2 or so years without a cold...the streak couldn't last forever...

It's always fun to see other people's "regret" lists because, being an F2P player myself, I'll inhale absurd amounts of copium before I utter the words "I regret this character"

Best feeling is pulling for a character and kinda feeling like it was a mistake, forgetting about them for a while, and then randomly discovering how fun they are for certain tasks!

Finally someone else who doesnt hate ayaka sprint. Its good for exploration and can even make her walk on water forever. Not only that but it also gives her the same speed as tall male characters which are the fastest. Plus its still good in combat you just need to get used to it..

I personally don't regret pulling for any of my characters. I've grown to love each and every one of them.

Thank you for appreciating Cyno, Childe and Fire Emblem

Albedo… he is the only character I regret pulling. Just because of his limited bis sword that I didn’t even have a chance to get. The damage difference between HoD and cinnabar sword is so huge. I mean, having a character and knowing you will never get his full potential is heartbreaking. When they put cinnabar sword in Albedo’s trial I thought they will make a way to get old event weapons, but it was just a copium 🥺

Only character I regret is klee, she's still level 50 and I was already a yanfei main before pulling her. One character I started to regret was Cyno, but now the only thing I regret doing is not getting his weapon, I love him soooo much

I've started prioritising characters I like the playstyle of over meta characters. I don't really regret building big dps numbers but I really enjoy quickstyle swap reaction combos. My fav team rn is ayato tighnari fischl and kokomi :)

Venti being like car insurance is the most accurate thing ever

Intro 0:00 Eula 0:44 Xiao 1:57 Ayaka 2:47 Klee 4:08 Honourable mention (Albedo) 6:00 Dori (c6)7:02

Imagine if MYH gave us balance patches to fix the messes they keep releasing in clearly unfinished states. I.e Klee or Dori. Would be great to see them on the saem level as other characters.

i only pull when i like the character, so it saves me from having this list. the only limited character who sort of falls in this list is klee, who i got from a guarantee at 1.0 because i didn't know how the pity system works. still, i think she's really fun to play. i actually only built her a year after i got her. i bring her to abyss every now and then to challenge myself

ngl, I almost got Haran for Ayaka because I found her dashing + NA + CA way more fun than her burst and I hated using her burst, especially when it missed.

The second reason to not like Xiao is kind of a skill issue tbh, but I understand that. Not everyone wants to plan where to push enemies and obviously everyone has their preferences. I mean my favorite character to play is Diluc lmao he's not everyone's cup of tea

HOT ass take: Yanfei isn't more fun Klee. She's more fun Hu Tao.

I regretted pulling Miko in her first banner. But dendro made her a bit better but the energy cost sucks especially since her skill doesn’t give her energy.

I don't think I'll ever regret pulling for a character because the only characters I really pull for are ones that I kinda want regardless of how much I think I'd play them. I got Nahida because she's adorable (knowing I'd barely play her), I got Wanderer because I like his character arc and his voice lines sometimes make me laugh ("quit following me!"), and I got Xiao recently because the chasm archon quest made me emotionally invested in him and he has my favorite character design in the game, but I honestly didn't think I'd play him much! his gameplay took some getting used to but now I find myself crashing random hilichurl camps for no reason just to play him for a liiiiiittle longer every day lol (my ability to build characters is, frankly, embarrassing so spiral abyss is out of the question). I also only pulled for Layla because she's starry and pretty, and I plan to pull for Mika just because I think he's the cutest thing. my account is basically just a gallery of characters I like looking at lol

Cyno being the most regretable character from the community hurts me as a Cyno main. Did they not use him with nahida? He is insanely strong in quickbloom, he is meta in CN server too.

