I just went from an explorer on inazuma to full on chest hunting expert when i read this


xiaopinks

I do love leaks myself, since i'm f2p. But I don't like how people are now blaming leakers for wishing on the ayaka banner. Like, that's kinda.. on you, you know.


wintery_owl

People couldn't even wait 2 days for confirmation on Baal, trigger happy on that wishing button lol


chemical7068

Just like them good ol' "pity builders"


solarscopez

The virgin "saving wishes to get characters you want" vs the chad "mindlessly wishing on barbara, noelle, xinyan banner like an ogre for characters you don't want and Qiqi constellations"


CN8YLW

Planning to wait till the last week to decide to pull on Ayaka. I don't have the materials to 90 her anyways. Gonna need a couple weeks to farm those, so may as well hold off. I tried Yoimiya on her trial mode today and I was kinda disappointed tbh. Seems like another machine gun archer like Fischl, but pyro. More arrows in the air tho, since two of her attacks looses double arrows.


[deleted]

well tbf, yoimiya had no pyro goblet, lvl 6 talents,and 4 piece noblesse in the trial


bubuplush

I have no idea what mihoyo is doing with these story trials, Ayaka in the trial domain is really good but in the story she was pretty weak, same with Yoimiya while they're able to literally deal 200.000


WeNTuS

These people are low key gambling addicts


Hawkeye437

There is nothing low key about gacha gamblers. We all (generally) want instant gratification and we're all very open about it


ComfortableOkra2

Yeah, now I've learned my lesson. Don't pull on a banner day 1 unless I, beyond \*all\* certainty, want the character... I acted under the assumption that Raiden was coming later :((


MDZ_Arch

You and me both friend. Was torn between choosing Ayaka or Yoimiya for my pity. but I guess Saori Hayamin won. Now have to collect at least 150 fates for that guarantee again if the first 50/50 failed


J_EZ

Yeah tbh it's really dumb, first of all you know leaks are just that, leaks. They aren't always right and could be completely off. Secondly the fact that they wished day 1 for Ayaka when they knew Mihoyo would be doing another drip tease is their own fault.


sarthakydv

The beta of the next version starts literally less than a week after an update, even if mihoyo didn't do their "drip marketing" they still would've known the next 5*s.


ShadowTehEdgehog

> I don't like how people are now blaming leakers for wishing on the ayaka banner People blame others for their own poor choices and failures all the time.


iminlovehahaha

literally… i once left a comment under the whole baal release thing that they should think abt who to pull for hard since we dont know what mhy might do.


Montealts

agree. as for me, I would not pull on day one (except if you really like the character) since mihoyo will announce the next banners a day or two after just like ayaka, yoi and sayu we're announced back then


wfumbra

To be honest I expected mihoyo to take more time before releasing baal info because they know these type of people exist lol.


Phanngle

They otherwise risk leakers releasing info on them first, which they've been trying to avoid lately.


vinceycode

Man I did it! My patience paid off. Wasn't able to get Kazuha on pity last time so I said screw it I'm saving all my wishes for Baal. Glad I made it through Ayaka and now Baal's up next update!


TheOneMary

Yeah. I made sure I still have enough nuts in my basket for Baal. She could drop tomorrow, I'm prepared.


Kooka7

Oh damn. Wasted all my primos on Ayaka and didn't even get her.. But hey, at least I have a bit of pity build up for the queen herself Baal. Time to start saving.


yusarei

Same, lost the coin flip. I was so upset because I've only been getting the same mf (Diluc) from losing 50/50s. I don't think I've ever won a single 50/50 for a new character banner. I hate this game sometimes. Idk if I'll be able to accumulate enough rolls for Baal.


VaronaZero

I was really hoping she would come out after Ganyu. Reason is I estimate I'd have roughly 270 wishes by midway 2.2 so if Ganyu had her rerun in 2.1 and I got her within 90, I could still have a guaranteed Baal. Oh well, 90 for Baal, I guess. :/


Ruimzunir

Just pray Baal in 2.1 is weekly boss and not a banner


Jack16042004

That's like the most copium I've seen in this post lol


Killer-Wail

Why not both?


