Personally this weapon banner makes me very happy. Never before have I had less reason to consider spending any pulls there, saving them for something better.
I know I won't roll on these banners for sure, but it's still so entertaining to watch this video because you are very well-spoken, and it's just nice to hear you talk about the characters
"If you really really like Baizhu and think his weapon is too pretty to skip... find god" 🤣 dying over here, that was great. Too true. I love Baizhu and I'm very happy with him on the teams I have him on, and he's very fun for co-op because he's practically the only healer who can enable co-op Furina hyperbloom teams, but I'm never getting his weapon, no way 😅 maybe constellations, but not the weapon, that's for sure
I got a single copy.... Just like in xianyun's banner... I can't believe I've gotten more copies of her from standard banner than from banners that actually featured her
I got wanderer, itto, Xianyun, all of them with faruzan as 4*, and i still have her at C4 (and 1 was the gifted faruzan). (i have no hopes to get her more than one's in this banner at this point)
@@lowkeychains Just slap it on a Fischl if you have one, she doesn't play like a bow user (you only ever use her for Oz) and it's a fine stat stick on her
C1 Wanderer haver here (with R3 Lost Prayers), I have never actively used wanderer in abyss HOWEVER to me he is the best character for anything that doesn't include abyss 12: -His autotracking attacks+ range + low cooldown on his fly makes him insanely strong to navigate the open world and kill enemies that if you have a melee character they might be a pain to reach or you get stuck on small edges - My exploration team is Wanderer Fischl Kazuha Kokomi, (Kokomi E, Fischl E, Kazuha 2xE with sac sword and the whole camp is dead or if elite enemies you finish with wanderer) The anemo resonance helps even further with speed between camps and puzzles. When I put Wanderer out of my team when trying new characters it feels sooo slow and clunky, I have tried an crazy amount of comps and the only one coming close is a C1 xianyun with neuvilette and kazuha. I want to say that I am a 1.0 player that have been clearing 36 stars since 1.x, some people would consider me a metaslave but i still consider him a top 3 dps for non endgame player that don't need to rush into the abyss12 for how confortable he is to play in ANY not abyss 12 content. and for people like me who can easily clear 36 stars with multiple different teams already, he is just an insanely valuable in terms of confort pull for the overworld content. Great video, i totally agree that if your only goal is to clear abyss you might wanna consider other options especially if you are reaching just the AR 55/56/57 and you don't have many characters yet.
My Wanderer is more than strong enough for floor 12, but for me he is pretty much what Venti is for most people: The perfect character for floor 9 to 11, fast and with a ton of range, fun and easy but not THAT easy to play (Unlike neuvi who is just way too broken lol, but I also use him on the other side if I'm not on the mood to think even for a little bit about some wacky team for fun), from the moment that i got him in his first banner he has been in almost every single Abyss cycle from floor 9 to 11, and just the amount of hours that I used him in the overworld made me REALLY consider going for constellations on a character for the first time, I even got to 73 pity in his rerun but then calmed down because I prefer getting more character, but the temptation was crazy lol My exploration team is pretty much Xiao's FFXX team but with Wanderer instead, Faruzan's buff is more than enough for even the toughest fights in overworld so XY and Furina are there for traveling and quickheals lol, and Faru + Wanderer's bursts already delete most small camps too (And even if using only Faru's burst makes certain fights longer, that just mean a little bit more of challenge for the overworld, which is fine by me XD)
@@bobthehandyman3650 you're not doing him a great service just emphasizing how good he is in non FL12 abyss tbh. At C1R0 he should mog Floor 12 with c6 Faru, shield or no shield. Though I do agree he has lots of QoL, even more than Venti in lower floor since Venti's burst in stationary while he tracks faraway enemies. Cheers!
At least Layla its a complete and viable character at C0 and/or without being a nerfed version of previous characters, something the other Sumeru 4 stars can't say (except Yaoyao and maybe Collei). Her main problem is there are no decent swords with HP substat if you want to use her as a pure shieldbot. Anyway, both banner are ez skip for me.
Few tips for Wanderer: When you get hit in the air with you can dash to avoid the long ass falling animation If you want to play him with Furina you can go double healing bonus or 4 maiden's beloved on your Bennett While exploring you can press the dash without pressing the forward button when on a slope to keep going fast
Also if plan to play him with furina, tulaytula and Wriothesley weapon have a lot more pull value, cause he can overcap on crit rate super easily (36% marchausse set + 20% from cryo absorption + 5 base crit rate)
Yesterday I did a lot of wishing (I've been saving for like 2 or 3 months). I wanted Wanderer (I didn't have him, planned to go for c0-c2) and c6 Faruzan (had her at c0). After cirka 240 wishes I had c1 Wanderer (and 1 Qiqi) and c4 Faruzan. Let's just say I was pretty devastated. I didn't care much about Wanderers const, but I REALLY wanted c6 Faruzan. I swiped for two more ten pulls. The first one got me another Qiqi, but the second one got me two Faruzans. Those two Faruzans in a single ten-pull felt like a gift from god. So yeah, trying to c6 a 4 star sucks.
Decided to throw a 10-pull at Baizhu's banner to see if I could get a Faruzan or Layla con and Baizhu decided to come home instead. Not even upset. Happy to have him on my account and now I can play the Neuv, Furina, Kazuha, Baizhu team. And thanks for the banner review, Zajef.
