Thanks again to Paimon's Bargains for sponsoring two of the topups for this video! Check them out here if you want to save some money on your pulls: discord.gg/paimonsbargains Here's a link to my stream testing stuff with Emilie: ru-vid.comBymBmfJqHSc Here's the stupid Kaveh summons: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-solXM4dS44A.html Also, feel free to ask me any questions you may have about Paimon's Bargains. I can try to answer them myself, or if its something more complicated I can probably ask the owner for you! (I will try to remember to check the replies here after posting this video, but keep in mind YT is bad at notifying about comment replies)
@@bikacaartproductions4163 They just use Codashop to fulfill the purchases, which is an official third party topup service. That's how they can do the topups with just your UID. I've used them many times without any issue, but feel free to msg others that have purchased from them about their experience. They have the #store-vouch section in the server for purchasers to show they got stuff, so you could reach out to them if you dont just want to take my word for it.
Makes me feel bad even more especially cuz I wanted to pull a bit but I'm saving pity for Kazu rerun in 5.0 so did 10 pulls and Got her weapon with no one to use on
i’m so hesitant to pull for weapon banner because there’s still a few characters i want to pull for (nahida + others, currently have 150 pulls saved) and i personally think characters>weapons… i do want to save for arlecchino’s weapon to make her stronger, i really enjoy playing her. though, i’d have to save a lot, around 240 pulls (which is crazy for me cuz i’m f2p) if i want to be really safe and ensure i get it
@@kimberly_36 yeah I don't roll on the weapon banner for this reason...unlike other gachas the sig weapons aren't mandatory and it's a lot of pulls that could go towards characters
@@kimberly_36don't pull on the weapon banner i'm fully f2p and never spent a single wish on that scam but i'm still able to clear the abyss and IT content with full stars so save your wishes for more characters
The claymore is pretty good for support Dehya. It's not like she cares about stats so you can go full EM and give the atk bonus to, say, Emilie and Ganyu in a Ganyu burnmelt team.
Sigewinne's buff doesn't actually need you to have exactly 1000 HP. It will still consider the decimals. The same rule applies to Nilou, Baizhu & Chevreuse.
i’ve been waiting for yelan since her release, playing on and off. started playing regularly every day in around may, and pulled for navia since i like her too, without knowing about yelan’s rerun 😕 im so sad
I agree! Did I derp and say something stupidly in the video like that lol? I always try to mention that you dont have to spend a dime to play Genshin, and the game can often be less stressful and more fun when money isnt on the line. I ultimately just make these videos because I can use them as an opportunity to make some silly entertaining content, and the money I make from the videos is usually more than I spend (with the help of Paimons Bargains sponsoring), so as a creator its just a method of being able to acquire units and make content about them for anyone. I certainly do not think people should be spending money like I do in this game--hence why I make fun of myself and say its stupid to do this.
@@kash1Mz No, but having enough after actually feeling like you earned it _is_ good. If you are using only that which you get ingame then when you obtain something you want you will A) feel like you earned it or B) feel actually, legitimately lucky (because it made a meaningful difference in the outcome, rather than if you would just buy your way there regardless). One of which will eventually happen - if not with one character then the next - and both are much, _much_ better than just “okay, I paid an outrageous amount to get something that will give me marginally more enjoyment playing the game I would be playing anyway”. (I mean, _nothing_ in any gacha game ever constitutes a sensible purchase when you compare it to, say, how many complete games with possibly 100+ hours of playtime you would be able to buy - at full price - for that amount: how many Elden Rings, Baldur’s Gates, Witchers, etc. you’d be able to get from the money used to buy a single character / weapon / whatever.)
@@taederias1804 While I get that you feel that way, I simply cant relate. I am more prisoner of FOMO than anything at this point. I log in for dailys and grind through gritted teeth. I need to force myself to finally do Fontaine before Natlan comes. I was simply hoping to get a few characters like Shenhe before that. Looking kinda bleak now.
I had the opposite experience with the weapon banner.. wanted Aqua and got Lumidouce 2 times instead.. This game really knows what you actually want...
We seem to have oppositely bad luck. I got the polearm when I wanted Aqua. Previously I got like C12 Kaveh when I just wanted C4 Kiwawa in exactly 150 pulls. I got C1 Kirara including the free one.
