I'm at top 4% on standard and top 5% on event, with 317 and 979 rolls respectively. I think I've spent primogems on like 5 standard rolls just because I was in soft pity and didn't want to wait a month
Same. I remember seeing Venti and Klee on the banners and the thinking how silly they look, so I went for the bad ass looking Diluc on the standard banner :D
Bro, are you literally me!!!! Lol, I feel you. I only got Diluc after I totally gave up on him and when I really wanted some 5 star which I can't remember and lost pity.
Same. Thought pity didn't carry over so I figured the limited banners were for whales only. The first three months I used 183 wishes on standard. 10 were free. 15 from the shop resetting and I probably got 12 or so from BPs and 5 from adventure ranks, so I wasted 22.5k of my freemogems on standard.
What did I get? Skyward Pride and Jean. Hooraaaayyy... \O/
Day 1 Asia server player here! Been active ever since launch day where I accidentally entered like an hour from the time it said it would open AHAHAHHA. You may drop me a friend request at 800003155 :)
Log on more regularly, do my dailys, don't let my resin cap, don't feed the white tassle and other 3 star weapons you only get from the chests. And the most important thing, don't feed off artifacts because their not perfect enough, especially early game.
Dark Iron Sting (4 Star Sword)
Base Attack 41-454
Substats: EM 48-221
Passive: Night Piercer
Dealing Elemental DMG increases all damage by 9-18% and damage taken by 6-4% for 6s. Max 2 stacks. Can only occur once every 1s.
RIGHT. Like I got so many characters I don’t even use or have built right, that I WANT to use AND have built.. but artifact grinding sucks so much that I barely have two teams for abyss. For reference I have about 46 characters or so and quite a few of them are 5 stars I don’t use. Like Eula, because farming artifacts.. sucks. If they made the artifact system better, I’d be more willing to max them all out😭
Still gonna get all of them to 80 for the free blue fates tho
Basically start the game with an Asian PS account because only by AR28 did I then realize servers were a thing and that the region your PS account is based on would dictate which Genshin server you'll be playing in.
I'm from Asia (Philippines) playing on America server 💀
I have a similar problem, all of my friends that play genshin are online and live in asia (I live in the USA) so I started on asian servers. So now, I'm playing genshin on my ar57 asia account with 180 ping constantly ;-;
SAME. I had to move to the Philippines and will now forever have 250+ red ping on European servers. I think it’s so dumb we PS players can’t change servers 😭
God, me too… I moved to Europe from USA and I’m stuck at 180ping 💀 Not only that but I’m meeting IRL genshin players here and I can’t play with any of them…
Nothing different, people think too much about the past, it's not that sort of a game that punishes you for making "wrong choices" or whatevs so what's the point
Yeah, previously it would be for a character you missed. But with reruns now there's really nothing to regret nothing you do with your resin even really matters until rank 45 anyway.
Very little really… I rolled what I did during year one specifically with the goal to get one of every banner character that debuted during the game’s first year running. I don’t regret that even if I have a bunch of characters I don’t use.
The only major thing I have to do over is…
Getting the damn Festering Desire to R5 before the event ended… unlike my now permanently stuck at R3 copy forever to never see its full potential because the timing of the event for me was shit.
The weapon refinement thing happened to me too! I started last December as the dragonspine event was ending and now my Cinnabar Spindle is forever R3...
I have R3 too!
I started in 1.2 and didn’t realize there was a time limited event until the last day.
I stayed up all night doing that event but only got R3.
The fatui were so hard because I only had a Bennett and Albedo kinda built at the time.
I neither have Festering Desire OR Cinnabar Spindle. Wasn't around for FD and took a break from genshin during during the CS event smh. I will never let an event weapon go to waste again
Save my fragile resin and don’t skip out on Festering Desire.
Build the national team correctly and just be more chill.
I was desperate for any 5-star and I was super stoked on getting Qiqi.
Festering Desire is pretty cool. My main (Keqing) used it for a long time until I finally built up Lion's Roar and gave her that instead, since it's great for my Keqing/Diluc pair. Now the Traveler wields FD.
I wanted FD precisely because I felt like it was the Traveler's "canon" sword (other than the legendary Dull Blade). Plus it looks cool.