As a depressed and regretful 2x green donut haver-- Please, wanderer mains.. please, for your sanity, skip this weapon banner.. I really should've waited for Furina's rerun to go for her sig😢
Its quite sad that the Only day that Fav sword that has been missing from weapon banners for a pretty long time appears in a pretty mediocre 5* weapon line up. Mr. Zacheff, you are getting a Fav sword before Natlan, im not Coping 👀👀👀
9:50 According to wiki (I've been reading about RES and a few other mechanics some time ago), you've got one thing wrong about the res. Here's basically what wiki says: When RES is positive+, the RES SHRED is 100% effective. When RES is at 0 or negative-, RSE SHRED is only 50% effective. Examples: If enemy has 60% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at 20% RES. If enemy has 0% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at at at -20%, because the 40% RES SHRED is halved, because RES was already at 0% If enemy has 20% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at -10%, because it takes the 20% RES SHRED to put RES at 0% and the remaining 20% RES SHRED is halved to 10% and puts RES at -10% I really want some feedback about this, because I've read this on wiki, so I might have missunderstood this, or the wiki itself might be wrong Also, if what I wrote is true, then stacking RES SHRED is even less effective than you said
Baizhu was a Godsend for me when I pulled him along with Furina. Honestly without him me pulling Furina would have been pointless. He's that good. This is as someone who has been playing since 1.0 but still doesn't have Jean (no I didn't pull on that scam of a banner they ran last patch). Baizhu is quite good. If you can spare the primos I'd grab him. Big QoL unit.
I absolutely love Baizhu, having a team-wide heal with his skill is so nice. I'm never afraid of dying in the abyss when I have him, everything is so easy and comfy + he has a cute snake! :D
18:07 yao yao's radishes also have aoe in aoe situations. And in those situations, you usually play kazuha. So you end up getting better dedro than baizhu's better single target app
I was lucky I got my last Layla constellation before reaching pity. She might not be awesome but I love her and knowing she'll be even more useful is really good.
the worst thing about baizhu's weapon is that a significantly restricted sign weapon like arle's is at worst a stat stick better than many 4*, but with baizhu's having HP stat and passive that absolutely NO ONE can utilise at any point, its just worst than TTDS. man, at this point Im gettin c6 wanderer before his sign.
I might roll for Baizhu since I got his weapon when he first came out when I was trying to get Nahida's weapon. I'm going to wait to see which characters are on the next patch to make my decision.
I pulled wanderer because I love his playstyle and the main issue with him was 100% the amount of investment needed for him to feel strong (which luckily wasn't an issue for me) and also the lack of C6 faruzan (which I now have) but now that I got his c2 and I have triple crowned wanderer, he feels so strong and against maagu kenki I clear in 20s
Your Beidous crown is telling ;) if you're more of a gamer, try taser! it will take a bit to understand how much damage that team is actually doing! yaoyao instead of Xingqiu works as well!!
I’m actually fine w risking to win my 50/50 on Baizhu. All I need is 2 more Faruzans. But come on, why can’t Beidou leave me alone 😢 edit: so yea i finally got c6 faru w only a few pulls left for a 5 star 🥳
I saw how awful the weapons were gonna be on this banner (jade/bell) and told myself "man they're gonna run fav sword on this banner just to mess with zajef" and there you go, at least you can look at fav as the entire reason to pull on the weapon banner but at the end of the day chasing 4*s is asking for trouble
i gambled hard on this one. had 1 Pity after Kazuha Banner as F2P and i absolutly love Faruzan Designe and Beidou so i just had to go for those pulled till 71 no 5 Star good. Sadly only 2 Faruzan Copys and 1 Beidou BUT 5 Leyla... man this game.
about scara's passive and c4 i actually find all of them useful the hydro increase the duration which translate to more dmg (especially with c6) the electro with faruzan makes it possible to ult twice in a rotation even with zero er (can be clanky if you don't get the hydro one with it) cryo is too op id say the least useful one is the atk from pyro but i play scara in a faru furina mika team so it kinda makes up for the lack of atk buffers
watching this as someone whos pulling for wanderer no matter what and has c2 baizhu not planing 2 get more cons like ah yes.... this will help me choose immensely
tbh, I feel Wanderer's constellations are overall quite underwhelming, BUT his C6 is among the best 5* C6 in the game. The additional NAs have ICD of their own; for reactions it doesn't matter much for Wanderer as that's not his main playstyle, but for SHIELD SHREDDING it's INSANE. Quite a few enemies have fat shields, and his C6 destroys those without having to swap out for another character and fuck up your rotation. The additional damage instances counting as NAs also make Echoes a better set, and from my experience, even with high ping it becomes quite more consistent. It activates his talent's special aerial dash more frequently too, and with C1's attack speed and damage bonus, the DPS is very notable. Lastly, it also increases the duration of his flying state as you attack for 2 more seconds, which is surprisingly quite a lot with how fast he attacks - it's the same amount as the Hydro buff from his ascension passive, so he can remain airborne for a total of 14 seconds if he also has it. Faruzan's buff lasts throughout the entire duration of his buffed state even then, and so does his signature weapon's passive.
there's a question i've been wondering for a while about Layla. If you want to have the strongest shield possible, is 2pc 2pc hp sets better or 4pc tenacity? I'm just not sure what 30% shield strength really translates to, and i don't think she can keep the tenacity buff up 100% of the time anyway.
4pc tenacity is better for shield strength (in theory atleast). She can keep 100% uptime of tenacity if your shield don't get broken (and if you refresh it on time thats a rare situation)
As a Heizou main and Wanderer haver, C6 Faruzan is SO IMPORTANT. She's a completely different character from C0-C5. My Heizou's damage is completely different with her.
