Unwritten Rules of Genshin Impact 

The real ones roll for Yoimiya anyway.

Mihoyo’s side missions: - gatekeep geo characters. - sabotage any Yoimiya bannners.

If you’re farming for a character’s final ascension, at some point you’ll reach 17/20 boss drops. The next time you fight the boss, you will get 2 boss drops. Then, the time after that, you get 3 boss drops.

The one unwritten rule i know is that when dendro is introduced, all new characters must revolve around their reactions.

For the Itto one, I honestly think it’s because the CN and EN vas do an absolutely fantastic job at bringing Itto to life. Like have you heard the CN va’s laugh? It’s infectious. And we all know Max, the EN va, will beatbox and adlib at random. We all remember that Thoma intro dialogue from Irodori Festival.

bro itto's presence in any event automatically makes the atmosphere 100x better. you can make an event deep, but also funny by including him.

Me: "Plz buff Amber." Hoyo: "Happy Birthday Amber, meet Yoimiya."

The gacha has a desire sensor too. If you try and snipe a 4-star, you will get an early 5-star, but if you're going for the 5-star, you will lose the 50/50 at pity and then have to go to pity again to get them at all. If you have one of the 4-stars at C6 already, 80% of the 4-stars you get will be copies of them. Etc.

At this rate, we can expect Yoimiya to have a rerun before a new region and/or an archon. As for Hu Tao, she did first appear (outside her story quest) in the 2nd Lantern Rite and it seems now for the 3rd Lantern Rite too. When she first debut, it seemed Hoyo wants to distance her association with death away from Lantern Rite (as she's released after the first one) but now she keeps coming back to it.

Don’t forget that wanderer’s drip marketing came out a few days before Yoi’s second rerun, I’ve wanted Yoimiya since her release but have never gotten a chance to get her bcus of the banners

Itto making every event better is so true. I'm hyped for the event next patch BECAUSE it's with Itto. He's just such a cool dude. They did buff shatter actually. It's now influenced by elemental mastery. So that's something. I am still waiting on my Crystalise geo character who gets more damage from EM. That'd be great.

Elergy for the End on Yelan to support Hu Tao is the best choice I've ever made, only got Elegy because of losing the 50/50 on Homa the first time.

That desire sensor is so DAMN relatable. The moment "I want X to happen" comes to your mind, that X will not happen. Artifact farming and substat rolling are the most common but the least painful, at least in my case. Worst one, personally, was Nahida's weapon. RNJesus bestowed me two T. Pulses. Of course this is just me finding something to blame on for that disastrous choice, knowing I don't even have Yoimiya at that time. I reluctantly pulled for Tartaglia after that for damage control.

So true about Itto being the Events Archon!

If I were to add one, I would say, Raiden surpasses her own banner sales for every run of hers lol. High banner sales on her debut, surpassed that debut banner with her first rerun, and now, atleast at this time, shes about to surpass her first rerun banner (as well as Nahida) and she still has around 7 days left

My theory for Yoimiya’s failure also cause she’s always surrounded by the most premium and flexible element on the game, Hydro, with only Barbara and Xingqiu to work with prior to Sumeru having a limited hydro 5 star like Kokomi,Ayato or Nilou would be better for your account than having a dps on an element that has no shortage of it, Pyro is a very accessible element with solid 4 star dps with a stacked 4 star roster, I didn’t have a 5* limited Hydro until until Ayato and it was so worth it, Hydro is pretty much a priority over a redundant archetype on an element that’s role is restricted to one thing Anyways, I’m happy with my Yoimiya but she’s someone i can live without

when yoimiya’s burst first got leaked, i knew i had to get her. i managed to pull her on her first banner and i don’t regret her. her gameplay is actually really good too so i feel for the people who had to skip her over and over again :/ edit: guys, i’ve been a yoimiya main since release. i know her burst is the worst in her kit. i’m just saying her burst looked really pretty when i first saw it and that’s what made me pull for her. also it’s kinda cracked in single target burgeon if you’re bored and wanna try something new :’)

Itto makes events so much more full of life, I’m so happy that I have him

if you’re in co-op and someone else allows you to take their stuff, you must show gratitude

