Genshin Impact Pity Guide — What are Hard and Soft Pity?
Genshin Impact is a gacha game, which means every time you try to earn one of its characters from a “banner,” it’s like pulling on a slot machine. It’s not entirely random, however. There’s a mechanic in Genshin called “pity,” and it exists to guarantee you get a chance at the character or weapon you want — provided you can pay. And if you want to reach the point where the game takes “pity” on you and gives you a shot at a powerful five-star character or weapon? Prepare to have empty coffers, either real-world or in-game. Here’s how the pity system works in Genshin Impact.
How Pity Works in Genshin ImpactPity in Genshin impact happens no later than 90 pulls on any banner for 5-star entities and ten for 4-stars.

5-Star Character or Weapon – 0.6% 4 Star Character or Weapon – 5.1% 3 Star Weapon – 94.3%As your pity counter increases, the odds eventually cap out at the following values:
5-Star Character or Weapon – 1.6% 4 Star Character or Weapon – 13% 3 Star Weapon – 85.4%It’s not the biggest improvement for 5-stars, but 4-star characters and weapons do get more than double the chances. There’s a catch, though (because when isn’t there?). Whenever you actually get a 4 or 5-star, the pity counter resets. In other words, let’s say you got your 5-star at 54 pulls. At that point, you no longer have just 34 pulls till your guarantee: you have 90 again. The same is true of 4-star characters or weapons: get one, and your counter resets to zero with a cap of ten.
Limited Banners handle pity a bit differently in that if you don’t have the currency to get