I already have wanderer and c6 faruzan so I'm already past the pain of playing him without. I pulled on weapon banner and got jadefall in the first 10 pull. 80 pulls later I got the bell. I was so relieved that hoyo didn't force me to pull a 3rd weapon as I only had around 1800 gems left. Hoyo really need to change how weapon banners work. My advice: don't play wanderer without c6 faruzan vs floor 12 unless you have a lot of patience :)
Should I pull for Baizhu if I plan on getting Furina? Dunno if I'll be able to get Furina, but have a pretty hefty amount of content to do. I have Nahida Kuki, Ayato, Neuvillette, Yoimiya and the main 4-stars with their constellations
As someone who have furina,baizhu,koko, xianyun, i barely use furina and baizhu, its more for cyno/al comps, not a big fan of that duo, koko and xianyun work better with her in most scenario
@@impostorsyndrome1350he's a good teammate for her, but far from needed when there's more options. If you don't know if you'll have enough for her then just prioritise her instead and save she's such a good unit
As a person who got his C6 today - if someone doesn't like to invest too much in a character, wishing for him is a bad idea. Wanderer is a character that is really flexible and can give amazing results provided that you devote a lot of time, resources and resin to building him. If you prefer to collect characters, you'll never have time to do so because you'll always run out of resources, making characters like Neuvilette and Arlecchino far better since they don't require as much. Wanderer will never perform as well with Shimenawa as Arlecchino with Gladiator set for example. But if you are the type of person who doesn't like to get distracted, building 30 characters seems exhausting and instead just prefers to have 2 strong teams that will perform well in abyss and on the surface, he is really good. I personaly found myself in a situation where I simply spent so much time building him and learning to use him well, that all the other characters seemed underwhelming. Even my C1R1 Neuvilette (top 5% on akasha) didn't perform that well in abyss. But do you have a chance for a similar situation? Probably not, because who would want to spend 2 years looking for artifacts 💀 If you are normal and don't want to spend so much time on one character - listen to the meta and wish for characters that require less dedication So as the person who has most of the "meta" DPS characters at the moment: Wanderer value for "collector" - 3,5/10 Wanderer's value for a person who wants to find a amazing character to main - 8.5/10
You should've talked about Bennett and Furina with Wanderer more. It feels like Faruzan is presented as his only buffer, but that is not the case because Wanderer has many teams cycling between using one, two, or even all three in a team.
Is cause wanderer dmg is not even decent without faruzan C6 (faruzan C6 buff wanderer almost as much as bennet and furina at the same time, is crazy how good she is, and wanderer is balance around that constellation)
pretty bad, i just spend around 70 pull just to try to get one copy of faruzan and didnt get at all. Just need one more copy to c6. And i have both of the 5star of them. this banner is nightmare.
I can also relate to not getting Fav swords too 😭. For years I only had one R3 Fav sword and recently I got another Fav sword while pulling for Arlecchino's scythe. Now I can't decide if I should R4 it or level it up for another character to use.
39:05 why are you bashing the bell so badly. Its still a 9% increase from lost prayer ( 5 star) and more than 10% on r5 widsith on average All his other options are way behind, this is pretty much the obly unconditional one that you dont have to play around the mechanics of and resitrict your teams Widsith rotations are longer and older players might have r5 but i certainly know i dont playing for more than half a year. And even if people dont, alot of them prefer to not restart the chamber everytime its the wrong passive I certainly see how its a bit worse than some other signatures. But its still not a bad signature and not a bad stat stick Even on low cost speed runs. People use his weapon when they can. Not to mention its a higher team increase since hes a hypercarry If baizhu's weapon wasnt there. Im pretty confident in the opinion that this would be a relatively strong weapon banner And im sorry if i came off a bit aggressive, I'm still open to other opinions and discussion
to be honest and fair no matter the math on this one or all your yapping, pull the bell is only worth if you can see yourself with like -33600 primogems and 2 green donuts in addition to the Tullaytullah
You didn't mention that his weapon is not even better than other 5 stars agains 2 or more targets (and most content is not strictly single target). So his weapon is not a win win like other hypercarry weapon (like neuvillettes, raiden's C2 or arlechino). If a 5* signature weapon, is not his best weapon in dmg (or atleast the same as others) for every hypercarry team, then that is not even worth it.
question, i want to use my cyno, i feel however that he's significally hard to use in multiwave content because of the dendro application, i have nahida, yaoyao, dendro mc, tighnari and kahve, should i get baizu given that i have enough primos and i don really plan on getting anyone else in a while?
I would. Cyno, furina, Baizhu teams is one of the only teams where cyno feels good to use no matter what. And Nahida is a lot more versatile, having Baizhu allow you to try new strong nahida teams in the ond side of the abyss, while use cyno in the other.
Faruzan hates me and I wanna hate her back but I can't Still on C1 after 100+ pulls when she was on banner... which does include one free one from an event 😭 Guess I'll continue to use my Wanderer overworld team without her... Edit: Also, regardless of what Zajef says, Wanderer is my favourite unit of all, especially his playstyle. I run him without a shielder and Faruzan and it goes fine, even in abyss, and his attack sounds are just so statisfying to me. Also floating around as you see Guoba kill enemies like the Emperor screaming "Do it" to Anakin is just one of my favourite things ever.
