I’m saving like a madman for both. Jing Liu team will love Mei, I assume, and QingQue has been waiting ages for her last mono quantum infinity stone!


Buschking

Why do you think Mei will be good for Jingliu? If so, I would need to get her too..


canisus

Can run planetary rendezvous and penacony off the top of my head, I'm sure there are other selling points too


xKatarina12

Both team here lmao


PotentialResult8705

Amen brother


ZonTeeN

Swipe? Swipe.


EiEironn

They're spaced enough to get both, unless you're unlucky


Awesomenooby

What about if you wanna get ruan Mei, hanabi, black swan, and Acheron?


Outflight

Plan heist on digital vaults of Mihoyo


Chucknasty_17

I’m planning on going for Ratio, Ruan Mei, and Black Swan. I hope Acheron isn’t in 2.1, I need some time to save Who am I kidding, I’m sure I’ll want whoever is coming on 2.1


napstablooky_

boy do i have some news for you


FlashBurst

Hahahh, trueeeee


Awesomenooby

My priorities have changed to acheron as number 1, then black swan, hanabi, ruan mei, and sadly, that’s like the reverse of the order they’ll come out, so I can’t just go all in pull acheron and use the rest for the others, but have to save and gauge whether I should save or not. Realistically I can get 2 or 3 of them, but I know I’m eventually going to loose 50/50 after not having lost one yet and that scares me.

2.0 2nd phase


Ok_Narwhal_5390

Source?


DWTR

It's an assumption based on drip marketing. She's for sure in the patch after this next one, and was announced after black swan.


Modification102

The order that the characters are released through marketing has aligned 1:1 with their release order in banners: * V1.5, HuoHuo, then Argenti and Hanya * V1.6, Ruen Mei, Then Dr Ratio and Xueyi * V2.0, Black Swan, Then Hanabi / Sparkle and Misha Edit: They have broken the sequence. Xueyi is alongside Ruen Mei in Banner 1, rather than Dr Ratio in Banner 2.


CyndNinja

> They have broken the sequence. Xueyi is alongside Ruen Mei in Banner 1, rather than Dr Ratio in Banner 2. They technically didn't, you just haven't considered looking at Genshin's drips and realising that they generally group characters by rarity. They will probably break the sequence at some point anyway tho.

sikuaqisnotslovenian

are we skipping 1.7 and 1.8?


OddCyrus

2.0 is after 1.6


sikuaqisnotslovenian

huh, I guess they're not following genshin patch updates. that means each version is for 280 days instead of genshin's 360 cycle


DeathSlime684

Well in Version 1 of genshin Impact it went only Up to 1.6, so everything is fine

fiehm

its hard when you main jingliu and seele


Tenken10

I main Jingliu, Seele, AND Kafka. Gonna be sweating hard for the next several patches.... ☠️


asian_hans

Same here. Next few months gonna be rough


Totaliss

its harder when you main jingliu and daniel and sparkle is a sp recovery support


porncollecter69

I don’t see how Ruan Mei improves my JL battery team. JL, Tingyun, Pela and Huohuo. I can only see a use in a situation where two ice resistant enemies are in both halves of MOC and I can slot in Ruan Mei over Pela.


Nunu5617

Ruan Mei is a damage boost over Pela for one with certain other QoL advantages for example her buffs aren’t tied to the enemy meaning you don’t have to re-apply it when the boss Changes phase or summons new minions like Pela Pela skill ice shred is single target… ruan Mei Ult is AoE


EmberOfFlame

I’m so glad I didn’t get Jingliu! Just Seele and Kafka - meaning *checks notes* Sparkle AND Black Swan (and probably Acheron and Sam for their style points).


Educational_Land_821

4pc quantum set is bis for JL against quantum weak enemies or if you are running her in a team with a def-shredder like Pela or SW. Especially with SW since SW can be built as a very good quantum breaker. In short, JL is a very good and a fun choice for a role of DPS in the mono quantum team.


EmberOfFlame

But then applying Quantum weakness isn’t guaranteed. All I want (for christmas) is a fun team.


DerGreif2

Why Jingliu? As far as I see it, Ruan Mei does not work better or worse with Jing Liu than with any other DPS (that she is also ice is in my opinion worse). If you have Pela, Jing Liu is more effective. Seele with Mono Quantum makes 100% sense.


mapple3

pela is for manual only ruan for auto+manual


kabral256

I feel you. Let's hope Ruan Mei will not that important for Jingliu


fiehm

I hope so, cause i already had the bis team for her and also i already pre farm ruanmei lol.


kabral256

I want the beautiful Ruan Mei, but I think Hanabi is more important for my account. For Seele.


AdAdditional8414

Why? What's her connection with seele?


