The thing is in term of primogems,weapons can be more expensive as you stated in the video,and if you are talking about new characters,mora and wits usually aren't a problem for older players,you can prefarm talents as well and bosses as well,artifacts is the only hindrance,but again,that applies for everyone,or if the characters can use existing sets,it's not that bad (like my Ayaka borrows Rosaria's artifact)
I pull for 5* weapon cuz they look cool and are increasing my overall DMG that all I care about
Thank you for the video!
I tend to disagree, I think that even if there's a character you don't care for right now, there could be a character in the future that you would care for.
Even if you don't plan to use them in the spiral abyss, it's much more fun to have a new character to explore and hear their voice lines than a new weapon that doesn't talk.
i really find it cringey as fuck when people say you need 180 wishes to guarantee a character. while that's technically true it's fucking unrealistic as shit. soft pity exists and on average people get a 5star every 50-60 pulls. 100 is a more realistic number of wishes and tends to be enough even for the unlucky ones among us. remember the fact that 100 wishes is more like 110-120 depending on 4star luck because starglitter exists.
I planned to spend all my primogems to get c1 of Hu Tao but got lucky and got her c1 plus the Staff of Homa itself LOL
Still blessed by my PJC
the next weapon banner looks like the perfect match for my account, so I'll be pulling for the weapon banner again. had you told me months ago that i would be pulling for the weapon banner, i would've laughed, and now it's twice in a row 😭
I'm gonna spare for the redhorn claymore, couse my calculations say it's significantly better for diluc then wolf's gravestone, and i'm already 79 pulls on the weapon banner with a 50/50, not a 1/3, so i have a chance of getting it.
any idea if i should pull for c1 eula, weapon banner or just skip (i have guaranteed pity)
i have kazuha too so weapon banner can be really beneficial
Pulling for new 5 star characters is not for damage or to beat the abyss.. Its to give you a reason to play this game with easy and little content.. Playing with new character with new gameplay will help you to enjoy more and continue with genshin impact till the end
whel
Current weapon banner (elegy/homa) is so good, not to mention it includes new 4s weapons(moon /wavebreaker) which is at par with other 5s weapons (esp. skyward series) sort of broken imo.
Weap banner also includes sacrificial sword (for xingqiu / kazuha pseudo c1) best sacrificial series 4s weapon.
This banner is one of the best that ever came out since the start of genshin. If anyone thinks of pulling on weapon banner, this is the time imo.
Weapon banner so good in terms of linear power increase, but man, for me is just sitting with one character boring af. I want new powers, new mechanics to keep me in-game. it's awesome upgrade to get that sweet Amos or Homa, but in terms of gameplay you're get like more that nothing
That was my thought and I already have many characters so I gambled in weapon banner. It was super lucky for f2p like me and I still can't believe got Homa on first 10 pulls. But I won't courage to pull since it's a trap. If you already have at least 2 good dps and if both the weapons are good for your account, you should try. As f2p with only 2 or 1 5star weapon, any 5 stars weapons is valuable and since you have only 2 or 3 5star, there's less chance that you will get weapon you already have.
At the very end game, the only way to progress are thru 5star weapon.
Eventually there comes a point when you don't need more characters. Because certain characters are just built differently. Like Ganyu and Ayaka for example.
No reason for more cryo If you have either or both. So I think weapon banner is very much a time gated banner. Once you get to a certain point, they provide more power than a new character.
Not to mention the 4 star weapons and their refinements make the game much easier too, standard and chara banner isnt as much of a reliable source for some 4 star weapons so having pulled in the weapon banner quite a bit as a f2p player has helped me have all my charas well equipped.
Sure if your lucky
haha
imagine being lucky.
I got 3 5* weapon on the homa banner in total of 70 pulls.
I just pull Homa on its first appearance because I want it to not because I'll pull on Hutao but use it to anyone. But sometimes it feels like my Zhongli needs the Favonious cause of ER stat than the staf of homa CDMG and +20% HP bonus.
Zhongli + Homa = 69k
Zhongli + Favonious = 55k but more consistent Burst
Well I'll just use Homa to Shenhe I guess
As genshin doesn't have content difficult and much less rewarding enough for the need for T5 weapons, I see banner weapons like slowing down your game progress in getting new characters and enjoying their fun new mechanics. The only thing that really keeps Genshin relevant is the characters unfortunately. And to say that you like to make your favorite character as strong as possible is a very silly motivation, basically it's temporary satisfaction at the cost of money or future characters that you won't be able to get.
