@z0d15g0d The only time I use Welt is when I want to add debuffs to the enemy and either Pela or Silver Wolf are used up on another team, but you could use Sampo or someone else for that. He is pretty good when fully built, he hits harder than many think, and his "delay the enemy" kit is hard to quantify in numbers.
But he has a split scaling problem where you need to build him with Crit to hit hard, but then his Effect Hit rate is lower and he doesn't imprison reliably, which is fine against standard/lower enemies but not end game content. Hence you need to flip it for Bosses.
He also gets better with Eidolons, especially his E2 which can give him enough energy to Ult and every 2 turns OR not run ERR Rope and get more damage. All in all he's pretty complex to build well, hence he's a little misunderstood imho, but there are also better characters.
Thank you for the codes Shigurui. Lingsha is better than I realised, I thought her kit was spread too thinly, but her healing scales off her attack, so you just build her as a break DPS unit (as she has some kind of bonus break thing baked in there too I think) and she will passively heal your team, which means you may not need a slot for a sustain who isn't offering much damage. Plus since she has FUA baked in too she can work with Robin and Topaz.
I actually got Topaz lol I probably should have planned better if Ling and Topaz's pity is linked, but I just kinda tossed free tickets at the two banners and got Topaz almost immediately. I was just reading how Lingsha works in her trial stage thing. I had awful luck with the Feixiao / triple S Rank banners last month, so I guess I will see what happens. Account still remains quite scuffed, feel like I lack a good central DPS. I'm sort of chained to Lynx and Yunli as I haven't had a better healer or a better DPS unit. So every new character I pull its like... how do they work with these two units 😂
@Shigurui I just saw a similar leak for 2.6. Adventurine, Acheron and Dan Heng IL alongside new 5-star Rappa. The last two in the first half. And the second half being no new character for the first time, hence putting such wanted characters there. That would SUCK for me as I want both Adventurine and Acheron's Light Cone, but I probably won't have enough for either unless I get lucky early and win the 50:50. Either way it's characters before vertical investment (light cones and Eidolons) for me.
@Shigurui@themightyant Okay thanks. I'll take my time building him at some point since I waited this long to get him lol. I've added Lingsha to my support list if you guys want to give her a go. She's fairly built but gonna be a while till I add on her LC hopefully can get before the banner ends.
Feixiao is absolutely nuts. And I honestly thought she'd be meh cause the hunt characters have never done me any good except Ratio to an extent and single target in this game can feel awful at times. But her on one team and acheron on the other is a wild time
So glad I managed to snag her on the last hour of her banner. I just wish you could have duplicate characters cause a 2nd aventurine would be a godsend lol
@themightyant especially after I had already used up 80 rolls to get Kafka! I managed to save up enough to roll again lol. I was genuinely not expecting to hit the 5 star pity let alone win the 50 50
He's getting a rerun... but with acheron 😭. Are you gonna get him? These patches have definitely been favoring fua characters a lot
@Judal27 I’d love to get Adventurine, I will try. I probably shouldn’t have gone for Robin ahead of him, as I don’t think I will have enough free wishes to even get 1 more 5-star in the next 5-6 weeks, and my luck on the 50:50 sucks. I also wanted Acherons light cone, but that was always a stretch, I don’t typically do those as F2P. But perhaps Lady Luck will favour me on one.
@themightyant Robin's a really good pull tho. Her buffs are amazing for basically every game mode, trust itll pay off xD. As far as LCs are concerned, I honestly consider acheron's essential. It's just a straight up big upgrade. And getting LCs seems easier than eidolons
The leaks for 2.7 seem all but confirmed so if that's the case. I'm either gonna try to get at least e1 acheron, when the rerun comes. Or go all in on the new characters for 2.7. Idk if you guys consider them spoilers or not. So I don't want to say names if you don't wanna know
@Shigurui. I’ll definitely try for Adventurine, Fu Xuan is just TOO powerful in too many teams, having a second one with a slightly different FUA / Crit DMG kit would be amazing. I always save my shop currency for an emergency like this, so I had saved 30+ extra wishes, but I used some getting Robin. I probably have 5 weeks to save around 45+ wishes elsewhere. I will need to win the 50:50 and even then I might fall short. It is what is it.
I possibly might consider getting the daily gem pack, or battle pass to ease it, but to be honest I quite like the challenge of F2P / low spend and seeing what you can get and how you can do unassisted.
Re: Acheron: I never got Boundless Choreo, not even one impression, but I’m on S3 Good night and Sleep Well, which is basically the same damage as that LC.