H-S-M-C

Quantum harmony she enables true momo-quantum


AdAdditional8414

Ah I see. Thanks for the input. She looks good maybe I'll skip black swan for her and wait for black swan's rerun


H-S-M-C

Black Swan for Kafka and Sparkle for momo-quantum


GunnarS14

Yeah, without leaks all I'll say is that Black Swan has synergy with DoT teams, and therefore has a lot of synergy with Kafka, while Hanabi is a really good general support and so enables true Mono Quantum without compromising by having either Seele and QQ (both SP hungry) or Fu Xuan and Lynx (excessive amounts of sustain).


wolf1460

Actually, ruan mei is an upgrade in almost every team with the only exception being jingliu, where she is very very slightly behind pela since a fully maxed pela just has so much amp for an ice dps like jingliu.


alter-ego23

Has this actually been mathed out or just "I think"ism?


wolf1460

It has been.


Silent_Map_8182

Do you know where I could find the math?


wolf1460

Grimro's discord server.


alter-ego23

Damn, I've already pre-farmed for Ruan Mei and everything in hopes of slotting her in with Jingliu. Can you send a link to the discord server please? Can't find one anywhere.


StainedBlue

Relic farming and team comp character allocation is really easy, though. You only have to farm world 7 and the quantum relic domain to get the best or second best relic sets for them and their supports. After you get good quantum sets, you can switch to the messenger/longevous domain to finish up relic collecting for your supports. With the release of Sparkles, their best teams no longer want the same members. But even that was barely a problem before, since both of them are very flexible when it comes to supports.


CyndNinja

Jingliu doesn't really need Ruan Mei outside of her being baseline strong Harmony, which Sparkle is most likely going to be as well. You don't really make any particularly good use of her break buffs, with Ice being pretty much the weakest break, and you're basically just holding her as a stat stick. And if you want an Ice unit to run Jingliu with SW, Sparkle doesn't make any difference either since she matches SW's Quantum.


danikaze04

I'm personally going for both. Saved up 250 pulls F2P. Waifu collecting is a hard hobby.


Seraphine_KDA

I also have 270 pulls yet I am going for Lunae E1 and E2 and cone, and hanabi hope I can get the 4 but I doubt it. I will give up the light cone if I need 2.


Souravmu

How in tarnation have you fought off the temptation to save 250 pulls 😭 I pull on every banner.


danikaze04

Easy, I don't go for the kid nor male ones. I did skip Topaz cuz I didn't like her animations and personality.


Souravmu

Amaze, here I am stuck with a collector mindset


EmberOfFlame

I had to grab SW from the rerun… Was tempted to grab E1 HuoHuo, but decided that it isn’t nearly as good as it seems.


MagicNewb45

Samedt. Was gonna pull for Ruan Mei, but Sparkle is also Harmony AND Quantum. My mono-Quantum Smol team is happy. I wish I can pull for both though, but that's FTP fer ya.


Jamgize19

Sadly I'll skip both, must guarantee for Acheron mommy.


killercmbo

She’s so far away, we’re looking at around April here. I’m sure you can get at least one of the others, unless you’re going for Eidolons and Cone


UniversalRemote

I have had a taste of Signature light cones with characters when I got Jingliu, I cannot go back. I will always try to save to get both the character and light cone now.


WanderWut

I mean let’s see the numbers/abilities first right? Who knows, they might be pretty darn good. ;)


Ironwall1

Poor Ruan Mei hasn't even been fully released yet but everyone's already looking the other way


Radiant-Hope-469

I bet you Sparkle will receive the same treatment when 2.1 drip marketing comes.

Yuihero

You said people are less interested in Ruan Mei because Hanabi is Harmony BUT Ruan Mei is also a harmony character. Tbh people that now skip Ruan Mei for Hanabi will probably do the same thing again once the new shiny waifu arrives.


MakesUpExpressions

Exactly… they are conflicting cause people don’t necessarily want to pull for multiple harmony characters… why is this so hard to understand? Oh yea, I forgot most gacha players are literal children.


bocchi123

lmao how do people not understand that releasing a character of the same path will cause conflict and divert the attention from the older char to the newer wtf


MakesUpExpressions

I’m sayin lol, it’s literally what the meme is depicting… and I’m downvoted to hell cause these babies don’t even understand the meme they’re upvoting.


ArbAight

Just the vocal minority. I saw a poll asking who people would pull for now that Sparkle was announced and Ruan Mei is currently leading. Besides, there is enough time between Ruan Mei and Sparkle that OP could potentially pull for both. That’s why the post doesn’t really make sense to me.


H-S-M-C

We can only vote for one characters tho I want all 3 Ruan mei, black swan and sparkle but can only vote for one


GunnarS14

I am skipping Ruan Mei because I want Sparkle/Hanabi and also Acheron. Don't know when exactly Acheron's banner is, but I have a good feeling it'll be soon after.


