a bit of a different vid, just some of my thoughts about the characters :D (don't take any of this too seriously, cause this video is massively biased!) ALSO DONT FORGET GENSHIN LOOT FROM PRIME GAMING: load.gg/GI6_YOU_GAC
I like this vid actually, although 18 minutes mark did made me hesitate to watch. A bit too long for something as casual as this imo. 13:35 This is totally me as well. Now I mainly use Ganyu only a day each week for weekly bosses. I literally just spam CA and don't have to see the screen while checking work on smartphone and even while playing another mobile game at the half other times. Sure, that also probably the reasoning her haters typically use, boring aim, yada-yada. But at least it has some real use and still powerful af.
Dehya is now one of my favorite characters now that I have her maxed at level 90. She completely obliterates anything especially when bad guys ate loaded up with Dendro first, she fights just like her personality, mature and not putting up with anyones childish sht, just awesome.
I regret not pulling on her rerun SO BAD. I pulled for Nilou instead because I already got tighnari and alhaitham consecutively during that time and I still haven't got a 5 star hydro so I thought why not pull for Nilou but nooo it's been months and I've NEVER used her at all if I ever need to use hydro I just pull barbara and she does the job. Now I have to suffer cause I know it will take a damn while before she gets a rerun 😢
I relate so much with the ganyu burnout. Loved her since her 1st release but Just like in the movie toy story, we all outgrow toys, even the one we use the most...
I feel that way towards ayaka, once a top tier 5 star sword user comes, her mist splitter going straight to that person and if we get another top tier cyro character ayaka’s artifacts going to that person.
I actually just used her for a couple of abyss runs as a support in an ayaka monocryo team. I don't like her play style but I like her character and her e and burst work well as a support. I was happy I got to use her again.
I think I've gotten extremely dependent on yelan. She is just amazing for the open world. Got her C1 too just for that. I can live without zhongli but I can't live without yelan.
Same. And I'm not only addicted to her in the overworld, but also in combat. Having any attack also apply Hydro is so addicting, so many numbers on screen.
Yeh same got her c1 and weap on the rerun and using her only made it more fun seeing a support doing such sick dmg and great for overworld exploration is just top tier
I got her on the rerun while trying to get either her or Xingqiu to C6 (he's still C5). No regrets. But... My most reliable guy would still probably be Kazuha. I rarely even exchange him for Venti unless I'm playing Alhaitham and need CC (+ Venti has Elegy) and there are very few teams where I don't get him out into the world. I've had Kazuha since he was released and oh boy... still using him pretty much every day haha
@@Gamfluent my Yelan is in need of Favonius haha And I don't have enough EM on Kazuha to run him with Fav comfortably (I have Xiphos though, it's almost as good as Fav in terms of ER (but I have enough ER substats) and gives EM. But Kazuha is on my main abyss teams while Yelan... Mainly in overworld rn but maaaybe she'll be in more abysses hehe Just in case, I play Kazuha much more than Venti but in Alhaitham's teams (I mainly play him as a spread DPS and occasionally Hyperbloom) I go for Venti for CC
The characters that made Tighnari feel complete to me were Yae and Nahida. They clear abyss so fast even at C0 and are one of my top 4 meta team comps right now since launch.
I love ayato for the sameeee reason he is so perfect for open world trash mobs Alhaitham does way more dmg than I expected tbh and he is go to rn for more frontloaded dmg. Yelan I was only pulling for Xingqui constellations when I won my 50/50 and was in shock. I did want her but was saving for future characters but this woman was a blessing in disguise and one of the only characters I never take off my team now! Nahida is the other character who I always have on my team since I got her! Kokomi is who I go to as my tank and she was my first 5 star and carried me for so long. I don't wanna say regret but timing wise I do regret Cyno. I should've waited for a rerun rather than him being my 2nd limited character because i do like his playstyle but he just doesn't play smoothly unless you have the right team but that's a reason I want baizhu tbh.