I mean I was very happy about the 50/50 wins I didnt complain about that. Weapon banner always feels bad unless you get lucky though lol. But yeah I am overall happy with the results, stressful as weapon banner on my main account was
content creators do it all the time, i still watch but it always makes me twitch a little when they are rly bad abt it and are like ' UGHH IM HAVING TO GO PAST 75 THIS IS SO BAD ' and i'm like ' soooo you're experiencing an average session '
got qiqi at 77(didn't have her yet so cool ig), emilie at 79 and aqua at 66, currently 16 pity on weapon banner so in total 238 pulls been saving since baizhu and i did spend a bit of money, bp and welkins, and at the very least i do have an welkin that will last until the end of her banner hate this game
8:20 I guess I technically can't say if sige specifically is like this, but every other passive phrased like "every #### , increase " in the game is continuous. Meaning you dont need to reach the 1,000 hp breakpoint
shenhe burnmelt does sound like fun shenanigans! also im glad im not the only one who has yae's skill lines stuck in my head whenever i say right here or right now
Yep, Paimons Bargains prices by Malaysian Ringits (that is where they are based), and its similarly priced about 20% lower than USD there as well. But if you have the ability to purchase with Yen its probably an easier option than Paimons Bargains!
knowing that 300$ worth of primogems is only like 180 pulls which pretty much 2 5-stars makes me wanna cry (maybe even just 1 5 star if you already got the top up bonus that resets every anniversary )
Honestly I think the more I see the community not caring about a character for whatever reason, the more reason I have to get them since I like trying to show how you can make the most out of them. But in Emilies case I just already liked doing stuff with burning so it was kinda a no brainer for me to get her anyways. If I had made the stupid Kaveh video I wouldn’t even have had to do this lol.
@@trickmonster7905 you make no sense they fully answered your concern, not everyone pulls for meta and as the person above said i think shes just getting skipped cuz, Natlan.
@@Takudayo i said "its weird seeing people whale for her" and the person asked "why is it weird" and the proceeds to say "she is getting skipped cuz its right before natlan" hmmmm someone kinda answered their own question and when did i mention Meta? I said that its weird seeing people whale as I personally rarely saw anyone actually hyped about emilie. I wasnt bashing anyone who was pulling i even acknowledged that many will pull.
I got baited by fathers weapon banner lost to 2 bows then her scythe it took me 182 wishes in total to get 1 father 2 bows and scythe and no more weapon banner pullings
I would like to see the process of buying a topup before trying it myself, I'm too scared to press any of the buttons and try it myself, it would be nice you could show some of it to us (Minus any private and confednetial details ofcourse)
Ah thats fair, I will see what I can do. In my case now I actually just directly ask the owner since I end up paying for part of the topups and then they sponsor part, but I should be able to get some footage showing it. I may update the pinned comment to link an unlisted video showing it, but the basic process is just using the order channel to create an order (in this video I showed that channel with the buttons to add different topups to your cart), and then a special private channel to process the order is made on the server. They ask for your UID of course, and they provide instructions on how to use Wise (they are a well known money transfer service, feel free to look them up) to send the payment, you provide the link for confirmation the payment was sent, then they need to actually process the order on their end. Them processing the order after you send payment is where there can be a wait sometimes (especially when there is a new banner and they have lots of orders to process). When I used them before they started sponsoring topups for my videos they took 2 days to process mine, hence why I dont recommend them if you wanted instant dopamine.
Spending money in gacha or gabliming is so bad....i never thought i would spend money in genshin and then someone i liked a LOT got released. I spent more than 400 (overtime since like 2022, welkins included) because of gambling in this game. Spending money just makes you feel too guilty to leave the game 😭 its the first gacha/ gambling situation ive been in and im going f2p to enjoy natlan
This banner was true pain for me... already had all the four stars c6...went to over 75 pulls both times losing a 50/50 to Kekwing (but hey c4 so...) and got the Bell and an Eye along the way...just brutal but how it goes sometimes, wouldn't have done it if I wasn't in ok-ish shape for Natlan
I’m pulling for her I’m at 60 pity right now I really hope I win the 50/50. I won’t be pulling for any of the natlan characters till iansan when ever she gets released I don’t mind what rarity she is either. 😊
duuuuuuuude. i'm so glad you uploaded this BECAUSE i also just got 2 aqua simulacras on weapon banner using all my saved primos from a few months now... it was new to me, but wtf am i gonna do with 2? i already have lyney's bow and i'm not gonna refine it or get yelan. I spent a tiny bit and got her polearm in the end... but i am just happy i'm not alone in weapon banner pain haha...
