Try to pick who to get has made me realize that I actually don’t care about the meta all that much. As a new player, everyone says to get xingqiu but I find him so annoying that I’d hate playing him. Since I plan to pull for Nahida, I honestly might just get Ningguang so she and Beidou can hangout together in my teapot 😂 EDIT: y’all I got Ningguang and C1 Gaming while wishing for Nahida and Nahida came home in less than 20 pulls I’m DEAD! may you all have the same luck!

characters like xiangling and xingqiu are annoying to play as new players, including me a while ago. But they get better when you know more about the game. Also, you don't need meta when you don't plan to 36* abyss.

You don't really need to follow the meta characters to 36* the Abbys but whatever ig

Yo, I feel called out. Ningguang is literally hanging out with Beidou in my teapot too does this make me basic lol Ningguang is good if you're a teapot main tho, she marks the map with the location of ores so it makes it easy to almost never be out of materials

[@Kmn483]

Biedou is going to be available in the starglitter shop during Lantern Rite (feb)! If you have c0 Biedou, you can get her c2 this Lantern Rite if you have 34 starglitter! Alternatively, if you want to save your free 4-star for someone else, just pick her up for starglitter instead. 34 star glitter is 7 wishes, so just make sure that's worth it to you and you already have enough wishes for your 5-stars.

Chongyun is fun, I was a Kaeya Main from acquisition to AR 56 and man Chongyun gave this man so much extra damage. Love him, he's good on Noblesse :)

[@Tweeeeee]

I literally don’t care what people think, I’m getting Yanfei and it’s just because of her character and design and she was one of the characters I wanted most and never got but I watched this anyway Good video though

[@Muted_tea]

I personally think yanfei can do a lot of dmg, she's not as clunky as I thought, vaporize works best for her ( in my experience) overall a fun character to play. 😊

[@juria4029]

Im going for Yanfei too :D

[@doukzu]

Honestly the best reason.

[@notshizuki]

going for yanfei cons for the longest time, this is an easy pick for me

[@RobRuckus65]

I have a c6 yanfei level 90 triple crowned 60/235 crit crimson witch set and tome of the eternal flow at lvl90. Her charge attack vapes are like mini nukes I run her with furina yelan and bennett. She has a hard time hitting flying stuff and her attacks can be a bit janky though. She isn't quite at hu tao levels for vape damage and spammability but she outperforms my hu tao when it comes to aoe.

[@nikk-named]

one thing I'll forever yell into the void about is Healguang, or: Ninguang with Prototype Amber and healing bonus circlet. I use her in my very scuffed Noelle team. And with oceanhued, the extra damage is pretty neat and has helped me in abyss. You don't need to stack hp on her either, since it heals a percentage of max hp of the teammates. it's pretty neat. and a lot of fun. (the only pain is getting the prototype Amber refinements)

[@DJDrLandWhaleOfficial]

I typically run Yaoyao(healer) yoimiya or raiden (main dps), Layla (shield/cryo battery) and nahida (dendro battery). Yaoyao is incredibly underrated. Had her since she first launched but didn’t build her until recently to have an additional healer to barb, she’s now replaced barb as my go to healer.

[@Ophalcharriz]

Yup! I tried to get her on Xiao's banner last year (it didnt go well) and ended up with C1 Xiao (who i have neglected untill recently) and no Yaoyao. I chose her as my free 4 star! Do not regret it! I may not use her too much as I have a small range of healers for certain teams, but she is amazing!

[@jj_dabestt3528]

as a Yaoyao main I'm glad people are recognizing her capability in teams.

[@TheSARGE93]

This was soo helpful, thank you Shark! I was stuck deciding between Xingqui cons and Yao yao, I don't have her yet and this video made that an easy decision 🎇

[@Some1The4Got10]

Same.

