@@SolunerraStandard wishes would be terrible. If you're stuck waiting for a CW rerun, you're sitting on 180 standard wishes. That's wasted resources compared to keeping it all on acquainted fates and being able to switch your primos on the fly for what you actually want at the time.
@@Gacha_Nazrinofficial crazy how the beginner wish for this game is a guarenteed noelle, when hsr, zzz, and wuwa all give you a 5 star for the beginner banner lol.
@@croper0casually ignoring that the standard characters in those games arent even used by anybody these days aside from Bronya/Himeko(and even bronya is losing steam now so even she's looking like less of a worthwhile pick than she did when the game first launched) and Verina exactly lmao
The recent FTC ruling against Hoyo might see some changes brought to the banner system, but I wouldn't expect those changes to be implemented before 6.0.
The real reason why Chronicled Wish currently really frustrates me is because I'd been hanging onto my guaranteed for a long while under the assumption that the character I want would be rerunning on an event banner like normal. Instead, now I have to spend up to double the wishes on CW, probably getting a character that I'd be less than happy with, and have to deal with the same system again if I want a chance at the sig weapon as well.
Normally id agree with you, but last chronicled wish i wanted mona because i had played this game for 3 years at that point i think and i didnt have mona. Mona was the only standard that i loved and i had a c7 diluc at that point. Its annoying fs but for those special cases like me its nice. However if they keep the 5 star standard per anniversary then yeah… standards on it are useless
Some people WANT those characters. For example; it took me 3 years to get Diluc. Don't have Tighnari (don't want him), but have C4 Jean and I think like C3 Keqing. Would love C4 Mona instead. (Some of those have been from standard banner.) However, not everyone feels the same way. I've seen people literally begging for Qiqi cons, or just her, even though she is bad. Or Keqing once she became kinda meta with aggravate. CW is for fans of the characters that are very niche or just don't perform well to be able to get them, and standard 5* from that region, so you can specifically pick whatever you'd like. Genshin is a story-driven OW RPG, some people LOVE those characters you consider a waste of primogems, and likewise some people will never pull on some characters due to hating them even if they are/were meta (Arlechomo was meta for like 5 months before Mavuika dragged her lol, would never pull her tho. Wanderer is an objectively good Anemo DPS, would never pull him tho.) That is why CW exists. Genshin isn't as character-dependent as HSR, which needs frequent reruns to make teams even be functional. For instance, RM is pretty much irreplaceable for break teams, especially Firefly teams. No 4* counterpart. Robin for FUA support and Sunday for Summon support, no 4* counterpart or even standard 5* counterparts. Genshin doesn't have super-specific restrictive teams like HSR, the most restrictive team comps are Chevreuse and Nilou and even then, they're extremely flexible compared to HSR teams. Meta over there also moves very quickly, Genshin doesn't have as hard of an endgame, my Hu Tao can still 36* every Abyss whether the blessing benefits pyro or not, same with my Ei. People wanted Shenhe to return and now she is there. Stop whining.
I think CW is my least favorite “generous gift, here is the thing you asked for from Mihoyo” in the game. Could easily be mostly fixed by just running it in some kind of set schedule but instead it’s a semi forgotten feature until they feel like pulling it out for an event
@@Anika9691there would be a LOT more issues if it used a different currency. Whether it's got a fate point or uses the same hard pity limit etc are perfectly fine attributes to debate. It using a separate currency would be so bad for us.
i have 440 wishes saved so childe will definitely be mine :D he hasn't rerun since i began playing! wearing my lucky socks today in hopes to, for the very first time, win a 50/50
@@naomi5328 We're in the same boat, I started playing during Venti/Wriothesley's banner and just missed Childe. Been saving and waiting, I'm pulling later today when the banner is up. Good luck to you :)
Chronicled banners are the one thing I do genuinely wish ran for the full patch, but as much as I call them the Evil 4th Banner, they've been helpful to get the stuff Hoyo keeps putting in the vault and making utterly inaccessible to players who started post-Sumeru like me. I got Beacon of the Reed Sea for my Diluc last time around and this time my sibling can *finally* get Memory of Dust for their beloved Ningguang DPS team. I like the weapon banner portion much more than the character one, but it's baseline helpful to look at the Chronicled wish and see exactly who they don't plan to rerun again until 6.0 at the earliest.
I wish they made something similar to star rail were they have 3 characters rerun on the same banners and the pity carries to all the limited banners but the genshin one feels like a total scam lol
No thanks. I hate the hsr way of doing it. Running several characters who by themselves aren't all that great at the exact same time they rerun all their premium supports as a means to entice people to spend more. I'm good dawg lmao yea man can't wait to pull for Jade only to not also own Robin or Big Herta. Oh what's that? They're also running alongside Jade? How oddly convenient. Too bad I only have enough for one pity so even IF I wanted to get more than just Jade, I physically can not because Hoyo in their infinite wisdom decided to make these goofy triple reruns happen whenever they want instead of every patch so I can't even plan ahead without glueing my eyeballs to leaks or something.
@@justsomeguy727 listen i get you and I agree for the most part but how on earth did you ever conclude hsr banners are worse than cw? Genuinely can't wrap my head around it
@justsomeguy727 I get you and the amount of banners with 2 new characters per patch was nuts but I'm talking about how it's pity system works and the fact that it carries to other banners too
I feel like I have to tell someone about my wishing luck on this banner because it was crazy. Wanted Baizhu and Shenhe. Got them both and Childe in 50 pulls.
congrats! as a childe main, I'm very happy for you, but also as a childe main, he's pretty tedious to grind for so if he's c0, maybe just to 2pc/2pc if you decided to build him
I hope the chronicled wish being in such a stacked patch and inevitably bombing doesn't cause hoyo to go "well, we gave them the reruns for old characters but they clearly don't want it in the first place!" and ditch the chronicled wish up until 2026 It also be noted that this chronicled wish sucks on purpose, they could've added Zhongli or Hu Tao in there but they chose to rerun them earlier and add Qi Qi there instead.
Hu Tao still sells well and I doubt they will ever add an Archon to that banner. It seems that they typically add limited units that have had reruns with noticeably declining sales. Though Baizhu seems to run counter to that (pretty sure his rerun actually performed better than his initial banner).
I think people underrate chronicle wish at a base line. The baseline is absurdly good, its just that only trash characters will end up on it. Losing 50/50 to a 2nd rate up character is insanely good.
@@luminous3558 yeah it still carries pity so it's fine only issue is with guarantee but u can still lose to limited characters so it's fine I don't even have qiqi so it's a win win situation for me
This chronicle banner was super worthwhile for me because there were 4 limited 5-star characters on there that I didn't have yet, and among them was Shenhe, whom I really wanted. That means even if I try for Shenhe and lose 50/50 along the way, there is a 50% chance for me to get another limited 5* I don't have yet, and then get Shenhe guaranteed anyway. That alone made this banner super high value for me, but on top of that I also still needed cons for several Liyue 4* characters. Long story short, I got my Shenhe, picked up Baizhu along the way (very nice), got Xingqiu to C6 (FINALLY), and also got a few other useful cons on top. This has been the most value I got out of any banner in ages. If a banner is worth it or not depends entirely on what you are trying to get out of it. For me personally, the Mondstadt chronicle banner was a sad joke in comparison. And so was the Mavuika Banner tbh.
I think there is 5 limited 5 star characters ( Ganyu, Shenhe, Xiao, Baizhu, and Childe). And congratulations, me too pull for ganyu finally after this years.
And this is the side of the coin many players and content creators never want to acknowledge even exists at all. Instead they rather just paint it as if it's 100% entirely bad for everybody when it's not. There is nuance to it but they just ignore all of it cause God forbid we speak in nuance on the internet. Congrats and enjoy!
the last chronicled kind of fucked me up.. Wanted Albedo lost 50/50 and wasn't able to get Albedo so I lost over 100 pulls to a banner I never see again..
