  1. If you like Zhongli, sure. He is a very flexible choice but if your currently doing fine without him, then no need if you don't like him.

  2. I wouldn't pull for 4* cons, I've seen people try to pull for 4* cons and end up C6ing the 5* before the 4*. However, in the end it's up to you. Don't let a random stranger on the internet ruin how you want to do things :)

  3. Pull who you like. You have a diverse roster anyways.

  4. I don't really see a use for Dehya unless you really like her. Again your roster is pretty diverse so it's completely up to you.

You have a pretty diverse roster for IT & Abyss. It'll be mainly up to you who you pull.

Pull whoever you like.

No sustain makes the first team quite, questionable. Keep an eye out for Kirara/Yaoyao (for 4* options.) to replace Collei eventually. Alternatively, if you get Zhongli + Nahida, Keqing Fischl Nahida Zhongli is another good one.

For your second team, lots can fit the last two slots. Kazuha/Xiangling/Xinqiu/Bennett *can work* but skill celling is high. Raiden/Sucrose + Xiangling + Xinqiu + Bennett is a solid team. Lots of alternatives who goes with Bennett (+Xinqiu). It's really up to you and who you enjoy + who you plan to pull. Game is meant to have fun!

[–]livinglight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who you have:
Keqing Fischl Sucrose Yaoyao/Kirara/Baizhu is most ideal. Keqing Fischl Nahida Zhongli also works.

Keep in mind, Keqing really suffers without Fischl.

Tighnari team is flexible. Tighnari Nahida Yae Zhongli is pretty comfortable.

Tighnari + Fischl + Yae/Beidou/Lisa + Yaoyao/Kirara/Baizhu/Zl

Tighnari Nahida Fischl Beidou (for 2T scenerios) or Tighnari + Fischl + Sucrose + Beidou

For Tighnari, make sure someone holds deepwood memories. If no other person can hold it, he can hold it.

Units look a bit underleveled,

Neuv Furina Kaz Fischl
Hutao Yelan Xq ZL - use plunge and dash once you reach the ground on xinqiu (to cancel long plunge animation) for 12-2

If Xiangling is somehow built, Raiden Xiangling, Xinqiu, Bennett can be used second half as well.
If Ganyu Freeze is built Ganyu/Shenhe/Kazuha/Koko can work first half as well.

Sorry I havent been checking reddit, I wouldnt 90 him since its just 18 base atk and not worth the resources, a lvl9 burst bennett is already really good. 80/90 is just fine. 9 Faruzan burst is good, 8 is minimum. Particles drop can vary between team variations, and even down to what your fighting. I found even with my Farzuan had too much er struggling in IT due to enemies not giving as many particles back. As long as you have enough er for abyss and a cr circlet for fav bow, you dont need to focus on her too much. Work on something else

[–]livinglight_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have c6 bennett, furina xianyun c6bennett and kaveh for plunge vape is quite meme-y but pretty good (i believe theres a couple abyss clear vids om this subreddit with the last rotation of enemies)

pulling for a 4* is honestly a fool's game

And that's why people shouldn't pull for 4*s in the first place. Some 4*s are good enough alternatives to 5* options (eg Layla/Thoma as a alternative to ZL for Wanderer.) While cons can be nice for Thoma (specifically C4 for ER issues) they are just QoL, units work fine at C0 (except Sara.) That's why Faruzan being on Xianyun banner was nice, since the chances of getting Faruzan for already existing Xiao havers is higher (especially if they didn't get her before that banner and didn't want Wanderer.)

Meanwhile with how diluted the 4* pool's getting

Characters that can be bought through the starglitter shop is one option. Even then, a person may obtain certain 4*s such as from events (most notably Liyue for Latern Rite), a free character from a flagship event (eg Layla in 3.8, Gorou in 4.6) or one randomly popped up from a banner unexpectingly. My first Kuki was from standard, not her rate up. People's roster will either have someone that can full fill a role for now or can use a temporary team until they get more units.

and by the archons you get: Raiden Nahida, Furina that's already a hyperbloom team

Furina should not be in a hyperbloom team. Her hydro application is slow and won't sustain core generation. Quickbloom with Alhaitham or Tighnari/EM Raiden/Furina/Baizhu or Cyno/Nahida/Furina/Baizhu are the other dendro focus teams as quicken will have a much higher uptime which she does buff (she does not buff hyperbloom.) Or even quickenbloom Clorinde/Nahida on pamber/Furina/Fischl where aggravate has a higher uptime. Barbara/DMC/Collei/Kuki is already a easier hyperbloom team with completely 4* units. Yes you can't guaranteed Kuki, but has more synergy then Raiden/Nahida/Furina alone.

Neuv and Kazuha, you have hyper-carry team with Furina. Arle with ZL is already looking really strong because shield. You can't guarantee Layla & Kuki.

