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 change to how the gacha works.

According to leaks from Sakura Haven, the 3.2 update lets you personalize your 50/50 pity pool. Instead of the standard seven characters, you'll choose your preferred characters from a larger selection. This allows you to partially or fully replace the default pool, giving you greater agency in your pulls.

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

This initial "Group" will include the seven standard characters plus a selection of additional characters.

This change aims to reduce frustration and increase player satisfaction. By letting players prioritize desired characters, miHoYo addresses a common gacha complaint: the randomness of losing pity pulls. This allows players to better obtain units that fit their playstyle.

However, details about the selectable characters are still scarce. It's unclear whether past limited characters, current banner units, or entirely new characters will be included.

This customizable pity system shows miHoYo's commitment to improving Honkai: Star Rail's player experience and acknowledges the importance of player choice in gacha games. This could set a new precedent for other gacha titles.

While the full impact remains to be seen, the announcement has generated considerable excitement. Players eagerly await the launch of Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 to experience these changes firsthand.
