what is pity in genshin impact

In Genshin Impact, the pity system is a feature that guarantees players a valuable item or character after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts. The pity system essentially ensures that players receive certain ranks of characters after wishing a certain number of times. The pity count carries over to the next banner, but only if youre rolling on the same banner. There are two variations of the pity system available to players: soft pity and hard pity. Soft pity is triggered when players make a certain number of wishes without obtaining a 5-star character or weapon, typically between 75 and 90 wishes. Once the soft pity threshold is reached, it visibly increases the chances of obtaining 5-star items, making it likely for players to receive their desired character or weapon finally. Hard pity guarantees a 5-star item after a certain number of pulls, which varies depending on the banner.
