What is the Honkai: Star Rail pity system and how does it work? In a gacha game like Honkai: Star Rail, the pity system is there to ensure that you eventually get a few of the game’s most desirable characters and weapons, even though the base odds of any given loot box containing even one of them are really very low.
Whether you regard this as a kind gesture to reward loyal players or a cynical ploy to ensure you’re permanently kept just on the right side of “too frustrated to keep gambling”, it’s worth understanding the pity system of a gacha game you’re invested in. While as ever I don’t recommend or endorse spending real-world money on gachas, HSR’s pity system applies just as much to F2P players plugging in the freebie currencies they’ve managed to save up.
Read on for everything you need to know about how pity works in Honkai: Star Rail, including details of how this system influences all of the game’s different banners.
