It's always fun to see other people's "regret" lists because, being an F2P player myself, I'll inhale absurd amounts of copium before I utter the words "I regret this character"
I’m an honorary f2p (2 wekins and 1 bp for 2 years of playing) and I’ve reached a point where I have enough characters that I can’t cope some newer units I saved for because they stop bringing value to my account
I'm also f2p but i have one regret, itto. I can't farm him as of now, i don't like his design that much, and i didn't even wanted him when i pulled for him, i literally just pulled cause i liked getting characters but i didn't want him (i was dumb, ik) i'll probably use him more someday though, he is my only five star rn (i'm saving up wisely) and i do like him a bit more now...
Best feeling is pulling for a character and kinda feeling like it was a mistake, forgetting about them for a while, and then randomly discovering how fun they are for certain tasks!
Finally someone else who doesnt hate ayaka sprint. Its good for exploration and can even make her walk on water forever. Not only that but it also gives her the same speed as tall male characters which are the fastest. Plus its still good in combat you just need to get used to it..
I can understand why people wouldn’t like Ayaka for her sprint since before they fixed the dash for her and Mona, getting stuck at the small edges was really annoying and I’m a Ayaka main. 😂
I love the sprint, the fact that it can give her cryo infusion in battle is so good and if you can manage correctly, it will not deplete her stamina much while fighting. I started playing during Kazuha release which was right before Ayaka, so she was my first proper dps character, and I still main her. Though I can understand if people don't like it, but I personally do.
Same, i avoided too much building pity in banners with 5* i don't want, so i don't regret any of my characters, just cyno probably, and still i'm happy to have him in my account
I mean like overall cyno is not rlly a bad character overall...like there are better options for everything cyno does and his playstyle is not that fun but overall...not a bad character
@@chaitalibakshi9862 it's all dawn to comparison, Cyno get outdpsed by keqing, just because he cant maintain 100% uptime of anemo buffs and oz and on top of that w\o interruption resistance NA spaming driver/carry just feels bad. I personally skipped cyno, but got planty of time to play him on my friend cyno simp acc (c2r1 cyno with 32 rolls set), and... he just was worse than my c0 keqing even after i mastered his TF rotation. hech with 100% oz uptime and kazuha buff uptime, even c6 dori could compete with cyno aggravate team dps.
Yeps, Cyno is underrated character because he is not good with quickswap team (didn't stop me from using him in a quickswap playstyle with Yelan tho lmaoo)
Only character I regret is klee, she's still level 50 and I was already a yanfei main before pulling her. One character I started to regret was Cyno, but now the only thing I regret doing is not getting his weapon, I love him soooo much
I've started prioritising characters I like the playstyle of over meta characters. I don't really regret building big dps numbers but I really enjoy quickstyle swap reaction combos. My fav team rn is ayato tighnari fischl and kokomi :)
Me with my ayato kokomi nahida raiden team, i have all the big dps ones (morgana, national, hu tao vape) but I still choose the ones I love to play more and still 36* spiral abyss 🤔
@@joenkotazuna9453 a electro/hydro/dendro core honestly works with whoever you place, ayato & tighnari work especially well because unlike other hydros ayato can apply hydro off field while also filling tighnari's downtime.
Albedo… he is the only character I regret pulling. Just because of his limited bis sword that I didn’t even have a chance to get. The damage difference between HoD and cinnabar sword is so huge. I mean, having a character and knowing you will never get his full potential is heartbreaking. When they put cinnabar sword in Albedo’s trial I thought they will make a way to get old event weapons, but it was just a copium 🥺
This!!! This makes me so sad. I believe he and Klee are the only 5 star characters without their own 5 star signature weapons. I guess you can count lost prayers and summit shaper but neither of those are optimal for the characters themselves.
@@mars9986They really feel like standard 5* characters honestly… And I highly doubt the developers will ever make a 5 star sword for Albedo, just because the Cinnabar Spindle is an incredibly strong weapon for him. But even if they do make a 5 star sword for him, its value to the account will be very low (if they put defense as the main characteristic). Plus, you'd have to spend 70 wishes, if not 210, just to have your Albedo deal damage as the Albedo of the old players who managed to get the Cinnabar Spindle. Sad
@@QuinquetPourpre what a shame they can’t do a shop or something where you can buy old weapons. I mean there are a lot of event weapons that are just ok at the most. You can use them if you want, but they’re rarely the best in slot. But in Albedo’s situation there are just no alternatives except HoD. You can get the Catch, even though it’s an event weapon, so what’s the problem? Even if the cost of Cinnabar Spindle is star glitter, it’s still better then having no chance to get it at all.
i only pull when i like the character, so it saves me from having this list. the only limited character who sort of falls in this list is klee, who i got from a guarantee at 1.0 because i didn't know how the pity system works. still, i think she's really fun to play. i actually only built her a year after i got her. i bring her to abyss every now and then to challenge myself
Same, I have only 8 limited 5* characters (I've been playing since launch) and I don't ever regret pulling because I only do it for the ones I really love, most of the characters are easy skips for me
@@leozyxs i have 7 limited 5* and playing since launch. all except klee are 3x crowned (alhaitham will soon join the party). my never winning 50/50s and choice of pulling kinda go hand-in-hand lol
Imagine if MYH gave us balance patches to fix the messes they keep releasing in clearly unfinished states. I.e Klee or Dori. Would be great to see them on the saem level as other characters.
Nah they'll just release new 4*s that "buff" them but only after hundreds of dollars to get C6. Their idea of an F2P buff is a new barely better artifact set that takes several patches to farm! They're so greedy it's unbelievable. They shouldn't need direct monetary incentive to buff old units
ngl, I almost got Haran for Ayaka because I found her dashing + NA + CA way more fun than her burst and I hated using her burst, especially when it missed.
@@lstsoul4376 i did this exact thing with kazuha/sucrose AND I still missed! i don't know, her burst is just kinda hard to control (+ I suck at playing her) and the enemies can still get out of the burst area so...
The second reason to not like Xiao is kind of a skill issue tbh, but I understand that. Not everyone wants to plan where to push enemies and obviously everyone has their preferences. I mean my favorite character to play is Diluc lmao he's not everyone's cup of tea
My only issue with Diluc was that when I finally got him, I already had a maxed out C1 Hu Tao with 4pc Shimenawa. Him being mediocre compared to his competitors, plus CW isn't exactly the most appealing domain do not help. But now that I've got C1 Batman, I suppose I can try him out 2pc/2pc atk%
@@Nyangorou1 You don't even really need to farm for Crimson Witch anymore. Just farm for a different character, then any trash you get, dump it into the Crimson Witch Strongbox.
Always very happy to enjoy the evening with your uploads. Highly agree with Dori too, I actually had a pretty good anticipation that it might be a good alternative to Kuki (I didn't have her at that time) and ended up into a pretty strong disappointment. As much as I don't personally enjoy claymore users, having Dori was pretty bad for me :'))
I regretted pulling Miko in her first banner. But dendro made her a bit better but the energy cost sucks especially since her skill doesn’t give her energy.
I kind of regretted Ayaka for a while, I pulled her bc I needed a strong Cryo, but I ended up using Kokomi and Venti way more and with Dendro Cryo is even less important, but tbh her skin has made up for it, now I'm trying out some stuff with Layla. The only character I kind of regret is Hu Tao, I should have skipped because I had no clue Eula, one of my favourite chracters, was rerunning next, but I feel like I wouildn't have regretted her as much in a different circumstance. With Mika around the corner Eula is gonna get a rerun for sure (like I really hope so it's been a long while), so at least it will be over. I kind of disagree with Eula being formulaic, I don't enjoy Itto in the trials but for Eula from what i know there are different ways to play around your burst, you can swap and release it earlier if you feel like the rotation is getting longer and you don't need as many damage, in trials I've done I hate Itto but I enjoy Eula much more (I even prefer Noelle to Itto playstyle wise Itto just has the worst playstyle for my preferences even if I love his character, I would really have regretted pulling him if I ever did). Eula rerun wen
I have prepared SO MUCH for Eula. She will have a Mika, a Raiden, and a c6 Rosaria, and a WGS, and a couple of my best artifacts on set. I’m so sad I couldn’t get her last time… I lost to Mona at 83… And hey! We have the same opinion on Noelle! Cursed though that Gorou is always running w Itto. I feel like I’ll never get c6 Gorou at this rate..:
im so happy mika is coming to genshin because eula was left in the dust as other dps units got more and more utility. its sad the last ever eula buff we got was raiden shogun and since then it was just a downhill, i am for sure pulling her if she comes back in 3.5
@@alguien908 I already *have* Itto (a 20 pity accident when I was going for Gorou cons). My Gorou is only c1. I need MORE but I don’t want Itto cons… he’s a waste of a 5star as it is on my account
Quickswap Eula is so much fun but the problem is the team comp. Raiden and Rosaria are perfect for this kind of team, but there isn't a 4th unit that comes anywhere close to those two, so you might as well do hyperbloom instead. Mika doesn't work with this team comp right now but maybe that will change in beta. He's basically a Bennett side-grade (at C6 yikes) for the typical hypercarry Eula team, which isn't as good as hyperbloom with Eula in there for fun.