Ooh man that sucks, I want citalali so bad I did hangout events, made teapot decor for 20 promo gifts, cleared 12-3 after a long time scavenged whole natlan for chests and made upto 50 pulls and I got a jean today and banner ends in few hours 😭
i didnt know anything prior, so by losing 50/50, does it mean that we get the standard banner characters OUTSIDE of the chronicle banner? or just simply not getting your designated character?
Just to let you know, the fate point resets but your pity carries over across Chronicled Wish banners, so your Litue Chronicled Wish would be around 40-50 pity right now.
As with any gacha, FOMO or fear of missing out is a means they use worse for characters like Shenhe or Ganyu. Gonna save for her next year (unless Varka comes through early), but yeah, cryo is now what Geo was in 2021 - 2024.
Cryo has always been worse than geo im afraid. Folks just got tricked easily into believing cryo was better than it really is cause we had lots of freezable content back in 1.X-2X. but ever since sumeru that element has taken nothing but massive Ls while every other element has only thrived in their own ways.
Nah, I'd say that over all the two elements are about equal. The best of geo is good in spite of being geo. As for cryo, freeze is mostly dead but melt is still a useful reaction but the lack of stronger reverse melt dps units has made the few forward melt pyro units stand out more. As things stand currently both elements have roughly half their respective rosters performing in a lackluster manner without heavy vertical investment. Both elements still need some role updates that match the current state of the game. Xilonen and Citlali were good steps in that direction.
my opinion is that the chronicle banner is just another way to milk money that is obviously a bit useless, i believe what they should do is merge the chronicle banner into the standard banner and the duration of it is like the limited banner for each region, it will make the acquainte fates more valuable but it's too drastic of a change they won't do something like that
I think the chronicled wish should rotate each patch, and replace the 50/50 on event banners. Meaning if you were wishing for Mavuika etc but lost your 50/50, it’d then roll from your chronicled wish selection with a 50/50 for your selected or for a random. Then remove standard banner and make it so chronicled can use any fate type.
@@kingInci727 i've seen people pull limited characters on purpose and leave them at low level. People enjoy the game differently. At least he's going to use and build her!
I'm going to assume that's meant to be a joke considering how many times he said "unless you really want one of the characters on it" over the span of this video...
I stressed the point of not wishing on it unless you really want one of the characters and have enough wishes to get them for sure. As an example of there is reasons to wish on the banner. But also that it would be better to just have more normal banners, in this case.
The Chronicle banner is so situational and depends from player to player. For me it's an easy skip, the only character I don't have is Ganyu and I don't like her play style. So yeah good luck with your pulls! 🤞 for earlys
@@David67_ No lol. Xiao is maybe the most expensive character in the game and then he is only alright. You need C6 Faruzan who isnt on rate up here, you need furina and you need Xianyun. You also need a decent 5* polearm. He will also never get better because he already is the most catered to main dps in the entire game with 3 BiS supports.
In hindsight, they should have released way more characters as non-limited, and added them to standard (after a FOMO waiting period) with a target selector. They don't seem to want to add a third or fourth rerun slot, and they have to keep characters "limited" even if hardly anyone wants them anymore, and they don't want to undermine sales of new characters by giving Chronicled lower pity or better odds, so we're left with a junkbin banner that's only worth it if you love a specific outdated character/weapon.
If u want a character pull for them but meta wise chronicled banner is for “benched” characters. Archons and good units will never be added, there is a reason why venti wasn’t added and why hu tao, xianyun, yelan and zhongli wont come in this one AND kazuha and raiden wont be in the inazuma one
I'm struggling to think of 7 Inazuma 5-stars that WOULD be on the next Chronicled wish, since there will be only 1 Inazuma standard 5-star. It would have to be something like: Itto, Ayato, Kokomi, Yoimiya, Mizuki, Ayaka and Yae. Basically all of them EXCEPT Raiden and Kazuha. Seems kinda unlikely though. Maybe they wont do a regional theme next time, or they'll do Sumeru and Inazuma combined, or something.
@@WannaComment2Chiori is also inazuma so they can just include her. She might live in Fontaine but her vision is 100% inazuma so they could just put her there if they want.
@ they don’t have to add 7 but the lineup u gave is my prediction yeah my liyue prediction was this exact banner minus shenhe cuz she originally couldn’t be on it
They will give rerun to best characters before and add emelie, sigewene etc on it. Don't think so they will add neuvi,furina,arle,chlorinde,navia,wrio there and i think it will take too long for that to come and we will have plenty of mid fontaine characters till then I guess. Like they didn't add hutao, yelan on this banner like that hu tao rerun was unnecessary and out of place I guess so they will pull same trick
@ISMythix it's not about acc it's about dps like u see mihoyo is only releasing high dmg dealers and wrio is also not that good but emelie is more bad coz of burning niche we have kinich now she works well with but still not that good of character as much as I love chiori, she will also be there in that chronicle. As i said when fontaine chronicke time comes we will have some new mid characters aswell. Mihoyo never gonna add arle, nuvi, furina, chlorinde and navia there no matter what and u know why. Wrio is still controversial coz at c0 he is not that good but other 5 they will never and as of emelie at c0 she's just not good I'll say.
Good thing I always kept 180 wishes just for any "surprise" banners that has Shenhe on it, I would be really bummed otherwise. I am secretly hoping to lose my 50/50 and snatch another new unit for myself :D
I won the 5050 and got my childe in a single 10 pull so yay! I saved like 120 pulls for him but i just spent the rest for arle, lost the 5050 once to nari but kept pulling and arle came home. stil got 26 pulls left for wrio so i'm more than satisfied. (Edit since my replies arent showing up: nobody asked david. arle is peak + i have furi and i dont care abt your new shiny meta pyro waifu, shes mid at best to me.)
@@David67_ yeah get outta here meta slave i could care less abt midvuika and I've had furi since her release. I only pull for characters i actually care abt
Okay, so I originally wanted Jade Cutter so I can finally realize my Sub-DPS Layla (it went nowhere she's still shit) but I decided that I was sick of seeing that ugly Viridiscent Hunt green on my Faruzan so I went for Polar Star instead. I had 250 wishes ready because I skipped everybody and their mother in Natlan (except Xilonen and Mavuika) and I was mostly saving for Wrio and Emilie. At 30 wishes, I got Polar Star and I was like "Yay, that's it" but then I got greedy and thought "Well, I can guarantee Jade Cutter anyway, let's hope I get another early", 77 wishes in, I did see Jade on my screen but it was Jadefall Splendor ijbol. I know people hate on this weapon but I didn't mind it as much because I like this weapon and it's R4 now. What WAS painful though was how it took another 74 wishes to get Jadefall and I got ZERO Gaming cons but somehow Yun Jin and Xinyan decided to come home back to back THRICE. In conclusion, I love Chronicled Wish as a concept and I benefit greatly from it but it certainly does hurt that soft pity starts at 75 instead of 65.
Tartaglia does have good use cases with Ororon electro charge teams. I don't know how it compared to Childe-National but I am aware of a Tart/Ororon team floating around, where instead of being an enabler for Xiangling he's an enabler for various electro units.
You're thinking of Childe Ororon Kuki Kazuha and teams of that nature. They're great in multi target scenarios unironically and you don't need to worry about the black hole of energy that is xiangling as well.
Wait I was joking with my friend about Childe only having "one team" and how I see that and think, "uh huh uh huh. So.... Ororon electro-charged Childe?" And you mean to tell me it's at least semi-viable?!?! 😂😂
As a Ganyu main, I am very happy with how Mavuika performs in her melt team. Mavuika's ability to hold the cinder city set and the fact that her pyro application isn't tied to her burst has skyrocketed Ganyu's damage. Since cinder city's buff lasts through her rotation, if you have enough ER on Benny, then you have close to 100% uptime on all buffs. My Ganyu can now consistently do 150k charged shot blooms in the overworld. It's really incredible!
i really wanted jade cutter for a long while because im so poor in the 5* weapons department, and having a nice matching sword for a hybrid subdps shielder kirara would be awesome, but besides polar star and jade spear, i dont really wanna lose my 50/50 to any of the other weapons.... and thats over half the roster.... thank u for this video soluna because i was still not sure whether id go for it anyway or not, but this p much solidifies it, bc i cant guarentee ill even get it.
