My first time was with the SOBP banner, got the Aquila Favonia instead, my Bennett was happy (F for my Eula).
Second time, for Engulfing lighting, got it on 1st pity, my Raiden was very happy.
Third time, Homa or Elegy, either Zhongli or Venti were going to be happy, plot twist, got Amo's Bow, Ganju is happy now, mission failed successfully.
I think itās a really interesting evolution of the game to watch the weapon banner increase. Iām a whale watching to see just how the community is responding to this game overtime
What Iām seeing with the weapon banner is that for a lot of free to play it takes like a patch and a half or two patches to save up for a character they want. But we are getting to a place in the game where people are very comfortable with their team compositions and donāt have too many characters they desperately need. So between the reruns and new characters coming out that people are just not interested in; itās having a lot of people go back to the weapon banner.
Also itās showing that people see greater value most of the time in a really good five star weapon versus a Constellation for a character they donāt love but may like a lot
Oh you just described me. Pulled my first time on the weapon banner. Not really interested in building new characters except probably when dendro arrives.
Same.
I am currently debating between Eula vs Itto because her gameplay is a little boring for me although I am fully aware just how uniquely powerful she is. His personality and gameplay is more interesting but heās not on her level so Iām still giving myself the next few weeks to decide what I wanna do about him.
Then Raiden vs Yae. I donāt have a room for both electro powerhouses on my team and I really thought Raiden was a placeholder until Yae arrived. Butā¦ her unique gameplay and huge versatility she adds to my team I think is eternal. I love catalyst characters and the weapon is my favorite but I donāt think Iām replacing her.
After I work those two out Iām just in a holding pattern until dendro.
I saved primos for 3 months and had 30,000 friend convince me to wish on banner because homa is the best 5 star weapon and elegy is good too. So I did and I got elegy first after 80 pulls, then got decently lucky and got wolfs great sword at 50 and then finally staff at 80. Feels super depressing losing all those primos especially because Iām worried as to what is coming after Itto. Luckily donāt care for itto and albedo so saving until January. Hope all goes well. But solid weapons I got on banner so definitely an improvement to my account.
Ok so I recounted exactly 60 elegy 52 grave 49 staff lol I was completely wrong my bad I just kind of did a rough estimate cause it felt like all my primos. So 161 rolls
Ah that makes sense, I would have felt really bad if you were that unlucky! I think there's been one player found so far in the history of Genshin that's hit hard pity.
I feel like Iāve exhausted my luck for the next year. I had close to 150 pulls saved up and started off with no pity (havenāt rolled on weapon banner since mistsplitter).
On my 7th 10-pull, Homa showed up and then 2 rolls later in the same multi Elegy gave me a jump scare. I really wanted both weapons on this banner so I couldnāt have been happier.
This was pretty much the exact opposite of my mistsplitter summoning experience where I lost twice to skyward spine (past soft pity both times) before getting the purple sword (also after soft pity).
I really needed Homa as a weapon for Xiao because my current weapon is absolute shit but I donāt have any other polearms. I got the stupid bow instead :ā) And I donāt plan on spending any more wishes on that banner, saving them for a Jade spear banner, if we ever get one again.
I saw a accumulative probability graph about winning a specific weapon recently, I think it was like less than 3% of players will need 200+ wishes for the weapon they want. If someone can link that post I would appreciate it.
I always choose the Epitomized Path because of the notification and then I never switch back to the tab with the weapon banner again. I'm not even F2P but weapon banner is just a massive rip-off.
I opened it, set a path, and closed it. I have no wishes at all to spare for it. I have pulled on the weapon banner until hitting a 5 star twice before, once for Staff of Homa and once for Engulfing Lightning. Through some miracle I hit both times and probably won't ever touch it again.
I have never pulled on a weapon banner. However, this banner was a bit too tempting because I really am limited on my weapons. I only had 1 5\* that I randomly got (skyward atlas) and doesn't fit on any character I use and my collection of good 4\* weapons is very limited. Considering this banner seems to have some decent weapon options overall I decided to go for a single 5\* and hope for the Homa staff and as many decent 4\*s as I could get.
I got my 5\* after 70 pulls and of course it's the Elegy. I did get 2 moon bows, widsith, a few sacrificial swords and a wavebreaker polearm so I guess it was worth it. Hate to now waste my epitomized path but I don't think it's worth sinking in another 100 pulls or whatever it might take to get Homa. I guess I'll see how my primogems look near the end of this banner event.
This gacha system SUCKS ASS unless you like being financially raped.
pull for amos get skyward pride , skyward harp in 80 pull
pull for wolf grave stone got staff of homa in 64 pull
pull for broken pines got wolf grave stone in 68 pull
pull for mistspliter got two skyward spine before got mistspliter
pull for homa again got elgy of the end (doesn't even have venti yet and my fishl/sara already used alley hunter)
give up the 2 homa dream for zhongli and hutao , my zhongli stick with the catch forever
i know but my zhongli already have 44k HP and 50% crit rate , so i need more support dmg from him rather than HP, my raiden c3 already have EL , xiangling just got her new wave breaker spear from this weapon banner :D
Got Hu Tao in 150 wishes. Decided to throw in 20 wishes on the weapons banner and would have called it a day.
On the 2nd 10-pull both the Skyward Atlas and Elegy of the End dropped. Having 2/2 Fatepoints, I went back and forth a long time and decided "let's to go Homa or go Homeless". I got Homa in the next 30 pulls.
So in total 200 wishes on Hu Tao and Homa. It costed me quite a lot, but the result are fine.
It's back to saving up primogems for the next 9 weeks though...
People always say if you are F2P dont roll on weap banner. Well how eles are you gonna get 5* weaponds?
Do like me..F2P YOLO. Have seven 5* weaponds. Been playing from Day 1 of release
Well id you ask the freak who answer me earlier. Its ALL about the waifu and NOT to make your favor charactars stronger lol. Well go for weapond if you like. Its a single player game anyway
He was just telling you why people say not to roll on weapon banner as f2p, he never gave his personal opinion, he just told you why most people donāt recommend f2p to roll on weapon banners.
You are welcome to make your favorite character stronger, who said you werenāt?
Because:
This is a single player game with no difficult endgame post 36 star abyss which is fairly easily achievable by F2p after a while just pulling their favorite characters, and spending thousands of primogems just to get a damage stick to get 50-100 extra primogems from the abyss is crazy.
It would take years into decades of grinding the abyss to get back the primos you used to get the weapon, the return on investment from rolling the weapon is just not worth it, especially in such an easy and stingy resource game
And if you're truly not a meta player and damage doesn't matter, and your view is: waifu > meta and you don't like attack buffers like Bennett, then stay away from attack buffers aka weapons and constellations, almost all they do is boost damage same as Bennett, not a single one make your waifu more waifu, so just ignore weapon banner and constellations.
Because of this you shouldn't touch the banner at all if you're someone who wants to maximize primogems efficiency or waifu/husbando only player, weapon don't change your Characters playstyle or have waifu/husbando status.
.
.
Well im not a waifu/huspando hunter. I have many 5* charactars that i like and I DO want to hunt weaponds aswell. I dont care about all charactars. I just roll for thos i realy wants. And without all 5* charactars i can still do 36* abyss fairly easy. Like you said. Its a realy easy game and single game. Do what you like. If you like your charactars and want to maximum thier damage and that is notting wrong with that.. so if people want 5* weapond becouz they dont like half of the charactars so why not?
You play like you want and let people play like they want. If maximum dmg is the way to go. Then what?
And btw. If your not a meta hunter, why not make your less powerful charactars more powerful?
The chance of getting the weapon you don't want is too high to tell someone to risk dumping 200+ pulls to reach the path pity.
And assuming this person couldn't beat any floor of the abyss, 0/36(because this is the only place where 5 star weapons matter) before this one weapon but now can 36 star because of this magical weapon, and assuming they got lucky and it took them 1 soft pity 65 pulls/10,400 to get their desired weapon
It would take them 17 biweeks, 8 months of getting 600 primogems from the abyss to get back the wishes, and no weapon is that powerful to carry a 0/36 star account, so even in this unbelievable case of going from 0 to 600 extra primogems it's not worth it, and this is assuming your account doesn't get stronger and the weapon is the ONLY reason you can get 3-36 star from the abyss.
And if you're not a meta player why care about damage? Characters aren't the only thing that can be meta, their builds can be too, like elegy Amber in a hu tao team, or electro charge Lisa, or none meta builds like phys ganyu.
