Sea of Conquest Echo Conch Summon Strategy: When to Pull, When to Save and How Pity Works

For Sea of Conquest players who want to know how the Echo Conch and Hymn Conch summons work, when to pull and when to save, and how the pity system changes the math.

Conch summons are how top Sea of Conquest accounts build the hero roster behind their formation.

Echo Conches draw from the standard pool and build depth over time. Hymn Conches draw from featured banners and are the tool when one specific Legendary is the target. How you use the two, and when you hold, decides whether a month of Conches builds your formation or ends up spread across heroes you do not need.

SP heroes and limited collab heroes are a different topic. They are not in either Conch pool. Knowing that is the clearest thing you can learn about summoning in this game, because the idea that Conch pulls and SP heroes compete for the same budget causes most reactive spending.

Echo Conch vs Hymn Conch

Sea of Conquest uses two main Conch types for hero summons.

Echo Conches are the common one. You get them from daily activities, event rewards and regular packs. They draw from the standard hero pool, the full roster of Legendary and Epic heroes in regular summoning. Each pull has a base rate for Legendary heroes, and the pity system guarantees a Legendary at a fixed pull count if none has appeared before then. Echo Conches are how you get a hero for the first time and then pull duplicates to push them up the star ranks.

Hymn Conches are rarer and worth more. They draw from the featured banner pool, which spotlights one or more heroes with higher pull rates for a set window. Featured banners usually run alongside major events or content releases. When you want one specific Legendary, Hymn Conches are the better tool.

The recruit screen behind the Rocky icon lets you spend either type, depending on whether you pull on the standard pool or a featured banner. Both have pity counters. Picking Echo or Hymn in a given week comes down to one question: are you building the roster in general, or chasing one hero?

The free daily summon on the United Front option is your baseline pull. It costs nothing and runs every day, and over months it adds up. Never skip it.

When to pull and when to save

The rule is simple. Pull when your current priority hero is on an active banner. Save when the featured hero is not your priority, however strong that hero is on its own.

It takes discipline because the featured rotation keeps putting out strong heroes. Every new one has a kit that looks great. That pressure is on purpose. Judge each banner by one thing: is this the hero your formation needs right now?

If you are still building your priority list, the Sea of Conquest hero tier list ranks every hero by how long they stay useful, including SP heroes.

Pull when your priority hero is featured

When the hero your formation needs to reach the next level gets a dedicated banner or limited event, that is the window to spend Conches. Putting your Conches into that window gives you the best chance to reach the star ranks where the hero's kit becomes competitive.

Save when the featured hero is not your priority

If the featured hero is strong but not what your formation needs, keep the Conches. This is the hardest habit in the summon system and the most important one. A strong hero at low star ranks gives you very little. The Conches you keep are the ones that get your real priority hero to a competitive star rank sooner.

Pull for useful Epic heroes in the standard pool

Cursed Ed is in the standard summon pool and is one of the most useful Epic heroes early on. His debuff raises the damage your other ships deal, and his copies raise his star rank and make that debuff stronger. That makes pulling on the standard pool between featured windows worth it early in a server. Later in the seasons newer heroes outscale him, so once your current core is online, stop feeding him duplicates. The tier list covers when to retire him.

The pity system: what to know before you pull

Summons include a pity mechanic: a guaranteed Legendary after a set number of pulls without one. Check the pity counter on your current banner before any big Conch spend.

If you are close to the threshold, finishing the pity before you start saving makes sense, because that last pull is a guaranteed Legendary. Whether the counter carries over to the next banner depends on the banner type, so check before you plan around it.

Limited and SP hero banners: the biggest pull decision

Limited heroes and SP heroes come with no confirmed rerun schedule. This is where the pressure is highest and discipline matters most. Ask three questions before you pull:

1. Is this hero a current formation priority, or just a strong hero your formation does not need right now? If it is the second, save.
2. Can you reach the star rank where the kit becomes competitive inside the event window with the Conches you have? At low star ranks, SP heroes often do not beat fully built Legendaries from the standard pool.
3. Does pulling here take budget away from S-tier Legendaries you have not finished yet? If yes, finish the foundation first.

Building your Conch supply between banners

Between featured windows, the goal is to stack Conches for the next priority pull. The main sources are the free daily United Front pull, event rewards, Baron's Fleet exchanges (watch for Conch items when the stall shows up) and packs.

For accounts that buy packs every month, the right rhythm is to buy Conch packs during your priority banner window, when you need a lot of pulls at once, and to let natural income build up between windows instead of buying packs for storage on off-priority banners.

When star ranks actually matter

Hero duplicates are needed to raise star ranks, and some abilities stay locked until a hero reaches a certain star rank. So Conches do not pay back evenly across all ranks. Some thresholds unlock abilities that change how a hero plays.

Know the ability unlock points for your priority hero before you decide how many Conches to put into a window. Reaching that unlock is the real target. Extra star ranks after it come second.

A quick summary

• Pull when your priority hero is featured. Save when they are not, however strong the featured hero is.
• Never skip the free daily United Front summon.
• Cursed Ed is worth pulling for in the standard pool early on. Stop feeding him once your current core is built.
• Know the pity threshold on your banner before a big Conch spend.
• For limited and SP banners, check formation fit, the star rank you can reach in the window, and whether the pull takes budget from unfinished S-tier Legendaries.
• Buy Conch packs during priority windows. Let free income build between them.
• Gang leaders: agree on who builds which hero before major banners. One message prevents duplicate rosters across the Gang.

Save for the hero your formation needs. There will always be another banner.
