Genshin Impact 6.4 Preview Overview — Varka Finally Arrives

Estimated Total Primogems in Version 6.4

Rough early estimates for free Primogem income:

• Version events: 420 Primogems
• Spiral Abyss reset: 800 Primogems
• Daily Commissions, achievements, and miscellaneous rewards: steady income
• Fully F2P players can expect roughly 1,500+ Primogems

As always, exact totals may vary depending on progression and event completion.

Version 6.4 Banners — Varka Debut + Major Reruns

This patch delivers a strong banner lineup with both a highly anticipated new character and powerful reruns.

Whether you pull for design, lore, or meta strength, planning your Primogems wisely will be important.

Phase I — New Character Spotlight

Rate-Up 5★ Characters:
• Varka (Anemo, Claymore)
• Filins (Rerun)

For players considering the rerun side of the banner, our breakdown of Flins rerun value covers his pull priority, role, and long-term account value. Varka officially joins the roster as a 5★ Anemo claymore wieler and Grand Master of Mondstadt’s Knights of Favonius.

From gameplay previews:

• Enters a high-speed combat stance through Elemental Skill
• Normal Attacks gain infusion effects
• Dual-damage interaction (Anemo + teammate-triggered Elemental effects)
• Hold Skill allows long-range leap mobility
• Strong exploration + combat utility balance

He appears designed as a flexible on-field DPS with team interaction potential. If you are deciding between the two Phase I headliners, see our Varka vs. Flins guide before spending your Primogems.

Phase II — Cryo Power Returns

Rate-Up 5★ Characters:
• Skirk (Rerun)
• Escoffier (Rerun)

Skirk remains one of the strongest Cryo main DPS options currently available. If you are torn between the two Cryo reruns, our Skirk or Escoffier guide breaks down who gives better value based on your roster and goals. Players lacking a dedicated Cryo carry may find this rerun especially valuable.

For investment priorities:

• Missing Escoffier? Consider pulling at least C0.
• Constellation upgrades: Escoffier C1 and Skirk C2 offer strong value improvements.

Mondstadt Chronicle Wish

The Mondstadt Chronicle Wish banner returns featuring:

Eula
Albedo
Klee
Mona
Diluc
Jean

Important note: Chronicle Wish banners do not share pity with standard event banners. Recommended primarily for dedicated fans of specific characters.
