One tip I have is that if you have a character you want that isn't very popular I would prioritize that character as soon as the opportunity arises since chances are it will take longer for him to get a rerun than an extremely popular or META character. Characters like Acheron and Firefly will always be getting reruns due to their popularity so if you miss one of their banners chances are you won't have to wait long for the next one whereas characters like Blade or Seele will be lucky to get one rerun per year. Another thing is to always plan for the worst case scenario and always assume that you will have the worst possible luck in any banner you roll.
7:46 This is literally me with Huo Huo. I was planning to save for Silver Wolf at that time, I never planned on pulling another abundance unit since I already have Luocha and Fu Xuan, two of the most greatest units at that point of the game. After playing her featured event, finding about her backstory, I immediately fell in love with her dynamic with Mr. Tail (I'm a sucker for found family tropes) I immediately pulled for her and has been using her with my DOT team ever since
7:42 Omg another Goghie fan! I remember saving around 400 pulls for her when I played FGO, making her the character I most saved for in any gacha ever. Unfortunately, since this is FGO we're talking about, I only got 2 copies of her and not a single spook.
I have a sort of process for deciding who to pull that ends up effectively being very similar if not identical to your point system, but it's more like a flowchart. It's interesting how there's two ways of ending up doing the same thing. -Find a character I love in the story -If their animations are good, I will pull them -See what team archetypes they fit in and what characters are needed to make them work -Unless I find those characters particularly unlikeable, be it visually or storywise I will pull them so that I can play with my favourites. The only exceptions are supports that I think will enable enough teams in the future that they'll be useable for characters I want. I don't have strong feelings about Sunday, but there's a great chance at least one Summon character will end up being a favourite of mine eventuall yand really want Sunday, so I grabbed him.
In a game like hsr i think it's very beneficial to see what team archetype your fav character fits into and pull their best teammates. A game like genshin is more forgiving in that sense as most team comps are pretty fluid but hsr has a pretty rigid team building meta. To this day i thank god that ratio was free (i wouldn't have pulled him otherwise) bc it allowed me to better invest into my robin and aventurine who i love very much, so i ended up having a very good team (plus topaz), even though i skipped feixiao because i am saving for sunday (350 pulls now). Ofc, you can definitely clear content with a budget team but i cannot stress how easier my life is now that i have that fua team plus ff break, i never need to sweat ever again.
I plan my roles very seriously and save heavily since im F2P. For example, I have been obsessed with Sunday since he first appeared in 1.6's livestream because I love his design, voice and story. So since then every character on banner has had to compete with him. This has ended up with me only pulling Boothill and Firefly after getting Ruan Mei in 1.6. I chose those 2 since Boothill was a really fun looking character to me in both play style and personality (and I also expected him to have some interactions with Sunday but he didnt

I’m definitely a story / design priority person, but over the years playing more gachas I’ve come to realize that fun gameplay is very very important. And a boring kit could be a death sentence in your enjoyment of these games I’ve had this experience rolling for a specific character for their design, then benching them because I found them incredibly boring… and now I just never play them which is the worst possible outcome after saving 160 wishes for said character. TL;DR I think focus on the design / story as a start, but make sure to triple check that you vibe with their gameplay! At least imo
i def agree !! firefly is a great char dps wise, but her gameplay bores me sm 😭 i regret pulling her tbh. i wish i had saved bc i much prefer feixiao’s gameplay !
The saving I do tends to just be a patch in advance at most. Like how I started saving for Raiden in Fontaine even though I might not have had enough to also get Nahida. Or recently for Xilonen. Still, I'm only a year or two into the game and I'm mostly focused on getting more characters in general. Charlotte or Heizou for example. I didn't even get my first C6 until recently.
I plan my pulls based on team building. I aim for characters that my team needs, either a huge upgrade to a current character that I have or someone that fits that team really well. I also based them whether I'll be aiming to build a specific type of team, like if I'm looking to make a FUA team or something like that. It just makes me feel happy to see a fully built team functioning like a unit in game. Right now, I'm saving up my pulls to get Aventurine since I've recently gotten Topaz. He's the only one missing in my Feixiao FUA team.
For me in a combat focused game, their kit is whats really important to me which is a blessing and a curse. Literally all of the Limited Characters I like are supports/preservation units. The only DPS I like is Boothill.. I make my 4 stars work and hopefully I can get my Himeko sooner than the free one we get for 300 standard pulls
For me, I pull more for story and design than their place in the meta. I loved the IPC stonehearts and all of them conveniently have broken e1 so I got all of them e1s1. I’ll be planning to pull for Sunday and screwllum since I’ve been waiting ages for them and sinc the next patch is probably a genius society one, I hope Stephen and Opal also drop so I can get my little boys.
