Just to be clear: I do think the starglitter shop is good for if you haven’t been able to get a staple 4 star or have been really unlucky with cons discord.gg/3dHkuMsgGU discord :)

We must sacrifice a whale. The epitomized path came after Tectone spent over a thousand dollars to get Homa. We must find a whale to spend 2000 dollars to get C6 Faruzan for Hoyo to realize the problem. We must sacrifice a whale.

A c6 kaeya/amber/lisa might be rarer than a c6 5 star 😂

I hate that there is just the chance to not get the 4 star that you want in a banner even after you pull well over 100 times. Not to mention the fact that it's actually easier to get a 5* than a specific 4* you want. It just feels really shitty when you don't get what you want.

I get that there are certain characters that MUST be on their protagonist's banner(Gorou on Itto banner, Sara on Raiden, Faruzan in Scara etc) but it would be so awesome to see them more often in other banners

There is also the problem of reverse powercreep. Alot of these new 4* characters almost always need c6 to function whereas the likes of Xq and Xiangling are ready to go at c0

thank god someone said it, I'm a quite new player (started playing around 5 months ago) and I feel like most 4 stars are SO hard to get to c4/c6 to build ""f2p friendly"" teams

Yup … just got mona tighnari and c2 wanderer only with 178 wishes.. no faruzan tho… oh and c54 yanfei… damn

Cautionary tale from a small spender here: In the last Ayayaka banner I really wanted to get my Diona C6. Since I also wanted Ayaka I thought it would be easy (my Diona was and still is C5). So, I pulled for Ayaka and got a Dehya at pity 75ish. Ok, I thought, I really want Ayaka. So I went again and got her also at pity 70ish. My Mika was C6, no Diona in sight. So I went to Shenha banner. And got her. At pity 80. No Diona. Got multiple extra Mikas. Don't pull for 4 star constellations lmao. EDIT: I did it! My Diona is finally C6! And I got Neuvillette in the process :3

as a diehard c6 noelle main i can't imagine if she was released nowadays when getting 4 stars are way harder now, with how niche she is it was a hard sell even back then let alone now they really need to add a batch of 4 stars to the starglitter shop other than the starting ones i really want gorou c6 but he's basically only ever on itto banners that i don't want

I feel like adding an epitomized path to the standard banner would be preferable so you can choose a 5 star and a 4 star you want to build towards (which would also include Kaeya/Lisa/Amber). And add the post-launch 4 stars to the starglitter shop (Chongyun and Sucrose crying in the corner).

Archons only rerun once a year and Sara only rerun with Raiden, not having Sara on the shop is criminal 😥

I'd say it is 100% worth it to buy Xingqui, Bennett or Fischl from the shop if you don't already have them. Depending on the teams you want to play I could see an argument for getting a copy of Beidou as well.

Can confirm, I started in 2.6 and have C1 Bennet and C12 Heizou. My Xingqiu is still C5 and I got 2 of him for free and 1 of him in the shop. The state of your account really depends on what banners you pull for.

All 4* characters you have should be in the shop to buy with starglitter, just like Tower of Fantasy

I totally agree with you, old 4 stars are getting difficult to get and many streamers use them all the time for their guides and say " you should have c6 by now everyone does" I started playing in January and have Xinqiu c1, Xianling c4 and Sucrose c0, Benny c0. Unfortunately, primos for f2p people are hard to get by, and wishing on banners with great 4 stars becomes difficult when they are paired with 5 stars you don't want just like Benny with Dehya.

This is me. I'm a new player, and got Candace and Kaveh instead of Fischl a few months ago, I finally got her off Paimon's shop last month, but content creators are like "everyone has a Fischl, a Bennet, and a Xingque." I have no Bennet. I was lucky to get a Xingque lrecently, but for most of my time, I've been making the most out of Noelle, Lisa, Kaeya and Xianling. Hoyoverse needs to think about this problem, since veteran players are getting burnt out and new players are getting 4-stars that don't work without constellations.

8:42 felt that, I got 4 or 5 Dori but not a single Kuki on Nahida's rerun. Kuki is my most used charactrer but is still C0.

