Genshin F2P Guide: Maximize Primogems & Build Abyss Teams!
Are you a Free-to-Play (F2P) Traveler navigating Teyvat? Genshin Impact is incredibly F2P-friendly, but reaching 36 stars in the Spiral Abyss requires strict resource management and smart character investment. This guide will show you how to maximize your Primogems, build formidable teams with 4-star characters and free weapons, and conquer all of Teyvat without spending a single dime.
I. Primogem Mastery: Maximizing Your Pity
Primogems are the most precious currency for any F2P account. Every single Primogem counts toward securing the 5-star characters you need.
1. The Fixed Income Stream (Consistency is Key)
- Daily Commissions: Always complete your four Daily Commissions for a total of 60 Primogems and increased Adventure Rank (AR) EXP. Missing a day is losing six days of wish currency.
- Spiral Abyss: This resets twice a month and is the highest recurring source of Primogems (up to 600). Even if you can only clear a few floors, those Jades are essential.
- Events & Quests: Prioritize Major Events (often grant 420 to 1000+ Primogems). Always complete new Archon Quests and World Quests for guaranteed rewards.
2. Eternal Resources & Quick Boosts
- Achievement Hunting: Regularly check your Achievements tab. Many small tasks grant 5-20 Primogems instantly.
- Exploration: Open chests, complete World Quests, and offer items to the Seven Statues and regional trees (e.g., Tree of Dreams) for consistent, one-time Primogem rewards.
- Trial Runs: Always participate in the limited-time character trials in the event banners for an easy 20 Primogems per trial.
- Redeem Codes: HoYoverse frequently releases time-limited codes, often during Special Programs, providing Primogems, Mora, and resources. This is critical for F2P players to hit Pity thresholds.
3. Resin Management (Original Resin)
- Never Cap Resin: Ensure your Original Resin is spent before logging off. Wasting Resin is wasting potential materials.
- Resin Priority (AR 1-45): Use Resin for Weapon/Character Ascension Materials and EXP Books (Ley Line Outcrops).
- Resin Priority (AR 45+): Focus Resin primarily on Artifact Domains, as this level guarantees at least one 5-star Artifact drop.
II. Teambuilding Secrets: The Power of the 4-Stars
F2P success in Genshin Impact hinges on maximizing the potential of powerful 4-star characters and optimizing Elemental Reactions.
1. The F2P National Team (The Core 4-Star Engine)
This core combination is known for its ability to clear the Abyss at the highest level with minimal investment:
- Xiangling: An S-Tier Pyro Sub-DPS. Her Pyronado (Burst) deals massive off-field damage and enables strong Vaporize/Melt reactions.
- Xingqiu: The undisputed best Hydro Sub-DPS. Provides consistent Hydro application and damage reduction.
- Bennett: The ultimate Pyro Support. Provides massive ATK buffs and potent healing.
2. Modern F2P Meta Reactions
Focus on team compositions that leverage the power of Dendro reactions, as they are less reliant on perfect Crit stats and more on Elemental Mastery (EM), which is easier to farm.
| Reaction | Core F2P Characters | Investment Focus | Why It Works F2P |
| Hyperbloom | Dendro MC/Collei, Xingqiu/Barbara, Kuki Shinobu/Lisa | Elemental Mastery (EM) on the Electro Trigger | Damage scales on EM/Level, minimizing Artifact stress. |
| Vaporize | Xiangling, Bennett, Xingqiu, Anemo (Sucrose/Lynette) | Energy Recharge (ER) and ATK% | High F2P damage ceiling through easy access to strong 4-star supports. |
3. F2P Weapon & Artifact Acquisition
- Free 5-Star Weapon: Obtain craftable weapons from the Blacksmith.
- Inazuma/Sumeru Craftables: Weapons like Amenoma Kageuchi (Sword) or The Catch (Polearm, obtainable from fishing) are extremely strong F2P options.
- Artifact Priority: Always aim for the correct Main Stat before focusing on Substats. Use the Artifact Strongbox system to convert unneeded 5-star pieces into the core 5-star sets you need (e.g., Emblem of Severed Fate for Xiangling/Xingqiu).
III. Account Progression: Talent & Constellation Wisdom
Where you spend your resources (Mora and materials) determines the power gap between your characters.
1. Talent Priority (Crowning F2P)
- DPS/Sub-DPS: Prioritize talents that dictate damage (Burst/Skill).
- Example: Xiangling’s Burst > Skill > Normal Attack.
- Support/Healer: Prioritize talents that dictate utility (Buff/Heal scaling).
- Example: Bennett’s Burst (Buffs ATK and heals).
2. Cautious Constellation Hunting
As F2P, never pull on a 5-star banner solely for 4-star Constellations (C’s). Wait until the featured 5-star is also someone you want.
- Must-Have 4-Star C’s: Aim to get C6 for the National Trio (Xiangling, Xingqiu, Bennett) over time. These constellations unlock significant power spikes that compete with 5-star units.