As a F2P, I choose archetype and stick to it. It doesn’t matter how amazing and eye catching their design is, if they don’t fit into FUA or Break, and aren’t an upgrade to my overall team, I skip.
one of the things that has worked for me in hsr is pulling newer characters over older ones. for example, in 2.1 i was stuck between pulling acheron and jingliu. both of them were really good at that point, and basically interchangeable. but hoyo likes to do this thing where they hype up new characters by giving them good supports after they’ve come out, and thats exactly what happened to acheron. now in 2.5, jingliu is still good, but nowhere near the level she was at before. acheron is still doing pretty good with all the new cast.
I think that you should pull for who you like best who currently has a banner if you're a new ftp who doesn’t really have many good dps characters, and if you know a character you really want has an upcoming banner, only really save then. You may not get weapons and copies of characters but it helps you get more characters in the long run, something that's really good for games like hsr which require you to have different characters of different elemental typings. (This is what my impulsive adhd brain does so it doesn't go insane from waiting for characters and updates for so long)
Nah bro im cooked. Im a new player and i only have Lingsha. Now they are gonna release Rappa, Acheron, Adventurine, Sunday and Fugue. literally impossible to plan lol
Newer players also get a monumental amount of jades . If you want to set yourself up just focus on pulling a dps and support . Best not pull for erudition chrtr like Rappa cause she shines mostly in one endgame mode . Assuming you're f2p , if not then pick up anything lmao
not gonna lie, but pay attention to leaks. day one of every patch, you’ll stumble across leakers on RUclips testing out the characters of the next patch (in beta). So when Rappa releases, look for the Sunday/Fugue leaks, it’ll help you decide if you need, want or hate them hehe and ofc monitor their changes as well, day one beta kits almost always aren’t the final product. Cheers!
well it doesnt rlly matter. even if i obtain my fav char i still have to make a team with them. but 5050 destroys everything. so i feel paradoxical, gaged in endless suffering.
Literally the only time i care about design in hsr and it has to be Rappa with her very average kit. This happened with jingyuan as well when i thought he was a cool general in the story so he must be strong in game too but sike he got benched a few weeks after i got him. I might just roll the dice before I decide to pull for anyone
I just started playing Homkai bcs of the cowboy. Idk when he will appear again but I’m saving even tho I’m super tempted to pull bcs I have no characters.
I don't really plan my pulls, since my account is seemingly blessed by the gacha gods, and EVERY single 5 star i have gotten (besides seele, firefly, feixiao, and luocha) have all been under 50 pity, and were all 50/50 wins. It's been this way ever since I lost to keqing and jean on 2 SEPERATE ACCOUNTS for Father. Every single 5 star on Hsr, Genshin, and even WuWa have been early and were 50/50 wins. I'm hoping to get both Aventurine and Acheron on their upcoming reruns, while also somehow getting Rappa, but I won't risk it and just skip Rappa entirely. TL;DR: Just be lucky lmao
Ive ssid this before but i have one (simp)le rule. If jp va Ami Koshimizu is voicing a character i WILL pull for her. And so far i have not been disapointed. (Beidou and yinlin) and yes ill be pulling gor miyabi in zzz. To me va' are like music. It need to sound good and there are soo many great va's but a few that i like as much as Ami Koshimizu. Maybe Saori Hayami but so far i only have Kamisato Ayaka. Am i crazy thinking like that.... maybe.
I Alr Pre Farmed All Of Acherons Mats N Her Pulls Guranteed, N If I Have Some Left Over After Pulling For Her LC I'll Pull For Sunday, But Ngl I Hope Sunday Reruns In 3.3 So I Can Get Him Again Cuz I Dont Think I Can Get Him On His Debut
Genuinely dont know how people maintain their credits man traces and relic upgrades are expensive, do my assignments, fight some world enemies and daily still it hurts.
I prioritized pulling by how many Eidolons I have for the 4 stars, for example if 2 out of 3 characters already have a e6 in my account then it's an easy skip. Only time I don't prioritized 4 stars, Is if I fail to get a 50/50.
Waiting for 6 months for the character you want just because you don't like the 4 stars on the banner is rough :/. I'm forced to pull for Aventurine (I have no limited sustains) and I won't get use out of any those 4 stars.
