Well it's kinda fitting. Both Furina and Neuvilette rule(d) over Fontaine - one as an "Archon", the other as the Hydro Dragon Sovereign. What is Fontaine also known as? The nation of justice. What's Yanfei's profession? Being a lawyer. Of course things/characters related to the nation of justice would work for a lawyer! xD
Don't forget that Lanyan will be on the banners so if you're planning on pulling for Arlechhino or Clorinde then maybe hold off on your Lantern Rite selector to see if you pull Lanyan first :)
@@Aarkwrite i hope i get 1 chev. All my chevs were on kinich. Just 1 more to c6. Excited. Getting lanyan would just be a bonus. Getting Clorinde is the main goal though.
I love that your "don't recommend" list is literally the 4*s I got as a beginner in my early pulls. Though Yanfei was a gamechanger for me - I apply pyro and use EM Lisa to nuke enemies. Before using this my setup was very very weak without any real synergies that Genshin relies on so heavily.
To be fair, he's recommending for long term use. Any Catalyst user is great for early game, but most fall off hard as you get more experienced. Like virtually no one uses Barbara when they get to World Level ~7, but she's very good early game.
@Kmn483 I'm the 0.1% that brings Barbara to abyss 12 so I can tell you she's actually pretty useful in endgame lol I'm not sure why people think Barbara's bad when she's literally one of the best catalysts in the game. Especially now that we have Chasca, C2 Barbara gives 15% hydro damage bonus for the active character, making her straight up Chasca's 3rd BiS hydro (Furina/Mona/Barbara), and her buff lasts the whole time Chasca attacks unlike Mona's omen. She's also great at being the second hydro on the team to be your team healer for a Furina team if you don't run Neuvillette with her. She frees up the healer slot so you can run Kazuha instead of Jean as your anemo
@@Kmn483 i still use her. i love her because she helped me through early game so much. i also use her with my neuvillette. funnily enough, both are catalyst users
@@Kmn483 ar60 and C6 Yanfei is still my pyro dps (that might change now I have Mavuika) plus I use C6 barbara with certain bosses (very useful against the knave).
@@bjorn1583 Yea yea, and people clear abysses with Freminet or Eula. Doesn't make them good units. Just gotta invest much harder into bad units to let them clear. You could do the same with worse artifacts, less premium supports, and worse weps on better units. Like the solo Neuv abyss clears.
@@nemesis5289you’re going to get a bunch of liyue 4 stars from the chronicled wish banner, so you should pick what you don’t have/need after your pulls
@nemesis5289 because the 4 star characters are all available in the chronicled wish banner pool. Let's say you are aiming to get C4 Yanfei and C6 Gaming. After pulling on the chronicled wish, you get C6 Gaming. You can use the 4 star selector to choose C4 Yanfei. Imagine if you use the 4 star selector to get C6 Gaming. Then pull on the chronicled wish banner and get another Gaming, Wouldn't your choice on the 4 star selector be a waste? (Unless you don't mind getting more starglitter) So it's better to pull first, see who you get from the pulling session, then use the 4 star selector to complete your collection.
You should probably wait to use it until after ANY pulling session. The odds of getting a bunch of on the Arlecchino/Clorinde banner are low but not zero, and you don't want to pick somebody for your selector only to C7 them on your pulls after.
Xinyan was my first ever character. I played her to death using her as an overload shield for Lisa. I didn't know anything about the mechanics of the game at the time. But I loved her. I didn't care she was almost impossible to make good. All I cared about was "PYROTECHNICS!"
Only thing about ningguang is she's a double edged sword. She's not great if you focus on other characters and not what she's capable of doing but she's the ONLY geo catalyst user STILL in the entire game for whatever reason. And yes geo traveler is a valid option, most will swap for pyro since they do bigger damage. Where Ning shines besides being the only geo catalyst user is that she can use charged attacks without stamina cost when she has done 3 normal attacks. And her passive is nice since it's also a exclusive to her type thing where she's the ONLY one who can mark rock nodes on your minimap instead of liyue only resources, so her passive is good if your brand new to the game and don't quite know where ore are and don't want to spoil yourself by using a interactive map or something.
Wait for your wishing if you're not saving. She's on banner too! Like if you get her c2 already from it, then picking her isn't quite as good unless you want to onfield her at c6.
@@iishimanshu Most likely! Hydro is SUCH a useful element, and he's the only 4-star that brings it from off-field (and even holds a candle to a lot of 5-star off-fielders). Most accounts can make use of him, but it depends on what units you have. If your current or future on-fielders normal attack, they can probably use him at least somewhat well. I assume you're a fairly new player or don't have many units, so I'd say pick him up. You'll find a team for him at some point at least. Both the 5-stars on this new banner can use him, and you have a chance of getting lanyan from this banner as well. If you decide to on-field your lanyan, she can use him too. Most pyro and dendro on-fielders basically wants him, and a lot of electro and cryo on-fielders can use him in some teams.
She's also good for Neuvillette and Mavuika. My team setup rn is Mavuika, Ororon, Bennett and Beidou (I didn't level up my Chevreuse) She's dishing out 100k's per burst and 20k's per donut hit and is very fast to setup
@@TheTaxCollector232 I have a Neuvillette Electrocharge team, so yep. :P I don't have Mavuika though, I'm getting Arlecchino because I want them both but I'm nowhere close to having good artifacts from the Natlan Domain.
One aspect I’d love to hear more often in these type of videos is character bonuses! Raiden Shogun comes with 50% mora reduction when ascending swords/polearms. I was super bummed to pull Dori also, but then saw she has a 25% chance to refund crafting materials! So cool!
Raiden's refund is negligible, Dori's is legitimately a scam and just working as intended for lore purposes, just use Sucrose, she's mathematically superior.
Beidou is very underrated even here, you didn't even mentioned her resurgence with the introduction of Chevreuse overload teams. She's a good 2nd electro next to Fischl in AoE scenarios and for comfort pick (with her shield) specially for Arlecchino and Mavuika teams.
@ As of now, Ororon or Pyro traveler are your best choices as we have very limited Natlan roster for OL Mavuika. The last flex character can either be Fischl (ST), Beidou (AoE) or even Kuki for more comfy playstyle.
5 starglitter is 1 wish. 34 starglitter is one 4 star. So instead of guarentiing a featured 4 star in 20 pulls, you do it in about 6. So my suggestion is only go for characters not in shop. (Unless you want one of the other characters or don't save starglitter) Lanyan, Gaming, YaoYao, or Yunjin.
How much starglitter do you get per 10 pull assuming you don't pull a 5-star or a c6 4-star only 2 now that's 12 10 pulls meaning 120 pulls overall yes you could get more 4-stars per 10 pull but it doesn't change the fact that 34 starglitter is way more than just 6 pulls in your scenario you not only get 6 consecutively 4-stars but also all of them would have to have been already c6 more realistically 34 starglitter is equivalent to 60 pulls assuming you only pull already c6 4-stars.
