Honkai: Stellar Rail is the new game from the creators of Genshin Impact which is also going to be free, although it will be very different. Mostly because of his fighting style, since he’ll put aside that real-time action to focus on turn-based combat, which are much more strategic. But of course it will have many similarities with Genshin, and perhaps the most obvious is the use of gachapon.
You know, the gachapón is the mechanism for making rolls in exchange for a type of in-game currency, and with each throw you will get an object. The best you can get is a 5-star character, but the odds of that happening are pretty low, obviously.
However, yes, at some point a 5 star character must necessarily touch you so that the game is not excessively unfair. It’s here where pity comes in, the 50/50 system and so on. This system is present in Genshin Impact and, as in every gachapón, it will also be present in Honkai: Star Rail.
In this post I will tell you what is pity and 50/50 there how it will work in Honkai: Star Rail. Stay tuned, as this will be of interest to all players!
All About Honkai Roll System: Star Rail
What is pity?
the damage is the MAXIMUM number of rolls you need to have a secure 5 star character. In games with gachapón, there is a limit of throws to get 5 stars.
- For example in Genshin Impact, Too bad it’s 90 so If you don’t get any 5-star characters in your rolls, you’ll get an assured one at 90 rolls
- But that doesn’t mean it won’t come out sooner. You can get a 5 star character in any of the reels. The 90 draw is only for make sure that, if you have this bad luck, at least in the 90s, you will have an insured
- pity resets each time you hit a 5 star character
- For example, if on roll 50 you get 5 stars, pity returns to 0 at this time
What is 50/50?
To explain the 50/50, we must first know what are banners The banners are what you ride. That is, there is one banner for X currently active character, for example; if you want to try to create this character X, you get naked on this banner. But there are two types of banners (there may be more, but I’m talking about the main two):
- Permanent Banner: this banner never changes and is always there since the release of the game and forever. And in this banner there are usually several 5-star characters, there is no pity worth it, so you can touch a character at any time or never touch it (if you are very unlucky) and , generally, permanent characters tend to be worse characters
- Promotional banner: with every game update, usually every few weeks, they add a new banner with a new character (or one that existed a while ago) and remove the old banner. These characters are the ones worth it, because they aren’t always around and they’re usually better characters
He 50/50 only affects the promotional banner, and now you will understand why. When pulling a promotional banner and you end up getting a 5 star character, whether in roll 90 or earlier, This does not mean that the character that hit you is exactly the one on the banner. It’s 50/50, and it’s called that because you have a 50% chance of being hit by the banner character. If you don’t get this one, you will get a permanent banner character, that’s why it’s not worth throwing away the permanent banner.
However, All is not so bad. If you hit a 5 star character that does not belong to the banner you rolled for, you will have lost 50/50. But if you lose it the following is assured. That is, if you get a 5 star character that is not from the banner you shot for, the next time you get a 5 star character you will get the one from the banner you shot for .
So what does Honkai: Star Rail look like?
took place recently a beta for Honkai: Star Rail, so all the data was pulled from there. Currently, Too bad for Honkai: Star Rail is 90 years old, as Genshin Impact and exactly as I explained.
In Honkai: Star Rail is also the 50/50 system, so it’s possible you’ll get a character that doesn’t belong to the promo banner you ran for, in which case you’ll secure the next 5-star character that hits you.
And that’s all! I hope I explained myself well, and leave all questions in the comments and I will try to solve them as best as possible.
