Tbf a lot of weapon banners make you sad

Personally this weapon banner makes me very happy. Never before have I had less reason to consider spending any pulls there, saving them for something better.

Zajef: here are the pros and cons for different players Comments: why does he hate me personally

Just got Wanderer and my 2 remaining Faruzan constellations. Meta is temporary, fandango is eternal.

I know I won't roll on these banners for sure, but it's still so entertaining to watch this video because you are very well-spoken, and it's just nice to hear you talk about the characters

Anyone else notice the unreleased spear in Cyno's story quest cut scene? The same series as Xiphos

"If you really really like Baizhu and think his weapon is too pretty to skip... find god" 🤣 dying over here, that was great. Too true. I love Baizhu and I'm very happy with him on the teams I have him on, and he's very fun for co-op because he's practically the only healer who can enable co-op Furina hyperbloom teams, but I'm never getting his weapon, no way 😅 maybe constellations, but not the weapon, that's for sure

Editor cooked with this one.

You know what made me sad.. 110 pulls but zero faruzans..

At least Layla its a complete and viable character at C0 and/or without being a nerfed version of previous characters, something the other Sumeru 4 stars can't say (except Yaoyao and maybe Collei). Her main problem is there are no decent swords with HP substat if you want to use her as a pure shieldbot. Anyway, both banner are ez skip for me.

Baizhu's weapon makes me sad, it's only usable on him, other's can't even utilise it's passive.

this 2nd phase weapon banner is certainly a weapon banner with weapons on it

14:36 yep, this team, a few abysses ago ended up hitting one of the best speedrun times for 4 star only teams. Only defeated by gaming melt ofcource

These are some of the weapon banners of all times

Baizhu is an amazing luxury item though: is he a must have? No. Does he feel really good to have and play? Absolutely.

I already got wanderer, c6 faru and baizhu so it feels good to completely skip these banners

C1 Wanderer haver here (with R3 Lost Prayers), I have never actively used wanderer in abyss HOWEVER to me he is the best character for anything that doesn't include abyss 12: -His autotracking attacks+ range + low cooldown on his fly makes him insanely strong to navigate the open world and kill enemies that if you have a melee character they might be a pain to reach or you get stuck on small edges - My exploration team is Wanderer Fischl Kazuha Kokomi, (Kokomi E, Fischl E, Kazuha 2xE with sac sword and the whole camp is dead or if elite enemies you finish with wanderer) The anemo resonance helps even further with speed between camps and puzzles. When I put Wanderer out of my team when trying new characters it feels sooo slow and clunky, I have tried an crazy amount of comps and the only one coming close is a C1 xianyun with neuvilette and kazuha. I want to say that I am a 1.0 player that have been clearing 36 stars since 1.x, some people would consider me a metaslave but i still consider him a top 3 dps for non endgame player that don't need to rush into the abyss12 for how confortable he is to play in ANY not abyss 12 content. and for people like me who can easily clear 36 stars with multiple different teams already, he is just an insanely valuable in terms of confort pull for the overworld content. Great video, i totally agree that if your only goal is to clear abyss you might wanna consider other options especially if you are reaching just the AR 55/56/57 and you don't have many characters yet.

Few tips for Wanderer: When you get hit in the air with you can dash to avoid the long ass falling animation If you want to play him with Furina you can go double healing bonus or 4 maiden's beloved on your Bennett While exploring you can press the dash without pressing the forward button when on a slope to keep going fast

Its quite sad that the Only day that Fav sword that has been missing from weapon banners for a pretty long time appears in a pretty mediocre 5* weapon line up. Mr. Zacheff, you are getting a Fav sword before Natlan, im not Coping 👀👀👀

All weapon banners make me sad. Every single one.

Yesterday I did a lot of wishing (I've been saving for like 2 or 3 months). I wanted Wanderer (I didn't have him, planned to go for c0-c2) and c6 Faruzan (had her at c0). After cirka 240 wishes I had c1 Wanderer (and 1 Qiqi) and c4 Faruzan. Let's just say I was pretty devastated. I didn't care much about Wanderers const, but I REALLY wanted c6 Faruzan. I swiped for two more ten pulls. The first one got me another Qiqi, but the second one got me two Faruzans. Those two Faruzans in a single ten-pull felt like a gift from god. So yeah, trying to c6 a 4 star sucks.

Baizhu was a Godsend for me when I pulled him along with Furina. Honestly without him me pulling Furina would have been pointless. He's that good. This is as someone who has been playing since 1.0 but still doesn't have Jean (no I didn't pull on that scam of a banner they ran last patch). Baizhu is quite good. If you can spare the primos I'd grab him. Big QoL unit.

