Summary

TLDRThis guide is designed to assist new players joining Genshin Impact, focusing on essential tips for beginners. It covers resource management, vital for leveling up characters and acquiring better gear. Resin is a crucial limited resource needed for character growth, capping at 160 and replenishing over time. Players should focus on leveling one main damage dealer before supporting characters due to limited resources. The guide emphasizes the importance of efficient use of fragile resin and prototype billets. Wishing, another highlight, involves acquiring characters and weapons through a gacha system, with understanding of its mechanics like pity and resource management being crucial. The guide warns against the weapon banner due to its high cost. Stamina can be increased by collecting Anemoculus and Geoculus and exchanging them at the Statue of the Seven. Additionally, participating in limited-time events, which offer generous rewards including free characters and weapons, is encouraged. New players are advised to ask questions and use resources such as community help or online maps for better gameplay.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video begins with the creator explaining why they made the guide. The goal is to give tips to new players of Genshin Impact, particularly those who are free-to-play or low spenders. The key advice is to manage resources wisely, as they are limited. Raising characters, leveling talents, and artifact enhancements require specific resources. Resin is also discussed as a critical limited resource that replenishes slowly and is needed for various in-game activities.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The focus shifts to advising players on which characters to level first. The recommendation is to build one main damage dealer and several supporting characters slowly over time, rather than trying to develop all characters simultaneously. The best characters for starting are often those who stay on the field longer and deal significant damage. Examples of ideal main characters and supports like Diona and Bennett are provided, with an emphasis on team-building.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The guide transitions into information about free characters and weapons available in the game, like Barbara and Xiangling. Xiangling, in particular, is highlighted for her powerful Pyronado ability. The process to unlock Xiangling through the Spiral Abyss is explained, encouraging players to progress to unlock valuable characters. Events providing free four-star characters and weapons are also mentioned.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    A strong emphasis is placed on participating in events for the rewards, which donโ€™t require resin. Events offer essential resources, including primo gems, character experience, and sometimes free characters or weapons. The creator stresses that engaging in these time-limited events maximizes the account's growth potential without monetary investment in the game.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    The guide advises players on hoarding specific resources such as prototype billets and fragile resin due to their rarity. The usage of resin is explained, and the importance of using resources wisely as players progress to higher adventure ranks is stressed. Players are encouraged to use resin for farming gold artifacts effectively at higher levels.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    Several crafting advices are given, including recommendations on which craftable four-star weapons are worth the resources. Players should save resources for potent weapons like the crescent pike or prototype archaic. Itโ€™s advised to save other consumable materials, such as enhancement ores and experience books, until they can maximize the benefit at higher levels.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:35:00

    Details on maximizing character and weapon levels efficiently are provided. The guide suggests leveling characters up to one level below their current maximum allowable level to allow passive experience gain. Recommendations also include the best times to farm for stronger items and understanding the benefit from higher world levels, emphasizing vitality management in gameplay.

  • 00:35:00 - 00:42:40

    The video concludes with an in-depth explanation of the wishing system, including character and weapon banners, pity systems, and why 5-star characters are not always better than 4-stars. It covers how the pity system works, the idea of saving intertwined fates for limited banners, and explains the trap of the weapon banner. Finally, the video advises players to utilize auxiliary resources like the in-game shop and daily check-in via the web for extra rewards.

    planning all the tips that i wanted to
  • 00:00:18
    include so i did my best to boil things
  • 00:00:20
    down to the things that were most
  • 00:00:23
    important for new players this guide is
  • 00:00:25
    also meant to be in the form of a free
  • 00:00:27
    to play or low spender perspective
  • 00:00:30
    because you really don't need to spend
  • 00:00:31
    anything on gention to clear the content
  • 00:00:34
    although it might seem like that
  • 00:00:35
    especially when you first start out
  • 00:00:37
    however you can make some mistakes that
  • 00:00:38
    will haunt you much later in the game i
  • 00:00:41
    know i made a bunch of these mistakes
  • 00:00:42
    when i first started so i want to help
  • 00:00:45
    you avoid these mistakes that might have
  • 00:00:46
    you bashing your head against the wall
  • 00:00:48
    much later so if you follow these tips
  • 00:00:50
    you have a strong foundation that you
  • 00:00:51
    can build upon so we'll start with the
  • 00:00:53
    first tip and it is the most important
  • 00:00:55
    to realize and to understand so the
  • 00:00:58
    number one tip i can give you which most
  • 00:01:00
    people don't understand until they're
  • 00:01:01
    much later in the game is that kenshin
  • 00:01:04
    impact is a game about resource
  • 00:01:06
    management so what does that mean it
  • 00:01:09
    means that every resource that you get
  • 00:01:11
    in gentian
  • 00:01:12
    is
  • 00:01:13
    very limited and you have to spend those
  • 00:01:16
    resources wisely in order to have a
  • 00:01:18
    great account if you want to level up a
  • 00:01:20
    character if you want to level their
  • 00:01:22
    talents if you want to give them better
  • 00:01:23
    artifacts if you want to level their
  • 00:01:24
    weapon it all requires specialized
  • 00:01:28
    limited resources that are going to be
  • 00:01:30
    hard to farm especially as you progress
  • 00:01:33
    in the game much later you want to level
  • 00:01:34
    up a character if you want to get more
  • 00:01:36
    currency or more if you want to get more
  • 00:01:38
    character talent books or character
  • 00:01:40
    experience books you're going to have to
  • 00:01:42
    use these special limited resources now
  • 00:01:44
    there's another limited resource called
  • 00:01:46
    resin and resin is how you acquire some
  • 00:01:49
    of these other limited resources resin
  • 00:01:51
    is needed for all activities in the game
  • 00:01:54
    associated with character growth whether
  • 00:01:56
    that's gaining more gaining experience
  • 00:01:58
    books fighting bosses doing talent
  • 00:02:01
    domains or weapon ascension domains or
  • 00:02:02
    artifact domains you're going to need
  • 00:02:04
    resin for all of it now your resin caps
  • 00:02:07
    at 160
  • 00:02:09
    and it replenishes
  • 00:02:11
    by one
  • 00:02:13
    every eight minutes so every eight
  • 00:02:14
    minutes you gain one resin various
  • 00:02:17
    activities in the game cost varying
  • 00:02:18
    amounts of resin ranging from typically
  • 00:02:21
    20 to 60 are the resident amounts that
  • 00:02:24
    you want to use on various activities
  • 00:02:26
    there's also another resin activity that
  • 00:02:28
    only costs 10 and it's crafting certain
  • 00:02:31
    ores but that's honestly a giant trap so
  • 00:02:33
    just avoid that entirely so whenever you
  • 00:02:35
    want to do one of these domains here
  • 00:02:38
    like for leveling character talents
  • 00:02:41
    or these domains here which are used for
  • 00:02:44
    ascending
  • 00:02:45
    weapons
  • 00:02:47
    or ley lines which will give you either
  • 00:02:50
    character books for experience or more
  • 00:02:53
    mora
  • 00:02:54
    or
  • 00:02:56
    world bosses
  • 00:02:58
    or weekly bosses you're going to need
  • 00:03:00
    resin and as you can see they vary in
  • 00:03:02
    costs these weapon enhancement domains
  • 00:03:05
    cost 20 resin
  • 00:03:08
    so do the character talent book domains
  • 00:03:12
    as well as the
  • 00:03:13
    mora and character experience book ley
  • 00:03:16
    lines doing world bosses costs 40 resin
  • 00:03:22
    and doing weekly bosses which you can
  • 00:03:24
    only do once per week
  • 00:03:26
    costs either 30 or 60 resin you get a
  • 00:03:30
    discount on the first three bosses that
  • 00:03:32
    you do so they only cost 30 resin and
  • 00:03:35
    then the remaining two weekly bosses
  • 00:03:37
    currently in the game will cost you 60.
