Your experience with Lyney is kind of the exact opposite of mine. I pulled him solely for the Fontaine local specialties passive and no other reason and ended up loving him. Ganyu is one of my mains who I refuse to do any Abyss without so I like charged shots too. I don't use him THAT often because I have other mains but when I do I'm very very happy I have the guy

Even though Navia is my current main, I definitely agree with the C0 placement. She doesn’t need cons at all. Spent every gem I had getting her to C2, and I’d rather have those gems back. The cons are nice if you get them by chance, but not at all worth spending for. Her axe, on the other hand… Gotta get it for her. This is Fashion Impact, after all. Can’t have a stylish lady like her knocking heads with a weapon that doesn’t match her outfit, like some common ruffian. Neuvillette, on the other hand… he makes me feel like a crazy person. Everyone seems to love his play style, and my reaction is basically, “No thanks.” Spamming Hydro Pump seems incredibly boring to me. I had enough of it just doing his trial run. Likewise, the old darling of the dps category, Raiden, just doesn’t do it for me. Never was a fan of characters that are dependent on their burst. I don’t want to see that animation every time I need to take out a group of slimes. That was also one of my big annoyances with HSR’s combat, seeing those over the top dramatic ult animations over and over and over…

They killed any hope for vertical investment with imaginarium. There's really no character to regret having any more.

[@EB_3693]

But I get it. Being told over and over "does that character even burst (cause of suboptimal er)" also made me prefer neuvilette and characters like him even though their playstyle might seem boring. C1 hutao with 2 staff of homa probably falls in my possible regrets but she still kills everything too and her gameplay is intricate - not turn your brain off like Neuvi.

that sentence of yours "not who i might regret later on" doesn't actually work the way you're making it sound like.... like you can't decide that bruh, you can't decide that you're gonna regret something later or not unless it actually happens, that's how "regret", the word itself works, i mean yeah sometimes we do know b4 hand that we're gonna regret it but it's not always the case... like how i pulled for cyno in the spur of moment cuz he seemed fun at that time for me, but later i regretted pulling him cuz of the issue with his burst and all, and i never even use him nowadays!

[@doug3454]

I mostly regret pulling for dps characters I pulled more for their design/story/personality/animation aesthetics, but ended up not enjoying their playstyle (like Xiao, Neuvillette, Yoimiya, Eula, both Kamisato siblings,...). Neuvillette was the last straw; after him, I decided to only pull for a dps after I make sure I'll actually enjoy their playstyle for at least more than 2 weeks. And I especially regret Neuvillette because I was very close to not pulling him. My gut feeling was telling me he will get boring to play after a week or so, but I still gave in and, well, my gut feeling was absolutely correct.

[@zoiailiankova322]

Which characters do you find fun to play? I would like some recommendations :)

[@doug3454]

@@zoiailiankova322 I'd say my top 10 fun to play on-fielders/characters you build the team around (not in order) are Keqing, Wanderer, Arlecchino, Klee, Navia, Alhaitham, Raiden, Hu Tao, Childe and Nilou. As for supports/off-field dps characters, I just pull/build the generally good ones like Furina, Bennett, Kazuha, Sucrose, Nahida, Yelan, Xiangling, Fischl,... and also those who specifically work well with my favorite on-fielders/teams (like (ideally C6) Faruzan for Wanderer, (ideally C6) Sara for Electro characters, Chevreuse for Overload teams,...). I'd recommend pulling for/building some or most of those generally good supports/off-field dps characters either way and then finding which on-fielders you enjoy playing the most (kinda sucks you can't just try any character at any time and need to wait for them to be featured or grind the story quests (and even then, I think some characters you can't even try out in their story quests)) and also pulling for those more specific supports if the on-fielders you picked need them.

[@philkersonchong9848]

At least you got neuvillette fontaine underwater speed boost. The other dpses you don’t like were questionable except maybe xiao. Ayato has a unique soup team that has good AOE but only feels like childe team dps levels without childe insane hydro application and xiangling multiple pyronado hits per round tech.

