Mistakes Every Genshin Player Might Have Made

[@Ratheil]

I will never forgive Yae Miko for this.

[@TheReaIestOne]

She pranked you.😂

[@samuelcastillo5246]

*Evil laugh* *Smug Yae intensifies*

[@presente2595]

I feel you man... I had 2 wishes and FUCKING 17 PITY, and waiting for Raiden, but I just wanted a Layla or something. AND AT THE FIRST WISH A GET A GOLD AND I DIDN'T REALIZED BECAUSE SKIPED IT AND A YAE MIKO APEARS ON MY SREEN. Never build pity because this could happen to you. (Edit) Also I forgot to add...I JUST GOT NAHIDA I WON A FUCKING 50/50.

[@nnik345]

Thats what i thought about Kokomi when I got her while wishing for Xingqiu on her first banner. But after using her, I dont regret it

[@lunasquib]

You can give her C1 to me cuz I want C1 also

[@DNAbro]

Counterpoint: letting your resin cap is fine. Trust me, your life will not change if it’s capped. Worrying about it will probably just make you more stressed out.

[@Sofisasam]

fr best decision in my genshin life was to allow me to let my resin cap. The game feels much more chill and honestly i dont think im missing out on anythingd cause all my artefacts are trash anyway💀

[@Haxelmoon]

Thanks I’ve been feeling like that but I’d rather use it to lvl characters and their talents mora exp books using it for artifacts made me feel depressed and burnt out no longer having fun or felt like my account is moving forward

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

The reason why people don't want to allow their resin to cap is because it's a finite resource which creates a feedback loop, if you don't use it, you don't get more and if you don't get more all your other resources that you need to fully beat the game, and build more characters that you play the game for, dwindle. Other than that, yes, I agree.

[@azuarc]

When the game launched, the cap wasn't 160. It was 120. I started logging in obsessively, checking my resin more or less around the clock, which established a very unhealthy relationship with the game. It's true there's 180 resin per day, and so you'll "lose" 1/9 of it if you let yourself cap, but for most people that's a small price to pay for a little bit of sanity.

[@d9xd425]

I stopped worrying about cap long time ago., now I can play other games worry free.

[@xeenproof2024]

Everytime I "tried to build pity", I always go in with the thought: "I'd consider getting ANY 5* at 20 pity a win so go ahead game."

[@Saiku]

Same.

[@Ghalion666]

I tried to simultaneously build pity and get Diona when she first came out since I needed that shield, and didnt care for childe since he was considered a whale's 5star. I failed to get diona, and got childe after 40 pulls (which is where I said I will stopnin advance to be "safe", and it was the ONLY time I ever got a 5star before hard pity. Needless to say Im still bitter about that. Fortunately HSR is being much much nicer to me. I already got 4 5stars (though one is himeko lol), and I got 2 of them after just 30-something pulls, and 2 at around 70. That and I won the 50/50 both times on event banner.

[@snekksuperior]

[@titaniummechsx3324]

Building pity is a way to deceive yourself to gamble more

[@reformeddoomer6777]

Glad I'm able to control myself. It's my first time ever saving primogems for a character and it feels liberating. Sitting at 15.5k and I'm so proud! Happy to say I got him and his weapon! I got C2 wanderer and C6 faruzan!

[@DreadedFangs]

Most I ever saved was around 16k if i recall correctly and that was for raiden and kokomi on their release. I saved for kazuha rerun and had around 12-13k and havent reached that number since but now that I got yae I'm back to saving for shenhe or baizhu (whichever comes first). Looking forward to what the number will reach this time lol.

[@cybot1483]

I had 17k primos and i got bored so i threw them all at childe, ig it worked out cos i 36 starred the hardest abyss for the first time

[@kurodo9926]

I had 40k in pulls because there was a huge downtime on character I wanted and I got really lucky with Nilou (got her in 3 pulls)

[@livelinklearn4570]

Saving for Scara, and I’ve never saved like this before lol, I have 12.3k primos

[@darthpoco3562]

I'm on 22K

[@doug3454]

Wasting fragiles definitely hits home. I spent way too many fragiles on the Unreconciled Stars event (thank the archons they changed it so we don't have to spend resin for event rewards) because I really wanted Fischl and was extremely impatient (and I was new so didn't really understand how stuff works)... And then right when the event ended, I pulled Fischl C1 on standard.

