Talk:Tsurumaru Kuninaga/@comment-26221101-20150320203507

I think timing has more to do with RNG than who your leader is. I did 500/500/500/500 just for a daily smithing (still trying to get an oodachi :P ) and out came Tsurumaru. Not even two minutes later I decided to smith again as I wasn't planning on doing anything but pvp dailies. Same exact recipe. Out popped my second Tsurumaru.

A similar phenonomenon was happening with another tachi, Doutanuki, to me yesterday. I smithed him once with a recipe (I think it was the 60/50/70/70. Again, oodachi aim XD ) and he popped out for me three times in a row. The smithing attempts were spaced out within an hour or two.

I know that in some Japanese app games with similar "gacha" mechanics follow a similar pattern. Like in Chain Chronicle JP if you happen to pull a 4* or 5* unit, it's recommended that you immediately pull for another as the rng tends to group rarity of units into batches together. I only bring this up as other comments on different sword pages mention getting repeats with similar recipes rather often, even with higher rarity swords. It's very possible we might be seeing something similar here.

That said, take everything in this comment with a grain of salt ^^; These incidents are isolated, as I've done immediate smithing before with the same recipe/leader/etc. and have had uchigatanas appear.

For those that do care about leads: my lead was Kogitsunemaru.