Ayato is definitely my most played character lol , it has been more than a year since he got released and he’s never been out of my teams for both spiral abyss/exploration it’s mostly due to how super versatile he is + super satisfying too
Its really crazy to me how I haven't got even close to being bored with him yet despite his gameplay seemingly being so simple. I think there's the satisfaction of his animations and effects plus just how great his teams feel to play. Ayato Soup just has so many shiny colors on the screen I never get tired of it
Meanwhile ayato’s my regret lol. I pulled him just cause he’s a tall husbando and i gotta catch em all but yelan, xingqiu and childe have always been much superior to him in any team i use so he just sits there for moral support 🫡
These 'regret summoning X character' videos are things that new players may not have problems with, especially when they plan who to pull in advance, because they have the advantage of informations on the already released & reviewed characters
Only character I regret pulling is Cyno. I tried really hard to like him after release because he seemed so fun and unique but his rotations are just stunted to me, even with Nahida. Only character I regret NOT pulling for is Nilou but that's about to change tonight. Bloom teams ended up being my go-to and she would be a great addition to any of them.
I use alhaitham and yao yao a lot recently just to max out their friendship level. I'm still maxing out my 5 stars so I don't really regret pulling for them because I'm grateful I have 5 stars.
I understand the burn off of xiao. For some reason though to me, he is still my favorite character to use but also xiao was one of the characters that got me into genshin in the first place.
I've been using Tighnari and Wanderer the most! I love their playstyles, they're both so fun. I just pulled Nilou so I'm really diving into bloom teams, she'll probably become one of my most played. Very excited for Baizhu as well, Kokomi has been my go-to healer for too long, I'll get to shuffle some of my team comps around with him instead
@@neoe5970 The simple gameplay could be what make her popular to some people. I personally love Scara so much, I pull for him just to get Faruzan for my Xiao but now I use him more than Xiao lol. Just spamming normal or charge attack with him is so much fun and world exploration with him is too good, I also love using his dodge move even if the skill dmg isn't that high, it looks cool
Honestly, I don't even regret lost 50/50s. It's how I even managed to get Qiqi after a long time of trying to do so on standard. And now I can get Tighnari and Dehya? It's a win-win in my book!
@@Sky-bq7ic nah, my personal nightmare is Keqing. I don't like any aspect of her and she's C3 while my Qiqi is C0 after 2 years pf playing and I use her more often than Keqing...
Based and a man of culture as well, but building pity is what I must confess coz got Cyno early and have his weapon when pulling for Dehya's bacon, no regrets tho, instead of losing those 50/50 into a std. weapon or char.
Using Kokomi ever since her first day of the first banner. Her teammates may have changed because of Hyperbloom but she is almost always there. And even though some characters I don't use too often, I don't regret getting anyone from them. If nothing else I'm regretting not being flexible enough to use different over world teams all the time to use every single character from time to time. Also my heart shattered as you said that you regret getting the donut of Kokomi. After 3.1 live stream that showed that there won't be Eula rerun, I went and pulled the donut. And I'm so happy that Kokomi was my first character to get her signature weapon and she is using it till this day.
As a Keqing main since day 1 (she was, literally, my first pull), I can tell you like Alhaitham so much because their playstyles are similar, while he has a lot of damage. I'm also in love with him. He actually got Cyno's place on hyperbloom. I consider Ganyu the best unit do to daily commission. Just smash whatever from afar.
I really enjoyed this different format from you :D and oh well, I got Ayaka when her eternal banner happened but other than exploring the Chasm around the time it released, I never used Ayaka that much... I got Shenhe this rerun and I can't stop putting them together in my abyss teams, domains or just overworld!
Wanderer for me is nr1, love the attack animation and play style. I Don't regret any pulls, i think a lot about how to invest my primo's. Baizhu wil be my next pull.
I've been using thoma burgeon with Venti alot this few weeks. Let me tell you, this team is very fun when you fighting against a lot of enemies, and also, seeing those burgeon reaction is satisfying!
