It’s impossible to get a 5-star weapon with only 3 wishes in Genshin Impact. Let me explain why.
The game’s gacha system is designed to be a bit of a gamble. You spend a currency called "Primogems" on "Wishes" which are basically pulls from a virtual loot box. Each Wish has a chance to give you items, ranging from materials and character EXP to weapons and characters.
The rarer items, like 5-star weapons and characters, have a significantly lower drop rate. The way it works is like this:
- Standard Banner: This banner has a base rate of 0.6% for a 5-star item, with a pity system that guarantees a 5-star after 90 Wishes.
- Event Banner: This banner features a featured 5-star character or weapon with a slightly higher drop rate (around 1%), but it still follows the pity system.
- Weapon Banner: This banner is specifically for weapons, and features two featured 5-star weapons. It also has a pity system that guarantees a featured 5-star weapon after 90 Wishes.
While you might get lucky and pull a 5-star weapon with only 3 Wishes, it’s incredibly unlikely. The chances are just too low. The pity system is designed to ensure you get a 5-star item eventually, but it takes a lot of Wishes, and that’s by design.
So, if you’re hoping to get that specific 5-star weapon you’ve been eyeing, you’ll need to be prepared to spend a lot more than 3 Wishes. Here are a few tips for increasing your chances:
- Save your Primogems: Don’t spend them carelessly. Save up for a banner you really want.
- Do your Daily Commissions: These give you a small amount of Primogems every day.
- Complete events and quests: Many events and quests offer rewards, including Primogems.
- Don’t be afraid to skip banners: If you’re not interested in the featured items, save your Primogems for a banner you want.
It might take time and patience, but with a bit of planning and good fortune, you can eventually get that dream 5-star weapon!