[@alexplayer77]

For real. Not even 30 seconds into Neuvilette's trial and I was already hard pass. I genuinely don't see me using him for more than 5 minutes before getting bored. At least Ganyu requires proper aiming and Ayato fights at close range and has fun combos. My learning lesson was when I pulled Ayaka during eternal banner because it was back when she was meta but I hated playing her and freeze in general so I never even finished building her set. Now I have Wrio who is more fun and I can play in Melt and Freeze with the same set so I have literally 0 reason to go back to her

if youre looking to use yae more, i use her with tighnari and they shred everthing. while yae requires more field time than raiden or fischl, i find that it lines up really well with tighnari’s cooldowns since he ends up playing more like a quickswap character than a hypercarry. other team members are nahida and zhongli for comfort, or kokomi for hydro

[@carlosleite7011]

Baizhu pairs really well with Alhaithan, Tighnari, Nilou and Neuvillete. You can fit him together with Nahida for Raiden / Clorinde teams, but is a mediocre combination in general. So if you don't have anything that pairs decently with Baizhu, you will feel regret.

It’s important to note that it all depends on your position in the game. Units such as Shenhe and Xianyun are niche, needing to utilize other specific characters and elemental types to take full advance of potential. Additionally, whoever you have based on how many characters and teams you have is also important. Start by getting DPS units or highly coveted supports like Kazuha if you’re seeking depth and diversity in early game. Then you can stack up new teams by going for other characters. However, I’d say the most crucial part of pulling for characters is preference. Obviously you want to have good characters, but go for who you like!

[@ivana3263]

well yeah i might be the only person who regrets having yelan. i pulled her only for meta and im not ashamed to admit that. the thing is even before furina id still use kokomi or xingqiu for hydro slots. ive always valued the sustain over damage and well yelan is mostly damage. i even have her weapon which i got pulling for homa and she still stays benched. the only ever time im using her is killing annoying bosses in overworld because its faster but even then i use other teams which i enjoy more. the point is, pull for characters you like. it doesnt matter if they might get powercreept later, this a gacha game after all and you should have fun at the moment. most people get burnt out of genshin so if you are the person who comes back every region and leaves or just playing whenever, i think this is the best advice i can give you. pulling for meta is ok as long as you like the character. because meta changes and in mine case it ruined the experience. i couldve got another character instead which i would actually enjoy playing but here we are. now i even struggle coming back to genshin beacuse i find it less and less fun than before. i wish you all the best

I have her at 90, with all her talents at 9, yet I have found her to be one of the more problematic characters to pilot.

This isn't so bad with characters like Ayaka, Chiori, or Yanfei, but if you know Yoimiya, you already understand how terrible it would feel to have her normals disabled.

[@IchigoMegumin]

I started a brand new acc and it feels so good got to experience the liyue arkon quest again i fell in love with xiao again

[@chickbowdrie4750]

Ayato is a character that I'd rate "Build Later". I enjoy his style both as a person and playstyle, but I'm definitely focusing on other characters before i use him. I also found out he's one of the rarest characters in the game.

[@crpngrb]

i mostly play for fun, so seeing klee and talk about kokomi like she’s nothings kinda hurts 😭

[@Lukz243]

From my current roster... I don't think I'll ever regret getting anyone, even Ayaka or Venti (havent been using them on the abyss, but it's more about the abyss having both boss and mobs in the same half and not favoring cryo as much)

[@azuarc]

Not alphabetical? The only thing not alphabetical about this list is that you started with K. You just deliberately reordered things so you'd have Hu Tao and (Kamisato) Ayaka last.

[@ThePassionofRoses]

As a Wanderer and Venti Main, if I were to start a new account, I'd "whale for cons" (metaphorically) every time to get them. Venti as a DPS crowd control plus Wanderer's charged attack makes for a deadly combination--and if you get Venti to C6, the Anemo res shred applies to Wanderer's attacks as well. I got lucky in that I got a c6 Faruzan as well so she boosts not only Wanderer, but Venti's damage as well. In fact Benny is the outlier on my team for being pyro. Meanwhile I actually find Kazuha, everyone's favorite meta Anemo boy, to be difficult to use right. His burst doesn't contain enemies, his skill's crowd control is a bit too short for that for my liking, and ngl, the praise for Kazuha while the hate for Venti has made me kinda dislike him. I still use him on my team with Nahida just to have SOME crowd control, but other than that... idk, not really the meta game changer for me that he is for everyone else. I'll stick to the puppet who wants a heart of his own and a little seed of hope that became a god for my main DPS personally.

