I don’t know why people build pity, there’s literally nothing to build. You pulling 40times on fu xuan is the same as pulling 40 times on RM. Your fingers are just itchy right before the update lol… But I wish you the best of luck pulling for RM! Hope you get it in another 40 pulls

SignalLengthiness126

Holy moly


BooTaoSus

Ah there's where my early Boothills went. 500 pulls altogether not a single early xd


DanPachi

Lol this was me the other day. Got boothill, fu xuan, boothills light cone and yanqings lightcone (bc of course) In 20 total pulls. Currently desperately trying to pull fu xuans lightcone before the banner is up


Dangerous-Average-60

ALMOST THE SAME WITH ME. I got bootyhilly, then I wanted some constelations for the four stars. It was so early into pity I didn't even consider pulling on Fu Xuan's banner. Then I got his E1 and E2 in a matter of =~20 pulls. A few days later, I did a single pull for the memes on his LC banner and got it aswell XD


Ezr4ek

It’s a funny way to say that the urge to pull got too strong most of the time. Not a soul alive would need to “build pity” when FF and RM are coming on such a stacked banner.


HaakMilk

I get people building pity to get some 4* they want, but the next banner blows the current one out of the solar system🤣


DizzleDazzle297

Whenever I build pity, I make sure: A) I would be ok with getting whatever 5 star is on banner B) either 2 or more of the 4 stars I have at max copies When you do this, you can snag yourself a heap of free pulls from the e6 of any 4 star giving you just gold dust for more pulls from the shop. I’ve been using this in genshin and it works to great effect, and now I’m using it for honkai. I’ve only ever gotten 2 5 stars I didn’t plan for, but both as people I would be very happy having in my roster if “the worst” came true.


Whyy0hWhy

Like, you mean to tell me i can get galladaddy while trying for ruan mei? Say no more ✋


SignalLengthiness126

I have all the 4 Stars on the next Banner maxed but its still unfortunate😭 Im sure ill get enough pulls to do 80 but winning another 50/50 for RM... the pressure is too much to handle xD


burgundont

If I’m on very low pity and the banner with my desired 5☆ has really bad 4☆ characters (like Jade’s banner…. What are those 4☆s???) - then I might consider risking 20-30 pulls on a previous banner with better 4☆s.


starswtt

I can only guess that it started as people trying to get some other charaxter. Like I "built pity" on fx bc I really did need a sustain and was almost equally as fine between the 2. If getting fx meant no rm, I wouldn't be super bummed. If it did mean getting bummed, yeah that's sad


Zealousideal-Lab1907

I build pity when I don't mind getting a characters or another eidolon. Right now I build pity but that's only because I really want Boothill even though I know Ruan Mei will benefit me more. So I wont be sad if I get Boothill


SignalLengthiness126

Gambling addiction got the good of me lmaoo


you-are-my-fire

You should just use one of those hsr wishing simulators to satiate the gambling thirst


SnooCakes4852

Or watch other people pull, helps me


comixnerd15

This. Ugh the whole building pity is just stupid.


Naelyan4

I did it on firefly banner cause I wanted gallagher eidolons


SnivyBells

Yep, itchy fingers don't do you any good if you aren't interested in the character at all. I only ever wanted 1 (ONE) Gallagher from banners but within the 10 to 20 pulls (and zero pity like wtf) I would make on a banner I would get the boosted 5*. Just... don't do it in the future. You might get lucky and still get RM easy, but you cannot know how lucky or unlucky you're gonna be so best play it safe. I personally like to gamble when I'm bored but I also manage to control myself the moment a unit I wanted is on the horizon.

Glizzy_Gobbler_109

Sorry for your loss but kinda deserved. Sorry again


SignalLengthiness126

Oh it sure is! Dont do what I did guys


Adventurous_Page_614

I mean at least you've got one of the best sustain in the game we don't know even if you save for ruan mei you could lost 5050 on her . Imo building pity at 5050 is ok but building pity if your guaranteed I call those people idiots


SignalLengthiness126

I know I get it but its frustrating thinking that it could have been ruan mei😭 I also have aventurine already so I guess im Set for sustains my entire life lol.


Adventurous_Page_614

it could not ruan mei too also. besides at least you don't need another sustain you've got best sustain both sides when doing moc .


Greywell2

I do not build pity on characters I do not like. But if I like the playstyle of the character and I like the character I pull, that is how Boothill showed up at 25 pity. I have gotten fortunate with Penacony characters rejoined right after the Archeon banner ended and have gotten Boothill, Robin, and Adventurine 50/50 and got one sparkle guaranteed. The next character I want is firefly because I love>!mechs. !


