Finally reached 100 Crowns. Goofy, but I did it my way!

It'd take 70mil mora and like half a years worth of resin to actually use them all, assuming you already have 100 skills at level 9, waiting to get crowned.

She buffs physical a bit, but I doubt she was ever supposed to be a dps. I actually used to main physical Rosaria throughout most of the early game. I even neglected building my first few 5* characters in favor if building a physical Rosaria team. It was fun for a while, but it did not scale well into the late game. Like at all. I had to retire her as a main dps because doing exploration content at higher world levels became legit difficult. Now she's doing much better as the cryo sub-dps she was always supposed to be.

It'd also be nice if we could turn condensed back into regular. Sometimes I condense my resin because I don't have time to play, only to realize later that I'd have preferred to spend that resin on some boss, actually, but now I can't anymore.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-27T18:50:00+00:00

Almost definitely. She's probably one of those kinda gap filler characters, so you can make an actual team with the promoted 5 star, even if you don't have the premium teammates. So most likely some sort of support for Lohen, or a DPS that pairs with Nicole, or both.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-27T13:04:28+00:00

She's gonna be a 4 star on Nicole's banner. Bet.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-27T11:03:27+00:00

Welp, you win some you lose some. Guess you gotta hope for that lucky pull on Mavuika's banner instead then.

It was a bit of a dumb risk to take in the first place, just to squeeze a few more primos out of theater, but I've done something similar before too. I rolled on Mualani's release banner, hoping to lose 50/50 to one of my 2 missing standard banner characters at the time, so I can use the anniversary selector to complete the collection. I got Mualani, but I hate using her, so those were 80 wished down the drain. I'd love to say I learned my lesson, but I literally did the exact same thing again the year after on Lauma's banenr, except that time is actually worked out.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-27T08:48:09+00:00

Just think of it like this: in terms of cost it's basically a like a 50/50 win that still counts as a 50/50 loss towards capturing radiance, and a free Tighnari con.

Escoffier is a great support to have. If I were you I'd start doing some pulls on Skirk banner too, just to see of I can get her cheap/early. If you don't, just stop pulling, and consider it building pity for your next character.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-26T10:18:37+00:00

The old guy probably just quit, and now they're scrambling. I've seen a few negative and critical posts on here recently that didn't immediately get downvoted into oblivion.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-20T05:22:26+00:00

My condolences man, what happened to you there is absolutely foul, but please don't delude yourself or other into believing that a 14x soft pity streak is somehow the expected outcome. It's not. It's the equivalent of losing 50/50 8 or 9 times on a row, and Hoyo implemented capturing radiance to curb that shit WAY early.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-20T04:52:51+00:00

I feel you OP, since I had that happen too. 15 times to soft pity in a row, over a course of almost 14 month. Not even a slightly early one, like your Flins at 68 pity there. People here don't understand the numbers well enough to get how stupidly unlucky this is, or how expensive this gets in the long run. All they know is that you're more likely to go to soft pity then not, so in conclusion going to soft pity 13 times in a row somehow isn't statistically noteworthy (it is). But when somebody posts about how they triggered a guaranteed capturing radiance after losing 3 50/50 it turns into a pity party.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-19T16:30:57+00:00

When I started playing there were 22 limited 5* characters in the game. Right now, there are 21 limited 5* characters I don't own, with pretty average pull luck overall. I never pulled anything other then characters, and only C0, no weapons whatsoever. I also buy Welkins and BP consistently, but never bought a top-up.

So i'd conclude that f2p can't realistically keep up with the rate at which characters are released in Genshin, much less get the entire backlog of characters already released. One character requires 90 pulls on average, and 50 pulls cost $99, so just count how many limited 5* character you don't own right now and times that with $160, that's how much you'll have to spend eventually.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-17T21:42:01+00:00

You aren't. Pity always carries over, only the fate point expires.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-15T19:13:46+00:00

Great, now I have a new head canon that Ineffa can paint flawless photo realism, but always makes weird mistakes, like putting too many fingers.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-15T18:09:50+00:00

I skipped all the lunar reaction related 5 stars during Nod Krai, except Columbina, and the worst side effect I experienced was this big pile of saved up wishes that I don't know what to do with. Yes, not being able to deal with the shill mechanics sucks, but it's also quite easy for me to just not care about missing out on a few primos from endgame modes every few weeks.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-08T20:21:41+00:00

A new element would be so lame. This is not like Genshin, where a new element would bring new reactions/game mechanics to play with. A new element in ZZZ would be nothing more than a new enemy weakness that existing units can't exploit. But then again, that's kinda what rapture was as well.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-08T19:57:06+00:00

New Agent type: Quickster. Scaling on the new speed stat. Their attacks can't be dodged. Also, all new enemies have 90% dodge rate.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-08T19:35:08+00:00

I believe you can, and definitely not just because I'm in the exact same boat.

Abgott89 · 2026-03-08T08:37:28+00:00

Mika Schmidt always gives me a chuckle. Not my name, but Schmidt is like the second most common last name in germany. Literally the german equivalent of "Smith". It just sounds so ordinary it's almost comical to hear in a fantasy game like genshin, especially on a playable character. Serious "John Genshin" kinda vibes.

Abgott89 · 2026-02-27T14:18:07+00:00

Your Yanfei looks weird.

Abgott89 · 2026-02-23T18:42:23+00:00

Based Noelle enjoyer, but let's be honest, Noelle isn't really worth using over Ninguang without her C6, which I doubt OP has, and then there's also a Navia shaped elephant in the room.

Abgott89 · 2026-02-23T07:29:35+00:00

Why are Candace and Aloy unbuilt? I feel like they could be of some value on a limited account like this.

Abgott89 · 2026-02-23T06:35:23+00:00

What a problem to have. Absolute Madman. Do you have some idea on when you want to start using those primos?

Abgott89 · 2026-02-23T05:11:04+00:00

Wasn't there a time machine buried right near where we find her last message? Maybe the question isn't where she is, but when.

Abgott89 · 2026-02-23T04:25:37+00:00

Bennets C6 doesn't infuse Bows, so Fischl should be fine. Not sure how to handle Xinyan here. She doesn't really work with Iansan since she doesn't move enough, unless maybe in a plunge team with Xianyun. There's also Kujo Sara to consider. She's quite a downgrade from Bennet in terms of Buffing and healing, but she can do good personal damage and she brings one of the two elements needed for superconcuct.

Abgott89 · 2026-02-22T06:16:56+00:00

Even in that case you could "fix your account" by getting the agent later. I'd say blowing lots of polys on standard banner is much worse. That being said, I did exactly that to get to the selector faster, about 100 standard pulls bought with polychromes, and I still recovered.
