HSR Fate Shared Pity Still Live: 200-Warp Free LC Guide

Every warp from Part 1 still feeds the same counter, so your Stellar Jades should target Rin and the 200-warp LC — Gilgamesh comes free. Spend carelessly and you can burn 28,800 jades on a lost 50/50 with nothing to show. This guide is part of our complete HSR Fate collab guide series.

Is the Fate Shared Pity Still Live?

Yes. Confirmed schedule:

• Part 1: Live since July 11, 2025 — Saber (5-star Wind Destruction) and Archer (5-star Quantum Hunt).
• Part 2: July 24, 2026 in Version 4.4 — Rin banner (5-star Quantum Erudition) plus free Gilgamesh.
• Version 4.4 Phase 1: Himeko-Nova (5-star Fire Erudition) runs before the collab phase.

Your Part 1 pity isn't gone — both Fate banners share one count, so every pull from last July still pushes you toward your next 5-star. Exact end times vary by server; check the in-game Warp details page daily during the collab.

Check your live pity in under a minute

1. Open the Warp menu, select the Fate banner.
2. Tap Details → Records.
3. Count warps since your last 5-star — that's your current pity.
4. If that 5-star wasn't featured, your next one is guaranteed featured.
5. Note your distance from soft pity (pull 74) to budget the rest.

How HSR Fate Shared Pity Works

Standard Character Event Warp rules, one twist: both collab phases share a single counter.

• Base 5-star rate: 0.6%
• Soft pity: pull 74, rates climb sharply
• Hard pity: guaranteed 5-star at 90
• 50/50: lose it and the next 5-star is guaranteed featured
• 4-star pity: every 10 warps
• Worst case: 180 warps (28,800 Stellar Jades) for a guaranteed featured character

Light Cone banner odds are friendlier: 0.8% base, soft pity 63, hard pity 80, 75% featured rate. Worst case: 160 warps (25,600 jades).

Shared pity vs standard banner pity

• Same-type carryover: pity and 50/50 state carry between same-type banners — nothing lost on rotation.
• Cross-phase sharing: Part 1 and Part 2 Fate banners explicitly share one count — a 60-pull head start from 2025 still applies to Rin.
• Type separation: character and Light Cone pity are tracked independently.

Pity myths debunked

• Shared with the standard banner. No — sharing applies between same-type event banners and across Fate phases, not the permanent Standard Warp.
• Resets between phases. False — the count persists into Part 2.
• Losing 50/50 wastes pity. Wrong — losing sets a guarantee, and that carries over too.

Free Gilgamesh: Claim Before the Window Closes

Gilgamesh (5-star Lightning Destruction) costs zero warps — log in during Version 4.4 Phase 2 and he's yours. Part 1 ran the same playbook: free Archer with Level 60 ascension materials, claimable until Version 3.6 ends.

What this means for your plan:

• Your Destruction slot is covered free — no jades needed there.
• Gilgamesh is self-sufficient: he uses basic attacks until his Interest Gauge fills, and allies' ultimates charge that gauge.
• Saber triggers his follow-up attacks whenever she attacks — pulled her in Part 1? You own his best enabler.
• His premium team (Gilgamesh, Saber, Mortenax Blade, Huohuo) fields two collab units without a single pull on his banner.

Why Fund Rin After Free Gilgamesh

Rin is a 5-star Quantum Erudition burst mage: 698 base ATK, 102 SPD, and a 160-Energy Ultimate dealing 750% ATK single-target plus 250% ATK AoE — real numbers for bossing and wave clear.

Her ceiling jumps with Archer on the team:

• Archer raises the max Skill Point cap from 5 to 7.
• Grants Rin 150% ATK and 20% DEF Ignore.
• Their Joint Follow-Up triggers at 3 or fewer SP: 375% ATK AoE plus 4 SP recovered.

Premium lineup: Rin, Archer, Sparkle, Huohuo. Claimed free Archer in Part 1? Funding Rin completes the collab's strongest synergy core — our Rin build guide covers relics and trace priority.