I love Cyno the character. The art of him, the memes, his characterization are all amazing. One of my favorites! ...his gameplay, however, I don't like. I enjoy burst unga bunga spam characters (Xiao and Itto are two of my other faves) but he just feels so restrictive. My guy REALLY needs a shield or interrupt resistance in order to feel functional, which can be hard with reliance on a good electro battery, dendro applicator, and possibly hydro applicator if Hyperbloom. It's even harder considering I have a C2 Raiden (with her weapon) that just feels like a stronger electro burst DPS. :(
I originally regretted pulling for Cyno, but he eventually grew on me with the hyperbloom playstyle.(with the inazuma craftable polearm he works very well) Who I regret getting tho is Albedo, Xiao, Wanderer, Ganyu and Klee. A litle Ayaka too, but she will see more use after I get Kokomi
@Gnidel thank you for elaborating! I don't have any shield character outside noelle and her ult loads slow (plus haven't had a chance ro properly build her)
I often pull for any new character even if they are off meta/mid. I always end up using the new characters for a week to a month/new releases (Including Dehya despite her underwhelming kit) since it’s always nice to unlock some kind of hidden potential
I have Dehya maxed now and she is one my best kick ass, clean the floor, put up with no sht hammers. She can completely wipe the floor if the boss is loaded up with Dendro first. She’s the big girl in the room everyone looks up to and fights like it too once you stay with her long enough to build her whole kit. It’s the reward at the end.
@@Sirindilable me with ayaka XD im a cryo fan having all cryo char til now with plans to c6 ayaka shenhe and tsaritsa and maybe put 1 crown on ALL others cryo doenst matter how much i play or what im against in abyss i'll use ayaya til the end zero regrets 🛐
As a f2p player, i don't regret any of my characters cz i wish on those character banners which i love to play most or i want to... It's nice to share your opinion with ours, it's helps a lot❤
i've been watching your genshin videos for years now, so hearing you talk about your razor main days felt nostalgic to me too, like oh i remember that too LOL
For me, my most used ones are Hu Tao, Wanderer, Zhongli, Yelan and Nahida (Honorable mention: Kokomi. I pulled her for my hyperbloom team and it was really worth it, even though it's the least used of my regular teams). Also, I'm currently on a mission to rebuild my Keqing for aggravate, since I really like her and she was my main in the past (almost since launch), but I stopped using her a short while after pulling Hu Tao in 1.3. The one I regreted pulling the most was Raiden, at least until Dendro released, because I didn't really like her gameplay as much as I initially thought I would, but as a hyperbloom trigger she's really nice. The ones I still regret pulling are Eula, Yae, Shenhe (didn't improve my Ayaka team as much as I was hoping for) and Itto. Cyno is a weird one because I don't use him that much, but I also don't really regret pulling him, simply because I like him that much. As for those who I used a lot in the past but stopped (though I don't regret pulling them): Albedo, Xiao, Ganyu, Ayaka (used her for Wenut in Abyss again after a long break), Venti, Kazuha and Childe.
I haven't regret pulling for any character, to be honest. I make use of every character in some form or fashion. Weapon banners, on the other hand... Some late term regret simply because of some of the money I dumped into trying to get weapons that turned out to not be so great, like Zhongli's "signature" polearm.
your account is literally like mine. mono geo and dendro teams and nilou. i kinda not look back to other comps ever since dendro was released. your video make me feels so okay:>
I still have a level 20 Albedo from his initial release near the start of the game... No regrets, though, for one he was on the first Bennett banner, which allowed me to main melt-Bennett and Q vape Mona for a bit, and obviously just get an amazing character. Then I also don't regret it cause I will eventually level him, it's just that I STILL haven't really delved into geo as a whole, and my specialists for other areas just got better and better over time. He has his issues, mainly just vs. enemies that despawn the flower, but when he works well, he feels SUPER smooth to play.