25:26 is this only for one hit? And is it a base multiplier like the song of days past set? Cuz its a 2k base multiplier at 40k hp. Which is good if it isnt a single hit
Yes, it lasts for 0.05 seconds after a hit. However, it happens every time the shield shoots out stars, so around 3-4 times per rotation. It’s not worthless, but not that impactful either.
@@georgezhang1573 it's like a solid song of days past effect built into her kit And song of days past isn't as bad as people initially thought. It's actually decent considering I never knew she even had this con
@@MuhaamadAreeb It’s possible to accidentally waste the buff on a non carry. Even then, what’s to say your carry is always on field during the 3 second window in which her buff is active, which is also on a pseudo-sporadic trigger condition for the most part? And if you get everything to align, the buff is still mediocre at best.
Personally, I prefer playing Wanderer without a defensive utility character than character like Nueve. I can live with getting knocked around occasionally because he doesn't lose his full window.
Offtopic but, Clorinde's E duration was nerfed from 9s to 7.5s sadge. Her slash in E state numbers were increased slightly (from 46.2%*3 to 49.8%*3) in return, though I don't know how much that makes up for it. Regardless, an on fielder losing uptime is a big hit. Edit: Did some preliminary calcs. The old rotation was Q E (stance change) E*2 (N3E)*6, and as far as I can tell the new rotation in 7.5s should be in theory Q E (stance change) E*2 (N3E)*4 and then maybe you get off a couple more normal attacks. If I use the updated numbers and assume the best case scenario with getting off another N3, we still have a 15.23% Damage loss during her E cycle.
26:03 i use her with him every time coppelia of coppelius is around ( the 250% effectiveness is nice) Hes just so broken that giving him the 3rd stack is justification enough for me. Zhonli is better though, i just dont have him
I got Arlecchino spear in the last hour. Yes, I bought 10 + 10 bonus pulls, and it was after I lost 50/50 to the stupid Lyney bow that now sits with my three Amos bows, and yes I intend to pull for both Clorinde and Sigewinne, just like Mr. Zy0x said live laugh lament
I got like 4 cons of her from the Standard banner. Idk what the Gacha was smoking, considering I don't have a single Anemo damage character on my roster.
Why is Baizhu never mentioned for defensive utility for wanderer? 1. Mini shields block a hit up to 6 times 2. Aerial dodging avoids many other hits 3. Immediate synergy with furina 4. Prototype Amber helps battery for faruzan and furina without overloading furina for ER just to burst off CD
Forget Furina, Baizhu’s also a great choice if you run C6 Fischl in the last slot. Wanderer is one of her best drivers with his fast attack speed and Baizhu provides something for Oz to aggravate on.
You can’t rely on his shields for interruption resistance. I’ve tried it. For Furina, I’d always prefer Mika, gives atk spd which is actually important on Wanderer who has no hitlag. Faruzan and Furina both often use favonius weapons and if Faruzan is C6 she doesn’t have as much er issues as pre-c6. I’d say he’s better off not being mentioned for Wanderer…
Because Wanderer’s best two teammates are c6 Faruzan and Bennett by a huge margin. Where are you finding the space to fit both a Baizhu and a Furina. And Baizhu without a Furina is terrible with Wanderer, especially since Bennett is already there.
Definitely a well rounded banner, everything except the five star weapons is fine but not amazing, I am just saving for clorinde because I have baizhu and xiao + xianyun and my faruzan and beidou are c6
I need Baizhu because I can fit him in a lot of my teams AND there's Faruzan too which I need her cons so badly. But Clorinde hhhhhh. Looks like I'll just have to wait for his Chronicle Banner 😔
zajef kept mentioning how wanderer is mostly only good for exploration, but that’s the thing, 90% of this game is wanderer. he’s so convenient, and, powerful enough to go even further. i pulled alhaitham before him but have found use in wanderer 5x more.
Personally this weapon banner makes me very happy. Never before have I had less reason to consider spending any pulls there, saving them for something better.

C1 Wanderer haver here (with R3 Lost Prayers), I have never actively used wanderer in abyss HOWEVER to me he is the best character for anything that doesn't include abyss 12:
-His autotracking attacks+ range + low cooldown on his fly makes him insanely strong to navigate the open world and kill enemies that if you have a melee character they might be a pain to reach or you get stuck on small edges
- My exploration team is Wanderer Fischl Kazuha Kokomi, (Kokomi E, Fischl E, Kazuha 2xE with sac sword and the whole camp is dead or if elite enemies you finish with wanderer) The anemo resonance helps even further with speed between camps and puzzles.
When I put Wanderer out of my team when trying new characters it feels sooo slow and clunky, I have tried an crazy amount of comps and the only one coming close is a C1 xianyun with neuvilette and kazuha.
I want to say that I am a 1.0 player that have been clearing 36 stars since 1.x, some people would consider me a metaslave but i still consider him a top 3 dps for non endgame player that don't need to rush into the abyss12 for how confortable he is to play in ANY not abyss 12 content. and for people like me who can easily clear 36 stars with multiple different teams already, he is just an insanely valuable in terms of confort pull for the overworld content.
Great video, i totally agree that if your only goal is to clear abyss you might wanna consider other options especially if you are reaching just the AR 55/56/57 and you don't have many characters yet.
