NEW Chronicled Wish! Everything you need to know. Genshin Impact 4.5

Genshin Impact 4.5 is introducing a new Chronicled Wish banner system. I break down everything we know about this banner and also speculate on what future Chronicled Wish banners could look like. I also go over all the pros and cons and many other nitty gritty details.

If the fate point had crossed over there would've been nothing to complain about.

[@JerryMouse.]

This is so true.

[@khnh9739]

if they want to make fate point carry over, then fate point itself would not be exist, the whole point of 'fate point' is to not carry over between banner

[@mayureshjoshi4075]

@@khnh9739 The fate point would still exist since its basically just replacing the guarantee of a character.... Once a limited event banner ends it doesn't mean your guarantee goes away. They had to make someway of guaranteeing a specific character which is why they added the fate point thing.

[@grrah3939]

If you really want a character and saved the fate point doesn’t matter. Plus there is not a specific 4 stars so you don’t just “do a random 10 pull” Literally only hurts people who pull instantly.

[@leedevee]

Yes, there would have. It’s kind of ballsy of them to acknowledge that these 5 stars are less desirable (plain ‘old’), but still keep the same soft and hard pity. Also, if there are no rate-up 5 stars, it will be harder to get specific constellations for your favorite 4 stars. To me, this is a shameless way of getting you to pull their vintage units with less favorable conditions.

[@mayn_shin]

Fate point should carry to next banner imo

[@papapepe1111]

Yes even on weapon banner

[@yuuki6390]

Genshin would never do that

[@lmntsgames3848]

If they do that then there's no point going for the current banners unless if it's for a new character.. if anything treat this banner as a better weapon banner because it actually is a better weapon banner system than the current one..

Don't say "imo" It's a fact. it's dumb that it doesn't, it's such a greedy money grab on their part

[@left6466]

​@@lmntsgames3848No point what? It will be literally the same as the limited banner but albeit just a quicker way of rerunning older characters? Instead As of right now there's zero reason to pull on the new banner since it's a waste as it doesn't carry over the pulls

[@fredxu99]

Could they just do something... nice... for a change? Like, truly thoughtful and nice? This Chronicle wish is so close to being perfect, but it has that stupid Epitomized Path system and doesn't carry over pity. Just let us pick a target and don't make it so complicated, everyone is happy, newer whales that missed Tighnari will still whale for their R5 Hunter's Path while the rest of us can have a nice chill time going for Mona or Jean and if we don't get them, we can go for Qiqi on the Liyue one! Why does it have to be so hard?

[@vampiszoonis9691]

​@@Walters134 build your pity but the path will be lost so you can lose on next chronicles banner again, and what is worse it is competing with the limited banner pull material so you gotta either. For someone who has been playing the game for like 3 years I have most of the units on this banner, and only thing that is enticing to me is the beacon and hunter, and you can still lose and never get them theoretically cause, if it had gaunranteed type mechanism that was being carried to the next patch like in limited character banner, for the selected option, it would have been way more considerable and worth pulling on to.

[@Pingu2010]

@@zollen_boyyy6419 There's one significant benefit for weapons though. From 0 pity/0 fate/no guarantee, It lowers the average number of pulls required to get a time limited weapon by ~20-30% compared to if they were featured on a regular weapon banner (and a much bigger % if you really want a standard weapon like, say, skyward sword). The only caveats are 1) you need the weapon you want to be on that new banner, which might take a long time, and 2) I assume there won't be gacha 4* weapons like Xiphos.

[@hkprimary]

So basically there's a smaller pool of consolation prizes for losing a 50/50, but now you can't bring the 50/50 pity across character banners... The monkey's paw curls again.

I'm confused about this 50/50 thing Let's say I won 50/50 does that mean I have a guarantee 5 star on the next pulls or another 50/50 chance??

[@hkprimary]

@@Monkey_D_Luffy56 The 50/50 refers to the 50% chance you have of getting your desired 5* character when you pull a 5*. On the Featured banner, if you lose the 50/50 you get a random 5* from the Standard banner (character or weapon) which has a huge loot pool. If you lose the 50/50 on the new Chronicled banner, your 5* will be guaranteed to be one of 5 other 5*s on that banner (there are 6 5* characters and you pick one to target), and it won't be a weapon.

