Bro. We spend that much on games, eating out, buying clothes.... it IS low spending when youre an adult and have a job lmao. Thats to say like 150 a month tho. We dont even know if that account spent that much in a single month.
c6 zhongli may be one of the best characters because when his shield is equipped the damage that should be taken from enemies is used to heal the character instead. that makes him such a great healer and shield character!
the difference between pure f2p and welkin and/or bp is actually kind of big mainly bc bp weapons and welkin/bp will almost certainly have more 5 stars as the primos accumulate over time
When it comes to dollar value it aint. Its $20. Like just dont buy that big mac meal and youre good? (not saying you eat mcd just making a comparison with how little $20 is)
@sleepyheartss6894 a year of welkin is 60 dollars vs if you bought that many primos it'd cost over 500 dollars, though with welkin you do have to make sure to do the work everyday of logging in and also doing your dailies (which already dailies are 60 and welkin gives u 90 in addition) I think I've done the math before and for a month of playing the minimum everyday f2p has a little over 1 ten pull but having welkin already bumps it to almost 3 ten pulls. So yes welkin is a big upgrade and very worth it, especially the value of price
As long as you have enough dedication to build your characters, FtP account can be as good as any whales one *Edit: (As a FtP) Damage wise ?

I always tell myself that games were created to be played! The creators wouldn't want to spend countless of money into something that's too hard, or confusing, for most people to play. All gamers have to start somewhere
Genshin can be your 1st game! Most of the genshin stiff doesnt require playing with someone. You can play it however you want and that makes it fun for me. Just ignore people who might try to backseat your gameplay. Play however you like it. 💗
yeah, it was a little shocking for me ngl lol but he's not a standard banner character, he's a character you can choose if you wanna roll for or not, so they obviously didn't want him
OMG Ant. Not only did i know that you were already tall, humble, charismatic, funny, entertaining, and just... good overall, that you deserve this piece, but now, i really can see... you getting rewarded for once, when as every other time you've been unlucky.😌
Here's my practical comparison between f2p and welkin only account: F2p: 34 star spiral abyss, no hard content in overworld or domains, less variety. Welkin only: 36 star spiral abyss. Every dies before easily, comfortable and lots of variety.
fr i spent money before but i could buy the same package and get the bonus again xd i bought again. hopefully they keep resetting it. im not a whale tho i just spend money occasionally if i dont have primos anymore to get a character that i really want and like
as an f2p... i look down on them tbh especially the ones that either have trash builds and are similair or less consitent then me or those that complain all the time about things being too easy
@@Strashkyheavy on the ones tht complain😭like bro you spent a lot of money and have great builds to 36 star abyss in like a minute ofc it's easy for you
@@gxmini.editzz9890 wut?? i spend 0 money and i beat every abyss chamber in 2 minutes. i just look down on people that spend more then me and cant even do a fraction of what i can do. actually. i look down on all spenders that wasted money on this babygame
I know everyone has different meanings of what a spender is but this is how I see it- F2P/Low Spender - never/occasionally buys welkin (5$ per month) and BP (10$) so like 20$ every new update Dolphin/Mid Spender - buys some genesis crystals from time to time for characters, outfits, weapons etc. Always buys the welkin/bp, owns at least half of the limited 5* and above. So around 50-100$ per new update Collector/Whale - owns every characters and weapon (at least C0R1) have some constellations for 5* but not all. Also has all BP namecards too. Primo refreshes for resin everyday. Definitely spends 300-500$> per update Leviathan - literally pays for Genshin's rent, electricity and employees at this point
Thanks to the whales who pay 300 dollars to get a character and 2000 dollars for a c6, you win 50/50 without having Piti and you even get double legendary rolls
tbh spending money in genshin to me is just a time saver, you can get super amazing artifacts and characters as an f2p, it just takes longer 🧐 awesome vid keep up the good work
5:03 I just want to know what inside the mind of this player to give Jean 'Dull Blade'. I mean I know someone who level up their Dull Blade just for the meme and give it to their traveler lol
