I don't think its particularly guaranteed. But I could see it happening.

It may not happen within the next 6-12 months but if the game goes long enough it absolutely will.

HI3 has Scythes as weapons. If those come to Genshin I will roll on the weapon banner for the first time ever.

Does the pity only happen once on the featured banner? Cause I got Diluc with it. I really wanted Zhongli but yeeeeah I really can't complain.

This guy is like 30 lvls below my other characters at the moment and more than pulling his weight already. Just wish his model didn't have a weird baby face

Pity for 5*s happens at most every 90 wishes. You get a 50% chance to get the featured character, and if you don't, your next pity will be 100%. So if you hit pity again during this banner, you'll get Zhongli.

If you don't hit pity again this banner, it'll carry over to the next, and you'll be guaranteed that featured 5*

Oh no you di'n't
No, pity never goes way.

You'll never take more than 90 pulls to get a 5* on the featured banner, and if your first 5* isn't the featured one, you're guaranteed to get them the next time you pull a 5*

I thought Ning teams just gave up on reactions anyways.

Ning+Fischl is pretty good because the geo+electro crystallize reaction will trigger fischl's A4 passive on every one of Ningguang's attacks.

Cao Ni Ma posted:

I'd always think double geo would be super strong with damage that dont give any fucks about reactions but its just not viable currently in a lot of content that puts you against 3 different types of fatui unless they add an universal fatui shield stripper character or add some sort of reaction that neutralizes shields regardless of element. Like geo + dendro or something stupid.

The sad thing is that claymores and geo characters are at least capable of slowly chipping away at abyss mage shields, but for some reason with the fatui buffs they removed that possibility. It's just impossible to strip them if you don't have the correct element in your party.

Have you accepted The Void as your lord and savior?
I really hadn't planned on pulling but needing a Chong to farm for fire artifacts means I'll be liquidating my resources. If anyone wants to know what it's like to have zero Chong but C4 Xinyan (who is also determined to be completely worthless) ask me in a couple of hours.

RareAcumen posted:

I have absolutely no experience with gacha games so take this thought with all the seriousness that it deserves.

Same, but from the things being posted in here about mihoyo's last game it sounds like eventually having a good 5* won't matter and instead it's all about having a SSS 7* Gold Ultra Platinum Rare with an item from a specific event that makes the character ten times more powerful and also all elements and you can fly and shoot lasers from your eyes. You know, for starters.

Also same, I put in one final 10x on the old banner hoping for absolutely any of the 4*s, and instead broke pity at like 30 rolls and screwed myself out of geo-dad :( . I wish there was a "no thanks" button for rolls for cases like this, just give me glitter and let me keep my pity counters...

My childe from the last banner came out really weird and had a big hat and boobs, does that mean hitting the pity on this banner is 100% on the john glee coinflip? i know the 90 carries over i just don't know about the 50/50 bit

e: absolutely okay with getting mona though, her passive talent is probably the best in the game

I dunno if it works differently between heroes, but Enviosity just waits for the room to pulse Cryo and immediately uses Anemo MC's skill/burst

I'm guessing if you're using Venti or Sucrose, you go and stand in the middle of the AoE for it to absorb

Before I started rolling for Zhongli my Razor was C0.

I also lost the coin toss on my first 5*; thankfully I had enough rolls set up to hit the pity a second time and I am definitely not complaining based on who I got:

Got my pity Zhong. Went for C1, ended up with another Jean instead. I am ignoring the obvious signs the game is sending me and am now rolling with a four geo party. Is it good? No. Does Noelle synergize with any of the other three in any way? No. Will I replace her with Barbara eventually? Probably. But right now I am enjoying my rocks.

After doing ZL's trial I've decided he's probably good. He would actually be busted if his E hold generated energy. The strongest thing about him is a 20 second shield on a 12 second CD which is pretty unheard of + the ult. The only real difficult part is keeping his ult charged but 40 energy is so low that a lot of things like favonious weapons could come into play.

3 single pulls into the banner and it flashes gold, and Im screaming mad thinking I got Zhlong instead Diluc popped up. I dont see myself using him anytime soon but guaranteeing the next to be on banner is a good thing. So I decided to do more pulls now that thats out of the way, pulled the girl after like 30 pulls but not a single Razor. But two Chong constellations means I might opt to use him as my non fire carry.

Ive got Wolfs Gravestone AND Skyward Pride

C1 Xinyan, who from the test run seems real fun to play at least. Really wish her shield didn't rely on number of targets hit to pulse pyro though.

It's not the Razor I was hoping for but that's the gacha life, baby.

The game seems determined to not give me any 5 stars outside of pity timers. Took 80 rolls on Venti to get him, and now I'm currently 76 deep on Zhongli after blowing everything.

I did at least get all the 4* characters, who were all new. Razor and Chongyun will be good pickups I am sure.
