
Not the worst, good thing I didn’t get someone like Summer Lyon, but it could have been better like Halloween Duma or Valentine Chrom.
Herofest Banner!
This year, we got 15 tickets for the HeroFest banner. The HeroFest banner has a 5-star rate of 8% instead of the regular 6%, and seeing that we have 16 free pulls, 16 * 0.08 = 1.28 so I was hoping to get at least 1 5-star unit. During the Christmas/New Year banners, I didn’t get any new units despite having received so many free tickets, so let’s hope this time goes better.
Choosing which color to summon for
Well, out of these 4 units, I don’t have Ascended Idunn. I have 1 of everyone else. So, my target was Blue. If there was no blue, then I would go for either green or gray. Eitri would occasionally boost my score in Arena (as I don’t have any fire legendaries) and Harmonic Lysithia would help boost my score in Resonant Battles occasionally. Either one would be good for me.
Here’s all the 5-stars I ended up getting:
I got very lucky!
After this session, I was actually thinking that I might be able to +10 her just with the orbs I have now. But I decided to hold off because I was thinking that it’s probably better to wait and get a few +10s from the AHR event in a bit rather than getting just one +10 unit now. I am aware that that the AHR event only has a 6% rate instead of the 8% rate, but the color sharing rate might make it more worth it than this.
Summary
And here’s a summary all of the heroes I got recently. Note that I am in the middle of leveling up my Idunns, that’s why they’re half-leveled. I still don’t have Dragon Valor. But, it’s a good thing that it’s 5x SP right now!
Note that Rutger and Haar are from the Grand Hero Party quests. Everyone from Hitari Nailah down is who I got during my summons this time around. I would say my luck has turned around since the Christmas/New Year banners!