[@Purplorr]

OH MY GOD i forgot how spending resin on timed events was a thing, that's scary.

[@otpravitel2426]

nostalgia bro. even forgot myself I did that same thing

[@BunBros]

This hits so much for me. I lost so much resin because of that darn event. Same with primo gems

[@nizarahmad3912]

oh my god i fell this in spiritual level. I wish i knew better at that time. So much fragile resins wasted :(

[@Suriyakeng]

That's also my biggest mistake ever in Genshin.

[@GentleIceZ]

If I had a nickle for every time I "tried to build pity" and immediately got a 5 star in my first 10 roll, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice (yes, this really happened. I got Diluc in 2 wishes on Kazuha's first banner and Mona in 7 wishes on Hu Tao's 2.3 rerun)

[@luckyjc8702]

That's not really a loss tho if it's that low, also you even lost the 50-50 which is good cuz free guarantee for the next char. Building pity only really hurts if you accidentally waste a guarantee on 5* you don't want, or if you win 50-50 early but quite late (like >40-50 pity) on a 5* you don't want. I never consider it a loss if you lose your 50-50 while building pity.

[@Strashky]

@@luckyjc8702 i also dont call it a loss if u win the 50 on like 20 pulls. only if u waste ur guarantee or get something u dont want at 50+ pulls

[@Dyslexicx]

happened to me three times, twice on hutao, i lost 5050 to jean at 76 then got hutao 3 later, qiqi 7 later and on miko it was first 10 pull when what i did want was sayu and fischl

[@speedgushthesanyboysuperho9429]

Wow can't imagine

[@mischarowe]

Well at least it got you a guarantee.

[@kasuha]

Building pity is not something you should plan to do but it may be something you realize you have done afterwards. But that doesn't mean you cannot pull on banners of 5-stars you don't plan to get, just make sure you're ok with every potential outcome. I was pulling on Miko's banner for Layla and I successfully got Layla and no 5-star. But if I got Miko I'd be happy because I don't have her, and if I lost 50:50 I'd be happy because I'd have next 5-star guaranteed after early 5-star. And if I got nothing after 30 pulls I allocated to it, I'd have built my pity. That's a win-win-win-win scenario.

[@browniesansnoix]

I totally agree! I believe building pity is a bad thing, but if you're okay with the worst possible outcome, then you should do it. On my alt on which I have Yae and Yoimiya, and I'm saving for Raiden, I pulled a tiny bit on every banner this patch : Yoimiya, Yae and their weapons. I was extremely lucky that I got only the 4 stars that I wanted, Rust, Stringless and Heizou. But in the end I was a little disappointed that I didn't get punished for doing it because I wouldn't have minded any of the 5 stars... Especially C1 Yae... I guess it always happens this way when you're in a win-win scenario (:

[@juubijinchuuriki7302]

Wanted yoimiya and didn't get her because I lost to keqing, which also works out because I main keqing, but kept wishing for yomiya and still didn't get her but it help build to getting childe

[@foxfm1987ult]

I am kinda in a cursed situation. The characters i needed are ayaka and kokomi. But the reason I am wishing is that I want to lose a 50/50 so that then I can build up my primogems. Problem is that I am now in a 3 50/50 win streak. Got yae miko, Raiden and now Alhaitham. Miko and Alhaitham are just sitting doing nothing while I replaced fishcl with raiden. I am doing it not for build pity but for me to lose a 50/50 so that I can guarantee my next 5 star is the one I want. Also WHERE IS AYAKA'S RERUN???

[@kasuha]

@@foxfm1987ult My suggestion is, stop trying to lose 50:50 and instead save your primogems for that. Meaning collect some 28k primogems, that way you could pull for the character you want and if you lose 50:50 on it, you will still have enough to keep going and get it as guarantee. And if you win the 50:50, then you'll be left with primogems you can use to start building another such pile for next character you'll want.