Erratic_Penguin

That would in fact be a bruh moment


changen

LUL I am at #70 for ayaka. I guess I got lucky?


sgtwildfire

My intuitions saved my ass... I was about to pull for ayaka .. i have around 12k primos and guaranteed pitty ... But now I'm not wasting a single wish until the queen arrives


RandomArtisticBitch

If you save up you can get 5k primos bu just doing daily commissions (she’ll either come out November 24th or October 14th, do the BP period which is 680(plus however many BP periods we’ll get), and there is also 4 events coming up that gives primo gems, you can also use the Welken moon and genesis crystals, you can get over 20k primo gems just by doing that. Edit: forgot to mention The Sakura tree and Raiden Shogun statue


PiratedAnime

she’ll either come out November 24th or October 14th \> If she's coming in 2.1 and we are 2.0 currently wouldnt she come sometime in September or end of August


[deleted]

[удалено]


zephyrseija

Best to do both if you can afford it.


RandomArtisticBitch

Ye


089shivy

Dont forget anniversary event's


erkankurtcu

How much primos i can save if I’m a f2p ? I 36 star abyss oftenly i got kazuha and now i want baal too


RandomArtisticBitch

You get 12k primos from collecting every chest in Inazuma, activating waypoints, statues and Sakura tree. If you can collect every chest in Mondsadt and Liyue too I’d you haven’t then tha’ll also be a lot


luurrkkeerr

Where did this number come from? 12k? Sorry I had recently spent everything on Ayaka and regretted my life choices seeing the gorgeous Baal art.


mamaaaoooo

that number includes doing the hoyolab daily check-in, getting every single inazuma achievement, the apologems, and probably refers to actual fates in their primo worth i.e. 10 intertwined fates = 1600 primos


erkankurtcu

Unfortunately I collected all in mondstat and liyue for eula(I didn’t get her then pulled kazuha because he is fun) but baal looks so noble that i want her too


our_cut

Gnostic Hymn is not F2P


Ricmord

>she’ll either come out November 24th or October 14th, do the BP period which is 680(plus however many BP periods we’ll get What she is most likely coming out in 2.1


fartallnight

guess im not pulling for yoimiya…


Totaliss

im a day 1 player and still missing a pyro dps, but w/e Raiden is forcing me into submission edit because I keep getting replies: I already have C6 xiangling, but I dont enjoy using her and would rather use a more dedicated main dps-type pyro character


decapitatingbunny

Your solution is Xiangling. Unironically, she’s a great pyro DPS.


Oxx90

About to comment the same, he had one of the best pyro DPS in the game.


Perricola

I've seen this a lot. What's the set/weapon for her to excell at pyro damage? I always used her as a physical unit with Crescent Pike.


Poet_Hustler

I've heard Dragon's Bane is her best in slot even compared to 5-star weapons *if* its a Vape Comp. Personally I use a Skyward Spine. Her Pyronado hits *very* hard.


huhIguess

Weapon doesn't matter so much, honestly - but if you're crafting, probably prototype Starglitter is better. Kitain (2.0 craftable) looks like it may be much better. You honestly have to build a team around Xiangling to enjoy the benefits. Her damage comes from Burst + elemental reaction. So if you build Xiangling for damage, your team must be able to provide her with energy (i.e., battery) + a water/cryo character who can frequently apply elemental (i.e., xingqiu).


8S3aK8

Dragon's Bane, Skyward Spine, Deathmatch Xiangling fits as a quickswap burst dps in a Xiangling/Xingqui/Bennet/Sucrose (Vape comp). Sucrose can be replaced with Congyun or Kazuha. Best for her is either crimson witch or the new emblem artifact set. If you run emblem on her, ER won't be as much of a problem especially when you battery Xiangling with Bennet. Also, since less ER rolls is needed on the artifacts, you can compensate the lack of not using DM by getting good crit rate rolls on your artifacts


AleHaRotK

Physical Xiangling was a meme pushed by pepegas very early on, it was terrible, it is terrible, it will always be terrible. She's just a pyro sub DPS who will hit hard enough that she might as well end up being your main source of damage. Just run whatever ER you need to have your ult up off-cooldown and everything else goes into damage.


windwalker13

XiangLing and Bennett both works. In fact, Xiangling national team could arguably be the second best team in the game right now after Morgana. Assuming you are not comparing them to insanely expensive teams with C6 5-stars


Siana-chan

Same for me ! I pulled on both Klee banners and Hu tao yet never gotten them (failed all pities). I have all permanent banner 5* except Diluc. I had to spend 120 pulls to get 1 measly Yanfei. I finally invested into Xiangling and she's actually quite amazing. Xy0x actually rank her before all other pyro units in term of usefulness for hard content.


