The Pity System is a Gacha feature in Wish Banners in Genshin Impact. Learn more about the Pity System, what is Soft and Hard Pity, and how to guarantee that 5-star pull in the weapon or character banner!
List of Contents
The pity system refers to a number of pulls or wishes you need to do on a banner before you're guaranteed a 4-star or 5-star. You have a chance of getting a 4-star or 5-star before even reaching that number.
Banner | 4-Star Weapon or Character | 5-Star Weapon or Character |
---|---|---|
Featured Character Banner | 10 Wishes | 90 Wishes |
Featured Weapon Banner | 10 Wishes | 80 Wishes (Weapons Only) |
Permanent Banner | 10 Wishes | 90 Wishes |
With the pity system, if you roll 9 times in a banner and don't get a 4-star or a 5-star, your 10th roll will be a guaranteed 4-star or higher.
The same goes for the 5-star pity, if by your 89th wish (79th for weapon banner), you still haven't received a 5-star weapon or character, your next wish is guaranteed to be 5-star.
When you get a 4-star or 5-star drop, there's a 50% chance it will be a featured character or weapon in the limited banner.
If you didn't receive the featured character, your next guaranteed 4-star or 5-star drop will be the featured character or weapon.
If you do a 10 roll on a banner and receive multiple 5-star character or weapons (lucky!), the last 5-star you receive will determine if your next 5-star will have a 50/50 chance or be a guaranteed featured character.
For example, in a single 10 roll, you get both Hu Tao (featured) and Qiqi (permanent). If Hu Tao appeared first followed by Qiqi, your next 5-star will be guaranteed to be the featured character. However if Qiqi appears first followed by Hu Tao, your next 5-star pull will be a 50/50 chance to be the featured character.
Soft Pity refers to the range of wishes between 60 to 80 pulls since your last 5-star character or weapon. This is a term used for when you are closer to your 89th pull without getting a 5-star character or weapon, but have not quite hit it yet.
Hard Pity is the term used when you reach nearly or exactly 90 pulls to get a 5-star character or 80 pulls for a 5-star weapon.
The wish counter is separate for the 3 banners (Promotional Character, Promotional Weapon, and Permanent). The wish counter resets when you get a 4-star or a 5-star.
Getting a 4-star won't reset your counter for 5-star, but getting a 5-star will reset the counter for your 4-star and 5-star pity.
If the limited banner ends for the Promotional Character and Promotional Weapon, the counter will carry over to the next banner of the same category.
As mentioned, each banner type has its own counter. Wishing in one of the banners won't reset the counter for the other banners. You can check how close you are to pity by going to the History tab in the Wish Menu.
Version 2.3 introduced a new wish banner called the Character Event Wish-2, which is basically a second Featured Character banner that will run at the same time. These double banners will usually be used during character reruns.
The wish counter and wish guarantee is shared between the two Character Event Wish banners, and will carry over to the next set of Promotional Character banner.

After Version 2.0, players are given the means for a guaranteed pull for the weapon they want. However, to get this guaranteed pull, you have to pull a 5-star weapon 3 times in total, where the third and final pull will be the weapon you selected. This is assuming that the first two pulls are not the weapon you want.