I don't think I'll ever regret pulling for a character because the only characters I really pull for are ones that I kinda want regardless of how much I think I'd play them. I got Nahida because she's adorable (knowing I'd barely play her), I got Wanderer because I like his character arc and his voice lines sometimes make me laugh ("quit following me!"), and I got Xiao recently because the chasm archon quest made me emotionally invested in him and he has my favorite character design in the game, but I honestly didn't think I'd play him much! his gameplay took some getting used to but now I find myself crashing random hilichurl camps for no reason just to play him for a liiiiiittle longer every day lol (my ability to build characters is, frankly, embarrassing so spiral abyss is out of the question). I also only pulled for Layla because she's starry and pretty, and I plan to pull for Mika just because I think he's the cutest thing. my account is basically just a gallery of characters I like looking at lol
The only character I "regret" pulling is Ganyu in 2.4, not because she's bad or I don't like her, but because I realise that her synergy with the characters I had at the time is not so great. The only Ganyu team I could play was Melt with Bennet, Xiangling, and Diona, and this wasn't so great when I needed Bennet and Xiangling in the other half of the Abyss. I think it would've been better to pull for Zhongli at the time.
Yea this is my consideration when pulling for characters, whether they synergize well with my existing characters or not. Like for example my 2nd account have Ganyu, Mona, and Childe; in which I wanted to make a Morgana and (Inter)national team. Considering this, even a highly valued 5*s like Raiden and Yelan would bring little value to this account which is why I skipped them and waited for Kazuha instead (bcs I lost 50/50 during Venti rerun)
i have different problem i pull for both in 2.3 but now i regret pulling for zhongli because he to op broken and ganyu is flexible can be dps and support , ganyu and ayato is fun combo
Cyno being the most regretable character from the community hurts me as a Cyno main. Did they not use him with nahida? He is insanely strong in quickbloom, he is meta in CN server too.
The problem is.. They are so blinded that they deny he's actually strong They made me question my sanity, like the dude is fine I can't literary get the hate
For me it’s the fact that he’s so energy dependent. Like I have Cyno and AlHaitham, who both use arguably similar teams, but I’d rather use alhaitham because his elemental infusion isn’t tied to permanently active burst up. I just hate the feeling of running around waiting to have burst up to do anything. Could be my skill issue, but it really makes me want to play other characters instead. That’s the biggest reason for me because I keep switching between characters like Ayato wanderer and alhaitham all the time. I love my husbandos 😅
I mean Nahida wasn't out when he released and it's not like Nahida is particularly good or fun with him anyway against anything but bosses because his burst lasts so long and doesn't let you switch so you can't mark any new enemies with her. His anti-synergy with Nahida is one of his biggest issues and one of the main things that they'll hopefully fix
I'm suffering through using Dori because I've never picked up a Shinobu. But trust, the second she appears on a banner next, I am wishing a million times, haha.
If there's one character I regret getting it would be Nilou on my old account.I don't hate Nilou at all but I do wish I pulled for Albedo on his banner instead since I mained Klee on that account and and thought it would be wholesome for klee to have her brother with her.
I don't have regrets because I'm the type of person who only pulls for a character if I like them. Really saves me the trouble of having a list of characters I regret pulling for.
Samee, I tried my best to pull a character only after the reviews are in and deciding that their gameplay is compatible with me. I mean-- as an f2p, you can't afford regretting a character X'D
:0 The first person who also kinda regretted pulling for Ayaka!! I don't particularly know why I regret pulling for her, I just find her to be a bit annoying. Not sure if it's personality-wise or playstyle-wise. She just gave me the same ick that Itto did.
Def her personality, to me shes the worst character (personality-wise) in the whole game, shes just so lame, boring and plain that i find her extremely annoying
So about Dori, her electro self-infusion is quite meaningful for kazuha/sayu's swirl in teams where Nahida yeet away all the electro w/ her dendro app. She's definitely useful in Yae/Kazuha/Nahida team to battery Yae without sacrificing survivability and whatnot.
dori and alhaitham is very good combo. dori can heal, trigger seeds and apply electro for spread. plus, she regens alhaitham burst while he doing his things and doesn fight him for em sword like kuki
2 года назад+1
Dori is bad, she have no weapon 5* decent for her kit! Alhaitham is very good the most broken, learning at how he does, he is busted!
@@Kam1_9 probably because albedo while a good character can be replaced in many teams he fits in (beside mono geo), same thing with zhongli. As much as his shield is busted he doesn’t grant you that much more damage beside decreasing elemental resistance of enemies, he’s mainly a comfort pick and not a big damage pick.
I don't know if we have the same reason but I also benched my Zhongli. Zhongli is indeed a comfort in life but at some point I couldn't make a team without Zhongli in it. I have a Bennett but not getting interrupted during your attacks was such a great feature that zhongli does. I decided to bench him cause it felt like I was relying too much on that comfort. After I did that, it opened my teams to a lot more characters. The problem now though is, if before I can't make a team without Zhongli, now I can't put Zhongli on a team. One thing I realized once I dropped Zhongli is I like reactions more than a standard DPS doing most of the work.
@@Kam1_9 I mainly play teams with a lot of reactions and geo just doesnt fit there and I just prefer Healers over shielders. Like sure, Zhongli can give some res sredd, but Kokomi can provide way more than enough healing while also being able to apply a lot of hydro and be played on field without needing a seperate build
Ganyu. The idea that I have to play around her charged attack feels so tedious. And this says a lot when I main klee, but at least you can aid her "clunkiness" with cancels and positioning. Also, Eula just because physical feels like a fossil of a concept.
Guide videos often say that Albedo can fit into any team if you don’t know who the last member should be. For me, he almost only exist in mono geo. Outside of mono geo, he’s mainly there to take the spotlight from the main dps. He can also buff EM but I’d rather use Sucrose for that, who I don’t even touch nowadays
5:37 Acording to theory crafters Yanfei is INDEED stronger than Klee ! Although she's only about a 5% DPS increase , Yanfei is so much smoother to play than Klee , and thanks to being a 4 star you can get her cons way more easily , her C4 even allowing her to become a pretty good shielder
To everyone that really regrets a character, I hope one day a character you really like comes along and the character you regret ends up filling a perfect spot on a team with that character. The game is not complete yet!
I love hypercarries like Itto, Eula, Xiao, etc. But my only regret is Wanderer. I wish his blue stamina would deplete much slower when you dash or elevates. Also his damage is so underwhelming without C6 faruzan or C4 jean.
I got Yae originally because my best friend got her,ended up loving her completely,kokomi came out of nowhere and now she's in any team i make,cyno same,both him and kokomi came at super low pity and won the 50/50's,cyno was bound to stay low invested but then i got his polearm and he is just so strong,and like 3 days ago alhaitam came out of my wish number 20 and well,happy Regret having diluc c1 and building him tho
Eula is the only character I regret pulling. At the time Raiden was my only 5* limited character and I needed anything I could use to help me with the abyss. People said she's good with Raiden so I went for it. In the end I found her gameplay and aesthetic too boring so I almost never used her...
Ayaka is honestly one of the few characters I’m just not interested in getting at all. Probably one of the last characters I’ll ever get whenever I do get around to pulling for her
I also used to regret "pulling" for Ayaka, but it's a different story. My account got hacked during the extended period of Ayaka's rerun back in 2.6 all the way to mid 2.7, and my hacker got her alongside c1 Diluc. After I got my account back, I used to always look at her with anger because she basically stole my savings for Baizhu. I would throw her off the sky nail on dragonspine a few times, let her succumb to the cold climate, let her burn next to the fire flower, etc. But after 2 weeks living in denial, I started to think that I should've been mad at the hacker and not the character, and hey I basically completed the Yashiro commision comp because I also happen to have Ayato and Thoma. Gradually, I started to warm up to her, and after another few days I've finally convinced myself to properly build her. Now I'm a proud Kamisato siblings haver, and using them both in the same team is one of the best things I've ever done.
@@lstsoul4376 just your usual google account data breach (I didn't have any hyv account linked to my genshin profile back then) and I was stupid enough not to change my account passwords immediately lol, it's fault at my part
I don't really regret pulling any character, the closest I can think is Childe and it's not cause I hate his kit, no I like it, it's just that I have too many build projects going on right now that he keeps getting pushed down the list to get finished, collecting dust and I kinda regret getting him to not use for lord knows how long.
I don't regret having someone particularly. I only pull who I want. The only regret is have to skip rerun whoever I wanted for the new/next character I also want.
Nilou... At first. Bloom was a new reaction at the time, and I just wasn't used to getting a delayed dmg. Used to be, when I click... something dies, or gets damaged. It's almost tactile. With Nilou, you just had to let her 3x E out and wait for your dendro teammates to create reactions and your driver to create more. It's not the most engaging. Then Nahida came out, and I still built my Nilou, because I wasn't satisfied. Now, at 57khp, and EM focus besides, she's always been in my abyss team since getting her built. Same with my Itto, I just built him and now, there's no regrets. Turns out, you just gotta build them, and because of the unlocked potential, (and the time investment you put in) you WILL love them. Lol. because that build? That's your baby.
@@abtask that's great. I do have a barbara built, because I farmed the crap out of Itto's domain and had a lot of clam set lying around, lol. But I might have to check out Yao Yao too, if anything, just to have a frame of reference, for comparison. Or just to change up the dynamic of my Nilou teams. Thx for the tip.