I kinda did what someone does in a game like Teamfight Tactics, lol. I started playing the game 3 days before the end of Feixiao's banner. I had no idea who she was nor anything but the second I tried her I knew I wanted her... I sped through the story to get me 70+ rolls and lost the 50/50. That was it... bye, Feixiao. :( With that I decided to build a Break team because Harmorny MC and Gallagher are free, but I was really feeling the lack of Ruan Mei and Firefly in my team. When Lingsha dropped I decided to pull for her because I only had E0 Gallagher and even if he showed up on a banner I wouldn't go for his E6 and spend so many rolls. (BTW this is a thing that people who've been playing since day 1 and guide makers seem to not understand. All I see in comments and stuff is "why pull for Lingsha when there's Gallagher?" but Lingsha E0 is miles easier to get than Gallagher E6 and she deals a lot of damage while doing good heals too.) And now I'm anxious about who to pull next because the meta can change for the 3.x, but I already got Lingsha so wouldn't it be good for me to comit to Break? Firefly is prob coming on 2.7, but what about Ruan Mei? This has been my thought process about who to pull as a beginner and all because I lost that damn 50/50 on Feixiao u.u thanks, mihoyo.
Gallagher is not free. I started at 2.4 and I don't have Gallagher. I want him, but next 2 banners won't even have him, I've been waiting for a long while.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a triple banner of ruan Mei, boothill and firefly with fugue tbh… Since they like to run whole teams together. I think firefly reruns will be attached to ruan mei now
Well, you can pull a character later on, but what about powercreep? Most of the characters become useless by the time they get a rerun. As someone who plays from launch I also have friends that started recently, asking me about who should they pull and it's a really though question if you are not a meta player. What if someone likes Seele on the start of the game? And if i tell them to pull for whoever they like it would be a very bad suggestion, because Seele can't clear current endgame and story content at all (aside from simulated universe). I, myself have been pulling only for the characters i like, but it doesn't seem to be an option anymore. (i didn't like aventurine and oops! every single team in endgame content needs him) It would be cool if you discussed this topic too. Great video anyway.
@kizunakun8217 hey, appreciate the watch on the video! imo, that kind of question can still be answered by the criteria I laid out in the video - if you want to clear end game content, then kit is going to be an important part of your decision making. If you just want to clear the story and make your favorite units strong, the other 3 will be more important. Just have to categorize what you want to achieve into the category and make the decision based off that.
I jus pull supports over everything, every now and then I'll get a new dps cuz of power creep but with good investment and good supports old/mid characters can still clear content. Unless I jus love the character (Argenti and Firefly) I pull smort. Also I know this contradicts what I said but screw Sunday TINGYUN COME HOME (TBH I thought Sunday was a glorified npc like Cocolia)
I'm slowly getting fed up by the powercreep. My beloved units from the past are so insanely powercrept that I can't use them at all without seeing them have a hard time clearing end content. every time a new character comes out, for a while they clear moc so well with all the buffs directly targeted towards buffing the new unit. and in a few patches they get powercrept. ex: firefly implanting fire weakness with her skill was already enough for me because pulling characters for weakness coverage became completely pointless. and also the new moc buff is literally two toughness bars with more break dmg.
I'm interested in this issue, when I say I like the powercreep to others, they'll be angry. I assumed that they're waifu lovers or something. How about you? For me, the more powerful the future character, the easier for me. If Rappa powercreep firefly I'm very happy, because firefly can already clear the moc 12, if rappa is stronger than her, then it'll be easier for me and firefly can be what she is, it doesn't make her weaker or something. So, is there something else? What character you're using right now?
@@kokoro212 firefly and rappa are similar in gameplay and also benefit from break buffs in end game content. if we get into 3.0 and the meta changes. who knows if firefly, boothill, and rappa will suddenly feel like they’re not clearing the end content easily anymore. the overarching problem isnt that there is powercreep, it’s that the powercreep margin is so large and done so fast
for me its like that i cant justify rolling for a character im a big fan of it the character is almost trash at the current point in the game, like Jing Yuan is one of my favourites unfortunately he is really not that good so i cant justify getting him, same was for acheron, i didnt like her design and her character but i figured that i had a lot of nihility characters to make her work and the damage shes doing + the overworld instant kill was the reason to get her. Now with Firefly i was interested in every aspect, i like her design, hear story / the trailers were peak fiction and she is obviously the strongest destruction unit currently in the game usable to bruteforce through any gamemode. For the upcoming Fugue and Sunday i have a really hard time because i want to run teams that are ideally from the same region / planet, sunday i was hoping for to replace my ruan mei to have a complete penacony team, but now that we now through leaks that fugue is going to be the crazy superbreak support and sunday will action advance summons, which absolutely is unusable for me. Sunday being my favorite character makes it really hard to decide if i should get him while the real Tingyun looks good and her kit has a crazy value...
