Want to know how to reroll in Genshin Impact? If you didn’t get any favorite iconic characters or weapons early on in Genshin Impact but want to obtain them, this guide explains everything you need to know.
Rerolling is the process of restarting the game from scratch to get better gacha pulls (i.e., high-tier characters or weapons) at the beginning of your Genshin Impact journey. In other words, you get the characters or weapons of your wish to play without spending any real money, it happens by creating a new account and using the valuable early access bonuses. Since Genshin Impact is a gacha game, luck plays a big role in your first summons, and rerolling is a way to reset your fate if you’re not happy with your initial rolls. Sounds simple? It kind of is—but it also requires patience and time.
How to Reroll in Genshin Impact
On PC and Mobile, you can create a new account easily with a new email or username – you can signup through miHoYo’s official website with only a username and don’t even need an email. But for PS4/PS5, rerolling is not possible unless you make a brand-new PlayStation Network (PSN) account – it’s not worth the hassle.
You’ll need to speedrun the tutorial and reach Adventurer Rank 5 to unlock the Wish system. It usually takes 20-40 minutes, depending on how quickly you blaze through the intro. Once you hit Adventurer Rank 5, check your mailbox for rewards, including Acquaint Fates and Primogems. Pushing to Adventurer Rank 7 gives you even more free pulls.
After that, go to the Wish menu by clicking the star on the top right corner of the main screen and spend your Acquaint Fates. The best way is to use the Beginner’s Wish banner, as it guarantees a 4-star character (Noelle) within your first 10 pulls. If you land a top-tier 5-star character such as Diluc, Venti, Jean, or Mona, you will have achieved your goal. Until then, log out, create a new account, and repeat the process to collect these 5-star gems.

Is it Possible to Reroll on PS4?
Yes, unless you want to go through the process of making a new PSN account, you receive whatever you get on your first move if you want to reroll your PS4 game on a different PS4 console. Creating a new Genshin Impact account is much simpler and faster for PC, tablet, and mobile users, and it makes rerolling much more convenient but not in the case of a console.
Best Characters to Reroll in Genshin Impact
Not all characters are created equal. If you’re going through the hard effort of rerolling, you should aim for these characters:
Top 5-Star Picks
⭐ Venti – God-tier crowd control.
⭐ Diluc – One of the strongest Pyro DPS units.
⭐ Jean – Healer + decent damage = win-win.
⭐ Mona – High burst Hydro damage and excellent mobility.
⭐ Nahida (if available) – One of the best Dendro characters.
Decent 4-Star Characters (If You Can’t Get a 5-Star)
⭐ Xiangling – Free later, but still great.
⭐ Bennett – Best support in the game.
⭐ Fischl – Excellent Electro DPS & support.
Should You Reroll in Genshin Impact?
One of the biggest advantages of rerolling is that it allows you to start the game with a powerful 5-star character. This can make early content much easier, allowing you to progress faster and clear tougher enemies without much effort. Further, securing a strong character early on helps you avoid wasting resources on weaker units you can replace later.
However, rerolling comes with its fair share of downsides. The process is time-consuming, usually takes at least 20 to 30 minutes per attempt, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll get the character you are after. Even after multiple tries, you could still end up with bad rolls. However, playing your normal games earns you a lot of Primogems, which you can use to unlock characters over time.
So, if you’re a hardcore min-maxer who wants the best start, rerolling can be worth it—but it’s a grind. For most players, though, it’s not necessary. Genshin Impact gives plenty of Primogems and free 4-star characters just by playing. Further, powerful 5-star characters eventually return in banners, so you can always try for them later.
FAQs
Can You Get Banned for Rerolling?
No, Genshin Impact doesn’t ban you for rerolling unless you do the things in wrong way such as selling accounts, which is against the game’s terms of service.
What’s the Fastest Reroll Method?
To do it in the shortest time, skip all unnecessary dialogue and sprint to objectives instead of fighting everything. Use climbing shortcuts when heading to Mondstadt and focus only on unlocking Wishes right away. If done correctly, you can reroll in under 30 minutes per attempt.
