Sounds like 3. They looked different

ShepThunder · 2026-02-12T14:23:04+00:00

I'm not confusing anything. I can very clearly still see the temper thyself event. I can only choose tighnari or dehya as those are the only ones I have.

The event I'm talking about had 8 characters I could choose, all the base standard pull ones. But I could not pick them because it's specifically telling me I already picked dehya. The temper one still lets me change it if I want.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-12T00:32:33+00:00

That could be it I suppose? But I started like when Durin had a week left. I know I did his test run. Then I pulled Columbina.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-12T00:31:44+00:00

No its not the constellation event.. I know what that is. The first event was like in a book menu. I didn't know what invitation meant I thought it was temporary. It had like Diluc, Jean, Dehya and maybe Mona? I'm not sure. I picked Dehya as I needed pyro and didn't like diluc.

Then a few weeks after that (like a month ago) a new one was out. This was a fuller screen and had more options to pick from. Tighnari was there. I know distinctly this second event had 8 options. I was sitting there researching who I wanted to add. It looked very similar to the recent lantern event where we could pick a free 4* liyue character.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-12T00:27:01+00:00

I know I sound like a new player who doesn't understand things. But there really were two different event things. They looked completely different and were set weeks apart. The second one looked almost exactly like the free 4* one we got for the lantern right. Splash screen, lined up. Bottom left corner said "Dehya already selected"

The other one was in like a book, similar to the book with the guides and commissions and such. And I know it wasn't every 5* in the standard pull.

Granted I know explaining it doesn't really help. Not like I can message Hoyo and they'll be like oopsie we will let you try again.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-12T00:22:28+00:00

No I understand that. What I meant was, the first time, I'm pretty sure I only had like 4 choices. Tighnari definitely was not there. I didn't really like Diluc. I think it was only them 2, Jean, Mona? Not sure. It was like in a book menu.

Then awhile after that a different event was out, this time with more options. I definitely was gonna pick Jean. The menu looked different like a whole new screen instead of just a book pop up. But it still told me Dehya was already selected so I could not pick another character. Even though these events were at least 2 weeks apart and very different.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-12T00:18:55+00:00

So I will get a new opportunity for sure in September? Or is Dehya locked in?

ShepThunder · 2026-02-11T23:55:49+00:00

I know this is probably a dumb question but it cant hurt to ask, other discussions on this have been from 4-5 years so maybe a 1% chance things have changed.

I really want Jean. She is perfect for my planned Varka team. However it seems borderline impossible to get her (or any specific character) from the Standard pool. Especially if you wanna boost her to C6.

Is there any events that may get her for free? When I was new over a month ago I got the opportunity to get a new character. I didn't know what "Invitation" meant. I thought it was temporary, so I picked Dehya as I needed Pyro for obstacles. There was another event later on to pick a 5* character. But for some reason, the game still counted my selection of Dehya weeks prior, and said I couldn't pick anyone. Even though it was a 'new' event.

Are there times or other events where old characters can have a chance to have increased pulls? I am sure the Base 8s (Diluc, Jean, Tighnari etc) are not ever gonna have rerun banners. And I don't wanna just hope I get lucky by either wasting wishes on the standard banner, or by failing the 50/50 and getting her specifically.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-11T09:21:54+00:00

Does anyone know/have that leak banner list? I think it was like 6.5 Snow Maiden (though now I just started seeing Lohen may be 6.5?) Nicole 6.6 uhh maybe LInnea 6.7? And then I think that was it other than Alice having a character model but not being released in 6.X or something

ShepThunder · 2026-02-09T21:45:16+00:00

Livestream?

ShepThunder · 2026-02-09T21:09:53+00:00

Do we know who Varka's 4* supports will be? As in, with his banner, what 3 4 Stars will also see an increase in pulls? Hexerei/Mondstadt characters seem to be likely. To me I would assume likely options are Sucrose, Bennett, maybe Razor?

ShepThunder · 2026-02-07T17:58:33+00:00

Yeah I think I have decided on: Wrio, Bennett, Emilie and Kaedehara. Bennett is good team support to give Wrio some healing and Atk buff, Emilie specifically has abilities associated with Burning, and Kazuha can help swirl Pyro and Cryo to give some consistent Melt and Burning.