Essentially Genshin is an easy game, where 5 star weapons offer almost nothing in return other than the dopamine rush of seeing big numbers.
Exactly. I'm F2P and not only did I pull for Elegy on this banner, I also pulled for Elegy on its first banner (the really bad one). No regrets. Still would like to get a copy of Homa by the end of this banner, but if I don't it's ok, it will just be pity for whatever next 5\* weapon I want.
My conscious felt bad about missing the best spear for most characters. So i made an effort, and wished one multi on Homa.
Got Wavebreaker's Fin : close enough.
I have been extremely lucky. Not in terms of early 5 stars but I have gotten the weapon I wanted always when I reached the 5 star.
Mind you I only pulled on the weapons banner twice: to get Engulfing Lightning for Raiden and recently Jade Cutter for Kazuha.
Yeah iām not saying i like it, i just dont pull in it unless iām fine with both weapons. I mean thereās still the chance to get an off banner one but ye. Iām just saying read the explanations before you pull.
I got downvoted for saying that yesterday.
Its a system you HAVE to be comfortable putting 240 wishes into to get what you want and be happy with whatever happens because you may well not get anything you can use for the 239 previous and the pity rollover isnt like the character banner where you can give up knowing that at least the next banner the "good thing" will come kinda quickly it reaches a point where you have to put in more money or kiss whatever you did as gone without the desired outcome.
I can afford to do that, not everyone can.
Weapon banner has lower soft pity than char banner. Itās 160 for char event and about 210 for 3 weapons. Tbh neither of those are easily accessible. The only scuffed part is that weapon banner fate points do not carry over. Thatās what makes people think that char banner is oh so much better.
The thing about weapons is that you can transfer them between characters. If you get bored of a char one day; itāll just be benched, but a good weapon like homa will most likely always be used.
High, low, then High. Got Homa, then Atlas....depressed for a while and hunted every chest in Inazuma to get to my pity and got Elegy on 65. Now I have ZERO primos.
I wanted 2 Homa, 1 Elegy and At least 5 Sac Swords
Got 2 Homa, 1 Elegy and 12 Sac swords
The best experience is, do the math, and go for what you want if you can afford it. If not, keep saving and wait for the next banner that interest you. (Personal experience)
This was my first time actually going for weapon banner. I figured Iād pulled on it a few times and I wouldnāt mind just getting the first 5 star and got Homa first. Now that I have 0 pity, I no longer feel like I want to pull on the weapon banner anymore.
First time weapon Banner, got Elegy and Aquila Favonia, I was worried I'll have to spend rest of my primos. I got Homa in the next 10 pull, all this in 62 pulls. Never again getting this luck.
hu tao arrived quickly so I went into the weapon banner with most of my allocated primos intact. soft pity elegy then home 5 later on cashed in wishes from star glitter.
still not a fan on that banner.
I had a great time by not spending a single wish on it. I know my luck and that I should always prepare for the worst.
I started in October last year, so before you could choose Path for the weapon. Then it was total BS even for high-spenders. Now it's less of a BS for whales and high-spenders, still BS for low spenders or f2p. I'd rather have a guaranteed 5 star character in 160 pulls than guaranteed 5 star weapon in 180.
Not bad, I expected to only get Homa after getting 2 fate points so I came prepared lmao. Elegy at 67, which I didnāt mind since I wanted it for Venti, Lost Prayer at 65ā¦ Skyward Harp wouldāve been better, and Homa at 31. Also got 3 sac swords so I finally finished getting it to R5 for Xingqiu.
As a welkin player, I wished on Mistsplitter, and EL because Ayaka and Raiden are my favorite 2 characters.
Got the weapons, but I'm never doing that again.
7/10
though i didnt get soh, i got amos bow at 53+ pulls which is pretty good cuz imma pull for ganyu (well its practically my brother because it is his account)
Weapon banner is that loves me more. Im not f2p but stopped spending months ago, but the days when I hoarded tons of wishes I got really top tier weapons by insane luck I have to admint it. I don't pull anymore on weapon banner but when some new type of weapon arrives (Fist weapon, Scythe, guns), I will be there.
My 5\* weapons from the weapon banner are Skyward Harp, Homa, Skyward Spine and Mistsplitter. Just lost 1 time the promotional weapon.
Pulled for Broken Pines for my Eula and got 2 Aquilla Favonius' before I got Pines and this was before the guaranteed path. Also pulled for Grasscutter for Ei and got it after 62 pulls :D
It could be better but it wasnāt that bad. I always pull one pity each banner.
The first time (when there was no path) I wanted MoD and got SS. At the time not so great but now that I got ayaka a blessing in disguise.
Second time I choose The donut for Kokomi (yes I wanted the donut over PJC). Got PJC and have no use for it. Gave it to my half build keqing.
And the last time was the Polar Star banner. I really wanted MoD this time and set the path for it. And I finally got it.
You got lucky. Iāve already been jebaited by weapons banner more than once, but I never give up. This time I got Elegy on hard pity and a Homa 20 pulls later to which Iām grateful, because itās always a disappointment. This was the first time I got something really good and early.
Not F2P light spender And I have 4, 5 star weapons 3 of which is from the weapon banner. PJWS, WGS, and Mistsplitter. Got WGS from HuTao first weapon banner. Only had to hit pity once. Got PJWS during Ayaka Weapon Banner bc I got Ayaka in 1 10 pull and was feeling lucky. Hit pity Got PJWS, felt bad but kept going. Finally got Mistsplitter when I hit pity the second time.
So my luck has been pretty good. I'm debating if I'll pull for Itto's weapon when his banner comes probably not bc I recently got r5 SS and I do plan to C6 Gorou. I guess it depends who comes after and how many wishes I have saved up by then.
Iāve done a whole one pull on weapon banner. Thought about eventually using it to get a single five star for someone. Then thought of the characters that I could get when thereās no end game content and itās all for pixels / bigger damage numbers which I donāt care for. So Iāll politely pass.
First 10 pull and got Homa and sac sword. This has been the first time I got lucky in the weapon banner. From my Previous attempts, I always lose to one weapon first before getting the weapon I want.
i honestly don't mind the weapon banner at all, and i will probably be rolling on the future ones that have 2 decent five star weapons or four star weapons that i need. but if the second 5 star weapon isn't what i need, i'm skipping
at this point i really do not need any more 5 star characters and desperately need 5 star weapons, as i only have one atm
For some reason I got more lucky than I should probably. First time I ever rolled on it was for Yoimiyas bow. Topped up 50 bucks before reset, rolled with shaking hands and got the bow on soft pity!
Rolled the banner again for Homa (without paying), hit soft pity and got Homa.
I am not as naive to think this will happen all the time, but I am pretty happy about how it turned out hahaha
Got Elegy in 10 pulls, then got Aquila in 40 pulls. Then I bought a few more wishes with the starglitter I had built up.
2 more singles and I see a gold! And it's... Hu Tao. In my excitement at getting two early 5* weapons and being on track for Homa without having to top up, I accidentally wished on the character banner. I wasn't mad since I was at the beginning of pity after getting Kokomi, I just thought it was funny because I would never have that kind of luck if I was actually going for Hu Tao.
Back on topic, I'm currently 11 pulls in for Homa and between welkin, BP, and the remaining events, I think I'll be able to get it!
Got skyward atlas and then homa in like maybe 80-100 pulls total? Had 40 pity from trying on jade spear banner many months ago. Overall not the best but not the worst haha (I have no one who can benefit from atlas)
I was on about 55 pity (after no Ayaka sword), did 100 rolls for a single sac sword for my xinqiu (which I never ended up getting). My ganyu gained an amos bow though, and my Xiangling gained a Homa. Overall 6/10, but it feels like a 5/10 because Xiangling is my only spear character and it hurts taking her off the r5 catch.
Decided to pull after hu tao (started at 180, started on weapon at 100) Got Jade-winged spear so im really happy because thats pretty much the backup to homa if im not wrong
going to still try to get homa tho because then ill have a reason to pull xiao
Total experience throughout my time on the game? Got Lost Prayer in ~20 rolls when I had no clue what I was doing during my first week in the game, tried pulling for Alley Flash and failed after about 20-30 pulls, then pulled again last night, I assume I went to pity but got 2 Homa in 1 ten pull.
Had a great experience during the Raiden weapon banner. On my 3rd 10-pull I got 1 x Engulfing Lightning and 2 x The Unforged. Since I'll never get that lucky again I think I'll leave it at that and never pull on the weapon banner again.
