I decided to piss away 10 rolls on the Zhongli banner and it gave me my third Mona, so now I think I'll go for broke on Eula now that I'm guaranteed to get her. I'm planning to team her up with Fischl and Diona. Who would be a good 4th? I'm thinking either Beidou or Bennet, but both of them are unbuilt C0 at the moment.
Bennet is amazingly flexible in almost all teams, plus having pyro readily available is always welcomed, so it's a no brainer. While the hp restriction from not having C1 can be annoying, you can get hit on purpose to fix it, and Diona already covers you as a healer too
 
Thinking of pulling for Eula, I'm at 54 pity so I should only have to roll 16-36 times before I get her. And thank fuck for that because I have no interest in the 4 stars on her banner (Already have Xingqiu at C6). I think I even already have Xinyan and Beidou at C2 too.
How Ning fares at c4 ? Turretbedo with Rust Fischl is an impressive combo, Ning probably can do better. Planning to run this for Abyss.

IMHO, Eula banner + her weapon banner is lacking. Investing rolls in the current banners could bring better returns, that is if one is far from pity.
I have her at C3, as far as 4* DPS goes she's about as good as it gets as long as you have a good weapon (Solar Pearl > Widsith > Eye of Perception/Blackcliff > Frostbearer imo). Definitely needs to be run with geo resonance + shielder (Noelle and Zhongli are her best partners for this reason)
If you already have Albedo you can even go triple or quad geo since Ning gives a shitton of geo energy, you will be popping bursts the moment theyre off cooldown. Another really easy plug and play team is double geo + double pyro. Thats generally what I run with her unless I need to throw in other characters (like Venti for abyss 12-3 or Rosaria for 12-2).
Basically as long as you have geo resonance and a shield you can fill the other slots with whatever you want
edit: oh yeah also you can use her as burst DPS/support. Her burst hits hard and refills really easily, and the jade screen is an amazing geo buffer. Glad + Petra for DPS, Petra + NO or 4pc NO for burst dps.

Yea, Ning got her memory of dust (lol specialist weapon) so her as DPS should be a very solid choice. Plan to run her with the geo bros and Bennet. Should be cake for this set up.

Glad + Petra definitely for Ning, Albedo to run on full NO. Hope this also improves ZL's paltry 55k burst.

For my build (Homa + mediocre substat artifacts + crowned burst) just a raw (crit) meteor with geo resonance is about 60k
With "the works" (pyro res/bennet/jade screen/geo res) its 96k (tested on the treasure hoarders on 11-1)
I think my peak of all time was like 130-160k because I got some insane abyss buffs that buff HP or ATK or burst damage or some shit
 
I feel like I have satisfied the metanigger part of my brain and now Im just going to roll for every waifu as long as their design isnt atrocious. no more homos.
Didnt prefarm for Eula at all since I was in the middle of pushing Xingqiu and Venti to final ascension so its gonna be a while until she's usable

farming doesn't take as long, only if you want to do the final ascension.

made the mistake of trying to get at least yanfei c1 to make her stamina consumption less severe, and the first roll was geo ceo c1. then 2 more diona doubles, stringless r1, beidou double.
TLDR: fuck this shit.

Damn, Eula's damage numbers really tempt me to go on her banner. She's the queen of burst damage.
feels like ice beidou, but electro sucks, so there's that.
wonder what the buff will look like, but given how they release state I don't expect much.

Zhongli is a god tier unit with pretty underwhelming constellations so that sucks. Im gonna be honest even my build only ticks like... 5k per pillar resonance so I dont see 2 doing much for you aside from geo construct meme teams. I feel like the very rarely make 5stars that are satisfying at C0 while scaling well with constellations. Venti and Zhongli are good at C0 but their cons are meh. Xiao and Childe feel like some of their cons should have been apart of their C0 kit.
And yeah my problem is that I dont have any good bloodstained or pale flame pieces ready so on top of final ascension and talents I need to grind artifacts for her. At least I already had a weapon ready though.
 
