STOP pulling WRONG in Genshin Impact! 

What's your personal Pulling Ritual? 😁

me, a player since 1.0, watching this for some reason

I have such HORRIBLE BAD LUCK that I need 90 pulls EVERY TIME

Pulling strats: -Getting a 5 star character takes on average 160 pulls. Anything below 160 is very lucky. Make sure you have 160 pulls before starting to pull. Never assume an early. -While counting, losing a 50/50 raises your pullcount to 80. If you lose a 50/50 but it was early, this is lucky. -Do not ever farm pity above 40, do not farm pity with a 50/50 built up, and never farm it on a character you never want to use. The universe makes pulling an early and winning the 50/50 significantly more likely if you don't want it to happen. Be prepared. -Never pull for 4 stars. This is a trap. There is no guarantee you are ever getting the 4 star you want, not even after a thousand wishes. -Never pull on weapons. They are not worth it. They cost 240 pulls, they don't have a personality, animations, voicelines, mechanics, you barely see them ingame, and you are plenty strong to 36 star abyss without it. Weapons are for people with more money than sense. -Stop pulling immediately after getting your 5star. Don't be a fool and splurge the rest hoping for a lucky c1 or a good 4star because "you had it saved up anyway". Every time you click the 10pull, it's like a week of your life to build it back again for free.

Got bored after 2 mins. My advice is just go for what you want.

LMFAO this guy made a whole video to defend building pity fr? Bro, lemme tell u sum: you can get a five-star at ANY pity. And that's precisely why you DON'T wish on a banner of a character you don't want. This is a trap. Yall gonna lose your guaranteed in vain.

Just waste all of the primogems untill i get to know about any of my fav character is coming

Fun fact: not to hate on the creator but, it doesn't actually matter who you pull for, even if you pull a Qiqi, it's fine as long as you get who you are WANTING the most. For example, my friend asked me if she should get arlecchino, for her pros, or wanderer, because she wants him. I told her to get wanderer because that's who she wants. I don't mind if you listen to the videos advice, but I recommend to pull for who you want more than who you need for good dmg. (Besides, any character can do good dmg if well built even barbara)

17:52 and this is how people end up with 5 star characters that’s they dont want

Me having played almost daily for over a year watching this for some reason 🤔

Okay everyone sorry to disappoint but this guy messed up his graph and some things he said are incorrect (assuming my source is right, but it's much more reliable at least). Some people recorded over 20 million pulls of data to understand soft pity...The link is down at the bottom of the comment. About 4 stars: it's about 5.4% chance, just like they say, for your 8 first wishes. But there's soft pity for 4 star items: at your ninth wish, it will have a boost of 10 times the base rate, so the original 5.4% +54%, so your ninth wish has a 59.4% chance. Which means there's around 26% chance only to reach the hard 10 wish pity for 4 stars. (okay I lied in fact it's because the odds still increase by another 54% to reach 113.4% but it's pretty much the same, it's just math and you don't need to understand this bit) When it comes to 5 stars, it's a bit more complex. As they say, it's 0.6% chance every pull, but this is only until 73 wishes. Just like 4 stars, at your 74th wish, the odds will shoot up by 10 times the base rate, so 6% added to the base 0.6%. On top of all, it continues to go up every wish by another 6%, until it reaches 100% chance at 90 wishes. So, not only people are just rounding up, or rather, guessing blindly it's about 75 wishes that soft pity takes place, but on top of all they just read whatever Hoyo feeds them without doing the odds. It's natural, to think a company can't b*hit that hard, but the "1.6% consolidated rate" can't be true if you do the math otherwise. It would be illegal to claim there's a 1.6% consolidated chance in any other case. I said he's wrong, because he showed a graph that has a spike at 80 wishes. That's not the case, I don't know where he got it. The increase is continuous, doesn't vary so the odds only "spike" at 74. He was also wrong to mention it starts at 75, otherwise it would only reach 100% chance at 91 wishes. This isn't the case, as everyone got fed up hearing "90 hard pity". However, other graphs are really interesting, though blacky doesn't show these interesting graphs. At around 80 pity, most people will already have gotten their 5 star. Statistically, only 14.2% of the time or so you will have to go above this to get your 5 star. This means that there's a pretty equal distribution of 0.6% for the first 73 wishes, then it shoots up because the odds are suddenly 10 times higher, and it continues, but at 76-77 wishes it starts going down: the odds get so high with soft pity that you'll most likely get your 5 star in the 6 wishes after reaching it. Not only is there 36% of 5 stars that will appear in your first 73 pulls (even if it's slim, it takes a lot of wishes to reach soft pity), but then you get 6.6% chance, then 12.6%, and 18.6%... it just goes up and up and you would have to fail these continuously to reach the 90th wish. Also for the weapons banner it's the same old 10 times increase once you hit soft pity, also every wish increases the same, etc... You can check the link under to get the numbers I don't want to just parrot everything the article says. I just wanted to specify the base concept without you having to read it all, and those who want can go check it. However I'll still say, people are rounding up too much. Hard pity for weapons' banner is 77, not 80. Tons of interesting stuff that this article shows. Another detail worth mentioning: 5 star pulls don't reset your 4 star pity, it only takes priority. So if you failed your 9th wish for a 4 star, then you have this 113.4% chance to get a 4 star, but you get a 5 star instead. Technically, it only prevented the 4 star from triggering its over 100% chance to happen. It only means that you'll have 168.4% chance to get a 4 star on your 11th wish. It's the same as 100% chance, but it's just funny to imagine. And it also relieves people to know that there's no drawback to getting a 5 star instead of a 4 star, or almost none at least. Blacky is also wrong at 6:15 when he says pulling a 5 star resets ALL polls of pity. On top of not getting right the soft pity for weapons. And not getting that there's a soft pity for 4 stars: just go to your history after having a lot of pulls, you'll realize it's almost half the time it happens on the ninth pull and not the tenth. It's about 25% for getting it at 10 or getting it in the first 8. I just want to clear it up, I really like the videos. It's just that I was lucky through my research to find these things and I want to point mistakes where I see them, so misconceptions don't perpetuate. There's no animosity in what I said, because I don't think anyone should blame individuals for not getting these things. These kinds of truths, even when they see the light of day, don't get much attention so it's really hard for people to get to know about them. www.hoyolab.com/article/497840 Up above is the link to the full explanation of this.