I can relate on the Desire Sensor part because I got unwanted Cyno at 5 pity and Albedo at 17 pity (without guaranteed) while I was aiming for other characters and then lost 50/50 on Nahida and Wanderer. Farming for artifacts in this game is seriously vexing since it is always RNG on top of other RNG. Just when you think you have a god tier artifact, it will roll into flat stats and ruin itself just for the lulz. I agree on the Clam set always rolls into Crit when all I ask for is only HP. On other case, ATK set rolls into DEF and vice versa. Oh God, I hate artifacts farming in this game.

even a year later, i never regretted rolling for her on the first banner, always best girl in my eyes

Yoimiya was always that trial character that wowed me in events so I got her , her weapon and a c6 Yun Jin and c6 Bennett for her.

For the Keqing banner question, I know of the OPPOSITE experience. My sister's favorite character is Keqing, and she wanted Hu Tao more so she skipped Keqing and did get Hu Tao! Only issue was she didn't get Keqing until 2.7 (for those unaware, the Keqing banner was 1.3, so that's around 14 months) As for me I skipped Tighnari to get Cyno, which I don't regret per say but gosh dang I wish I had Tighnari! Mihoyoverse just needs to make getting standard 5 stars simpler (and the starter 4 stars, too. RIP anyone who wants c6 of them)

I think Itto has just become the resident event planner at this point

If I had a nickel for each time Yoimiya shared a version with Kazuha I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

And then there's me who actually got Yoimiya accidentally on her first banner (bc I wanted Sayu). At first I was disappointed but I quickly fell in love with her personality and gameplay... she's been my main since and is by far my favorite character ❤

As an Itto main I love that he constantly shows up in events. Feels good man.

0:38 This is similar to using glitter to get characters from the shop, instead of having it go to pity etc. It's tricky cause for some people who REALLY wanna ensure characters like Bennett, Sucrose and Xinqiu, Kaeya, Lisa and Amber, whoever, at that point it's worth paying in some starglitter-efficiency as long as you don't go overboard. The 4* gacha pulls grow more saturated each day, so the shop can be clutch. Also, here's a secret tip for artifact farming: Genshin has what's known as a desire-sensor, and stats are more important than sets most the time. So, what do you do? You wish for Kokomi and just farm her set, you'll get 50cv + unrolled atk%/EM/ER for all your other characters instantly. If it's not working, you'll probably just need to roll for her weapon too, but luckily that's the best in slot for any claymore user anyway. And just because I'd feel really bad if someone didn't realize, the last half of my comment was a joke

The crit pieces on clam and maidens artifacts i got are insane

I rolled on Keqing banner and never regretted it. One of my good friends did too, and has never pulled another Keqing despite literally maining her. No regrets.

Feel bad for the treatment to Yoimiya. I don't have her and not planning to get her since I'm not really into Pyro but yeah I still sympathize. I may be biased since I love Itto and his my main but yeah every event he's in makes them even better and have fun vibe. Speaking of Itto and you mentioned artifacts, I swear I can so much relate like I've farmed Husk set not only for Itto but 2 more for Yun Jin and Albedo and I got tons of good stats but all went to Clam pcs instead and to rub it off the wound I don't even have Kokomi or anyone to use them and as of now I still don't have any single Husk crit circlet for more than half a year of farming. And then there's the fkng DPC/FoPL all the EM pcs goes to DPC and all anemo goblet and Atk sands goes to FoPL ugh I'm so done with artifact farming.

Now in the 3.7 update poor Yoimiya have banner with Yae Miko and having Kazuha & Alhaitham in the phase 2...

Ayaka and Xiangling are Hoyo's favorite children.

your channel is SOO underrated. All of your videos are so fun and have such nice editing. YOU deserve to be up there with ZyOx, Tectone, xlice and the rest. You're above them all in my heart, though.