@@Tomy_Lightning i'm talking about converting starglitter to wishes. It's 5 for 1 in Genshin. 8 for 1 in WuWa. Not saying you pull 34 starglitter in 6 pulls. You get 6 if you convert them. 6 pulls doesn't guarentee a 4 star. So it's either 6 pulls for a shop character, or 6 wishes for the banner. I always convert cause im impatient. But i might have to save to c6 fischl (only need 1)
@jex-the-notebook-guy1002 First of all, it's closer to 7 than 6, but even if it were 6, remember that that's 6 pity on the banner, not just 6 wishes out of the 10 guarantee. 6 pity means you have to do 6 less pulls to get your 5* character on the banner, which is easily more valuable just than a 4* character. I mean, yes, if you really want a character/con that's in the shop, save for them (esp the starter characters), but it's not mathematically better to always save to get a character from the shop instead of converting to wishes
You're forgetting that it takes 3 years to reach C6 on a guaranteed character - like Xiangling - because Paimon's Shop only offers each character twice per year. Or, 3-1/2 years to reach C6 on another character in Paimon's Shop - like Bennet, Xingqiu, Ninguang, or Beidou - because C0 is not guaranteed. The video does a far better job explaining this than you do....
Don't forget that Xingqiu, Xiangling, Beidou have rotation schedule in masterless glitter shop x34 each, along with Bennett, Noelle, Kaeya, Fischl, Lisa, Amber and Razor. Also they said Lan Yan will be added to the standard banner after 5.4 update. Also the system likely will changed after the FTC fine and ruling at least in 6 months. idk if it'll affect other non American regions or server.
Ill go for lanyan cuz i can use her with my clorinde and the new best f2p evebt weapon for clorinde from natlan which needs a shield and it gives crit rate and atk to the weilder.
I used to run Ningguang with the national team, and she slapped like a truck. Even now, she deals almost as much if not more damage than many of the 5 star hypercarry. Adding a geo helps immensely, particularly zhongli for def shred and shield, but without that as well, she is still a nuke.
One point to consider is that if you do have the powerful 4 star Liyue characters, you may want to choose/get a con for a character who you will use for Imaginarium Theater, i.e. shore up a weak element in your roster or to improve flexibility. The catalyst Liyue characters can still be built as supports (prototype amber / TTDS) or a DPS.
As a chongyun main honestly he’s really good if you build him well and give him a good claymore. His C1 makes him even better. I see why you put him on the non-recommended list but if you like him and don’t have dmg dealing cryo 5star then i would recommend building him
I’m also going for Yanfei fo get her to c4. I’m pulling Ale anyway so I’ll most likely get Lan Yan from there, but I will hold off on selecting until I do my pulls.
I'm picking my girl Lan Yan! Instantly fell in love with her upon seeing her, and was happy to know she'd be a 4-star with huge pull value. As someone who's been following the game for a long time but actually got started in the last days of 5.0 (real life issues), I'm not worried about Abyss right now (Natlan's release making Abyss extremely unfriendly if you don't have Natlan units gives me even less incentive). I don't have any of the characters available in the Chronicled Banner, so despite it being a bait, I'm taking it because I'd love getting some of them (aiming for Ganyu for my new Cryo DPS, but Shenhe and Childe would be cool; one for her rarity and the other cuz Hydro DPS). When I started, I got Xingqiu and Sucrose from an extremely lucky beginner banner pull, both of who have helped carry me. I have the Xiangling from the early Abyss rooms, I upgraded my Xingqiu to C3 when I pulled for Nahida (my favorite Archon and first limited 5-star), Yanfei came home by surprise when I was pulling for Zhongli, and I got Chongyun from a standard pull (but don't have him built). Something tells me I'm also getting cons for some of the 4-stars featured in Chronicled. So, since Lan Yan is only available in Father and Clorinde's banners (both are fun tho!) and I'm saving for Chronicled/Furina, then I'll resort to the free 4-star selector to get my girl.
15:38 I'd also put a mention to C2 Xinyan in this. C2 Xinyan turns her from basically unusable in single target to a decent off-field pyro applicator if you don't have C4 Xiangling, because her application is longer, as long as you build Xinyan as a shielder and not for damage. It allows her to get the level 3 shield which does off-field pyro every 2 seconds through her burst, instead of forcing it to be obtained when she hits 2 enemies with her skill. There are times when you want an off-field pyro applicator and shielder, and aren't a normal attacker so you don't want Thoma. Sounds like an oddly specific situation but it can come up more than you'd think. Just do be warned to never use Xinyan's Skill after her burst after C1, because then you overwrite her level 3 shield. I don't think she's a priority (I mean, I don't really think she's very good at all), but it's an surprisingly useful constellation to have sitting around.
I'm thinking between getting C6 Xingqiu becaues I've heard it's really good, or Lanyan because her kit seems interesting and I'm collecting every Anemo character. This video will definitely help!
Just get Lan Yan unless you are pulling her on the next banner and manage to C2+ her: don't get me wrong, C6 Xingqiu is amazing but - unlike Lan Yan - you will eventually get the final Xingqiu copy from the Paimon shop.
This chronicle banner will really help show hoyo how they have now reduced their character pull incentive quantity by a lot. Like if Genshin had 50 5* characters where as 40 of them felt like omg I want him/her. Now they may have 55-60 characters where as only 15 will feel like it. This is just me maybe? But, most of the old 5 stars aren't worth in the abyss, can still be fun in open world. But I guess, maybe they wanted this kind of "reset", not sure why though, but maybe their fanbase already has all chars so, this is the only way to force them to upgrade from their C6 chars
Great review Shark, super helpful! Wish they would do this for other holidays/regions, the Liyue banner can't take it anymore! Can't wait to C6 Gaming and pull Lan Yan on Clorinde's banner (again, highly recommend Clorinde too, she has been so much fun playing and has become my second main, hope more people give her a chance as she is far more versatile and amazing than people seem to realize). Good luck everyone and happy Lantern Rite!
Same lol I have everyone on this list c6 already. I’ll also be going for Lan Yan. And the only characters in this list that I built are Xiangling, Xingqui and Gaming.
@glenny8000 Well, your not getting the geo archon then, because Ninguang is NOT said geo archon. That would be Zhongli, formerly known as Rex Lapis via his God name.
Yeah definitely get the water sword guy if you don’t have a lot of water Pokémon’s. I don’t have any water characters at all except him, water traveler obviously and healer barbera. But if you missed furina, neuvillette, or muilani it’s hard to find a good water dps. Xialing and gamming both good fire dps too. I had no fire last year but amber but this year I got both of them, fire traveler, and fire archon and a random diluc pull so my fire Pokémon roster is a lot better this year
I’ve maimed Yanfei for a year before getting Hu Tao and Navia. Yanfei is a bit clunky when her on-field time is pushed too long, otherwise she’s very fun and versatile in quickswap teams. She’s a powerhouse at C6 and I still like to play her in abyss with Furina Kazuha and Bennett. Also her shield is really tanky even on an DPS build. Gaming is even better! I have him at C3 in a melt team with Rosaria and Citlali, and he absolutely shreds enemies like they’re flies I’m really torn between getting him or Lan Yan.
I did have an hesitation on which character I was going to choose : - A character I don't have (Lan Yan, Gaming, Yangfei or Yun Jin) for the collection - The constelation for one I play a lot and are part of the 5 characters that I have build (Beidou's C2 or Xiangling's C3) So if i don't get Lan Yan in the few pull I doing on Arlecchino's banner, I'm going to get her otherwise it's going to be Beidou's C2 Thank you for the advice !
Solid advice as always. Since I pull way too much in Genshin (and have the C6 of every Liyue 4* character except Gaming), it's down to C0 Lan Yan or C4 Gaming. Shark made that decision easy. :) Hadn't looked too hard Yan Lan since my cynicism for the Natlan characters over-shadowed my desire for new characters in version 5. Lan Yan actually looks pretty solid. I'm sure F2PKeqing is going to be using her as soon as she drops. :P
I chose Gaming last year during Lantern Rite. I adore him so much. I keep joking to my teen about wanting to adopt him into our family. He's just the sweetest! Not sure who I'll get this year. Kiddo keep telling me that I'm Level 30 now, I need to start to choose my go-to-team but I grew up playing JRPGs back in the day, and having all of these amazing chars to pick from to form MY perfect team is just so overwhelming, lol.
