Light cones do not count towards pity in the same way that characters do, as they have their own separate pity system with a guarantee of a 5-star light cone after 80 pulls, and a 4-star item every 10 pulls. The pity for light cones is also subject to soft pity, which increases the odds of receiving a 5-star light cone by 6% with each pull after the 65th pull on Light Cone warp banners.