[@foxfm1987ult]

@@kasuha But thats the thing. In the kokomi rerun I tried so hard to get her, only to get mona(whom I hate). Then I got nahida and has been in this streak. My next only target is ayaka and thats the issue, nobody knows if she will get a rerun or not. And unless its a 5 star I don't need, if any new characters gets my attention, it i have a guarenteed chance I can get them. As soon as i lose another 50/50, I will stop wishing completely until ayaka comes in

[@underdrow5572]

I think there's a difference between building pity and trying to snipe a four star. Building Pity happens because of wishing addiction, sniping a four star is just that, trying to get a four star, but it can still burn you just as much as building pity can.

I did risky pulls on Xiao's banner once, because I wanted a 4-stars, as I didn't have any of the 3 promoted ones at the time. I was intending to stop when I reach soft pity, but then I "won" 50/50 at exactly 70 pity, 9 pulls in, before getting even a single 4-star. i learned my lesson.

[@ruska9831]

The beginning got me. I literally got Yae Miko yesterday. I was at 32 pity, guaranteed a banner 4 star, no 5 star guarantee. I did singles, to stop at the first sign of a four star. I got Yae Miko at 37 pulls. Oh, and the four star I got right after, pulling singles out of frustration because "well now I have her, it can't get worse"? Thoma. Glad to see I'm not the only one. I never pulled on a banner whose 5 star I didn't want before. And now, I never will again. Lesson learned. Thanks for being a relatable KZbinr with great content that can distract me as my handguards slowly close in on zero.

[@tsmokes5687]

I built pity when I was trying to get constellations for Xingqiu on Eula’s first banner. I was at 20 or so pity, got my last five stars super early and just got Zhongli, so I thought there was no way in hell that I’d get Eula. At the time I also wanted Klee and read leaks that she’d get a rerun. I ended up getting Eula at 28 pity. It worked out though since I would’ve gotten Klee as the alternative which now I know is the worst thing ever, so I failed successfully. And got a copy of Xingqiu after I got Eula so even bigger bonus.

It's true, that is more or less regular wishing. Building pity refers to rolling for wanted 4 stars on a banner where you absolutely do not want the 5 star but you're working towards soft/hard pity for the next banner with the 5 star you actually want.

[@Rhitzs]

Back on Kokomi's Rerun, I tried to get Dori so i somewhat tried to build pity and hoped to lose 50/50 but ended up getting Kokomi early but i didn't regret it cause she's a good Hydro applicator and a walking statue of the seven. I got Dori in the end at 55th pull :v Btw Kokomi was my 2nd character that i won 50/50, Eula was my 1st on her release :v

[@olphisarchival]

I never do "building pity" unless I don't mind getting the character, just like what I did with the current banner where I got Yae. I never regret it since I know that she would work pretty good with Nahida

I don't pull to build pity. I pull because I like it when the shooting star changes colors. It makes my heart jump.

I “built pity” once, 1.4 windblume festival, wanted Childe but got Venti instead this is an insanely amazing loss imo because I’m a lot happier with Venti than I would’ve been with Childe but thankfully that helped me learn 😭😭 now I only ever save, don’t let the gacha addiction screw you over

[@anthonyowens8822]

Ironically the only time I have “built pity” on a banner was on the original Raiden Shogun banner because I wanted Sucrose and Xiangling constellations. I didn’t have any interest in the Raiden Shogun but I ended up getting her early in pity. It was the best mistake that I have ever made in Genshin.

I once built pity on Yoi's banner. At the time, I've lost 50/50 to Batman, and I thought, yeah I'm gonna save this for 3.0. Did like 7 pulls, and she came home. It was bitter sweet, I knew I won't get a Zhongli at that time, but at the same time I've always wanted Yoi too. She ended up being my main DPS ever since. It's a good thing it was Yoi. I can't imagine if it would be like a Klee or Xiao. Ever since that day, I learned my lesson, and I never build pity ever again in my whole life.

[@123leyang321]

Building pity isn't an issue. The issue is doing it while you have a guarantee. 50-50 will still be 50-50. Just because you won accidentally in a banner of a character you didn't want it doesn't mean you would've won that same roll in the banner of the character you did want. That said, if you want to guarantee a character you REALLY want, then save for 180 pulls for them.

[@zianawind2970]

Mistake 1.. getting stressed over a Game. 2 over spending ( u should be getting useful stuff in life) 3 over thinking instead of having fun playing a game

[@PrimeEpoch]

For a lot of these things, it's only a mistake if you care about optimisation/min maxing. I personally 90 and triple crown all of my favourite characters, even ones that don't need 90 like shenhe and don't need talent levels like kazuha. As long as you're having fun and you know what you're doing, it ain't a mistake. At worst, it's inefficient.