[@Hagedebu89]

This gacha game... what you expect 😂😂😂

[@TylR3gor]

No. It means that on a particular banner you have 1 chance out of 2 to get the character or weapon that you want. Faili​ng to get it is losing the 50/50 which means that the next time you reach a 5star, you are guaranteed (100%) Winning the 50/50 means that you were lucky and that you're back to having 1 chance out of 2 to get the next 5 star @@Monkey_D_Luffy56

[@Dinofrog17]

@@Monkey_D_Luffy56 if you fail 50/50 and then u summon more after that and didnt get the desired character, your fate points wont carry over but the pity you made after you failed the 50/50 will carry over. The guarantee/fate point does not carry over only the pity.

[@nicholasfong5182]

There is a slight difference between the "does not carry over" properties of the weapon banner and the chronicled banner. In the weapon banner you can guarantee a 50/50 between the two featured weapons if your last 5 star weapon on the weapon banner was a standard banner weapon, this pity carries over. However, since anything you get on chronicled wish is considered "featured", you should only pull when you can guarantee getting two 5 stars.

I think they should've converted the Standard Banner into this, make the rolls used in this banner into Acquaint Fate (thus, incentivizing people who buy/earn Acquaint Fates using Starglitter or with real money).. Additionally, I think they should make the banner permanent and changing only after a few patches or when there's a special event (I.E. Windblume for Mondstadt Banner, Lantern Rite for Liyue Banner, and Inazuma Festival, and etc.)

[@jamescampbell5734]

We also don't know if ALL those weapons they showed will be on the banner at the same time. It's possible they just showed them for future reference, but then they have fewer of them on each individual banner. Also, I think it's a bit unfair to called the Standard banner weapons 'trash.' They're still very good general purpose weapons that are going to be better than most 4* weapons for any character. Plus, another advantage you didn't mention is that this is a much easier way of getting refinements for those weapons as well. An R5 version of any of those weapons must certainly be just as good or even better than an R1 version of a 'limited banner' weapon like Becaon or Hunter's Path.

[@MDeadcloud]

Eh, it really depends. For example, Amos Bow (not on this banner but still a standard banner weapon) has absolutely no use beside being a statstick for anyone that isn't charge attacking. While it certainly can be better than 4 star weapons, something like Hunter's Path has both crit rate and some elemental damage bonus. My point is that it really depends on the character and the weapon; there's a reason that for a good chunk of characters, their BiS weapon is a four star, or there's a 4 star that is really good for them.

I feel like the characters that will be thrown onto the chronicled wish will *exclude* archons (& maybe harbringers) and additionally only *include* unpopular characters. Characters that stay relevant & keep raking in lots of money per limited banner (yelan & hu tao) won’t be added, even though their last reruns were awhile ago & meet the “requirements”. At the end of the day, their goal is to make as much money as possible - and this is just another way to do so

People seem to forget that they will try and put as many 'on theme' Standard 5 stars in each Chronicled Wish. So I'm pretty confident the next Chronicled wish is going to consist of: - Qiqi - Keqing - Ganyu - Childe Then the other two could be between: - Yelan - Hu Tao - Zhongli I'm not entirely sure if they'd put an archon on the Chronicled Wish - that's why I'm not too sure about Zhongli. They might also pick one of Yelan/Hu tao alongside Zhongli. It might be 'too good' if they had both on the banner but who knows.

[@Pingu2010]

I don't expect Archons to be put on that yet. I don't expect to see Yelan or Hu Tao (or Kazuha) there either because they know these sell. If they always want to have 6 characters, and with always 3 from the standard pool, I could see Kokomi and Tighnari.

Not to mention the drop from two to one fate points for weapons, and, indeed, the necessity of the banner itself as more characters are added to the game.

[@kimarimoi]

I'm still not sure whether this system is good or bad. Good: Several more reruns per patch, potential to get limited characters when losing 50/50, a way to get long-lost 5-star weapons like Reed Sea and Hunter's Path. Bad: Fate points reset like the weapon banner, blue fates are still worthless. ???: It's likely that most characters will eventually be removed from normal reruns and only appear in Chronicled. The fate point reset doesn't *really* matter if you plan ahead and don't throw wishes into it impulsively, but, I mean, gacha games are designed around impulse purchases... so... that's definitely gonna happen to people. If they miraculously decide to remove that "feature," I wouldn't have any real complaints about this.

