Dynasty Legends 2 Cao Pi Reign of Frost Recruit Guide

To recruit Cao Pi in Dynasty Legends 2, collect 100 Cao Pi shards to synthesize his base form in your roster menu. Because full hero drops from the limited Reign of Frost recruitment banner are rare, your most reliable path is saving enough event tokens or premium ingots to progress through the banner's cumulative pull milestones. Completing a full 350-pull cycle guarantees enough shards between milestone chests and summon drops to unlock him and begin star rank promotions.

Shard Requirements and Summon Milestones

Ten-pull summons on the Reign of Frost banner provide common hero shards, upgrade materials, and occasional bundles of Cao Pi shards. Across a full 350-pull cycle, random summons typically yield between 40 and 70 Cao Pi shards. The remaining shards needed to reach the 100-shard synthesis threshold come directly from fixed milestone chests awarded along the summon track.

Milestone chests do not deposit into your inventory automatically. You must open the Reign of Frost banner interface and claim each milestone reward manually before the event timer expires.

Pull Milestone	Primary Milestone Reward	Progression Value
50 Pulls	Recruit Tokens and Basic Growth Materials	Summon rebate and initial leveling stock
100 Pulls	Guaranteed Cao Pi Shard Chest	First guaranteed shard milestone
150 Pulls	Rare Shards and Advanced Refine Stones	Account and equipment refinement materials
200 Pulls	Major Cao Pi Shard Bundle	Substantial progress toward the 100-shard goal
250 Pulls	Exclusive Weapon and Refinement Fragments	Specialized equipment materials
300 Pulls	High-Tier Hero Shard Cache	Secures the final shards needed for base synthesis
350 Pulls	Ultimate Banner Chest and Bonus Shards	Supplies surplus shards for star promotions

Duplicate Shards and Star Promotions

Reaching the full 350-pull milestone yields surplus shards past the initial 100-shard unlock. Convert these surplus shards into star promotions on Cao Pi's hero profile to unlock essential combat passives before bringing him into competitive PvP or high-tier PvE modes. Advancing his star tree grants cooldown reduction on his control skills, increased frost damage penetration, and flat bonuses to defense and maximum health.

Resource Budgeting and Stopping Points

Calculate your available event recruit tokens and ingots before spending any currency on the banner. Stopping midway without enough shards to synthesize the character leaves your resources stranded until the event returns.

Stop at 100 Pulls if your reserves cannot support a full cycle and you only want early token rebates and baseline growth resources.
Stop at 200 to 250 Pulls only if high drop variance gave you enough random shards to reach the 100-shard synthesis requirement early.
Commit to 350 Pulls if you intend to run Cao Pi as a core combatant, ensuring you collect the maximum guaranteed shard caches and star promotion materials.

Avoid stopping between 120 and 180 pulls. This range depletes significant currency without reaching the high-tier shard caches at 300 and 350 pulls that ensure an immediate unlock.