Whats worse is there isnt even 4* pity or an epitomised path to select a 4* like there should be now we have such a large character pool!

4 Stars are secret 6 stars imo. Even if they appear on a limited time banner, the odds of getting them are low 'cause the game will sometimes decide to give one 4 star multiple times instead of giving each banner 4 star at random

Another thing that I think is a problem is that you can still get characters even after you've reached C6 with them. This was a problem I had with I think the Nahida banner where I was trying to pull for her and at the time, I had C4 Xingqui. But by the time I finally got Nahida, I got C6 Xingqui plus 3 MORE XINGQUIS THAT JUST GOT TRANSFERRED INTO MASTERLESS STARGLITTER(and I don't even use Xingqui because I have Yelan and ik Xingqui is better at C6 but I already freaking built Yelan and I'm too poor to build another character that I don't really need). That is 15 measly masterless starglitter, less than half of what you need to buy a 4 star in a shop and not even enough to get a 4 star weapon in the shop and the shop weapons weren't that good in the first place. I would have much preferred getting a constellation on a 4 star character that I actually use, or even a constellation for a character that I don't use yet but might in the future, or maybe that character will become more powerful in the future(for example when kuki released people were talking about how bad she is but when dendro came out she was a character that is used all the time for dendro reaction). I was so angry about how multiple thousands of my hard earned primogems were practically being flushed down the toilet. I think if they really are going to continue forcing us to get characters after we've C6ed them, then they should make masterless starglitter a lot more valuable. For example, cut the cost of how much the items in the shops cost and/or put more valuable things in the shop so it's worth buying. Like more characters in the shop and better weapons. Maybe they could put 5 star weapons that are on the standard banner in the shop and just have the price be a high amount of masterless starglitter, I think that will be better. Otherwise my masterless starglitter is just rotting. I also agree that the 4 stars aren't up on banners enough. I'm one of the few people in Genshin that actually use Chongyun because I play Kaeya and Chongyun is great for him, but it took nearly a YEAR, 11 months for him to pop up on the banner again. When he did pop up, it was on Yoimiya's and Yae Miko's character, BOTH OF WHICH I ALREADY HAVE, and I'm not willing to get any 5 star constellations ever because I'm a f2p and that small damage buff isn't worth that many primogems. So I only was willing to do 3 10 pulls and I was so scared I was going to get one of them, and I didn't get a single Chongyun constellation. So it's been long over a year since I've gotten any Chongyun constellations and he's stuck at C2, and this is the character I want to use for Abyss. I shouldn't have to go through this much trouble to get constellations simply for a 4 star, especially if they literally only put him on banners once every year. I agree that they should have an epitomed path for 4 stars and put them on more often because man this experience is terrible.

As a new player who started at the start of the eula banner thanks for sticking up for us genuinely new accounts

as a new player (3.6) this video spoke to me so much. im ar 51 atm and i still dont have a bennet or a xingxui, which sucks as they are prevelant in many "f2p friendly" teams i see all over youtube. i dont even have a kuki shinobu so trying to build "f2p friendly" hyperbloom teams is kinda hard. its gotten so bad i've even considerd rerolling just for a better 4 star due to how important they seem to be, but i'm too far atm to be worth my time. for me , it makes building for abyss very difficult as im left to only use the starter characters everyone is given or the suboptimal 4 stars i got from standard and character banners, which wouldn't be a problem if resources werent so limited as if i spend them on these suboptimal options it will take away gold/mora/mats i could of used for better 4 stars i get in the future. then again i dont wish for them to only put "meta" 4 stars as i kinda do like some of the none meta ones. for instance yanfei is one of my favs so i was glad to pull on wanderer/kokomi banner even if i didnt really care for either atm(got wanderer early pity and lost the 50/50 koko early pity, but got at least one yanfie which was nice). some may say "she is taking another meta characters spot" but i believe all characters should be given the chance to get pulled for thier fans out thier. tbh i think your solution of more characters in a phase, or more phases is the way to go to get the 4 stars to run more often. star glitter shop is also valid. tbh the concern of losing the value of the pulls after u get c6 while valid, i think is less of a concern of newer players as i would assume they would have a harder time reaching that any time soon with the ever growing diluting pool of 4 stars so that may be something to consider as well. anyways love your channel and hope to see more in the future.

