![]() The early-game bonuses really go far for you. Currently, I’ve hit 110 pulls on the Regular Warp without using any Stellar Jade on it. Granted, that is a lot of Star Rail Passes, but you should be able to get these through character ascensions, challenging the Simulated Universe each week, and various other in-game events. Unlike Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail will allow you to choose a 5-Star character after your 300th pull. It will either be the featured 5-Star character or a Regular Warp 5-Star character. The Event Warp 50/50 will never give you a Light Cone. For example, on the Jing Yuan banner, you may get Jing Yuan or you may get Welt Yang. The 5-Star characters on this banner are the ones who may break your 50/50 on the Event Warp. Each time you hit a pity pull, you’ll receive one 5-Star character or Light Cone at random. The 5-Star characters and Light Cones here don’t change. This is the permanent banner of Honkai: Star Rail. Basically, use the Light Cone Event Warp if you want to increase the effectiveness of a featured event character. ![]() ![]() You shouldn’t really see 5-Star characters on this banner, but you do have a chance to get some 4-Star characters. However, they can easily be used on other characters in your party. These Light Cones are usually designed for the featured Event Warp character, meant to enhance that character’s performance. This banner is specifically for getting the limited-time 5-Star Light Cones. Again, once you get that 5-Star, your pity counter resets and the process begins again. You are guaranteed a 5-Star at 90 pulls on any banner. This happens around 60 Warps and generally refers to when you get your 5-Star before your 90 pulls. Soft Pity is when the chances for getting your 5-Star go up, but the 5-Star isn’t guaranteed yet. Pity can be described in two ways: Soft Pity and Hard Pity. The pity system is identical to the one in Genshin Impact. It can be at 20 Warps or the full 90 Warps. It doesn’t matter when you get the 5-Star. As soon as you get your 5-Star, your pity counter resets. HoYoverse has set numbers and hard resets for its pity system. HoYoverse does a promotional first-time purchase bonus by doubling the amount of Oneiric Shards in each package. To break it down further, here are the costs associated with Star Rail Warps. However, most players will convert Oneiric Shards to Stellar Jade. These can be used to purchase other items from the Contract Shop. Instead, the game allows you to buy Oneiric Shards. Star Rail doesn’t allow you to buy Stellar Jade outright. As we say in the F2P world: Gacha Responsibly. Budget out funds for your games and stop when you hit that limit. As a general rule in gaming (and in life), be aware of your surroundings. However, at the end of the day, game developers need to make money somehow to keep the game going. One relies on gambling psychology, the other relies on putting content behind a paywall. Either you want a character enough to pull for them or you enjoy the game enough to continually spend money when a new update drops. Both systems rely on the player becoming immersed in the world and characters of the game. However, there are pros and cons to both approaches. Many developers and players in the F2P gaming space believe that paying for game updates is a more equitable, moral system for players over gacha. The ethereal nature of mobile games doesn’t help – the average lifespan for a mobile game is around 3 years. Your chances of getting what you want are slim without spending money. You have a certain amount of materials you can use to get what you want – in the context of Star Rail, you use Stellar Jade to pull for a character or Light Cone. Gacha is a highly controversial subject in the gaming world, primarily for its similarities to gambling. In exchange, HoYoverse games operate on gacha. HoYoVerse took this format and expanded it beyond the standard, creating AAA titles that are accessible without a paywall. Many mobile games have taken a free-to-play (F2P) approach, allowing players to opt into purchases if they want to.