  • 00:03:40
    and while you can fight the weekly
  • 00:03:41
    bosses as much as you want you can only
  • 00:03:44
    loot them once per week hence the name
  • 00:03:46
    so now you know the resources in the
  • 00:03:48
    game can be very limited and difficult
  • 00:03:50
    to replace
  • 00:03:51
    so how do you build an account
  • 00:03:54
    effectively and efficiently well the
  • 00:03:55
    first thing you do and definitely a
  • 00:03:57
    mistake i made was
  • 00:03:59
    don't level all the characters
  • 00:04:02
    simultaneously and to be completely
  • 00:04:04
    honest you'll be given a bunch of free
  • 00:04:05
    characters at the start of the game but
  • 00:04:07
    you really only want to focus on one
  • 00:04:10
    character build them well and then build
  • 00:04:12
    some supporting characters around them
  • 00:04:16
    eventually you're going to want to have
  • 00:04:17
    at least eight characters that are going
  • 00:04:19
    to be well built but when you're
  • 00:04:21
    starting out just focus on one there's
  • 00:04:23
    simply not enough resources available
  • 00:04:26
    for you to max out all the characters
  • 00:04:28
    especially at the beginning of the game
  • 00:04:30
    so focus on only a few characters and
  • 00:04:33
    max them out for your current world
  • 00:04:35
    level and adventure rank so then the
  • 00:04:37
    question becomes
  • 00:04:38
    who should you max out well like
  • 00:04:40
    everything in kenshin the answer is it
  • 00:04:42
    depends but generally it's pretty simple
  • 00:04:44
    you want to focus on a character that is
  • 00:04:47
    going to be doing the most damage and
  • 00:04:48
    staying on the field the longest
  • 00:04:51
    examples of these characters might
  • 00:04:52
    include daluk kaching razor ninguang or
  • 00:04:57
    yanfei once you've maxed your main
  • 00:04:59
    damage dealer's weapon and talents then
  • 00:05:02
    you can move on to your supporting
  • 00:05:03
    characters the whole purpose of a
  • 00:05:05
    supporting character is simply to
  • 00:05:07
    enhance whatever your main damage dealer
  • 00:05:09
    is doing whether that's by giving them a
  • 00:05:11
    shield healing them or increasing the
  • 00:05:13
    damage that they are doing already now
  • 00:05:16
    the best supports for you will vary
  • 00:05:18
    depending on what type of team you're
  • 00:05:19
    running but some of the universally
  • 00:05:21
    recognized best supports in the game are
  • 00:05:24
    diona
  • 00:05:26
    bennett
  • 00:05:27
    official
  • 00:05:29
    zhang ling
  • 00:05:30
    jincho
  • 00:05:31
    beto
  • 00:05:33
    and sucrose
  • 00:05:34
    these characters do a variety of things
  • 00:05:36
    to help you for example diana can
  • 00:05:38
    provide you a shield and heal you
  • 00:05:41
    bennett provides you a lot of energy and
  • 00:05:43
    just an insane attack buff while also
  • 00:05:45
    being a healer official summons a little
  • 00:05:48
    bird that shoots lightning and can do
  • 00:05:49
    all of her damage off-field jingchoo
  • 00:05:52
    summons some rain swords that deal a lot
  • 00:05:54
    of damage and can help vaporize zhang
  • 00:05:57
    ling does a ton of pyro damage and can
  • 00:06:00
    do it all off field and sucrose can
  • 00:06:02
    amplify the damage of all of your
  • 00:06:05
    elemental abilities except for geo and
  • 00:06:08
    animo
  • 00:06:09
    but since everyone has a lot of
  • 00:06:10
    different characters it's a really good
  • 00:06:12
    idea to see what characters you have
  • 00:06:14
    available and then figure out how you
  • 00:06:15
    can make the best team possible with the
  • 00:06:18
    characters you have now i know for a lot
  • 00:06:20
    of people building an entire team seems
  • 00:06:22
    like a daunting task especially when you
  • 00:06:24
    don't know how the game mechanics work
  • 00:06:26
    so if you need help building a team and
  • 00:06:28
    knowing who to invest in to carry you
  • 00:06:30
    for a long time feel free to ask me
  • 00:06:33
    questions leave a comment check out our
  • 00:06:35
    discord or catch me on stream and ask
  • 00:06:38
    what teams would be best for you
  • 00:06:39
    honestly one of the sections i cut from
  • 00:06:41
    this video is team building because
  • 00:06:43
    there are so many teams and so many
  • 00:06:44
    different combinations that you can run
  • 00:06:47
    it was just way too much information
  • 00:06:49
    team building can honestly be two whole
  • 00:06:51
    videos by itself because there's just so
  • 00:06:53
    many combinations of characters and
  • 00:06:55
    teams you can build so i didn't want to
  • 00:06:57
    bog you down especially when you're
  • 00:06:58
    first starting out but if you do have
  • 00:07:00
    questions regarding team building i
  • 00:07:02
    would be happy to answer them for you i
  • 00:07:04
    can tell you what characters will go
  • 00:07:06
    best with the characters you like the
  • 00:07:07
    most what weapons artifacts and
  • 00:07:11
    talents you should take them to as well
  • 00:07:13
    as how the team will work in general if
  • 00:07:15
    you're wondering about that don't be
  • 00:07:17
    afraid to ask while i am a shark i
  • 00:07:18
    promise i don't bite now speaking of
  • 00:07:21
    characters the game will actually give
  • 00:07:22
    you free 4 star characters the first of
  • 00:07:25
    which is a
  • 00:07:26
    nun
  • 00:07:27
    and idol named barbara to get barbara
  • 00:07:30
    you just need to be adventure rank 18
  • 00:07:32
    and do a simple quest barbara is a hydro
  • 00:07:37
    or water based healer that's really all
  • 00:07:40
    she does is healing and honestly early
  • 00:07:42
    in the game she's pretty useful however
  • 00:07:45
    i would not recommend leveling barbara
  • 00:07:47
    past 60 because you will definitely
  • 00:07:49
    outgrow her besides a few mechanics in
  • 00:07:52
    the game healing is really not that
  • 00:07:54
    necessary and oftentimes you're trading
  • 00:07:56
    healing for more damage so typically you
  • 00:07:59
    want more damage rather than more
  • 00:08:01
    healing especially in the very difficult
  • 00:08:03
    parts of the game another free character
  • 00:08:05
    the game gives you is xiang ling now
  • 00:08:07
    sean ling is actually one of the most
  • 00:08:09
    broken characters in the game and
  • 00:08:11
    everyone can get xingling for free the
  • 00:08:13
    main reason chongling is so good is
  • 00:08:15
    because of her elemental burst he
  • 00:08:17
    creates a giant fire wheel that spins
  • 00:08:19
    around you and this not only has really
  • 00:08:21
    good damage scaling but it also ignores
  • 00:08:24
    certain mechanics that other damage
  • 00:08:26
    dealers have to abide by the gist of it
  • 00:08:29
    is zhongling's pyronato can trigger an
  • 00:08:31
    elemental reaction on every single hit
  • 00:08:34
    other damage dealers typically have to
  • 00:08:35
    wait about two seconds before they can
  • 00:08:37
    trigger a subsequent elemental reaction
  • 00:08:40
    where zhongling can trigger multiple
  • 00:08:42
    elemental reactions in the same time it
  • 00:08:44
    would take them so the tldr is that
  • 00:08:46
    jongling is a free character and she's
  • 00:08:48
    really really good so let's tell you how
  • 00:08:50
    to get her so the way you get gently is
  • 00:08:53
    actually pretty simple first you need to
  • 00:08:55
    be adventure rank 20 and then you're
  • 00:08:57
    going to want to teleport to this ridge
  • 00:09:00
    over here on cape oath
  • 00:09:04
    once you make your way over here you'll
  • 00:09:06
    fight a few enemies solve a simple
  • 00:09:07
    puzzle
  • 00:09:08
    and you'll see this thing on the map
  • 00:09:09
    that looks like a sort of purple black
  • 00:09:12
    hole once you solve this puzzle to
  • 00:09:14
    create a little wind updraft that you
  • 00:09:15
    can simply glide up into
  • 00:09:21
    and you'll be teleported to this little
  • 00:09:23
    island called musk reef if you make a
  • 00:09:25
    quick little turn here and go towards
  • 00:09:27
    this gate
  • 00:09:28
    you will unlock the spiral abyss
  • 00:09:34
    now there's multiple floors on the
  • 00:09:35
    spiral abyss and the enemies get harder
  • 00:09:37
    as you go up each floor but to get
  • 00:09:39
    jungling you only need to beat floor 3.