Great topic! I also covered this in an old “Pull for who you like” video. The other thing about Xingqiu only running every 5-6 months is that if a player missed his last banner, they might have been playing for half a year then they might have already got 36* and are no longer a beginner. Since many creators make guides for players getting their first 36 star it can make guides almost redundant 😮

This is so true. New players are so screwed these days on trying to get really good 4 stars, off banner or not you could wish for a Fischl and get a Dori. You could wish for a Xingqui and get a Kaveh and the stardard banner is so much worse! You literally don't know what you're gonna get. This isn't 1.0 when there were like 10 4 stars. I've been playing since 2.x and haven't c6'd a single 4 star. Going for the 4 star equivalent 5 stars like Yelan or Kazuha is so much easier when you don't have the 4 stars or they're at lower cons. It's only going to get worse in later patches if they keep releasing mid/ dogwater 4 stars to dilute the wishing pool.

fun fact i am ar 55 i have 6 5star characters and am still missing Xingqiu , i got Kokomi before him cuz my only hydro character was Barbara

As a player that started in 2.8 I can definitely confirm. Took me probably 3 months to get my first copy of Bennet. 5 months to get my first copy of Xinqiu.

I started playing during the yelan/hu tao banner, and i did not do a single wish on that banner becuase i still wasnt sure if that was how i was supposed to be using my primos. I still have not gotten xingqiu meanwhile i have now got a c6 mika and razor which are characters im not even using :D (lost 50/50 on eula which i almost just wanted because i had c6 mika)

The best part is, youre never guarenteed to get copies of the four star character you want. Statistically, players can expect to get their desired 4 star in around 40 pulls. Since there is no pity system, outside of being guaranteed a 4 star every 10 wishes, theres a very real chance you get the five star character nefore you get more than one copy of the 4 star. Its happend to me with Faruzan/Wanderer, it happend as well with Kaveh/Baizhu. Its like everyone says, just pull for the 5 star characters.

My problem with limited character banners is I am getting more 4* weapons than characters like wth

I feel like they should rate up a certain element for 4-stars in standard banner for each patch. Some sort of target pulling to hoard those acquaint fates for.

It's like the opposite problem of powercreep in other (gacha) games. Because older characters are so evergreen, their appearance on banners will inevitably be diluted by newer characters appearing who are stealing their showtimes, which conflicts with newer players who will have less opp. to pull for essential 'broken' chars / get constellations. If there is powercreep, new players will simply pull for the newer 4 stars and the olders 1s naturally fall by wayside

i'm experiencing this! i started playing almost 3 months ago and i already have everything at 100% exploration (a lot, i know lol) and even with all that grinding, exploration and farming i still feel super weak because im missing xingqiu and bennett, undoubtedly the best 4 stars. it feels sooo limiting and there are so many teams i want to build that include either of the two and i just can't because they're rerunning/available in the shop every half a year. imo, the same way they're going to implement 3 5 star banners, they should increase either to 5-6 4 stars per banner, or even better, 2 sets of 3 4-stars and let you choose which set to pull, sorta like the weapon banner feature

As someone who's been playing for over two years, I can confirm I don't have C6 Xingqui. I have C4 and I got almost all copies of him as a reward in an event. As a Hu Tao main, this hurts me deeply.

Great video. I started playing at the end of last year during Yae Miko's banner and I felt every problem you mentioned. Getting a 4* you want can be really rough for new players. In my case, it was Bennett and Xingqiu. I saw everyone using them, but couldn't manage to get any of them until maybe 5 months in when they were available in the store. Before that, I tried getting them on the rare banners when they were featured (such as yelan's and dehya's), but always ended up getting other 4* chars or weapons. It was a pretty painful experience. Having an epitomized path for 4* and/or having more of them rotating in the shop would be a blessing.