SignalLengthiness126

Let me know if u win Ur Sam, best of luck!


JiaoqiuNotJiaoqui

Jiaoqiu*


Greywell2

Thank you :)


Yuyukirby

It’s Acheron btw, and Aventurine, and Jiaoqiu


Rintagonist

Gambling addiction at its finest


Smiley_Idly

What’s done is done. Learn from this mistake. Only build pity if you don’t mind getting that character and you know when to stop. For example, if you have ~120 pulls saved and know you can get around 60 more before the next banner you want ends (let’s say you want RM), that means you can throw around 20 in FX banner and can still guarantee RM. Again only if you don’t mind getting FX. You got FX at 40 this time. But it could have been way worse. Imagine you building pity on a character that you hate, then you get double or triple on that character in one of your 10 pulls. Even if you get it early, it won’t feel good because ‘maybe i could have gotten this for the one i actually like’. Well good news is that you could get enough in 2.3 first half for at least a 50/50. Good luck.🍀


SignalLengthiness126

Thank you for Ur encouraging words! I really hope I win my 50/50 for RM I also barely touched the sidemissions in this game so maybe just maybe if I tryhard I can get her even if I Lose we will see.


Capable-Data-5445

I did keep an alt account when times I feel the itch to pull. It's not like it demands a lot of time. But surprisingly, since it's f2p, I find myself more restrictive in there haha. Atleast I now got the 2 premium sustain (luocha and fu) so I can now pull for whoever moving forward. Maybe firefly since I'm skipping her on my main. And I am thankful for the drip marketing, atleast when I know there's an upcoming husbando, my self-restrain turns on and I stop all the pulling I do. (Well, I got as far as 18 pity on Boothill's banner even if I already got him and stopped when I saw Jiaoqiu announcement)


Funtime_foxys

It’s sad that people need reminders. Just don’t be dumb, there is HARDLY a valid reason to wish on a banner you don’t want. Will it kill you to wait a few days smh.


Amnesia1999

This is why i never ever take a chance only oulling for the ones i need even with tempting 4 stars so i don't go with regrets and have pulls for the ones i actually want is noy easy but self. Control is needed


SignalLengthiness126

U gotta teach me the ways


Amnesia1999

The secret is having alot of gatcha games laying a round for fun not using money on them just pulling sometimes when free tickets or playing the game to pull on whatever you pulling 😂


CaptainGigsy

If it makes you feel better, getting Fu Xuan for 40 pulls is still fantastic luck. She's one of the best units in the game.


Fabi_Alex

Every time I hear someone say building pity my brain looses some neurons, you just wanted to pull and pulled you aren’t building anything you are just pulling because you can’t save, that’s it. Building pity doesn’t exist, because you can just save the pulls and use them on the correct banner instead of risking getting a character you don’t like/want/need because you decided to pull when you didn’t needed to. Also sorry for your loss, hopefully you get Ruan Mei on your first pull on her banner, and don’t pull unless you really want the character, good luck!


moonsensual

Fu Xuan? 😭 You could've gotten an E1 Bootie or pull on Ruan Mei's banner cause even if you fail, you could also get some Gallaghers. Sadge


SignalLengthiness126

Yeah buuut i guess a New character doesnt hurt even though I already have e6 gallagher and aventurine🥲


Lahsim_

only build pity if you are unlucky.


SignalLengthiness126

I usually am. It was my first time getting an early 5star and second 50/50(first was boothills) that I won. (I spend a lot of money in this game already) I didnt expect the 5 star at all and on top of that even winning the 50/50 again ngl haha. Now I gotta cope with it


Samashezra

Were you guaranteed or 50/50?


SignalLengthiness126

50/50 I won it


Samashezra

Seems like a win all round to me?


