Summary

  • Players can get around 9,265 free Primogems, around 57 wishes, in Genshin Impact 5.6
  • Fans are disappointed with fewer free Primogems compared to previous updates.
  • Two new characters, Escoffier and Ifa, are expected to be introduced in version 5.6

A new Genshin Impact chart has revealed the estimated number of Primogems that will be available for free in the upcoming Update 5.6. Primogems are widely considered the most important currency in Genshin Impact since they are used for pulling on the game's various character and weapon banners.

Players can use Primogems to buy either Intertwined or Acquaint Fates, depending on whether they want to pull on the standard or limited banner. Even though pulling on banners is Genshin Impact's main source of revenue, HoYoverse also allows Travelers to acquire a sizable number for free.

Genshin Impact Character Ifa
Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Ifa’s Kit, Leaving Some Fans Disappointed

A new Genshin Impact leak reveals the kit details for the upcoming Anemo user Ifa who is expected to join the roster in update 5.6.

An interesting chart revealed on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has given an estimated prediction of how many Primogems players will be able to get for free in the upcoming Update 5.6. The calculation is based on a combination of the known Primogem rewards for completing some permanent types of content, like the Spiral Abyss and Daily Commissions, and limited events that have been mentioned in multiple leaks over the last couple of days. According to the chart, players will be able to get around 9,265 Primogems for free in Genshin Impact Version 5.6. This amounts to approximately 57 wishes, which can be used to acquire a new five-star character. There is a chance that this number might be higher if HoYoverse decides to add a new part of Teyvat in the next update, which would result in more exploration rewards.

Genshin Impact Version 5.6: Estimated Primogems Revealed

  • 9,265 Primogems (about 57 wishes)

Overall, fans don't seem too happy about the number of free Primogems, considering that the current Genshin Impact update 5.5 should allow them to get at least 80 pulls for free, which is almost enough to guarantee a five-star character, as they run on a 90-wish pity. Players are also waiting for HoYoverse's official announcements regarding the addition of new playable units in the upcoming update.

Recent beta leaks have all but confirmed the arrival of two new characters, Escoffier and Ifa. Escoffier has been mentioned in numerous leaks over the past couple of months and was referred to as the "chef character." Genshin Impact also featured her in its most recent character trailer for Varesa, which confirmed that she will be a new Cryo character. Her kit information also revealed that Escoffier should be a new five-star support in Genshin Impact.

The famous Natlan veterinarian, Ifa, has also made an official appearance in the previous Special Program event, which caused a lot of hype in the community. However, many fans were disappointed by the recent beta leaks, which hinted that Ifa would have a lower four-star rarity, even though Travelers hoped he would be a five-star character, especially since he has one of the best-designed models in Genshin Impact.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