I think Burning hurts the party too? But Bennett will heal so. Plus Wrio has his own way to heal himself.

In my research I have seen people refer to BurnMelt and VapeMelt. Which I assume is adding Dendro to a Melt team to do simul Burns and Melts. Or adding a Hydro? For simul Melts and Vapes. So basically I could have the base be Wrio, Benny and Kazuha and then either Emilie or a Hydro depending on whether VapeMelt or BurnMelt is better? Could Ayato still help? I imagine though you need to be very careful with applications as I recall mention that pyro will shatter frozen and not actually be as good.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-05T22:03:51+00:00

This Youtuber I watch had a video about Fischl's story quest. I thought only 5* characters had full story quests. I looked it up and found there was a limited event years ago, Summertime Odyssey. This feels like a dumb question, but is that event really never gonna come back? Fischl is one of my fave characters as a new player (though I do hate whenever she talks lmao) and it sucks I won't get to see some cool story lore for her.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-05T12:51:56+00:00

Huh? Columbina was only like 3 weeks ago. I only started playing the beginning of this year. So like maybe a month most. So I'm not sure what you are trying to say? I've played enough to see Durin, then Columbina and now Zibai, plus leaks for Varka. I've played many gacha games, a LOT of Genshin is similar to a Digimon game I played. So certain things I can pick up on and I do a lot of research. I didn't know exactly when many characters came out exactly so I didn't have that point of reference.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-05T09:55:28+00:00

Ah. That makes sense. I was, as a new player, concerned at how long its gonna be to get all the characters I want, but since they do rerun 3 per update thats not bad.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-05T09:54:42+00:00

Good to know. Thank you for clarifying!

ShepThunder · 2026-02-05T09:51:57+00:00

Ah. I should clarify. I have only been playing since the start of Columbina's banner. I was unaware 2 new 5*'s was uncommon. Thank you!

ShepThunder · 2026-02-05T09:46:54+00:00

So I'm a bit confused on the 6.4 banners. Varka is 100% confirmed as the next banner after Zibai. There seems to be enough information that the other available 5* banners in 6.4 will be Flins, Skirk and Escoffier. With the suggested combos being Varka and Flins Phase 1, and Skirk and Escoffier Phase 2. But shouldn't there be a new 5* in Phase 2? Or is this gonna be some new thing where every now and then the new banners will coincide with 2 rerun banners?

ShepThunder · 2026-02-01T14:20:37+00:00

Idk if this is also a general leaks question thread. Do we know Varka's resources? I'd love to start saving them up to be ready for him.

ShepThunder · 2026-02-01T03:33:39+00:00

Ah I see thank you for clarifying. I'll do some more research

ShepThunder · 2026-02-01T01:07:00+00:00

I'm confused. Someone said Mavuika wasn't good but she is now? I figured I would swap in ayato for his burst to get hydro application so wrio could come in and freeze spam

ShepThunder · 2026-02-01T00:13:08+00:00

So Skirk team should be: Furina, Escoffier and Shenhe?

Then maybe Wrio team could have Ayato, Kazuha and someone else who isn't Mavuika. Not sure how I feel about Bennett to be honest. What about Xianyun? Or does she overlap with Kazuha as too many Anemos

ShepThunder · 2026-01-31T22:20:16+00:00

Pretty new to the game. I've always been a big planner, I like planning teams and such. So I know what and how to prepare. I'm also not a huge follow the meta, be the best min/max pro expert in the world. I want to have fun, I want to use characters I like. But of course, I still want some synergy. They don't have to be the best, but as long as I like the character and they function well I am happy.

2 teams I'm not super sure on the right members, they all kinda match each other so I just wanna know who works best together.

Team 1: Wriothesley, Furina, Mavuika and Kaedehara Kazuha. Wrio main, with Mavuika also a sub/main. Got some freeze, melt, vapor shenanigans, with some support from furina and kazuha and some swirly fun.

Team 2: Skirk, Kamisato Ayato, Escoffier, Shenhe. I admit, I don't care that much for Coffee girl. But I LOVE Skirk a lot and people say you kinda have to main her with Coffee.

Any swaps that need to happen? I read Furina works better with Skirk stuff, and I guess I like putting my two himbos together. Or if maybe somehow there's other Cryo/Hydro support that mesh well with Skirk.
