What is Honkai: Star Rail Pity?

Honkai: Star Rail pity refers to a system that guarantees a rare pull for players based on how many pulls have already been made, ensuring that players will eventually receive a 4-star or 5-star character without having to spend indefinitely. The pity system in Honkai: Star Rail works similarly to a Character Event Warp banner, where every 10 pulls guarantees at least a 4-star item, and the base odds of pulling a 5-star item increase over time, reaching 100% between 75 and 90 pulls.