I kind of regretted Ayaka for a while, I pulled her bc I needed a strong Cryo, but I ended up using Kokomi and Venti way more and with Dendro Cryo is even less important, but tbh her skin has made up for it, now I'm trying out some stuff with Layla. The only character I kind of regret is Hu Tao, I should have skipped because I had no clue Eula, one of my favourite chracters, was rerunning next, but I feel like I wouildn't have regretted her as much in a different circumstance. With Mika around the corner Eula is gonna get a rerun for sure (like I really hope so it's been a long while), so at least it will be over. I kind of disagree with Eula being formulaic, I don't enjoy Itto in the trials but for Eula from what i know there are different ways to play around your burst, you can swap and release it earlier if you feel like the rotation is getting longer and you don't need as many damage, in trials I've done I hate Itto but I enjoy Eula much more (I even prefer Noelle to Itto playstyle wise Itto just has the worst playstyle for my preferences even if I love his character, I would really have regretted pulling him if I ever did). Eula rerun wen

I don't have regrets because I'm the type of person who only pulls for a character if I like them. Really saves me the trouble of having a list of characters I regret pulling for.

If there's one character I regret getting it would be Nilou on my old account.I don't hate Nilou at all but I do wish I pulled for Albedo on his banner instead since I mained Klee on that account and and thought it would be wholesome for klee to have her brother with her.

The moment i saw dori's attack animation I was already, Nope not gonna use this character

:0 The first person who also kinda regretted pulling for Ayaka!! I don't particularly know why I regret pulling for her, I just find her to be a bit annoying. Not sure if it's personality-wise or playstyle-wise. She just gave me the same ick that Itto did.

Always very happy to enjoy the evening with your uploads. Highly agree with Dori too, I actually had a pretty good anticipation that it might be a good alternative to Kuki (I didn't have her at that time) and ended up into a pretty strong disappointment. As much as I don't personally enjoy claymore users, having Dori was pretty bad for me :'))

I don’t really regret Ayaka but she is the only character who’s dmg I have that has dmg that I wish wasn’t surrounded around her burst

Guide videos often say that Albedo can fit into any team if you don’t know who the last member should be. For me, he almost only exist in mono geo. Outside of mono geo, he’s mainly there to take the spotlight from the main dps. He can also buff EM but I’d rather use Sucrose for that, who I don’t even touch nowadays

I also wish for everyone, but characters I rarely use are Eula, Shenhe, Albedo, Zhongli (yes Zhongli) and Klee

The only character I "regret" pulling is Ganyu in 2.4, not because she's bad or I don't like her, but because I realise that her synergy with the characters I had at the time is not so great. The only Ganyu team I could play was Melt with Bennet, Xiangling, and Diona, and this wasn't so great when I needed Bennet and Xiangling in the other half of the Abyss. I think it would've been better to pull for Zhongli at the time.

personally, i dont really find myseld really regretting anyone. I like having the choice of a different playstyle and regularly use everyone!

To everyone that really regrets a character, I hope one day a character you really like comes along and the character you regret ends up filling a perfect spot on a team with that character. The game is not complete yet!

I'm suffering through using Dori because I've never picked up a Shinobu. But trust, the second she appears on a banner next, I am wishing a million times, haha.

5:37 Acording to theory crafters Yanfei is INDEED stronger than Klee ! Although she's only about a 5% DPS increase , Yanfei is so much smoother to play than Klee , and thanks to being a 4 star you can get her cons way more easily , her C4 even allowing her to become a pretty good shielder

I got Yae originally because my best friend got her,ended up loving her completely,kokomi came out of nowhere and now she's in any team i make,cyno same,both him and kokomi came at super low pity and won the 50/50's,cyno was bound to stay low invested but then i got his polearm and he is just so strong,and like 3 days ago alhaitam came out of my wish number 20 and well,happy Regret having diluc c1 and building him tho

So about Dori, her electro self-infusion is quite meaningful for kazuha/sayu's swirl in teams where Nahida yeet away all the electro w/ her dendro app. She's definitely useful in Yae/Kazuha/Nahida team to battery Yae without sacrificing survivability and whatnot.

