HSR Rin Tohsaka Pity Guide: Fate Warp Carryover Explained

Pulled on Saber or Archer during the first Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] collab? Every one of those pulls still counts — and this HSR Rin Tohsaka pity guide will save you real money. For the full banner history, bookmark the Fate collab warp and pity hub.

Collab warps run on their own persistent pity counter, and that changes exactly how many Oneiric Shards you need — often far fewer than the 14,400 worst case players panic-buy. Once you've confirmed your count below, an HSR Rin Tohsaka Oneiric Shards top up through buffget gives you competitive pricing, fast delivery, and secure checkout — so you buy only what you actually need.

Quick Answer: Yes, Your Old Fate Warps Carry Over

All four Fate collab banners share one guaranteed drop counter. Saber pulls and your 50/50 status transfer directly to Rin's warp.

Why check before buying:

• From 0 pity, no guarantee: worst case 180 pulls (28,800 Stellar Jade)
• With 40 pity banked: ceiling drops to 140 pulls (22,400 Jade)
• With guarantee active: at most 90 pulls from your current count

Players who skip the pity check routinely overspend by thousands of shards. Don't be one of them.

What Is the HSR x Fate/stay night Collab Warp?

Phase one featured Saber and Archer, with Archer free as a 5-star Quantum Hunt unit during the event. Version 4.4 continues the crossover: Rin Tohsaka debuts as a 5-star Quantum Erudition character on July 24, 2026, the day the Imagenae Holy Grail War event launches, and Gilgamesh joins as a free 5-star Lightning Destruction unit.

HSR groups warps by banner type, and pity only carries within the same type. The Fate collab warp is its own type — distinct from Character Event Warp, Stellar Warp, Departure Warp, and Light Cone Event Warp.

Confirmed vs. expected:

• Officially scheduled: Rin's July 24, 2026 release in Version 4.4; the collab warp's separate pity system
• Community expectation: exact phase duration and end dates — unconfirmed until the in-game notice
• Editorial note: re-verify pity rules on the in-game banner details screen on patch day; see the Rin Tohsaka banner schedule

Last verified: pre-patch review for Version 4.4 (July 2026).

HSR Rin Tohsaka Pity Carryover Rules Explained

1. Collab pity persists across collab banners. All four Fate banners share one counter — Saber pulls count toward Rin.
2. Collab pity never merges with other warps. Character Event, Stellar, and Departure Warp counters are untouched. Deeper comparison: collab warp vs character event warp.
3. Banner expiry doesn't erase your counter. It waits for the next collab warp.
4. 50/50 guarantee status carries too. If your last collab 5-star was off-banner, your next collab 5-star is guaranteed featured.

How to Check Your Fate Collab Pity Count In-Game

Do this before any top-up:

1. Open the Warp menu.
2. Tap View Details on the collab warp.
3. Select the Records tab to open your warp history.
4. Count pulls since your last collab 5-star — that's your current pity.

Reading your 50/50: last collab 5-star was featured (e.g., Saber) = 50/50 reset. Last was a standard 5-star = guarantee active, next featured pull locked in.

Common tracking mistakes:

• Mixing banner tabs — each warp type has its own Records history
• Forgetting the Light Cone collab warp is a separate counter entirely
• Counting the wrong phase; collab Records persist across phases, so scroll back

HSR Pity System Explained: Soft Pity, Hard Pity, 50/50

• Hard pity: 5-star character guaranteed within 90 warps
• Soft pity: rates climb sharply from ~pull 74 — most 5-stars land at 74–80
• Base rate: 0.6% per pull for a 5-star character
• 4-star pity: 4-star or better guaranteed every 10 warps
• Light Cone warps: hard pity 80, soft pity from pull 65, base rate 0.8%

How 50/50 works: your 5-star has a 50% chance to be featured. Win, and it resets — a featured pull costs up to 90 warps (14,400 Stellar Jade). Lose, and your next 5-star is guaranteed featured — true worst case: 180 warps (28,800 Jade).

The 14,400 Oneiric Shards Math: Worst-Case Cost of Rin

Shards convert 1:1 to Stellar Jade; one pull costs 160 Jade. So 14,400 Oneiric Shards = 14,400 Jade = exactly 90 warps = one full hard pity. Full breakdown: what 14,400 Oneiric Shards really buys.

