Pity and Soft Pity of Eula banner

Pity and soft pity are the community-defined terms used for describing the guaranteed and expected drop rate of the promoted characters. The pity count for Eula's banner "Born of Ocean Swell" is set at 90.

This means that players are guaranteed to get a 5-star character in 90 wishes. However, it's not guaranteed that the unlocked character will be Eula.

The banner has a 50% probability of dropping the featured character. If the first 5-star is not the featured one, then the second character is confirmed to be Eula.

Soft-pity is the odds of getting a featured character without hitting the pity count. Soft pity for Eula's banner is believed to be around 77, which means players can expect a 5-star character at any moment after 77 wishes.

The chances of getting a 5-star unit keep increasing significantly after 77 wishes until it hits 100% on the 90th wish.

The pity and soft-pity of weapons banner featuring Eula's signature claymore "Song of Broken Pines" are set at 80 and ~67, respectively.