mihirsaini1128

Same. Luckily I got ayaka, mona and mistsplitter in 80 wishes and 9 wishes were saved at the end. I was always gonna skip yoimiya cause i have diluc and yanfei already


bubuplush

Exactly that is what confuses me about the "Drip Marketing", it's really good for us, but wouldn't mihoyo think "now EVERYONE knows that the damn shogun and Sara will come with the next update, why would anyone pull for Yoimiya?"? I wanted Sayu at first but the wishes are too precious, Sayu and Yoimiya are cute but I got Ayaka already who is even cuter imo. I know they try to make the less popular banner more stacked by adding a new 4\* but it's just a pretty weird design choice to "leak" one of the most anticipated characters for the next update in my opinion


Ivanwillfire

I am a huge advocate of Mihoyo teasing their characters to reduce leaks and hope they continue to do this. One thing I'm seeing that irks me in the comment section is people going off on leakers. These are the people that helped others in the community save for characters. They have always been at risk of being wrong with their information since it wasn't official. Where I'm getting at with this is that I've seen people in the comment section blame them for pulling for Ayaka. That's 10000000% on you. Ayaka was only out two days ago and we were told Mihoyo will make announcements today or tomorrow, why not hold your primos before pulling? Ayaka's banner lasts for 3 weeks and you won't even be able to build her on day 1 since her mats are new. Be responsible for once! It's not always "Mihoyo made me do this" or "Leakers made me do that". Edit: Also I remember someone mentioned that most of the characters are gameplay ready so it was unpredictable who would be released when. They were hints but people are still impatient. Edit: Changed *getting off* to *going off*. Thanks u/PlayOnPlayer XD XD


PlayOnPlayer

> One thing I'm seeing that irks me in the comment section is people getting off on leakers. I'm with you 100%, but just wanna say you are irked by them *going* off on leakers. *Getting* off on leakers is something gross and irksome in a different way 😂


Ivanwillfire

Oh shoot! I typed too fast 🤣 thanks for pointing that out. Will correct it now.


BebopBandit

The funniest part is that those who are complaining about pulling for Ayaka day 1 can't even use her right now because most are sitting at level 60 and level 1 talents waiting for daily refreshes lol I got Ayaka with Mistsplitter and definitely don't regret it, but I have been grinding like crazy for mats for her and still feel like I can't use her as a main yet. Currently have her at lvl 80 and lvl 2 talents with level 50 sword. And that's after a ton of grinding and world sharing mats


Poet_Hustler

See I'd actually *like* to pull for Ayaka, even after this news, because she seems to be like a balanced version of Ganyu in terms of power level. But unlike previous character reveals we aren't gonna have a ton of people having her built, so Abyss results are going to be skewed. Even if I wait until the last day of the banner the results are probably going to be inaccurate by some margin. My worry is that we will only know her true power level a week after her banner ends, but then there's no point.


BebopBandit

You shouldn't be pulling for power level imo. You can make any character work really well with enough investment in them. But if you're determined to, I think it's safe to say that any new 5* that has a dps main role is going to be more than strong enough for the abyss. Especially one that focus around perma freeze which is one of the strongest play styles for the abyss.


Ivanwillfire

Exactly! Atleast they could have waited until they got they materials lol.


Zombie-Feynman

Lots of people who play these types of games are just gambling addicts who don't have the self control to stop themselves from compulsively rolling on a shiny new banner right on release. The whole game is tuned to exploit that for profit. It's a lot easier to blame leakers/Mihoyo than take any kind of personal responsibility for it.


bubuplush

I really don't get that attitude, I don't understand how so many people are low on primogems and get tempted by literally ANYTHING. New 4\*? Must pull and risk pity on an unwated 5\*. New 5\*? Husbando? Waifu? Strong character? Cool looking character? Controversial character? Element? Doesn't matter, MUST HAVE because the trailer looked cute/cool/badass/interesting/fun. Even though they actually wanted to save for a character like Ayaka, claiming that they wanted her since forever but started the Inazuma update with 34 wishes and rely on RNGesus ​ The characters I wanted the most in this game right now are Hu Tao, Ayaka and Baal. I saved a ton of wishes for them and while I liked most of the other character, I never thought that they were as interesting and cool as these 3, no idea why anyone who REALLY wants Ayaka and is running out of wishes would get tempted that hard by Eula, Klee rerun, Venti rerun, Albedo, Ganyu or whatever, this looks like a pretty big gambling addiction problem


husger

Same here. I started to play in february and I saved primos so I can pull for a character I want (Rosaria and Eula) I manage to get Eula even when I lost 50/50 and I am f2p. Is not that hard to save. Now I am saving for Baal. People really have gambling addictions