An important aspect that you didn't mention is that this Chronicled Wish has only Liyue 4* characters on it. (excl. Lan Yan bc she's new) So for players like me who don't have many of them at c6, the odds of getting extra copies of specific characters are significantly higher than normal (1/10 vs. 1/40), and even more so, since none of them are being "promoted", there are equal odds to pull any one of them. I only have 3 of the 7 5* characters, so I'm not expecting too much, but worst case scenario: I'm likely to get a character I don't have yet & I'll have decent pity for Redhorn when an Inazuma Chronicled wish rolls around... :p Currently at ~130 wishes; I've lost to Qiqi every time I've tried to pull for Tartaglia so far, so if I lose 50/50 to her again, it's simply fate... -u-)"b
As a Geo snob I was able to pull albedo from the first one, so it still has its uses for people who really want older characters that don't run anymore.
Tip for potential Childe wanters: Just do what his story quest says and count to 10 when in melee stance. That's the rule of thumb. Sometimes you can use visual indicators outside of himself (Xiangling's burst before C4, 3 seconds left from his ranged burst cooldown, Layla's shield, etc) that can keep you on time. Edit cuz I forgot to talk about the fact I fucking finally got Polar Star. I've been waiting for a long time. Super happy.
I used Burnmelt Ganyu to deal with Suanni in the Abyss this season. Nahida, Bennett, Xinyan, Ganyu. Xinyan's c2 makes her burst have a shield pulse with pyro, so it helps keep burning alive and lets her hold Totm. I also still like using Burnmelt Ganyu whenever there are annoying flying bosses like Wenut and Wolflord (shielder slot has to adjust depending on the boss).
Yeah, I like Xinyan's shield utility, but her shield is one of the thinner ones and you lose the Pyro application if the shield breaks, so you do have to invest in the skill a good amount for it to be useful. Also, Xinyan's burst has a shorter cooldown than her skill, meaning if you want tight rotations, you can't rely on Xinyan's skill to generate energy (Xinyan burst has the same 15 second cooldown as Bennett burst, so this is why she's my favorite shielder for Burnmelt and why I skip her skill unless I need emergency energy). I run Fav Greatsword on Xinyan to help get around this, and Xinyan has a 100% crit rate on her burst, so you don't need any crit rate on artifacts for Fav and can focus on stacking Defense only.
After fueling Shenhe FoMo for years, a lot of people will feel demoralized and trapped into wishing. then Hoyo will turn around and say - The Chronicle system is a great success, when we know it most certainly isn't.
"fueling shenhe fomo" LMAO y'all really act like shenhe is some highly sought after character that hoyo kept hostage on purpose to mess with y'all or something. If they gave her a normal banner I GUARANTEE you her pull count would still not be very high. In fact, Hoyo themselves likely knew this hence why she's on chronicled to begin with lmao She's incredibly niche and the teams she's good in at c0 are even MORE niche than she herself is. She is not Kazuha. She is not Furina. She is not Xilonen. She isn't some crazy game changing support that everyone and their mother is looking to pick up. But for some reason the playerbase loves to prop it up as if she somehow is when she only has ONE good teammate to support at c0 (that being Ayaka) and everyone else like Wrio just burns through her quills way too quickly to justify running her over someone else. Who TF is getting fomo over a character like that? Lmao
@@justsomeguy727 When it takes 2 years to get another shot it doesn't matter how good a character is. Who cares about pull value? When you beat the abyss it doesn't matter how strong other characters are. Some players don't do the abyss to care about strength in the first place.
so they made the weopon banner better and the character banner better but the 1year old chronical system didnt change sometimes i feel like hoyo executives are stupid
they got rid of the minimum re-runs needed rule, so it's technically very slightly better than it was. Otherwise it wouldn't have had Shenhe and they'd have had to run Yelan as she was the only other liyue character that met the requirements.
I've been waiting for albedo for 3 years and both of the reruns he had caught me by surprise because he was low on my list. Here's hoping we luck out in patch 5.5 since Venti should show up then
I just lost my Shenhe to C2 Ganyu... As an Ayaka main, I am now coping with support Ganyu. I though I had enough to guarantee her, but I messed up the math and now I'm left with -81 Fates and -1 Fate point!! The max I can reach by the time the version ends is around 50 pity. I love this banner!!!!
The fact it costs the same number of wishes to get mavuika, citlali, and arlecchino as it does to get shenhe, xiao, childe, AND QIQI?? Are they insane? 😭 like the only way it would make sense to pull for them is if you’re guaranteed without worrying about the 50/50
@@KyzenEX My point for OP still stands. The point being they're not going to reduce the amount of pulls required to obtain these units even if they're not as good as the new ones, bud...
@@KyzenEX That's a lawsuit waiting to happen from people who C6'd their old units before the chronicled banner. The primo cost for limited characters will never be an exception.
Throwing in my support for the Ganyu video! Ganyu is my favorite character, and the amount of up to date guides or content for her is extremely minimal. I love your showcases/guides for characters whether they be optimal or silly team comps, so I'll absolutely be seated for whatever Ganyu content you put out LOL. Very looking forward to it.
For me it was worth it. I got Shenhe at pity 80 and Tartaglia immediately after at 10 pity. And since I started playing Genshin in 4.1 I didn't have the chance to get them. But I agree that having a pity there too is shit. Since we don't have Chronicled banners often.
The best aspect is that you can lose your pity with another limited, so if you're slightly lucky you can win either way. Could suck to lose it to a weapon I guess but some of them could be good right, they're still limited
A shame, but not surprising. It only makes me regret not pulling Xiao earlier on because I was focused on another old character. But I've made peace with the fact that this game has a limited lifespan. Now I play another game where I can live out my Xiao fantasy. Path of Exile 2 lol
"limited lifespan" as you play another game with a limited lifespan (all live service games have a limited lifespan technically so idk what you were even getting at by saying this?) Interesting
It's better than i expected in that at least Baizhu is on it. Honestly though if Chronicled Wish is only going to be for outdated characters you should just get whoever you wanted when you hit a 5* no more 50/50. Last time i lost to Albedo trying to finally get my Mona after 3 years of failing, it didn't feel great.
I have more than enough pulls for Shenhe, but at this point might as well go for the Tsarista instead than use those pulls due to powercreep. This is just like how my friend tried to convince me to pull for Kokomi when I'd rather just wait and get the Hydro archon. I said no. Got Furina later. Better investment for the account.
Lost 50/50 early to ganyu while going for xiao, the used everything to then get xiao so I have no pulls for cheve cons. Still i see this as an absolute win. Now I have a good reason for exploring the rest of the map as only the 1.0 areas, dragonspine and the chasm are 100% everything else is between 0% and 20%
I’m still gonna pull for Shenhe xD but thank you for this video! This helps clarify a lot before I start pulling. I have 110 pulls saved so I’m hoping between those savings and the primos from this phase I can guarantee her. Edit: Please make the Ganyu video! I love seeing other people’s thoughts on her and how they build and use her.
I genuinely think they should run one every patch. In the long-term I think it will help more consistent rerunning and easier saving for f2p players than a lot of people think. I think too many players are focussing on "getting them all" on one singular banner. But with more consistent reruns, it allows players to pick and choose rather than having to guess who will be thrown in Hoyo's dungeon. But it definitely needs some optimising.
I wished on the first chronicled banner last year to get Skyward Harp for my Fischl. Immediately lost 50/50 to Skyward Blade, but got my guarantee the next 10-pull. Looking at other people's pulls, the banner seemed more "generous" but your mileage may vary.
Last year I was a very new player when I pulled on this banner. I lost my 50/50 at 76 pulls and then didn't pull again on it. However, if I were to pull again this year (I'm not) but lost the 50/50 again, since the fate point doesn't carry over, it's possible to never win this banner if you pull on it (once to pity) each year. Which is why I won't ever pull on this banner again. The fate not carrying over kills this banner; it's simply a primogem sink.
it's the same on the weapon banner. Fate points are there to stress us about losing the guarantee when the banner ends. They could have had them stay and let us choose a weapon to guarantee the next time but that would help us save money. You can always guarantee a 5 star by saving enough. If you have characters or weapons you want I think it's better to stock up on wishes for when they come back.
