  • Some mistakes are pretty minor, like forgetting to spend your resin for the day, or doing your dailies. Some mistakes are catastrophic like "building pity".

    • @F1ll1nTh3Blanks
      @F1ll1nTh3Blanks Před rokem +42

      The reason why people don't want to allow their resin to cap is because it's a finite resource which creates a feedback loop, if you don't use it, you don't get more and if you don't get more all your other resources that you need to fully beat the game, and build more characters that you play the game for, dwindle.
      Other than that, yes, I agree.

    • @azuarc
      @azuarc Před rokem +73

      When the game launched, the cap wasn't 160. It was 120. I started logging in obsessively, checking my resin more or less around the clock, which established a very unhealthy relationship with the game.
      It's true there's 180 resin per day, and so you'll "lose" 1/9 of it if you let yourself cap, but for most people that's a small price to pay for a little bit of sanity.

      I tried to simultaneously build pity and get Diona when she first came out since I needed that shield, and didnt care for childe since he was considered a whale's 5star. I failed to get diona, and got childe after 40 pulls (which is where I said I will stopnin advance to be "safe", and it was the ONLY time I ever got a 5star before hard pity. Needless to say Im still bitter about that.
      Fortunately HSR is being much much nicer to me. I already got 4 5stars (though one is himeko lol), and I got 2 of them after just 30-something pulls, and 2 at around 70. That and I won the 50/50 both times on event banner.

      That's not really a loss tho if it's that low, also you even lost the 50-50 which is good cuz free guarantee for the next char.
      Building pity only really hurts if you accidentally waste a guarantee on 5* you don't want, or if you win 50-50 early but quite late (like >40-50 pity) on a 5* you don't want.
      I never consider it a loss if you lose your 50-50 while building pity.

    Wasting fragiles definitely hits home. I spent way too many fragiles on the Unreconciled Stars event (thank the archons they changed it so we don't have to spend resin for event rewards) because I really wanted Fischl and was extremely impatient (and I was new so didn't really understand how stuff works)... And then right when the event ended, I pulled Fischl C1 on standard.

    I think there's a difference between building pity and trying to snipe a four star. Building Pity happens because of wishing addiction, sniping a four star is just that, trying to get a four star, but it can still burn you just as much as building pity can.

    Building pity is not something you should plan to do but it may be something you realize you have done afterwards. But that doesn't mean you cannot pull on banners of 5-stars you don't plan to get, just make sure you're ok with every potential outcome.
    I was pulling on Miko's banner for Layla and I successfully got Layla and no 5-star. But if I got Miko I'd be happy because I don't have her, and if I lost 50:50 I'd be happy because I'd have next 5-star guaranteed after early 5-star. And if I got nothing after 30 pulls I allocated to it, I'd have built my pity. That's a win-win-win-win scenario.

    • @browniesansnoix
      @browniesansnoix Před rokem +10

      I totally agree! I believe building pity is a bad thing, but if you're okay with the worst possible outcome, then you should do it.
      On my alt on which I have Yae and Yoimiya, and I'm saving for Raiden, I pulled a tiny bit on every banner this patch : Yoimiya, Yae and their weapons. I was extremely lucky that I got only the 4 stars that I wanted, Rust, Stringless and Heizou. But in the end I was a little disappointed that I didn't get punished for doing it because I wouldn't have minded any of the 5 stars... Especially C1 Yae... I guess it always happens this way when you're in a win-win scenario (:

      I am kinda in a cursed situation. The characters i needed are ayaka and kokomi. But the reason I am wishing is that I want to lose a 50/50 so that then I can build up my primogems. Problem is that I am now in a 3 50/50 win streak. Got yae miko, Raiden and now Alhaitham. Miko and Alhaitham are just sitting doing nothing while I replaced fishcl with raiden. I am doing it not for build pity but for me to lose a 50/50 so that I can guarantee my next 5 star is the one I want. Also WHERE IS AYAKA'S RERUN???

      @kasuha Před rokem +3

      @@foxfm1987ult My suggestion is, stop trying to lose 50:50 and instead save your primogems for that. Meaning collect some 28k primogems, that way you could pull for the character you want and if you lose 50:50 on it, you will still have enough to keep going and get it as guarantee. And if you win the 50:50, then you'll be left with primogems you can use to start building another such pile for next character you'll want.

    I built pity when I was trying to get constellations for Xingqiu on Eula’s first banner. I was at 20 or so pity, got my last five stars super early and just got Zhongli, so I thought there was no way in hell that I’d get Eula. At the time I also wanted Klee and read leaks that she’d get a rerun. I ended up getting Eula at 28 pity. It worked out though since I would’ve gotten Klee as the alternative which now I know is the worst thing ever, so I failed successfully. And got a copy of Xingqiu after I got Eula so even bigger bonus.

