Genshin Impact offers 24 playable characters and two different regions as of now. The various playable characters have a rarity attached to them. At current, we have 4-star characters that include some of the free playable characters like Amber, Kaeya, Lisa and a few others.

On the other hand, we have 5-star exotic characters that can be unlocked using the gacha-system or "Wish" in Genshin Impact. Only a few playable characters in the game are available for trial.

To try out other playable characters you have to use "wishes". However, the game also offers a "Test Run" system which enables you to try some of the exotic and rare characters without paying a single coin.

For now, players can try Venti(a timed 5-star character), Barbara and Fischl, for free. Just follow the steps mentioned below.
