Thanks to Paimon's Bargains for sponsoring one of the topups to help make this video! Check them out here if you want to save some money on your pulls: discord.gg/paimonsbargains As always, you don't have to spend a dime to play Genshin though. But if you are gonna spend anyways, may as well save a dime.
You dont give them your account, just your UID. No different than using Codashop (in fact they use Codashop to fulfill orders I believe) to topup. All they are doing is buying a topup for you where it is cheaper in another currency (MYR in this case). For me it is about 20% off. I have used it 3 times without issue, it just takes them some time to fulfill your order. As I mentioned in the video it usually has taken me about 2 days after sending payment
@@pokokight7363 personally I've done a full clear before, once, was kinda weird since their answer were kinda late, but still did it either way, and said sorry, plus gave me an extra Welkin moon due problems.
I got Albedo (so I won my 50/50) at 30 pity lmao I was so shocked since I ALWAYS go to 70 pity, this banner is lucky at the beginning but it gets normal after ig
The only value to this banner is 'hunters path' and 'beacon of the reed sea' weapons because they would never appear on any event banner anymore since the 5 stars those were meant for are standard banner 5 stars now.
Yeah, its good to have ways to get them, and more options to get characters in general imo. The weapon portion of this banner isnt all that much better than a normal weapon banner though, due to lower base chance for a 5 star and higher pity required compared to weapon banner, and a higher chance to get a standard weapon when you have no guarantee (50% this banner vs 25% on weapon banner). Will probably talk more about the weapon banner portion of this video in a Weapons Only video though
They might appear on sumeru regional banner too based on leaks. In like two months. It will be back every version for the second half of each version as of now
A Liyue or Inazuma themed Chronicled Wish would honestly have pretty high value. Like, imagine losing your 50/50 to characters like Kokomi, Ayaka, Yae Miko, Hu Tao, Ganyu, Tartaglia, etc.
agreed. Hu tao has escaped my acc on every single rerun she's had & im saving for primordial jade cutter for kirara dps, so I'm probably gonna save a LOT for the liyue one :)
I would like one for sumeru, specially because i really want Kaveh, i don't have him yet, not getting a five star is fine if there's a Kaveh or two that comes with it
the only character id be annoyed at losing 50/50 to on liyue banner would be ganyu bc i dont want any cons of her, but id so love to get hutaos c2 or keqing
lol it's only a scam if you don't have enough wishes though. Otherwise it's better since you can lose to other limited characters or weapons. I lost to Klee and was a lot happier than when I lost to Qiqi on other banners LOL And then went to pity 3 times on the weapon banner... Now THAT is a scam xD
@@Ali_FuchsTHIS ! My God people are calling it a scam without explaining why it is . If you save, you will get what you want ,is basically the same the limited character banner .
300 dollars, that's one week worth of groceries for my partner and I. What is also worrisome that there will be kids or others thinking they're going to be lucky like Soluna. I wouldn't say this banner is a scam like people say, but I would say this banner are made in such a way to drain your primoes or interwined fates. Thing will geta lot harder when you have nothing else that will reward you in game which incentivises you to pull out that plastic.
For me, I think it's best to use maybe 10-20 wishes for the chronicaled wish banner per patch on weapons, then save the rest for limited. That way, you will still have wishes left for limited banners, and you will also eventually get a weapon on the chronicaled wish banner.
the only purpose of this banner is for people hunting for a certain character like eula or klee, whos banner hasnt been around in nearly a year, or albedo who hasnt been showcased in a year and a half i also say its worth for people who want a specific standard character as for the weapons, honestly not worth the price
@@Solunerra It's ok, I am usually super lucky so my luck will just return double the next time. :D I was glad to see you fgot super lucky on the banner, always nice to see!
I want to defend this banner by saying that i got albedo and my c6 bennett from this banner Seriously though, it's basically just a normal limited banner except you choose who the 5* is, and you lose your 50/50 to eula instead of qiqi. And about the fate points, it's on you if you have to pull the second you get 160 primogems
The problem is a new separet banner. It's mean it will devide our primogems to three different banners. Espeically because you can'T even ignore this banner like the weapen banner, if you want some older charatcers. On the long run it is a pretty bad addition.
@@Kaineplush i'm pretty sure the pity stays.. those 50 wishes you spent won't disappear. the main difference is just that if you lose the 50/50 you don't have a guaranteed for the next time if you don't use it on the current banner. that's an okay reason to not like it but it's also easily avoidable by not.. well, gambling. yeah it's a gacha game but it has a pity system that a lot of others don't have, and people should keep this in mind when participating in genshin's gacha. all in all i personally believe that this banner is a good addition to the game. it lets reruns come faster and for standard characters that people want to be guaranteed. people have been asking that for a really long time lol. also, weapons here are actually cheaper than the weapon banner. and also kaeya lisa amber are on here since it's a mondstadt banner. i'm not saying it's perfect or anything (i think it should last for the entire patch) but i don't think some of the common criticisms/complaints are really warranted?
idk how its a "nothing change". for people who spend money on the game, you can guarantee yourself constellations for characters who will never run on a banner, and the weapons require half as many fate points to guarantee them. this is significant.
Its "mostly" a nothing change, not a "nothing change" (I think I said "mostly" in the video). Ultimately, it is good to have more options generally, but more options while getting the same amount of resources for free can make it even harder for a lot of players to decide what to do. I do like the ability to be able to purposefully get standard five stars, and do like the idea of being able to lose a 50/50 to limited five stars, and amber/lisa/kaeya cons being easier to get. But it is just more to wish on with the same amount of wishes to use (unless you spend money) Weapon acquisition is not actually that much better btw, because the base rate is higher on weapon banner, and pity is lower, not to mention if either of the limited banner five star weapons are valuable, there is a high chance of getting something useful if you only have one pities worth of wishes.
@@Solunerra so basically you're saying "its unfriendly to people who don't spend money" okay. Welcome to Genshin Impact. for the people who do spend money, this change is both significant and beneficial.
@@FlurryOwOEven at that most players look for specific units and less than a year of grind makes the games become easy. It would be nice to have more pulls ,but the game isn't forcing us to pull units .
My biggest disappointment with this banner is that it doesnt last long enough. It should last long enough to cover both the first and second half of the main banner. Then obviously the fact that the fate point dont carry over. You really have to plan unless your paying a couple 100. I want to wish on it but I have to be in incredibly fortunate position to do so. :/
yeaa I've spent around 300 pulls on here and it's addicting :p you're just like "ok but lemme get this too", then, "but i have a fate point i can't miss it" and end up spending 40k primos
Yeah I shouldve mentioned in the video that especially with MH existing the relative value of non crit weapons has gone up. So gravestone providing a wack ton of atk, including the semi inconsistent team atk% buff, makes it very relevant
If your fate point carried over, the banner would be worthwhile. As it is, it's just another trap unless you have the wishes/money to get the character you want that banner.
I think the banner is great for players who started late to catch up. I also believe this is just the first one, so I am hoping that after this one, the banner will have a lot more older limited characters rather than half of them being from the standard banner
i started late and really want ganyu, and it would be a real pain if she appeared on a chronicled banner than a normal limited event banner. see if i dont save 180 wishes i might just not get her. if she however appears on a rate up limited normal banner and i have pity saved (guaranteed even). it''d be so much better in my case. so this isn't really new player friendly IMO
yep, it's just Mondstadt issue for being oldest region with just 3 limitted 5* characters (from 1.x era). Seriouisly why Hoyo couldn't release new legendary characters from that region like they did with Liyue and Inazuma in following versions.
