The characters in Genshin Impact are the pillars of having fun while playing the game. Each character in Genshin Impact has their own set of abilities, mechanics, and vision. The rarity of the characters is divided into two – four-star and five-star. Four-star characters are not limited to banners and are easy to get (1 in 10 moves guaranteed) while five-star characters are rare (based on pure luck; 1 in 80 guaranteed). To understand how to get five-star characters, you need to understand how the sin system works (which we'll go over later in this article). In this guide, let's look at how to get characters in Genshin Impact.

To get characters in Genshin Impact, there are three main resources that you need – Primogems and/or Entwined Fate and Acquaint Fate. These resources are what let you wish on the banners. Similarly, as you wish for characters and weapons, you also get Masterless Starglitter on every successful four-star draw and Masterless Stardust on every successful three-star draw.

Primogems are the main resource for getting characters in Genshin Impact. They are obtained in several ways – exploration, event participation, surveys, character demos, daily commissions, playing character stories, challenging the abyss, checking mail for maintenance rewards, opening chests, doing quests, special web events and more.

In Genshin Impact, 160 Primogems equals an Intertwined or Aquaint Fate, which is used to wish characters on Limited Event banners and Standard banners. The easiest way to get Primogems is by participating in events as they give you at least 420 Primogems.