As much as I enjoy playing Alhaitham (one of my current mains), nothing will ever beat the feeling of playing Childe (my old but also current mains) especially in Childe International. Idek why this is the case with the majority of players but his play style is not actually difficult. Once you understand his kit you will demolish every content. His riptide mechanic is also satisfying asf, probably the most satisfying mechanic in Genshin. I don’t have any regrets pulling certain characters as someone who collects them, because who knows maybe one day due to meta shifting, the one character I don’t ever use may become super useful later. Overall its just nice to have them in my account.
I fortunately never regret pulling. As for character I use very often now it's Wanderer. I dunno why I pull him, I never was a fan of him, maybe just was washed away by tide of hype around him. BUT NOW I think he's one of the best my choices. He so much fun to play in abyss and open world. And as I build him i use him in every abyss and he saved me a lot of times. I don't have good dendro team so even to 3.5 I never get 36* with dendro team. But already 4 times I think Wanderer get's the job done very well. I build him with VV-set cause I had many bad arts so just used them in strongbox. And get 78/198 crits, but 0 EM. Talents 9/9/9. You may think "dude you gave him VV-set and don't have EM? WTF?" But even like this he produce great damage. My favorite team for him is Wanderer/Diona/Xiangling/Bennet. Unfortunately Faruzan ignored me entirely, but even without her he smash down every mob completely. Now I want him to triplecrown. HE DESERVE IT!
You can try hyperbloom eula: Eula, xinqiu/yelan, Nahida, Raiden/Kuki. Eula is useful because she gets defense boost with e and also resistance to interrumption. Also she does well damage with raiden and you can enjoy multiple reactions.
I find It weird just how much I almost agree 100% with all your statements about which characters you still find fun and those who you just got burned out of/don't find yourself using as much as one would expect.
My most used is Xiao, I waited for a year after I started playing to finally get him. As to a character that I regret I don’t think there is one, but at first I was scared that I was gonna regret pulling for alhaitham since I pulled for him mainly because he’s hot, but now he’s one of my favorite characters to play and I use him almost as much as I use Xiao
My favorite/strongest teams right now are formed by the ones you don't use a lot: -> Burgeon: Tighnari, Klee, Venti and Kokomi (It came to be for me. Fast rotation and super easy to clean most of abyss levels) -> Freeze: Shenhe, Ayaka, Sucrose/Ganyu and Kokomi (I use it in the last floors) Besides that, sometimes I use: HuTao + Xingqiu; Eula + Shenhe + Fischl + Bennett; Itto + Albedo + Gorou + Bennett.
I don't think I regret anyone per se. Xiao and Hu Tao are characters I've never used much, or at all, but it gives me comfort having them in my account. Idk if this makes sense. Their playstyle is just not for me, I guess?I've tried so many times to make them work but for me it's just it. I get the dendro hype though. Never thought I'd turn so much from geo main into a dendro main but the reactions are just insaaaanely fun. Only thing I'd disagree about what you said would be that spread feels lacking (in comparison to hyperbloom). When it comes to dendro reactions, quicken is still my favorite one. And while I understand hyperbloom is better and I use it now and then, the quickened damage popping off on screen, especially with Tighnari's lighting fast arrows, it feels reaaaally satisfying to me. Like yeah, I know Alhaitham, Cyno and others are all better with hyperbloom because that's just how broken hyperbloom is. But it makes me happy seeing their raw damage double or even triple thanks to quicken, and knows it was then causing it, and not just Kuki carrying the team.
It took me almost a year to decide if I liked playing Hu Tao or not, but she was worth it in the end. I don't really like her for world stuff, but she's my go to for many domains.
love these videos with more personal opinions. They are intgeresting. In my case, i got really burnout from Yelan. She is so op I started using her in every team and also for exploration but that got to a point where i even got tired of looking at her burst animation. Now Ive been avoiding her and going for other hydro characters instead. Its been fun trying new teams. On the other hand i have been using tighnari so much. I got him from standar banner on my bday
The fact that i've been using Zhongli about 3 Years in my lifespan playing genshin was so insane , i realized that using tenacity set gives a good buff with black tassel is good. But , as corrosion is a thing it was really concerning that Zhongli would not be good at all .