I'm still sticking with normal event banner because having those specific 4 star supports for the character youre pulling is actually better than getting 4 stars that you dont need. Like pulling for eula, you can potentially get more cons for mika etc.
You are literally living my dream with getting Diluc and Wolf's Gravestone! Wish this were me I really hope he will appear on this banner again because he's my favorite character and I haven't prepared AT ALL for this 😭
The amount of money I spent is still a lot ($160, even with the free topup from Paimons Bargains), so I dunno if Id say “worthwhile” when you compare that on a cost level to what else it can buy you. For me it was ultimately a business decision in this instance since it is likely I either make money or at least get close to breaking even. On a measurable level what I got for what would cost most players $240+ USD, though? That’s a usable phone type of money, or 4 other $60 games, or savings for future big purchases. Getting lucky with gambling makes it FEEL more worthwhile, but on an objective level imo its not. Which is what I hope to illustrate by making this kind of video. My hope is to show people what $xx gets you to make people see how low value it is, as I can afford it as a simple business cost that could even make me money, but many players shouldnt be spending the money. I know this approach may backfire and make some people wish more, but my hope is I help people at least plan how they spend their wishes more by making these videos, so the gacha system hurts less. Sorry for the short rant, you just got me thinking lol
this banner's perfect for the very specific and unlikely case of having played for years without getting a particular standard character or weapon. if arlecchino wasn't on the way i'd probably wish on it for lost prayer, considering i've gone 3 years without one and it's harder to get from a weapon banner. im a yanfei main btw so there's no actual sig weapon alternative, i really need lost prayer. hope it comes back eventually
Yeah.. Gacha and lootboxes is the most predatory tactic in videogame revenue. It's insane how f2p games usually make a lot more revenue than high quality games that are fully fleshed out and bought at an initial set price. But it's the same reason why Casino's have always been popular, even though the house always wins.. I guess a lot of people find gambling fun or addicting in nature. That's why I play genshin casually, and don't spend money (unless I buy a few welkins for genesis crystals to save up and buy skins). Skins in genshin are also pretty expensive, but I've planned ahead and bought them at a discount because leaks helped me know about their skin ahead of time.
@SunnyHikikOmori Yeah it is extremely predatory. Gacha games in general, are just less regulated casinos that actually don't give you anything of real tangible value if you win.
@TanjorineTangerine Is 160 pulls not around what you need to guarantee a character? Is 300$ not 160 pulls or is there something I'm missing? Or did fudge the math in the intro
I pulled nothing but Ambers while going for Beacon. She went from dead-last of my tutorial characters (Lisa/Kaeya are both C5, exclusively from glittershop, while Amber was C1 from one of my earliest standard pulls)), to be the first one to C6.
same. I've lost like 8 5050s in a row and I watched my friend go into this patch and pull chiori winning every 5050 and getting so many off pities that he got c6r1 in under 300 pulls
Mihoyo can smell when someone is streaming so they will give them early 5 stars if the person spends money as a form of publicity so we all spend money in the game. I've already lost several 50/50 on my 90th wish so I'm not gonna give them a cent even if I win the lottery tomorrow
There's actually a pull theory someone came up with that realistically, every time this banner pops up, you only need 90 wishes saved up. Spend 20, and if you don't get a 5* stop. If you do and you lose the 50/50, you'll have enough wishes (and can realistically get more) to snipe the guarantee. Even if it's 20 pity and you might not make use of it soon after this, it'll always count for future chronicled wishes. If you do get a 5* and win the 50/50, congrats. Idk I honestly just like the fact this banner is a thing. I've never gotten a Tighnari, and I've never rolled on the weapon banner in earnest, so this feels like a good alternative that lets me get things I've wanted but either couldn't have or had to skip.
I think it's a fair banner. Especially if you aim for weapon, it has less 1 fate point than the normal weapon banner. And as for character, i think it's pretty great since no other banner you can lose 50/50 to limited character lol.
I have consistently gotten bottom luck: 81 wishes loses 50/50, then 78 wishes to get to the desired character; 220 wishes when I want a weapon. Since week 1 of Genshin that’s been me. So piled up like 500 wishes for Furina and got to C3 within 40 wishes. I stopped there and didn’t get her weapon, but man that was freaky.
"hey guys im gonna spend $300 on this scam banner to show you how bad it is" *gets 5 five stars and 3 of htem were early* "guys i just got lucky dont wish on this banner" ahh truly one of the moments of all time
The only take away for this that the 4* has the Starters. But the Bad Thing on this is you either lost the 50/50 on the Standards, aggregious with the Weapons since it is a massive Pool than characters. TL:DR - Wish at your Expense, but not everyone is gonna be Lucky like this.
Yeah, I think the weapon part of the banner is a lot worse. Its cool that Dehyas/Tighnaris weapon are back, but something I forgot to mention was also how since weapon 5 stars have the same rarity as characters, you actually get less of them on this banner compared to the normal weapon banner. (Less chance for earlies and higher pity), so the avg number of wishes needed to acquire a desired weapon really isnt that much better than normal banner, it just is more predictable
Did people forget that wishes can be grinded organically? Having this banner running in rotation with other nation banners will allow people to pull for the EXACT character they want guaranteed- Yes, it's a lot of grinding, but you'll never have to grind for that amount again unless you want constellations. And even then! There's STILL a good chance of getting a valuable 5-star if you didn't get the exact one you wanted. If anything, with a little patience, this banner is a godsend.
I actually got my very first Kaeya con on this banner (and C4 Lisa, I never bought a Lisa con, she just loves me for some reason) as well as Jean (won the 50/50) so I'm pretty happy with my results as well!
I wanted Jean. My main has been Jeanless for 3 years. I got Jean... and Eula. I only planned for Jean. and They use the same mats. I wish this banner lasted the whole patch, but I dont mind it. Its bandaid to the banner issue.
I honestly dont think the average player thinks that much into the details of how the gacha system works, and it this case the subtle difference of how the guarantee works in particular can screw people over.
Honestly ik this is wishful thinking but I hope some time in the future they put the old event weapons in the banner for this who missed it. And then the old players could also get multiple copies for different characters. Like not going to crazy with how recent but I feel like it realistic to have the event weapons from 1.0-1.9 on that particular banner.
I see it as a more stream lined standard banner used for getting characters that no longer have their own banners and the characters that they play to stuff in the standard. People are complaining to just complain at this point, if you don't want to pull on it then don't
if the second half of 4.X banners had been as dead as the second half of 3.X (to me), Id definitely have pulled for beacon for dehya today. Unfortunately I will probably want both arlechino and clorinde, so I'm back to saving :( I hope beacon is going to be a recurring weapon on this banner though. Either way, the fact that its obtainable again is a win to me. edit: I wonder if staff of scarlet sands will be on an equivalent sumeru chronicle banner lol. Cyno seems like a likely appearance after all
I’m pretty sure they don’t let you change your mind on the fate points so you can’t cheese the system for constellations. Say you pull with your course set on Klee, then lose your 50/50 to albedo. If you could change and keep your point, you could then switch your course to albedo and get a free guaranteed C1. It’s still pretty stupid since the chances of that happening here are far less than in the weapon banner, where it actually makes sense that you wouldn’t be able to change course, but if you’re wondering why, that’s probably it.
