Genshin Impact Update 5.4: 9,350 Free Primogems and the Arrival of Yumizuki Mizuki
Genshin Impact players are in for a treat with Update 5.4, offering a generous 9,350 free Primogems—enough for approximately 58 pulls on the gacha banners. This windfall is confirmed by a newly released chart detailing the expected free Primogem acquisition. Primogems are the in-game currency used to obtain Acquaint and Intertwined Fates, essential for summoning characters and weapons.
The update's highlight is the introduction of Yumizuki Mizuki, a 5-star character from Inazuma. Her arrival has sparked speculation about a return to the Electro nation's storyline. While HoYoverse hasn't officially revealed her release date, she's anticipated to feature in the first banner cycle of Version 5.4, aligning with the game's usual release pattern for new 5-star characters.
The abundance of free Primogems isn't solely due to Update 5.4. The ongoing Version 5.3's Lantern Rite Festival is also providing a significant amount of free rewards. Daily Commissions, quick and easy quests, remain a consistent source of free Primogems for players.
Mizuki's rumored role as a 5-star Anemo support character suggests broad compatibility with the existing roster, given Anemo's status as a versatile element that boosts other elemental reactions. This, combined with the plentiful free Primogems, positions many players to successfully acquire her. The 10-wish pity system ensures at least five or six new 4-star characters even if Mizuki eludes players. The gacha system, while a key revenue generator for HoYoverse, is balanced by readily accessible free Primogems through consistent in-game activities.