[@shubhamambar3583]

Have to say Shark, this video is much appreciated. Character recommendations are quite necessary during these Lantern Rites patches. But you went an extra step and even calculated all scenarios of this and that consellations and advised according to that. Really thankful for this video 💌

[@shabnomnom]

this is so helpful! i was getting all starry-eyed over gaming just because he’s shiny and new but after watching this i think i’ll go with xingqiu! i don’t have him and i’m seriously lacking in hydro characters in general so he seems like a good pick for me to better round out my roster 😊

[@driftyth]

This was exactly the situation I was in and to be honest, I'm choosing xingqiu aswel

[@Poppi-chi]

My Ningguang does 80k dmg per jade on her burst, c6 🎉 My favourite teams with her are -Ningguang, Yelan, Noelle, Kokomi -Ningguang, Xiangling, Noelle, Bennett -Ningguang, Yunjin, Yelan, Noelle Shes very strong. I recommend 👍

[@Zaid2k2]

Switch kokomi with furina in first team and u dps will skyrocket

[@Kangoshi_ru]

16:16 "If you don't have Xingqiu, get him. He's the best option by far." I agree with the second part, but I would (and I'm planning to) get him from Paimon Bargains in March. All because I have c0 Beidou at the moment and I need her at c2: one copy from Lantern Rite and second from the shop in February. She was last on a banner in 4.2, so we're not gonna see her any time soon. So, if you need another character from the selector and it's not going to be on a banner in the near future and you can't get it from the shop, I'd skip Xingqiu and go for that character instead. And got Xingqiu in March.

[@charebear]

I already had decided to get Yaoyao since I don’t have her yet. But you just made me completely sure about my choice! Thank you!

[@cecilecrozatier7979]

Thank you Shark, very very helpful!!! Especially the last priority list, as I was stuck between getting a C4 XiangLing or C0 YaoYao (or some more Xingqiu or Beidou). Your thought process really convince me in my choices, so I don’t need to reconsider every 2 minutes, lol!! Cheers man!!

[@Sergmanny46]

Have we confirmed yet if Yaoyao will be on Nahida's banner? That could be another option to consider.

[@alfredxsiv]

4:45 other teams you can try with chongyun are - oven (burgeon with fridge mechanic - Chongyun, Thoma, Nahida (prototype amber), & Xingqiu is my recommendation unfortunately you really need nahida for this team to feel really good) - hyperfridge (hyperbloom with fridge mechanic - Chongyun, Kuki, DMC/Nahida, Xingqiu) admittedly Chongyun is very replaceable in this team by other most other cryo chars, though if you're using Chongyun that means you really like him as a character and he's actually doing something in these teams

[@FacialFischl]

What’s great about yaoyao is that she is basically a 5 star in disguise and she is dendro. I say this as a Baizhu player

[@ninaborosova8907]

I also have Baizhu but will pick yaoyao. Since i cant have 2 baizhus for my 2 hyperbloom teams 😅

[@djinn666]

The only reason she has to be a 4* is because if she's 5*, then Nahida would have to be 6*.

[@KoiinuNe]

the fact that i don't need to watch this, but Shark has such good advice so i don't mind watching!

[@pedroares6562]

I like the cold and savage analysis. I love Ninguang and the new geo artifact work well with her, but as you say, not worth it. I will go for the Nahida C1, so I will either go for Gaming or Beidou.

[@Sergmanny46]

Ningguang *can* do a lot of damage, but she demands a lot of investment. Not only she requires hefty artifact grind, but is also confined to double geo and double pyro, or triple geo with Gorou/Yun Jin and a flex, most likely Bennett or an off-field dps. On top of that, her base attack is so low that it's almost mandatory to use a 5* book on her. So yup, would not recommend her to anyone either, unless they are very willing to commit.

[@qualifiedxiaosimp]

i was conflicted between xingqiu and gaming but ended up choosing gaming because hes literally the cutest patootie and i love him (plus his gameplay is fun) ill try and get xingqiu when im pulling for xiao ^_^

[@grandpowr]

HOLY SHIT WHAT? BEIDOU'S BURST DOESN'T PROC DENDRO CORES?! This changes a lot of things for me then, wow... I can use her in HB without issues then with Kuki

[@Marta1Buck]

afaik it can hit the cores, but it's unreliable.

[@Diamond1234]

Yep, she is good in hyperbloom provided you have a trigger, just don't use her skill next to any cores, of course. XD ...yes I've messed with with her skill and procced cores when Kuki was uh dead in the abyss rip.

