It's always fun to see other people's "regret" lists because, being an F2P player myself, I'll inhale absurd amounts of copium before I utter the words "I regret this character"

[@catsneeze]

I'm also f2p but i have one regret, itto. I can't farm him as of now, i don't like his design that much, and i didn't even wanted him when i pulled for him, i literally just pulled cause i liked getting characters but i didn't want him (i was dumb, ik) i'll probably use him more someday though, he is my only five star rn (i'm saving up wisely) and i do like him a bit more now...

I can understand why people wouldn’t like Ayaka for her sprint since before they fixed the dash for her and Mona, getting stuck at the small edges was really annoying and I’m a Ayaka main. 😂

[@Candytime9]

I love the sprint, the fact that it can give her cryo infusion in battle is so good and if you can manage correctly, it will not deplete her stamina much while fighting. I started playing during Kazuha release which was right before Ayaka, so she was my first proper dps character, and I still main her. Though I can understand if people don't like it, but I personally do.

Albedo… he is the only character I regret pulling. Just because of his limited bis sword that I didn’t even have a chance to get. The damage difference between HoD and cinnabar sword is so huge. I mean, having a character and knowing you will never get his full potential is heartbreaking. When they put cinnabar sword in Albedo’s trial I thought they will make a way to get old event weapons, but it was just a copium 🥺

[@mars9986]

This!!! This makes me so sad. I believe he and Klee are the only 5 star characters without their own 5 star signature weapons. I guess you can count lost prayers and summit shaper but neither of those are optimal for the characters themselves.

[@kaikaikai4477]

@@mars9986They really feel like standard 5* characters honestly… And I highly doubt the developers will ever make a 5 star sword for Albedo, just because the Cinnabar Spindle is an incredibly strong weapon for him. But even if they do make a 5 star sword for him, its value to the account will be very low (if they put defense as the main characteristic). Plus, you'd have to spend 70 wishes, if not 210, just to have your Albedo deal damage as the Albedo of the old players who managed to get the Cinnabar Spindle. Sad

[@kaikaikai4477]

@@QuinquetPourpre what a shame they can’t do a shop or something where you can buy old weapons. I mean there are a lot of event weapons that are just ok at the most. You can use them if you want, but they’re rarely the best in slot. But in Albedo’s situation there are just no alternatives except HoD. You can get the Catch, even though it’s an event weapon, so what’s the problem? Even if the cost of Cinnabar Spindle is star glitter, it’s still better then having no chance to get it at all.

Always very happy to enjoy the evening with your uploads.

Samee, I tried my best to pull a character only after the reviews are in and deciding that their gameplay is compatible with me. I mean-- as an f2p, you can't afford regretting a character X'D

[@alguien908]

I kind of regretted Ayaka for a while, I pulled her bc I needed a strong Cryo, but I ended up using Kokomi and Venti way more and with Dendro Cryo is even less important, but tbh her skin has made up for it, now I'm trying out some stuff with Layla. The only character I kind of regret is Hu Tao, I should have skipped because I had no clue Eula, one of my favourite chracters, was rerunning next, but I feel like I wouildn't have regretted her as much in a different circumstance. With Mika around the corner Eula is gonna get a rerun for sure (like I really hope so it's been a long while), so at least it will be over. I kind of disagree with Eula being formulaic, I don't enjoy Itto in the trials but for Eula from what i know there are different ways to play around your burst, you can swap and release it earlier if you feel like the rotation is getting longer and you don't need as many damage, in trials I've done I hate Itto but I enjoy Eula much more (I even prefer Noelle to Itto playstyle wise Itto just has the worst playstyle for my preferences even if I love his character, I would really have regretted pulling him if I ever did). Eula rerun wen

I have prepared SO MUCH for Eula. She will have a Mika, a Raiden, and a c6 Rosaria, and a WGS, and a couple of my best artifacts on set.

im so happy mika is coming to genshin because eula was left in the dust as other dps units got more and more utility. its sad the last ever eula buff we got was raiden shogun and since then it was just a downhill, i am for sure pulling her if she comes back in 3.5

[@AuthorityCat]

Quickswap Eula is so much fun but the problem is the team comp. Raiden and Rosaria are perfect for this kind of team, but there isn't a 4th unit that comes anywhere close to those two, so you might as well do hyperbloom instead. Mika doesn't work with this team comp right now but maybe that will change in beta. He's basically a Bennett side-grade (at C6 yikes) for the typical hypercarry Eula team, which isn't as good as hyperbloom with Eula in there for fun.