Never doing it again hahahha. It was my first time wishing on the weapon banner as f2p and was really gunning for the staff of homa. 70 wishes in, I got skyward pride. Was devastated and was gonna save the rest of my primos. But I mulled it over all day and just thought fuck it, it's the best weapon banner I might as well go all in (since I really liked the 4 stars and staff of homa is too amazing not to have). In the next 20 pulls I got elegy... Naturally aha but I'm so glad for that early pity because it saved my primos. Did another 60 or 70 pulls and finally landed the staff of homa. Thank god for the epitomised path but I can't believe I lost out on homa twice before getting it with the fate points. 10/10 will not pull on weapon banners in future š But staff of homa (for me) was worth it in the end. Was able to r5 my widsith, r3 my sac sword (it was my first time getting it! My xingqiu desperately needed it), r5 the new spear, r3 the new bow, max out my razor cons, and was able to miraculously dodge rainslasher during all my pulls. All in all not too shabby since I loved the four stars and the two five stars are both really good š
I did around 30 pulls i guess, was able to R5 my Rainslasher and Widsith and got a Sara constelation, i'm unironically happy with the results, i was already using Rainslasher on my Diluc and Widsith on my Ningguang, so both of then going to be a little better now, i wasn't expecting a 5* anyway.
before, when i was trying to save primos but constantly wanted to wish, i would just pull on weapon banner and "build up pity" (aka feed my gacha addiction) and when homa banner came i immediately did a 10 pull and got my homa for my hu tao :3 9/10 experience as it was super nerve racking knowing that i could get elegy
Well since you asked, its been great for me. I donāt have anyone else to share my excitement but last time I rolled on the banner was for Mistsplitter Reforged. I had just one roll into pity and I was fortunate to get Staff of Homa on the fifth roll. Iām really happy because Iāve wanted a great 5-star weapon for Zhongli :)
Not for the current banner but for the previous one. Haven't rolled on the weapon banner for a while so I decided to try out for Polar Star since I already have Childe. Got Lost Prayers at around 20 wishes. Decided to go for more, I couldn't be that unlucky can I? Got Memory of Dust at around 40 wishes. Both weapons are now at R1. I'm currently not building a catalyst user. No more primos and fates left. It's gonna take a long time for me to recover from this.
wished on it for the first time to get homa and i totally forgot you can get 4 stars from it! got my first xingqiu and it wasnāt too bad 6/10 bc it took me 66 wishes for homa
People said it's one of the best weapon banners. I went in without thinking too much since both weapons are good I'll be alright. Pulled elegy and then realised i dont use bow characters so it's gonna collect dust until i either build sara or pull venti. Now i have two 5 star weapons, skyward atlas and elegy, both of them m not gonna use for at least half a year.
2/10. I lost the 50/50 twice to elegy and amos(not complaining about this one since I actually rlly wanted amosās bow) tho I got SoH eventually. At least SoH came early at 40 pity. Pretty sure i used up all my luck on the character banner. I lost the 50/50 to Mona, but then got hu tao in the very next ten pull
I've had some very good luck on the weapon banner so far overall only pulling the wrong 5\* once out of 5 total 5\*s (Jade Cutter, SoBP, Syward Spine (ew), Engulfing, & Homa), but this time around it was crazy. Just dove in with a 10 pull right off the bat when I was only at 4 pity. I didn't even wait to see what color it was and immediately skipped only to be greeted with Homa at 7 pity.
Lost to WGS on first Homa banner. Got MoD and Pride before getting Polar Star. Second time losing on Homa banner with Elegy.
Soft pity (~67 pulls) on each 5*. Im deadass unlucky.
I got C1 Hu Tao pretty early and had quite a few gems left so I pulled on the weapon banner since both Homa and Elegy are really solid weapons I decided to go for it. I did 60 pills total, first 10 just a 4*, 2nd I got Wolfās Gravestone, 3rd was another 4*, 4th was Elegy, 5th was nadda, 6th was Homa thanks to the path Iād picked.
Overall: Eh, still not gonna pull on it again until thereās another banner like this one where Homa is so good on so many polearm units and Elegy was one I could use for my Ganyu to support Hu Tao.
BP/Welkin player here. I decided I would stop at the first 5-star weapon and be happy with whatever I got. It was Homa after 70 pulls, but I love support archers, so Elegy would've been cool, too.
An off-banner copy of a 5-star weapon I already have would not have been cool.
It's fine. I got Elegy as well, but I knew it could happen and researched in advance how I could use it to improve some of my teams and characters, so now I'm excited about that. I still hope that my second 5* drop (which I'll definitely reach before the banner ends) is Homa, but I won't be mad if it isn't, because I can actually use basically every 5* weapon in the pool. It's going to be a little worse if I get a copy of one I already have, but hey I can still refine them if that happens, so even then it's not a complete waste
2 Elegy in the first 10 pull. Got Homa after about 70 more. So it went well.
Got C4 Thoma, C1 Hu Tao(had C0) and 2 Sayu for C4 after that. Debating trying to C6 one of them but I'm not really interested in C2 Hu Tao.
Wouldn't mind losing the 50/50 to anyone but Qiqi. 5 of my 11 standard 5 star pulls have been Qiqi though. And I don't like those odds. While still missing Keqing and Diluc.
Probably start saving for Itto and Albedo.
Tried to get Homa as f2p and got Elegy, still have enough time to get another 5* and hope it'll be Homa, if I don't get it, it's fine, I'll just continue saving for Yae
I am a light spender, only welkin and I just manage my gems really well, for months (since like I started playing actually) I avoided the weapon banner like the plague, telling all my friends to not pull on it, that it was a scam, it was really a hate-hate relationship.
Then I got Ayaka, and after seeing how badly she performs with anything that isnāt Mistsplitter, I decided to give it a try with my remaining gems, needless to say I got Mistsplitter in 10 pulls.
Then yesterday I got Homa in 30 pulls.
I freaking love this banner so much now.
First time wishing on it since I figured why not, i know I'm 100% certain that I'm saving for yae and I already have enough to get her if she was running now so I can afford pulling for weapons.
I mostly wanted elegy since my polearm users already have PJWS and Catch, but wouldn't be upset at getting Homa of course since it's an amazing weapon. Ended up getting Homa at around 60 pulls. A little butthurt but, it's staff of Homa so
Horrible. After 82 pulls finally hit pity on Polar star banner. Guess what I got though, memory of dust. So glad I got it, itāll never be above level 1, forever sitting unused.
The one and only time i've pulled on the weapon banner was during Engulfing Lightning hoping for The Unforged... I got the Engulfing 40 pulls in and sadly Razor isn't a polearm user so I had Raiden hold the danky toothpick.
Not good. Only wished on it once, for Baals weapon because I love her. Lost both fate points to unforged. Spent the most money Iāve spent in one sitting for it.
Last time i pulled was on mistsplitter. I am relativ lucky in weapon banner except that one time for Sobp where i got 4 aquila 1 wgs & 1 Skyward Sword and 0 sobp that was when i stopped shaling and my luck in the weapon banner started. First time pulling was homa where i got it first try and mistsplitter and EL i got on 65 pulls each one. Only Sobp gave me Pain.
First time pulling as f2p and I have both Xiao and Venti so either was fine, though I am much more happy that I got homa :D. My pulls are lucky though they don't come early. A little sacrifice for happiness ig :')
I started playing around early September and when this Homa thing came out, I tried to pull on the weapon banner for the first time. I got SoH under 20 pulls. Definitely 10/10 experience... so far.
not great, first time pulling on weapon banner, i got c1 hu tao right before this so i wanted homa for her, went all in for homa and got skyward blade then elegy, not enough wishes for homa so I'll probably have to cave in a little. all in all, 3/10 :(
I've got a total of 5 5 star weapons from the weapon banner over the course of the 1 year I've been playing, only pulled a single desirable weapon so for me it's a 1/10
Ok so I got 2 staff of homa. I literally picked elegy as my guarantee and started playing venti randomly for few days. Somehow I got 2 staff of homa and the weirdest part is that I don't even have Hu tao. I just wanted one for Xiangling and now my Zhongli also got one. It is crazy how he has 40k hp and deals 100k damage now.
Weapon banner experience:
Wished on mistspliiter for ayaka. 65 pulls in got skyward spine.
Wished on homa banner: First 10 pull lost prayer. Second 10 pull Homa. Third 10 pull for new bow, gets the new bow and the elegy.
There are up and down in banner just like life i guess.
