Honkai Star Rail Oneiric Shard: 80 vs 160 Pulls Guide

Light Cone Event Warp hard pity is 80 pulls. Lose the 75/25 and your next 5-star is guaranteed featured, so worst-case is 80 + 80 = 160 pulls. Shards convert 1:1 to Jade, so you need the same number in Shards. Plan your honkai star rail oneiric shard top up on buffget for fast delivery, secure UID recharge, and competitive pricing.

Quick Answer: 80 Pulls vs 160 Pulls

• Any 5-star Light Cone: 80 pulls, 12,800 Jade, 12,800 Shards, ~$159.84 at $1.98/pull repeat rate
• Specific featured: 160 pulls max, 25,600 Jade, 25,600 Shards, ~$319.68 repeat rate
• Average luck: ~67 pulls for a 5-star (10,720 Jade), ~94 pulls effective for featured with 75% win rate
• Without bonus: 2x $99.99 (8,080 x 2 = 16,160 Shards) covers 80 pulls, 4x $99.99 (32,320 Shards) covers 160 pulls
• With first-time double: 1x $99.99 (12,960 Shards) covers 80 pulls, 2x $99.99 covers 160 pulls
• Thresholds to remember: 12,800 = cone, 14,400 = character (90 x 160), 28,800 = both from zero

Pro tip: Formula is (Target Pulls - Current Pity) x 160 = Jade needed = Shards needed.

Light Cone Event Warp Pity Explained

Light Cone pity is cheaper than Character pity. Don't mix them.

Hard pity, soft pity, base rates

• Base 5-star rate 0.8%: Higher than 0.6% character rate, so pity is 80 not 90
• Hard pity at 80: 100% 5-star on pull 80, costs 12,800 Jade from zero
• Soft pity 63-65: Effective rate climbs fast. Most wins land 65-70. Community estimates +5-7% per pull after 63, not officially confirmed. Official: base rate, 1.6% smoothed average, hard pity only
• Average: cone ~67 pulls, character ~77 pulls
• 4-star: 6.6% rate on cone banner vs 5.1% on character, guaranteed every 10 pulls. Doesn't reset 5-star counter
• Expected value: cone 78.75 pulls (12,600 Jade), character 108.75 pulls (17,400 Jade)

75/25 featured rule and carryover

• Every 5-star has 75% chance to be featured, 25% standard
• Lose 75/25? Next 5-star is guaranteed featured. Guarantee carries to any future Light Cone Event Warp
• Example: Pull Sunday's 'A Grounded Ascent' in HSR 3.8 Phase 3, Jan 28-Feb 12, 2026. Get Night on the Milky Way at pull 70, your next 5-star within 80 pulls is guaranteed A Grounded Ascent
• Character banner is different: 50/50 first, guaranteed after loss, worst-case 180 pulls (28,800 Jade). Cone is $40-60 cheaper

Core Math: 1 Pull = 160 Jade = 160 Shards

• 1 pull = 160 Stellar Jade = 160 Oneiric Shards = 1 Star Rail Special Pass
• Conversion is instant, 1:1, no fee. 25,600 Shards = 25,600 Jade = 160 pulls exactly
• 8,080 Shards = 8,080 Jade = 50.5 pulls
• No bulk discount in-game
• Keep Jade, not Passes, if undecided between cone vs character. Jade works for any Warp

Expected featured character cost is ~94 pulls (15,040 Jade, ~$195), worst-case ~$361. Cone featured costs less due to 75% rate + 80 pity.

How Many Tiers for 80 Pulls Hard Pity?

From zero you need 12,800 Shards.

• Zero pity, repeat: 2x $99.99 = $199.98 for 101 pulls worth
• Zero pity, first-time: 1x $99.99 = $99.99 for 81 pulls worth, 160 Shards leftover
• 50 pity (30 left = 4,800 Shards): 1x $49.99 (3,880) + 1x $14.99 (1,090) = 4,970 Shards
• 70 pity (10 left = 1,600 Shards): 1x $14.99 + 1x $4.99 + free dailies cover rest
• 40 pity (40 left = 6,400 Shards): 1x $49.99 + 1x $29.99

Cheapest repeat combo for 80 pulls: 1x $99.99 + 1x $49.99 + 1x $4.99 + 1x $0.99 = $155.96 for 12,350 Shards. Add 450 free Jade to hit 12,800.

In practice: Don't pre-buy 80 pulls at banner start. Use 8,000-10,000 monthly F2P Jade (~50-62 pulls) first, then top up deficit. Direct top-up makes sense within 10-20 pulls of pity with 24-48 hours left.

How Many Tiers for 160 Pulls Guaranteed Featured?

Worst-case you need 25,600 Shards.