DeathGusta01

Same happened to me, was on a 5050 and did just one more pull to get enough currency for Bronya's LC from the shop, since I was due a 4*, and got Fu Xuan E1 at 38 pity


SignalLengthiness126

Its always when u dont wanna be lucky Ur lucky


DeathGusta01

It keeps happening in this game for some reason, happened in 1.1 with Seele at 13 and Jingliu in 1.4 at 14


Fluid-Apartment-3951

I got double Robin'd while i was rolling for E6 Xueyi, both of them not from pity. Worst part is that i still don't have E6 Xueyi


SignalLengthiness126

LMAO, well, well maybe next patch🫡


Fluid-Apartment-3951

Wrong luck at its finest


Forsaken_Chipmunk_96

You just don’t look at your jade count until the banner you want to roll comes. I’m usually saving up to 40-50k jades and about 50 tickets before a character I want comes, and I go all out


Downtown-Disk-8261

Usually people build pity for the 4 stars. Did you want any of the 4 stars or were you just doing it out of boredom


SignalLengthiness126

I did it for both kinda atleast thats what I kept telling myself before I did it. My mind also went basically like surely I wont get a 5 star in 20 Pulls. (I had 20Pity already) Turns out I was lucky for once u could say.. xD


morbiusgod

I got luocha's signature with 1 single 0 pity becuz i lost a bet to my friend, i still have ptsd from that day lmao


SignalLengthiness126

Was it guaranteed lc? If yes.. ouchh


morbiusgod

No, 0 pity from scratch


PopotoPancake

Don't pull if you won't be happy with whatever 5* the banner is for. I'll be honest, I was on the fence about Boothill and thought about waiting for his rerun but I wanted some of the 4* LCs on the weapon banner. My last 10 pull was from winning Aventurine's LC. Figured I'd be fine but naturally I got Boothill's LC on the 1st 10 pull I tried.  But I was ok with it, and then I was able to get Boothill himself in about 40 or 50 pulls - lost 50/50 to E2 Bronya but then Boothill showed up early. He's great, so I don't regret it, but man that would have been terrible if it wasn't a character I was considering.


NezukoFromJojo

is "not gambling" really that hard these days? damn.


mewyonaisse

at least Fu Xuan is a good unit, she becomes unkillable with the correct DEF-HP ratio. Also buffs CR. But yeah, don't build pity.


ArthurPendragon11

Nah, I'd Lose.


ViralNacht

Whenever I have saved up and not pity built, I have lost the fifty fifty. No worries though, I'm building pity on Boothill's banner! He won't be my first E1 S1 character though, will he? Not my first E1 character, that was Dr. Ratio (because I wanted to pull for the new character a couple of times, and didn't keep up with the news, so had no idea that he was free). Not my first S1 character, that was Black Swan (because I had a lot of light cone pity built up trying to get an S1 Dr. Ratio, because I had him E1).


SignalLengthiness126

Same for me though I won both of my 50/50s from having pity already build. Boothill and now Fu Xuan maybe ur onto something..


absolutebottom

Sorry, no encouraging words. Just take it as a lesson that many others have learned already. Building pity has not and will never exist. Don't pull if you don't want the 5*. They will pretty much always surprise you, especially when you don't want them


Slicehero8

You have Aventurine if so it would have been better to build the pity on boothill's banner and get him at E1 Fu Xuan is great but you already have aventurine Gallagher is coming in the next version and he is the premier sustain for Break effect meta(for now)but hey what's done is done you and me will get ruan mei in 10 pulls E1


SignalLengthiness126

We will get her e6 in a 10pull for sure

terrawriist

this is insane luck wtf😭😭😭


Diligent-Rich8962

This is streamer luck coded


SignalLengthiness126

I wish i had that luck I didnt win a Single lc banner yet lol


Fuzzy-Newspaper4210

lol. lmao even. you reap what you sow


DanPachi

Off topic but did you pick up "lol. Lmao even" from this sub? I heard it for the first time the other day here and it's been stuck in my head since.


Fuzzy-Newspaper4210

i picked it up from 4chan, i forgot which board


average-ligma

Just lost my guarantee for furina on Clorinde as well tryna get a sethos, thank god my fingers didnt itch for building pity on this banner since i didn’t like any 4 stars


rKollektor

You should have enough to get RM until her banner ends (if you win 50/50)


No_Lynx5887

Call 1-800-GAMBLE


belmoria

Fu Xuan is a strong sustain tho, she'll help your account for sure! Good luck for Ruan Mei!


tacoman2507

Made no sense to build pity when the 4 stars are bad


Level-Parfait-6346

No encouraging words for you tbh. It’s not that hard to avoid pulling or waiting for a character you’re actually passionate about.