My personal criteria for deciding who to pull: Do i like the character?, if no then skip, if yes then Is the character gonna benefit my account?, if yes then i pull That's why I'm never gonna pull for Topaz or Yunli, i hate them with a burning passion in the story, and while i like Sparkle, i also hate hypercarry teams so unfortunately i doubt I'm ever gonna pull her. But there are some characters i would pull purely just because i like them, like Firefly (i would have pulled her even if she was bad), 5* Herta when she comes out, and fucking Screwllum IF he ever becomes playable, like goddamn Hoyo, you let Sunday out of your basement, what about us Screwllum fans though?
Since I'll whale for whatever characters I really want, this video doesn't really matter to me. But I still wanna watch it because your content is quite entertaining.
i need help guys🙏 im starting a not so new account, it's TL 55 rn. i pulled for blade when he was aired for the first time using the 1 day beginner pulls, i abandoned it at about TL 14, then i came back when we got the free dr ration just to claim him but never played the account. recently i played again and got feixiao + robin in 7 pulls, got feixiao's lc in 1 ten pull, and recently got topaz. should i pull for Aventurine or pull for Sunday and wait for a new dps? i only have 1 team and not really in a rush for moc. and i dont really care abt acheron since she's expensive
honestly get aventurine, the best upgrade you can make to any account is a 5* sustain. huohuos been carrying my alt acc thats in a similar situation as yours (except i have yunli instead of blade). aventurine is easily the most comfortable sustain in the game and hes the best feixiao sustain by far
@@curryfishheadenjoyer that makes sense, i could also save up for a sunday rerun (i really want him) while waiting for the tailor made dps for him, thankyou!
46 pity gurrented f2p no premium support pulling adventurine and Acheron 100% will have time to save for sunday Already started saving should i go for Dan heng and rappa or not? can i realistically get 3-5 five stars in all those updates? cuzzz i have saved pity and pulls (around 80) and got some great luck getting earlies
The only question that matters to me, is the kit. Star Rail, for myself, required building 2 main teams for endgame content that requires 2 teams. Star Rail's toughness system required that I pull Damage Dealers of each elemental type, until they released Acheron and Feixio (sp?)... and I guess Firefly and Boothill, since they implant their own weaknesses on everything they attack. Early on, I made sure to get Silverwolf because of this, which allowed my limited account to deal with multiple scenarios. Each team required at least 1 sustain. I passed on Luocha, because I highly dislike any spiritistic themes in characters - this is why I also passed on HuoHuo. This left me with Fu Xuan, who I missed on her banner, and eventually Aventurine. Until I had Aventurine, I had to rely on Natasha and Lynx for all my healing, and Gallagher came later, but didn't work with my play style. Eventually I got Fu Xuan as well, so now I have 2 core teams. For most content, I have these 2 teams: Acheron, pink fox, pela, Fu Xuan and Feixio, March swords, Moze (currently building), Aventurine I also have Jing Yuan, DanIL, Sparkle, Ruan Mei, and a few other good units, but they're more for changing things up, now that Acheron and Fei just conquer all, regardless of element. Story is irrelevant for pulling. On the other hand, the design or voice can remove a character from my list. I don't want characters that annoy me, voice wise, during combat. (I dislike Robin... kit or voice) I don't want characters that I would make me embarrassed if someone saw them on my screen. This can mean scantily clad usually... and we know the negative connotation to certain appearances. Now that I have a core team for each main end game type, I'm going deeper into my core team. (Light Cones and Eidolons) DanIL E2, Acheron E2, and Aventurine E1 are my next main goals... and due to banner timing, it looks like I'll only get Aventurine E1 this time around.
Just waifu pull and the game will be so ez. They will clear the game themselves in fun button mode. When you're in doubt then just be a waifu puller and skip husbandos.
If you don't want anything else and really like Acheron, vertically investing is a decent option, yeah. Wouldn't go for it unless you do really like her though
I play her with 2 other Nihility units ANYWAY, so the bonus of E2 isn't very tempting... but it is a long term goal for me, so I can add a buffer to make her team even stronger. In the next banner where Acheron is available, she's up against Aventurine, and his E1 is far more useful to me (and I'd have to go through Acheron E1 to get to E2... and getting her E1 won't be as impactful to my team as Aventurine E1...)