Hearing the praise for Xingqiu makes me happy since I was a little bummed I didn't pull a 5★ on my first Beginner's Wish, which I figured would allow for a great start to the game, but I did get him. I wasn't gonna take an extra character unlock beyond the guarantee for granted, though.
I made my mind like a month ago. I’m taking beidou only because she’s the only 4* electro I don’t have and I collect 4* And apart from Lanyan, beidou is the only liyue 4* I don’t have and I’m planning to pull for xiao,then maybe ganyu and perhaps alrecchino)
I am unfortunately gonna skip C6ing my Yanfei, C0 Lan Yan is more flexible as a support and I'm not pulling on the Arlecchino/Clorinde banner for Lan Yan C2, so Yanfei gotta take the hit for the time being... but I feel her pain. My Gaming is already C6 and full built so he can be the Pyro on-fielder. I already knew my pull priorities but this was a top notch analysis nonetheless, thank you Shark guy.
I already have C6 Xingqiu, C6 Yao Yao, and C6 Xiangling. And I've picked up a couple copies of Lan Yan in my failed attempts at getting Arlecchino C1, so I think I'm going to go for Gaming. I don't have a copy of him yet, and I think his playstyle is fun. Maybe I'll build him for Imaginarium Theater.
I'm drawn to Yao Yao, so I will first try my luck building up some of my pity to get Yan Lan. After Citlali I am back at 0 pity and 90 wishes to go for the next 5star gamble.
I play for fun and my c4(?) yaoyao is pretty nice, her skill can both heal and apply dendro for my current “spam random pyro, hydro and electro and watch words appear”
@CosmoXenia sounds just like my strategy ':D I think she was on one of the last banners and I was so sad because I had the pity at around 80 and could not wish as I was waiting for Citlali
I’m pulling Gaming cause I just got Citlali for him ^^ I’m only at C0 right now but there isn’t anyone else I want so I’m just gonna start the process of building those constellations
I don't have any Pyro DPS, so my plan is hoping for a couple Gaming copies while I pull for Baizhu and select Lan Yan for free, or select Gaming for free if I don't get him from pulls. I got Citlali and Bennett but no Xianyun, but I can just use Kazuha if I need. Still a great team, but I'm not gonna sweat not having the PERFECT team.
@@jiminjamless2465 I'm not a guru of Genshin at all, barely understand what's going on in it, so I just listened to the author of this video, and will take Xingqiu. It seems to me as reasonable choice with his abilities. I even can't build teams without guides, since I barely touched any of them haha! I just got Yae a year ago, reached Inazuma and dropped the game.
As a Yanfei main I don't recommend choosing her purely for good gameplay, she doesn't deal very good dmg but I do love her design and story which is why I got her C6, and because I actively use her simply because I like her character and she can get the job done I'm also using Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds with her to get at least somewhat decent dmg, also I'm personally choosing Lan Yan cause she's the only 4 star of the options I don't have
You can easily make beidou a hyperbloom trigger by simply building EM on her and using tactical on the cores. She launches all 5 and they hit like a truck
The problem is you can't use her off-field capability (burst) to trigger bloom cores. Using skill every 7s just to trigger hyperbloom is very counter-productive for an off-field support. Kuki, Fischl, and Lisa already exist and perfect for that niche so why even bother?
Hyperbloom has an internal cooldown, only 2 can damage an enemy within 0.5 seconds. triggering 5 at once literally does the same damage as triggering 2 at once. You want frequency.
This just verified what I was thinking and LanYan is gonna be my pick. I already have C6 Xingqiu, C4 YaoYao, C2 Xingling, C5 Beidou, C3 YunJin, C1 Ning, C3 Xinyan and the rest I dont play with.
im getting yun jin just because i like collecting 4 stars and shes the only one i dont have. i dont want her, but i want to finish my collection :v the new character ill get by rolling.
I figured that I would get Lan Yan, but now I’m realizing that my Gaming is at C5 and I’m tempted to go that direction. Yao Yao is adorable too but I have Nahida already. I just really like the cuteness 😊 I need to check what constellation Xingqiu and Xinglang are at. I don’t usually use them, but that might be because I don’t have the right constellations to make them feel good to play.
Might go for Lanyan as I often prefer characters I don't have but, I might grab Yanfei as I'm using her in my current team seeing as outside of our pyro knight Klee, we don't have any other pyro catalyst users
As someone playing in a no-wish account that don't even have Noele, this kind of event are my life-blood. I will be between Xingqiu c2 or the new anemo shielder. Chances are I'm getting the shielder I got Tighnary from the free 5-star last year and he is the only one 5-star I have besides traveler. I also have Collei c1 and Xingqiu c1 from lastt year lantern + event. The rest are event 4-stars I got along the years. Ironically my Xinyan was used as a shielder instead of DPS in the Ninguang team with Xingqiu and Xiangling before I got Layla in the event.
I will be picking whichever waifu I dont already have. C6 Yanfei is that much of a goat I used her as dps to take on the knave just for a laugh and the knave was a piece of cake to take down even with the knave's 70% res to pyro, her ability to get elemental reactions with off field damage dealers with every hit makes her very powerful. I have a C6 Xiangling and outside of her burst I find her average, Yanfei shites all over her when it comes to raw power and elemental reaction up times
if you're trying to decide whether to C6 a character in Lantern Rite, I would advise against it! Chances are you'll pull that character sooner or later and it'll be wasted. My advice would be to pull for a character you use, or would like to use, but have very few constellations of. For example, I'd like to C6 my Xiangliang or Xinqiu but I'm going to hold off because they'll likely be on a banner sometime soon. However I don't have Gaming, and I want to use my C3 Yanfei more, so I think I'll get one of them.
I’ll be getting Yaoyao because 1 I wanna put her on a team with qiqi (for the wholesomeness) 2 she’s good for Hyperbloom which I have a team meant for 3 YAOYAO KEPT ON EVADING ME WHEN I WAS PULLING FOR HER I GOT THE FIVE STAR BEFORE I GOT YAOYAO (I’m not complaining neuvillette is good and fishcl is also good)
I'd say don't get Xinqiu if you already have or plan on getting Yelan and Furina. Sure, this might be a niche tip since these are both premium 5-star sub-dps characters, but they are also popular characters to get and invest in.
This will be my first lantern right. OK, so here's the situation I have. To start with I'm new, as in only played the game for 3 months, new. Secondly, I'm playing a Mavuika vape team consisting of her, fire traveller and a C2 Barbara, with Noelle as an "oh crap, shields" panic button kind of scenario. I have a Xianling and I also have the bookworm as well as YaoYao who I have 2 or 3 constellations for. I also have a Fischl who honestly I'm considering building just to replace the maid in a more attack focused team, because her electric will go well with 2 fire and 1 water. Xinqui's messing with the fire archon's potential is a no go, for me, so my question is this. Out of the characters discussed in this video, who would be the best potential fit for a vape team or just the best character of that list who I haven't mentioned for just general use? [I know I won't be able to rely on just 1 kind of team...]