for any new player never pull on weapon banner until you get all the characters you want only after that you can go ahead and wish for your favourite characters weapon next time they re run because instead of wasting primoes for weapon that you may or may not get its better off pulling for characters

you forgot to mention that if you lose the 50/50, the next time you pull a limited event character will be a guaranteed.

Clicked just to make sure there was nothing I didnt already know. There wasnt. But I am a well researched player of two years. I think this does cover every single important point for anyone who is newer or who watches less genshin content.

Don't farm pity, unless the four star you're going after is as important to your account as a five star would be. The more pity you have going into a banner with a five star you want, the less chances you have to get that five star early, before soft pity.

Just started playing, watching all your videos back 2 back, thanks for all the really good info, I have less chances of wasting resources now 😅

I've been playing genshin for almost a year. Why am I watching this video as if I don't know this

A clear explanation of an insanely complicated system

I'm just hoarding Primogems for whenever Yelan _or_ Navia show up. I don't care which, it's First-Come, First-Serve, but I'm getting them. Nothing can stop me.

Keep it up! You were one of the first Genshin Impact creators I found whose guides tremendously set me up for success so thanks again so much for your insight and just know your level of quality, editing, commentary, and helpfulness is so fantastic and on a very professional level, great work, don't give up or chase the views but I know your quality will rise to the top, and thanks again!

I remember my first account was always 90 pity and post 50/50. But once I made a new account later, my luck was a lot better. Then found that luck is different on each account due to programing or something.

Not me watching while been ar 57

The title is misleading. I didn't get how I'm pulling wrong. This video is definitely not for veteran (6 month+) players.

Everytime you're on a 50/50, just pull on silly wisher till you lose there and come back to the actual game to pull again

A trick that works almost all the time, (and it most likely is placebo), but on the weapon banner, you choose the opposite weapon from the one you want in the epitomized path. Most likely, when you reach 50/50, it will give you the opposite weapon that you chose. It seems that the system works mostly to make you have at least 1 fate point, and it has worked for me, for the few times I've done it.

My piece of advice, for new players in early mondstat and liyue try to go for a good 5 star dps for your account to make early combat easier, then as you make your way through inazuma start working on getting strong support 5 stars like yelan, kazuha, furina, baizhu, nahida, and raiden (if you cant get her c2), then start working on your other supports and sub dps units like Bennett, fischl, xingqiu, xianling, and sucrose for building the majority of the teams due to their strong synergies. After you get through inazuma and have a solid team with decent artifacts and weapons on them then you could start pulling for any character that you feel like would bring value to your account, like getting shenhe if you run cryo characters, chiori or albedo for geo teams, xianyun for plunge teams, or kokomi for any teams that need hydro and a healer. As you start getting through the endgame by finishing the story and completing zone specific world quests then at that point it doesn't matter anymore what character you pull for as long as you plan on investing into them in the long-term or if the bring value to your other characters and making your experience more fun.

