How to Get Free Characters in Genshin Impact

While the guaranteed free characters provide a solid foundation, players can also acquire additional characters by using primogems to wish on limited-time or permanent banners. Primogems can be earned through various in-game activities such as completing quests, daily commissions, and events.

By collecting 160 primogems, players can exchange them for one Intertwined Fate, which is used for wishing on the limited character banners. These banners feature exclusive 5-star characters that rotate every few weeks. Even if you don’t get the featured character, you’re guaranteed to receive a 5-star within 90 pulls thanks to the game’s pity system.

The standard banner, “Wanderlust Invocation,” also offers a chance to obtain characters using Acquaint Fates. While the characters on this banner are not limited, it’s still a good option for players looking to expand their roster.

Limited-Time Character Events

In addition to the permanent free characters and those obtainable through wishing, Genshin Impact occasionally offers limited-time events that reward players with free characters. These events typically involve completing specific quests or challenges to earn the character.

Some notable characters that have been available through limited-time events include Fischl, Beidou, Diona, and Aloy. Keep an eye out for these special events to add even more characters to your collection.

Best Genshin Impact Free Character Team

With ten free characters spanning different elements, players have plenty of options for creating powerful teams. Here’s one example of a well-rounded free-character team:

• Lynette (Anemo) – Crowd control and support
• Xiangling (Pyro) – Main DPS and elemental reactions
• Kaeya (Cryo) – Sub DPS and elemental reactions
• Barbara (Hydro) – Healing and elemental reactions

By leveling up these characters, equipping them with suitable weapons and artifacts, and mastering their abilities, you can take on even the toughest challenges in Genshin Impact without spending a dime.