• 3x $99.99 = 24,240 Shards (151 pulls) — just short. 4th tier is mandatory from zero
• Repeat: 4x $99.99 = $399.96, 32,320 Shards = 202 pulls, 42-pull buffer left
• Smarter repeat: 3x $99.99 + 1x $29.99 = 26,480 Shards, saves $70 vs 4x largest, still covers 160
• First-time: 2x $99.99 with double = $199.98 for ~25,920 Shards, covers full guarantee in two buys
• 94-pull combo: 8,080 + 3,880 + 2,240 + 3x 330 = $194.94 for 15,190 shards (94.9 pulls). Matches ~$195 expected featured cost

What works by budget:

• One-click: 4x $99.99, $399.96, zero math. Best for day-one S5 pushes
• Mid-value: 2x $99.99 + 2x $49.99 + 1x $29.99 = $329.95 for 26,160 Shards, 163 pulls
• With pity: At 60 pity with guarantee (100 left = 16,000 Shards), buy 2x $99.99 repeat or 1x $99.99 first-time + $29.99. Subtract free Jade first

And cap Superimposition: S2-S5 needs 320-400 total pulls (51,200-64,000 Jade). Set a cap.

Cheapest Way to Reach Guaranteed Cone

Stack free Jade first. F2P monthly is 8,000-10,000 Jade from dailies, events, exploration, Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction.

• Daily + events = 60-70% of monthly income. Don't skip final 3 days
• Maintenance + livestream codes: 600-1,000 Jade per patch = 3-6 free pulls
• Cherished Recollection, Apr 9 - May 20, 2025: 18,000 Shards milestone gave Golden Companion Spirit selector
• Example: Need 12,800 but have 6,000 free = top up only 6,800 (1x $49.99 + 1x $29.99)

Express Supply Pass and Battle Pass math

• Express Supply Pass $4.99: 300 Shards + 90 Jade daily x 30 = 3,000 Jade (18.75 Warps). 3,300 total value = 20.6 pulls. $0.27/pull — cheapest path. Stack cap 179-180 days (6 max), manual claim, no rollover
• Nameless Honor $9.99: 680 Jade, 4 Special Passes, selectable 4-star cone at BP Level 30. $0.75/pull
• Nameless Medal $19.99: +10 BP levels + 200 Jades for short on time

3 Real Player Examples

Pity carries within same warp type only, resets on any 5-star. 4 tracks independent: Character Event, Light Cone Event, Stellar Warp, Departure Warp.

Early soft-pity win at 65 pulls

0 pity, targeting In the Night or Incessant Rain rerun. Limited banners run 21 days; cone reruns take 12-18+ months. Spend 65 pulls (10,400 Jade), win 75/25 at pull 65. With 8,000 F2P Jade, deficit 2,400 = 1x $29.99 (2,240) + 160 daily Jade. Under $30.

Hard pity loss then guarantee at 130 pulls

Start 20 pity carried. Pull to 80 (60 new), lose to Night on the Milky Way. Guarantee triggers. Win at 70 into second cycle (130 new total). Math: 130 x 160 = 20,800 Jade. With 5,000 free, top up 15,800 = 1x $99.99 + 1x $49.99 + 1x $29.99 (14,200) + 1x $14.99 (1,090) + 1x $4.99 (330) = 15,620 + 200 dailies.

Zero pity fresh start to full guarantee

New Trailblazer Lv.20+, 0 pulls, wants worst-case. Needs 25,600. Repeat: 4x $99.99 = $399.96, gets 32,320, uses 25,600, banks 6,720. First-time: 2x $99.99 = $199.98 for ~25,920, covers it in two buys.

Common Misconceptions

• 4-star doesn't reset 5-star pity. Only a 5-star resets to zero. 4-star at pull 30? Your 5-star pity is still 30
• Standard and event pity are separate. Stellar Warp 90 pity gives zero progress to 80-pity event cone. Save Special Passes for limited 75% banner
• Guarantee carries, item changes. Lose during In the Night, guarantee applies to next Brighter Than the Sun automatically
• Other pits: Departure/Beginner Warp 50-pull limit, guaranteed random 5-star character, no 5-star cones. Stellar Warp has 300th-pull selector. PS5 purchases must be claimed via PC/mobile, platform-locked
• Character reruns take 6-9 months if popular, cone reruns longer — prioritize 75/25 window

Smart Top Up Checklist and Pity Tracker

To check pity: Warp > Records (View Records). Count pulls since last 5-star.

1. Open Light Cone Event Warp, tap Records, count 5 per page back to last 5-star
2. Add 1 to displayed Pulls Since Last 5-Star for true pity
3. Remaining = (80 - current pity) x 160. Example: 43 pity = (80-43) x 160 = 5,920 Jade. Same if guaranteed, but featured is certain
4. Deficit = Needed Jade - (Current Jade + Undone events + Remaining dailies x 90 if Pass active)
5. Buy exact tiers + 2-pull buffer. Screenshot pity before each banner

When to stop / top up:

• Stop: Won featured early at 30-60, or at 70 pulls with no budget for 80+80 cycle
• Top up: Lost 75/25 and guaranteed within next 80, or at 65+ pity with 48h left needing 5-10 pulls
• Cap: $100 per cone low-spenders, $400 worst-case collectors. Avoid S1+ unless account-defining
• Update every version (6 weeks). Version 3.5 launches Aug 13, 2025 — verify prices then. Review pity quarterly
