Honkai Star Rail 3.2 to Introduce Changes to Banner System for More Player Freedom

Honkai: Star Rail's gacha system is getting a major overhaul, giving players more control over their character pulls. Leaks suggest version 3.2 will introduce a customizable pity system for limited banners, a significant departure from the current system.

According to leaks from Sakura Haven, the 3.2 update will let you personalize your 50/50 pity pool. Instead of the standard seven characters, you'll choose your preferred characters from an expanded pool. This means you can partially or fully replace the default characters, significantly impacting your chances of getting the character you want.

Currently, the 50/50 pity pool contains seven standard characters. In version 3.2, this will be replaced by a customizable "Group." You'll select seven characters from this group to form your personalized 50/50 pity pool. Losing the 50/50 will then reward you with a character from *your* chosen pool, not the default one.

Initially, this "Group" will include the seven standard characters plus a selection of additional characters. This offers a much-needed level of control and reduces the frustration of unpredictable pity pulls.

This change directly addresses a common gacha complaint: the randomness of losing 50/50 rolls. By prioritizing specific characters, players can better align their pulls with their desired team compositions and playstyles.

While details about the selectable characters are still scarce—it’s unclear whether past limited characters, current banner units, or new additions will be included—the potential impact is substantial.

This customizable pity system showcases miHoYo's commitment to improving Honkai: Star Rail and prioritizing player feedback. It could set a new precedent for gacha game design. The community is understandably excited to see how this change affects gameplay in the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 update.
