(edit2: Capturing Radiance apparently does not trigger at a 10% chance on a 50/50 loss. This is known for sure now. There is a current theory made to match current data observations that the mechanic is actually intended to prevent losing too many consecutive 50/50s, but the exact working is unknown rn) Thanks again to Paimon's Bargains for sponsoring two of the topups for this video!

Hey, I've been leaving comments and they keep getting deleted. Idky. I've left 3 comments and they all kept getting deleted. I hope this reply doesn't get deleted too. OMGGGG IM SOOOO HAPPY!!!! I GOT THE WINGS!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS!! I live in India and I'm f2p so there's no way I could've got this. I tried including screenshots of how it looks on Father and Lyney. I won't do that now since that may be why they're getting deleted? I'm using them on my favourite characters Lyney and Father. I'M SOOOO HAPPY!! THIS MADE MY DAY, WEEK AND MONTH!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! (I'm copying this comment. If it gets deleted again, I'll text on your stream)
There are gachas that give you a token for each pull, and at like 200 you get the guaranteed character of your choice from any of the banners, even if you got like multiple copies of it or other character It's basically a guaranteed pull for anything you want
@@arzr_er yes but you have to do those 200 pulls 😂 and normally you're not going to 200 unless you don't get the character at all. That system is very bad
@@KingMufasa_8 i mean he said "guaranteed character of your choice from any of the banners" so in genshin if you did those 200 pulls on 2 different banner you could technically get 5star from either that banner or next one... its like primogems or something that's in your bag, that you get every time you pull. (if I understood correctly)
20 minutes??? What were ya doing? Walking directly from Fontaine to Natlan? It only takes about 3 minutes to talk to Furina, Navia, Charlotte, and Clorinde And maybe another 5-7 to talk to Kachina before you get her
You talking about your biggest issue with Genshin's gacha system being not getting 4 stars while spending 300 dollars on a single character will never be not funny
Well you don't have to spend 300 dollars to get a 5*, you do however need to interact with the stupid 4* banner mechanics to get a 4* you like. Top Up is pay to lose anyway unless you are a severe whale that doesnt care about losing money and will go for high tier cons. The average players account isnt gonna get much better from spending "just" 300$.
Forget this mechanic existed cuz it will only make you depressed if you try to get it. It's just one of those rare mechanics that comes onec in a while and shouldn't be taken into much consideration
(Actually no, it was quite unlikely lol, which was the point of the video-proceed as normal for deciding to wish for a character or not because even $300 is highly unlikely to trigger this new mechanic)
My luck actually went crazy on this banner and I ended up getting c6 Kachina in the 13k I had saved up with no spending. We love to see it. Sending out my best wishes to all Kachina enjoyers out there!

@@foozywolf Im more referring to the comment I replied too, and sure its this was all made for the video but based on what he said during it he seemed to feel like the mechanic was going to somehow making swiping feel worth it
I got Mualani with 60 pity and secured, then I threw 5 wishes at the weapon banner and I got Kazuha's weapon, I threw a multy at his banner and I got Mona which I didn't have, I rolled one more wish and I got him . In the end I chose Tignari which I didn't have either. How was so lucky that I want to cry from happiness.
pretty similar, I got mualani with 13 pity, threw a 10 pull and got kazuhas weapon at 19 pity, then I picked tighnari. I already have kazuha though so I'm going to finish the weapon banner to get mualani weapon
"They've done nothing to address my core issues with the gacha in this game." Sir that's because you bought all the top ups and will continue to spend money and they know it.
Okay, I left a comment as soon as I got the code and after that too, it seems to be getting deleted. Maybe coz I included an Imgur link to the screenshot of Arlecchino with the wings. OMGGG I'M SO HAPPY!!!! I GOT THE WINGS THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! THIS MADE MY DAY, WEEK AND MONTH!! I live in India and I'm f2p so there's no way I could've got this. I'M SO THANKFUL!!! It looks so good on Father and Lyney!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Darn I was hoping I could get the kfc glider. That code was only there for like 2 frames lol. I had to slow down to quarter speed and then advance a frame at a time to read it. But alas, already used. Congrats whoever got it!!
I love the way you framed the weapon banner changes. Very true that unless you save enough to guarantee (which is lower now) it's exactly the same experience as before. And I strongly suspect you're right that most people don't save enough for guarantee and are using spares after character banner.