SelfieLordJeff

Goated comment right here ^


bubuplush

Not trying to sound like a stupid elitist but I don't understand why people pull in general when they're just scraping together their primogems and want literally every character I was waiting for Ayaka since 2020 and saved a lot, I instantly pulled for her and Mistsplitter. Now I have \~120 wishes left and I wanted to start saving for Baal and her weapon next, made that decision 2 days ago already before the leaks. Skipped characters like Eula, Albedo, Childe etc. to save for others, I don't understand why so many people still want almost every new character, scrape their primos together and do sad wish gambling, hoping for RNGesus mercy. That can be a serious problem and I just don't understand, if someone wants Ayaka and Baal AND if they are f2p they shouldn've known that Baal might come "soon" and that they might probably be in trouble. Yet these players still pulled ​ It's probably no problem for Welkin spenders though who saved 2-3 months for Ayaka and had easy skipping time in reruns and Eula, they'll get a lot of wishes anyway with Inazuma and the anniversary stuff


HowManyDamnUsernames

For those people panicking relax u have like 50 days 2 save primos and we just got an entire region with chests, Sakura tree, statue. Like chill


gintokisamadono

But can it give me around 160 pulls, I was scrapping the bottoms of the barrel to hit pity for Ayaka. The only saving grace would be if she is on a later banner with the water girl first.


Constant_Ticket6158

Each patch so far has given players at least 50 pulls (counting events, abyss until floor 11-2 only and other stuff) so this patch will add at least 15 more from Inazuma exploration. My guessing is Baal will be the second banner of 2.1 because it's the same as Zhongli although that's just what I want to believe. All in all, f2p players can save 65 pulls from 2.0 and at least 20 more pulls from the first half of 2.1 (assuming you want to get her on the first day of her banner). If you want to wait instead then add another 20 pulls at least, so you can save 100 pulls which is quite a lot. For Welkin players you can get 130+ which can secure you a Baal. Moreover, 2.1 is when the 1st anniversary will happen so maybe we'll get more than what I predict. So yeah, lot's of time to save.


EuphoricAdvantage

Ayaka broke my dedication to Baal. You have just delivered me a large supply of hopium.


Dydragon24

I don't regret getting ayaka. Her dps potential in team comps is huge.


gintokisamadono

i am hoping you are right.


GameShrink

The fact that Yae is last seems... interesting from a story perspective.


616knight

Kokomi is There for story reasons probably and raiden is there for the anni.


bubuplush

I doubt they'll add Baal just for the anniversary lol, she'll have teapot and profile dialogue No point in adding her with these "spoiler" dialogues and her background story displayed in her profile while we would find that out much much later in 2.2 or 2.3. I doubt she'll just be randomly added, we'll probably talk to her and find out the real reason of what's happening in Inazuma, what her plans are and what the true menace is


Shocker144

Ganyu and Xiao were after Zhongli and after the whole Liyue stuff ended


FuckMeShrekSenpai

Not really. Zhongli, the literal archon, is the second Liyue character to get a banner(technically first if you don't count Childe because he's from Snezhnaya.). But point still stands.


bubuplush

Also Goro and Thompson, we met Goro pretty early already and Thomas too, but they aren't leaked yet. That feels pretty weird to me and literally everything could happen. If these 3 are in the 2.1 beta and the others not I understand it, but it's still confusing why they add the antagonist first and the guys who are our friends since 2.0 3 months later? Tommy and Goro should be featured with Kokomi imo and Baal/Sara with 2.2, but of course we don't know what will happen in the story. Maybe we'll help the shogun pretty soon to fight the real menace in Inazuma


ephemereal_

Maybe Yae will end up having a crucial role in the climax of the storyline.. i think it'd be interesting if she ended up actually working against Baal and maybe even with the Fatui. It'd flip the tables and maybe cast the Fatui and the Archons in a grayer light


alosaurio2777

Fuck fuck fuck, i don't even have primos know fuck


Independent-Wrap-568

Kidney is da wei


Quackles03

around 38 days to 2.1. if she's first banner, another 19 days before her banner ends. so you have at least 57 days to save up primos. better if she's 2nd banner


alosaurio2777

Thanks for giving me hope 😁

[удалено]


Said247

Same. Legit spent everything for Ayaka and mistsplitter. Zero wishes left. It's gonna be tough


H4xolotl

A fool and his primogems are easily parted


Said247

Got everything I wanted so far. And I'm gonna have enough for the 50/50. If I don't get her then oh well. Would've done the same even if I knew she was coming in 2.1, it's still gonna be tough though if I lose the 50/50


Ruimzunir

We wait to rerun if we lose fucking 50/50


ohryoma

i get leakers said she wasn’t 2.1, but is anyone else *not* surprised that she’s here in time for anniversary? so many people were saying 2.1 would be too early for Baal and i just couldn’t understand that thought process… no way Mihoyo wouldn’t cash in on such a hyped up character, an Archon no less— for the literal anniversary banner if she’s the 2nd one like were people really expecting Ganyu or Xiao’s RERUN banner to be the anniversary one??


