Silver WolfShould You Pull For Cerydra?
Cerydra is a strong Support for DPS units that use mostly their Skill to deal damage. Her ability to help the DPS use their Skill twice and increase their Skill DMG does wonders to the DPS.
If you have Phainon or Anaxa and want to use them to their full extent, Cerydra is worth pulling for. We don't recommend pulling without Phainon or Anaxa as she can only increase Skill DMG.
Should You Pull For Silver Wolf?
Silver Wolf is a Nihility unit that can provide multiple kinds of debuffs and implant a Weakness that an enemy doesn't have. Her buffs from Version 3.4 enable her to become an AoE debuffer.
Silver Wolf is excellent especially if you're starting out the game since she can implant missing Weaknesses. She loses some value the moment you start collecting more characters later on.
Silver Wolf Best Builds and Teams
Should You Pull for Saber?
Saber is a strong Destruction DPS who can deal high amounts of Skill and Ultimate DMG. While technical to use, Saber can be super effective in all Endgame content if used optimally.
Pull for Saber if you really like her have units that provide turn advance like Sunday or Bronya, or units that restore energy like Huohuo. If you already have a strong Wind DPS, you can consider skipping Saber.
Do note that once Saber's Banner has ended, Saber will be gone forever.
Should You Pull for Archer?
Archer is a free Hunt DPS that specializes in single-target Skill DMG. The real question is whether or not his Eidolons are worth investing on.
Archer's Eidolons will provide quality of life upgrades for his Skill usage at E1 and damage upgrades from E2 onwards. This is great to pull for if you don't plan on pulling Sparkle for Archer.
At E0, Archer is already a strong DPS, but he requires the best Supports for his teams or Eidolons as a solo unit.

Should I Pull for Epoch Etched in Golden Blood?
Cerydra's Light Cone, Epoch Etched in Golden Blood, can increase her own ATK and provide a huge Skill DMG buff to the ally she uses her Skill on. This also provides a nice quality-of-life change of gaining a Skill Point through the use of her Ultimate.
While nice to have for Cerydra, you don't need to pull for it to unlock her full potential. You use other Light Cones such as A Grounded Ascent, or even the free The Forever Victual Light Cone.

Should I Pull for Incessant Rain?
Incessant Rain increases the user's Effect Hit Rate and CRIT Rate. This also debuffs enemies and increases the DMG they take.
There have been multiple Light Cones that are well-suited for most Nihility units. Before the Tutorial Mission Starts and Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat are great affordable Light Cones that bring out the best in most characters.
Therefore, we don't recommend pulling for Incessant Rain.
Incessant Rain - Best Characters and How to Get
Should You Pull for A Thankless Coronation?
A Thankless Coronation is amazing for Saber since it provides her DMG, gives her bonus ATK, and her much needed Energy Regen.
While this is Saber's best-in-slot, other Light Cones such as Thus Burns the Dawn or On the Fall of an Aeon should suffice if you're saving up for other characters.
A Thankless Coronation Best Characters
Should You Pull for The Hell Where Ideals Burn?
The Hell Where Ideals Burn is Archer's best Light Cone since it provides a permanent CRIT Rate buff and boosts his ATK through Skill Usage. This Light Cone can be easily attained if you plan on pulling in the Version 3.4 banners.
If you plan on saving your Stellar Jades, you can skip this Light Cone since other 5-star Light Cones are usable on Archer. If you want to invest on Archer, we recommend getting his Light Cone!

Banner Pity Mechanics
Hard Pity for Characters and Light Cones
Honkai: Star Rail follows the exact same pity rules as Genshin Impact. Characters are guaranteed to appear after 90 pulls while Light Cones only need 80 pulls.
5-Star Selector
After 300 rolls in the Stellar Warp Banner, players are eligible for a 5-star Selector. This is only available once per account so choose wisely!

Event Banner Pity Carries Over
Like in Genshin Impact, pity in Character and Light Cone Event Banners carries over so your pulls are not exactly wasted.
| Example of Pity Carrying Over |
|---|
 Spent 89 pulls for Seele in her banner's last day without getting a 5-Star. Seele's Banner is replaced by Jing Yuan's. Next pull at the 90th is a guaranteed 5-Star with a 50% chance to be Jing Yuan. |
Pull Animation Differences
Different Colors for Pulls
Depending on your pull, the door behind Pom-Pom will glow in different colors. If you did a 10-pull, the highest rarity color is prioritized.

Comment
"Take note that if you get a 5-star earlier than 50 pulls, you will not get another 5-star on your 50th pull. " That's not necessarily true. Let it be known, you can get an extra 5 star after you get your guaranteed one.
