How to Get Your First S-Grade Legendary in Dicero!!

Securing your first S-Grade Legendary in Dicero!! is less about relying on random chance and more about calculated resource management. Because Dicero!! utilizes a hard pity system, you can mathematically guarantee your first high-tier acquisition by focusing your efforts on reaching the 100-summons threshold. For both free-to-play (F2P) players and light spenders, understanding the rhythm of gem income is the key to accelerating your progression without wasting precious currency on suboptimal banners.

Understanding the Dicero!! Pity Mechanic

The core of Dicero!! progression is the 100-pull safety net. This mechanic tracks your total summons on a specific banner; if you fail to pull an S-Grade Legendary hero within your first 99 attempts, the 100th pull is guaranteed to be an S-Grade unit.

It is vital to distinguish between "hard pity" and "soft pity." In Dicero!!, the hard pity ensures that your resources are never truly "wasted" in the long run. Even if you pull an S-Grade hero early, the counter typically resets, but you have successfully achieved your goal ahead of schedule. Always check the individual banner details (the "i" or "details" icon in the summon menu) to ensure the pity count carries over correctly, as some limited-time banners may have specific rules that differ from the permanent roster.

Maximizing Gem Income: The F2P Roadmap

To hit that 100-pull milestone as quickly as possible, you must optimize your daily gameplay loop. Gems are the lifeblood of your account, and they are earned through consistent activity rather than passive play.

• Daily Missions: Treat these as non-negotiable. They provide the most consistent flow of gems and summon tickets. Missing a single day of dailies slows your march toward the 100-pull threshold.
• Chapter Milestones: The early game is designed to reward you for pushing content. Each chapter boss and "star rating" milestone in the campaign provides a significant one-time injection of gems. Prioritize your hero team’s level to clear these chapters as fast as possible.
• First-Time Clear Rewards: Beyond the main campaign, check the "Challenge" or "Trial" modes. Many of these offer one-time rewards that are substantial enough to cover 5–10 pulls when completed early.
• Event Participation: Dicero!! frequently runs limited-time events. These are often the most efficient way to acquire summon tickets. Always prioritize event objectives that grant "Summon Tickets" over those that grant "Hero XP" or "Gold," as tickets are effectively equivalent to gems but are often more abundant during events.

Why Hoarding Beats Impulse Pulling

The biggest mistake new players make in Dicero!! is spending gems in small increments. Doing 1-pulls or 3-pulls whenever you reach 300 gems feels satisfying, but it makes it nearly impossible to track your progress toward the 100-pull pity.

Strategic Hoarding:

1. Stop the "Drip": Resist the urge to pull as soon as you have enough for a single summon.
2. The 10x Pull Advantage: While Dicero!! doesn’t always mandate 10x pulls for pity, it is standard practice in roguelites to use the 10x option. It helps you keep a clear mental tally of your progress.
3. The "Dry Streak" Psychology: Accepting that you will likely not get an S-Grade hero until pull 80–100 is crucial. By setting your expectations at the pity limit, you avoid the frustration of "bad luck" and maintain the discipline required to reach the target.

Choosing Your First S-Grade Investment

Once you reach your 100th pull, you will be presented with your first S-Grade hero. In the current Dicero!! meta, not all S-Grade heroes are created equal.

• Analyze the Banner: Before hitting the 100th pull, look at the featured heroes. Does the hero provide a "Carry" skill (high AOE damage) or a "Support" skill (healing/buffs)?
• Synergy Check: If you already have a strong B or A-grade hero that provides high damage, look for an S-Grade hero that covers their weakness—such as a healer or a crowd-control specialist.
• Avoid "Banner Hopping": If you split your pulls across three different banners, you will not hit the pity on any of them. Pick one banner and stay there until you secure the hero. Your first priority is getting any S-Grade hero to replace your starter units; once you have one, you can be more selective with your second.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

As a senior editor, I often see players fall into these common traps during their first weeks in Dicero!!:

1. Spending Gems on Energy/Refills: Early on, you might be tempted to buy stamina to grind more levels. Avoid this. Your gems are worth far more as summons than as temporary energy refills.
2. Ignoring the "Shop" Rotation: Sometimes, the game shop offers discounted bundles or limited-time tickets for low gem costs. Check the shop weekly, but only buy items that directly translate to summons.
3. Leveling Too Many Heroes: Spreading your resources across five different heroes is a recipe for failure. Focus your XP and gear materials on your primary damage dealer and your S-Grade hero as soon as you pull them.

Final Thoughts for Long-Term Success

Dicero!! is a game of marathon progression, not a sprint. Your first S-Grade Legendary is the foundation upon which the rest of your team will be built. By focusing exclusively on the 100-pull pity, managing your daily mission intake, and resisting the urge to spend gems on secondary resources, you will secure your first top-tier asset within a matter of weeks, depending on your daily intensity. Stay disciplined, track your pull count, and prioritize the banner that offers the most immediate synergy for your current team.