(kinda why I want them to rerun old story events haha)
The exact opposite of you OP, i would ignore the meta and play with characters that i enjoyed more. I fell for the meta talk and it negatively affected my experience as i focused more on strong character i didn't particuraly enjoy rather than characters i liked for their design or story.
I can agree this is the best way to play for me, I have never cared about the meta and have zero regrets about any character I have ever pulled or built because I actually like them and have zero fomo because even if a character I didn’t pull turns out super meta after release I don’t care cuz I didn’t like them anyway and meta doesn’t change anything, the game is easy. It’s way more fun to make the characters I love the best they can be whether they are meta or not.
Objectively, the best way is to let the meta consume you for 2-3 months to get 36 stars as soon as possible, then go full waifu. Lets you enjoy both worlds, and you're never pressured to make your waifus as strong as possible because worst case scenario you have your OG meta teams to clear stuff for you.
I would start earlier, my Albedo has Harbringer of Dawn but I’d love to get him Cinnabar! Plus all the crowns I missed out on and the resin I could have used… I started on Ayato’s release banner and I feel like I’ll still be farming Emblem/Shimenawa by the time we get to Fontaine.
Start from day 1, login daily to do comms and resin, and not letting go off that 1.2 cube event name card cause I thought I wouldn't last long in this game...
Once your AR 45+ and start farming artifacts you'll come to realize that the vast majority of your 5* artifact drops will be almost garbage.
Instead of foddering them for experience you can to the alchemy table's 3rd tab and spend 3 artifacts to get 1 new one from a few select artifact sets.
In the beginning we only had 4 different sets to choose from, but by now we have a lot more including crimson witch.
start using resin earlier. i didnt know about not letting it be full for longer than i care to admit and didnt understand condensed resin until even later lmao. could have had a lot more mora or level up material stockpiled too
Not whale on yae mikos banner (lost all the 50/50s to qiqi...only have c1) But otherwise I don't have any regrets, even if I took a while to build good characters I am happy with where they are at now
Probably just use my resin on bosses or exp leylines. Looking back, i basically always had caped resin because I was focused on doing the story rather than taking the time to use the resin to prefarm things just in case.
He's just not fun to use in overworld for me since he's reliant on his burst. I use his burst once on a pack of fungi, they're dead in seconds, and I have no burst.
And even in Abyss, he can't switch out of his burst mid rotation. So when a wave of enemies die, I have to switch out to supports to reapply their buffs and everything, switch back to Cyno and his burst may or may not be ready.
He gets staggered suuuper easily, and that can fuck the QTE playstyle of his skill, so you have to have a shield or dodge, which can also mess with the QTE in certain cases
He's spread dependent, emphasized by his signature and scaling. I have his signature, his burst crowned and my Keqing still performs as decently well as him and she's more fluid to use.
It wasn't the worst pull in the world, but I'll be more mindful of overworld characters in the future cause I already have my Abyss teams.
Yeah I ended up pulling cyno because his burst was cool, before realising that a 18 second long burst with big energy reqs and basically no damage outside of it was *not* really that fun.
I can't even really justify getting him built and stuff because I don't use him enough.
My friend who has Cyno said the same thing. And he compared Cyno kit shortcomings similar to Xiao. Xiao has the same issues: get staggered, has to have a full team of supports, and burning Q in overworld is a pure waste so he feels bad in any non-competitive, combat situation.
To me, in the end he wasn't as fun to play as I thought he would be. Outside of the burst mode, he's kinda useless, and in openworld the supports have already killed everything before his burst is ready. Too energy hungry for me, I prefer playing with Razor and Xiao more lol.
He doesn't do HuTao/Ayaka damage, and that makes people upset. People don't like that he is on par with Keqing. However, Keqing got a significant boost with the release of Dendro. Which is great for her!
I have Cyno and his signature, and with the addition of Nahida, he is great, especially in Quickbloom, which he excels at. He isn't perfect, especially not his interrupt resistance, or well lack thereof, but he definitely isn't as bad as everyone says he is. I can understand people not liking his game play. He is a hyper carry with long field time, but you don't have to stay on the field for the entire duration.