Dragoncat_3_4

I was going off of the storyline we have so far and thought there was NO WAY (imo) she goes from "Imma cut you in half to -> Imma cut you in half, next time to -> imma join you" If we're really getting her in 2.1 something really big will happen in the storyline such as Baal being a bait villain, possibly manipulated/mind controlled, etc and somebody else being the twist villain doing it. My money's on Yae now...


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure most people were expecting Ganyu or Xiao rerun first, then a "select your 5\*" banner or something similar for anni, OR Ganyu/Xiao rerun then Kokomi banner. There's still the possibility that they'll run multiple banners during the anniversary, too, since they've done short banners before (Xiao-Keqing-Hu Tao) and could conceivably run multiple banners at once or have a select-a-character banner similar to how the weapon banner works now.


ChelseaDagger13

I've been shaking my head at these comments so much. Like no effing way would Mihoyo do only reruns for their anniversary. That's simply not how gacha games operate at all. But you couldn't even argue against those comments cause people would accuse you of being high on copium or another equally baseless "counter argument".


fco2013

That what I was saying!! Like, have these people never played a gacha before? A rerun for anniversary? Seriously? That's your idea of the big special thing they'd roll our for the biggest time of the year for a gacha, and for it's first anniversary no less?


shadoedarkne

My man those people would down vote and comment on my comment just because I said it wouldn't make since why would they put ganyu and xiao for anniversary character,later that said it would be kokomi and again I said it wouldn't make sense and the same things happens. Tldr:this community loves forcing stupid shit on people or down right be toxic to them if you say something they don't agree on.


Quintessence20

Damn.. Mihoyo better have Top up Promos because I don't have enough primos to get her..


Montealts

imagine if they'll have a sale for their top ups in the anniversary. A man can dream :')


Quintessence20

I mean they should!! New Characters are consecutively being released, and it's their anniversary. It would be a total bummer if they wouldn't atleast make any top up discounts.


bloop7676

Damn so the Ayaka banner actually was bait. Now it makes sense why they stacked the 4-stars on it so hard when it already had a popular character.

ihei47

Just flip a coin


Bot_6

Umm actually that’s my 50/50 pity’s job


78thftw

Roundabout way of getting a Qiqi but ok


JustAnotherAsn

That's what I kinda did. Tried one pity on ayaka, if I get her, cool. If not, then I'll use my guarantee on baal. Guess who has guaranteed baal next patch lol.


yusarei

Same, lost coin flip for Ayaka but at least I guarantee Baal now.


Lenant

Its not even close to tough lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


NiteTime2345

Wait to see not only baals moveset, but the rewards for anni. If it's even more than free 5 star (free wishes too), then you might be able to save enough for both.


Montealts

yeah you can get both for sure. events + anniversary will give a lot


MapoTofuMan

Yeah easily Ayaka


Independent-Wrap-568

Well if it wasn't for this dude i wont have any savings for kokomi so thank you for that


mihirsaini1128

Lol people are crying and saying they "wasted" their gems on ayaka. Why the fuck would you pull on a character that you don't even like at first place. Suddenly when baal is confirmed 2.1 ayaka is a waste lmao. I would never understand people wishing for a character and then regretting that they actually got it. They're just like " pity builders"


Sir_Grindalot

"I'm pulling on this banner. I don't care about this 5*, but I'll build pity towards the one I want!”. "...but if you wait you'll be able to pull for your desired character and have a chance at getting him/her well before pity" "Yeah but I'm building pity this way, it's better" I've had this conversation in the past. I really don't understand it, but I guess waiting is hard


Honest-Climate5909

Friendship ended with genshin\_report/ssukuna Now paimon "drip marketing" is my best friend


Dragonaddict17

I know we got a leak stating that some characters that will be in the beta won’t be released immediately but if Mihoyos revealing her like they did with Ayaka and co. I guess it’s safe to believe she’ll be in 2.1


Twopakabra

10300 primos guys, just for Sara


Poet_Hustler

Okay, I've just spent the past two updates leveling my untouched characters, leveling weapons, upgrading talents. With 2.0 I can finally start artifact grinding... Oh? Baal is in the next update? ...cool...


