My Xiangling deals more damage. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe - they both want Xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the Catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull Engulfing Lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Homa." I can't pull for Homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application.

Absolutely spot on with that. With new and popular characters, expect a rerun in at least 6 months' time.

The comment above does a good job going over good units for exploration but Ultimately exploration isn't altered too much by who you have as you can do it with just about anyone you have and team building is for the most part irrelivant and only based on your own personal comfort to use when exploring. A good example would be doing something like Sayu + Kazuha/Cloud Retainer as you get the stamina buff from double anemo and Sayu's skill can get across great distances and Kazuha/Cloud Retainer have high jumps to get up to high places with out having to climb (Plus Cloud retainer heals). I would honestly say the most Exploration team I can think of that also works in Abyss is a Xiao team with possibly replacing Faruzan with someone like Yelan or again Sayu. Less damage but long distance exploration skill. Can walk on water and both characters can jump very high with both skill and burst respectively.

So if another Scroll user is on her team just throw a few artifacts into the strongbox to get a defence petra set fpr her and she would still be useable in that team.

Funny thing with petra btw is that even now atm during 5.1, its now one of the best sets to run on a fellow support with xilonen. What i mean for example in the arle/kazhua/benny/xilonen team you can have benny run on petra. Then as you use xilonen skill to activate the buffs, switch to benny and collect the pyro crystalize sherd made and you still can activate petra's passive. Its even more amazing in like kinich/mualani teams inwhich u can have a low offield dps character like dehya be the petra set holder.

I love how I got all the 5 stars mentioned as a F2P player. My gameplan before playing Genshin was: Get Yoimiya, then get the meta characters after that really helps your acc. Neuvilette was the only 5 star I didn't want initially but ended up pulling because he was fun to me. Made it a mission to get all of the Power 5 as well. With that gameplan, I think I managed to "win" in Genshin without even exploring 20% of the whole map. Only characters I want that are missing are: Furina, Yelan, and Kuki. I could pull for whoever I want now because the support characters I have will build around the new character.

@@FlyingNinjaish as for Furina, every character on this list except Shinobu is more or less party agnostic. Furina pretty much requires you to have a healer. Now this isn't a huge ask by any means, most players should have at least one decent healer, but it is still *an* ask. As opposed to Nahida and Xiangling, whose ask is "running their respective element," or Xilonen and Bennett, whose ask is... literally nothing. You can put them on any team as long as it doesn't actively want to avoid their element. The only character on this list that I'm a bit iffy on is Shinobu since she only works on one team (hyperbloom) that pulls from a fairly limited group of characters. Still, Vars wanted this list to be an even split between four stars and five stars so Shinobu's replacement would have to be another four star (personally I'd suggest Gaming just for the sake of having a four star DPS.) Furina I'd say is just outside the top five f2p five stars, probably number six, I think the five Vars picked are good options

Xiangling is kinda redundant on this list as a free starter character unlike the rest--you don't need to allocate primos for her as a newbie and getting her cons should not be a priority over a diverse roster. I also don't think you mentioned she's free. If this is for new players specifically, Sucrose should also have been mentioned during the Kaz section imo as an alternative option, and Collei during the Nahida section to help decide their priorities on pulling.

Maybe Vars is talking about putting resources into pulling her too? Comparing to barbara for example who is quite easy to get but rarely would you find someone advice to build her more (either as healer or dps).

You can easily clear the Abyss by just using "Supports" and "Sub-Dps" Team 1: Furina, Kazuha, Xilonen, Xiangling Team 2: Nahida, Xingquie, Kuki + whatever (literally you can just go in with the 3 units and its enough) These 2 Teams will clear any abyss even when running fav weapons or er% sands if you go dmg Weapon. And only c4 Xiangling is needed everyone else can be c0. And now the benefit of prioritising them over Neuvi, Arle, Mualani... is that you have all Supports already build and invested for any future DPS to come out. (Btw i tested it myself, i do have the 4 stars c6 and some cons on Furina and Xilonen so i unequipped a artefact to balance it out, Managed to clear the current abyss without resetting once with 36 stars)

Like i was able to 36* with neolle buffed by only furina, kachina and c0 gorou all because of it (not even on redhorn). I know its not your fault because hoyo still doesnt wanna release togglable cons and your probably would still be able todo the same if that was a thing.