The characters I really regret getting are the ones I already have on another account. Hu Tao helped me on my main, carrying the abyss with Ganyu on the other team, however.... my other account was doing fine with Ayaka and Yoimiya. Then, during that one banner, I pulled Ayaka on my main and... I don't use her. I literally farmed an entire Blizzard Strayer set for her, a domain I hadn't touched since before I got her but she just doesn't feel necessary when my Ganyu has an Amos Bow. The only character that is exempt to this is Yoimiya, she is amazing and so fun to use I am so glad I got her on both accounts. Then there's Xiao and Cyno, honestly I only got them because I love polearm users but their selfish playstyle and my lack of good polearm weapons really hinders my ability to enjoy them.
I feel the exact same way about Ayaka. I have her fully built with Amenoma lvl90, 9/9/9 talents and solid blizzard set but I don't think I've ever used her. I find Ganyu to be way more versatile since she can be played in melt, freeze and be a support, while Ayaka is just freeze.
I don't regret getting any of my characters, though I will say that I could live without Eula LOL Itto, Albedo, Wanderer, Cyno, and Yoimiya have all been fun for me. I'll never regret Tartaglia or Alhaitham since they're my mains
It’s nice of you to do this video and you are right about some of the characters but remember those characters were prime when they came out and Hoyoverse changing the game to make us pay money ….
The only character I regret pulling is klee, she dosent really help much but the one who I really love to use is eula even though people dislike her, I have so much fun using her and she is my strongest character who could do 1 million dmg
characters i always revert to are electro girlies, espescially miko and lisa and ei, i rly like nahida and nilou and yelan, have also started utilizing funerational these days. Kazuha and Zhongli also for their utility and contribution to electro. When we had that inazuma shuumatsuban x fatui world quest i loveddd playing as sara and rosaria bcos they're both so cool
tbh i used to regret pulling wanderer as a triple crowned xiao main. running him as a hypercarry just felt so stale in addition to needing a battery and lacking a shielder. then i ended up playing him for whatever reason with triple em and 4 piece vv in an avatar team and he has almost never left my most popular teams since. idc if it’s not meta, anemo swirl gameplay is just so enjoyable and saved him for me.
Thank you for mentioning that it's fun to play Dehya, even if her damage output is by no means impressive! I can 100% relate to that so hearing it from you was super satisfying 😊 cheers!
hard agree on wanderer, his playstyle does not click with me but i havent been able to take him out of my overworld team since 3.3, flying is just too good and brainless CA spam is easy and enough dmg for overworld mobs meaning the rest of the team can be whoever for puzzles/world mechanics/qol. Hope hoyo releases more qol characters with a better playstyle
As low spender I don't ever regret pulling a character and more like regret not getting the character I want without waiting a year for their rerun but I can see how annoying it would be to get a character just to bench them I think more accurate title for me personally would be "Characters I wish I could like more" and for me it would be: Klee, Venti, Albedo, Eula and the rest is 4 stars like Lisa, Razor, etc.
In terms of 5 Stars, the Most I've used & Never Stop Playing is Keqing, Even before Dendro came, I've always consistently play her. I used to run her with Kuki/Xingqui/Sucrose. Now it's Keqing/Nahida/Kokomi/& Kazuha. And the Reason why I roled on his rerun banner, I never believe the hype before coz I had C6 Sucrose. Lucky for me, I for both won him & his Signature weapon at 1st Pity. Kokomi, I never everregretted pulling for her. I was among the Very Few that saw her potential, despite the hate from other Players & Content Creators back then ( Now, Some of Those Content Creators are Singing her Praises 😒 ). And Yes, I have her Signature Weapon, with No Regrets. Zhongli by Default, If Baizhu Shields are as Effective as Zhongli, I might bench him---- Who am I kidding I belong to the percentage that 'Lacks Skill'. I used to use Hu Tao a lot before, but I now I just bring her out to kill Childe Every Sunday. I don't regret pulling Eula, It's just that Everything Dies before her Burst goes out. Shenhe, I somewhat Regret pulling for her. I Only pulled for her as a Support for Ganyu. And She's Forever Stuck in my Ganyu Freeze Team. Nilou, I wanted her coz She's Cute & Wanted her as my 2nd Hydro Main (2nd to Kokomi). I didn't fully understand her kit & wanted her as Hydro Main. I wanted to see dish out damage & 90% On-screen coz She's Very Pretty. Sooner or Later, I have to reconcile myself to the Fact, She's a Bloom Support.
