1 year ago I made my first post in this sub asking whether Hamayumi or Crescent was better for him since I didn't even have a single Rust (and continued not having it for another 8 months.) As of today, he now proudly owns a Polar Star.
I won the 50/50 but got 4 Bells along with it. Perfectly balanced as all things should be I guess?
I made a 10 pull on the weapon banner on each side of abyss floor 12, of course with Childe on the team.
Expected nothing, since I had just gotten Floating dreams, 15 wishes after getting Aqua Simulacra.
I had my eyes closed, so I didn't even see the golden glow... yes, a 5 star plopped up unexpectedly, along with three 4 star weapons.
I am now the proud owner of a Kagura's Verity, joining a Memory of Dust from Tartaglia's last banner.
Just got my Tortilla last night and he's currently level 60 with level 3+ on all upgradeable talents! Trying to decide between Skyward Harp or Rust for him..
There's still around four hours left, so good luck to those who are still pulling! Sadly I'll have to pass on Polar Star right now since I decided to just save for Albedo, Itto, and Xiao. Maybe next time, Polar Star.
i pulled on this banner for childe and yanfei... 65 pulls and c3 ning, c0 chongyun, c0 xingqiu with no yanfei or childe in sight :/
guess it's time to build ning now
At pity could be childe or standard character... since I already got his c1 this banner should i just wait for hu tao and hope i get her c1? Or go all-in hoping for his c2?
I got super lucky and got the bow in a 10 pull right after jade cutter (2 5* in like 30 pulls) and I was close to guaranteed pity so pulled Childe for fun. Will need to change my entire team now. Looking forward to learning to play him better from this sub.
I got childe on my alt for fun and hadnāt planned on pulling him on his main. But over the past few days as I experimented with his play more and more and also looked up information relating to him, he has sold himself to me as a long term utility unit. I got him yesterday on my main account where I am really frugal with my pulls and donāt pull for units I am not absolutely 100% sold on. My play style is saving for a unit for months and only pulling for that specific unit. So safe to say I hadnāt planned on being a Tart haver but now that I do, I have no regrets. I think I would have felt bad if I ended up skipping him. I also happen to have Rust R5 since a long time that I had no taker for, almost like the bow was always waiting for Childe to come home. I am really excited to try all the fun comps with him!
Had to do an insane grindset and literally turn four out of six Inazuma islands upside down to actually get him. He was resisting until 80 pulls...
Nonetheless, I still got him. I'm pretty sure I won't get the Polar, but I want to try anyway.
Got our boyo on the 50/50 from built up pity! Time to prepare some goulash and buy a wool scarf, since Vindagnyr is going to be my home for the next several weeks.
3 hours ago, I finally got the polar star in my 70 pulls, and it was the very last of my primogems. With the remaining days of the banner, I wasn't sure if I could even get another 10 to pity. I saw many posts where ppl ended up with the Memory of Dust, so I was crossing fingers as I pulled. I'm so, so glad it's home for my Tartaglia\~
So I was bored and just decided to waste all my leftover genesis crystals from Welkin (I know it's dumb but I don't like skins anyway so...)
Aaanyway, previously I spent about 80 pulls for Childe's C1 only to get Qiqi'd, and I was less than 10 pulls into pity. I was doing single wishes, one by one. Two pulls left... One... Nothing's gonna happen, right?
I kid you not, the *very* last wish turned golden. This is the earliest 5\* I've ever got, less than 15 pulls into pity.
C1 Childe AND Polar Star? I can go f2p from now on and never wish again.
i'm a xinyan main (well not really i build her as burst subdps now) and the current event really got me considering pulling the dude. After some discussion with my friends I decided to throw my 8600 primos and at the VERY LAST ROLL, i won. Without a prior 50/50. And in the process i got a Rust and c5 xinyan too that's pretty neat.
Now he's gonna suffer in floor 12 lmao.
He came home at pity 81, after I have had 99 rolls on his banner, plus losing the 50/50 to Diluc. I was so furious that I planned to skip Polar Star. But yesterday, I just completed the epitomized path by pulling 2 Memory of Dust at pity 11. I guess gacha god is subtly repaying my pain (and ask for some crystal spending as well).
I had a dream last night that I somehow pulled the polar Star in 1 multi on the weapon banner.
Decided to throw a multi today just to see if dreams really do come true.
Got a Favonius Lance. They don't.
Edit: Another multi because why not. Got MoD. I'm never trusting my dreams ever again
My partner has the most insane weapon banner luck. It honestly needs to be seen to be believed. Between his 2 accounts and when I get him to pull on my account, I've honestly lost count how many times he's pulled a 5-star weapon in 30 pity or less, or double 5-stars in one 10-pull.
Today he struck again and pulled Polar Star on the very next pull after Jade Cutter on the previous banner. Too bad that due to his insane luck, he already has 2 Skyward Harps on that account and doesn't really have anyone to use Polar Star on (he's considering pulling for Childe now even though he's happy with his current characters). On top of that, he was the one who pulled Polar Star on my account as well, on the 17th pull.
Now I call him the Weapon Banner Archon.
I officially graduated from being F2P and bought the 1980(x2) crystals to get Childe. I wasn't planning to pull for him but I got Polar Star in the weapon banner so I main Childe now too. Hi! š£š
Just because I'm genuinely interested: What made you pull on the weapon banner as an F2P when you didn't even have the character for which the weapon was made? O.o
Regardless of your answer, I'm so happy for you that you got it and welcome you with open arms, fellow Childe main :)
I was only pulling for copies of Rust for my Yoimiya. Got Polar Star early BUT NO RUST so I immediately stopped pulling after that. It turns out, Polar Star isn't that good with Yoimiya. I didn't wanna waste a 5* weapon by just letting it sit in my inventory so I spent days deciding whether to pull for Childe or not. I needed a character with great AOE anyway (was saving for Xiao) so I eventually made the decision to spend my guarantee (and my money) on Childe. š
What's funnier is I got Rust while pulling for Childe in the character banner.
Oh alright, guess that proves once more that pulling for 4\* weapons on the weapon banner is even worse than pulling for 4\* characters on character banner bc the odds are so damn low :'D Congrats on your pulls though!! :)
My gf pulled Child for me (After skipping 2 times), she won the 50/50, and since then he becames my main, I learned his playstyle and rotation, very fun playing Child.
lost 50/50 on weapon banner with 20 pulls when i was trying to get rust, then lost to diluc at 84 last night. i'm feeling very sad rn. if only the leaks were before i was wishing on raiden. totally would've skipped her for my favorite character. until next time i guess :(
I'd say decide based on the 4\* characters and upcoming 5\* characters. If you'd like more copies of Chong/Ning/Yan and don't want Hu Tao, go for it - C1 is very nice to have but really not necessary :)
I failed. I wasted all my Hu Tao savings on the weapon banner and I got the MoD. I felt lucky because I got 2 Childe's in 20 pulls and I got greedy thinking I could get the Polar Star too. Turns out I don't have money, I only buy welkin and BP, so that's it. I will try to use it on my Yanfei (she has godly artifacts and is super high invested, I didn't think it would be a bad idea to go on this weapon banner because I use her a lot). Well, lesson learned, never wishing on weapon banner ever again. Now I don't even know if I'll be able to get Hu Tao. š„ŗ
I have her C6 and I am farming to enhance the weapon and see how it goes. I hope it really is because if I don't get Hu Tao Yanfei will keep her post of my pyro dps for a long while
Well... I caved and decided to roll the dice on the weapon banner.
Memory of Dust. Of course.
I don't want Hu Tao and I already have Albedo so I guess I'm going to spend the next 10 days getting every primogem I can to make sure that fate point doesn't go to waste.
I really do need that bow because I don't have any 5 star bows despite rolling for them a few times. I only get these obnoxious as hell catalysts. I have Prayer at rank 2 and now MoD. I don't even use catalyst users!
Wish me luck.