I have Acheron E2S1 and she is worth it. Her ability to clear trash mobs in overworld and fast SU run weekly . She can clear MoC, AS and PF on one side for you. The new summon meta might change that.

@@dumbitchstella Doesn't seem too bad, if you don't have a limited sustain and are forced to run someone like Lynx or Bailu then it's hell. Surviving alone is difficult enough. Were you able to do it in 10 cycles?
I don't really like sunday find him very boring and overplayed archetype in lore but if he's strong in game and is a versatile support I'll probably get him and mother tingyun ofc

one of the things that has worked for me in hsr is pulling newer characters over older ones. for example, in 2.1 i was stuck between pulling acheron and jingliu. both of them were really good at that point, and basically interchangeable. but hoyo likes to do this thing where they hype up new characters by giving them good supports after they’ve come out, and thats exactly what happened to acheron. now in 2.5, jingliu is still good, but nowhere near the level she was at before. acheron is still doing pretty good with all the new cast.
I need Aventurine and Acheron on their re-run(new player here) but I also WANT Sunday and Tinyung2.0
I think that you should pull for who you like best who currently has a banner if you're a new ftp who doesn’t really have many good dps characters, and if you know a character you really want has an upcoming banner, only really save then. You may not get weapons and copies of characters but it helps you get more characters in the long run, something that's really good for games like hsr which require you to have different characters of different elemental typings.
(This is what my impulsive adhd brain does so it doesn't go insane from waiting for characters and updates for so long)
You literally called me out of fugue
3:30 Jing Yuan is my husbando, and I’m a straight dude.
Imo gameplay is most important because youll get bored fast like firefly in my case
Easy Sunday , been waiting for him since the leak
Nah bro im cooked. Im a new player and i only have Lingsha. Now they are gonna release Rappa, Acheron, Adventurine, Sunday and Fugue. literally impossible to plan lol
Newer players also get a monumental amount of jades . If you want to set yourself up just focus on pulling a dps and support . Best not pull for erudition chrtr like Rappa cause she shines mostly in one endgame mode . Assuming you're f2p , if not then pick up anything lmao
@@pandascheme9266 yh ill probably go for adventurine and acheron first. And Sunday just for the style
not gonna lie, but pay attention to leaks. day one of every patch, you’ll stumble across leakers on RUclips testing out the characters of the next patch (in beta). So when Rappa releases, look for the Sunday/Fugue leaks, it’ll help you decide if you need, want or hate them hehe
and ofc monitor their changes as well, day one beta kits almost always aren’t the final product. Cheers!
Sunday is hot (if I squint he kind of looks like Zandik...) and I already have Acheron.
i want them all but my jades isnt willing
Honestly it’s been a bit tough but I manage to get 5 pulls a day with the daily pass thingy
Nah i'd gamble
well it doesnt rlly matter. even if i obtain my fav char i still have to make a team with them. but 5050 destroys everything. so i feel paradoxical, gaged in endless suffering.
I guess this IS solved by just... QUITTING. But it's hard to end an addiction
if you're patient enough the correct answer is to wait for 3.0 and pull eidolons for the broken unit they'll inevitably release then
Thank you, HSR, for introducing Crit sets WAAAY too late into the game. I feel like crying now…
One thing I know I skip skippa
Literally the only time i care about design in hsr and it has to be Rappa with her very average kit. This happened with jingyuan as well when i thought he was a cool general in the story so he must be strong in game too but sike he got benched a few weeks after i got him. I might just roll the dice before I decide to pull for anyone
BRUH get the cc that you dont like but they are still meta so you can get more pulls to get what you want later and have fun that is the best move
Im addicted to doing gacha, thats why i make a second account where i don't need to save my pull
I just started playing Homkai bcs of the cowboy. Idk when he will appear again but I’m saving even tho I’m super tempted to pull bcs I have no characters.
I just pull whoever has a banner first bc I’m impatient af
I don't really plan my pulls, since my account is seemingly blessed by the gacha gods, and EVERY single 5 star i have gotten (besides seele, firefly, feixiao, and luocha) have all been under 50 pity, and were all 50/50 wins. It's been this way ever since I lost to keqing and jean on 2 SEPERATE ACCOUNTS for Father. Every single 5 star on Hsr, Genshin, and even WuWa have been early and were 50/50 wins. I'm hoping to get both Aventurine and Acheron on their upcoming reruns, while also somehow getting Rappa, but I won't risk it and just skip Rappa entirely.
TL;DR: Just be lucky lmao
Ive ssid this before but i have one (simp)le rule.