I've used to regret my Xiao, but recently i got a Jape spear from the standard banner and the release of Faruzan too made him more interesting to use again
For people who are bored of Xiao/hate the knockback/want to use his normal attacks: Let me introduce you to XiaoLad The team is: Xiao, Xingqiu, Dendro MC/Nahida, and Fischl Put Xiao on VV full EM (just steal your best VV set) and Favonius Polarm, Put Xingqiu on Emblem, Dendro on deep wood, Fischl on Thundering Fury Xingqiu burst, E, E, Dendro MC burst, E, Fischl burst, Xiao burst, normal attacks and skill spam. Stay near OZ. It's a hyperbloom team where you use electro swirled to activate hyperbloom Curtesy of Zajef77 (my favorite theory crafter because he doesn't stick to what he's "supposed" to do and uses just about everyone)
I think I have "summoner's remorse" because a lot of characters are left unused until some rare event when I decide to pull them out. I've even stopped trying to build everyone because so many just end up collecting dust...that and artifacts can burn. Honestly, I feel bad about it too.
It hits different when you try to build supports around the character that you pull rather than pulling for characters hoping they would work with typical supports like Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu,...
Mona-Ayaka dash is best for dodging. It consumes less stamina and you can do it multiple times. You can just slams the button multiple times and even you can dodge the raiden shogun attacks
Even when Albeto was the worst. Mine was CRACKED. I don't even need to refarm for the new set (although I am trying, but I really don't want to farm for another year again, plus I have other characters to raise) Then his new sword put him as my best character.
The one character that I regret spending time and resources on is, weirdly enough, Ayato. I mained him for a bit but the second I got him friendship Level 10, I never touched him again. Even a benched character like Itto I’ll play with every now and then, but never Ayato. His play of just standing there holding his attack just got real stale real fast. I could never really find a way to make him fun for me. But other than that, absolutely no regrets with anyone else.
No regrets for any characters tbh because I have a rotating main team so I always use different characters to keep things free. The closest thing I have to a regret is tartaglia since I got him while trying to get rosaria but I still use him occasionally especially when up against mobs.
Lol I didn't like his playstyle when I tested him so didn't want him and I got him going for Rosaria. That's when I learned how dangerous chasing a 4* can be and how it can be tougher than getting a 5*. Took a break from the game but since being back I do want to eventually build him and give him a serious try.
Well. Im very picky when it comes to pulling new characters. I think the only character i regret pulling is Childe (mr cooldown). But to be fair i never really wanted him, just wanted to try the act of "pulling". Also Albedo, but again, i pulled for Bennett Sucrose and Fischl. So Albedo was an acceptable collateral damage:)
i regret doing a 10-pull when approaching pity on raidens banner lmao… i accidentally got one raiden at 80 pity and her c1 in one multi and I regret not doing singles because I could’ve gotten alhaitham…
Characters I regret.. Itto (I thought he was fun but never built him and im not the biggest fan of geo, and honestly I just wanted to be taller than my friend in-game who also got him), Xiao (never built him and dont use him), Ganyu (same reason). Now I would say Tighnari, Mona, Keqing, Diluc and Jean but technically most of those were 50/50s so I cant regret them. I also kind of regret Albedo, tho he does have a build (despite his low crit rate). And finally, I regret getting Wanderer. I loved his story, personality and design so much I just had to get him only to discover I dont really like his gameplay, especially since if you don't have a shield combat in air can be difficult, and I have Sucrose. Yes I made Sucrose a DPS because shes my favorite along with Wanderer (lore wise ofc) and I love her gameplay.
I definitely regret Eula and going for her c1 and signature weapon, and I regret pulling Childe though it was mostly for a joke anyways. The boy stays at level 69 until the kills enough stuff to level up.
Totally unrelated, but I have never realized that you can break that wall at 8:39, I always crawled through the small cracks when farming those guys :D
Ayaka is my biggest regret. She’s just boring. I also kinda regret Zhongli tbh. Pulling Zhongli is like smoking for the first time. Now I’m addicted to him.
You mean her character or her play style? I find the latter fine, but she feels like an overly generic traditional housewife waifu. Her visual design is good though.
I don't really have any pull regrets. And I'm like one of the ten remaining cyno main out there. But if I have to choose, probably scara. I dunno, it just feels really awkward when he gets hit by enemies while in the air and then he falls and then he gets up. Also his charged atk is just really weird, I sometimes can't charged atk on my phone. I like his backstory and he's cute but still don't even really like him that much since I just see him as unlikable little gremlin. And I think his biggest downfall is Faruzan. Wow bro, can't wait to build my c0 faruzan that I got after scara's banner with 300+% er and still doesn't get her burst back in time. It's just harder to build around your support instead of your hyper carry.
If you have a well-built Yunjin, Faruzan is ironically not super needed imo. For overall higher anemo dmg she is but since he's a normal-attacks-kind-of-character it's actually really good. And I don't know, you'd usually run him with a shielder anyway tbh, so I wouldn't say it's THAT much of an issue. Even Thoma is a good option. (especially at c6). If you still don't like him that's okay^_^ but just in case you still want to give him a shot you can try those tips.
@@zy0xdespairgeclips thanks for your recomendation. I have built Yunjin, I'll try it later and see if it helps scara. I just got Faruzan from the current weapon banner, I tried using her and I just got stressfull recharging her burst. I used zhongli or thoma with him sometimes but idk if it's a skillissue thing, I still got yeeted quite often🥲 I do like that he's a hypercarry that doesn't rely on burst tho. I like cyno, itto, and xiao's gameplay but I just can't put them in my exploration team anymore
@@cocoroach_ok Yes, Wanderer isn't top tier but I do think he can be pretty good with the right team comp. He's also not for everyone so don't feel bad about it, I think that the best thing about him is how good he feels in overworld even though his damage isn't super amazing.
DEFINITELY CYNO BECAUSE TELL ME WHY IM USING HIS BEST TEAM AND ITS WORSE THAN JUST SLOTTING IN RAIDEN IN HIS BEST TEAM INSTEAD OF HIM HES AWFUL( I regret Cyno maybe xiao I love him too much though)
i don't regret getting dcaramouche even though he's benched and unbuilt. he helps me with exploration and getting to areas i couldnt have got to before (because no kazuha or venti)
Agree about ayaka burst. Have you seen it in beta? It looked like she released an invisible shadow clone who went on a rampage with its blade, no clue why they changed that.
for me it's definitely hutao and to a lesser extent childe and raiden. Hutao got replaced almost immediately for a multitude of reasons, childe and raiden slowly drifted into the background because I would rather play other teams. I've been playing since release and it's getting increasingly harder to justify getting new characters because I don't wanna stop using my old characters that I *still* like a lot. edit because of comments: Hutao (C0 with deathmatch) mostly got replaced by childe + xiangling vape and ganyu + venti centric teams. Both of them cleared 1.x content as fast or faster while being a lot more fun to play. At the same time these teams were also way less invested than my hutao team, which are the main reasons just stopped using her. By the time inazuma came and more single target/melee cleave oriented abyss chambers got released I tried using her again, but by then the difference was even bigger because I didn't keep investing more into her due to focusing on other new teams. And now I am at an investment level with the characters I actually use that it really doesn't matter much what team I play. Right now I mostly play yae + tighnari in aggravate, nilou bloom, itto geo (finally got c6 gorou) and mono anemo quickswap and occasionally whip out raiden and childes teams. All of those are more enjoyable than hutao ever was while also clearing the current chambers quickly.
The only way Hu Tao got replaced is with a stronger Hyperbloom team with minimum investment, or simply because you don't like playing her. The only other reason is maybe you got Yoimiya who is weaker but easier to play
The only character i regret is nilou Since i wasnt going to pull for nahida, and i dont have kokomi, so trying to use nilou for me is like trying to use hutao without xingqiu
My only real objection is the Xaio choice when Xinyan exists with her bugged moves and terrible split scaling that should have been in the list. Xaio is really strong in abyss with the appropriate teammates and with C6 Faruzan, fixes nearly every major problem with him. C6 Faruzan has made it very easy with her burst to group all the enemies up whenever Xaio's plunge attack causes knockback. Also, major dps increase along with giving plenty of energy back to Xaio to the point where it's nearly a consistent rotation back into his burst with minimum ER. I can understand in terms of gameplay with Ayaka if you don't like her dash or don't build her into a freeze team. The burst can easily miss agile enemies without the freeze on them. I do hope they buff Klee with the hydro archon to make her burst become like super vape procs or something. Right now, Klee for me is really just use her E charges then switch because I do not like her autos and rarely use her burst since I feel it's underwhelming in damage and practical usage.
@@Toqrainbow Xinyan is like the worse one in the game currently. Not good at any role. Terrible shielder with split scaling stats that are inconsistent to either shielding or being a damage dealer. Surprised in the video he didn't build her up just for this list for him to regret doing so lol.