Its at least one of the better generic DPS bows lol, but yeah honestly before Sigewinne it has been unused for a while on my account... I think I used it for DPS Amber at least at some point tho
Sad I got my last constellation for Razor from the shop last month (or the month prior, can't remember, but he was stuck on C5 for a while), I pulled one from the last weapon banner (Navia's and Nilou's signatures) and one from Emilie's banner. I also only pulled one off-banner 5* from last weapon banner, that being Lost Prayer, but it's C2 for my Yanfei at least (already C6). For niche players like me, the 4* on this banner are great lol. At least my luck balanced out with getting Emilie at only 6 pity (winning 50/50)? Makes up for losing 50/50 on Chiori, she should get a rerun after anniversary so I can spend to get the first-time top-up bonuses there. That, or Shenhe or Yae Miko. I somehow always manage to either not have enough pulls or lose 50/50 on their banners... 🤔
Yeah thats part of why I make these videos. I try to encourage people not to do as I do by emphasizing you dont get a lot for the $ spent, even when you get lucky.
Honestly i just wanna brag bc i feel like it. I got 30 pulls, and got Yelan C1 in 20 pulls + Emilie’s weapon… I wanted aqua. I’m F2P and im never going to get enough pulls in time to 100% get her weapon 😭
Those estimations are usually on the assumption of wanting to use her burst. I plan to talk in my stream about a number of oddities about her burst that make its value contextual enough that its a bit silly to overemphasize it’s necessity imo. Shes going to be more than usable without the weapon, and doesnt need to be built with a ton of ER. Its a bit of an overtuned weapon, but calling it forced to pull imo necessitates you outline that Emilie is not a functional character without it. Just because characters get big damage increases from things doesnt mean they are necessary. Neuvilette is a plenty usable unit without his weapon, and his signature also does a similar damage increase for him.
I lost my 50/50 on Yelan banner. 2 pity, and after 2 years I finally got qiqi. I didn’t want yelan (I want xiangling cons, she’s c0) but now it’s safe to say I’m pulling for shark girl ( I forget her name)
I wish the 4 stars were better on her banner, I"ve been so excited for her and Yelan for my Arlecchino but if I'd lost the 50/50 on yelan I wouldn't be pulling for her rn. It's 100% cope but when they put chevy in all her marketing material and trailers I was really hopeful this would be THE banner for me. instead we got 2 characters that as a fairly new player I already have C6. I really like her Kit and think she's super fun to speculate about and hopefully test and I'm a bit bummed she's a skip for so many.
After getting aqua on wep banner I am left with 80 more pulls( way more than i imagined) but I don't want to go to pity just to get another dehya especially when the 4 stars are so bad. (Hopefully i can get her on her rerun)
If you are looking forward to some of the new characters it would probably be better to save! Because of Emilies potential synergy with Natlan units Im guessing her rerun may come sooner rather than later, at least
I spent $100 on yelan since I still had the top up bonus, I won the 50/50 but got 0 xiangling(I still don’t have c4), 5 razor, and 2 yanfei 😢 Oh yea I also want to know what you think of using Emilie as a nahida replacement on nilou bloom for the dendro off field(I have nilou c1)
I saved for like three patches and had super close weapon pity, 105 pulls got me a diluc, an Emilie and barely enough to get an aqua simulacra 😭😭😭 Guess my calamity queller is gonna belong to Emilie now, shenhe better like fav
I feel like I had a ridiculously easy time compared to you. Near pity, sure, but I won my 50/50 and didn’t care for the weapon banner, just dumping that old event pole arm that buffs EM and attack. 3 rolls into a ten roll, too, so now I have 7 pity and I can safely skip next patches banners.
i wish i had 300$ to spend to guarantee characters in this game, I love 5 stars but I'm SO unlucky 😭😭 I have yet to get a 5 star on two ftp AR 40 accounts because on both of them my 90th pull was a 5 star weapon 💔💔
Pulled on yelan and got xianglings when i already have her a c6 (AND ONLY HER FOR MY FOUR STAR PULLS had done 30 pulls to reach hard pity) AND LOST PITTY TO MONA...