There is a supply banner in HI3 that has similar mechanics: features a pool of 3 or 4 S ranks for you to pick from ( they also rotate every few days but you can reset it) for a limited time (usually runs about 2 weeks) and the pool is different each time they run it (which may or may not be once a patch). It's actually not a bad option if you have been saving and waiting ages for a particular unit. Newer players would probably want to skip these types of banners (unless there is a highly desirable unit like Yelan on it) in favor of more recently released units.

[@haralthan]

The supply banner makes sense in HI3 BECAUSE they have A LOT of crystal sources, in genshin we do not have a constante flow of primogems, and this New banner is realy unsustainable for Genshin level of rewards. BASICLY a Whale banner

[@euthanised4124]

This banner is good in Hi3 because Hi3 is extremely f2p friendly with lots of sources to get Crystals from once you level up your captain level. Genshin is not at all f2p friendly without any reliable way of getting even enough Primogems to keep up with the characters. Also the reruns in Hi3 are quite frequent meanwhile genshin takes a year to rerun one character.

[@UraharaKoi]

Something pretty much everyone seeems to be overlooking is that out of the example banners they've given for this HALF of the available characters are LIMITED CHARACTERS. Using the example banners if you path a limited character you have a 2/5 chance of loosing your 50/50 to a different limited character. If you pick a standard character you have a 3/5 chance of loosing your 50/50 to a limited character. The fate probably doesn't carry over to balance this out.

Okay how do yuo expect to get limited chaaracters with standart fates then?😐Its even better than the current weapon banner if you are willing to go all out on the banner as in the regular one you need 2 fate points,here you need only 1,even for weapons,despite being 10 fates more expensive if you have to go to hard pity,but lets be real that almost never happens,so in the regular banner you would apend 240 fates for the weapon,on this one 180 max.The vharacters banner will constantly change and it eill be the exact same as any other limited banner ,prople need to realise this banner was not meant to give you free 5 star characters but to make it so every character can rerun in a patch as the amount of them is too large which is a great thing as you no longer have to wait years just to get your FAVOURITE Characters ,as most peoppe play for fun,not meta,despite being f20 i clear the abyss no problem.

[@NightmarAkashi]

You're right There are only 1 issues Of course the fate reset that force you to save 180 pull which would take a lot and a lot of time Except for that (it's still a big problem with how long it takes to save up that much), it's litteraly the same banner Even a little bit better since you can lose 50/50 to a limited character

[@roxas303]

[@juliamalyugina3546]

I think the way to find 5* for the future of this banner is to check how much money people spend on them. Least popular ones will be the most probable candidates.

[@Pheonee]

I want to point out that there only needs to be a few standard weapons you'd be okay with losing to for the chronicled wish weapon side to be extremely comparable odds to the weapon event banner. For example, you chart for Beacon, but you'd also be okay with Hunter's Path, Lost Prayers, or Skyward Harp. That's already a 65% chance of getting something you want. Swords like aquila favonia and skyward blade are also just generically good on Bennett for anyone who didn't pull a mist for him. It's not like most players have dozens of 5* weapons and refinements to choose from. That's not bad odds at all considering how many trash weapon banners we've had, either because it's objectively bad (one of the donuts) or useless to you personally. The addition of the manner is clearly a net positive, since it's not taking the place of anything else, so anyone who isn't interested in the featured items can just ignore it anyway, while still being an option for those of us who made the mistake of "not having started playing last time hunter's path ran"

[@lmntsgames3848]

It is pretty difficult to manage.. because the pity itself can be brought to the next banner, say you already did 50 spins, next banner you only need 40 spins max to get a guaranteed 5 star.. what's difficult is that the 50/50 can't be taken to the next banner.. meaning if you lose 50/50, you have to get the guaranteed now, or else you go back to 50/50 again next banner.. for example.. you lost 50/50 now, you have guaranteed on the next 5 star.. you did 50 spins and stopped for next banner, next banner your remaining 40 spins will be a 50/50.. so it is good if you want the character you have been waiting for for ages and you want their weapon.. because this weapon banner is way better than the current weapon banner.. and you have enough spins to get a guaranteed 50/50.. otherwise just skip this banner..

