Thank you all for the support!
So for today’s video I wanted to talk about something that I thought was interesting with the way banners are now being setup. The way the current banner structure is setup, is it now a mistake to skip out on new 5 stars and wait for the rerun. This video was meant to generate a discussion so let me know what your thoughts and opinions are down in the comments below!

most annoying video, explaining things while showing unrelated videos. We rather watch your face than your previous fighting.
Video starts at 2:00
I am absolutely okay with applying a different thought process for these new 5 stars and parallel re-runs. But, I wouldn't pick Shenhe/Yae Miko over Zhongli or Kazuha. These two are less immune to meta changes (doggos are not the only enemies in the game) and universal characters. This is just my though process Universal > Niche (Until you have all such characters and want more niche ones). Seeing the trend there is only going to be Niche until Dendro comes out.
I believe MihoYo is trying to secretly push old 5-star out of meta. So I'll be pulling for new 5-star, as long as they fit my team.
Now of course, they wouldn't be gutting Kazuha or Raiden anytime soon. It's just something to think about.
I will be whaiting to last day of every banner to decide .
I personally disagree. I would think
if it's a toss up between a new character and a old one that it would make more sense to go for the old one bc since they've been out for a while, you know more about them.
Also new characters might get reruns quicker than characters that have already gotten multiple reruns so let's say your choosing between Ganyu and Shenhe. Chances are Shenhe might come back quicker bc people have already had two cracks at Ganyu.
At the end I don't think whether they are new are not should really factor in the decision. I think people should just choose whoever they think will bring them more enjoyment even if it's slight
I think F2P and low spenders should get characters who will give them the best value for their primogems. A lot of characters look great aesthetically or by personality, however only a few of them are truly value in terms of power and long term viability. Kazuha over Yae Miko is a no brainer considering this. Also, Ganyu over Shenhe is also a no brainer. The problem also is that MHY made mistakes early on by giving broken units (Ganyu, Zhongli, Bennett, Kazuha) and since Inazuma they have started to play this game of giving balanced characters. So I would highly advise on players to get all pre-2.0 characters and only those characters post 2.0 which have long term sustainability (Raiden for e.g.)
roll for your waifu and skip everything else xD
Hey Cody. When’s the next podcast?!?!
Missing Kameo’s voice lolll
I usually wait until the last week before deciding to get anyone, it helps with the fomo. Like holding an item throughout a store and by the end I put it back because I thought about it and realized I actually don't need it.
My favorite character is kazuha. I don't care how meta yae is
Talk to my primogems about that
Reminds me of that one player who likes Anemo characters but decided to skip Kazuha for Ayaka. Now he's kicking himself in the butt about it. This video really holds up.
Honestly re runs attract me more because I already know what they do, I know their worth and my opinion on them and their playstyle is already solid in my head. Now new characters are a whole new opinion and often that opinion is not as strong as the one I have for re runs.
Well, even if you don't want to skip new 5* characters, given how scarce primogems is, you wouldn't have much choice anyway
Well there is 2 words called "Need" & "Want"
And "Need" > "Want"
So, First Fulfill your Needs then go for what you want.
And if there is a situation: "want"="want"
Then always go WAIFUS OVER META
And if there is a Situation: "Need"="Need" Then Always select Meta or which your team can benifit the most, or changes your account completely.
That's my thought.
I feel it all boils down to state of the game + the phase your account is in. Sure, at the current game state, can just pull for waifu especially if you can 36* no problem with the characters you have. Can't say for the future but I would still make some clearance for possible "meta relevance" to have some future proofing attached to it.
Also something to factor is future proofing. Ganyu IMO is future proof (unless they cuck overall elemental reaction dmg, which then makes reverse melt ceiling a bit lower than what it used to). They've never done a nerf (but deliberately made a whack from raiden-beidou synergy out of everyone) because it is gonna be a disappointment to those who whaled for the character.
It's too early to say something about shenhe, but if we would compare shenhe's rumored kit vs kazuha's confirmed kit, we all know kazuha opens up more options and playstyles available. Usually, knowing mihoyo, they would do a rerun and make the abyss favorable to that character (like in honkai impact) but it is mostly not felt because abyss blessing doesn't "nerf" something that it doesn't "buff" (unlike in honkai where one is buffed and another one is nerfed while having so much mechanics tied to it)
tl;dr, skip for something more future proof, and just pull when it comes to a point of relevance and stability in the future. 180 pulls (if you are so unlucky) is so much if it would only bring disappointment and would not elevate your game.
I love shenhe but I have no good cryo characters for her to buff smh
Take everything you can without spending your money. Be smart. In Genshin you own nothing and if miHoYo tomorrow will shut down the servers, you lost all your money.
No offence but the logic doesn’t hold up in this take. if you skip the rerun…you also don’t know when they’re gonna come back lol. Same situation as a new character. Could be a year for a kazuha rerun. You simply have to weigh which character you want more and pull within your budget.