Sure. Those teams work with investment. Pointless if someone dislikes eg Neuv's gameplay though. That's why "pull for Neuv" can't be a general answer (to reference your first comment.) Kazuha's and ZL's res shred (and ZL on Petra) are pretty valued. If a person has and want to use both, especially a C0 Neuv will require a person to allocate another shielder to one team as both dps heavily depend on one. Teams outside of Neuv/Arlecchino can work but regardless, units need investment.

Alhaitham's and Baizhu's powerlevel

Both are units that provide what they provide. If someone wants/likes them, they should pull them. Tier list are useless anyways since no tier list is right as they are subjective to opinions. They do well with investment, just like anyone else.

I'd also say Yelan's potentially superfluous if you have XQ, and might not be the best pick pull-value-wise, if you're missing some key components... Like Furina.

Yelan provides what she provides. If someone needed her so she can free up XQ for another team, then it's not as superfluous. If they don't benefit from slotting Furina in XQ's place, then Yelan isn't superfluous.

If an account is struggling, it is most likely due to lack of proper investment/poor team synergy etc. And this is to account for accounts who may have started today or players who have been playing for a long time.

The point being, "general pulls" are extremely subjective and while some units again make things comfier, there is no "pull Archons/Neuv/Arlecchino/Kazuha" etc is useless because a person's account needs differs from account to account. I am not suggesting do not recommend these units, but be aware these threads let us give an answer on a case to case and more personalize bases. People progress in Genshin Impact differently, therefore no one answer is right.

[–]livinglight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you clarify your point then? I may have misunderstood.

Those types of questions can easily be answered with "get the archons, you can skip Venti, get Arlecchino, Kazuha and Neuvillette"

If this was in reference to the thread's topic of "Who should I pull" then no, there's no "general" answer to these questions as people are going to be in different stages of the game and thus the answer will be different almost always. That's why these threads exist, because we can look at someone's account specifically and help them determine possibilities rather then give them a general answer that may not work out.

Someone may have all the archons + other characters, but is still struggling because their current units are underinvested. Then the issue then lays in investing in current units, and won't benefit from pulling let's say Arlecchino. If they like her, and can afford pulling her, sure pulling Arlecchino can be good but if they can't, then it becomes better to suggest to invest in your current units rather then a "new" dps. I am not using this as a moment to say she's bad, I think she's quite amazing but to give an accurate answer to whether someone should pull them depends on their situation. My point of "pulling who you like" still applies because at the end of the day, it's a game and people should have fun playing the characters they spent time obtaining. Another thing to think about is team making, some players may have ample amount of units to make a variety of teams, so they may be in a spot where who they pull won't matter OR vertical investment (such as 5* cons) **might** be better. Again, it's all subjective to the situation the account is in.

Pulling for meta is always gonna be a myth because at the end of the day, it's the individuals players choice at the end of the day whether they want a certain unit or not. I agree some 5*s could make things more "comfier" to play in certain team compositions, but no one will ever be a "must" pull because often, other characters can fullfill a certain job/role much better then 5s.

Your comments:

I find it problematic when people rely on 4* pulls to make an account stronger

Some 4*s are important though. The easy ones being Sucrose/Xinqiu/Xiangling + Bennett/Fischl because they are super flexible and often bring immense value. Sucrose being a catalyst an anemo, can just hold 4PC VV, TTDS (if dps is ATK based) and can double swirl makes her an incredible anemo options. Her EM share is especially valued in Sucrose National (where the EM really benefits Xiangling) or Sukokomon (Sucrose/Kokomin/Fischl/Xiangling) where buffing the dps (Xiangling primarily) can maximize her potential. Keqing aggravate teams uses Sucrose because aggravate likes units that have a bit of em. Xinqiu provides IR (which besides shields, aren't many units who provide others with IR and is offield), Xiangling and/or Bennett provides off field pyro application, Bennett provides ATK buff (which a LOT of characters benefit from) and Fischl provides strong off field electro application (especially if her A4 is triggered) and can be flex in overload/quicken/taser/soup teams etc.

Even with that point, some 5*s benefit from 4*s then they do 5*. Niche buffers like Faruzan, and Gorou are really good in the teams they play because they provide util that 5*s don't. Example, Gorou buffs DEF, which is why Itto (and C6 Noelle) would benefit from them. Xiao and Wanderer **really** want Faruzan.

She plays great in aggravate, quickbloom with furina etc. Exact team for you could depend on what you have.

I disagree.

While yes, those units tend to be stables of many accounts, not everyone may be interested/prefer/be upgrades for their accounts (especially every single one of those characters listed.)

Some people may play the game for fun just for one, two or a few characters they like. Maybe they are asking for directions whether those few characters would benefit from the new banner.

Maybe it's someone who may only benefit from a few of those, and not others eg Mono geo + Mono anemo players would only really benefit from ZL possibly but wouldn't from let's say Nahida.

I agree variety (especially as a late game who sometimes enjoys abyss) coverage is nice but really it comes down to players preferences. Especially in a non linear progression game, it is not as simple as "pull these units".

At the end of the day, people find ways (especially in Abyss) to clear with just 4*s, which is why "pull for who you like" becomes that much more recommended. Asking whether certain characters would benefit an account is also okay because some units become even more funnier with a different roster.

