How Much Pity is a 4-Star? A Comprehensive Guide
In Genshin Impact, understanding the pity system is crucial for ensuring you get the characters you want. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pity system, specifically focusing on the 4-star characters and the guarantee period associated with them.
4-Star Character Banner
On the standard banners, each wish has about a 0.6% chance of pulling a 4-star character. As you make consecutive wishes, the pity mechanism comes into play.
Soft Pity
Soft Pity is when you continue rolling on a banner and the system decides to pull a 4-star character after a set number of rolls. Soft Pity and Pity for 5-Star characters carry over between all current and future character event Banners. The Wanderlust Invocation Banner follows the same Soft Pity and Pity odds, but is entirely separate from the character event Banners.
| Character/Banner Type | Soft Pity Resets at | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 5-Star and 4-Star Characters | 10th roll | You lose the 50/50 on Klee’s banner and continue rolling on Kazuha’s banner; you’ll eventually get a guaranteed Kazuha on your next pull. |
Pity Carry Over
Pity carries over from banner to banner, and this includes the standard banner, Wanderlust Invitation Banner, and weapon banners. This means that you won’t start from scratch with each new banner or roll.
4-Star Guarantee Period
The 4-star pity guarantee period is shared between banners, meaning if you’re currently on the 20th roll for a specific character, this count continues until you roll a 5-star. The same is true for the Weapon Banner.
4-Star Guaranteed Roll-Off Point
After around 20-25 consecutive rolls without a 4-star character, your next wish becomes a guarantee, and a 4-star character is essentially locked. This does not apply to the 5-star guaranteed roll mentioned below.
50/50 Odds
50/50 Odds refer to the chance of getting the featured character after losing a guaranteed roll on a character banner. When you finally roll the character, that is the start of your new guarantee period. Fate Points on the Weapon Event Wish banner do not carry over.
| Banner/Character | Odds | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Star Character (Standard/Character Banners) | 0.6% per roll | Soft Pity resets after 10 rolls |
| 4-Star Character (Wanderlust Invitation) | ?% per roll | 5-Star chance unaffected, carry over shared |
| 5-Star Character | 0.6% per roll | Starts separate guarantee period |
What are the Odds of Getting Tartaglia?
The true rate of pulling a 4-star character, including Tartaglia, is around 0.6% per roll. Given this, there is about 50% chance of Tartaglia in each 5-star guarantee.