I’m at 45 pity and still no childe, ima keep exploring my map. I went from 20 to 45 fates in just 2 days speedrunning through everything💀💀 I’ll get him no matter what it takes
Yeah I was tempted to go for Baizhu because I kinda wanted to C6 him but... nah I'll wait. I believe in him returning to event banner one day o7 if Chronicled Wish was more frequent than once a region but yeah
Imo it’s only worth it if you want multiple things on the banner… for example…. I want Shenha, Xiao and Tartaglia, but I also use Keqing and she’s c5 rn so I wouldn’t mind getting her c6… so for someone like me it’s worth the risk
I was going to pull on Chronacled wish, but Xianyun and Yelan, the only two Liyue characters I would have considered pulling for, are both absent. So I got a c2 Citlali instead.
I wanted to tell everyone because I didn’t see anyone mention it yet but in domains on the wall behind the tree there is a mural and on it there are the same eyes as ronova maybe it means something ??
The thing that bugs me is purple fake cat girl and zombie. Characters that you eventually get from losing 50:50 also in there. Shouldn't be like that. Hope they will be removed once more 5 stars in Liyue added.
It's so you can guarantee to grab them because we only got the standard selector this last year. There were launch players that never got their Jean until the last Chronicled Wish. And since they're expanding the standard pool, that means you might want the selector for each new addition instead.
For the Inazuma Chronicled we're likely getting the second half of next patch, Mizuki (who is new and will be on a limited banner during the first half) will be the only standard character there, which will make the Inazuma Chronicled the highest value yet.
I generally agree chronicle wish is a bad deal that got worse. But minor oversight on the weapon, the limited banner you only have 37.5% chance to get your selected weapon (75% on banner wep vs 25% standard, then if 75% limited hit, then 50/50 which one). Chronicle is a 50% chance. This basically makes it break even on average when I ran it through wish simulation. But it should not really break even imo it should be cheaper.
I'd love to see what kind of shenanigans you'd come up with Ganyu. I'm going for the esteemed cocogoat myself. I'll be using her with Citlali, Mavuika and Bennett- pretty generic I know, but if it works, why not?,
I was reading the cons for my C0 Childe, and I decided that it might’ve been worth trying to go for C1 since there’s a reduced cool-down on his skill. It’s not like I was saving for anyone in particular anyways, so I did a few single pulls… and I actually got Childe within 6 single pulls 🤯 Will never get that lucky again
Also worth to mention that the last chronicled wish banner had a lot of rarer 4*, i.e all the starting cast, who are very difficult to get constellations for. Not to discredit the Liyue 4*, they're very strong, but it's significantly easier to get them.
I'll be wishing for Ganyu on this banner! I'd love to see a video about her, if you're inclined to make one. I love seeing the teams you make and your explanations on how they work are more understandable than most!
Everyone complains complains and COMPLAINS about “ohh nooooo shenhe no rerun! Wriosthely cryo jail!” And when they really do rerun NOBODY actually pulls. They just complain this complain that ok fine Eula hasn’t rerun in a long time are you personally pulling her if she comes back? No. Oh don’t pull for childe, don’t pull for xiao, of course not shenhe. Ok fine. Just don’t rerun the characters and save the space for better ones. OH NO. Y’all just complain complain and complain that they dont rerun characters you don’t even want.
I pulled BOTH shenhe and xiao on the banner, in one ten pull. But it was not enough to stop me from quitting Genshin. I did not login for quite a while, and the disparity with wuwa is now obvious to me. I constantly try to heal near teleport station, to change a character while gliding, etc etc etc and not having the ability to do it irks me too much.
The answer is if they put more free pulls in to balance it out it’s fine, that is rumoured thing them working to make more events and better rewards so it might get better when they implement all that.
For a new player like me that doesnt own alot of 5 star characters. This is a win win for me. I recently pulled for ganyu, lost to baizhu then got ganyu 10 pulls after. 😅❤
The only thing is that it's a scam. They just work like the character banners. If you lost your 50/50,then the next will be a guaranteed. What bullsh**! Atleast lower the designated pity,like maybe,instead of 80,you can get a 5 star in just 40. Or maybe,just get rid of fatepoints and let me get my character when I reached 80 wishes!
The saying "You deserve what you tolerate" goes hard in this game I can't believe US gov have to beat up Hoyo to force them to be less hostile toward their customer
chronicled wish probably isn't something i'd recommend pulling on unless you have enough to guarantee what you want, but if you do it's definitely an amazing thing to have in the game. i've been saving since before 5.0 for the liyue one and it was soooo worth it. got baizhu (his C2, i've had his C1 for a while), his weapon, jade cutter AND polar star (didn't get that one intentionally, lost my 50/50 to it but i'm not complaining). most took me to 80 pulls but i'm happy nonetheless :3 one thing i will say though is that even after nearly 300 pulls i didn't get a single lithic weapon or yaoyao and gaming cons 😭😭i was hoping to get some but i guess that's where my luck ran out
"Don't wish on the Chronicle Banner if you don't have enough to guarantee the thing you want." That's how I treat my wishes to ALL limited banners since day 1! Dude, I expect ALL my wishes to hit hard pity and lose my 50/50s. I didn't even wish for the weapon banner until the Epitomized Path was added! Saving primos as f2p is hard so I choose which characters/weapons to wish for very carefully.
As a veteran player, I'm actually happy with this Chronicled banner. Natlan chars aren't as hyped for a lot of people, and so I rather roll for chars I haven't used before in the past. I like the Liyue designs for the most part so losing 50/50 on anyone would be a win for me (except Keqing cuz I already have her). No matter how amazing the Natlan character kits may be, I just don't like their designs and can't justify me spending resources to pull for numbers.
I personally think the banner the is aomewhat worthwhile, especially as a f2p if you want more than one character from that banner, since you can lose it to another character that isnt just a standard character. I know you can still get keqing and qiqi but but its still better slightly better because there's a small chance it isnt gonna be qiqi or keqing. I do wish that they either lower the pity or just make it so the fate points carry over, because of the recent changes to the weapon and character banner definitely made it worth less than it used to. Also there should be a consistent schedule to the chronicle wish since it's a bit hard to prepare dor a character when you don't know when its coming back. I would like to add that it would be great if we could trigger capturing radience in the chronicle wish.
Is hard to say, cause if you where a new player you had the chance of getting at least 3 of them if you saved enough, the one you want the 5050 lost one and the 3rd if you want it
If this was the first chronicle banner this wouldve sold so much as these units were actually still pretty decent when the first one came out. Now days this banner is worse then the regular banner in every way possible, even for weapons.
Honestly, if hard pity was 50 instead of of 90 or something lower I think people would have loved it. Big problems already stated aside, the fact that they are putting standard banner characters on this is awful. Players dont need to lose to qi qi again nor is a single account gunning for her. As a welkin only player since patch 1 she is my only c6 5 star.
To be honest, it feels like they adjusted the banner a bit to catch early, even if not official. Pulled 3 copies of PJWS to finally have Xiao C6R5 and needed 100 pulls for it.
i just wish they'd at least lower the pity on this banner... :/
Yeah it wouldve been the simple and obvious thing to do. Or at least increase the base rate of five stars or something
@@Solunerra hey i wanna ask is weapon pity same as 80 for guarantee or 90 like characters on chronicle???

@@aquachrist yeah, or just being able to use standard fates on chronicle banner
@@SolunerraStandard wishes would be terrible. If you're stuck waiting for a CW rerun, you're sitting on 180 standard wishes. That's wasted resources compared to keeping it all on acquainted fates and being able to switch your primos on the fly for what you actually want at the time.
@ the core for me is rotating the older characters so players have a reasonable chance to get a specific character.
There is no reason why you should be able to lose the 5050 on chronical banner.
