Genshin Wish & Primogem Calculator
Plan your pulls for the character event banner. Enter your saved resources and this calculator estimates your pull power, worst-case requirement, primogem shortfall, and a probability estimate.
Probability estimate uses a simplified soft pity model and should be treated as planning guidance, not exact in-game odds.
What this calculator genshin tool does
This calculator genshin page is designed for one simple goal: helping you make better pull decisions before a banner goes live. Instead of guessing if your savings are enough, you can quickly estimate how many wishes you currently hold, how many you might still need, and how close you are to a safe “guaranteed” outcome.
It focuses on the character event banner and includes the most practical planning inputs:
- Your current primogems and intertwined fates.
- Optional starglitter conversion into additional pulls.
- Your current pity on the character banner.
- Whether your next 5-star is guaranteed featured.
- How many copies you want (for constellations).
Quick primer: pity, 50/50, and guarantees
Hard pity
On the character event banner, a 5-star is guaranteed by pull 90 if it has not appeared earlier. That means your worst-case distance to the next 5-star is always 90 - current pity.
50/50 rule
If you are not guaranteed, the next 5-star has a 50% chance to be the featured unit and a 50% chance to be standard. If you lose that 50/50, your following 5-star is guaranteed featured.
Worst-case planning numbers
- Starting guaranteed: up to 90 - pity pulls for one featured copy.
- Starting non-guaranteed: up to 180 - pity pulls for one featured copy.
- Each extra featured copy after that: up to 180 pulls in worst-case planning.
These are conservative numbers. In reality, many players hit their target earlier due to early 5-stars or winning 50/50s.
How to use this page effectively
Step 1: Enter your real current resources
Use what you have today, not what you hope to get later. This gives a clean baseline and prevents overly optimistic planning.
Step 2: Enter pity accurately
Open your in-game history and count from your last 5-star on the character banner. Don’t mix weapon/banner pity types; each banner family tracks pity separately.
Step 3: Set your goal clearly
If you only want the character at C0, set copies to 1. If you are aiming for C2, set copies to 3, and so on. A clear target makes budgeting straightforward.
Step 4: Compare shortfall vs timeline
The calculator shows extra pulls and primogems needed in worst-case terms. If you add a daily income estimate, you also get rough days required to close that gap.
Example planning scenario
Suppose you have:
- 9,600 primogems
- 18 intertwined fates
- 20 starglitter
- 35 pity
- Not guaranteed
- Target: 1 featured copy
The tool converts resources into total wishes, then compares against the worst-case requirement of 180 - pity. You immediately see if you are mathematically safe or still exposed to a potential miss if luck goes badly.
Why worst-case planning is smart
A lot of disappointment in gacha games comes from planning around average luck instead of downside risk. If a character is truly important to your account, budget for worst-case first. Then treat early wins as bonus value.
- It prevents panic spending at banner end.
- It helps you skip weaker banners confidently.
- It protects resources for reruns and future metas.
Common mistakes this calculator helps avoid
- Mixing banners: character pity is not weapon pity.
- Ignoring guarantee state: this changes required pulls dramatically.
- Forgetting starglitter value: small resource pools add up over time.
- Planning with emotions: a number-based plan beats hype purchases.
Final notes
This calculator genshin page is intended as a practical planner for free-to-play, Welkin, and light-spending players alike. It gives you two useful lenses: a conservative guarantee estimate and a probability-style estimate for your current stash. Use both together to decide whether to pull now, save longer, or wait for a rerun.
If you want the safest strategy, always plan around worst-case pulls. If you enjoy some risk, use the probability output to decide how much variance you can tolerate before committing your wishes.