Mavuika doesn't need Xingqiu as she's optimal to do mostly charge attack but Barbara can't give enough hydro aura for vape because of her small ring AoE. Furina will most likely to rerun next version, she'll be the best hydro partner for Mavuika. Also, since you prefer a more comfort playstyle and wanna replace Noelle then Lan Yan is a good character to pick.
@@Arrmorant but we can get lan yan from banners easily, she is not a limited time character, should this guy pick xinqiu as she is more versatile overall
@@infernoscorpion5945 Bro make up your mind, you already said that Xingqiu is a no-go from you. He's also not great for Mavuika teams as I mentioned before. If you really want his constellation then you're free to choose him, nobody is stopping you. Okay, if you're gonna pull (which you didn't mentioned beforehand) then sure choose other. Lan Yan is also versatile, as she can be used as a shielder, debuffer (VV artifact), and buffer (thrilling tales). She's a budget hybrid of Zhongli + Kazuha.
Xingqiu messing with her potential what? He enables her to vape actually lol Also, to the one who replied, Mavuika's best combo is C2Dash, not just spamming CA, so while Xingqiu's personal damage does go down teh drain bc he only ticks every 2-3s, he works with her fine. He also is better as a shielder than Noelle bc he straight up reduces damage taken so you're always taking only like 60% damage instead of 100%, and his healing is also good enough for overworld content at least Xingqiu is the best option if you want a vape team. but as for other good options -Lanyan is way better than Noelle as a shielder + she can hold TTDS -Yaoyao - you already have her though iirc so ignore if you do -Beidou - she's not really meta esp now that Ororon took over most of her role even in soup teams, but she's great as a general purpose unit if you don't have him -Xiangling - yes she's free but her C4 is what puts her ahead of every other pyro in the game The rest of the options are rather mid for you, since Gaming, who is the other "good" character here, is definitely not beating Mavuika and taking her spot lol
@@justapasserbyrandomperson9325 Yea, about that. Found out some updated info on that whole thing after the OC. I'm less concerned about bookworm not being a good fit now, but there's no reason to edit said OC to reflect that.
I have xianglin C3 and no xingque, I need xiangling for my Mualani team but I’m unsure if I should choose xingque or xiangling. I also have both furina and yelan but no mavuika
Well, I am going for C1 for Yaoyao as I like her and play her a lot 😊 Other characters I have C0 or C6 or not close to important constellations, so I just go with Liyue bunny girl
I have Nahida (and my Yaoyao is C5, bc I got both Zhongli and Neuvillette), my Xingqiu is C3, my Xiangling is C1 and my Beidou is C0 (she was my first DPS, actually). The thing is, I don't have a pyro DPS right now, so I thought about getting Gaming, as his playstyle is pretty fun. Oh, and I won't pull for Arlecchino bc I'm saving for Wriothesley (just bc I love the character, and Idk when he'll come back).
Definitely rushing c6 Lan Yan to on-field her in Electrocharge team. Gonna be getting 3 5-stars on her banner anyways, so if I don't get c6 before then, she's my Lantern pick.
Can you make a lanyan guide when she releases? If i want to make her a defense character, or a main dps or something, i mainly want her as a shielder for my neuvillette,
Gonna pick Yun Jin, I’m going to see if this video change my opinion Yeah, still getting Yun Jin, I’ve already got C6 Xingqiu and Yao Yao, I’m going to pull for Arlechinno so I’m going to get Lanyan, so yeah I’m going to go for C6 Yunjin
I need advice I have a c4 gaming and aspire to get c6 one day but he never goes on banner. I love my boy but I don’t know if I should get him or lan yan
I'm either getting my Yanfei's c4 because my double anemo team needs a shield, or Lanyan because I'm skipping Arlecchino and Chlorinde to pull on Chronicle and I really like collecting anemo characters
I find it funny that everything made for neuvilette also works amazingly for Yanfei, his weapon, artifact set and furina
However, you'll need double hydro with furina. She can't apply enough hydro for Yanfei.
I like your implication that Furina was made specifically for Neuvilette. Sometimes it does feel that way.
@DKSprocket delu
furina is support and yes its fit with nevu too good but Furina is also good without nevu
Well it's kinda fitting. Both Furina and Neuvilette rule(d) over Fontaine - one as an "Archon", the other as the Hydro Dragon Sovereign.
What is Fontaine also known as? The nation of justice.
What's Yanfei's profession? Being a lawyer.
Of course things/characters related to the nation of justice would work for a lawyer! xD
@@DKSprockette They have that stoic father and bratty daughter relationship going
Don't forget that Lanyan will be on the banners so if you're planning on pulling for Arlechhino or Clorinde then maybe hold off on your Lantern Rite selector to see if you pull Lanyan first :)
That's what I'm doing.

@@Aarkwritesame!! wish you luck :D
I love that your "don't recommend" list is literally the 4*s I got as a beginner in my early pulls.
Though Yanfei was a gamechanger for me - I apply pyro and use EM Lisa to nuke enemies. Before using this my setup was very very weak without any real synergies that Genshin relies on so heavily.
To be fair, he's recommending for long term use.
Any Catalyst user is great for early game, but most fall off hard as you get more experienced.
Like virtually no one uses Barbara when they get to World Level ~7, but she's very good early game.
@Kmn483 I'm the 0.1% that brings Barbara to abyss 12 so I can tell you she's actually pretty useful in endgame lol
I'm not sure why people think Barbara's bad when she's literally one of the best catalysts in the game.
Especially now that we have Chasca, C2 Barbara gives 15% hydro damage bonus for the active character, making her straight up Chasca's 3rd BiS hydro (Furina/Mona/Barbara), and her buff lasts the whole time Chasca attacks unlike Mona's omen.
She's also great at being the second hydro on the team to be your team healer for a Furina team if you don't run Neuvillette with her. She frees up the healer slot so you can run Kazuha instead of Jean as your anemo
@@Kmn483 i still use her. i love her because she helped me through early game so much. i also use her with my neuvillette. funnily enough, both are catalyst users
@@Kmn483 ar60 and C6 Yanfei is still my pyro dps (that might change now I have Mavuika) plus I use C6 barbara with certain bosses (very useful against the knave).
@@bjorn1583 Yea yea, and people clear abysses with Freminet or Eula. Doesn't make them good units. Just gotta invest much harder into bad units to let them clear. You could do the same with worse artifacts, less premium supports, and worse weps on better units. Like the solo Neuv abyss clears.
If you're planning to pull on chronicled wish banner, remember to use the 4 star selector AFTER your pulling session.
Why is that?
@@nemesis5289you’re going to get a bunch of liyue 4 stars from the chronicled wish banner, so you should pick what you don’t have/need after your pulls
@@thenameproblemhasbeenfixed7041 okay, thanks
@nemesis5289 because the 4 star characters are all available in the chronicled wish banner pool. Let's say you are aiming to get C4 Yanfei and C6 Gaming. After pulling on the chronicled wish, you get C6 Gaming. You can use the 4 star selector to choose C4 Yanfei.
Imagine if you use the 4 star selector to get C6 Gaming.
Then pull on the chronicled wish banner and get another Gaming, Wouldn't your choice on the 4 star selector be a waste? (Unless you don't mind getting more starglitter)
So it's better to pull first, see who you get from the pulling session, then use the 4 star selector to complete your collection.
You should probably wait to use it until after ANY pulling session. The odds of getting a bunch of on the Arlecchino/Clorinde banner are low but not zero, and you don't want to pick somebody for your selector only to C7 them on your pulls after.