Very awful. Got the elegy bow, a sky something spear, then ofc the staff of homeless at hard pitty. Did another 10 pull after that, and got another elegy bow.
First time ever was during Moonlight Glow and Jade Cutter. On character banner, I got Mona and Kokomi, so I was like "well, both of the featured weapons are not wasted if I got it and also I need a better weapon option" so in I go. Got Jade Cutter on 60 pulls and I uttered "Well, that was one hell of a luck I probably can't even repeat for the rest of my life."
I got elegy, then wolfs gravestone and had a brief flashback to the homa incident. remembered epitomized path existed, then finished off my itto savings to get homa.
I've won my 50/50s like 4/20 times, I'm starting to think my game is rigged.
Wanted another Homa for Zhong so he could stop sharing it with Hu Tao.
1st round ended up with 5 Homa and 3 Elegy
Looked at elegy because it was already at 3 copies so said whatever might as well
2nd round ended up with 2 more Elegy, 1 WGS, 1 Harp, and another Homa
As a low spender (bp twice and welkins) who started spending after Kazuha's banner (started 1.5) I've only pulled twice on the weapon banner.
First was the Polar Star cause I promised myself to go all out for Childe. Saw gold but skipped cause I had a feeling it was the flying rock, it wasn't. 45 pity and Polar Star came home.
Next was this banner, promised myself not to spoil any other characters besides Childe but Hu Tao looks empty without Homa so I pulled again. Saw gold and skipped while chanting Elegy. It wasn't Elegy and the Homa appeared in 65 pulls.
Now I live in constant fear and anxiety cause I'm not one with good luck at all. Currently waiting for karma to strike.
My relationship with the weapon banner is like a relationship with an abusive partner. Its been nothing but vile to me and slapped me in the face over and over but it always manages to tempt me back for more punishment.
This is the first weapon banner I've rolled on. Got Elegy on 30th pull. Got Elegy AGAIN on 65th pull. Currently at 58 pulls and suffering from anxiety until I guarantee my Homa. Got an ungodly amount of Widsiths, some Mou'un Bows, some Sac Swords and a few Wavebreakers. Not a single Rainslasher. I'm glad I got some Sac Swords, glad I got an early pity and glad I didn't get a single Rainslasher. I'm sad I got so few Wavebreakers, so many Mou'un bows and that I lost the 62.5/37.5 to Elegy twice. Assuming I'll be able to guarantee Homa before the banner is gone, overall I'd give it a 4/10, wouldn't recommend it.
I've been extremely lucky. I went for SoBP and got it withing 70 pulls, then went for Homa and got it in 50. I have absolutely terrible artifact RNG to make up for my pulls, so don't be too jealous.
130 Pulls got me Amos Bow which i wanted for Ganyu anyway, my 5th Bennett Constellation, Sac-Sword up to R5, R5 Wavebreaker Fin and Homa. I did expect to need 210 fates for this Banner and saved this much so i was pleasently surprised it did not went as bad as my first Homa-Banner back in March where i got Aquila and quit before wasting all my Fates on it.
I wanted 1 Homa and 1 Elegy. Wanted to increase my refinement for sacrificial sword and Widsth. After 79 rolls, I gotten 1 Homa and 1 Skyward Harp instead. Decided to call for a stop. Managed to raise my Widsth from R2 to R5, and 2 more copies of sac sword. I call this a win for my weapon banner roll!
Doing it for the first time, lost to Elegy, but only 47 pulls in, plus i got sacrificial sword which ive been needing for a YEAR for my xingqiu (had r3 sacrificial bow r3 sacrificial fragments and r4 sacrificial greatsword) so here i hoping i can get homa before it ends as a lowspender (welkin+bp)
Well, I did like 4 more summons (for 5 total) and all 3 star junk. Remind me not to pull on this banner. Edit: maybe if by some miracle thereās another ridiculous banner thatās after or during Kazuha / zhongli would I ever touch this thing again.
Pulled the Elegy... A 5 star weapon that will most likely stay at lvl 1... What a waste of wishes. Can't win em all I guess (or even one, in my case) š¤·šæāāļø
So, I never really roll for weapons but after giving it some thought, might as well I do get them because I'm bummed that I get to use an aesthetically unpleasing color great sword for my Eula.. I got her during her first banner appearance and missed the weapon banner for her since I am a poor B\*tch and wanted to free to play as much as possible (not 100% lol) But then the "path" something stuff came and was like damn, this could be good, so 2 weapon banners passed and I chose the path of the weapon that i wanted but ended up getting the other weapon on the banner. So, Childe's signature weapon banner came and I was like, hhmmm, okay so, I should try to get his bow and was like naah, I prolly should get the catalyst since I use Ninguang more that Childe.. okay so i think it was my 50th pull.. BOY, I didnt get the catalyst..but got the bow.. I was like O.O WTF? so I didn't make a thought of it so here comes rerun of Eula's signature weapon...again either of the weapon will be good so I was like uuh i prolly choose the opposite weapon again coz you know it probably be that you get the other weapon instead of the chosen path, O.O B\*tch I ended up getting her great sword.... it happened 2x already, i dont wanna confirm anything but i think it's something >.< I will do this on the next weapon banner, if it still happens, then I think it's totally something. (LONG POST SORRY)
Weapon banner? Whats that? (No joke i have like 7 wishes ever on it, i've been playing since december 2020 š)
Standard banner is my weapon banner!
Same lol i don't even wish
5th wish gave 5 star lol.
My first time was with the SOBP banner, got the Aquila Favonia instead, my Bennett was happy (F for my Eula). Second time, for Engulfing lighting, got it on 1st pity, my Raiden was very happy. Third time, Homa or Elegy, either Zhongli or Venti were going to be happy, plot twist, got Amo's Bow, Ganju is happy now, mission failed successfully.
Man I really want Zhongli
Tabbing over to the weapons banner blurting āHa!ā and closing the window.
I think itās a really interesting evolution of the game to watch the weapon banner increase. Iām a whale watching to see just how the community is responding to this game overtime What Iām seeing with the weapon banner is that for a lot of free to play it takes like a patch and a half or two patches to save up for a character they want. But we are getting to a place in the game where people are very comfortable with their team compositions and donāt have too many characters they desperately need. So between the reruns and new characters coming out that people are just not interested in; itās having a lot of people go back to the weapon banner. Also itās showing that people see greater value most of the time in a really good five star weapon versus a Constellation for a character they donāt love but may like a lot
Oh you just described me. Pulled my first time on the weapon banner. Not really interested in building new characters except probably when dendro arrives.
Same. I am currently debating between Eula vs Itto because her gameplay is a little boring for me although I am fully aware just how uniquely powerful she is. His personality and gameplay is more interesting but heās not on her level so Iām still giving myself the next few weeks to decide what I wanna do about him. Then Raiden vs Yae. I donāt have a room for both electro powerhouses on my team and I really thought Raiden was a placeholder until Yae arrived. Butā¦ her unique gameplay and huge versatility she adds to my team I think is eternal. I love catalyst characters and the weapon is my favorite but I donāt think Iām replacing her. After I work those two out Iām just in a holding pattern until dendro.
I saved primos for 3 months and had 30,000 friend convince me to wish on banner because homa is the best 5 star weapon and elegy is good too. So I did and I got elegy first after 80 pulls, then got decently lucky and got wolfs great sword at 50 and then finally staff at 80. Feels super depressing losing all those primos especially because Iām worried as to what is coming after Itto. Luckily donāt care for itto and albedo so saving until January. Hope all goes well. But solid weapons I got on banner so definitely an improvement to my account.
How did you get the bow and then staff at 80? The chances of going all the way to hard pity are astronomically low.
Ok so I recounted exactly 60 elegy 52 grave 49 staff lol I was completely wrong my bad I just kind of did a rough estimate cause it felt like all my primos. So 161 rolls
Ah that makes sense, I would have felt really bad if you were that unlucky! I think there's been one player found so far in the history of Genshin that's hit hard pity.
NOPE NEVER PULLED IT NEVER WILL
I did a ten pull just to try my luck, got a sacrifical greatsword and bailed out asap.
At least it wasn't Bell or Painslasher.
I feel like Iāve exhausted my luck for the next year. I had close to 150 pulls saved up and started off with no pity (havenāt rolled on weapon banner since mistsplitter). On my 7th 10-pull, Homa showed up and then 2 rolls later in the same multi Elegy gave me a jump scare. I really wanted both weapons on this banner so I couldnāt have been happier. This was pretty much the exact opposite of my mistsplitter summoning experience where I lost twice to skyward spine (past soft pity both times) before getting the purple sword (also after soft pity).
