Route decisions and related resources
The historical route is the Villain Banner, so a Standard Banner recommendation would send a Dark Mage search to the wrong pool. The any-Mythic rate and named-unit rate describe different outcomes. A Mythic pity of 400 is a rarity counter, not a promise of Judar. Dark Mage (Sovereign) is also a different unit name from Sinbad’s Sovereign: the former is Hydro/Magical, while the latter belongs to a Storm/Physical family. Use the complete name when comparing evolution materials. The banner guide separates pool rules from current featured names, and Sinbad’s page resolves the Sovereign naming collision.