Just choose the 5 star and auto guarantee to get it
WuWa beginner wish did it better and it's a banner full of standards lmao💀
Agreed. Especially, since the characters on these banners have been lesser desired characters. A guaranteed 5* before 90 pulls should be the go to.
@@Gacha_Nazrinofficial crazy how the beginner wish for this game is a guarenteed noelle, when hsr, zzz, and wuwa all give you a 5 star for the beginner banner lol.
@@croper0casually ignoring that the standard characters in those games arent even used by anybody these days aside from Bronya/Himeko(and even bronya is losing steam now so even she's looking like less of a worthwhile pick than she did when the game first launched) and Verina exactly lmao
The recent FTC ruling against Hoyo might see some changes brought to the banner system, but I wouldn't expect those changes to be implemented before 6.0.
The real reason why Chronicled Wish currently really frustrates me is because I'd been hanging onto my guaranteed for a long while under the assumption that the character I want would be rerunning on an event banner like normal. Instead, now I have to spend up to double the wishes on CW, probably getting a character that I'd be less than happy with, and have to deal with the same system again if I want a chance at the sig weapon as well.
just win the 50/50 5head
Same. I even held off on the Zhongli banner cuz I expect his wallet, Tortellini, to come back soon.
Don't pull weapons = problem solved. You don't need limited weapons to clear the game, so you will have all pulls going to heroes.
Aw I’m sorry I hope you win and get your character and weapon early❤❤❤
@@RavenShugoyeah but the person wants the signature for the character they like and for more dmg
Stupid how they still put standard 5 stars on their since you can still get them even off banner
Absolutely agree with this
You can even get them from anniversary, they're just there to annoy you atp
Normally id agree with you, but last chronicled wish i wanted mona because i had played this game for 3 years at that point i think and i didnt have mona. Mona was the only standard that i loved and i had a c7 diluc at that point. Its annoying fs but for those special cases like me its nice. However if they keep the 5 star standard per anniversary then yeah… standards on it are useless
Some people WANT those characters.
For example; it took me 3 years to get Diluc. Don't have Tighnari (don't want him), but have C4 Jean and I think like C3 Keqing. Would love C4 Mona instead. (Some of those have been from standard banner.)
However, not everyone feels the same way. I've seen people literally begging for Qiqi cons, or just her, even though she is bad. Or Keqing once she became kinda meta with aggravate.
CW is for fans of the characters that are very niche or just don't perform well to be able to get them, and standard 5* from that region, so you can specifically pick whatever you'd like. Genshin is a story-driven OW RPG, some people LOVE those characters you consider a waste of primogems, and likewise some people will never pull on some characters due to hating them even if they are/were meta (Arlechomo was meta for like 5 months before Mavuika dragged her lol, would never pull her tho. Wanderer is an objectively good Anemo DPS, would never pull him tho.)
That is why CW exists. Genshin isn't as character-dependent as HSR, which needs frequent reruns to make teams even be functional. For instance, RM is pretty much irreplaceable for break teams, especially Firefly teams. No 4* counterpart.
Robin for FUA support and Sunday for Summon support, no 4* counterpart or even standard 5* counterparts. Genshin doesn't have super-specific restrictive teams like HSR, the most restrictive team comps are Chevreuse and Nilou and even then, they're extremely flexible compared to HSR teams. Meta over there also moves very quickly, Genshin doesn't have as hard of an endgame, my Hu Tao can still 36* every Abyss whether the blessing benefits pyro or not, same with my Ei.
People wanted Shenhe to return and now she is there. Stop whining.
@@dreamsandhopes6802That has only been as of this year. And even then, you can only get one copy.
I think CW is my least favorite “generous gift, here is the thing you asked for from Mihoyo” in the game. Could easily be mostly fixed by just running it in some kind of set schedule but instead it’s a semi forgotten feature until they feel like pulling it out for an event

Good luck!
Chronicled banners are the one thing I do genuinely wish ran for the full patch, but as much as I call them the Evil 4th Banner, they've been helpful to get the stuff Hoyo keeps putting in the vault and making utterly inaccessible to players who started post-Sumeru like me. I got Beacon of the Reed Sea for my Diluc last time around and this time my sibling can *finally* get Memory of Dust for their beloved Ningguang DPS team. I like the weapon banner portion much more than the character one, but it's baseline helpful to look at the Chronicled wish and see exactly who they don't plan to rerun again until 6.0 at the earliest.
I wish they made something similar to star rail were they have 3 characters rerun on the same banners and the pity carries to all the limited banners but the genshin one feels like a total scam lol
Because we have Da Wai:(
No thanks. I hate the hsr way of doing it. Running several characters who by themselves aren't all that great at the exact same time they rerun all their premium supports as a means to entice people to spend more. I'm good dawg lmao yea man can't wait to pull for Jade only to not also own Robin or Big Herta.
Oh what's that? They're also running alongside Jade? How oddly convenient. Too bad I only have enough for one pity so even IF I wanted to get more than just Jade, I physically can not because Hoyo in their infinite wisdom decided to make these goofy triple reruns happen whenever they want instead of every patch so I can't even plan ahead without glueing my eyeballs to leaks or something.
@@justsomeguy727 listen i get you and I agree for the most part but how on earth did you ever conclude hsr banners are worse than cw? Genuinely can't wrap my head around it
@justsomeguy727 I get you and the amount of banners with 2 new characters per patch was nuts but I'm talking about how it's pity system works and the fact that it carries to other banners too
I feel like I have to tell someone about my wishing luck on this banner because it was crazy. Wanted Baizhu and Shenhe. Got them both and Childe in 50 pulls.
congrats! as a childe main, I'm very happy for you, but also as a childe main, he's pretty tedious to grind for so if he's c0, maybe just to 2pc/2pc if you decided to build him
You are gonna be ROCKIN'!! Congrats!!!!
I hope the chronicled wish being in such a stacked patch and inevitably bombing doesn't cause hoyo to go "well, we gave them the reruns for old characters but they clearly don't want it in the first place!" and ditch the chronicled wish up until 2026
It also be noted that this chronicled wish sucks on purpose, they could've added Zhongli or Hu Tao in there but they chose to rerun them earlier and add Qi Qi there instead.
Ain't nobody pulling for Hu Tao in big 2025 in the same patch both Mavuika and Arlecchino are running. Be serious now.
@@justsomeguy727Plus they won't put the archons on it. Venti already was skipped for the first one.
Hu Tao still sells well and I doubt they will ever add an Archon to that banner. It seems that they typically add limited units that have had reruns with noticeably declining sales. Though Baizhu seems to run counter to that (pretty sure his rerun actually performed better than his initial banner).

I think people underrate chronicle wish at a base line. The baseline is absurdly good, its just that only trash characters will end up on it.
Losing 50/50 to a 2nd rate up character is insanely good.
@@luminous3558 yeah it still carries pity so it's fine only issue is with guarantee but u can still lose to limited characters so it's fine I don't even have qiqi so it's a win win situation for me
This chronicle banner was super worthwhile for me because there were 4 limited 5-star characters on there that I didn't have yet, and among them was Shenhe, whom I really wanted. That means even if I try for Shenhe and lose 50/50 along the way, there is a 50% chance for me to get another limited 5* I don't have yet, and then get Shenhe guaranteed anyway. That alone made this banner super high value for me, but on top of that I also still needed cons for several Liyue 4* characters.
Long story short, I got my Shenhe, picked up Baizhu along the way (very nice), got Xingqiu to C6 (FINALLY), and also got a few other useful cons on top. This has been the most value I got out of any banner in ages. If a banner is worth it or not depends entirely on what you are trying to get out of it. For me personally, the Mondstadt chronicle banner was a sad joke in comparison. And so was the Mavuika Banner tbh.
I think there is 5 limited 5 star characters ( Ganyu, Shenhe, Xiao, Baizhu, and Childe). And congratulations, me too pull for ganyu finally after this years.
And this is the side of the coin many players and content creators never want to acknowledge even exists at all. Instead they rather just paint it as if it's 100% entirely bad for everybody when it's not. There is nuance to it but they just ignore all of it cause God forbid we speak in nuance on the internet.
