Hi! I'm a pretty new player who is looking to stay completely F2P, so I'm trying to best plan how to use my primogems. I've heard a lot about the pity systems, but figured it would be best if I made a post that would allow me to ask all my questions directly.
To begin with, I think I've got the limited character banner pity system down, but please correct me if I have any of this wrong:
- Major pity kicks in at 75 pulls. (I've heard you should start single pulls at this point, is that actually helpful?)
- At 90 pulls, you are guaranteed a 5 star character. It has a 50% chance of being the featured banner character, and a 50% chance of not.
- If you "lose" this 50/50, the system "resets" but on your next 90th pull you are guaranteed the featured character, meaning at the end of the day with bad luck, it takes 180 pulls to guarantee the character you want.
My main questions are:
- I've heard limited character banner pity carries over between banners. Is this true, and if so, is there a way I can see how many pulls/how much pity I have built up?
- How does pity work for weapon banners? I know there's an "epitomized path" where you can select which of the two featured weapons you want, but I'm a little lost on the details. Is it similar to character banners? How many pulls does it take to guarantee the weapon you want?
- How does the standard banner pity work? Does it matter much on standard banners? And if I want to build out the constellations for 4 star characters that don't get featured (like Kaeya or Lisa), is there a practical way to do that or is it just a miserable game of random pulls with no real way to guarantee anything?
Thank you in advance for any help. If you're also a new player, feel free to comment any questions you think I missed!
