Genshin Impact - Capturing Radiance Wish Mechanic
Capturing Radiance is a new Wish Mechanic that increases the chances of getting a Limited 5-Star Character in their corresponding banner in Genshin Impact. See how the Capturing Radiance works, which banners will have it, and its release date here!

What is Capturing Radiance?

Event Wish Mechanic for Character Wish Banners

Genshin - Capturing Radiance - New Wish Mechanic
Capturing Radiance is a new Wish Mechanic introduced in Version 5.0 and announced in the 5.0 Special Program.

Players have a chance of triggering Capturing Radiance when they are not guaranteed while pulling for a 5-Star Character in the limited character banners.

5.0 Livestream Summary

How Does Capturing Radiance Work?

Increases Chances of Winning the 50/50 in Character Wish Banners

Genshin - Capturing Radiance - Chance to Win 50-50
When you pull in any Limited Character Banner without guarantee, you have 50/50 chances of getting the featured 5-Star character. In the moment that you 'lose' the 50/50, there will be a small chance to trigger Capturing Radiance.

If you trigger Capturing Radiance, the 5-Star Character you win in the wish banner will be the limited character, turning it into a win!

Does Not Affect the Rest of the Pity System and Guaranteed Pulls

Capturing Radiance does not affect your existing pity or any guaranteed pulls. If you pull in a banner and lose the 50/50, your next 5-Star Character will be guaranteed and Capturing Radiance will not be triggered.

Pity System Guide

Available in Character Wish and Character Wish-2 Banners

Genshin - Capturing Radiance - Only in Character Wishes
Capturing Radiance can only be triggered in the Character Wish and Character Wish-2 Banners, meaning it will not appear in the Standard Wish, Beginner Wish, nor the Epitome Invocation banners.

Question: Will Capture Radiance be reset every next major update version (i.e. current version is 5.8 to the next update will be 6.0)? Because I lost twice 50/50 (on Skirk and Chasca Rerun banner), and next update will be next new version (i.e version 6.0). But iirc, if I lost example from any "sub-version" 5.X (example 5.6) to any "sub-version" 5.X (example 5.8) , it does carry forward to. Therefore, I would like to know does it carry forward my capture radiance to next version 6.0. Thanks