If jp va Ami Koshimizu is voicing a character i WILL pull for her. And so far i have not been disapointed. (Beidou and yinlin) and yes ill be pulling gor miyabi in zzz. To me va' are like music. It need to sound good and there are soo many great va's but a few that i like as much as Ami Koshimizu.
Maybe Saori Hayami but so far i only have Kamisato Ayaka.
Am i crazy thinking like that.... maybe.
I Alr Pre Farmed All Of Acherons Mats N Her Pulls Guranteed, N If I Have Some Left Over After Pulling For Her LC I'll Pull For Sunday, But Ngl I Hope Sunday Reruns In 3.3 So I Can Get Him Again Cuz I Dont Think I Can Get Him On His Debut
Genuinely dont know how people maintain their credits man traces and relic upgrades are expensive, do my assignments, fight some world enemies and daily still it hurts.
Ez I’m saving for Sunday, I go for who I want not there Kit I could care less about what they do.
I prioritized pulling by how many Eidolons I have for the 4 stars, for example if 2 out of 3 characters already have a e6 in my account then it's an easy skip.
Only time I don't prioritized 4 stars, Is if I fail to get a 50/50.
Waiting for 6 months for the character you want just because you don't like the 4 stars on the banner is rough :/. I'm forced to pull for Aventurine (I have no limited sustains) and I won't get use out of any those 4 stars.
I kinda did what someone does in a game like Teamfight Tactics, lol. I started playing the game 3 days before the end of Feixiao's banner. I had no idea who she was nor anything but the second I tried her I knew I wanted her... I sped through the story to get me 70+ rolls and lost the 50/50. That was it... bye, Feixiao. :( With that I decided to build a Break team because Harmorny MC and Gallagher are free, but I was really feeling the lack of Ruan Mei and Firefly in my team. When Lingsha dropped I decided to pull for her because I only had E0 Gallagher and even if he showed up on a banner I wouldn't go for his E6 and spend so many rolls. (BTW this is a thing that people who've been playing since day 1 and guide makers seem to not understand. All I see in comments and stuff is "why pull for Lingsha when there's Gallagher?" but Lingsha E0 is miles easier to get than Gallagher E6 and she deals a lot of damage while doing good heals too.) And now I'm anxious about who to pull next because the meta can change for the 3.x, but I already got Lingsha so wouldn't it be good for me to comit to Break? Firefly is prob coming on 2.7, but what about Ruan Mei? This has been my thought process about who to pull as a beginner and all because I lost that damn 50/50 on Feixiao u.u thanks, mihoyo.
Gallagher is not free. I started at 2.4 and I don't have Gallagher. I want him, but next 2 banners won't even have him, I've been waiting for a long while.
To be fair, if you really wanted to suffer, the story gives ~400 pulls, but I would not recommend burning yourself out of the game like that.
@@IgnasV yea, sorry. I more mean't he's f2p friendly as in 4 star, mb
wait for acheron, dont pull anything else, just get her E0 and save ALL your jades for 3.0-3.1
you'll brick your account getting a bunch of E0s.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a triple banner of ruan Mei, boothill and firefly with fugue tbh… Since they like to run whole teams together. I think firefly reruns will be attached to ruan mei now
Well, you can pull a character later on, but what about powercreep? Most of the characters become useless by the time they get a rerun. As someone who plays from launch I also have friends that started recently, asking me about who should they pull and it's a really though question if you are not a meta player. What if someone likes Seele on the start of the game? And if i tell them to pull for whoever they like it would be a very bad suggestion, because Seele can't clear current endgame and story content at all (aside from simulated universe).
I, myself have been pulling only for the characters i like, but it doesn't seem to be an option anymore. (i didn't like aventurine and oops! every single team in endgame content needs him)
It would be cool if you discussed this topic too.
Great video anyway.
@kizunakun8217 hey, appreciate the watch on the video!
imo, that kind of question can still be answered by the criteria I laid out in the video - if you want to clear end game content, then kit is going to be an important part of your decision making. If you just want to clear the story and make your favorite units strong, the other 3 will be more important. Just have to categorize what you want to achieve into the category and make the decision based off that.
I been saving months for kukulkan that drops on feb man being an fgo player is hard
I jus pull supports over everything, every now and then I'll get a new dps cuz of power creep but with good investment and good supports old/mid characters can still clear content. Unless I jus love the character (Argenti and Firefly) I pull smort.
Also I know this contradicts what I said but screw Sunday TINGYUN COME HOME
(TBH I thought Sunday was a glorified npc like Cocolia)
I’m saving for whatever the Fate Collab gives me. Screw meta.
