How Many Primogems Can You Expect in Genshin 5.6 Phase 1? ExploreGenshin

With Version 5.6 releasing on May 7, 2025, many Genshin Impact players are scrambling to calculate whether they have enough primogems to secure characters like Escoffier, Navia, or prepare for Skirk in Version 5.7. Teyvat Tribune has broken down exactly what free-to-play and Welkin Moon players can expect during the first phase of this patch. Here’s everything you need to know.

Total Primogem Count: Phase 1 of Version 5.6

Let’s break down the sources and totals for primogems available from May 7 to May 27.

✅ Daily Commissions

60 primogems/day × 21 days = 1,260 primogems

✅ New Quests

Archon quest in Mondstadt, Escoffier’s story quest, and related side missions = 240 primogems

✅ Spiral Abyss

One reset (full 36 stars) = 800 primogems

Adjust this total based on how many floors you can clear.

✅ Small Stuff

Achievements: ~25 primogems
New teleport waypoint: 5 primogems
Character trials (Navia & Escoffier): 40 primogems

✅ Events

1. Whirling Waltz (May 9 – May 26)

Rewards: ~990 primogems + free 4-star bow “Sequence of Solitude” and R5 materials.

2. Operation Downpour Simulation (May 19 – June 3)

Rewards: 420 primogems

Despite continuing into Phase 2, the main rewards will be available in Phase 1.

3. Community Event – “No Way Bro vs. No You”

Just for participating = 30 primogems

✅ Update Maintenance & Redemption Code

Maintenance Compensation: 600 primogems
Expected patch code: 60 primogems

🔢 Grand Total (Free-to-Play)

4,470 primogems
= About 28 pulls

🔄 Welkin Moon Bonus

If you’re a Welkin Moon subscriber:

90 primogems/day × 21 days = 1,890 primogems

Total for Welkin Moon players:
6,360 primogems
= About 40 pulls

Is That Enough to Get a 5-Star?

Unless you’re already at or near soft pity, 28–40 pulls won’t guarantee a 5-star character. With characters like Escoffier and Navia headlining Phase 1, and Skirk and Mavika looming in upcoming patches, players may want to weigh their options carefully.

Reminder: Hoyoverse Dropped Over 700 Primogems in Surprise Codes

While these weren’t technically part of Phase 1, they dropped during the same week. These 710 bonus primogems—across 7 separate codes—should not be overlooked.

Subscribe to creators like Teyvat Tribune to stay ahead on code drops. Missing even one code could mean missing a free wish!

Final Advice

Pull for characters you love. The meta shifts constantly, but fun teams and favorites are timeless. Be smart with your resources, calculate your odds, but above all—enjoy the game.
