Genshin Impact: How The Pity System Works

Diona’s support capabilities go far beyond providing shields and healing your party. If you prefer a Pyro or Electro DPS character, Diona can help out in dealing additional damage to enemies using Melt and Superconduct reacti


Since the two featured five-star characters each have their own banners (Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2), players need not worry about pulling the "wrong" limited five-star, as it's not possible. But, on the weapon banner, both the limited weapons are on the same one. So, if a player successfully pulls the limited five-star weapon, they can still "lose" by getting the wrong

Even when the game moves away from its exploration aspect and quest-lines become the focus. When players are dropped into one of many dungeons -- or whose side activities laboriously have you hopping from A to B...back to A again...and then literally back to that same B point straight-after -- combat too is another area where Genshin Impact makes both meaningful but also a pleasure in engaging with. On the surface the set-up may not entirely be all that special; characters have their own pre-determined role of regular DPS, two-handed heavy-hitters or ranged whereby one of six elemental classes is assigned. The appeal lies in dabbling with the make-up of your party, of which you can have up to four characters that you can switch in-and-out on the fly. Combat is fast, frantic and at its best allows players to go wild with the elemental possibilities on offer.

But rarely does the monetization side of Genshin Impact get in the way of what feels first and foremost like an open-world adventure brimming with diverse and intriguing content to invest in. Content that isn't just another fetch quest or another handful of items to gather, but a puzzle to work out, a chest to reach, or in the briefest of spots, a curious little spot of world-building to unravel. Grind is an eventuality once you start to near the high-teens and low twenties of your Adventure Rank. Adventure Rank being your character's defining "level" of sorts whose meter can be fed through completing quests and achieving certain milestones. That reliance on levels does unfortunately rub the wrong way at points, especially when it becomes a barrier to later quests, story-based or otherwise. And while setting a minimum level cap on quests can be read as gentle persuasion to explore more of the environment, the abrupt nature doesn't always feel entirely warranted. Particularly when the main story takes a dramatic turn and you find you can't continue on that thread because your Adventure Rank (or AR for short) is one or two levels too low. So it's to the daily Commission Quests or some other similarly short-term activity on the side, for the time being.

Essentially, in very short summary , a four-star weapon or character is guaranteed every 10 wishes, a five-star character on the character Banners is guaranteed every 90 wishes, and a five-star weapon is guaranteed on the weapon Banner every 80 wis


Updated on January 2, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: With each Element in Genshin Impact, the Traveler’s mechanics change and they operate differently on the battlefield. That also affects their role during combat, giving each Element its own build. After acquiring many new Elements, the Traveler finally gets their hands on the Pyro Element. Of course, a new Element means a new Pyro Traveler build in Genshin Impact , which means more artifacts and weapons to work with. This guide will be updated to include the best Pyro Traveler build in Genshin Impa

Though the story elements won't be to everyone's taste -- and as such, the efforts the game makes to inject a sense of drama and interpretation stakes can fall flat and veer into being completely off-putting -- the sheer breadth and scale that genshin 6.0 Impact offers means that the brief lows in no way impact on the many lofty highs offered up. A free-to-play game whose content rivals the more higher-budgeted AAA releases of the past few years. Where miHoYo's inspirations and references may be a little too on-the-nose or obvious in parts, it's similarly made up for via its wealth of content and of an exploration element that is well designed, but more importantly brilliantly emergent. In one moment, it might be the intrigue of a distant landmark, or in another the wild and flashy power-trip that is its elemental-based combat. Wherever it takes you, Genshin Impact is a more-than-convincing proposition, not least for those adamant on never spending a single cent in-game. The grind to get there may not always feel wholly natural or that players are genuinely being left to wander without restraint, but Genshin Impact's meticulous approach to environment design above all pulls through in many wonderful ways. Crafting one of the year's more immersive and surprisingly rich open-world RPGs.
