Question about Capturing Radiance

I have never had it triggered since it was implemented in 5.0, which might probably sound a bit like a flex, but it's just for context to explain why I'm not familiar with how the feature works. I've only ever seen it on streamer pulls or, of course, here on the subreddit.

My own situation currently is that, since 6.0, I lost 50/50 on Nefer banner, then won Columbina (I didn't use the guarantee on Bina, I won her. I kept pulling on Nefer's banner until I got her, so Bina was another 50/50), then lost 50/50 again on Ineffa banner and now we're here.

What's my Capturing Radiance status as of now? What's the chance of it triggering? From my understanding, it should be at 1 because of the wins in between losses, but correct me if I'm wrong. I would love if someone explained how it works.

Everytime you win your 50/50 it resets to 0. So now with ineffa your count is 1, and I think it was 5% chance for it to trigger next time you loose your 50/50.

A win does not reset the counter. It only reduces it by 1, with a minimum value of 0.

Someone else has already commented with a link to a post explaining the rules in detail.

If you lose 1 50/50 on the next one you have 25% chance to trigger capturing radiance if you lose.
If you lose 2 in a row, on the next one you have a 50% percentage chance to trigger capturing radiance if you lose.
If you lose 3 in a row, on the next one you are guaranteed to trigger capturing radiance if you lose

Those numbers are not real. If your counter is at 1 then your chance of triggering CR is basically 0%. If your counter is at 2 then it's about a ~5% chance (or about ~10% if you already take into account that you lost the 50/50). If your counter is at 3 then it's a 100% chance, it doesn't even attempt the 50/50.

If you lose 3 in a row, the 4th set of pulls is guaranteed to trigger capturing radiance in the event that you ‘lose’. Meaning that no matter what, you’re getting that event banner character.

Someone did a simulation on the capturing radiance system and (grain of salt for my poor memory), every time you win a 5050, the counter reduces by 1
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1hd1sqa/understanding_genshin_impacts_capturing_radiance/) is a pretty good explanation

did you only start in 6.0? because if not you need to know your pull history during the 5.X patches too since the counter does not reset every X.0 like long term encounter points.

basically CR is guaranteed once your counter reaches 3. your initial counter is 1 (starting from 5.0). your counter goes *down* by 1 every time you WIN a 50/50 and goes *up* by 1 if you LOSE. the counter only resets to 1 when you trigger CR (which you haven't yet).

for example:

if your counter was 0 during 6.0 then your counter would be 1 right now (0 → 1 bc lost nefer ; 1 → 0 bc won bina ; 0 → 1 bc lost ineffa).

if your counter was 1 at the start of 6.0 then you'd be at 2.

That's interesting... Let me do a quick recap of my pulls since 5.0.

I pulled on Chiori's banner in 5.1. I got her C0 early, I continued pulling and got another 3 copies of her, all early 50/50 wins in a row.

I took a break, came back in 5.3. I pulled on Citlali's banner and lost the 50/50. I used the guarantee on Mavuika. I pulled on Arlecchino's banner, won the 50/50. I got Clorinde, won another 50/50.

Took another break. Pulled on Navia banner, won the 50/50 again.

Won the 50/50 on Skirk's banner.

Won on Citlali's rerun as well.

Won 50/50 on Lauma.

Then lost on Nefer, won on Columbina, lost on Ineffa.

oh! i forgot to mention this earlier: counter won't go below 0 so even if you win multiple consecutive 50/50s, you won't go into negatives. this means the max number of 50/50s you can lose in a row is 3.

seems like you were at 0 at the start of 6.0 so now you're at 1.