[@lightishredgummi]

I don't think I'll ever regret pulling for a character because the only characters I really pull for are ones that I kinda want regardless of how much I think I'd play them. I got Nahida because she's adorable (knowing I'd barely play her), I got Wanderer because I like his character arc and his voice lines sometimes make me laugh ("quit following me!"), and I got Xiao recently because the chasm archon quest made me emotionally invested in him and he has my favorite character design in the game, but I honestly didn't think I'd play him much! his gameplay took some getting used to but now I find myself crashing random hilichurl camps for no reason just to play him for a liiiiiittle longer every day lol (my ability to build characters is, frankly, embarrassing so spiral abyss is out of the question). I also only pulled for Layla because she's starry and pretty, and I plan to pull for Mika just because I think he's the cutest thing. my account is basically just a gallery of characters I like looking at lol

[@lusanao8489]

Cyno being the most regretable character from the community hurts me as a Cyno main. Did they not use him with nahida? He is insanely strong in quickbloom, he is meta in CN server too.

The problem is.. They are so blinded that they deny he's actually strong They made me question my sanity, like the dude is fine I can't literary get the hate

[@sagearbor9414]

For me it’s the fact that he’s so energy dependent. Like I have Cyno and AlHaitham, who both use arguably similar teams, but I’d rather use alhaitham because his elemental infusion isn’t tied to permanently active burst up. I just hate the feeling of running around waiting to have burst up to do anything. Could be my skill issue, but it really makes me want to play other characters instead. That’s the biggest reason for me because I keep switching between characters like Ayato wanderer and alhaitham all the time. I love my husbandos 😅

[@BaileyZK]

I mean Nahida wasn't out when he released and it's not like Nahida is particularly good or fun with him anyway against anything but bosses because his burst lasts so long and doesn't let you switch so you can't mark any new enemies with her. His anti-synergy with Nahida is one of his biggest issues and one of the main things that they'll hopefully fix

@@Kam1_9 probably because albedo while a good character can be replaced in many teams he fits in (beside mono geo), same thing with zhongli.

[@jaffrry5120]

I don't know if we have the same reason but I also benched my Zhongli. Zhongli is indeed a comfort in life but at some point I couldn't make a team without Zhongli in it. I have a Bennett but not getting interrupted during your attacks was such a great feature that zhongli does. I decided to bench him cause it felt like I was relying too much on that comfort. After I did that, it opened my teams to a lot more characters. The problem now though is, if before I can't make a team without Zhongli, now I can't put Zhongli on a team. One thing I realized once I dropped Zhongli is I like reactions more than a standard DPS doing most of the work.

@@Kam1_9 I mainly play teams with a lot of reactions and geo just doesnt fit there and I just prefer Healers over shielders.

The only Ganyu team I could play was Melt with Bennet, Xiangling, and Diona, and this wasn't so great when I needed Bennet and Xiangling in the other half of the Abyss. I think it would've been better to pull for Zhongli at the time.

Pair her with nahida and proc burning for constant melt reaction. And nahida provides em to further enhance your melt.

[@xxx_lolidestroyer69_xxxuwu58]

Yea this is my consideration when pulling for characters, whether they synergize well with my existing characters or not. Like for example my 2nd account have Ganyu, Mona, and Childe; in which I wanted to make a Morgana and (Inter)national team. Considering this, even a highly valued 5*s like Raiden and Yelan would bring little value to this account which is why I skipped them and waited for Kazuha instead (bcs I lost 50/50 during Venti rerun)

Guide videos often say that Albedo can fit into any team if you don’t know who the last member should be. For me, he almost only exist in mono geo. Outside of mono geo, he’s mainly there to take the spotlight from the main dps. He can also buff EM but I’d rather use Sucrose for that, who I don’t even touch nowadays

5:37 Acording to theory crafters Yanfei is INDEED stronger than Klee ! Although she's only about a 5% DPS increase , Yanfei is so much smoother to play than Klee , and thanks to being a 4 star you can get her cons way more easily , her C4 even allowing her to become a pretty good shielder

my problem with Ayaka is the artifacts i never got an attack one (dont remeber exacty were i needed that but it was an attack % main stat)

[@Farushion]

Mona-Ayaka dash is best for dodging. It consumes less stamina and you can do it multiple times. You can just slams the button multiple times and even you can dodge the raiden shogun attacks

[@Screcy]

Eula is the only character I regret pulling. At the time Raiden was my only 5* limited character and I needed anything I could use to help me with the abyss. People said she's good with Raiden so I went for it. In the end I found her gameplay and aesthetic too boring so I almost never used her...

