How to reroll mini guide

How should I reroll?

There will be two main types of reroll. Adventurer level 5 and Adventurer level 7

https://edenofgaming.com/genshin-impact-reroll-guide/

Pick whatever you want. Rates are low enough that reroll is basically required

Who should I reroll for

Reroll Tier

T0 – Diluc, Mona

T0.5 – Venti, QiQi

T1 – Keqing

T2 – Jean

Reason why venti isn’t T0 is because he’s on rate up banner so u have some chance to pull him by just playing 

What should I get from web event

If you plan on mass rerolling, web event might be a waste of time. Keep in mind you have a few days after launch to try to scramble for something. Go for the 4 star artifacts.

How Pity Works on Multiple Banners

based off fine detail in Detail tab

Character Event Wish

50% chance to get a featured 5☆ character upon first 5☆ pull (same with featured 4☆)

100% chance to get a featured 5☆ character upon next 5☆ pull IF your previous 5☆ was not a featured character (same with featured 4☆)

➩ guaranteed 5☆ after 90 pulls, pity count will reset after obtaining a 5☆

➩ same with 4☆ with 10 pulls , pity count will reset after obtaining a 4☆

➦ This resets after every featured character pull, meaning you are guaranteed to get a featured 5☆ character every 180 pulls, guaranteed featured 4☆ character every 20 pulls.

Weapon Event Wish

75% chance to get featured 5☆ weapons upon first 5☆ pull (same with featured 4☆)

100% chance to featured 5☆ weapon upon next 5☆ pull IF your previous 5☆ was not a featured weapon (same with featured 4☆)

➩ guaranteed 5☆ after 80 pulls, pity count will reset after obtaining a 5☆

➩ same with 4☆ with 10 pulls, pity count will reset after obtaining a 4☆

➦ This resets after every featured weapon pull, meaning you are guaranteed to get a featured 5☆ weapon every 160 pulls, guaranteed featured 4☆ weapon every 20 pulls.

Standard Event Wish

➩ guaranteed 5☆ either weapon or character after 90 pulls, pity count will reset after obtaining a 5☆

➩ same with 4☆ with 10 pulls, pity count will reset after obtaining a 4☆

As confirmed by customer support, pities do carry over different featured banners as they do in Honkai.

➦ For example, if you’re 60 pulls into pity in the Character Event Wish (Venti) it will carry over to the next Character Event Wish (different character) and you would only need to pull 30 times to reach the pity. 

➦ Pities do not carry over from different kinds of banners. For example, it will not carry over from Character Event Wish to Standard Event Wish.

Single pulls will count towards pity.

➦ You will still get the increased chance of getting a 4* or above within each 10-wish set, singles or multi. Your exact pity count can be counted from the History tab from each banner.

Additional Notes: 

These are unconfirmed, based on the monetization test on CN in the Beginner Guide  which outlines most of what I wrote down about the pity system oops

➦ In a 10-wish set the 4☆ pity roll may have increased rates of pulling a 5☆

➦ If your remaining pulls until your 5☆ pity is less than 10 when you reach a 4☆ pity, you will always get a 5☆ on that pity. 

➦ For example, if your 4☆ pity will occur on pull 85 you will receive a 5☆ on that pity because the next pity would only be 5 pulls. 

If you are looking to maximize rates and pulls, single pulling is the best option. Looking at your pity count through history will also help.

Wish Banner Rates

How much would it cost for you to max your character?

Prior To Global Launch (CN Beta)

This, it’s extremely hard to get the person you want you might need to spend 1-2k to get 1 hero maybe that you care about.

For example:

Keqing – cheese puzzles big dps

Mona – so fun mage crazy iframe buff

Venti – op group speed etc 

QiQi – big heal for team on 2 skill + MLB = full team revive

Source: Megashield

After Global Launch

At 1.6% chance and 160 gems for a pull, it takes 90 pulls for a 5* = 90*160 = 14,400 gems (~$180).

According to the above:

➩ guaranteed 5☆ either weapon or character after 90 pulls, pity count will reset after obtaining a 5☆

100% chance to get a featured 5☆ character upon next 5☆ pull IF your previous 5☆ was not a featured character 

You are guaranteed a featured 5* at 180 pulls = 28,800 gems (~360).

To guarantee max MLB Venti you need to spend at most 28,800*7 = 201,600 gems

Expect to spend at least double or x5 this amount for other non-banner 5* depends on your luck.
