Honkai Star Rail Warp System Explained

Introduction to the Warp System

The Warp system in Honkai Star Rail is the gacha mechanic that allows players to obtain new characters and Light Cones. Understanding how this system works is crucial for efficiently using your resources and maximizing your chances of getting the characters and equipment you want.

Types of Warps

Honkai Star Rail features several types of Warps:

• Character Event Warps: Limited-time banners featuring specific 5-star characters
• Light Cone Event Warps: Limited-time banners featuring specific 5-star Light Cones
• Standard Warp: Permanent banner with a fixed pool of characters and Light Cones

Pity System

The pity system in Honkai Star Rail ensures that players will eventually get a 5-star item after a certain number of pulls:

• Soft Pity: Around 74 pulls, your chances of getting a 5-star start to increase significantly
• Hard Pity: At 90 pulls, you are guaranteed to get a 5-star

50/50 System and Guaranteed Mechanics

On Character Event Warps, when you get a 5-star character, there's a 50% chance it will be the featured character and a 50% chance it will be a standard 5-star character. If you don't get the featured character, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character.
