How much do you need for a day-one Archon banner?
History is a decent guide: Archon banners run in the version's first phase far more often than not, and day-one hype banners are exactly when saving discipline pays off. From a fresh 0 pity with no guarantee, the median player needs ~90 wishes for the featured 5★ and the unlucky tail needs up to 180 — check the planner's odds line against your actual pity rather than budgeting on folklore.
Between now and August 12
Dailies alone add roughly 60 Primogems × the days remaining; Welkin doubles-plus that. The 6.x closing patches historically carry heavier event income than average (anniversary-adjacent), so if you clear events diligently, nudge the editable event estimate up rather than down.
Frequently asked
When does Genshin 7.0 release?
August 12, 2026 — announced by HoYoverse. Version 6.8 was skipped so Snezhnaya could launch as a full flagship update.
Is the Tsaritsa on the first 7.0 banner?
Not officially confirmed at time of writing. Archon-level characters have overwhelmingly headlined their region's launch version, which is why this page defaults to planning for day one. It will be updated the moment the banner schedule is published.
How many pulls should I save for the Tsaritsa?
From zero pity with no guarantee: ~90 wishes gives you roughly even odds; ~155 covers you at 90% confidence; 180 is the mathematical worst case. Enter your true pity above for numbers that fit your account.