  • 00:09:42
    so floor 3 chamber 3 has level 45
  • 00:09:46
    enemies so it might be a little bit of a
  • 00:09:48
    challenge for you at first but you can
  • 00:09:50
    definitely do it and the prize at the
  • 00:09:53
    end is definitely worthwhile not only
  • 00:09:55
    will you get zhong ling but
  • 00:09:58
    you will also get a bunch of primo gems
  • 00:10:01
    and
  • 00:10:02
    other rewards
  • 00:10:04
    for completing either three six or nine
  • 00:10:07
    stars in the spiral abyss and you get
  • 00:10:10
    each of these star ratings based on how
  • 00:10:12
    much time you have left
  • 00:10:14
    at the end
  • 00:10:16
    so think of this as sort of a to feed
  • 00:10:18
    all the monsters in sort of a time
  • 00:10:20
    attack fashion in addition to zhong ling
  • 00:10:23
    and barbara the game will also give you
  • 00:10:25
    other free four-star characters but
  • 00:10:27
    those are going to be based on events
  • 00:10:29
    and we'll cover events later however the
  • 00:10:31
    game will also give you free 4-star
  • 00:10:33
    weapons and there's several of them in
  • 00:10:35
    the game one is the fivonious warbo that
  • 00:10:37
    you get from adventure rank 18 i believe
  • 00:10:40
    and just completing a simple quest
  • 00:10:42
    another is the prototype wrong core
  • 00:10:44
    which is a weapon that you will get just
  • 00:10:46
    as you play through the game you won't
  • 00:10:47
    really have to go looking for it or do
  • 00:10:49
    anything special to get it however there
  • 00:10:51
    are a few other weapons that you can get
  • 00:10:53
    that are a little bit more hidden and
  • 00:10:55
    require a little bit more effort the
  • 00:10:57
    first of which is the snow tuned star
  • 00:11:00
    silver this is a great sword that you
  • 00:11:02
    can get in dragon spine and there's a
  • 00:11:04
    quest chain that you have to do and once
  • 00:11:06
    you do it
  • 00:11:07
    this sword will be stuck in a little
  • 00:11:09
    area that you have to unlock and you
  • 00:11:11
    just pick it up and you will not only
  • 00:11:13
    get the sword but a blueprint for it as
  • 00:11:14
    well the other four star is the catch
  • 00:11:17
    and this is a really really good spear
  • 00:11:19
    also a very very good spear for zhong
  • 00:11:21
    ling and it is completely free it is
  • 00:11:24
    tied to fishing and you have to go to
  • 00:11:26
    inazuma so you have to unlock in azuma
  • 00:11:29
    and then you unlock a special quest you
  • 00:11:31
    catch a bunch of fish and then you can
  • 00:11:33
    get this polar for free called the catch
  • 00:11:36
    and just like other characters that you
  • 00:11:38
    can get from events you can also get
  • 00:11:40
    four star weapons for free
  • 00:11:42
    from certain events as well so let's
  • 00:11:44
    talk about the events now the next tip
  • 00:11:46
    is simply do the events while they're
  • 00:11:48
    available the rewards are usually really
  • 00:11:51
    good and you don't need any resin to do
  • 00:11:53
    them they typically will give you primo
  • 00:11:55
    gems mora and just about every other
  • 00:11:58
    resource in the game for free while also
  • 00:12:01
    sometimes giving you either a free
  • 00:12:03
    character or a free four-star weapon
  • 00:12:05
    these three four-star characters and
  • 00:12:06
    weapons will rotate every patch so we'll
  • 00:12:09
    get one free four star character one
  • 00:12:10
    patch and then the next patch will get a
  • 00:12:12
    free four star weapon and then after
  • 00:12:14
    that'll be a free four star character
  • 00:12:16
    then a free weapon so on and so forth
  • 00:12:18
    since the events are time limited and
  • 00:12:20
    they give really good rewards it's
  • 00:12:22
    definitely worth doing and getting your
  • 00:12:24
    adventuring up to the minimum required
  • 00:12:26
    level to do those events so that you can
  • 00:12:28
    get the best rewards since they're not
  • 00:12:30
    going to come back because i followed
  • 00:12:32
    the first tip of having good resource
  • 00:12:33
    management as well as doing all of these
  • 00:12:35
    events and saving kind of hoarding a
  • 00:12:37
    bunch of resources if i'm honest that's
  • 00:12:39
    the reason why i have over 24 million
  • 00:12:41
    maura 1900 experience books and over 4
  • 00:12:46
    500 mystic enhancement ores i also have
  • 00:12:49
    several five star characters and have
  • 00:12:52
    been able to clear the hardest content
  • 00:12:54
    in the game consistently without having
  • 00:12:56
    to spend virtually anything on the game
  • 00:12:58
    in the last six months or so but i
  • 00:13:01
    wouldn't have got there without the
  • 00:13:02
    resources that i was able to get from
  • 00:13:04
    those limited events so it's definitely
  • 00:13:06
    worth doing because sometimes those
  • 00:13:09
    events can make or break your account
  • 00:13:11
    and give you the resources that you
  • 00:13:13
    desperately need now when it comes to
  • 00:13:15
    resources you want to hoard there's
  • 00:13:16
    definitely some that you don't want to
  • 00:13:18
    spend unless you're absolutely sure that
  • 00:13:21
    you are getting what you want and the
  • 00:13:23
    main ones i'm talking about are these
  • 00:13:25
    these are the prototype
  • 00:13:27
    billets and they drop from weekly bosses
  • 00:13:30
    but the drop rate on them is abysmally
  • 00:13:33
    low i've been playing for
  • 00:13:34
    just about a year and i don't have any
  • 00:13:37
    of these in like double digits yet and i
  • 00:13:39
    do these bosses every week i've probably
  • 00:13:41
    fought over 200 weekly bosses and only
  • 00:13:44
    have
  • 00:13:45
    roughly 30 of these prototypes so
  • 00:13:48
    another big tip is make sure you only
  • 00:13:50
    craft those craftable four star weapons
  • 00:13:53
    if you really really want them and to be
  • 00:13:55
    perfectly honest there's only a few that
  • 00:13:57
    are actually really good and really
  • 00:13:59
    worth it so let me go over which weapons
  • 00:14:01
    are actually worth crafting really
  • 00:14:02
    quickly the first one is this one it is
  • 00:14:04
    crescent pike this is for a physical
  • 00:14:07
    pole arm user the reason it's really
  • 00:14:08
    good is because this description right
  • 00:14:10
    here after picking up an elemental orbit
  • 00:14:12
    particle normal charge attack would deal
  • 00:14:14
    an additional damage equal to twenty
  • 00:14:15
    percent of attack for five seconds what
  • 00:14:17
    that sounds like is that you just deal
  • 00:14:19
    additional damage but what actually
  • 00:14:20
    happens is you deal additional hits and
  • 00:14:23
    most poll arm characters deal multiple
  • 00:14:25
    hits on their swings so what this means
  • 00:14:28
    is that if a character hits four times
  • 00:14:30
    in one attack then they're going to have
  • 00:14:32
    an additional four attacks when this
  • 00:14:35
    passive procs so it's a really really
  • 00:14:37
    good weapon
  • 00:14:38
    probably one of the best ones in the
  • 00:14:41
    game as far as crafting weapons go
  • 00:14:43
    another really good one to craft is this
  • 00:14:45
    one this is the prototype archaic it is
  • 00:14:47
    a claymore or great sword and it's just