The Yoimiya Principle as I call it (All Yoimiya rerun banners must compete with short characters) makes perfect sense. She likes kids and both her reruns have had to compete with kid sized characters (Klee and Nahida). Heck her first Banner had a shorty in it (Sayu). So glad I got her the first time around

* Every character in a new region will require the same two materials. (Handguards and specters, mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms...) * Any time you want to do a new quest, you'll be locked out of it by some minor character being tied up in a long, tedious quest you have no interest in finishing first. (I had FOUR characters blocking me from finishing the Sumeru archon quest.) * The best events seem to happen at the same time new permanent content is dropped. Maybe that's not a problem, per se, but after burning through all the content in the game back during Dragonspine, I've conditioned myself to not play Genshin for long hours per day...which is probably why I have so many unfinished quests. * The dendroculus you're looking for will always be below ground. * Spiral Abyss will always transition away from whatever time-sucking boss you hate most to something that is somehow even worse. (Maguu Kenki to PMA to Ruin Snake to Golden Wolflord...and let's throw some cubes in for good measure.) * Spiral Abyss will also always feature the bosses you've never had any reason to fight in the overworld. (I'm up to like 7 bosses now that I first encountered in Spiral Abyss.) * If you reset once in Spiral Abyss, you will always need to reset a second time because you started immediately and Xingqiu's E is still on cooldown. * Enemies will never attack you when Beidou is trying to counterattack. (I assume this holds for Yun Jin and Candace as well.) * Rosaria will always get her chest nerfed.

I'am someone who rolled on keqings banner, and i have not regretted it once and still use her to this day

For me, it was the opposite for Yoimiya. I got her on her first banner, skipped Raiden for Kokomi, and with the Thundering Pulse and A Thousand Floating Dreams banner I now have both her and her weapon alongside Nahida's Weapon.

Yoimiya’s first rerun 2.8 had actually quite high sales revenue numbers. She even surpassed Itto’s first and second rerun sales, not even Tighnari had this high sales revenue. Which is very impressive. And about Yoimiya being “sandwiched “.... Yelan, who just came one patch before Kazuha had the second highest sales after Raiden. People knew Kazuha would come for real this time ans still dumped their primos and money on her. And Yae Miko had kinda average sales despite her being hyped up for so long. On Yoimiyas release no one could have predicted that people would had chosen Ayaka over her. People will choose the characters they love more despite the placements in banners. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Unwritten rule #6 Tall cryo women doesn't gets rerun for at least 1 year

I got Yoimiya in 2.8 by accident. I'm a f2p person that was just pulling on her banner for fun and won a 50/50 by mistake. She's my strongest character and I love her so much

I pulled Yoimiya on nahida banner and I don’t regret it she’s great And I got lucky with yae as well which was great

I was someone who wasn't interested in Yoimiya at the beginning. I was actually rolling on her banner to get Sayu at the time because I wanted an Anemo healer. (she obviously didn't come home but Yoimiya did). I didn't level her for the longest time until I told my friend to randomly pick a non Electro unit to level since I mained Razor and he was my best geared character with Kazuha being my 2nd best. He chose Yoimiya and I've slowly built her up with an R2 Rust for the longest time. I really, really want more cons for Yoimiya, but like stated, Hoyoverse just dooms her to be placed between more desirable banners. I saved for half a year to get c3 Kazuha, and then was saving for Cyno since then. Then again Nahida was a pull because I wanted a dendro for Cyno. While i couldn't pull for her directly I did end up getting lucky and pulled her bow. I love Yoimiya, and I do plan to get her constellations eventually. I chose her as my pyro unit and I'm gonna stick with her.

At least Yoimyia is getting banners. My girl Eula on the other hand has been completely forgotten by Mihoyo for over a year now, Yoimyia got 2 reruns since the last time we heard anything about Eula x)

To be honest, I don’t regret getting yoimiya during the golden apple archipelago cause not only was the next 5 star dendro character tighnari (who I got anyway) but also yoimiya is one of my favorite characters, so I don’t regret it. Basically roll who you want (even if you only want them cause of meta), if you want that character roll for them. The longer you wait, the harder it is going to get them (unless they’re a standard banner character). For me, the next character I’m getting is yelan who I’m garenteed for thanks to tighnari. :))

I may be crazy but I went for yoimiya rerun when nahida got released cause I was returning to the game after months and was unfamiliar to nahida but knew yoimiya however lost the 50 50 to keqing 😢

Now she is overshadowed by Kaz whom has a rerun banner very soon...if I did not already have so many main DPS characters she would be an enticing pull. She deserves so much more...

