One of the biggest draws to Genshin Impact is the ability to collect a huge roster of playable characters. The game, which is currently available on PC, mobile, and PlayStation 4, has gotten incredibly popular as of late. Many fans have invested a lot of time (and sometimes real money) into obtaining the various characters Genshin Impact has to offer. However, some characters are definitely rarer than others, but which one is the rarest?

Most characters in Genshin Impact have to be acquired through the game's gacha pull system, called Wishes. The game gives players a few starter characters to help them on their journey, but most characters are much more difficult to obtain. Essentially, it all comes down to time and luck. By spending Fates (or Primogems to buy Fates), players can make a Wish and hope to acquire a new character.

Characters in Genshin Impact are based around a 5-point star system, which means the 5-star characters are the hardest to obtain. Currently, the pull rate of a 5-star character is extremely low at only 0.6%. However, most of the 5-star characters in Genshin Impact are the best in the entire game, which is why so many people want them in their parties. Based on a couple of factors, some of these 5-star characters appear to be rarer than others, though.

Why Venti And Diluc Are So Rare In Genshin Impact

Two of the rarest characters in Genshin Impact appear to be Venti and Diluc. Both are 5-star characters, and they're more typically desired than other 5-stars like Jean and Keqing. Diluc is incredibly powerful, and he's currently available through the Wanderlust Invocation Wish. Players will need a lot of time and a good bit of luck if they wish to acquire him, though.

The Anemo user Venti is a bard with both DPS and Support skills. The character was available during the Ballad in Goblets Wish, but that event has since ended. Because of this, Venti is now just slightly harder to obtain in Genshin Impact than Diluc is. Both characters play a vital role in the main story, so they'll likely be part of other in-game events in the future.

The main thing to keep in mind is that Genshin Impact's Wish system is all based on RNG and luck. Some players may pull a character like Venti or Diluc on their first try, while others may spend thousands of pulls attempting to get them. For anyone lucky enough to get a 5-star character in Genshin Impact during a gacha pull, that character should make a great asset to any team.