[@icyglacier2429]

It hits different when you try to build supports around the character that you pull rather than pulling for characters hoping they would work with typical supports like Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu,...

[@Jonathan331]

Nilou... At first. Bloom was a new reaction at the time, and I just wasn't used to getting a delayed dmg. Used to be, when I click... something dies, or gets damaged. It's almost tactile. With Nilou, you just had to let her 3x E out and wait for your dendro teammates to create reactions and your driver to create more. It's not the most engaging. Then Nahida came out, and I still built my Nilou, because I wasn't satisfied. Now, at 57khp, and EM focus besides, she's always been in my abyss team since getting her built. Same with my Itto, I just built him and now, there's no regrets. Turns out, you just gotta build them, and because of the unlocked potential, (and the time investment you put in) you WILL love them. Lol. because that build? That's your baby.

[@deadwav3]

I also used to regret "pulling" for Ayaka, but it's a different story. My account got hacked during the extended period of Ayaka's rerun back in 2.6 all the way to mid 2.7, and my hacker got her alongside c1 Diluc. After I got my account back, I used to always look at her with anger because she basically stole my savings for Baizhu. I would throw her off the sky nail on dragonspine a few times, let her succumb to the cold climate, let her burn next to the fire flower, etc. But after 2 weeks living in denial, I started to think that I should've been mad at the hacker and not the character, and hey I basically completed the Yashiro commision comp because I also happen to have Ayato and Thoma. Gradually, I started to warm up to her, and after another few days I've finally convinced myself to properly build her. Now I'm a proud Kamisato siblings haver, and using them both in the same team is one of the best things I've ever done.

[@allyrose9494]

I don't really regret pulling any character, the closest I can think is Childe and it's not cause I hate his kit, no I like it, it's just that I have too many build projects going on right now that he keeps getting pushed down the list to get finished, collecting dust and I kinda regret getting him to not use for lord knows how long.

[@brystella]

Characters I regret.. Itto (I thought he was fun but never built him and im not the biggest fan of geo, and honestly I just wanted to be taller than my friend in-game who also got him), Xiao (never built him and dont use him), Ganyu (same reason). Now I would say Tighnari, Mona, Keqing, Diluc and Jean but technically most of those were 50/50s so I cant regret them. I also kind of regret Albedo, tho he does have a build (despite his low crit rate). And finally, I regret getting Wanderer. I loved his story, personality and design so much I just had to get him only to discover I dont really like his gameplay, especially since if you don't have a shield combat in air can be difficult, and I have Sucrose. Yes I made Sucrose a DPS because shes my favorite along with Wanderer (lore wise ofc) and I love her gameplay.

[@reversal3628]

I don't regret having someone particularly. I only pull who I want. The only regret is have to skip rerun whoever I wanted for the new/next character I also want.

[@sanjeethmahendrakar]

No regrets for any characters tbh because I have a rotating main team so I always use different characters to keep things free. The closest thing I have to a regret is tartaglia since I got him while trying to get rosaria but I still use him occasionally especially when up against mobs.

[@MaximumCarnage-]

Lol I didn't like his playstyle when I tested him so didn't want him and I got him going for Rosaria. That's when I learned how dangerous chasing a 4* can be and how it can be tougher than getting a 5*. Took a break from the game but since being back I do want to eventually build him and give him a serious try.