Jean wasn't in the team, maybe they needed the weapon they usually give her for another character. For how Antony reacted he didn't take the time to check the characters before bringing them in the abyss.
@@biazacha Well, he tried to build Kokomi as a dps, diluc with full def% for tanking (while he has c1 zhongli) and mains electro traveler. I swear its these people that also have the best luck, he pulled thundering pulse and vortex vanquisher on their banners in under 8 pulls and got c1 zhongli and jean in a single 10 pull
even though spending money is an easy way to just be able to power through lots of fights, spending no money just makes the game a little more fun. sometimes it can get stressful but that's the fun of it.
Honestly any acc (f2p or not) is able to 36 star abyss depending on the enemies there. I am a f2p and I 36 starred abyss before but only once since the enemies weren’t that hard for my characters to kill :D
@@chaeripie888 haha it’s simple, just invest into your dps like triple crowning them and also I don’t use supports so I try to get most of my dmg from all characters and not just one. You also need to hope for the abyss monsters to not have resistance to your dps :v
"it is- literally just kazuha" yes. as a kazuha main, yes. considering the low ish cd on that kazuha, id be terrified of him with 200 cd. my kazuha with his dps gear hits scarily high enough numbers at c2 mist (and iffy artifacts, but 2.2k atk 57-216 so its not horrible but id like more cr.) id be terrified of that kind of ratio at c6.. also in agreement that, it does not matter. i have 2 f2p alt accounts and both can 36 star abyss. my main account where i do spend also can. with enough investment, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
legit tearing up at c6 kazuha, one day i'll get there too i swear 😭😭 first character i've ever pulled for, saved up for his rerun and managed c2, he will always be my priority, one day in the far future i'll see the c6 too
A person joined my world while I was matching once and I looked at their profile later on because I noticed the high amounts of damage and that they were ar 60, and each of the slots on their profile were filled with 5 star, r5, and c6 characters, and I don't think there were any standard characters on their profile
This video made me realize how unlucky I am in Genshin, spent quite a lot while not going for any constellations but I'm still missing plenty of 5 stars why 😃
Depends on how you spent it. I've been paying for the $5 monthly thing since the beginning, so I'll be at $120 spent for 72k primogems when we get to the 2nd anniversary. Buying straight up that same money would only get you like 15k primos.
I’ve spent a lot of money (roughly 300 bucks) and have been insanely lucky. (Pulling 2 5 stars in a single ten pull twice.) My luck has gone in the wishing system and nothing in artifacts ;w;
My ftp friend is missing only 4ish characters, one is Kokomi which she is getting in 3.0, this girl can farm 5k primos in like 8 hours lol, a ftp can be just as good as a whale, just it takes more effort
I was on the whale side of things my first year. (Collecting al 5*, getting three at C6). Funny side effect is now I have no reason to pull on anything. I can complete all content, I have a variety of teams to build, and now I'm spending nothing. Started a FTP account to see how it felt, and actually enjoyed the game more since I have to think about resource management, team comp, combat is harder. I don't necessarily regret the money I spent because I could afford it, but if I could go back in time I'd probably just be a Welkin player.
I spent about 3-4k and don't have as many c6 units as the whale in video by far. Therefore $2000+ is set a little bit low, more likely $8000+. Did the whale himself claim that he spent about 2k? I highly doubt that.
Honestly my Itto hits fairly close to that C6 Itto’s numbers at C0, Redhorn with no refinements, and triple crowned. Constellations are nice and unlock new features on characters, but with enough investment any character can hit like a truck. Obviously you’ll clear things easily with maxed out character and subpar artifacts but I find it much more satisfying to see the work of farming for a character pay off when it was your passion to improve their build allowing them to hit crazy numbers, not the fact that they’re at a higher constellation level.
Me, as a full f2p player, managed to get 36 stars in the Abyss after playing one month later the release of this game. If u want to have a look at my account just tell me, i'm one of the luckiest f2p ever 😂