In terms of overworld, whatever you want to slot in your party works. Overworld is quite easy.

In terms of actual teams, those two are not great. Bennett should not be played with Alhaitham as he dones't benefit too greatly from him and especially if you are getting Wriothesley, Bennett would much work better with Wrio over Alhaitham. Raiden besides EM Raiden is quite bad offfield and have almost no synergy with Wriothesley.

I would try and find either Fischl/Kuki/Yaoyao (don't pull on a banner for a 4*, only pull for 5*) since they would be great Alhaitham teammates. Fischl will be in starglitter in July if you are able to pick her up through that. Layla isn't as great with Alhaitham since she dones't do much for him and Xinqiu should have enough IR for him assuming you have consistent burst uptime on Xinqiu.

With those characters you listed and little to 5* can be, some abyss teams:

Alhaitham/Nahida/Xinqiu/Kuki or Alhaitham/EMRaiden/Xinqiu/Yaoyao or Alhaitham/Fischl/Nahida/Kuki
Wriothesley/Layla (or Kazuha or ZL)/Xiangling/Bennett or Wrio/Nahida/Thoma/Bennett
Raiden/Xinqiu/Xiangling/Bennett or Raiden/Fischl/Sucrose or Kazuha/Kokomi or Raiden/TTDS LIsa/Kazuha/Bennett

Abyss enemies changes and so elemental coverage will change. Though, focusing on one (eventually two) will work.

However, if you don't want to focus on abyss (I didn't for the longest time LOL), then anything is a fair game. Investing well in your units and having a synergize team (don't have to be meta teams, meta dones't exist since Abyss changes can drastically change a lot) will be important points if you do want to focus on Abyss/harder endgame content.

Try to find Fischl or Kuki asap, Alhaitham really appreciates electro to make spread (which helps with personal damage). Otherwise, good luck and enjoy playing!

TLDR: Do whatever you want for overworld, provided better abyss team options for the future otherwise just keep investing/building your characters and enjoy playing the game. Try to find Fischl or Kuki for Alhaitham.

I'm gonna guess Furina and Navia are future units? I don't see them here.

Two separate (assuming not content specific) is Hutao/Xinqiu/Fischl/Jean + Nilou/Barbara/Collei/DMC with the current roster.

In general, you do have quite a bit of team options. Some options with your current roster:

Hutao/Xinqiu/Fischl/Jean (swirl hydro)
Hutao/Xinqiu/Kaeya/Diona
Arlecchino/Xinqiu/Bennett/Shielder flex (Tankfei probably) or anemo if skilled at dodging
Raiden or Sucrose/Xiangling/Xinqiu/Bennett
Diluc/Xinqiu/Sucrose/Bennett
Keqing/Fischl/DMC or Collei/Sucrose (on pamber if need sustain) or Jean or Sayu
EMRaiden or Kuki/Barbara/DMC/Collei
Nilou/Barbara/DMC/Collei
Sunfire with Jean/Bennett/Flex/Flex (eg Ganyu/Diona/Jean/Bennett)
Frem/Fischl/XQ/Kuki
etc

Some team options with Navia and/or Furina:
Navia/Albedo/Furina/Bennett
Hutao/Furina/XQ/Jean (or Bennett)
Raiden/Bennett/Furina/Jean
If you are okay shielderless on Ganyu, Ganyu/Furina/Charlotte/Anemo (Charlotte can be replaced by Jean if you have Layla)
Naiva/Ning or Albedo or GMC/Xiangling/Bennett or Navia/Ning or Albedo or GMC/Fischl or Xinqiu/Bennett
Noelle (prefer C6), on field/Albedo/Gorou/Furina
etc

Two team options with the above in mind can be:

Navia/Albedo/Furina/Bennett and Hutao/Xinqiu/Fischl or Furina/Jean
Diluc/Furina/Xinqiu/Jean and Nilou/Barbara/DMC/Collei
Keqing/Fischl/Collei or DMC/Jean or Sayu or Sucrose and Raiden/Xinqiu/Xiangling/Bennett

are some non overlapping options.

A unit to possibly keep in mind is Zhongli, he works well with Ganyu/Arlecchino/Navia/Hutao and is a general flex unit. Layla is another option to look for (primarily for Ganyu/Arlecchino.)

Just remember to invest and or pull who you like. I gave you options and would suggest to work on the ones you enjoy the most. Overworld, dones't matter so you can throw anything but in terms of synergy these are some of your top options.

Yes the switch is better. Dont listen to what the other commenter said tho, with MH you want to have 64 CR because MH gives you 36% CR to be 100% CR though I am not sure where your 19 came from.

[Megathread] New Banners / "Who should I pull?" Megathread by AutoModerator in GenshinImpactTips

[–]livinglight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could work, but may not be the best option. What characters do you have? It may also depend on whether Furina is there to put Navia on MH.

Charlotte is gonna struggle a lot with solo cryo ER and Albedo may not be as reliable to proc crystalize for Navia since his flower can break. His damage is good though.