Realistic vs. worst case: soft pity means most 5-stars drop at 11,840–12,800 Jade worth of pulls. The 14,400 figure is a ceiling, not an expectation — and carried pity lowers your personal ceiling further.

How Many Oneiric Shards Do YOU Actually Need?

Formula: shards needed = (90 − current pity) × 160, adjusted for guarantee status.

Worked examples:

• 0 pity, no guarantee: worst case is losing the 50/50 — 180 pulls = 28,800 shards. Winning path: 14,400.
• 40 pity, no guarantee: up to 50 pulls (8,000 shards) to the first 5-star; lose the 50/50 and add 90. Ceiling: 22,400 shards.
• 20 pity, guarantee active: at most 70 pulls = 11,200 shards; ~10,000 realistic with soft pity.

First-time bonuses: a first-time 6,480-shard pack yields 12,960 shards — nearly a full hard pity by itself. At standard rates, the $99.99 pack contains 6,480 + 1,600 shards. Run the formula, then pick the smallest pack combination that covers it.

A Honkai Star Rail Fate pity recharge on buffget lets you purchase that exact amount with fast delivery and secure transactions — no rounding up to packs you don't need.

Common Pity Misconceptions That Cost Players Money

• Collab pity expires when the banner ends. False. The counter persists until the next collab warp.
• All banners share one pity counter. False. Collab, character event, stellar, departure, and light cone warps all track pity independently.
• Buy shards first, check later. The most expensive mistake in the game. Checking takes 60 seconds and can save you 14,000+ shards.
• The light cone warp shares character pity. False. Rin's signature Light Cone, Flickering Stars, runs on the separate Light Cone collab track with its own 80-pull hard pity (12,800 Jade). Never mix the two counters.

Smart Top-Up Strategy for Rin Tohsaka

Golden rule: check pity first, buy second. Never purchase 14,400 shards just in case — buy to your calculated ceiling and let soft pity refund the difference in unspent Jade.

Why players top up Oneiric Shards on buffget:

• Competitive pricing across pack sizes
• Fast delivery so you're ready on banner day
• Secure transactions and checkout
• Wide game coverage, excellent customer service, high user ratings

Timing tip: wait for the official banner announcement to confirm phase timing, but have your account funded and ready — Day 1 pulling is when carried pity pays off.

Pre-spend checklist:

1. Screenshot your collab warp Records
2. Confirm 50/50 status
3. Run the (90 − pity) × 160 formula
4. Check for unused first-time double bonuses
5. Buy only the calculated amount

Checked your pity and know your number? Top up Oneiric Shards on buffget for fast delivery, secure checkout, and great value — then welcome Rin Tohsaka home without overspending a single shard.

F2P and Low-Spender Alternatives Before You Spend

Before opening your wallet, tally your remaining Stellar Jade income for the version:

• Daily training and missions
• Version events — the Imagenae Holy Grail War event is the big one in 4.4
• Memory of Chaos clears
• Simulated Universe rewards

Across a full version cycle these can fund a substantial share of a pity — the F2P Stellar Jade income guide breaks down the per-patch math. If farmed Jade plus carried pity covers the 74–80 soft pity band, you may not need to spend at all.

When topping up genuinely makes sense: you're short of your calculated ceiling with days left, you're securing the guarantee for Flickering Stars as well, or you want E1+ copies. Spend to a number, never to a feeling.

HSR Rin Tohsaka Pity Guide: FAQ

Does Fate collab pity carry over to Rin Tohsaka's banner in HSR? Yes. All four Fate collab banners share one guaranteed drop counter — every pull from the Saber/Archer phase counts toward Rin.

Is the Fate collab pity separate from the Character Event Warp pity? Yes, completely. Collab pity never merges with Character Event Warp, Stellar Warp, or Departure Warp counters.

How do I check my pity count in Honkai Star Rail? Open Warp → View Details → Records tab, then count pulls since your last collab 5-star. If that 5-star was off-banner, your guarantee is active.

How many pulls is 14,400 Oneiric Shards in HSR? Exactly 90 pulls. Shards convert 1:1 to Stellar Jade at 160 per pull — one full hard pity.

Do I lose my pity when the Fate collab banner ends? No. Your counter and 50/50 status persist into the next collab warp, including Rin Tohsaka's.

Does collab character pity count toward the collab light cone warp? No. Flickering Stars uses a separate Light Cone track with its own counter and an 80-pull hard pity — track them independently.