[@ciciamanda.]

same here, i also dont prioritize artifact grinding because i dont find it fun. My characters have half decent artifacts and they work just fine for exploration and domains (not focusing on abyss rn cause people pressured me to build meta so i lost my enthusiasm for it) Realizing that i didnt need to play the game with optimization in mind made the game a lot more fun for me

[@fafnirable1]

Building pity has yet to hurt me because I'm not "lucky" enough to get early 5 stars too often. It also doesn't hurt that I only pull on banners if I want the character, so I guess I just stopped pulling for pity

[@MojtaAS]

maybe its just me but i appreciate the early 5 stars no matter what they are even if i get a qiqi that just means my next 5 star is 100% so instead of needing 160 total pulls now i need 80-90 which as an F2P is really good really saves up a lot of gems also since we have double banners most of the time one of the 5 stars will have good constellations that'd be nice to have like yae's C1 as seen in this video

[@Venitas751]

The concept of "building pity" is kinda funny, considering that you have a better chance of getting what u want if u just wait for the banner to come out. Just build pity on the literal banner u want to wish for since u don't save time/resource by doing it sooner and you have a higher chance of wasting your primos in you don't wait >.>

[@dyscalculic]

I did this on the Shenhe banner. I just wanted a Yunjin because I thought she was cute, got Shenhe on the 2nd 10 pull...I don't regret having her, I just wish she wasn't so niche.

[@rambutan7768]

For me, accidentally getting a 5-star character (standard or otherwise) within the first 20 pulls is really good. It's a chance to get the 4* characters/constellations that you want. Overall it's still a lot of value. Pulling beyond 20 is just slowly making yourself into a joke with the excuse of "building pity".

[@bai_reina]

Ok so about building pity: i set a rule for myself, if i REALLY want one or two of the 4* on the banner, but i don’t want a 5*, i just do 1 ten pull (only if i am below 20 pity already and don’t have 100%). That way you can possibly get a 4* that you want and don’t get a 5*. And even if you get it, you did only 1 ten pull, it’s a win/win situation actually. If i don’t get what i want in that 10 pull, i just stop and wait for the 5* that i actually want. I got Heizou today, 0 pity, 1 ten pull and he is finally home, i also want Layla, but i would rather wait for her rerun.

[@namura8904]

The "building qiqi" one hit me hard lmao My qiqi who is lvl 90 and with 10 10 9 talents be like:

[@myhr2320]

The funny thing is that the perception toward characters is as skewed as the perception about what is a good (not great) artifact, in the community. Building Qiqi isn't a mistake as long as it doesn't prevent you from reaching your goals in Genshin. If you aim at clearing the Abyss and have build characters that can reliably do so, then you cannot make a mistake by building another character, by definition.

[@Elven_Red]

You are one crown away from becoming a legend, king

[@Aurora_veil1580]

This is all wonderful advice. Especially the artifact stuff. You can definitely heighten your standards to ridiculous crit roles and such... after you have decent pieces already. And sometimes pieces that look bad end up rolling crit 4 times... If I had to add one thing to this- it's for players to account for five star artifacts with four substats at level 0. It might only have one good substat- but again it has an extra roll because it started at four which increases your chances of it being the substat you want. That sort of piece deserves more recognition than some people give them.

Building pity was actually not a bad strategy at all during the 1.x times, when you had banners with Sucrose+Xiangling+XQ. Every ten pull was basically a winner and they were arguably more valuable in the long run than the 5 five stars that were on it. Now, the banners are so polluted with garbage (Thoma, Sayu, Heizou, Dori, Sara, Collei, Layla...and the list will only get longer) that it is barely worth the risk at all.

[@acesenpai6971]

Heizou? Garbage?

