Genshin Impact’s Version 6.7 Luna VIII releases globally on July 1, 2026. It is the final Song of the Welkin Moon patch and the last stop in the Nod-Krai cycle before the long-awaited move to Snezhnaya in Version 7.0 on August 12. With a brand-new five-star in Sandrone, reruns for Citlali, Columbina, and Raiden Shogun, an entirely new lunar region to explore, and a summer flagship event, the question on every Traveler’s mind is simple: how many pulls can we actually get? Knowing your count ahead of time is the difference between winning a 50/50 and staring at a failed-to-pull screen. Here is the full Luna VIII pull count, broken down by player type, by phase, and by exactly where every Primogem comes from.

Luna VIII Pull Count Overview: F2P vs. Welkin vs. Battle Pass
Because Luna VIII adds a new explorable region, it is more generous than a typical “dry” patch, which usually nets around 60 pulls for free players. Based on the latest beta leaks and the June 18 Special Program, here is how the totals shake out across the three main player types. If you find yourself a little short of a guarantee, many Travelers keep a buffer by topping up through a platform like LootBar, which lists Genshin top-ups at a discount off the in-client price.
Player Category | Total Primogems | Intertwined Fates | Total Limited Pulls | Acquaint Fates |
F2P (Free-to-Play) | 11,980 | 10 | ~84 | 19 |
Welkin Moon Only | 15,760 | 10 | ~107 | 19 |
Welkin + Battle Pass | 16,440 | 14 | ~116 | 19 |
At 160 Primogems per wish, a completionist free-to-play Traveler is looking at roughly 84 pulls on the limited Character Event Wish banners, plus 19 on the standard banner. Add the Blessing of the Welkin Moon and you climb to about 107 pulls; stack the paid Battle Pass on top and you reach around 116 — comfortably enough to guarantee a featured five-star and then some.

Pull Distribution by Phase
Timing matters as much as the total. Luna VIII front-loads its income: the one-time rewards from update maintenance, the new map, and the flagship event all arrive at launch, so Phase 1 carries the larger share of the budget.
Phase 1: Sandrone & Citlali (July 1 – July 21)
Estimated free pulls: around 52–55. This phase holds the bulk of the patch’s one-time income — the 600-Primogem maintenance compensation, the three livestream codes, most of the new Frost Moon exploration rewards, and the flagship Sunny Summer Fontinalia event, plus the first reset of Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and Stygian Onslaught. If Sandrone is your target, the good news is that most of the patch’s budget is available right at the start.

Phase 2: Columbina & Raiden Shogun (July 21 – August 11)
Estimated free pulls: around 29–32. The raw count is lighter here, leaning on the second endgame reset, the two side events, and the monthly Stardust shop reset. Phase 2 also runs a limited Lightrace Event Wish featuring Wriothesley, Yae Miko, Mizuki, Qiqi, and Cyno alongside their signature weapons, so factor that in if any of those units interest you.

Where the Primogems Come From: Full Breakdown
To reach that 11,980-Primogem total as a free player, you will want to touch every part of the update. Note there is no Archon Quest this patch, so exploration and endgame modes carry more weight than usual. Here is where it all comes from.
Daily & Weekly Sources
• Daily Commissions: 2,520 Primogems (60 per day across the roughly 42-day patch).
• Paimon’s Bargains (Stardust shop): Intertwined and Acquaint Fates — save your Stardust for the monthly reset to grab both batches.
• Welkin Moon (if subscribed): 3,780 Primogems over the patch; Battle Pass adds 680 Primogems and 4 Intertwined Fates.
One-Time Rewards
• Frost Moon exploration: around 2,020 Primogems from the new lunar region’s chests, puzzles, and waypoints, with a bonus for finishing inside the limited-time window.
• New-area offering system: roughly 500 Primogems plus a few Intertwined Fates.
• Update maintenance: 600 Primogems, mailed to you at launch.
• Livestream codes: 300 Primogems from the three codes revealed on June 18 (redeem within 24 hours).
• Story & world quests: around 220 Primogems.
• New achievements: around 250 Primogems.
Limited-Time Events
• Sunny Summer Fontinalia (flagship): about 1,000 Primogems. The Fontinalia Film Festival returns to Fontaine aboard Wriothesley’s airship, The Wingalet, with aquarium minigames; clearing it also grants a free 4-star Charlotte and her new Hurlock Variations skin.
• Dance Dance Easy-Breezy Disco: about 420 Primogems. A returning dance event at Natlan’s Easybreeze Holiday Resort.
• Final Long-Range Sightlines: about 420 Primogems. A sharpshooting challenge testing your long-range aim.
Endgame & Challenge Modes
• Imaginarium Theater: 2,000 Primogems for a full clear.
• Spiral Abyss: 800 Primogems per full 36-star clear.
• Stygian Onslaught: 450 Primogems from the 6.x-era combat challenge.
Tip: if you can full-clear the three endgame modes, that is over 3,200 Primogems on its own — skipping them drops your count by roughly 20 pulls.
How Far Do Those Pulls Actually Get You?
Genshin’s pity system decides what your count is really worth. On a Character Event Wish banner, a five-star is guaranteed by 90 pulls (hard pity), with the rate ramping up sharply from around pull 74 (soft pity). Thanks to the 50/50 system, your first five-star has only a 50% chance of being the featured character; lose that coin flip and your next five-star is guaranteed to be the featured one. So the true worst case to lock a specific character is up to 180 pulls.
In practice, at roughly 84 pulls a free-to-play Traveler can almost certainly secure one five-star and will likely land the featured character on a 50/50 win. Welkin and Battle Pass players near 116 pulls have a strong shot at a guaranteed featured five-star with pulls to spare. Chasing two specific characters across both phases, however, will usually mean dipping into a saved stockpile.
Maximizing Your Pulls in Luna VIII
To stretch your count, redeem the three livestream codes for 300 free Primogems before they expire, fully clear the Frost Moon region within its limited-time bonus window for the complete 2,020 Primogems, and full-clear Imaginarium Theater, Spiral Abyss, and Stygian Onslaught for another 3,200-plus combined. If you are still a few pulls short of a guarantee when a banner you want drops, grabbing a discounted LootBar deal on your next Genshin Impact top up is a cheaper, safer way to close the gap than paying full client price. A handful of extra Genesis Crystals can be the difference between winning a 50/50 and walking away empty-handed.
Conclusion
Luna VIII is a refreshingly generous send-off for the Welkin era, handing free Travelers around 84 pulls and dedicated players up to roughly 116 once Welkin and the Battle Pass are added. With over 2,500 Primogems tied to the new Frost Moon region alone, the players who hunt down every chest will walk away with the best shot at their target. With Sandrone debuting and Columbina and Raiden returning right before the jump to Snezhnaya, plan your wishes carefully — and remember these figures are estimates until the version goes fully live, so adjust as the final numbers settle.