[@natalies8498]

My current thoughts are either YaoYao (since I do not have her) or a Beidou con. Am pulling for Nahida, so it also depends on how my pulling goes and what 4* I get while pulling. (Thankfully, I managed to C6 XQ - my ONLY C6 character right now - when I was pulling for Neuvillette.)

[@imperialbeast8981]

Can i get her i have 50 pulls now or do i need more i have never pulled on any banner specifically for a character i basically just wished as soon as i got to 10 wishes

[@lordcavalier9688]

Being Navidad and yao yao is a very good aggravate team. Just need an enabler for the fourth spot. You have fishyl?

[@natalies8498]

It depends on your pity and what your last character was (if it was a banner character or standard - meaning are you on a 50/50 or guaranteed). I saved a bunch because I'm on a 50/50 and there's no guarantee, but I'm still hoping I'll get lucky so the rest can back into my savings for the next character I want. And no worries - that was how I was when I first started, I'd pull on banners not with a plan in mind but just because I needed more characters at first - I only started planning out my wishing later on when I began having a good idea of what sort of teams I'd be building.@@imperialbeast8981

[@natalies8498]

Oh, I am aware and am excited to try! :D I have Fischl and Raiden as well (the last character I saved for). @@lordcavalier9688

[@technicalleon]

Thanks for the advice! Personally, though, I think I'm getting Ningguang. I'm only a month into Genshin, but coming from HSR, I find farming mats to be quite frustrating. So, I think I'll be focusing more on waifu collecting than actually building characters. Out of them all, I like Ningguang the most. Beidou's in second. Gameplay-wise, Yaoyao would've been the biggest priority since I have at least one copy of Xianqui and Xiangling. However, getting characters I like is a bigger priority for me. Besides, I'm a Navia main so I'll get some value out of Ningguang if I choose to build her.

[@beverlyrussell8034]

Check out her skin, then. They are giving away a free 4* skin, I have heard. Her purple dress is prettier than her original one, IMHO.

I agree totally about get the characters you like. I’m at AR 56 and can still get away with this except for occasionally I’ve felt the need to build someone I don’t like as much for their team role or extra damage. That being said, Ningguang is pretty good especially if you maximize the tricks to play her best, and her constellations are good. Hope this helps!

[@reactiondavant-garde3391]

Yanfei clunky? I think she is one of the smoothest catalyst they made before chaaracters like Heizou, Wrio or Neuvillette. Arguiable tithout her c1 she is pretty hard to play and her c4 give a lot of comfort, but after c4 she have a pretty rythmic gamplay with good defensive utility and lowered Stamina needs.

[@Sergmanny46]

Yup. In fact Klee and Yanfei's got the rarities reversed. Yanfei is the 5* while Klee is a 4*.

[@reactiondavant-garde3391]

@@Sergmanny46 In fact it is true for most 4*. Gamplay wise though I never played with Klee (except the trial), but what I heard she pretty clunky. Yanfei on the otherhand is basicly a lucky coincidence, early catalyst chaaracter can be really terrible to play, khm Ninguang khm, so it is a small miracle how good Yanfei feel to play compered to them.

[@Sergmanny46]

@@reactiondavant-garde3391 Weirdly enough, Ningguang and Yanfei's gameplay are technically identical. 3 normal attacks followed by a charged attack, and they can both shield themselves should they need it (crystallize, though it's a nice to have since its dmg absorption is laughable). That being said, Ningguang needs a lot more investment than Yanfei to be playable.

[@reactiondavant-garde3391]

@@Sergmanny46 Yeah I know it is really funny, but I think Ninguang have so much problem, her normal attack is buggy, her construct needed but construct have bad mecahnics so a lot of times it is destroyed, hard to aim with her still, she bad numbers and lastly she doesn't have multipicale reaction. Yanfei is basicly better in every way possible beause how well she work and because she is a pyro unit. And I am sad about Ninguang, because she is so pretty, but it is really annoying to play her.

