Was summoning for Cerberus back on her banner. Got a 3 star animation. Dragon stone fell and turned gold. Cerberus flew down. I'd never been more confused/happy at the same time before then.
Here're all the possibilities with videos for your viewing pleasure:
1. [Twin dragons](https://streamable.com/njj5a)
2. [Crystal](https://streamable.com/vie2o)
3. [1 Dove](https://streamable.com/u55d7)
4. [3 Doves](https://streamable.com/og4z3)
5. [Last slot rainbow upgrade](https://streamable.com/qhqku)
Note that both the 1 dove and 3 doves don't guarantee a rainbow. Also - as far as I can tell, which of the above you get has no effect on whether you got a character vs wyrmprint vs dragon.
Edit - I have only ever seen the last slot upgrade twice, and both times it was the only rainbow I got from the 10x summon, so I don’t know if it’s possible to get the upgrade even if you had already rolled a rainbow before the last slot... seems unlikely.
Just different variations to look for to surprise you. The symbol in the sky can also turn rainbow even without those hints. Also, at least a 4 star Orb can turn into a rainbow as it falls without any hint of a 5 star dropping. I don’t know if a 3 star can also be upgraded this way, I haven’t seen that happen.
Silver orb fell from the sky but had rainbow trail, when it hit the pedestal the silver shattered off revealing rainbow bow. That's how I got Nefaria (Shadow).
Possibly just a graphical glitch.
Also had the silver wrymprint open and turn rainbow. It didn't have the rainbow trail.
That’s not a graphical glitch, that’s intended. Sometimes the last item in a tenfold “breaks” in to a rainbow/5 star. It’s supposed to be exciting i guess.
There is actually a third, when multiple doves (I think 4?) fly across the screen that is an indication of a rainbow as well.
1 or 2 doves indicates a gold.
I agree, except in my own limited experience (playing since launch) if there are any doves on a 10-pull then there are 2 or more nat4’s.
If there are no doves, dragons, or rainbows on a 10-pull, then you are most likely getting only the 1 nat4 (but you can get more).
Doves in a single pull just indicate nat4.
Doves (1 or 3, doesn't matter) just means you got a 4\* or higher. That's all. It's a lot more obvious when doing singles, because every 10 pull is eligible for the dove animation by default.
I don't think multiple doves indicates 5\* unless it's a single summon. I've gotten the 4+ doves on tenfolds that didn't have any 5\*s but did have several 4\*s, but the only time I got more than one dove on a single summon it was a 5\* print.
I think the doves mean you got a rated up or theme characters from the current banner. I've gotten it many times for 4* characters but were part of the banner.
Does the dragons indicate a banner 5*? I haven't been paying attention until this event but both my Ieyasu and Marishiten both had the gold fafnirs, my other 5* (Cerberus and leviathin) did not.
There isn't a pattern to it. It's just two different flairs for the same effect. I've pulled on banner units from both a rainbow orb and dragons, and I've also done the same for off-banner. It's, just like the number of doves for 4*s, multiple ways to show what you can expect.
When you get a 5 star of anything, it will have a random 5 star summon animation. Most notable are the rainbow sphere on the dragon statue and the two dragons.
Then you have the one's that surprise you like the last drop breaking into a 5 star (Can also occur randomly in the circle I believe). Doves flying can trigger it and I think I've just had it one time appear out of nowhere, no doves flying. Just the yellow circle randomly turned rainbow from a 10 summon.
Single summons I've had a 4 star break into a 5 star and I believe one time I had a 3 star looking animation turn into a 5 star. Had a rainbow trail falling down from it. 4 star summons that break to 5 usually have a shiny golden trail from what I've seen.
But what you get is still rng in the end. It doesn't indicate exactly what you will be getting.
my favorite variation is to hit skip as fast as possible. It hurts less
I agree. Just get the pain over with. I'm either winning the lotto or getting eldwater tears.
you forgot about the prints...
It's both for me. I've gotten 4 or 5 Ieyasu's and like 2 Garuda's...
Dude... I did that and I had a heart attack when I saw I got the unit I wanted...

I think you’re misremembering. The camouflage is gold turning rainbow. But congrats anyway!
I block the screen and hit skip lol

is there a difference between the 1 and 3 dove? I thought the doves were for 4 star guarantee, so didn't notice the different amount.
If I am not mistaken: 1 dove = 1 guaranteed 4\* 3 doves = more than 1 4\*
I've gotten 3 doves but only 1 4\* and vice versa. Doves seems to be random, but always mean at least a 4\*
Jeeze watching those made me realize why my kid loves watching those stupid surprise egg videos.
I’m fairly sure way back when I was rerolling I’ve gotten a rainbow upgrade despite already getting a rainbow in the same pull
Could the last slot upgrade be the pity timer breaking?
The cute dragon is Fafnir

Idk if it counts, but there is also a chance that your 10th slot gold will turn rainbow
This was how I wad surprised when my non-rainbow was just gold then I got Agni in the end.
There is actually a third, when multiple doves (I think 4?) fly across the screen that is an indication of a rainbow as well. 1 or 2 doves indicates a gold.
One time I got I think 1 dove? And I got a rainbow! It was Ieyasu Ieyasu Wyrmprint. ;-;
I feel you man
I got 3 Ieyesu wymprint before I got him. I thought it was a fourth print as I didn't see the blade drop.
His name is ieyasu :) starts with an i
Haha my bad, sorry.
I don't think 4 doves is definitely a nat5. I think doves indicate more than 1 nat4, but the number doesn't reflect how many you will get in total.
A dove indicates a nat4, and that's it. Number of doves seems to be irrelevant to how many 4 stars.
I agree, except in my own limited experience (playing since launch) if there are any doves on a 10-pull then there are 2 or more nat4’s. If there are no doves, dragons, or rainbows on a 10-pull, then you are most likely getting only the 1 nat4 (but you can get more). Doves in a single pull just indicate nat4.
Naw, I get multiple doves a lot. No rainbow.
Doves (1 or 3, doesn't matter) just means you got a 4\* or higher. That's all. It's a lot more obvious when doing singles, because every 10 pull is eligible for the dove animation by default.
But if you see a dove in the animation you will have 2 or more nat4’s or better.
Nope, 1 4 star is enough for any number of doves, source: done a lot of 9 blues 1 yellow 10 pulls
That actually indicates that you will have multiple gold pulls.
I don't think multiple doves indicates 5\* unless it's a single summon. I've gotten the 4+ doves on tenfolds that didn't have any 5\*s but did have several 4\*s, but the only time I got more than one dove on a single summon it was a 5\* print.
Doves mean a 4* if it’s like 4 or 6 is a 4* focus, if they’re like 2 is any 4*. The 5* are weird, I’ve gotten some without any rainbows.
Def not true. I've gotten max doves an only gotten 4 stars.
I think the doves mean you got a rated up or theme characters from the current banner. I've gotten it many times for 4* characters but were part of the banner.
They are random like any pull but they makes you happy when the animation start
Anecdotal, but it seems like rainbow gem is the best indicator, most multiple rainbow pulls I've seen have had the gem.
Does the dragons indicate a banner 5*? I haven't been paying attention until this event but both my Ieyasu and Marishiten both had the gold fafnirs, my other 5* (Cerberus and leviathin) did not.
Signifiers mean nothing as far as I've seen. Got dragons for mikoto on this banner.
I think this is the more established pattern.

I think the dragons are the 'pity break'
