How many pulls do you need in Fire Emblem Heroes?
Every pull on the Fire Emblem Heroes New Hero banner costs 5 Orbs, so the question "how many pulls?" is really "how many Orbs?". The tables below answer both for every milestone that matters: a comfortable 50%, a safe 90%, the soft pity threshold at pull 1, the hard pity at 120 and the exchange at 40. All figures start from pity 0; the calculator lets you plug in your own counter.
