How Many Pulls Can You Get in Genshin 5.6 Phase 1? ExploreGenshin

Version 5.6 has officially launched, and with major characters like Escoffier and Navia featured in Phase 1 banners, players are asking the big question: how many Primogems can you realistically earn without spending a dime?

Whether you’re saving for Skirk in 5.7, pulling for Escoffier now, or just looking to maximize your free resources, here’s a complete breakdown of what the average player can expect in terms of Primogem income during Phase 1 of Version 5.6.

Daily Commissions: 1,260 Primogems

This phase spans 21 days (May 7–27), and completing daily commissions each day nets 60 Primogems. That’s a reliable and steady 1,260 Primogems—nothing fancy, but it’s the backbone of F2P income.

Quests and Story Content: 240 Primogems

Phase 1 brings the continuation of the Archon Quest, taking us back to Mondstadt, alongside Escoffier’s new Story Quest and a few smaller side missions. Together, this batch of content will earn you about 240 Primogems.

Spiral Abyss: 600–800 Primogems

If you’re able to 36-star the Abyss, that’s a clean 800 Primogems. But for most players who only complete up to Floor 11 or early Floor 12, a more realistic estimate is around 600 Primogems.

Small Sources Add Up

Don’t forget about smaller rewards:

Achievements: ~25 Primogems
New waypoint unlock: 5 Primogems
Trial characters (Escoffier & Navia): 40 Primogems
HoYoLAB daily check-ins: 60 Primogems

Together, that’s an additional 130 Primogems added to your stash.

Flagship Event – Whirling Waltz: 990 Primogems

Whirling Waltz is the headline event for this patch. Players will run a movie-themed amusement park, complete tasks, and earn up to 990 Primogems, plus a free 4-star bow: Sequence of Solitude.

The bow is especially great for HP-scaling characters like Yelan, with 510 base ATK and 41.3% HP bonus at level 90. You’ll also receive all the refinement materials to reach R5 for free.

Operation Downpour Simulation: 420 Primogems

This combat-focused event brings unique modifiers and rotating challenges. Finish all tasks and you’ll earn 420 Primogems, along with weapon enhancement materials.

Community Event – No Way Bro vs. No You: 30 Primogems

A casual community-style event. It takes very little effort, and you’ll get 30 Primogems just for participating.

Update Maintenance and Code: 660 Primogems

You’ll get 600 Primogems from the standard server maintenance and, almost certainly, 60 more from a mid-patch redemption code.

Total Free-to-Play Primogems for Phase 1: 4,330

That adds up to about 27 standard wishes—not bad, though not quite enough to guarantee a 5-star unless you’re already close to pity.

Welkin Moon Boost: +1,890 Primogems

If you have the Welkin Moon, your daily logins will earn you an additional 1,890 Primogems during this phase. That pushes your total to approximately 6,220 Primogems, or 39 wishes.

What’s Coming Next?

Skirk is all but confirmed for Version 5.7. Mavika could also rerun soon, and Raiden Shogun is returning in Phase 2 of 5.6. There’s also buzz about the Inazuma Chronicled Wish banner, so plenty of competition for your Primogems.

Final Tips: Pull Smart, Pull Happy

If you’re unsure about who to wish for, always go for characters you enjoy. The meta shifts constantly, but investing in characters you love ensures you’ll enjoy your time playing. Whether it’s Escoffier’s team utility or Navia’s stylish Geo bursts, the best choice is the one that feels right for you.