[@jason3114]

I think sucrose would be better in a dendro team. And about kazuha, he's really good but only for shred and buffs, his cc is only good for small enemies like venti but you have to position yourself better. Also although there are some overlaps, venti and him have very different team possibilities because they don't do the same thing(venti is mainly a battery and cc character). I love both of them tho, couldn't imagine not having either.

[@DefinitelyNotAFerret]

I lowkey want c6 venti, but the only team I use him in won’t benefit too much from him being c6 😭

[@philkersonchong9848]

You dont like kazuha who can group up the loot in one place with just his E?

[@ThePassionofRoses]

@@jason3114 LMAO you're tempting me to retire Kazuha all together and give Sucrose a try xD but yeah I just overall prefer Venti's play style over Kazuha's. And ofc Wanderer is so fun to play.

I have c6 Itto, and he is by far my best character. He's so good. I think he wouldn't be that great at c0, but starting at c2 he gets really good.

[@1234luf]

Pretty much agree with this list except for Yae. Saying that nobody else does the totem gameplay isn't true with Fishl, Yao Yao, Xiangling, Chiori, Furina all having this style while using less on field time. Heck, Raiden does it without the need of being stuck in circle impact... Now that I think about it, Emilie is basically a power crept version of Yae in a different element.

[@NikocadosPopeyesChickenSandwic]

Plz don’t compare yae and Emile 😅

[@1234luf]

@@NikocadosPopeyesChickenSandwic why not? they are both totem sub dps except Emile is better as she refreshes with burst while Yae needs to spend field time to refresh 3 times every cycle. Emilie is easier and does more damage, a literal power creep.

[@NikocadosPopeyesChickenSandwic]

@@1234luf she’s more comparable to fischl

[@1234luf]

@@NikocadosPopeyesChickenSandwic Not sure what your point is, obviously Yae is similar to Fishcl as they are the identical element. I originally stated that the issue with Jello's assessment of Yae was that she was unique, which she is not. I included several examples of totem gameplay, which includes Emilie.

[@NikocadosPopeyesChickenSandwic]

@@1234luf yae and fischl aren’t really comparable as their team roles are different yae is for a brute force character and does actually have good teams now , fischl is a support through and through who can battery a team and fill in reactions, Emile and fischl kits are extremely similar and their QoL is the same snapshot,q refreshes skill, low energy req, etc yae really doesn’t fit in that role

[@adrianmeneses5309]

Finally somebody who talks about how much of a detriment it is for a character to have the most useful part of their kit locked behind an energy requirement, which all it means it one more stat to balance. You can even see it now in Natlan they do must of their useful stuff with just their skill

Whale for cons is actually just a tier for op characters lol

[@guyonyoutube501]

The only character I regret is Tartaglia. I do not like his playstyle as much as I though I would. Another one would be Hu Tao, but I love her so much as a character, I might still pull. As for cons, I love Ayaka, but I would leave her at C0 (she's C2).

[@erin-87]

100% agree on Klee. I was lucky enough to get her on ONE PITY the last chronicled wish banner. I’m definitely getting as many cons as I can when Wriothesley finally comes back. He’s the reason I started playing, my favvvvv, so he deserves all his cons.

As a Cyno main, he is fun and EXTREMELY strong when he is super invested and is paired with Furina, Nahida, and Baizhu. If you want to main him, you have to really want it, but it pays off. Not F2P friendly, but fun.

[@nationalgeografic7687]

All this is true except "not f2p friendly"

[@pinkraven7043]

This will get me some hate, but out of everyone I've ever pulled for the only one I do regret is Ayaka. And it wasn't intentional either. It happened in the last re-run she had alongside Navia. I wanted constellations for my Sucrose (because I adore her) and I made the mistake of pulling on Ayaka's banner for Sucrose. I wasn't in Fontaine at the time so I didn't know who Navia was (I was still exploring Sumeru like a chump). Came out with C1 Sucrose and an Ayaka I didn't want. I did use her as my main Cryo DPS at the time, but I didn't find her as fun to play compared to my other teams. Now that I know (and now have) Navia, I wish I could go back in time and dumped all my primos on her banner rather than Ayaka's. I've pulled for Itto and Cyno because I genuinely enjoy them as characters- I don't play either of them anymore. I even pulled recently for Emilie because I liked her character quest. I pulled for Sigewinne for the same reason. Ayaka? She's one of the few characters in Genshin I genuinely do not like and my opinion of her has only worsened over the years. I know a lot of people adore her (and even Hoyoverse seems to favor here) but I am sorry Ayaka fans. She's as entertaining/endearing as shaved ice without any syrup to me. She...Exists and every time she shows up I almost forget she's there. Doesn't help that I think she is an example of some of the worst writing decisions in Inazuma's AQ. (But if it makes anyone feel better, I think Ayato is even worse.) So...Yeah she's really the only character I genuinely regret wasting Primos on.