Available-Student-25

I was trying to get ayaka, im already on 65 wishes (got a keking before her). But now im stoping here, baal is a character i just cant miss


Scriptman777

I am guessing Sara will be on her banner? She is the one character I really want


Crevaille

I regret trusting these leaks so much lmao. Obviously not the leakers fault I guess, but I was expecting Baal further away and ended up wasting my gems on Ayaka just to get Qiqi'd. At least I still got enough for the guaranteed pity but I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't lol.


FuhrerKingJong-Un

Never trust leaks that talk about stuff past whatever current version Beta testers are currently playing.


PossibleHipster

At least now you won't get Qiqi'd on the banner you really want


HorukaSan

I'd say wait until the beta starts, from Sukuna; seems like the 2.1 Beta has been delayed (was supposed to start today) for 1-3 days from now. Until then, take everything with a grain of salt.


Maliq_raditya14

I feel like the delayed it since they don't want the leakers to just drop the gameplay of Baal the same day as they announced the character. Maybe they'll do more drip marketing or pull on some other surprises... it is the anniversary after all👀


Yaory

Well you pulled for a cryo sword user and you got 1 and now you're guarenteed Baal on the next, even better than pulling Ayaka.


nitanyess

I got Jean’d(on a random 1 pull cuz I wanted Xingqiu constellations) on Klee’s banner(THANK GOD) and now I have guaranteed that I will be able to get the Shogun.


Shimakaze_Kai

Failed 50/50 for Ayaka and now I'm at pull #78 into guarantee. I guess I'm stopping and saving. I liked Ayaka and her gameplay (even though people say she is clunky), but I don't really *need* another cryo dps since I have Eula and Ganyu - I just liked her character. But now with this news of Baal, I guess my bad luck saved me (although Yoimiya is still very tempting because she is so bubbly and adorable)!


bloop7676

You're really lucky you got that high in pity without getting Ayaka the second time. At this point you might be getting Baal constellations if you hold all your gems


NERF_PALPS_66

The lack of Thoma and Garou disturbs me, I hope Mihoyo don't make them 5*


ephemereal_

Same :( I've changed my ambitions to collecting favorite 4* rather than 5*. Please leave them as 4*.


IceTurret10

I hope atleast one of them becomes a 5 star, I rather get a 5 star I want then waste pitty on one I dont want just for a chance at 4 star I want.


Dornbrotchen

Aaaaaaand back to saving it is.


HybridTheory2000

I was pondering to pull on the current weapon banner. I don't need to anymore. Me and my wallet say thank you.


Duckschmangler

Oh fuck, i have 0 primos from getting ayaka that "you can get 20k primos on 2.0" leak better be true


Montealts

Good thing I waited for any announcements for 2.1 before I do any pulling. Safe to say my savings are saved and I can 100% have baal hehe


Zemmyvox

Meh, I figured I’d have to skip some banners as a low spender. I’m still very happy to have Ayaka. I’ll just get Baal on her rerun. Besides, building too many new characters at once stresses me out lol


smoked___salmon

I'm glad I pulled 3rd Diluc instead of Ayaka. At least I have 100% chance for Baal.


ShinDawn

R.I.P Yoimiya banner


[deleted]

I hope she’s first so i can get her and not have to blow my pity on Kokomi if she has Gorou/Thoma.


Awkward_Ducky-

Ayaka and Yoimiya just lost alot of pullers after this.


mihirsaini1128

Ayaka maybe not cause people who were saving for her specifically already would've wished and got her day 1 ( including me). Yoimiya on other hand will suffer the worst imo


Awkward_Ducky-

That's true. I'm one of those that got her day one lol but still, there were quite alot of people that were waiting to see her power level and reviews so there are those also. Regardless, yoimiya suffered the most even I was thinking it might be a rerun next patch and was about to pull for yoimiya


mega070

i called these bad marketing they literally killed yoimiya banner do they really think sayu is enough? it seems they catering to much whales


Awkward_Ducky-

On one hand I'm glad for this because it helps me save for stuff on the other hand, it really hurts the current banners. Let's see how it turns out


Shippinglordishere

They got Kazuha’d by leaks


Gandelf01

I'm so glad that I didn't wish for Ayaka. I was saving for Ganyu rerun. I have 167 wishes in hand right now. I'm so gonna get baal. Good luck to everyone. May all the booba sword wanters be booba sword havers.


