    Not actually a bad weapon banner but Staff of Homa + Wolf’s Gravestone is the banner that sucked over $2000 out of Tectone, began his long downward spiral into what he’s become today, and is probably the reason we have Epitomized Path as a mechanic today. That deserves an honorable mention in my books.

    The worst weapon banner is one where you really want one weapon, but absolutely don't want the other weapon. A banner with 2 bad weapons will get skipped anyways, but players are a lot more likely to waste their primos on a weapon banner with one weapon that they want and end up with something they didn't want.

      So it unlikely to get completely shafted on a weapon banner with 2 good weapons. And if you do get a standard banner weapon, then the next weapon is guaranteed to be one of the rate up weapons which can be saved for a weapon banner with 2 weapons you want.

    1:49 I personally LOVE the idea of the bell. if they ever make a hp main DPS claymore, it would be amazing. All you need is a shielder in your team and you get a 24% dmg increase. In the passive, it doesn't say you have to be protected by the weapon's shield, it says you have to be protected by A shield. If you have Layla or Zhongli, you pretty much have 24% increased dmg all the time

      It's gotten BOTH better and worse. Better because you are less likely to get a C10 Qiqi, and worse because you are less likely to get the character or weapon you actually want. Your chances before Dehya were 1/16 from an already pitiful 0.6%. Now they are 1/17.
      Example: Some day 1 players still don't have a Jean, or a Keqing yet they have a C5 Diluc or an R3 Aquila Favonia.

    It's funny how Amos bow is still considered okay because it is a "respectable choice on a viable character", while Summit Shaper is hated on even though it's one of the best options for Ayaka in freeze teams (and on Kaeya). It's also good on Keqing. I would not recommend pulling it on purpose, but if you lose your 50/50 to Summit Shaper you still have a good weapon and it does not deserve the hate it receives.

      And summit shaper requires a shield character (and replacing a sub dps for a shielder is a dmg loss)

      It’s also really solid on Tighnari since he does the Wreath Arrows mostly. Better options exist, sure, but it’s a 608 weapon with an attack sands worth of attack % and can add some nutty amounts of bonus damage.

      @Seven7swords Pƙed rokem +18

      On it's own, Summit Shaper is decent. But when you remember Jade Cutter and Mist Splitter exist, Summit Shaper is just outclass. Crit is far more valuable then Atk%. The Battle pass sword, Black Sword I think? Yeah, even that sword is better than Summit Shaper in most situations. The problem with Summit Shaper is that it's so average. Ayaka can use the Inazuma craftable sword that gives Atk% and a passive that ensures she can burst every rotation. Shaper requiring a shield character...in a freeze team....is a DPS loss. The Inazuma weapon allows you to reduce your ER and build a more offensive team.

    I feel like each weapon has a use for them for certain characters while having certain roles. The all around Favonius Weapons for example can be used by anyone, but the purpose of them is to collect more particles to get our bursts faster and they’re mainly used by support characters. Then u have certain weapons like the Memory of Dust and the Unforged where both get boosts from having Sheilds and because of that more specific characters would have more use out of them due to certain situations like Ningguang who can use Shards from her attacks for shield and Xinyan who always had a shield thanks to her skill.
    Of course there’ll always be good weapons and bad weapons and even weapons that would be like why would we even use them like the Bell. At the same time though they all can be used but for certain roles they can pitch in. It’s just that the good ones would be used more as those are either more flexible to use or they could be used for only a few characters but the reward from those weapons can be great not to miss out

    So fun story about a stupid player... (Me)
    I started playing as a Childe main... which mostly meant ignoring the weapon banner, since he didn't have a signature weapon for bloody years. When he finally did get one, it released alongside the memory of dust.
    Since I'd never interacted with the weapon banner before, I didn't fully understand the invocation system... I thought the new weapon was set up for the pity by default. So I wasn't overly crushed when I pulled the Memory of Dust the first time... or the second time. Okay! Now the third time I'm guaranteed to get the Polar star! I pulled another five-star weapon and... a third memory of dust.
    Realizing my mistake and cursing my stupidity, I properly set the invocation this time... and kept rolling due to the sunken cost fallacy. Fourth 5-star weapon was Memory of dust...... Fifth 5-star weapon was memory of dust... Finally, after 6 5-star weapons, I got invocation to work properly and got my one copy of Polar Star.
    To this day that R5 memory of dust sits in my account, laughing at me. At least Ningguang is a beast now.

    It's weird that they kept putting Amos on weapon banners even after it was put on wanderlust, which is where I got it. Tighnari can make pretty good use of it if you have one lying around, and it can work as a statstick for Fischl. Also Rust is good if you play Yoimiya or Tartaglia, though you need at least R4 for Yoimiya to make better use out of it than an R5 Slingshot.

Granted, it took me a whole 6 months to actually find a character to use Polar Star on, and even now I'm just using it on Ganyu, which isn't ideal, but at least I'm still using it.

    I always weigh if both weapons have a use on my account. With that in mind, the Hunters Path/Vortex Vanquisher banner was good for me because I mainly use bow units and wanted HP for my Tighnari and I also needed a weapon for Xiao and VV is like his third best in slot after JWS and Homa, neither of which I have, or had a chance to get since pulling Xiao in June 2022. Also new units make older weapons more viable. Skyward Atlas is far better on Wanderer than the usual top dog of the Widsith due to him not being able to take advantage of the EM buff and its buffs overall down time. I got one on my F2P account gave it to him for an upgrade and gave the Widsith to Yanfei who makes much better use of it.

    a lot of weapon banners suffer because of A: better (and cheaper) choices, and/or B: the weapon type in general is not great.
    Claymores and most catalysts fall under B where going for damage and no utility generally results in not that great of an output, and going for more weird and non hyperdps focused ends up being better (mainly how overload burgeon razor does better than razor and hyper bloom eula does better than main phys dps eula). Catalysts are also a part of the B class, majority of dps catalysts are very average if built with damage in mind, swap them to be more supportive rolls and suddenly they become great (sucrose for example, or kokomi). The swords bows and spears are all big representatives of "i have cheap options that perform either better than 5* or the dps increase is so small that there is no need to change". stringless and favonius being probably easiest example, they all have also decent craftable varients.

    Claiming to not like steak and then admitting to liking it well done is like claiming to not like fried chicken and then admitting to never seasoning it before frying.
    Like yea, you can eat it that way, but there's probably a reason that everyone that likes it as their favorite dish is telling you otherwise.
    'Nough said, no long diatribe needed.
    But for me, variety is a must, steak, chicken, pork, if I eat any one type of meat too often, then it goes stall for me. Ate burgers most every day in college and I swore often them for nearly two years after.

    the bell was useful in early game to me. Diluc was the first character I ever pulled (day one, first ten set, those free wshes yada yada, my luck is weird and I am SUPER greatfull for it), before I even got kaeya and lisa from the temples. And diluc, even at lv 90 and properly geared, is so squishy he might as well be sold by kelly toys. BUT I did not die often *because of the bell*. Do I recommend the bell for late game? Nope. But if you have a squishy main and you wanna protect his sad little bruce kinnie ass while he is hard carrying you though early game- it worked for me, that's all I'm saying. The moment I switched to the butcher knife forgeable was the moment I needed to get myself the nre bag.