Yeah it is just typical gacha design stuff. Ultimately imo it is the main thing preventing this banner from being safe to wish on for many players (non-savers notably), regardless of Hoyo's reasoning for making it this way.
5:11 this has been happening when i open the wishing screen. It'll be Hu tao for a split second before switching back to the character i selected (albedo) so maybe Hu tao is next for this banner
I thought that the pity went away at the end of the banner so when banner is over ,the next time this banner comes again you have to start at 0 pulls towards pity
Like the only thing they could do better if the fate point stayed, and this would've been preferably the best banner, or even if the banner was permanent. That and also if we could use both types of fate it's just a dream come true but knowing hoyo i can just dream.
The thing I'm most tempted by is Hunter's Path since this is the first time its ever come back. Idk maybe it will keep coming back in this banner from now on tho since Tighnari can never be on the limited banner again, so I should probably wait to see lol
Yeah if you use and like Tighnari a lot it may be worthwhile, but only go for it if you have enough to guarantee it. Would feel terrible to spend s pities worth of 5 stars and get something useless for you
I heard some players pull for this banner. To my surprise they don't feel the disappointment of losing the 50/50. Unlike the Event Banners. In fact they rather wish on this banner than to wish on Chiori's or Itto's banner.
I pulled for Klee with 90 wishes! It was my biggest risk since I didn't spend any money. I can't remember if my friend had given me a welkin at the time or something, but most of it was my hard work. I had never won a 50/50 until this banner! I thankfully brought home Klee, but it took almost all of my wishes. So, I was sad that I barely had any left over, but I was ultimately happy with what I had gotten. I really love the concept with losing your 50/50 to another limited character. Say it was Liyue characters and while pulling for Ganyu you got Hu Tao! I think that part is cool, but you definitely need to make sure you have the right amount to guarantee your character or weapon. I like the idea of this banner, but I agree about the fate point part. It's probably because it has limited characters, and they don't want it to be so easy to get them all or something.
when assessing gem value I only on the first time bonus value. I ain't spending 100 on 8k gems. It's not even worth it for the 13k, but at least there's a world where I can justify some of the purchases. Say the 20 or 40 dollar ones if you happen to be just that amount of pulls away from a guarantee as the banner is ending. anyway, not to get too far off, but only someone who hates money would actually spend that much on pulls that guarantee so little. I'm actually surprised to this day that the top bundle doesn't just always give 16k. Nevermind those who whale out and literally spend 100 bucks on 6 ten pulls.
Edit - yes pls do Eula videos. I just got her and Dehya’s claymore as well from this banner. Im also thinking of doing plunge Eula. Would love to see how you build her etc.
I wanted the Song of Pines (or whatever it is called). I also needed a sac sword. In 7 pulls I got a Gravestone and a sac sword. And yes, the gravestone is something I can use. So no complaints
this banner is actually really good, its not for players who spend a lot since they most likely have everything on the banner already, but if you are f2p its quite good, or if you missed certain banners etc.
i got wolfs gravestone for Eula, and just switched the path to Eula for her c1 since the pity stays lol. its definitely not a good system in terms of rewards though
14:30 that's what I wanted to know... when the possible Chronological event might come. I hope for the Mondtshat Chronological banner to come after a few more other region chronological banners had their turn, I don't mind if its 4-5-6 months they bring this sort of banner, it's great for dead patches. I really want to C3 my Diluc by saving up EXTRA wishes.
Its a new opporunity to get standard 5*-s constellation and old characters while potentially losing your 50/50 to a limited character, also they bringed back weapons what you couldnt get otherwise and instead of the weapon banner scam you can get the weapon earlier. This banner is not a scam if you understand you should ONLY pull on this if you have enough to guarantee what you want... Also for new players it can help to get more limited 5*-s potentially. And next one is going to be liyue and it has a lot of good but old characters like Hu Tao, Yelan, Ganyu, etc, also Inazuma is a huge W. Idk what they are gonna do with Sumeru and Fontaine (since there is not enough characters who had 3 banners but there are also really good characters) and in the future its gonna be even better and crazier, when people already saved up a lot + new players can get better characters and stuff. I know people are mad about the fate point system, but its fair tbh... And its a gacha game and why would they make an absolutely cracked banner without any catch? Also since we know characters will appear on this, we might as well save easier (it wasnt a problem for me but for others...) since we know more and more characters will be qualified for this banner so we might only get the newest characters we like and saving for a good chronicled banner. If you want something you can save up for months and after your primos/interwined fates starts to stack up you might aswell forget about them. But yeah only wish on this if you 100% need it and you have enough to max out the pity.
To those hunting for starter 4 star constellations, they’re all in rotation in Paimon bargain’s! It takes fate points, but it’s the most effective way to get constellations for them!
Yeah for sure. Im dumb and forgot to buy Kaeya in december though... Also unfortunate that it would take 3 YEARS to get C6 of a starter, assuming you remember and are able to get them from the shop every 6 months lol
I hope future Chronicles are better. I love the 3 characters here…but I’d be lying if I said they were appealing characters to build. Klee is “fine”, Eula has big damage but doesn’t have a lot of support for her playstyle, and Albedo is kinda all over the place AND Chiori just got released and she basically does his job but a lot more comfy.
I was just surprised that it lasts half a patch after all. What will we get in another half? Nothing? I guess they just did this because they really wanted to play with fomo again.
