Learn how to get playable characters in Genshin Impact! Discover methods like Wishes (Gacha), free starter characters, and Paimon's Bargains.
Hey there, Traveler! So you're wondering how to get your hands on all the awesome characters in Genshin Impact? It's a pretty straightforward process, mostly revolving around the game's Wish system, but there are a few other ways too. Let's break it down so you know exactly what to expect!
How to Obtain Characters:
- Wishes (Gacha Pulls): This is your main method! You'll use Primogems to buy Intertwined Fates or Acquaint Fates, which you then use in the Wish system. Think of it like a lottery – you never know who you'll get, but it's exciting!
- Free Starter Characters: Don't worry, you won't be alone at the start. Early on in the main Archon Quests, you'll get Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa for free. They're super helpful as you're just getting started.
- Paimon's Bargains: Keep an eye on Paimon's Bargains shop. Sometimes, you can purchase specific characters using Masterless Starglitter. It's a good way to snag a character you've been eyeing if you have the currency saved up.