  • 00:14:51
    a very solid weapon overall it's passive
  • 00:14:54
    secondary stat increases your attack
  • 00:14:56
    percent and on hit you can deal up to
  • 00:14:59
    240 percent of your attack damage in a
  • 00:15:01
    small aoe which can occur once every 15
  • 00:15:04
    seconds just a really good damaging
  • 00:15:06
    sword overall if you don't have a four
  • 00:15:08
    star claymore and you want a good option
  • 00:15:10
    this is a very good reliable option for
  • 00:15:12
    you and finally you won't see this one
  • 00:15:14
    until much later but this is a sword
  • 00:15:16
    from innozuma it's called the
  • 00:15:18
    aminomakageuchi and it is a really good
  • 00:15:21
    sword for a few specific characters
  • 00:15:23
    basically what this passive does is
  • 00:15:25
    every time you use an elemental skill
  • 00:15:27
    you gain a seed when you gain three
  • 00:15:28
    seeds and you use an elemental burst
  • 00:15:31
    you're refunded a certain amount of
  • 00:15:32
    energy and the amount you're funded
  • 00:15:34
    varies upon refinement but you can get
  • 00:15:36
    back between 18 and 36 energy which is
  • 00:15:40
    really good particularly for characters
  • 00:15:41
    that may have a little bit of energy
  • 00:15:43
    issues
  • 00:15:45
    and that just means that with this sword
  • 00:15:46
    you can be bursting a lot more
  • 00:15:48
    frequently however if you don't want to
  • 00:15:50
    craft any of these weapons right away or
  • 00:15:52
    if none of these look really appealing
  • 00:15:54
    to you then just save your prototypes
  • 00:15:56
    don't use them maybe a really really
  • 00:15:58
    good weapon will come out later down the
  • 00:16:00
    line and you want to have those
  • 00:16:01
    available because they are so rare and
  • 00:16:04
    so difficult to obtain the item you want
  • 00:16:06
    to hoard are these
  • 00:16:08
    these are fragile resins and what they
  • 00:16:11
    do is you click on them and they just
  • 00:16:13
    instantly give you 60 resin now you'll
  • 00:16:16
    get these as you level up and complete
  • 00:16:18
    certain quests and certain objectives
  • 00:16:20
    but they are very rare and they are
  • 00:16:22
    consumable finite item because they are
  • 00:16:25
    very rare and consumable you want to
  • 00:16:28
    save these until you're a much higher
  • 00:16:30
    adventure rank at least adventure rank
  • 00:16:32
    45 and unlocked world level 6 that way
  • 00:16:35
    you can start farming gold artifacts and
  • 00:16:37
    if you want to
  • 00:16:38
    use the fragile resin because artifact
  • 00:16:41
    rng
  • 00:16:42
    kind of hates us all then that would be
  • 00:16:44
    a good point to use them at but if you
  • 00:16:46
    use them any earlier you might be
  • 00:16:47
    kicking yourself for using such a
  • 00:16:49
    valuable and unreplenishable resource
  • 00:16:52
    other resources you may want to consider
  • 00:16:54
    hoarding are these purple experience
  • 00:16:56
    books these are called heroes wits the
  • 00:16:58
    reason you might want to hoard these is
  • 00:16:59
    because once you get into the higher
  • 00:17:02
    levels of the game where your characters
  • 00:17:03
    are 60 plus
  • 00:17:05
    these other books you get like the
  • 00:17:07
    adventurers experience or the green
  • 00:17:09
    books which i don't even have anymore
  • 00:17:11
    those aren't really going to cut it for
  • 00:17:12
    leveling up and you're pretty much only
  • 00:17:13
    going to want to use these so it's a
  • 00:17:15
    good idea not to use these purple books
  • 00:17:17
    early on and just stick to using the
  • 00:17:19
    blue books and the green books and then
  • 00:17:21
    when you run out of those then switch to
  • 00:17:23
    the purple ones since you're going to be
  • 00:17:24
    needing these a lot to level up higher
  • 00:17:27
    level characters it makes sense to kind
  • 00:17:29
    of save them early on and then just use
  • 00:17:31
    the other books for your lower level
  • 00:17:33
    characters now in a similar vein we have
  • 00:17:36
    enhanced manure we've got mystic
  • 00:17:37
    enhanced manure fine enhanced manure and
  • 00:17:39
    just normal enhancement ore when you
  • 00:17:41
    start the game you're going to come
  • 00:17:42
    across a bunch of white weapons maybe
  • 00:17:44
    some green weapons and then eventually
  • 00:17:46
    you find some blue weapons and these
  • 00:17:47
    will probably be the ones you get fairly
  • 00:17:49
    early on that you want to put on your
  • 00:17:50
    characters however you want to build
  • 00:17:52
    towards using four star weapons for all
  • 00:17:55
    of your characters and you will
  • 00:17:56
    eventually get enough to at least equip
  • 00:17:59
    the main characters you want with
  • 00:18:00
    four-star weapons and of course there's
  • 00:18:02
    also events which will give you free
  • 00:18:04
    four-star weapons as well so when you're
  • 00:18:05
    leveling up your weapons you want to use
  • 00:18:08
    these enhanced manures and fine-enhanced
  • 00:18:10
    manures first along with these white
  • 00:18:12
    weapons which you can throw in to level
  • 00:18:14
    them up and then you want to hoard these
  • 00:18:16
    mystic enhancement ores the reason for
  • 00:18:18
    this is these mystic enhanced manures
  • 00:18:19
    are going to be the main source of your
  • 00:18:21
    weapon experience so you want to try and
  • 00:18:23
    accumulate them as much as possible and
  • 00:18:25
    only use them for weapons that you want
  • 00:18:27
    to use on the characters that you want
  • 00:18:29
    to use so just like with characters it's
  • 00:18:31
    not a good idea to use these to try and
  • 00:18:32
    level every weapon instead just focus on
  • 00:18:35
    a few weapons at a time use the mystic
  • 00:18:37
    enhancement or to get those up to make
  • 00:18:39
    your characters that you're using
  • 00:18:40
    stronger and then save these for other
  • 00:18:42
    weapons that you get that are really
  • 00:18:44
    really nice the reason you kind of want
  • 00:18:45
    to save and hoard these is because it
  • 00:18:47
    takes several hundred of these to get a
  • 00:18:50
    weapon from
  • 00:18:51
    level one to level 90 which is the max
  • 00:18:54
    so you're definitely going to want to
  • 00:18:55
    save them and that way when you do get a
  • 00:18:57
    really good weapon you can just funnel
  • 00:18:59
    all those resources into it get it from
  • 00:19:01
    level 1 to level 90 and boom you've got
  • 00:19:03
    a great weapon right off the bat or you
  • 00:19:05
    can be like me when i first started and
  • 00:19:07
    funnel these all into weapons that you
  • 00:19:09
    won't use and that you'll out level
  • 00:19:11
    pretty quickly and then you don't have
  • 00:19:13
    anything to throw into a new weapon that
  • 00:19:15
    you want to level up the next thing we
  • 00:19:17
    should talk about is leveling up
  • 00:19:19
    characters and level cap so when you
  • 00:19:21
    start the game you'll be kept at max
  • 00:19:24
    levels depending on your world level as
  • 00:19:26
    you play the game your world level will
  • 00:19:28
    increase and thus your character's
  • 00:19:29
    maximum level will increase as well the
  • 00:19:31
    maximum world level is 8 and the maximum