Xinyan was my first ever character. I played her to death using her as an overload shield for Lisa. I didn't know anything about the mechanics of the game at the time. But I loved her. I didn't care she was almost impossible to make good. All I cared about was "PYROTECHNICS!"
me too, she is accompany me when im in the low ar, but when i found out she is not good i stopped build her on 40 levels :)
I wish she *was* good because I also loved her as a new player ❤️❤️ she’s still one of my favorite characters
@@oodlesofdoodles3302 that would be nice, really. back then i thought that the damage was quite good enough 💔
I just got her using acquaint fates to roll
she's my favourite design in genshin, wish her kit was better
Only thing about ningguang is she's a double edged sword. She's not great if you focus on other characters and not what she's capable of doing but she's the ONLY geo catalyst user STILL in the entire game for whatever reason. And yes geo traveler is a valid option, most will swap for pyro since they do bigger damage. Where Ning shines besides being the only geo catalyst user is that she can use charged attacks without stamina cost when she has done 3 normal attacks. And her passive is nice since it's also a exclusive to her type thing where she's the ONLY one who can mark rock nodes on your minimap instead of liyue only resources, so her passive is good if your brand new to the game and don't quite know where ore are and don't want to spoil yourself by using a interactive map or something.
Video confirmed my decision. I have C6 Xingqiu, I don't have Lanyan, so Lanyan it is.
Same
Wait for your wishing if you're not saving. She's on banner too!
Like if you get her c2 already from it, then picking her isn't quite as good unless you want to onfield her at c6.
but if i dont have xingqiue, i should go for him right?
@@iishimanshu Most likely! Hydro is SUCH a useful element, and he's the only 4-star that brings it from off-field (and even holds a candle to a lot of 5-star off-fielders). Most accounts can make use of him, but it depends on what units you have.
If your current or future on-fielders normal attack, they can probably use him at least somewhat well.
I assume you're a fairly new player or don't have many units, so I'd say pick him up. You'll find a team for him at some point at least. Both the 5-stars on this new banner can use him, and you have a chance of getting lanyan from this banner as well. If you decide to on-field your lanyan, she can use him too. Most pyro and dendro on-fielders basically wants him, and a lot of electro and cryo on-fielders can use him in some teams.
@@Kmn483 thanka bro, that's really helpful
Beidou is actually really good in Electro charge, with Ororon being a good teammate for her as well.
She's also good for Neuvillette and Mavuika.
My team setup rn is Mavuika, Ororon, Bennett and Beidou (I didn't level up my Chevreuse)
She's dishing out 100k's per burst and 20k's per donut hit and is very fast to setup
@@TheTaxCollector232 I have a Neuvillette Electrocharge team, so yep. :P I don't have Mavuika though, I'm getting Arlecchino because I want them both but I'm nowhere close to having good artifacts from the Natlan Domain.
12:06 "So if you don't have LanYan"
I don't think anyone has LanYan right now
He means if you haven't pulled her on the banner once it drops (which it has and I ended up with her c6)
i got Lan Yan today
I have her c3 lmao I want clori already
Remember 5.3 2nd phase banner will be featuring lan yan with father
Don't forget mother too bro 😢 idk why she is so underrated
Oh yeah, C6 Gaming for me ❤
Lan Yan can wait, I'm all about Shenhe this patch and Gaming has been one of my latest Spiral Abyss DPS characters
Yeahhh im pulling for gaming too
Yaaay... other gaming players
One aspect I’d love to hear more often in these type of videos is character bonuses!
Raiden Shogun comes with 50% mora reduction when ascending swords/polearms. I was super bummed to pull Dori also, but then saw she has a 25% chance to refund crafting materials! So cool!
Raiden's refund is negligible, Dori's is legitimately a scam and just working as intended for lore purposes, just use Sucrose, she's mathematically superior.
Mathematically 25% refund is slightly better than 10% bonus
@@Exacerberus What is Sucrose’s bonus? I don’t have a copy of her yet 😭
Update: internet says 10% chance of extra 3 mats. Very nice!
@@doublehh1674 If I understand correctly, Sucrose should have the superior crafting passive, mathematically speaking.
@@doublehh1674 25% refund of one material, so it's more like 8%
Beidou is very underrated even here, you didn't even mentioned her resurgence with the introduction of Chevreuse overload teams. She's a good 2nd electro next to Fischl in AoE scenarios and for comfort pick (with her shield) specially for Arlecchino and Mavuika teams.
is C0 beidou good ? for arlch overload im considering to get her for this team especially or is ororon good enough ?
@@droidgameplays4123 really depends, but at C0 I'm gonna lean towards ororon if there's no cinder city holder on your team.
@Arrmorant ok then thank you
I rllyyyyy want Chevreuse and I have Mavuika - any idea if them in a team would have good synergy?? (Btw Im fairly new and I suck st teams hehe)
@ As of now, Ororon or Pyro traveler are your best choices as we have very limited Natlan roster for OL Mavuika. The last flex character can either be Fischl (ST), Beidou (AoE) or even Kuki for more comfy playstyle.
5 starglitter is 1 wish. 34 starglitter is one 4 star. So instead of guarentiing a featured 4 star in 20 pulls, you do it in about 6. So my suggestion is only go for characters not in shop. (Unless you want one of the other characters or don't save starglitter) Lanyan, Gaming, YaoYao, or Yunjin.
How much starglitter do you get per 10 pull assuming you don't pull a 5-star or a c6 4-star only 2 now that's 12 10 pulls meaning 120 pulls overall yes you could get more 4-stars per 10 pull but it doesn't change the fact that 34 starglitter is way more than just 6 pulls in your scenario you not only get 6 consecutively 4-stars but also all of them would have to have been already c6 more realistically 34 starglitter is equivalent to 60 pulls assuming you only pull already c6 4-stars.
@@Tomy_Lightning i'm talking about converting starglitter to wishes. It's 5 for 1 in Genshin. 8 for 1 in WuWa. Not saying you pull 34 starglitter in 6 pulls. You get 6 if you convert them. 6 pulls doesn't guarentee a 4 star. So it's either 6 pulls for a shop character, or 6 wishes for the banner. I always convert cause im impatient. But i might have to save to c6 fischl (only need 1)
@jex-the-notebook-guy1002
First of all, it's closer to 7 than 6, but even if it were 6, remember that that's 6 pity on the banner, not just 6 wishes out of the 10 guarantee.
6 pity means you have to do 6 less pulls to get your 5* character on the banner, which is easily more valuable just than a 4* character.
I mean, yes, if you really want a character/con that's in the shop, save for them (esp the starter characters), but it's not mathematically better to always save to get a character from the shop instead of converting to wishes
@@justapasserbyrandomperson9325 i rounded down. Ofc im not including 5 star pity. Just saying it's tempting rn. I always spent them on wishes.
You're forgetting that it takes 3 years to reach C6 on a guaranteed character - like Xiangling - because Paimon's Shop only offers each character twice per year.
Or, 3-1/2 years to reach C6 on another character in Paimon's Shop - like Bennet, Xingqiu, Ninguang, or Beidou - because C0 is not guaranteed.
The video does a far better job explaining this than you do....
Don't forget that Xingqiu, Xiangling, Beidou have rotation schedule in masterless glitter shop x34 each, along with Bennett, Noelle, Kaeya, Fischl, Lisa, Amber and Razor. Also they said Lan Yan will be added to the standard banner after 5.4 update.
Also the system likely will changed after the FTC fine and ruling at least in 6 months. idk if it'll affect other non American regions or server.
