What is the Pity Calculator?
It's a tool that tells you, in advance, your chance of pulling the character you want in Honkai: Star Rail. Just enter a couple of things (how many pulls since your last 5★, how many pulls you have) and it shows your odds as a percentage. That way you decide whether to pull now or save, instead of spending on a hunch and regretting it.
When should you use it?
- Before spending to pull a limited character — check whether your resources are enough to feel safe.
- When you're torn between 'pull now' or 'wait for the next banner' — the number decides for you.
- When planning how much Jade to farm for an upcoming character.
How to use — just 4 steps
- Step 1: Pick the banner you're pulling — Character, Light Cone, or Standard.
- Step 2: Drag 'Current pity' to how many pulls you've done without a 5★ (check your in-game warp history).
- Step 3: If you lost the last 50/50 (got a standard character), turn on 'Guaranteed'.
- Step 4: Enter the pulls you have (or your Jade). Results appear instantly — no button needed.
How to read the results
- The big % = your chance of getting the featured character with your current pulls. Above ~80% is fairly safe; below ~45% is a gamble.
- 'Chance of at least one 5★' = odds of any 5★ (featured or standard).
- 'Average needed' = the average pulls to land the featured — a resource estimate.
- 'Guaranteed featured within' = worst case you still get the character, with the matching Jade cost.
- The chart and table show how your odds grow per pull milestone — see at a glance how many more pulls are 'worth it'.
You're on a character banner, 60 pulls in with no 5★ (pity = 60), not guaranteed, with 40 pulls left. Enter that and the tool shows about 68%. Meaning: of 10 players in your shoes, ~7 get the character and ~3 don't. Good odds — if you truly want this character, pull; if you want a 100% lock, you'd need to save toward the 180-pull maximum.
Glossary — in plain words
- Pity — your accumulated pull count. The more you pull without a 5★, the closer a 5★ becomes.
- Soft pity — from pull 74 (character), the 5★ rate jumps sharply.
- Hard pity — pull 90 (character) is a guaranteed 5★ — it can't get unluckier.
- 50/50 — when a 5★ drops, there's a 50% chance it's the featured one you want, 50% a standard.
- Lose the 50/50 — the 50% where you get a standard. In return, your next 5★ is guaranteed featured.
- Guaranteed — the state where your next 5★ is certainly featured (because you lost the previous one).
- Stellar Jade — in-game currency. 160 Jade = 1 pull.
How does the Pity system work?
On Honkai: Star Rail's limited character banner, the base 5★ rate is 0.6% per pull. From pull 74 the rate ramps up (soft pity), and pull 90 is a guaranteed 5★ (hard pity). When you hit a 5★, there's a 50% chance it's the featured character; if you lose (get a standard character), your next 5★ is guaranteed featured — the 50/50 system. So at most 180 pulls guarantees the featured unit. This tool computes your exact odds from your pity and pull count, so you can decide whether to spend or wait.
Frequently asked questions
Do I lose my pity when the banner changes?
No. Character pity carries over to other limited character banners. The Light Cone banner tracks its own separate pity.
What does 'Guaranteed' mean and when do I turn it on?
Turn it on when your most recent 5★ was a standard character (you lost the 50/50). Your next 5★ is then guaranteed featured.
What's the maximum pulls to be sure of the character?
180 pulls (character): worst case is 90 for a standard 5★, then 90 more for the featured. That's 28,800 Stellar Jade.
Is this calculator accurate?
Yes. We use the game's real rates (0.6% base, soft pity 74, hard pity 90) with exact probability math, not an estimate.
Is the Light Cone banner different?
Yes. 0.8% base rate, hard pity 80, and 75/25 (easier to get the featured). Pick the right banner type for accurate numbers.