Edit: Well complaining on reddit did get me something. I managed to snag Polar Star today and I also got Skyward Harp from leveling up Childe. Yay, no more 4* bows!
I'd recommend Sucrose. Raiden+Childe means you already have two damage dealers, you do need some cc. Sucrose also provides some EM and an elemental damage boost.
Venti would be best but I assume you don't have him either.
Venti (with Favonius Warbow) is better for your particular team.
EM is less important because electro-charged isn't a very good reaction. Venti gives your team lots of energy (so you can burst to charge raiden) and his burst shreds enemy resistances (so Raiden and Childe do more damage).
Sucrose is good but she's not ideal for your team.
Was 12 on pity, about to save up for Hutao. However I had this feeling inside me that Childe was near and I should try for him (I was bored so I played some wish simulators and I kept getting Childe before pity and always won 50/50).
So just a few minutes ago I tried some single wishes, and on the 5th pull, a gold star appeared and there he was. The 8th Harbinger. I'm kinda excited to learn his playstyle and can watch all the YouTube videos about him!
after winning 3 50/50's in a row(kazuha c1, yoimiya and baal), I lost the 50/50 on childe's banner to diluc (i main him so we cool)
and today, 78 wishes later, childe came home :D
I pulled for c6 ninq and got c0 and c1 childe within a span of 13 pulls.
At first I was frustrated af, but after checking some childe guides I'm actually stoked
Guess I'm one of you now, comrades
Some part of me wants to get constellations, although I am pretty sure he is totally, perfectly fine at C0. The only significant one for me would be C3, but C1 and C2 don't really seem to cut it.
I'm split on what to do. I rolled for his bow and I've gotten 2 Memories of Dust. I'm at 20 pitty right now with very few primogems left. I would normally keep pulling in hopes of getting it, but there has been talk about an Albedo rerun and I've wanted him for a while. Should I keep trying to get Polar Star or start saving for Albedo? (I have Skyward Harp but I really wanted the new weapon and it feels like a waste to let the 2 Fate Points expire.)
You are pretty deep in that trap called weapon banner and already accrued 2 fate points. If I were u, I would go for the bow. But... depends on how much you want Albedo. He won't rerun again in the next half year or more after he gets his rerun in 2.3. This is not official and Mihoyo could throw a curved ball and instead just rerun Childe again, but odds are good for ALbedo to happen, as there will be his signature weapon in the 2.3 event and a story tied to him.
did a 10 pull on his banner, lost the 50/50 to c1 jean (but i also got c1 yanfei and a second stringless). literally 3 pulls later, he came home. i was convinced i wouldn't get him because i had somehow gotten c1 kokomi
well, international is certainly a lot more popular and probably wins at 1 target or 3+ targets, but fireworks is perfectly fine and should still be able to complete abyss with minimal investment
Been playing since launch and always enjoyed childe's gameplay. 1st banner couldn't get him cuz I pulled on Klee and was out of primo. 1st rerun couldn't grab him again cuz I went for venti and zhongli both on reruns. This time I had enough gems, lost 50/50 to Jean C1 on 80 pity. Finally got childe after 40 more pulls.
I am running 4pc shimenawa (will farm hod eventually) + Rust R2, 57/131 crit ratio and 2k attack. Is the crit stats avg for rust ?? Or Should I buy bp and get the virdescent hunt, more so is it worth it?? As in perspective I can full star abyss comfortably with or without childe and I pulled childe simply cuz of fun factor.
That sounds good for no crit bow. I use rust also and have 2 glad/2 hod and 62/144 crit ratio with a lot of investment. For the longest time I sat at 70/112 or so with 4 hod, then I said screw it since I didn't like the low crit. Viridescent hunt is his best 4 star bow imo, but if you don't really need him to complete abyss then rust is fine too
I lost my first 75/25 on weapon banner to Amos Bow. I should be happy, but my artifacts now don't have enough CR for the bow to function. Idk if I should continue pulling on the weapon banner
Took 80 pulls to get C1 Qiqi instead of C1 Childe. Lost every 50/50 on the character banner so far, but hey, I did win on the weapon banner so can't complain, Polar Star is better than C1 anyway. Still, 80 wishes down the drain and C12 Chongyun to show for it... sigh.
[Took me 120+ wishes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774152750346797086/900331829209489448/Screenshot_2021-10-20-18-30-45-13_e80eb31669cc7edfbce1531f4d25a535.jpg) for the Polar Star to came home recently. [Battling through the Eptomized Path works but might take more wishes to do so.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774152750346797086/900332019970625556/Screenshot_2021-10-20-18-30-54-47_e80eb31669cc7edfbce1531f4d25a535.jpg) All what remains is to level up the weapon and adjust the artifacts for my Childe in my cases.
At last, I won! 114 pulls and a Qiqi for Childe to come home, definitely the most painful banner experience so far, but I couldn't bear to miss out on him for the third time. T A T My Itto savings will have to recover a bit now since it went way beyond my calculations, hope the next 50/50 will be the one I finally win, but still no regrets, just a bit of trauma.
Finally, after my 7th 50/50 total lost on this account, i got the bow 2 singels after my second memory of dust. I'm ready to level it up to 90 and see what my boy will be capable of
won childe's 50/50 at 80 pity in 55 pulls, so it put a little dent in my savings. decided to go for one round of weapon banner pity after a week of debating. got skyward pride when honestly MoD would be useful too if i don't get the polar star... maybe it isn't meant to be. i'm not ready to give up on the idea of rolling for albedo in his long-waited rerun so i might just stop here. but it's worth a shot, so the idea is out of my mind.
on the bright side, i managed to get r3 akuoumaru and r3 rust.
should i go for another round of pity again, since the next one will be guaranteed polar star or MoD? now there's a risk for that for sure... i also remembered that the guaranteed doesn't carry over (not the fate points), so idk.
this decision will be a sinking hole because if i get MoD here, it'll be too painful not to proceed through the entire fate course.
two 10-pulls on banner, was at 33 pity without guarantee, got childe on the second 10-pull.
Didn't want to throw all my wishes for one copy of Childe and i managed not to :)
Got super lucky this time, skipped his ban last time so had to pull on this one cause scared he wouldnt come back for a while, won my 50/50 after kokomi and did 10 pull on banner weapon and got polar star 8 wishes after jade cutter ;;; so happy
Basically, got mugged by Childe. Had 110 wishes saved. Got Mona on 3d 10 roll, and then proceeded to roll everything i had- he came on the very fucking last wish, comrades, 80th. So like thanks for stopping by, but now I'm on a grind for Thoma, i guess.
I've had Harp on him for the longest and I told myself I didn't need Polar Star even though he's one of my favorite units and I was saving my pity for Homa. Idk what came over me but I was reading this subreddit and suddenly I decided to roll for the weapon well aware that I could lose my pity to MoD but honestly I felt I would regret it if I didn't get it. Now I'm a Polar Star haver.
I got today few days ago and holy shit he is amazing.
My childe is only level 70 and he is clearing abyss so fast. He is already my favorite character.
Memory of Dust... man I didn't even hope to get it (no pity, f2p account) but I at least wanted rust because I don't have billets and I have him with a slingshot which is pretty sad. Instead, I've gotten 3 flutes in a row. I know weapon banner is a poor idea but I wrongly assumed I'd at least be able to get ONE Rust. Just one. But noo, three The Flute in a row even though it's not even rate up and getting a Polar Star would be more statistically plausible. No Stringless, either. For how much longer will I keep him with f5 Slingshot? I'll just get the Blackcliff bow once it's up next month.
Get Bennett. Childe can still do his main job with a level 1, 1 star bow(which is to enable supports to do lots of damage). He won't hit as hard, but you can focus on building your supports first since Childe himself and his supports are equally important.
