Once you understand the math behind it, planning your pulls becomes much easier and far less stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_5-Star_Drop_Rates\"><\/span><strong>Basic 5-Star Drop Rates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Character Event Warps have very low base drop rates for 5-star characters, usually below 1% per pull. That means getting a 5-star early is mostly luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the system includes built-in protection known as pity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/basic-5-star-character-in-hsr-4.0-phase-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/basic-5-star-character-in-hsr-4.0-phase-2.jpg 975w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/basic-5-star-character-in-hsr-4.0-phase-2-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/basic-5-star-character-in-hsr-4.0-phase-2-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/basic-5-star-character-in-hsr-4.0-phase-2-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/basic-5-star-character-in-hsr-4.0-phase-2-450x277.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: YouTube \/ Pretender<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most players begin to see increased drop chances around the mid-70 pull range, which is commonly called soft pity. During this stage, your odds improve significantly with each pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still haven\u2019t obtained a 5-star by 90 pulls, the game activates hard pity, guaranteeing a 5-star character. This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lucky players may get a 5-star in 10\u201340 pulls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most players obtain one around 70\u201385 pulls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>90 pulls guarantee a 5-star<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this system, 90 pulls is considered the realistic maximum cost for a single 5-star drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_5050_System_Explained\"><\/span><strong>The 50\/50 System Explained<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a 5-star doesn\u2019t always mean you\u2019ll obtain the featured character. When you pull a 5-star from a limited banner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is a 50% chance it will be the featured character<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a 50% chance it will be a standard banner character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is commonly known as the 50\/50 system, and it\u2019s the reason players often save large amounts of Stellar Jades before a banner arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you lose the 50\/50 and receive a standard 5-star instead, the system gives you a major advantage: your next 5-star on a limited banner is guaranteed to be the featured character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guarantee carries over between banners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you lose the 50\/50 in Phase 1, your next 5-star in Phase 2 will be guaranteed to be Sparxie, Cerydra, or Rappa, depending on which banner you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worst-Case_Pull_Cost\"><\/span><strong>Worst-Case Pull Cost<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of pity and the 50\/50 system, there\u2019s a clear maximum cost for any limited character. Worst-case scenario looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>90 pulls \u2192 First 5-star (lose 50\/50)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another 90 pulls \u2192 Guaranteed featured character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Total maximum cost: <strong>180 pulls for one guaranteed limited character.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why experienced players usually plan their Stellar Jade savings around the 180-pull mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pity_Carries_Between_Banners\"><\/span><strong>Pity Carries Between Banners<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important mechanics many players overlook is pity carryover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you make pulls on one limited banner and stop before getting a 5-star, your progress transfers to the next banner. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You pull 60 times in Phase 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No 5-star appears<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sparxie banner arrives in Phase 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your next pull starts at 60 pity, meaning you&#8217;re already close to soft pity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes banner timing extremely important in Version 4.0. Even partial pull sessions help reduce the cost of your next target character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Typical_Pull_Expectations\"><\/span><strong>Typical Pull Expectations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While guarantees exist, most players fall somewhere in the middle of the probability curve. And what does a realistic expectation look like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Early luck: 10\u201340 pulls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average range: 70\u201385 pulls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guaranteed: 90 pulls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full guarantee with 50\/50 loss: 180 pulls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning around averages is risky.

If you\u2019re already near 75 pulls, you\u2019re entering soft pity range, which means your chances of getting a 5-star increase significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you previously lost your 50\/50, then your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character. That\u2019s a massive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re at low pity with no guarantee and limited pulls saved, understand that you\u2019re relying purely on luck. Planning beats hoping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Decide_Based_on_Your_Account_Needs\"><\/span><strong>2. Decide Based on Your Account Needs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t pull just because Sparxie is new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you lack a strong DPS for Memory of Chaos or Pure Fiction, Sparxie is the most impactful upgrade in Phase 2. She brings immediate burst damage and fits perfectly into the new Elation meta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your DPS lineup is already strong but your teams feel inconsistent or skill-point hungry, the reruns might offer more value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparkle improves the SP economy significantly, while Cerydra enables advanced double-skill strategies. Rappa is still solid for AoE break scenarios, though not the highest priority in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pull for what your account is missing, not what social media is hyping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plan_Around_90_to_180_Pulls\"><\/span><strong>3. Plan Around 90 to 180 Pulls<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For free-to-play and low-spending players, always assume the worst-case cost. Ninety pulls give you a 5-star, but don\u2019t guarantee the featured unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One hundred eighty pulls guarantees it, even if you lose the 50\/50 first. If you can\u2019t realistically reach at least 90 pulls, you\u2019re gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t reach 180, understand the risk before committing. Having a plan prevents regret later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Prioritize_Character_Over_Light_Cone\"><\/span><strong>4.

In the end, when Honkai Star Rail v4.0 Phase 2 goes live, Sparxie and the rerun banners won\u2019t stay forever.
