The summoning system in Guild of Guardians is designed to be fair, transparent, and engaging, giving players significant control over their rewards. The system is built around two primary banners: the Premium Banner and the Standard Banner. Both feature unique Guardian pools, transparent drop rates, streakbreaker mechanics to guarantee high-value drops, and a Wishlist system to help you target the heroes you want most.
Summoning Stones are the primary currency used to acquire new Guardians from the Standard Banner. The in-game guide provides the following overview:
Calling Crystals are a special currency used specifically for limited-time Summoning Events, which often feature exclusive Guardians.
Every summon also rewards you with bonus currencies that can be spent in the new Summon Store.
These currencies can be exchanged in the Summon Store for Guardian Shards and other valuable items. The store's inventory rotates every two weeks.
The Premium Banner is the primary source for acquiring rare Gen1 Guardians. Each week, a specific Gen1 Legendary is featured, which increases its drop rate significantly.

The Streakbreaker mechanic guarantees that you will receive a high-value Guardian after a certain number of summons if you haven't received one naturally.
-1 indicates that the category has no streakbreaker.The Wishlist allows you to select which Guardians you'd like an increased chance of summoning. It gives you direct control over which Guardians you can receive from a summon.