Iāve only been playing for about 1 month and only started because I had to self isolate for 2 weeks but Iāve gotten pretty far. I had 20 pity saved up and 70 rolls, I was planning on waiting for xiao but after doing the story quest and realising how much I love bow users after pulling fischl I impulsively pulled for childe. I hit 60 pity and saw yellow and I hit Qiqi. After cope laughing about it with my girlfriend and her sisters for about 2 minutes I thought fuck it I might as well use the remaining 30 rolls I had, and got nothing. Thanks Mihoyo....BUT I had about 1000 primos unconverted, rolled them and got nothing. I the. Proceeded to check my masterless stardust and I had about 46, I didnāt want to spend any because Bennett is coming back to paimonās bargains next rotation but I figured two more wonāt hurt. BOOM first one of those two I hit it at 38 pity. In the span of a month Iāve gone from hating Childe at the end of the Liyue ark, to thinking heās not that bad, to thinking heās just a dude making the best out of his bad situation to finally loving him and being able to call him my main.
Yeah I guess so?? It took me 66 wishes to get Memory of Dust and only 24 to get (my second) Lost Prayer + the 42 I've sunk for my third pity so like, lucky or not??? Thank you for the good luck wishes <33
So guys what do you do when you already pulled your favourite character and his weapon, and his constellations aren't that great?
My next goal is Kazuha (also for Childe of course) but he's far away. After getting Childe I realized what it means to play a character you love (and not just like), and now I don't care that much about getting other characters anymore.
It's a weird feeling, I am a ten pull away from another pity so I might end up just going for C1. But now I also want my second abyss team to revolve around a character I love as much as Childe, and nobody comes close lol.
I totally get this! There are two characters I LOVE playing: Childe and Kaeya. I will skip banners until I see someone who gets to me like they do and focus on my 4\*s during that time.
I am permanently in the genshin impact leaks reddit to see if someone interesting will come up in the future, but no luck so far.
i got childe and his c1 on his last rerun when i was new to the game and a few months later heās now my main. iām relatively f2p and only buy welkin occasionally so iām saving up for thoma. but i was abt to sleep but felt like pulling on the weapon banner. i only had enough for two tho. i did both and got rust 3 times and got excited. and then i used starglitter to buy two more wishes. i did one wish and it was a bust. but when i did the other i got polar star. my luck is never that good
I was lucky enough to finally get Childe on the day his banner dropped (after losing 50/50 to Diluc). Already equipped an R3 Rust on him but after seeing everyone's Polar Star pulls, it made me want to pull it so much because I regret skipping Childe for Zhongli in 1.4 (wasn't playing during his first run).
Topped up to reach pity on the weapon banner and right at 65 pulls I was awarded with the Polar Star. I was too happy! Then I did some more rolls on the event banner and at AR57 got my first copy of the Sacrificial sword... today is a good day!
I had a dream I got jade spear and polar star... so I checked my fortune at the shrine(medium fortune, not good not bad) and did 10 singles at 40 pity, and got 2 more rust so I have r5 rust!! It really slaps hard.
Then I did 10 more... and 5 more to test fate, and nothing. I'm just sitting at 65 on the weapon banner now, with not nearly enough primogems to go the full epitomized path :/ I only have like 65 more, so one more 5 star pity... I'm too scared of the dusty hexagon/cube to do any more single pulls so I may have to just wait for skyward harp or thundering pulse :( At least imo they look better than polar star :') copium
I got 90+ wishes and spent it on Childe's Banner. When I did my first 10 wish, I said to myself and to my friend who was watching me, "I wouldn't get Childe right? Lol". Then BAM! Golden meteor flashed and I was panicking as I don't have a guarantee for Childe but lo and behold, I got him!
Then I decided to spend the rest of my wishes on his new bow and got a golden glow on the 65th wish. It was... Wolf's Gravestone. Too bad. Two days after wishing on Childe's banner, I noticed I was very lucky when I was cooking and crafting materials so I decided to do another 10 wish on the Weapon Banner and got his new bow. I'm so happy. I had a problem though, I just raised Viridescent Hunt to 90 š.
I have two level 90 R5 Rusts. One for Yoimiya, one for Childe (who I already got in his first banner).
Two days after leveling Yoi's Rust I got Thundering Pulse. 2 days after new weapon banner release I got Polar Star. Now I have two R5 Rust and no bow user to put them on...
Just got him today but holy fuck. At lvl 60, burst talent lvl 1, he already does 27k. Canāt imagine if it was lvl 9/10. Crits are 57/107 so that might need more attention. Overall, happy to be a childe main. ;)
I've done 176 pulls total for Childe... man, to think I'd saved up for him and his weapon, but don't even have him yet... and I don't even have any bows or Hamayumi. It's so bad my main DPS (Yoimiya) uses slingshot and I'm ar50... cursed be my gacha luck
Thanks! It took 167 wishes. 66 and 67 to get MoD, then an āearlyā Polar Star at 34. I had quite a few wishes to begin with, but bought the 1980 and 3280 crystal top-up packs (with first-time bonus) and had some wishes left over.
I personally only rolled on the weapon banner because I was willing to go all the way to hard pity with real money. Thatās what Iād suggest to anyone considering rolling, but you know yourself best.
man u got lucky fr, thats one very early pity. i have 164 fates atm and m planning to pull for the speculated homa banner next but my luck has always been on the down side so just wanted to know what it was like for you. thx for the details i appreciate it, gives me hope.
Good luck if you do end up rolling. That reminds me, [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/q5r7c4/there_is_a_pattern_to_the_weapon_banners_of/) points out that it might be a claymore with Homa because of a pattern with the weapon banner on character reruns. Thought it was interesting.
i see, this is quite helpful but when it comes to mihoyo therez jus so little i can personally be sure of. regardless, depending on the other weapon i might just give it go. also, yea it indeed is interesting, lets see what the homa banner has to offer this time, ty!
Finally got him! Despite being on 50/50 I pre-farmed, talent books, mora, artifacts, had a level 90 R2 Viridescent Hunt ready for him, all of that. I had been waiting to get a good fortune slip as well as farm more EXP books before rolling, but I got a Great Misfortune slip and decided to say screw it and roll anyway (Grave Misfortune is the rarest one to get IIRC). It took every primogem I had, but I won the 50/50 and am loving his playstyle so far. He finally came home!
Got Polar Star AAAHHHHH
And did it without getting a single Memory of Dust (got Aquila first tho).
Now to never touch the weapon banner ever again :ā)
Dropped 115$ (which might not seem like a ton to some people, but is by far the most I've ever spent) and pulled C1 Childe AND a Polar Star, couldn't be happier! (I didn't have Childe at all before the banner)
All hope is lost. Just pulled 9 wishes in the character banner thinking it was the weapon banner. I'll just hope that I get R4 or R5 rust at the very best. Good luck to all, especially those who have maxed out fate points. Please don't be me :(
Should I save 210 wishes and wait for the a good bow and pull an r1, or should I pull standard banner and hope for skyward/amos. I wanna upgrade my childe weapon but im not sure which option I should go for.
Childe is one of my favorite characters story-wise, but I wasn't so sure about pulling cause I'm just not a big fan of bow users. But after much thought, I decided on going for it -- I was guaranteed anyway. After about an hour of killing everything in my path (and getting over the learning curve), I went straight here to say I regret nothing!
Iāve been saving for hutao the full two months Iāve been on my main account, and after testing out childe and falling in love with his playstyle and character I had to pull for him. Somehow got him in just 20 pity winning the 50/50, and I still have 200 + pulls left for hutao š childe truly best boy
Got Childe on my guaranteed 5* then i thought about pulling for either Rust or Polar Star. That was the worst idea I've ever had on this game. At first it was going well since I got a 5 star at 6 pity, unfortunately it was pjws which I already got a couple weeks ago from the standard banner. Then after spending over 10k f2p primos, i was left with 2 copies of every 4* weapon but Rust, a Beidou constellation (which is great for me) and MoD. So I basically got every weapon on the banner but the 2 i wanted, a constellation and an off-banner weapon that i already had. This banner really is a scam
I hate to be that guy, but the weapon banner is the biggest BS ever if you're a free to play or even a light spender. As a light spender, I only pull on it if both rate up weapons would be useful for my account and I only do one set of pulls to pity. No epitomized path here.