I got Yae Miko at 37 pulls. Oh, and the four star I got right after, pulling singles out of frustration because "well now I have her, it can't get worse"? Thoma. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

      Building pity isn't an issue. The issue is doing it while you have a guarantee. 50-50 will still be 50-50. Just because you won accidentally in a banner of a character you didn't want it doesn't mean you would've won that same roll in the banner of the character you did want.

    For me, accidentally getting a 5-star character (standard or otherwise) within the first 20 pulls is really good. It's a chance to get the 4* characters/constellations that you want. Overall it's still a lot of value. Pulling beyond 20 is just slowly making yourself into a joke with the excuse of "building pity".

      The funny thing is that the perception toward characters is as skewed as the perception about what is a good (not great) artifact, in the community. Building Qiqi isn't a mistake as long as it doesn't prevent you from reaching your goals in Genshin. If you aim at clearing the Abyss and have build characters that can reliably do so, then you cannot make a mistake by building another character, by definition.

    Ok so about building pity: i set a rule for myself, if i REALLY want one or two of the 4* on the banner, but i don’t want a 5*, i just do 1 ten pull (only if i am below 20 pity already and don’t have 100%). That way you can possibly get a 4* that you want and don’t get a 5*. And even if you get it, you did only 1 ten pull, it’s a win/win situation actually. If i don’t get what i want in that 10 pull, i just stop and wait for the 5* that i actually want. I got Heizou today, 0 pity, 1 ten pull and he is finally home, i also want Layla, but i would rather wait for her rerun.

    Building pity was actually not a bad strategy at all during the 1.x times, when you had banners with Sucrose+Xiangling+XQ. Every ten pull was basically a winner and they were arguably more valuable in the long run than the 5 five stars that were on it. Now, the banners are so polluted with garbage (Thoma, Sayu, Heizou, Dori, Sara, Collei, Layla...and the list will only get longer) that it is barely worth the risk at all.

      Sara has her niche if you get her to c6, and now burgeon thoma also works well as a niche although his cons doesn't do much. Sayu is super valuable for the first copy since she's god-tier for exploration but her cons are useless. As for the rest though, yeah. Heizou/Dori/Collei/Layla/Candace/etc just aren't too useful. You can make use of them if you like them, but meta-wise they don't offer anything unique and there are chars better than them for the same role.
      Personally I'd rather have a banner with all 4* that I already have c6 on, so I get more starglitter refunds. Much better than getting cons on 4* I will never build and use.

Once they get to the endgame, then building supports become the main priority because the game is called SUPPORT IMPACT for a reason lol

    This is all wonderful advice. Especially the artifact stuff. You can definitely heighten your standards to ridiculous crit roles and such... after you have decent pieces already. And sometimes pieces that look bad end up rolling crit 4 times... If I had to add one thing to this- it's for players to account for five star artifacts with four substats at level 0. It might only have one good substat- but again it has an extra roll because it started at four which increases your chances of it being the substat you want. That sort of piece deserves more recognition than some people give them.

    It's just so painful having to keep on wishing through a lost 50/50 to the next pity for a character you really want, when you've got all the 4-stars on the banner to C6. Every 5 glitter feels like a slap in the face, "here, you've wasted 10 wishes, so we'll give you one of the next 10 you'll be wasting for free". The pitiful number of characters we get in the store for glitter means they're usually the exact same ones on the banner that was giving us the glitter in the first place, and even when they're not, the limit to one per month means it could take 3 WHOLE YEARS to get a character we never have the luck to get on banners to C6.
    The only reason I'm not way more salty about this, is because my lost 50/50 wishing for Yelan was Jean, instead of yet another constellation for the 3 5-stars from 50/50s I already have, of whom Mona is the only one I use.

    A lot of these mistakes remind me of the early days. I remember my friends telling me not to use my fragile resin, but I barely listened. I wanted my characters to be strong as fast as possible, no matter if I couldn't get 5-star artifacts. I didn't get the difference between 4 star and 5 star so I thought "But it's a bonus regardless" - which was so stupid. I mean, my friend and I did have an easier time in the overworld and we always remember that, but when I got to AR45 and was farming for Kazuha's release I really could've needed those :/
    I also did the pity thing as a new player and instantly learned my lesson as I got Klee early pity while I was saving for Kazuha. I remember going "Just three wishes" because I hadn't wished on a limited banner since I started the game. I could've gotten Kazuha early :') I was completely f2p back then with no wekin or BP and remember grinding crazily. I did every single thing you could do in Mond and Liyue. It was madness and I was still on 50/50, which was even worse. I was lucky I had barely done much side quests AND won 50/50 or I would've had waited a freakin year - which is also something I think many people don't consider. If you're lucky your fave is back in a few months, but with the pool growing bigger and bigger reruns recently easily take up to a year or even longer for some. Don't risk it. Right afterwards I learned not to wish any longer if I ain't okay with the 5-star. I didn't want Cyno so I sadly still have no Candace. As a Childe main I wanted cons but got Nahida and am saving for another character. I would be happy to still get his con, but now my pity is so high that I'm probs giving up on Layla and Faruzan on Scara's banner too. It's just not worth it T T I have lost all my 50/50s since freaking 9 months so I thought to myself "I'll lose 50/50 AND get the 4-stars and everything goes according to plan" but then right when you think that your curse is suddenly lifted. :') I DID lose and wouldn't have gotten Cyno, but who could know

    I often build pity and I usually dont mind the 5 stars. Also, my luck is so poor in getting early 5 stars, I think the frequency is like once every year.