  • 00:19:34
    character level is 90 but you'll be
  • 00:19:36
    restricted from reaching that when you
  • 00:19:38
    first start because of this it's likely
  • 00:19:40
    that you're going to run into a point
  • 00:19:42
    where your characters can be capped at
  • 00:19:44
    the maximum level but you can't ascend
  • 00:19:46
    them until you get to a higher world
  • 00:19:48
    level which is dependent on your
  • 00:19:50
    adventure rank because of this it's a
  • 00:19:51
    good idea to get a character one level
  • 00:19:54
    below your current maximum level so for
  • 00:19:57
    example at world level 2 or adventure
  • 00:19:59
    rank 25 the maximum level for any
  • 00:20:02
    character is 50 but once they get to 50
  • 00:20:05
    they don't gain any more experience
  • 00:20:07
    until you ascend them and you can't
  • 00:20:09
    ascend them until you're world level 3
  • 00:20:11
    or adventure rank 30. so in this
  • 00:20:14
    situation it's best to get them to level
  • 00:20:16
    49 until you can reach the next
  • 00:20:18
    milestone and now your new level cap
  • 00:20:21
    instead of 50 will be 60. this way while
  • 00:20:25
    they're level 49 they can passively gain
  • 00:20:27
    experience then once you reach the next
  • 00:20:29
    milestone or next world level you can
  • 00:20:31
    level them up to 50 automatically ascend
  • 00:20:35
    them then level them up to 59 passively
  • 00:20:37
    gain experience and then ascend them
  • 00:20:39
    again once your world level increases
  • 00:20:41
    even further now just like everything
  • 00:20:42
    else in the game your world level is
  • 00:20:44
    actually associated with resource
  • 00:20:46
    management in short reaching specific
  • 00:20:49
    higher world levels will guarantee you
  • 00:20:51
    certain drops so it's a good idea to
  • 00:20:53
    understand where that is otherwise you
  • 00:20:55
    could be spending valuable resources
  • 00:20:56
    early and then not getting the best
  • 00:20:58
    benefit or the best bang for your resin
  • 00:21:01
    i'll post a picture on the screen of the
  • 00:21:03
    world level and what drops at which
  • 00:21:05
    corresponding level but the most
  • 00:21:07
    important thing to realize is that 5
  • 00:21:09
    star artifacts start becoming guaranteed
  • 00:21:11
    at world level 6 which you can unlock at
  • 00:21:14
    venture rank 45 so you really want to
  • 00:21:17
    wait to farm artifacts until you hit
  • 00:21:19
    adventure rank 45 and then unlock world
  • 00:21:22
    level 6. another thing that can be very
  • 00:21:24
    helpful in the beginning of the game is
  • 00:21:26
    using a geo and animo sigils there are
  • 00:21:29
    vendors in liwa and monstat respectively
  • 00:21:31
    that will exchange a bunch of items that
  • 00:21:33
    will help you boost your characters and
  • 00:21:35
    power them up early when you exchange
  • 00:21:38
    these sigils for those items including
  • 00:21:41
    things here like the prototypes which
  • 00:21:45
    you can see i've already bought you get
  • 00:21:46
    these sigils from treasure chests and
  • 00:21:48
    other things and as you can see you can
  • 00:21:50
    only buy a certain amount of each item
  • 00:21:53
    however when you do have extra sigils
  • 00:21:55
    you can always exchange them for mora
  • 00:21:57
    which is a good idea to do after you've
  • 00:21:59
    already bought out the rest of the shop
  • 00:22:03
    now another thing you may notice is that
  • 00:22:05
    when i run i have a stamina bar that's
  • 00:22:07
    fairly large and probably much larger
  • 00:22:09
    than yours especially if you're first
  • 00:22:11
    starting out you gain more stamina by
  • 00:22:13
    finding animoculus and g-oculus in
  • 00:22:17
    monstat and leeway respectively and then
  • 00:22:20
    going to the statue of the seven and
  • 00:22:22
    exchanging either the animoculus and
  • 00:22:26
    monstet or the g-oculus in leeway as for
  • 00:22:29
    the best ways to find these
  • 00:22:31
    really just look up a gentian
  • 00:22:34
    interactive map it will have the
  • 00:22:35
    locations of each of them as well as how
  • 00:22:37
    to get those specific animoculus or
  • 00:22:39
    g-oculus and then what you can do is you
  • 00:22:41
    can see i have a bunch of pins right
  • 00:22:43
    here marked along the map these little
  • 00:22:45
    things in white these are like pickaxes
  • 00:22:47
    something that looks like a little bit
  • 00:22:48
    of meat or like a monster symbol
  • 00:22:50
    whenever you find an animoculus or
  • 00:22:52
    g-oculus you can just click here
  • 00:22:54
    take one of these pins mark it and say
  • 00:22:56
    found an imoculus found g oculus that
  • 00:22:59
    way you know which ones you found and
  • 00:23:01
    then you can just delete them later and
  • 00:23:02
    the reason it's a good idea to keep
  • 00:23:04
    track of all the animoculi and g oculi
  • 00:23:07
    is because there are 65 animoculi and
  • 00:23:11
    131
  • 00:23:13
    g oculi however there is actually a few
  • 00:23:15
    extra as you can see i have one extra
  • 00:23:17
    deoculus here but my statue is the max
  • 00:23:21
    level so once you level up your statue
  • 00:23:24
    in monstat to level 10 and your statue
  • 00:23:27
    in leeway to level 10 you will be able
  • 00:23:29
    to get the maximum amount of stamina
  • 00:23:31
    which is 240 that will make traversing
  • 00:23:34
    the world and other content like abyss
  • 00:23:37
    much easier because you're not going to
  • 00:23:38
    be as starved for stamina now the next
  • 00:23:40
    thing to talk about is the serena teapot
  • 00:23:43
    this is essentially player housing and a
  • 00:23:45
    lot of players thought it was kind of
  • 00:23:47
    fluff at first but it can actually be
  • 00:23:49
    something that's really valuable the
  • 00:23:51
    reason it's really valuable is because
  • 00:23:52
    inside the serenity pot there is
  • 00:23:54
    something called the realm depot and
  • 00:23:56
    after unlocking certain levels in your
  • 00:23:58
    teapot you can exchange your coins that
  • 00:24:01
    you passively acquire for a lot of good
  • 00:24:04
    items one of the best ones is something
  • 00:24:06
    called transient resin which is
  • 00:24:07
    essentially like a fragile resin but it
  • 00:24:09
    has a time limit so it will give you 60
  • 00:24:12
    original resin as soon as you use it and
  • 00:24:14
    you can buy this once a week however you
  • 00:24:16
    can also get a lot of other good things
  • 00:24:18
    such as mystic enhancement words heroes
  • 00:24:21
    wits mora
  • 00:24:22
    and these sanctifying essence and
  • 00:24:25
    sanctifying unctions which are used to
  • 00:24:28
    increase artifact experience surrender
  • 00:24:31
    teapot also has these special sets as
  • 00:24:34
    you can see they require a lot of
  • 00:24:35
    different materials but you can invite
  • 00:24:38
    your characters onto the special set and
  • 00:24:40
    then they will give you a bunch of
  • 00:24:42
    rewards including primo gems so the
  • 00:24:45
    teapot might seem like a little bit of
  • 00:24:46
    fluff and a little bit of fun but it
  • 00:24:48
    will actually give you a lot of good
  • 00:24:50
    rewards as well and next we get to
  • 00:24:52
    wishing now this is a major part of the
  • 00:24:54