I missed every single character rerun. Event characters? No you get fucking KEQUING TWICE OVER THE SPAN OF SEVERAL PITIES. I actively avoided rolling on the Kequing banner because I didn't want a fucking nother kequing. Saved the primo as much as I could for the characters I wanted and still Couldnt get them. I probably wouldn't have Hu tao if I didn't realize I had a few of those crystal things for some reason last second and the RNG gods decided to actually give the supposedly easier to get event 5 star. I've got near-max constellation on almost all the characters I don't have any fun using. Wake me up whenever they run the banners again next century, Venti and zhongli were the only ones with interesting mechanics-inducing attacks. The fucking vortex and "geo pillars but better" moves were things I've been wanting to try in a non test-run format for a while but the game won't fucking let me.

The fact I got both Klee and Hu-tao last minute on their banners is strange to me. Even stranger still Hu Tao's attacks fucking kill her. They don't FEEL all that stronger than other pyro attacks, Klee's explosions don't kill her but like all pyro class attacks end up hurting the user unless it's a fucking dungeon cause of the burning tall grass mechanics. It'd be nice to have a 5 star other than Qiqi or Kequing that don't fucking kill themselves when they attack. Xiao would almost count if not for the fact His anemo power stuff kills him too! They're fun to play when not dying which is why I have to literally have qiqi's little healing ball friend out at all times when playing as Hu tao or Xiao.

You just have to expect to get fucked over by the coinflip every time. If there a character you want you really have to save up until you know you can guarantee 160~ rolls. I had a huge stash saved up when I rolled on the Homa banner, before that point I didnt roll since Zhonglis first run.
After that Ive been mostly saving aside from a few rolls on standard and weapon banner here and there. Got Rosaria at like medium/high pity so Eula only took me 25 rolls. Now I have about 80 left. Just waiting for a Ganyu rerun, Shenhe, or potential Inazuma electro waifus.
In terms of beating the coinflip I think I beat it once and lost it twice

double energy gain, which is nice for a geo battery, plus crystalize as team support. c2 gives burst a shield for the whole team, so halfway there.... all in all I'm not that pissed since supports age much better (unless mihoyo comes up with new bullshit mechanics that nullify their feature) so it's more an "investment" in the long run. but for now I'd rather have another char than a constellation tbh.
also not a fan of 5* dps because they're either depend on their 5* weapon or constellations too much, and unless you're a whale you won't ever get those. eula would be ok for the passive and I'm still missing some more cryo chars (who knows when ganyu will be back, and how powercreeped she will be at that point).

kequing is fun to play, so there's that. besides that I hardly use any 5* star I got, not even the kekqueen (but then I'm not doing abyss, so not forced too). only grabbed zonghli because his shield is just broken and makes it easier to farm those retarded HAHA ONESHOT bosses.

what usually works for me is just save primos, then either roll on banners for a chance of the featured 4* where I don't mind getting a 5* (early), or save so I get the 5* I want guaranteed. if you do it only once per banner you're usually "safe" and can save more for the next one. didn't follow my own advice this time, so zonghli c1 and no eula.

Keqing was the first 5-star the gacha gave me which I absolutely took advantage of since I'd already nearly maxed a decent sword and had some Crit% artifacts. I've recently swapped the Prototype Rancour for a Blackcliff Longsword so she now excels at killing groups of enemies very quickly, though I really need to get some different artifacts to make the set bonus more useful (since I tend to spam skills, meaning she's almost always dealing Electro damage). While she's decent at fighting bosses and exploring the world (blinking into the sky for bonus height before gliding is fun) it feels like many of the domains you'll be farming are almost purposely built to shit on Kekqueen, leaving you better off benching her for those.

Currently I'm working on Yanfei because I lacked a consistent Pyro damage source, plus she's another character that wants to crit and I had a bunch of artifacts lying around to help her do that.
 
Except the lack of cocogoat and perhaps C1 HT, very happy with the team so far.

IMHO, while Eula provides great burst and decent physical dps. She has that "not required but great to have" feel unlike ZL. The excuse of running a 10k hp fischl AA shooting everything and tanking geovishap spins is a lot of fun.
 
