Is it too late to make a no-wish account?

Hey there, I am more or less done with the game in my main account. I have been itching for a unique way to play the game. No wish account kinda strikes me as the most appealing as I never really built the starter roster.

However so many characters were given free in limited events, I feel like I missed too much for it. What do you guys think? I'd like to hear some opinions.

Keep your current account as a no more wish account

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:44

I am not sure if that'd work, I am already set for years aganist power creep and honestly there arent alot left to do in my world.

Fantastic_Stay80592026-01-03 12:47

The way it's going you are set for maybe another 3 months of powercreep

UnderstandingLow16192026-01-03 12:32

I don't understand...

If you want to use many characters, pull.
If you just want a challenge, then why care the free characters given?

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:38

Because point is to see how far I can take the account without pulling for characters.

AlaindeshoGT2026-01-03 12:33

What did you do on your main account to be so bored? I can't even imagine..

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:37

100% on every region, I get 33-36 star in all abyss cycles and 8 star in imaginarium. Most of the story quests and hangout events. There really arent alot of content I didnt do in Genshin at this point, the remaining content are simply things I dont care about.

AlaindeshoGT2026-01-03 12:38

Which were your teams? Tell me about it and your favourite characters.

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:40

First team is Skirk premium with C1R1

Second.. Depends on what the current enemies needs. Its usually either Lunar-bloom team or raiden overload.

AlaindeshoGT2026-01-03 12:42

Oh, a Skirky enjoyer

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:43

Yep! She is the reason I got Escoffie to begin with.

AlaindeshoGT2026-01-03 12:46

Escoffier is like some of the most beatiful women on planet earth.

Like she's impressive. You don't like her?

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:50

She just didnt really strike as a interesting character honestly, its simply not my cup of tea. I got her mainly because I have a unhealthy obsession with almost all main-dps cryo units and she is best for all their teams lol. I am even wanting to get Ganyu next version despite her being one of the more powercrept characters.

AlaindeshoGT2026-01-03 12:54

Absolutly incredibe unit.

She's also too hot, like extremely hot lady

A crazy unit. Heals like a saint, hits like passenger ship

theweirdarthur2026-01-03 14:25

obviously if you dont care about it then totally fair enough but the fact that abyss is pretty much the easiest endgame these days and the fact that you're not even full staring the abyss reliably every rotation suggests your main account still has some ways to go, either in terms of artifact/character build quality or how you play.

If you want to challenge yourself why not put that effort into having an account that actually full clears each cycle? Just seems abit odd personally.

RedditStrider2026-01-03 14:42

Because there is nothing to "put effort" into anymore? I can clear most of the abyss runs to 36, however there are times where its so hyperspesific that I simply dont have the right characters to unlock. Thats not something you can counteract with grinding or putting effort, I already use all my resins and do the events. Only way to improve my account at this point is to wait for time-gated content and get primos out of them.

There is a non-zero chance that I would clear the non-36 stars too, but they end up being too tedious for me to bother. Its not really my goal to do 36 in this no-wish account, instead just to see how far I can take them.

theweirdarthur2026-01-03 14:59

lets see your builds.

RedditStrider2026-01-03 15:15

I am not sure how thats relevant to the topic here.

theweirdarthur2026-01-03 17:00

I was trying to work out if

>"Because there is nothing to "put effort" into anymore?"

was a factually true statement.

my suspicion based on the fact you have issues with the easiest of the 3 endgame modes is that there very well may be things to work on still.

it might be builds, it might be rotations and how you play but given your other comments here about having a fairly well invested skirk as well as lunar team it doesnt sound like its your character roster, which is what you're blaming it on.

Personally atleast i think you should set your sights higher, dire f2p clears are absolutely possible and probably feel more rewarding to achieve than merely playing through the story on a no-wish account.

to be clear im not trying to be rude or mean or anything, im just saying i think you still have room to grow your main account, but if it doesn't interest you then of course, you do you :)

RedditStrider2026-01-03 17:39

I think you are focusing on the wrong thing here. I already said that I use my resin regularly. And I would like to think my builds are more then suffice to do 36 star (Which I usually do, the ones I cant are just me giving up after a while). Problem isnt that builds are so perfect that there is no room for improvement, of course they arent. Problem is there is nothing I can actively grind in the game that will progress me anymore as I am done with most non time-locked content.

Right now, only thing I can do in the game is to wait for events and resin.

I am fine with sharing my enka, but I was simply confused why you would ask that when I am just looking for a discussion about no wish playthroughs.

AlaindeshoGT2026-01-03 15:48

Yeah, let's see them bilds

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-03 12:34

you're too late. give up

Awkward-Surprise2026-01-03 12:38

Well no one stopping from doing it. And question about being late or not it's never always too late. You asked now is it too late and someone will ask next year is it too late. What's matter is you starts now if you think you will enjoy doing it.

Also you will have free 4 star liyue character selection in upcoming update and now you have limited free bow with good off-field stats (if you rush that event).

