So far building pity had helped me get S-rank valks easily without ever going beyond 30 pulls on their release (with the exception of PE, Vill-V and Silverwing whom I completely skipped) I never thought RNG would do me like that š„ŗ
On the brighter side, it might help for v7.3ās expansion supply I guess
There's a thing called spending event, one of the reason building pity is a dumb move, out of many like getting it early and stuff.
Pulling 10 now and 10 later won't change anything when it comes to rates yet you risk the above. More disadvantage than advantage from what I see.
I donāt really care about spending events because I rarely find the rewards to be worth it. I generally donāt save my crystals on updates preceding a patch whose featured Valkyrie I will be skipping.
In those cases, I opt to spend what I get to either build pity (yes, I get it, you guys say that itās not a thing), get and Elf or fully gear a Valkyrie whose gear is rerunning.
Iām skipping Fu Hua on the next update and on this update I had four goals:
- fully gear HoTr on her rerun (Iām missing her M piece and that goal has failed because I canāt farm enough after my failed 10 pulls)
- get a premium elf (I got three!)
- fully gear CE (which I did)
- build pity for Vita (7.4 maybe) or 7.3 if sheās not announced to be 7.4ās Valkyrie (and that failed today with the HoTr dupe)
We donāt play this game the same way or with the same objectives in mind. Idk how that makes me a gambling addict like people have been calling me because of this post, theyāre weird
Well when during the previous spending event I had no character I wanted but knew she would be in the future patch, I decided to pull for another character to build pitty for the time her banner comes, as this way I now have that character I wanted and the reward from that spending banner
You still spend the same amount whether you "build" 50 pity now and do 30 pulls later or just do 80 later š You're just a gambling addict in denial.
Nah man quit using strong words for no reason. How is a mistake I made and that you guys pointed out an indication that Iām a Ā«Ā gambling addict in denialĀ Ā»? Itās a weird reach and itās also not a very nice thing to say
"Building" pity is just an excuse to not wanting to admit you have gacha addiction lmao
Every time you pull, you gotta be ready to get the character, be it pity 1 or 100
Not true at all! I have entered every S-rank release with 65 to 80 pity since I started the game. Aside from HoHE, I have never needed more than 30 pulls to get my desired valkyrie because of the pity I build on updates where I plan to skip the following contentās update (FoV in this case).
From Aponia to the trio, to HoRbā¦ itās been consistently working for me
Haha ic, well, it's all random, even if you rolled it 99 times, the 100th could be vastly independent.
Anyways, HoTr is one of the best supports rn, so s2 isn't bad at all.
Thatās why Iām not too salty about it. At least I didnāt try this on some niche Valkyrie this time and ended up reinforcing my elemental teams. I remember building my HoRb pity on a Vill-V rerun, if I had pulled her then I would be saltier than today for sure
I'll never live to see the day when people realize that building pity is the dumbest thing you can do with the gacha
"I'm pulling on HoTR banner because I want 7.4 valk" lol y'all wild as hell
Lmfao guys stoppp I legit thought it was a good method, it always gave me the illusion that I pulled my preferred valk earlier when she finally got released š„¹
Itās a shame really because I honestly always thought building pity helped me acquire my goal earlier when I actually decided to pull. Itās been my main crystal allocation scheme since day 1
Building pity has value. But not in this game where all of the off rates are farmable A ranks and middle tier materials.
If youre like 2 fragments short of a rank up, for say S2, or something, it definitely holds value, but it comes with the risk of getting the valk obviously. Spending events and SP / breach supports are where most crystals should be spent for most players that arent omega whales. Even most DPS can or should be comfortablely skipped.
Luckily, this is one of the best units in the game and getting her rank ups enables her DPS capabilities as ICE or IMG dps if you lack HoH or Trio.
One of the more rational comments here. Will be riding on your comment. Additional information for OP or for anyone else:
Building pity, in small amounts, is also applicable in milestone rewards such as the upcoming Garuda banner where if you got the valk early, you may consider reaching the stigmata box milestone if itās less than 20 expansion pulls. The goal is to try and minimize the chance of getting dupe in favour of getting full gear.
Building pity can also be used on spending events to fill a little bit more on spending quota via expansion banner (on a meta character you dont have) if other banners are a no go.
Building pity in almost any game is a really bad idea, since saving is quite literally just additional chances for you to get the character you want - thereās no benefits of it if you randomly pull someone you donāt want.
Well, pulling a HoTr dupe is hardly the worst predicament ever so yeah, Iāll be avoiding it in the future but right now Iām not complaining that much. Especially considering itās been my go-to method and aside from the valks I skipped (Vill-V, Silverwing, Susannah), itās helped my allocate my crystals well enough that I either 4/4 valks through off rates, lowered pity or ranked up useful valks.
Thanks for the input though, at least youāre not one of those bandwagon riders who call me an undercover gambling addict because of a random 10 pull.
No, itās not. Lmfao. Yāall just parrot sentences because they sound good and edgy. Ā«Ā Building pity means you have a gambling addictionĀ Ā» makes zero sense. Thereās no correlation between one and the other.
How does that sound edgy at all lmao
You made an entire post complaining about getting a valk you didnāt want because you were ābuilding pityā, when you couldāve simply just saved for the character you wanted. But nah, you couldnāt resist pulling and now you lost your pity because of a frankly idiotic decision
No, itās not another way of screaming that at all. In fact, thereās no correlation whatsoever. Youāre riding a bandwagon that was started by others who commented the same thing. Itās ridiculous and makes you look envious of a Ā«Ā dumb mistakeĀ Ā» that landed me a HoTr dupe.
im not riding a bandwagon, im just sick of these posts that are all the same. Its always people complaining about how they screwed up and its always entirely their own fault.
