During the presentation of version 5.0 of Genshin ImpactHoyoverse revealed a new mechanic called ‘Capturing the Radiance’ that will be activated when we are trying to get a five-star character in their gachapon. In theory, this should make it easier to obtain the character in question, but there are many doubts about it so we are going to explain what it consists of.
Before we begin, we need to remember how gachapons work in this game. Every three weeks there are two gachapons or ‘banners’ advertising characters available, each with a five-star character featured. We can spend ‘Intertwined Fate’ to make wishes on them and There is a very low chance of getting a 5-star character, but the game ensures that we will get one every 90 attempts. If the first 5-star character we get from this gachapon is not the featured one, the game ensures that the next one in the same banner will be the featured one.
This is how the new ‘Glow Capture’ system works
In the presentation, they showed how when making a ‘wish’ or ‘pull’ we can see an image of a Fate intertwined in the gachapon animation. If we see this, we will be sure that we will get the five-star featured character from that banner. Genshin Impact.
Capturing the glow It can only be activated when we get a five-star character but we are not guaranteed that it will be the highlight of that ‘banner’. That is, when we have the 50/50. There is only a low chance of triggering this, but that means that there is still a higher chance of getting the featured character than a five-star one. Specifically, 5% more
Thanks to this new mechanics Genshin Impact, 50/50 basically ceases to exist when it comes to getting 5 star characters. After the arrival of version 5.0, it will be a 55/45If Capture the Radiance does not trigger and we do not get the featured character, the next 5-star character we draw has a 100% chance of being the featured character (although that may take 90 more attempts).
This new mechanic does not apply to the weapon gachapon.
