How Does Pity Work in Genshin Impact?
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can guarantee getting that character you’ve been eyeing in Genshin Impact? Well, it’s all about understanding how pity works in the game.
So, let’s dive into the mechanics of pity in Genshin Impact and how it can help you snag those coveted characters and weapons.
What Is Pity in Genshin Impact?
Pity in Genshin Impact is a system that ensures players get a 5-star item after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts. Think of it as a consolation prize that makes sure your efforts don’t go unrewarded!
This system kicks in on both character and weapon event banners. For character banners, you’re guaranteed a 5-star character every 90 attempts. For weapon banners, the magic number is 80. However, if you pull a 5-star item before hitting these numbers, the count resets.
Double Pity System Explained
There’s more to the pity system in Genshin Impact. If your 5-star item isn’t the featured character or weapon on the banner, don’t worry! The next 5-star item you get is guaranteed to be the banner’s featured item. This ensures that your chances of getting what you want double after every unsuccessful 5-star draw.
This double-dip into the pity pot means even the unluckiest players can eventually get their hands on their favorite characters or weapons, as long as they keep trying.