i honestly believe there's a quota in banners,like at first i was like "im just bluffing or sum sht" but when it occured more than 10 times,no sht,now everytime a banner has "lesser sales" or people are uninterested in,thats the banner i like,i got tighnari weapon AND dehya weapon in 10 pulls and in 4.4 i got xianyun AND her weapon (none is guaranteed) in like 50 pulls
A banner where you can’t lose 50 50 to qiqi is already a win. Knowing that only characters with 3 reruns can showup on this banner is kinda unfortunate and i dont think we are getting sumeru event wish for a year at least
this banner can be helpfull when it comes to weapons cuz you only need 1 fate point, so if good weapons end up on themed banner you can get them for less than on weapon banner
I think the new banner is great if you wanted a character that almost never gets featured in limited, you just got to save up tho I also suggest only doing singles, if you do 10 pulls and get double but featured first and decide to stop wishing it's kind of a waste as fate point doesnt carry over
I say, if you have enough wishes then WISH on the banner. if you don't then wait until their actual rerun to guarantee (of course the tighnari and dehya limited weapon does not count if you want them, wish for them on the banner) the banner is not worth for f2p unless people save for a long while. and hopefully there'll be more / better characters in the next chronicled wish banner (assuming there will be in 4.6)
This banner It’s honestly so good cuz it’s like your wishing for the character but have a chance of loosing to another 5star not only standard which makes it better and the 4 starts are Mondstad characters which are good the and then the weapon only need one lost to guarantee it and you can lose to other better characters but I do say it’s only bad cuz it’s a Monstatd banner if it was Lihue it be great so can’t wait for Liyue’s banner or inazuma
Your luck was basically mine at two different points on the weapon banner. 2-3 5* within 20 pulls or so, all being different and new weapons (other event weapon + regular pool) so my chosen weapon on the epitomized path actually got the fate points to guarantee the new pull. I did try one 10-pull for the heck of it on the Chronicled Wish banner, and only got a Favonius Codex (I already have 2 that are R5)... Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it since it's not worth the wishes for potential Kaeya/Amber/Lisa constellations (I'm gonna be C6 for all but Lisa in the next coming months anyway due to the shop), despite me wanting Mona and Albedo. It's probably good to do at least 1 pull on this banner to see if *maybe* just *maybe* your total wishes between 5* carries over to the next Chronicled Wish. So, it could work like the weapon banner in that regard, if you get normal luck/unlucky, thus requiring less wishes to be used at once the next time it pops up. I didn't see anything saying otherwise since it only mentions the fate point so I'd find it reasonable, it works that way on the other types of banners (ex. 50/90 pulls on character event wish made on Chiori's banner still means 50/90 pulls you have on Kazuha's banner, regardless of guaranteed banner pull or not, so you only need 40 wishes max for the next 5*). While I want Chiori, if I lose 50/50 on her banner, then I'll just save for the new Fatui Harbinger since I already have Neuvillette and Kazuha and I don't ever go for constellations that aren't Zhongli (nor weapon refinements period), and he's only C1 at that lol (v1.1 player here who rerolled for him, nonetheless)
I genuinely think that they increased the drop rates on this banner (likely temporarily) to drum up support for the new system, I got Klee in one 10 pull, I know a guy who got Diluc in one ten pull, and another person who got hunter’s path in two ten pulls- it just feels a little shady
I feel like it's just better for weapons since you need about 80 pulls less to get a guaranteed weapon. And also if you know that you won't change your mind and you've been waiting for a character for a long time then I don't think it's a bad banner. But I feel like it would be a lot better if your pull history would go over the next banner, imagine almost pulling a 5* but the banner updates and you loose all those pulls. (Well, if I remember it correctly that next this type of banner won't have the same history)
But you know it will return so it isn’t that bad. And wow you got so lucky 😅 that was amazing! You can get guarantee constellations for the free starting characters because they appear in the shop. If you play for 3 years then you can get C6 but it costs 41 wishes
i'm not sure if you mentioned this but you CANT get a weapon if you set your course for a character. and you can't get a character of your own set a course for a weapon. (it only applies to five starts of course)
i feel like its also better to wish on if you have a few characters you want like say you want eula but you also kinda want klee or albedo then if you lost theres still a chance you could get one you want
So basically, I really shouldn’t but if I want to get the c6 Mona of my f2p dreams this banner might be a good way to start on that - especially since I don’t have a bunch of the characters and weapons I could lose 50/50 to. I really really shouldn’t, but I could make worse decisions.
I've heard that wolves gravestone is actually pretty good on Eula and it is very versatile overall, but having a weapon with a crit stat would also be beneficial (especially if your artifacts aren't that good lol)
I’ve been wanting Eula so bad and I got excited to see her on this banner but I’m so busy with school stuff that i don’t have time to farm primos. Bye bye Eula :( Update : I GOT HER IN 20 PULLS WHAAAA
Yo crazy we both got 11 pity 5*s for weapon! I also routed to Beacon of the Reed Sea but got Hunter’s Path at 11 pity. It did actually take me going back up to pity to get Beacon, but I’m not mad because I got to see more 4*s along the way. Picked up an R5 of my first copies of Stringless & Fav GS, an Amber and Kaeya, and Bab’s C6. Only thing better woulda been some Benny cons but I’m not gonna be greedy. I’m just glad I still have a decent pool of wishes left, because while Kaveh now has a signature, I still really need his cons and Alhaitham’s signature too… but your luck’s kinda tempting me to try for a Diluc con lol

@@sumbunniii8721opinions
This channel is the epitome of do as I say, not as I do.
Man has more like than any of us
Pretty much lol
My words are louder than my actions.
Fact😂
THIS
The only value to this banner is 'hunters path' and 'beacon of the reed sea' weapons because they would never appear on any event banner anymore since the 5 stars those were meant for are standard banner 5 stars now.
Right
and also skyward harp is also preety good the fact that i can get that wepon with 180 pulls is preety pog
Yeah, its good to have ways to get them, and more options to get characters in general imo.
The weapon portion of this banner isnt all that much better than a normal weapon banner though, due to lower base chance for a 5 star and higher pity required compared to weapon banner, and a higher chance to get a standard weapon when you have no guarantee (50% this banner vs 25% on weapon banner). Will probably talk more about the weapon banner portion of this video in a Weapons Only video though
They might appear on sumeru regional banner too based on leaks. In like two months. It will be back every version for the second half of each version as of now
Cant wait for Jade Cutter when Liyue banner comes.
chronicled wish should stay for a whole patch...it was such a bummer finding out its only 3 weeks
Yeah I don't understand why it is only 20 days
Silver lining: it'll only take 20 days to see if it will immediately roll over to the next region or if it'll disappear for months on end.
@@gingervald8601 I hope it’s a rotation of every region cause I just want liyue and inazuma
Probably gonna be different every banner duration
Was hoping that the Chronicled Banner last after the current version is over. Then a new Banner with a different region theme will start once more.
New banner luck is pretty wild with this one LOL
3 single pulls and got hunters path for Tighnari on my alt and 50 pulls on main account gets me nothing 💀
@@thewanderingartistssame for me except it was 4 pulls and on my main lmao
@@thewanderingartists same I haven't gotten anything lol, all I want is Mona :')
My brother got Jean and Kaeya in his first 10 pull on it 😭
Got Eula and her weapon in 41 pulls, it's crazy
A Liyue or Inazuma themed Chronicled Wish would honestly have pretty high value. Like, imagine losing your 50/50 to characters like Kokomi, Ayaka, Yae Miko, Hu Tao, Ganyu, Tartaglia, etc.
Personally I would only pull on a Sumeru version cause I would be happy with anything lol
agreed. Hu tao has escaped my acc on every single rerun she's had & im saving for primordial jade cutter for kirara dps, so I'm probably gonna save a LOT for the liyue one :)
I would like one for sumeru, specially because i really want Kaveh, i don't have him yet, not getting a five star is fine if there's a Kaveh or two that comes with it
Yeah future versions could be way more interesting
the only character id be annoyed at losing 50/50 to on liyue banner would be ganyu bc i dont want any cons of her, but id so love to get hutaos c2 or keqing
I found funny that your extreme luck kinda undermined the message "Don't pull on this banner, it's a scam"
lol it's only a scam if you don't have enough wishes though. Otherwise it's better since you can lose to other limited characters or weapons. I lost to Klee and was a lot happier than when I lost to Qiqi on other banners LOL And then went to pity 3 times on the weapon banner... Now THAT is a scam xD
@@Ali_FuchsTHIS !
My God people are calling it a scam without explaining why it is .
If you save, you will get what you want ,is basically the same the limited character banner .
Everyone I see pull on the banner gets good pulls so it’s actually worth pulling on it
300 dollars, that's one week worth of groceries for my partner and I.
