The FtP/low spender account is a really good example of how a FtP account looks like. Depending on your luck and your time investment the damage output you can have is quite a bit higher, but like I said, that takes luck and a lot of investment. And most accounts that are that strong, are AR 59 or even 60.

[@hooeythegreat1987]

Honestly, yeah

[@Strashky]

define strong? i can clear everything easily as an ar 55

[@fabian5689]

@@Strashky i don’t have to define strong because I already did so in my comment. Also I only said that 'most' Accounts that are stronger than the average f2p/lowspender Account (using the ones in the video) are AR 59 or 60 because they have spend more time in the game grinding Artefacts. I don’t know how ez it really is for you to 36* the Abbys but if it’s really ez that moste likely means that you got lucky and/or pulled a lot of strong and synergizing chars and not everyone pulls for the strongest and best synergizing characters so you shouldn’t see yourself as the average player.

[@Strashky]

@@fabian5689 I mean fair enough, i pulled for Raiden, Yelan, Hu Tao, Kazuha and Zhongli. all i had to do was get a 4 pc Millelith and literally farm emblem only to be able to build every character i use. Shimenawa for Hu tao, Emblem for Raiden, Xiangling and Yelan and then strongbox trash for noblesse for Bennet/ Xingqiu and i guess some virid runs to get a decent 4 pc set for kazuha

[@gaelpat2511]

I can relate to this, I'm a player since ver 1.0 and spending about 1.5 hours a day playing, I think time investment outweighs monetary investments when it comes to building a solid team with a decent damage output, there are lots of factors like Character availability banners/weapons, artifacts RNG, Mats, Crowns. Resin and Mora. As an Ar60 who never spent any amount of money in this game. It's safe to say that the end game is pretty easy.

[@soulisslippery]

"it is- literally just kazuha" yes. as a kazuha main, yes. considering the low ish cd on that kazuha, id be terrified of him with 200 cd. my kazuha with his dps gear hits scarily high enough numbers at c2 mist (and iffy artifacts, but 2.2k atk 57-216 so its not horrible but id like more cr.) id be terrified of that kind of ratio at c6.. also in agreement that, it does not matter. i have 2 f2p alt accounts and both can 36 star abyss. my main account where i do spend also can. with enough investment, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

[@alucipher]

This video made me realize how unlucky I am in Genshin, spent quite a lot while not going for any constellations but I'm still missing plenty of 5 stars why 😃

[@AndresLionheart]

Depends on how you spent it. I've been paying for the $5 monthly thing since the beginning, so I'll be at $120 spent for 72k primogems when we get to the 2nd anniversary. Buying straight up that same money would only get you like 15k primos.

[@AvianZone]

I’ve spent a lot of money (roughly 300 bucks) and have been insanely lucky. (Pulling 2 5 stars in a single ten pull twice.) My luck has gone in the wishing system and nothing in artifacts ;w;

[@harm0ny_]

Honestly my Itto hits fairly close to that C6 Itto’s numbers at C0, Redhorn with no refinements, and triple crowned. Constellations are nice and unlock new features on characters, but with enough investment any character can hit like a truck. Obviously you’ll clear things easily with maxed out character and subpar artifacts but I find it much more satisfying to see the work of farming for a character pay off when it was your passion to improve their build allowing them to hit crazy numbers, not the fact that they’re at a higher constellation level.

I spent about 3-4k and don't have as many c6 units as the whale in video by far. Therefore $2000+ is set a little bit low, more likely $8000+. Did the whale himself claim that he spent about 2k? I highly doubt that.

[@tachyon3.14]

Being f2p mostly just means you struggle more to 36* (especially if you don’t build your characters) and have less characters to play. Tbh with enough time and just doing daily comms + events + resin you’d be able to have decently built characters and can clear all the content

[@rft1076]

I think the difference is that as an f2p you just progress more slowly when it comes to characters. By now everyone should know that 36ing abyss is pretty doable with most if not all characters. Just the non f2p players can get their hands on characters that require less equipment to do it or can gear out multiple characters at once (multiple damage characters is the current meta, so teams benefit a lot from multiple geared characters). That's my pov on that topic.

Welkin alone almost doubles your collection of primos. And battle pass gives you a ton of resources in mora, talents, exp, etc. I’ve been doing just these two since I started some months ago and i only realized now what a difference it makes. I think the main diff is I can have more characters and build them faster- but not necessarily stronger characters.

[@terreliasko]

Yeeah, finally someone who says the samee! :D Like week or so ago I trying to explain this to one person I know who played genshin for only like 20 hours and after that he left because he said that game wanted money out of him (no idea how he came to this conclusion but whatever) and that it's p2w gacha game.. but in reality it really isn't and he was just standing on his head arguying this the same senteces aka the internet said this and that, some of my friends who are playing the game are saying that genshin is p2w, it's gacha, the game wanted money out of him and blah blah. It just really doesn't matter if you spend money in genshin or not, since pure f2p acc that's good build can literally be cracked as the acc where they player spend their money. :D