I can't wait for that ngl
I'm slowly getting fed up by the powercreep. My beloved units from the past are so insanely powercrept that I can't use them at all without seeing them have a hard time clearing end content. every time a new character comes out, for a while they clear moc so well with all the buffs directly targeted towards buffing the new unit. and in a few patches they get powercrept.
ex: firefly implanting fire weakness with her skill was already enough for me because pulling characters for weakness coverage became completely pointless. and also the new moc buff is literally two toughness bars with more break dmg.
I'm interested in this issue, when I say I like the powercreep to others, they'll be angry.
I assumed that they're waifu lovers or something.
How about you?
For me, the more powerful the future character, the easier for me.
If Rappa powercreep firefly I'm very happy, because firefly can already clear the moc 12, if rappa is stronger than her, then it'll be easier for me and firefly can be what she is, it doesn't make her weaker or something.
So, is there something else?
What character you're using right now?
@@kokoro212 firefly and rappa are similar in gameplay and also benefit from break buffs in end game content. if we get into 3.0 and the meta changes. who knows if firefly, boothill, and rappa will suddenly feel like they’re not clearing the end content easily anymore. the overarching problem isnt that there is powercreep, it’s that the powercreep margin is so large and done so fast
my prio list:
1) 5* tingyun
2) everyone else XD
My plan is acheron see if the other two are meta if they are i will most liekly pick tingyun over sunday
arthuria pendragon coming next year
for me its like that i cant justify rolling for a character im a big fan of it the character is almost trash at the current point in the game, like Jing Yuan is one of my favourites unfortunately he is really not that good so i cant justify getting him, same was for acheron, i didnt like her design and her character but i figured that i had a lot of nihility characters to make her work and the damage shes doing + the overworld instant kill was the reason to get her. Now with Firefly i was interested in every aspect, i like her design, hear story / the trailers were peak fiction and she is obviously the strongest destruction unit currently in the game usable to bruteforce through any gamemode. For the upcoming Fugue and Sunday i have a really hard time because i want to run teams that are ideally from the same region / planet, sunday i was hoping for to replace my ruan mei to have a complete penacony team, but now that we now through leaks that fugue is going to be the crazy superbreak support and sunday will action advance summons, which absolutely is unusable for me. Sunday being my favorite character makes it really hard to decide if i should get him while the real Tingyun looks good and her kit has a crazy value...
Its baffling that people still need to be told obvious stuff like this
My personal criteria for deciding who to pull:
Do i like the character?, if no then skip, if yes then
Is the character gonna benefit my account?, if yes then i pull
That's why I'm never gonna pull for Topaz or Yunli, i hate them with a burning passion in the story, and while i like Sparkle, i also hate hypercarry teams so unfortunately i doubt I'm ever gonna pull her.
But there are some characters i would pull purely just because i like them, like Firefly (i would have pulled her even if she was bad), 5* Herta when she comes out, and fucking Screwllum IF he ever becomes playable, like goddamn Hoyo, you let Sunday out of your basement, what about us Screwllum fans though?
Since I'll whale for whatever characters I really want, this video doesn't really matter to me. But I still wanna watch it because your content is quite entertaining.
You pick the one that isn't a dweeb who got beat up by his sisters friends because he tried to imprison them like a weird freak
I play 3 accounts.. and pull on different banners
1 hypercarry focus, 1 FuA, 1 don't give a sh** about meta account lol
i need help guys🙏 im starting a not so new account, it's TL 55 rn. i pulled for blade when he was aired for the first time using the 1 day beginner pulls, i abandoned it at about TL 14, then i came back when we got the free dr ration just to claim him but never played the account. recently i played again and got feixiao + robin in 7 pulls, got feixiao's lc in 1 ten pull, and recently got topaz. should i pull for Aventurine or pull for Sunday and wait for a new dps? i only have 1 team and not really in a rush for moc. and i dont really care abt acheron since she's expensive
honestly get aventurine, the best upgrade you can make to any account is a 5* sustain. huohuos been carrying my alt acc thats in a similar situation as yours (except i have yunli instead of blade). aventurine is easily the most comfortable sustain in the game and hes the best feixiao sustain by far
@@curryfishheadenjoyer that makes sense, i could also save up for a sunday rerun (i really want him) while waiting for the tailor made dps for him, thankyou!