What is also worrisome that there will be kids or others thinking they're going to be lucky like Soluna.
I wouldn't say this banner is a scam like people say, but I would say this banner are made in such a way to drain your primoes or interwined fates. Thing will geta lot harder when you have nothing else that will reward you in game which incentivises you to pull out that plastic.
Groceries for 1 week cost 300 dollars? Wtf- 💀💀🙏
It’s worrisome 😢
For me, I think it's best to use maybe 10-20 wishes for the chronicaled wish banner per patch on weapons, then save the rest for limited. That way, you will still have wishes left for limited banners, and you will also eventually get a weapon on the chronicaled wish banner.
the only purpose of this banner is for people hunting for a certain character like eula or klee, whos banner hasnt been around in nearly a year, or albedo who hasnt been showcased in a year and a half
i also say its worth for people who want a specific standard character
as for the weapons, honestly not worth the price
i believe the fates disappear after the banner does aswell so you cant get your guaranteed of a specific one@@_Choco_
Congrats on your insane luck, I unfortunately had to go to pity twice to get my Albedo.
My condolences, your luck is what I was expecting going in. Id even pin your comment as an example if I didnt have the paimons bargains sponsor lol
@@Solunerra It's ok, I am usually super lucky so my luck will just return double the next time. :D I was glad to see you fgot super lucky on the banner, always nice to see!
liking this just to make sure more ppl see it b/c super lucky pull vids definitely skew ppl's perceptions.
It gets you whiplash and buyers regret.
Whiplash with Miles Teller and Jk Simmons?
I want to defend this banner by saying that i got albedo and my c6 bennett from this banner
Seriously though, it's basically just a normal limited banner except you choose who the 5* is, and you lose your 50/50 to eula instead of qiqi. And about the fate points, it's on you if you have to pull the second you get 160 primogems
@@Kaineplushdoesn’t the pity carry over and only the fate point resets?
@@s1lverstringsthe pity does not carry over.
The problem is a new separet banner. It's mean it will devide our primogems to three different banners. Espeically because you can'T even ignore this banner like the weapen banner, if you want some older charatcers. On the long run it is a pretty bad addition.
@@Kaineplush i'm pretty sure the pity stays.. those 50 wishes you spent won't disappear. the main difference is just that if you lose the 50/50 you don't have a guaranteed for the next time if you don't use it on the current banner. that's an okay reason to not like it but it's also easily avoidable by not.. well, gambling. yeah it's a gacha game but it has a pity system that a lot of others don't have, and people should keep this in mind when participating in genshin's gacha.
all in all i personally believe that this banner is a good addition to the game. it lets reruns come faster and for standard characters that people want to be guaranteed. people have been asking that for a really long time lol. also, weapons here are actually cheaper than the weapon banner. and also kaeya lisa amber are on here since it's a mondstadt banner. i'm not saying it's perfect or anything (i think it should last for the entire patch) but i don't think some of the common criticisms/complaints are really warranted?
My condolences on getting Albedo.
idk how its a "nothing change". for people who spend money on the game, you can guarantee yourself constellations for characters who will never run on a banner, and the weapons require half as many fate points to guarantee them. this is significant.
Its "mostly" a nothing change, not a "nothing change" (I think I said "mostly" in the video). Ultimately, it is good to have more options generally, but more options while getting the same amount of resources for free can make it even harder for a lot of players to decide what to do. I do like the ability to be able to purposefully get standard five stars, and do like the idea of being able to lose a 50/50 to limited five stars, and amber/lisa/kaeya cons being easier to get. But it is just more to wish on with the same amount of wishes to use (unless you spend money)
Weapon acquisition is not actually that much better btw, because the base rate is higher on weapon banner, and pity is lower, not to mention if either of the limited banner five star weapons are valuable, there is a high chance of getting something useful if you only have one pities worth of wishes.
@@Solunerra so basically you're saying "its unfriendly to people who don't spend money" okay. Welcome to Genshin Impact.
for the people who do spend money, this change is both significant and beneficial.
@@FlurryOwOEven at that most players look for specific units and less than a year of grind makes the games become easy.
It would be nice to have more pulls ,but the game isn't forcing us to pull units .
My biggest disappointment with this banner is that it doesnt last long enough. It should last long enough to cover both the first and second half of the main banner. Then obviously the fact that the fate point dont carry over. You really have to plan unless your paying a couple 100. I want to wish on it but I have to be in incredibly fortunate position to do so. :/
yeaa I've spent around 300 pulls on here and it's addicting :p you're just like "ok but lemme get this too", then, "but i have a fate point i can't miss it" and end up spending 40k primos
Has there been any news on if its going to come back?
Big gz on that crazy luck, congrats on Dehya's best weapon. Also don't sleep too much on gravestone it is a good weapon still. my Gaming loves it.
Yeah I shouldve mentioned in the video that especially with MH existing the relative value of non crit weapons has gone up. So gravestone providing a wack ton of atk, including the semi inconsistent team atk% buff, makes it very relevant
If your fate point carried over, the banner would be worthwhile. As it is, it's just another trap unless you have the wishes/money to get the character you want that banner.
I think the banner is great for players who started late to catch up. I also believe this is just the first one, so I am hoping that after this one, the banner will have a lot more older limited characters rather than half of them being from the standard banner
i started late and really want ganyu, and it would be a real pain if she appeared on a chronicled banner than a normal limited event banner. see if i dont save 180 wishes i might just not get her. if she however appears on a rate up limited normal banner and i have pity saved (guaranteed even). it''d be so much better in my case. so this isn't really new player friendly IMO
@@chichi8517it's the same with the limited character banner. Only difference is the fate points not carrying over to the next banner .
yep, it's just Mondstadt issue for being oldest region with just 3 limitted 5* characters (from 1.x era). Seriouisly why Hoyo couldn't release new legendary characters from that region like they did with Liyue and Inazuma in following versions.
5:12 this banner is having visual bugs lmao first when I saw the banner, it showed Hu Tao for half second instead of Eula 😹
SAME HAPPENED TO ME😭😊
Well so we're gonna get hutao on the liyue themed chronicle banner
I'm still sticking with normal event banner because having those specific 4 star supports for the character youre pulling is actually better than getting 4 stars that you dont need. Like pulling for eula, you can potentially get more cons for mika etc.
Yeah I agree, though I dunno if its likely for the likes of Eula/Klee/Albedo to get their own reruns outside of this banner now…
Who plays Mika with Eula
But you can get og Kayea , Lisa , Amber, it's a better chance to get them while pulling for someone
@@The-Biggest-Shoto-Hater Those who play Furina with Eula. Perfect synergy.
@@user-rm3itr40rnd fair but isn't bennett better?
I only wished three times on this banner and got Tighnari's weapon, my luck is gone for this year lmao
All I can say is 'verify file integrity'.
i love when you do these experiments on our behalf lol. ....all thoughhh some kaeya cons are tempting
You are literally living my dream with getting Diluc and Wolf's Gravestone! Wish this were me
I really hope he will appear on this banner again because he's my favorite character and I haven't prepared AT ALL for this 😭
One of the luckiest pull i’ve ever seen 😮 , all the money was worth it soluna!
