Honkai: Star Rail is a free-to-play turn-based RPG developed by miHoYo and published globally by HoYoverse. It launched on April 26, 2023 for Windows, iOS, and Android, with a PlayStation 5 version following in October 2023. [2] It adapts the Wish model from Genshin Impact nearly unchanged, which made the two games the standard reference points for "HoYoverse-style" pity math.
Pull system
Main article: Warps
Pulls are called Warps. The limited Character Event Warp publishes these numbers: [1]
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Base 5-star rate | 0.6% per warp |
| Consolidated 5-star rate (including pity) | 1.6% |
| Hard pity | 90 warps, 5-star guaranteed |
| Cost per warp | 160 Stellar Jade (1 Star Rail Special Pass) |
Community statistics document a soft pity ramp starting near warp 74; HoYoverse does not publish soft pity values. Pity and the featured guarantee carry over between banners of the same type, including into reruns. [1]
The featured guarantee is a plain 50/50: half of non-guaranteed 5-star results are the featured character, and a loss makes the next 5-star guaranteed, for a worst case of 180 warps. As of July 2026 the game has not adopted a Capturing Radiance style modifier, so its featured odds are slightly worse than Genshin Impact's on paper.
Light cone banner
Light cones (equippable weapons) use the Light Cone Event Warp: 0.8% base rate, 1.87% consolidated, hard pity at 80, and a 75% chance that a 5-star is the featured light cone, with a guarantee after a loss. The worst case for a featured light cone is 160 warps. [1]
Collaboration banners
Version 3.4 (July 2025) introduced the game's first external collaboration, with Fate/stay night. Collaboration warps form a separate banner category: their pity pool is shared only among collaboration banners and does not transfer to regular limited or standard warps, and the collaboration characters do not enter the standard pool afterward. [3] See collaboration event for the general pattern.
Duplicates
Duplicate 5-star characters convert into Eidolons, the game's dupe system: up to six duplicates each unlock an upgrade for the character. The structure mirrors Genshin Impact's Constellations.
Service status
Main article: Release history
The game remains in active service on PC, mobile, and PS5 as of July 2026, on a roughly six-week version cadence. No changes to its base rates, pity counts, or guarantee structure have been made since launch.