7:13 just WHO is doing that in 2024

Yeah that 50/50 mechanism is true. I pulled for Navia but got Dehya instead 😢

Now I realise how unlucky I am. I get my 4 star Item after every 10 pulls, and the five stars after exactly 90 Pulls. And the baddest thing, I get to 80% only 4 star weapons and IF I get finally a character, then is this a character which I still have. And that characters are characters which I don’t play- like, Kaeya, Amber or Lisa😭 Since April I am in Genshin and play and invests a lot of time in that game. I am world level 6 and I only have Lisa, Kaeya, Xiangling, Mona, Dori, Lynette, Fréminet, Layla and Collei, Mona and Clorinde..🥺😭 Xiangling, Lynette, Lisa, Kaeya and Amber are mostly completely with their starsign (?). Only Clorinde and Fréminet I really like and I don’t like one of the others. Oh my dear.. It isn’t normal 😅 I really hope, that I get finally a character that I like to play (like Kuki, Sara, Navia, Shenhe, YunJin or characters like that). 😅 Sorry for my English😅 but yeah.. #️⃣ unluckyperson 😂🥲

Get your Pity, then, wish about 40-50 times. By the time a new character you want comes by, there will be 1-2 big events that you will get PLENTY of primos for doing. Then, rinse and repeat. I have about half of the playable roster frok doing this.

Even In low pity .... building pity on the banner with a 5 star you dont want is not a good decision... there is always possibility of winning 50 50 under 74, so be ok with that outcome as well.. for example for me i want Navia but next phase furina there and if have good 4 stars ... i don't mind c1 furina and even if i lose 5050 its fine bc its carry over to Navia banner so here its 100% ok to build pity... as the video says you need to careful with your promo especially if your a F2P like me ... Remember dont pull on weapon banners

On the "building pity" thing, u do have to be considerate about it. Like I do it too, I wanna own all the 4*s so I'll do a 10-pull, but once I lost the 50/50 & then got Kokomi in the next 10-pull. Doesn't happen a lot, but careful if ur saving a guarantee.

Omg I love all of your videos! >w< they are so informative and you explain everything in such a sweet and easy to understand way💕 By the way, I wanted to say that at 11:19 you explain how each banner has separate pity, but just in case any new player is reading this: both of the event banners (the time limited ones) share pity. So it doesn’t matter if you pull on one and then you want to switch to the other ❤ Edit: also! In the limited weapon banner you can get standard 4* characters but not 5* characters, only 5* weapons. In the limited character banner you can get standard 5* characters but not standard 5* weapons :3

I hate to say this but..... this info is not 100% right. Its been proven over the time that 0.6% for 5 star is not true. Genshin uses a way worse system. I will go by memory as some mod deleted the tread that had picture of 6000 people pulling rate. 1-20 you have 5.2 - 4.6 chance to pull a 5 star and gets lower with every wish. Once you hit 21-73 your rate drops to 2.3 - 2.6%. After 74 you have 8% to get a 5 star and increases by 4% for every pull. So 75 is 10%, 76 is 14, 77 is 16, 78 is 18 and 79 is 20. After 80 it drops back to 2.3% rate till 89 that has 80% chance to pull. The pulling system in this game is designed to trick you to pull for more, thinking you will win next one. The double 5 star that people get is due to increased pity. If you build pity --- its save to go from 20-60, but pass this point the number goes over 2.6% and increases little by little to 74. How do i know that? Well i been playing genshin since 1.0 and i used up the system to my advantage. Instead of using 10 wishes after 74, i just go singles and once i get 5 star i stop. This increases the chances to get a new limited 5 star on next patch by a lot and it saves primogems in long runs. If you pull double 5 (if same character), you will have way less currency for next patch. 95% of cons are wortless and only a few characters benefit from c1 and even then its mostly just a hotfix for them (like Hu tao). Also as free to play, you will skip 4-5 banners till you get a character you want 100% so keep that in mind.

i lost my 50/50 when pulling for furina and got a jean.. im currently at 20 pity, and im playing genshin for so many hours to get a lot of primos and get my furina home.

