  1. On the other hand Itto has very little synergy with units outside of geo element so I guess it's hard to give him some synergy on the banner. And Barbara tax have to happen from time to time.

  2. I’m honestly excited about the 4 stars. My Barbara has been sitting at c5 for months, and I really want her c6 revival. Xiangling is still at c1 for:me, and obviously I don’t have gorou. Since I only have 9 wishes plus whatever I get from events, I’m not super worried about c100 Barbara. Plus I’m at 75 wishes, so I’m guaranteed a 5 star soon anyway and don’t need to pull like 40 times

  3. There is no real supports that benefit the niche of def scaling geo so any supports in that banner would be non optimal, but this always was the case, there is no 4* that bring this essential support to itto besides gorou . So yeah, you basically summon for Itto and hope to get c4+ gorou on the proccess .

  4. Crystalize reaction has some synergy with Gorou, and healing is better than shielding with corrosion in Abyss. So jokes on you, Barbara isn't a bad pickup. Also Barbara can reduce stamina consumption, use thrilling tales, bonus damage from clam set, at c2 gives 15% hydro DMG for hydro teams, and has a revive on c6. And Xiangling is just an awesome unit. Only problem is that I have both of them at c6

  5. The banner sucks and as a low spender, it really makes me want to reconsider. I’ll probably just end up waiting until the next live stream update before making any final decisions. Personally, I think they should have Fischl instead of Xiangling, that way there’s some off field damage and energy regeneration. Plus, how are you gonna put her bow on the banner and not the unit herself. Unless MHY is trying to insinuate that her bow and the Skyward harp is good on Gorou lmao. As for Barbara, she’s not great but she was overdue and I guess a healer is nice for newer players. I still have C0, but it doesn’t mean I’m looking anymore forward to pulling her if I do summon. 😅

  6. not sure how many pulls im going to drop into it… i thought i would dump all of them and see where it takes me…
    but now im more tempted to try my luck at the weapon banner tbh.. also putting units that have been in the game since the start means that a bunch of people have them C6

  7. I thought they would of thrown Fischl or Kujiou Sara in there since Fischl hasn't been on a banner for a while and Sara is new. Hell I would of done a few multis on my alt account for Fischl if she was on bc I dont have her yet.

    Also Xiangling and Barbara are both free early game, making thus banner make even less sense. Ez skip for me

  8. This banner makes me unable to pull for Itto. My Barbara and Xiangling are already C6. If I hit pity and lose the 50/50, I’d have nothing to show for it. I guess I’d be able to use Gouro with my Albedo, if I pulled him, but I don’t really need Gouro.

  9. Valk i respectfully strongly disagree… out of the 4* Barbara, Xlee and Fishl are the best candidates for a 4th slot on a full geo team.
    We just got Noelle which is terrible in the same team as Itto btw, and if the leaks are true people are getting a free Ningguang on the next patch which is miles better than Noelle at least.
    You said that C4 Gorou heals but not everyone is a whale/dolphin… f2p and low spender need a way to cover erosion (imagine how shitty Itto would look if a newby rolls for it and can't even farm his mats because they don't have an healer).
    I think the banner kinda sucks too but it's only because i already have built Barbara and Xlee and while i can use the constellations i would rather get a new 4*.

  10. I disagree. Xiangling is an offfield sub DPS. She adds to damage while allowing for crystallize shields. Gouro get max support with 3 Geo units. Everyone has Geo Traveller and Noelle. So everyone can get max stacks.

  11. Yes to having Noelle again on this banner. I've been trying to get her constellations since the update (still C3) but I've pulled Bennett six times back to back and of course I've already maxed and capped him at and kept him at C5 before all that. Did meet Eula along the way though so I am grateful I got Amber's bestie for lore comp sake.

  12. I'm definitely pulling on these banners. I only have 20 pulls until I'm guaranteed a 5 star character, and I have the guaranteed for the banner 5 star. I also really like Itto, and Gurou. And my luck on banners us pretty high with getting 4 stars, I only had a problem once when getting Thoma, but I still got him in the end. So yeah, I'm pulling, and hopefully I get Itto's weapon as well.

  13. maybe worst for you and for millions of other meta slaves but that doesnt mean geo team cant beat spiral abyss or any other content in the game!if a whale decides to spend the money on itto and gorou they will do it regardless youtubers opinions,and i guess even some f2p and dolphins will roll for at least 1 copy of itto or a copy of redhorn or even both if they get lucky,so thats just another nonsense rant youtube video i would say despretation of content 🙂

  14. The Redhorn Stonethresher is THE WORST 5-STAR EVENT EXCLUSIVE WEAPON. Here are my reasons:
    1) It does not go well with Itto because it cannot increase DEF on its own and has Cringe DMG instead.
    2) The effects forces you to whale on it to get max DEF value on it forcing characters like Itto and Noelle to get subpar value on the weapon.
    3) Nowhere in the 2.3 special program did they say "Itto scales with Crit. DMG" while the weapon does not have something like "ATK SPD +15%" or some sort of benefit that would help more characters along the way.