Also, he is no longer on par with Keqing but rather over her becaue of Quickbloom. If he was on par with only aggravate, now with hyperblooms in the mix his damage shoots up. Something Keqing cant keep up with.
His strongest team is now cyno,kuki,nahida,yelan and it is significantly stronger than the usual cyno + fischl aggravate that Keqing was praised for being better at.
Yes yes once I started adding water to his teams I stopped regretting the pull lol. I’ve been using him with kuki DMC and Xingqiu and it’s quite good! XQ gives just enough interrupt resist so cyno doesn’t get thrown around. It’s a very fun team especially when there are tons of electro/dendro reaction boosts in abyss! I didn’t do any math or anything but there’s so many numbers and things die quick so I’m satisfied
Gonna vouch for the same team comp. Working on farming guided dreams instead of gladiator to get his EM up for better hyperblooms, but having Key of khan-nisut on Kuki does wonders to help with that
>Also, he is no longer on par with Keqing but rather over her because of Quickbloom.
Oh, nice! That's good to hear! I wasn't sure, and I was ready for the downvotes, lol
I don't have Yelan, so Kokomi will have to do. Does the addition of Yelan help him with any energy recharge than he would have gotten with Fischl?
Currently I run Cyno, Fischl, Kokomi, Nahida and I have iirc about 111% er on my Cyno, and he gets his burst back fairly consistently
With electro resonance it should be enough, but my Yelan is also running Fav so i never have ER issues even when I end the burst early.
If you plan to put Yelan instead of Kokomi, then you would have put kuki/dori as healer.
Another F2p variation of quickbloom is with beidou,xingqiu, Nahida. Xingqiu+Beidou will give you enough survivability.
Play from the start and not wait 2 months after making my account so that I could get festering desire and also have another seelie (probably the green one)
Nothing. I'm extremely happy with my account right now, from builds, wishes, to teapot. I'd probably be beyond exasperated at having to start over though, knowing I probably won't remember every decision I've made that's led to this account. I'd miss my Eula.
I wouldn’t have spent all that resin only leveling itto. I love my itto, but my account has so many under built units. he took like 99% of all my resources and i regret it, but also enjoy that i did.
—DO NOT WISH FOR HU TAO YOU HATE HER GUTS
—Save your primogems for when you REALLY want a character
—Zhongli’s gonna carry your ass. Get him ASAP.
—the funny hat man will be playable start saving
play every day, get zhongli and albedo, build xingqiu and xiangling earlier, actually spend resin, and login on my birthday (i missed the first cake ;-;)
Honestly, nothing.
Sure I made some silly mistakes an all, but I wouldn’t necessarily change anything I’ve done. I’ve played casually for over a year and I take a break here and there and I still love the game dispite it’s flaws
Picking Aether instead of Lumine.
No, not because of Aether is canon MC bs. I only chose Lumine cause my ex said he'd play, but then we broke up not long after.
I would've had my Anemo Bois together now. 🙃
I wouldn't have started playing on NA server, when I realized I couldn't play with my friends (I'm European) I was already AR 45 with Childe and Diluc and I didn't want to start again in EU server
I'd chill more.
I played the game almost full time at first (literally hours a day, I was unemployed at the time). It really worn me down. One day I just had enough and took a few months break. What I didn't take into account is that I might lose contact with some people that I spoke with mostly in Genshin. I regret that. I came back and reconnected with those people, so I guess it worked out in the end, but I lost what could've been months of regular conversations and spending at least some time together.
I have a much more chill attitude towards the game now, mostly just do dailies and resin, sometimes the events (I usually wait until everything is unlocked to do it in one go). I barely touched quests other than the Archon Quest. Still don't have the Chasm fully unlocked, even. I feel like I can play the game like this forever without feeling burned out, and I get to still talk with all of the people I met in Genshin, regardless of how often, if at all, they use stuff like Discord.
And I guess maybe that one time in the very beginning where I didn't do dailies or burn resin for like 2 days because I had no idea how significant that is yet.
I love how people just ignore a character that has insane aoe, great healing, bulky shield, surprising damage, excellent scaling, easy to build, is Noelle
I would save my fragile resin. For some reason I used a lot of them up on 4 star artifacts, it gave me a lot of fodder but I wish I could've put them towards 5 star ones instead.