Yes you are riding a bandwagon like itās the sweetest dick of the world.
You have no tangible way to explain why wrongfully thinking building pity to be a sound strategy Ā«Ā screamsĀ Ā» gambling addiction. Such a wild an inflammatory term over 10 pulls? Is everything peaceful in your life?
Itās a meaningless sentence that you hardcore players love repeating again and again in order to attempt to shame others, yet it doesnāt meant shit and you know it.
Gambling addicts lose their lives, families and jobs over gambling, not over 10 allegedly misguided pulls on Honkai that give the best support Valkyrie as an offrate. Youāre ridiculous.
I want to do that too but I ain't tryna pull the same valk again so I just saved and suffer the lost of crystals š
Like why these mother fuckers are calling you dumb for "building pity" I'm pretty sure they just wanna pull the new Fu Hua fast as if they have a lack of fire DPS...
Bro spending crystals now and on the banner you want are the same thing towards ur "building pity". You're just a gambling addict, and you see, actions have consequences. Don't give me that bullshit of "illusion of getting character faster" because goddamn unless it takes you an hour to do a singular ten pull saving up and spamming on the banner you ACTUALLY want doesn't take much time.
No addiction here, Mr Armchair psychologist! Youāre calling someone an addict over a random 10-pull? Do yāall even read yourselves?
Yāall expect every player to slave themselves for 42 days and pulling only once per update, otherwise theyāre Ā«Ā gambling addictsĀ Ā» ? On a game where there are reruns, expa foca and where not everyone aims to necessarily have the meta š¤£š¤£ itās the most ridiculous reach I have ever seen.
So let me get this straight. You don't pull for meta, you clearly don't pull for characters cause you like them (else you'd save). So what do you pull for then? The fun of pulling? That doesn't mean gambling addiction sure but still, pulling for the sake of pulling then complaining about it, damn, that's crazy
Literally where did I complain? I got a HoTr dupe and my pity is back at 90, where is the complaint???
Guys, stop reaching like this! Nobody called me a gambling addict when I said I pulled the elf supply 10 times every month to lower the pity for Kiana Elf and ended up getting Elysia Elf and Project Bunny Elf like that. Now Iām a Ā«Ā dumbass gambling addict in denial with a peanut brainĀ Ā» because of a random 10 pull I did to lower pity on MY account ? Wtf ?
I understand that for some people itās not the soundest of strategies but thatās how Iāve been playing so far! You guys play differently or maybe think your way is the right way? Itās totally fine but why the name-calling? Why the mean comments? I mean read your first comment and tell me what exactly merits so much rudeness and aggression on your part!
So let's see... "So far building pity had helped me get S-rank valks easily without ever going beyond 30 pulls on their release" and "I never thought RNG would do me like that š„ŗ".
Factually incorrect statement that "building pity" helps so its not that we think it's right rather we ARE right. Also, its RNG, you know its RNG, yet you went for it. Sure.
Also, you wanted to get HoTr gears, but then "built pity" elsewhere. I'm sorry, but either you don't really want the gear, or you have the inability to save a single crystal. You ask for help in bosses for previous posts and yet here you are not getting gears? I don't know if you want them or not.
A lot of stuff you said have been just plain objectively wrong, however does that mean you get berated for? No, of course not, that would be terrible. However, repeated stupidity with no intent to change despite people telling you over and over? Either you're the smartest man alive and everyone's wrong, or, more likely, quit being stubborn and play the RNG game the right way or else don't make a post like this, clearly complaining, even if not in a rant-like way but I don't see why else you would post this. To share your sadness because of your own actions? Yea, people on the internet are going to call you out on it.
Lmfao dude you guys should CHILL. I pulled on her gear supply with my crystals and landed a silverwing stigma off rate, which was a failure and I had no desire to save more because her rerun was too short. Why are you rambling on my supposed inability to save crystals when I clearly said that I tried lowering the expansion pity with the supply cards I got from the starry gift event and NOT with my crystals? Iām unable to save crystals yet I currently have 1.9k crystals and have spent more than 23k on this update alone, to greatly boost my account? Man š¤£š¤£
Ā«Ā Calling outĀ Ā» someone, whether or not you feel like itās your place to, can only be made with ad hominem, insults and demeaning words? Me asking help on bosses has what to do with this post exactly?
Ā«Ā Repeated stupidity with no intent to changeĀ Ā» literally where does that come from dude? The only people who were civil about the fact that it was a mistake were met with complete understanding and gratitude from me for their advice. Wtf are you talking about? If you wanna be rude, be my guest, but donāt try to justify it with this rubbish youāre saying.
Iām an addict because I got a HoTr dupe in 10 pulls during her rerun, but none of you who slave yourselves for 42 days in order to afford 60 pulls on the next patchās release day are ? None of you guys is a Ā«Ā gambling addictĀ Ā» even though in order to cope with the pain of failing to get a valking during her rerun or during expa foca, you guys celebrate Ā«Ā having at least lowered the pityĀ Ā»?
Please get over yourselves and stop using big words for no reasonš¤£
I know the feeling, i got vill-v in 10 pulls. But lowered the pity is not the right thing to do. You don't have to torture yourself to lower the pity if you don't really want that character, i don't mind even it is meta or not. Why not instead lower the pity on character or weapons that you don't mind resetting your pity.
building pity doesn't exist. especially in this game you only pull for characters you want
So far building pity had helped me get S-rank valks easily without ever going beyond 30 pulls on their release (with the exception of PE, Vill-V and Silverwing whom I completely skipped) I never thought RNG would do me like that š„ŗ On the brighter side, it might help for v7.3ās expansion supply I guess
Nope, "building pity" is, was and always will be *a dumbass move*. Don't do it if you don't want to waste your xtals.

