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, marking a significant shift in how players interact with the game's gacha mechanics.

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 a larger selection. This means you can partially or fully replace the default pool, significantly impacting your chances of getting specific characters.

Currently, the 50/50 pity pool includes seven standard characters. Version 3.2 changes this. You'll select seven characters from a larger "Group" to form your personalized 50/50 pool. Losing the 50/50 will then reward a character from *your* custom pool, not the standard lineup.

This "Group" will initially include the standard seven plus a selection of additional characters. This customizable pity system directly addresses a common gacha frustration: the randomness of losing pity pulls. Prioritizing desired characters increases your chances of obtaining units that fit your playstyle.

However, details remain scarce. It's unclear whether the selectable pool will include past limited characters, current banner units, or entirely new additions. The specifics await further announcements.

This change reflects HoYoverse's commitment to improving Honkai: Star Rail's player experience. By incorporating player choice into the gacha system, they're setting a potential precedent for other games. While the full impact remains to be seen, the community is buzzing with anticipation for the Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 launch.