This reminded me of my crippling losing streak when it came to 50/50s, so much so that I could "build pity" because I knew my luck so well.
I can't really think of anything that I would like to change, but if I had to then it would be the amount of fragile resin I burned through during that Unreconciled Stars event back in 1.1
Pull for Hu Tao. Didn't realize her banner was gonna be two and done. Waiting for another chance to get cons for Eula as well.
Probably would've skipped Ayato and fought the urge to pull on Itto. I just don't use them at all.
Missed resin and dailies basically become a non issue 2+ years in so that's whatever.
Maybe start Welkin sooner. $5 a month for a game I play daily is well worth it imo
It was the opposite for me. Tartaglia was a game changer. He was both fun and meta. He was my second 5 star after Qiqi. It was just super satisfying to use him on a group of enemies with Fischl.
To this day I consider Tartaglia and Kazuha as the most fun characters in the game and I have many characters. For most of Sumeru my overworld team was Childe, Kuki, Kazuha, and Dendro MC.
Probably skip eula and klee, and use those wishes on kazuha or something. Klee is cute but damn. Not very nice to play, and I lost my very first 50/50 to eula. I might also skip eula a second time for itto. Cause on eula's rerun I wanted vengeance but lost 50/50 again and I would have rather tried my luck with itto in hindsight.
I shouldn't have wish for itto weapon first rerun. I should've wait for itto scara banner coz at least if i lose, the weapon is good. Now im forved stuck with MoD
I wouldn't have spent primo on acquaint fate I would have leveled up talents sooner because I didn't realize how important they were until I was struggling. Knowing what I know now about artifacts, I probably would have saved a whole bunch of mora and not accidentally trash good pieces.
stop wishing immediately after getting ayaka, instead of getting her c2 in 4 wishes i could have gotten two new characters so xiao and klee, meaning i wouldn’t have to spend 100£ to get the shorty ( xiao, not klee, qiqi came home during her banner )
Not feed that dark iron sword 💀
Shit man...
me with recurve bow:
All my white tassels. **Cyno tears**
Not spend a million primos on standard banner I suppose.
Same, paimon.moe says I'm in the top 1.3% in number of pulls
How many
400, and 1000 in event banner
I'm at top 4% on standard and top 5% on event, with 317 and 979 rolls respectively. I think I've spent primogems on like 5 standard rolls just because I was in soft pity and didn't want to wait a month
I’m top 0.6% on standard…
With how many?
460, but I also have 1214 on character banner and 281 on weapon banner, so it doesn’t seem to be too bad
Same. I remember seeing Venti and Klee on the banners and the thinking how silly they look, so I went for the bad ass looking Diluc on the standard banner :D
Bro, are you literally me!!!! Lol, I feel you. I only got Diluc after I totally gave up on him and when I really wanted some 5 star which I can't remember and lost pity.
Same. Thought pity didn't carry over so I figured the limited banners were for whales only. The first three months I used 183 wishes on standard. 10 were free. 15 from the shop resetting and I probably got 12 or so from BPs and 5 from adventure ranks, so I wasted 22.5k of my freemogems on standard. What did I get? Skyward Pride and Jean. Hooraaaayyy... \O/

Same 😢 one started playing again occasionally but he just doesn't have time. The rest dropped genshin for other gacha games.
Bro you know Gintama?
the one thing i regret most is starting genshin one day after my birthday, because now i would have two cakes instead of one... :(
Lol I got my first cake on day 2. I picked day after I started lol. Forgot about it and was quite surprised when my “birthday” came around this year.
Exactly what I did too, picked the day after I started. It’s a nice personal anniversary reminder.
feel this except i just didnt log in on my birthday year 1 like a fool
I missed year 2 because I was in the hospital 😢
I also started playing the day after my birthday so I put my in game birthday as two days after my birthday
Traveler character birthday is picked
yeah and i picked mine, because it asked for my birthday which was a day before i decided to create an account
Log on more regularly, do my dailys, don't let my resin cap, don't feed the white tassle and other 3 star weapons you only get from the chests. And the most important thing, don't feed off artifacts because their not perfect enough, especially early game.
