What is the Genshin Impact Pity Calculator? The Genshin Impact Pity Calculator is a specialized tool designed to help players of the popular gacha game, Genshin Impact, understand and predict their chances of obtaining rare 5-star and 4-star items from the game’s various wish banners. It takes into account the game’s internal “pity” system, which guarantees certain rarities after a specific number of pulls, and “soft pity,” where the chances of receiving a 5-star increase significantly before the hard pity limit.

Who should use it? Any Genshin Impact player who participates in the Character Event Wish, Weapon Event Wish, or Standard Wish banners can benefit from this calculator. It’s particularly useful for players who are:

• Saving Primogems for specific characters or weapons.
• Trying to manage their pulls and understand the true cost of obtaining a desired item.
• Curious about their current pity count and when they might expect their next 5-star.
• Wondering about the odds of getting a specific featured item (e.g., winning the 50/50).
• New to the game and trying to grasp the gacha mechanics.

Common Misconceptions:

• Pity is shared across all banners: This is incorrect. Pity counts are specific to each banner type (Character Event, Weapon Event, Standard). A pull on the Character Event banner does not affect your pity on the Standard banner, and vice-versa. Furthermore, pulls on the limited Character Event Wish banner do NOT carry over to the next limited Character Event Wish banner if the current one ends. Only the “guaranteed” status might carry over if you haven’t pulled a 5-star.
• Pity resets only on a 5-star: While pulling a 5-star item resets the pity counter for that specific banner type, pity is also lost if you switch banner types or if a limited-time banner ends and you haven’t received a 5-star yet.
• Soft pity is a hard, fixed number: The exact mechanics of soft pity are not officially revealed by miHoYo. While ~74 pulls is widely accepted as the point where chances increase dramatically, it’s an estimation based on community data, not a precise game mechanic.

Understanding the nuances of the Genshin Pity Calculator and the underlying mechanics is crucial for strategic Primogem spending.

{primary_keyword} Formula and Mathematical Explanation

The pity calculator Genshin operates based on a set of rules and probabilities defined by the game. Here’s a breakdown of the core logic:

Step-by-Step Derivation

1. Base Rates: The calculator starts with the fundamental probabilities for pulling items:
   • Base 5-Star Rate: \( P_{5\text{-star}} = 0.006 \) (0.6%)
   • Base 4-Star Rate: \( P_{4\text{-star}} = 0.051 \) (5.1%)
   • Base 3-Star Rate: \( P_{3\text{-star}} = 1 – P_{5\text{-star}} – P_{4\text{-star}} = 1 – 0.006 – 0.051 = 0.943 \) (94.3%)
2. Hard Pity (5-Star): Every banner guarantees a 5-star item within 90 pulls. If you haven’t received a 5-star by the 89th pull, the 90th pull is guaranteed to be a 5-star. The calculator tracks the current pull count towards this maximum.
3. Soft Pity (5-Star): Starting from a designated pull number (e.g., 74 for Character/Standard, 63 for Weapon), the probability of pulling a 5-star increases with each subsequent pull, rising sharply until the hard pity of 90. The calculator models this increase.
4. Guaranteed Featured Item:
   • Character/Weapon Event Banner: If the player has *not* received the featured 5-star item in the previous \( N \) pulls (where \( N \) is the pull count before the last 5-star), and the next 5-star is pulled, there is a 50% chance it will be the featured item. If it’s not the featured item (losing the 50/50), the *next* 5-star pulled on that banner is guaranteed to be the featured item. The calculator uses the “Guaranteed Featured Item” input to adjust this probability.
   • Standard Banner: Does not have a “featured” item in the same sense. The rate of any specific 5-star is much lower.
5. Guaranteed 4-Star: The game guarantees at least one 4-star item (or higher) within every 10 pulls. This means the 10th pull is guaranteed to be a 4-star or better. The calculator determines the next 4-star guarantee based on the current pull count modulo 10.
6. Calculating Chance for Next Pull:
   • 5-Star Chance: If current pulls \( < \) soft pity start: \( P(\text{5-star}) = P_{5\text{-star}} \). If \( \text{soft pity start} \le \text{current pulls} < \text{hard pity}: P(\text{5-star}) = P_{5\text{-star}} + (\text{Pull Count} - \text{Soft Pity Start}) \times \Delta P \), where \( \Delta P \) is the rate of increase per pull. If \( \text{current pulls} = \text{hard pity} - 1 \), \( P(\text{5-star}) = 100\% \).
   • Featured 5-Star Chance: If 50/50 is active: \( P(\text{Featured}) = P(\text{5-star}) \times \text{Rate of Featured} \). If guaranteed: \( P(\text{Featured}) = 100\% \).
   • 4-Star Chance: If current pulls modulo 10 is 9 (i.e., the 10th pull): \( P(\text{4-star}) = 100\% \). Otherwise: \( P(\text{4-star}) = P_{4\text{-star}} \).