[@octogirl1140]

I have to agree with you on Ayaka, I will probably never be pulling for her, I find her extremely boring as a character and I also despise her play stay. I played her character quest and honestly I was yawning my way through her entire quest. I haven’t had any bad experiences with Ayaka, I just don’t like her character. I have never stated over the internet that I dislike Ayaka to an extreme amount, because I have also feared of how much hate I would get from the Genshin community, but I’m willing to say it here, because I have finally found someone who actually shares my opinion about her. She will forever always be my least favorite Genshin character and I will never be pulling for her ever and I don’t have a problem with that.

[@zoeb3573]

I don't know about her gameplay, but I really did not like her story quest. In the Archon quest she's "fine" as someone trying to help against the decree, although I prefer Thoma, but her story quest is basically just "woe is me, I'm rich". Just constantly complaining about how her position of privilege is bad actually because she can't go to festivals (even though when she does not only no one stops her but they keep it going just for her) and no one gets to know her, even though it seems they'd love to, and she has Thoma? It just was too much whining for my taste.

[@littleghast32]

I pulled Ayaka back then because she was a good character and I needed a cryo dps. Now, I have an actual cryo dps that I love (Wriothesley) and now Ayaka is benched with good artifacts and triple crowned and level 90. I really regret it.

[@coolpotato7633]

I agree!! I don’t remember why i pulled. Thought she was unlikeable, but some youtuber probably convinced me… then I god damm 2 copies of her in my pull!. So I am forcing myself to play her… I even bought her new clothes, just so she looked cuter. Uugghh still don’t like her very much…

[@MagmaSpacer]

@@zoeb3573Kind of telling how you basically think just before someone is financially well off they can’t have problems. 🤷‍♂️ Now is she THE most interesting character? No. But she’s sweet and her quest was actually about her. Her wanting to experience what normal people do can be relatable to both rich and poor. That and her wanting to know about her mother’s friend to then learn about her mom itself, showing a desire to actually live life is powerful. I don’t fully understand why you would have issue’s gameplay wise though. Not only does she make ice bridging places easier for travel, having the most unique dash in the game, but also she’s the only character to incorporate the dash mechanic. If you don’t like freeze though then sure I guess, but it’s a personal favorite to collect units, freeze then shred. Also it’s funny how you can deplete lector shields and such by just dashing at them. It’s funny.

C1 Sigewinne's ascension passive is capable of outscaling Shehue's ice quills. Imo, Sigewinne has a lot of potential synergy w/Furina for double resonace teams, and have had great success with Navia/Chiori/Sige/Furina.

[@chickbowdrie4750]

I'm surprised you didn't mention how utterly broken and game-changing for Wriothesley his C-1 is. It's to the point that you might as well not get him if you don't have C-1. It's widely considered the most beneficial 5* C-1 in the entire game. That said, it's not necessary to get other cons, so he's kind of situated between "Spend to secure" and "whale".

[@charlottep315]

I think do not regret pulling for anyone, even if I don’t use them much anymore, I have used everyone to an extent. It probably because I don’t pull for sake of meta I unironically like using all charge bow characters, especially Lyney, he is so comfortable to use compared to Hutao in my opinion. It helps that mine is C2 I guess lol

[@ynnaD2413]

I do agree with the 5 star Dps units just being whoever you like. I’d even argue u can use 4 star Dps to fill in the IT (new end game mode) if you need more help it’s for dps roll like yanfei, ningyuang, sethos, etc. of course not the best but they will fill the role so u can focus on working on the Dps units that you really enjoy.