Love the vid 👍

9:50 According to wiki (I've been reading about RES and a few other mechanics some time ago), you've got one thing wrong about the res. Here's basically what wiki says: When RES is positive+, the RES SHRED is 100% effective. When RES is at 0 or negative-, RSE SHRED is only 50% effective. Examples: If enemy has 60% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at 20% RES. If enemy has 0% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at at at -20%, because the 40% RES SHRED is halved, because RES was already at 0% If enemy has 20% RES and you have 40% RES SHRED, it puts enemy at -10%, because it takes the 20% RES SHRED to put RES at 0% and the remaining 20% RES SHRED is halved to 10% and puts RES at -10% I really want some feedback about this, because I've read this on wiki, so I might have missunderstood this, or the wiki itself might be wrong Also, if what I wrote is true, then stacking RES SHRED is even less effective than you said

This weapon banner is great! I did one pull and got fav :D

moldy donut makin a return

I absolutely love Baizhu, having a team-wide heal with his skill is so nice. I'm never afraid of dying in the abyss when I have him, everything is so easy and comfy + he has a cute snake! :D

I was lucky I got my last Layla constellation before reaching pity. She might not be awesome but I love her and knowing she'll be even more useful is really good.

I might roll for Baizhu since I got his weapon when he first came out when I was trying to get Nahida's weapon. I'm going to wait to see which characters are on the next patch to make my decision.

Wanderer will fix ur overworld, his flying is still unmatched. He is the only reson i even attempt Sumeru desert.

Decided to throw a 10-pull at Baizhu's banner to see if I could get a Faruzan or Layla con and Baizhu decided to come home instead. Not even upset. Happy to have him on my account and now I can play the Neuv, Furina, Kazuha, Baizhu team. And thanks for the banner review, Zajef.

Good luck to everyone pulling on these banners 👍 Big thanks to Zajef and the editing team for these videos

Beido is also good for using Mika with Eula and Raiden. Damage resistance makes up for meh healing.

This man says the same thing about every weapon banner

The Range Gayge joke by the editor was so good.

The more people who doesn’t pull for Wanderer, the stronger my Wanderer will be 💪✨

OF COURSE they had to put fav sword on this banner, watch the next fav sword be next year with the donut & eula's weapon 🥲

I’m actually fine w risking to win my 50/50 on Baizhu. All I need is 2 more Faruzans. But come on, why can’t Beidou leave me alone 😢 edit: so yea i finally got c6 faru w only a few pulls left for a 5 star 🥳

i gambled hard on this one. had 1 Pity after Kazuha Banner as F2P and i absolutly love Faruzan Designe and Beidou so i just had to go for those pulled till 71 no 5 Star good. Sadly only 2 Faruzan Copys and 1 Beidou BUT 5 Leyla... man this game.

as soon as i get c6 faruzan i'll go for wanderer but rn i want baizhu

Your Beidous crown is telling ;) if you're more of a gamer, try taser! it will take a bit to understand how much damage that team is actually doing! yaoyao instead of Xingqiu works as well!!

I pulled wanderer because I love his playstyle and the main issue with him was 100% the amount of investment needed for him to feel strong (which luckily wasn't an issue for me) and also the lack of C6 faruzan (which I now have) but now that I got his c2 and I have triple crowned wanderer, he feels so strong and against maagu kenki I clear in 20s

watching this as someone whos pulling for wanderer no matter what and has c2 baizhu not planing 2 get more cons like ah yes.... this will help me choose immensely

18:07 yao yao's radishes also have aoe in aoe situations. And in those situations, you usually play kazuha. So you end up getting better dedro than baizhu's better single target app

You should've talked about Bennett and Furina with Wanderer more. It feels like Faruzan is presented as his only buffer, but that is not the case because Wanderer has many teams cycling between using one, two, or even all three in a team.

one buff to wanderer zajef forgot to cover here is that the fontaine reputation glider looks absolutely sick on him

while baizhu isnt amazing, he is super comfy for raiden hyperbloom teams. he is very comfy and performs very well with nahida

I can also relate to not getting Fav swords too 😭. For years I only had one R3 Fav sword and recently I got another Fav sword while pulling for Arlecchino's scythe. Now I can't decide if I should R4 it or level it up for another character to use.