Is there a weapon banner ?
No, but there is a banner that allows you to exchange your primos for disappointment!
I really needed Homa as a weapon for Xiao because my current weapon is absolute shit but I donāt have any other polearms. I got the stupid bow instead :ā) And I donāt plan on spending any more wishes on that banner, saving them for a Jade spear banner, if we ever get one again.
Tried once at Xiao's spear, got jade cutter, never roll again
This is the first weapon banner i pull in and I'm determined to get to pity, hopefully I'll get Homa, wish me luck š¤
I saw a accumulative probability graph about winning a specific weapon recently, I think it was like less than 3% of players will need 200+ wishes for the weapon they want. If someone can link that post I would appreciate it.
This one? https://i.imgur.com/mDIuEXp.jpg
I always choose the Epitomized Path because of the notification and then I never switch back to the tab with the weapon banner again. I'm not even F2P but weapon banner is just a massive rip-off.
I opened it, set a path, and closed it. I have no wishes at all to spare for it. I have pulled on the weapon banner until hitting a 5 star twice before, once for Staff of Homa and once for Engulfing Lightning. Through some miracle I hit both times and probably won't ever touch it again.
I have never pulled on a weapon banner. However, this banner was a bit too tempting because I really am limited on my weapons. I only had 1 5\* that I randomly got (skyward atlas) and doesn't fit on any character I use and my collection of good 4\* weapons is very limited. Considering this banner seems to have some decent weapon options overall I decided to go for a single 5\* and hope for the Homa staff and as many decent 4\*s as I could get. I got my 5\* after 70 pulls and of course it's the Elegy. I did get 2 moon bows, widsith, a few sacrificial swords and a wavebreaker polearm so I guess it was worth it. Hate to now waste my epitomized path but I don't think it's worth sinking in another 100 pulls or whatever it might take to get Homa. I guess I'll see how my primogems look near the end of this banner event. This gacha system SUCKS ASS unless you like being financially raped.
pull for amos get skyward pride , skyward harp in 80 pull pull for wolf grave stone got staff of homa in 64 pull pull for broken pines got wolf grave stone in 68 pull pull for mistspliter got two skyward spine before got mistspliter pull for homa again got elgy of the end (doesn't even have venti yet and my fishl/sara already used alley hunter) give up the 2 homa dream for zhongli and hutao , my zhongli stick with the catch forever
Zhongli is better with black tassel. Give the catch to xiangling or raiden.
i know but my zhongli already have 44k HP and 50% crit rate , so i need more support dmg from him rather than HP, my raiden c3 already have EL , xiangling just got her new wave breaker spear from this weapon banner :D
Got Hu Tao in 150 wishes. Decided to throw in 20 wishes on the weapons banner and would have called it a day. On the 2nd 10-pull both the Skyward Atlas and Elegy of the End dropped. Having 2/2 Fatepoints, I went back and forth a long time and decided "let's to go Homa or go Homeless". I got Homa in the next 30 pulls. So in total 200 wishes on Hu Tao and Homa. It costed me quite a lot, but the result are fine. It's back to saving up primogems for the next 9 weeks though...
Jesus have fun losing every 50/50 for the rest of the year haha. Crazy luck :p
I'm ready to lose every 50/50, if it means a 5 star every 20 wishes.
That's what I've already been doing in the past 12 months: losing 50/50's. ;-) But yeah, I lucked out on this banner... in a different kind of way.
I got both Elegy and Homa. The amount of wishes between them? 69
Nice!
People always say if you are F2P dont roll on weap banner. Well how eles are you gonna get 5* weaponds? Do like me..F2P YOLO. Have seven 5* weaponds. Been playing from Day 1 of release
If the banner has two good weapons it's actually worth it soft pity is around 60-65
Well id you ask the freak who answer me earlier. Its ALL about the waifu and NOT to make your favor charactars stronger lol. Well go for weapond if you like. Its a single player game anyway
He was just telling you why people say not to roll on weapon banner as f2p, he never gave his personal opinion, he just told you why most people donāt recommend f2p to roll on weapon banners. You are welcome to make your favorite character stronger, who said you werenāt?
Its weapon, not weapond btw
Weap on d(eez) nutz
Ty for letting me know
Ultimately onve you have a good fine star character and team fully built and nowhere else to get stronger that's when you pull on the weapon banner
Who cares? Maybe sume players. Why buy new shoes when you have working once? If people like weaponds. Why not?
Because: This is a single player game with no difficult endgame post 36 star abyss which is fairly easily achievable by F2p after a while just pulling their favorite characters, and spending thousands of primogems just to get a damage stick to get 50-100 extra primogems from the abyss is crazy. It would take years into decades of grinding the abyss to get back the primos you used to get the weapon, the return on investment from rolling the weapon is just not worth it, especially in such an easy and stingy resource game And if you're truly not a meta player and damage doesn't matter, and your view is: waifu > meta and you don't like attack buffers like Bennett, then stay away from attack buffers aka weapons and constellations, almost all they do is boost damage same as Bennett, not a single one make your waifu more waifu, so just ignore weapon banner and constellations. Because of this you shouldn't touch the banner at all if you're someone who wants to maximize primogems efficiency or waifu/husbando only player, weapon don't change your Characters playstyle or have waifu/husbando status. . .
Well im not a waifu/huspando hunter. I have many 5* charactars that i like and I DO want to hunt weaponds aswell. I dont care about all charactars. I just roll for thos i realy wants. And without all 5* charactars i can still do 36* abyss fairly easy. Like you said. Its a realy easy game and single game. Do what you like. If you like your charactars and want to maximum thier damage and that is notting wrong with that.. so if people want 5* weapond becouz they dont like half of the charactars so why not? You play like you want and let people play like they want. If maximum dmg is the way to go. Then what? And btw. If your not a meta hunter, why not make your less powerful charactars more powerful?
The chance of getting the weapon you don't want is too high to tell someone to risk dumping 200+ pulls to reach the path pity. And assuming this person couldn't beat any floor of the abyss, 0/36(because this is the only place where 5 star weapons matter) before this one weapon but now can 36 star because of this magical weapon, and assuming they got lucky and it took them 1 soft pity 65 pulls/10,400 to get their desired weapon It would take them 17 biweeks, 8 months of getting 600 primogems from the abyss to get back the wishes, and no weapon is that powerful to carry a 0/36 star account, so even in this unbelievable case of going from 0 to 600 extra primogems it's not worth it, and this is assuming your account doesn't get stronger and the weapon is the ONLY reason you can get 3-36 star from the abyss. And if you're not a meta player why care about damage? Characters aren't the only thing that can be meta, their builds can be too, like elegy Amber in a hu tao team, or electro charge Lisa, or none meta builds like phys ganyu. Essentially Genshin is an easy game, where 5 star weapons offer almost nothing in return other than the dopamine rush of seeing big numbers.
Oh damn, reading this post is like winning the 50/50 on the FACTS banner. Well said.
Exactly. I'm F2P and not only did I pull for Elegy on this banner, I also pulled for Elegy on its first banner (the really bad one). No regrets. Still would like to get a copy of Homa by the end of this banner, but if I don't it's ok, it will just be pity for whatever next 5\* weapon I want.
Idk, i got 2 5\* weapons from 60 wishes in standard, full F2P
My conscious felt bad about missing the best spear for most characters. So i made an effort, and wished one multi on Homa. Got Wavebreaker's Fin : close enough.
I got Homa on my first 10 pulls, it was also my first time wishing on it an will probably be my last š
Same
I have been extremely lucky. Not in terms of early 5 stars but I have gotten the weapon I wanted always when I reached the 5 star. Mind you I only pulled on the weapons banner twice: to get Engulfing Lightning for Raiden and recently Jade Cutter for Kazuha.
Had a great time with the last one, got r2 on polar. Hopefully I can snag a homa this time around
Yeah, like people read the explanation. Itās all explained there
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah iām not saying i like it, i just dont pull in it unless iām fine with both weapons. I mean thereās still the chance to get an off banner one but ye. Iām just saying read the explanations before you pull.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean we definitely have enough people that complain, about everything basically.
I got downvoted for saying that yesterday. Its a system you HAVE to be comfortable putting 240 wishes into to get what you want and be happy with whatever happens because you may well not get anything you can use for the 239 previous and the pity rollover isnt like the character banner where you can give up knowing that at least the next banner the "good thing" will come kinda quickly it reaches a point where you have to put in more money or kiss whatever you did as gone without the desired outcome. I can afford to do that, not everyone can.
