Untold Tales Summon Guide for Empires & Puzzles: Match-3 RPG

Pull from the Untold Tales portal in Empires & Puzzles: Match-3 RPG primarily using free event coins banked through map progression, and spend them only when the active rotation features heroes your roster actively needs. Because the summon pool includes classic Season 1 heroes, small batches such as 10 to 16 pulls require clearing roster space beforehand and triage rules for duplicate cards.

Portal Summon Rates and 16-Pull Expectations

Summoning in Untold Tales costs 100 Untold Tales Coins per pull, or standard gem rates (350 gems for a single pull, with discounted multi-pull tiers). The portal pool is heavily weighted toward rare and epic outcomes.

Rarity Tier	Approximate Drop Probability	Expected Outcome in 16 Pulls	Roster Utility
3-Star Rare	~71.0%	11–12 Heroes	Leveling feeders or rare tournament depth
4-Star Epic	~26.5%	3–4 Heroes	Raid, War, and secondary team utility
5-Star Legendary (Total)	~2.5%	0–1 Heroes	Core defense, Raid pivots, and Titan teams
5-Star Featured (Sub-tier)	~1.0%	Unlikely in a single batch	High-impact target upgrades

Because the base chance of receiving any 5-star hero sits around 2.5%, a run of 16 summons is an opportunistic attempt rather than a guaranteed unlock. Spending gems to chase a specific featured hero after exhausting coins often yields low-value duplicates.

How to Bank Untold Tales Coins

Untold Tales Coins allow you to pull without spending gems that are better invested elsewhere. Collect and save coins using these steps:

Complete Normal and Hard stages: Every completed chapter stage yields coins, and first-time clearance of province milestones awards larger coin bonuses.
Budget World Energy: Map stages demand high World Energy. Clear them using World Energy Flasks or during discounted energy periods if available.
Hold until a matching rotation: Avoid pulling as soon as your balance reaches 100 coins. Save until you accumulate 1,000 to 1,600 coins (10 to 16 summons) and the featured 5-star heroes match the elemental or utility gaps in your roster.

Managing Roster Space and Duplicates

A batch of 16 pulls immediately adds up to 16 cards to your inventory. If you are within five slots of your roster cap, expand your hero capacity or consume low-tier trainer heroes before summoning. Once your pulls are complete, sort the incoming cards:

Untold Tales 3-Star Heroes: Keep at least one copy of each unique event rare. Their stat lines and passive skills frequently outperform vanilla Season 1 rares in 3-star Tournaments and Challenge Events.
Classic 3-Star Duplicates: Feed identical Season 1 copies (such as Bane, Belith, or Tyrum) to in-progress heroes of the matching element to maximize special skill leveling chance.
Classic 4-Star Duplicates: Keep utility epics if your War bench needs depth. Otherwise, reserve duplicate vanilla 4-stars for the Soul Exchange or use them as high-experience leveling fodder.

When to Spend Coins vs. Saving Gems

Untold Tales features strong standalone heroes, but the presence of classic Season 1 fillers lowers the overall efficiency of spending premium gems.

Spend Banked Coins: When the active portal features a 5-star hero that fits your War or Titan roster, spend your accumulated event coins in a 10-to-16 batch. Stop pulling once those coins are gone.
Save Premium Gems: If your account lacks foundational 4-star heroes or costume bonuses, reserve your gems for portals that exclude classic heroes entirely, such as Black Friday, Solstice, or the Costume Chamber. Pass on gem pulls in Untold Tales unless you already possess deep elemental benches and specifically target the featured specialists.
