Best Wish To Pull - Recommended Banners
Different Per Player
Because Genshin employs a Gacha system where the characters you get are random, it's inevitable that recommendations will differ depending on a given player's current character lineup and preference. In this section, we've presented several cases and provided recommendations for each one.

| 4-Star Character | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
| Sethos | Pros: - Strong Electro damage similar to that of some 5-Star characters Cons: - Fairly easy ot use but it limited by his long cooldown |
| Thoma | Pros: - Deals periodic Pyro Attacks when both shields are active even when off-field - Best Pyro character for Burdgeon (Due to slower application of Pyro, he hits the cores instead of the Dendro application) Cons: - High energy cost & CD for Elemental Burst ↳ Can be aided with Favonius Lance - Shield duration is short. - Tend to steal reactions from Main DPS |
| Bennett | Pros: - Powerful healing & ATK Buff - Very easy to build and does not require specific stats to be useful - Is flexible and can perform multiple roles at once - Low Energy Cost and Energy Recharge scaling, making his Elemental Burst have close to 100% uptime - Is also great for self cleansing Cons: - Does not heal 100% of HP - Constellation 1 is needed to ignore the HP amount condition for buff - Does not work well with non-ATK scaling DPS characters |

| The Stringless | - | - | - |
| Banner Priority & Description | |||
| Priority: ★★★・・ 5-Star Description: - The Absolution is a good DPS weapon, but it's Wweapon skill does limit it to Clorinde who is the only one that can fully take advantage of it. - On the other hand, Light of Foliar Incision is a great weapon for any Main DPS that can take advantage of elemental infusion. - Overall, it's not a bad banner, but it would be better to pull only if you have either Alhaitham or Clorinde. | |||

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.

Potential Future Banners
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 chance of getting a super rare character is much higher than other banners so you should definitively choose this banner 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.
