Genshin Impact: Essential tips to collect all characters

In this article, learn the essential tips to collect all the characters in Genshin Impact.

Necessary tips to collect all Genshin Impact characters

Ready for update events

Genshin Impact often launches major update events with large amount of valuable rewards for each new update. That's the way to make these updates more interesting and engaging for gamers. In many recent update events, Genshin Impact even gave away the characters for free.

For example, Fleeting Colors in Flight of version 2.4 allowed the player to choose one of all the 4-star characters from Liyue. Then is another chance to get free Xingqiu from Genshin Impact 2.6 update event. Everyone should complete all previous quests and level up to be eligible for these events.

Visit Paimon's Store

Players should visit Paimon's shop every month to see the 2 purchasable characters. If those characters are not available, use 34 Starglitter to own them.

The two characters currently purchasable in Paimon's Bargains Shop are Xingqiu and Ningguang. This store only has 4-star characters, so it is not possible to get 5-star characters here. In addition to the characters, gamers can also get 4-star weapons from this store for those characters.

Saving Raw Stones

Genshin Impact players can only get 5-star characters from the prayer banner. There are 2 types of banners to obtain characters in Genshin Impact using two different types of Relationships:

1. Banner character requesting the King of Love.
2. The standard banner asks for Relativity.

Character banners are refreshed in each update. Each version has 2 stages with 1-2 character banners in each stage. In the upcoming update, there will be 3 character banners, including 1 new banner and 2 returned characters.

Moreover, each banner has 3 4-star characters, including new and old characters. For example, Yunjin is the newest 4-star character, while Shenhe and Xiao's banners are replayed in Genshin Impact 2.4.

Get all the characters for free

Genshin Impact players can also get some characters from the permanent events and the beginner banners for free. Here are all the quests and events to do to get all the free characters in this game:

1. Inazuma Fashion Introductory Quest for Kaeya.
2. The Knight Quest from the Wind for Amber.
3. The Fireworks quest in the book page for Lisa.
4. Baptism of Song event for Barbara.
5. 3rd floor, Room 3 of Luo Huan Shen Jing to receive Xiangling.

Aether and Lumine are two free protagonists, but the player can only choose one. Gamers can change the main character's element but cannot switch between them after completing account creation.

Always participate in limited time events

In addition to the permanent quests and update events, the game also gives away free characters during limited-time events. For example, Aloy is the only 5-star character players can get for free so far. She is an in-game reward for players who qualify for the Affiliate Activity in updates 2.2 and 2.3.

Wait for future limited-time events and try to meet the requirements to get free characters. Players need to level up and complete all world missions, Archon quests to always be ready to collect characters.