Ayaka is honestly one of the few characters I’m just not interested in getting at all. Probably one of the last characters I’ll ever get whenever I do get around to pulling for her

Ayaka on this list is crazy for me

I love hypercarries like Itto, Eula, Xiao, etc. But my only regret is Wanderer. I wish his blue stamina would deplete much slower when you dash or elevates. Also his damage is so underwhelming without C6 faruzan or C4 jean.

Meanwhile I love Eula for being braindead straightforward for when I have to play on a phone and aiming with my Ganyu becomes annoying, lmao.

Yaoyao really saved Cyno for me. He was benched for so long and suddendly I can't go out without him anymore

I too love Ayaka and Mona sprint. I personally want a pyro with one of these sprints because it would be fun to just set fire to the grass

I think I have "summoner's remorse" because a lot of characters are left unused until some rare event when I decide to pull them out. I've even stopped trying to build everyone because so many just end up collecting dust...that and artifacts can burn. Honestly, I feel bad about it too.

I've used to regret my Xiao, but recently i got a Jape spear from the standard banner and the release of Faruzan too made him more interesting to use again

Agree about ayaka burst. Have you seen it in beta? It looked like she released an invisible shadow clone who went on a rampage with its blade, no clue why they changed that.

It hits different when you try to build supports around the character that you pull rather than pulling for characters hoping they would work with typical supports like Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu,...

No regrets for any characters tbh because I have a rotating main team so I always use different characters to keep things free. The closest thing I have to a regret is tartaglia since I got him while trying to get rosaria but I still use him occasionally especially when up against mobs.

I regret yoimiya. She wastes a lot of time killing enemies unless she needs a higher investment

I Hope you get better ratheil plus I have a video idea rank every character on how good of a freind a character will be

Respect for uploading this vid, I can already hear the angry keyboard typing XD

Even when Albeto was the worst. Mine was CRACKED. I don't even need to refarm for the new set (although I am trying, but I really don't want to farm for another year again, plus I have other characters to raise) Then his new sword put him as my best character.

As A F2P . I just love when a yellow color appears when I pull wishes.

Totally unrelated, but I have never realized that you can break that wall at 8:39, I always crawled through the small cracks when farming those guys :D

Mona-Ayaka dash is best for dodging. It consumes less stamina and you can do it multiple times. You can just slams the button multiple times and even you can dodge the raiden shogun attacks

i don't regret getting dcaramouche even though he's benched and unbuilt. he helps me with exploration and getting to areas i couldnt have got to before (because no kazuha or venti)

Eula is one of the characters i would love to pull since i like her personality but i might not pull her because i am not a huge fan of physical.

Dunno why people hate on Ayaka's dodge because when I use her I never have to because everything is perma frozen or dead.

Never had any regrets bcs i only pulled on characters i really want

the special dashes that mona and ayaka have are faster then normal running

I haven't pulled much at all since I only joined fairly recently, I don't really have any regrets so far but I do sometimes with Wanderer

I have C6 Klee. If there is any regrets, it's that Mihoyo made her relatively weak and refuses to at least make her burst stay active while she switches out.

Dang you actually hit me with a 1-2 there both my mains Ayaka and Eula are here. daaaang

For people who are bored of Xiao/hate the knockback/want to use his normal attacks: Let me introduce you to XiaoLad The team is: Xiao, Xingqiu, Dendro MC/Nahida, and Fischl Put Xiao on VV full EM (just steal your best VV set) and Favonius Polarm, Put Xingqiu on Emblem, Dendro on deep wood, Fischl on Thundering Fury Xingqiu burst, E, E, Dendro MC burst, E, Fischl burst, Xiao burst, normal attacks and skill spam. Stay near OZ. It's a hyperbloom team where you use electro swirled to activate hyperbloom Curtesy of Zajef77 (my favorite theory crafter because he doesn't stick to what he's "supposed" to do and uses just about everyone)

I don't really regret pulling any character, the closest I can think is Childe and it's not cause I hate his kit, no I like it, it's just that I have too many build projects going on right now that he keeps getting pushed down the list to get finished, collecting dust and I kinda regret getting him to not use for lord knows how long.

