Personally it's more tolerable this time because Vesna's and Vodya's pull values are not as high as Mavuika and Citlali.

Last time the double banners were on lantern rite patch, and all the extra pulls for lantern rite were in P2 while the new chars were P1 so people were VERY upset
this time you can get all the extra pulls in P1

u/Aschverizen 1h ago
All there to make you use the two free ten pulls you get for anniversary.
Oh well, I was one of the previous players that used to always get all the new characters but I basically stopped after Lohen since I'm now broke, I can't even buy the Welkin anymore and stopped buying the BP two patches before his banner, so right now I'm hoarding Primos for the Tsaritsa instead(I did guarantee Sandrone which used up my hoarded primos and was lucky to get Odette with 50/50) I just hope I get her with my 50/50 since I don't have enough to guarantee her.

They put all Natlan chars in the basement for a reason, and gave out free Varesa despite her being one of the best DPS. People hate them and don't wanna pull them.
On different social media, Natlan characters have 1/10th of the post/mention numbers compared to Liyue, Sumeru and Fontaine.

u/niki_lia Spent 3 years buying Kaeya constellations 2h ago
They always spread out the rewards, at least half of them won't be available until the second half of the patch. Wouldnt be surprised if the Moonchase main event is also second half, just like how Mavuika-Citlali patch had Lantern Rite only after their banner was over
•
u/Gaelic_Flame 1h ago
Pretty sure anniversary should only be tied to anniversary date. At worst it would be spread over like 5-7 days in mails or daily logins or whatever, but it should still be plenty enough to finish before the 1st half banners end.
Also we just got a post with event schedule and main event is first half. And it's not true that they always spread the rewards. In fact most of updates they have most primos in the first half, and second half only gets like 20 or so free pulls (even when the total is 80+). Lantern Rite is kind of an exception, since it's also more or less tied to the real world date.

Same problem. I have 170 pulls right now and an active welkin. I need to win at least one 50/50 to get both. If I lose both then I'm cooked. Unless the anniversary gives me enough pulls to guarantee both. I'm getting Vesna first.

Why the fuck are they doing a double banner of NEW Characters when you have 2 phases.
Do they want people to spend their 2x topup refresh before the tsaritsa.
•
u/Tachikoma_Overlord 2h ago
Do they want people to spend their 2x topup refresh before the tsaritsa?
Yes. That's exactly why they are doing this, it's very much targeted at whales, especially those who believe they NEED every character AND their signature. Good luck getting two characters and two weapons in 21 days unless you pull out the credit card and pay enough cash to buy you a PS5 (depending on luck maybe even a PS5 Pro, lmao).
Though they are also targeting low spenders, forcing people to burn through their F2P/Welkin wishes at an unsustainable rate if they want multiple new characters, forcing them to go for top-ups in the first place.

Cursed weapon banner for Vesna, oofff...
•
u/Ahuranni 1h ago
Not sure how that's cursed. Cursed would have been sharing it with Skirk, whose weapon has a useless passive on literally everyone else but herself. The best possible combo would have been Vesna/Escoffier since Vesna and Escoffier's signatures are both universally useful across a large number of characters, though. Escoffier's weapon is especially strong on Iansan and Chevreuse.
But as it is, it's not like Vodyanitsa's signature is terrible. It's very nice on many characters besides Vodyanitsa herself, and makes rotations more flexible than using TTDS.

Is Vodya necessary for Skirk? I currently run Skirk w/ C2 Furina, C1 Shenhe, C0 Esco, and occasionally swap in C4 Mona or C1 Yelan in place of Shenhe
→ More replies (2)•
u/Beteljuse 2h ago edited 2h ago
Please ignore the other comment which is clearly incorrect. Vodya can be a sidegrade to C0 Furina in a team with Mona, yes, but definitely not with a C1+ Furina.
The best Skirk team by far is going to be Skirk, Furina, Escoffier, Vodya. Vodya is a significant upgrade compared to C4 Mona and a huge upgrade compared to Shenhe (which is worse than Mona) for the 4th slot.
The problem is that the upgrade compared to Mona is similar to Skirk signature weapon, and a bit bigger than getting C1 Escoffier. However, depending on boss, you might want to play a cryo option in the 4th slot. For this reason, in practice, I would only consider Vodya after your Skirk is R1 and Escoffier is C1.

u/Ahuranni 1h ago
Vodyanitsa will not be good for on-field Tsaritsa. Based on current leaks (always subject to change, take with a grain of salt) it's looking like the Tsaritsa is being designed a bit like Columbina, where she can off-field or on-field, and thus support Sandrone, Vesna or Mitya or take the on-field role herself.
Vodyanitsa and Tsaritsa will likely only be premium together when combined with Vesna and Odette.

If i were you I'd just just skip this entire patch. Vesna is pretty good but her pull value isn't really that high considering mizuki fills the same role and she's free. Vodya is only good for vesna and skirk, and for vesna it's a minimal upgrade, she mainly brings qol And escoffier is ok as a last slot on ssc teams, but she's basically a qiqi/nicole sidegrade and overall her niche is freeze. If you don't have skirk there's no point in getting her