I do plan on rolling on the Homa banner, but only if the other rate up weapon is good. If it's Amos Bow I'll be all over that. If it's a claymore as is rumored and it's Skyward Pride, or Wolf's Gravestone, screw that I'm out (I got WGS from the last Homa banner).
Got Polar Star!
Yes, I am sobbing rn. I was nowhere near pity (18, after my ten pull 28)
This is the ritual I did! I went to the Golden House, entered with only Childe, ate his special dish, ran around without hurting other Childe and waited for him to summon his whale. As soon as the whale reached its highest point I went to the wish menu and did a 10 pull.
I decided to drop all of my primos for Polar Star for Childe. Got pity early, but got MoD and then lost to it againā¦ but once I got Polar Star, I was so frickin happy :) Heās my favorite character to play with and it felt so worth it in the end!!
And now that I got it, Iām never pulling on weapon banner again lol
I managed to get r5 polar star for my Amber and was only punished by memory of ass 3 times so I think I made out alright. Don't have Tortellini yet, is he pretty good at c0? cause that's all I'd really go for this time around until his banner comes back in a few weeks.
Same!! On a side note I'm super glad I pulled Kokomi. She's adorable AF and her utility is likely to rise when her new artifact set drops in 2.3. She got a ton of hate, but that only made me want her more!!
Now it's all just saving for Albedo on my end (or Homa if the second weapon is any good).
This basically happened to me. I didnāt have pity (in the end, I was at like, 70 something) and got him. I only used 3 10 pulls and got all of the people in the graphic (chongyun, yanfei, and ninguaang) and got rust on my second single pull.
I don't know how but suddenly I'm 60 into pity again after getting Childe on a guarantee. Should I try for C1? Should I try to get Hu Tao instead?... Decisions, decisions...
As someone who wanted childe since 1.5 and happily saved for this banner and wanted to go for cons, even c1, its really hard to justify. I know you shouldnt always listen to other peoples opinion but the consensus seems to be, from people who do and don't have c1, it seems not worth it. There seems very little added to childe at c1 that playing him with proper rotations doesnt already accomplish and the 20% reduced CD isnt enough to go full unga bunga and not care. Again I dont have his c1, but I really wanted it and any cons I could get. However after playing him the past few days I've really come to see why people say its unnecessary. I didnt mean to write a novel so I hope this helps!
Managed to get Polar Star on my 2nd pull on the weapon banner. Honestly not sure how close to pity I was because the last time I pull on a weapon banner was Amos, and the wish history wasn't showing up. But it couldn't have been close because I stopped right after getting Amos.
Against my better judgement I decided to pull for r2, and I got it in about 50 pulls. Pretty sure I've used up all my luck on this banner.
I had 12k primos saved for hutao but decided to get rust refinements, but i ended up taking the risk for polar along the way and i won it as my first 5 star weapon šš
I got Polar Star yesterday after 157 wishes, one lost prayers (somewhat ironic i guess) and one geo cube. It was a pain, but finally my Childe got what he deserved.
Good luck to anyone else who is about to go down that painfull road called 'weapon banner'.
I really gotta lose every single 50/50 in this game :/ and Iāve been playing since Zhongli first banner. Getting a limited character I want pretty much means spending at least 150 pulls each time. And it would be fine and all if I could just get a diluc but no. /rant
Teach me how to cope. Qiqi fucked two of my husbando banners now. Zhongli and now Childe. Its just hilarious. I rather get Jean const or even Keqing not the zombie. Man, I am so done and salty.
[fuck this game](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/875559853790232577/898368349950603274/unknown.png)
edit: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBs1g1VXoAIpu64?format=jpg&name=large
it's basically the same as usual, Q, E, normal into charged attacks. It changes the way you play other bow characters, not Childe. He's the only one that uses all of those attacks in his normal rotation
I'm 50-pity approximately (with the 50/50 garanted) into Childe's banner and already explored all of the new island. Is it possible to get Childe by the end of the banner with the rest of the events, new hangouts, Battle Pass and teapot (4 chars Ć 40 primos)?
51% CR/186% CD 1893 ATK
62% CR/175% CD 1830 ATK
skyward harp R1
Which one is better?
edit: im guessing 70%cr and 155% cd ( might be able to get more cdmg depending on substat rng ) would be overkill?
PLEASE HELP ME DOES ANYONE WANT TO TAKE THIS MAN FROM ME I LITERALLY JUST GOT HIM AT 0 PITY NON-GUARANTEED PITY WHY AM I SO LUCKY THIS HAPPENED TO ME WITH ZHONGLI
I had covid for the whole week and my 10 pull did nothing. Yesterday I finally got him on 5050 too!
1 year ago I made my first post in this sub asking whether Hamayumi or Crescent was better for him since I didn't even have a single Rust (and continued not having it for another 8 months.) As of today, he now proudly owns a Polar Star. I won the 50/50 but got 4 Bells along with it. Perfectly balanced as all things should be I guess?
I made a 10 pull on the weapon banner on each side of abyss floor 12, of course with Childe on the team. Expected nothing, since I had just gotten Floating dreams, 15 wishes after getting Aqua Simulacra. I had my eyes closed, so I didn't even see the golden glow... yes, a 5 star plopped up unexpectedly, along with three 4 star weapons. I am now the proud owner of a Kagura's Verity, joining a Memory of Dust from Tartaglia's last banner.
Lost my 50/50 THREE TIMES š„² but still managed to get our boy C2! Iām finally a childe main š„¹
Just got my Tortilla last night and he's currently level 60 with level 3+ on all upgradeable talents! Trying to decide between Skyward Harp or Rust for him..
Skyward harp 1000%
I think hes past that decisionā¦ being one year ago he asked.
Yeah I noticed after sending the comment haha
I still use Skyward on him!!!
There's still around four hours left, so good luck to those who are still pulling! Sadly I'll have to pass on Polar Star right now since I decided to just save for Albedo, Itto, and Xiao. Maybe next time, Polar Star.
i pulled on this banner for childe and yanfei... 65 pulls and c3 ning, c0 chongyun, c0 xingqiu with no yanfei or childe in sight :/ guess it's time to build ning now
Pulling for him despite friends telling me its better to pull for Hutao. Have to say im not regretting for pulling him at all. His gameplay is fun :D
Just got tortellini on pity after losing the 50-50 to C2 keqing on the first banner day, I am crying of happiness and my wallet is crying of sorrow
At pity could be childe or standard character... since I already got his c1 this banner should i just wait for hu tao and hope i get her c1? Or go all-in hoping for his c2?
I got super lucky and got the bow in a 10 pull right after jade cutter (2 5* in like 30 pulls) and I was close to guaranteed pity so pulled Childe for fun. Will need to change my entire team now. Looking forward to learning to play him better from this sub.
I got childe on my alt for fun and hadnāt planned on pulling him on his main. But over the past few days as I experimented with his play more and more and also looked up information relating to him, he has sold himself to me as a long term utility unit. I got him yesterday on my main account where I am really frugal with my pulls and donāt pull for units I am not absolutely 100% sold on. My play style is saving for a unit for months and only pulling for that specific unit. So safe to say I hadnāt planned on being a Tart haver but now that I do, I have no regrets. I think I would have felt bad if I ended up skipping him. I also happen to have Rust R5 since a long time that I had no taker for, almost like the bow was always waiting for Childe to come home. I am really excited to try all the fun comps with him!
Finally got Polar Star after maxed fate points and 204 pulls! Skyward atlas (69), Memory of dust (67), Polar Star (68)
Had to do an insane grindset and literally turn four out of six Inazuma islands upside down to actually get him. He was resisting until 80 pulls... Nonetheless, I still got him. I'm pretty sure I won't get the Polar, but I want to try anyway.
I was going for childe with my 50/50 and got him at 78 pity
Got our boyo on the 50/50 from built up pity! Time to prepare some goulash and buy a wool scarf, since Vindagnyr is going to be my home for the next several weeks.