    game so it's really important to
  • 00:24:56
    understand how it works especially if
  • 00:24:57
    you're new to gotcha games you'll
  • 00:24:58
    definitely want to pay attention to this
  • 00:25:00
    section wishing is the major reason why
  • 00:25:02
    people will spend thousands of dollars
  • 00:25:04
    on this game because the chance of
  • 00:25:06
    getting a 5 star character or the
  • 00:25:08
    character you want is really low the
  • 00:25:10
    chance of getting a 5 star character is
  • 00:25:12
    a measly 0.6
  • 00:25:15
    however there are ways to guarantee a
  • 00:25:18
    character or weapon which we will cover
  • 00:25:20
    but first it's important to understand
  • 00:25:22
    the three types of banners that you can
  • 00:25:24
    wish on the first banner you can wish on
  • 00:25:26
    is the limited character banner on the
  • 00:25:28
    limited character banner you have a
  • 00:25:30
    fifty percent chance to get the featured
  • 00:25:33
    limited five star remember that the
  • 00:25:35
    overall chance to get any five star is
  • 00:25:37
    only 0.6 percent chance but you have a
  • 00:25:40
    50 chance to get the featured limited 5
  • 00:25:43
    star so you've got a 0.3 chance to get
  • 00:25:46
    the limited character on any one roll if
  • 00:25:49
    you wish until you get a 5 star
  • 00:25:50
    character but you don't get the featured
  • 00:25:54
    5 star character you instead get a
  • 00:25:56
    standard 5 star character these standard
  • 00:25:58
    5 star characters are deluxe mona jean
  • 00:26:02
    chichi and kaching now if you get a
  • 00:26:05
    standard 5 star character the next time
  • 00:26:08
    you get a 5 star character on this
  • 00:26:10
    limited banner you will be guaranteed to
  • 00:26:12
    get the featured character so for
  • 00:26:15
    example let's say i rolled on the
  • 00:26:16
    spanner and i wish and wish and wish and
  • 00:26:18
    do a bunch of wishes and 40 50 60 in
  • 00:26:20
    finally i end up getting a 5 star
  • 00:26:22
    character but it's not the featured
  • 00:26:24
    character kokomi it's another character
  • 00:26:27
    mona
  • 00:26:28
    the next time i get a 5 star character
  • 00:26:30
    it will be guaranteed to be kokomi so
  • 00:26:33
    that may be another 50 or 60 wishes in
  • 00:26:35
    maybe another even 80 or up to 90 wishes
  • 00:26:38
    in before i get kokomi in that scenario
  • 00:26:41
    now it's also important to note that the
  • 00:26:42
    number of roles you made and whether you
  • 00:26:44
    got a
  • 00:26:46
    standard five star or a limited five
  • 00:26:49
    star will carry over on from one banner
  • 00:26:52
    to the next so for example i wished on
  • 00:26:55
    the ryden shogun limited character
  • 00:26:57
    banner and i kept rolling until i got a
  • 00:26:59
    five star and the five star that i got
  • 00:27:01
    was gene and jean is one of the standard
  • 00:27:04
    five star units that means if i kept
  • 00:27:06
    rolling on this banner until i got
  • 00:27:07
    another 5 star that 5 star character
  • 00:27:10
    would be guaranteed to be the ride in
  • 00:27:12
    shogun and that is exactly what happened
  • 00:27:14
    about 13 pages of rolling later so 13
  • 00:27:18
    pages or roughly 70 wishes later i ended
  • 00:27:20
    up getting the ride in shogun now let's
  • 00:27:22
    say i got jean but i didn't roll any
  • 00:27:24
    more on the ride in shogun banner and a
  • 00:27:27
    few weeks later there's the kokomi
  • 00:27:29
    banner so kokomi's limited character
  • 00:27:31
    banner comes out and i roll until i get
  • 00:27:34
    a 5 star since my previous 5 star was
  • 00:27:36
    jean i am guaranteed to get kokomi it
  • 00:27:39
    doesn't matter that i got jean on the
  • 00:27:41
    previous character's limited banner
  • 00:27:43
    because this 5050 will carry over and
  • 00:27:47
    not reset between limited character
  • 00:27:49
    banners you'll also see that this banner
  • 00:27:53
    has four star characters on the right
  • 00:27:54
    side and they all have increased rate
  • 00:27:57
    ups which means you have a greater
  • 00:27:58
    chance of getting them but there's
  • 00:28:00
    actually no guarantees of getting any of
  • 00:28:02
    these 4 stars so let's talk about how
  • 00:28:04
    you can guarantee yourself a 5 star
  • 00:28:06
    character even though there's only a 0.6
  • 00:28:09
    chance of getting a 5 star character at
  • 00:28:11
    any time on this limited character
  • 00:28:13
    banner you can guarantee yourself a 5
  • 00:28:16
    star character by wishing 90 times the
  • 00:28:19
    game has something called a pity system
  • 00:28:21
    which gradually increases your chances
  • 00:28:23
    of getting a 5 star on this limited
  • 00:28:25
    character banner after 75 wishes and
  • 00:28:28
    then guarantees it on the 90th wish
  • 00:28:31
    because people have an increased chance
  • 00:28:33
    to get a character after 75 wishes they
  • 00:28:36
    call this a soft pity while they're
  • 00:28:39
    guaranteed to get it on 90 they call it
  • 00:28:42
    the hard pity again keep in mind that if
  • 00:28:44
    you want a limited character you need to
  • 00:28:47
    win the five star character and
  • 00:28:49
    win the 50 chance of getting the limited
  • 00:28:52
    character this means that if luck is not
  • 00:28:54
    on your side you could spend 180 wishes
  • 00:28:58
    or 28 800 primo gems for a single copy
  • 00:29:02
    of a limited character however 4 stars
  • 00:29:05
    have a hard pity of 10 meaning you only
  • 00:29:07
    need to make 10 wishes to get a 4 star
  • 00:29:09
    character but again even though they
  • 00:29:11
    have raid ups on specific characters on
  • 00:29:14
    this banner doesn't mean you're
  • 00:29:15
    guaranteed any of them now the next
  • 00:29:17
    banner you'll want to know about is the
  • 00:29:19
    weapon banner
  • 00:29:21
    the first thing to know about the weapon
  • 00:29:22
    banner is that it is a giant trap now
  • 00:29:25
    you see something down at the bottom
  • 00:29:26
    left that looks kind of like a little
  • 00:29:28
    baby face and it says zero of two the
  • 00:29:30
    weapon banner allows you to choose which
  • 00:29:32
    weapon you want because there's two
  • 00:29:34
    featured five stars and four featured
  • 00:29:37
    four stars unlike the character banners
  • 00:29:39
    you have to lose the weapon banner twice
  • 00:29:42
    before you can guarantee the weapon you
  • 00:29:44
    want meaning that you could get 2 5 star
  • 00:29:46
    weapons that you either don't want or
  • 00:29:48
    don't have a use for before you get the
  • 00:29:49
    weapon that you really want and this is
  • 00:29:51
    the reason it's a giant trap it's the
  • 00:29:53
    equivalent of spending hundreds of
  • 00:29:54
    dollars of primo gems and is really only
  • 00:29:57
    there for the whales the weapon banner
  • 00:29:59
    has a soft pity of around 65 and a hard
  • 00:30:02
    pity or guaranteed 5 star weapon at 80
  • 00:30:05
    wishes meaning that you'll have
  • 00:30:06
    increased chance of getting a five-star
  • 00:30:08
    weapon around 65 wishes and are
  • 00:30:10
    guaranteed to get some sort of five-star
  • 00:30:12
    weapon at 80 wishes so again if luck
  • 00:30:14
    isn't favoring you you'd have to make
  • 00:30:16
    240 wishes or spend 38
  • 00:30:20