My Wanderer is more than strong enough for floor 12, but for me he is pretty much what Venti is for most people: The perfect character for floor 9 to 11, fast and with a ton of range, fun and easy but not THAT easy to play (Unlike neuvi who is just way too broken lol, but I also use him on the other side if I'm not on the mood to think even for a little bit about some wacky team for fun), from the moment that i got him in his first banner he has been in almost every single Abyss cycle from floor 9 to 11, and just the amount of hours that I used him in the overworld made me REALLY consider going for constellations on a character for the first time, I even got to 73 pity in his rerun but then calmed down because I prefer getting more character, but the temptation was crazy lol
My exploration team is pretty much Xiao's FFXX team but with Wanderer instead, Faruzan's buff is more than enough for even the toughest fights in overworld so XY and Furina are there for traveling and quickheals lol, and Faru + Wanderer's bursts already delete most small camps too (And even if using only Faru's burst makes certain fights longer, that just mean a little bit more of challenge for the overworld, which is fine by me XD)
Stop coping and just admit that he is good in abyss. Go watch genshin noir and stop relying exclusively on zajeff for meta analysis and calcs.

These are some of the weapon banners of all times

Few tips for Wanderer:
When you get hit in the air with you can dash to avoid the long ass falling animation
If you want to play him with Furina you can go double healing bonus or 4 maiden's beloved on your Bennett
While exploring you can press the dash without pressing the forward button when on a slope to keep going fast
for people who have farmed Navia's set , 4pc song of days past is better than maiden if you want to build a full healing build Bennett
Also if plan to play him with furina, tulaytula and Wriothesley weapon have a lot more pull value, cause he can overcap on crit rate super easily (36% marchausse set + 20% from cryo absorption + 5 base crit rate)
I already got wanderer, c6 faru and baizhu so it feels good to completely skip these banners
Yesterday I did a lot of wishing (I've been saving for like 2 or 3 months). I wanted Wanderer (I didn't have him, planned to go for c0-c2) and c6 Faruzan (had her at c0). After cirka 240 wishes I had c1 Wanderer (and 1 Qiqi) and c4 Faruzan. Let's just say I was pretty devastated.
I didn't care much about Wanderers const, but I REALLY wanted c6 Faruzan. I swiped for two more ten pulls. The first one got me another Qiqi, but the second one got me two Faruzans. Those two Faruzans in a single ten-pull felt like a gift from god. So yeah, trying to c6 a 4 star sucks.
Decided to throw a 10-pull at Baizhu's banner to see if I could get a Faruzan or Layla con and Baizhu decided to come home instead. Not even upset. Happy to have him on my account and now I can play the Neuv, Furina, Kazuha, Baizhu team.
And thanks for the banner review, Zajef.
As a depressed and regretful 2x green donut haver-- Please, wanderer mains.. please, for your sanity, skip this weapon banner..
I really should've waited for Furina's rerun to go for her sig😢
Its quite sad that the Only day that Fav sword that has been missing from weapon banners for a pretty long time appears in a pretty mediocre 5* weapon line up. Mr. Zacheff, you are getting a Fav sword before Natlan, im not Coping 👀👀👀
All weapon banners make me sad. Every single one.
This weapon banner is great! I did one pull and got fav :D
9:50 According to wiki (I've been reading about RES and a few other mechanics some time ago), you've got one thing wrong about the res. Here's basically what wiki says:
When RES is positive+, the RES SHRED is 100% effective. When RES is at 0 or negative-, RSE SHRED is only 50% effective. Examples:
If enemy has 60% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at 20% RES.
If enemy has 0% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at at at -20%, because the 40% RES SHRED is halved, because RES was already at 0%
If enemy has 20% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at -10%, because it takes the 20% RES SHRED to put RES at 0% and the remaining 20% RES SHRED is halved to 10% and puts RES at -10%
I really want some feedback about this, because I've read this on wiki, so I might have missunderstood this, or the wiki itself might be wrong
Also, if what I wrote is true, then stacking RES SHRED is even less effective than you said
You are correct
Interestingly, the initial and final multiplier difference correctly reflects this.
Baizhu was a Godsend for me when I pulled him along with Furina. Honestly without him me pulling Furina would have been pointless. He's that good. This is as someone who has been playing since 1.0 but still doesn't have Jean (no I didn't pull on that scam of a banner they ran last patch).
Baizhu is quite good. If you can spare the primos I'd grab him. Big QoL unit.
I absolutely love Baizhu, having a team-wide heal with his skill is so nice. I'm never afraid of dying in the abyss when I have him, everything is so easy and comfy + he has a cute snake! :D
moldy donut makin a return
18:07 yao yao's radishes also have aoe in aoe situations. And in those situations, you usually play kazuha. So you end up getting better dedro than baizhu's better single target app
This man says the same thing about every weapon banner
I mean, he is not wrong. Weapon banner sucks
I was lucky I got my last Layla constellation before reaching pity. She might not be awesome but I love her and knowing she'll be even more useful is really good.
the worst thing about baizhu's weapon is that a significantly restricted sign weapon like arle's is at worst a stat stick better than many 4*, but with baizhu's having HP stat and passive that absolutely NO ONE can utilise at any point, its just worst than TTDS.
man, at this point Im gettin c6 wanderer before his sign.
Wanderer will fix ur overworld, his flying is still unmatched. He is the only reson i even attempt Sumeru desert.
The Range Gayge joke by the editor was so good.
Good luck to everyone pulling on these banners 👍
Big thanks to Zajef and the editing team for these videos
never regretted wishing for baizhu
I might roll for Baizhu since I got his weapon when he first came out when I was trying to get Nahida's weapon. I'm going to wait to see which characters are on the next patch to make my decision.