[@onetrickponysona2613]

heizou isn't garbage my dude

[@SundaysWifey]

sara isnt even bad if you own a shogun or literally use any electro dps layla isn't even bad shes a shielder and just bc she doesn't do 500k per tick doesn't mean shes not a great cryo applicator and shielder. heizou is fine he's not niche and he hits pretty hard if that's what you're worried about.. using the same 4 stars in a game full of so many characters is gonna gett boring as fuck

[@luckyjc8702]

Sara has her niche if you get her to c6, and now burgeon thoma also works well as a niche although his cons doesn't do much. Sayu is super valuable for the first copy since she's god-tier for exploration but her cons are useless. As for the rest though, yeah. Heizou/Dori/Collei/Layla/Candace/etc just aren't too useful. You can make use of them if you like them, but meta-wise they don't offer anything unique and there are chars better than them for the same role. Personally I'd rather have a banner with all 4* that I already have c6 on, so I get more starglitter refunds. Much better than getting cons on 4* I will never build and use.

[@squee-g1658]

None of em ain’t bad tho (I don’t know a thoma since I don’t use him or see him in co op)

[@Ganjau]

I always just do a 10 pull on every banner in case I get lucky or just to get something. Honestly I’ll take whatever I get including the standard characters or weapons

[@DeVoidAS]

If you're just starting out, its actually best to focus building one or two high dps units to the max instead of building supports. It allows you to have them carry your team through the early ARs where resources are scarce. Once they get to the endgame, then building supports become the main priority because the game is called SUPPORT IMPACT for a reason lol

[@browniesansnoix]

At a low AR the best you can do is give as much ER as you can to your Xiangling, slap an Instructor set and the Fav Bow on your Amber or use a Bennet (with Instructor too) if you have one, take your Barbara or any other hydro you may have (except maybe Candace) and everything will die peacefully... I don't think main DPS is a very good term for low AR players... I mean, who is a main or at least an on-field DPS in the starters? C0 Noelle?

[@DeVoidAS]

@@browniesansnoix xiangling is the main DPS in the starters since she does the most dmg. Unless you're talking about pre AR20, then yea, Noelle and especially Kaeya are generally good enough to carry the player through that period since I believe they only made the abyss into two halves after like chamber 5 or sth so you only really need one team. I also remember Anemo traveler slapping a lot for me early on so yea, before XL its generally not a that bad Plus, new players generally would've wished for a five star at the start, and most of them can carry the team quite well (unless its Qiqi or sth)

Building pity ironically gave me Kazuha on his first banner (Although I didn't really know how pity worked, I just wanted Bennett and I didn't get him). Then on his rerun I tried to get at least c0 Heizou... I got 2 Kazuha and 1 Jean, both in very early pity (Like 20-30 pulls at most) but yeah, no Heizou.

[@kiwicrackers4194]

This is what happened to me during Thoma release on Hu Tao rerun banner. Around 40 pity count and guaranteed, I was like "Well I never get early anyway, a ten pull won't hurt right? :D" Then I see gold and I swore at myself to never become a slave to my own desire again.

@@dhruvagarwal7854 Would be nice if that's the case... the thing is: 1) It's C0 (I wasn't planning to pull Hu Tao, I wanted Thoma) 2) I was saving my guaranteed for Albedo 3) I don't like Hu Tao's playstyle So yeah that was a big slap on my face. 💀

Hu Tao has the best C1 in game besides Bennett. She's the only 5 star character that I want a c1 of. Edit: just read your comment above 😂

I remember people telling me I was the one making a huge mistake using the strong box, but it really proves its worth, even when we did have limited sets

[@ezzyshian]

BUILDING PITY IS A DELUSION! No matter what pity you're in, it's basically the wishes you spent. When you're in pity 74, it means you've used 74 wishes MEANING you should've had 74 wishes on the banner you REALLY want and possibly got early 5* or even cons if you keep saving from there

[@myhr2320]

Exactly, there is no such thing as building pity, you're just rolling on the current banner and that's it.

[@itslevi2334]

Can't relate with the first one. I don't get 5 stars before 75. It has only happened twice for my account and one of them was my 5 star which is kinda just beginner's luck most gacha games have.

[@paulyvii]

Biggest mistake is wishing for a new 4 star on a banner when you're on a guaranteed pity, close to 76, and you don't want the featured 5 star. That's pretty much shooting yourself in the foot if you get gold and there goes your pity for the next 5 star that you want. These 4 stars aren't going anywhere, they'll be featured eventually. (the new 4 stars they've released aren't that good, either xd)

[@jaxxcrybaby]

I got Yae Miko while ‘building pity’ as well when I was going for kirara. She is now my main. Happy accident :)

[@madiska2702]

Building pity has never been a problem for me as I've only one 50/50 and I've been playing since day 1. I've been able to go for every 4 stars that I want without worrying about getting a 5 star that i dont want. I guess only getting 5stars at 75+ pulls and always losing 50/50s has its own upsides , NO cope?