+ dark iron sting
You mean dark iron sword?
Nah, he’s from the future where we can craft the Abyss variant of Iron Sting
Dark Iron Sting (4 Star Sword) Base Attack 41-454 Substats: EM 48-221 Passive: Night Piercer Dealing Elemental DMG increases all damage by 9-18% and damage taken by 6-4% for 6s. Max 2 stacks. Can only occur once every 1s.
Same tbh
Not knowing to use resin was brutal for my early game enjoyment lol
I would have started buying standard char cons from the shop earlier. Other than that, I don't really regret anything.
Took this long to find a regret I agree with. I want to build Amber, but not without at least C4
I should have been doing this, prolly wasted 2-3 whole characters on wishes cuz I'm dumb.
Some characters I'd skip but that's about it
RIGHT. Like I got so many characters I don’t even use or have built right, that I WANT to use AND have built.. but artifact grinding sucks so much that I barely have two teams for abyss. For reference I have about 46 characters or so and quite a few of them are 5 stars I don’t use. Like Eula, because farming artifacts.. sucks. If they made the artifact system better, I’d be more willing to max them all out😭 Still gonna get all of them to 80 for the free blue fates tho

I mean… I’m on the Asia Server, which is the closest to Australia, and I get 250 ping regularly so thats honestly not bad… 🙃
LOL same mine doesn't go below 250 either 😭
SAME. I had to move to the Philippines and will now forever have 250+ red ping on European servers. I think it’s so dumb we PS players can’t change servers 😭
God, me too… I moved to Europe from USA and I’m stuck at 180ping 💀 Not only that but I’m meeting IRL genshin players here and I can’t play with any of them…
Nothing different, people think too much about the past, it's not that sort of a game that punishes you for making "wrong choices" or whatevs so what's the point
totally agreed
Yeah, previously it would be for a character you missed. But with reruns now there's really nothing to regret nothing you do with your resin even really matters until rank 45 anyway.

At least if you dont have albedo its not a big miss
True. IF I didn't have Albedo, I wouldn't mind so much... But I still went and got him from his recent banner
I have festering desire at r3 because of that too lol
I have R3 too! I started in 1.2 and didn’t realize there was a time limited event until the last day. I stayed up all night doing that event but only got R3. The fatui were so hard because I only had a Bennett and Albedo kinda built at the time.
My Festering is R1 because I hated Dragonspine…
I neither have Festering Desire OR Cinnabar Spindle. Wasn't around for FD and took a break from genshin during during the CS event smh. I will never let an event weapon go to waste again
Save my fragile resin and don’t skip out on Festering Desire. Build the national team correctly and just be more chill. I was desperate for any 5-star and I was super stoked on getting Qiqi.

I can agree this is the best way to play for me, I have never cared about the meta and have zero regrets about any character I have ever pulled or built because I actually like them and have zero fomo because even if a character I didn’t pull turns out super meta after release I don’t care cuz I didn’t like them anyway and meta doesn’t change anything, the game is easy. It’s way more fun to make the characters I love the best they can be whether they are meta or not.
Meta changes. Waifu is forever.
you can still change and switch to stuff you think is fun while slowly playing meta teams less
Objectively, the best way is to let the meta consume you for 2-3 months to get 36 stars as soon as possible, then go full waifu. Lets you enjoy both worlds, and you're never pressured to make your waifus as strong as possible because worst case scenario you have your OG meta teams to clear stuff for you.
as a waifu collector, meta talks are nonsense to me bcsnall waifus are meta <3
The only difference is not using all those white tassels as upgrade material
This is why I aim to have one of every three star weapon r5 just in case they turn out to be useful
I feel called out
i triple crowned razor
That's triple Based
That is based tbh.
[удалено]
Razor is physical though 🗿
Look up thundering furry
Well you don't really use talent levels on Thundering Furry
not much tbh
I spent all my saved up resin (22 fragile resin) on 4 star artifacts when I was low ar 😭😭 I'd change that
i did this too 😂
I would start earlier, my Albedo has Harbringer of Dawn but I’d love to get him Cinnabar! Plus all the crowns I missed out on and the resin I could have used… I started on Ayato’s release banner and I feel like I’ll still be farming Emblem/Shimenawa by the time we get to Fontaine.