[@Hagedebu89]

The solution: just saving...and all out in the character/weapon you want

[@spyrothetimelord]

as a sometimes whale, i feel like the weapon side is an absolute win (only one fate point, harder to access weapons, 50% chance vs 35% chance). but for the 5* characters that eventually rotate here that i don't plan to pull normally, or for the few i wouldn't mind passively getting constellations for, the character side will only be a win when the other 5* characters are not mostly ones i have C6 already. i already have all standard except Tighnari and Dehya at C6, and my Eula is C6, Albedo C2, Klee C0. i would hypothetically like Klee C4 for example, but this isn't the ideal setup for me since almost every loss just ends up being five wishes. if they gave a bonus for losing 5050 to a limited character you already have C6 or even standard ones too, since it's already a slightly unique banner, it would possibly give me more incentive

[@nbruns10]

the weapon banner portion is definitely worth it. Because yes while you have higher chances to get 1 of the uprated on normal limited banner (75%), most of the time I only want 1 of the 2. Waiting around for a banner with 2 good weapons (or one where i don't already own 1 of the two) takes forever. Be nice to just get stuff within 160 for my favorite characters.

[@NathanAJM]

its good because for those who want these characters and are impatient like me will have more characters to roll for in between banners though i see it has its issues.

[@xxNightWulf]

I have reached multiple constellations on the standard banner 5 star characters and still haven't received a Mona. So, this banner is pretty tempting for me as a way to guarantee her now

[@znom0]

bad thing about this is we should have atleast 180 intertwineds for a character and 180 for weapon or 320 for both saved up everytime the banner changes...worst thing that could happen is if every version there will be a new character on featured banners...

[@ayammerah5989]

Maybe you don't play other gacha game... In blue archives you need to pull 200 to can get your desire character same as nikje too...

right. Those two games are the perfect example. Just as i tought, this new banner is practically useless. They just "pretended" to be kind lmao

[@laconic_90]

You only need around 150-160 wishes to guarantee a character. Soft pity is at 76 pulls. The odds of you needing 160+ pulls are impossibly low. It's a hundredth of a percent.

[@johnfaustin2978]

I hope Hu Tao is next. My luck on the weapon banner is so bad this is the only possible way for me to get her Staff of Homa.

[@viktorholm3386]

My guess for the next Banner (Assuming its going to be 6 Characters and a liyue Themed one) is: Qiqi and Keqing since the first one has Standard Banner Characters, then Ganyu, Zhongli and Childe and either Yelan or Hutao since even tho they are very popular, its unlikely they will get a new rerun before the next region but we will prb get a new Chronicled Banner before, i dont think they will rerun them both at the same time so it might be that we get one in the chronicles, maybe at the same time we get a filler patch and they want to put a more popular character in the chronicled banner and then later we get a rerun for the one that wasnt featured in the chronicled

[@flare8521]

Keqing had been eluding me for years but finally came home from the Standard banner early in 4.4. Otherwise I'd be frothing at the mouth right now waiting for the Liyue Chronicle banner. As it is now, I think I might just go for Tighnari's weapon eventually since I really enjoy playing him. Then again he's already on Harp so there's really no rush. I agree Ganyu and and Childe are likely to be on the Liyue Chronicle banner with Keqing and Qiqi, but I highly doubt that Zhongli will join them. For one, I think Archons just won't go there since they're too important. And also, I think this will be an occasional banner used by Hoyo to tempt us into spending our Fates during the usual yearly down times (something like X.3, X.5 and X.8 every year). I could be wrong though.

[@lighty2884]

If people really want the character they have been saving for then i don't think fate points will be a really big deal for them. And you can also get another featured limited character which is really good

[@pontoancora]

Not really. We go to the char in limited banner, risking lose to the 7 standard option. Like them or not. Just by having limited chars in the pool, make it better if you want a char in the pool. Let's say you want Albedo, you can lose to eula instead of qiqi, for example. Win situation.

You didn’t talk about the 4 stars. With my assumptions, I think you can chart for a 5 star character, build pity and get characters intead of weapons, then switch to a 5 star weapon before u have a fate point (or vice versa) that way u can get more characters while pulling on the weapon banner instead of 4 star weapons

[@SHAdow98V]

Fair point there,if you don't want garbage 4* weapons but you want 4* cons you can build pity with a 5* character then when you get close to pity you swap to weapons if you let's say want a 5* weapon then if you get it good if not you have a fate point in weapons. . . . . . .That being said i see that as a trap more than anything since you can always get an early 5* and if you do get an early 5* character(fate point) but you wanted to eventually switch to weapons then once you have the fate point you are stuck going for characters instead cuz the fate point does reset even when you switch so it'll be a wasted fate point if you stop pulling or switch.