Just lost my 50/50 to keqing 😭

"You could make a religion out of this" ~ Bill Wurtz probably

Advice for the new players, make sure you build a good dps character AND a good support. You'll see a massive difference with an off-field support like kuki :3

Honestly 700 views for a video of this quality is criminal

OMG.....you are an angel. thank you for this video. love you!! was so confused when i hear ppl talking about soft pity, hard pity...and 50/50....now i understand so well, u explained it so smoothly and simple...thank you thank you...♥

Update I previously I said that I didn't get wanderer by 20 pulls but after that I didn't spin even once and I collected for furina and guess what ryt after it was available I did my first 10 pull for furina and I got it on my first attempt 😭😭🤧

Just pulling on waifus😂

Started 3 months ago and pulled Jean on the standard banner. I didn't know how lucky I was until now (She's already lvl 70) 😈

Technically soft pity starts at the 74th pull which is the first pull with increased chance for 5* with roughly 6.6% of getting a 5* (on character banner). Actually i'm not 100% sure it's 6.6% but it should be something like [6.6%-6.8125%). Also in the video is said that every 10th pull is garanteed 4* that is true unless that 10th pull happens to be a 5* in which case the 4* will appear on the 11th pull.

Saving this to show friends who are newbies to Genshin ^^

I an new player i lost my first 50/50 for qiqi and now i am 75 pity 😢

i laugh when hear 50/50. it's like you enter the abyss of gacha, then the system say "i think next time" 😃

This man just gave me luck I pulled on a banner with the one wish I had left over and bro gave me a 4 star (it was Kaveah)

standard banner devs: let's make it little hard limited time character banner devs:not hard enough weapon banner devs: i said hard chronicle banner devs: perfect

Yall can complain as much as u want, hoyo set their game like this to force u to spend

You should update the title to say "for beginners ". Im sure they'll appreciate the info.

me "I got all the 5 stars I want, next time that weapon is out Ima pull on it....." new character comes out me "I WANT!!!!!"

New to GI started few days ago i did a spin in normal permanent character banner which uses that pink stuff and got 5 star weapon like wtf???? But atleast got smth ig

For a gacha system this is the first time a company thinks of our wallets

I'm the type of person who pulls to get at least one copy of any 4 star I like, even the non-meta ones, so I do pity farming. So I ended up in a situation where I was really close to soft pity because of previous 4 star pulls, but I wanted to pull on the Clorinde/Alhaitham banners because my Bennett was c0 and I wanted that 1st con. I had 50/50, so my hope was that if I accidentally get a 5 star I hoped I would lose the 50/50. And that's exactly what happened, I lost the 50/50 to Qiqi, got my Bennett and then guaranteed Furina next banner, and then also won 50/50 on Sigewinne.

Got to the 80 pull threshold limit for weapons, was pulling for Arlecchino's weapon, got a Favonius book. Nearly quit the game right there after recently returning.

only 10 pulls for me. you can't get double 5 stars in single pulls.

blacky what r u doing making genshin videos i thought u only did warframe

I don't know many other people who agree but the two charcters that i won't the most are diluc and venti

I would never "build pity" if my next 5 star was guaranteed (i.e. I missed previous 50/50 to standard character). You end up accidentally getting an early 5 star you didn't want and now you have to win another 50/50 on a future 5 star you want. It doesn't matter how disciplined you are, you could get an early(30 pity) 5 star and it could be another 180 pulls. I would recommend looking up previous banner reruns as well as leak channels to plan in advance.

Just pull for what you want and whats more fun to play with. I'll honestly pull for people like Keqing because of her "Vergil Playstile Vibes" when I'll get Genshin on Xbox in November 😅.

My tips before I watch the video: Stick to your favorite 5-star SS or S-tier DPS characters. You'll only need two, but you'll want to prioritize those first. Second, focus on your sub-dps and supports, these'll often be a mix of 4-stars and 5-stars so plan banner pulls when there's a high chance of BOTH, sometimes it's easier to get a 5-star furina than it is getting a 5 constellation Bennet. After that, you'll want to start weighing the damage bonus gained from the weapon banner or pulling more constellations, whichever you feel will fit your account best. A lot of weapons today are hyper-specific to certain characters, making them a lot less value to your overall account. With these strategies, I've been able to 12-star the abyss with no problems for a while now. But I've been playing since launch(though I also wished for quiqui back in the day lol...) Once you have your two solid "meta" team, start pulling for who you think will be the most enjoyable to play. -Powercreep is real, don't be afraid to skip -Don't build pity -Expect pity around 70 pulls and begin singles -Don't be afraid to backseat characters that wont fit into your new team -Cheapest clear team I've found is Dendro MC, Xingcho, Kuki, & flex -Always wait till the end of the month to decide to pull or not, key information regarding teams and characters might come out

I am beginner didn't know anything should I save gems for raiden or furina cause those are only characters I know 😢

building pity is all about knowing how many pull for a 5 star charater that you don't want, is a good deal for you

If only Fate Points carry over... Boo! I recently tried to farm pity a little bit, and got Nilou instead of building up for Yelan, at a mere pity 45 (and beating 50/50 too). But I did kinda want Nilou, more secondary than the primary Yelan, so somewhat lucky? This also happened in the past for Baizhu and Ganyu, resulting me in getting 2 nice characters despite wanting to simply build pity, at mere pity 30s each and both beating 50/50, and they were back to back on the same day.