I agree with the epitomized path for 4* characters. I would personally love to see it on the standard banner in general. Path 1 would be more expensive but it would be for a 5* character or weapon. Path 2 would be for the 4* of your choice. I would take the 4* characters out of the starglitter shop because when do you ever have 34 master starglitter? (Maybe you do, I don't ever).

I agree, I'd love to see some kind of path or way to select 4 stars. I get that they want money so they're unlikely to change but it would make the game more fun and interesting because you could build it on purpose instead of on accident.

It took me 140 wishes to get a single copy of Layla on the first banner she ran on and that was when I realized how truly awful the 4* pity system (or lack thereof) was. I desperately wanted her, but it took me more wishes to get her than some 5*s that I've pulled for.

I would argue that you are not thinking about the star glitter shop in the right way. We reccive a random 4 star character or weapon on average every 8 pulls. Instead you can spend 7 pulls in the starglitter shop to get a specific 4 star character instead. This seems like a deal to me since you need to be spending the pulls to get the 4 star regardless. In the shop not only are you getting what you pay for, but it is even cheaper than the average gacha rate for any 4 star pull let alone the rate for pulling the specific character you want.

Im a new player, started this year haha. I agree, its really hard to get c6 4 stars. I only really think about the 5 stars tbh, i got really lucky with my current cast of characters. But i dont have bennett or fischl (i got lucky and got xingqui, additionally kuki, layla, and yaoyao + others but yk) 😭 hopefully theyre on a banner where i want the 5 star !!

You just reminded me of when I used 90 wishes on Nahida's weapon banner got 0 xiphos and lost the 75% for key or 1000 floating dreams

Adding a third banner is not a good solution, since eventually it will be 4 and 5 etc etc. Some people get their 5 star's from getting wishes from events\dailies\welkin during the character banner, so shortening them gives people less time and takes a bit of magic away from the banners. A solution I see is putting more 4 star's in the shop during rotations, and cheapening older characters down to say 20 instead of 34.

The 4 star rerun problem is so annoying. There was a point in time where I mained Razor and it was during the period of time when he didn’t appear on a banner for so long

I just dont understand why they are so reluctant to release a 5* Xiangling, just a good off-field pyro sub dps So far all the limited 5* Pyros were on field dps/hypercarry, they had their chance with Dehya but they blew it

Yeah they need to think about doing a choose your own banner, just like the five star has two banners give players two options of four star characters to put on the banner.

That’s why I like the permanent banner. The 4* you get is always a surprise, but slowly and surely, you get and build everyone one. I chose to build Collei because I got her c6 without trying. I’ll get a c6 Barbara at some point, even though her limited banners don’t seem to like me much. She’ll just appear randomly one day.

To this day i still dont have Xingqiu and i started during Hu tau/Yelan banner where he was possible. i managed to get 70 pulls off but i didnt get him or any 5star. Im pulling for him on the next time he comes unless im guarantieed (not atm) or im getting him from shop soon

Got c2 Wanderer while pulling for Faruzan consts, she is still c2. Getting specific 4* is a joke, for sure. And, the worst part of it: to get her c6 I'm forced to wait for rerun or for lucky pull from standart or weapon, which is unlikely. Since there are plans on other 5* chars. Thats a life of a new player for ya. :D Started in the end of Nahida/Nilou rerun. Bennett in my dreams, lol.

Been playing for nearly 4 months and I do not have Bennet, Xingqiu, or Sucrose yet. Bennett was in the shop shortly after I started but I didn't have the resources to get him yet. I'm really waiting for either of them to come back around, it sucks seeing 95% of teams and content creators talk about abyss clear and they essentially always include those characters.

really good video jello, as someone who has been playing for like a year and a half I have come across alot of the issues you mentioned such as not getting the characters I want, tbh the only characters I have gotten from the star glitter was fischl and a few others to reach certain breakpoints (such as beidou's C2), I still don't have alot of the OG characters such as Qiqi, diluc, keqing even after probably thousand's of pull's at this point so having a epitomised path would be nice on the character banner's.