While I enjoy playing Cyno, I kinda regret getting him because I feel like I will end up replacing his team in abyss and that his actually strong team is one I don't like

Nilou... At first. Bloom was a new reaction at the time, and I just wasn't used to getting a delayed dmg. Used to be, when I click... something dies, or gets damaged. It's almost tactile. With Nilou, you just had to let her 3x E out and wait for your dendro teammates to create reactions and your driver to create more. It's not the most engaging. Then Nahida came out, and I still built my Nilou, because I wasn't satisfied. Now, at 57khp, and EM focus besides, she's always been in my abyss team since getting her built. Same with my Itto, I just built him and now, there's no regrets. Turns out, you just gotta build them, and because of the unlocked potential, (and the time investment you put in) you WILL love them. Lol. because that build? That's your baby.

The maplestory music hits my soul!

i regret doing a 10-pull when approaching pity on raidens banner lmao… i accidentally got one raiden at 80 pity and her c1 in one multi and I regret not doing singles because I could’ve gotten alhaitham…

Trying hard to understand ur explanation with that sick background music I instantly "WOGH PERSONA, tuturutuu tuturuttuuu~"

Dude, i was trying to get yao yao and got al Haitham c1 :)

I do not regret pulling her, but Nilou is the 5* I use the least This is not because she's bad, she's the best at what she does, its just rn it feels like her team isn't complete yet I got Nahida and hoping to get Yaoyao too, but it still feels like a future character is gonna complete her best team and idk how long that'll take

I really regret getting ayato since I got him due to the hype but I hate how he doesn't move while doing his charged attack

I remember co op ing during klee's first rerun, and everyone was saying she was the strongest character. How things have changed

Characters I regret.. Itto (I thought he was fun but never built him and im not the biggest fan of geo, and honestly I just wanted to be taller than my friend in-game who also got him), Xiao (never built him and dont use him), Ganyu (same reason). Now I would say Tighnari, Mona, Keqing, Diluc and Jean but technically most of those were 50/50s so I cant regret them. I also kind of regret Albedo, tho he does have a build (despite his low crit rate). And finally, I regret getting Wanderer. I loved his story, personality and design so much I just had to get him only to discover I dont really like his gameplay, especially since if you don't have a shield combat in air can be difficult, and I have Sucrose. Yes I made Sucrose a DPS because shes my favorite along with Wanderer (lore wise ofc) and I love her gameplay.

I regret pulling Yae Miko, I had her BiS. I simped for her the moment I saw her but after I got her something about her feels off. I tried to make her work, put Fischl on her, do Aggravate, do Benny, do Hyperbloom. I still feel unsatisfied. I then realized that I like being interactive in battle, that’s why I like Ningguang and Ayaka cuz I need to keep clicking buttons. Though you could do NA Yae Miko, Ningguang’s NA is still more fun and has gimmicks to it. On the side note, I also feel the same way with Venti. I kinda regret him cuz I cant make him work on chonky enemies but the moment you need him, he feels worth every hours of my chest hunting. Also, I thought I regretted pulling for Nilou but she made abyss a child’s play and her cutscene in Samsara is 🤌 lol.

I don't regret having someone particularly. I only pull who I want. The only regret is have to skip rerun whoever I wanted for the new/next character I also want.

Eula and Ayaka rock. Dori mains in co-op make me sad. I don’t regret anyone but I really never ever use Shenhe, Scaramouche, or Xiao.

Ayaka is my biggest regret. She’s just boring. I also kinda regret Zhongli tbh. Pulling Zhongli is like smoking for the first time. Now I’m addicted to him.

