Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Primogem Count for Version 5.0

Genshin Impact players will be able to obtain a hefty number of pulls in Version 5.0, as a recent chart outlines the estimated Primogem count for the upcoming patch. While Genshin Impact deals with a lot of currencies for its gacha, it all ultimately comes down to the almighty Primogem. Having enough funds for a desired banner is crucial for any player, whether they’re a newcomer to the game, or a veteran with a stacked roster.

When it comes to securing a 5-Star character in Genshin Impact, it’s important for players to always have enough funds to guarantee a pull. While this can be accomplished by purchasing Genesis Crystals and turning them into Primogems, it’s generally considered a last resort for the vast majority of players. Regularly doing commissions, exploring new zones, and completing the Spiral Abyss are an inexhaustible source of Primogems. However, not all patches are made equal in Genshin Impact, which is where estimated Primogem counts come in handy.

The latest chart, freshly updated after the latest Genshin Impact developer livestream, was provided by spletnik_fatui, and is valid from August 28, 2024, to October 9, 2024, the duration of Version 5.0. The estimated Primogem count for Version 5.0 is the biggest it’s been since the launch of Version 1.0, as even Free-to-Play players will be able to obtain 125 Intertwined Wishes by doing all the content.

Genshin Impact: Estimated Primogem Count for Version 5.0

The Event Banners for Version 5.0 will feature Mualani and Kazuha in the first half, while the second half will be headlined by Kinich and Raiden. Xilonen is expected to fulfill a similar role to Kazuha, which somewhat lowers the value of his banner. While Raiden is a powerful Electro character in her own right, she does require significant investment compared to Clorinde. As for the newcomers, both Kinich and Mualani are expected to be strong hypercarries, further boosted by upcoming Natlan characters, but their playstyle is niche.

Genshin Impact players who manage to hold onto their Primogems in Version 5.0 will be able to guarantee a Xilonen in Version 5.1, and then have enough time to save up for Mavuika in Version 5.3. While subsequent patches will likely not have such a generous amount of Primogems to earn, Genshin Impact has made changes to its gacha for the benefit of the player. Starting from Version 5.0, Weapon Banners will only require one Fate Point as opposed to two, and 50:50 pulls have effectively been converted into 55:45.