Well. Im very picky when it comes to pulling new characters. I think the only character i regret pulling is Childe (mr cooldown). But to be fair i never really wanted him, just wanted to try the act of "pulling". Also Albedo, but again, i pulled for Bennett Sucrose and Fischl. So Albedo was an acceptable collateral damage:)

[@avancer2423]

[@gktte2574]

I regret pulling Yae Miko, I had her BiS. I simped for her the moment I saw her but after I got her something about her feels off. I tried to make her work, put Fischl on her, do Aggravate, do Benny, do Hyperbloom. I still feel unsatisfied. I then realized that I like being interactive in battle, that’s why I like Ningguang and Ayaka cuz I need to keep clicking buttons. Though you could do NA Yae Miko, Ningguang’s NA is still more fun and has gimmicks to it. On the side note, I also feel the same way with Venti. I kinda regret him cuz I cant make him work on chonky enemies but the moment you need him, he feels worth every hours of my chest hunting. Also, I thought I regretted pulling for Nilou but she made abyss a child’s play and her cutscene in Samsara is 🤌 lol.

[@cocoroach_ok]

I don't really have any pull regrets. And I'm like one of the ten remaining cyno main out there. But if I have to choose, probably scara. I dunno, it just feels really awkward when he gets hit by enemies while in the air and then he falls and then he gets up. Also his charged atk is just really weird, I sometimes can't charged atk on my phone. I like his backstory and he's cute but still don't even really like him that much since I just see him as unlikable little gremlin. And I think his biggest downfall is Faruzan. Wow bro, can't wait to build my c0 faruzan that I got after scara's banner with 300+% er and still doesn't get her burst back in time. It's just harder to build around your support instead of your hyper carry.

[@zy0xdespairgeclips]

If you have a well-built Yunjin, Faruzan is ironically not super needed imo. For overall higher anemo dmg she is but since he's a normal-attacks-kind-of-character it's actually really good. And I don't know, you'd usually run him with a shielder anyway tbh, so I wouldn't say it's THAT much of an issue. Even Thoma is a good option. (especially at c6). If you still don't like him that's okay^_^ but just in case you still want to give him a shot you can try those tips.

[@cocoroach_ok]

@@zy0xdespairgeclips thanks for your recomendation. I have built Yunjin, I'll try it later and see if it helps scara. I just got Faruzan from the current weapon banner, I tried using her and I just got stressfull recharging her burst. I used zhongli or thoma with him sometimes but idk if it's a skillissue thing, I still got yeeted quite often🥲 I do like that he's a hypercarry that doesn't rely on burst tho. I like cyno, itto, and xiao's gameplay but I just can't put them in my exploration team anymore

[@zy0xdespairgeclips]

@@cocoroach_ok Yes, Wanderer isn't top tier but I do think he can be pretty good with the right team comp. He's also not for everyone so don't feel bad about it, I think that the best thing about him is how good he feels in overworld even though his damage isn't super amazing.

[@ridley1230]

The one character that I regret spending time and resources on is, weirdly enough, Ayato. I mained him for a bit but the second I got him friendship Level 10, I never touched him again. Even a benched character like Itto I’ll play with every now and then, but never Ayato. His play of just standing there holding his attack just got real stale real fast. I could never really find a way to make him fun for me. But other than that, absolutely no regrets with anyone else.

I think Nahida and Kokomi alone are already the premium version of Nilou's teammates, and you even slot anyone into the last slot (Hydro or Dendro ofc), but I know how you feel, it fells something is still missing. There's no shielder and grouper, though at least Yelan's E can group small enemies and Xingqiu's Rainswords has dmg reduction

[@sweetillusions5495]

She does pretty much exactly one thing (Extreme AoE damage) and that's kind of it really. I have her double crowned but rarely use her since her kit is so niche that you'd only ever want to use her once in a blue moon.

[@starlette7820]

Xiao's burst does not really appear to knock enemies away it just knocks them in the air. I've never had the issue of enemies being knocked away with his burst...

[@voidlockdragon1406]

My only real objection is the Xaio choice when Xinyan exists with her bugged moves and terrible split scaling that should have been in the list. Xaio is really strong in abyss with the appropriate teammates and with C6 Faruzan, fixes nearly every major problem with him. C6 Faruzan has made it very easy with her burst to group all the enemies up whenever Xaio's plunge attack causes knockback. Also, major dps increase along with giving plenty of energy back to Xaio to the point where it's nearly a consistent rotation back into his burst with minimum ER. I can understand in terms of gameplay with Ayaka if you don't like her dash or don't build her into a freeze team. The burst can easily miss agile enemies without the freeze on them. I do hope they buff Klee with the hydro archon to make her burst become like super vape procs or something. Right now, Klee for me is really just use her E charges then switch because I do not like her autos and rarely use her burst since I feel it's underwhelming in damage and practical usage.