Beido is also good for using Mika with Eula and Raiden. Damage resistance makes up for meh healing.
one buff to wanderer zajef forgot to cover here is that the fontaine reputation glider looks absolutely sick on him
Playing Wanderer's trial makes me go "holy attack speed batman" like they make him feel crazy fun to play
I pulled wanderer because I love his playstyle and the main issue with him was 100% the amount of investment needed for him to feel strong (which luckily wasn't an issue for me) and also the lack of C6 faruzan (which I now have) but now that I got his c2 and I have triple crowned wanderer, he feels so strong and against maagu kenki I clear in 20s
Your Beidous crown is telling ;) if you're more of a gamer, try taser! it will take a bit to understand how much damage that team is actually doing! yaoyao instead of Xingqiu works as well!!
I’m actually fine w risking to win my 50/50 on Baizhu. All I need is 2 more Faruzans. But come on, why can’t Beidou leave me alone 😢
edit: so yea i finally got c6 faru w only a few pulls left for a 5 star 🥳
I saw how awful the weapons were gonna be on this banner (jade/bell) and told myself "man they're gonna run fav sword on this banner just to mess with zajef" and there you go, at least you can look at fav as the entire reason to pull on the weapon banner but at the end of the day chasing 4*s is asking for trouble
OF COURSE they had to put fav sword on this banner, watch the next fav sword be next year with the donut & eula's weapon 🥲
i gambled hard on this one. had 1 Pity after Kazuha Banner as F2P
and i absolutly love Faruzan Designe and Beidou so i just had to go for those pulled till 71 no 5 Star good.
Sadly only 2 Faruzan Copys and 1 Beidou BUT 5 Leyla... man this game.
as soon as i get c6 faruzan i'll go for wanderer but rn i want baizhu
I'll add to Baizhu C1 - Double Skilling pretty much heals the entire team to full, which in turn makes Furina Teams even nicer.
Love the vid 👍
about scara's passive and c4 i actually find all of them useful
the hydro increase the duration which translate to more dmg (especially with c6)
the electro with faruzan makes it possible to ult twice in a rotation even with zero er (can be clanky if you don't get the hydro one with it)
cryo is too op
id say the least useful one is the atk from pyro but i play scara in a faru furina mika team so it kinda makes up for the lack of atk buffers
Beidou is really underated. She is super cracked against 2-3 targets. Also her with xinqui make arlechino feel invincible
watching this as someone whos pulling for wanderer no matter what and has c2 baizhu not planing 2 get more cons like ah yes.... this will help me choose immensely
tbh, I feel Wanderer's constellations are overall quite underwhelming, BUT his C6 is among the best 5* C6 in the game. The additional NAs have ICD of their own; for reactions it doesn't matter much for Wanderer as that's not his main playstyle, but for SHIELD SHREDDING it's INSANE. Quite a few enemies have fat shields, and his C6 destroys those without having to swap out for another character and fuck up your rotation.
The additional damage instances counting as NAs also make Echoes a better set, and from my experience, even with high ping it becomes quite more consistent. It activates his talent's special aerial dash more frequently too, and with C1's attack speed and damage bonus, the DPS is very notable. Lastly, it also increases the duration of his flying state as you attack for 2 more seconds, which is surprisingly quite a lot with how fast he attacks - it's the same amount as the Hydro buff from his ascension passive, so he can remain airborne for a total of 14 seconds if he also has it. Faruzan's buff lasts throughout the entire duration of his buffed state even then, and so does his signature weapon's passive.
there's a question i've been wondering for a while about Layla. If you want to have the strongest shield possible, is 2pc 2pc hp sets better or 4pc tenacity? I'm just not sure what 30% shield strength really translates to, and i don't think she can keep the tenacity buff up 100% of the time anyway.
4pc tenacity is better for shield strength (in theory atleast).
She can keep 100% uptime of tenacity if your shield don't get broken (and if you refresh it on time thats a rare situation)
@@cleod7439 thanks the for the info.
I like using Beidou with Neuvillette. I also have Furina and Jean in that same team. Beidou's energy requirements are pretty massive though
As a Heizou main and Wanderer haver, C6 Faruzan is SO IMPORTANT. She's a completely different character from C0-C5.
My Heizou's damage is completely different with her.
I already have wanderer and c6 faruzan so I'm already past the pain of playing him without. I pulled on weapon banner and got jadefall in the first 10 pull. 80 pulls later I got the bell. I was so relieved that hoyo didn't force me to pull a 3rd weapon as I only had around 1800 gems left. Hoyo really need to change how weapon banners work. My advice: don't play wanderer without c6 faruzan vs floor 12 unless you have a lot of patience :)
Should I pull for Baizhu if I plan on getting Furina? Dunno if I'll be able to get Furina, but have a pretty hefty amount of content to do. I have Nahida Kuki, Ayato, Neuvillette, Yoimiya and the main 4-stars with their constellations
As someone who have furina,baizhu,koko, xianyun, i barely use furina and baizhu, its more for cyno/al comps, not a big fan of that duo, koko and xianyun work better with her in most scenario
No, get Furina instead. She doesn't need Baizhu except for Cyno quickbloom
if you have enough wishes yes baizhu is one of furinas best teamates
@@8lefry8 oh, it's contrary to what ppl above said
@@impostorsyndrome1350he's a good teammate for her, but far from needed when there's more options. If you don't know if you'll have enough for her then just prioritise her instead and save she's such a good unit
As a person who got his C6 today - if someone doesn't like to invest too much in a character, wishing for him is a bad idea. Wanderer is a character that is really flexible and can give amazing results provided that you devote a lot of time, resources and resin to building him. If you prefer to collect characters, you'll never have time to do so because you'll always run out of resources, making characters like Neuvilette and Arlecchino far better since they don't require as much. Wanderer will never perform as well with Shimenawa as Arlecchino with Gladiator set for example. But if you are the type of person who doesn't like to get distracted, building 30 characters seems exhausting and instead just prefers to have 2 strong teams that will perform well in abyss and on the surface, he is really good.