Variables Table

Variable	Meaning	Unit	Typical Range
Pulls on Current Banner Pity	Number of wishes made since the last 5-star item on this specific banner.	Pulls	0 – 89
Guaranteed Featured Item	Whether the next 5-star is guaranteed to be the banner’s featured item.	Yes/No	Yes, No
Soft Pity Start Pull	The pull number where the 5-star probability begins to increase significantly.	Pull #	63 – 75
Hard Pity Pull	The maximum number of pulls before a 5-star is guaranteed.	Pull #	90
Rate of Featured 5-Star Item	The probability of obtaining the specific featured 5-star item when it’s determined to be featured (e.g., 50% on Character Banner).	Decimal (0-1)	0.125 (Standard), 0.5 (Event)
Rate of 4-Star Item	The base probability of pulling a 4-star item.	Decimal (0-1)	0.051
Rate of 5-Star Item	The base probability of pulling a 5-star item.	Decimal (0-1)	0.006

Practical Examples (Real-World Use Cases)

Let’s illustrate how the pity calculator Genshin works with practical scenarios:

Example 1: Saving for a Specific Character

Scenario: You’re saving for Nahida. You’ve pulled 55 times on the current Character Event Wish banner, and you *lost* the 50/50 on your last 5-star pull (so your next 5-star is guaranteed to be Nahida). Your soft pity starts at 74 pulls, and hard pity is at 90.

Inputs:

• Banner Type: Character Event Wish
• Pulls on Current Banner Pity: 55
• Guaranteed Featured Item: Yes
• Soft Pity Start Pull: 74
• Hard Pity Pull: 90
• Rate of Featured 5-Star Item: 0.5
• Rate of 4-Star Item: 0.051
• Rate of 5-Star Item: 0.006

Calculator Outputs (Estimated):

• Pulls Until Next 5-Star Guarantee: 35 (90 – 55)
• Chance for 5-Star on Next Pull: ~6.7% (soft pity is active)
• Chance for Featured 5-Star on Next Pull: 100% (since guaranteed)
• Pulls Until Next 4-Star Guarantee: 5 (since 55 mod 10 = 5, need 5 more to reach 60)

Interpretation: You are 35 pulls away from a guaranteed Nahida. Even though you are in soft pity, your chance of pulling her on the very next pull is relatively low (~6.7%), but significantly higher than the base rate. You are guaranteed a 4-star or better within the next 5 pulls.

Example 2: Trying for a Weapon on the Weapon Banner

Scenario: You’re pulling on the Weapon Event Wish banner for the Staff of Homa. You’ve made 20 pulls on this banner, and you are *not* guaranteed the featured weapon (you either just started or the last featured weapon you got was the one you wanted). Your soft pity starts at 63 pulls, and hard pity is 90.