I also used to regret "pulling" for Ayaka, but it's a different story. My account got hacked during the extended period of Ayaka's rerun back in 2.6 all the way to mid 2.7, and my hacker got her alongside c1 Diluc. After I got my account back, I used to always look at her with anger because she basically stole my savings for Baizhu. I would throw her off the sky nail on dragonspine a few times, let her succumb to the cold climate, let her burn next to the fire flower, etc. But after 2 weeks living in denial, I started to think that I should've been mad at the hacker and not the character, and hey I basically completed the Yashiro commision comp because I also happen to have Ayato and Thoma. Gradually, I started to warm up to her, and after another few days I've finally convinced myself to properly build her. Now I'm a proud Kamisato siblings haver, and using them both in the same team is one of the best things I've ever done.

Surely I got baited with the Ayaka in the thumbnail… surely?

Agree with #1. I have Cyno -- who I don't use -- because I was collecting the 4-stars. I don't have Dori at C6, but I did wreck my pity to get her and it absolutely wasn't worth it.

More power to u. But I've loved my eula since I got her back on her first rerun and still play her till today

As for Dori I find that I actually use her on an aggravate team and for a very specific reason. To help understand the why let me explain another team and a problem in it. I had played an aggravate team of c4 Yae Miko, C2 Nahida, C0 Kazuha, C6 Fischl. Now with both Yae Miko and Fischl both applying electro Nahida keeps clearing it off what feels like every second from the enemy and that makes getting electro swirl on Kazuha really iffy. I found a way to get around this problem by swapping Fischl out for Dori. Sure I lose Fischl DPS but compared to the monsters of Yae Miko and Nahida on the team it really didn't feel like I was losing much of the overall party DPS. Dori's burst when down applies electro to the active character and Kazuha can use that to swirl with even if Nahida refuses to allow electro to stay on enemy. So basically trading Fischl for Dori is a change to make the rotation easier and adds the comfort of heals at the cost of a little bit of party DPS. If Yae Miko and Nahida were both c0 with f2p weapons then Fischl's contribution to party damage would be a much higher percentage but with how strong they are really out classes whatever Fischl can bring. Also I did give Dori a budget build, I gave her artifacts I already had so I didn't farm for them and I only leveled her to 80 and leveled her burst only to lv8. My Dori gets her burst back in seconds and reliably has it ready on CD with such a budget build. I was using her at C0 for all this as I just got the free one from a past event and I didn't dump any wishes in her. I have zero regrets on my Dori. I did get her c1 from a free wish on standard so that is just more reliability to activate sacraficial greatsword ability.

Eula is the only character I regret pulling. At the time Raiden was my only 5* limited character and I needed anything I could use to help me with the abyss. People said she's good with Raiden so I went for it. In the end I found her gameplay and aesthetic too boring so I almost never used her...

Hmm... Stiiill gonna be pulling for Ayaka. Gave in using my Welkin currency for her Fontaine outfit, likewise have a soft spot for gimmicky mobility (hey, Kazoo pogo!), and here's a reason for ya: I still don't have a character who can double my weapon material synthesis. Skipped Alhaitham, but I have some catching up to do now that I've jumped up to AR56/WL7.

Ganyu. The idea that I have to play around her charged attack feels so tedious. And this says a lot when I main klee, but at least you can aid her "clunkiness" with cancels and positioning. Also, Eula just because physical feels like a fossil of a concept.

Well. Im very picky when it comes to pulling new characters. I think the only character i regret pulling is Childe (mr cooldown). But to be fair i never really wanted him, just wanted to try the act of "pulling". Also Albedo, but again, i pulled for Bennett Sucrose and Fischl. So Albedo was an acceptable collateral damage:)

I definitely regret Eula and going for her c1 and signature weapon, and I regret pulling Childe though it was mostly for a joke anyways. The boy stays at level 69 until the kills enough stuff to level up.

