Tips: If you are a new player. Try the Beginner’s Wish banner, as it guarantees 10 wishes, for only 8 Fates and at least one four-star character. Also, there is a pity system that rewards players with a five-star character once they reach 90 wishes. The pity gets reset if a player gets a five-star character before the pity comes into play. Check out our Genshin Impact pity system guide for more details.
