Genshin Impact 4.5: new wish type

Genshin Impact update 4.5 will introduce a new type of wish to the game, the Chronicled Wish. It works somewhat similar to the regular weapon banner in that you can select a specific character or weapon to aim for with your pulls. If you don’t get the desired item, you’ll receive a Fate Point, which guarantees your next 5-Star pull to be designated item.

Chronicled Wish banners have the same pity system as other banners (you are guaranteed to receive a 5-Star item every 90 pulls) and the pity count carries over between Chronicled Wish periods – Fate Points, on the other hand, do not.

Pulling from the Chronicled Wish banner requires the use of Intertwined Fates, which is the same in-game currency that’s needed for time-limited banners.