Inputs:

• Banner Type: Weapon Event Wish
• Pulls on Current Banner Pity: 20
• Guaranteed Featured Item: No
• Soft Pity Start Pull: 63
• Hard Pity Pull: 90
• Rate of Featured 5-Star Item: 0.5
• Rate of 4-Star Item: 0.051
• Rate of 5-Star Item: 0.006

Calculator Outputs (Estimated):

• Pulls Until Next 5-Star Guarantee: 70 (90 – 20)
• Chance for 5-Star on Next Pull: ~0.6% (below soft pity)
• Chance for Featured 5-Star on Next Pull: ~0.3% (0.6% * 0.5)
• Pulls Until Next 4-Star Guarantee: 8 (since 20 mod 10 = 0, need 10 more to reach 30, so 8 more pulls)

Interpretation: You are still quite far from pity. Your chances of getting a 5-star weapon on the next pull are very low (0.6%), and even lower for the featured Staff of Homa (0.3%). You are guaranteed a 4-star or better within the next 8 pulls. You’ll need to be patient and save more Primogems.

How to Use This Genshin Pity Calculator

Using the Genshin Pity Calculator is straightforward. Follow these steps to get accurate pity estimations:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Select Banner Type: Choose the banner you are currently pulling on (Character Event Wish, Weapon Event Wish, or Standard Wish) from the dropdown menu. This is crucial as pity mechanics differ.
2. Input Current Pity: Enter the number of wishes you have made *since your last 5-star item* on this specific banner. If you just started pulling on a new banner, this would be 0.
3. Indicate Featured Guarantee: For Event banners (Character and Weapon), select “Yes” if your next 5-star pull is guaranteed to be the featured item (this happens after you pull a 5-star that was *not* the featured item). Select “No” otherwise. Standard Wish banners do not have this mechanic.
4. Set Soft Pity Start: Input the pull number where you believe soft pity begins. The defaults (74 for Character/Standard, 63 for Weapon) are commonly accepted community estimates. Adjust if you have specific data.
5. Set Hard Pity: The hard pity is always 90 for 5-star items on all banners. This value is usually fixed.
6. Set Featured Rate: This defaults to 50% for Event banners and 12.5% for the Standard Banner. Adjust if needed, though these are standard.
7. Input Base Rates: Enter the base probability for 4-star and 5-star items. The defaults (5.1% for 4-star, 0.6% for 5-star) are the official rates.
8. Review Results: The calculator will automatically update the “Primary Result,” “Key Intermediate Values,” and the table/chart below.

How to Read Results:

• Primary Result (Next 5-Star): This large, highlighted number shows the total number of pulls remaining until you are guaranteed a 5-star item, considering both hard pity and your current pull count.
• Pulls Until Next 4-Star Guarantee: Indicates how many more pulls you need to make to reach the next guaranteed 4-star item (which occurs every 10 pulls).
• Chance for 5-Star on Next Pull: Your estimated probability of getting *any* 5-star item on your very next wish, factoring in soft pity.
• Chance for Featured 5-Star on Next Pull: Your estimated probability of getting the *specific featured* 5-star item on your very next wish. This accounts for the 50/50 chance or guarantee.
• Pity Progression Table: Provides a detailed breakdown of probabilities for each individual pull number as you approach pity.
• Chart: Visually shows how your chance of pulling a 5-star increases with each pull as you enter the soft pity range.

Decision-Making Guidance:

Use the results to inform your decisions:

• Pity Count: Know exactly how many pulls you have and how many more you need for a guaranteed 5-star.
• Resource Management: Estimate how many Primogems or Acquaint/Intertwined Fates you’ll need.
• 50/50 Strategy: If you’re low on pity and need a specific character, you can decide whether to pull now or save for their next banner. If you lost the 50/50, you know the next is guaranteed.
• Weapon Banner Risk: Understand the higher risk and cost associated with the Weapon Banner, especially if you’re not guaranteed the featured item.

Key Factors That Affect Genshin Pity Results

While the Genshin Pity Calculator aims for accuracy, several factors and nuances influence the actual outcome and your overall gacha experience:

1. Banner Type Specificity: Pity counts are strictly separated for the Character Event Wish, Weapon Event Wish, and Standard Wish banners. Pulling on one does not affect the pity counter on another. This is the most fundamental factor.
2. The 50/50 Mechanic (Event Banners): On the Character Event Wish and Weapon Event Wish banners, when you pull a 5-star item, there’s a 50% chance it will be the featured item. If you don’t get the featured item, your next 5-star pull *on that specific banner* is guaranteed to be the featured item. This significantly impacts the “Chance for Featured 5-Star” calculation.
3. Soft Pity Thresholds: The exact pull number where soft pity kicks in is not officially confirmed by miHoYo. While community data suggests around 74 pulls for Character/Standard and 63 for Weapon banners, minor variations might exist. The calculator uses these common estimates.
4. Hard Pity Guarantees: The game guarantees a 5-star item on the 90th pull if none was obtained before. This is a fixed mechanic across all 5-star wishing banners. Similarly, a 4-star item is guaranteed within every 10 pulls.
5. Limited Banner Rotations: Limited Character Event Wishes and Weapon Event Wishes change periodically. If you have pity accumulated on a limited banner and don’t pull a 5-star before it ends, your pull count resets for the *next* limited banner. However, if you *did* pull a 5-star on the previous banner, the “Guaranteed Featured Item” status (if you lost the 50/50) may carry over to the next limited Character Banner. The calculator assumes current banner continuity unless the user resets.
6. Item Pool Size: The total number of items available in each banner’s pool affects the odds of getting a *specific* 4-star or 5-star character/weapon, especially on the Standard and Weapon banners where the featured item is just one among many possibilities. The calculator focuses on rarity and featured status rather than specific item odds within a rarity.
7. Rate-Up Manipulations (Weapon Banner Epitomized Path): The Weapon Banner has the “Epitomized Path” system. Selecting a specific weapon “charts a course” for it. If you receive a 5-star weapon that isn’t the one you charted, you are guaranteed the charted weapon on your next 5-star weapon pull. This is similar to the 50/50 but applies to weapons.
8. Potential Future Game Changes: While unlikely to drastically alter the core pity system, miHoYo could theoretically adjust rates or mechanics in future game updates. The calculator relies on current, established rules.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does my pity carry over between different banners?

A: Pity is specific to banner types. Pulls on the Character Event Wish banner do not affect your pity on the Standard Wish banner or the Weapon Event Wish banner. However, if you pull a 5-star on a limited Character Event Wish banner, the “guaranteed featured item” status (if you lost the 50/50) carries over to the next limited Character Event Wish banner.

Q2: What’s the difference between hard pity and soft pity?

A: Hard pity is the absolute pull number (90) where you are guaranteed a 5-star item. Soft pity is an unofficial term for the point (around pull 74 for Character/Standard, 63 for Weapon) where the probability of pulling a 5-star increases significantly with each subsequent pull, before reaching hard pity.

Q3: How do I know if I’m guaranteed the featured item on the Character Banner?

A: If you pull a 5-star item on the Character Event Wish banner and it is NOT the featured character, you are guaranteed the featured character on your *next* 5-star pull from that banner. The calculator accounts for this with the “Guaranteed Featured Item” setting.

Q4: Does pulling a 4-star reset my 5-star pity?

A: No, pulling a 4-star item does not affect your 5-star pity count. Only pulling a 5-star resets the 5-star pity counter.

Q5: What happens to my pity when a banner ends?

A: For limited-time banners (Character Event Wish, Weapon Event Wish), if you haven’t pulled a 5-star item before the banner ends, your pity count resets to 0 for the next banner of the same type. However, if you pulled a 5-star and lost the 50/50, the guarantee *does* carry over to the next limited Character banner.

Q6: Can I use the same pity count for the Weapon Banner and Character Banner?

A: No, pity counts are completely separate for the Character Event Wish and the Weapon Event Wish banners.

Q7: What is the “Epitomized Path” on the Weapon Banner?

A: It’s a system where you can choose one of the two featured 5-star weapons. If you pull a 5-star weapon that isn’t the one you chose, you gain a “Fate Point.” Your next 5-star weapon pull will then be the weapon you chose via the Epitomized Path. This calculator simplifies this slightly by asking if you are “Guaranteed Featured Item” (Yes/No), which covers this scenario.

Q8: Are the base rates (0.6% for 5-star, 5.1% for 4-star) accurate?

A: Yes, these are the officially stated rates by HoYoverse/miHoYo for all standard and event banners. The calculator uses these official base rates.