The Ayaka dash has been actually finally fixed in one of the last updates, still, not as good for dodging :/

The one I really regret is Xiao: I don’t use him, pogostick on mobile is kinda copium, and I was supposed to lose on his banner to guarantee the actual anemo boi I wanted (Venti, but don’t worry I won that 50/50 too bruh) But now that I have the jade spear I feel like I have to use him lmao

I think the one I regret most pulling for was Raiden. I got baited in by the hype trailer and her burst animations, but when I played her story quest, and with all the quests in inazuma in mind... my impression of her dropped to rock bottom 😭

Your view on Ayaka is almost identical to mine. I like her dash and CA, as well as the free cryo infusion. But the rest of her kit feels uninspiring.

Woah woah woah... My guy spent money to c6 Dori???? Dude you need counseling 🤣🤣

The one character that I regret spending time and resources on is, weirdly enough, Ayato. I mained him for a bit but the second I got him friendship Level 10, I never touched him again. Even a benched character like Itto I’ll play with every now and then, but never Ayato. His play of just standing there holding his attack just got real stale real fast. I could never really find a way to make him fun for me. But other than that, absolutely no regrets with anyone else.

I think the only character that I felt bad pulling for was Childe but not because of his gameplay, I got mad at him at some point but I don't remember why 😂 I used him in the abyss for a very long time and he was my strongest character at the moment and actually enjoyed his gameplay... Till Ayato and Itto came around lol. I replaced him immediately and now, I can't stand his gameplay anymore (again, not because his cooldown) It's because Ayato has some interruption resistance and Childe can be juggled around quite easily if hit 😅

While not an owner of all characters i regret pulling eula right now: , i pulled her when i was still new to the game and didn't know anything, i pulled her just because of her autos, i didn't even need to know her burst i played her in trial her autos seemed really fun and as someone that was playing physical kaeya at the time and also physical razor eula felt like a perfect fit, and my past self loved eula.... and then inazuma came out. Not only did i get ayaka, i got incredibly lucky and got c2 raiden while trying to get c4 xiangling (about 70 pulls total with carry over 50 pity from ayaka banner), but also enemies just countered her, you had enemies that would be mobile and not let you attack them like rifthounds especially electro ones (because you carried electro on you so they were always enraged), you had the rise of PMA that meant i did less physical damage and most importantly I as a player changed, i started liking different teams i started liking using taser, reverse melt, freeze, i stopped playing eula even before dendro came out, now that it's out i have even less of a reason to play her. and it makes me sad but somewhat nostalgic to think back about eula but i don't think i want to go back to her. she was a character that helped me get 681k crit in 1 single strike, and while i can't beat that right now i can see myself being able to in the future.

The only character i regret is nilou Since i wasnt going to pull for nahida, and i dont have kokomi, so trying to use nilou for me is like trying to use hutao without xingqiu

Making sure i dont regret my next pulls: Should i go for yelan or skip and save for nahida? (currently on 50/50 and my luck sucks) Rn my main team is Alhaitham, raiden, dendro mc (nahida would replace), and xingqiu

I would say cyno. I waited 2 years for him just to bench him in a month. It really made me reconsider how I pull my 5* and now I’m looking not only for an appealing design but one that will elevate my experience. It’s the reason I didn’t pull Al haithaim. He’s hot but not necessary for any of the teams I want to try. I’ll probably pull him on a rerun

I don't really have any pull regrets. And I'm like one of the ten remaining cyno main out there. But if I have to choose, probably scara. I dunno, it just feels really awkward when he gets hit by enemies while in the air and then he falls and then he gets up. Also his charged atk is just really weird, I sometimes can't charged atk on my phone. I like his backstory and he's cute but still don't even really like him that much since I just see him as unlikable little gremlin. And I think his biggest downfall is Faruzan. Wow bro, can't wait to build my c0 faruzan that I got after scara's banner with 300+% er and still doesn't get her burst back in time. It's just harder to build around your support instead of your hyper carry.

What you said about xaio is true there was a domain in sumeru that creates a vortex that suck enemies if you do plunge attack and that made me clear the domain in seconds even though my xaio was not well built .. maybe they don’t want to do it since in his c6 you won’t be doing much plunging unless I’m single target
