MLA Prophecy Summon vs Sacred Oath: How to Target a Hero Copy

Start with the exact item your next Star-Up needs. A summon is only useful for this plan if the current pool can give that hero or the Emblem you actually need. Once you have checked the pool, work out how many attempts you can afford.

Quick answer · Our advice

Open both target lists and check the exact hero, then compare what the next Star-Up accepts. Use Prophecy when your target is eligible, you have a targeted result left and the Diamond spend fits. Consider Sacred Oath when its current pool and your Sacred Scroll balance fit the same goal.[1][2][6]

Pool changes documented in patches 692.0, 696.0 and 706.0. Diamond prices are from indexed rule references and must be checked in the live Wishing Shrine.

What does selecting a hero actually guarantee?

The indexed Prophecy rules describe a replacement: an eligible 5-star Epic result becomes your selected hero while a targeted result remains. Choosing a hero does not make every pull a 5-star. The same rules say your available targeted results depend on your Awakened roster and distinguish Order/Chaos from the five standard types.[1][6]

Sacred Oath accepts Sacred Scrolls or Diamonds and has outcomes besides the selected hero. The indexed rules describe a target that can reset, so verify the portrait before summoning. The publisher also documents additions to the upgraded pool, which can differ from what you see before upgrading.[2][5]

Worked example: your next copy fits both pools

Worked example · GachaLoot calculation

4,500 spendable Diamonds and six Sacred Scrolls

Assumptions

A hypothetical Order/Chaos target is selectable in both menus. Prophecy shows a targeted result remaining in the relevant category.
For this example only, Prophecy quotes 400 Diamonds per pull and Sacred Oath quotes 5,000 Diamonds per ten-pull. You have 6,000 Diamonds and reserve 1,500 of them.
One Sacred Scroll buys one Sacred Oath attempt. Treat scrolls and Diamonds as separate payment balances unless the confirmation explicitly supports mixing them.

Diamonds available for this project6,000 − 1,500 = 4,500 Diamonds
Maximum single Prophecy attempts by budgetfloor(4,500 ÷ 400) = 11 attempts, 100 Diamonds left
Extra Diamonds needed for the Oath ten-pull5,000 − 4,500 = 500 Diamonds
Sacred Scroll shortfall for ten scroll-funded attempts10 − 6 = Four Sacred Scrolls

Result: Under this budget you can make six scroll-funded Oath attempts while keeping the full Diamond reserve. If you use Prophecy, stop after the required copy or when the available targeting or budget ends. Recheck which currency the next confirmation will charge.

Limits of this example: This compares affordable attempts, not expected copies. It does not infer a pity count or assume that the two systems share progress. Requote the live buttons if the prices, units or available quantities differ.

Worked example: one targeted result left, two copies needed

Worked example · GachaLoot calculation

Why a second pull budget does not create a second selection

Assumptions

Your Star-Up preview needs two more copies and the correct Prophecy category shows one targeted result remaining.
You obtain one qualifying Epic result, which the rule converts to your selected hero and consumes the last available target. You still have enough Diamonds for several attempts.

Remaining Star-Up materials2 required − 1 obtained = One copy still needed
Targeted Prophecy results left1 available − 1 used = Zero for this category

Result: Reopen the other pool or wait for the displayed reset if that suits your plan. Continuing to spend at a zero allowance no longer supports the same target guarantee.

Limits of this example: This assumes the observed result is eligible and the relevant allowance is consumed. It is a conditional example, not a prediction of which pull yields the Epic.

Mechanic references[1][6]

Why a hero may be missing from your summon list

Patch 692.0 added Estarith to Prophecy, and 706.0 added Hybrid hero Mustang Johnson. Patch 696.0 names Omniversal Akashic as an addition to upgraded Sacred Oath. These are dated additions; availability of one hero does not establish eligibility for other heroes of the same rarity or type.[4][5][6]

The indexed summon rules describe Hybrid duplicates being converted into an exclusive Emblem. Compare the exact Emblem against the Star-Up preview before treating the result as the final material you need.[1][2]

Our advice

Read the active pool and the on-screen summon rules after changing targets, after a reset or before using a batch. If your goal depends on an event milestone, record that counter separately. Only count progress in a route when the game identifies it as eligible.

MLA targeted summon questions

Can I use Sacred Scrolls in Prophecy Summon?

The documented Prophecy prices use Diamonds. Sacred Scrolls are listed for Sacred Oath. Check the currency icon and confirmation in the current menu.[1][2]

Does selecting a hero guarantee my next pull?

Prophecy needs a qualifying Epic result and a remaining selection allowance. Sacred Oath has other outcomes alongside your chosen hero. Read any displayed guarantee separately for that pool.[1][2]

Should I assume an old Sacred Oath pity or upgrade threshold still applies?

Our advice: Use the current rule screen for your pool and account. A dated target addition establishes who was added at the time, not the active unlock or guarantee counter.[2][5]

Sources and review scope

Publisher patch posts document individual pool additions and the relationship between Awakened heroes and Prophecy capacity. The wiki sources index in-game rule transcriptions, but their full pages could not be opened directly. Prices in the examples are quoted planning inputs, not a live offer. The guide omits exact account unlock counts and universal pity figures because the available evidence does not establish them for every pool.
