While some of the best characters in the game can only be collected by wishes in Genshin Impact, many of them can be obtained by going through the story. This guide will provide a list of the best characters to get in the game without Wishes. Genshin Impact is one of the best free-to-play titles to release in 2020. While the game is free to enjoy, the way the game makes money is through the Wish mechanic. This allows players to roll for a chance to unlock a 4 or 5-star character. The 5-star character themselves have only a 0.6% chance to unlock them and getting enough Primogems will take players hours to achieve enough. Here are the best free-to-play characters available in the game.
Players can fully experience Genshin Impact without needing to put any money into the game. The characters players will encounter from completing a quest and getting through the story can do a fantastic job for completing Domains and defeating enemies. It's very easy to sink hundreds of dollars into the game for a chance to get a powerful character. The more the player invests in a specific character, the more powerful they will become. Here are the best characters players can get without using Wishes.
The Best Character in Genshin Impact Without Needing To Wish
Here are the best characters players can get without Wishing.
- Main Character: This one should be fairly obvious. Players can unlock all the Constellations for this character, unlocking tons of buffs and new abilities for the player. This is also the character players will have ready from the very beginning.
- Barbara: This character is unlocked by continuing to level up the Adventure Rank. She is unlocked after the player reaches Adventure Rank 20. She will appear in the mail. She functions as a healer and does a decent amount of damage as a Hydro Character.
- Xiangling: To unlock her, the player will need to complete the Spiral Abyss after reaching Adventure Rank 20. She is the best free-to-play character available in the game. She hits fairly hard and is great as the Pyro character for your team.
- Lisa: To unlock her, the player will need to participate in the "Sparks Amongst the Pages" quest in Monstadt. While her DPS is fairly low, she's great for completing overworld puzzles using her Electro abilities.
- Kaeya: To unlock this Cyro character, the player will need to complete the "Crash Course" quest. This happens fairly early in the game and combo-ing with Barbara makes it much easier to freeze enemies when exploring the overworld.
Players can use the Primogems they earn during the main story to make Wishes but this happens far and few between. The game tries to make you spend money by having a sense of urgency with each banner. Everyone wants the newest hot character in the game. Regardless, Genshin Impact can be fully experienced with this line up alone.
Genshin Impact is available now on PlayStation 4, PC, and Mobile.
