Summon

There are a variety of **Summons** in **[[Template:Dragon Ball legends,]]**.

The main form of currency in **Template:Dragon Ball legends,**, being the predominant item used in summons.

On standard banners, the player is given the option to do either a single summon for 20 for a daily discount or 100 Crystals, or a consecutive summon for 1,000 Chrono Crystals. The player is also given a once per day discount on many banners that reduce the cost of a single summon from 100 Chrono Crystals to only 20 Chrono Crystals. Often, doing a consecutive summon nets extra rewards to incentivize doing them over a few single summons.
Step-up banners, special banners that cycle through set costs and pull numbers per summon, are often cheaper per summon than normal [[Template:Dragon Ball legends,]] has the following rarity tiers:

* **Hero (HE):** Most common **(60% pull rate on normal banners)**
* **Extreme (EX):** Uncommon **(30% pull rate on normal banners)**
* **Sparking (SP):** Rare **(10% pull rate on normal banners)**
* **Ultra (UL):** Extremely rare **(0.365% pull rate on special banners, unobtainable on normal banners)**

Note: While the rates for rarities as a whole often remain the same, pull rates for individual units may differ. On one banner, a unit that has a 10.00%pull rate can have a 1.00% pull rate on another banner. An individual unit's pull rate can be seen in the **Z Power List** tab found on most banners.

## Summon Animation

The summon animation has Goku facing Frieza in combat on Planet Namek, Land Of Ice or the GT Stratosphere. The outcome of the animation is usually a good indicator of the quality of the pull. The summon animation is divided into four parts; the charge-up, the strike clash, the pull, and the beam clash, all of them having animations that can give a maximum of ten Sparking units pulled.

At the start of the animation, when Goku and Frieza are standing off, Frieza Pods can be seen in the background. The larger the quantity of the pods, the better the summon quality will be. The pods may sometimes be replaced with the Dragon Balls scattering, the Flying Nimbus, Mercenary Tao surfing on a pillar, or Jaco's Spaceship, which guarantees at least one Sparking unit.
The state of the planet or location also determines the pull quality, with a Dying Planet Namek (with lava and rocks instead of water and trees), Land Of Ice, and Stratosphere guaranteeing at least one extreme unit.
During the charge-up, Goku powers up to be ready for the fight. If he turns into a Super Saiyan, then the chance for a sparking is raised. Though quite rare, Goku will already have transformed into a Super Saiyan Blue, and Frieza already in his Golden Form, a sparking is guaranteed. Sometimes during this animation, Vegeta and Trunks, or Vegeta alone(Super Saiyan or SSJ Blue) may appear. Vegeta Blue and Trunks guarantee at one featured unit. If none of the above appear, then the animation proceeds to the strike clash.
During the strike clash, Goku charges towards Frieza and briefly exchanges blows. They then fly back and head back towards each other. If Goku is beaten, then the summon is less likely to have sparkings unless another character appears to save him. If Whis appears to save Goku, you will get seven sparkings, if Goku and Frieza hit each other away, then the summon is more likely to have extremes, and if Goku wins and throws Frieza away, then the chances of a Sparking are greatly increased. There is also a chance that Bardock jumps in to help Goku, guaranteeing a featured character.
The animation then proceeds to the pull, where Goku readies a Kamehameha as the player is prompted to pull on the screen. If the "Pull!" indication on the screen is blue, then the summon will contain many Hero characters. If the indication is red, it guarantees at least one Extreme character. If the indication is golden, it guarantees at least one Sparking character. If it is rainbow a featured unit is guaranteed. If he uses the Spirit Bomb instead of the Kamehameha, a Sparking unit is guaranteed. If he uses a Warp Kamehameha to defeat Frieza, a Sparking unit is also guaranteed. Should none of the two occur, the animation proceeds to the beam clash.

In the beam clash, Frieza fires a Death Ball to contend with Goku's Kamehameha. If Frieza's Death Ball breaks through, then the chances of a sparking are greatly reduced. Vegeta or Whis may sometimes arrive to bail Goku out, resulting in a guaranteed sparking pull. If Frieza's Death Ball breaks even with the Kamehameha, then the summon is more likely to have at least an extreme unit. The screen may stay white for longer than usual, before SSJ3 Goku wipes the smoke away and defeats Frieza using the Dragon Fist, guaranteeing a Sparking. (This may also happen if Goku loses the beam clash).
At times, when the Kamehameha is fired, Broly may appear behind Frieza and force him into the Kamehameha. Broly then rushes to attack Goku, before Goku escapes to where Vegeta is. The two wear the Potara Earrings, fusing into Vegito Blue moments before Broly attacks. Broly fires an attack which Vegito dismisses with ease, before both throw a punch at each other, resulting in a tussle. This animation guarantees a Legends Limited unit, which is extremely hard to attain. If the screen shatters, then the main banner unit is guaranteed. If Goku wins the beam clash, then a sparking unit is guaranteed in the pull.

### Post Summon Animation

After the summon animation, the respective rewards will be offered. Units are given in the form of ki orbs, with each ki orb being unique. A blue ki orb that has a faint glow indicates the unit will be a Hero rarity character. A purple ki orb with a moderate glow indicates that the unit will be an extreme character. A yellow ki orb with a violent glow indicates that the unit will be a Sparking rarity character. A blue ki orb with a violent glow that flies onto the screen, followed by an animation indicates that the unit will be an Ultra rarity character. There are also "Fakeout" orbs, which may come as Hero or Extreme orbs before bursting and assuming the color of Sparking or Ultra orbs. The orb animation can be skipped, but if the player gets a new Sparking character, the skip option will be unavailable.

## Trivia

-Ultras became summonable on December 23rd with the release of UL Super Gogeta, although you can only pull a UL rarity unit on specific banners.

-In Zenkai Banners,the animation can only be used to predict the amount of Awakening Z Powers that might be attained, and does not give any new characters/units. The orb part is also skipped.

-Step Banners are summons which come with free summons. These summons will have four or six steps each, with Ultras having four steps with Legends Tickets as freebies and event summons having six steps with Summon Medals as freebies. The final step is free, and will send you back to the second step when it has been used. However, please note that it only send back to the second step for the six step summons. The medals can be exchanged for sparking guaranteed summon tickets, Legend Limited Z power, or a featured character's Z power. The Legends Tickets can be exchanged for 600 Z power for the displayed Legends Limited characters for one thousand Legends Tickets.