I personaly found myself in a situation where I simply spent so much time building him and learning to use him well, that all the other characters seemed underwhelming. Even my C1R1 Neuvilette (top 5% on akasha) didn't perform that well in abyss.
But do you have a chance for a similar situation? Probably not, because who would want to spend 2 years looking for artifacts 💀 If you are normal and don't want to spend so much time on one character - listen to the meta and wish for characters that require less dedication
So as the person who has most of the "meta" DPS characters at the moment:
Wanderer value for "collector" - 3,5/10
Wanderer's value for a person who wants to find a amazing character to main - 8.5/10
You should've talked about Bennett and Furina with Wanderer more. It feels like Faruzan is presented as his only buffer, but that is not the case because Wanderer has many teams cycling between using one, two, or even all three in a team.
Is cause wanderer dmg is not even decent without faruzan C6 (faruzan C6 buff wanderer almost as much as bennet and furina at the same time, is crazy how good she is, and wanderer is balance around that constellation)
ive used double anemo dps for a year straight
not even coppelia, coppelius, or wenut has stopped me
which teams do you use?
@@msssmystery oh
kazu benny thoma faru
wanderer xingqiu furina jean (xingqiu for interrupt res and energy)
the support core trio sometimes swaps
The more people who doesn’t pull for Wanderer, the stronger my Wanderer will be 💪✨
Got lucky with C2 Wanderer and C6 Faruzan! Rolled on weapon banner...got 2 donuts. Pain.
9:55 Isn't res shred halved below zero
39:07 Someone in chat said "We're just making up people now" 💀
pretty bad, i just spend around 70 pull just to try to get one copy of faruzan and didnt get at all. Just need one more copy to c6. And i have both of the 5star of them. this banner is nightmare.
I can also relate to not getting Fav swords too 😭. For years I only had one R3 Fav sword and recently I got another Fav sword while pulling for Arlecchino's scythe. Now I can't decide if I should R4 it or level it up for another character to use.
I have an R1 Baizhu donut from getting Furina's sig and **2** Wanderer bells from getting Itto's sig
this weapon banner makes me so angry
39:05 why are you bashing the bell so badly. Its still a 9% increase from lost prayer ( 5 star) and more than 10% on r5 widsith on average
All his other options are way behind, this is pretty much the obly unconditional one that you dont have to play around the mechanics of and resitrict your teams
Widsith rotations are longer and older players might have r5 but i certainly know i dont playing for more than half a year. And even if people dont, alot of them prefer to not restart the chamber everytime its the wrong passive
I certainly see how its a bit worse than some other signatures. But its still not a bad signature and not a bad stat stick
Even on low cost speed runs. People use his weapon when they can. Not to mention its a higher team increase since hes a hypercarry
If baizhu's weapon wasnt there. Im pretty confident in the opinion that this would be a relatively strong weapon banner
And im sorry if i came off a bit aggressive, I'm still open to other opinions and discussion
His own weapon is worse than another character's BiS, why bother wasting primogems for something that has no other value other than to look pretty?
to be honest and fair no matter the math on this one or all your yapping, pull the bell is only worth if you can see yourself with like -33600 primogems and 2 green donuts in addition to the Tullaytullah
for a second i thought you were talking about the actual bell and i was so confused😭💀
@@columbinadamselettefan lmao
You didn't mention that his weapon is not even better than other 5 stars agains 2 or more targets (and most content is not strictly single target).
So his weapon is not a win win like other hypercarry weapon (like neuvillettes, raiden's C2 or arlechino).
If a 5* signature weapon, is not his best weapon in dmg (or atleast the same as others) for every hypercarry team, then that is not even worth it.
Bet if the weapon banner feature xiangling, Bennet and Xinque as special lineup, then the weapon banner will make you Happy 😊
Went for him last time he was around, made me hate chest hunting and exploring less
~40 into pity and im at c5 faruzan....how hard do I want to stir the pot and fk my clorinde chances
question, i want to use my cyno, i feel however that he's significally hard to use in multiwave content because of the dendro application, i have nahida, yaoyao, dendro mc, tighnari and kahve, should i get baizu given that i have enough primos and i don really plan on getting anyone else in a while?
I would.
Cyno, furina, Baizhu teams is one of the only teams where cyno feels good to use no matter what.
And Nahida is a lot more versatile, having Baizhu allow you to try new strong nahida teams in the ond side of the abyss, while use cyno in the other.
Faruzan hates me and I wanna hate her back but I can't
Still on C1 after 100+ pulls when she was on banner... which does include one free one from an event 😭
Guess I'll continue to use my Wanderer overworld team without her...
Edit: Also, regardless of what Zajef says, Wanderer is my favourite unit of all, especially his playstyle. I run him without a shielder and Faruzan and it goes fine, even in abyss, and his attack sounds are just so statisfying to me. Also floating around as you see Guoba kill enemies like the Emperor screaming "Do it" to Anakin is just one of my favourite things ever.
Baizhu is there to poison the weapon banner (similar to Kokomi donut)
25:26 is this only for one hit?
And is it a base multiplier like the song of days past set?