Congrats and enjoy!
Woo!! Shenhe, Baizhu AND C6 Xingqiu!! Your teams are gonna be COOKIN' now!!!
the last chronicled kind of fucked me up.. Wanted Albedo lost 50/50 and wasn't able to get Albedo so I lost over 100 pulls to a banner I never see again..

@kosammbari I'm so sorry, it hurt just reading that... I hope luck is better going forward, for all of you
i didnt know anything prior, so by losing 50/50, does it mean that we get the standard banner characters OUTSIDE of the chronicle banner? or just simply not getting your designated character?
Just to let you know, the fate point resets but your pity carries over across Chronicled Wish banners, so your Litue Chronicled Wish would be around 40-50 pity right now.
@@bastidota You get a non-designated 5 star character from the Chronicled banner.
As with any gacha, FOMO or fear of missing out is a means they use worse for characters like Shenhe or Ganyu.

@mohammedalamer4456 Ahh fellow legend. Strength and honour 🫡
@@TatendaMikey Hell yes, hopefully next year!
Cryo has always been worse than geo im afraid. Folks just got tricked easily into believing cryo was better than it really is cause we had lots of freezable content back in 1.X-2X. but ever since sumeru that element has taken nothing but massive Ls while every other element has only thrived in their own ways.
Nah, I'd say that over all the two elements are about equal. The best of geo is good in spite of being geo. As for cryo, freeze is mostly dead but melt is still a useful reaction but the lack of stronger reverse melt dps units has made the few forward melt pyro units stand out more. As things stand currently both elements have roughly half their respective rosters performing in a lackluster manner without heavy vertical investment. Both elements still need some role updates that match the current state of the game. Xilonen and Citlali were good steps in that direction.
my opinion is that the chronicle banner is just another way to milk money that is obviously a bit useless, i believe what they should do is merge the chronicle banner into the standard banner and the duration of it is like the limited banner for each region, it will make the acquainte fates more valuable but it's too drastic of a change they won't do something like that
I think the chronicled wish should rotate each patch, and replace the 50/50 on event banners. Meaning if you were wishing for Mavuika etc but lost your 50/50, it’d then roll from your chronicled wish selection with a 50/50 for your selected or for a random. Then remove standard banner and make it so chronicled can use any fate type.
So you're saying 50% Mavuika, 25% selected character, 25% other characters? Sounds great... and that's exactly why I don't expect it to happen 😢
I still want Baizhu but him being on chronicle banner instead of regular is such salt in the wound

In hindsight, they should have released way more characters as non-limited, and added them to standard (after a FOMO waiting period) with a target selector. They don't seem to want to add a third or fourth rerun slot, and they have to keep characters "limited" even if hardly anyone wants them anymore, and they don't want to undermine sales of new characters by giving Chronicled lower pity or better odds, so we're left with a junkbin banner that's only worth it if you love a specific outdated character/weapon.
If u want a character pull for them but meta wise chronicled banner is for “benched” characters. Archons and good units will never be added, there is a reason why venti wasn’t added and why hu tao, xianyun, yelan and zhongli wont come in this one AND kazuha and raiden wont be in the inazuma one
archons rerun the most so why would they add them
I'm struggling to think of 7 Inazuma 5-stars that WOULD be on the next Chronicled wish, since there will be only 1 Inazuma standard 5-star. It would have to be something like: Itto, Ayato, Kokomi, Yoimiya, Mizuki, Ayaka and Yae. Basically all of them EXCEPT Raiden and Kazuha. Seems kinda unlikely though. Maybe they wont do a regional theme next time, or they'll do Sumeru and Inazuma combined, or something.

Okay, so I originally wanted Jade Cutter so I can finally realize my Sub-DPS Layla (it went nowhere she's still shit) but I decided that I was sick of seeing that ugly Viridiscent Hunt green on my Faruzan so I went for Polar Star instead. I had 250 wishes ready because I skipped everybody and their mother in Natlan (except Xilonen and Mavuika) and I was mostly saving for Wrio and Emilie.
At 30 wishes, I got Polar Star and I was like "Yay, that's it" but then I got greedy and thought "Well, I can guarantee Jade Cutter anyway, let's hope I get another early", 77 wishes in, I did see Jade on my screen but it was Jadefall Splendor ijbol. I know people hate on this weapon but I didn't mind it as much because I like this weapon and it's R4 now. What WAS painful though was how it took another 74 wishes to get Jadefall and I got ZERO Gaming cons but somehow Yun Jin and Xinyan decided to come home back to back THRICE.
In conclusion, I love Chronicled Wish as a concept and I benefit greatly from it but it certainly does hurt that soft pity starts at 75 instead of 65.
Tartaglia does have good use cases with Ororon electro charge teams. I don't know how it compared to Childe-National but I am aware of a Tart/Ororon team floating around, where instead of being an enabler for Xiangling he's an enabler for various electro units.
You're thinking of Childe Ororon Kuki Kazuha and teams of that nature. They're great in multi target scenarios unironically and you don't need to worry about the black hole of energy that is xiangling as well.
Wait I was joking with my friend about Childe only having "one team" and how I see that and think, "uh huh uh huh. So.... Ororon electro-charged Childe?"
And you mean to tell me it's at least semi-viable?!?! 😂😂
9:32 I actually procced the capturing radiance for Citlali. It saved my ass. I'll wait for a real Shenhe banner to pull for dupes.
As a Ganyu main, I am very happy with how Mavuika performs in her melt team. Mavuika's ability to hold the cinder city set and the fact that her pyro application isn't tied to her burst has skyrocketed Ganyu's damage. Since cinder city's buff lasts through her rotation, if you have enough ER on Benny, then you have close to 100% uptime on all buffs. My Ganyu can now consistently do 150k charged shot blooms in the overworld. It's really incredible!
i really wanted jade cutter for a long while because im so poor in the 5* weapons department, and having a nice matching sword for a hybrid subdps shielder kirara would be awesome, but besides polar star and jade spear, i dont really wanna lose my 50/50 to any of the other weapons.... and thats over half the roster....
thank u for this video soluna because i was still not sure whether id go for it anyway or not, but this p much solidifies it, bc i cant guarentee ill even get it.
An important aspect that you didn't mention is that this Chronicled Wish has only Liyue 4* characters on it. (excl. Lan Yan bc she's new) So for players like me who don't have many of them at c6, the odds of getting extra copies of specific characters are significantly higher than normal (1/10 vs. 1/40), and even more so, since none of them are being "promoted", there are equal odds to pull any one of them.
I only have 3 of the 7 5* characters, so I'm not expecting too much, but worst case scenario: I'm likely to get a character I don't have yet & I'll have decent pity for Redhorn when an Inazuma Chronicled wish rolls around... :p
Currently at ~130 wishes; I've lost to Qiqi every time I've tried to pull for Tartaglia so far, so if I lose 50/50 to her again, it's simply fate... -u-)"b
As a Geo snob I was able to pull albedo from the first one, so it still has its uses for people who really want older characters that don't run anymore.
Tip for potential Childe wanters: Just do what his story quest says and count to 10 when in melee stance. That's the rule of thumb. Sometimes you can use visual indicators outside of himself (Xiangling's burst before C4, 3 seconds left from his ranged burst cooldown, Layla's shield, etc) that can keep you on time.
Edit cuz I forgot to talk about the fact I fucking finally got Polar Star. I've been waiting for a long time. Super happy.
I used Burnmelt Ganyu to deal with Suanni in the Abyss this season. Nahida, Bennett, Xinyan, Ganyu. Xinyan's c2 makes her burst have a shield pulse with pyro, so it helps keep burning alive and lets her hold Totm. I also still like using Burnmelt Ganyu whenever there are annoying flying bosses like Wenut and Wolflord (shielder slot has to adjust depending on the boss).