Her sig LC is a big damage boost, around 25% - 30% over what I have, but she still slaps almost all content without it. As F2P this would be a nice to have but far from essential. I currently prefer horizontal investment (new characters) over vertical (light cones and eidolons)
@Judal27 Re: leaks Usually we use spoiler tags [ spoiler]TEXT TO HiDE[ /spoiler] (just remove the space after the opening square bracket on each tag, if we think it will be a spoiler, like a story moment like a character ascension (Harmony Trailblazer, Swordmaster March), usually best to play it safe.
@themightyant in that case, since all leaks seem to point towards Sunday and Tingyun coming back in 2.7, I'm definitely going for Sunday! I've been wanting him to be playable for so long. And I could use another harmony character too
So realistically as a f2p too, acheron eidolons then all in on 2.7 for me. I'd like to get avent's LC too if possible since I'm on a guarantee but idk if I'll be able to. It's so weird to me how immediately after penacony ended, they decided to just rerun all penacony characters back to back. Even doing that ridiculous 3 characters in 1, last phase lol. It kinda ruined my plans to get eidolons and lcs
Just did my weekly DU run and had a random assortment of Hunt, Abundance and Erudition blessings and curios. I watched Lingsha solo the final boss on auto and she didn't even give any other characters a turn. would be nice if they allowed some of those curios in the actual game seeing as they already exist outside of the SU.
@Shigurui Nice thing to do. Congratulations, your account is looking good! What do you want next on your account? A specific character, weapon, or something to plug a gap in a team archetype?
My account is similar to yours with a few less/different characters. I also don't have any featured Character Banner Lightcones or Eidolons, I just accept that generally these aren't all that feasible without spending. I got the battle pass four times early on and only got the daily gems twice... perhaps three times, I forget.
I've definitely missed days especially when I was backpacking. So if it's 365 days actually played, I probably won't get this for a month or so. But in the spirit of sharing my account currently is: (5-star's only. All E0 unless specified, no signature Lightcones)
Acheron
Bailu (Don't use her anymore)
Bronya
Clara E1
Dr Ratio
Feixaio
Firefly
Fu Xuan
Gepard (haven't ever built/used him)
Himeko E2
Jingliu
Robin
Ruan Mei
Seele
Silver Wolf
Welt E2
Yanqing (haven't ever built/used him)
The ones I don't have from your list are: Argenti, Black Swan, Blade, HuoHuo, Jiaoqui, Kafka, Luocha & Topaz. I'm missing some DoT & FUA. But I do have Feixaio & Silver Wolf. This is mostly down to my bad 5-star luck, losing the 50/50 and almost always going towards full pity, but you've also spent a little more. The only two I tried to get of yours were HuoHuo (lost the 50/50 but it worked out I ended up getting Silver Wolf guaranteed) and Jiaoqui (same with Feixaio). All in all very happy with my account.
What's next? I would love to get Acheron's Light cone but I want Adventurine more and will try and get him, but I think I will be short of wishes to guarantee either. With a bit of luck perhaps... who am I kidding lol.
The only characters I'm missing from the already rerun characters are Topaz and Kafka. They had to screw with me and made me choose between Kafka and Black Swan. I curbed spending when this new version started as I won't be giving them a penny till the story is back on track (to my liking lol).
I think I've got all the characters I need till the new meta comes around. I'll just be focusing on the reruns for the foreseeable future.

I'm not zero cycling everything in MoC but I'm not sweaty enough to want to lol
Preach! With all these games I do what I can in the minimum of time I can. Sometimes I don't get all the stars but I likely miss out on at most a 10 pull a year by missing one or two stars here or there, it's not worth my time to replay it endlessly tweaking teams to do better. Frankly i've got other things to play!
Codes for 300 jades. We're going back to Penacony. Adventurine and Acheron also confirmed for 2.6 pt 2.
@z0d15g0d Not much. 2.6 mostly feels like the MiHoYo version of Anime Filler episodes imo. But as previously mentioned we are getting previous 4-star event weapons added to the Herta shop. That’s what I’m most looking forward to.
We’re returning to Penacony for a Dr ratio questline. Rappa is the new 5-star with a DHIL rerun, 4-stars on her banner are Lynx, Xueyi & Yukong. Second half is there isn’t a new character, but reruns of Adventurine & Acheron plus Pela, Sampo & March 7th.
There will be a rhythm based music event with a free lightcone. Simulated Universe gets an update, New Ascension material, 2 new relic sets. That’s about it