  15. To be fair they did this to keep element variety in the banner. The problem is that geo only synergizes with geo so they had to either throw in a full geo banner or just 2 random characters that wont synergize with geo (because only geo does…).

  16. Honestly, I'm starting to think we need to bury this concept of "Banner Synergy". It's no longer applicable, if it ever truly was. This is a Gacha game with some TCG-esque "deck building" elements. You're supposed to own as many as possible, if not all the characters, and if not, then work with what you got. That is how I view it. I am a Welking+Hymn Dolphin. I have 33 characters. All the 4-Starts and an eclectic mix of 5-Stars. I rank a banner by "peripheral benefits". Like, what characters I don't have as C6 yet. And where the offered characters fit on my teams and with my fav five-stars.

    Right now, I feel like I'm getting more bang for my buck. Why? Xiangling is VERY good as a combo with my Tartaglia, easy Vaporizes galore! My Xiangling is C2, so if I can get her to C4 for the longer Pyronado? That's a win! Barbara? Mine is C1, and I wouldn't say no to more. Put the new 2.3 "Clam" set on her, and she'll do quite good side-damage even if she's built like a classic Final Fantasy "White Mage"… and does splash damage with attacks at best! Funnily enough, she synergizes with Xiangling. Her splashes are still hydro application for vaporizes, and DPS Barbara is a thing. I've seen it work. I don't have Kokomi, but I do have Tartaglia, C6 Xingqiu, and Mona, so my Barbara is my best ~White Mage~, I don't need her to vaporize, but someone who is not as blessed as me, needs to keep their options open. That's my build philosophy. Cover all the bases.

    As for Gorou? I want him. Period. He'll work with my Albedo and C6 Noelle with "Husk of Opulent Dreams" on both. Itto? If I can get him? Why not. I'm likely going to hit pity on his banner, so I'll take the 50/50. So quite frankly, I consider this banner a win for ME personally. Noelle wouldn't have appeared on this banner, as she is on the outgoing banner, would also be a second Geo on the same banner. They don't do element duplication. Xinqiu was on banner relatively recently, Barbara was not. This banner dots the Is and crosses the Ts of who hasn't popped in recently. I think we have to get used to it, the character pool is getting a little too chaotic for clean "banner synergy".

  17. Sometimes you guys just look at the surface and judge everything mihoyo does. You don’t realize that the employees also have a brain and think deeply about what they are doing. What if the next banners coming up will need those 4 stars. Because we are only limited to the information that we know not the information that they know we can’t just judge them

  18. C99 Barbara and Xiangling let's GOOO!! I just wish the weapon banner could've been Zhongli's spear or sumn else. I already owned 2 harps so I'm gonna skip the weapon.

  19. I have C6 Barbara who I don't use, but if I get her, at least I get more starglitter for blackcliff weapons. Xiangling is someone who I could use more constellations for; great as an off-field DPS. Gorou…I'm not 100% sure. I'm still holding out hope that I'll get Albedo, but given I lost 50/50 to C1 Keqing, and I'm nearing soft pity, it seems unlikely (I did get C5 Bennett, so I can't complain too much).

    Even regarding the last banner, seemed kinda random to throw Freedom Sworn on there, since it's best for Kazuha, and that's it. Albedo doesn't really benefit from it other than it being a sword. I'm guaranteed whoever I get (Albedo or Itto), but I might skip until 2.4 (depending on what 5* characters are there). We'll see.

  20. tbh my xiangling and barbara are lacking cons, only c1 XL and c2 barb
    i see people whining about barbara being on the banner but she's only been on 4 banners in the entire game so far i think

    Reply
  21. I don't really mind them putting barbara there since I use her in my budget freeze team but them putting Xiangling there seems like a desperate decision to me since they know how geo is kinda bad in term of elemental synergies. Therefore they need to pick other popular character to boost the banner popularity. Bennett already appeared once on this patch which is on Albedo/Eula banner so they can't bring him back to this banner. So how else they gonna boost Itto banner's sale? Yes, put the most popular 4 star, Xiangling into this banner even tho it has absolutely no synergy with the 5 star.

  22. I was already skipping because I now just recently got a guarantee locked up and I’d rather wait/save for Yae (even if she ultimately sucks). I hope I can luck out and get the weapon early tho