0:41 You get a 4* every 10 wishes either a weapon or a character, and you only got a 5* usually every 70 wishes or every 55 whatever the average ends up being. Jello Impact ~ 01.08.2023

I spent over 100 wishes to get Faruzan and I got 1 copy of her😊 And 2 copies of wanderer…

Noelle hasn't been seen for 13 banners, that's almost 9 months! Some people might call that a blessing, but I actually want her c6 so I'd like her to appear soon. You get a noelle for free, and she has appeared in the shop twice since her last rerun, so players could potentially already have c2 without ever seeing her rate up

A this point, a lot of new 4* characters (plus Dehya) seem to be not worth pulling because you need their constellations for them to be any good, and 4* constellations are rarer than 5* ones (at least you WILL eventually get C6 of a 5* character if you pull up to 180*6 times). At least most 5* characters (minus Dehya and arguably Klee) are good at C0.

As a player since version 1.0 I can't even imagine what the game must feel like for newer players. I have all the older 4 stars at c20- c30 (according to my wish tracking app) and as for the newest ones? I still have no kaveh or kirara on my account though I pulled for the 5* on their banners. mika I have only at c2 and I gave up on ever making my eula functional because I really didn't want to accidentally waste pity on any more of hers (or ayaka's or shenhe's) constellations trying to c6 him. as a wanderer simp I threw almost 400 wishes on his banner and still only got c4 faruzan. the difference in trying to get newer 4* compared to the old ones is insane and that is not to even say how much more constellation dependant they are, it's honestly so bad

I was trying to get a chongyun and kirara copy and I only got yoimiya and yun jin. Being a newer f2p player I don't have much primos or chances to get a lot of primos (I don't like exploration) So I rely on 4 stars but its so hard to get good ones especially older ones.

Im playing for like 1+ years, I have yet to get Xingqiu, Im F2p, back then I didnt knew about starglitter shop. I ended up getting Cyno but only got 2 cons for Bennett in Cyno's rerun, funny this is Collei got to c6 and then everyone told be both Cyno and Collei are bad/ had cost characters one more thing Im kaeya main and F2p so I dont have that many starglitters, I always have to take consideration on spending on buy characters from shop, I have to go for Keaya's cons

Let them give out 6 options of 4 stars for a banner but you do the epitomized path for all 3 and then those 3 would all have a higher drop chance for your banner so that you can almost “pick” from a choice of 6 which 3 you’d like to see more frequently when pulling

I personally don't understand why they don't just put more 4-stars into the monthly rotation of buyable characters from the shop. Because sometimes you just need one constellation for a character. I don't get why they won't let you buy more than one however. The path idea is great, but Hoyo is way too greedy for that.

I started right after that Xingqiu banner in March. I'm AR55 and I don't have either Bennett or Xingqiu. I'm going to get Yelan on her next banner before I get a Xingqiu. (He may have been in the shop, but I didn't know any better and spent all my glitter on wishes.) At this point my resentment is such that I don't WANT to play Bennett or XQ and I'm not going to wish for them specifically. 😆

My first time playing genshin was in the beginning of the game. I got fischl, xinqiu and some constellations for both, but I quit before 2021. I came back in october 2021 and didn't stop playing until these days. I have some really good 4 stars, but now I have a lot of redundant characters as well. I'm never excited about any new 4 stars because I know they won't be good or they will be very niche and they will make it harder for me to get the good ones

A reminder, averaging point is 62.5 for a 5 star and somewhere a bit north of that for a rateup 5 star (I wanna say 100-110), the averaging point for 7 pulls (C6 from nothing) of a rateup 4 star is 231. C6 4 stars are actually over twice as expensive statistically than 5 stars, and technically have no hard pity And I say this as a diehard C2 collei main waiting even now for a proper banner: Pull for the 5 star, not the 4 star

Thank you for bringing this to light. During cynos first banner i managed to pull c1 cyno and one jean but never got a kuki (who i really wanted). Meanwhile i got 5 sayus and 3 candaces. Genshin really needs a guaranteed way to give us specific 4 stars on banner.

