Honkai Impact 3rd free pulls: how many Crystals you earn per month without paying

Every pull in Honkai Impact 3rd costs 280 Crystals. A free-to-play account that clears its routine content collects roughly 5,100–9,000 Crystals a month, which converts into 18–32 pulls on the Battlesuit Supply banner. Below is where that currency actually comes from, source by source, and what it means against a hard pity of 90.

The table only counts sources that repeat every month. Story rewards, achievements and other one-off bonuses are listed separately: they are a big head start for a new account, but they do not pay the next banner.

Where the free Crystals come from each month

Source	Crystals / month	≈ pulls
Daily missions	900–1,200	3–4
Endgame modes (towers, raids, arena)	2,400–4,000	8–14
Limited-time events	1,500–3,000	5–10
Redeem codes & compensation mail	300–800	1–2
Monthly total (recurring only)	5,100–9,000	18–32

How far 18–32 pulls a month get you on the Battlesuit Supply banner

Hard pity on this banner sits at 90 pulls. Saving everything, a free player reaches hard pity in about 3–5 months, and the worst case for the featured unit (90 pulls) in about 3–5 months. With one month of pulls and no pity carried over, the chance of the featured unit is 24%–38%; with two months saved it climbs to 42%–62%.

One-time boosts for new accounts

These pay out once per account. They are not part of the monthly figure, but a fresh Honkai Impact 3rd account can pull far more in its first weeks than the recurring total suggests.
