Rerolling in Genshin Impact – getting the perfect start to your adventure isn’t as complicated as you might think. Let me walk you through this time-tested strategy that veteran players have been using since the game’s launch.
What is Rerolling and Why Should You Do It?
Think of rerolling as hitting the reset button to get better starting characters. Instead of settling for whatever your first wishes give you, you’re essentially creating new accounts until you pull the 5-star character you really want. While it takes some time, starting your journey with a powerful character can make a huge difference in your early game experience.
Getting Ready to Reroll
Before you begin, you’ll need:
– A valid email address (or several)
– About 30-45 minutes per reroll attempt
– The Genshin Impact game installed
– A bit of patience
The Most Efficient Reroll Method
Here’s the streamlined process I recommend to my friends:
1. Create a new account using a unique email
2. Play through the opening sequence until you reach Adventure Rank 5
3. Claim your free Acquaint and Intertwined Fates from the mail
4. Head to the Wish screen and use your free wishes
5. If you don’t get what you want, start over with a new account
Pro tip: You can speed through dialogues by repeatedly clicking your mouse or tapping your screen. Trust me, you’ll be doing this a lot!
Setting Realistic Expectations
Let’s be honest – the chances of pulling a specific 5-star character are pretty low (about 0.6%). I usually tell my friends to expect anywhere from 6-12 rerolls before landing something worthwhile. Remember, you’re looking at roughly 20-25 wishes per reroll attempt.
What Characters Should You Aim For?
While personal preference matters, I’d recommend targeting:
– Versatile DPS characters like Hu Tao or Ganyu
– Support powerhouses like Kazuha
– Beginner-friendly characters like Raiden Shogun
Time-Saving Tips
After countless rerolls myself, here are some tricks I’ve learned:
– Use a password manager to keep track of accounts
– Create email addresses with the + trick (example: yourname+genshin1@gmail.com)
– Skip optional cutscenes
– Focus on main story quests only
Remember, rerolling isn’t mandatory – plenty of players enjoy Genshin Impact without ever doing it. But if you’re like me and want that perfect start, it’s absolutely worth the effort. Just make sure you’re rerolling for a character you’ll truly enjoy playing, not just because they’re considered “meta.”