As Byron says, you are very unlikely to find someone who regrets pulling for Xinyan, because people don't pull for Xinyan. They get her when losing a "50/50" (or 75/25 in case of the weapon banner), or from the standard banner, or as a 1:3 chance when pulling on a banner for a different character on said banner. Take me, for example. I slightly regret pulling for Candace, but since I only did a single 10 pull and got her, it is just that, slight. But I don't regret pulling for Diluc, who I have at C4 and I have not used a single time on this account. The reason why is simple. I never pulled for Diluc. He just happens when I'm pulling for other things or using standard wishes. That said, while Xinyan does have the worst designed kit in the game, one that pulls her in opposite directions in various things, she's a decent enough four star if you give her a Redhorn Stonethresher (and you have her at C6). And yeah, you shouldn't have to give a character a five star weapon for them to be viable. What it goes to show, though, is that Xinyan could be made playable enough if Hoyoverse just added a four star claymore that, say, gave a Yun Jin style, def-based bonus to physical damage (so it'd help her normals, charged, plunge, and burst). Permanent addition, of course, say a crafted weapon made available through a Xinyan story quest. Of course, knowing Hoyoverse, if they added such a weapon, they'd make it an event one, thereby screwing over anyone who starts after the event ;) Anyway, since I got mine a Redhorn, I quite enjoy using her. Been thinking about crowning her normal attack even. And she is actually quite handy for certain domains. Specifically, a few of the cryo ones. Being pyro, she can help break the shields (Though needing 2 enemies for the E to get a DoT is yet another issue), and her shield is handy for taking the edge of the hard hits or the annoying falling icicles.
Yeah. It's hard to really get what you want when it's all mostly through chance. I guess I should have noted that regret should have been based on actually trying to get them rather than performance.
I do not regret pulling her, but Nilou is the 5* I use the least This is not because she's bad, she's the best at what she does, its just rn it feels like her team isn't complete yet I got Nahida and hoping to get Yaoyao too, but it still feels like a future character is gonna complete her best team and idk how long that'll take
I think Nahida and Kokomi alone are already the premium version of Nilou's teammates, and you even slot anyone into the last slot (Hydro or Dendro ofc), but I know how you feel, it fells something is still missing. There's no shielder and grouper, though at least Yelan's E can group small enemies and Xingqiu's Rainswords has dmg reduction
She does pretty much exactly one thing (Extreme AoE damage) and that's kind of it really. I have her double crowned but rarely use her since her kit is so niche that you'd only ever want to use her once in a blue moon.
While I enjoy playing Cyno, I kinda regret getting him because I feel like I will end up replacing his team in abyss and that his actually strong team is one I don't like
I have C6 Klee. If there is any regrets, it's that Mihoyo made her relatively weak and refuses to at least make her burst stay active while she switches out.
I regret pulling Yae Miko, I had her BiS. I simped for her the moment I saw her but after I got her something about her feels off. I tried to make her work, put Fischl on her, do Aggravate, do Benny, do Hyperbloom. I still feel unsatisfied. I then realized that I like being interactive in battle, that’s why I like Ningguang and Ayaka cuz I need to keep clicking buttons. Though you could do NA Yae Miko, Ningguang’s NA is still more fun and has gimmicks to it. On the side note, I also feel the same way with Venti. I kinda regret him cuz I cant make him work on chonky enemies but the moment you need him, he feels worth every hours of my chest hunting. Also, I thought I regretted pulling for Nilou but she made abyss a child’s play and her cutscene in Samsara is 🤌 lol.
Hmm... Stiiill gonna be pulling for Ayaka. Gave in using my Welkin currency for her Fontaine outfit, likewise have a soft spot for gimmicky mobility (hey, Kazoo pogo!), and here's a reason for ya: I still don't have a character who can double my weapon material synthesis. Skipped Alhaitham, but I have some catching up to do now that I've jumped up to AR56/WL7.
I treat klee as hoyo's gift to me. So she's built. But after her friendship level is maxed, i don't use her. But I'm still happy i have her. I pulled her accidentally after i got C1 kazuha i can't get a single heizou, so i pulled on Klee's banner for fun because I'm thinking maybe i might get Heizou there. And yes I got Heizou and Klee in a single 10 pull, just 10 pulls away from my kazuha. So it didn't really ruin my savings at all.
my regret is wishing on 2 main dps pyro banners: Hu tao and yoimiya. It's not that I despise them, it's just that I could have saved the primos for other main dps that arent pyro. I mostly struggle against pyro enemies bc i dont have a cryo main dps for example. I could count nilou tho but her gameplay isnt about killing pyro enemies it's about making dendro cores i just really would like someone like ayaka bc kaeya is.. meh not bad but not fun for me at least. (edit): i also have many pyro main dps that are good (yanfei, dps xiangling) so getting them wasnt really needed, i could have easily mained yanfei and i would do pretty good since she's catalyst and catalyst is the best weapon at least for me because my fav gameplay is doing elemental reactions.
Me before watching the video: yeah, yeah, gonna be another one crapping buckets at my man Wanderer... Me after watching the video: fascinating, I have nothing to disagree with.
I've always been the type of person to completely ignore meta and just get the characters I want, but for me, getting Scaramouche because I was excited over the flying thingy might have been a bit of an oversight 😅 He's amazing for exploration but that's basically all I use him for. I've also never really understood the hate (or moreso regret) for Cyno. I main both him and Xiao, and while I absolutely love the both of them, Cyno feels much more fun to play. Especially in aggravate or hyperbloom teams. In the hyperbloom comp I use Cyno, Nahida, Kuki, and Xingqiu, and it's super fun! Aggravate I just swap out Xingqiu for Tighnari for the extra dps. Also a super fun team! I feel like there's more variety with how you play with Cyno opposed to Xiao.
I think the one I regret most pulling for was Raiden. I got baited in by the hype trailer and her burst animations, but when I played her story quest, and with all the quests in inazuma in mind... my impression of her dropped to rock bottom 😭
I personally dont regret pulling any units. I want all 4 stars and i only pull 5 stars/pull on banners or 5 stars that im okay with getting, the only time i almost messed up was when i got an early 5 star on itto's first rerun but thankfully acting grandmaster jean saved the day because i personally do not like itto
While not an owner of all characters i regret pulling eula right now: , i pulled her when i was still new to the game and didn't know anything, i pulled her just because of her autos, i didn't even need to know her burst i played her in trial her autos seemed really fun and as someone that was playing physical kaeya at the time and also physical razor eula felt like a perfect fit, and my past self loved eula.... and then inazuma came out. Not only did i get ayaka, i got incredibly lucky and got c2 raiden while trying to get c4 xiangling (about 70 pulls total with carry over 50 pity from ayaka banner), but also enemies just countered her, you had enemies that would be mobile and not let you attack them like rifthounds especially electro ones (because you carried electro on you so they were always enraged), you had the rise of PMA that meant i did less physical damage and most importantly I as a player changed, i started liking different teams i started liking using taser, reverse melt, freeze, i stopped playing eula even before dendro came out, now that it's out i have even less of a reason to play her. and it makes me sad but somewhat nostalgic to think back about eula but i don't think i want to go back to her. she was a character that helped me get 681k crit in 1 single strike, and while i can't beat that right now i can see myself being able to in the future.

Lol, I caught a cold just yesterday.

It's always fun to see other people's "regret" lists because, being an F2P player myself, I'll inhale absurd amounts of copium before I utter the words "I regret this character"
my copium supply flew out the window after wanderer kept getting flung by hilichurls and then couldnt hit them because he was too high
@@TheBest_AZA Zhongli
I’m an honorary f2p (2 wekins and 1 bp for 2 years of playing) and I’ve reached a point where I have enough characters that I can’t cope some newer units I saved for because they stop bringing value to my account
I'm also f2p but i have one regret, itto. I can't farm him as of now, i don't like his design that much, and i didn't even wanted him when i pulled for him, i literally just pulled cause i liked getting characters but i didn't want him (i was dumb, ik) i'll probably use him more someday though, he is my only five star rn (i'm saving up wisely) and i do like him a bit more now...
Cyno
Best feeling is pulling for a character and kinda feeling like it was a mistake, forgetting about them for a while, and then randomly discovering how fun they are for certain tasks!
Me w kokomi and yae (thanks dendro)
Me with Venti, Sumeru really gave lots of units a redemption arc
My Kazuha journey!! Well I didn’t randomly forget I just rediscovered my enjoyment of him
me with scaramouche now i can skip lots of puzzles
surprisingly enough, me with raiden lmaooo. can't believe how much more I've begun to enjoy her with hyperbloom/aggravate teams
Finally someone else who doesnt hate ayaka sprint. Its good for exploration and can even make her walk on water forever. Not only that but it also gives her the same speed as tall male characters which are the fastest. Plus its still good in combat you just need to get used to it..
Ngl, I used to hate it, but now I enjoy it a lot, especially after the sumeru update which made her and mona dash much better.
I always switch to Mona when I have to sprint, shame I don't want Ayaka
I can understand why people wouldn’t like Ayaka for her sprint since before they fixed the dash for her and Mona, getting stuck at the small edges was really annoying and I’m a Ayaka main. 😂
I love the sprint, the fact that it can give her cryo infusion in battle is so good and if you can manage correctly, it will not deplete her stamina much while fighting. I started playing during Kazuha release which was right before Ayaka, so she was my first proper dps character, and I still main her. Though I can understand if people don't like it, but I personally do.
I LOVE Ayaka sprint!! I don’t love Mona’s as much, and I don’t know why, but Ayaka sprint is super fun.
I personally don't regret pulling for any of my characters. I've grown to love each and every one of them.
