Honkai Star Rail Banner Schedule: Ultimate Pull Priority and Jade Guide
By Robert Thorne
Q: Does pity carry over between different character banner phases?
Yes. The pity system counter and the 50/50 guarantee state carry over indefinitely from one character event warp to the next. If you accumulate 60 pulls on a banner in Phase 1 and stop, you start Phase 2 at pull 60. This applies seamlessly across patch transitions as well.
Q: Is it ever worthwhile to pull on the Brilliant Fixation light cone banner as a free-to-play player?
Only when an account already commands two fully assembled, high-performing teams. While light cones offer noticeable raw stat escalations, acquiring an entirely new character provides wider combat versatility. Exceptions exist only when a character’s kit is mechanically handcuffed without their signature weapon, though modern four-star and Herta shop light cones usually offer functional alternatives.
Q: What happens if I pull an off-banner 5-star character?
You lose the 50/50 roll, which triggers the guarantee mechanic. Your pity counter resets to zero, but your very next five-star character on any limited character event warp is guaranteed to be the featured promotional unit. This status never expires until it is consumed.
