    If you buy the BP, Sacrificial Jade is also very good for him if you don't want to go for his signature weapon. You can't go wrong with either currently, but I would lean towards Neuvillette for a main DPS. Heizou and Yaoyao would also be good additions to your team if you decide to pull for Neuvillette or Zhongli.

    Another option would be to save for Mavuika who should be next up as well as Furina who should also be rerun again at some point during the 5.x cycle. If you go this route, Gaming is a pretty solid DPS in your current lineup.

    Ultimately, while there are characters that are much better than others, pull for who you like since meta/endgame is really only Spiral Abyss (mainly floor 12) and Imaginarium Theater (which requires a larger built roster). Everything in the overworld (barring local champions) is trivial content that can be cleared with just about any decently built team.

    Both of the characters on the current banner are great, though I only have Zboy. Next banner should have Arlecchino, who is a fire powerhouse but can die pretty easy and can't heal in battle. There's also Pyro Archon biker babe from Natlan coming up, who should also be about as good without the for-mentioned downside. Out of the list you showed, Fischle and Sucrose are good investments.

    Man I'm torn. I want Neuv, but I also need to complete Archon Bingo.

    There's no wrong choice between Neuv and Mavuika. I'm skipping Neuv for the 4th time now to get Mavuika + constellations, but as a day 1 player obviously I have a pretty filled out roster which makes those kinds of choices easier.

    Separating the archon prestige out of it, I'd probably say Neuv is the better pick-up. He slots into tons of teams, he's easy to build because he's HP scaling, he has some decent F2P/low cost weapon options, and Mavuika will definitely be rerun before 6.0 but Neuv may not rerun again for a while (or maybe they'll just keep running him every third patch like they have been, lol).

    Hmm.. that's actually a very good point. Thanks for the insight there.

    Like you, day 1 player, so my roster's pretty set.

    Navia and Neuv are the ones from Fontaine I'd want (I took something of a hiatus after snagging Furina).

    Decided to go with Zhongli specifically to complete my Navia team with Xiangling and Bennett. But i’m almost sure Mavuika will replace either Bennett or Xiangling for me. Aiming for Mavuika and Furina next. Just need to finish leveling and building Zhongli and Xiangling while waiting on Mavuika.

    I basically need Furina for my Hyperbloom team (Alhaitham, Nahida, Kuki) and my hyperbloom team is a little stronger i think because my Alhaitham is C1 and Nahida is C2.

    Current teams i’m running to give everyone some chance are:

    Navia (gonna get her to C1 minimum next rerun, but she has a special place for certain reasons so i am willing to C6 her)
    Xilonen (planning on her C2)
    Bennett c6
    Kuki c4

    Alhaitham C1
    Kuki
    Nahida C2
    Mona

    Kazuha
    Sigewinne
    Kuki
    Bennett

    Failed the 50/50 for Neuvillette. Again. >< Have about 16k gems left and wondering if I should risk it because really want archon. Also running out of exp materials, guess been working on catching up on different chars a bit too much.

    Frustrating, for sure. If you really like him as a character, I would probably pull for him now and then try for Mavuika whenever her rerun happens. She's for sure going to rerun before 6.0, but this is Neuv's 3rd rerun already, so we really have no idea if they're going to keep hitting us over the head with him or if he might disappear for 16 months.

    Mavuika AND Citlali are going to be running in the first half of 5.3. Phase 2 will be Arlecchino + Chlorinde.

    New Chronicled Wish banner - and it includes Shenhe!

    We'll also get another free 4* choice which will include Lan Fan as an option.

    Kinda funny they put Shenhe on the Chronicled Wish because she hasn't rerun enough times yet to qualify. She's only been rerun once.

    A little annoyed the entire preview stream was only available in Chinese and not English. Hopefully the Archon quest is fully voiced.

    Also kinda funny they're running Arleccino right after since Mavuika is kinda replace her. I was thinking about maybe going for her for my collection the next time she ran, but unless I get incredibly going for Mavuika constellations there's no way I'm going to have enough primos to do it this time.

    And obviously I've been waiting for Shenhe constellations so they're running her for the first time in over 2 years at the same time as the new Pyro Archon.

    Edit: One of those silhouettes at the end was definitely Skirk, so I guess that's who I'm saving for next since there was no Capitano silhouette there lol.

    There's speculation on all of them on the leaks subreddit. Hoyo did say they would all be reveled in the next 6 months during the program.

    Only one of them will have enough cow bell. Also, it would be hilarious if the bird was Sakura's voice actress, but I don't think it is.

    Does pity work the same as HSR?
    50/50 then guaranteed if you lose, progress carries over so you can preload pity, etc?

    The only difference between HSR/ZZZ and Genshin is the weapon banner. In Genshin, the weapon banner is a 75/25 to get either of the on-banner weapons, and then a 50/50 between them if you land the 75/25. If you don't get the weapon you're tracking (always make sure you're tracking the weapon you want before you pull), then you get a Fate point and your next 5* will be the weapon you're tracking. However, Fate points DO NOT carry over between banners, so if you want a weapon, make sure you're ready to pull until you get it. What does carry between banners is your actual pity (which wish number you're on), and if you lost the 75/25 and got an off-banner weapon, your next 5* is guaranteed to be one of the featured weapons.

    I guess technically the other games don't have the new-ish Capturing Radiance thing on their character banners, but it's pretty minimally impactful unless you're whaling out constantly. Essentially if you lose a character 50/50, there's an escalating chance that the next time you lose a 50/50, the game will make you win it instead. I *think* it's guaranteed to trigger after you lose three 50/50s, but someone else may know better. It only ends making the character banner a technical 55/45. It really only affects people going for multiple constellations on every character.
