To own a 5-star character with a 6-star constellation, Genshin Impact players need to invest a significant amount of money.
The concept of Constellations is familiar to Genshin Impact players. It's a key factor in boosting characters' strength. Each character can have a maximum of 6 constellations (except Aloy), abbreviated as C1-C6 corresponding to the number of character constellations. To possess the maximum constellation of a 5-star character, players will have to spend a considerable sum of money.
In Genshin Impact, the gacha mechanism works by accumulating pity. The maximum pity is 180 pulls to obtain a 5-star character, but few reach that point due to bad luck. If players continue to pull the character they already own, it will immediately convert into a constellation, unlocking a new talent for the character.
To own a max Constellation character, players will have to spend a significant amount of money. For 'whales', they may not care about the amount they spend. But for players with a modest budget who want to spend as little as possible, these are the factors to consider when deciding to max out the Constellation for a 5-star character.
To calculate accurately and easily, we can introduce the following concepts:
Hard Pity: When players need to pull
Soft Pity: When players need to pull 75 times to receive the desired character.
Guaranteed: If players don't receive the featured character of the banner, instead getting 5-star characters from the standard banner (Diluc, Jean, Mona, Qiqi, Keqing); in the next 90 pulls, players are guaranteed 100% to receive the featured character.
50/50 Win: When there's no guarantee but players still pull the desired character.
How much Primogems for C6?
According to preliminary calculations, players need a minimum of 72,000 Primogems to obtain the 6th constellation of a 5-star character, and a maximum of 172,800 Primogems.
How much Primogems to obtain C6?
Genshin Impact players need a minimum of $1 (22,000 VND) for 60 Genesis Crystals, and $100 (approximately 2.2 million VND). Roughly calculated, we will need a minimum of $900 (20.4 million VND) and a maximum of $2145 (48.8 million VND) to obtain a C6 character.
So in the worst-case scenario, where players have to pull 90 times and lose all 50/50 bets, they would spend around 48.8 million VND to upgrade a character from C0 to C5. If they win all 50/50 bets, this cost will be halved.
Luck still plays the most crucial role in gacha games like Genshin Impact. In reality, the amount of money players spend may be lower if they pull the desired character within the first 1-74 pulls. Some players have even obtained from 1 to 4 5-star characters in just 10 pulls. Of course, these are rare cases and cannot be relied upon as much as Visa cards.
Luck remains the most important factor in gacha games like Genshin Impact. In reality, players may spend less money if they pull the desired character within the first 1-74 pulls. Some players have even acquired 1 to 4 5-star characters in only 10 pulls. However, these instances are rare and cannot be as trusted as Visa cards.