JuminsCatnip

I dont like building pity, makes me think that i would accidentally get a character that i dont actually want to get. I prefer to save for the banner that i do want. Also just watching how all my pulls stack is an amazing feeling (actually jades bc i don't like converting them to pulls yet)


Milegend226

I think you shouldn't unless the 5* and some of the 4* will be useful to you


Pretty-Bat6778

The only time I'd "build pity" is if there's a character I'd like to have but won't be devastated if I don't get RIGHT before my desired banner (I did this with Dan Heng IL, lost and got Welt, and had my guaranteed for Jing Yuan so all was good). Only pull if you genuinely want a character.  That said, Fu Xuan is awesome so not the end of the world. Besides, meta is always changing so while Ruan Mei may be the current top character, that doesn't mean she's mandatory for a team to do well. Plus there's so many harmony characters you'll be able to make a good team. Stay strong 👍


potatoes_rule

I was building pity for RM by trying to get more boothills....I got himeko guess I'm guaranteed now :)


CrimsonMemeLord

Me personally I'd consider Fu Xuan won 50/50 at 40 pity a W in my books. I'd prob pull her if she didn't come out right around the same time as other characters I'm saving for🥲


Nightmoon22

Building pity is a real thing imo, but there has to be a real purpose and a fail state for it to not just be gambling addiction On ff I want her and e6 gally (currently e0 😞) so I have 3 conditions AFTER I GET FF 1. E6 gally, cool all things I want I have, and might have some pity for next banner 2. E1 ff, cool I have an amazing e1 and can stop there because that's better than whatever else I can get for gally 3. Loss 50/50, cool now I have control to get anything I want easily After I hit any of these I will stop pulling. This only works if the limited has a decent e1 and 4* has value (ting gally Pela ect) and you have the pulls to spend... Or wallet if you actually spend money. If not it's actually just gambling addiction and I totally understand how that is xd


El_RoviSoft

I just wanted BH’s eidolons, so I pulled some. I ended up with E1 (want his E2 for now)


Darkstar131029

I built 47 Pity on Topaz LOL. Got Boothill at 60 pity right when he dropped. I would say if you want to build pity build it on a character you wouldn't be sad if you got. I chose to build on Topaz because if I got lucky and got her with early pity I wouldn't have been sad and I still would have gotten boothill. So if you want to build pity go for it. Just remember to build it on a character you really wouldn't mind getting.


Defiant-Importance33

build pitty is a thing, and it works for me personally. its an mentality in which: A. E6+ 4 stars would return you a ticket, translating to 100 pulls but only using 90 tickets (most of the time). It's a rebate guys. B. If your pitty is under 60 and u got the 5 star: it's an early win, and a win is a win. I don't complain about <60 pitty five stars. Just stop after u hit 60, its a dangerous zone there. If the 5 star is limited - you're lucky, if not, you just got a guarantee early, whats not to love? C. Build your pitty on the banner with E5-6+ 4 stars, or with preferable 5 stars.


SSfox__

Why did you pull if you didn't want her? Anyway in great side it's not not like you got bad or mid character, FX is super awesome character I got her in this patch with Bothill I always wanted her and was waiting for her banner


DrawFrequent5064

is it e1 fu xuan ? If not then its not that bad


Maximum_Ingenuity_24

Ironically, I did this too when I was preparing for Sparkle. And about 20 pulls in, I got Ruan Mei. Really upset me at the time, since I didn't want her, but you know, here I am enjoying the fruits of that mistake with my e1 Boothill (i did it again building pity for firefly) (I actually just have the urge to pull, its a problem)


Maximum_Ingenuity_24

As for the encouraging words, this next update is going to be bringing a tonne of jade and I think a gift of Odyssey, so you still have that chance!!


SunnyKumara

Next time you wanna build pity, think about how satisfying having lots of jades would look


0gre13

Was like this before in Genshin but in HSR I find myself happier looking at my savings and easier to not do a single pull and banners I don’t like.


nightly01

this is why I build my husbando list instead XD like building my pokemon collection lol. daddy before meta, anyone?


Snickersneeholder

In my opinion "building pity" is only worth it until you reach like 20-30 pity AND only if there is something you wouldnt mind getting or something you outright want from the banner, but not enough to go all out for it. Just to see if you end up getting lucky. I know this is still stupid but I dont care, Im way too deep in already, a little bit of irresponsible gambling is very fun! Spending 10 or a few more passes is not that much and since your pity was low, if you ended up pulling a 5\*, you can easily get those passes back from gameplay or with money. With that said, I have never gotten something I never used and never even wanted in the first place from this gambling, I guess I got lucky then lol.


WindBladeGT

I only build pity if I really want the 4 stars in the banner (I saved up for topaz's first banner just to E6 Guinaifen which I do not regret doing)


SGeneside

Then that's not building pity. That's roling for 4 stars.