Thank you for this video!! I was planning to pick YaoYao but then i realized i already have all of her constellations lol so i have to change my game plan

[@meriwidget3474]

It's strange how personal experience can affect perception on characters. I've only played a year but I don't like the XL/Bennett combo at all, but that's because I didn't get Bennett until after I had a C2 Nilou/Nahida bloom team (with Yaoyao as the healer, she's great), and XL/Bennett always felt clunky and unintuitive to me. But I got Yanfei really early in game and was my main carry up til I finished Inazuma, so I don't find her clunky to play at all. I have c6 Yaoyao and Xingqui (both great) already, so I'll pick up Gaming since I don't have him.

[@lordcavalier9688]

Have you tried physical xiangling with the cresent pike? Xiangling has the most number of hits with her normal attack, with the pike it doubles. So one na combo hits 14 times. As far as I've seen she is the only character I've ever hit the 30 normal attack limit of yunjins burst with.

[@meriwidget3474]

​@@lordcavalier9688never have, actually, interesting suggestion! I do remember her hitting really fast, early days I pretty much used her that way, I might dust her off and try that, as I do have Yunjin and crescent pike both.

But I also am nowhere NEAR a good place to use him, best I have is C2 Benny and I doubt I'm getting any more from the current banner LOL. I also likely won't be getting more of Gaming's cons because I'm gonna be saving pulls for Xiao probably (I love my anemo boys and I will not give up playing genshin until they've all come home, meta be dammed) and I don't think he'll be on the same banner. And then comes the issue that I'm also desperate for a dendro healer since I didn't manage to pull Baizhu (didn't manage any 5* off that banner at all) and Yaoyao is right there....... urghhhhhhhHHHHH ...I mean there's a very real chance I'm going to end up going for Gaming still because I think he's really, really cool, but there's still a massive part of me that's torn

[@testarossakillerlord_ts]

Mihoyo: enjoy your free 4* and 3wishes👌

[@textra4984]

💀 me who has zero understanding of this because ive been playing for 1 month

[@ArcheoneGaming]

Great Video Shark! I do have a question, although not about the 4 stars. Im torn between pulling for Raiden or Nahida. I do have a Yaoyao and Fishl. and that basically is my entire Dendro and Electro roster. (i do have Kujo Sara on c4 already, but i really dislike playing her...) I have like 17 Hydro characters including Neuvilette, Ayato, Mona, Candace, Yelan, Xinque (c6), barbara etc etc etc. like Hoyoverse finds it funny to only give me Hydro characters. So on the current Raiden banner im not really looking for the 4 stars... but i do want Raiden. And for the next Banner, with Nahida, i dont know the 4 stars. So that is more tempting atm... Although i dont think i have many characters that work well with Nahida... Im also going into surgery and might even miss out on the entire lantern event, as my surgery date is set to 31e and ill basically lose my right arm for a while... So, any jawsome advice? :)

[@John_II]

I'm sure your surgery will go fine, we'll pulling for you. :) To your query: Raiden or Nahida... I'd say Nahida. Why? Nahida is the only dendro support character you'll ever "need". She unlocks all dendro teams for you unlike anyone else. Nahida has no placeholder. There's no one like her in the game. Raiden is great, don't get me wrong. I still use Raiden National for the Abyss. But Kuki Shinobu and Fischl are decent off-field electro supports along with Beidou. They're not as good as Raiden, but they're satisfactory placeholders until you can get a Raiden. If you can afford the wishes - get both Raiden and Nahida. If you can only afford one, Nahida.

[@shaikhhuzaifa4333]

I wish you goodluck for the surgery hope you recover soon.❤ Nahida is better than Ei...Raiden needs C2 as well as she doesn't have much f2p weapon options...The catch R5 is an option but getting it requires lot of work...whereas Nahida is the best Dendro in the game...she works with most of teams...She makes abyss feel very easy...Go for Nahida u will definitely enjoy it much more than Ei...☺️ At the end it's all upto you...But in terms of game Nahida Rn is doing much better than Raiden.