I also realised after getting Neuvillette that i dont really care for the way he plays compared to other DPS characters, but similar to Yoimiya i really love his personality and backstory etc, so ive never regretted it (+ even with my not-that-great build hes insanely strong, and i like having a proper hydro dps that isnt Childe)

[@G82_Mie]

Friendly reminder: The only regret would be not pulling for who you like the most, as someone who didn’t spend money and pulled for meta only you can get burned out real quick, don’t feel obligated to pull a character you don’t enjoy… you’ll clear the content quite easily regardless with enough care and investment, (also the meta often changes) I regret pulling Venti instead of Kazuha, yes, everybody loves Kazuha and as soon as he came out every fucking content creator “strongly suggested” to go for him since he was clearly the strongest character at the time, oh well, Venti released in 1.0, no shit, even though Kazuha nowadays is still great Xilonen is much superior. (Not debatable) In the end pull for whoever you like the most.

[@rixyz7013]

Ayaka def stronger than wrio. Ayaka deserves to be higher

[@Thanos-Cassoulet]

You can only have 1 main dps per team where you can fit 2/3 so my advice would be to pull for unique support and buffers in priority cause has we've seen with fontaine dps characters get powercreep by newer characters. Pulling for the strongest dps at the moment might no be the right call cause a stronger one might come out next patch: Ganyu, Ayaka, Ayato, alhaithem, Hu Tao, Itto used to be considered the strongest dps until Wrio, neuvilette, kinich, arlechino, navia. Honnestly fontaine characters kinda ruin some of my favorite characters with the powercreep. I prefer the direction they took with Natlan so far by creating new unique playstyle and kit instead of raw damage.

[@idontknowletmesee7063]

Who else loves ayakas sprint. I have ayakas c6 I love her! I understand that this video is biased and so am I, but saying she’s in the ‘skip’ is genuinely baffling. She’s a character that can do good dmg (better than wrio most of the time) but since she’s cryo I wouldn’t outright recommend her.

I'm enjoying this video. I've been thinking about what characters I regret. I literally just got Emilie C0R1 and I'm wondering whether I am regretting it or not. It'll be hard to tell until we've gotten some of those Natlan characters tho. I've still got 400+ wishes saved and 5.0/5.1 + Anniversary will bring a ton more, and I hope that Burning turns out to be a legit, not-so-niche playstyle... because if not, then I will regret the 272 wishes I spent.

[@yptrumpet]

Ah, you said something in the end that was one of the reasons I got Emilie. On-field DPSes are too many, but a strong off-field DPS is useful anywhere they can slot in. This is true in the Abyss and particularly true in Imaginarium Theater. Still hoping she doesn't end up super niche and plays well with those upcoming Pyro Natlan characters.

[@Idkinsertsomething]

I have good news for you that Emilie is viable with Kinich, especially with his signature that requires Burn/Burgeon to trigger it's passive so if you're going to main him she'll be a good pick up for him though not exactly necessary if you have Furina who's a more universal unit that also works well for him and if you otherwise don't plan to pull on him, also that's a delicious amount of wishes you have

[@kamicokrolock]

@@yptrumpet The thing with Emilie is that she is an off field dps not a support and the burn reaction is just important to trigger her passive. Once her passive is activated her damage is just her raw damage (it's like superconduct for Eula). So in that regards it makes her extremely flexible and viable on any team that can include a burning trigger: Mono pyro variants, melt, vape, and even teams like Aggravate and Burdgeon If your aim is a more Soup like set up. My personal favorite is burning melt Ganyu. I previously did not have a decent of field dendro applier to keep burning active so Ganyu could consistently melt (Nahida just doesn't work well for me and my controller). Emilie not only fills this role but also does a sh&t ton of her own damage that was enough to 36 star the current abyss with this team.

[@padung6018]

I have Emilie and used her on Imaginarium Theater, and her being off-field is a blessing. Even though I like Alhaitham, I like that's she a comfortable character to use and I tend to use her more often than Alhaitham now.

The only thing I would change about this: Switch Ayaka with Wriothesley (or put him to F2P and Ayaya to C0). I don't enjoy his playstyle, while I love my Ayaya Freeze team - and that without a Shenhe. She is one of the 3 characters on my account that I wouldn't want to miss (the other two being Nahida and Kazuha). And while Cyno is the last character I really want and have saved for because I like his character and design so much, I understand everyone who would put him in skip or regret because his playstyle isn't...great.
