Honkai Star Rail Pity System IS GOOD??? How the 50/50 System Works for Characters and LCs (Guide)

The pulling system and pity in Honkai Star Rail is considerably more friendly than other gachas I played at launch. But What is the 50/50 system and how exactly does it work? Find out here!

As an FYI, there is also a "soft pity" where after 60 or so pulls, your 5 star chances increase significantly. I read somewhere you are likely to see a 5 star at around 75, with 90 being max.

Just to clarify, it is every 10 summons you are guaranteed a 4 star not just a 10 pull at a time summon. One reason some people pull singles until the 4 or 5 star is summoned.

As a day 1 Genshin player, I'll say the pity system really isn't bad. You can most characters you want if you save, and every 10 pull feels like it matters

Well, in genshin, the weapon banner always has 2 5 star promotional weapons to guarantee an weapon, it is necessary to spend 240 pulls to get the weapon you want, since you can mark the weapon you want. In the Star Rail's launch is only one Light Cone in the Light Cone banner, so is possible that in the future they change it to Genshin's style once start the banner reruns along side with new characters

This is my first game from mihoyo, so I am also new to their games. Appreciate you explaining how their gacha pity system works.

As a day 1 Genshin player I'll probably just flesh my roster out early and then if some super banger meta changing 5 star comes out like HuTao did, I'll probably go full sail for them and their weapon to boost myself up. But early on I think I'll just pick and choose who to get and work with 4 star weapons mostly. Also try to discover who the 5 stars are pretending to be 4 stars, looking at you Fischl, Bennett and Xingqiu.

One thing about Genshin and Honkai Star Rail is pity in these games is better than other gacha systems when you have a 100% guarantee you will get the character you want. Sure it could take 150 rolls to 180 total, but it's a guarantee, and the pity carries banner over banner. So if you shoot for someone on a 50/50 and you were just trying to see if you win it, but a character you REALLY want is slated to come in the next patch or something, you can save the guarantee and grab them 100%. No bs, just enough to hit the soft pity more or less guarantee.

I will always take a 100% no BS guarantee in a gacha system vs other systems with higher percentages, or limited character banners with 2 people so you roll and hit one character 5 times, but not the other one you REALLY wanted, fuck that shit. Give me a guarantee any day of the week, then it stops being a gamba, and it's a matter of strategy in roll pulling at that point.

guess it really depends on how easy it is to get the currency and how much it dips off late game, alot of gacha games seem to slow down on the rewards once you start to get slower into story meaning it could be something where you need to save for specific banners you know are good

[mayafoxwitch]

Thank you so much for explaining this to me! I’ve never played Gactha (except from some ikemen/otome games lol) so I really appreciate a simple and friendly explanation on it! Thank you so much! 💖✨👏🏼🌸

Genshin's pity is very nice although the weapon banner in Genshin is usually a massive trap. I feel like HSR's is going to be less of a trap since it seems to be just a single lightcone featured per cycle, increasing your chance of getting what you want.

But the unit banners are usually pretty good feeling. You get something good every ten pull(since 4*s aren't bad in Genshin and seem to be the same in HSR unlike MRs in WotV :( ), and if you get an early 5*, its ALWAYS a good thing because it accelerates your chance of getting the one you want even if it isn't the one you want. Definitely better than a lot of other systems.

Engagement for the Honkai algorithm. I'm also looking into this game as a non Genshin player so great content as always! Thanks for the vid!

[AzurePursuer]

9 multis for guarantee 5*. I mean that's certainly not the worst I've seen. At the same time though, I think it will be the $$$ cost per multi or how readily available the currency is to earn for free that will decide how good that is

[cfuyuz]

as an og genshin player, u explained this PERFECTLY!

[josephoverton]

I will say that in Genshin, a full pity is roughly $200 for a 50/50. In WOTV, it's roughly $300 for a guarantee. Mathed out with the most expensive non limited pack in each game. So they are both kinda close, but pity carrying over definitely puts it in favor of Genshin imo. Also, there is a soft pity in Genshin where you are way more likely to receive a 5 star at around the 75th pull. However, i still prefer WOTV as the rates are generally far better. Btw in Genshin, free to play currency after exploring most of the map is quite low, though it seems to have gotten a bit better since I last played.

[markrideout]

The amount of videos I've seen where they just say, it's just like in Genshin is pretty insane haha. That said I enjoy throwing the odd 10 pull or two at banners I like so the pity carrying over is excellent. I'm going all in Jing Yuan because of his awesome JP voice actor so hopefully I can at least pick up Sushang and Tingyun.

Just to look into further after launch, genshin has a soft pity as well, where your chance of acquiring a character goes up substantially after 74 wishes in. So in the 2 years ive been putzing around genshin, i think at worst, it took me 82 rolls to get a character. I dont think Ive ever seen someone get so unlucky it actually took them 90. I have no idea if Star Rail will have this or not, but it would be good to keep an eye on.

Also secretly, the genshin 50 : 50 isnt a 50 : 50 but like a 51.5 : 48.5 per data aggregates (in the players favor). Though that fact hasn't helped me as in the 16 times Ive reached a 50 : 50, Ive lost 12 of those. My account still slaps, but man Id love for some love from the game. I went an entire year without winning a single 50 : 50!

It sounds like they upgraded their lightcone banner in a good way compared to genshin's weapon banner. Everyone just calls it a trap in Genshin for good reason.

[Morgothx]

man i played genshin almost 3 years and HSR since 1 month and i already have more 5s weapons in character is same but weapon banner in HSR is 1000x better

[Finalwaxers]

Great video! Got some confidence in pulling for characters in the game

[skyblue-fpul]

The carry over pitty is also found in arknights, which is why you actually can get quite a lot 5 stars consistently

[SirSaif]

That pity system in genshin one of best pity systems in all game in mobile and it work for meta not changing weekly it take 3 month too add new character as genshin player that what hope in this new games
