Wishes will require you to use Fates. There are two types of Fates that you can use for rolling for characters: the Intertwined and Acquaint Fate.
Intertwined Fate
Intertwined Fate is basically a gacha currency that you use to pull for characters and weapons in Time-Limited Banners.

Aside from Fates, you can also use Primogems to roll for characters. 1 Fate can be converted to 160 Primogems. This means that a 10-pull will cost you 1,600 Primogems in total.
