Guarantor in Honkai Star Rail: how the software works, 50/50 and 100%

Guarantor in Honkai: StarRail — an in-game system that allows you to find out how many twists are left before getting a 5⭐️ character or a legendary light cone instead of heroes and weapons of epic rarity. Whether it's Star Jump (standard banner) or Event Jump (event banner with temporary characters and light cones) - the key advantage of the gacha system is the availability of guaranteed spins, which have their own characteristics depending on the banners.

In this guide, we will explain how the guarantor works in Honkai: Star Rail. Let's analyze the features of each Jump and explain how to find out how many twists are left before the guaranteed receipt of a legendary character or a light cone.

How the guarantor works in Honkai: Star Rail

The gacha system in Honkai: Star Rail has its own rules that allow Pathfinders to calculate in advance when to expect a 4-5⭐️ reward for Star es or Special Star es.

The number of "jumps" for a guaranteed drop:

• 4⭐️ light cone - 10 spins;
• 4⭐️ character - 10 spins;
• 5⭐️ light cone - 80 spins;
• 5⭐️ character - 90 spins.

For example: if after the ninth "jump" the system did not issue a hero (or weapon) of epic rarity, it means that on the 10th spin you can expect a guaranteed 4⭐️ drop. The same rules apply to objects of the legendary type.

What twist is the guarantor for characters and weapons

According to the information provided in the Jumping section of Honkai: Star Rail, a guaranteed 5⭐️ light cone drop occurs on 80 "jump", and 5⭐️ character - on 90. Therefore, on spins 80 and 90 (8 and 9 packs of 10 “jumps”), the Pathfinder will receive a weapon or a hero of the legendary type, if one has not fallen out earlier.

Character Drop Chance

According to the rule discussed above, the legendary character in the Star Jump and Event Jump banners: Character can be obtained on 90 twist. However, by analogies with Genshin Impact, there are exceptions.

A legendary character can be obtained even on the first spins with a 0,600% chance. It is a mistake to think that with each perfect “jump” the fixed percentage increases. Up to 74 twists starting value remains unchanged, and only from 75 "jumps" it increases up to 20% (+/-). The named chance remains unchanged until the 89th .

For objects of epic rarity, soft pity is 9 “jump”, and hard pity is 10.

• If on spin 10, instead of a 4⭐️ hero or light cone, a legendary object drops out, then a 4⭐️ object should be expected in next turn. The reason is that the legendary replaces an item of lesser rarity.
• If on the 10th spin instead of a 4⭐️ event hero a standard 4⭐️ hero drops out, then on the next 10th jump you should expect an event character.

Light cone drop chance

In the case of the Event Jump: Light Cone, the stated guaranteed receipt of the legendary weapon falls on 80 twist. Soft pity, in turn, is a gap from 65 to 79 "jump".

How to calculate how many spins to the guarantor in Honkai: Star Rail

In order to find out how many twists to the guarantor in Honkai: Star Rail, just open the history of "jumps" and count how many twists were made:

• if you have not rotated the banner before, then count from the first spent ;
• if a legendary character has already fallen before, then you start counting from him.

Why know the banner guarantor

By spending available spins on Star Jump or Event Jump, the player will in any case be sure that sooner or later he will receive a legendary hero or a light cone. However, correct calculations can protect the Pathfinder from waste of available resources on third-party banners, which is especially important if a new 5⭐️ character is expected to be released in the next update or a rerun of another legendary hero that you want to see in your collection.

What is the transfer of a guarantor

Each banner in Honkai: Star Rail (Star Leap, Event Leap: Light Cone, and Event Leap: Character) has its own guarantor counter, which resets every time an item of legendary rarity is given out by the system.

If the current Event Jump ends, its counter carried over to the next event banner. As an example, consider the following situation.

Let's say the player spends 72 Special Star es on "Event Jump: Butterfly on the Edge" (banner Jing Yuan) and thus get the long-awaited 5⭐️ hero:

• in case of winning 50/50, the general of the Xianzhou Alliance will drop out;
• in case of a 50/50 loss, one of the standard legendary heroes will drop out, and a 100% guarantee for the event character drop will remain behind the event banner.

What is a soft guarantee in Honkai: Star Rail

Soft pity is an increased chance of dropping a 5⭐️ character or light cone. For Event Jump: Character it is at 75-89 "jump", for Event Jump: Light Cone it is at 65-79.

How the 50/50 guarantee works in Honkai: Star Rail

The 50/50 Guarantor applies exclusively to the Event Jump: Character event banner. Its essence is as follows: as soon as the player sees the coveted golden glow, only 50% chance he will get 5⭐️ the hero depicted on the main picture of the event banner.

Consider, for example, a situation in which a player has not yet knocked out a single leg and started spinning banners for the first time:

Step 1. In the interval from 1 to 90 "jump", a legendary character can drop out. At this stage, there is a 50% chance that the dropped character will be an event character and a 50% chance that it will be a standard one. Here's how lucky.

Looking at the results, there are two options:

Step 2.1. If bad luck and a standard character fell out, then this is considered losing 50/50. Now the player will have 100% guarantee to drop an event 5⭐️ character in "Event Jump: Character".

Step 2.2. If lucky and an event character fell out, then it is considered winning 50/50. Now guaranteed to drop on the leg again 50% and so on until you get the standard 5⭐️ character from Event Jump: Character.

How the light cone guarantee works in Honkai: Star Rail

The "Event Jump: Light Cone" banner guarantor is drastically different from weapon banner in Genshin Impact, which requires 2 fate points to be guaranteed to receive event weapons. Things are different in Honkai: Star Rail: the initial drop rate of the event light cone is 75%. In case of loss, the chance converted to 100%.

Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]

The following are answers to questions, which may arise if you first come across games where there is a gacha system.

1. If I made 50 "jumps" in the event banner with one character, but did not manage to knock it out, then in the next temporary banner I am guaranteed to get a legendary character after 40 spins?

Yes, the character's 5☆ guarantor is carried over between Event Jumps.

2. On the 80th "jump" of the event banner, I got a legendary character of the standard type. Does this mean that after 10 spins I will get 5☆ on the hero shown on the temporary banner?

No. After receiving the legendary character, the counter is reset to zero.

3. If I knocked out Himeko in the Star Jump banner, does that count as a 100% guarantee for the Event Jump: Character banner?

No. Star Jump and Event Jump: Character coexist separately from each other.

4. Is there a time limit for the guarantor?

There are no time limits. The only negative: the history of "jumps" is reset every 6 months. In the event of a long absence from the game, it will be more difficult for you to calculate how many twists are left before the guaranteed receipt of a legendary character or a light cone.

5. If I got an event 50☆ character with a 50/5 guarantee, does this mean that the next legendary hero will also be an event character?

No. After the event 5☆ character drops out, the guarantor 50 to 50 begins to operate.
