How many pulls do you need in Genshin Impact?
Every pull on the Genshin Impact Character Event banner costs 160 Primogems, so the question "how many pulls?" is really "how many Primogems?". The tables below answer both for every milestone that matters: a comfortable 50%, a safe 90%, the soft pity threshold at pull 74, the hard pity at 90 and the full featured guarantee at 180. All figures start from pity 0; the calculator lets you plug in your own counter.
