Players need to spend their Intertwined Fates to use a wish.Genshin Impact’s limited character bannersconsist of three four-star and one five-star character. Five-star characters have a higher rarity and are obviously harder to acquire, but players are guaranteed to get a five-star every 90 wishes, though they can drop much sooner.Genshin Impact’s official social media accounts have already revealed the four-star characters that will arrive on this double banner re-run:
Bennett is still one of thestrongestGenshin Impactsupportsfor most team compositions that require a stronger damage buffer or healer. However, his ideal build should be focused on stacking energy recharge and HP. One of his strengths is that he can create a lot of energy and elemental particles which allows players to refill their burst much faster.
Kojou Sara is another veryflexibleGenshin Impactcharacterand her role in the party depends on her build. Generally speaking, due to her versatility, Sara is probably best placed as a sub-DPS character, but she can also fill the DPS position at times. She also has great enabling capabilities for a couple of characters meaning that she can be used as a support as well.
When it comes to Xinyan, players should try to increase her constellations at least to the second level. This means that players may need to acquire her at least two additional times in order for her to become aviableGenshin Impactcharacter in the Spiral Abyss. Getting her to C2 will ensure that the Crit rate for the elemental burst will increase by 100%. However, it should be noted that her Elemental Burst deals more physical than Pyro damage which is important to keep in mind as it affects her DPS capabilities.
Genshin Impactis available right now for mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version also in development.