That cant be healthy
Same, i avoided too much building pity in banners with 5* i don't want, so i don't regret any of my characters, just cyno probably, and still i'm happy to have him in my account
Same :D
Same except for Klee

Thank you for appreciating Cyno, Childe and Fire Emblem
I mean like overall cyno is not rlly a bad character overall...like there are better options for everything cyno does and his playstyle is not that fun but overall...not a bad character
@@chaitalibakshi9862 it's all dawn to comparison, Cyno get outdpsed by keqing, just because he cant maintain 100% uptime of anemo buffs and oz and on top of that w\o interruption resistance NA spaming driver/carry just feels bad.
I personally skipped cyno, but got planty of time to play him on my friend cyno simp acc (c2r1 cyno with 32 rolls set), and... he just was worse than my c0 keqing even after i mastered his TF rotation.

Oh my god, I found Other Cyno lover

Cyno is amazing! No regrets pulling him at all 😊
@@ImDoneArguingOnYTComments I'm sure she's amazing😭dw she's super cute at least
I've started prioritising characters I like the playstyle of over meta characters. I don't really regret building big dps numbers but I really enjoy quickstyle swap reaction combos. My fav team rn is ayato tighnari fischl and kokomi :)
Me with my ayato kokomi nahida raiden team, i have all the big dps ones (morgana, national, hu tao vape) but I still choose the ones I love to play more and still 36* spiral abyss 🤔

@@edenrav people don't usually pair tighnari with ayato together tho
@@joenkotazuna9453 a electro/hydro/dendro core honestly works with whoever you place, ayato & tighnari work especially well because unlike other hydros ayato can apply hydro off field while also filling tighnari's downtime.
Albedo… he is the only character I regret pulling. Just because of his limited bis sword that I didn’t even have a chance to get. The damage difference between HoD and cinnabar sword is so huge. I mean, having a character and knowing you will never get his full potential is heartbreaking.
When they put cinnabar sword in Albedo’s trial I thought they will make a way to get old event weapons, but it was just a copium 🥺
I use him, but I too regret... regret no playing since day one, Albedo is great 😕 no Cinnabar for me 😕
This!!! This makes me so sad. I believe he and Klee are the only 5 star characters without their own 5 star signature weapons. I guess you can count lost prayers and summit shaper but neither of those are optimal for the characters themselves.
@@mars9986They really feel like standard 5* characters honestly… And I highly doubt the developers will ever make a 5 star sword for Albedo, just because the Cinnabar Spindle is an incredibly strong weapon for him. But even if they do make a 5 star sword for him, its value to the account will be very low (if they put defense as the main characteristic). Plus, you'd have to spend 70 wishes, if not 210, just to have your Albedo deal damage as the Albedo of the old players who managed to get the Cinnabar Spindle. Sad
@@QuinquetPourpre what a shame they can’t do a shop or something where you can buy old weapons. I mean there are a lot of event weapons that are just ok at the most. You can use them if you want, but they’re rarely the best in slot. But in Albedo’s situation there are just no alternatives except HoD. You can get the Catch, even though it’s an event weapon, so what’s the problem? Even if the cost of Cinnabar Spindle is star glitter, it’s still better then having no chance to get it at all.
I was very lucky to start playing during his banner 😭

thanks bro for saving our time
i only pull when i like the character, so it saves me from having this list. the only limited character who sort of falls in this list is klee, who i got from a guarantee at 1.0 because i didn't know how the pity system works. still, i think she's really fun to play. i actually only built her a year after i got her. i bring her to abyss every now and then to challenge myself
Same, I have only 8 limited 5* characters (I've been playing since launch) and I don't ever regret pulling because I only do it for the ones I really love, most of the characters are easy skips for me

Imagine if MYH gave us balance patches to fix the messes they keep releasing in clearly unfinished states. I.e Klee or Dori. Would be great to see them on the saem level as other characters.
Nah they'll just release new 4*s that "buff" them but only after hundreds of dollars to get C6.

Keep on dreaming!
ngl, I almost got Haran for Ayaka because I found her dashing + NA + CA way more fun than her burst and I hated using her burst, especially when it missed.
use mona and kazuha
That’s why you group enemies before bursting
@@lstsoul4376 i did this exact thing with kazuha/sucrose AND I still missed! i don't know, her burst is just kinda hard to control (+ I suck at playing her) and the enemies can still get out of the burst area so...
The second reason to not like Xiao is kind of a skill issue tbh, but I understand that. Not everyone wants to plan where to push enemies and obviously everyone has their preferences. I mean my favorite character to play is Diluc lmao he's not everyone's cup of tea
I love diluc too, his bird so damnn satisfying everytime I play it
Diluc is arguably one of the easiest dps to learn lol he's so good for newbies, that's why I like him
My only issue with Diluc was that when I finally got him, I already had a maxed out C1 Hu Tao with 4pc Shimenawa.
Him being mediocre compared to his competitors, plus CW isn't exactly the most appealing domain do not help. But now that I've got C1 Batman, I suppose I can try him out 2pc/2pc atk%
@@Nyangorou1 2p EM is better than ATK. Use an EM Sands as well. Issue with Diluc is without CW he's even worse than people make him out to be lol

Always very happy to enjoy the evening with your uploads. Highly agree with Dori too, I actually had a pretty good anticipation that it might be a good alternative to Kuki (I didn't have her at that time) and ended up into a pretty strong disappointment. As much as I don't personally enjoy claymore users, having Dori was pretty bad for me :'))
I regretted pulling Miko in her first banner. But dendro made her a bit better but the energy cost sucks especially since her skill doesn’t give her energy.
I kind of regretted Ayaka for a while, I pulled her bc I needed a strong Cryo, but I ended up using Kokomi and Venti way more and with Dendro Cryo is even less important, but tbh her skin has made up for it, now I'm trying out some stuff with Layla.
The only character I kind of regret is Hu Tao, I should have skipped because I had no clue Eula, one of my favourite chracters, was rerunning next, but I feel like I wouildn't have regretted her as much in a different circumstance. With Mika around the corner Eula is gonna get a rerun for sure (like I really hope so it's been a long while), so at least it will be over. I kind of disagree with Eula being formulaic, I don't enjoy Itto in the trials but for Eula from what i know there are different ways to play around your burst, you can swap and release it earlier if you feel like the rotation is getting longer and you don't need as many damage, in trials I've done I hate Itto but I enjoy Eula much more (I even prefer Noelle to Itto playstyle wise Itto just has the worst playstyle for my preferences even if I love his character, I would really have regretted pulling him if I ever did).
Eula rerun wen
I have prepared SO MUCH for Eula. She will have a Mika, a Raiden, and a c6 Rosaria, and a WGS, and a couple of my best artifacts on set. I’m so sad I couldn’t get her last time… I lost to Mona at 83…
And hey! We have the same opinion on Noelle! Cursed though that Gorou is always running w Itto. I feel like I’ll never get c6 Gorou at this rate..:
im so happy mika is coming to genshin because eula was left in the dust as other dps units got more and more utility. its sad the last ever eula buff we got was raiden shogun and since then it was just a downhill, i am for sure pulling her if she comes back in 3.5
@@anotherrandomperson9174 lmao i don't even have gorou c0 i've given up on his c6, i really don't want to risk itto
@@alguien908 I already *have* Itto (a 20 pity accident when I was going for Gorou cons). My Gorou is only c1. I need MORE but I don’t want Itto cons… he’s a waste of a 5star as it is on my account
Quickswap Eula is so much fun but the problem is the team comp. Raiden and Rosaria are perfect for this kind of team, but there isn't a 4th unit that comes anywhere close to those two, so you might as well do hyperbloom instead. Mika doesn't work with this team comp right now but maybe that will change in beta. He's basically a Bennett side-grade (at C6 yikes) for the typical hypercarry Eula team, which isn't as good as hyperbloom with Eula in there for fun.
I don't think I'll ever regret pulling for a character because the only characters I really pull for are ones that I kinda want regardless of how much I think I'd play them. I got Nahida because she's adorable (knowing I'd barely play her), I got Wanderer because I like his character arc and his voice lines sometimes make me laugh ("quit following me!"), and I got Xiao recently because the chasm archon quest made me emotionally invested in him and he has my favorite character design in the game, but I honestly didn't think I'd play him much! his gameplay took some getting used to but now I find myself crashing random hilichurl camps for no reason just to play him for a liiiiiittle longer every day lol (my ability to build characters is, frankly, embarrassing so spiral abyss is out of the question). I also only pulled for Layla because she's starry and pretty, and I plan to pull for Mika just because I think he's the cutest thing. my account is basically just a gallery of characters I like looking at lol
The moment i saw dori's attack animation I was already, Nope not gonna use this character
The only character I "regret" pulling is Ganyu in 2.4, not because she's bad or I don't like her, but because I realise that her synergy with the characters I had at the time is not so great. The only Ganyu team I could play was Melt with Bennet, Xiangling, and Diona, and this wasn't so great when I needed Bennet and Xiangling in the other half of the Abyss. I think it would've been better to pull for Zhongli at the time.
Pair her with nahida and proc burning for constant melt reaction. And nahida provides em to further enhance your melt.
Yea this is my consideration when pulling for characters, whether they synergize well with my existing characters or not. Like for example my 2nd account have Ganyu, Mona, and Childe; in which I wanted to make a Morgana and (Inter)national team. Considering this, even a highly valued 5*s like Raiden and Yelan would bring little value to this account which is why I skipped them and waited for Kazuha instead (bcs I lost 50/50 during Venti rerun)
i have different problem i pull for both in 2.3 but now i regret pulling for zhongli because he to op broken and ganyu is flexible can be dps and support , ganyu and ayato is fun combo
Cyno being the most regretable character from the community hurts me as a Cyno main. Did they not use him with nahida? He is insanely strong in quickbloom, he is meta in CN server too.