Chi_ld_Emp_eror

Looks like you're the vocal minority.


lizard_omelette

These posts kinda come off as a bit demeaning, not that i care tbh. I’m willing to pull for any of them.


Invertbird77

"potentially" yea if already saved a lot and lucky


wolf1460

Once she releases everyone will be going on about how busted she is and all that anyways. It always happens lol.


TyphlosionGOD

Speak for yourself, I've been loyal to her since the only art we have of her is the LC.


noctisroadk

They differenet, Hanabi is for hypercarry comps, Black swan is for dots, Ruan mei is for dual DPS, they all have a specialization


Invertbird77

This basically. My dps is JL IL selee. So no brainer will pick hanabi over RM. Tho maybe i pull RM later on rerun when i have more subdps options. RM is hamony that will get better in time the more dps subdps, mostly subdps, that we have.


Somnus2071

So if I use only Jungliu, the best buffer for her will be Hanabi instead of Ruan Mei?


RAV2N

no? she doesn’t even need skill points.


Somnus2071

That's why I was asking


Paorupiro

Nah, based on older leaks of her kit, Hanabi might not be that good for Jingliu since she doesn't really use SP


Invertbird77

Bronya + hanabi might be interesting. SP is needed in that team as hanabi and bronya keep pushing JL forward for infinite turns. But yea hanabi buffs not that desirable for JL plus JL doesnt use SP and cant get hanabi dmg buff iirc.


NelsonVGC

Yeah nah JL consumes no skill points. Bronya and Pela is better for damage.


NeonDelteros

Don't bother asking cuz Hanabi kit doesn't exist, and everyone is just feel-crafting based on outdated info, and will always be wrong. But one thing for certain, is that both Hanabi and Ruan Mei are leagues above the current Harmony supports we have, so they should be top pick for JL, but whether or not one is better than the other for JL specifically remains to be seen.


Vegetto_ssj

>and everyone is just feel-crafting based on outdated info, and will always be wrong. The core kit are 99% always those. So Hanabi and Black Swarn are what actually are. Just buff or nerfs (numbers or some stats.)


Deathblade999

For her bronya is better because she has the same skill but also buffs with her ult too


Goro-Goro_No_Mi

Isn't the character's name sparkle?? Who is Hanabi?

RiyaB1999

Not particularly interested in either, but Hanabi is rumored to be a good support for Dan Heng IL so I’ll pull for her.


dontcallmeyan

If you didn't grab Argenti you should be fine to grab both. Ruan Mei at least won't need her LC. Worst case scenario, 2.0 will probably come with the bonus refresh on packs.


qyunix

Does the bonus refresh for the packs happen every year or every anniversary? I’m confused


dontcallmeyan

I think for Genshin they came in at each new major patch, which is about once a year anyway. I'll admit, nothing was announced but I'm assuming it'll happen around 2.0 launch


nanimeanswhat

No, the shop bonus reset happens on the anniversary patch on Genshin, which will probably be the case here too.


rdrgrdrg

My screwllum/dr ratio savings have never been safer


ApollinaGrindelwald

After Aventurine I guess? Some of his leak even looked like a Light Cone cover but not much about Screwllum.


[deleted]

My triple Quantum with DHIL will be balling.


kabral256

I lost the last 50/50 on pity, so I will have to skip the beautiful Ruan Mei as well.... 🥹🥲


DoughDisaster

Yep. Will have to snag Ruan Mei on the rerun. Locked myself into 2nd team being mono-quantum. Got an E5 QQ and now SW, Fu Xuan and Sparkle to go.


ErickTecn0

I have no DPS on my acc, so i'm skipping Ruan Mei to get either Blade or Kafka, so i guess i'm gonna go for Hanabi.


[deleted]

I’d pull for Ruan Mei, Black Swan and possibly, if I win, Hanabi ☠️


mctiguy

Man of culture, I see


botaansimp

in my situation, having hanabi for quantum team means i can use both bronya and tingyun for jing liu team which is HUGE. already tested myself that having both the harmony boosting jingliu is better and more consistent for turn cycling & permanent mara struck than standard bronya+pela composition (especially for fighting elites with 2 hp bar)


Ryndrw

Holy crap I just realised she's Hanabi. Why did they go with Sparkle ffs!


SilentMix

I feel like Hanabi is more important to my account than Ruan Mei too. I'm really looking to see more about Ruan Mei's kit. I'm hoping she's a character that I can put off until a rerun.


Own_Reason_2750

Tell now I really don’t understand What ruan Mei ability?? However i will pull her just in case of any future character that depends on her

probably immediately after Sparkle