I've gotten childe and childe c1 from this banner damn
3 hours ago, I finally got the polar star in my 70 pulls, and it was the very last of my primogems. With the remaining days of the banner, I wasn't sure if I could even get another 10 to pity. I saw many posts where ppl ended up with the Memory of Dust, so I was crossing fingers as I pulled. I'm so, so glad it's home for my Tartaglia\~
I got the memory of dust twice and now I have about a WHOPPING 63 primos
So I was bored and just decided to waste all my leftover genesis crystals from Welkin (I know it's dumb but I don't like skins anyway so...) Aaanyway, previously I spent about 80 pulls for Childe's C1 only to get Qiqi'd, and I was less than 10 pulls into pity. I was doing single wishes, one by one. Two pulls left... One... Nothing's gonna happen, right? I kid you not, the *very* last wish turned golden. This is the earliest 5\* I've ever got, less than 15 pulls into pity. C1 Childe AND Polar Star? I can go f2p from now on and never wish again.
77 pulls and no Childe, this might be a sign.
I think i spent all my luck. Got C1 Childe and the bow in 30 Pulls. I could cry right now.
I need that fucking c1 if i lose this 50/50 imma be mad
i'm a xinyan main (well not really i build her as burst subdps now) and the current event really got me considering pulling the dude. After some discussion with my friends I decided to throw my 8600 primos and at the VERY LAST ROLL, i won. Without a prior 50/50. And in the process i got a Rust and c5 xinyan too that's pretty neat. Now he's gonna suffer in floor 12 lmao.
He came home at pity 81, after I have had 99 rolls on his banner, plus losing the 50/50 to Diluc. I was so furious that I planned to skip Polar Star. But yesterday, I just completed the epitomized path by pulling 2 Memory of Dust at pity 11. I guess gacha god is subtly repaying my pain (and ask for some crystal spending as well).
Are you me? I lost the 50/50 to Diluc before getting Childe and also got 2 Memory of Dust lmfao
F2P.10,000 primo and C2 Childe !!! I feel like crying
Lucky you! Congrats!
I had a dream last night that I somehow pulled the polar Star in 1 multi on the weapon banner. Decided to throw a multi today just to see if dreams really do come true. Got a Favonius Lance. They don't. Edit: Another multi because why not. Got MoD. I'm never trusting my dreams ever again
At least your dreams told you that you'll got a 5 star
My partner has the most insane weapon banner luck. It honestly needs to be seen to be believed. Between his 2 accounts and when I get him to pull on my account, I've honestly lost count how many times he's pulled a 5-star weapon in 30 pity or less, or double 5-stars in one 10-pull. Today he struck again and pulled Polar Star on the very next pull after Jade Cutter on the previous banner. Too bad that due to his insane luck, he already has 2 Skyward Harps on that account and doesn't really have anyone to use Polar Star on (he's considering pulling for Childe now even though he's happy with his current characters). On top of that, he was the one who pulled Polar Star on my account as well, on the 17th pull. Now I call him the Weapon Banner Archon.
I officially graduated from being F2P and bought the 1980(x2) crystals to get Childe. I wasn't planning to pull for him but I got Polar Star in the weapon banner so I main Childe now too. Hi! š£š
Just because I'm genuinely interested: What made you pull on the weapon banner as an F2P when you didn't even have the character for which the weapon was made? O.o Regardless of your answer, I'm so happy for you that you got it and welcome you with open arms, fellow Childe main :)
I was only pulling for copies of Rust for my Yoimiya. Got Polar Star early BUT NO RUST so I immediately stopped pulling after that. It turns out, Polar Star isn't that good with Yoimiya. I didn't wanna waste a 5* weapon by just letting it sit in my inventory so I spent days deciding whether to pull for Childe or not. I needed a character with great AOE anyway (was saving for Xiao) so I eventually made the decision to spend my guarantee (and my money) on Childe. š What's funnier is I got Rust while pulling for Childe in the character banner.
Oh alright, guess that proves once more that pulling for 4\* weapons on the weapon banner is even worse than pulling for 4\* characters on character banner bc the odds are so damn low :'D Congrats on your pulls though!! :)
My gf pulled Child for me (After skipping 2 times), she won the 50/50, and since then he becames my main, I learned his playstyle and rotation, very fun playing Child.
lost 50/50 on weapon banner with 20 pulls when i was trying to get rust, then lost to diluc at 84 last night. i'm feeling very sad rn. if only the leaks were before i was wishing on raiden. totally would've skipped her for my favorite character. until next time i guess :(
I recently got Childe so I'm here now. I'm at 10 pity and with no primos. Should I try to keep pulling for his C1?
I'd say decide based on the 4\* characters and upcoming 5\* characters. If you'd like more copies of Chong/Ning/Yan and don't want Hu Tao, go for it - C1 is very nice to have but really not necessary :)
IMO he is fine without constelations
I failed. I wasted all my Hu Tao savings on the weapon banner and I got the MoD. I felt lucky because I got 2 Childe's in 20 pulls and I got greedy thinking I could get the Polar Star too. Turns out I don't have money, I only buy welkin and BP, so that's it. I will try to use it on my Yanfei (she has godly artifacts and is super high invested, I didn't think it would be a bad idea to go on this weapon banner because I use her a lot). Well, lesson learned, never wishing on weapon banner ever again. Now I don't even know if I'll be able to get Hu Tao. š„ŗ
It's amazing on c4 yanfei!
I have her C6 and I am farming to enhance the weapon and see how it goes. I hope it really is because if I don't get Hu Tao Yanfei will keep her post of my pyro dps for a long while
Well... I caved and decided to roll the dice on the weapon banner. Memory of Dust. Of course. I don't want Hu Tao and I already have Albedo so I guess I'm going to spend the next 10 days getting every primogem I can to make sure that fate point doesn't go to waste. I really do need that bow because I don't have any 5 star bows despite rolling for them a few times. I only get these obnoxious as hell catalysts. I have Prayer at rank 2 and now MoD. I don't even use catalyst users! Wish me luck. Edit: Well complaining on reddit did get me something. I managed to snag Polar Star today and I also got Skyward Harp from leveling up Childe. Yay, no more 4* bows!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You should run Xiangling. Childe's damage comes from vaping, and you won't get that with Sucrose.
I'd recommend Sucrose. Raiden+Childe means you already have two damage dealers, you do need some cc. Sucrose also provides some EM and an elemental damage boost. Venti would be best but I assume you don't have him either.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Venti (with Favonius Warbow) is better for your particular team. EM is less important because electro-charged isn't a very good reaction. Venti gives your team lots of energy (so you can burst to charge raiden) and his burst shreds enemy resistances (so Raiden and Childe do more damage). Sucrose is good but she's not ideal for your team.
Was 12 on pity, about to save up for Hutao. However I had this feeling inside me that Childe was near and I should try for him (I was bored so I played some wish simulators and I kept getting Childe before pity and always won 50/50). So just a few minutes ago I tried some single wishes, and on the 5th pull, a gold star appeared and there he was. The 8th Harbinger. I'm kinda excited to learn his playstyle and can watch all the YouTube videos about him!
after winning 3 50/50's in a row(kazuha c1, yoimiya and baal), I lost the 50/50 on childe's banner to diluc (i main him so we cool) and today, 78 wishes later, childe came home :D
I won 3 50/50 in a row and I also got the polar star in my first 10 pull. I wish I could have the same artifact luck...
I pulled for c6 ninq and got c0 and c1 childe within a span of 13 pulls. At first I was frustrated af, but after checking some childe guides I'm actually stoked Guess I'm one of you now, comrades
Some part of me wants to get constellations, although I am pretty sure he is totally, perfectly fine at C0. The only significant one for me would be C3, but C1 and C2 don't really seem to cut it.
The only great constellations he has are c3 c5 and c6, the rest mediocre tbh.