[@impostorsyndrome1350]

My biggest mistake/regret was listening to the community. Everyone was hyping up Yae Miko, telling me she was going to be godly. I, as quite a new player at the time, spent all my primos on her and ended up being completely disappointed to the point where now I benched her and use Kuki instead.

[@lingxiu267]

I just wanna get faruzan, just 1 copy, buttt I got wanderer and a cons for my keqing (she's c3 now) in 40 pulls, and luckily a copy of faruzan, but after that incident I don't ever wanna chase the 4 stars, at first I'm crying for 10 minutes cause like... I didn't really wanna wanderer, but after sometime I like him for being my taxi and his playstyle is very fun too, so I didn't really regret it, now I'm smiling ear to ear, helping my friend to end her grievance for not getting wanderer, remember guys, denial to acceptance, have a good day Edit: I'm a f2p and this is the most amazing but also most confusing way to my mom (she saw me wishing and after I'm crying I'm smiling again, she says teens are very confusing)

[@foolishloogish]

I'm saving for Wanderer. At around 65-70 pity, guaranteed. I currently have 3 pulls worth of primogems, + the 5 extra fates from Paimon's shop. Add in the primogems from maintenance and stuff, I hope I get him.

[@LunaticTactician]

That Fire Emblem GBA kill sound effect gets me every time

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

The first time I "built pity" I ended up with a Ganyu. She became my main and got my my first 36* on abyss. I've never regretted building pity ever since, and it's lead to some awesome happy accidents like a very early Shenhe and a C1 for characters I like. I pretty much have all the characters I want as a welkin only player at this point, so "ruining" pity is more like a happy accident

[@TM999]

When you got to the strongbox section I was deathly afraid because after AR45, I throw ANY and ALL artifacts into it except the 20 for my main team(which i occasionally replace with better ones if i see substats with potential). then, relief.

[@withlovemays]

A lot of these mistakes remind me of the early days. I remember my friends telling me not to use my fragile resin, but I barely listened. I wanted my characters to be strong as fast as possible, no matter if I couldn't get 5-star artifacts. I didn't get the difference between 4 star and 5 star so I thought "But it's a bonus regardless" - which was so stupid. I mean, my friend and I did have an easier time in the overworld and we always remember that, but when I got to AR45 and was farming for Kazuha's release I really could've needed those :/ I also did the pity thing as a new player and instantly learned my lesson as I got Klee early pity while I was saving for Kazuha. I remember going "Just three wishes" because I hadn't wished on a limited banner since I started the game. I could've gotten Kazuha early :') I was completely f2p back then with no wekin or BP and remember grinding crazily. I did every single thing you could do in Mond and Liyue. It was madness and I was still on 50/50, which was even worse. I was lucky I had barely done much side quests AND won 50/50 or I would've had waited a freakin year - which is also something I think many people don't consider. If you're lucky your fave is back in a few months, but with the pool growing bigger and bigger reruns recently easily take up to a year or even longer for some. Don't risk it. Right afterwards I learned not to wish any longer if I ain't okay with the 5-star. I didn't want Cyno so I sadly still have no Candace. As a Childe main I wanted cons but got Nahida and am saving for another character. I would be happy to still get his con, but now my pity is so high that I'm probs giving up on Layla and Faruzan on Scara's banner too. It's just not worth it T T I have lost all my 50/50s since freaking 9 months so I thought to myself "I'll lose 50/50 AND get the 4-stars and everything goes according to plan" but then right when you think that your curse is suddenly lifted. :') I DID lose and wouldn't have gotten Cyno, but who could know

[@ValtenBG]

I never had much of a problem with building pity. But there was one time I was waiting for Kokomi's rerun, right after Yae Miko's banner. Around 10 minutes before miko's banner ended I decided to check how much time is left before it changes. I opened, blah-blah and when I was about to close the wish menu, I somehow missclicked on the wish 10 banner and got Yae... 20 pity...

