Introducing the Pity System: A Guide to Maximizing Your Honkai Star Rail Experience
Unlocking new characters and Light Cones is a pivotal aspect of honing your skills in Honkai Star Rail, much like in the popular game Genshin Impact. To obtain these valuable resources, you’ll need to utilize Star Rail Passes on the Standard and Limited-Time Warp Banners. However, it’s important to note that you’ll only have the opportunity to acquire 4-Star and 5-Star items after reaching a specific number of pulls. This mechanism is known as the Pity System in Honkai Star Rail. In this article, we’ll delve deeper into how the Pity System works and provide you with all the information you need to take advantage of it.
Understanding the Mechanics of the Pity System
The Pity System operates on a gacha mechanic, ensuring that you receive a guaranteed 4-Star or 5-Star item after a predetermined number of pulls (referred to as Warps) on each Banner. Please note that different Banners have varying Pity limits. Below, you’ll find the corresponding Pity limits for each Banner type:
– Character Event Warp Banner: 10 Warps for a guaranteed 4-Star item, 90 Warps for a guaranteed 5-Star item
– Light Cone Event Warp Banner: 10 Warps for a guaranteed 4-Star item, 80 Warps for a guaranteed 5-Star item
– Regular Warp Banner: 10 Warps for a guaranteed 4-Star item, 90 Warps for a guaranteed 5-Star item
It’s worth mentioning that the Regular Warp Banner offers both Light Cones and Characters. Consequently, upon reaching 10 pulls, you’ll be assured of receiving either a 4-Star Light Cone or Character, while at 90 pulls, you’ll secure a 5-Star Light Cone or Character. However, before hitting the Pity limit, there’s still a chance of obtaining 4-Star or 5-Star items. The base probability of acquiring a 5-Star item stands at 0.600%, with a consolidated chance of 1.600%. On the other hand, the base chance of attaining a 4-Star item is 5.100%, 4-Star characters at 2.550%, and 4-Star Light Cones at 2.550%. The consolidated chance of obtaining these 4-Star rewards, including the guarantee, is 13.000%. Thus, while you might have a slim possibility of obtaining a 4-Star or 5-Star item before reaching the guaranteed mark, rest assured that you’ll automatically receive a 4-Star item after 10 pulls, and a 5-Star item at 80 or 90 pulls, depending on the Banner.
Additionally, it’s important to note that each Banner will have featured characters or Light Cones. These items will boast a 50% drop rate, meaning you have an equal chance of obtaining the featured item instead of a standard one. Standards items include characters and Light Cones featured in the Standard Warp Banner, serving as a valuable point of reference.
Maximizing the Potential of the Pity System
Now that you possess a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the Pity System, it’s time to unlock its full potential by learning how to use this mechanic to your advantage. To begin, navigate to the Warp Banner page and click on “View Details” located at the bottom. This will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the Pity System limits for each Banner, as well as which characters or Light Cones are currently featured. Adjacent to this information, you’ll find the “Records” section.
The “Records” page is an invaluable resource as it enables you to track the number of pulls you’ve made on each Banner thus far. Additionally, it details the specific item you acquired and the time it was obtained. By diligently reviewing this information, you can precisely determine the number of pulls needed before receiving a guaranteed 4-Star or 5-Star item. Once you reach the 80 or 90 pull mark and acquire a 5-Star item, your counting should reset, and you’ll start anew from zero.
Furthermore, when it comes to Character and Weapon Limited-Time Event Banners, if you’ve already made a certain number of pulls but haven’t reached 80 or 90 pulls yet, transitioning to a new Banner will not reset your count. Instead, you’ll continue with the same number of remaining pulls until you reach the required threshold. For instance, imagine you’ve completed 50 pulls on the Silver Wolf Banner, and suddenly, the Luocha Banner becomes available. In this scenario, you’ll only need to complete an additional 40 pulls before attaining a guaranteed 5-Star item.
Now armed with this knowledge, you’ll be able to navigate Honor Star Rail confidently and effectively optimize the Pity System to strengthen your position within the game and secure the coveted rewards you deserve.