The problem is.. They are so blinded that they deny he's actually strong
They made me question my sanity, like the dude is fine I can't literary get the hate
For me it’s the fact that he’s so energy dependent.
Like I have Cyno and AlHaitham, who both use arguably similar teams, but I’d rather use alhaitham because his elemental infusion isn’t tied to permanently active burst up. I just hate the feeling of running around waiting to have burst up to do anything. Could be my skill issue, but it really makes me want to play other characters instead.
That’s the biggest reason for me because I keep switching between characters like Ayato wanderer and alhaitham all the time. I love my husbandos 😅
I mean Nahida wasn't out when he released and it's not like Nahida is particularly good or fun with him anyway against anything but bosses because his burst lasts so long and doesn't let you switch so you can't mark any new enemies with her.
His anti-synergy with Nahida is one of his biggest issues and one of the main things that they'll hopefully fix
@@sagearbor9414 Alhaitham is sorta burst dependant if you play him in spread because you want to maintain 3 mirrors for max damage

based
I agree hu taos boring to play
The first half of your take is questionable. But the second half.. That's not even a hot take, that's just the truth.
at c0 yeah i'd argue a lot of characters are way more fun to play than Hu Tao lol
I'm suffering through using Dori because I've never picked up a Shinobu. But trust, the second she appears on a banner next, I am wishing a million times, haha.
Kuki is the fire of my heart, I've built her with EM as "nice reactor that also heals", and then Dendro came out.
If there's one character I regret getting it would be Nilou on my old account.I don't hate Nilou at all but I do wish I pulled for Albedo on his banner instead since I mained Klee on that account and and thought it would be wholesome for klee to have her brother with her.
I don't have regrets because I'm the type of person who only pulls for a character if I like them. Really saves me the trouble of having a list of characters I regret pulling for.
Samee, I tried my best to pull a character only after the reviews are in and deciding that their gameplay is compatible with me. I mean-- as an f2p, you can't afford regretting a character X'D
I regret yoimiya. She wastes a lot of time killing enemies unless she needs a higher investment
Surely I got baited with the Ayaka in the thumbnail… surely?
:0 The first person who also kinda regretted pulling for Ayaka!! I don't particularly know why I regret pulling for her, I just find her to be a bit annoying. Not sure if it's personality-wise or playstyle-wise. She just gave me the same ick that Itto did.
you NEED kokomi/mona and Venti/Kazuha to enjoy her imo. i would regret her if i didnt have those

I don’t really regret Ayaka but she is the only character who’s dmg I have that has dmg that I wish wasn’t surrounded around her burst
So about Dori, her electro self-infusion is quite meaningful for kazuha/sayu's swirl in teams where Nahida yeet away all the electro w/ her dendro app. She's definitely useful in Yae/Kazuha/Nahida team to battery Yae without sacrificing survivability and whatnot.
dori and alhaitham is very good combo. dori can heal, trigger seeds and apply electro for spread. plus, she regens alhaitham burst while he doing his things and doesn fight him for em sword like kuki
Dori is bad, she have no weapon 5* decent for her kit!
Alhaitham is very good the most broken, learning at how he does, he is busted!
Look up Dori freeze hyperbloom, that cursed team is low-key amazing.
I also wish for everyone, but characters I rarely use are Eula, Shenhe, Albedo, Zhongli (yes Zhongli) and Klee
Curious, why albedo & zhongli?
@@Kam1_9 probably because albedo while a good character can be replaced in many teams he fits in (beside mono geo), same thing with zhongli. As much as his shield is busted he doesn’t grant you that much more damage beside decreasing elemental resistance of enemies, he’s mainly a comfort pick and not a big damage pick.
I don't know if we have the same reason but I also benched my Zhongli. Zhongli is indeed a comfort in life but at some point I couldn't make a team without Zhongli in it. I have a Bennett but not getting interrupted during your attacks was such a great feature that zhongli does. I decided to bench him cause it felt like I was relying too much on that comfort. After I did that, it opened my teams to a lot more characters.
The problem now though is, if before I can't make a team without Zhongli, now I can't put Zhongli on a team. One thing I realized once I dropped Zhongli is I like reactions more than a standard DPS doing most of the work.
@@Kam1_9 I mainly play teams with a lot of reactions and geo just doesnt fit there and I just prefer Healers over shielders. Like sure, Zhongli can give some res sredd, but Kokomi can provide way more than enough healing while also being able to apply a lot of hydro and be played on field without needing a seperate build
@@entegi ohh alright i see, thanks!
Ganyu. The idea that I have to play around her charged attack feels so tedious. And this says a lot when I main klee, but at least you can aid her "clunkiness" with cancels and positioning. Also, Eula just because physical feels like a fossil of a concept.
Wow you have Klee, I really want her do you know when her next rerun banner is?
@@Yoonie_Aya in summer probably
Guide videos often say that Albedo can fit into any team if you don’t know who the last member should be. For me, he almost only exist in mono geo. Outside of mono geo, he’s mainly there to take the spotlight from the main dps. He can also buff EM but I’d rather use Sucrose for that, who I don’t even touch nowadays
5:37 Acording to theory crafters Yanfei is INDEED stronger than Klee ! Although she's only about a 5% DPS increase , Yanfei is so much smoother to play than Klee , and thanks to being a 4 star you can get her cons way more easily , her C4 even allowing her to become a pretty good shielder
where did you find this info from. I'm pretty sure that's just not the case
To everyone that really regrets a character, I hope one day a character you really like comes along and the character you regret ends up filling a perfect spot on a team with that character. The game is not complete yet!
You sound like someone cheering their friend who had a break-up 😅.
@denki2558 lmaoo
personally, i dont really find myseld really regretting anyone. I like having the choice of a different playstyle and regularly use everyone!
I love hypercarries like Itto, Eula, Xiao, etc. But my only regret is Wanderer. I wish his blue stamina would deplete much slower when you dash or elevates. Also his damage is so underwhelming without C6 faruzan or C4 jean.
and he gets flung quite often which wastes his meter
Meanwhile I love Eula for being braindead straightforward for when I have to play on a phone and aiming with my Ganyu becomes annoying, lmao.
Yaoyao really saved Cyno for me. He was benched for so long and suddendly I can't go out without him anymore
Ayaka on this list is crazy for me
I got Yae originally because my best friend got her,ended up loving her completely,kokomi came out of nowhere and now she's in any team i make,cyno same,both him and kokomi came at super low pity and won the 50/50's,cyno was bound to stay low invested but then i got his polearm and he is just so strong,and like 3 days ago alhaitam came out of my wish number 20 and well,happy
Regret having diluc c1 and building him tho
I too love Ayaka and Mona sprint. I personally want a pyro with one of these sprints because it would be fun to just set fire to the grass
Eula is the only character I regret pulling. At the time Raiden was my only 5* limited character and I needed anything I could use to help me with the abyss. People said she's good with Raiden so I went for it. In the end I found her gameplay and aesthetic too boring so I almost never used her...
Ayaka is honestly one of the few characters I’m just not interested in getting at all. Probably one of the last characters I’ll ever get whenever I do get around to pulling for her
my problem with Ayaka is the artifacts i never got an attack one (dont remeber exacty were i needed that but it was an attack % main stat)
Respect for uploading this vid, I can already hear the angry keyboard typing XD
I also used to regret "pulling" for Ayaka, but it's a different story.
My account got hacked during the extended period of Ayaka's rerun back in 2.6 all the way to mid 2.7, and my hacker got her alongside c1 Diluc. After I got my account back, I used to always look at her with anger because she basically stole my savings for Baizhu. I would throw her off the sky nail on dragonspine a few times, let her succumb to the cold climate, let her burn next to the fire flower, etc. But after 2 weeks living in denial, I started to think that I should've been mad at the hacker and not the character, and hey I basically completed the Yashiro commision comp because I also happen to have Ayato and Thoma. Gradually, I started to warm up to her, and after another few days I've finally convinced myself to properly build her.
Now I'm a proud Kamisato siblings haver, and using them both in the same team is one of the best things I've ever done.
How the tf did you get hacked?
@@lstsoul4376 just your usual google account data breach (I didn't have any hyv account linked to my genshin profile back then) and I was stupid enough not to change my account passwords immediately lol, it's fault at my part
I don't really regret pulling any character, the closest I can think is Childe and it's not cause I hate his kit, no I like it, it's just that I have too many build projects going on right now that he keeps getting pushed down the list to get finished, collecting dust and I kinda regret getting him to not use for lord knows how long.
I don't regret having someone particularly. I only pull who I want. The only regret is have to skip rerun whoever I wanted for the new/next character I also want.
Nilou... At first. Bloom was a new reaction at the time, and I just wasn't used to getting a delayed dmg. Used to be, when I click... something dies, or gets damaged. It's almost tactile.
With Nilou, you just had to let her 3x E out and wait for your dendro teammates to create reactions and your driver to create more. It's not the most engaging.
