Which Character To Pull For? - Things To Consider
Scenario Breakdown
✓ means you have the character. ✖ means you don't have the character
| | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ | ✖ | - Unless you're about to get Con4 (Ayaka's best constellation), it's better to pull for Shenhe instead since she can directly increase Ayaka's damage |
| ✖ | ✓ | - If you don't have Ganyu or any other Cryo main DPS, it's best to get Ayaka. With you already having Shenhe, getting Ayaka will allow you to fully utilize Shenhe's abilities |
| ✓ | ✓ | - Best to skip instead of pulling if you have both characters already. Alternatively, you can opt to get their weapons instead in the Weapon's Banner instead |
| ✖ | ✖ | - If you don't have both characters yet, it's better to choose Ayaka instead. She has better utility and great damage compared to Shenhe that's very restricted with her team comps and abilties |
Things To Consider Before Pulling
Current Pool Of Characters
When choosing between Ayaka or Shenhe, consider first the pool of characters you currently have if you don't have a personal preference between them. It's only recommended to get Shenhe if you already have a strong Cryo Main DPS, while Ayaka is a generally must have unit if you don't have a Cryo Main DPS yet.
Ayaka Constellations
If you already have Ayaka, it's best to get Shenhe instead of getting the former's Constellations. Ayaka's Best Constellation is at C4, while Shenhe can just directly increase her damage.
Consider Pulling After Knowing The Next Banners
When pulling between Shenhe or Ayaka, you should also consider which characters will be released in the next banner.
Your Preference Matters Most
When it comes to pulling, it really is a matter of which character you like most regardless of Meta or other reasons.