honestly i think the fun of the game is grinding on those builds even though you only have four 5 star characters. any character in this game has the potential too be good if you put the effort into building them (except amber)
ikr, I love yoimiya but sadly I don’t have any primos cause I just joined Genshin, rip, I hope her and Klee get a re-re-run again. Might trade an account for them in the future
Being f2p mostly just means you struggle more to 36* (especially if you don’t build your characters) and have less characters to play. Tbh with enough time and just doing daily comms + events + resin you’d be able to have decently built characters and can clear all the content
I think the difference is that as an f2p you just progress more slowly when it comes to characters. By now everyone should know that 36ing abyss is pretty doable with most if not all characters. Just the non f2p players can get their hands on characters that require less equipment to do it or can gear out multiple characters at once (multiple damage characters is the current meta, so teams benefit a lot from multiple geared characters). That's my pov on that topic.
seeing that big kazuha dmg around 14:00 made me feel somethin like yk yk I love it when I see a DPS kazuha because in my opinion Kazuha is best in game. Like i’m working on triple crowning him, c6 him when i get the opportunity, and have him a DPS build.
Welkin alone almost doubles your collection of primos. And battle pass gives you a ton of resources in mora, talents, exp, etc. I’ve been doing just these two since I started some months ago and i only realized now what a difference it makes. I think the main diff is I can have more characters and build them faster- but not necessarily stronger characters.
I’m a mid spender and the low spender has more 5 stars and characters than me, I have 3 5 stars, and I’m also stuck on chamber 5 floor 1 on the chasm, and I’ve been playing for almost 2 years, it’ll be 2 in April 😭
I spend no money but yet I get a lots of 5 stars I got wander In 3 pity and 2 raider the first one at 21 and another 1 Other than that I also have raided signature weapon the EL
My rule for spending on f2p games is I can spend the cost of a switch game per year. Genshin is comparable to BotW which was 60USD, so for each year I play I am allowed to spend MAX 60USD.
8:26 "I concider whale to be C6R5" meanwhile other gacha games Dolphin: spends money like once a year Whale: buys every character they like Leviathan: Has every character bro genshin is like the most expensive gacha to get max copies of a character what universe does it need to be at that point to be called a whale
I thought I was a whale, but after watching this video I feel so much better. I don't get weapons really, I only got for the characters and once I get them I stop pulling.
As a f2p you can get 90% of the fun or meta characters if you played enough. Like I am extremely happy with my f2p account the only issue I really have would be not having enough cracked artifacts cause primos.
As a small fish I decided to save up a little money for Kokomi because she’s on the current banner and I can tell you it feels terrible losing a 50/50. I spent $20 dollars and I feel like that’s a lot for someone without a job
As a guy who plays kazuha in every single team I’m mad that the mid spender skipped kazuha both times. Like you already wasted so much money on all those weapons why not just get kazuha
i'm what ant would call a low-spender but i have the absolute worst luck when it comes to artifacts and i am also missing many (somewhat essential) characters. i put so much time and effort into this account and you have no idea how shitty it is to farm artifacts for months and months but at most get a 'decend' build. i am just suffering...
idk what chat’s talking about with the 2nd account being a whale. it’s not close to a whale at all, like... their expenses probably are micro (bp + welkin), and buying gc is rare
I get so flabbergasted when already pretty good whales say that they are going to become a whale.💀💔 Like I have been hanging off of 20 primos and quit for the past 10 months because I know it will still take forever to build-😂😭
1:17 -ish mark. "If you find enjoyment in it, and you wanna spend money on it, go for it. If you don't wanna spend money, if you don't have the funds, nothing wrong with that". I get his point.... but honestly, that should be more along the lines of: If you enjoy the game without spending money, that's fine. If you want to spend money on the game...nothing wrong with that. Spending money on the game should be the more frowned upon action..... even though it honestly shouldn't even be frowned upon really. But if you had to choose which one to say the condescending phrase: "Nothing wrong with that"... it's definitely spending money.