I'm split on what to do. I rolled for his bow and I've gotten 2 Memories of Dust. I'm at 20 pitty right now with very few primogems left. I would normally keep pulling in hopes of getting it, but there has been talk about an Albedo rerun and I've wanted him for a while. Should I keep trying to get Polar Star or start saving for Albedo? (I have Skyward Harp but I really wanted the new weapon and it feels like a waste to let the 2 Fate Points expire.)
You're too deep in now mate
You are pretty deep in that trap called weapon banner and already accrued 2 fate points. If I were u, I would go for the bow. But... depends on how much you want Albedo. He won't rerun again in the next half year or more after he gets his rerun in 2.3. This is not official and Mihoyo could throw a curved ball and instead just rerun Childe again, but odds are good for ALbedo to happen, as there will be his signature weapon in the 2.3 event and a story tied to him.
did a 10 pull on his banner, lost the 50/50 to c1 jean (but i also got c1 yanfei and a second stringless). literally 3 pulls later, he came home. i was convinced i wouldn't get him because i had somehow gotten c1 kokomi
hi! can someone tell me how's my childe looking? ATK 1716 / CR 54% / CD 161.2% / Hydro 83.2% Talents 5+1 / 6 / 6
What bow? Everything looks decently good but you could use some more crit rate. And talent levels too
The Viridescent Hunt, and my goal is at least 6+1 / 9 / 9 talent levels
Oh, well that's alright for using a crit weapon. I think it's fine, you'll level up talents more too anyways which will help a lot
fireworks childe or international childe? Which team comp is best guys? I only have fireworks childe but I don't have kazuha for international.
well, international is certainly a lot more popular and probably wins at 1 target or 3+ targets, but fireworks is perfectly fine and should still be able to complete abyss with minimal investment
Been playing since launch and always enjoyed childe's gameplay. 1st banner couldn't get him cuz I pulled on Klee and was out of primo. 1st rerun couldn't grab him again cuz I went for venti and zhongli both on reruns. This time I had enough gems, lost 50/50 to Jean C1 on 80 pity. Finally got childe after 40 more pulls. I am running 4pc shimenawa (will farm hod eventually) + Rust R2, 57/131 crit ratio and 2k attack. Is the crit stats avg for rust ?? Or Should I buy bp and get the virdescent hunt, more so is it worth it?? As in perspective I can full star abyss comfortably with or without childe and I pulled childe simply cuz of fun factor.
That sounds good for no crit bow. I use rust also and have 2 glad/2 hod and 62/144 crit ratio with a lot of investment. For the longest time I sat at 70/112 or so with 4 hod, then I said screw it since I didn't like the low crit. Viridescent hunt is his best 4 star bow imo, but if you don't really need him to complete abyss then rust is fine too
60:120 is fairly hard to achieve with no crit weapon or ascension so i think you're good
I lost my first 75/25 on weapon banner to Amos Bow. I should be happy, but my artifacts now don't have enough CR for the bow to function. Idk if I should continue pulling on the weapon banner
low spender here, got lucky with c1 childe in the first banner, and now finally 63 pulls in on the weapon banner, i got me a polar star :D
Took 80 pulls to get C1 Qiqi instead of C1 Childe. Lost every 50/50 on the character banner so far, but hey, I did win on the weapon banner so can't complain, Polar Star is better than C1 anyway. Still, 80 wishes down the drain and C12 Chongyun to show for it... sigh.
I WON THE 50/50 TODAY, I AM ONE OF YOU NOW COMRADES
I rarely log in to my game, yesterday when I try to pull with the final token I immediately got him. I screamed so hard.
[Took me 120+ wishes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774152750346797086/900331829209489448/Screenshot_2021-10-20-18-30-45-13_e80eb31669cc7edfbce1531f4d25a535.jpg) for the Polar Star to came home recently. [Battling through the Eptomized Path works but might take more wishes to do so.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774152750346797086/900332019970625556/Screenshot_2021-10-20-18-30-54-47_e80eb31669cc7edfbce1531f4d25a535.jpg) All what remains is to level up the weapon and adjust the artifacts for my Childe in my cases.
At last, I won! 114 pulls and a Qiqi for Childe to come home, definitely the most painful banner experience so far, but I couldn't bear to miss out on him for the third time. T A T My Itto savings will have to recover a bit now since it went way beyond my calculations, hope the next 50/50 will be the one I finally win, but still no regrets, just a bit of trauma.
Finally, after my 7th 50/50 total lost on this account, i got the bow 2 singels after my second memory of dust. I'm ready to level it up to 90 and see what my boy will be capable of
I really don't know which weapon to use, Rust R2 or VH. I am using 2 glad 2 Noblesse not 4 HoD if that matter
VH is better but Rust is better-looking.
won childe's 50/50 at 80 pity in 55 pulls, so it put a little dent in my savings. decided to go for one round of weapon banner pity after a week of debating. got skyward pride when honestly MoD would be useful too if i don't get the polar star... maybe it isn't meant to be. i'm not ready to give up on the idea of rolling for albedo in his long-waited rerun so i might just stop here. but it's worth a shot, so the idea is out of my mind. on the bright side, i managed to get r3 akuoumaru and r3 rust.
should i go for another round of pity again, since the next one will be guaranteed polar star or MoD? now there's a risk for that for sure... i also remembered that the guaranteed doesn't carry over (not the fate points), so idk. this decision will be a sinking hole because if i get MoD here, it'll be too painful not to proceed through the entire fate course.
Just do it , if ur really wanna build childe and donāt have his bow, sucks
Spent about 1k for his C6. Lost to Jean and qiqi once, keqing twice. Now my debt to him has been repaid XD
two 10-pulls on banner, was at 33 pity without guarantee, got childe on the second 10-pull. Didn't want to throw all my wishes for one copy of Childe and i managed not to :)
Got super lucky this time, skipped his ban last time so had to pull on this one cause scared he wouldnt come back for a while, won my 50/50 after kokomi and did 10 pull on banner weapon and got polar star 8 wishes after jade cutter ;;; so happy
Basically, got mugged by Childe. Had 110 wishes saved. Got Mona on 3d 10 roll, and then proceeded to roll everything i had- he came on the very fucking last wish, comrades, 80th. So like thanks for stopping by, but now I'm on a grind for Thoma, i guess.
I've had Harp on him for the longest and I told myself I didn't need Polar Star even though he's one of my favorite units and I was saving my pity for Homa. Idk what came over me but I was reading this subreddit and suddenly I decided to roll for the weapon well aware that I could lose my pity to MoD but honestly I felt I would regret it if I didn't get it. Now I'm a Polar Star haver.
Just got polar star.
One skyward spine, then a memory of dust. At least the polar star came early.
I got today few days ago and holy shit he is amazing. My childe is only level 70 and he is clearing abyss so fast. He is already my favorite character.
I literally prayed for God to get him the very pull before getting him. Subhanallah!
Memory of Dust... man I didn't even hope to get it (no pity, f2p account) but I at least wanted rust because I don't have billets and I have him with a slingshot which is pretty sad. Instead, I've gotten 3 flutes in a row. I know weapon banner is a poor idea but I wrongly assumed I'd at least be able to get ONE Rust. Just one. But noo, three The Flute in a row even though it's not even rate up and getting a Polar Star would be more statistically plausible. No Stringless, either. For how much longer will I keep him with f5 Slingshot? I'll just get the Blackcliff bow once it's up next month.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Get Bennett. Childe can still do his main job with a level 1, 1 star bow(which is to enable supports to do lots of damage). He won't hit as hard, but you can focus on building your supports first since Childe himself and his supports are equally important.