0:48 I am one of those who started playing this game when Keqing banner came and i actually rolled on it And I can proudly say that I dont regret now that she is my first 5 star I also have Yoimiya since ruined my pity for Raiden also dont regret now

I accidentally got Yoimiya on my alt account during patch 2.8. I was shocked because I literally got klee (also accidentally) the previous banner. But I don't regret it because she's now my main on that account🧡

I'm actually pretty happy I got Yoimiya on her first banner 😄 I adored her personality and I love her kit. It's a lot of fun!

wavebreaker fin's "not that exciting?" it's just the best non-5 star polearm in the game. it's so good that the fact i have it at R4 made me not even want homa much at all anymore. it's like the best consolation prize ever for shooting so many wishes into the redhorn banner. much happier about r4 fin than the stupid r3 wanderer's bell i got alongside with my 3 final redhorns (yep, i have an r5 redhorn and another one at r0. what did it cost me? a whole year worth of wishes. do i regret it? lol no.)

How has everyone’s day been going?

yoimiya's banner luck is getting worse by the version 😅😅

I was so glad to get Kazuha on his original banner because I could just save and get Yoimiya at last on her first rerun. A bit sad I couldn't go for Heizou or Kazuha cons but there'll be more chances. It gave me a lot of peace of mind during the Nahida banner to finally have her. But god, it's so damn awful how they're doing her so dirty. Another thing that's a bit of a meme is how the DPS male characters seem to be also Hoyo's random filler banners for reruns. It used to be Childe the one who got memed earlier on, but now Xiao and Itto seem to be getting the end of that stick. How Xiao got degraded to that position when it took him a literal year to rerun the first time, while the exact opposite happened to Childe, is one hell of an arc

Can't wait to see who going rerun along side hydro archon

I'm ready for the yoimiya rerun along with hydro archon

Yeah I can totally relate being a Yoimiya wanter on her getting shafted….cuz her banners are poorly timed. Like it’s either with a character I want or I am saving up for someone else when she shows up. Also the pain of getting more crit stats on the Ocean hued clam set when I want HP is too real.

Love your vids

She was my first fivestar on the event banner on her first banner that she was released on, she’s one of my main dps and I love herrrr

You know, I like how you talk, so im subbing.

I’m literally gunning for the 2 phase weapons banner

i rolled for yoimiya when she first apeared and i absolutely do not regret that and i'm a proud yoimiya main since then

I feel that artifact one. I got Itto instead of Wanderer, and then I get a PERFECT Anemo DMG Goblet, on the Husk Set.

Your time scale is all over the place, i thought i was having a stroke when you said 'brand new region inazuma'

Got Yoimiya first time around. Never got around to really building her up, but I do use her fairly regularly.

To answer the Keqing question I absolutely DID NOT regret it ☺️☺️☺️ I loved Keqing to death at the time and I got up to 80 pity on her banner and even though i was disappointed she didn’t come home I got Venti the moment I woke up so I have her to thank for that

I actually like the meme that Yoimiya is a reborn amber for some reason lol

It's me, I'm the person too busy saving for other units that when Yoimiya comes around I can't get her or I risk losing all my savings... like why does she have to be so fun to play and yet always come at the wrong time.

I got Yoi on her banner before the Sumeru one and ended up getting her weapon on the sumeru one together with Nahida. At the time i got her i was Ar 43 and hadn't built a single character nor had played a single domain for artifacts or anything really. She was the first character i had the courage to build and she's been my carry ever since

I got my first Keqing from her banner on like the 2nd pull, ever since then i've only lost 50/50s to her twice

Love ur videos

My friend skipped Ayaka for Yomimiya originally and then skipped both Kazuha & Nahida to get Yoimiya cons & weapon respectively.

0:47 definitely regret pulling keqing on her banner, was quite a new player back then and pulled her just for the sake of wishing. Fast forward today i have c4 keqing and have lost many 5050s on the characters i really wanted.

Same with Blizzard Strayer for me! I only started getting somewhat decent stuff when I finished building my melt Ganyu with Shimenawas when blizzard strayer failed....

I accidentally pulled Yoimiya and was initially a little salty but she’s honestly a beast if you build her right. I adore her and I use her so much. No regrets (anymore).

And I pulled for Yoimiya in all of them (got c0 first time, still on c0, planning on c6 her)

@the Keqing thing, yes. I pulled the banner because every rate up was a desired one, but now, I have her basically at C8. If I had been more patient, I would've had her at C6, because I got 2 constellations from her rate-up. Yet I still don't have Tighnari, and only have C0 for Mona and Jean after being a spending release player, so that's fun.