I’m happy idk what u talking about (I have baizhu and wriothesley so both 5⭐️ r good and I’m hoping for sac and fav!) 😊

Playing Wanderer's trial makes me go "holy attack speed batman" like they make him feel crazy fun to play

I'll add to Baizhu C1 - Double Skilling pretty much heals the entire team to full, which in turn makes Furina Teams even nicer.

I already have wanderer and c6 faruzan so I'm already past the pain of playing him without. I pulled on weapon banner and got jadefall in the first 10 pull. 80 pulls later I got the bell. I was so relieved that hoyo didn't force me to pull a 3rd weapon as I only had around 1800 gems left. Hoyo really need to change how weapon banners work. My advice: don't play wanderer without c6 faruzan vs floor 12 unless you have a lot of patience :)

about scara's passive and c4 i actually find all of them useful the hydro increase the duration which translate to more dmg (especially with c6) the electro with faruzan makes it possible to ult twice in a rotation even with zero er (can be clanky if you don't get the hydro one with it) cryo is too op id say the least useful one is the atk from pyro but i play scara in a faru furina mika team so it kinda makes up for the lack of atk buffers

I like using Beidou with Neuvillette. I also have Furina and Jean in that same team. Beidou's energy requirements are pretty massive though

heck yeah I'm early (baby carrots > normal carrots)

never regretted wishing for baizhu

I really want wanderers weapon and been waiting for his rerun but then when the news came up Ig widsith it is 😂😂😂

I saw how awful the weapons were gonna be on this banner (jade/bell) and told myself "man they're gonna run fav sword on this banner just to mess with zajef" and there you go, at least you can look at fav as the entire reason to pull on the weapon banner but at the end of the day chasing 4*s is asking for trouble

Faruzan hates me and I wanna hate her back but I can't Still on C1 after 100+ pulls when she was on banner... which does include one free one from an event 😭 Guess I'll continue to use my Wanderer overworld team without her... Edit: Also, regardless of what Zajef says, Wanderer is my favourite unit of all, especially his playstyle. I run him without a shielder and Faruzan and it goes fine, even in abyss, and his attack sounds are just so statisfying to me. Also floating around as you see Guoba kill enemies like the Emperor screaming "Do it" to Anakin is just one of my favourite things ever.

Got lucky with C2 Wanderer and C6 Faruzan! Rolled on weapon banner...got 2 donuts. Pain.

ive used double anemo dps for a year straight not even coppelia, coppelius, or wenut has stopped me

Went for him last time he was around, made me hate chest hunting and exploring less

As a Heizou main and Wanderer haver, C6 Faruzan is SO IMPORTANT. She's a completely different character from C0-C5. My Heizou's damage is completely different with her.

Definitely a well rounded banner, everything except the five star weapons is fine but not amazing, I am just saving for clorinde because I have baizhu and xiao + xianyun and my faruzan and beidou are c6

I got to 73 pity on Arle Banner for her C1 and couldn’t get any more wishes Sadge, this banner makes me sad too

i pulled for furina's weapon back in the days and got the green donut but at least it's good on neuvillette

Beidou is really underated. She is super cracked against 2-3 targets. Also her with xinqui make arlechino feel invincible

Did a random 10 pull and got wandy weapon i am so fucking lucky

just got my 2nd donut while wishing for the bell, life is pain😞

~40 into pity and im at c5 faruzan....how hard do I want to stir the pot and fk my clorinde chances

I have an R1 Baizhu donut from getting Furina's sig and **2** Wanderer bells from getting Itto's sig this weapon banner makes me so angry

I need Baizhu because I can fit him in a lot of my teams AND there's Faruzan too which I need her cons so badly. But Clorinde hhhhhh. Looks like I'll just have to wait for his Chronicle Banner 😔

I skipped since 3. Whatever (when Kaeya skin came out) so I’m glad I can still watch this without spoiling what happens in the story.

He's my favourite character, so i wished. And im happy i will make him the best.

there's a question i've been wondering for a while about Layla. If you want to have the strongest shield possible, is 2pc 2pc hp sets better or 4pc tenacity? I'm just not sure what 30% shield strength really translates to, and i don't think she can keep the tenacity buff up 100% of the time anyway.

