How to Wish in Genshin Impact There are a few low-tier characters you get for free by playing through the beginnings of the Mondstadt story in Genshin Impact, but Wishing is the only way you're going to get S-tier characters, or close to. You don't need the best characters in the game to progress with the story, but having a decent team with back-up options will help you clear content quicker, and assist in completing levels in The Spiral Abyss. This late-game challenge arena offers many rewards for clearing its levels, including Primogems, Mora, Talent materials, and Artifacts. You need to go to the 'Wish' submenu from the main menu to find Banners to Wish on. To Wish in Genshin Impact, you're going to have to spend Fate on Banners. Different Banners have a different pool of 5-Star and 4-Star characters, but there are also 5-Star, 4-Star, and 3-Star weapons included in each Banner's item pool. To unlock the ability to Wish on your account, you'll need to complete the 'Prologue, Act I: The Outlander Who Caught the Wind - Knights of Favonius' Archon Quest first. Once you do, you can click on the 'Wish' submenu when you bring up the main menu to take you to the Banners section. Or tap the Primogem icon at the top of the screen if playing on mobile. Here, you can spend blue-coloured Acquaint Fate to Wish on Wanderlust Invocation and Beginners' Wish, or the pink-and-blue-coloured Intertwined Fate on character event Banners and the Epitome Invocation weapon Banner. To see what characters are included in each Banner at the moment, make sure to check out our next and current Banner page. Now that Genshin Impact 3.1 is here, and you can take part in Fecund Blessings and Charity and Creativity during Of Ballads and Brews for a free Missive Windspear weapon, explore the desert for new Dendroculus locations, and conquer the Garden of Endless Pillars Domain. If you're just starting your Sumeru journey, check out our pages on Sumeru Reputation, Tree of Dreams, Sumeru craftable weapons, the Universal Fungus Domain, and Nilotpala Lotus locations. For time-limited events, you'll have to be the right Adventure Rank, and as for spending those Primogems you can now Wish with Fate for Cyno. As always, you can visit our tier list, learn how Pity and 50/50 works, and see what the next and current Banners are.