Honestly, I've been lucky during 2.8 Yoi rerun. I've got enough primos saved to get both kazuha, and her 50/50. And so far, I've never regretted pulling for her despite skipping initial dendro hype.

As someone who just recently hit Inazuma and just finished Yoimiya's quest, I really hope she comes back soon because, regardless of who she's running alongside, I will gladly whale for her. Her toolkit fits my playstyle perfectly.

That Keqing banner sales also account for Homa sale too.

As someone who saved up since release week and first pulled on the keqing banner, I regret nothing. I got her mistsplitter and opulent splendor (the outfit) too. Ever since then only got her one more time so she's C1.

well since you asked. I did roll on keqing banner and got her then and I have since only gotten her once. And that was pretty recent so nope I don't regret it at all!

Thankfully I pulled Yoimiya when I didn't know what was good and now she's one of my best characters

Now in 3.7 she get rerun aside Yae Miko, Alhaitham and Kazuha hahaha

When i started the game, got Yoimiya in her first banner at 20 pity. And i was basicly looking at her while my game was downloading so i kinda fell in love with her.

I got a Cryo dmg Cup on the Blizzard Strayer set with Crit dmg as a sub stat! So of course i +20 it and it rolled ONLY into flat Hp and Energy recharge... i never felt so dead inside...😑

After more than a year of farming blizzard strayer .. I finally got an attack time piece with a crit damage substat with the 4 stat being crit rate .. my ayaka now has an attack piece with 1000+ flat HP :)

I wanted to pull for Albedo but didn't have enough primos for him. The fact I don't have to farm the husk/clam domain makes me feel a little better though 😅

I have Yoimiya, having obtained her on her rerun banner alongside Nahida - this was the first time she's been available since I started using the wish mechanic (I went through Mondstat first, on the presumption that anybody the game goes to the trouble of giving me is worth becoming used to and I'd rather meet new characters through the story anyway). I cannot say that I've ever spent money to get a character, since I've done the math and realize my income sucks far too much to make this a sensible investment compared to things like food and rent. I do buy welkins, and will pull for any character I don't have when I can. In other words, I do have Yoimiya but I haven't contributed to the banner sales of any character, and I'm not ashamed of this.

I skipped Yoimiya in the first banner, then I spent all of my primos and GCs on Kazuha 2nd run to get him until c2. After Yoimiya's 2nd run dropped, I used any leftover primos and actually got her, I was on my 3rd 50/50 in a row. I don't deserve her but she decided to come home anyway 😭💕

I rolled on kequing banner and got her, right before hu tao, and no I don't regret it

6:55 that hit home especially since i got a clam crit rate circulate with ER attack% defense% and 30% crit damage, i use it on Itto but still my husk pieces are ass

this sounds incredible!! have you considered a version without the intro or at least one without Gabe talking? i feel like that'd be nice for a lot of people.

I always wanted Yoimiya and never had the gems to pull for her due to the competition. Some day, I'll get her...!

I had never heard of the Itto rule, but it so true.

farming boss drops to ascend characters, you will always get 1 short of ascending the character and the very next run you get a 3 drop, happens to me every time

I think the desire sensor is more of a thing than people think. My best artifacts have been when I was muttering under my breath "not crit" and then I get an on set sands with the right main stat 45.1 cv starting on 3 lines.

As someone who rolled for Keqing on her banner, it's like 50% regret because I could've had hu tao a lot earlier & 50% satisfaction since she's one of my favorite units to use. I've gotten 2 constellations for her so far, but I'm still p happy that I got to use her a lot earlier

5:20 actually the first time aqua simulacra was on a banner it wasn't with redhorn claymore, it was alongside jade spear. I am the best placed to know because as a Xiao main it was my first time pulling on a weapon banner and I am now the sad owner of two bows and will never ever wish on a weapon banner ever again

Dont be like me who got burned out getting Ayaka has always regreted not powering through and getting Yomiya everytime she reruns next to an unskipable character it hurts even more. I pushed myself so hard on Kazhua and Nahidas banners to get both them and Yomiya and failed twice.