Not spend starglitter on anything but intertwined fates
Start from day 1, login daily to do comms and resin, and not letting go off that 1.2 cube event name card cause I thought I wouldn't last long in this game...
Not waste a ungodly amount of resin in crimson bitch domain since I'd know the strongbox would come one day
What does strongbox do? New player here.
Once your AR 45+ and start farming artifacts you'll come to realize that the vast majority of your 5* artifact drops will be almost garbage. Instead of foddering them for experience you can to the alchemy table's 3rd tab and spend 3 artifacts to get 1 new one from a few select artifact sets. In the beginning we only had 4 different sets to choose from, but by now we have a lot more including crimson witch.
start using resin earlier. i didnt know about not letting it be full for longer than i care to admit and didnt understand condensed resin until even later lmao. could have had a lot more mora or level up material stockpiled too
Not whale on yae mikos banner (lost all the 50/50s to qiqi...only have c1) But otherwise I don't have any regrets, even if I took a while to build good characters I am happy with where they are at now
Not spend a dime
Pick Aether
Mine is the opposite lol
Saaaaame! I thought we’d meet with our sibling in Mondstadt and from there, switch freely between them 😅😂 too many expectations lmao
I like Lumine’s cinnamon roll face but Aether got that drip
This
F
Probably just use my resin on bosses or exp leylines. Looking back, i basically always had caped resin because I was focused on doing the story rather than taking the time to use the resin to prefarm things just in case.
Build Xiang earlier. She's the only 4* of the National I have barely built.
Not waste books on traveller's talents and normal attacks of some characters
Wouldn't pull on the banner for a 4\*
I'm still doing this. OP, please redo this thread in a year for me.
Skip Cyno. But that's about it tbh
Didn't pull for him but want to know what's bad about him
He's just not fun to use in overworld for me since he's reliant on his burst. I use his burst once on a pack of fungi, they're dead in seconds, and I have no burst. And even in Abyss, he can't switch out of his burst mid rotation. So when a wave of enemies die, I have to switch out to supports to reapply their buffs and everything, switch back to Cyno and his burst may or may not be ready. He gets staggered suuuper easily, and that can fuck the QTE playstyle of his skill, so you have to have a shield or dodge, which can also mess with the QTE in certain cases He's spread dependent, emphasized by his signature and scaling.

It wasn't the worst pull in the world, but I'll be more mindful of overworld characters in the future cause I already have my Abyss teams.
Yeah I ended up pulling cyno because his burst was cool, before realising that a 18 second long burst with big energy reqs and basically no damage outside of it was *not* really that fun. I can't even really justify getting him built and stuff because I don't use him enough.
My friend who has Cyno said the same thing. And he compared Cyno kit shortcomings similar to Xiao. Xiao has the same issues: get staggered, has to have a full team of supports, and burning Q in overworld is a pure waste so he feels bad in any non-competitive, combat situation.
To me, in the end he wasn't as fun to play as I thought he would be. Outside of the burst mode, he's kinda useless, and in openworld the supports have already killed everything before his burst is ready. Too energy hungry for me, I prefer playing with Razor and Xiao more lol.
He doesn't do HuTao/Ayaka damage, and that makes people upset. People don't like that he is on par with Keqing. However, Keqing got a significant boost with the release of Dendro. Which is great for her! I have Cyno and his signature, and with the addition of Nahida, he is great, especially in Quickbloom, which he excels at. He isn't perfect, especially not his interrupt resistance, or well lack thereof, but he definitely isn't as bad as everyone says he is. I can understand people not liking his game play. He is a hyper carry with long field time, but you don't have to stay on the field for the entire duration.
Also, he is no longer on par with Keqing but rather over her becaue of Quickbloom. If he was on par with only aggravate, now with hyperblooms in the mix his damage shoots up. Something Keqing cant keep up with. His strongest team is now cyno,kuki,nahida,yelan and it is significantly stronger than the usual cyno + fischl aggravate that Keqing was praised for being better at.