RedditStrider2026-01-03 12:41

I guess that makes sense, I just wish I didnt miss the last anniversary. I think I'll just give it a go.

gacha_savior2026-01-03 12:46

Yes. Give up now.

dearmusic2026-01-03 12:56

If you do it now, you can get a free 5-star character, no pull required:

[https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Uncover\_Lunar\_Realms,\_Hone\_the\_Eventide\_Radiance/2025-10-22](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Uncover_Lunar_Realms,_Hone_the_Eventide_Radiance/2025-10-22)

And then get a free 4-star character at Lantern Rite.

RedditStrider2026-01-03 13:00

Wait thats still there!?

dearmusic2026-01-03 13:01

Not for current players, no, but for new players, the event never ended.

At least according to the wiki and one of my friends last week, I don't know about now tho, make an account and check it out.

All travalers who have completed registration and unlocked the Wish feature after the Version Luna II update should have this event.

RedditStrider2026-01-03 13:02

Thanks! That would absolutely make me go for it. Do you have any suggestions on which hero is best for this kind of setting?

dearmusic2026-01-03 13:15

I thought you knew this game inside out already and just wanted some challenges. I am sure you know how these characters function better than I do.

Most of the good 4-stars you get are supports. They either buff, shield, heal, or help with elemental reactions. So you need to think about DPS.

Since you don't pull, this event might be the only 5-star you can ever get.

If you build Dehya right, she can't die; she will keep healing herself and become a force to be reckoned with.

Mizuki is a great whirl support.

Hex Razor is a good DPS as well.

I don't know much about 4-stars and their combat abilities...

RedditStrider2026-01-03 13:28

I'll be real with you, aside from Jean I NEVER used any of the standart banner 5\* characters. My main account end up getting 3 Amos Bows in a row from Standart wishes LOL. So while I'd like to think I know alot about the game, I never had to use the standart characters and I was never too restricted in selections. Its why I want this challange in particular, to limit things and see how it goes.

I am thinking of Tighnari or Keqing. Though Mizuki does sound enticing aswell.

dearmusic2026-01-03 13:34

Now that I think about it... This is the list of characters you can have:

* Aino
* Amber
* Barbara
* Collei
* Kachina
* Kaeya
* Lisa
* Lynette
* Noelle
* Xiangling

So yeah, you definitely want a DPS for your 5-star selector...

Your shield is Noelle, heal is Barbara, you can wet with Aino and use Dehya for evaporate or something...

RedditStrider2026-01-03 14:23

Just for the confirmation, its still in effect. I am able to select a 5\* to get right now. Though I need to decide first haha.

I love keqing but Tighnari might just be the better choice here. Hes definetly the stronger of two.

codeledger2026-01-04 03:56

You are also forgetting the Witch's selector of Fischl, Sucrose, and Razor.

As the holder of a no-wish account i was finally able to get Sucrose. Missed out on getting the first Barbara and the first Fischl when I didn't understand the game. But then put in effort to be able to get Xingqiu at the first Lantern Rite.

Now with the Nod-Kai power creep deep end game is off-limits (I don't bother with Floor 12).

Also getting Noelle does require wishing on the beginner banner so depends on what rules you impose upon yourself.

RedditStrider2026-01-05 01:58

Would you suggest getting sucrose, Fischl or Razor btw? I picked keqing as a 5\* so I am not sure what to pick from those 3.

SecyaDenali2026-01-03 13:15

Tried it the abosolute best way imho is to do free standard wishes or standard plus int fates only since it does a couple of things:

You get starglitter from shop

You get free intertwined which youd never get if you've never wished. It'll make the teams stronger by default

Standard banner fates aren't worth alot holistically but you can snag some seriously good 4 star, 5 star weapons. I just started again recently and got a PJWS let alone getting an early Chevruese basically builds a team by itself.

Chev, Fischl and go from there.

Its legit impossible to clear endgame with just starter or free chars and no limitied and no wishing in general but there is a plausible scenario where this route it is. If you do strictly no wishing at all you actually harm the account rather than improve it via losing more important limited free pulls every month.

I just call it no the primogems challenge. Its either standard only or relaxed and use int fates you get over time but overall no primogems involved either method is definelty possible to 36 Star Abyss imho

A guy did a no wish account and got 500k primos..... his account would have been more dynamic if he used his standard and Int wishes for free because at some degree together it is self sufficient

RedditStrider2026-01-03 13:25

I have been going between standart only and no wish at all because as far as I can tell, Standart-only wont be able to clear 36 either so might aswell stick to a purist run. But you do make a good point with weapons, so I guess I'll reconsider it when I hit a wall.

Sharlizarda2026-01-03 14:59

I was going to suggest standard only as well.

In terms of being "too late" to start a no wish account, a standard banner only account would be more equivalent to a no wish account started earlier. Anyone with a couple of standard 5* characters given on the anniversaries would be getting their c1s now.

If you look at the weapons and characters given free so far, [1.0-6.0/Luna 1 compiled here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/RibrqhKPMZ) you could at least pull on standard untill you had a comparable number of 4* & 5* items to those that have been given out.

Excluding permanently available characters and weapons and the constellation selector events, players have been given something like 20 4* event weapons, 23 4* characters & 3 5* characters without wishes being required.

I think this would be more fun whilst still being very challenging