The amount of money I spent is still a lot ($160, even with the free topup from Paimons Bargains), so I dunno if Id say “worthwhile” when you compare that on a cost level to what else it can buy you.
For me it was ultimately a business decision in this instance since it is likely I either make money or at least get close to breaking even.
On a measurable level what I got for what would cost most players $240+ USD, though? That’s a usable phone type of money, or 4 other $60 games, or savings for future big purchases. Getting lucky with gambling makes it FEEL more worthwhile, but on an objective level imo its not. Which is what I hope to illustrate by making this kind of video. My hope is to show people what $xx gets you to make people see how low value it is, as I can afford it as a simple business cost that could even make me money, but many players shouldnt be spending the money. I know this approach may backfire and make some people wish more, but my hope is I help people at least plan how they spend their wishes more by making these videos, so the gacha system hurts less. Sorry for the short rant, you just got me thinking lol
this banner's perfect for the very specific and unlikely case of having played for years without getting a particular standard character or weapon. if arlecchino wasn't on the way i'd probably wish on it for lost prayer, considering i've gone 3 years without one and it's harder to get from a weapon banner. im a yanfei main btw so there's no actual sig weapon alternative, i really need lost prayer. hope it comes back eventually
Yeah I think that is one of the better aspects of this banner
i like that there are only mondstadt 4 star weapons and characters on the banner! I'm excited for the sumeru one it'll be cracked
I’m crying you’re so nonchalant about this 😭
300$ to guarantee a character in a video game is still absolutely insane. I really, really dislike how normalized stuff like that is getting.
Yeah.. Gacha and lootboxes is the most predatory tactic in videogame revenue. It's insane how f2p games usually make a lot more revenue than high quality games that are fully fleshed out and bought at an initial set price.
But it's the same reason why Casino's have always been popular, even though the house always wins.. I guess a lot of people find gambling fun or addicting in nature.
That's why I play genshin casually, and don't spend money (unless I buy a few welkins for genesis crystals to save up and buy skins). Skins in genshin are also pretty expensive, but I've planned ahead and bought them at a discount because leaks helped me know about their skin ahead of time.
@SunnyHikikOmori Yeah it is extremely predatory. Gacha games in general, are just less regulated casinos that actually don't give you anything of real tangible value if you win.
Except it's not $300 to guarantee a character
@TanjorineTangerine Is 160 pulls not around what you need to guarantee a character? Is 300$ not 160 pulls or is there something I'm missing? Or did fudge the math in the intro
@@TanjorineTangerineit is, 80-90 wishes only gets you to the point of a 50/50 not a guarantie.
I pulled nothing but Ambers while going for Beacon. She went from dead-last of my tutorial characters (Lisa/Kaeya are both C5, exclusively from glittershop, while Amber was C1 from one of my earliest standard pulls)), to be the first one to C6.
I wish I had this luck 😢it's painful to lose every 50/50 and then come in and see this
I never got a single early :(
I feel u always hard petty once soft petty... F2p 💔
same. I've lost like 8 5050s in a row and I watched my friend go into this patch and pull chiori winning every 5050 and getting so many off pities that he got c6r1 in under 300 pulls
so thats where all those earlies went..
Gotta love how Mihoyo was like: GIVE HIM EXTREME LUCK SO HIS VIEWERS ARE TEMPTED TO PULL!
Went for Hunter's path. Got it after 100 pulls so I'm quite satisfied except for the fact that I forgot to farm the weapon materials.
Nice! Not bad at all
Mihoyo can smell when someone is streaming so they will give them early 5 stars if the person spends money as a form of publicity so we all spend money in the game.
I've already lost several 50/50 on my 90th wish so I'm not gonna give them a cent even if I win the lottery tomorrow
There's actually a pull theory someone came up with that realistically, every time this banner pops up, you only need 90 wishes saved up. Spend 20, and if you don't get a 5* stop. If you do and you lose the 50/50, you'll have enough wishes (and can realistically get more) to snipe the guarantee. Even if it's 20 pity and you might not make use of it soon after this, it'll always count for future chronicled wishes. If you do get a 5* and win the 50/50, congrats.
Idk I honestly just like the fact this banner is a thing. I've never gotten a Tighnari, and I've never rolled on the weapon banner in earnest, so this feels like a good alternative that lets me get things I've wanted but either couldn't have or had to skip.
I think it's a fair banner.
Especially if you aim for weapon, it has less 1 fate point than the normal weapon banner.
And as for character, i think it's pretty great since no other banner you can lose 50/50 to limited character lol.
From that point on I will only pull on this banner. I don’t play Genshin as often as I used to and getting the characters I missed sounds fun
Yeah its a cool banner for players like you. More options is good. I hope they start running the banner every patch at least, but we shall see
Sounds kinda rough cause there's a chance u just wont get anyone except standard 😭 especially if u dont play much so cant save up in time to guarantee
@@toodled1340 I don’t really mind. I already have a lot of characters because I’ve been playing since 5 months after genshins release
I have consistently gotten bottom luck: 81 wishes loses 50/50, then 78 wishes to get to the desired character; 220 wishes when I want a weapon. Since week 1 of Genshin that’s been me. So piled up like 500 wishes for Furina and got to C3 within 40 wishes. I stopped there and didn’t get her weapon, but man that was freaky.
Thats insane lol. Now you got plenty left for all the other characters
The gacha system was so nice to you especially with the weapons holy Christ
Never thought id hear "lose the 50/50 to klee or albedo"
Fr never ever
Three 5 stars in 40 wishes I'm tweaking
"hey guys im gonna spend $300 on this scam banner to show you how bad it is" *gets 5 five stars and 3 of htem were early* "guys i just got lucky dont wish on this banner" ahh truly one of the moments of all time
The only take away for this that the 4* has the Starters. But the Bad Thing on this is you either lost the 50/50 on the Standards, aggregious with the Weapons since it is a massive Pool than characters.
TL:DR - Wish at your Expense, but not everyone is gonna be Lucky like this.
Yeah, I think the weapon part of the banner is a lot worse. Its cool that Dehyas/Tighnaris weapon are back, but something I forgot to mention was also how since weapon 5 stars have the same rarity as characters, you actually get less of them on this banner compared to the normal weapon banner. (Less chance for earlies and higher pity), so the avg number of wishes needed to acquire a desired weapon really isnt that much better than normal banner, it just is more predictable
Did people forget that wishes can be grinded organically? Having this banner running in rotation with other nation banners will allow people to pull for the EXACT character they want guaranteed- Yes, it's a lot of grinding, but you'll never have to grind for that amount again unless you want constellations. And even then! There's STILL a good chance of getting a valuable 5-star if you didn't get the exact one you wanted. If anything, with a little patience, this banner is a godsend.
I actually got my very first Kaeya con on this banner (and C4 Lisa, I never bought a Lisa con, she just loves me for some reason) as well as Jean (won the 50/50) so I'm pretty happy with my results as well!
I wanted Jean. My main has been Jeanless for 3 years. I got Jean... and Eula. I only planned for Jean. and They use the same mats. I wish this banner lasted the whole patch, but I dont mind it. Its bandaid to the banner issue.
A good title would've been "Proving the new banner is a scam (goes wrong)".