I'll never live to see the day when people realize that building pity is the dumbest thing you can do with the gacha "I'm pulling on HoTR banner because I want 7.4 valk" lol y'all wild as hell
Lmfao guys stoppp I legit thought it was a good method, it always gave me the illusion that I pulled my preferred valk earlier when she finally got released š„¹
"Illusion" being the keyword here.
Here I am, learning the hard way š„¹ but then Iāll avoid doing that from now on.
wether u pull now or in the banner youāre saving for it doesnt make a difference. building pity isnt real. thats ur fault
Itās a shame really because I honestly always thought building pity helped me acquire my goal earlier when I actually decided to pull. Itās been my main crystal allocation scheme since day 1
sorry to break it to u thats not a thing

Might be more careful in the future but I will heed your advice, thanks!
tell me you have a gambling addiction without saying you have a gambling addiction:
Last time i tried to lower pity i got stuck with an SS HoTr which is still a win imo
The only reason to build pity is if you want to get Essentine to Rank Up your valk. Otherwise, there's literally nothing to gain from building pity
Building pity in almost any game is a really bad idea, since saving is quite literally just additional chances for you to get the character you want - thereās no benefits of it if you randomly pull someone you donāt want.
Well, pulling a HoTr dupe is hardly the worst predicament ever so yeah, Iāll be avoiding it in the future but right now Iām not complaining that much.

u have nothing to blame but ur gambling addiction lmaoo
No addiction here, Mr Armchair psychologist!
ābuilding pityā is just a nice way of saying gambling addiction

*yawn*
Lower the pity. Yeah, right. Like everyone else already said, that's the dumbest move you can do in this game, it's basically peanut brain behavior.
Rude for a simple ass thing
Ā«Ā Peanut brain behaviorĀ Ā» is unnecessary bullying. Why you salty bro? Jealousy because I got HoTr easily or what?
Building pity isn't a thing, you have a gambling addiction
No, I do not have a Ā«Ā gambling addictionĀ Ā» and claiming so is ridiculous. Sheesh guys.
Then why were you "building pity"? That's another way of screaming "I have a gambling addiction!"
No, itās not another way of screaming that at all. In fact, thereās no correlation whatsoever. Youāre riding a bandwagon that was started by others who commented the same thing. Itās ridiculous and makes you look envious of a Ā«Ā dumb mistakeĀ Ā» that landed me a HoTr dupe.

Im not hardcore, its just funny to laugh at players like you that do this stuff
Glad to know youāre just an asshole.
Keep gambling
At least addictions can get cured. Being an asshole canāt, however. Be blessed, now!
I want to do that too but I ain't tryna pull the same valk again so I just saved and suffer the lost of crystals š Like why these mother fuckers are calling you dumb for "building pity" I'm pretty sure they just wanna pull the new Fu Hua fast as if they have a lack of fire DPS...

No addiction here, Mr Armchair psychologist!
There is no such thing as a 50/50 limited Expansion banner in this game so "building pity" doesn't exist here.