I just got Jean in first try after watching this video

As I was watching this video, I got Furina

How can you press the pull button wrong?

i know how you do the archon quest in Sumeru then Alhaitham help you to get rid of eremites and you pull on his banner and boom in 10 pulls he shows up 😁.

Instructions unclear, accidentally pulled 10 Qiqis

I took your title as a sign to stop chasing for c1 bennet this banner and im guaranteed. Everything is scary

i pulled beidou, baizhu & ga ming on the same pull

There is also a soft pity for 4 stars with the 8th wish

It's not mentioned but iirc, Character Limited Banner 1 and 2 share pity counter.

So does this mean I won't get my furina :( Because im at 49 pity

Thats all my known things😂 I thought i will win all of my 50/50 after watching this😂

Bro I'm lucky that I got both clorinde and alhaithem

The only time i do rituals was at neuvi banner because i was so desperate for c1, other than that i just pull whenever i want 😅

Wrong, that so is wrong on the "farming pity" (it's building pity, no one says 'farming'). People don't say pity does not carry over, people say don't built pity because if you accidentally get an early 5 star (which is an entirely possible thing to happen) and you get a character you didn't want or like, then you just wasted a 5 star pull on a character you DID want in the future. It's why most, if not all, people who tell those who DO "build pity" is to only ever pull on that banner if you absolutely do not mind getting the 5 star character incase you get an early.

Lol I shouldn't have watched this. Now I know that it's weird that if only lost one 50/50 of the last 6 5* I tried for.. but lost EVERY 50/50 when rolling their weapons...

I pulled for furina and i got dehya 😭😭

I quit genshin because of not getting single 5 star weapon, character, and artifacts and i got addicted to it and im feeling sad for no reason like the game was giving me expression but this game is really good but don't make your self addicted to it it will make your life little irresponsible

Me watching this as an AR60 who had never won a 50/50 and has been playing since launch and has no primogems: Hmm yes I needed this LMAO

Holy hell, blacky has a GI account. Please as a WF player also come back to genshin my guy

Save up to get your favorite characters, simple

So heres a thought that may seem stupid and wrong but whoud it be possible to use single pulls to builed some pity and them a ten pull to get a possible 5* item or charachter

I lost at 50/50 in limited banner and that wasted all of my primogems. So i create new account and then i start playing it, in my first 10 wish i got three 4 star character. After that when I'm about to pull for Alhaitham, I quickly go to the place where i got lucky for my first wish, and surprisingly I got Alhaitham at my second 10th draw. Am I just being lucky?

Since i am planning to pick yelan in 4.8, Which Bloom team is better ? 1. Alhaitham/kuki/nahida/xinquiu 2 Yelan/Xinqui/Kuki/Nahida suggest me pls!😊

70 to 90 pulls. Wtf that's dumb.

For the past 2 years i saved for furina but sadly i lost the 50/50 and im out of wishes all thanks to diluc😢

Also when you fail 2 50/50 on the time limited banner you have 25% chance to get tthe five stars after failing the 3rd 50/50 then 100% chance to get the five stars if you fail the 4rd pull, it is a radiance

This is interesting to know all this. I did a pull on the previous limited banner with Wanderer and Baizu and I farmed primogems and some fates and I literally won the 50/50 with Wanderer. I’m really hoping the same luck happens again with Clorinde. Hoping for the best.

does pity counts separate for banner 1 and banner 2 or 5 pulls in banner 1 and 5 pulls in banner 2 combines for 10 pity? i need to know

I get my 5 stars at 40-60 pulls… I remember getting chiori at 6 pity I HAVE THE BEST ACCOUNT EVER!

Soft pity stars from 74****

Bro I thought a 4 star on any wish is 10% not 5.1%

Hi GIBIacky! I love your Genshin Impact content and have learned a lot from your videos. Could you please make a detailed guide on how to effectively use the Serenitea Pot? I'd love tips on how to maximize the realm's benefits. Thanks so much!

I lost my 50/50 on wandrer banner and i lost it again on alhaitham banner so the 50/50 reset on every banner🗿

I was hoping you'll not going to say lossing the pity to qiqi cuz im really tired of it people keep saying that (cuz I love qiqi and she's my best character) but I was totally got hit hard when you said just diluc when lossing the pity. . .xD

I guess I figured all of this out already.