I been playing on and off since launch and I only have 4 c6 4 stars. Noelle, Yanfei, Razor, and Barbara. I barely got xiangling c1 and I got her c0 from one of the launch events. Xingqiu has been c3 for a year and half. Fischl c5 for a year(I'll roll her c6 eventually anyways, was my thought process). Don't plan on using Mr. "My Daddies" but hes like c2 or something.

I agree as a not so new player (jumped in from 3.4). Getting C6 Xingqiu was not bad as I was pulling Yelan (140 wishes, and I got C6 Beidou too which I love a lot to use), but getting C4 Xiaoling was such a pain as a result of C2 Kazuha (190wishes). I am not F2P but I never go for constellations of any 5* as it is my personal rules to protect my wallet, but what can I do if I got 7-8 Yaoyao before first Xiaoling?

what a solid video, really detailed and highly accurate; great job

Thanks for speaking up about it! I was thinking about this for a long time and it's nice to see you share the same opinion!

I’ve been playing since launch and I have not gotten a single copy of xingqiu from the gacha I literally got Ganyu instead of getting him. The only reason why I have a copy of him and only copy is because of the first lantern right where you got to pick a 4 star character.

The fact that both 5-star banners each patch have the same 4-stars is against us too. Because there's only 3 open slots each patch, the 4-star you want to get has even less of a chance of being featured over time.

That's very true with the 4-stars. With Xingqui as the example, I had that happen when I started playing again. I had only played a little, only part way through Liyue, so I didn't really know or at least remember about the shop when I started playing again earlier this year. I was basically a new player with a Eula. It took me about 2 1/2 months, I don't think it was quite 3, to get Xingqui. I didn't know he was in the shop for a few weeks when I came back or that he wouldn't return again for another six months, so I just didn't have him. I had Mona, who I had lost to early before getting Ayaka, and Barbara from before. I did end up getting Candance, but I ended up just playing Freeze and then Hyperbloom with Mona until I finally got him off-banner.

I accidentally wasted my guaranteed on a Kazuha con trying to get Xiangling cons. Jello is right, as a relatively new player, my 4*s are waaay behind in cons than most players. My Heizou is at c6 while Xingqiu is at c0 lol

that's actually a problem I experienced when I did my FTP challenge: I got Dory before kuki and it was a pain to use since she was the only electro healer I had at the time.

Luckily, the 2 4 stars I wanted to crown (well, one crowned so minus 1), are at C6 already, and I got those cons early. What I need now though are resources. Being a completionist with zero map and zero chests, any new map added is a map appreciated for sure. I'm eagerly anticipating Fontaine. Not because I look forward to new characters, but for the chance to build the ones I already have.

Honnestly, the star glitter shop was also worth it in my case: I started playing right after Bennet's last banner appearance, and getting him was a total game changer for me!

We also get weapons on the character banner which is even worst

Not only do having so many characters make it more difficult to C6 them, but also the screen time they could get to build on their story gets split amongst the others or perhaps Hoyo might just neglect it to focus mainly on new characters. Even after 2 years, the starting characters have rarely gotten any screen time. Example: Kaeya baiting you with a family treasure to lure the Treasure Hoarders and we see he isn't on great terms with Diluc --- showing up at Sumeru for some sort of business and reveals he's a descendant of Khaenra. This took TWO YEARS for us to get this information. Every other character is pretty much the same, and it's a shame considering some characters are extremely important for the player to figure out what truly happened during Khaenra's distruction.

You basically just need to hope they put the 4 stars that support the 5 star character you want on their banner otherwise no shot of C6

I think we need lantern rite type event for all the regions so that you can get 4-stars of other regions than just Liyue.

As always, great video! And great points. I see you hit 5k subs. Congrats and hope you got your sushi :)

Literally the main reason why i love honkai star rail is because it has definitive roles, literally my main issue with genshin is that there's no real definitive classes😭😭😭

Hot take: This is actually a big, big part of why the community thinks the old 4 stars are so much better; because old players got their constellations maxed very early, and every other 4 star takes more and more time to get to that level (and that's before you even take the shop into account). Those opinions then get rooted in people's heads.