I always tell myself that games were created to be played! The creators wouldn't want to spend countless of money into something that's too hard, or confusing, for most people to play. All gamers have to start somewhere
GI doesn't require much skill tho, may be a good option to pass time
Genshin can be your 1st game! Most of the genshin stiff doesnt require playing with someone. You can play it however you want and that makes it fun for me. Just ignore people who might try to backseat your gameplay. Play however you like it. 💗

Here's my practical comparison between f2p and welkin only account:
F2p: 34 star spiral abyss, no hard content in overworld or domains, less variety.
Welkin only: 36 star spiral abyss. Every dies before easily, comfortable and lots of variety.
How many characters u have in f2p
@@Liz-mc3kq I've 6 five stars including Ayaka, eula, xiao, Kazuha, Jean, Qiqi. Missing some 4 stars.
Just for a correction... genesis crystal packages were reset during a previous patch. So that doesn't exclude from them past purchases.
fr i spent money before but i could buy the same package and get the bonus again xd i bought again. hopefully they keep resetting it. im not a whale tho i just spend money occasionally if i dont have primos anymore to get a character that i really want and like
Becoming a whale will truly unleash whats been hidden inside u all this long. non-whalers will look up to u, so don’t let them down.
Im a f2p and i dont look up to em at all expect the numbers they're doin
as an f2p... i look down on them tbh especially the ones that either have trash builds and are similair or less consitent then me or those that complain all the time about things being too easy

I know everyone has different meanings of what a spender is but this is how I see it-
F2P/Low Spender - never/occasionally buys welkin (5$ per month) and BP (10$) so like 20$ every new update
Dolphin/Mid Spender - buys some genesis crystals from time to time for characters, outfits, weapons etc. Always buys the welkin/bp, owns at least half of the limited 5* and above. So around 50-100$ per new update
Collector/Whale - owns every characters and weapon (at least C0R1) have some constellations for 5* but not all. Also has all BP namecards too. Primo refreshes for resin everyday. Definitely spends 300-500$> per update
Leviathan - literally pays for Genshin's rent, electricity and employees at this point
The collector/whale is just collector.
I'm a low spender then lmaoo😂😂
According to this I’m in between mid spender and whale :,0
thank you to the whales for letting us peasants live vicariously through you
Thanks to the whales who pay 300 dollars to get a character and 2000 dollars for a c6, you win 50/50 without having Piti and you even get double legendary rolls
tbh spending money in genshin to me is just a time saver, you can get super amazing artifacts and characters as an f2p, it just takes longer 🧐 awesome vid keep up the good work
5:03 I just want to know what inside the mind of this player to give Jean 'Dull Blade'. I mean I know someone who level up their Dull Blade just for the meme and give it to their traveler lol

Jean wasn't in the team, maybe they needed the weapon they usually give her for another character. For how Antony reacted he didn't take the time to check the characters before bringing them in the abyss.
@@biazacha Well, he tried to build Kokomi as a dps, diluc with full def% for tanking (while he has c1 zhongli) and mains electro traveler.

even though spending money is an easy way to just be able to power through lots of fights, spending no money just makes the game a little more fun.

Hello there! :D I wish you all good day
Honestly any acc (f2p or not) is able to 36 star abyss depending on the enemies there. I am a f2p and I 36 starred abyss before but only once since the enemies weren’t that hard for my characters to kill :D
Bro you’re scary. I’m f2p . HOW
@@chaeripie888 haha it’s simple, just invest into your dps like triple crowning them and also I don’t use supports so I try to get most of my dmg from all characters and not just one. You also need to hope for the abyss monsters to not have resistance to your dps :v
@@rosalineyy i have triple crowned kazuha and cant clear floor 12 😭
I am a f2p who got a C1 Yoimiya in 1 ten pull so i can confirm luck exists never give up pulling, boy i boy i boy I know u got the pulls
so f2p are fish?
Haha, yes 😂
guppies
Tuonto infected him I swear 😂
“I pull for characters I like.” A clip of Qiqi comes up. “Hello Ant.”
The absolute mild spender shock ant had while playing the whale acc😭😭
"it is- literally just kazuha" yes. as a kazuha main, yes. considering the low ish cd on that kazuha, id be terrified of him with 200 cd. my kazuha with his dps gear hits scarily high enough numbers at c2 mist (and iffy artifacts, but 2.2k atk 57-216 so its not horrible but id like more cr.) id be terrified of that kind of ratio at c6..
also in agreement that, it does not matter. i have 2 f2p alt accounts and both can 36 star abyss. my main account where i do spend also can. with enough investment, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Whenever I hear the term whale I think of whales 🐳 seriously thought you turned into a whale dude
😭😭
OH-
legit tearing up at c6 kazuha, one day i'll get there too i swear 😭😭 first character i've ever pulled for, saved up for his rerun and managed c2, he will always be my priority, one day in the far future i'll see the c6 too