    400 primo gems just to get the weapon
  • 00:30:23
    you want it's also important to note
  • 00:30:24
    that this five-star weapon pity system
  • 00:30:26
    does not carry over into new weapon
  • 00:30:29
    banners like the character pity does
  • 00:30:31
    meaning that if you fill up this zero of
  • 00:30:33
    two with two points and then a new
  • 00:30:36
    weapon banner comes out it will reset
  • 00:30:39
    again to zero meaning you'd have to do
  • 00:30:40
    the whole thing all over again that's
  • 00:30:42
    another reason it's a giant trap so we
  • 00:30:44
    move on to the third and final banner
  • 00:30:46
    the normal banner or standard wish the
  • 00:30:49
    tl dr on this banner is that you don't
  • 00:30:50
    want to spend any primo gems on it and
  • 00:30:52
    that's for a couple of reasons the first
  • 00:30:54
    and most important reason is that this
  • 00:30:56
    banner is not going anywhere it will
  • 00:30:58
    always be available and there's no time
  • 00:31:00
    limit unlike the character and weapon
  • 00:31:04
    banners the second reason is you can
  • 00:31:06
    only get standard 5 star characters and
  • 00:31:08
    standard 5 star weapons from this banner
  • 00:31:10
    in addition to the normal 3 stars and 4
  • 00:31:13
    stars however you can't choose what
  • 00:31:15
    you're going to get you can't choose if
  • 00:31:17
    you're going to get a character or a
  • 00:31:18
    weapon it's basically all random now the
  • 00:31:21
    third reason why you don't want to spend
  • 00:31:22
    any primo gems on this is that you get
  • 00:31:24
    special wishes for this banner over time
  • 00:31:27
    and you can wish on it once you get
  • 00:31:29
    these which is called a quaint fate so
  • 00:31:31
    you see that there's two types of fates
  • 00:31:33
    there's an acquaintance here
  • 00:31:36
    and then there's an intertwined fate
  • 00:31:38
    here
  • 00:31:40
    these blue a quaint fates those are what
  • 00:31:42
    are used for the standard wish and
  • 00:31:44
    you'll accumulate those over time and
  • 00:31:46
    certain quests and milestones will
  • 00:31:48
    actually give them to you the
  • 00:31:49
    intertwined fates however
  • 00:31:51
    those are much more rare those you can
  • 00:31:54
    only purchase a few times a month you
  • 00:31:55
    can get from some battle pass or there's
  • 00:31:58
    events that will give them out sometimes
  • 00:32:00
    but again quite rare so since you'll
  • 00:32:02
    acquire these blue acquaint faints over
  • 00:32:04
    time those are what you're going to use
  • 00:32:06
    to wish on the standard banner and you
  • 00:32:08
    just kind of want to accumulate them
  • 00:32:10
    make a wish here or there and really
  • 00:32:12
    save your primo gems for the limited
  • 00:32:14
    character banner or if you really really
  • 00:32:16
    want to the weapon banner another thing
  • 00:32:19
    to note about the
  • 00:32:20
    standard wish or the standard banner is
  • 00:32:23
    that it has the same pity as the limited
  • 00:32:26
    character banner meaning that after 75
  • 00:32:29
    wishes your chance of getting a 5 star
  • 00:32:31
    is increased and it continues to
  • 00:32:33
    increase up until wish 90 at which point
  • 00:32:36
    you are guaranteed to get a 5 star
  • 00:32:38
    character or weapon but again you don't
  • 00:32:40
    get to choose now there's also something
  • 00:32:42
    kind of unique about the standard banner
  • 00:32:44
    which was discovered it's not really
  • 00:32:46
    been revealed or confirmed but it's
  • 00:32:49
    worth talking about so here's the
  • 00:32:51
    discovery after thousands and thousands
  • 00:32:53
    of wish and lots and lots of samples it
  • 00:32:55
    seems that you are guaranteed to get at
  • 00:32:59
    least one five-star character and one
  • 00:33:01
    five-star weapon for every three total
  • 00:33:05
    five stars you get on the standard
  • 00:33:07
    banner so what this means if you rolled
  • 00:33:09
    and rolled and rolled and then you got a
  • 00:33:11
    to luke and then you rolled and rolled
  • 00:33:13
    and rolled and then you got a gene your
  • 00:33:14
    next five star would be guaranteed to be
  • 00:33:16
    a weapon and if you rolled and rolled
  • 00:33:18
    and rolled and rolled and got a wolf's
  • 00:33:21
    gravestone and then you rolled and
  • 00:33:22
    rolled and rolled and rolled and got a
  • 00:33:24
    lost pair of the sacred wins and then
  • 00:33:26
    you kept rolling and rolling and rolling
  • 00:33:27
    the next five star you get would be
  • 00:33:30
    guaranteed to be a standard character
  • 00:33:33
    but if you rolled a bunch got one five
  • 00:33:35
    star character and then rolled a bunch
  • 00:33:37
    more and got one five star weapon then
  • 00:33:39
    your next five star could be either a
  • 00:33:42
    five star character or a five star
  • 00:33:44
    weapon it just has to be
  • 00:33:46
    one five star character
  • 00:33:48
    and one five star weapon for every three
  • 00:33:50
    total five stars you get on the standard
  • 00:33:52
    banner this hasn't been confirmed by
  • 00:33:54
    mihoyo but there is a lot of data
  • 00:33:56
    suggesting this is how it works so it's
  • 00:33:58
    kind of interesting to know another
  • 00:34:00
    important thing to note is that even
  • 00:34:01
    though there's these standard five star
  • 00:34:03
    characters here chichi mona and kaching
  • 00:34:06
    as well as these skyward weapons
  • 00:34:08
    they don't have any inherent raid up to
  • 00:34:10
    them so if you get a five star you don't
  • 00:34:13
    have a higher chance of getting kachin
  • 00:34:14
    or mona or chichi they're just featured
  • 00:34:16
    on the banner for the sake of artwork
  • 00:34:19
    now i know we've talked a lot about five
  • 00:34:21
    star characters and weapons so far so i
  • 00:34:23
    want to dispel an assumption you might
  • 00:34:25
    have i know it was definitely one that i
  • 00:34:27
    had when i first started the game and
  • 00:34:29
    that assumption is this don't be fooled
  • 00:34:31
    into thinking that a five star is
  • 00:34:33
    automatically better than a 4 star when
  • 00:34:35
    it comes to weapons 5 stars are almost
  • 00:34:38
    always better there are a bunch of cases
  • 00:34:40
    where 4 stars outperform a bunch of 5
  • 00:34:43
    star weapons however generally 5 star
  • 00:34:45
    weapons are better but when it comes to
  • 00:34:47
    characters it's a completely different
  • 00:34:49
    story the only difference between a 5
  • 00:34:52
    star and a 4 star character is the
  • 00:34:54
    amount of bass stats that they get while
  • 00:34:56
    leveling up however the difference
  • 00:34:57
    between a 5 star and 4 star characters
  • 00:35:00
    base stats at level 80 or 90 is actually
  • 00:35:03
    really insignificant essentially all of
  • 00:35:05
    your characters strength is going to
  • 00:35:06
    come from their talent levels their
  • 00:35:08
    artifacts and their weapon for this
  • 00:35:10
    reason a four star character can
  • 00:35:12
    actually outperform a five star
  • 00:35:14
    character if they have similar levels of
  • 00:35:16
    investment for example
  • 00:35:17
    zhang ling a four star character can
  • 00:35:20
    absolutely crush
  • 00:35:22
    yoimia
  • 00:35:23
    a five star character in terms of damage