You'll eventually get a 4 star that you want even if you don't go hard on a featured banner, and some 1.0 4 stars are in starglitter shop and all Liyue 4 stars are in Lantern Rite, and events frequently give free 4 stars, so 4 stars are still much more f2p friendly than 5 stars

That is actually a thing that I subconsciously was aware but didn't know this was why it was. Every channel recommends Xingqiu, but it took me a while to get him, legit 3 months ago, and I only have him as C0. I made him lvl 70, made him a few artifact, but didn't really had that wow effect I was looking for. He is nice, but there are many other characters I prefer over him, thus I never actually use him. It is interesting to see why many people use him, and it makes sense that in the early game with fewer characters people used him more and realized all the benefits his kit or constellation has that us late players don't notice or need in order to get high damage or fun game play. They also have the 4 stars uneven on the banners, some are more popular than others, it is nice to see others acknowledge it! Great video

First

It's very interesting to see this kind of issue come up for newer players. Probably unheard of for any veteran players to not have C6 of the mentioned characters-probably just a result of being there for the pool of characters being tiny. I'm pretty sure I have like a C78 Noelle or something by now.

I've been playing since 1.3 and I STILL do not have a single copy of Sucrose, and since she's one of the two 1.0 four stars not in the shop, there's zero recourse.

It's just baffling that things like the shop have not been updated (pretty much) since Genshin came out. With how necessary certain 4 stars are for some 5 stars and how important constellations are for some 4*, they really just need to put at least the constellations into the shop for all 4 stars. And I don't mean on a rotation. No, all 4* cons should be available at all times. Other features that need overhauling is the standard banner, with them planning on adding more and more characters to it, an epitomized path needs to be implemented here.

I remember i had to wait for Inazuma so i get Thoma to explore dragon spain, because i didn't have Bennett or Diluc back then.

4* banner and 5* banner by region: it’d be great and have them earn so much money they’d stop counting

In the kokomi-wanderer banner I made about 120-130 wishes and I got like 9 Faruzan and 2-3 Yanfeis but no Rosaria. And I wanted Rosaria because I didn't have her and now I gotta wait for her rerun...

4 stars should have that optimized path option. Just like how the weapon banner has that after enough polls that aren't what you want, you are guaranteed to get the one you choose. This is one way I think they can make Four stars free to play frendly for a forever growing roster.

The problem is, to resolve the character bloat as the game is getting older they added the 2nd event banner with a different 5*. However both banners have the exact same 4*s. So you're often times stuck waiting longer for your 4*s than your 5*s, which doesn't make sense.

Everyone: Please add the epitomized path to 4 stars on both weapon and character banner, sometimes we need to spend over 200 wishes for a single 4 star Hoyo: Nuh uh it 1/30 trust me AR60 (2.6 I think), never got Xiangling from wishing, spent 210 wishes early on as a Ningguang main and never got a constellation, missing almost all the 4 stars during Sumeru (I don't even have Candace and its been almost a year already)

from some unconfirmed leaks i saw that there is a possibility we will get a triple banner schedule after 6 months which kinda helps a liiiiitle bit with wishing for 4 stars cuz now u are very likely u'll want at least one of the 3 so u won't feel that bad for wishing for a 4 star as much as now but still it's a pretty big problem

Fascinating stuff, great vid!

I've pulled on every banner Candace has been on (although its only like 2) and i haven't gotten a single one and she's the only 4 star i dont have 😭

Good video!! I recently got Lisa's C2 when I was wishing for Klee's C6 (which I also got). I'm having a blast playing Eula (C0)! I found a potential way to give her a boost in strength using one of the most hated characters in the game, Barbara.

GOD IVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 2 YEARS AS A RAIDEN MAIN AND I DONT HAVE A SINGKE BENNETT OR SARA OR MONA HOW TF AM I SIPPOSED TO SHOWCASE GOD PLS SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM THIS AGONY

the amount of work I had to put into my candace to get regular 100K E's was insane.

This is so true tho, it took me 75 pulls to get ONE Faruzan, and I got 2 Yanfei and 1 Rosaria, and lost 50/50 to Tighnari (not complaining I love him) in the process. It's ridiculous.