@@pockychu887 how many times did you wish?
A person joined my world while I was matching once and I looked at their profile later on because I noticed the high amounts of damage and that they were ar 60, and each of the slots on their profile were filled with 5 star, r5, and c6 characters, and I don't think there were any standard characters on their profile
This video made me realize how unlucky I am in Genshin, spent quite a lot while not going for any constellations but I'm still missing plenty of 5 stars why 😃
Depends on how you spent it. I've been paying for the $5 monthly thing since the beginning, so I'll be at $120 spent for 72k primogems when we get to the 2nd anniversary. Buying straight up that same money would only get you like 15k primos.
I’ve spent a lot of money (roughly 300 bucks) and have been insanely lucky. (Pulling 2 5 stars in a single ten pull twice.) My luck has gone in the wishing system and nothing in artifacts ;w;
As a new player. It is worth? Got cyno and raiden ?
Genshin is pretty wild for "buying" a limited character, it costs $300 to guarantee 100% chance from 0 pity.
My ftp friend is missing only 4ish characters, one is Kokomi which she is getting in 3.0, this girl can farm 5k primos in like 8 hours lol, a ftp can be just as good as a whale, just it takes more effort
It's truly interesting to see what life is like as a low-spender/f2p, mid-spender/dolphin, and a whale.
The power of artifacts is cracked in this game which have substantially more impact than most constellations in the long term.
Ngl guys he still looks human
I was on the whale side of things my first year. (Collecting al 5*, getting three at C6). Funny side effect is now I have no reason to pull on anything. I can complete all content, I have a variety of teams to build, and now I'm spending nothing.
Started a FTP account to see how it felt, and actually enjoyed the game more since I have to think about resource management, team comp, combat is harder. I don't necessarily regret the money I spent because I could afford it, but if I could go back in time I'd probably just be a Welkin player.
Even though i don't play genshin impact and don't understand anything,It's nice to see Ant enjoy playing this game ^_^
I spent about 3-4k and don't have as many c6 units as the whale in video by far. Therefore $2000+ is set a little bit low, more likely $8000+. Did the whale himself claim that he spent about 2k? I highly doubt that.
The subtitle said 2000+ so I’m pretty sure this is just his opinion on the boundaries of what makes a whale
@@Deme_Diora666 Fair enough. But I wouldn't create the impression that you can achieve an account like shown in the video with anywhere near 2k.
Ant: I'm a whale
The whole genshin community:😐😑😐 we been knew ant.
Honestly my Itto hits fairly close to that C6 Itto’s numbers at C0, Redhorn with no refinements, and triple crowned. Constellations are nice and unlock new features on characters, but with enough investment any character can hit like a truck. Obviously you’ll clear things easily with maxed out character and subpar artifacts but I find it much more satisfying to see the work of farming for a character pay off when it was your passion to improve their build allowing them to hit crazy numbers, not the fact that they’re at a higher constellation level.

