How Many Pulses for Guaranteed Pity in Genshin Impact?
In Genshin Impact, the notion of "pity" has become a significant metric for players to measure the effectiveness of their pulls or rolls. Pity measures the number of consecutive undesirable pulls before a player might obtain a 5-star character. In this article, we will delve deeper into the concept of "pity" and offer guidance on how many pulses it takes to guarantee that a player will get at least one 5-star character.
Understanding "Pity"
Initially, the pity system operated under a 90-cycle rule, where a guaranteed 5-star character will drop after 90 individual pulls. However, some changes have been implemented which altered the dynamics of how pity works. As seen in the article "Why Genshin Impact Pulses are So Annoying," the pity has changed, and the guarantees now vary depending on a few factors.
L Limited Banner and Standard Banners
For limited and standard banners, the chance of getting a 4-star or 5-star character increases significantly after accumulating 75 pulls. These thresholds are crucial for when deciding whether to continue exploring for a 5-star or to stop. Once the 90-pulsing threshold is reached without achieving a 5-star, the guarantee for such an outcome is 100%.
**Soft Pity- How Many Pulses?"
Another concept to consider during pulsing is the time-based pity, also known as soft pity. This takes control once a player hits anywhere from 70 to approximately 80 pulses, typically indicating that the pity progress bar is close to over.
Early Pity – What’s the Record?
Some fortunate moments where a player hits two or more 5s, a phenomenon called early pity*, may grant us an insight into specific events or banners that were luckier than others on record. However, predicting and controlling such luck still appears to be largely linked to chance.
Breaking the Pity Curse-Guidelines for 60 Pulls
1 Limited Banner: 12% Chance of 3 Star, 10 Pulses for 5.3% Chance of Pity
22nd 10 Pulss (20 Pulses)=0.6% & 5th 15 Pulss (25)-2.4% Combined Probability
3. Standard Banner: 27.4% Chance with Pity

Note: Calculating 5-star drop at standard banner is less straight forward. The actual probability is 4%

Wrapping Up
Purity of pity in Genshin Impact is still as uncertain as ever, regardless of the number of pounces. It’s tough to determine the specific patterns for 5-star guaranteed. To maximize the rate of 5-star discovery, players should take each new pull as a trial to achieve the coveted endgame character. The system seems to be as difficult to understand as the overall probability of success for the 5, a factor that might shift after a few attempts