Then Nahida came out, and I still built my Nilou, because I wasn't satisfied. Now, at 57khp, and EM focus besides, she's always been in my abyss team since getting her built. Same with my Itto, I just built him and now, there's no regrets. Turns out, you just gotta build them, and because of the unlocked potential, (and the time investment you put in) you WILL love them. Lol. because that build? That's your baby.
@@abtask ooh, i haven't built Yao yao yet, since I'm revisiting my Raiden build. How's her synergy with a Nilou team?
@@abtask that's great. I do have a barbara built, because I farmed the crap out of Itto's domain and had a lot of clam set lying around, lol. But I might have to check out Yao Yao too, if anything, just to have a frame of reference, for comparison. Or just to change up the dynamic of my Nilou teams. Thx for the tip.
I've used to regret my Xiao, but recently i got a Jape spear from the standard banner and the release of Faruzan too made him more interesting to use again
For people who are bored of Xiao/hate the knockback/want to use his normal attacks: Let me introduce you to XiaoLad
The team is: Xiao, Xingqiu, Dendro MC/Nahida, and Fischl
Put Xiao on VV full EM (just steal your best VV set) and Favonius Polarm, Put Xingqiu on Emblem, Dendro on deep wood, Fischl on Thundering Fury
Xingqiu burst, E, E, Dendro MC burst, E, Fischl burst, Xiao burst, normal attacks and skill spam. Stay near OZ. It's a hyperbloom team where you use electro swirled to activate hyperbloom
Curtesy of Zajef77 (my favorite theory crafter because he doesn't stick to what he's "supposed" to do and uses just about everyone)
As A F2P . I just love when a yellow color appears when I pull wishes.
Dunno why people hate on Ayaka's dodge because when I use her I never have to because everything is perma frozen or dead.
I think I have "summoner's remorse" because a lot of characters are left unused until some rare event when I decide to pull them out. I've even stopped trying to build everyone because so many just end up collecting dust...that and artifacts can burn. Honestly, I feel bad about it too.
Never had any regrets bcs i only pulled on characters i really want
It hits different when you try to build supports around the character that you pull rather than pulling for characters hoping they would work with typical supports like Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu,...
Mona-Ayaka dash is best for dodging. It consumes less stamina and you can do it multiple times. You can just slams the button multiple times and even you can dodge the raiden shogun attacks
the special dashes that mona and ayaka have are faster then normal running
Even when Albeto was the worst. Mine was CRACKED.
I don't even need to refarm for the new set (although I am trying, but I really don't want to farm for another year again, plus I have other characters to raise)
Then his new sword put him as my best character.
The one character that I regret spending time and resources on is, weirdly enough, Ayato. I mained him for a bit but the second I got him friendship Level 10, I never touched him again. Even a benched character like Itto I’ll play with every now and then, but never Ayato. His play of just standing there holding his attack just got real stale real fast. I could never really find a way to make him fun for me. But other than that, absolutely no regrets with anyone else.
I remember co op ing during klee's first rerun, and everyone was saying she was the strongest character. How things have changed
No regrets for any characters tbh because I have a rotating main team so I always use different characters to keep things free. The closest thing I have to a regret is tartaglia since I got him while trying to get rosaria but I still use him occasionally especially when up against mobs.
Lol I didn't like his playstyle when I tested him so didn't want him and I got him going for Rosaria. That's when I learned how dangerous chasing a 4* can be and how it can be tougher than getting a 5*. Took a break from the game but since being back I do want to eventually build him and give him a serious try.
Well. Im very picky when it comes to pulling new characters. I think the only character i regret pulling is Childe (mr cooldown). But to be fair i never really wanted him, just wanted to try the act of "pulling". Also Albedo, but again, i pulled for Bennett Sucrose and Fischl. So Albedo was an acceptable collateral damage:)
i regret doing a 10-pull when approaching pity on raidens banner lmao… i accidentally got one raiden at 80 pity and her c1 in one multi and I regret not doing singles because I could’ve gotten alhaitham…
Characters I regret.. Itto (I thought he was fun but never built him and im not the biggest fan of geo, and honestly I just wanted to be taller than my friend in-game who also got him), Xiao (never built him and dont use him), Ganyu (same reason). Now I would say Tighnari, Mona, Keqing, Diluc and Jean but technically most of those were 50/50s so I cant regret them. I also kind of regret Albedo, tho he does have a build (despite his low crit rate). And finally, I regret getting Wanderer. I loved his story, personality and design so much I just had to get him only to discover I dont really like his gameplay, especially since if you don't have a shield combat in air can be difficult, and I have Sucrose. Yes I made Sucrose a DPS because shes my favorite along with Wanderer (lore wise ofc) and I love her gameplay.
Dang you actually hit me with a 1-2 there both my mains Ayaka and Eula are here. daaaang
I definitely regret Eula and going for her c1 and signature weapon, and I regret pulling Childe though it was mostly for a joke anyways. The boy stays at level 69 until the kills enough stuff to level up.
Totally unrelated, but I have never realized that you can break that wall at 8:39, I always crawled through the small cracks when farming those guys :D
samee, until my friend broke it when he needed to farm with me
I Hope you get better ratheil plus I have a video idea rank every character on how good of a freind a character will be
Ayaka is my biggest regret. She’s just boring. I also kinda regret Zhongli tbh. Pulling Zhongli is like smoking for the first time. Now I’m addicted to him.
You mean her character or her play style? I find the latter fine, but she feels like an overly generic traditional housewife waifu. Her visual design is good though.
Uggh same, I pull on Zhongli's banner simply because I like his character, little did I know I will be addicted to putting him on my team 😩
I don't really have any pull regrets. And I'm like one of the ten remaining cyno main out there. But if I have to choose, probably scara. I dunno, it just feels really awkward when he gets hit by enemies while in the air and then he falls and then he gets up. Also his charged atk is just really weird, I sometimes can't charged atk on my phone. I like his backstory and he's cute but still don't even really like him that much since I just see him as unlikable little gremlin. And I think his biggest downfall is Faruzan. Wow bro, can't wait to build my c0 faruzan that I got after scara's banner with 300+% er and still doesn't get her burst back in time. It's just harder to build around your support instead of your hyper carry.
If you have a well-built Yunjin, Faruzan is ironically not super needed imo. For overall higher anemo dmg she is but since he's a normal-attacks-kind-of-character it's actually really good.
And I don't know, you'd usually run him with a shielder anyway tbh, so I wouldn't say it's THAT much of an issue. Even Thoma is a good option. (especially at c6).
If you still don't like him that's okay^_^ but just in case you still want to give him a shot you can try those tips.
@@zy0xdespairgeclips thanks for your recomendation. I have built Yunjin, I'll try it later and see if it helps scara. I just got Faruzan from the current weapon banner, I tried using her and I just got stressfull recharging her burst. I used zhongli or thoma with him sometimes but idk if it's a skillissue thing, I still got yeeted quite often🥲 I do like that he's a hypercarry that doesn't rely on burst tho. I like cyno, itto, and xiao's gameplay but I just can't put them in my exploration team anymore
@@cocoroach_ok Yes, Wanderer isn't top tier but I do think he can be pretty good with the right team comp. He's also not for everyone so don't feel bad about it, I think that the best thing about him is how good he feels in overworld even though his damage isn't super amazing.
DEFINITELY CYNO BECAUSE TELL ME WHY IM USING HIS BEST TEAM AND ITS WORSE THAN JUST SLOTTING IN RAIDEN IN HIS BEST TEAM INSTEAD OF HIM HES AWFUL( I regret Cyno maybe xiao I love him too much though)
which team are you using for him?
@@heartzy_ furina nahida and baizhu
More power to u. But I've loved my eula since I got her back on her first rerun and still play her till today
i don't regret getting dcaramouche even though he's benched and unbuilt. he helps me with exploration and getting to areas i couldnt have got to before (because no kazuha or venti)
Dude, i was trying to get yao yao and got al Haitham c1 :)
I regret pulling cyno cuz I don’t use him and I don’t feel like farming for him
Agree about ayaka burst. Have you seen it in beta? It looked like she released an invisible shadow clone who went on a rampage with its blade, no clue why they changed that.
I really regret getting ayato since I got him due to the hype but I hate how he doesn't move while doing his charged attack
for me it's definitely hutao and to a lesser extent childe and raiden. Hutao got replaced almost immediately for a multitude of reasons, childe and raiden slowly drifted into the background because I would rather play other teams. I've been playing since release and it's getting increasingly harder to justify getting new characters because I don't wanna stop using my old characters that I *still* like a lot.
edit because of comments: Hutao (C0 with deathmatch) mostly got replaced by childe + xiangling vape and ganyu + venti centric teams. Both of them cleared 1.x content as fast or faster while being a lot more fun to play. At the same time these teams were also way less invested than my hutao team, which are the main reasons just stopped using her. By the time inazuma came and more single target/melee cleave oriented abyss chambers got released I tried using her again, but by then the difference was even bigger because I didn't keep investing more into her due to focusing on other new teams. And now I am at an investment level with the characters I actually use that it really doesn't matter much what team I play. Right now I mostly play yae + tighnari in aggravate, nilou bloom, itto geo (finally got c6 gorou) and mono anemo quickswap and occasionally whip out raiden and childes teams. All of those are more enjoyable than hutao ever was while also clearing the current chambers quickly.
Also stoped using dps raiden,but full em raiden in hyperbloom so comfortable to use now
How exactly did hutao get replaced?
Who did u replace Hu Tao with? And why?
