Primogems are the most valuable currency in Genshin Impact, so spending them wisely can make a huge difference over time. While there are several ways to use Primogems, most players will get the best value by saving them for Intertwined Fates to pull on limited-time character banners. For most players, new characters provide the biggest boost to an account. Unless you have a specific goal in mind, it’s usually better to save your Primogems until a character you really want is featured.
In general, it’s best to avoid spending Primogems on Acquaint Fates or using them to refill Original Resin. Acquaint Fates can be earned for free through gameplay, while Resin naturally regenerates over time. Using Primogems on either option usually provides less long-term value than saving for limited banners.
The weapon banner can be worthwhile, but it’s generally recommended for players who already have a strong roster of characters. Newer players will benefit much more from expanding their collection with versatile characters before investing in weapons. If you’re a free-to-play or low-spending player, patience is one of your greatest advantages. Saving Primogems between banners gives you a much better chance of guaranteeing the characters you want, helping you build stronger teams without relying on luck alone.