[@Toqrainbow]

who gives a shit about 4-stars? nobody is actively pulling for her LMAO

[@voidlockdragon1406]

@@Toqrainbow Xinyan is like the worse one in the game currently. Not good at any role. Terrible shielder with split scaling stats that are inconsistent to either shielding or being a damage dealer. Surprised in the video he didn't build her up just for this list for him to regret doing so lol.

[@Axterix13]

As Byron says, you are very unlikely to find someone who regrets pulling for Xinyan, because people don't pull for Xinyan. They get her when losing a "50/50" (or 75/25 in case of the weapon banner), or from the standard banner, or as a 1:3 chance when pulling on a banner for a different character on said banner. Take me, for example. I slightly regret pulling for Candace, but since I only did a single 10 pull and got her, it is just that, slight. But I don't regret pulling for Diluc, who I have at C4 and I have not used a single time on this account. The reason why is simple. I never pulled for Diluc. He just happens when I'm pulling for other things or using standard wishes. That said, while Xinyan does have the worst designed kit in the game, one that pulls her in opposite directions in various things, she's a decent enough four star if you give her a Redhorn Stonethresher (and you have her at C6). And yeah, you shouldn't have to give a character a five star weapon for them to be viable. What it goes to show, though, is that Xinyan could be made playable enough if Hoyoverse just added a four star claymore that, say, gave a Yun Jin style, def-based bonus to physical damage (so it'd help her normals, charged, plunge, and burst). Permanent addition, of course, say a crafted weapon made available through a Xinyan story quest. Of course, knowing Hoyoverse, if they added such a weapon, they'd make it an event one, thereby screwing over anyone who starts after the event ;) Anyway, since I got mine a Redhorn, I quite enjoy using her. Been thinking about crowning her normal attack even. And she is actually quite handy for certain domains. Specifically, a few of the cryo ones. Being pyro, she can help break the shields (Though needing 2 enemies for the E to get a DoT is yet another issue), and her shield is handy for taking the edge of the hard hits or the annoying falling icicles.

[@voidlockdragon1406]

Yeah. It's hard to really get what you want when it's all mostly through chance. I guess I should have noted that regret should have been based on actually trying to get them rather than performance.

[@HopeIsADrug11037]

I've always been the type of person to completely ignore meta and just get the characters I want, but for me, getting Scaramouche because I was excited over the flying thingy might have been a bit of an oversight 😅 He's amazing for exploration but that's basically all I use him for. I've also never really understood the hate (or moreso regret) for Cyno. I main both him and Xiao, and while I absolutely love the both of them, Cyno feels much more fun to play. Especially in aggravate or hyperbloom teams. In the hyperbloom comp I use Cyno, Nahida, Kuki, and Xingqiu, and it's super fun! Aggravate I just swap out Xingqiu for Tighnari for the extra dps. Also a super fun team! I feel like there's more variety with how you play with Cyno opposed to Xiao.

While not an owner of all characters i regret pulling eula right now: , i pulled her when i was still new to the game and didn't know anything, i pulled her just because of her autos, i didn't even need to know her burst i played her in trial her autos seemed really fun and as someone that was playing physical kaeya at the time and also physical razor eula felt like a perfect fit, and my past self loved eula.... and then inazuma came out. Not only did i get ayaka, i got incredibly lucky and got c2 raiden while trying to get c4 xiangling (about 70 pulls total with carry over 50 pity from ayaka banner), but also enemies just countered her, you had enemies that would be mobile and not let you attack them like rifthounds especially electro ones (because you carried electro on you so they were always enraged), you had the rise of PMA that meant i did less physical damage and most importantly I as a player changed, i started liking different teams i started liking using taser, reverse melt, freeze, i stopped playing eula even before dendro came out, now that it's out i have even less of a reason to play her. and it makes me sad but somewhat nostalgic to think back about eula but i don't think i want to go back to her. she was a character that helped me get 681k crit in 1 single strike, and while i can't beat that right now i can see myself being able to in the future.
