Genshin Impact reroll guide

Rerolling Genshin Impact isn't worth it for most players: each try needs a new email address and about 30 minutes of prologue before wishes unlock, and a new account only has enough for a handful of pulls. If you do it, the realistic target is a 4-star like Bennett, or a limited 5-star if one you want is on the banner when you start.

4-stars worth keeping a start for

  • Bennett

    S4-star

    Heals and gives the active character a big ATK buff from one burst. He fits most teams from your first day to the endgame, so many players keep any account that has him.

  • Xingqiu

    A4-star

    Off-field Hydro damage that sets up Vaporize and Freeze teams without needing much investment.

  • Kuki Shinobu

    B4-star / Healer / off-field Electro Sub-DPS

    The healer that makes Hyperbloom teams work, one of the cheapest strong teams to build.

  • Fischl

    A4-star

    Oz deals steady off-field Electro damage, which fits Aggravate and plenty of other teams.

  • Sucrose

    S4-star

    Pulls enemies together and shares Elemental Mastery, so reaction teams hit harder.

Limited 5-stars, if their banner is up

  • Furina

    S5-star / Buffer

    Raises the whole team's damage and fits almost any team, which is why she's the most valued support in the game.

  • Groups enemies and adds an elemental damage bonus for the whole team.

  • Yelan

    A5-star

    Off-field Hydro damage plus a damage buff that grows during her burst.

  • A main damage dealer who can carry a team on his own.

  • Mavuika

    S5-star / Nightsoul-based Pyro DPS

    One of the highest damage dealers in the game.

Which limited characters a new account can pull for depends on the banners running now.

Not worth rerolling for

Don't reroll for characters every account gets for free: Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Barbara, Xiangling, Noelle, Collei, Lynette, Kachina and the Traveler. The same goes for anyone who only gets good at high constellations.

How to reroll

  1. 1Make a HoYoverse account with a new email address. There's no guest login.
  2. 2Play the prologue: beat Stormterror, then enter the Knights of Favonius headquarters in Mondstadt. Wishes unlock when that scene ends, around 30 minutes in if you skip what you can.
  3. 3Claim everything in your mail and the event menus, and redeem any active codes for Primogems.
  4. 4Pull on Beginners' Wish first: 20 pulls at a discount, with Noelle guaranteed in the first 10. Spend what's left on the current character banner.
  5. 5No keeper? Log out at the title screen and start again with another email address.

Which limited 5-stars you can reroll for depends on the banners running when you start. Check them against our tier list before you begin.