Cuz its a 2k base multiplier at 40k hp. Which is good if it isnt a single hit
Yes, it lasts for 0.05 seconds after a hit. However, it happens every time the shield shoots out stars, so around 3-4 times per rotation. It’s not worthless, but not that impactful either.
@@georgezhang1573 it's like a solid song of days past effect built into her kit
And song of days past isn't as bad as people initially thought. It's actually decent considering I never knew she even had this con
@@MuhaamadAreeb It’s possible to accidentally waste the buff on a non carry. Even then, what’s to say your carry is always on field during the 3 second window in which her buff is active, which is also on a pseudo-sporadic trigger condition for the most part? And if you get everything to align, the buff is still mediocre at best.
Personally, I prefer playing Wanderer without a defensive utility character than character like Nueve. I can live with getting knocked around occasionally because he doesn't lose his full window.
Thanks for letting em know that xiao's the goat
"Beidou is not one of the premium four-stars for banners" Ok hear me out but as soon as she gets a skin guaranteed premium choice S++ get
I got to 73 pity on Arle Banner for her C1 and couldn’t get any more wishes Sadge, this banner makes me sad too
I’m happy idk what u talking about (I have baizhu and wriothesley so both 5⭐️ r good and I’m hoping for sac and fav!) 😊
I skipped since 3. Whatever (when Kaeya skin came out) so I’m glad I can still watch this without spoiling what happens in the story.
It only made me sad because I want Baizhu's donut but also want Chlorinde and Sigewinne qnq Burning Baizhu supremacy.
Offtopic but,
Clorinde's E duration was nerfed from 9s to 7.5s sadge. Her slash in E state numbers were increased slightly (from 46.2%*3 to 49.8%*3) in return, though I don't know how much that makes up for it. Regardless, an on fielder losing uptime is a big hit.
Edit: Did some preliminary calcs. The old rotation was Q E (stance change) E*2 (N3E)*6, and as far as I can tell the new rotation in 7.5s should be in theory Q E (stance change) E*2 (N3E)*4 and then maybe you get off a couple more normal attacks. If I use the updated numbers and assume the best case scenario with getting off another N3, we still have a 15.23% Damage loss during her E cycle.
Alhaitham it is
Sadge guess i'll get navia
26:03 i use her with him every time coppelia of coppelius is around ( the 250% effectiveness is nice)
Hes just so broken that giving him the 3rd stack is justification enough for me. Zhonli is better though, i just dont have him
He's my favourite character, so i wished. And im happy i will make him the best.
Cursed by the donut. First kokomi and now baizhu
I got Arlecchino spear in the last hour. Yes, I bought 10 + 10 bonus pulls, and it was after I lost 50/50 to the stupid Lyney bow that now sits with my three Amos bows, and yes I intend to pull for both Clorinde and Sigewinne, just like Mr. Zy0x said live laugh lament
Hard wide... SelfControl
Play Faruzan Kazuha Kokomi Fischl for extra aoe copium
i have him and faruzan c5 but i can’t pull cause i have guaranteed and saving for furina 😔 in another rerun i guess
I got like 4 cons of her from the Standard banner. Idk what the Gacha was smoking, considering I don't have a single Anemo damage character on my roster.
I already have c0 baizhu and wanderer, and a c4 faruzan, I am debating risking another wanderer to try and get c6 faruzan
ive gotten like 10 faruzan, and i have no idea what to do with her
Lynnete dps,
Why is Baizhu never mentioned for defensive utility for wanderer?
1. Mini shields block a hit up to 6 times
2. Aerial dodging avoids many other hits
3. Immediate synergy with furina
4. Prototype Amber helps battery for faruzan and furina without overloading furina for ER just to burst off CD
Forget Furina, Baizhu’s also a great choice if you run C6 Fischl in the last slot. Wanderer is one of her best drivers with his fast attack speed and Baizhu provides something for Oz to aggravate on.
Because Wanderer's elements pickup are an important part of his gameplay, and he can't pick up Baizhu's dendro reactions.
You can’t rely on his shields for interruption resistance. I’ve tried it. For Furina, I’d always prefer Mika, gives atk spd which is actually important on Wanderer who has no hitlag. Faruzan and Furina both often use favonius weapons and if Faruzan is C6 she doesn’t have as much er issues as pre-c6. I’d say he’s better off not being mentioned for Wanderer…
Prototype amber does nothing for battering faruzan, er only for char who using it, only healing to everyone
Because Wanderer’s best two teammates are c6 Faruzan and Bennett by a huge margin. Where are you finding the space to fit both a Baizhu and a Furina. And Baizhu without a Furina is terrible with Wanderer, especially since Bennett is already there.
Definitely a well rounded banner, everything except the five star weapons is fine but not amazing, I am just saving for clorinde because I have baizhu and xiao + xianyun and my faruzan and beidou are c6
I need Baizhu because I can fit him in a lot of my teams AND there's Faruzan too which I need her cons so badly. But Clorinde hhhhhh. Looks like I'll just have to wait for his Chronicle Banner 😔
zajef kept mentioning how wanderer is mostly only good for exploration, but that’s the thing, 90% of this game is wanderer. he’s so convenient, and, powerful enough to go even further. i pulled alhaitham before him but have found use in wanderer 5x more.
i pulled for furina's weapon back in the days and got the green donut but at least it's good on neuvillette
lost my 50/50 on baizhu (first one in quite a while tbf) to my first diluc... at least i have guarenteed clorinde right?
i genuinely feel bad for people that want wanderers weapon atp💀
