WuWa Pull Calculator Formula
The core calculation for gacha deficit is based on a simple linear equation. You must know three of the four variables to solve for the missing one. The formula is:
Where:
Variables Explained
- Target Pulls ($T_P$): The total number of pulls you are aiming for (e.g., 90 for hard pity, 80 for soft pity, or 180 for a guaranteed featured Resonator).
- Current Pity ($C_P$): The number of pulls already made on the current banner.
- Tickets Owned ($T_O$): Your current inventory of Lustrous Tides (or Radiant Tides).
- Tickets to Acquire ($T_N$): The net result. A positive value means you need to acquire more tickets; a negative value means you have a surplus (tickets remaining).
Formula Source: Derived from standard Gacha Expected Value Models (e.g., Wuthering Waves Pity System Guide, Dexerto WuWa Pity Guide).
What is the WuWa Pull Calculator?
The WuWa Pull Calculator is an essential financial tool for players of the Wuthering Waves gacha game. It helps manage expectations and resources by quantifying the exact number of pulls—and thus the necessary expenditure or grind—required to achieve a specific target, such as a featured 5-star Resonator or Weapon.
Unlike simple calculators that only factor in pity, this advanced tool allows users to solve for any unknown variable in the system. Whether you are budgeting for a future character (solving for $T_N$), or trying to determine the maximum guaranteed pity you can hit with your current funds (solving for $T_P$), this calculator provides the precise numerical answer.
How to Calculate WuWa Pulls (Example)
- Identify the Target Pulls ($T_P$): You want to guarantee a specific featured Resonator, which requires hitting soft pity (80 pulls) on the limited banner twice to guarantee the 50/50. Assume $T_P = 180$ pulls total.
- Check Current Pity ($C_P$): Look at your banner history. You are currently at $C_P = 45$ pulls.
- Count Tickets Owned ($T_O$): You have $T_O = 35$ Lustrous Tides saved up in your inventory.
- Solve for Tickets to Acquire ($T_N$): Apply the formula: $T_N = T_P – C_P – T_O$.
- Result: $T_N = 180 – 45 – 35 = 100$. This means you need to acquire 100 more tickets to reach your target.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is 90 pulls the only Target Pulls value?
No. While 90 is the “hard pity” guaranteed 5-star, many players use 80 pulls as the “soft pity” target because the drop rate significantly increases there. For a guaranteed featured Resonator, the target is 180 pulls (90 + 90) to account for the 50/50 chance.
What if my Tickets to Acquire ($T_N$) result is negative?
A negative value means you have a surplus of tickets. For example, a result of -10 means you have 10 pulls remaining after you hit your target.
Can I use this for Weapon Banners (Permanent and Limited)?
Yes. You would input the weapon banner’s respective pity threshold (typically 80 for hard pity) into the Target Pulls ($T_P$) field and use the correct tickets (Radiant Tides or Forging Tides, depending on the banner).
Why do I need to input exactly three variables?
This calculator uses a single linear equation with four variables. Mathematically, you must know three of the four values to solve uniquely for the missing one.
