Honkai Star Rail is a brand new turn-based role-playing game from the developers of Genshin Impact, HoYoverse. The title features many similarities to its older sibling, including UI elements, progression, and the gacha system. The summoning system of Honkai Star Rail is divided into both Light Cone and character banners that carry their own respective guarantee or “pity” for the featured limited-time item.
The game can be hard to grasp owing to the complex nature of its banners, and many players may be confused about its exact mechanisms - including the nature of the pity system.
The pity counter of a banner will reset any time players summon a 5-star character or Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail, irrespective of the unit or Light Cone drawn.
However, the “true pity” is a little more complicated to decipher, resetting only if players draw the featured character or Light Cone from the Limited banners. If players run out of luck and lose the virtual coin toss that rewards them with the featured unit, the 5-star pity will be reset regardless, but with a catch - the next 5-star drawn from that same banner is guaranteed to be the featured unit.
Therefore, players are guaranteed a limited 5-star unit every 80 or 70 pulls, depending on the banner summoned on.
There are four banners available to summon on when players start a fresh account in the game:
All banners can be summoned on using Stellar Jades to exchange for pull currency. The banners carry their own separate pity and boosted units.