"If you don't want to spend money no one is forcing you"
I want to spend money but people are forcing me to not do it
3:03 as an f2p player I can say that for some reason we have way to much Mora
From what I've experienced in gacha games a dolphin starts at $500, everything before that is a fish lol
Alternative title : doing what I normally do
@koime get some help
honestly i think the fun of the game is grinding on those builds even though you only have four 5 star characters. any character in this game has the potential too be good if you put the effort into building them (except amber)
"Yoimiya was an accident"... This hurt my soul, especially after losing 50/50 💔
ikr, I love yoimiya but sadly I don’t have any primos cause I just joined Genshin, rip, I hope her and Klee get a re-re-run again. Might trade an account for them in the future
Being f2p mostly just means you struggle more to 36* (especially if you don’t build your characters) and have less characters to play. Tbh with enough time and just doing daily comms + events + resin you’d be able to have decently built characters and can clear all the content
I think the difference is that as an f2p you just progress more slowly when it comes to characters. By now everyone should know that 36ing abyss is pretty doable with most if not all characters. Just the non f2p players can get their hands on characters that require less equipment to do it or can gear out multiple characters at once (multiple damage characters is the current meta, so teams benefit a lot from multiple geared characters). That's my pov on that topic.
one day i'd like to play a huge whale account just to feel immortal, damn
seeing that big kazuha dmg around 14:00 made me feel somethin like yk yk I love it when I see a DPS kazuha because in my opinion Kazuha is best in game. Like i’m working on triple crowning him, c6 him when i get the opportunity, and have him a DPS build.
As a Klee main player, I only need her and Zhongli most of the time. Love his reaction to Klee
Rich people money brings happiness
Me getting excited after losing the 50/50 to qiqi without spending any money
Welkin alone almost doubles your collection of primos. And battle pass gives you a ton of resources in mora, talents, exp, etc.
I’ve been doing just these two since I started some months ago and i only realized now what a difference it makes. I think the main diff is I can have more characters and build them faster- but not necessarily stronger characters.
As an f2p player myself am really amazed at the time spent on everything
People dont call me a Mega-Whale.. They call me the whole Ocean 👍
when he talked about fragile resin it hurt me to remember the time, I accidentally converted mine into 1200 resin 😭
The only thing I learned was how good your skills are at Genshin
I love how he’s complaining about his ping, while I picked the wrong server and sits at a solid 300 ping on a good day 😅
I’m a mid spender and the low spender has more 5 stars and characters than me, I have 3 5 stars, and I’m also stuck on chamber 5 floor 1 on the chasm, and I’ve been playing for almost 2 years, it’ll be 2 in April 😭
What characters do you have?
chasm? you mean abyss?
That explains a lot
I spend no money but yet I get a lots of 5 stars
I got wander In 3 pity and 2 raider the first one at 21 and another 1
Other than that I also have raided signature weapon the EL
My rule for spending on f2p games is I can spend the cost of a switch game per year. Genshin is comparable to BotW which was 60USD, so for each year I play I am allowed to spend MAX 60USD.
deathmatch..? hmmm
8:26 "I concider whale to be C6R5"
meanwhile other gacha games
Dolphin: spends money like once a year
Whale: buys every character they like
Leviathan: Has every character
bro genshin is like the most expensive gacha to get max copies of a character what universe does it need to be at that point to be called a whale
I thought I was a whale, but after watching this video I feel so much better. I don't get weapons really, I only got for the characters and once I get them I stop pulling.
As a f2p you can get 90% of the fun or meta characters if you played enough. Like I am extremely happy with my f2p account the only issue I really have would be not having enough cracked artifacts cause primos.
What an inspiraation , letting us players witness this..especially f2p
I like how I was watching squid videos and deep sea creature videos and this came up “I became a whale”
If people call people who spend a lot of money on the game a whale.

Low spenders are sometimes called goldfish, so F2P can be called roes (fish eggs).

The face he made when he missed 🤣
no because its so funny hearing complaints about 120 ping when i only rarely get
DPS Kazuha rights!!
I see so many people mock Kazuha builds with low EM, it's nice to see a good build outside the usual meta
It’s because DPS kazuha is only optimal on c6 not c0.
As a guy who plays kazuha in every single team I’m mad that the mid spender skipped kazuha both times. Like you already wasted so much money on all those weapons why not just get kazuha
i'm what ant would call a low-spender but i have the absolute worst luck when it comes to artifacts and i am also missing many (somewhat essential) characters. i put so much time and effort into this account and you have no idea how shitty it is to farm artifacts for months and months but at most get a 'decend' build. i am just suffering...
idk what chat’s talking about with the 2nd account being a whale. it’s not close to a whale at all, like... their expenses probably are micro (bp + welkin), and buying gc is rare
I get so flabbergasted when already pretty good whales say that they are going to become a whale.💀💔

I get his point.... but honestly, that should be more along the lines of: If you enjoy the game without spending money, that's fine. If you want to spend money on the game...nothing wrong with that.
Spending money on the game should be the more frowned upon action..... even though it honestly shouldn't even be frowned upon really. But if you had to choose which one to say the condescending phrase: "Nothing wrong with that"... it's definitely spending money.
