But acquiring these characters (and powerful weapons) hinges on the game&#8217;s <strong>gacha system<\/strong>, known as <strong>Wishes<\/strong>. Understanding the <strong>pull rates<\/strong> is crucial for any Genshin Impact player aiming to optimize their Primogem spending and manage expectations.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the base pull rate for a <strong>5-star character<\/strong> in Genshin Impact is <strong>0.6%<\/strong>. For <strong>5-star weapons<\/strong>, the rate is slightly better at around <strong>0.7%<\/strong>. However, these are merely base rates. The game employs a <strong>pity system<\/strong> that significantly impacts your chances of obtaining these rare items.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decoding_the_Pity_System_Your_Ally_in_the_Gacha\"><\/span>Decoding the Pity System: Your Ally in the Gacha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The pity system is designed to guarantee players a 5-star item after a certain number of pulls, even if luck isn&#8217;t on their side. There are two key components to understand: <strong>soft pity<\/strong> and <strong>hard pity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soft_Pity_The_Gentle_Nudge\"><\/span>Soft Pity: The Gentle Nudge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Soft pity<\/strong> kicks in around the <strong>70th to 80th pull<\/strong>.  Before then, you&#8217;re stuck with that slim 0.6% chance.  After 73 unsuccessful attempts, the gacha will offer an additional <strong>6% chance<\/strong> with every new pull.  This means that your chances of pulling a 5-star increase dramatically with each pull within that range, and many players report obtaining a 5-star character or weapon around the <strong>75th or 76th wish<\/strong>.  The exact mechanics aren&#8217;t officially disclosed by Mihoyo (now HoYoverse), but community data strongly suggests this gradual increase.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hard_Pity_The_Guaranteed_Reward\"><\/span>Hard Pity: The Guaranteed Reward<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Hard pity<\/strong> is a guaranteed pity which ensures that players receive a <strong>5-star item<\/strong> after a specific number of wishes. For character banners, the <strong>hard pity trigger occurs at the 90th wish<\/strong>, guaranteeing the featured 5-star character if it hasn&#8217;t been obtained earlier. Similarly, weapon banners also have a hard pity, though the specifics differ slightly (more on that in the FAQs).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Star_Pull_Rates_The_More_Frequent_Reward\"><\/span>4-Star Pull Rates: The More Frequent Reward<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While 5-star items are the ultimate goal, <strong>4-star characters and weapons<\/strong> are valuable additions to any roster.  Unlike 5-stars, you&#8217;re <strong>guaranteed at least one 4-star or higher item every 10 pulls<\/strong>. However, this doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you&#8217;ll get a 4-star <em>character<\/em>. It could be a weapon. While precise rates fluctuate slightly between banners, the general pull rates for 4-star items hover around <strong>94.3% for 3-star weapons<\/strong> and <strong>2.5% chance of dropping for 4-Star weapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Managing_Your_Primogems_Strategic_Wishing\"><\/span>Managing Your Primogems: Strategic Wishing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding the pull rates and pity system allows you to make informed decisions about how to spend your <strong>Primogems<\/strong>, the game&#8217;s premium currency. It&#8217;s crucial to save your Primogems strategically, especially if you&#8217;re targeting a specific character or weapon.  Knowing how many Primogems you need for a certain number of pulls helps you plan effectively. Keep in mind that you&#8217;ll need <strong>160 Primogems for one wish<\/strong> or <strong>1600 Primogems for 10 wishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Considerations_Banner_Types_and_5050\"><\/span>Important Considerations: Banner Types and 50\/50<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to know what type of banner that you&#8217;re spending your Primogems on. Each of the banners has different pull mechanics.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Character_Event_Banner\"><\/span>Character Event Banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This banner features a specific <strong>5-star character<\/strong> and three rate-up <strong>4-star characters<\/strong>. If you obtain a 5-star character and it isn&#8217;t the featured character on the banner, the next 5-star character you pull is guaranteed to be the featured character. This is known as the &#8220;50\/50&#8221; mechanic. The rates for this banner are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5-Star Character<\/strong>: 0.6%<\/li>\n<li><strong>4-Star Character or Weapon<\/strong>: 5.1%<\/li>\n<li><strong>3-Star Weapon<\/strong>: 94.3%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weapon_Event_Banner\"><\/span>Weapon Event Banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This banner features two specific <strong>5-star weapons<\/strong> and five rate-up <strong>4-star weapons<\/strong>. The rates for this banner are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5-Star Weapon<\/strong>: 0.7%<\/li>\n<li><strong>4-Star Weapon<\/strong>: 6%<\/li>\n<li><strong>3-Star Weapon<\/strong>: 93.3%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_5050_System\"><\/span>Understanding the 50\/50 System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When pulling on a character event banner, if you pull a <strong>5-star character<\/strong> before reaching hard pity (90 wishes), there\u2019s a <strong>50% chance<\/strong> it will be the featured character. If you lose the 50\/50 (meaning you get a standard 5-star character), your next 5-star character <em>is guaranteed<\/em> to be the featured character.