Weapon Banners are still the worst. Even on the last Weapon Banner with Navia & Nilou, where both 5* weapons and at least one 4* weapon would've been GREAT value for me, I refused to pull. I really hope they finally change the Wpn Banner one of these days.
Emilie as another off field dps for Xiao actually should make playing him a bit stronger too! I wont necessarily be using her weapon on him, but ty for the idea lol
24:10 I disagree, i don't think she makes the burning niche any stronger. She doesn't actually utilize burning in any way, she is just a character who her herself does more damage with burning. It's not like how chevreuse made the overload niche good or how nilou makes bloom good. I'm actually rather dissappointed in her in that sense, because there isn't anything fundamentally different about burning with her; like how chevreuse makes use of overload AND increases other characters personal damage with it, or how nilou makes blooms overcome the backloaded dmg without the need of a pyro. For example using nahida in her place in a burning team wouldn't change anything except maybe the resistance to burning dmg from emilie first talent. All emilie does is bring burning to the spotlight and let people look at it's utility. She doesn't change burning all she does is rely on it (in my opinion).
She does meaningfully more damage than Nahida does in a number of contexts. But I dont fundamentally disagree, I wouldve liked to see them design a unit incentivizing burning very differently, especially when I think about the fact that her existance means Hoyo probably WONT make a Chevreuse style unit for burning. But I just decided it wasnt that relevant to talk about those specifics this video vs mentioning the things I think were interesting, much of which is just centralized on that burning is underutilized in general. I dont think I said anywhere this video that Emilie was necessary to do stuff with burning.
@@Solunerra I also don't think you said emilie is necessary for burning, sorry if what is said came across wrong i didn't intend to try and put words in your mouth nor to directly adress you. I just interpreted 'enable' the niche to be much stronger as she does something nobody else can for the team. Yes she enables higher dmg than nahida, i just think of enable in the context of changing the playstyle/dynamics of the niche. Still holding out for the chevreuse of burning though, i never thought they would release one anyway because then reverie would be like marachausse is to furina with this burning chevruse, and i think hoyo would probably stay away from the one set for all thing.
i recently lost a 50/50 to yelan on 35 pity and as a f2p player this is a godsend. Should i pull for yelan or raiden? I need a secondary team and am in limbo between getting yelan, or raiden
It is hard to say without knowing your full roster/who you have built to formulate teams with. Both Raiden and Yelan are considered top meta units that can slot into a lot of different teams. Yelan is an excellent off-field hydro sub-dps while Raiden wants a little more field time traditionally to use her burst to battery the team's energy. Since dendro was introduced Raiden has some added versatility because she can work built with all EM as a hyperbloom trigger. I have both and have never regretted pulling for either one. Yelan has some added overworld utility because of her skill doubling as movement. If you really need a hydro to build teams, get Yelan. If you want to build a team around Raiden or use her for hyperbloom, get Raiden.
Well the only consolation when pulling for weapons is...... "we are not alone" Most of as are wasting lots of money for ...."pixels" that more often than not are useless! Anyway I wish good luck to everybody!!!🤞🍀
you can also just use a vpn yourself if you already pay for one and then set your country to japan. i have not been banned and i've been doing it for a while in all the hoyo games.
On the two vpns I used it didnt work for me (I tested this back in June), and most vpns require paying for them to select a country anyways. But if you have a way to access cheaper regional pricing w/o Paimons Bargains it makes sense to do so. They just offer a service that doesnt require you do jump through hoops to get access to said pricing (and their mobile payment systems in Malaysia give them further discounts past just the regional difference too, actually)
yeah it's just easier for me since i already pay for a vpn (mullvard) and as long as i pay with a credit card with no foreign transaction fee, i was getting 15-20 bucks off top-ups. which is still wild - 80 dollars for like 5 pulls is crazy and i can't believe i'm used to paying that much now.
