- Save your rolls: Batch rolls during rate-up Mythic banners instead of pulling on the standard pool.
- Free rolls: Redeem active codes first for bonus rolls before spending anything.

How the Roll System Works in Build A Superhero
Rolling is the core progression loop of Build A Superhero. Every roll pulls from a weighted hero pool where higher rarities have dramatically lower drop rates but far stronger base stats and exclusive signature traits. Before chasing a Mythic, you need to understand exactly what you're rolling against.
The rarity pool is weighted as follows:
| Rarity | Roll Chance | Stat Profile | Signature Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mythic | 0.3%–1% | 90+ core stats | Exclusive fight-turning abilities |
| Legendary | 2%–5% | High 70s to low 90s | Powerful but not game-breaking |
| Epic | 8%–15% | High 60s to low 80s | Reliable utility traits |
| Rare | 15%–20% | Above-average | Basic traits |
| Common | 50%+ | Baseline ~50 | None |
At roughly 0.3%–1% per roll, Mythic pulls are rare by design. Expect long dry streaks on the standard banner — this is normal variance, not bad luck unique to you.
Currently confirmed Mythic-tier heroes include:
| Hero | Battle IQ | Strength | Speed | Durability | Roll Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmic Guardian | 96 | 94 | 82 | 97 | 0.3% |
| Speedster | 92 | 78 | 99 | 74 | 0.5% |
Step-by-Step: How to Roll Mythic Efficiently
Follow this exact order of actions to maximize your Mythic chances without wasting resources.
Redeem All Codes First
Open the Codes menu in-game and claim every working code for free rolls and coins before spending anything. Free rolls are pure upside — batch them with your saved rolls later.
Farm Rolls Through Quests and Dailies
Complete daily rewards, early quests, and battles to generate a steady roll income. The players who land Mythics are usually the ones with the largest batch of rolls, not the luckiest single pull.
Watch for Rate-Up Mythic Banners
Limited-time Mythic banners run boosted rates versus the standard pool. Never roll casually on the standard banner when a rate-up event is coming — patience is the single biggest factor in landing a Mythic.
Batch Your Rolls
Spend rolls in batches rather than one at a time. Batching during a boosted banner lets you take full advantage of the rate-up window and makes tracking your pull count easier.
Invest Immediately After the Pull
Once a Mythic lands, funnel coins and training into it right away. An under-invested Mythic underperforms a fully trained Legendary, so don't let it sit idle.
Set a personal rule: no rolling outside rate-up events. Banners rotate regularly, and saving even 20–30 rolls for a boosted window meaningfully improves your effective odds versus standard-pull spam.
Resource Management While Rolling
Chasing a Mythic drains resources fast. Smart allocation keeps your account progressing even during long dry streaks.
Coins
- Spend primarily on your carry hero's upgrades
- Keep a small reserve for rebirth/prestige costs
- Revisit the Codes menu after every update
Rolls
- Save in batches for rate-up banners
- Avoid single pulls on the standard pool
- Replenish via codes, quests, and daily rewards
Training Resources
- Funnel into one top-tier carry first
- Don't over-invest in heroes you plan to replace
- Balance power, speed, and Battle IQ
| Resource | Priority Spend | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Coins | Carry hero upgrades | Spreading thin across roster |
| Rolls | Rate-up Mythic banners | One-at-a-time standard pulls |
| Training | Single Mythic/Legendary carry | Heavy investment in Rare/Common heroes |
If your rolls stall at Epic, invest in one Epic with a trait matching your playstyle — Storm Caller's Chain Lightning is the best early farmer in the game — and use it to generate more rolls.
Mythic vs Legendary: Is the Chase Worth It?
Mythic heroes justify the chase, but only when you can invest in them. Here's how the top tiers compare:
| Aspect | Mythic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|
| Base stats | 90+ core categories | High 70s to low 90s |
| Traits | Exclusive, fight-turning | Strong but standard |
| Roll chance | 0.3%–1% | 2%–5% |
| Best use | Late-game carry | Best value tier |
Legendary heroes like Shadow Phantom and Iron Titan are obtainable within a reasonable number of rolls and strong enough to carry most content. A well-trained Legendary often beats an under-invested Mythic, so don't neglect your roster while saving rolls.
If a rate-up banner isn't coming soon and you have a strong Legendary carrying your content, keep farming rolls passively — don't feel forced into standard-banner pulls just to "do something" with them.

FAQ
Q: What are the Mythic roll odds in Build A Superhero?
Mythic heroes drop at approximately 0.3% to 1% per roll depending on the banner. Limited-time Mythic banners run boosted rates, which is why saving rolls for rate-up events is the single biggest factor in landing one.
Q: Should I roll one at a time or in batches?
Batch your rolls and spend them during rate-up Mythic banners. Batching during a boosted window maximizes your effective odds and prevents wasting rolls on the standard pool between events.
Q: How to roll Mythic heroes faster as a new player?
Redeem every working code first for free rolls, then farm rolls through quests and daily rewards while using an Epic carry like Storm Caller to progress. Save everything for the next Mythic rate-up banner rather than pulling casually.
Q: Is a Mythic always better than a Legendary?
Not automatically. Mythic heroes have the highest base stats (90+ in core categories) and exclusive traits, but a well-trained Legendary often beats an under-invested Mythic. Once your Mythic lands, invest coins and training into it immediately.