Nah id gamble
I mean i never used the masterless glitter for cons and weapons lol, when i hit 5 I instantly change it to fates 😭
I’ll definitely go for my elegant lady “Yun Jin.”
Ill go for lanyan cuz i can use her with my clorinde and the new best f2p evebt weapon for clorinde from natlan which needs a shield and it gives crit rate and atk to the weilder.
Literally what I'm thinking
You will get her through wishing eventually
@@MaybeYou2do Unless they aren't pulling constellations on the next banner for their already acquired Clorinde.
Thanks a lot Shark! I liked the video even before watching it. Thanks a lot for being comprehensive and precise.
My pleasure!
I used to run Ningguang with the national team, and she slapped like a truck. Even now, she deals almost as much if not more damage than many of the 5 star hypercarry. Adding a geo helps immensely, particularly zhongli for def shred and shield, but without that as well, she is still a nuke.
One point to consider is that if you do have the powerful 4 star Liyue characters, you may want to choose/get a con for a character who you will use for Imaginarium Theater, i.e. shore up a weak element in your roster or to improve flexibility. The catalyst Liyue characters can still be built as supports (prototype amber / TTDS) or a DPS.
As a chongyun main honestly he’s really good if you build him well and give him a good claymore. His C1 makes him even better. I see why you put him on the non-recommended list but if you like him and don’t have dmg dealing cryo 5star then i would recommend building him
I'm getting Yanfei, to get her to C1, on my way to C4 eventually. Already have Yaoyao, Gaming and C6 Xingqiu.
as someone that has C6 Yanfei I say good choice
I’m also going for Yanfei fo get her to c4. I’m pulling Ale anyway so I’ll most likely get Lan Yan from there, but I will hold off on selecting until I do my pulls.
I'm picking my girl Lan Yan! Instantly fell in love with her upon seeing her, and was happy to know she'd be a 4-star with huge pull value.
As someone who's been following the game for a long time but actually got started in the last days of 5.0 (real life issues), I'm not worried about Abyss right now (Natlan's release making Abyss extremely unfriendly if you don't have Natlan units gives me even less incentive). I don't have any of the characters available in the Chronicled Banner, so despite it being a bait, I'm taking it because I'd love getting some of them (aiming for Ganyu for my new Cryo DPS, but Shenhe and Childe would be cool; one for her rarity and the other cuz Hydro DPS).
When I started, I got Xingqiu and Sucrose from an extremely lucky beginner banner pull, both of who have helped carry me. I have the Xiangling from the early Abyss rooms, I upgraded my Xingqiu to C3 when I pulled for Nahida (my favorite Archon and first limited 5-star), Yanfei came home by surprise when I was pulling for Zhongli, and I got Chongyun from a standard pull (but don't have him built). Something tells me I'm also getting cons for some of the 4-stars featured in Chronicled.
So, since Lan Yan is only available in Father and Clorinde's banners (both are fun tho!) and I'm saving for Chronicled/Furina, then I'll resort to the free 4-star selector to get my girl.
15:38 I'd also put a mention to C2 Xinyan in this.
C2 Xinyan turns her from basically unusable in single target to a decent off-field pyro applicator if you don't have C4 Xiangling, because her application is longer, as long as you build Xinyan as a shielder and not for damage. It allows her to get the level 3 shield which does off-field pyro every 2 seconds through her burst, instead of forcing it to be obtained when she hits 2 enemies with her skill.
There are times when you want an off-field pyro applicator and shielder, and aren't a normal attacker so you don't want Thoma. Sounds like an oddly specific situation but it can come up more than you'd think.
Just do be warned to never use Xinyan's Skill after her burst after C1, because then you overwrite her level 3 shield.
I don't think she's a priority (I mean, I don't really think she's very good at all), but it's an surprisingly useful constellation to have sitting around.
*Clap* for that rapid fire name pronouncing.
I'm thinking between getting C6 Xingqiu becaues I've heard it's really good, or Lanyan because her kit seems interesting and I'm collecting every Anemo character. This video will definitely help!
good choice
This is the exact conundrum I am in. However, I think it is better to go with Lanyan because Xingqiu will be on the shop through march.
Yeh me too goin for xinqqiu c6 but i kindda curious about that new anemo chick
Just get Lan Yan unless you are pulling her on the next banner and manage to C2+ her: don't get me wrong, C6 Xingqiu is amazing but - unlike Lan Yan - you will eventually get the final Xingqiu copy from the Paimon shop.
Xinqqiu is pretty easy to get on standard. And he gets reruns very often. Lan Yan is new
This chronicle banner will really help show hoyo how they have now reduced their character pull incentive quantity by a lot.
Like if Genshin had 50 5* characters where as 40 of them felt like omg I want him/her. Now they may have 55-60 characters where as only 15 will feel like it. This is just me maybe? But, most of the old 5 stars aren't worth in the abyss, can still be fun in open world. But I guess, maybe they wanted this kind of "reset", not sure why though, but maybe their fanbase already has all chars so, this is the only way to force them to upgrade from their C6 chars
Great review Shark, super helpful! Wish they would do this for other holidays/regions, the Liyue banner can't take it anymore!
Can't wait to C6 Gaming and pull Lan Yan on Clorinde's banner (again, highly recommend Clorinde too, she has been so much fun playing and has become my second main, hope more people give her a chance as she is far more versatile and amazing than people seem to realize). Good luck everyone and happy Lantern Rite!
This will be a very easy choice for me. I've already have C6 on everyone except Lan Yan.
Same lol I have everyone on this list c6 already. I’ll also be going for Lan Yan. And the only characters in this list that I built are Xiangling, Xingqui and Gaming.
@@Khvngbvng216 Those are easily the 3 most useful.
The fact that i have c3 gaming, citlali, xianyun, bennett, and furina must really be a sign
i am getting ninguang the geo archon idc
You will not be sorry.
@glenny8000 Well, your not getting the geo archon then, because Ninguang is NOT said geo archon. That would be Zhongli, formerly known as Rex Lapis via his God name.
@@Requiemsloveits a joke about when she summoned the geo Gatling guns
@@Requiemslove r/whoosh... why so serious lil bro?
Same, one step closer to that broken C6 🫶🏻
Yeah definitely get the water sword guy if you don’t have a lot of water Pokémon’s. I don’t have any water characters at all except him, water traveler obviously and healer barbera. But if you missed furina, neuvillette, or muilani it’s hard to find a good water dps.
Xialing and gamming both good fire dps too. I had no fire last year but amber but this year I got both of them, fire traveler, and fire archon and a random diluc pull so my fire Pokémon roster is a lot better this year
I’ve maimed Yanfei for a year before getting Hu Tao and Navia. Yanfei is a bit clunky when her on-field time is pushed too long, otherwise she’s very fun and versatile in quickswap teams. She’s a powerhouse at C6 and I still like to play her in abyss with Furina Kazuha and Bennett. Also her shield is really tanky even on an DPS build.
Gaming is even better! I have him at C3 in a melt team with Rosaria and Citlali, and he absolutely shreds enemies like they’re flies
I’m really torn between getting him or Lan Yan.
I did have an hesitation on which character I was going to choose :
- A character I don't have (Lan Yan, Gaming, Yangfei or Yun Jin) for the collection
- The constelation for one I play a lot and are part of the 5 characters that I have build (Beidou's C2 or Xiangling's C3)
So if i don't get Lan Yan in the few pull I doing on Arlecchino's banner, I'm going to get her otherwise it's going to be Beidou's C2
Thank you for the advice !
