What did you spend your primos on? Post your results here!

[Rikifive 23,533]

Forgive me Furina, for I have sinned.

I was sitting at 71 pity (guaranteed) on the character banner, so basically I could pick a character of my choice. While I wanted Neuvillette, I also wanted to wait and save for Furina, so I decided to gamble on weapon banner to see what the fate says. 

I pulled for weapons and after failing and getting Staff of Homa at 24 pity, I pulled like 40 more times to see if I can get the book, but I didn't get anything, so it was time to pass. ...buuut today, in this last day, I couldn't resist, and decided to pull until next 5* and thankfully I got Tome of the Eternal Flow at 67 pity.

So with that, I decided to yoink Neuvillette as well.

Now I'm broke. No primos, no pity. 

But there's still plenty of time to save for Furina, no matter what happens, no more pulling until she arrives.

@Rikifive I had a perfect YouTube browsing moment today to describe the situation :3

Spoiler

You said you're broke now, so it's gonna be one heck of a miracle if you pull her after this

That surely sums it all up! 

Yeah, but there's lots of exploration left for me, including the entire second part of desert. Lots of primos. Furina will be the motivation to get to everything I've been procrastinating with.

I'm sure I'll have enough for one 5*, but if I won't win 50/50 (which would be 4th in a row IIRC), I'm not sure how it will go...

[Light Blade 8,669]

@Rikifive Better start soon, then. Make sure to use interactive map so that you don't miss anything  

P.S: Hope His Honor was worth it 

[Rikifive 23,533]

@Light Blade Yeah, I should, that will be a long way.  I'm using it all the time now, won't open a single chest without having that map opened. 

He's fun to play, I think it will be worth it.

[Light Blade 8,669]

@Rikifive Statistics say he's killin' it 

[Rikifive 23,533]

@Light Blade They do, he might even be the best DPS. 👀

I made an another trial with Cloud Retainer and noticed, that her healing over time heals ALL characters, which is quite nice. I was thinking she'll be a great choice for Furina. Not only swirling hydro for RES shred, but poggers constant healing. ...and perhaps it'll be a good opportunity to ressurect Xiao, who I never really used lol.
I ended up pulling for her and...

• At 80 pity I lost 50/50 for the 5th time (!!) to Dehya (C1)
• At 77 pity I got that guaranteed illuminated bird

Then I decided to throw some more at Nahida and

• At 11 pity I finally got out of that horrible streak and got Nahida (C3)

That Nahida pull saved the day, but losing 50/50 5 times in a row still hurts. I had high pity on weapons, so made few pulls and...

• At 69 pity I got Wolf's Gravestone.

 

And that's where over 20000 primos went... Results depressing as ever lately, but at least there's that little green bean. 💚

 

[Rikifive 23,533]

Yay me I won 50/50 and got C1 for Neuvillette 

Now I have everything I wanted from this banner, so back to saving~

I got the gaslighting, gatekeepeing girlboss tomboy from Khaenri'ah. Her style is not as comfortable as that of Hu Tao since the little gremlin comes online far more swiftly, but Arle is better at conserving momentum because her pyro infusion doesn't go away on its own unless you heal her. Due to her nature as an on-field attacker, a shield is nearly mandatory.

I recently pulled a foil ancient tomb.....oh wrong pull

Yeah, she has pros and cons when compared to Hu Tao, but seems to be fun to play overall. I have Hu Tao with Staff of Homa, so I'm a bit unsure whether to pull for Arle or not.

I did make like 40 or 50 pulls and stopped at 75 pity. Not sure if I should try getting her, given I'm about to face 50/50. Also, the weapon banner sucks. I already was unlucky enough to get that bow in earlier banners, and I have no plans whatsoever to pull for Lyney.

[Rikifive 23,533]

Well I threw another ten pull and got Keqing at 78 pity.

This game never fails to disappoint lmao.

I wonder if my luck will be as horrible in Wuthering Waves

At least it wasn't 90.

 

Hu is likely enough as far as Abyss is concerned, especially with signature. I haven't crowned Arle's auto yet but I can't see her becoming significantly better pyro dps than Hu. Unless you're a fan of the character, you haven't lost much.

[Goat-kun 2,508]

Welp, my Khaenrian tomboy is C1 after 43 pulls without any streamer's luck. It happens sometimes.

I'm not too big of a fan of her, but I liked her gameplay, far more than Hu's.

I indeed haven't lost much, I've no problems with the Abyss with what I have, but I did hope for a bit of refreshing gameplay in this otherwise rather dead game heh.

Well, Arle has problems fighting a small number of big enemies since her damage falls off so darn fast, and she lacks supports that would synergize with her gameplay. Hu doesn't have such damage fall off.

 

Anyhow, given that, after C1 Arle, I've now gotten Wanderer and Clorinde with only a single Welkin to my name, Hoyo must be really shitting bricks, or I have Kazuma-grade luck.

 

Genshin getting better only because of competition does kinda feel like a kick in the nuts. We'll see where it goes. WuWa has better combat, but Genshin has a more interesting meta with the elements. My luck has been so-so so far. Got two instances of some shota lion dancer. Fetched some nature loli cause healer. Defeated some guy who turned into a goat. Great to see some representation

Arle has her problems, that's true. Her gameplay looks fun, and I think her infusion is a bit easier to manage as far as open world goes, but yeah, the dropping DPS might be harder to manage in more demanding content. To be fair, I doubt I'd take her to the abyss, I already have two teams I'm satisfied with. I just wanted her for the fun, so indeed not a big loss I guess. 

Man, I hope I'll get that lucky when I start pulling. I've been saving since Arle, and now I really hope for Sigewinne to be good/fun, because she'll be paired with Furina. I have a guaranteed character and promo weapon (got standard one last time), so if I'd decide to pull for budget melusine, the first weapon pull would be a win-win, as my Furina lacks her weapon. 

True, but it's good there's some competition now for this reason. I do like WuWa combat more too, and I like how all normal attacks are elemental too (vs elemental kits and laughable physical attacks in Genshin - I never understood this awful design and it sucks on coop the most). Unfortunately yeah, lack of elemental reactions and pretty much any synergies between characters is rather bland. Even buffing characters like Verina are hardly worth pulling on field, because it requires too much time to trigger relevant outros, and from my experience in the WuWa abyss, trying to use these buffs actually performs worse, than just spamming with a single DPS character. Trying to use all three characters was the worst, using DPS and Verina was better, but I still couldn't make it in time, I tried just DPS all the way, I did it.

Also because there are no elemental reactions, there's no point in off-field DPS characters. Instant, single instance of big aoe damage seems to be better than being required to do certain things to proc coordinated attacks for little damage (thus, for example, I don't get the point of Mortefi, preferred Chixia all the way).

My luck in WuWa is nothing spectacular so far, but is better than in Genshin I guess. Beginner banners didn't go well at all, hit hard pity and got the lion boy I'm not a fan of (kinda clunky gameplay imo) at 50. In the limited char banner, I lost first 50/50 and got Verina at second pull, so that's nice, then had Jiyan at 56 and Yinlin at 49. 70 pulls on Jiyan weapon tho...

I kinda like how you can farm artifacts in open world, which encourages randomly killing mobs, compared to Genshin, where there's no point in fighting anyone outside domains. But man, elemental damage bonus main stat not matching the element of the set bonus is so wonky. Would be alright if it was 4-piece + off-piece, but here you need all 5 from the set. There's really no point in this, so that's even worse than a def stat lol.