    I honestly don’t like using the strong boxes because I get screwed over every time and I’m a Day 1 player. I just stick to then domains and that’s where I get my good ones

    Not even going to lie
    This same shit happened to me. Wanted to save for Raiden. But just wanted a single Layla and Yae Miko suddenly appeared.
    I won’t complain too much though as I did get her at 10 pity

    Rules for artifact farming and leveling
    Learn what "bad" and "good" substats are for each character. This is the MOST IMPORTANT THING for artifact farming. Def scaling characters want otherwise worthless Def artifacts. Standard dps characters want atk% crit rate and crit damage. If the character does reactions as their main source of damage (specifically it is the reaction damage proc itself when their damage comes from) they want EM. If they're a burst support or most healers, you want fairly high ER.
    If an artifact has only 1 good stat, too risky. Fodder it or give to strongbox. If it has 2 good substats, your call, it's 50/50, level it to 4 and see if the 4th substat is good. If it has 3 good substats, level it. Even with a bad 4th stat roll, you've got a high chance of the other 3 good ones getting boosted each 4 levels.
    That's really it. You MUST learn what is a "good stat" for every scenario. Then level intelligently.

    I actually often took the risk of building my pity. I always make sure before the banner that I really want, I have reached at least pity 50 or 60, just in case I lose 50-50, while saving wishes (believe me, it's possible without whaling, just welkins and exploring). And yes, there are times where I was unfortunate/fortunate (?) I'm not sure myself actually. Because after getting Nahida C0, I'm planning to build my pity slowly, like doing 10 pulls weekly for Hu Tao C0 and C1, but then, I got Nahida C1 early, which is, fine.. because I like the character. It is not what I have planned, but after that, I have some wishes left, and went straight to pity 60 until now, because I had a feeling that I won't be getting any 5-star early again for sure, since I just got one early (of course I could be wrong XD but thank goodness Nahida C2 didn't come home lol). But of course, if I have guaranteed, I won't dare to build pity, knowing that sometimes I got the character early. But if I know there's a chance that I will lose 50-50, I will go for it. So, I guess build pity at your own risk and luck XD

    The way I build pity is saving at least 90 wishes and pulling on banners where if I do get the 5 star I would be happy and if I lost the 50/50 then I have a guaranteed on the banner that I want

    On building pity, after being "screwed over" by an early 50/50 beating Kazuha and Kokomi that I did not want at the time while wanting the Shogun and Itto right after (and luckily having just enough free/welkin primos to get what I truly wanted) my new rule is: only "build pity" if I absolutely want the 4 stars, wouldn't mind the 5 star/am curious about them AND either have enough primos to guarantee the next 5 star I want or don't really want any known upcoming 5 star
    That's how I got my 35th pull 50/50 defeating Wanderer who....is actually pretty fun as it turns out, even though I don't super want him still

    haha, I can relate to this; lost the 50/50 on Miko banner by "building pity", later drop one more multi and got yae. Don't complaining, pretty cool character

    I have some Mondstat and Liyue expeditions set to ore just so I don't have to bother for purposes of Battle Pass, but the Inazuma and Sumeru expeditions are for meat+eggs and fungususes. What...what _should_ they be on?

    Honestly the Strogbox point is very debatable.
    Some ppl just like me really need the artifact xp more than anthing else, I don't care if an artifact could have turned out good in the strongbox because I won't have enough artifact xp to upgrade it anyways so it doesn't really matter, this is different from account to account but in my account I try to get everyone to hold +20 artifacts, I don't have time to do artifact xp routes (when I do them it is because something is at +19) and artifact xp to fully max out my gear is just so much more valuable. When 2.7 ended I had all my built characters with artifacts so I started stockpiling for the strongbox but later Dendro came out and I ran out of fodder to build all my new characters + old characters that I didn't build but wanted to try out with Dendro.
    For people who aren't like this and feel like they don't need the xp, sure use the strongbox, but in my case I literally never have enough to consider throwing at it, farming Crimson Withch during the eternal Ayaka actually helped me a lot because I only got 1 set of the domain that I cared about and I could spend the rest on getting +20 for all my supports