[@Doro-bashi]

AR60 and my mistake it's to have burned the "chest exclusive" weapons like the travelers handy weapon, recurve bow and not saving them even for collection at R5 (I need they for Yelan and Nilou right now) T.T

[@JV-lockehart]

Reading the comments, and i was like hey these people are lucky. I always get my 5* on the 80th pull. So i think building pity is not that bad. If you leave it to your luck, then you better prepare yourself for the unexpected. It's always good to have a plan, at least you've prepared yourself to whatever might happen. If you get them at an early pity that's great, if not then it's still according to plan.

[@ms.sysbit5511]

This… got Nahida at 77 and 85 respectively. My earliest pity pull yet was Qiqi at 39.

[@sebastianphilipps1754]

Building pity is how I got Venti in 6 pulls, Kokomi in 7 and Keqing in 10. To this day I still do it because you never know lol, still i don't see it as a waste because I get more characters and only spend 10 every time. Still can pity characters I want so...

This reminds me of when I did indeed risk building pity (it paid off but i still count it as a mistake): Intentionally lost 50/50 on Kokomi debut in 2.1 to set up a guarantee for Ganyu rerun in 2.4

[@MelodyWarp]

I was a solo player until about AR 55 when some friends finally picked it up. I saved all my fragile resin for the eventual day when I have friends that want to grind something and I would always have resin to spend when they're on. Now that they are also AR 50+ I don't regret it.

[@cinnamon4954]

I feel like my account is rigged. all my characters came home at 75 pity and I won all 50/50s. 8 in total and no exception. I don't feel bad building pity anymore ik what's gonna happen 😭

[@jamjam445]

When I first started a few months ago, I used a ton of freemos on standard banner because there were 4 star characters I really wanted. I do regret it now, but I did get some great characters. Including Razor who carried me for the first month lol

[@azuarc]

1. Building pity has always worked for me, except on Cyno where I got a character I didn't necessarily want, but didn't have, so meh. 2. Don't spend resin on artifact domains before AR45. At all. Just use what's in your bags. 3. I throw away anything that has two "bad" stats, regardless of if it has theoretically amazing potential because the chance of getting even 3/5 upgrades on things you want is sadly pretty pathetic. But I wouldn't do that if I were on a new account, no. 4. No argument. 5. When first going up the AR treadmill, pick a team of four. If you singularly focus your resin on them, you *should* be able to keep up with all four, their weapons, and their talents thru AR45. But you absolutely 100% have to focus on them to make that work, and if you're grinding out story content, you might have to settle for less. Lightning round: Meh, parametric transformer. Worrying about that is like worrying about doing ore and 1-star artifact farming daily, except worse.

[@1Henrink]

Building pity is an excuse to get some dopamine from gambling on pulls.

[@Pittanza]

I started with 3.0 and I'm still "building pity" because I have a really bad luck with wishes. I literally can't imagine the system working other way than let me lose 50/50 and wait at least for a total of 150 wishes to get the 5 star. btw, nice vid!

[@filipevasconcelos4409]

Man, this game really can stress you out if you just wanna be efficient. Now a days, i just play the overworld, and sometimes, i just turn my resin into weapon crystals when i feel like i don't wanna do domains. I've been enjoying the game since then

I remember when I hated the artifact strongbox because I was still around AR 47 so I thought it was a scam, but now that I have more garbage 5 star artifacts than I know what to do with I can see the appeal.

as for saving primos... or as i call em, primogerms, the hardest part for me is saving from 1-19. idk why, but as soon as the wish count goes above 20, i'm able to not spend a single wish until the banner is out. saving for scara rn, 63 wishes if im not mistaken, 15 pity and a 50/50 to win. plz plz plz wish me luck, my life is trash and scara is the only thing im looking forward to. 10 days left.

[@chinnithy7156]

I still build pity to this day and I can say that it hasn’t failed me since I’m not super lucky when it comes to pull and after 2 years I’ve only gotten early 5* like two times. I only pull on banner that I’m okay with if I do happen to get the 5* accidentally and if there are 2 4* characters on the banner that I don’t have or isn’t C6.