Xinyan user out in the wild! What an interesting comp, I might try it out for myself. I'd like to use Xinyan more :')
Yeah, I like Xinyan's shield utility, but her shield is one of the thinner ones and you lose the Pyro application if the shield breaks, so you do have to invest in the skill a good amount for it to be useful.
Also, Xinyan's burst has a shorter cooldown than her skill, meaning if you want tight rotations, you can't rely on Xinyan's skill to generate energy (Xinyan burst has the same 15 second cooldown as Bennett burst, so this is why she's my favorite shielder for Burnmelt and why I skip her skill unless I need emergency energy). I run Fav Greatsword on Xinyan to help get around this, and Xinyan has a 100% crit rate on her burst, so you don't need any crit rate on artifacts for Fav and can focus on stacking Defense only.
that team sounds so fun i think i’m gonna give it a shot later too
After fueling Shenhe FoMo for years, a lot of people will feel demoralized and trapped into wishing.
then Hoyo will turn around and say - The Chronicle system is a great success, when we know it most certainly isn't.
"fueling shenhe fomo" LMAO y'all really act like shenhe is some highly sought after character that hoyo kept hostage on purpose to mess with y'all or something. If they gave her a normal banner I GUARANTEE you her pull count would still not be very high. In fact, Hoyo themselves likely knew this hence why she's on chronicled to begin with lmao
She's incredibly niche and the teams she's good in at c0 are even MORE niche than she herself is. She is not Kazuha. She is not Furina. She is not Xilonen. She isn't some crazy game changing support that everyone and their mother is looking to pick up. But for some reason the playerbase loves to prop it up as if she somehow is when she only has ONE good teammate to support at c0 (that being Ayaka) and everyone else like Wrio just burns through her quills way too quickly to justify running her over someone else.
Who TF is getting fomo over a character like that? Lmao

@@justsomeguy727 When it takes 2 years to get another shot it doesn't matter how good a character is. Who cares about pull value? When you beat the abyss it doesn't matter how strong other characters are. Some players don't do the abyss to care about strength in the first place.
Capturing radiance saved my ass already twice. I am never going to wish on a chronicle wish banner
so they made the weopon banner better and the character banner better but the 1year old chronical system didnt change sometimes i feel like hoyo executives are stupid
they got rid of the minimum re-runs needed rule, so it's technically very slightly better than it was. Otherwise it wouldn't have had Shenhe and they'd have had to run Yelan as she was the only other liyue character that met the requirements.
I got a decent amount of pulls saved up even after Wriothesley
When the Mondstadt chronicled banner comes back 7 years from now, I'll be ready
I've been waiting for albedo for 3 years and both of the reruns he had caught me by surprise because he was low on my list. Here's hoping we luck out in patch 5.5 since Venti should show up then
I just lost my Shenhe to C2 Ganyu... As an Ayaka main, I am now coping with support Ganyu. I though I had enough to guarantee her, but I messed up the math and now I'm left with -81 Fates and -1 Fate point!! The max I can reach by the time the version ends is around 50 pity. I love this banner!!!!
sort of disappointed there is no Yelan and Hu Tao on the Chronicle banner... but at least Shenhe is there, have been waiting for her a long time.
The fact it costs the same number of wishes to get mavuika, citlali, and arlecchino as it does to get shenhe, xiao, childe, AND QIQI?? Are they insane? 😭 like the only way it would make sense to pull for them is if you’re guaranteed without worrying about the 50/50
And this time around, you can also lose your 50/50 Qiqi or Keqing lmao
I mean, they're all limited 5 star units, why WOULDN'T they cost the same to pull? (Obviously with the exception of Qiqi and Keqing).
@@Blackoutdmc Sorry to say but if there's exceptions then there is no "they all are", bud...
@@KyzenEX My point for OP still stands. The point being they're not going to reduce the amount of pulls required to obtain these units even if they're not as good as the new ones, bud...
@@KyzenEX That's a lawsuit waiting to happen from people who C6'd their old units before the chronicled banner. The primo cost for limited characters will never be an exception.
Throwing in my support for the Ganyu video! Ganyu is my favorite character, and the amount of up to date guides or content for her is extremely minimal. I love your showcases/guides for characters whether they be optimal or silly team comps, so I'll absolutely be seated for whatever Ganyu content you put out LOL. Very looking forward to it.
For me it was worth it. I got Shenhe at pity 80 and Tartaglia immediately after at 10 pity.
And since I started playing Genshin in 4.1 I didn't have the chance to get them.
But I agree that having a pity there too is shit. Since we don't have Chronicled banners often.
The way I’m watching this video knowing damn well I’m pulling for r3 baizhus weapon because he is my baby
good luck to everyone 😇
The best aspect is that you can lose your pity with another limited, so if you're slightly lucky you can win either way. Could suck to lose it to a weapon I guess but some of them could be good right, they're still limited
A shame, but not surprising. It only makes me regret not pulling Xiao earlier on because I was focused on another old character. But I've made peace with the fact that this game has a limited lifespan. Now I play another game where I can live out my Xiao fantasy. Path of Exile 2 lol
"limited lifespan" as you play another game with a limited lifespan (all live service games have a limited lifespan technically so idk what you were even getting at by saying this?) Interesting
@@justsomeguy727 I'm not playing another gacha if that's what your assuming.
game runs as long as hoyo makes money which at this rate is at least 10 more years.
@ and would the game become unrecognizable at a certain point?
You really seem to like Shenhe! ♡
yeah no way i'm ever touching this banner.
It's better than i expected in that at least Baizhu is on it. Honestly though if Chronicled Wish is only going to be for outdated characters you should just get whoever you wanted when you hit a 5* no more 50/50. Last time i lost to Albedo trying to finally get my Mona after 3 years of failing, it didn't feel great.
I have more than enough pulls for Shenhe, but at this point might as well go for the Tsarista instead than use those pulls due to powercreep. This is just like how my friend tried to convince me to pull for Kokomi when I'd rather just wait and get the Hydro archon. I said no. Got Furina later. Better investment for the account.
I aimed for Baizhu, i got him and a C1 Keqing in just 60 pulls, there goes my luck for the decade....
That banner hurt me last time even if I got Beacon in the end. I don't care how much it says it's changed, I'm not pulling again.
Lost 50/50 early to ganyu while going for xiao, the used everything to then get xiao so I have no pulls for cheve cons.
Still i see this as an absolute win. Now I have a good reason for exploring the rest of the map as only the 1.0 areas, dragonspine and the chasm are 100% everything else is between 0% and 20%
I’m still gonna pull for Shenhe xD but thank you for this video! This helps clarify a lot before I start pulling. I have 110 pulls saved so I’m hoping between those savings and the primos from this phase I can guarantee her.
Edit: Please make the Ganyu video! I love seeing other people’s thoughts on her and how they build and use her.
I genuinely think they should run one every patch. In the long-term I think it will help more consistent rerunning and easier saving for f2p players than a lot of people think. I think too many players are focussing on "getting them all" on one singular banner. But with more consistent reruns, it allows players to pick and choose rather than having to guess who will be thrown in Hoyo's dungeon. But it definitely needs some optimising.
That could be their strategy, though.
I wished on the first chronicled banner last year to get Skyward Harp for my Fischl. Immediately lost 50/50 to Skyward Blade, but got my guarantee the next 10-pull. Looking at other people's pulls, the banner seemed more "generous" but your mileage may vary.
Last year I was a very new player when I pulled on this banner. I lost my 50/50 at 76 pulls and then didn't pull again on it. However, if I were to pull again this year (I'm not) but lost the 50/50 again, since the fate point doesn't carry over, it's possible to never win this banner if you pull on it (once to pity) each year. Which is why I won't ever pull on this banner again. The fate not carrying over kills this banner; it's simply a primogem sink.
it's the same on the weapon banner. Fate points are there to stress us about losing the guarantee when the banner ends. They could have had them stay and let us choose a weapon to guarantee the next time but that would help us save money. You can always guarantee a 5 star by saving enough. If you have characters or weapons you want I think it's better to stock up on wishes for when they come back.