Thanks for explaining how it works, I don't read lol
I do like that title lol. For now this title clearly seems to be working, but I may change it later haha
I'm never gonna give this greedy company 300 tbh even if I was making videos tbh to show people the banner like I think they get how it works anyway
I honestly dont think the average player thinks that much into the details of how the gacha system works, and it this case the subtle difference of how the guarantee works in particular can screw people over.
Honestly ik this is wishful thinking but I hope some time in the future they put the old event weapons in the banner for this who missed it. And then the old players could also get multiple copies for different characters. Like not going to crazy with how recent but I feel like it realistic to have the event weapons from 1.0-1.9 on that particular banner.
I see it as a more stream lined standard banner used for getting characters that no longer have their own banners and the characters that they play to stuff in the standard. People are complaining to just complain at this point, if you don't want to pull on it then don't
if the second half of 4.X banners had been as dead as the second half of 3.X (to me), Id definitely have pulled for beacon for dehya today. Unfortunately I will probably want both arlechino and clorinde, so I'm back to saving :( I hope beacon is going to be a recurring weapon on this banner though. Either way, the fact that its obtainable again is a win to me.
edit: I wonder if staff of scarlet sands will be on an equivalent sumeru chronicle banner lol. Cyno seems like a likely appearance after all
I'm a bit confused on this banner. Very glad I got to see this video. Thank you :D!
I’m pretty sure they don’t let you change your mind on the fate points so you can’t cheese the system for constellations. Say you pull with your course set on Klee, then lose your 50/50 to albedo. If you could change and keep your point, you could then switch your course to albedo and get a free guaranteed C1. It’s still pretty stupid since the chances of that happening here are far less than in the weapon banner, where it actually makes sense that you wouldn’t be able to change course, but if you’re wondering why, that’s probably it.
Yeah it is just typical gacha design stuff. Ultimately imo it is the main thing preventing this banner from being safe to wish on for many players (non-savers notably), regardless of Hoyo's reasoning for making it this way.
5:11 this has been happening when i open the wishing screen. It'll be Hu tao for a split second before switching back to the character i selected (albedo) so maybe Hu tao is next for this banner
I also saw zhongli once
I thought that the pity went away at the end of the banner so when banner is over ,the next time this banner comes again you have to start at 0 pulls towards pity
8:00 BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wth i recognize i'm really freaking lucky, but duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!! Hoyo LOADED your wishes!!!!
As far as early five stars go, I definitely think it is the luckiest Ive gotten. If only this was Arlecchinos banner...
@@Solunerra i'll be going c1r1 and most likely all f2p, can't wait!!! I've seen her full gameplay and it's gonna be busted AF
Like the only thing they could do better if the fate point stayed, and this would've been preferably the best banner, or even if the banner was permanent. That and also if we could use both types of fate it's just a dream come true but knowing hoyo i can just dream.
The thing I'm most tempted by is Hunter's Path since this is the first time its ever come back. Idk maybe it will keep coming back in this banner from now on tho since Tighnari can never be on the limited banner again, so I should probably wait to see lol
Tighnari bow having a rerun is something I am more interested in.
Yeah if you use and like Tighnari a lot it may be worthwhile, but only go for it if you have enough to guarantee it. Would feel terrible to spend s pities worth of 5 stars and get something useless for you
You convinced me now so im gonna blow all my neuvj funds on this banner
I presume you are joking but just in case, please dont lol. Unless you really want one of these characters or weapons over Neuvi I guess
As a Keqing main who didnt wish on her first banner, I am now copium full saving for Liyue Chronicle
I heard some players pull for this banner. To my surprise they don't feel the disappointment of losing the 50/50. Unlike the Event Banners.
In fact they rather wish on this banner than to wish on Chiori's or Itto's banner.
I pulled for Klee with 90 wishes! It was my biggest risk since I didn't spend any money. I can't remember if my friend had given me a welkin at the time or something, but most of it was my hard work. I had never won a 50/50 until this banner! I thankfully brought home Klee, but it took almost all of my wishes. So, I was sad that I barely had any left over, but I was ultimately happy with what I had gotten. I really love the concept with losing your 50/50 to another limited character. Say it was Liyue characters and while pulling for Ganyu you got Hu Tao! I think that part is cool, but you definitely need to make sure you have the right amount to guarantee your character or weapon. I like the idea of this banner, but I agree about the fate point part. It's probably because it has limited characters, and they don't want it to be so easy to get them all or something.
in the banner are only mondstadt character, so the chance to finaly get kaeya lisa and amber is higher then usual
when assessing gem value I only on the first time bonus value. I ain't spending 100 on 8k gems. It's not even worth it for the 13k, but at least there's a world where I can justify some of the purchases. Say the 20 or 40 dollar ones if you happen to be just that amount of pulls away from a guarantee as the banner is ending. anyway, not to get too far off, but only someone who hates money would actually spend that much on pulls that guarantee so little. I'm actually surprised to this day that the top bundle doesn't just always give 16k. Nevermind those who whale out and literally spend 100 bucks on 6 ten pulls.
LMAO!!! Niiice. This was fun to watch. Congrats on your luck 🍀
Edit - yes pls do Eula videos. I just got her and Dehya’s claymore as well from this banner. Im also thinking of doing plunge Eula. Would love to see how you build her etc.
I wanted the Song of Pines (or whatever it is called). I also needed a sac sword. In 7 pulls I got a Gravestone and a sac sword. And yes, the gravestone is something I can use. So no complaints
this banner is actually really good, its not for players who spend a lot since they most likely have everything on the banner already, but if you are f2p its quite good, or if you missed certain banners etc.
If you think about it... they might do a liyue chronicled wish and i'm hypeee about it
i got wolfs gravestone for Eula, and just switched the path to Eula for her c1 since the pity stays lol. its definitely not a good system in terms of rewards though
14:30 that's what I wanted to know... when the possible Chronological event might come. I hope for the Mondtshat Chronological banner to come after a few more other region chronological banners had their turn, I don't mind if its 4-5-6 months they bring this sort of banner, it's great for dead patches. I really want to C3 my Diluc by saving up EXTRA wishes.
I see so many people having amazing luck on this banner that it makes it hard to ignore fckkkkk
Its a new opporunity to get standard 5*-s constellation and old characters while potentially losing your 50/50 to a limited character, also they bringed back weapons what you couldnt get otherwise and instead of the weapon banner scam you can get the weapon earlier. This banner is not a scam if you understand you should ONLY pull on this if you have enough to guarantee what you want... Also for new players it can help to get more limited 5*-s potentially. And next one is going to be liyue and it has a lot of good but old characters like Hu Tao, Yelan, Ganyu, etc, also Inazuma is a huge W. Idk what they are gonna do with Sumeru and Fontaine (since there is not enough characters who had 3 banners but there are also really good characters) and in the future its gonna be even better and crazier, when people already saved up a lot + new players can get better characters and stuff.
I know people are mad about the fate point system, but its fair tbh... And its a gacha game and why would they make an absolutely cracked banner without any catch? Also since we know characters will appear on this, we might as well save easier (it wasnt a problem for me but for others...) since we know more and more characters will be qualified for this banner so we might only get the newest characters we like and saving for a good chronicled banner.
If you want something you can save up for months and after your primos/interwined fates starts to stack up you might aswell forget about them.