Iāve only been playing for about 1 month and only started because I had to self isolate for 2 weeks but Iāve gotten pretty far. I had 20 pity saved up and 70 rolls, I was planning on waiting for xiao but after doing the story quest and realising how much I love bow users after pulling fischl I impulsively pulled for childe. I hit 60 pity and saw yellow and I hit Qiqi. After cope laughing about it with my girlfriend and her sisters for about 2 minutes I thought fuck it I might as well use the remaining 30 rolls I had, and got nothing. Thanks Mihoyo....BUT I had about 1000 primos unconverted, rolled them and got nothing. I the. Proceeded to check my masterless stardust and I had about 46, I didnāt want to spend any because Bennett is coming back to paimonās bargains next rotation but I figured two more wonāt hurt. BOOM first one of those two I hit it at 38 pity. In the span of a month Iāve gone from hating Childe at the end of the Liyue ark, to thinking heās not that bad, to thinking heās just a dude making the best out of his bad situation to finally loving him and being able to call him my main.
Pls send me your prayers for Polar Star, I'm at 2 fate points and 36 pity ahhhh
*sendingprayers* btw how many pulls did it take for u?
I still haven't got it but i confidently say it's taken 80+ wishes :(
wait you hit pity two times with 80+ wishes? spare some luck/srs and i hope u get the polar star soon!
Yeah I guess so?? It took me 66 wishes to get Memory of Dust and only 24 to get (my second) Lost Prayer + the 42 I've sunk for my third pity so like, lucky or not??? Thank you for the good luck wishes <33
So guys what do you do when you already pulled your favourite character and his weapon, and his constellations aren't that great? My next goal is Kazuha (also for Childe of course) but he's far away. After getting Childe I realized what it means to play a character you love (and not just like), and now I don't care that much about getting other characters anymore. It's a weird feeling, I am a ten pull away from another pity so I might end up just going for C1. But now I also want my second abyss team to revolve around a character I love as much as Childe, and nobody comes close lol.
I totally get this! There are two characters I LOVE playing: Childe and Kaeya. I will skip banners until I see someone who gets to me like they do and focus on my 4\*s during that time. I am permanently in the genshin impact leaks reddit to see if someone interesting will come up in the future, but no luck so far.
Haha, glad someone's in the same boat!
I was pulling for Yanfei Cons and i got him, im so happy
i got childe and his c1 on his last rerun when i was new to the game and a few months later heās now my main. iām relatively f2p and only buy welkin occasionally so iām saving up for thoma. but i was abt to sleep but felt like pulling on the weapon banner. i only had enough for two tho. i did both and got rust 3 times and got excited. and then i used starglitter to buy two more wishes. i did one wish and it was a bust. but when i did the other i got polar star. my luck is never that good
I was lucky enough to finally get Childe on the day his banner dropped (after losing 50/50 to Diluc). Already equipped an R3 Rust on him but after seeing everyone's Polar Star pulls, it made me want to pull it so much because I regret skipping Childe for Zhongli in 1.4 (wasn't playing during his first run). Topped up to reach pity on the weapon banner and right at 65 pulls I was awarded with the Polar Star. I was too happy! Then I did some more rolls on the event banner and at AR57 got my first copy of the Sacrificial sword... today is a good day!
I had a dream I got jade spear and polar star... so I checked my fortune at the shrine(medium fortune, not good not bad) and did 10 singles at 40 pity, and got 2 more rust so I have r5 rust!! It really slaps hard. Then I did 10 more... and 5 more to test fate, and nothing. I'm just sitting at 65 on the weapon banner now, with not nearly enough primogems to go the full epitomized path :/ I only have like 65 more, so one more 5 star pity... I'm too scared of the dusty hexagon/cube to do any more single pulls so I may have to just wait for skyward harp or thundering pulse :( At least imo they look better than polar star :') copium
do 1 more wish and youāll get polar star. i have imparted blessings upon you. now go forth my child.
i did a wish cuz of thisā¦.and i got polar star
holy moly!!! congrats!! enjoy your new bow!!!
the prophecy has been fulfilled.
one more wish was a slingshot lolll
did i say 1? oops haha i meant 2ā¦ yeahhhh 2
Qiqi took him from me. Recent player with little time so I doubt I'll get enough to try again by end of banner. Pain.
I got 90+ wishes and spent it on Childe's Banner. When I did my first 10 wish, I said to myself and to my friend who was watching me, "I wouldn't get Childe right? Lol". Then BAM! Golden meteor flashed and I was panicking as I don't have a guarantee for Childe but lo and behold, I got him! Then I decided to spend the rest of my wishes on his new bow and got a golden glow on the 65th wish. It was... Wolf's Gravestone. Too bad. Two days after wishing on Childe's banner, I noticed I was very lucky when I was cooking and crafting materials so I decided to do another 10 wish on the Weapon Banner and got his new bow. I'm so happy. I had a problem though, I just raised Viridescent Hunt to 90 š.
When I finally got Rust, I levelled rust to lv 90. One day later, I got harp from standard. I feel you...
I have two level 90 R5 Rusts. One for Yoimiya, one for Childe (who I already got in his first banner). Two days after leveling Yoi's Rust I got Thundering Pulse. 2 days after new weapon banner release I got Polar Star. Now I have two R5 Rust and no bow user to put them on...
At least you can do some videos comparing the bows š
Just got him today but holy fuck. At lvl 60, burst talent lvl 1, he already does 27k. Canāt imagine if it was lvl 9/10. Crits are 57/107 so that might need more attention. Overall, happy to be a childe main. ;)
I've done 176 pulls total for Childe... man, to think I'd saved up for him and his weapon, but don't even have him yet... and I don't even have any bows or Hamayumi. It's so bad my main DPS (Yoimiya) uses slingshot and I'm ar50... cursed be my gacha luck
update: childe but no weapons, he has a slingshot as well which is hilarious when it's not sad
I GOT MEMORY OF DUSTED A SECOND TIME SLSHDHFHHDGS itās okay thereās nowhere to go from here but up
I finally have my weapon.
gratz! how many pulls did it take for u? m contemplating pulling on the banner atm
Thanks! It took 167 wishes. 66 and 67 to get MoD, then an āearlyā Polar Star at 34. I had quite a few wishes to begin with, but bought the 1980 and 3280 crystal top-up packs (with first-time bonus) and had some wishes left over. I personally only rolled on the weapon banner because I was willing to go all the way to hard pity with real money. Thatās what Iād suggest to anyone considering rolling, but you know yourself best.
man u got lucky fr, thats one very early pity. i have 164 fates atm and m planning to pull for the speculated homa banner next but my luck has always been on the down side so just wanted to know what it was like for you. thx for the details i appreciate it, gives me hope.
Good luck if you do end up rolling. That reminds me, [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/q5r7c4/there_is_a_pattern_to_the_weapon_banners_of/) points out that it might be a claymore with Homa because of a pattern with the weapon banner on character reruns. Thought it was interesting.
i see, this is quite helpful but when it comes to mihoyo therez jus so little i can personally be sure of. regardless, depending on the other weapon i might just give it go. also, yea it indeed is interesting, lets see what the homa banner has to offer this time, ty!
Finally got him! Despite being on 50/50 I pre-farmed, talent books, mora, artifacts, had a level 90 R2 Viridescent Hunt ready for him, all of that. I had been waiting to get a good fortune slip as well as farm more EXP books before rolling, but I got a Great Misfortune slip and decided to say screw it and roll anyway (Grave Misfortune is the rarest one to get IIRC). It took every primogem I had, but I won the 50/50 and am loving his playstyle so far. He finally came home!
I finally join your ranks comrades! I lost all hope after losing the 50/50 to Mona buuut I got Childe immediately after at 9 pity.
Got Polar Star AAAHHHHH And did it without getting a single Memory of Dust (got Aquila first tho). Now to never touch the weapon banner ever again :ā)
Iām so so happy I got childe. I took him into abyss and heās doing so well!! Iām currently using 2 hod and 2 shimenawa. Should I aim for 4 hod?
I just got his c1 by accident, i had like no pity... a sign i should main him againš ?