I think Nilou is the single most valuable character to a new account in the game, since she - with the assistance of some of the worst characters in the game that are given to you for free - enabled a comp that can clear a LOT of abyss, but also has a lot of room to grow upwards. She basically turns garbage into gold, and I think that makes her uniquely valuable to new/free to play accounts. And she doesn't even need artifacts to do it, really. Just any hp stuff you can throw on her.

Ok so while I do agree with most of the list, it feels kinda awkward since it's more of a "build recommendation" than a "pull recommendation" on the 4*s, and vice versa for the 5*s. I think it would've been better to separate the 2 rarities. It's also difficult to differentiate between F2P players and new players. Usually the assumption is that they're similar, but new players are mostly aiming for characters that are more versatile in the long run, and perhaps even characters that work with little investment, like Nilou for example, whereas F2P players might go for characters that can enable more characters in the long run. I think Xianyun/Furina are amazing picks for F2P players, since they allow quite a few characters they probably already have to be more viable, but especially Xianyun is just not a very good character for newer players. I feel like a lot of videos like this tend to overlook the differences between the 2 categories

2+ years player, F2P, but never really focused on combat, just getting by and enjoying exploration and story. I guess im on a good path though, I have 10/10 of these characters and 8/10 of them are built. I'm not too big on building Fischl or Bennett at the moment. Whenever I try Fischl or shes on Trial for a combat event, she doesnt feel great. And Bennett I dont really like overall. If o n l y we could soon maybe maybe get another good Pyro unit to support the team, that would be nice. :P And I feel like a good Kuki and a good Raiden already work well for 2 separate teams of off-field elecro application?

As a fischl player tbh your right. Especially for something like dendro or chevreuse overload, kuki and shougn are enough if you only want the electro application + buffs/healing the character comes with. Fischl is mainly just a cracked subdps who works great in teams inwhich the main onfielder hits alot and therefore triggers her A4 or C6 for more dmg (death via thousand cuts type of thing). But to atleast defend fischl somewhat, the trial ones are always build complete ass not on GT which is the best by far set for her. For a high-ish end fischl example: mine does 30k dmg ticks every single nevuillete hydro pump tick which you can expect add up quite fast to a huge number. Sorry for the yapping, i still agree shes probably not worth it for u. But if you di have shougn already, why not build benny to buff her? I swear the dmg she gets with him is game changing

@@agiant5715 No worries about long messages, I myself often type these :D I am somewhat interested in seeing what a top-level Fischl would look like dmg-wise, when you mention that trial versions arent good. I was also told that you basically just want to use her E and swap off. Which makes sense cause I also used her Ult when it was ready and I do dislike that. ^^ Bennett I'm not sure... I mean Navia and I keep hearing he's also best for her. But I kind of dislike him from the quests we had with him, Im mostly only build characters when I like them from the story, so Bennett is low-priority for me, despite what he's supposed to be helping with. - Maybe we get some lore about him during Natlan that would change my opinion. I would be open for that.

@Laserstormelpies fair enough point. No team running bennett would be unplayable without him anyways. And as story/lore nerd myself I have to admit benny is quite unlikeable. Like yes its very tragic how his luck is making is life hard, but he rarely shows remorse about making others accidental victims to it and even has the nerve to try and recruit more of them to his "benny adventure team". A fun character to watch for a quest or 2, but not at all if you think deep about him for more than 3 mins.

My best team is a wet rock team with C2 Furina, C0 Yelan, and C6 Noelle with a R1 Redhorn Stonethresher. I have a C4 Yunjin that I was running as the 2nd Geo, and when I replaced her with Xilonen with a crowned skill, the difference was barely noticeable. People need to realize that accounts like this are paid marketing for Hoyoverse, and when they are trying to tell you that the current banner character is a must-have (which is pretty much all the time) it's because they're being paid indirectly by Hoyoverse to try to scam you. Most of the commenters on here will also be getting paid by Yomiholic or another similar company.

Nahida instead of Furina is crazy. Furina absolutely should be here no question

I want to ask you one, singular question: how is new player supposed to have c6 4 stars considering how hard they are to get these days due to sheer amount of them and lack of guarantee?