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Is_it_better_to_do_single_pulls_or_10_pulls\"><\/span>1. Is it better to do single pulls or 10 pulls?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s <strong>no mathematical difference<\/strong> between doing single pulls and 10 pulls in Genshin Impact. The odds remain the same. Ten pulls are just a convenience to save time. However, single pulls are usually considered better.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Does_pity_carry_over_between_banners\"><\/span>2. Does pity carry over between banners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Yes<\/strong>, pity <em>does<\/em> carry over between banners of the <em>same type<\/em>. For example, if you perform 75 wishes on one character event banner and then a new character event banner releases, those 75 wishes will carry over to the new banner. However, pity is tracked separately for character, weapon, and standard banners.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_number_is_hard_pity\"><\/span>3. What number is hard pity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Hard pity<\/strong> for character banners is at <strong>90 wishes<\/strong>. For weapon banners, it is at <strong>80 wishes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Is_soft_pity_70_or_75\"><\/span>4. Is soft pity 70 or 75?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Soft pity<\/strong> generally begins to ramp up around the <strong>70th pull<\/strong>, with the chances of getting a 5-star increasing significantly with each pull after that. Most players get a 5-star around pulls 75-76.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_many_Primogems_do_I_need_for_90_wishes\"><\/span>5. How many Primogems do I need for 90 wishes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You need <strong>14,400 Primogems<\/strong> to perform 90 wishes. Since each wish costs 160 Primogems, 90 wishes will cost 160 * 90 = 14,400 Primogems.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_is_the_rarest_pull_in_Genshin_Impact\"><\/span>6. What is the rarest pull in Genshin Impact?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While subjective and based on player preferences, some of the &#8220;rarest&#8221; pulls are considered to be <strong>5-star characters that are either highly sought after or are no longer featured on banners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Does_pity_reset_after_getting_a_5-star\"><\/span>7. Does pity reset after getting a 5-star?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Yes<\/strong>, pity <em>resets<\/em> every time you obtain a 5-star item. The counter starts back at zero for the next 5-star.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_How_many_pulls_is_8000_Primogems\"><\/span>8. How many pulls is 8000 Primogems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>8000 Primogems will get you <strong>50 pulls<\/strong> (8000 \/ 160 = 50).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Why_didnt_I_get_a_5-star_at_90_wishes\"><\/span>9. Why didn&#8217;t I get a 5-star at 90 wishes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t get a 5-star at 90 wishes, double-check that you performed all 90 wishes on the <em>same banner<\/em>. Pity counters are tracked <em>separately<\/em> for each banner type.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_How_many_wishes_is_28800_Primogems\"><\/span>10. How many wishes is 28800 Primogems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>28,800 Primogems equates to <strong>180 wishes<\/strong> (28,800 \/ 160 = 180). This amount is often used as a benchmark to guarantee a desired 5-star character, accounting for potentially losing the 50\/50 and needing to hit hard pity twice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Is_the_Beginners_Banner_worth_it\"><\/span>11. Is the Beginner&#8217;s Banner worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Beginner&#8217;s Banner<\/strong> is good for newer players but it&#8217;s not always worth pulling on. While offering a discount, it has limited pulls and doesn&#8217;t feature rate-up characters or weapons.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_How_long_does_it_take_to_save_14400_Primogems_for_90_wishes\"><\/span>12. How long does it take to save 14400 Primogems (for 90 wishes)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Saving 14,400 Primogems can take around <strong>6 months<\/strong> with free-to-play. With a constant stream of daily commissions and events, it can shorten the time substantially.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Can_I_get_a_5-star_in_20_pulls\"><\/span>13. Can I get a 5-star in 20 pulls?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Yes<\/strong>, it&#8217;s possible to get a 5-star in as little as 1 wish. While the base rate is low, luck can strike at any time.