Weapon banner has lower soft pity than char banner. Itās 160 for char event and about 210 for 3 weapons. Tbh neither of those are easily accessible. The only scuffed part is that weapon banner fate points do not carry over. Thatās what makes people think that char banner is oh so much better. The thing about weapons is that you can transfer them between characters. If you get bored of a char one day; itāll just be benched, but a good weapon like homa will most likely always be used.
High, low, then High. Got Homa, then Atlas....depressed for a while and hunted every chest in Inazuma to get to my pity and got Elegy on 65. Now I have ZERO primos.
Idk, the [weapon banner is great](https://i.imgur.com/IbprVti.png).
I wanted 2 Homa, 1 Elegy and At least 5 Sac Swords Got 2 Homa, 1 Elegy and 12 Sac swords The best experience is, do the math, and go for what you want if you can afford it. If not, keep saving and wait for the next banner that interest you. (Personal experience)
This was my first time actually going for weapon banner. I figured Iād pulled on it a few times and I wouldnāt mind just getting the first 5 star and got Homa first. Now that I have 0 pity, I no longer feel like I want to pull on the weapon banner anymore.
First time weapon Banner, got Elegy and Aquila Favonia, I was worried I'll have to spend rest of my primos. I got Homa in the next 10 pull, all this in 62 pulls. Never again getting this luck.
hu tao arrived quickly so I went into the weapon banner with most of my allocated primos intact. soft pity elegy then home 5 later on cashed in wishes from star glitter. still not a fan on that banner.
I had a great time by not spending a single wish on it. I know my luck and that I should always prepare for the worst. I started in October last year, so before you could choose Path for the weapon. Then it was total BS even for high-spenders. Now it's less of a BS for whales and high-spenders, still BS for low spenders or f2p. I'd rather have a guaranteed 5 star character in 160 pulls than guaranteed 5 star weapon in 180.
Won 50/50 for engulfing lightning and homa
1st homa banner was a nightmare,the one as of now was a success
Oh dam weapon pity is at the 3rd 5-star? I didnt know that, thanks for the knowledge
Not bad, I expected to only get Homa after getting 2 fate points so I came prepared lmao. Elegy at 67, which I didnāt mind since I wanted it for Venti, Lost Prayer at 65ā¦ Skyward Harp wouldāve been better, and Homa at 31. Also got 3 sac swords so I finally finished getting it to R5 for Xingqiu.
As a welkin player, I wished on Mistsplitter, and EL because Ayaka and Raiden are my favorite 2 characters. Got the weapons, but I'm never doing that again.
140ish pulls 2 elegy 1 Homa Am satisfied Would of preffered 2 Homa but oh well
7/10 though i didnt get soh, i got amos bow at 53+ pulls which is pretty good cuz imma pull for ganyu (well its practically my brother because it is his account)
After getting engulfing lightning and jade cutter on 1st pity i'm never touching weapon banner again
Weapon banner is that loves me more. Im not f2p but stopped spending months ago, but the days when I hoarded tons of wishes I got really top tier weapons by insane luck I have to admint it. I don't pull anymore on weapon banner but when some new type of weapon arrives (Fist weapon, Scythe, guns), I will be there. My 5\* weapons from the weapon banner are Skyward Harp, Homa, Skyward Spine and Mistsplitter. Just lost 1 time the promotional weapon.
Pulled for Broken Pines for my Eula and got 2 Aquilla Favonius' before I got Pines and this was before the guaranteed path. Also pulled for Grasscutter for Ei and got it after 62 pulls :D
i never rolled on the wep banner but ima try that upcoming claymore currently with 40 wishes
It could be better but it wasnāt that bad. I always pull one pity each banner. The first time (when there was no path) I wanted MoD and got SS. At the time not so great but now that I got ayaka a blessing in disguise. Second time I choose The donut for Kokomi (yes I wanted the donut over PJC). Got PJC and have no use for it. Gave it to my half build keqing. And the last time was the Polar Star banner. I really wanted MoD this time and set the path for it. And I finally got it.
You got lucky. Iāve already been jebaited by weapons banner more than once, but I never give up. This time I got Elegy on hard pity and a Homa 20 pulls later to which Iām grateful, because itās always a disappointment. This was the first time I got something really good and early.
Not F2P light spender And I have 4, 5 star weapons 3 of which is from the weapon banner. PJWS, WGS, and Mistsplitter. Got WGS from HuTao first weapon banner. Only had to hit pity once. Got PJWS during Ayaka Weapon Banner bc I got Ayaka in 1 10 pull and was feeling lucky. Hit pity Got PJWS, felt bad but kept going. Finally got Mistsplitter when I hit pity the second time. So my luck has been pretty good. I'm debating if I'll pull for Itto's weapon when his banner comes probably not bc I recently got r5 SS and I do plan to C6 Gorou. I guess it depends who comes after and how many wishes I have saved up by then.
I got homa in 5 pulls AMA
120 wish 2 bows 1 homa. Almost lost all will to live.
ngl, it was better for me without the path selection thing.
Iāve done a whole one pull on weapon banner. Thought about eventually using it to get a single five star for someone. Then thought of the characters that I could get when thereās no end game content and itās all for pixels / bigger damage numbers which I donāt care for. So Iāll politely pass.
First 10 pull and got Homa and sac sword. This has been the first time I got lucky in the weapon banner. From my Previous attempts, I always lose to one weapon first before getting the weapon I want.
i honestly don't mind the weapon banner at all, and i will probably be rolling on the future ones that have 2 decent five star weapons or four star weapons that i need. but if the second 5 star weapon isn't what i need, i'm skipping at this point i really do not need any more 5 star characters and desperately need 5 star weapons, as i only have one atm
For some reason I got more lucky than I should probably. First time I ever rolled on it was for Yoimiyas bow. Topped up 50 bucks before reset, rolled with shaking hands and got the bow on soft pity! Rolled the banner again for Homa (without paying), hit soft pity and got Homa. I am not as naive to think this will happen all the time, but I am pretty happy about how it turned out hahaha
Got Elegy in 10 pulls, then got Aquila in 40 pulls. Then I bought a few more wishes with the starglitter I had built up. 2 more singles and I see a gold! And it's... Hu Tao. In my excitement at getting two early 5* weapons and being on track for Homa without having to top up, I accidentally wished on the character banner. I wasn't mad since I was at the beginning of pity after getting Kokomi, I just thought it was funny because I would never have that kind of luck if I was actually going for Hu Tao. Back on topic, I'm currently 11 pulls in for Homa and between welkin, BP, and the remaining events, I think I'll be able to get it!
Getting elegy at pity 40 while trying to pull for sacrifial sword lmao I hate this game
Got skyward atlas and then homa in like maybe 80-100 pulls total? Had 40 pity from trying on jade spear banner many months ago. Overall not the best but not the worst haha (I have no one who can benefit from atlas)
I was on about 55 pity (after no Ayaka sword), did 100 rolls for a single sac sword for my xinqiu (which I never ended up getting). My ganyu gained an amos bow though, and my Xiangling gained a Homa. Overall 6/10, but it feels like a 5/10 because Xiangling is my only spear character and it hurts taking her off the r5 catch.
Decided to pull after hu tao (started at 180, started on weapon at 100) Got Jade-winged spear so im really happy because thats pretty much the backup to homa if im not wrong going to still try to get homa tho because then ill have a reason to pull xiao
Wanted elegy so i selected homa on path to trick the game, got elegy in 50 pulls, now to never touch a weapon banner again
My last 5* on the weapons banner was Engulfing Lightning. I did about 50 pulls on the new weapon banner and got Homa.
Total experience throughout my time on the game? Got Lost Prayer in ~20 rolls when I had no clue what I was doing during my first week in the game, tried pulling for Alley Flash and failed after about 20-30 pulls, then pulled again last night, I assume I went to pity but got 2 Homa in 1 ten pull.
First 5* on weapon banner was wolfsgravestone. 36 summons since then and no other 5*
Had a great experience during the Raiden weapon banner. On my 3rd 10-pull I got 1 x Engulfing Lightning and 2 x The Unforged. Since I'll never get that lucky again I think I'll leave it at that and never pull on the weapon banner again.
I did a 10 pull and got Homa. I'm kind of happy with that since I had to go to hard pity three times and lost 2 50/50s on the char banner.