I’m at 45 pity and still no childe, ima keep exploring my map. I went from 20 to 45 fates in just 2 days speedrunning through everything💀💀 I’ll get him no matter what it takes
Yeah I was tempted to go for Baizhu because I kinda wanted to C6 him but... nah I'll wait. I believe in him returning to event banner one day o7 if Chronicled Wish was more frequent than once a region but yeah
Imo it’s only worth it if you want multiple things on the banner… for example…. I want Shenha, Xiao and Tartaglia, but I also use Keqing and she’s c5 rn so I wouldn’t mind getting her c6… so for someone like me it’s worth the risk
I was going to pull on Chronacled wish, but Xianyun and Yelan, the only two Liyue characters I would have considered pulling for, are both absent. So I got a c2 Citlali instead.
I wanted to tell everyone because I didn’t see anyone mention it yet but in domains on the wall behind the tree there is a mural and on it there are the same eyes as ronova maybe it means something ??
In the end... Nothing more than everyone hates Keqing...!
She's everything to me...!
The thing that bugs me is purple fake cat girl and zombie. Characters that you eventually get from losing 50:50 also in there. Shouldn't be like that. Hope they will be removed once more 5 stars in Liyue added.
It's so you can guarantee to grab them because we only got the standard selector this last year. There were launch players that never got their Jean until the last Chronicled Wish.
And since they're expanding the standard pool, that means you might want the selector for each new addition instead.
For the Inazuma Chronicled we're likely getting the second half of next patch, Mizuki (who is new and will be on a limited banner during the first half) will be the only standard character there, which will make the Inazuma Chronicled the highest value yet.
I generally agree chronicle wish is a bad deal that got worse. But minor oversight on the weapon, the limited banner you only have 37.5% chance to get your selected weapon (75% on banner wep vs 25% standard, then if 75% limited hit, then 50/50 which one). Chronicle is a 50% chance. This basically makes it break even on average when I ran it through wish simulation. But it should not really break even imo it should be cheaper.
I'd love to see what kind of shenanigans you'd come up with Ganyu. I'm going for the esteemed cocogoat myself. I'll be using her with Citlali, Mavuika and Bennett- pretty generic I know, but if it works, why not?,
I was reading the cons for my C0 Childe, and I decided that it might’ve been worth trying to go for C1 since there’s a reduced cool-down on his skill. It’s not like I was saving for anyone in particular anyways, so I did a few single pulls… and I actually got Childe within 6 single pulls 🤯
Will never get that lucky again
Also worth to mention that the last chronicled wish banner had a lot of rarer 4*, i.e all the starting cast, who are very difficult to get constellations for.
Not to discredit the Liyue 4*, they're very strong, but it's significantly easier to get them.
I'll be wishing for Ganyu on this banner! I'd love to see a video about her, if you're inclined to make one. I love seeing the teams you make and your explanations on how they work are more understandable than most!
As a person who wants Shenhe c1...
God help me
good luck on the pulls.
@@boiledliddo good news, I got Shenhe. Bad News, I am no longer going for the C1
@@cusi9854 congrats, she's still good even at C0.
Everyone complains complains and COMPLAINS about “ohh nooooo shenhe no rerun! Wriosthely cryo jail!” And when they really do rerun NOBODY actually pulls. They just complain this complain that ok fine Eula hasn’t rerun in a long time are you personally pulling her if she comes back? No. Oh don’t pull for childe, don’t pull for xiao, of course not shenhe. Ok fine. Just don’t rerun the characters and save the space for better ones. OH NO. Y’all just complain complain and complain that they dont rerun characters you don’t even want.
i know that you probably shouldnt pull on if you dont have 150 wishes but that is not gonna stop me and my 15 wishes
I pulled BOTH shenhe and xiao on the banner, in one ten pull. But it was not enough to stop me from quitting Genshin. I did not login for quite a while, and the disparity with wuwa is now obvious to me. I constantly try to heal near teleport station, to change a character while gliding, etc etc etc and not having the ability to do it irks me too much.
The real talk video lol lesgo
The answer is if they put more free pulls in to balance it out it’s fine, that is rumoured thing them working to make more events and better rewards so it might get better when they implement all that.
14:33 Ganyu definitely came in clutch for me on the first side of abyss. This is mostly because I STILL don't have Rosaria built lol.😅
For a new player like me that doesnt own alot of 5 star characters. This is a win win for me. I recently pulled for ganyu, lost to baizhu then got ganyu 10 pulls after. 😅❤
The only thing is that it's a scam. They just work like the character banners. If you lost your 50/50,then the next will be a guaranteed. What bullsh**! Atleast lower the designated pity,like maybe,instead of 80,you can get a 5 star in just 40. Or maybe,just get rid of fatepoints and let me get my character when I reached 80 wishes!
Comes out around 6PM GMT btw! (I think!)
The saying "You deserve what you tolerate" goes hard in this game
I can't believe US gov have to beat up Hoyo to force them to be less hostile toward their customer
chronicled wish probably isn't something i'd recommend pulling on unless you have enough to guarantee what you want, but if you do it's definitely an amazing thing to have in the game. i've been saving since before 5.0 for the liyue one and it was soooo worth it. got baizhu (his C2, i've had his C1 for a while), his weapon, jade cutter AND polar star (didn't get that one intentionally, lost my 50/50 to it but i'm not complaining). most took me to 80 pulls but i'm happy nonetheless :3 one thing i will say though is that even after nearly 300 pulls i didn't get a single lithic weapon or yaoyao and gaming cons 😭😭i was hoping to get some but i guess that's where my luck ran out
"Don't wish on the Chronicle Banner if you don't have enough to guarantee the thing you want."
That's how I treat my wishes to ALL limited banners since day 1! Dude, I expect ALL my wishes to hit hard pity and lose my 50/50s. I didn't even wish for the weapon banner until the Epitomized Path was added! Saving primos as f2p is hard so I choose which characters/weapons to wish for very carefully.
As a veteran player, I'm actually happy with this Chronicled banner. Natlan chars aren't as hyped for a lot of people, and so I rather roll for chars I haven't used before in the past. I like the Liyue designs for the most part so losing 50/50 on anyone would be a win for me (except Keqing cuz I already have her). No matter how amazing the Natlan character kits may be, I just don't like their designs and can't justify me spending resources to pull for numbers.
the fact that it uses the intertwined fates... have always made the banner crap.
Standard wishes would make the banner way worse.
whats pretty stupid is that they dont tell you it doesn’t go over different chronicle wish banners
I personally think the banner the is aomewhat worthwhile, especially as a f2p if you want more than one character from that banner, since you can lose it to another character that isnt just a standard character. I know you can still get keqing and qiqi but but its still better slightly better because there's a small chance it isnt gonna be qiqi or keqing.
I do wish that they either lower the pity or just make it so the fate points carry over, because of the recent changes to the weapon and character banner definitely made it worth less than it used to. Also there should be a consistent schedule to the chronicle wish since it's a bit hard to prepare dor a character when you don't know when its coming back. I would like to add that it would be great if we could trigger capturing radience in the chronicle wish.
Is hard to say, cause if you where a new player you had the chance of getting at least 3 of them if you saved enough, the one you want the 5050 lost one and the 3rd if you want it
If this was the first chronicle banner this wouldve sold so much as these units were actually still pretty decent when the first one came out. Now days this banner is worse then the regular banner in every way possible, even for weapons.
proud pre-chronicled shenhe owner 🤚
I still getting shenhu. Lost 50/50 for her like two years ago?
Honestly, if hard pity was 50 instead of of 90 or something lower I think people would have loved it.
Big problems already stated aside, the fact that they are putting standard banner characters on this is awful. Players dont need to lose to qi qi again nor is a single account gunning for her. As a welkin only player since patch 1 she is my only c6 5 star.
I would absolutely love a ganyu Mavuika video
To be honest, it feels like they adjusted the banner a bit to catch early, even if not official. Pulled 3 copies of PJWS to finally have Xiao C6R5 and needed 100 pulls for it.
I can finally be a dps Shenhe main after getting her at 2 pity. Now I’ll save for when she comes back in a few years and c6 her 🌚.
