Epic Seven's Custom Mystic Summon is Here
Welcome, Heirs! The single most valuable and anticipated summoning event in Epic Seven is now live. The Special Mystic Summon (also known as the “Custom Mystic Banner”) is here, and it represents a great opportunity to obtain the Moonlight Heroes you’ve desired.
Unlike a normal banner that features one hero, this event allows you to build your own summon pool, drastically increasing your chances of getting a specific, game-changing Moonlight Hero.
But this event is a trap for the unprepared. It has unique rules, a separate pity counter, and requires careful planning. With the event ending on 30/10, you have a limited time to make your choice and spend your hard-earned Mystic Medals.
This guide will break down exactly how the event works, the critical mistakes to avoid, and a strategic tier list of the best Moonlight Heroes to select.
What Are Moonlight Heroes and Why Are They Special?
For new players, let’s quickly explain why this event matters. Moonlight Heroes (or “ML” heroes) are the Light and Dark element versions of existing characters in Epic Seven.
They are the rarest and most sought-after units in the game for three key reasons:
- No Elemental Disadvantage: As Light or Dark, they never “miss” or deal reduced damage due to element (except against each other).
- PvP-Focused Kits: Their skills are almost exclusively designed for Player-vs-Player (PvP) content like World Arena, Guild War, and Arena defense. A single ML hero can define your entire team.
- Extreme Rarity: They cannot be summoned from the regular Covenant banner. Your only reliable way to get them is through Mystic Summons, making this selective event incredibly valuable.
How the Special Mystic Summon Event Works (The Rules)
This is not a normal Mystic Summon. You must understand these rules before you pull.
- You Choose the Heroes: You will select three 5-Star Moonlight Heroes and three 4-Star Moonlight Heroes from a list of all ML heroes released before a certain date (usually 6+ months ago).
- A Locked Banner: Once you confirm your six choices, they are permanently locked in for the event’s duration. You cannot change them, even if you pull one.
- A Separate Pity: This is the most important rule. The Special Mystic Summon has its own, separate 200-pull pity counter.
- This pity DOES NOT carry over from your normal Mystic Banner.
- This pity DOES NOT carry over to your normal Mystic Banner when the event ends.
- If the event ends on 30/10 and your pity is at “199,” that pity count disappears forever.
- How the Summons Work:
- If you summon a 5-Star Moonlight Hero (before pity), it is guaranteed to be one of the three ML5 heroes you selected (33.3% chance for each).
- If you hit the 200-summon pity, you are guaranteed to receive one of your three selected ML5 heroes at random.
The Golden Rule: Do Not Summon Without Pity
Because the pity counter is temporary, it is a massive waste to spend any Mystic Medals on this banner unless you have 10,000 Mystic Medals (50 medals x 200 pulls) saved up. If you only have 4,000 medals, spend them on the normal Mystic Banner, where your pity will be saved for the next rotation. Only summon on this custom banner if you can guarantee a hero.
Strategy Guide: Who Are the Best Moonlight Heroes to Pick?
This is the most difficult question, as the answer depends entirely on your account, what heroes you already own, and what your goals are. A “must-pull” for a new player is a “skip” for a veteran.
We will break down the top-tier choices by player type and playstyle.
Tier S: The “Big Three” Game-Changers
These three heroes are arguably the most impactful and versatile in the entire game. If you have none of them, these should be your top 3 picks.
- Conqueror Lilias (C. Lilias): The undisputed queen of utility. She is an opener, a sub-DPS, a cleanser, and a utility support all in one. Her S3 provides an AoE attack that gives “Vigor” (Attack and Defense buff) to your whole team, and her S2 is a team-wide cleanse that provokes an enemy. She is used everywhere, from Guild War offense to top-tier World Arena.
- Mediator Kawerik (ML Kawerik): The best “turn two” (slower, tanky) team enabler. His S3 is a full team cleanse, grants an Attack buff, and provides a massive Combat Readiness push. He single-handedly counters teams that rely on “debuffs” or “control” openers. He is a staple in all PvP modes.
- Angel of Light Angelica (AOLA): The most toxic and effective defensive support in the game. She provides AoE cleanse, immunity, and a skill-nullifying barrier. If an ally dies while her S3 is on cooldown, she can revive them, cleanse them, and grant them invincibility. She is a nightmare to fight and a lifesaver on defense.