[@ArcheoneGaming]

@@shaikhhuzaifa4333 Thanks, i already have the Catch maxed. Guess im saving up then :)

[@BlankSama]

Good luck for your surgery About who to choose, its easy tbh, go for nahida. She is the best dendro character in entire game. Once u use her, u dont need any other dendro tbh. If u have primos for only 1 character out of raiden and nahida then go for nahida. But since both character r good in the end , your account will be good in either of choice . I would say go for nahida, raiden is good dont get me wrong but tbh raiden is not THAT good at c0 speically hoyo released so many good 5 star character in fontain. IN THE END , GO FOR NAHIDA, SAVE PRIMOS, THEN IF U DONT HAVE KAZUHA THEN GO FOR HIM, HE WILL SOON GET HIS RESUN. Nahida n kazuha r both one of those character that r must pick for any account.

[@reptile6059]

I was at first , thought dendro wouldn't do much in my team but , when i got yaoyao , my views changed . She became the thing I need the most in my team .

[@Tell-ys6xd]

i’m getting yao yao

[@voshadxgathic]

I was curious about others opinions on this and I have to say I generally agree with this list. Well done. If anyone is interested in improving their abyss performance, follow this ranking word for word.

[@riotmunu3827]

When will this event be here and how to get them

[@scizorsky9152]

I'm curious too, as I'm pretty new to the game. So idk how to get them.

[@egghuvud1187]

WANNA KNOW AS WELL PLS SOMEONE lul

[@eggpam8908]

So you guys will have to do the lantern rite event and then in the end you get to choose 1 liyue 4 star for free. I myself started on 25th sept 2023 which also makes me fairly new

[@riotmunu3827]

@@eggpam8908 ok so when does it start....i stared in dec so u r my senior 😁

[@scizorsky9152]

@eggpam8908 I'm only ar 15, can I still do the event? I don't think I've even made it to liyue yet. I'm close but I have to get through a fucking tundra to get there lol

[@Jastababe]

Xingque FTW..back when I was first starting out, I didn't have a hydro char, and just couldn't pull any copies of any, including Yelan when her banner came around, as my F2P account lost 50/50 to DIpuke, I mean Diluc. I was level 59 (AR 45) before I finally got my 1st copy of Xingque and thought how I ever killed anything without him. He really made killing super fast and with the free copy of Collei from Spiral Abyss, wiping up Inazuma was a breeze, and made Sumeru much more fun. Great information here. Bravo on the list I 100% agree..Thank you for this ....♥

[@VinaykGc]

Bro its Ga ming ❌ Gaming✅

[@BasilRodriquez]

This is the best guide for F2Ps or Low spenders. Better choose wisely for your accounts! For whales who didn't get the newer chars from their banners (Yaoyao and Gaming). It's our time to grab some cons.

[@morganstoudt-lz9pj]

Thank you for that thorough breakdown! This helped a lot!

[@wulong1897]

I sincerely appreciate the indepth research & explanation u provided here. Thanks alot for ur efforts.

[@AlAfton_Aka_Alastor]

I was going with yao yao to begin with so thanks for confirming my choice

[@YVVI-YT]

Ty for the advice, I’m going to pick Niguang just because I want to build my geo characters. I’m trying to make a team of geo traveler, Navia, Noelle, and ninguang

[@algum504]

That would be nice, rank system that has all breakpoint constalations on it ^^ Honestly i have c1 cook girl and c2 watter boy, will probably go with girl to get closer to c4 (2 contelations is easier to get then 3 when wishing, unless you are beido and shoot for c8 from c2 during it -.-)

[@Nil_Sama]

Thankfully, my Xingqiu is at c6 after my Neuv pulls so I'm probably going for Gaming if I don't get him from pulls, he's absolutely adorable :3 Edit: my Navia can fully charge without any other geo characters, so I don't really need Ning either~ I alsp main anemo Traveler, so using him for geo support for Navia feels wierd to me lol

[@alctalks1487]

While I agree with your overall ranking of Yanfei, I've always heard people say that she was the least clunky catalyst dps and fixed many problems earlier ones had. She's insanely fun, easy and satisfying to play, but by no means a must pick since most pyro 5* are also dps and have higher scalings

[@blythan3134]

Going to go with Yaoyao since I got the good cons for Beidou and Xiangling already. But if Yaoyao happens to drop by while I'm pulling for Nahida it's gonna be a Xingqiu con as he's only C1 so far.

