How pity works in Genshin Impact

If you are trying to plan pulls for a limited character, understanding pity is essential. In Genshin Impact, pity is a counter that tracks how many wishes you made since your last 5★. The more wishes you do without hitting a 5★, the closer you get to guaranteed results.

For Character Event Wish banners, there are three ideas that matter most: hard pity, soft pity, and the 50/50 featured guarantee system. This pity genshin impact calculator combines all three so you can make better pull decisions before spending your primogems.

Hard pity

Hard pity means you are guaranteed a 5★ by your 90th pull if you have not gotten one earlier. If your current pity is 60, you are at most 30 wishes away from a 5★.

Soft pity

Soft pity is where your chance of getting a 5★ starts increasing before hard pity. While exact hidden rates are not fully published, most community-tested models show a sharp increase starting in the mid-to-high 70s. That is why many players often pull a 5★ between roughly 74 and 82 pity.

The 50/50 featured rule

On a Character Event Wish banner, if you are not guaranteed, your next 5★ has a 50% chance to be the featured limited character. If you lose that 50/50, your next 5★ is guaranteed to be featured. This is what players mean by being "on guarantee."

What this pity calculator tells you

• Total wishes you can make from primogems, fates, and extra planned pulls.
• Chance of getting at least one 5★ with your current pity and wish count.
• Chance of getting at least one featured 5★ (factoring in 50/50 or guarantee).
• Expected number of total 5★ pulls over your full budget.
• Worst-case pull count to guarantee a featured character.

How to use the calculator step by step

1) Enter your current pity

Use the in-game wish history to estimate this accurately. Current pity is the number of pulls since your last 5★ on the same banner type.

2) Set your guarantee status

If your previous Character Event 5★ was not the featured unit, set it to "Yes" for guaranteed. Otherwise, leave it at "No" and the next 5★ is a 50/50.

3) Add your pull resources

Primogems convert at 160 primogems per wish. Add your Intertwined Fates and any extra wishes you expect from events, Starglitter shop, or future rewards.

4) Calculate and plan

Click "Calculate Odds" to see whether you are in high-risk territory, moderate chance, or near-certain range. This helps you decide if you should pull now, save more, or prepare for worst-case.

Quick planning examples

Example A: You are at 20 pity, not guaranteed, with 80 wishes total. You likely have a good chance at one 5★, but the featured character is still not certain due to 50/50 risk.

Example B: You are at 65 pity and guaranteed with 35 wishes. You are in a strong position: you are very likely to secure the featured unit before running out.

Example C: You are at 0 pity, not guaranteed, and have 180 wishes. This is the classic "full guarantee budget" where even worst-case outcomes still secure the featured character.

Tips to maximize your banner value

• Track pity separately by banner type; character, weapon, and standard do not share pity.
• Do not convert primogems into wishes too early unless needed; flexibility matters.
• If you are low pity and not guaranteed, be careful with impulse pulls.
• Save enough for a full guarantee if the upcoming character is a must-have.
• Use expected-value numbers as guidance, but always prepare for bad luck streaks.