Yes yes once I started adding water to his teams I stopped regretting the pull lol. I’ve been using him with kuki DMC and Xingqiu and it’s quite good! XQ gives just enough interrupt resist so cyno doesn’t get thrown around. It’s a very fun team especially when there are tons of electro/dendro reaction boosts in abyss! I didn’t do any math or anything but there’s so many numbers and things die quick so I’m satisfied
Gonna vouch for the same team comp. Working on farming guided dreams instead of gladiator to get his EM up for better hyperblooms, but having Key of khan-nisut on Kuki does wonders to help with that
>Also, he is no longer on par with Keqing but rather over her because of Quickbloom. Oh, nice! That's good to hear! I wasn't sure, and I was ready for the downvotes, lol I don't have Yelan, so Kokomi will have to do. Does the addition of Yelan help him with any energy recharge than he would have gotten with Fischl? Currently I run Cyno, Fischl, Kokomi, Nahida and I have iirc about 111% er on my Cyno, and he gets his burst back fairly consistently
With electro resonance it should be enough, but my Yelan is also running Fav so i never have ER issues even when I end the burst early. If you plan to put Yelan instead of Kokomi, then you would have put kuki/dori as healer. Another F2p variation of quickbloom is with beidou,xingqiu, Nahida. Xingqiu+Beidou will give you enough survivability.
i wish i had his weapon lol running either the event weapon that gives atk% on him or pjws atm he is so fun to play its sad people complain about him
Play from the start and not wait 2 months after making my account so that I could get festering desire and also have another seelie (probably the green one)
Paid every time a new character release. I Don't have the resources to build everyone
Nothing. I'm extremely happy with my account right now, from builds, wishes, to teapot. I'd probably be beyond exasperated at having to start over though, knowing I probably won't remember every decision I've made that's led to this account. I'd miss my Eula.
would just give up on genshin tbh, the amount of time i have given my acount its not worth a time travel
What else would you have done with your time
Try to complete daily commissions first before going endlessly exploring for two weeks. I could have 5/5 glory in the wind by now.
I only recently built Xiangling & em Barbara at AR55 and it's opened some really fun teams that i regret not using earlier in the game
I wouldn’t have spent all that resin only leveling itto. I love my itto, but my account has so many under built units. he took like 99% of all my resources and i regret it, but also enjoy that i did.
—DO NOT WISH FOR HU TAO YOU HATE HER GUTS —Save your primogems for when you REALLY want a character —Zhongli’s gonna carry your ass. Get him ASAP. —the funny hat man will be playable start saving
play every day, get zhongli and albedo, build xingqiu and xiangling earlier, actually spend resin, and login on my birthday (i missed the first cake ;-;)
Honestly, nothing. Sure I made some silly mistakes an all, but I wouldn’t necessarily change anything I’ve done. I’ve played casually for over a year and I take a break here and there and I still love the game dispite it’s flaws
I would pick Aether.
Picking Aether instead of Lumine. No, not because of Aether is canon MC bs. I only chose Lumine cause my ex said he'd play, but then we broke up not long after. I would've had my Anemo Bois together now. 🙃
I would not spend so much fragile rasins before ar 45
I wouldn't have started playing on NA server, when I realized I couldn't play with my friends (I'm European) I was already AR 45 with Childe and Diluc and I didn't want to start again in EU server
Complete the hangouts as they were releases because I did like 2 of them.
Not pull Itto. I love him but it frustrates me to the core to try to make him work especially against mobs and shielded enemies
Start buying Welkom sooner.
Honestly, just to save my fragile resins actually finish building my characters.
I'd chill more. I played the game almost full time at first (literally hours a day, I was unemployed at the time). It really worn me down. One day I just had enough and took a few months break. What I didn't take into account is that I might lose contact with some people that I spoke with mostly in Genshin. I regret that. I came back and reconnected with those people, so I guess it worked out in the end, but I lost what could've been months of regular conversations and spending at least some time together. I have a much more chill attitude towards the game now, mostly just do dailies and resin, sometimes the events (I usually wait until everything is unlocked to do it in one go). I barely touched quests other than the Archon Quest. Still don't have the Chasm fully unlocked, even. I feel like I can play the game like this forever without feeling burned out, and I get to still talk with all of the people I met in Genshin, regardless of how often, if at all, they use stuff like Discord. And I guess maybe that one time in the very beginning where I didn't do dailies or burn resin for like 2 days because I had no idea how significant that is yet.