I got stupidly lucky getting Hu Tao C1 and Staff of Homa in like 40 wishes in total, so I don't expect anything more from the gacha. Now that I'm a meta whore myself, I feel immune to wanting to get new chars, even if Eula looks kind of cool

Yeah I will always deter people from rolling on the weapon banner but I was lucky enough to walk away with one Homa and one WGS. AND I got the Homa first, but I wanted the claymore for my Diluc.

Definitely disagree on the weapon part. Sure there are some characters that are picky with what you throw on them (childe and Xiao specifically mainly want blackcliff or the BP bow - or in Childes case Rust) But there are also some like Ganyu who work amazing with a fucking crafted f2p bow. (Eula too who can use the craftable dragonspine claymore) And shit one of Albedos actual best weapons in a 3*. Whales might make you think otherwise with insane damage showcases but you can defintely squeeze a shitton of damage out of just 4* weapons.

as a hu tao connoisseur, you've building her wrong lol

you're not supposed to keep her at full health, it'll always take 30% of your health no matter what you do. keeping her below 50% hp is the way to go, especially since her last unlocked talent does 33% more pyro damage and her burst does 100% more damage than what she does at full health. it also retroactively heals her. be sure to try and max out your crit rate for her, her best quality is how much godly damage she does when she crits. i don't have her fully built because of shit crimson witch rng but as it is now, she does 5k-10k damage at all times for me. so imagine that number tenfold when she's fully built for me

if you really need a healer for her super badly, synergize her with xingqiu, his elemental skill + one of his passive talents heals well enough that you don't have to worry about dying.

meanwhile, i'm on roll 85 on character banner since i pulled zhongli and still not even a single 5*. i'd be fine with literally anyone, not just eula (which i do require for my WGS to not collect dust) so my lack of hitting pity is actually pissing me off atm

Kequing, despite me not wanting multiples is indeed fun to play as, but it's fucking irritating when enemies somehow magically don't get stunlocked by the radius attack thing and attack you through it during the animation. Kinda funny when it happens though cause its like just usually some spastic little goblin bastard going monkey mode during a quick cutscene.

You fail to realize I'm still doing a decent job killing things. I can burn anything I want and not have to worry about health if it's constantly flipping between the down and up. I've somehow never got actual crit boosting items save for like one or 2 and they werent even in the same set. It was a bitch for a while to even get anything other than "HP increased!" items.

The weapon banner, in general isn't so bad, depending on the banner's offerings and current and coming character banners. Of course there are exceptions.

A skyward weapon, maybe not the bow or book, is going to get a pass. On the other hand, Liyue series are excellent picks as long you have shields to go with, and most players will at least have Diona or Noelle to support.

Whales might make you think otherwise with insane damage showcases but you can defintely squeeze a shitton of damage out of just 4* weapons.
ganyu just shits out high numbers no matter what (and you need to headshot with the crescent, which isn't always easy in combat or a PITA on some mobs), childe really wants constellations, xiao I haven't really tried (blackcliff is meh for bosses or single low number fights). HoD for albedo only really works if you got pocket heal, it's mainly if you run him as turret support. for most chars the best 4* is the BP weapon, which at least saves your from rolling on the weapon banner.

not saying you're completely gimped with a 4*, but there is a sizeable difference in stats alone, followed by the mechanics which complement some playstyles way more. I rather max a 4* char with a somewhat refined 4* weapon than sit on a char that feels handicapped and probably gets powercreeped at some point anyway.

still got over two weeks, no need to rush. just wait till we're close to 1.6 to see the next banner, then dump primos quick before it changes depending on the new 5*

well the new event is super fun, i'd take maze dungeons over the shitty point-based system battle royale any day

i like how it only gives you a small set of characters to build a team from, it's pretty fun mixing and matching for better and better results, along with the perfect-stat artifacts they have on them

yeah i know that, it's just that i really wanna get it over with already since it's the most rolls i've ever put into the 5* character banner. if i get eula i'd be pretty happy and if i end up with anyone else that'd be great too, since i'll actually be guaranteed a character so i can stop worrying, been on a 50/50 win streak for a while

edit: i got qiqi'd, and i'm so upset because she's the one character i absolutely did not want or need. at least i'm guaranteed, but at what cost...
