How Does Soft Pity Actually Work?? | HONKAI: STAR RAIL

I actually believe the soft pity was a bit of gacha gamer superstition and nonsense, especially since I didn't experience it in Genshin. BOY WAS I WRONG! Honkai Star rail has one and let me show you it live.

While it is certainly possible that the first 20-30 pulls have better rates, I think it is more likely that people with positive outcomes are posting their pulls. Especially for a new game where people may have rerolled on these banners.

Also looking at the Seele results where 64% of people won a 50-50 chance.

That shot towards Techtone at the end 😆

Want a simplified version?

10 pull until you get to 50-60. Single pulls until you get the character or reach hard pity. If you fail the 50/50, you'll get it next time.

This is the first GATCHA game that ive played with a pity system. You're GUARANTEED the character you want in 180 pulls. Does it suck having to do 180? Sure, but at least you get what you want.

The purpose of soft pity is so that players feel less bad when pulling units. Mihoyo has to post their hard pity summon count and their gacha pull rate, its the law. Since players know what hard pity is they know how many resources they need for a 5 star. But in most gacha games like WOTV, if you have to pity a unit thats bad and very tilting. Soft pity is close to the hard pity number but players feel less bad because they didn't hit that ceiling. The devs maximize their profits while also keeping the playerbase happy making them feel good that they didn't hard pity a unit.

You didn't hit hard pity by design, imagine the unlucky world where you had to hard pity every Seele you got, you probably feel less good about Star Rail as a game because of a shit pull experience.

thanks for showing the numbers and mountains, I didn't play genshin either. so this soft pity was a much needed explanation for me :)

VERY NICE Video, concise and clear, and the 1st time ever I really understand Pity! Warp Tracker helped most Lol, Ty, Appreciate.

[MapleYum]

Great video. Yeah I lost the 50/50 and pulled Bronya at 77. Going to save up a bunch and splurge on 10s now. Thanks!

When you focus on how the early 1-20 pull rates are higher at ~.70 than the mid 21-70 pull rates at ~.50, what you are seeing isn't deception or scummy corporate behavior but user reroll behavior. Accounts that did not pull five stars in the first twenty pulls were destroyed. Accounts that did pull five stars in the first twenty pulls were kept and then their pull records were uploaded to the server. If you recalculate the results after removing pulls leading up to the first five star you should see a trend towards ~.60.

But if you wish on the standard banner and then wait for the 5 star character with a pity built up on the standard banner, WILL that pity cross over to that event character's banner because I am currently savig for Jingliu since I dont have enough for Kafka😢?

[kipp]

They announced it in several streams and it's the same odds as a hundred cost unit atm

[HOPE]

Uhm if i got a 5 star on the normal banner but it doesnt show on the record.Did i lose my pity?

[Doctor_Yiggles]

I only wish they had a bar that you could visually see like how WOTV has, but the thing I suppose is once you hit a 5* it resets the pity. So maybe thats why there isn't a bar. It would just make it easier since the tracker of your pulls doesn't seem to show the history right away. I am kind of in the wish the system was different, but I haven't had good luck with my 50-50 so there is also that. At the same time I've gotten Himeko, Gapard & Clara because of losing it so it isn't totally terrible.

Hey AJ! Thank you for the information bro! Is really useful, so, if I got this right, to hit soft pity, you gotta go until pull 70~ so it will be 7 10x pulls ish. So in pull 8 10x you will hit soft pity… right?

And what if you hit a 5* before that? Soft pity chances reset? Or keeps going?

[Nakamako]

ok so when i do a 10 pull do i on 67 do i get 6 times chanses or not

[sussussy]

when u get the featured character on the soft pity do u lose the 50/50 and pull count resets to 0?

[paulofilho]

On Genshin 70-80 has the bigest chances and after 81 it drops untill on 90 its 100%. Thats why 70 is the soft pity whyle 90 is hard one.

[juancruzalric]

How can you upload your android data If you are using your phone?

[Fortin]

if i did 60 pull on seele banner and i stop there (without getting any 5*), will i still be at 60 pulls pity when the next caracter is released or i will have to start from 0 ?

[joseph]

I knew about the soft pity ahead of time so at least I was prepared for it

[heplyx]

Guys do your pity reset after each version??