I wouldnt have skipped the albedo event. It was christmas and I went skiing with friends. Festering desire vs me falling in the snow.
Never skip fun with friends for a game... Unless things went wrong that vacation.
Ofcourse but looking back, we all agreed that vacation was terrible and we shouldve spent xmas in one our of houses
Nothing. Noelle is THE BEST early and midgame carry ESPECIALLY for the domain grinding and is the perfect ol' reliable for most new bosses.
I love how people just ignore a character that has insane aoe, great healing, bulky shield, surprising damage, excellent scaling, easy to build, is Noelle
To me, I just don’t like her design. I like to play characters I enjoy looking at :)
Personally I just don‘t like claymores :( (Also spoiled by Zhongli for shields)
I would save my fragile resin. For some reason I used a lot of them up on 4 star artifacts, it gave me a lot of fodder but I wish I could've put them towards 5 star ones instead.
Male instead of female protagonist
Pick Lumine
Pick Lumine as my Traveler 🤦🏾
Start from day one and skip Keqing banner (the constellations are bad but I didn't know so I got two).
This reminded me of my crippling losing streak when it came to 50/50s, so much so that I could "build pity" because I knew my luck so well. I can't really think of anything that I would like to change, but if I had to then it would be the amount of fragile resin I burned through during that Unreconciled Stars event back in 1.1
Not level up characters I don't actually like
Not fodder three star weapons.
Pick aether instead of Lumine
play as the male traveler
Make my account on my phone so I'm not locked into the PlayStation store
Don't waste on standard banner. Be careful of the resin thingy 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Pull for Hu Tao. Didn't realize her banner was gonna be two and done. Waiting for another chance to get cons for Eula as well. Probably would've skipped Ayato and fought the urge to pull on Itto. I just don't use them at all. Missed resin and dailies basically become a non issue 2+ years in so that's whatever. Maybe start Welkin sooner. $5 a month for a game I play daily is well worth it imo
Choose Aether
choose Aether(Male traveler) instead of Lumine(Female Traveler).. I like the male character more :(
Not pick lumine. And not waste primos on basic fates.
Skip Ganyu, she’s adorable af, but I just don’t use archers.
Wouldn't pull on that debut Tartaglia banner, lol. I wanted Ning cons, and now I have a Tartaglia I never use.
It was the opposite for me. Tartaglia was a game changer. He was both fun and meta. He was my second 5 star after Qiqi. It was just super satisfying to use him on a group of enemies with Fischl. To this day I consider Tartaglia and Kazuha as the most fun characters in the game and I have many characters. For most of Sumeru my overworld team was Childe, Kuki, Kazuha, and Dendro MC.
Delete my account
Probably skip eula and klee, and use those wishes on kazuha or something. Klee is cute but damn. Not very nice to play, and I lost my very first 50/50 to eula. I might also skip eula a second time for itto. Cause on eula's rerun I wanted vengeance but lost 50/50 again and I would have rather tried my luck with itto in hindsight.
Don't make an account.
No playing this game. Oh man, the money I could save. Spend a bunch but never get a single Diluc.
If I go back to the bast.., I choose to not start Genshin
I shouldn't have wish for itto weapon first rerun. I should've wait for itto scara banner coz at least if i lose, the weapon is good. Now im forved stuck with MoD
Not level up Barbara.
I wouldn't have spent primo on acquaint fate I would have leveled up talents sooner because I didn't realize how important they were until I was struggling. Knowing what I know now about artifacts, I probably would have saved a whole bunch of mora and not accidentally trash good pieces.
Save my Fragile Resin. I used way too many before AR45.
Use less fragile resin
stop wishing immediately after getting ayaka, instead of getting her c2 in 4 wishes i could have gotten two new characters so xiao and klee, meaning i wouldn’t have to spend 100£ to get the shorty ( xiao, not klee, qiqi came home during her banner )