I got back to my first main character Albedo yesterday and building a geo team around him. I think, when you reach end game it’s so easy to play meta and know it’s all about new content and trying out new characters. I’m playing him with Gorou and Zhongli and the lasts spot is flex, Raiden/Childe/Ayato 😻🙏🏻
Alhaitham! I got him on 5 pity after doing a cheeky 10 pull to see if I could get a 4* constellation. But turns out I actually loved playing him and wish I'd pulled for his weapon now lol.
@@SmittenandBitten true for sure and the draw back would be less survivability and no resistance shred in exchange for pyro resonance but could be interesting.
“Why do I regret summoning” Me: What is this mysterious word “regret”? Joking aside I don’t regret any character I summon as I have all of them and one of my main goals is to collect all the characters. However I don’t plan to get multiple constellations once I get the new 5 star character until their next rerun if I want to. Of course we all don’t need all the characters, but as someone who’s been playing games for the past 27 years I feel uneasy when I don’t have all the characters in the games I play if I’m able to do it that is.
It's always a bit sad to leave characters on the bench even if you enjoyed them. It's been a long while since my triple-crowned Ningguang has seen the field. Also, I think when GG gets to making that Yae Miko video, he'll be pleasantly surprised...
I wish I could get rid of 3/4 of my character’s who I never use, just taking up space in the memory. We should be able to recycle garbage they give us when pulling for another character.
AS someone who have every chara at c0 and most of them at R1 I regret pulling most of them, It is better to invest at constellation than some unit that you never touch again :/
Thank you for mentioning Mono Geo. Still my favourite brain-dead team. If they fixed Albedo's flower so it can't be destroyed, he'll be right up there with some of the other sub-dps. The elemental mastery passive would probably more than makeup for dropping Yelan in double hydro reaction teams (minus Nilou). That said the crystallised reaction sucks too. It needs to be reworked alongside shatter. That or Hoyoverse reworks the abyss so it isn't kill everything as fast as possible. Some survive for x seconds would be nice to bump artefact sets, reactions and characters that focus on keeping you alive. It would also make Def/HP stats on artefacts more valuable.
If they ever make Crystalyze a good reaction (make it give you an offensive buff depending on the elemental shield like atk for pyro, crit for cryo, hp for hydro and er for electro), Albedo would become incredible
Throwing in my two cents. I agree with you that it feels like Freeze is getting the short end of the stick in Abyss. I love using my Ayaka freeze team and got pretty lucky on my recent weapon banner pulls. But man, playing Abyss yesterday against those concentrated beast enemies in 12-1 felt like such a slap in the face. I hate that they have some kind of frozen resistance and are able to break out of being frozen at times. It’s so dumb! The only character I regret pulling is Klee. I feel bad I just don’t use her because she was my only Pyro five star back in the early days. And even after I built her, she was fine in overworld but I was sad she was underperforming and felt bad to play in Abyss after 2.0. For Every other character I’ve intentionally gone for, I have enjoyed playing them. Even if some have taken a serious backseat in “retirement”, I am still happy when I used them.
If "not using a character" was the benchmark that I used for telling if I regretted pulling a character... then I would basically regret all but 4 of my characters, lmao. I've been running Childe with Bennet and Fischl since 1.1. Last change I made to the team was swapping out Beidou for Kazuha in 1.6. So yeah, I've been running just that team for the last 3 years. I do build and play around with new characters when I pull them... but then I usually stop playing with them within the week and go back to my Childe International comp.
