How To Get Your Favorite Characters in Genshin Impact

To have a good time playing Genshin Impact, you need the characters. Genshin Impact has a cast of unique characters with unique perspectives, mechanics, and skills. Character rarity is categorized into two levels: four-star and five-star. Four-star characters may be found anywhere and are easy to obtain (1 out of every 10 pulls guaranteed), whereas five-star characters are rare and can only be obtained through sheer chance (1 out of every 80 pulls guaranteed). Acquiring five-star characters requires familiarity with the pity system, which will be covered later in this essay. Here, we will examine the methods for obtaining characters for Genshin Impact.

Resources Needed To Get Your Genshin Characters 

Genshin Impact’s three primary resources for acquiring characters are Primogems, Acquaint Fate, and Intertwined Fate. You can’t wish on the banners without these supplies. Similarly, when you draw four stars, you will earn Masterless Starglitter; when you successfully pull three stars, you will obtain Masterless Stardust.

Primogems 

Primogems are the lifeblood of Genshin Impact’s character acquisition system. To earn them, you can explore, participate in events, fill out surveys, play character stories, challenge the Abyss, open chests, undertake quests, participate in special web activities, or hire your Genshin Impact booster at any time to help you boost your levels more.

With 160 Primogems, you can wish for a character on Limited Event banners or Standard banners in Genshin Impact, and each one grants one Intertwined or Aquaint Fate. Events are the best source of Primogems because they award a minimum of 420 primogems.

Starlight and Stellar Dust

The quantity of Stardust and Starglitter you receive changes from one pull to the next. To illustrate, two Masterless Starglitter will be obtained if you obtain a duplicate four-star character whose constellation is incomplete and five if the constellation is complete. Thus, you get two Masterless Starglitter for a four-star weapon copy.

Best Ways to Get New Characters in Genshin Impact

With the prerequisites out of the way, let’s examine where and how to obtain new characters in Genshin Impact.

Wishing on Limited Time or Permanent Banners

Exclusive five-star characters can be yours with the help of Limited Event banners. Every month, with each Genshin Impact patch, four new five-star characters are added to the game. Two of these characters are reserved for the first half of the month, and the other two are added for the second half. Primogems, which players can acquire through Paimon’s deals, can be used to directly wish for five-star characters or converted to Intertwined or Acquaint Fate.

Remember that there’s a 50% probability that you might not receive the five-star character you’re rooting for on the limited event banner, even if it’s your favorite. This is called a 50/50 split. However, if you lose the 50/50 and don’t receive the character you wanted, you can obtain the character within the next 80 pulls or before you reach soft pity (the luck-based system).

Wishing on the Standard Banner

You can wish for characters and weapons on the Standard banner, your default banner. You can use Primogems or Acquaint Fate, but we recommend saving Primogems for the limited event banners instead. The reason is that you can acquire the characters featured on the regular banner at any point in the game, just like Acquaint Fates and Wish, and they aren’t restricted to any one event in Genshin Impact.

From Limited Time Events

With a respectable quantity of Primogems offered in each patch, Genshin Impact is user-friendly and free to play. In addition, for patches that end in odd numbers (e.g., 3.5, 3.7, etc.), an event grants you a free weapon, while for patches that end in even numbers, such as 3.6 and the soon-to-be-released 3.8, you are granted a free 4-star character.

From the Spiral Abyss

The Spiral Abyss is available to Genshin Impact newcomers once they reach Adventure Rank 20. By smashing to Floor 4, Chamber 3, you can unlock Xiangling (Pyro from Floor 3, Chamber 3) and Collei (Dendro from Floor 4, Chamber 3). Particularly Xiangling, these two characters shine in the meta. You can also get Primogems from the Spiral Abyss.

From Paimon’s Bargains in the Shop

With every shop refresh, two four-star characters appear in the Starglitter Exchange tab, and you can obtain them using Masterless Starglitter. Each four-star character costs 34 Masterless Starglitter to obtain. However, unless your favorite character appears in the shop, we recommend against spending the Starglitter. Saving it for the Blackcliff weapons, some of the best free-to-play weapons is a better option.

Weapons with Crit Damage as their primary stat, such as the Blackcliff Pole, Longsword, and Slasher, can help you deal with more damage with less character perfection investment. If you want your favorite Genshin Impact character featured on the Limited Event banner, you can spend Starglitter acquiring more Intertwined Fates.

Conclusion

Every character in Genshin Impact has their viewpoint, gameplay style, and abilities. There are two tiers of character rarity: four-star and five-star. Players will require Primogems, Acquaint Fate, and Intertwined Fate to acquire characters. Exploration, participating in events, and playing character storylines are just a few ways to get primogems. Another thing you can get through the pity system is starlight and stellar dust. You can find new characters in the Shop, Spiral Abyss, Limited Time Events, Standard Banners, Standard Banners with a Time Limit, and Paimon’s Bargains. You should save up the 34 Masterless Starglitter needed for each character for Blackcliff weapons that deal with Crit Damage.
