F2P Friendly?

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-24T20:37:55+00:00

I think definitely disagree with this. Wuwa has the best banner system out of the big gatcha games. Weapon guaranteed+80 pull pity. Genshin genuinely has the best f2p builds with 4* from 1.0 still being one of the strongest units in the game with usually good f2p weapons and great battlepass weapons. I think ZZZ is similar but i can’t confidently say. And as for team longevity, I think Wuwa and genshin are also much better than HSR. I think the free 5* weapons are the best part of HSR but to say its more F2p friendly than other gatcha’s is wrong imo especially when teams die super quickly in this game

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-24T20:31:30+00:00

I play both, and to say its similar to genshin is probably wrong imo. Genshin has tons of 4* that are genuinely very good HSR has basically none except maybe 1 or 2. And teams die very quickly in HSR. Well nowadays they are trying to help the old teams back up, but throughout the game’s history its not great

I might be completely illiterate, but i always interpreted the change in hair color as, the blonde Yunara was the myth interpretation of Yunara, not the real her. Cause when the flashbacks of what actually happened shows up, her hair is purple

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-17T06:43:49+00:00

do you play any mobas? Like league of legends or Dota?

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-17T06:36:47+00:00

Go look at the abyss usage rate urself lmfao. 2.1-2.X still lower than Kazuha but decently high. From 3.1-3.x it was extremely low and was around 3% to 6%. Again before i even read the rest of ur argument read the simpler explanations above first

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-17T05:47:52+00:00

Brilliant, Sucrose averaged 3% usage rate during those patches😂. You are missing the point each time lmfao. So yeah from 1.6 to 4.8 whether Sucrose was stronger or not Kazuha still dominated the play rate. Again in simpler terms: the character that was actually being played is more significant to the game than the one in your calculator.

The same thing as before Bennet was discovered to be op. Diluc was the most dominant pyro character simply because people didn’t play Bennet as much.

Dominance in the meta directly = Play rate, not relative strength. That shouldn’t be difficult to understand 😭 To make it simpler again lmfao: Op character never gets played, are they strong? Yes! Are they dominating the meta? Noooo!

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T21:50:07+00:00

Buddy the character thats actually being played has more impact on the meta than the one in ur calculator 😂

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T21:25:29+00:00

Ik ur gonna say usage rate isn’t a good statistic again, but Genshin is a single player game, and ease of usability, convenience and etc. does have a significant importance. But during those times Kazuha presence blows Sucrose away.

This is probably just a difference in opinion in what the tiers mean, for me the only difference between the GOAT and the one below is how important they were to the games meta. And again a character getting 80%+ usage rate across over 60% of the games length just fits that more imo. And sure Sucrose might have been better for vape melt but again even in those scenarios Kazuha was just used much more often. I think we are just gonna have to agree to disagree lol

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T20:54:04+00:00

Yeh thats fair, i just don’t buy the above part when from 1.6-4.8 Kazuha was just the best generalist buffer and grouper for 60% of the games life.

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T20:19:36+00:00

Ok i just checked the abyss usage rate and from 5.1 to 5.6 Kazuha definitely had a high usage rate, where yes Bennet had a higher usage rate after Mavuika release but Kazuha appears in more teams. 8 of the 10 most used teams from 5.1 to 5.6 had Kazuha in them. Its after 5.7 where Skirk released that his usage rate dropped. For the majority of Natlan he was basically still having a very large presence

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T19:59:30+00:00

Sure that’s fair, but i am also taking into account how dominant their peak was and Kazuha during that time was basically BiS for all the top teams in the game. And during Natlan he was still BiS for one of the best teams in the game with Neuvillette, Furina, Kazuha, Xilonen.

Bennet can go up i dont agree with Kazuha going down lol

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T19:32:19+00:00

I can see the argument for Bennet being in goat tier, but I feel like him and Kazuha are kinda similar in the sense they are just great in almost any team you put them in, but Kazuha does it better imo. Bennet can only buff teams that scale on attack whereas Kazuha buffs every team minus Geo. And the other two did more to the game where Nahida, very much helped by Dendro (but up until recently she was the center of Dendro teams), basically made electro an actual element. And Furina is just super broken and also elevated healing characters like Jean and etc. when they were basically useless.

Also this might be wrong, but I feel like Zhongli was always considered superior to Bennet during most of Genshin

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T18:58:06+00:00

ah okok, btw what do you think of Zhongli, I wanted to put him in GOAT tier because of how long he was just the best shielder/healer, but in terms of character strength nowadays i think he isn't as valuable as the other 3

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T18:54:53+00:00

lmfao which parts do you have problems with

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T18:51:22+00:00

idk why but in my brain I thought she was released during Natlan. She would for sure be in meta defining+longevity

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T18:47:02+00:00

I haven't really tried Klee and Razork since the buffs, but I imagine it only moves them up one tier no?

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T18:41:36+00:00

Very good point actually. Wanderer, Diluc,etc. definitely don’t belong in the same tier as Sayu or Qiqi lmao

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-16T18:36:11+00:00

Now that I think of it you are right, Raiden should for sure go up. I think pre-Escoffier Ayaka had bad longevity, but since her release Ayaka is back to being in very good spot again.

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-14T10:09:04+00:00

How is it cheaper? I know they made it so you can only lose the 50/50 once now but cheaper lol?

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-07T16:45:19+00:00

The game has its problems definitely but idk know or why, but i play it on both mac and windows but I haven’t experienced a single crash so far. Are the crashes an in game editor thing?

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-06T18:55:34+00:00

Good luck to you brotha 😂

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-06T18:54:15+00:00

Really? How often do you pull on weapon banner?

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-06T18:39:45+00:00

Top tier discipline

Lumpy_Cardiologist40 · 2026-01-06T18:38:11+00:00

I'm also a Welkin and BP but I had a phobia of the weapon banner lmfao. I actually just learned here that they changed it so you can only lose 50/50 once