Thank you so much this video really helped. I was struggling to choose between a con for ningguang or the new 4 star 😭
Solid advice as always. Since I pull way too much in Genshin (and have the C6 of every Liyue 4* character except Gaming), it's down to C0 Lan Yan or C4 Gaming. Shark made that decision easy. :)
Hadn't looked too hard Yan Lan since my cynicism for the Natlan characters over-shadowed my desire for new characters in version 5. Lan Yan actually looks pretty solid. I'm sure F2PKeqing is going to be using her as soon as she drops. :P
Thanks a lot for this breakdown and your recommendations!
This video is of insanely high content quality. Well done.
i have xingqiu and lan yan, so yaoyao it is !!! ive been needing a dendro character and this video really helped me figure out who i should get
I'm getting lan Yan because she has same VA as jinhsi
I chose Gaming last year during Lantern Rite. I adore him so much. I keep joking to my teen about wanting to adopt him into our family. He's just the sweetest! Not sure who I'll get this year. Kiddo keep telling me that I'm Level 30 now, I need to start to choose my go-to-team but I grew up playing JRPGs back in the day, and having all of these amazing chars to pick from to form MY perfect team is just so overwhelming, lol.
Hearing the praise for Xingqiu makes me happy since I was a little bummed I didn't pull a 5★ on my first Beginner's Wish, which I figured would allow for a great start to the game, but I did get him. I wasn't gonna take an extra character unlock beyond the guarantee for granted, though.
I made my mind like a month ago. I’m taking beidou only because she’s the only 4* electro I don’t have and I collect 4*
And apart from Lanyan, beidou is the only liyue 4* I don’t have and I’m planning to pull for xiao,then maybe ganyu and perhaps alrecchino)
Thanks shark you really did help me make up my mind on this one I think it'll lanfe thanks for the video bro.
I am unfortunately gonna skip C6ing my Yanfei, C0 Lan Yan is more flexible as a support and I'm not pulling on the Arlecchino/Clorinde banner for Lan Yan C2, so Yanfei gotta take the hit for the time being... but I feel her pain.
My Gaming is already C6 and full built so he can be the Pyro on-fielder.
I already knew my pull priorities but this was a top notch analysis nonetheless, thank you Shark guy.
I'll be getting Lan Yan because she is beautiful
Very clear and succinct. Thank you
I already have C6 Xingqiu, C6 Yao Yao, and C6 Xiangling. And I've picked up a couple copies of Lan Yan in my failed attempts at getting Arlecchino C1, so I think I'm going to go for Gaming. I don't have a copy of him yet, and I think his playstyle is fun. Maybe I'll build him for Imaginarium Theater.
I'm drawn to Yao Yao, so I will first try my luck building up some of my pity to get Yan Lan. After Citlali I am back at 0 pity and 90 wishes to go for the next 5star gamble.
I play for fun and my c4(?) yaoyao is pretty nice, her skill can both heal and apply dendro for my current “spam random pyro, hydro and electro and watch words appear”
@CosmoXenia sounds just like my strategy ':D
I think she was on one of the last banners and I was so sad because I had the pity at around 80 and could not wish as I was waiting for Citlali
6:09 do u know what else is massive
GET OUT!💯💯🗣️🗣️
what a monster video, awesome work!
Thank you so much for the vid!! Amaziiing!
I’m pulling Gaming cause I just got Citlali for him ^^ I’m only at C0 right now but there isn’t anyone else I want so I’m just gonna start the process of building those constellations
I don't have any Pyro DPS, so my plan is hoping for a couple Gaming copies while I pull for Baizhu and select Lan Yan for free, or select Gaming for free if I don't get him from pulls. I got Citlali and Bennett but no Xianyun, but I can just use Kazuha if I need. Still a great team, but I'm not gonna sweat not having the PERFECT team.
Thank you for making this!
Thanks for this video! I started my no wish account until I get Yae Miko banner, so I need some free chars, and I didn't know who I might need to pick
Who will u pick ? I'm also saving for yae Miko
@@jiminjamless2465 I'm not a guru of Genshin at all, barely understand what's going on in it, so I just listened to the author of this video, and will take Xingqiu. It seems to me as reasonable choice with his abilities. I even can't build teams without guides, since I barely touched any of them haha! I just got Yae a year ago, reached Inazuma and dropped the game.
@ I changed my mind and took Yaoyao, and I do not regret it!
As a Yanfei main I don't recommend choosing her purely for good gameplay, she doesn't deal very good dmg but I do love her design and story which is why I got her C6, and because I actively use her simply because I like her character and she can get the job done I'm also using Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds with her to get at least somewhat decent dmg, also I'm personally choosing Lan Yan cause she's the only 4 star of the options I don't have
You can easily make beidou a hyperbloom trigger by simply building EM on her and using tactical on the cores. She launches all 5 and they hit like a truck
The problem is you can't use her off-field capability (burst) to trigger bloom cores. Using skill every 7s just to trigger hyperbloom is very counter-productive for an off-field support. Kuki, Fischl, and Lisa already exist and perfect for that niche so why even bother?
Honestly, you can just use her as second electro in a hyperbloom team. She give defensive utility and helpt the team in AoE.
Hyperbloom has an internal cooldown, only 2 can damage an enemy within 0.5 seconds. triggering 5 at once literally does the same damage as triggering 2 at once. You want frequency.
Thank you for this amazing guide 🤩
Ninguang is good for exploration as she show materials. Yanfei is good, google tankfei. She also shows the materials of liyue materials.
You should also mention how many gift sets characters are in, as each time they are in one they can give 20 primos + 20k mora and more
Man that was a mouthfull at the start
This just verified what I was thinking and LanYan is gonna be my pick. I already have C6 Xingqiu, C4 YaoYao, C2 Xingling, C5 Beidou, C3 YunJin, C1 Ning, C3 Xinyan and the rest I dont play with.
I grabbed Lan Yan because I'm not planning on pulling for Arlecchino or Chlorinde at the moment because of the lack of pulls.
My first year I grabbed Xingqiu. Ever since I've always grabbed the newest added character. Lanyan will be grabbed for me
i think lanyan is really worth getting especially since she doesnt startle crystalflies if shes in the party. which is HUGE
@sharkh3rt why didn't mention that Lan Yan hasn't been released yet, I was weirded out that she wasn't in the character archive yet...
im getting yun jin just because i like collecting 4 stars and shes the only one i dont have. i dont want her, but i want to finish my collection :v
the new character ill get by rolling.
Just a suggestion...roll first before choosing. I am sure you know why.
I figured that I would get Lan Yan, but now I’m realizing that my Gaming is at C5 and I’m tempted to go that direction.
Yao Yao is adorable too but I have Nahida already. I just really like the cuteness 😊
I need to check what constellation Xingqiu and Xinglang are at.
I don’t usually use them, but that might be because I don’t have the right constellations to make them feel good to play.
Might go for Lanyan as I often prefer characters I don't have but, I might grab Yanfei as I'm using her in my current team seeing as outside of our pyro knight Klee, we don't have any other pyro catalyst users
If I get LanYan on my banner pulls I’m going for c4 Gaming
As someone playing in a no-wish account that don't even have Noele, this kind of event are my life-blood. I will be between Xingqiu c2 or the new anemo shielder. Chances are I'm getting the shielder
I got Tighnary from the free 5-star last year and he is the only one 5-star I have besides traveler. I also have Collei c1 and Xingqiu c1 from lastt year lantern + event. The rest are event 4-stars I got along the years.
