To get the Raiden Shogun from zero pity without losing 50/50, players will need 14,400 Primogems. This accounts for summoning all the way to 90 wishes to guarantee that they will get Baal.

If they do lose their 50/50 however, this estimate shoots up to 28,800 Primogems, which can be a large amount if players haven't been saving up. If players really want to guarantee their acquisition of the Raiden Shogun, 28,800 Primogems will make their chances 100 percent.

How many Primogems with soft pity

When soft pity comes into play, the exact amount of Primogems that gamers will need begins to vary. Soft pity is heavily reliant on luck as it begins to take place around the 75-80 mark. However, it isn't the most reliable way to guarantee a 5-star.

Many players still shoot for soft pity as it costs significantly fewer Primogems. To hit the 75-80 mark, gamers will want to have at least 12,000 Primogems saved up.