For me, if it’s a character I LOVE, I save a guarantee for them and keep that in my back locked for when their rerun comes. And since there’s so many characters I love and my teams are already good enough, I use my extra wishes on whoever i like that is around now. So I’ have my raiden shogun guarantee in the bag, and my extra wishes will go towards shenhe, Zhongli, maybe ganyu Yae kazuha yoimiya whoever. I won’t get them all, but I’ll get a couple. There’s too many for me to get too picky haha.
Except for raiden…defs not gonna miss her
Well I'm getting Yae no matter what because I'm a simp.
No, if they keep this 3 reruns per patch it is not a mistake to skip new character
Hmm….. If I really think about it on Shenhe. I don't really think she is bad as people say it is. She can be useful for freezing team and melt team. I most likely end up getting Shenhe any way do to me wanting to get Yun Jin a few times.
i need to skip shenhe cause i have cracked artifacts for melt ganyu, like not even on purpose got a 10 cr 20 cd goblet and a lot of crit rolls on wanderer set
Dude this very depend on characters.
Shenhe is very finicky you should wait 2-3 week to see how she work if you are not a whale.
Plus Shenhe need cryo dps to use at all.
You have some unit that are easy to see where they sit before release (Itto,Ayaka,Yoimiya),
or you have unit that whole difference are animation and priority of interaction. (Kazuha. And no he is no better buffer that Sucrose, they give the same buffs.)
Plus if unit is "mech" on release is no guarante that will be ever good.
Kokomi get new set and 4 hed math of theorycrafters found some comps for her,
but Yoi is still as good as Yanfei (and worse than any other pyro dps) and we dont know when and if she will be good.
Game content is shit. No point getting New chars
ive wanted zhomgli and xiao since i started the game but there is no way in hell that im missing Yae Miko
I'm a very light spender (couple of welkins and 1 BP) , that being said i also have C1 Hutao and C0 Eula fully built as my main DPS. In 2.4 I'll be getting Zhongli since I started playing after both of his banners, and I would love him to shiled my Hutao when she is very low HP to max her damage. Shenhe is not good choice for me since Eula is not really cryo dps. Next patch I will also skip Yae because I need Kazuha for swirl and cc and I do not need another dps. I think it depends on you account.
Bro this is just common sense. No need to post a video about it. This is just clickbait
reason why i very chill is i didn't skip previous Ganyu, Kazuha and Zhongli
just get shenhe and i can skip/saving all the way to Yae alone.
Some other factors to consider before spending primogems for F2P players: 1) Support Characters: Dendro characters will come before some new 5* supports like Shenhe have their Rerun and might change the whole Game since it's supposed to work as a supportive reaction. It might become more valuable to get a Dendro character rather than any other support. 2) DPS Characters: sooner than later we'll definately have some sort of powercreep and power Spike to extend the Game's longevity…and with new regions we'll get other Archons and Main DPSs who might be really worth getting. If you're a F2P veteran like me, it's wiser to save as much as possible
If you're an old player or someone who started in 2020, get who you like or the new character.
If you're a new player, get the rerun character instead, because that way you will be in the same track that the older player was in when that character was released.
You started late but your collection journey will start around the same time when the game is released so it would be like you're playing 1.1 or 1.2 despite being a new player, that way you won't get pressured by the new character because in your perspective they are still 9 patches away. So, for newer players, don't think that you're playing in 2.4, think that you're playing in 1.1 or 1.2 instead.
You don't need to catch up by getting the new characters. If you're just a collector who isn't that big of a whale, start at the older characters. If you're a waifu collector, get Ganyu in 2.4 instead of Shenhe, if Raiden reruns in 2.5, get her instead of Yae. Put into your mind that Shenhe and Yae don't exist yet and are still patches away.
I have a kazuha but my true problem would be when Venti 3rd rerun comes, i just hope Venti 3rd rerun wont come in 2.5. But i am skipping 2.4 banner, i didn’t like Shen He’s kit, and as much i would like to get ganyu, i have Ayaka. Xiao? well i already have one in my alt acc but i honestly really stoped using him.
Yeah i don't want to skip them but i am broke
Very good video. That's right, I'll be pulling on the Shenhe banner and skipping the other three as a light spender. I'm not interested in Xiao in the slightest and I already have Zhongli and Ganyu.
I think this may depend on a couple things. Do you need a DPS or second DPS for abyss? If the new banner isn't one than the rerun banner would be best (if it is). Already have two DPS? Then consider that scenario, especially if the support is cracked (kazuha, zhongli,…). The issue of reruns is minimalized with double banners, but Mihoyo could mess up again and make another uber powered waifu that destroy the meta for months. In that case, you may want to pull unless you want to wait till the following Christmas for the rerun. All of this of course depends on primogems. Save and don't try to build pity on a banner you aren't absolutely 100 on.
No I’m doing both in 2.5 and when seeing who’s in 2.6 which I may also grab.
My AR is 45. I have enough experience points that if I ascend I can get to AR 50. Is it worth it because the level of the monster will also increase.
I'm gonna keep saving for Yae Miko for sure 😅
The patches 2.4 and 2.5 present me with biggest dillema so far in Genshin I don't have Zhongli or Kazuha but at same time both Shenhe and Yae are top tier waifu and I will probably only be able to get only one of them so it sucks