E0 vs signature LC vs Eidolons

• E0 Rin first, always. A new unit beats vertical investment.
• Then Flickering Stars. Her S1 signature grants 18% CRIT Rate, 36% Skill DMG, 30% DEF Ignore — and the LC banner's 75% featured rate makes it far safer than Eidolon chasing.
• Eidolons last. Only after E0 + LC, and only if the 200-warp milestone is secured.

The 200-Warp LC — and How Not to Waste It

Accumulate 200 warps across any Warp event and claim a free signature Light Cone for Gilgamesh or Archer — your choice. Archer's is The Hell Where Ideals Burn (Hunt); Gilgamesh's serves his Destruction kit. At 32,000 jades of value, treat this milestone like a second banner.

Five mistakes that burn your progress

1. Mixing banner types. Character and LC pity are separate counters — know which one you're moving.
2. Losing your cumulative total. The milestone counts warps across any Warp event — log every pull in both phases.
3. Ignoring soft pity. Expect 5-stars around pull 74 (character) or 63 (LC); budgeting hard pity every time means oversaving and missed banners.
4. Pulling at high pity without a plan. A casual 10-pull at 70+ pity can land an unwanted 5-star and reset your counter.
5. Missing free claims. Gilgamesh's login window and Archer's claim (until Version 3.6 ends) are free roster power that saves warps.

Who gets the reward LC

Pick Gilgamesh's if you run his premium team (Gilgamesh, Saber, Mortenax Blade, Huohuo). Pick Archer's if The Hell Where Ideals Burn completes your Part 1 Archer — especially alongside Rin, where his SP-cap and ATK buffs do the heavy lifting.

Warp Budget Math

Each Star Rail Special Pass costs 160 jades. Plan around:

• Soft pity: ~74 warps (11,840 jades) per 5-star
• Hard pity, won 50/50: 90 warps (14,400 jades)
• Worst case, lost 50/50: 180 warps (28,800 jades) for guaranteed Rin
• Rin + Flickering Stars worst case: 340 warps (54,400 jades)

F2P income varies per patch — tally daily training, collab and version events, Simulated Universe, Memory of Chaos, and maintenance compensation. Then:

1. Subtract current jades and passes from your target (28,800 for guaranteed Rin).
2. Divide the gap by days left until July 24, 2026.
3. If the daily requirement exceeds realistic income, decide now: cut the LC, or plan a measured top-up.

Smart Top-Up Strategy

The Express Supply Pass suits steady savers; Oneiric Shards fix immediate gaps — convert to jades and buy passes the moment soft pity approaches.

• Calculate your exact shortfall (30 warps = 4,800 jades) and top up only that.
• Top up after checking pity records, never before.
• Use buffget for competitive pricing, fast delivery, secure transactions, wide game coverage, and 24/7 customer support — its high user ratings exist because panic-topping at banner end is so common.

Pull, Wait, or Skip

Pure F2P:

• Claim free Gilgamesh (and Archer if still available).
• Pull Rin only if savings plus income reach ~74 with a guarantee, or ~180 without.
• Skip Flickering Stars unless the 200-warp milestone is within reach.

Low spenders:

• Target E0 Rin, then reassess.
• Add Flickering Stars if it completes the 200-warp milestone.
• Top up only the measured gap.

Returning players:

• Check warp records first — Part 1 pity still counts.
• Prioritize Rin for Quantum Erudition coverage; Gilgamesh arrives free regardless.

FAQ

Is the Fate shared pity still live in HSR? Yes. Part 1 live since July 11, 2025; Part 2 opens July 24, 2026; both share one counter.

Does the Fate banner share pity with regular banners? Pity and 50/50 state carry between same-type banners, and the two Fate phases share a count. Not with the permanent Standard Warp.

Will pity carry over when the collab ends? Standard same-type carryover applies to pity. The 200-warp LC is tied to the event — claim it before it ends.

How many warps guarantee Rin? 90 guarantees a 5-star; 180 (28,800 jades) guarantees Rin after a lost 50/50.

How do I claim free Gilgamesh? Log in during Version 4.4 Phase 2 — no warps required.

What is the 200-warp Light Cone? 200 warps across any Warp event during the collab earns a free signature LC for Gilgamesh or Archer.
