In Genshin Impression, the characters you employ resolve the sort of playstyle you employ. Some skills allow them to shine on the sector, whereas others don’t must be current to be useful. Growing your Genshin character rely provides you a wide range of kinds to combine and match, relying in your preferences. Nevertheless, the query stays, how do you get extra characters?
Genshin Impression Wishing Mechanics and Ideas
The obvious approach to get extra characters is to want for them. Click on on the star icon on the higher proper to go to the Want Menu within the sport. You’ll see three to 4* banners obtainable to want on. These are:
- One or two Occasion Character Banner(s)
- A corresponding Occasion Weapon Banner (Epitome Invocation, one or each featured 5-star weapons are often the ‘signature weapon(s)’ of the featured 5-star character/s)
- The Commonplace Banner (Wanderlust Invocation), additionally known as perma-banner, has a set prize pool. Additions are everlasting, as within the case of Tighnari after the three.1 patch.
*There’s a particular banner (Novice Banner) obtainable for brand new accounts, giving a assured Noelle (4* Geo Claymore) on the primary 10-pull. It has a 20-pull restrict, after which it disappears from the menu. One other attribute is a particular low cost on doing a 10-pull, distinctive solely on this banner. This one isn’t counted.
You’ll want ‘Destiny’ to want on any of those banners. There are two sorts: Intertwined Destiny (‘purple destiny’) and Acquaint Destiny (‘blue destiny’). Purples are for the Occasion Banners, irrespective of which type, whereas the blues are for the Commonplace Banner. Ensure you don’t get them blended up!
Each Fates have the identical value within the store: 160 Primogems. Alternatively, in alternate for five Starglitter and 75 Stardust (which has a 40% low cost), you may get them within the corresponding menus in Paimon’s Bargains. You solely get the latter two currencies once you want. Stardust Fates even have a restrict of 5 (for each sorts) each month, however they’re additionally the most cost effective. (750 Stardust for five blues and 5 purples.)
As you play the sport, you’ll wish to save your Primogems for purples (Intertwined Fates). The Commonplace Banner will all the time be there, contrasting the Occasion Banners, which rotate with totally different featured characters/objects on occasion.
This manner, you’ll all the time have Primogems to spare each time an Occasion Character you need seems. Because of the mechanic of how pity works, you’re prone to get the Commonplace Banner Characters from the Occasion Banners anyway.
For a deeper rationalization of pity, right here’s the way it works:
- If you happen to haven’t acquired a 5-star at 89 pulls, your ninetieth one will likely be a assured 5-star. It’s 80 on the Weapon Banner, so for those who haven’t obtained a 5-star weapon at 79 pulls, in your eightieth, one is assured.
- This counter resets when you’ve acquired a 5-star with out reaching pity.
- A ‘mushy pity’ mechanic subtly will increase the probabilities of getting a 5-star beginning at 75 pulls on the Commonplace and Character Banners and 65 on Weapon.
- If the 5-star character you acquired isn’t the featured one, your subsequent 5-star (each time that’s) will likely be assured the featured character. That is known as dropping 50/50, as there’s a 50% likelihood of being both the featured character or one of many Commonplace Banner characters.
- On the Weapon Banner, 5-star weapons you possibly can obtain have a 75% to be both of the featured ones. If it isn’t, the following 5-star will likely be a featured one. Since there are two, the Epitomized Path ensures you’ll get your needed weapon in your third 5-star pull. (Ensure you select one to purpose for beforehand!)
- The Commonplace Banner has a 90-pity counter for 5-stars. It doesn’t give a assure whether or not it’s a weapon or character. You may get the next 5-stars from this banner:
- Skyward Collection of weapons (Skyward Sword, Skyward Satisfaction (claymore), Skyward Backbone (polearm), Skyward Atlas (catalyst), Skyward Harp (bow))
- Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
- Misplaced Prayer to the Sacred Winds
- There’s a 4-star (or above) assure each 10 pulls in all banners. Meaning each 10-pull has a assured one 4-star weapon or character. The probabilities of getting a 5-star on this means are minuscule however potential.
- Pity counters don’t cross over to different banner varieties. Meaning pulling in Occasion Character Banners doesn’t add to the pity counters of the Weapon or Commonplace Banners. The one exception is that if there are two featured characters, just like the (as of writing) present 3.1 banners, Cyno and Venti. They share their pity rely.
- Pity counters carry over to the next Occasion banner (for Character and Weapon). For instance, suppose you’ve pulled 50 instances for Cyno or Venti. In that case, you would possibly get Nilou, Albedo, or a unique character sooner or later in your subsequent 40 pulls. The 50/50 assure additionally carries over on this means, irrespective of what number of banners you skipped within the meantime.
- Sadly, Epitomized Paths within the Weapon Banner don’t carry over. Burn up your Destiny Factors earlier than the following banner comes!
- Newly launched 4-stars don’t get added into the pool of 4-stars on the Commonplace Banner till the following patch. The 4-star characters beforehand featured has a hidden price up on the Commonplace Banner for a while afterward.
- A Commonplace Banner character having an occasion banner (as within the case of Keqing) will likely be unavailable on the Commonplace Banner within the meantime.
Briefly, for those who hold wishing, your character assortment will naturally construct up. Wishing additionally permits you to earn Masterless Starglitter, which you should utilize to purchase extra Fates or the rotating characters obtainable within the retailer.