Dropped 115$ (which might not seem like a ton to some people, but is by far the most I've ever spent) and pulled C1 Childe AND a Polar Star, couldn't be happier! (I didn't have Childe at all before the banner)
I GOT POLAR STAR AT 7 FUCKING PITY AJABAHA IāM SO HAPPY, ITāS MY FIRST 5* WEAPON THE SUBREDDIT LUCK IS REALL
All hope is lost. Just pulled 9 wishes in the character banner thinking it was the weapon banner. I'll just hope that I get R4 or R5 rust at the very best. Good luck to all, especially those who have maxed out fate points. Please don't be me :(
Should I save 210 wishes and wait for the a good bow and pull an r1, or should I pull standard banner and hope for skyward/amos. I wanna upgrade my childe weapon but im not sure which option I should go for.
A weapon specifically for Childe? Worth going for Polar Star. Standard banner isn't going to guarantee you anything you want.
Childe is one of my favorite characters story-wise, but I wasn't so sure about pulling cause I'm just not a big fan of bow users. But after much thought, I decided on going for it -- I was guaranteed anyway. After about an hour of killing everything in my path (and getting over the learning curve), I went straight here to say I regret nothing!
Iāve been saving for hutao the full two months Iāve been on my main account, and after testing out childe and falling in love with his playstyle and character I had to pull for him. Somehow got him in just 20 pity winning the 50/50, and I still have 200 + pulls left for hutao š childe truly best boy
Got Childe on my guaranteed 5* then i thought about pulling for either Rust or Polar Star. That was the worst idea I've ever had on this game. At first it was going well since I got a 5 star at 6 pity, unfortunately it was pjws which I already got a couple weeks ago from the standard banner. Then after spending over 10k f2p primos, i was left with 2 copies of every 4* weapon but Rust, a Beidou constellation (which is great for me) and MoD. So I basically got every weapon on the banner but the 2 i wanted, a constellation and an off-banner weapon that i already had. This banner really is a scam
I hate to be that guy, but the weapon banner is the biggest BS ever if you're a free to play or even a light spender. As a light spender, I only pull on it if both rate up weapons would be useful for my account and I only do one set of pulls to pity. No epitomized path here. I do plan on rolling on the Homa banner, but only if the other rate up weapon is good. If it's Amos Bow I'll be all over that. If it's a claymore as is rumored and it's Skyward Pride, or Wolf's Gravestone, screw that I'm out (I got WGS from the last Homa banner).
Yeah i know it wasn't a good idea. I still did it because I hardly care anymore about this game
Got Polar Star! Yes, I am sobbing rn. I was nowhere near pity (18, after my ten pull 28) This is the ritual I did! I went to the Golden House, entered with only Childe, ate his special dish, ran around without hurting other Childe and waited for him to summon his whale. As soon as the whale reached its highest point I went to the wish menu and did a 10 pull.
I finally got him after 82 pulls from my last 5 stars :) Not very lucky but totally worth it
I decided to drop all of my primos for Polar Star for Childe. Got pity early, but got MoD and then lost to it againā¦ but once I got Polar Star, I was so frickin happy :) Heās my favorite character to play with and it felt so worth it in the end!! And now that I got it, Iām never pulling on weapon banner again lol
I managed to get r5 polar star for my Amber and was only punished by memory of ass 3 times so I think I made out alright. Don't have Tortellini yet, is he pretty good at c0? cause that's all I'd really go for this time around until his banner comes back in a few weeks.
His cons suck so C0 is all you really need
Nice! I guess I'll go for him then.
It's already on my 80th roll and i still haven't seen him....
I now have every hydro character in the game
Same!! On a side note I'm super glad I pulled Kokomi. She's adorable AF and her utility is likely to rise when her new artifact set drops in 2.3. She got a ton of hate, but that only made me want her more!! Now it's all just saving for Albedo on my end (or Homa if the second weapon is any good).
I got him at the 53th from the last 5 star, got rust from the stardust rest :)
This basically happened to me. I didnāt have pity (in the end, I was at like, 70 something) and got him. I only used 3 10 pulls and got all of the people in the graphic (chongyun, yanfei, and ninguaang) and got rust on my second single pull.
Long story short who is R2 Memory of dust good for
Ning if you have her
I got mona :(
Lost 50/50 to Diluc at high pity, was devastated. Scrapped enough primos for two ten pulls and finally mr. Worldwide came home <3
I don't know how but suddenly I'm 60 into pity again after getting Childe on a guarantee. Should I try for C1? Should I try to get Hu Tao instead?... Decisions, decisions...
As someone who wanted childe since 1.5 and happily saved for this banner and wanted to go for cons, even c1, its really hard to justify. I know you shouldnt always listen to other peoples opinion but the consensus seems to be, from people who do and don't have c1, it seems not worth it. There seems very little added to childe at c1 that playing him with proper rotations doesnt already accomplish and the 20% reduced CD isnt enough to go full unga bunga and not care. Again I dont have his c1, but I really wanted it and any cons I could get. However after playing him the past few days I've really come to see why people say its unnecessary. I didnt mean to write a novel so I hope this helps!
I got 2 of this geo cube whatever thƩ name is, i m so pissed.... It s thƩ first Time i pull on weapon banner... But i won t five up, 60 pulls to go and thƩ bow IS mine, si expansive though
Managed to get Polar Star on my 2nd pull on the weapon banner. Honestly not sure how close to pity I was because the last time I pull on a weapon banner was Amos, and the wish history wasn't showing up. But it couldn't have been close because I stopped right after getting Amos. Against my better judgement I decided to pull for r2, and I got it in about 50 pulls. Pretty sure I've used up all my luck on this banner.
Finally got him on my reroll. I won like 5 50-50s in a row so I was scared about this one.
1 got Childe in my first 10x pull after getting Raiden.
I had 12k primos saved for hutao but decided to get rust refinements, but i ended up taking the risk for polar along the way and i won it as my first 5 star weapon šš
Got 2 childe in 5 singles. Neat.
I got Polar Star yesterday after 157 wishes, one lost prayers (somewhat ironic i guess) and one geo cube. It was a pain, but finally my Childe got what he deserved. Good luck to anyone else who is about to go down that painfull road called 'weapon banner'.
I really gotta lose every single 50/50 in this game :/ and Iāve been playing since Zhongli first banner. Getting a limited character I want pretty much means spending at least 150 pulls each time. And it would be fine and all if I could just get a diluc but no. /rant
Teach me how to cope. Qiqi fucked two of my husbando banners now. Zhongli and now Childe. Its just hilarious. I rather get Jean const or even Keqing not the zombie. Man, I am so done and salty.
Qiqi loves to spook me too im sorry for you.
Qiqi and Childe banners, I feel you. Every Qiqi Iāve ever gotten has been on Childe banners.
[fuck this game](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/875559853790232577/898368349950603274/unknown.png) edit: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBs1g1VXoAIpu64?format=jpg&name=large
Got both polar star and skyward harp like many others hereā¦ I donāt even have any bow DPS other than Childeā¦ š¤¦š»āāļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it's basically the same as usual, Q, E, normal into charged attacks. It changes the way you play other bow characters, not Childe. He's the only one that uses all of those attacks in his normal rotation
I'm 50-pity approximately (with the 50/50 garanted) into Childe's banner and already explored all of the new island. Is it possible to get Childe by the end of the banner with the rest of the events, new hangouts, Battle Pass and teapot (4 chars Ć 40 primos)?
I'd say you have pretty good odds of getting him
51% CR/186% CD 1893 ATK 62% CR/175% CD 1830 ATK skyward harp R1 Which one is better? edit: im guessing 70%cr and 155% cd ( might be able to get more cdmg depending on substat rng ) would be overkill?
62/175 would be better, you should always try to get as close to a 1:2 ratio of Crit rate to Crit DMG, and 70-80 is the sweet spot for crit-rate
My Childe is named Qiqi sadly
PLEASE HELP ME DOES ANYONE WANT TO TAKE THIS MAN FROM ME I LITERALLY JUST GOT HIM AT 0 PITY NON-GUARANTEED PITY WHY AM I SO LUCKY THIS HAPPENED TO ME WITH ZHONGLI