People don’t realize how overpowered 5 star weapons truly are, they are the same ones that can’t beat abyss with ease😂
🌸😹It is humble tongue to enrich the noggin and expand upon the proverbial horizon!😹🌸
5 Stars are good because of their base attack and their passives. The base attack already alone gives you 150 attack with a proper golden ratio build, which may not seem good but it really is. They're passives also carry them. Skyward Spine seems like a bad weapon but actually works better than most 4 stars as a dps weapon for Xiao because of the 8% crit rate, ER, and the high base attack makes up for the low crit and er. Obviously a weapon like blackcliff pole is probably better (Blackcliff weapons are the best 4 stars in the game apart from the battlepass weapons) but not likely by far. Still, you should never pull on the weapon banner, or at least you shouldn't pull on the weapon banner expecting a good weapon, cause you'll probably get fricked over.
I pulled an Amos Bow on standard awhile ago and since then I've been saving for Ganyu
After the Tectone-Homa disaster i have never pulled on the weapon banner, after seeing this new banner i made a small plunge and with my first 10 pull got Staff of Homa.
Asking here because I forgot where you mentioned it! Where can I go to find out how close my character is to their maximum potential?
so is everyone just gonna ignore that fact that he got hu tao 0_0
After my 200+ pulls to get Homa I really needed this copium. Thanks!
If you already have your characters well invested that the only thing left to do to get stronger is get weapons, THAT WOULD MEAN YOU CAN 36 STAR ABYSS AND DON'T NEED WEAPONS.
Your return on investment for getting weapons late game is 0 primogems. Unless they change how a character play for fun factor, they're worthless.
Weapon banner is a trap because you won't get the weapon you want or you still need to invest into your characters or you already invested in your characters which means you can 36 and an expensive $100 weapons will only shave a couple seconds off your already 36 star run.
Weapon banner is whale bait to take their money for essentially free, everyone else should largely leave it alone.
ngl before I got the skyward blade from the standard banner, my Prototype Rancour was doing decent dmg but after I got that weapon, I noticed a severe dmg gap between the 2 weapons at the same level, not to mention my Rancour was R2. Skyward blade also has a nasty amount of ER boost. They are imo they are necessary for beating spiral abyss but not that much required in the open world or exploration unless the devs plan to make the exploration harder than spiral abyss.
Yes your right and Guess what i got elegy and Skyward blade
😭
I have the same opinion about the fact that 5 stars weapon makes your build a lot easier. For me 5 stars weapon what makes your character complete. I have several dps character who have good avg dmg multiplier which more than 1 index (ex : crcd 61,8/180,6 means 1,116 multiplier, better than 50/200 which only 1,00 multiplier). But these dps character have less than 2000 atk. Only my Yanfei & Eula have more than 2000 atk stats with good avg dmg multiplier, but because these two have 5 stars weapon. 5 stars weapon sure makes your character a lot better built especially signature weapon.
Thanks for your video and making me think about that. I'm AR 56 since quite some time and only had one 5* weapon. Because of your video I decided to pull on the weapon banner yesterday. And I was lucky, after 50 pulls I got my Staff of Homa! So happy to finally have a good weapon for my Xiao or Zhongli 😊
I got mostly lucky on weapon banner because i didn't pull those skyward claymore, blade and spine.
The problem with this game is the abyss difficulty is just way way higher than anything else in the game. I finally got 34star and cleared floor 12 due to adding 5star weapon to my Childe but now that team is too strong for other content which makes that boring
I have never seen a gacha before where the weapons are more expensive than the limited characters themselves , genshin is really weird
Im saving for misplitter
Gotta get Ayaka first tho-
Glad Im lucky enough to pull SoH in First Path It Really Helps To Boost. The burst of my Zhong Ez 90-100K Meteor With Pyro Reso. (SoH Passive Not Included.)
Finding out that I still get 3 pulls w/o Full 🌟-ing Abyss (Stopping at 33🌟) is a neat info that definitely diminished my salt levels. 🤣
Now I'm just hoarding my 200 pulls for the next character I want in the next reruns.
I would only get weapons if I have all the characters I want first.
Welp, I did that when the engulfing lighting was on the weapon banner, full aware that if I got the unforged, it's Shield Razor time…..NOPE
Got two Lightings back to back, and I was WTF????!!!?!?!?
Instead of refining, I gave one to Shogun and the other one to Xiangling.
