How the Wuthering Waves pity system works
Wuthering Waves uses a 80-pull ceiling with soft pity from pull 66. Below 66 every pull sits at 0.8%; from 66 onward the rate gains 6.0 points per pull until the ceiling forces a hit. Featured characters are a 50/50 split: losing it guarantees the next 5★.
Starting from zero pity, the average player needs about 53.6 pulls. Half of players are done by 67, 90% by 72. The gap between the average and the median is the tail: a lucky minority pulls early and drags the mean down, so planning around the average understates your risk.