But yeah only wish on this if you 100% need it and you have enough to max out the pity.
I’ve seen a lot of people getting really lucky on this banner weirdly. Probably just a select few lucky people, but still something to mention.
To those hunting for starter 4 star constellations, they’re all in rotation in Paimon bargain’s! It takes fate points, but it’s the most effective way to get constellations for them!
Yeah for sure. Im dumb and forgot to buy Kaeya in december though... Also unfortunate that it would take 3 YEARS to get C6 of a starter, assuming you remember and are able to get them from the shop every 6 months lol
I hope future Chronicles are better. I love the 3 characters here…but I’d be lying if I said they were appealing characters to build. Klee is “fine”, Eula has big damage but doesn’t have a lot of support for her playstyle, and Albedo is kinda all over the place AND Chiori just got released and she basically does his job but a lot more comfy.
I was just surprised that it lasts half a patch after all. What will we get in another half? Nothing? I guess they just did this because they really wanted to play with fomo again.
i honestly believe there's a quota in banners,like at first i was like "im just bluffing or sum sht" but when it occured more than 10 times,no sht,now everytime a banner has "lesser sales" or people are uninterested in,thats the banner i like,i got tighnari weapon AND dehya weapon in 10 pulls and in 4.4 i got xianyun AND her weapon (none is guaranteed) in like 50 pulls
A banner where you can’t lose 50 50 to qiqi is already a win. Knowing that only characters with 3 reruns can showup on this banner is kinda unfortunate and i dont think we are getting sumeru event wish for a year at least
spare some luck for the rest of us
this banner can be helpfull when it comes to weapons cuz you only need 1 fate point, so if good weapons end up on themed banner you can get them for less than on weapon banner
I think the new banner is great if you wanted a character that almost never gets featured in limited, you just got to save up tho
I also suggest only doing singles, if you do 10 pulls and get double but featured first and decide to stop wishing it's kind of a waste as fate point doesnt carry over
I really don't like how it takes intertwined fates but I do appreciate how it gives you the option to lose 50 50 to someone with good cons
I say, if you have enough wishes then WISH on the banner. if you don't then wait until their actual rerun to guarantee (of course the tighnari and dehya limited weapon does not count if you want them, wish for them on the banner) the banner is not worth for f2p unless people save for a long while. and hopefully there'll be more / better characters in the next chronicled wish banner (assuming there will be in 4.6)
This banner It’s honestly so good cuz it’s like your wishing for the character but have a chance of loosing to another 5star not only standard which makes it better and the 4 starts are Mondstad characters which are good the and then the weapon only need one lost to guarantee it and you can lose to other better characters but I do say it’s only bad cuz it’s a Monstatd banner if it was Lihue it be great so can’t wait for Liyue’s banner or inazuma
Your luck was basically mine at two different points on the weapon banner. 2-3 5* within 20 pulls or so, all being different and new weapons (other event weapon + regular pool) so my chosen weapon on the epitomized path actually got the fate points to guarantee the new pull.
I did try one 10-pull for the heck of it on the Chronicled Wish banner, and only got a Favonius Codex (I already have 2 that are R5)... Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it since it's not worth the wishes for potential Kaeya/Amber/Lisa constellations (I'm gonna be C6 for all but Lisa in the next coming months anyway due to the shop), despite me wanting Mona and Albedo. It's probably good to do at least 1 pull on this banner to see if *maybe* just *maybe* your total wishes between 5* carries over to the next Chronicled Wish. So, it could work like the weapon banner in that regard, if you get normal luck/unlucky, thus requiring less wishes to be used at once the next time it pops up. I didn't see anything saying otherwise since it only mentions the fate point so I'd find it reasonable, it works that way on the other types of banners (ex. 50/90 pulls on character event wish made on Chiori's banner still means 50/90 pulls you have on Kazuha's banner, regardless of guaranteed banner pull or not, so you only need 40 wishes max for the next 5*).
While I want Chiori, if I lose 50/50 on her banner, then I'll just save for the new Fatui Harbinger since I already have Neuvillette and Kazuha and I don't ever go for constellations that aren't Zhongli (nor weapon refinements period), and he's only C1 at that lol (v1.1 player here who rerolled for him, nonetheless)
I needed stardust so I did a 10 pull on the new banner and got Kaeya, I am happy
It was you that stole my Kaeya!
I genuinely think that they increased the drop rates on this banner (likely temporarily) to drum up support for the new system, I got Klee in one 10 pull, I know a guy who got Diluc in one ten pull, and another person who got hunter’s path in two ten pulls- it just feels a little shady
I feel like it's just better for weapons since you need about 80 pulls less to get a guaranteed weapon. And also if you know that you won't change your mind and you've been waiting for a character for a long time then I don't think it's a bad banner. But I feel like it would be a lot better if your pull history would go over the next banner, imagine almost pulling a 5* but the banner updates and you loose all those pulls. (Well, if I remember it correctly that next this type of banner won't have the same history)
But you know it will return so it isn’t that bad. And wow you got so lucky 😅 that was amazing!
You can get guarantee constellations for the free starting characters because they appear in the shop. If you play for 3 years then you can get C6 but it costs 41 wishes
Yeah, I forgot about getting the Kaeya constellation last December…
i'm not sure if you mentioned this but you CANT get a weapon if you set your course for a character. and you can't get a character of your own set a course for a weapon. (it only applies to five starts of course)
i feel like its also better to wish on if you have a few characters you want like say you want eula but you also kinda want klee or albedo then if you lost theres still a chance you could get one you want
4:34 wow that was instant reverse karma over there
So basically, I really shouldn’t but if I want to get the c6 Mona of my f2p dreams this banner might be a good way to start on that - especially since I don’t have a bunch of the characters and weapons I could lose 50/50 to. I really really shouldn’t, but I could make worse decisions.
back to back 10 pulls having a 5 star weapon in each is so fire
* says the banner is not good*
game: "anyways, here is your 2nd early 5 star"
relatable pulls, true and real
I've heard that wolves gravestone is actually pretty good on Eula and it is very versatile overall, but having a weapon with a crit stat would also be beneficial (especially if your artifacts aren't that good lol)
Yeah especially with MH artifacts giving so much free crit Gravestone is potentially a very good option
I would wish on this banner but i cant imagine losing my 50/50 to eula or something
I’ve been wanting Eula so bad and I got excited to see her on this banner but I’m so busy with school stuff that i don’t have time to farm primos. Bye bye Eula :(
Update : I GOT HER IN 20 PULLS WHAAAA
I'd say use it for weapons more than characters because it takes a long time waiting for the right weapon
Yo crazy we both got 11 pity 5*s for weapon! I also routed to Beacon of the Reed Sea but got Hunter’s Path at 11 pity. It did actually take me going back up to pity to get Beacon, but I’m not mad because I got to see more 4*s along the way. Picked up an R5 of my first copies of Stringless & Fav GS, an Amber and Kaeya, and Bab’s C6. Only thing better woulda been some Benny cons but I’m not gonna be greedy. I’m just glad I still have a decent pool of wishes left, because while Kaveh now has a signature, I still really need his cons and Alhaitham’s signature too… but your luck’s kinda tempting me to try for a Diluc con lol
