How to Get 4 Star Characters

Pull on Wish Banners

All Current Wish Banners
Genshin Impact - The Northerly WindThe Northerly Wind's Song of Triumph Genshin Impact - 6.4 Chronicled Wish Mondstadt Gacha6.4 Chronicled Wish Mondstadt
Genshin Impact - The Lone Light Knocks at Night GachaThe Lone Light Knocks at Night Genshin Impact - Wanderlust Invocation GachaWanderlust Invocation
Genshin Impact - BeginnerBeginner's Wish Genshin Impact - Epitome Invocation GachaEpitome Invocation

Like 5-star characters, you can get and pull 4-star characters from the gacha, and this is where you will get the majority of the available 4 stars.

To pull on the gacha, you will need Intertwined Fates or Acquaint Fates to get a chance to pull a 4-star. Primogems can also be used to exchange for either Fates.

If you're unsure what gacha to pull, make sure to check out our recommendations!

Best Wish to Pull

Starter Characters Only from Standard Banner

Unlike other four stars, Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa are only available from the Wanderlist Invocation Standard banner, which means you cannot get these three characters from any other banners.

Get from Story

All Characters

Other than the Traveler, there are currently three characters that you can get by progressing the main story! You get them all fairly early on, during the first act, so if you're saving your Fates Amber, Kaeya and Lisa are your new best friends.

Hey the ranking sorting option does not work it just looks extremely random

22 Anonymous Anonymous over 1 year

This 4 star tier list has to be based on a biased view. Yenfei being a C is completely underrating her. Yenfei is better then alot of 5 stars.