  • 00:35:26
    while yoemia is great at single target
  • 00:35:28
    damage she has very little aoe potential
  • 00:35:31
    and zhangling can proc a lot more
  • 00:35:32
    elemental reactions and deal more damage
  • 00:35:35
    because of that than yuemia can another
  • 00:35:37
    example is jin cho shin cho is a lot
  • 00:35:40
    better for damage and off-field support
  • 00:35:41
    than a five-star character like kokomi
  • 00:35:44
    both can do damage off-field but jin-cho
  • 00:35:46
    can do more damage and while kokomi does
  • 00:35:49
    healing zhinchou can give you damage
  • 00:35:52
    reduction in addition to some passive
  • 00:35:54
    healing as well while kokomi heals a lot
  • 00:35:56
    more than jincho does jingcho does more
  • 00:35:58
    damage and applies more hydro for more
  • 00:36:01
    elemental reactions and then there's a
  • 00:36:03
    character like dayuna
  • 00:36:05
    dayana is a four-star character that
  • 00:36:07
    completely outshines the five-star
  • 00:36:09
    character chichi and they have similar
  • 00:36:11
    roles both dionna and chichi are healers
  • 00:36:14
    but chichi only heals whereas tayonna
  • 00:36:17
    also provides you a shield and it can
  • 00:36:19
    also be an energy battery recharging the
  • 00:36:21
    energy of your entire team so don't
  • 00:36:23
    think that a 4 star character is
  • 00:36:25
    automatically worse or somehow inferior
  • 00:36:27
    to a 5 star because in fact there are
  • 00:36:30
    several cases where 4 star characters
  • 00:36:32
    are much much better than 5 star
  • 00:36:35
    characters who fulfill a similar role
  • 00:36:37
    now the next tip is to use the in-game
  • 00:36:39
    shop even if you're free to play player
  • 00:36:41
    this can be a very good resource for you
  • 00:36:44
    because it can allow you to get certain
  • 00:36:46
    characters you may not have
  • 00:36:48
    extra copies of characters you want to
  • 00:36:49
    unlock their constellations and you can
  • 00:36:51
    also get some free wishes here so in
  • 00:36:53
    this area we want to go to the tab
  • 00:36:55
    that's called pymon's bargains here on
  • 00:36:57
    the left and it first brings you to some
  • 00:37:00
    place called the star glitter exchange
  • 00:37:02
    now you get 2 star glitter every time
  • 00:37:04
    you get a 4 star and you get 5 star
  • 00:37:06
    glitter every time you get a five star
  • 00:37:09
    you can use those star glitter to
  • 00:37:10
    exchange for
  • 00:37:11
    other weapons characters or fates you
  • 00:37:14
    can also use them to exchange for
  • 00:37:16
    certain items like that are dropped from
  • 00:37:19
    mobs but they're definitely not worth to
  • 00:37:21
    exchange for any of these you really
  • 00:37:23
    only want to be exchanging them for
  • 00:37:25
    characters and for weapons so speaking
  • 00:37:28
    of the characters and weapons these
  • 00:37:30
    characters rotate every month and so do
  • 00:37:32
    these weapons so right now we have the
  • 00:37:34
    royal weapons these are bad don't pick
  • 00:37:37
    them up and then we've got razer and
  • 00:37:39
    amber let's say you wanted a razer and
  • 00:37:41
    amber you could exchange 34 of the star
  • 00:37:44
    glitter for a razor or an amber even if
  • 00:37:47
    you already have a character you can use
  • 00:37:49
    this star glitter shop to get additional
  • 00:37:51
    copies of that character which will
  • 00:37:53
    unlock and enhance new abilities or just
  • 00:37:56
    upgraded versions of their abilities but
  • 00:37:58
    it's generally not a good idea to do
  • 00:38:00
    this unless you know exactly which
  • 00:38:03
    constellation you're going for and you
  • 00:38:06
    know the character is going to be really
  • 00:38:07
    good and you're going to use them a lot
  • 00:38:09
    now the next tab we want to look at is
  • 00:38:11
    the stardust exchange so here if we
  • 00:38:13
    scroll down to the bottom
  • 00:38:15
    you can see i've already bought these
  • 00:38:16
    out but you can buy some intertwined
  • 00:38:18
    fates or quaint fates here you gain the
  • 00:38:21
    masterless star glitter every time you
  • 00:38:24
    wish and get a three star weapon you can
  • 00:38:26
    exchange 75 star glitter for one
  • 00:38:29
    intertwined fate or one a quaint fate
  • 00:38:31
    because these intertwined fates are so
  • 00:38:33
    hard to get aka these kind of pink and
  • 00:38:35
    blue ones
  • 00:38:37
    since they're so hard to get you're
  • 00:38:38
    going to want to buy these out first you
  • 00:38:40
    can buy five a month and the shop resets
  • 00:38:42
    every month that way even if you get a
  • 00:38:45
    bunch of three star weapons which you
  • 00:38:47
    definitely are going to get a bunch of
  • 00:38:48
    three star weapons you can use some of
  • 00:38:51
    those star glitter to buy back other
  • 00:38:53
    wishes that you can then use to wish
  • 00:38:56
    some more
  • 00:38:57
    so it's sort of like a mini pity system
  • 00:38:59
    within the game but make sure that if
  • 00:39:01
    you have enough masterless star glitter
  • 00:39:02
    you're buying these intertwined fates
  • 00:39:04
    each month now this next tip will take
  • 00:39:07
    you outside of the game itself and this
  • 00:39:09
    tip is to do your daily login or daily
  • 00:39:12
    check-in event now you have to do it on
  • 00:39:14
    a web-based platform if you type in
  • 00:39:17
    gentian daily check-in you'll find it
  • 00:39:20
    you'll just put in your information your
  • 00:39:22
    account info and it'll bring it up and
  • 00:39:24
    what it is is a daily check-in that
  • 00:39:26
    mihoyo wants you to do on a web browser
  • 00:39:29
    now why do you have to open a web
  • 00:39:30
    browser to do your daily check-in why is
  • 00:39:32
    it not integrated within the game i have
  • 00:39:35
    no idea because of that very reason
  • 00:39:38
    there are many players who don't know
  • 00:39:40
    about this or don't do it or forget but
  • 00:39:42
    it's actually a decent place to get a
  • 00:39:44
    few extra resources you can get some
  • 00:39:46
    experience books you can get some more
  • 00:39:48
    you can get some fine enhancement ores
  • 00:39:50
    and of course you can get 20 primo gems
  • 00:39:53
    every few days for a total of 60 primo
  • 00:39:57
    gems every month overall it doesn't seem
  • 00:39:59
    like too much but it definitely will
  • 00:40:01
    build up over time it's just a shame
  • 00:40:03
    that you have to open up a web browser
  • 00:40:05
    log into your account click on your
  • 00:40:06
    little reward to get it rather than just
  • 00:40:08
    clicking on it from in-game and having
  • 00:40:10
    it be nice and integrated like
  • 00:40:12
    just about every other game with a daily
  • 00:40:14
    login reward i have a lot more tips but
  • 00:40:17
    i'm definitely worried about
  • 00:40:18
    overwhelming some people so just to
  • 00:40:20
    recap the number one most important tip
  • 00:40:23
    is learn to manage your resources well
  • 00:40:26
    every other tip here is just a specific
  • 00:40:28

    be efficient with resin don't use resin

    at the blacksmith don't level all of
  • 00:40:43
    your characters simultaneously max your
  • 00:40:45
    main dps first raise your supporting
  • 00:40:48