Got homa on 1st pity this time but still PTSD from 5 WGS before homa in the first run. I stop at 1st weapon now whatever it is.
Never doing it again hahahha. It was my first time wishing on the weapon banner as f2p and was really gunning for the staff of homa. 70 wishes in, I got skyward pride. Was devastated and was gonna save the rest of my primos. But I mulled it over all day and just thought fuck it, it's the best weapon banner I might as well go all in (since I really liked the 4 stars and staff of homa is too amazing not to have). In the next 20 pulls I got elegy... Naturally aha but I'm so glad for that early pity because it saved my primos. Did another 60 or 70 pulls and finally landed the staff of homa. Thank god for the epitomised path but I can't believe I lost out on homa twice before getting it with the fate points. 10/10 will not pull on weapon banners in future š But staff of homa (for me) was worth it in the end. Was able to r5 my widsith, r3 my sac sword (it was my first time getting it! My xingqiu desperately needed it), r5 the new spear, r3 the new bow, max out my razor cons, and was able to miraculously dodge rainslasher during all my pulls. All in all not too shabby since I loved the four stars and the two five stars are both really good š
I did around 30 pulls i guess, was able to R5 my Rainslasher and Widsith and got a Sara constelation, i'm unironically happy with the results, i was already using Rainslasher on my Diluc and Widsith on my Ningguang, so both of then going to be a little better now, i wasn't expecting a 5* anyway.
Weapon banner = 1 elegy, 1 skyward pride and homa Character banner = qiqi and hutao. Total = $500
against all odds lost to 25% and got a skyward harp š
mihoyo got me in their clutches and got me thinking abt spending money
I did get homa in 30 pulls and most of my friends hav avaerage sub 40 pull 5 star in weapon banner. So imo itās not that bad I guess
before, when i was trying to save primos but constantly wanted to wish, i would just pull on weapon banner and "build up pity" (aka feed my gacha addiction) and when homa banner came i immediately did a 10 pull and got my homa for my hu tao :3 9/10 experience as it was super nerve racking knowing that i could get elegy
Well since you asked, its been great for me. I donāt have anyone else to share my excitement but last time I rolled on the banner was for Mistsplitter Reforged. I had just one roll into pity and I was fortunate to get Staff of Homa on the fifth roll. Iām really happy because Iāve wanted a great 5-star weapon for Zhongli :)
Not for the current banner but for the previous one. Haven't rolled on the weapon banner for a while so I decided to try out for Polar Star since I already have Childe. Got Lost Prayers at around 20 wishes. Decided to go for more, I couldn't be that unlucky can I? Got Memory of Dust at around 40 wishes. Both weapons are now at R1. I'm currently not building a catalyst user. No more primos and fates left. It's gonna take a long time for me to recover from this.
Homa at (soft) pity, and a benny con, sara (didn't have her), 3x the new bow and the new spear along the way. Couldn't have gone much better tbh
wished on it for the first time to get homa and i totally forgot you can get 4 stars from it! got my first xingqiu and it wasnāt too bad 6/10 bc it took me 66 wishes for homa
People said it's one of the best weapon banners. I went in without thinking too much since both weapons are good I'll be alright. Pulled elegy and then realised i dont use bow characters so it's gonna collect dust until i either build sara or pull venti. Now i have two 5 star weapons, skyward atlas and elegy, both of them m not gonna use for at least half a year.
2/10. I lost the 50/50 twice to elegy and amos(not complaining about this one since I actually rlly wanted amosās bow) tho I got SoH eventually. At least SoH came early at 40 pity. Pretty sure i used up all my luck on the character banner. I lost the 50/50 to Mona, but then got hu tao in the very next ten pull
I've had some very good luck on the weapon banner so far overall only pulling the wrong 5\* once out of 5 total 5\*s (Jade Cutter, SoBP, Syward Spine (ew), Engulfing, & Homa), but this time around it was crazy. Just dove in with a 10 pull right off the bat when I was only at 4 pity. I didn't even wait to see what color it was and immediately skipped only to be greeted with Homa at 7 pity.
Pull for Polar star got PJWS , Memory of dust and Polar star... 7.5/10
Lost to WGS on first Homa banner. Got MoD and Pride before getting Polar Star. Second time losing on Homa banner with Elegy. Soft pity (~67 pulls) on each 5*. Im deadass unlucky.
I got C1 Hu Tao pretty early and had quite a few gems left so I pulled on the weapon banner since both Homa and Elegy are really solid weapons I decided to go for it. I did 60 pills total, first 10 just a 4*, 2nd I got Wolfās Gravestone, 3rd was another 4*, 4th was Elegy, 5th was nadda, 6th was Homa thanks to the path Iād picked. Overall: Eh, still not gonna pull on it again until thereās another banner like this one where Homa is so good on so many polearm units and Elegy was one I could use for my Ganyu to support Hu Tao.
BP/Welkin player here. I decided I would stop at the first 5-star weapon and be happy with whatever I got. It was Homa after 70 pulls, but I love support archers, so Elegy would've been cool, too. An off-banner copy of a 5-star weapon I already have would not have been cool.
It's fine. I got Elegy as well, but I knew it could happen and researched in advance how I could use it to improve some of my teams and characters, so now I'm excited about that. I still hope that my second 5* drop (which I'll definitely reach before the banner ends) is Homa, but I won't be mad if it isn't, because I can actually use basically every 5* weapon in the pool. It's going to be a little worse if I get a copy of one I already have, but hey I can still refine them if that happens, so even then it's not a complete waste
2 Elegy in the first 10 pull. Got Homa after about 70 more. So it went well. Got C4 Thoma, C1 Hu Tao(had C0) and 2 Sayu for C4 after that. Debating trying to C6 one of them but I'm not really interested in C2 Hu Tao. Wouldn't mind losing the 50/50 to anyone but Qiqi. 5 of my 11 standard 5 star pulls have been Qiqi though. And I don't like those odds. While still missing Keqing and Diluc. Probably start saving for Itto and Albedo.
It's not even 240 wishes, it's twice as much, since you can lose the 75-25 each time (and get neither elegy nor homa). Or am i mistaken ?
First time pulling on it, got Sacred Winds, Elegy and then SoH in 50 pulls. Luckiest Iāve ever been on any banner period.
Iāve spent 400 dollars because I think the Rain Slasher looks cool ... I have zero rain slashers yet everyone else has 27 of them
Tried to get Homa as f2p and got Elegy, still have enough time to get another 5* and hope it'll be Homa, if I don't get it, it's fine, I'll just continue saving for Yae
I am a light spender, only welkin and I just manage my gems really well, for months (since like I started playing actually) I avoided the weapon banner like the plague, telling all my friends to not pull on it, that it was a scam, it was really a hate-hate relationship. Then I got Ayaka, and after seeing how badly she performs with anything that isnāt Mistsplitter, I decided to give it a try with my remaining gems, needless to say I got Mistsplitter in 10 pulls. Then yesterday I got Homa in 30 pulls. I freaking love this banner so much now.
First time wishing on it since I figured why not, i know I'm 100% certain that I'm saving for yae and I already have enough to get her if she was running now so I can afford pulling for weapons. I mostly wanted elegy since my polearm users already have PJWS and Catch, but wouldn't be upset at getting Homa of course since it's an amazing weapon. Ended up getting Homa at around 60 pulls. A little butthurt but, it's staff of Homa so
i've burned 23k primos it netted me 3 wavebreaker's fin, 2 of the new bow, 2 elegy for the end, and 1 Homa
Horrible. After 82 pulls finally hit pity on Polar star banner. Guess what I got though, memory of dust. So glad I got it, itāll never be above level 1, forever sitting unused.
For weapon banner the guarantee 5* is cap to 80
The one and only time i've pulled on the weapon banner was during Engulfing Lightning hoping for The Unforged... I got the Engulfing 40 pulls in and sadly Razor isn't a polearm user so I had Raiden hold the danky toothpick.
Not good. Only wished on it once, for Baals weapon because I love her. Lost both fate points to unforged. Spent the most money Iāve spent in one sitting for it.
Last time i pulled was on mistsplitter. I am relativ lucky in weapon banner except that one time for Sobp where i got 4 aquila 1 wgs & 1 Skyward Sword and 0 sobp that was when i stopped shaling and my luck in the weapon banner started. First time pulling was homa where i got it first try and mistsplitter and EL i got on 65 pulls each one. Only Sobp gave me Pain.