Tier A: Top-Tier Meta Staples
If you own one or two of the “Big Three,” your next picks should come from this list.
- Navy Captain Landy (ML Landy): A top-tier anti-counter “bruiser” (a tanky damage-dealer). She gains Fighting Spirit every time an enemy counters or uses a non-attack skill. At full stacks, her S3 is a devastating AoE attack that ignores defense and cannot be countered. She is the premier counter to popular heroes like Remnant Violet and Archdemon’s Shadow.
- Last Rider Krau (LR Krau): The ultimate “light-bait” Knight. He has an AoE provoke, can grant immunity to an ally, and has a unique S2 passive. When an ally in the back row is hit, he gains Fighting Spirit. When he is hit, he gains a barrier. His S3 is a team-wide barrier and damage nuke that scales with the damage he has taken. He is a monster on defensive teams.
- Specter Tenebria (S. Tene): The best of the “old school” ML5s. She is a powerhouse DPS who is permanently in stealth as long as no other ally is dead. She cannot be targeted by single-target attacks. Her S1 poisons, and her S3 is a powerful AoE nuke. She is the queen of PvE content (like Abyss) and still a terrifying DPS in PvP. New players get immense value from her.
Tier B: Powerful Niche & Counter-Picks
These are heroes you pick to fill a specific job or counter a specific, annoying meta.
- Death Dealer Ray (DDR): The modern anti-debuff king. His passive cleanses two debuffs from all allies at the end of every turn. He counters debuff-heavy teams (like those with Zio or Solitaria) just by existing.
- Lionheart Cermia (ML Cermia): The anti-cleave specialist. When an ally is hit with a critical AoE attack, she gains Fighting Spirit and counterattacks with a powerful S2. She is a pure, hard counter to fast, AoE-heavy teams.
- Zio: The one true “Opener.” He has the highest base Speed in the game and will always go first. His S3 can silence and push back a key enemy, crippling their entire strategy from turn one.
What About the 4-Star Heroes?
Don’t forget to pick your ML4s! These are often just as important.
- Archdemon’s Shadow (A. Shadow): A top-tier damage-dealer who seals enemy passives.
- Sinful Angelica (S. Angelica): The core of many “cleave” (fast offense) teams, as she provides a one-time “Immortality” buff to an ally (usually your main damage-dealer).
- Challenger Dominiel (C. Dom): A fantastic Combat Readiness pusher for cleave teams, allowing you to cycle turns very quickly.
Final Recommendations
- For New Players: Your three picks should be Conqueror Lilias, Mediator Kawerik, and Specter Tenebria. This gives you a top-tier opener, a top-tier support, and a top-tier “all-purpose” DPS for both PvE and PvP.
- For Mid-Game Players: Your picks should be Conqueror Lilias, Mediator Kawerik, and Angel of Light Angelica. If you own one of them, substitute in Navy Captain Landy. This trio will form the core of your PvP teams for years.
- For Veteran Players: You know what you’re missing. Pick the meta counters you don’t have, like Navy Captain Landy, Death Dealer Ray, or Zio.
This event is a rare chance to skip the RNG and target the heroes you’ve always wanted. Choose carefully, make sure you have the 10,000 Mystic Medals ready, and don’t let this opportunity pass you by. The event ends on 30/10!
Good luck, Heirs, and may you get the hero you want on the first pull. Start summoning now in Epic Seven!
What game is this for?
This is for the mobile game Epic Seven, available on the Google Play and Apple App Stores.
Does the pity from my normal Mystic Summon carry over to this banner?
NO. The Special Mystic Summon has its own, separate pity counter. Your normal pity (e.g., 50 until pity) will not apply here.
What happens if I don't hit pity by the 30/10 end date?
Your pity counter for this special banner will disappear forever. All Mystic Medals you spent will be wasted. This is why it is critical to only summon on this banner if you have 10,000 medals (a full 200 pulls) saved.
How many Mystic Medals do I need?
You need 10,000 Mystic Medals to guarantee one of your three selected heroes by hitting the 200-pull pity.
Can I change my 3 heroes after I confirm them?
NO. Once you have confirmed your selection of three ML5 and three ML4 heroes, your banner is locked for the entire event. You cannot change them, even if you pull one of your choices early.
