I'll kindly summarize this list for you all. Is the character meta? Didn't regret pulling. Is the character not meta? Regret pulling, or kinda regret pulling.

[@nobodycaresaboutheparty]

it can just be that meta characters are usually a lot more rewarding to play and can fit anywhere, so after years of genshin you end up gravitating towards them

[@earthbit.]

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.

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.

[@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

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!

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.

I think sucrose would be better in a dendro team.

Well you will learn not to pre-farm unless garanted

[@jezuteru]

It's true that some character lose their value as the game progresses. if i make a new account *now* i'll probably skip venti too, but if i were to go back to ver 1.0 i will still pull for venti. He trivialize most contents and he doesn't have a lot of competition in his niche at the time other than sucrose and anemo mc. Sure we have more cc options now but even so i still use him in abyss and imaginarium theater where i have to defend monolith so yeah eventho he's not as necessary as he was back then it's still nice to have him around

[@schmiggidy]

Agree with every single hero placement on this list EXCEPT one: I'd put Ganyu in the C0 tier. After all these years, she can STILL get the job done!

[@carlosleite7011]

Can you tell me what is the background soundtrack when you start talking about Nilou, Shenhe, Raiden... ? (5:17) It is the only soundtrack that i did not recognize on this video, and i liked it !

[@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.

[@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

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

[@Miyabi_1511]

Thx bro for covering tierlist in the end

[@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)

[@pukipuki6712]

like i dont understand i whale on every charecter and my itto is one of the best dps's is yours just built bad?

[@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

[@catcatcat8]

Tbh for theater you mostly need supports And I really agree with this list

[@zoramarslink5788]

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.

[@raineblackstar3522]

I'm just waiting for Chasca to release. I'm on guarantee after winning on Baizhu and i just want my Rosaria x Clorinde incarnate.

[@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

[@DaDevid]

I'm a genshin newbie, I'm still learning several things but I have a doubt: right now I'm accumulating primogems but I wonder should I wait for the perfect banner? What if a chara I want comes out in 7 months should I block myself for that long? Thank you.

[@polus134]

Interesting concept however if the idea was to go from patch 1 to now with this knowledge I'd still get my hutao and homa. She has carried me through every bit of content since i got her and all the way up until arle came out.

[@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

[@foreuutton7800]

Great video dude, really like seeing these kinds of conversations being had. Speak your truth! Hahaha

[@danielschomburg2140]

Of all the characters I own on my account Yelan is the one I have debated the most on getting her C1. Sadly I passed last banner because I figured I should get Emily if anything because rumors were she is going to be cracked with Mavuika. Now here I am sitting on my guarantee with over 260 wishes still waiting for Mavuika and 50 wishes primed on weapon banner. I think I messed up.

[@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.

[@Desticy]

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

[@iceflower7004]

Shenhe is kinda rough bc she only buffs like 7 instances of an attack, so she doesn’t really help that many cryo users, as her skill has a big cooldown but you use up the buff so fast

[@coldhazzard]

The only one I regret is HuTao even if I like her theme. I just irrationally hate her play style. What I don't regret is getting her weapon that I got as collateral. On the flip side, I really dislike Baizhu but I'm neutral with having him on my account. He just does something unique. I got him and his weapon super early even if neither were my target. There's plenty more that I rarely use anymore but they gave me the best times of my genshin life and I don't regret having them sit around like a trophy at all. Thank you, Venti, Xiao, Itto. ❤

[@sksandipmurmu4]

Bro just reminded me to play Genshin again...

Love to see the new tier list after Natlan and especially the release of Xilonen.

[@impostorsyndrome1350]

Could you do updated "which constellations are broken" list like you used to? With Fontaine, and now Natlan coming in, I feel like so many constellations moved up the list, and many moved down due to things like Furina and Neuvillette existing. Those series were goated and I really liked watching them.

[@zillo1600]

Same with Ayaka. Never touched her again after getting Wriothesley. I just need his C1 and maybe his weapon.

[@rixyz7013]

I got c4 r1 ayaka and I’ll never regret

[@Error403HRD]

As a Venti Main, I'm very sad. I use him as a main dps on a Hypercarry Team and several variations of auto-attack spam teams (god i love mika), but he's a wonderful support, especially for Floor 11 (even more so if you build him DPS so he can do single target damage too). Currently saving for his C6, also have a budget of about $500 if i need to whale.

[@Misterkaz]

Funny things but one day I remembered that I had Ayato and i still don't really know why i pulled for him, maybe i wanted a Hydro DPS. The only Hydro dps at the moment was Childe and i don't want this character. I regret Cyno Eula and Ayato (I got Cyno C1 because i did the free pull of the month to build pity and i got him like 3 wish after i get him)

[@ivann9924]

Tighnari and Lyney belongs to the same tier, which i mean is they have characters that out DPS them in their elements. Namely Alhaitham and Arlecchino, but their gameplay is fun and incredibly stylish

[@InMyAbyss]

DUDE YOU'RE RATHGMS, TY FOR YOUR GUIDES

[@MrStrawberryPucca]

I dont think theres any characters i regret honestly. I pretty much never use Yoimiya (i already had Hu Tao when i got her) but i really love her character so im still glad i got her. 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)

[@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.

[@NecronHandlee]

miko was my first 5 star, at 15 pity i dont regret trying my luck right at the very start of the game, she carried me very far

[@FTLNewsFeed]

A clear view of the list would have been nice at the end.

[@HPFireYT]

I think my only regret is Hutao because I pulled her early game when I didn’t really know how the gacha system worked and just pulled whenever I had enough primos. Turns out I don’t like how she plays at all lol. She’s been on my account for ages with barely any use 😔

[@will_graham]

Love the racoons all over the place, great video editing too. Subbed

[@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).

[@Yelan-n8d]

The only characters I regret pulling are Ayato & Navia. My solo C1 Wrio does more dmg than my ayato team. As for Navia, I don’t enjoy playing her anymore despite having a cracked build for her.

[@jatyfd8445]

Natlan mostly focus on burning reaction.. So I'm pulling emilie😊my arle keep dying because of burning from grass🤬that's why I need emilie

[@HellenicBarrister]

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.

[@RyuuAF]

I've been playing since 1.0 and don't regret a single character so i'd still pull for all of the same characters i already have lol

[@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.

[@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.

[@yptrumpet]

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.

[@AzureDrag0n1]

I think the only character I regret pulling is Itto. If I were were to start over then I would skip some characters I do not regret pulling but I just would not find them necessary anymore or I would want to try something different like Albedo. The one I am hung up on is if I would skip Childe or not again. I probably would because of Neuvillette. He covers the hydro AoE dps niche and I have played Childe extensively for 3 years already. One of my most used limited 5 stars. I regret not pulling Shenhe so I would absolutely pull her now. I skipped Emile now but I would probably pull her if starting over. Mostly because she is an off-field Dendro applier like Fischl. I do dislike that she must be paired with pyro though but it seems like this is going to be a thing in the nation of Pyro going forward as her off-field dps is quite potent. She can sort of serve as another pyro applier like Xiangling but needs to be paired with some sort of pyro application which can be slow like Deyha or Thoma which conveniently also serve as defensive options like how Bennett would be paired with Xiangling.
