Best Wish To Pull - Recommended Banners
Different Per Player
Because Genshin employs a Gacha system where the characters you get are random, it's inevitable that recommendations will differ depending on a given player's current character lineup and preference. In this section, we've presented several cases and provided recommendations for each one.
Current Wish Ranking
| Wish | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Secretum Secretorum [Albedo Banner] | ★★★★★ |
| Born Of Ocean Swell [Eula Banner] | ★★★★★ |
| Epitome Invocation | ★★★★・ |
| Wanderlust Invocation | ★★★★・ |
Albedo Rerun Banner - Recommended
Great If You Need A Sub DPS
Albedo is currently one of the best Geo Sub-DPS in the game since both his Elemental Skill and Burst are on-field abilities. His damage potential is also fit for any Geo team with a missing Sub-DPS role.
Albedo's Banner shares the same 4-star characters with Eula's Banner
Albedo Best BuildsEula Rerun Banner - Recommended
Great If You Need A Physical Carry
Eula is perhaps the best physical carry yet in the game. She is a character that does not need multiple elements to deal powerful damage and is very free to play friendly.
Eula Best BuildsHas 2 Of The Best Supports In The Game
If you need a support character, then this banner is a must-pull. Bennett and Rosaria are amazing supports that will definitely help boost the damage of your team through ATK Buff or Crit Rate buff.
Also Has 2 Support Healers
Both Bennett and Noelle are support healers. Bennett can fit in any team comp while Noelle usually thrives in Geo comps. Noelle can provide healing and shields while Bennett gives healing and buffs.
Weapon Banner - Recommended
Song Of Broken Pines Is Currently Best Physical DPS Claymore
The Song Of Broken Pines is not exclusively great on Eula only. It can be also good on some other DPS Physical Claymore characters, including Razor and Xinyan.
Song Of Broken Pines How to Get & Is It Good?Freedom-Sworn Is Good For EM Supports
If you have Kazuha, pulling for this weapon is worth it since it's his BIS. If you don't have him, it's a good sword for other EM build supports.
Freedom-Sworn How to Get & Is It Good?Includes Valued 4-Star Weapons
This weapon banner includes some of the most sought after weapons, including the Dragon's Bane and Wine And Song. It also includes Alley Hunter, Lion's Roar and Sacrificial Greatsword.
New Wish Type - Character Event Wish-2
What Is Character Event Wish-2?
Character Event Wish-2 is a new type of new Wish type specifically made for rerun banners. This will often run simulatenously with another banner, allowing for 2 Character Banners at the same time.
How Does It Work?
The Character Event Wish-2 is just like any other Wish event. What makes it different is that it shares Guarantee and Pity with it's concurrent Character Event Wish banner. You can build either pity on any of the two banners and the guarantee will carry over.
Should I Pull On The Character Event Wish-2?
The depends entirely on which character is featured, what you need in your team, and personal preference. If you're building pity, you can do it on either Wish Banners since they share it anyways.

Best Wish To Pull - Tips
Pull Beginner's Wish First
The Beginner's Wish is guaranteed to include ★4 Noelle on the 1st 10-wish roll and ★4 or higher character on the 2nd 10-wish roll. The chance of getting a super rare character is much higher than other banners so you should definitively choose this banner first.
Pull Weapon Gacha If You Have Enough Characters
If you already own enough strong characters, going for the weapon gacha like Epitome Invocation is also recommended. A ★5 weapon is guaranteed at least once per 80 attempts. Since the stats of ★5 weapons are much higher than ★4, going for this banner is a good bet if you want to focus on increasing your damage.