[@Yawar25]

You will still get 4 stars weapons, even if you choose a 5 star character. That option only locks the 5 stars character/weapons, besides that, is the same as the promotional Banner 😅

[@usmansiddiqui1384]

Overall, I think this is a good thing. Might not use it personally, but it’s a good way to guarantee something niche and specific.

[@frogov99]

The chronicle wish is just an alternative. If it's good or bad will depend on the other promotional banners, the chronicle wish rosters and how much you want a character that doesn't appear often.

[@yungharemlord]

The hardest decision to make, I been saving for arlecchino and I have c6r1 Eula my goal has always been to c6r5 Eula. This coming right before 4.6 (speculation for arlecchino banner) is making it really hard to not throw some wishes I've saved for 4.6 and instead at this new chronicles banner while hoping for god luck, not knowing when they'll even feature Eula again on any banner.

[@carlosngo3338]

There will always be something better so it may be better to just save up your wishes.

[@euthanised4124]

If you really love Eula and want to R5 her weapon then definetely go for it. Arlechino will be rerunning soon anyway so you don't got much to lose

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

The point of this banner is: you can lose 50/50 to a limited 5*, so you are no longer locked to building a standard 5* constellations. you can actually get limited characters Cons or get a random new ones. You can build pity on it, but the fate points dont carry over if you lose and don't go all the way. IMO this is good, but im year 1 player so im avoiding this one with my C6 Jean... will try if there comes a banner with tighnari/dehya/mona as the only standard lose tho. so i can just build my constellations on characters i want. The problem with this release banner is that it's lacking a real bait, the biggest character here is Eula and sure she's popular but meta wise she ain't. So yeah... They are gaging the interest for the banner first for sure, sure hope people won't roll so they will put at least 2 bait Gacha characters in here.

[@NightmarAkashi]

Well it's supposed to be a banner with non-meta and less popular old characters, quite understandable about the lack of bait

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

@@NightmarAkashi id argue this banner is a bait for current F2P tactic, which is to save until the desired 5* come up. all while the featured 5* isn't anyone they want. That's my problem since the start of 4.0 i have nobody to roll until furina, navia , clorinde, and Arlecchino came out and i got them all locked with 100% guaranteed due to the gap between them is enough to always save to 22k primos (im welkin only)

[@cesarignjas]

now, what are the 4 star characters or weapons for this banner? anything that is already in the standard banner?

[@laconic_90]

The banner is pretty great. It's exactly what we have been asking for, for a very long time. You can now pull for specific standard characters and weapons when there was no way to do this before, not to mention other rare limited characters as well. The banner also has the same 150-160 required fates for a guarantee, assuming soft pity is still at 76 pulls. And you can get a limited 5 star if you lose the 50/50. There is no downside to this banner unless you are pulling without a guarantee saved up, which you should never do in the first place. Genshin players are pretty inexperienced and stupid though, so it makes sense people are upset I guess.

[@karlagorahni499]

In my opinion the biggest problem is the wording that the banner will be from (TIME to TIME). I think they will do this banner every two patches so 4.5 and next is 4.8.

[@redox5528]

[@trippmaher275]

The weapon part makes purfect sense as does the character part, I don’t understand what the complication is, this banner is supposed to be different, it’s not meant to be like the other event banners, if you don’t like it don’t roll on it and wait till your character gets an event banner, or you can acknowledge the fact that even if you do lose your 50/50 you won’t get a qiqi and might get another event banner character which I think is amazing.

[@netneo4038]

That banner could have been useful, but then they make it just shitty enough not to be

[@Pingu2010]

It is useful in a way. If you were planning to save for a guaranteed rerun of an older character, you get the benefit of potentially losing the 50:50 to another limited character. It also allows you to do so without affecting the pity you might have been building for an upcoming character (although in effect it will remain roughly the same). With the weapons, it might be more advantageous than the current weapon banner if a limited weapon you want (or even non-limited) is on it (versus if they were on the usual weapon banner). With the current weapon banner, it's ~100 pulls to have a >50% chance at a specific weapon, while it will be ~80 with this new banner, if my calculation is correct. The worst case goes from 240 pulls to 180 pulls. The main downside compared to the regular event banners, I assume, will be that there won't be specific rated up 4-stars characters or 4-stars gacha weapons (like xiphos).

[@deliro8758]

The biggest takeaway from this is that Klee, Albedo and Eula are forever gone from regular rotations , which should make the banners better on average while still offering the same value for those who want them.

[@I.disagree]
