Now, those six new characters look set to be split across four separate banners every month: amid-month, end-of-month and two Arena banners. Klab's previous format of two 6% chance banners of three new characters per month is gone. RELATED: Bleach Creator Promotes Loki in Japan With New Aizen Illustration The recent announcement of a second single character Arena summons featuring Byakuya (a character so overpowered it looks set to turn even more players off the brand new mode) has set a depressing precedent. The Swimsuit summons changed this from 4.5% to 1.5% but made little difference to fans. The first Spirits Are Forever With You summons, the second Movie remakes summons and the summer Swimsuit summons featured two new characters with a 3% chance for a featured character (including featured filler) and a 3% chance for useless older characters. This new approach was compounded by the release of a trio of two-character banners with a similar format.

Releasing a banner featuring an incredibly strong character for a mode that hadn't even been fixed to a reasonable state at the time already rubbed players the wrong way, but the reduced chance of obtaining the character infuriated them. This banner had only a single new character alongside five filler characters - with a 3% chance to pull one of those six characters and a 3% chance to pull a random five-star character that's several years old. With the release of the new Arena Mode, a new Arena Summons banner was dropped featuring a new Grimmjow. Recently, however, Klab has taken this one step further. Players have already noticed the reduced chances of pulling new five stars since the increase in filler units, which upset many within the community. Eventually, Klab added extra filler units to each summon pool in exchange for discounted initial summons. At launch, mid-month banners featured a 3% chance to pull a new character, while the end-of-month boasted a 6% chance for a five-star character. This would later be overhauled to convert mid-month banners into the same format as end-of-months. Despite a handful of exceptions, these banners contained three new characters each.

Historically, new characters were added to Brave Souls twice a month through a mid-month banner and an end-of-month banner.