Ironically my Xinyan was used as a shielder instead of DPS in the Ninguang team with Xingqiu and Xiangling before I got Layla in the event.
I will be picking whichever waifu I dont already have.
C6 Yanfei is that much of a goat I used her as dps to take on the knave just for a laugh and the knave was a piece of cake to take down even with the knave's 70% res to pyro, her ability to get elemental reactions with off field damage dealers with every hit makes her very powerful.
I have a C6 Xiangling and outside of her burst I find her average, Yanfei shites all over her when it comes to raw power and elemental reaction up times
I have been stuck at Xiangling c3 so this time ill chose her so i can finally get her best constellation.
if you're trying to decide whether to C6 a character in Lantern Rite, I would advise against it! Chances are you'll pull that character sooner or later and it'll be wasted. My advice would be to pull for a character you use, or would like to use, but have very few constellations of. For example, I'd like to C6 my Xiangliang or Xinqiu but I'm going to hold off because they'll likely be on a banner sometime soon. However I don't have Gaming, and I want to use my C3 Yanfei more, so I think I'll get one of them.
I’ll be getting Yaoyao because 1 I wanna put her on a team with qiqi (for the wholesomeness) 2 she’s good for Hyperbloom which I have a team meant for 3 YAOYAO KEPT ON EVADING ME WHEN I WAS PULLING FOR HER I GOT THE FIVE STAR BEFORE I GOT YAOYAO (I’m not complaining neuvillette is good and fishcl is also good)
I'd say don't get Xinqiu if you already have or plan on getting Yelan and Furina. Sure, this might be a niche tip since these are both premium 5-star sub-dps characters, but they are also popular characters to get and invest in.
when will the lantern rite event start
Here's advice: pick anyone you want its your will find your favorite
This will be my first lantern right. OK, so here's the situation I have. To start with I'm new, as in only played the game for 3 months, new. Secondly, I'm playing a Mavuika vape team consisting of her, fire traveller and a C2 Barbara, with Noelle as an "oh crap, shields" panic button kind of scenario. I have a Xianling and I also have the bookworm as well as YaoYao who I have 2 or 3 constellations for. I also have a Fischl who honestly I'm considering building just to replace the maid in a more attack focused team, because her electric will go well with 2 fire and 1 water. Xinqui's messing with the fire archon's potential is a no go, for me, so my question is this.
Out of the characters discussed in this video, who would be the best potential fit for a vape team or just the best character of that list who I haven't mentioned for just general use? [I know I won't be able to rely on just 1 kind of team...]
Mavuika doesn't need Xingqiu as she's optimal to do mostly charge attack but Barbara can't give enough hydro aura for vape because of her small ring AoE. Furina will most likely to rerun next version, she'll be the best hydro partner for Mavuika. Also, since you prefer a more comfort playstyle and wanna replace Noelle then Lan Yan is a good character to pick.
@@Arrmorant but we can get lan yan from banners easily, she is not a limited time character, should this guy pick xinqiu as she is more versatile overall
@@infernoscorpion5945 Bro make up your mind, you already said that Xingqiu is a no-go from you. He's also not great for Mavuika teams as I mentioned before. If you really want his constellation then you're free to choose him, nobody is stopping you.
Okay, if you're gonna pull (which you didn't mentioned beforehand) then sure choose other. Lan Yan is also versatile, as she can be used as a shielder, debuffer (VV artifact), and buffer (thrilling tales). She's a budget hybrid of Zhongli + Kazuha.
Xingqiu messing with her potential what? He enables her to vape actually lol
Also, to the one who replied, Mavuika's best combo is C2Dash, not just spamming CA, so while Xingqiu's personal damage does go down teh drain bc he only ticks every 2-3s, he works with her fine.
He also is better as a shielder than Noelle bc he straight up reduces damage taken so you're always taking only like 60% damage instead of 100%, and his healing is also good enough for overworld content at least
Xingqiu is the best option if you want a vape team.
but as for other good options
-Lanyan is way better than Noelle as a shielder + she can hold TTDS
-Yaoyao - you already have her though iirc so ignore if you do
-Beidou - she's not really meta esp now that Ororon took over most of her role even in soup teams, but she's great as a general purpose unit if you don't have him
-Xiangling - yes she's free but her C4 is what puts her ahead of every other pyro in the game
The rest of the options are rather mid for you, since Gaming, who is the other "good" character here, is definitely not beating Mavuika and taking her spot lol
@@justapasserbyrandomperson9325 Yea, about that. Found out some updated info on that whole thing after the OC. I'm less concerned about bookworm not being a good fit now, but there's no reason to edit said OC to reflect that.
So how do I start Lantern rite and how do I claim the free four star
Production on your videos is always top notch! Love it! TY ❤
I already havd Yaoyao, do you have recommendations on how to build her? Artifacts? Weapon, etc?
gr8 vid once again mr shark
Here's the thing guys, y'all can rule out Lan yan unless you want her at c2 because your almost guaranteed to get at least 1 copy of her on the banner
I can't remember the last time genshin introduced a 4* genuinely worth building. Maybe c6 Faruzan?
ey yall forgetting that lan yan is a crazy dps aswell bro
I have xianglin C3 and no xingque, I need xiangling for my Mualani team but I’m unsure if I should choose xingque or xiangling. I also have both furina and yelan but no mavuika
Also to everyone, if you’re planning on pulling on the Arlecchino/Clorande banners, i recommend not getting free Lan Yan, since she IS on the banner
Well, I am going for C1 for Yaoyao as I like her and play her a lot 😊 Other characters I have C0 or C6 or not close to important constellations, so I just go with Liyue bunny girl
I have Nahida (and my Yaoyao is C5, bc I got both Zhongli and Neuvillette), my Xingqiu is C3, my Xiangling is C1 and my Beidou is C0 (she was my first DPS, actually). The thing is, I don't have a pyro DPS right now, so I thought about getting Gaming, as his playstyle is pretty fun. Oh, and I won't pull for Arlecchino bc I'm saving for Wriothesley (just bc I love the character, and Idk when he'll come back).
Definitely rushing c6 Lan Yan to on-field her in Electrocharge team.
Gonna be getting 3 5-stars on her banner anyways, so if I don't get c6 before then, she's my Lantern pick.
Can you make a lanyan guide when she releases? If i want to make her a defense character, or a main dps or something, i mainly want her as a shielder for my neuvillette,
I needed the chongyun one since I'm a kaeya main!!!!
Gonna pick Yun Jin, I’m going to see if this video change my opinion
Yeah, still getting Yun Jin, I’ve already got C6 Xingqiu and Yao Yao, I’m going to pull for Arlechinno so I’m going to get Lanyan, so yeah I’m going to go for C6 Yunjin
Dude. I'm blown away with Lan Yan... it is criminal that they made her a 4-star. She plays like a 5-star character without the flair. She's too good.
Guys I'm a physical dps C6 Xinyan main with R2 Redhorn I don't care what anyone says shes my fave therefore everyone should pull for her
I need advice I have a c4 gaming and aspire to get c6 one day but he never goes on banner. I love my boy but I don’t know if I should get him or lan yan
I'm either getting my Yanfei's c4 because my double anemo team needs a shield, or Lanyan because I'm skipping Arlecchino and Chlorinde to pull on Chronicle and I really like collecting anemo characters
Im planning to get Lan-Yan, i dont know why she seems satisfying to use and fun
