Should You Roll For Epitome Invocation?
Roll If You Want ★5 Weapon
A 5-star weapon has significantly higher stats than lower rarity weapons, so roll this banner if you have enough characters already. However, the priority of weapons is lower than characters in the early game, so pull at other banners if you don't have the characters you want.

Surf's Up is the best weapon that is used by Mualani. While other characters can use them as a stat-stick, only Mualani can make full use of this weapon. Aim for this weapon if you want to increase the personal damage of Mualani.
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage for Charged Attack
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage can be maximized by Chasca alone. However, even without activating parts of its abilities, it is good enough to be the second best weapon of Charged Attackers like Ganyu, Lyney, and Tighnari.

The first time you win a 5-star weapon in this event, there is a 75% chance it will be one of the featured weapons. If you didn't win the promotional 5-star weapons on your first 5-star weapon, the next 5-star will be 100% one of the promotional weapons.
Guarantee Count Accumulates Only Within This Event
Note that guarantee count only accumulates within the weapon event wish. This means that number of times you roll Epitome Invocation does not count for other non-weapon banners or limited character banners.
