Honkai: Star Rail warp banners explained

However, the pool of entities in the regular warp banner can change, as Hoyoverse has added characters to regular banners in their other titles such as Tighnari and Dehya being added to the standard banner in Genshin Impact.

After 300 warps on the regular warp banner, you can pick one of the five-star characters from the Stellar Warp. However, pick wisely, as you can only do this once!

Light Cone warp banners are also limited event banners with higher warp success rates for limited five-star and four-star Light Cones rather than characters. The Light Cone warp banners function similarly to the other banners except for the gacha rates and pity count. The gacha rates and pity count are as follows:

If you don’t receive the promotional Light Cone, you’re guaranteed to receive one within the next 80 pulls.

It’s believed that Honkai: Star Rail has a soft pity system — a hidden mechanic that increases your probability of getting a five-star with every warp after a certain number of pulls — similar to Genshin Impact. According to Reddit users, the soft pity will start on your 75th pull on character warp banners and your 65th pull on Light Cone warp banners. The soft pity system increases the odds of receiving a five-star character or Light Cone by 6% with each pull after said pulls.