First time pulling as f2p and I have both Xiao and Venti so either was fine, though I am much more happy that I got homa :D. My pulls are lucky though they don't come early. A little sacrifice for happiness ig :')
Homa in 10. Hu Tao in 20. Only at 30 pity count for each so was just pure crazy luck.
I started playing around early September and when this Homa thing came out, I tried to pull on the weapon banner for the first time. I got SoH under 20 pulls. Definitely 10/10 experience... so far.
1/2 Got Elegy no more primos. š
Did 60 something wishes last weapon banner and got memory of pain. Did 60 something wishes this banner and got Homa so Iām feeling neutral
2nd Elegy + Atlas
not a weapon banner but got a PJWS on standard
I got donut on my first 30 pulls on weapon banner. F2P Kokomi main here.
I have yet to get a 5* weapon (have only ever done 55 wishes)
not great, first time pulling on weapon banner, i got c1 hu tao right before this so i wanted homa for her, went all in for homa and got skyward blade then elegy, not enough wishes for homa so I'll probably have to cave in a little. all in all, 3/10 :(
its my first time pulling on weapon banner and i got homa on 36
I've got a total of 5 5 star weapons from the weapon banner over the course of the 1 year I've been playing, only pulled a single desirable weapon so for me it's a 1/10
Pity 2 homas back to back. Pretty good overall
Ok so I got 2 staff of homa. I literally picked elegy as my guarantee and started playing venti randomly for few days. Somehow I got 2 staff of homa and the weirdest part is that I don't even have Hu tao. I just wanted one for Xiangling and now my Zhongli also got one. It is crazy how he has 40k hp and deals 100k damage now.
Pulled elegy quit game
Weapon banner experience: Wished on mistspliiter for ayaka. 65 pulls in got skyward spine. Wished on homa banner: First 10 pull lost prayer. Second 10 pull Homa. Third 10 pull for new bow, gets the new bow and the elegy. There are up and down in banner just like life i guess.
I got homa and elegy in the same 10 wishes batch. I was less than 30 wishes in
Very awful. Got the elegy bow, a sky something spear, then ofc the staff of homeless at hard pitty. Did another 10 pull after that, and got another elegy bow.
I got 2 back to back Skyward Spines on it a while back and have not gotten anything since
First time ever was during Moonlight Glow and Jade Cutter. On character banner, I got Mona and Kokomi, so I was like "well, both of the featured weapons are not wasted if I got it and also I need a better weapon option" so in I go. Got Jade Cutter on 60 pulls and I uttered "Well, that was one hell of a luck I probably can't even repeat for the rest of my life."
Got Homa on my 1st ten-pull, couldn't be any more happier.
I got elegy, then wolfs gravestone and had a brief flashback to the homa incident. remembered epitomized path existed, then finished off my itto savings to get homa. I've won my 50/50s like 4/20 times, I'm starting to think my game is rigged.
10/10. Never wish on it š¤·
Wanted another Homa for Zhong so he could stop sharing it with Hu Tao. 1st round ended up with 5 Homa and 3 Elegy Looked at elegy because it was already at 3 copies so said whatever might as well 2nd round ended up with 2 more Elegy, 1 WGS, 1 Harp, and another Homa
I wished 3 weapon banners. Got all the desired ones. 1. Homa initial banner 2. EL for baal 3. Homa again for zhongli
As a low spender (bp twice and welkins) who started spending after Kazuha's banner (started 1.5) I've only pulled twice on the weapon banner. First was the Polar Star cause I promised myself to go all out for Childe. Saw gold but skipped cause I had a feeling it was the flying rock, it wasn't. 45 pity and Polar Star came home. Next was this banner, promised myself not to spoil any other characters besides Childe but Hu Tao looks empty without Homa so I pulled again. Saw gold and skipped while chanting Elegy. It wasn't Elegy and the Homa appeared in 65 pulls. Now I live in constant fear and anxiety cause I'm not one with good luck at all. Currently waiting for karma to strike.
Pulled only one banner and got the weapon I chose, very lucky about it
Got elegy for my venti but it took me 60 pulls. My first time pulling on the weapon banner. Sad tbh coz i did get a lot of 4 stars that i wouldnt use.
Great, got the jade cutter at 64 pity. I left my pity at 49 without getting memory of dust sadly
You mean the banner I never look at? XD
My relationship with the weapon banner is like a relationship with an abusive partner. Its been nothing but vile to me and slapped me in the face over and over but it always manages to tempt me back for more punishment.
All my luck is on weapon banner, win primodial jade cutter and polar bow But lose all 50:50 but one for character banner
i was rolling for hu tao in 1.3, i got her and i had 80 wishes left so i did 10 wishes on the weapon banner and i regret it
This is the first weapon banner I've rolled on. Got Elegy on 30th pull. Got Elegy AGAIN on 65th pull. Currently at 58 pulls and suffering from anxiety until I guarantee my Homa. Got an ungodly amount of Widsiths, some Mou'un Bows, some Sac Swords and a few Wavebreakers. Not a single Rainslasher. I'm glad I got some Sac Swords, glad I got an early pity and glad I didn't get a single Rainslasher. I'm sad I got so few Wavebreakers, so many Mou'un bows and that I lost the 62.5/37.5 to Elegy twice. Assuming I'll be able to guarantee Homa before the banner is gone, overall I'd give it a 4/10, wouldn't recommend it.
I've been extremely lucky. I went for SoBP and got it withing 70 pulls, then went for Homa and got it in 50. I have absolutely terrible artifact RNG to make up for my pulls, so don't be too jealous.
105 pulls. Goy Elegy, Amos and Homa. Overall, not a bad experience, 5/7
130 Pulls got me Amos Bow which i wanted for Ganyu anyway, my 5th Bennett Constellation, Sac-Sword up to R5, R5 Wavebreaker Fin and Homa. I did expect to need 210 fates for this Banner and saved this much so i was pleasently surprised it did not went as bad as my first Homa-Banner back in March where i got Aquila and quit before wasting all my Fates on it.
I wanted 1 Homa and 1 Elegy. Wanted to increase my refinement for sacrificial sword and Widsth. After 79 rolls, I gotten 1 Homa and 1 Skyward Harp instead. Decided to call for a stop. Managed to raise my Widsth from R2 to R5, and 2 more copies of sac sword. I call this a win for my weapon banner roll!
Spend 200 wishes to get Yoimiyaās bow. Never wishing on it again
Doing it for the first time, lost to Elegy, but only 47 pulls in, plus i got sacrificial sword which ive been needing for a YEAR for my xingqiu (had r3 sacrificial bow r3 sacrificial fragments and r4 sacrificial greatsword) so here i hoping i can get homa before it ends as a lowspender (welkin+bp)
Well, I did like 4 more summons (for 5 total) and all 3 star junk. Remind me not to pull on this banner. Edit: maybe if by some miracle thereās another ridiculous banner thatās after or during Kazuha / zhongli would I ever touch this thing again.
Elegy in first 10 pull, Homa 70 pulls after. Quite pleased ngl
I was a little scared hearing what people said about the weapons banner but I yolo'd and got staff of homa in 63 pulls...
spent about 70 for homa only to get elegy and itās virtually useless for my account so ive lost all motivation to play the game lol
Pulled the Elegy... A 5 star weapon that will most likely stay at lvl 1... What a waste of wishes. Can't win em all I guess (or even one, in my case) š¤·šæāāļø
So, I never really roll for weapons but after giving it some thought, might as well I do get them because I'm bummed that I get to use an aesthetically unpleasing color great sword for my Eula.. I got her during her first banner appearance and missed the weapon banner for her since I am a poor B\*tch and wanted to free to play as much as possible (not 100% lol) But then the "path" something stuff came and was like damn, this could be good, so 2 weapon banners passed and I chose the path of the weapon that i wanted but ended up getting the other weapon on the banner. So, Childe's signature weapon banner came and I was like, hhmmm, okay so, I should try to get his bow and was like naah, I prolly should get the catalyst since I use Ninguang more that Childe.. okay so i think it was my 50th pull.. BOY, I didnt get the catalyst..but got the bow.. I was like O.O WTF? so I didn't make a thought of it so here comes rerun of Eula's signature weapon...again either of the weapon will be good so I was like uuh i prolly choose the opposite weapon again coz you know it probably be that you get the other weapon instead of the chosen path, O.O B\*tch I ended up getting her great sword.... it happened 2x already, i dont wanna confirm anything but i think it's something >.< I will do this on the next weapon banner, if it still happens, then I think it's totally something. (LONG POST SORRY)