Planning? Nah ...i see u amd i likes u...we can do it the easy way or the hard way
Im skipping sunday im going for fugue
look like im saving up for more blade or to max my DOT team none of these 4 intrest me
46 pity gurrented f2p no premium support
pulling adventurine and Acheron 100%
will have time to save for sunday
Already started saving
should i go for Dan heng and rappa or not?
can i realistically get 3-5 five stars in all those updates? cuzzz i have saved pity and pulls (around 80) and got some great luck getting earlies
Usually it's just 1 character per patch (2 phases of banners), but that's with average luck.
The only question that matters to me, is the kit.
Star Rail, for myself, required building 2 main teams for endgame content that requires 2 teams. Star Rail's toughness system required that I pull Damage Dealers of each elemental type, until they released Acheron and Feixio (sp?)... and I guess Firefly and Boothill, since they implant their own weaknesses on everything they attack. Early on, I made sure to get Silverwolf because of this, which allowed my limited account to deal with multiple scenarios.
Each team required at least 1 sustain. I passed on Luocha, because I highly dislike any spiritistic themes in characters - this is why I also passed on HuoHuo. This left me with Fu Xuan, who I missed on her banner, and eventually Aventurine. Until I had Aventurine, I had to rely on Natasha and Lynx for all my healing, and Gallagher came later, but didn't work with my play style. Eventually I got Fu Xuan as well, so now I have 2 core teams.
For most content, I have these 2 teams:
Acheron, pink fox, pela, Fu Xuan
and
Feixio, March swords, Moze (currently building), Aventurine
I also have Jing Yuan, DanIL, Sparkle, Ruan Mei, and a few other good units, but they're more for changing things up, now that Acheron and Fei just conquer all, regardless of element.
Story is irrelevant for pulling.
On the other hand, the design or voice can remove a character from my list.
I don't want characters that annoy me, voice wise, during combat. (I dislike Robin... kit or voice)
I don't want characters that I would make me embarrassed if someone saw them on my screen. This can mean scantily clad usually... and we know the negative connotation to certain appearances.
Now that I have a core team for each main end game type, I'm going deeper into my core team. (Light Cones and Eidolons)
DanIL E2, Acheron E2, and Aventurine E1 are my next main goals... and due to banner timing, it looks like I'll only get Aventurine E1 this time around.
Just waifu pull and the game will be so ez. They will clear the game themselves in fun button mode.
When you're in doubt then just be a waifu puller and skip husbandos.
Is acheron e2 worth it
If you don't want anything else and really like Acheron, vertically investing is a decent option, yeah. Wouldn't go for it unless you do really like her though
I play her with 2 other Nihility units ANYWAY, so the bonus of E2 isn't very tempting... but it is a long term goal for me, so I can add a buffer to make her team even stronger. In the next banner where Acheron is available, she's up against Aventurine, and his E1 is far more useful to me (and I'd have to go through Acheron E1 to get to E2... and getting her E1 won't be as impactful to my team as Aventurine E1...)
I have Acheron E2S1 and she is worth it.
Her ability to clear trash mobs in overworld and fast SU run weekly .
She can clear MoC, AS and PF on one side for you.
The new summon meta might change that.
Just pull E1S1 robin and E1S1 ruan mei then u gud 👍
E1 Robin can't save Arlan..
@@IgnasV Nah, I did AS stage 4 with Arlan and E1S0 Robin, she's good.
@@dumbitchstella what the rest of the team looked like? And what were the relic substats rolls?
@@IgnasV First team Yanqing E2S5- Aventurine E0S0 - Ruan Mei E0S0 - Tingyun - E6S3(DDD)
Second team Arlan E6S5 - Fu Xuan - E0S1 - Bronya E1S2 - Robin E1S0
Arlan had the Blade set with 136 SPD, 160.8 Crit DMG, 73.5% chance and 2.8k Atk, the LC was his signature 4* one. Yanqing had 2 piece Musketeer and 2 piece Ice with 125 SPD, 179.6% Crit DMG, 54.1 chance and 3k Atk, and the LC was his signature 4* one.
@@dumbitchstella Doesn't seem too bad, if you don't have a limited sustain and are forced to run someone like Lynx or Bailu then it's hell. Surviving alone is difficult enough. Were you able to do it in 10 cycles?
It's all or nothing.
Just get lucky bro it's not tht hard
Basically pull what's the most meta. And don't pull for old characters unless to get dupes.
Pulling the character you "like" isnt gonna clear the endgame ya know
it will the game is super easy
what's the point of clearing the endgame if you're not having fun with it?
I don't really like sunday find him very boring and overplayed archetype in lore but if he's strong in game and is a versatile support I'll probably get him and mother tingyun ofc
i’m curious what you mean by overplayed archetype, what other characters have his archetype?