I'll tell you she's boring as hell to play all you do is charge atks and the aiming as you all know is rubbish I stopped playing her after a week
The only way Hu Tao got replaced is with a stronger Hyperbloom team with minimum investment, or simply because you don't like playing her.
The only other reason is maybe you got Yoimiya who is weaker but easier to play
The only character i regret is nilou
Since i wasnt going to pull for nahida, and i dont have kokomi, so trying to use nilou for me is like trying to use hutao without xingqiu
My only real objection is the Xaio choice when Xinyan exists with her bugged moves and terrible split scaling that should have been in the list. Xaio is really strong in abyss with the appropriate teammates and with C6 Faruzan, fixes nearly every major problem with him. C6 Faruzan has made it very easy with her burst to group all the enemies up whenever Xaio's plunge attack causes knockback. Also, major dps increase along with giving plenty of energy back to Xaio to the point where it's nearly a consistent rotation back into his burst with minimum ER.
I can understand in terms of gameplay with Ayaka if you don't like her dash or don't build her into a freeze team. The burst can easily miss agile enemies without the freeze on them. I do hope they buff Klee with the hydro archon to make her burst become like super vape procs or something. Right now, Klee for me is really just use her E charges then switch because I do not like her autos and rarely use her burst since I feel it's underwhelming in damage and practical usage.
who gives a shit about 4-stars? nobody is actively pulling for her LMAO
@@Toqrainbow Xinyan is like the worse one in the game currently. Not good at any role. Terrible shielder with split scaling stats that are inconsistent to either shielding or being a damage dealer. Surprised in the video he didn't build her up just for this list for him to regret doing so lol.
As Byron says, you are very unlikely to find someone who regrets pulling for Xinyan, because people don't pull for Xinyan. They get her when losing a "50/50" (or 75/25 in case of the weapon banner), or from the standard banner, or as a 1:3 chance when pulling on a banner for a different character on said banner. Take me, for example. I slightly regret pulling for Candace, but since I only did a single 10 pull and got her, it is just that, slight. But I don't regret pulling for Diluc, who I have at C4 and I have not used a single time on this account. The reason why is simple. I never pulled for Diluc. He just happens when I'm pulling for other things or using standard wishes.
That said, while Xinyan does have the worst designed kit in the game, one that pulls her in opposite directions in various things, she's a decent enough four star if you give her a Redhorn Stonethresher (and you have her at C6). And yeah, you shouldn't have to give a character a five star weapon for them to be viable. What it goes to show, though, is that Xinyan could be made playable enough if Hoyoverse just added a four star claymore that, say, gave a Yun Jin style, def-based bonus to physical damage (so it'd help her normals, charged, plunge, and burst). Permanent addition, of course, say a crafted weapon made available through a Xinyan story quest. Of course, knowing Hoyoverse, if they added such a weapon, they'd make it an event one, thereby screwing over anyone who starts after the event ;)
Anyway, since I got mine a Redhorn, I quite enjoy using her. Been thinking about crowning her normal attack even. And she is actually quite handy for certain domains. Specifically, a few of the cryo ones. Being pyro, she can help break the shields (Though needing 2 enemies for the E to get a DoT is yet another issue), and her shield is handy for taking the edge of the hard hits or the annoying falling icicles.
Yeah. It's hard to really get what you want when it's all mostly through chance. I guess I should have noted that regret should have been based on actually trying to get them rather than performance.
I do not regret pulling her, but Nilou is the 5* I use the least
This is not because she's bad, she's the best at what she does, its just rn it feels like her team isn't complete yet
I got Nahida and hoping to get Yaoyao too, but it still feels like a future character is gonna complete her best team and idk how long that'll take
Her team will never be "complete". Imagine when focalors drops
@@rhezer I'm waiting for her 🙏
I think Nahida and Kokomi alone are already the premium version of Nilou's teammates, and you even slot anyone into the last slot (Hydro or Dendro ofc), but I know how you feel, it fells something is still missing.
There's no shielder and grouper, though at least Yelan's E can group small enemies and Xingqiu's Rainswords has dmg reduction
She does pretty much exactly one thing (Extreme AoE damage) and that's kind of it really. I have her double crowned but rarely use her since her kit is so niche that you'd only ever want to use her once in a blue moon.
While I enjoy playing Cyno, I kinda regret getting him because I feel like I will end up replacing his team in abyss and that his actually strong team is one I don't like
I have C6 Klee. If there is any regrets, it's that Mihoyo made her relatively weak and refuses to at least make her burst stay active while she switches out.
Trying hard to understand ur explanation with that sick background music I instantly "WOGH PERSONA, tuturutuu tuturuttuuu~"
I regret pulling Yae Miko, I had her BiS. I simped for her the moment I saw her but after I got her something about her feels off. I tried to make her work, put Fischl on her, do Aggravate, do Benny, do Hyperbloom. I still feel unsatisfied. I then realized that I like being interactive in battle, that’s why I like Ningguang and Ayaka cuz I need to keep clicking buttons. Though you could do NA Yae Miko, Ningguang’s NA is still more fun and has gimmicks to it. On the side note, I also feel the same way with Venti. I kinda regret him cuz I cant make him work on chonky enemies but the moment you need him, he feels worth every hours of my chest hunting. Also, I thought I regretted pulling for Nilou but she made abyss a child’s play and her cutscene in Samsara is 🤌 lol.
Hmm... Stiiill gonna be pulling for Ayaka. Gave in using my Welkin currency for her Fontaine outfit, likewise have a soft spot for gimmicky mobility (hey, Kazoo pogo!), and here's a reason for ya: I still don't have a character who can double my weapon material synthesis. Skipped Alhaitham, but I have some catching up to do now that I've jumped up to AR56/WL7.
I regret NOT pulling for Yelan 😢
I treat klee as hoyo's gift to me. So she's built. But after her friendship level is maxed, i don't use her. But I'm still happy i have her. I pulled her accidentally after i got C1 kazuha i can't get a single heizou, so i pulled on Klee's banner for fun because I'm thinking maybe i might get Heizou there. And yes I got Heizou and Klee in a single 10 pull, just 10 pulls away from my kazuha. So it didn't really ruin my savings at all.
Nobody else immediately recognizes the "Life Will Change" instrumental from Persona 5?
Eula is one of the characters i would love to pull since i like her personality but i might not pull her because i am not a huge fan of physical.
my regret is wishing on 2 main dps pyro banners: Hu tao and yoimiya. It's not that I despise them, it's just that I could have saved the primos for other main dps that arent pyro. I mostly struggle against pyro enemies bc i dont have a cryo main dps for example. I could count nilou tho but her gameplay isnt about killing pyro enemies it's about making dendro cores i just really would like someone like ayaka bc kaeya is.. meh not bad but not fun for me at least.
(edit): i also have many pyro main dps that are good (yanfei, dps xiangling) so getting them wasnt really needed, i could have easily mained yanfei and i would do pretty good since she's catalyst and catalyst is the best weapon at least for me because my fav gameplay is doing elemental reactions.
Me before watching the video: yeah, yeah, gonna be another one crapping buckets at my man Wanderer...
Me after watching the video: fascinating, I have nothing to disagree with.
I've always been the type of person to completely ignore meta and just get the characters I want, but for me, getting Scaramouche because I was excited over the flying thingy might have been a bit of an oversight 😅 He's amazing for exploration but that's basically all I use him for.
I've also never really understood the hate (or moreso regret) for Cyno. I main both him and Xiao, and while I absolutely love the both of them, Cyno feels much more fun to play. Especially in aggravate or hyperbloom teams. In the hyperbloom comp I use Cyno, Nahida, Kuki, and Xingqiu, and it's super fun! Aggravate I just swap out Xingqiu for Tighnari for the extra dps. Also a super fun team! I feel like there's more variety with how you play with Cyno opposed to Xiao.
I think the one I regret most pulling for was Raiden. I got baited in by the hype trailer and her burst animations, but when I played her story quest, and with all the quests in inazuma in mind... my impression of her dropped to rock bottom 😭
I personally dont regret pulling any units. I want all 4 stars and i only pull 5 stars/pull on banners or 5 stars that im okay with getting, the only time i almost messed up was when i got an early 5 star on itto's first rerun but thankfully acting grandmaster jean saved the day because i personally do not like itto
While not an owner of all characters i regret pulling eula right now:
, i pulled her when i was still new to the game and didn't know anything, i pulled her just because of her autos, i didn't even need to know her burst i played her in trial her autos seemed really fun and as someone that was playing physical kaeya at the time and also physical razor eula felt like a perfect fit, and my past self loved eula.... and then inazuma came out.
Not only did i get ayaka, i got incredibly lucky and got c2 raiden while trying to get c4 xiangling (about 70 pulls total with carry over 50 pity from ayaka banner), but also enemies just countered her, you had enemies that would be mobile and not let you attack them like rifthounds especially electro ones (because you carried electro on you so they were always enraged), you had the rise of PMA that meant i did less physical damage and most importantly I as a player changed, i started liking different teams i started liking using taser, reverse melt, freeze, i stopped playing eula even before dendro came out, now that it's out i have even less of a reason to play her. and it makes me sad but somewhat nostalgic to think back about eula but i don't think i want to go back to her. she was a character that helped me get 681k crit in 1 single strike, and while i can't beat that right now i can see myself being able to in the future.