Bet if the weapon banner feature xiangling, Bennet and Xinque as special lineup, then the weapon banner will make you Happy 😊

xianyun was created so that faruzan won't come only on wanderer's banner.change my mind

Should I pull for Baizhu if I plan on getting Furina? Dunno if I'll be able to get Furina, but have a pretty hefty amount of content to do. I have Nahida Kuki, Ayato, Neuvillette, Yoimiya and the main 4-stars with their constellations

Cursed by the donut. First kokomi and now baizhu

Perfect banner for the wuthering wave release 😅

26:03 i use her with him every time coppelia of coppelius is around ( the 250% effectiveness is nice) Hes just so broken that giving him the 3rd stack is justification enough for me. Zhonli is better though, i just dont have him

question, i want to use my cyno, i feel however that he's significally hard to use in multiwave content because of the dendro application, i have nahida, yaoyao, dendro mc, tighnari and kahve, should i get baizu given that i have enough primos and i don really plan on getting anyone else in a while?

heres to hoping natlan has a 5 star pyro shielder

I use beidou in koko x furina tazer team especially on cases where my koko keeps getting interrupted but on other cases i just settle for fischl :>

I already have c0 baizhu and wanderer, and a c4 faruzan, I am debating risking another wanderer to try and get c6 faruzan

i have him and faruzan c5 but i can’t pull cause i have guaranteed and saving for furina 😔 in another rerun i guess

pretty bad, i just spend around 70 pull just to try to get one copy of faruzan and didnt get at all. Just need one more copy to c6. And i have both of the 5star of them. this banner is nightmare.

the worst thing about baizhu's weapon is that a significantly restricted sign weapon like arle's is at worst a stat stick better than many 4*, but with baizhu's having HP stat and passive that absolutely NO ONE can utilise at any point, its just worst than TTDS. man, at this point Im gettin c6 wanderer before his sign.

The Fav Sword is Elusive.

Im going for Wanderer so I can have him plus C1 Cloud Retainer wombo combo for overworld.

i got wanderer through sheer pure luck (or maybe bad luck which ever you wanna identify it) no pitty 4 free pull aiming for 1 copy of gouro back then then he pops out so here i am tyring to make him work in abyss so farm not succeeding

"Beidou is not one of the premium four-stars for banners" Ok hear me out but as soon as she gets a skin guaranteed premium choice S++ get

Is clorinde's release techincally a buff to baizhu? She wants to be run in dendro teams and she converts healing to BoL, yet she racks BoL rlly fast through the pistolet shots. Asking to see if anyone knows the answer to if i should pull baizhu for clorinde (i have c6 yaoyao.)

I really don't understand why Zajef keeps insisting on everyone playing Wanderer with a shield. Of course I can't argue against his experience with it, but I've played Wanderer/Faruzan/Yun Yin/Bennett since his release even though I have Zhongli (Edit: this team also makes great use of Faruzans C2, since both Yun Yins and Bennetts buffs only last 12 sec., making you want to maximise uptime). It isn't a big deal for everyone. Same with C6 Faruzan. I understand that she becomes a better character with it, but I still only have her C5 and prefer her with Wanderer over other options I have (e.g. Furina/Jean/Bennett). Since both Yun Yin and Bennett both like Favonius, you can easily play a double or triple Fav team, and as long as you pieces have around 10% Er on average, you wont face any energy issues (that was longer than intended)

tbh, I feel Wanderer's constellations are overall quite underwhelming, BUT his C6 is among the best 5* C6 in the game. The additional NAs have ICD of their own; for reactions it doesn't matter much for Wanderer as that's not his main playstyle, but for SHIELD SHREDDING it's INSANE. Quite a few enemies have fat shields, and his C6 destroys those without having to swap out for another character and fuck up your rotation. The additional damage instances counting as NAs also make Echoes a better set, and from my experience, even with high ping it becomes quite more consistent. It activates his talent's special aerial dash more frequently too, and with C1's attack speed and damage bonus, the DPS is very notable. Lastly, it also increases the duration of his flying state as you attack for 2 more seconds, which is surprisingly quite a lot with how fast he attacks - it's the same amount as the Hydro buff from his ascension passive, so he can remain airborne for a total of 14 seconds if he also has it. Faruzan's buff lasts throughout the entire duration of his buffed state even then, and so does his signature weapon's passive.

25:26 is this only for one hit? And is it a base multiplier like the song of days past set? Cuz its a 2k base multiplier at 40k hp. Which is good if it isnt a single hit

Personally, I prefer playing Wanderer without a defensive utility character than character like Nueve. I can live with getting knocked around occasionally because he doesn't lose his full window.

Baizhu’s c2 is to auto proc a Draconic stack for my Neuvillette lol

lost my 50/50 on baizhu (first one in quite a while tbf) to my first diluc... at least i have guarenteed clorinde right?

i got R5 on both weapons today.. when i only wanted scara weapon lol (was at R2 already)
