How to get Characters in Genshin Impact
1. Obtaining Characters through Wishes
Genshin Impact is a free-to-play game with a gacha element tacked to it. So, while the game starts with a character named “Traveller” and doesn’t require you to pay to unlock some characters, others can only be claimed by random “pulling” from a pool of weapons and characters using in-game or real currency.
The most common method of acquiring characters is by using Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate and then performing a gacha pull called Wishes. Acquaint Fate, the standard wish gives you the chance to acquire characters or weapons by using wish mechanics. While Intertwined Fate can be used on Special Character Event and Weapon Events. The game will let you know which exact reward you’re likely to get from a wish– but it’s not guaranteed.
Luckily, there is a “pity system” in Genshin Impact for players who get too many 3 stars or 4 stars pull without achieving the 5 star item or characters such as – after nine consecutive Wishes without a four-star character or weapon, you’ll get one on the tenth wish and, if you don’t get a 5 star character/Item even after 99 consecutive Wishes, you’ll get one on the 100th Wish.
Players can buy unlimited Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate with Primogems, a special currency in Genshin Impact. You can also get intertwined and Acquaint Fate in exchange for Masterless Stardust, capped up to 5 exchanges per month.
Lastly, players can use Masterless Starglitter to buy guaranteed characters from the in game shop itself.
Do note that Starglitter is extremely rare will require you to perform many wishes before you have a considerable amount. Players receive Masterless 2x Starglitter every 4-star weapon they get through wishing or summoning 4 or 5 star characters that they already own already.