[@fable7372]

The one thing i did not know when i started the game is the existence of artifact strong box i am so mad at myself for it

[@pianotm]

I got Nilou at 0 pity. I pulled Ganyu on 80something pity and after a week of saving up, changed my mind and decided to spend my last wish on the Zhongli banner. Got Zhongli on 0 pity. Getting Ganyu and Zhongli on back to back wishes is my favorite Genshin story to tell. It's not rare to do it, but having to push to 70-90 pity is a lot more common.

[@renren8195]

This happened to me when i wished for ganyu banner when i told myself im just building pity but ended up getting her. But i enjoyed her and i got cyno so no regrets

[@isiahaguilar]

Ive done all of it at some point and still do some of it, throughout all my experience since launch, i am very comfortable enough to waste resin by capping it even after a few days because in the end of the day, i can only ever flex my characters on the character display and my non-existent friends on genshin so non of it even matters.

[@blasian1776]

I wanted Fischl and Diona cons on Tighnari banner. I ended up with a Diluc and 2 Tighnari in 60 pulls. It ended up okay for me but it certainly was n part of the plan.

[@chloez8504]

Not me actively planning to build pity next patch and this video drops and attacks me 🥲🥲

[@sycamorewest]

I would say: it's ok to build pity if you don't have the character and you don't mind it. No more than 40 pulls on soft pity though and NEVER if you are on hard pity Mathematically it's no different than making a 10 pull and getting 2 5 stars. (Happened to me on Kokomi / Yoi). On 1 hand, I was super lucky to get another 5 star way before the pity. On the other, the first 1 is great but the 1s constellation is the exact same situation as building pity and getting screwed, since a lot of these constellation 1s are pretty mid.

[@TengouX]

I wish the parametric transformer would just reset on monday like everything else. Its 1 week cooldown means it'll keep getting pushed back to later hours or days every week and it's annoying to keep track of when to use it.

I learned to stop building pity when I Keqing, on her banner, all cuz I wanted a Bennet to go with Xiao(hadn't got Bennett at that point, crazy). After that i successfully got Zhongli > Diluc > Eula > Qiqi > Raiden >>> PJWS > Jean > Kazuha > Keqing > Yelan > Diluc > Cyno > Diluc > Nahida. All in order of how I got them and when I pulled. There was a gap of like 4-6 months after Raidens banner, got to 40k primogems. I've also only ever got a 5 star early 3 time so far( before soft pity at 75) Keqing at 7, Kazuha at 53, Yelan at 57. and Nahida was the Worst at a full 158 wishes for my Daughter to come home ;-; ...and I want Wanderer Alhaitham and Dehya fml

[@nexusx7147]

Oh and I got Keqing as my first 5star then Albedo > Keqing again > Xiao. Don't get me started on the Qiqis and Keqings on the Standard banner, my 2 Lost prayers( 1 standard, othe wep banner), my Elegy for the End(on Cyno's wep banner), Aqua Simulacra, and Amos from standard. I have spent on 7 Welkings since launch leading to characters i wanted(Xiao, PJWS, Raiden, Kazuha, Nahida, and now for Wanderer), I wanted to be F2P but i also wanted to have fun, if I'm to whale it would probably be for the characters i Welkined for too.

[@OnEllisDee]

Building pity has always (somehow) worked out for me because I always loose 50/50 and I usually have to go to Hard Pity for it. I don't know if that's lucky or unlucky. For context, the only 50/50s I won are Cyno and Ganyu. The rest of my 5* are either guaranteed or a 50/50 loss. (C3 Diluc and C1 Mona my beloveds.)

[@elisfishy]

i mean i 'build pitty' on nearly every banner that has a new 4* since i like having all the 4* characters- but to be honest especially now that there are always 2 banners i usually wouldnt mind getting atleast 1 of them. but thats easy to say for someone who has been playing for over 2 years by now and basically has all the charcters they need to clear content. anyway nice video, i appreciate you disclosing on the whole dont spend your resin on artifacts till youre ar45 bc a lot of people seem i know that got into genshin later on got a bit stressed out over that :)

I once sat at 30k primogems, so I don’t understand why people build pity. I’m letting my resin cap, cause I don’t play Genshin much anymore and only log in once every few days.

[@Bakagii]

as long as ur not guaranteed, there's honestly nothing wrong with building pity. Some 4 stars are really valuable and u just cant help but miss them cuz its gonna take a few months for them to rerun again or even a year if its someone like sara faruzan or gorou
