What to Actually Expect When Wishing - Genshin Impact Wish & Soft Pity System Explained

gentian impact doesn't tell you everything about their gotcha system not even in this essay of a description in their wishing details so this video will reveal and break down every key statistic so that you will have all the knowledge to become an expert in Saving and planning out your Prima gems to get all the characters you want but before I can tell you about the hidden mechanics we have to go over some essential aspects of the gotcha system that every player should know about Essential Knowledge if you've been a part of the gentian community you know the term 50 50 quite well this refers to the odds of getting something featured on a character Banner which applies to both 4 stars and 5 stars getting an off rate up means the next drop is guaranteed to be something featured and this guarantee does not disappear between banners due to this mechanic two-thirds of all four stars on event character Banners are featured on average and technically this applies to 5 stars too but the 2 and 3 5 stars is only really relevant if you're going for constellations if you are aiming for a specific 4 star you can expect only 2 and 9 or 22 percent to be the one that you want if you want two out of the three the odds go up to four and nine but that's still less than 50 percent and because of this they can be deceptively costly let's clarify what pity is gentian impact guarantees one five star every 90 wishes since the last five star pulled this guaranteed five star is what people refer to as a Pity Five Star as it acts like a safety net to save The Unlucky players who failed to hit the 0.6 percent or 1 in 167 chance of a 5 Star I will be using the term pity to refer to the number of wishes spent since the last five star or four star pity for 5 stars and 4 stars are separate soft pity explained 0.6 percent is the odds to get a 5 star on any given wish except this isn't true nor is it exactly 1.6 as the genshin details may suggest in reality the odds of getting a 5 Star change the closer you are to 90 wishes here is a graph that depicts the odds of a five star on any given poll from pity 1 to 73 the odds remain at a constant 0.6 percent per wish on 74 pity the odds are increased to 6.6 percent following this the odds climbed to 12.6 percent then 18.6 and so on until by the 90th wish the odds have exceeded 100 percent the cool thing about this pity system is that it can be applied to every type of drop in the game the odds increase by 10 times the Baseline odds each wish into soft pity for 4 star soft pity on the ninth wish the odds go from 5.1 percent of the Baseline to 56.1 percent on the weapon Banner the 63rd wish is where the odds begin to increase since the odds of getting a five-star weapon is slightly higher each wish into pity increases the odds by seven percent interestingly enough the result of the soft pity formula is that 100 odds are reached at which 77 on the weapon Banner not wish 80. as a quick aside this doesn't make the weapon Banner any more efficient but that discussion will be saved for a future guide now that you know how soft pity works it's time to extract useful information from it let's first take a look at expected five-star rates and then we'll get into four star calculations about 35 of the time you will receive an early five-star that is a 5 star before soft pity begins at wish 74. the remaining 65 of the time you'll get a five star within the soft pity range the mean for 5 Stars obtained within the soft fitting range is on wish 77 and technically they mean for non-soft pity five stars is 36.5 but this doesn't mean much at all since the 5 star has an equal chance of appearing anywhere within the entire range but watch this when we multiply the odds of getting a 5 star with their respective mean values and add them together the Consolidated probability estimate comes out to be 62.6 essentially matching genshin's promise Consolidated probability odds which is 1.6 or 1 in 62.5 while it is true that on average a five star will appear once every 62.5 wishes it's clear that the majority of them appear around wish 77 which is why the cumulative rate can be misleading it's very easy to deviate from this average in both ways since you reached soft pity range 65 of the time unlucky streaks of reaching soft pity over and over are very likely to happen and the player is average for 5 Stars will be worse than expected on the opposite end lies the infrequent early five-star which can easily occur far below the 62.5 average blessing a few lucky players with far above average odds at first the main idea of this is that you should not only look at the Consolidated odds when planning out your Primo gem spending if you do not use a lot of Wishes the only reliable way of getting five swords will be through soft pity so it's much better to plan for that only once you've done hundreds of wishes is where the odds of five star are truly 1 in 62.5 but if you recall back to the beginning of this video only two and three five stars will be the one you want so the true average number of wishes per five star is between 93 and 94 wishes for 4 stars it will take approximately 35 wishes on average to get a specific four-story one 17 on average per four star if you want two of them and 12 on average if you just want any rate of 4 star finally here are some probability break points for 4 and 5 Stars you may want to take note of feel free to pause the video and save screenshots in the meantime enjoy some bonus details about the wishing system when getting a four star there is a 5.1 chance of getting an off rate up four star the rest of the 28.23 off rateups goes to 4 star weapons without a guarantee the odds of getting an operative character is about 7.65 percent the interesting part about this is that the 5.1 percent matches the Baseline odds of getting a 4 star star glitter so with four star wishes typically refunding two star glitter provided the currency is all converted to wishes it means that wishes do not cost 160 premium gems each when factoring everything in the overall discount is roughly 5 meaning the true cost of a wish is closer to 152 Primo jumps this is more relevant for players who do many wishes however lowest vendors and free to play players should still consider a wish to be the full 160 because star glitter can be used to purchase other useful things like character constellations and potentially a few black Cliff weapons though those are much more situational in the next video I will be discussing the weapon Banner in more detail and explain why it's considered a scam by many players
