What is pity in a gacha system?

Pity is a counter of how many pulls you have made without a top-rarity drop. Soft pity sharply raises your odds as the count climbs, and hard pity guarantees a drop once you reach a set number — usually 90 pulls in Genshin-style systems.

How does soft pity change the odds?

Below the soft-pity threshold your per-pull rate is a flat base, around 0.6%. From roughly pull 75 onward the rate ramps up several percent per pull, so most 5-stars land between pull 75 and the hard-pity cap of 90.

Does this guarantee my next pull?

Only if your pity has reached the hard-pity threshold. Before that, the tool gives a probability, not a certainty. It shows exactly how many pulls remain until the drop becomes guaranteed.

Can I use this for any gacha game?

The model uses common Genshin-style values: 0.6% base, soft pity at 75, hard pity at 90. Games with different thresholds will differ slightly, but the structure of base rate plus soft and hard pity is shared across most modern gacha systems.

What does expected pull number mean?

It is the average pull on which your 5-star is likely to appear given your current pity, weighted by the per-pull probabilities. It helps you judge whether to keep saving or commit to a 10-pull now.

Gacha systems hide their real odds behind a pity counter, so it is hard to know whether to keep pulling or save. This calculator uses the actual soft-pity and hard-pity thresholds to tell you the genuine chance of a 5-star within your next batch of pulls.

How it works

The per-pull rate depends on your pity count. Below the soft-pity threshold it is a flat base rate; from the soft-pity point it ramps up each pull until the hard-pity guarantee:

if pull <= 74:        rate = 0.6%
if 75 <= pull < 90:   rate = 0.6% + (pull - 74) × 6%
if pull >= 90:        rate = 100% (guaranteed)

The chance of at least one success across your next N pulls is one minus the product of all the per-pull miss probabilities:

P(at least one) = 1 − Π (1 − rate at each pull)

Example and notes

Starting at a pity of 60 and planning 10 pulls, you are still below soft pity, so your cumulative odds are modest — a few percent. Push your starting pity to 74 and the same 10 pulls almost guarantee a 5-star, because every pull after 74 sits on the steep soft-pity ramp. Use the expected-pull figure to decide whether to top up your pulls or wait for a banner you care more about.
