Fortune Coin Management Tips
Important: Claiming the skin consumes 1,000 Fortune Coins. The event also offers a free 4-star Liyue character (Xingqiu, Gaming, Beidou, Yaoyao, etc.) for 1,000 coins. Since you can obtain enough coins on Day 1 and more through continued participation, prioritize the skin first—it becomes a paid-only item after the event ends, while characters remain accessible through wishes.