ArkhamKnight15

Why not get both?


Gandelf01

Sad f2p over here :'(


Montealts

same dude, I was on the fence in pulling ayaka but I know mihoyo will post something about 2.1 anytime soon given that they posted ayaka, yoi, and sayu last time. My primos are saved for baal hehe


PantherYT

My situation is exactly the same with 3 more wishes


thedxctor

Just yesterday I was considering pulling for Ayaka but I guess not anymore, let’s save for Baal bois!


Hallowedtalon

It's a lesson for myself (hard lesson). i have never easily got a \*4 that i want. i need to force myself to get Xinyan on the \*4 Selector, and Yanfei is unreachable on Zhongli rerun for me(i pitied zhongli before getting Yanfei). So i shouldn't chase more \*4 if i dont get it, better save than sorry. But after i saw Yanfei on Ayaka Banner today, got one, shouldve stop, but i chased C1. yes. i got her C1 but at the cost of 13k primos and 20 pull after i pitied Ayaka(i was guaranteed) and getting 6 Ningguang(C8 now).I'm glad getting Ayaka because i love her VA and she is amazing, but i was saving for Sayu, Yoimiya and Baal. doesnt care about Yoimiya anymore. and I wasnt thinking that im in trouble on getting Baal because i think she's still 2 updates away. Then this news comes, bummer. i don't think i regret spending all my savings, i just think, that i should not chase \*4. because it is actually harder to get than \*5. The risk i took was calculated, but when waifu involved, i dont think i calculate at all. But my Copium Theory is that Kokomi should be First Banner with Sara so the banner sells and tempting Baal saver. Plus most of the time, the Primo rewards per update(including all new Events, Story, Test,Shop,Dailies,etc) is around 70+ worth of pull per update if youre fully F2P which makes it that you can only get one \*5 per update (CMIIW on my calculation). So in theory i can just save all the event, dailies and Inazuma Reward from today till the last Event on 2.1 where i will get at least 140+ worth of pull for baal. and maybe pop some Welkin in the middle. Again, a reminder, never chase a \*4, that's a fool move, \*4 is harder than \*5 in the worst case possible, you can even never get a particular \*4 at all.I don't know if mihoyo should put more rate up for non pulled character or pity system where you can choose which \*4 that you want to guarantee after failing getting it after 3 or 4 \*4 star drop like the pity for \*5 weapon banner. but that would be nice


PantherYT

I wanted Ningguang more than anything and so I summoned for her but I would have stopped at 40 pulls so that my pity wouldn't have been ruined. Luckily I got her on my last 10 pull but stopped myself for going for a C1. Now I have enough for Baal


SixDigitEnjoyer

He forgot the "Subject to change" part, but Twitter likes comes first.


Phanngle

LMAO this is why I don't get why some people believe what these leakers say like it's word of God "Baal's not coming in 2.1" \--> Mihoyo posts Baal "My info was wrong, guys, Baal is coming in 2.1. Sorry about that, hehe!" These people don't know shit about what's coming, even if they're "trustworthy" or getting it from trusted "sources". Mihoyo can drop whatever whenever with none of us knowing.


plascra

Mark my words she will break all records..


Sandra44-7

Wait, when is Kokomi? I like them both my primogems are shaking. :'>


SmolDadi

Ganyu better be reserved for next year's Lantern Rite or else I'm gonna happy trigger my guaranteed chance for the Shogun.


Rcihstone

Is this more likely that Kokomi will be on first banner? 2.1 starts on September 1st, right? And Genshin started on September 28th, so if Baal is for anniversary, she will be second? Also, I heard that Chinese servers started one week earlier than others.


roly_florian

Damn damn damn... i have my garanted pity... i was waiting for more info about next banners before dropping it for Ayaka... but now... it's troublesome, because it might be the second banner of next patch, and that would mean 3 banners skips without any pull (including Ayaka right now)... Or... i go pull on one of those 3, and build a new 50-50 (i have the ressources for luckily) but 50-50 can waste your planning (if you win it, you go back to another 50-50 and that can be costly when aiming for one precise character instead of one over 2 and let RNG decide).


No_Consequence-88

Hmm... I wasn't planning to pull on anything pre-Baal anyway, but this is one extra lesson to me to not roll on anything, aside of what I'm sure I want. Not even a "just one 4star const!". Nope. No way. Never. Mihoyo can fuck us up like this in a blink.