I feel a little better watching this knowing we had almost the same luck. I'm a new player, I saved up for 2 weeks and spent $50 on top-ups, had 160 pulls total, and lost 50/50 to tighnari, went c6 on Xinyan, pulled 0 Bennetts, got C2 Kachina and the guaranteed Mualani, so I'm pretty disappointed. Sorry your luck was crummy as well boss 😢
It took me 64 pulls to get Kachina, it took me 70 pulls to get Sethos and I didn't get Chevreuse on her banner (lucked out on standard). New 4* drop rates are awful these days. But I did win Mualani :) I c6ed Diona, Yun Jin, Sara and Gorou on their very first banners just going to the featured 5* once, so I swear new 4* drops have gotten way worse.
Even though on the banner it says "up" 😂 my luck must be seriously down because I kept getting the guitar lady xianyan? Was it.. I already have c6 and I don't use her.
@@dshearwf I don't like him and only tried to get his C1 for the sake of meta just to have it. Not really gonna use him unless I need to due to shitty weapon selection on the acc that doesn't have enough base atk or something like that. I like the game but really dislike gacha and have also lost on 3/3 banners just to rub it in so to think I could have double the amount of 5 star characters I like is insane. But yeah, this all is why I'm not spending my money on the game
@@soongow main takeaway is def to never top up. welkin is a nice and fair thing, it's 3k primo over 30 days for 5 bucks and BP is also neat, but straight up buying primos is a really bad idea with those rates, I feel your pain.
@@dshearwf Yeah that's pretty reasonable but I'm just gonna stay F2P tbh. Only watched this video because I like Soluna's content and wanted to support it.
@@srikzh it did gain value though with +1 elixier per bp and artifact xp instead of any other resource. I always like those 300 dollar videos for some reality check and education that the money spent definitely doesn't correlate to anything noteworthy in the vast majority of cases.
On your yapping of the weapon banner - before the fate change, i typically would only summon on it if I was okay with getting either weapon and didn't already have either of them. Made the odds of getting a useless dupe much smaller.
life and this reality are so fucked up... 300us dollars is more than the minimum wage in my country (a month worth of working) and people just spend that to see a little light go off on a banner... lol nothing makes sense anymore
Im a content creator making money off of videos, and two of the topups are sponsored. My end cost for this video was $85. I will MAKE money from it, not to mention my ability to potentially make future videos on Mualani. The reason I do these things is very different from the reasons why a normal player would, which is important to remember. Spending money to make money isnt exactly the same thing as working a normal job and spending money on the game.
Since inuzuma the chances felt like 35/100 and in sumeru it felt more like 25/100 on the charecter pulls. So with that new mechanic on wish it will increase to 30/100.
9:04 I'm not sure for guarantees but I've seen someone getting capturing radiance but their first 5* was a standard character so something a bit like this: 10 pulls: 1- x 2- x 3- Standard character (5050 loss) 4- x 5- x 6- Mualani (guarantee) 7- x 8- x 9- Mualani (capturing radiance) 10- x Essentially what I understood from that clip, you can get capturing radiance which could mean more than a single 5* if the first 5* in that multi wasn't the rate-up character lol. But perhaps it means that it could just activate for each individual pull instead of each multi or something, I don't know if that makes sense.
Lol you're right about why I pulled on the weapon banner this time. I lost the 50/50 to Jean but then got Mualani within the next 20 pulls and had spare wishes so thought eh, I'll chance it to try and get her weapon. WOW my luck was amazing this time! I got her weapon in less than 20 pulls too - stark contrast to the 200+ fates I had to use for Alecchino's weapon after losing to Lyney's twice first (THE PAIN!) The polearm only acc is a fun idea
i got ridiculously lucky on this banner 😭 finally got my benny c6, c5 kachina, c1r1 mualani, and c0r1 kazuha and everything was early. and i triggered capturing radiance which made me actually scream 😭 i fear ive used up all my luck tho LMFAO
Just a thought. So it's impossible to get Capturing Radiance on Guarantee. But let's say on the slim chance of a double 5* on a guarantee. 1st obviously guaranteed. But what if you trigger Capturing Radiance on the 2nd 5*. Would it still show the animation? Or would it skip it.. 🤔
there was a post somewhere saying it triggers after you lose 50 50 like twice in a row basically: lose 50 50 > guarantee > lose 50 50 > 75% chance to trigger radiance but if you lose then > guarantee > 100% chance to trigger radiance
I got her on my first 10 pull on her banner at around 70 pity. She's fun to have to explore Natlan, you can basically surf on any terrain so you can go faster.