[@JarlYT_0]

Thank you for making this video ive been thinking of which one i should get lately

[@rahuld2844]

New player? Want someone who can help you clear content? Get xiangling or xinqui. Definitely do not go for xinyan or yunjin unless you want them for waifu purposes. Rest all are good, beidou especially is super fun to play.

[@Shade_of_KinG]

Very hard choice. I need characters from other regions lol, but here I have C6 Xingqiu and C4 Xiangling. I will take one more const for Yun Jin since I have Yoimiya.

[@me.9780]

Thank you😅 I have no idea what I'm doing and was like who do I get. The breakdown helped me choose for YaoYao.

[@tommyaoi1183]

Woot!!!! I'm getting Xinyan Finally!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@molybdnum]

For my account Yaoyao would definitely be the smart move, followed by XQ cons and maybe Beidou cons. However .... I'm picking Yunjin because I like her and want her C6 😆.

[@kylebrand1]

Of all of these I have..... a C0 Beidou... that's it. I would love to have Xingqiu buuuuuut as an aspiring Yoimiya main I would absolutely love to get Yun Jin. Ugh I can't decide! Will see what I pull during the event and go from there I suppose.

[@DeathDragon1730]

If kuki was on the list it would be a no brainer for me, but she isn’t and I’m depressed. If i’m lucky she’ll be on banner but i’ve learned that relying on my luck is like playing roulette with a musket.

[@Yukki._.]

I don’t even care tbh- I’m getting ga Ming. Last year I got beidou since she was the only one I didn’t have, now I only need him 💀 very easy choice

[@LesbianKimDokja]

Same lol, I have all of the ones I use at their best constellations anyways

[@Yukki._.]

@@LesbianKimDokja almost all my 4 stars at C6 anyways 😭🤛 mainly my inazuman ones but about half of my Liyue ones too

[@secaleohsrevlis2039]

I'm pulling on Xianyun's banner. If I get Gaming, I'm choosing Yaoyao (currently c3). If I don't get Gaming, I'm choosing Gaming. I only have three other options: Ningguang (currently c5), Xinyan (currently c5), or 5 starglitter. I don't use Ningguang or Xinyan, so Gaming and Yaoyao are effectively my only choices! I want to second the Chongyun + Kaeya recommendation. I have used Chongyun/Kazuha/Xingqiu/Kaeya to 36* Spiral Abyss back when freeze was viable, and it's also a really comfortable overworld team. Xingqiu is the party healer. Chongyun's burst has a low cost, so he's an excellent 4pc Noblesse user in a quick swap team.

[@JustJay_4272]

Picking Gaming because I don't play characters for damage I play the characters I like :3

[@ronalddasrich6519]

Ig a add bonus of xingqiu if you get them is that you get to put that new skin to good use right away along with a great 4 star.

[@daissyyfairryy]

this was a very confusing choice for me honestly , a lot of people were recommending xingqiu and gaming but i already had them both lol , also i think it would have been a wise choice to go with ninguuang but i didn't feel like it ,others were characters having elements i didn't specifically need i needed a geo character but not ninguuang so i went with yun jin! tip : choose a character with an element you lack ,for example i only had noelle with geo and had many characters with every other element , or you could go with a character that will be a good support for your dps , for example gaming and xingiu , or if you don't have a dendro character choose yaoyao but i already had nahida so i didn't really feel like choosing yaoyao also at the end of the day you can always get these all by wishing easily so don't regret your choice too much!

[@takibo_here8626]

I have c5 Xingqiu and it has annoyed me, now I can get him completed.

[@ioannishussein8038]

Prior to that, I already had C6 Fischl, which is my best sub-DPS. I already finished off all constellations for Beidou and Xingqiu, so I’ll choose Gaming. However, my Xiangling is currently at C2 on my side account as of now.