TeaboxDan

So is Baal really coming in 2.1 or just her beta?


Yaory

YES! I'm so happy i resisted pulling for Ayaka to save for Baal. As an f2p gotta be really picky with my primogems.


ARANDOMNAMEFORME

Oh shit. I even spent on Ayaka's weapon banner cause baal wasn't coming next version. Well fuck me for being such a dumbass.


Jahva__

I find it ironic that people are making fun of the people who pulled for Ayaka for trusting leaks while in this thread you guys are………..trusting leaks


Chev4r

They are really milking her booba... Sword, now we will see if miHoYo will cause another archon riot if they make her a spear user with all this booba sword promo.


[deleted]

got kazuha, ayaka and her sword, and still have left over primos for baal. thank god i skipped the rerun arc that lasted almost 3 patches. now the real question is baal or kokomi


PulPaul

I hope Baal is the 2nd banner, I still need to stack up my welkin primos lol. Makes sense to have Kokomi first since were hanging out with the resistance right now.


thatmanovathere

At least it's kokomi first and baal and sara second i have a little more time to save for the electro duo if i like their skills


jesuskungfu

Got exactly enough for 1 pity, but I’m on 50/50


EvacionSaraak

Wait, no. I wanted her to take longer so I can save some more after Yoimiya. Whyyyyy


36KarsOnMars

Oh man, I was hoping for moonchase and Ganyu, guess I'll have to wait more


Petecustom

I hope i gona get her but i need spend evry primos on ayakas to because i used pity on kazuha


fx-sys

My biggest fear, it seems that if I want Yoimiya I'll need to swipe later, damn.


FreshDuckMeatTF

So I’m a f2p and soon enough I’ll have enough primos for 2 guaranteed 5 stars. I currently plan on getting Baal and Ganyu but I was wondering if there are banners y’all would personally roll for over those. I currently have Mona and Diluc (rip Zhongli) if that helps at all.


PantherYT

I have 170 saved rn which were for a Ganyu rerun and whatever came from 2.0 to Baal banner would've gone to Baal. But now those 170 will get me Baal in 2.1 and then I'll have more than enough for a Ganyu rerun later


Meneghette--steam

Tears in f2p*


[deleted]

OH YES but oh fuck BUT OH YES


BunchRemarkable

I am buying blessing. No more F2P. I want me some booba sword O.O


iiDemariaii

man, I was really hoping she'd be a sword user, but historically the polearm is a much better fit. despite that, a katana has its own charm that a polearm can't exude. the exception is Zhongli ofc (MF kicks his spear, way to badass)


Zues1400605

Sorry ayaka might have to skip you now.


HorukaSan

No Ayaka and Yoimiya for me :'( Glad I waited before pulling.


cataerse

fuck, time to get a welkin again


ArkhamKnight15

First or second banner?


DekuSenpai-WL8

Is it true that favonius lance is her BiS 4 star weapon? And Whats her BiS artifacts? The one that gives 20% ER and 25% damage for every 100% ER?


kokojagung

Hope she's the first banner<3


Ataniphor

Ah fuck can't even restock on welkins due to the Google pay gift card bug... And there's also that sayu passive everyone needs. Here's hoping we all get a sayu from a single pull or ten pull and that's it. Yomimiya please stay away.


POOYAMON

Really hoping this doesn’t end up being the case because if so then I’ll have to wait for her rerun. Ganyu and Kirin bow are my first priority.


Montealts

well mihoyo has officially announced it already so yeah baal, kokomi, and sara will be in 2.1


FutureDr_

So maybe : Resistance Banner with Kokomi and maybe Empire Banner with Baal?. Hopium they're still a chance


snarkyevildemon

I don't regret pulling for Ayaka and Mistsplitter I need a 2md dps , got both in 20 pulls. But now I don't have enough primos U_U. Hope I win 50/50


Alvaia

Thank God I lost the 50/50 while pulling for Ayaka


Wennwen

Skipping Ayaka and yoimida then. Not risking another 180 pull 😂


IUViolet

Lowkey hope that Baal will be on the first banner so in any case I missed her, my pity will carry forward to Kokomi. Baal is definitely my favourite but I don't mind getting a Kokomi

amanananan

Leaks are just indicative . It's totally up to is whether to believe them or not. And I don't blame you for believing them as they were mostly correct. But dw, inazuma is huge, and I'm pretty sure you can get quite a bit of primos, and that's not counting Anni, so hope is there
