Gacha Banner Pity Counter
Track pull progress and estimate pity thresholds for gacha banners
Banner Details
How to Use This Tool
Select your gameโs banner type from the dropdown to auto-fill standard pity thresholds, or choose Custom Banner to input values for less common gacha games.
Enter your current pull count since your last 5โ and 4โ drops in the respective input fields. These numbers are usually tracked in-game via your pull history.
Click Calculate Pity to view your progress, remaining pulls for guaranteed rewards, and soft pity status. Use the Reset button to clear all inputs and start over.
You can copy your full pity breakdown to clipboard with one click to share with friends or stream viewers.
Formula and Logic
This tool uses standard gacha pity mechanics common across most modern gacha games:
- Hard Pity: Guaranteed 5โ drop after X total pulls since the last 5โ . Calculated as Hard Pity Threshold minus Current 5โ Pity Count.
- Soft Pity: Increased 5โ drop rate starts at Y pulls. Calculated as Soft Pity Start minus Current 5โ Pity Count (shows "Already in soft pity" if current count exceeds soft pity start).
- 4โ Pity: Guaranteed 4โ drop after Z pulls since the last 4โ . Calculated as 4โ Threshold minus Current 4โ Pity Count.
- Progress Bar: Visual representation of current 5โ pity progress, calculated as (Current 5โ Pity / Hard Pity Threshold) * 100.
Custom banner values let you adjust thresholds for games with non-standard pity systems, including older gacha titles or limited-time experimental banners.
Practical Notes
Gacha pity values are often patch-dependent: game developers may adjust hard/soft pity thresholds, 4โ rates, or add new banner types in updates. Always check the latest in-game patch notes for current values.
Soft pity drop rate increases are not linear: most games only boost 5โ rates by 5-10% per pull after soft pity starts, not to 100%. This tool tracks when soft pity begins, not exact drop probabilities.
RNG still applies even at hard pity: while hard pity guarantees a 5โ , it does not guarantee the limited rate-up character/weapon. Most games have a 50/50 system for rate-ups, which is not tracked by this tool.
Some games reset 4โ pity separately from 5โ pity, while others share a combined counter. Check your gameโs specific rules to ensure accurate 4โ tracking.
Meta variations exist between regions: some gacha games have different pity thresholds for CN, JP, or Global servers. Use the Custom Banner option to match your regionโs values.
Why This Tool Is Useful
Gacha pulls often cost premium currency purchased with real money, so tracking pity helps you avoid overspending on limited-time banners.
Streamers and content creators can use this tool to show viewers their pull progress in real time, adding transparency to gacha pulls.
Game designers can use this tool to prototype pity systems for their own projects, testing how different threshold values affect player spending and retention.
Competitive players can plan resource spending around banner cycles, ensuring they have enough pulls saved for meta-defining limited characters or weapons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my current pity count is higher than the hard pity threshold?
This means you should have already received a guaranteed 5โ drop. Check your in-game pull history to confirm you counted correctly, or that the game hasnโt applied a pity reset (some games reset pity when a banner ends).
Does this tool track 50/50 loss progress for rate-up characters?
No, this tool only tracks pull-based pity thresholds, not rate-up guarantee systems. If you lose a 50/50, your next 5โ is usually guaranteed to be the rate-up, but this varies by game and is not included in standard pity counts.
Can I use this for gacha games not listed in the banner dropdown?
Yes, select Custom Banner and input the hard pity, soft pity, and 4โ threshold values from your gameโs official documentation. Most gacha games publish pity rules in their patch notes or help menus.
Additional Guidance
Always cross-reference your in-game pull history with this toolโs counts to avoid input errors. Small miscounts can lead to incorrect remaining pull estimates.
If a banner is ending soon, prioritize calculating your remaining pulls for hard pity to decide if you have enough currency to reach a guaranteed 5โ before the banner expires.
For games with weapon banners, note that some use a "Epitomized Path" system to guarantee a specific weapon after 2 lost 5โ pulls. This is separate from standard pity and not tracked by this tool.
Save premium currency for limited banners rather than standard banners, as standard banners rarely rotate characters and have lower value for competitive players.
