Should You Pull Single Wishes or Multi Rolls? (Explained!)

Single Pulls? Multi Rolls? What Are They?

Let me break the ice quickly and easily - what are pulls in Genshin Impact? 

For those new to the Genshin Impact impact, the term "wish" or "wishes" are equivalent to other gacha games' "pulls" or "summons". So referring back to this article's title, single pulls in Genshin Impact mean doing one wish on any banner once at a time, while multi-rolls refer to doing ten wishes in one go.

In Reality - No Difference

Genshin Impact has provided the percentage rates for everything you can get from any banner. This includes:

• Character Event Banner(s) [Also known as Character Rate Up Banner]
• Weapon Event Banner(s) [Also known as Weapon Rate Up Banner]
• Standard Banners [Also known as the Permanent Banner]

Character and Weapon Event Banners are limited-time banners that usually last only three weeks, whereas the standard banner will forever be available for players to wish on.

Here are the tabulated overall drop percentage rates for each respective banner, obtained from Genshin Impact Fandom:

These percentages are static and do not change (unless it's the soft and hard pity!)

Multi-Rolls Over Single Pulls?

If you notice, the most popular Genshin Impact YouTubers and streamers do a lot more multi-rolls than single pulls! One reason is that they are doing it for content - it's both faster and exciting to see how many 5-star characters you might get when a golden star appears on a multi-roll right? 

However, as we can see, the pull rates are static, and there are no extra benefits from pulling multi-rolls over than single pulls.

I would recommend doing single pulls when you are approaching soft pity (around 75 pulls for the character banner, and 65 pulls for the weapon banner).  I believe that this is one of the best ways to use your Primogems in Genshin Impact, so treasure them dearly.

The reason I recommend this, especially for free-to-play players, is to ensure that you can maximize your Primogems count for the next banner to come, so ensure that you know how to save up Primogems in Genshin Impact!

Solution - Horde Primogems

From my experience, what you want to know is how to get Primogems fast in Genshin Impact. The fast pace of the limited banners means the specific character you are aiming for may arrive faster than you anticipate. Not to mention that, with the pity system, you can properly time and decide what characters you can get!

Of course, the more Primogems you have, the less you have to think about whether you should do single pulls or multi-rolls. Now that you know that the pull rates don't change, you can decide whatever way you'd like to pull!
