Pull Depending On What Role Your Account Needs
Banner recommendation differs on what role you account needs:
If you feel that your account lacks on-field damage dealers, pulling for banners with DPS characters are recommended.
If you lack power for the DPS that you are using, pulling for support character is recommended.
If you notice that you are not surviving contents, pulling for sustain characters are recommended.
Mizuki Will Be Added To Standard Banner Soon
Once the Version 5.5 Update is out, Mizuki will become a Standard character and can be pulled any time. However, this will be her only banner where you can guarantee Mizuki until another Standard Character giveaway event happens.
Meta Recommendations Per Role
DPS Recommendation & Priority Based On Meta
| No. | DPS |
|---|---|
| 1 | - Wriothesley is a Cryo DPS that can be used as a Melt or Freeze/Mono Cryo DPS. He is able to use fast melee attacks to trigger reactions and increase his damage. - However, due to his self HP drain and Marechaussee Hunter being his BiS artifact set, Wriothesley needs a sustain support for survivability. - Newly released characters such as Mavuika, Citlali, & Xilonen are able to mitigate some previous issues in Wriothesley's gameplay. |
| 2 | - Mizuki will be added to Standard banner after Version 5.4. - Mizuki is the first Swirl-focused Anemo DPS. She has the unique ability of being able to increase Swirl DMG. - If you have good PECH sub-DPS characters, you can choose to pull for Mizuki but it's not recommended due to her being a Standard character after the 5.4 Update. |
Sub-DPS Recommendation & Priority Based On Meta
| No. | Sub-DPS |
|---|---|
| 1 | - Furina is one of the best sub-DPS characters in the game. - Her Salon Solitaire summons can switched between a damage dealing type or a healing type. └ Damage dealt by her summons are quite high and works amazingly with Pyro on-field DPS characters. - Aside from her potent sub-DPS ability, her Elemental Burst is one of the best damage buffs in the game. - Furina's gameplay requires a healer to be used together with her. Among the many healers in the game, Barbara is also given out for free early on. |
Support Recommendation & Priority Based On Meta
| Character | Supporting Description |
|---|---|
Furina | Works Well With: - Furina is a flexible support and Hydro sub-DPS. She uses the DMG increase buff from her Elemental Burst on her whole team. - The above characters do not necessarily represent the only characters Furina is compatible with. └ Furina can be paired with any DPS character. |
Sigewinne | Works Well With: - Sigewinne is a support and healer that can buff Elemental Skill DMG. Her healing and buff scales on her Max HP. - Sigewinne can be used as a decent 2nd Hydro character for Hydro reaction teams. └ She can also be a good source for Hydro application. |
For support, the priority is based on which characters do you have in your roster. Furina is the more flexible option while Sigewinne covers another niche and is also a healer.
If you are having a hard time deciding, pull based on your Preferences
At the end of the day, whoever you choose to get is up to you. Regardless of meta or character niches.You can try borrowing the characters at Imaginarium Theater Supporting Cast to see the characters in actual battle.
Play Character Demo to Test the Character
Still in a wait-and-see attitude? Try out the character's demo to experience their gameplay firsthand. This can help you decide if you want to include the character in your current teams or create a new team with them!
Pull For Weapon or Constellations
Weapon or Constellation Priority For Pulling
| Character | Priority Reason |
|---|---|
| Furina | Constellation - C2 - Furina's Signature Weapon can increase her own damage but F2P options like Festering Desire or the Fontaine Fishing Sword work fine for her. - Her Constellations are able to increase her Fanfare count & how fast you can get them. C2 can also increases her Max HP which is good for more damage from her summons. |
| Wriothesley | Constellation - C1 - Wriothesley's Signature Weapon can be prioritized after getting his first Constellation since C1 allows for a more consistent and powerful Charged Attack. - Since he is a Cryo character, his CRIT Rate is easily managed with access to Marechaussee set and with many great options in the standard pool such as Lost Prayer and Widsith for a good CR/CD ratio. |
| Sigewinne | Pull if you like her - Having Sigewinne is enough for the role she plays in teams. You can choose to pull for her weapon and/or Constellations if you like her. |
Version 5.4 Update comes with three (3) rerun banners for Furina, Wriothesley & Sigewinne. While both Furina and Wriothesley are really good with their signature weapons, the effects of their key Constellations are really good.
Banner Pulling Strategy & Scenarios - 5.2 Update
Things To Consider When Pulling
| 1 | Number of pulls & Primogems you can save/earn |
|---|---|
| 2 | Which banner/s you will pull |
| 3 | Your 5-star character status (50/50 or guaranteed) |
Plan Your Banners Depending On Your Pulls
If you are a purely free-to-play player, it is expected that you will not have enough pulls to get a guaranteed character for every character banner. Figure out which banners you want to pull from the start so you can plan ahead.
Do Not Build Pity On Banner With 5-Star Character You Do Not Want
It is best to save your pulls for banners wherein you really want a character. Do not build the pity count on banners you do not prefer and skip them instead. This could reset the pity count once you get a 5-star character from them.
Banner Scenarios & How To Plan Out Your Pulls

The number of pulls listed below is based on the current banner pity system wherein at 90 pulls, you are guaranteed to get a 5-star character. It is possible to require fewer pulls if you win your 50/50 or you get an early pity.
Scenario 1 - Will Pull On A Phase 1 Banner
| Description | Guaranteed Pulls |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed, 1 5-Star Character | 90 Pulls |
| 50/50, 1 5-Star Character | 180 Pulls |
| Guaranteed, 2 5-Star Character | 270 Pulls |
| 50/50, 2 5-Star Character | 360 Pulls |
If you plan on pulling for a banner in the First Phase, it is recommended that you choose only one character between the two. However, if you want two of the banner 5-Stars, keep trying since you do not have to save for another banner in the latter part of the update anyways.
Scenario 2 - Will Pull On A Phase 2 Banner
| Description | Guaranteed Pulls |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed, 1 5-Star Character | 90 Pulls |
| 50/50, 1 5-Star Character | 180 Pulls |
| Guaranteed, 2 5-Star Character | 270 Pulls |
| 50/50, 2 5-Star Character | 360 Pulls |
Before spending all of your Primogems during this phase, we recommend just gunning for one banner character first. With the next update coming right after this banner, it's best to know what the next banners are first before spending all of your Primogems on it.
Scenario 3 - Will Pull Both Phase 1 & Phase 2 Banners
| Description | Guaranteed Pulls |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed, 1 5-Star Character | 90 Pulls |
| 50/50, 1 5-Star Character | 180 Pulls |
| Guaranteed, 2 5-Star Character | 270 Pulls |
| 50/50, 2 5-Star Character | 360 Pulls |
| Guaranteed, 3 5-Star Character | 450 Pulls |
| 50/50, 3 5-Star Character | 540 Pulls |
| Guaranteed, 4 5-Star Character | 630 Pulls |
| 50/50, 4 5-Star Character | 720 Pulls |
If you plan on pulling in both banners, it is highly recommended that you just choose one 5-star from each banner phase. It is close to impossible to get all four 5-star characters without spending real money to get more Primogems.