I got my ketchina in the third pull and my mualani on the 5th pull i think, i had 7 wishes, pity 20, started playing last week lucky me i guess cause i now need to go to natlan to get mats LMAO
Speaking of 4 star luck… in HSR, after 120 pulls (over the course of 2 banners) I STILL haven’t got this certain 4 star character! (We don’t speak her name)
about the weapon banner, as a midspender/dolphin? it makes a lot of difference, saving for a desired weapon is more realistic now. instead of saving for 240 fates (it takes me around 2-3 patches with welkin and casual playing everyday) now it's just 160, it cuts one patch of saving
Let me share my pain in pulling for 4*s, or at least one 4* in particular: Kaveh. On his debut banner, I got Baizhu, Mona, Ganyu, and another Ganyu before I saw even one Kaveh. I actually regret it, because I didn’t want c1 Ganyu. If it had occurred to me that I might get a FOURTH 5*, I would have switched back to Baizhu’s banner instead. Then came Nilou’s banner, and with it Kaveh’s first rerun. I wasn’t even going to pull for Nilou. I was on the fence about her. But Kaveh was on the banner, and I wanted revenge. I got three Kavehs alongside Tighnari and Nilou. All in all, I got four copies of the 4* I wanted in the same number of pulls as it took me to get six 5*s. It’s absurd. I don’t whale in this game. At all. I’ve never topped up. Which means every pull counts. So not getting the 4* I want really hurts. Kaveh isn’t even good…
300 bucks (with the newly reset bonus) is 25,920 primos = 162 wishes. I think the average 5 star probability occurs at 50-55 wishes. So that's 3 5 stars. EDIT: it's actually 62.5, so that's 2.6 5-stars. And on average this occurs 5% of the time. The formula 1-(0.95^2.6) equals a 12.5% chance of seeing the rescue occur with 300 bucks.
16:54 bc they are slowly revealing that all of their games share a multiverse another example is Welt, a Hi3 character literally coming to the universe of HSR as a playable character and the story of how. or Dvalin/Stormterror appearing in HSR amd how they present that. The devs confirmed it was him as well the rabbit hole goes deep and will continue to grow mark my words, there will he a huge crossover event far off in the future
I think that like 1/3 of the 5* characters or weapons that I get are usually while I'm doing some random single wish and I skip the animation, and this video just made me realize that even if I actually ever get this effect, I might not even know it... XD
Honestly, this is a great video to show a new player, especially a new gacha game player, how the "luck" really goes and how hundreds of dollars spent doesn't guarantee anything.
i guess i was one of the lucky f2p players that got to see the mechanic during 5.0 cause i ended up getting kazuha after years of wanting him and losing every 50/50 because of it 😂
To me, pulling for the characters we want by the luck of a draw is a RIP OFF! For the money me and others put into this game, we should get the one we want right away without having to pull by luck! 😮
man would it kill hoyo to add like a special toggle where you can choose the 4 star and they give it a boost over the other 2 4 stars in the banner? like when you get a 4 star, it has a 60% chance to be the one that you wanted of the featured ones?? but i guess it would cut into all the money they make in making it so hard to get 4 stars, especially as the 4 star pool increases
The first time I pulled on the weapon banner it went exactly as you described. I was guaranteed Ayaka and spent 45 for the wishes to get her because she's my favorite character then got her a little early. Since I had already spent some money and had wishes leftover I decided to take a chance for her weapon. I got it on the first 10 pull!
I had 70 wishes 0 pity spent them all got a few much needed bennet cons but hope I get the new mechanic so next five star is guaranteed so I can save for furina reliably don’t mind if I get Mulani tbh cuz I was mainly going for bennet cons
With the way the mechanic is now, capturing radiance when of been way cooler and way more worth it if it gives you two copies of the limited 5 star!! 😮 with how rare this actually happens you would think that would make way more sense.
I will be pulling on Mualani's banner for Kachina cons on the rollover day and this video is going to be here to inoculate me against the psychic damage of the 4* gacha
Wait. Even on a guaranteed you might still see the animation. If you get a double 5 star there’s a chance you still lose the 50/50 after you get your guarantee and then the animation kicks in.
As a new ish player, I decided to wish for kazuha with the first ten aqquaint fates I got and I GOT HIM!! 6th 50/50 in a row won! Wishing everyone luck for pulling on Mulani and Kazuha!
oh my god the weapon DOES look like the w-engine from zzz. that was making me go insane because it looked really familiar to me but i couldn't figure out why
it took me 157 wishes to get mualani, but i got lucky with 8 kachinas along the way. i didnt care for her at first but once i tried her i realized how fun she is. so silver lining i guess lol
I'm happy I got Mualani even if I was disappointed I found out that Kachina also has the locator skill and that's part of why I got her, but I can also run Vape Nilou on my C3 Nilou I got in 110 pulls (I was just aiming for cons on all the 4 stars and I ended up walking away with more Nilous than Kirara + Ningguang combined, and a Dehya for good measure lol), and I got double Mualani in the 10 pull I got her at like 90 summons (I was pity broken by Jean at around 20 which I'm not upset about at all).
