Best Wish To Pull - Recommended Banners

|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ | 0.6% | 5-Star Character |

Escoffier Banner
Banner For Escoffier Guide| Featured 5-Star Character & Tier | Banner Rating & Explanation |
|---|---|
| Escoffier SS | [ Rating ]: ★★★★ ・ [ Explanation ]: - Escoffier is a must-have for Freeze teams or Cryo DPSes in general due to her powerful Cryo RES shred. - Her amazing healing also makes her great to use outside Freeze teams especially if you use Furina. |
Navia Rerun Banner
Banner For Navia Guide| Featured 5-Star Character & Tier | Banner Rating & Explanation |
|---|---|
| Navia S | [ Rating ]: ★★★ ・ ・ [ Explanation ]: - Navia is a great Geo DPS with a bit of reliance on Crystallize and her teammates' off-field damage. - Compared to top DPSes, she's not as powerful but she is still a reliable DPS character. |
| 4-Star Character | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
| Layla | [ Pros ]: - Decent shields for a 4-Star character. - Can use Sacrificial Sword to refresh Elemental Skill for good uptime on her Shield. [ Cons ]: - Slow Cryo application as a sub-DPS. |
| Ororon | [ Pros ]: - Amazing Electro-Charged sub-DPS that can charge Energy. - Has access to Nightsoul mechanic that has unique interactions with other Natlan characters. [ Cons ]: - Reliant on other teammates to start the Electro-Charged reactions for his Passive's off-field damage. |
| Ifa | [ Pros ]: - Amazing damage boost for Electro-Charged teams. - Can hover midair away from melee enemies' attacks. - Has decent Crowd Control in his Elemental Burst for gathering enemies. - Has access to Nightsoul mechanic that has unique interactions with other Natlan characters. [ Cons ]: - Weak healing that will require a dedicated sustain support in his teams if using Furina. |

| Symphonist Of Scents | Verdict | ||
| Featured 4-Star Weapons | |||
| Range Gauge | The Dockhand's Assistant | The Widsith | Prospector's Drill |
| Portable Power Saw | - | - | - |
| Banner Rating & Explanation | [ Rating ]: ★★★ ・ ・ [ Explanation ]: - Symphonist of Scents is a weapon tailored to Escoffier's kit but Iansan can also use it. It can be a stat stick for ATK-scaling DPS characters as well. - Verdict is a weapon for DPS characters and requires Crystallize reaction to fully utilize it. It is more suited to Elemental Skill damage dealers. - Though Widsith is a really good 4-star weapon, it's better to pull on it if you have either Escoffier or Navia. |

New Wish Type - Character Event Wish-2
What Is Character Event Wish-2?
Character Event Wish-2 is a new type of Wish type specifically made for rerun banners. This will often run simulatenously with another banner, allowing for 2 Character Banners at the same time.
How Does It Work?
The Character Event Wish-2 is just like any other Wish event. What makes it different is that it shares Guarantee and Pity with it's concurrent Character Event Wish banner. You can build either pity on any of the two banners and the guarantee will carry over.
Should I Pull On The Character Event Wish-2?
The depends entirely on which character is featured, what you need in your team, and personal preference. If you're building pity, you can do it on either Wish Banners since they share it anyways.

Best Wish To Pull - Tips
Pull Beginner's Wish First
The Beginner's Wish is guaranteed to include ★4 Noelle on the 1st 10-wish roll and ★4 or higher character on the 2nd 10-wish roll. The reduced amount of currencies needed to do a 10-pull using Acquaint Fates (Blue Fates) makes it worthy to pull on first.
Pull Weapon Gacha If You Have Enough Characters
If you already own enough strong characters, going for the weapon gacha like Epitome Invocation is also recommended. A ★5 weapon is guaranteed at least once per 80 attempts. Since the stats of ★5 weapons are much higher than ★4, going for this banner is a good bet if you want to focus on increasing your damage.
