Model note: this tool uses a practical soft-pity approximation (base 0.6% and ramp from pull 74 to hard pity at 90).
How to use this Genshin Impact wish calculator
If you are planning for an upcoming limited character banner, this calculator helps you answer the big question: “Can I guarantee the unit I want?” Add your current Primogems, Genesis Crystals, Intertwined Fates, and Starglitter. Then input your pity and whether you are currently guaranteed after losing a 50/50.
The tool returns your total pulls, hard-pity distance, worst-case pull requirement, and probability estimates for your chosen number of featured copies (C0 through C6). It is meant for planning, not perfect prediction.
What the calculator includes
- Total wishes now: Converted from your current currency and fates.
- Total wishes with planned income: Adds expected future Primogems before banner end.
- Pulls to hard pity: How far you are from guaranteed 5★ at pull 90.
- Worst-case guarantee math: Accounts for 50/50 and back-to-back hard pity outcomes.
- Probability estimate: Chance to reach your featured copy target within your pull count.
Quick pity refresher (Character Event Wish)
1) Hard pity
You are guaranteed a 5★ by your 90th pull if none appears earlier.
2) 50/50 system
On a non-guaranteed 5★, you have a 50% chance to get the featured limited character. If you lose, your next 5★ on that banner type is guaranteed featured.
3) Why planning matters
Luck can be amazing, but planning around worst case prevents disappointment. If you budget with conservative assumptions, every early pull becomes a bonus.
Budgeting strategy for F2P and low-spenders
A strong pull strategy usually combines target priority, banner timing, and realistic income assumptions. Treat your Primogems as a monthly budget and avoid impulse pulls if a high-priority rerun is likely soon.
- Set one main target per patch cycle.
- Track pity separately for each banner type.
- Count Starglitter carefully (5 Starglitter = 1 Intertwined Fate).
- Build in a buffer for future weapon/constellation goals.
Understanding probability vs. guarantee
A 70% or even 85% chance is still not certainty. If a character is non-negotiable for your account, plan around hard guarantee. If you are flexible and comfortable with risk, probability-based decisions can stretch your pulls across more banners.
Common mistakes this tool helps prevent
- Forgetting to include Genesis Crystals and Starglitter conversions.
- Mixing up current pity value after previous pulls.
- Assuming average luck as if it were guaranteed luck.
- Trying for constellations without funding baseline C0 safety first.
Final thoughts
The best gacha planning is simple: know your resources, know your pity state, and decide your risk tolerance before wishing. Use this calculator as your pre-banner checklist and adjust as new events, codes, and patch rewards are announced.
Good luck on your pulls, and may your 5★ arrive early.
