Main ways to get characters

• The “Wish” (gacha) system

• The most common way is by using the game’s gacha system — called “Wishes.”
• You use special items — Intertwined Fate for limited-time (event) character banners, or Acquaint Fate for the standard (ever-available) banner. Alternatively, you can use Primogems, which you can earn in-game (or buy) and convert into Fates.
• Because it’s random, you’re not guaranteed a “good” character — but there is a “pity” system that helps ensure rarer drops after many pulls.

• Free / guaranteed/unlocked-by-progress characters

• Some characters are unlocked for free as part of the game's story or through other in-game progressions: for example, early quests (Archon/story quests), reaching certain Adventure Rank milestones, or clearing certain game content.
• Example early-game (free/unlocked-by-progress) characters: the initial “Traveler,” and early-game characters like those unlocked in the beginner stages.

• Special methods — shops, events, and “Starglitter” exchange

• Sometimes you can use special currencies earned through the Wish system — such as Masterless Starglitter — to buy characters from certain in-game shops.
• Occasionally, limited-time events or special promotions may grant characters (or reruns) either for free or at a discounted ‘cost’.

🔎 What to Know / Tips

• Because the Wish system relies on randomness (“gacha”), you might end up with duplicates — duplicates increase your “Starglitter,” which you can use to exchange for other characters or items eventually.
• If you’re more “free-to-play,” focusing on the free/unlocked-by-progress characters + saving wishes or Starglitter is a good strategy.

• • Limited-time banners often feature newer or more powerful (5★) characters — but because they rotate, if you have someone in mind, it’s worth saving your Fates/Primogems for when that character’s banner is live.
