Wishing In Banners

Wish For New Characters

▲You can wish for new characters by clicking on the icon at the top right side of your HUD, or by summoning Paimon.

You will be able to get new characters by wishing for them. Wishing will give you a chance to get a character, but is not wholly guaranteed.

Choose Which Banner To Roll

Keep in mind that there will be several banners for you to choose when attempting to unlock characters. Choose the banner with the featured characters to get a higher chance of unlocking these characters.

Wishes Require Fates

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.

Acquaint Fate

Acquaint Fate, on the other hand, can only be used on Beginner and Standard Wish Banners.

Can Also Use Primogems For Wishes

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.