[@ashvenxr]

pov: you have c6 on all the characters in this priority list guess I'll get c3 gaming and still hoping for xianyun ✌ very great and informative video btw for those who really need it :D

[@TJF588]

Let's tally this up. Not counting characters with full constellations, I have... C1: Yun Jin, Yaoyao C2: Chongyun C3: Xinyan C5: Xianling, Yanfei ...and will be pulling for Cloud Retainer, so hoping to get Gaming(s). So, I might polish off Yanfei, or steadily build upon Yun Jin's utility for my thrice-skipped new Yoimiya.

[@overrandom2847]

a must have is xingqiu, the guys just god in most comp, his ult gives damage and wet enemy, easy to score freeze, extinguish, and bloom, then xiangling, she is one of the best 4 star dps and supp, next would be yaoyao, she is good as healer and dendro infuser, beido and yunjin are situational, beido is good as carry esp her ult where it jumps from enemy to enemy, yunjin as explained in vid is kind of limited use, altho she works best in mono geo or ayato since ayato's skill is considered as normal, yanfei works as shield tho you need more cons on her, tho her kit is kind of similar to klee where she gets and excemption on charge attacks if you got those orb thing, ningguang is kind of a dps and only shine on geo team comp, as her skill increase geo dmg, and her dmg is quite decent but yes situational, chongyun is kind of niche like his kit involves cryo infuse and thats it, last is xinyan, she kinda broken like her shield needs to hit base description to utilize the pyro pulse thingy, even tho the passive said it reduce its still 50-50 to proc, and lastly the new hero, im not sure if his kit is good tho i do want to get a copy for collection, but if his kit is just plunge with a hutao vibe then i do hope his scaling is good, since hoyo do love to give character who got good kits a bad scaling, case in point dehya, she good if only her scaling was high and single but nope dual scale with mediocre %

[@linoseverythiing]

yanfei is literally my main since i started genshin, i relied on her so much that i can't make a team without her. i do have zhongli and ayaka but she out deals all of their dmg even with her charged attack, but i do respect your opinion.

[@Rapiers-and-flowers]

I'm gonna choose Ga-ming because my only pyro DPS are Lyney and Klee. Plus i heard his damage is really good too. I've prefarmwd every just about every for level 90 now i just need to wait. Also, I dont plan to wish until 4.5 when Albedo gets his rerun or 4.6 and beyond for TOTEF/Chlorinde. 4.4 is an easy skip for me.

[@taylor_0r_idc]

I think I'll take Xin...... Xinque...? However you wirte him. I have him c1 rn and have Yelan. Mycurrent spyral abyss teams are: Xiao, Yelan, ---/Xianglin, BennetC5 Nahida, FischlC2, Neuvilette, Kokomi Yelan and xiao work wonders together because of Yelans Ult and Xiaos quick base attack (both do about 5k per hit so 10k total quick) With Xinq--? hydro res reduction on enemies and more quick offfield hydro and healing it just sounds wonderful

[@TakashiDemonServant]

Well I have a plan( since I have the others I will get Gah-Ming and then waste my bad Gacha luck on the banners)

[@SomeoneCalledKoi2]

Honestly, in the event I chose Xingqui for the skin, since after entering the event (3 days ago) I did 5 wishes, which the last gave me Gaming.

[@AstaRoth-hd3rv]

Great video! Very informative and packed a ton of good info into 19 minutes. If i could give 2 thumbs up I would. Oh wait I can 👍👍

[@RezDK]

I'm a day 1 player and just can't pull xiangling or xingqiu cons both are c0 that's why i never liked using raiden national cuz both feel horrendous to play without cons even when *crowned* but they keep releasing new 4* units for lantern rite i like to collect so i'll have to pick ga ming over the other two

[@ninthfriend3347]

I have C3 Xiangling but don't have Xinque...quite a hard decision for me. C4 Xiangling will make my Raiden overload team feel sooo much nicer as I find her burst to last pretty short. At the same time, Xinque will open up more teams for me to use. Problem is that I have farm his materials and his artifacts which I'm still currently refining my current teams.

[@sngamer9007]

Xingque is a must have if u want to bring out the max potential of hyperbloom and and vaporize teams,and Xiangling vaporize is better that overload.unless u have yelan i think xingque c0 is way better than Xiangling c4
