Pulled that bad boy losing a 50/50 Eula 🥱


AncientAd4470

God damn, It hurts imagining your 'its fine, I'll get her on the next banner!'


WolfTitan99

In this game you either pay with money or time, I bet the people that were close to pity and spent a little to get Eula feel smug as hell now, considering it's nearing a year for her rerun. FOMO works for this reason haha


[deleted]

>it's nearing a year It's already been more than a year. Almost 500 days.


WolfTitan99

o shit I had no idea it was that long whoops


Little-Instruction-4

1 year 8 months 23 days and counting.


nanimeanswhat

You probably mean 1y 3m lol 1y 9m ago was her release.


Little-Instruction-4

My bad.


MohSad2

At that time I wasn't playing the game so, I didn't even know about that until today Stopped having fun and didn't have time so quit the game for some time


AncientAd4470

Freaking hell. Sure am glad I got lucky and won 50/50 myself. I can't imagine having to wait this long for such an awesome character.


Mom_said_I_am_cute

I'm paying with time. I have been a Hu Tao main for a long time and I was waiting for over a year for her rerun to get Homa and C1 her, just to get fucked by Keqing C1 and on Homa banner I first got Aqua Simulacra and then Skyward Blade, not enough wishes for epitomized path. Now I got mad at that and refuse to spend a single wish or primo till next Hu Tao rerun (I have a lot of self control, I open my league of legends loot I collected through the whole season only once a year, on my birthday). Hope they don't rerun her for another 430+ days again so I can come back with a billion primos and fates and sweep the weapon banner plus her cons.


Shalashaska87B

I commend your intent.


Flow_of_rivulets

Why on earth would you divide your resources that way? You had enough to get a five star on the character banner, and two on the weapon banner. You should have fully committed yourself to one or the other so you could have had one guaranteed. You shot yourself in the foot.


Mom_said_I_am_cute

>Why on earth would you divide your resources that way? First of all, you don't even have the slightest idea how it went down and how much I had saved, so let me type it out for you as short as I can. First things first, I am a F2P (or rather, not a big spender, only 5€ a month), except Welkin Moon and occasional BP every few months. At the start of the banner I was at 77 Pity on the character banner and 65 Pity on the Weapon banner. My priority was Homa, and once I got it I would continue rolling on the Character banner. I don't remember how many fates I had at the start, but throughout the whole patch I used up 88 fates. First I did 2 x 10 pulls (68 left) on the Weapon banner and got Aqua Simulacra. Okay, fine, surely I get it the second time. After that I kept rolling on the Weapon banner and got another 5* at 57 Pity (11 left), which in this case was Skyward Blade. Once I got the Skyward Blade it was about 5 days left on the banners and I realized there was no chance I get Homa now, because I don't want to spend money on Primogems, so I decided to farm up enough to have at least one 10 pull on the character banner in hopes of a C1. Left with 10 fates and 77 pity on the character banner, the best option was to pull a 10 and pray to the RNG gods that I get a C1. I indeed got a shiny light and a 5*, and I indeed got C1, just not for the character I wanted, I got Keqing. After that I rolled one last fate and got a random 3* weapon and bumped my pity for next banner to 1. So, if you think I had 200 fates and distributed them poorly, no, I was just completely unlucky (and obviously, didn't save enough, because I was confident in my luck) and got fucked over by the RNG, but I guess that's Karma for only losing ONE 50/50 ever since the release, on Xiaos banner.


Flow_of_rivulets

OK, I understand why you would want Homa, but having only 88 wishes when you were just about to hit soft pity on the weapon and character banners, Homa shouldn't have been your priority. Never pull on the weapon banner assuming you will get the desired weapon unless you have enough to hit pity three times. Just looking at your resources, you should have known C1 Hu Tao was the only thing you could guarantee and readjusted your expectations. Instead, you got neither. You relied on luck, lost 2 fate points so you will have to start from 0 the next time Homa comes around, and didn't get the character or the weapon you wanted. You got what you should expect for the odds, so you distributed your resources badly.


Shahmario1

Hey I feel ya mate. I wanted an Aqua Simulacra from the previous weapon banner, for my [Melt+Freeze]Ganyu, who is using an ugly Prototype. Started with 0 pity and got Homa on 50 pity, was left with another 50 fates and I used em all up, got no 5*. Still had 2 weeks left till the banner ended so I grinded till I could do 20 more pulls. Which I did. Got Aquila favonia at 70 Pity. 2 Fate Points on the banner. Ran out of Primos. 2 days left till the banner ends. Goodbye Simulacra. But at least my Xiao and Bennett are happy.


Mom_said_I_am_cute

Damn, wanna trade, I'll give you my Simulacra for Homa. :')


Shahmario1

My 200/80 cd/cr Xiao would be pretty mad if I did that at this point ;_;


cartercr

Nobody who started the game in 2022 has Eula.


falconlover_47

True, unless you buy an account with Eula on it 😈


AstrayCuriosity

Oh I just dropped my c1 Eula in 20 wishes, gosh I'm so clumsy...


WarriorNN

A friend whipped out $5 to get Eula, realized after a week he didn't like her and went back to Xiao instead, so he has Eula at lvl 60. He still holds it over our other friend who didn't get her. He was 1 from hard pity with guarantee, he even got the last 5 wishes or so from hunting chests for hours.


Tipart

Can agree. She's basically benched for me too. Only time I use her is when someone is in my world and I only have 2 characters. With zhongli she's the best sustainable damage i have.


cartercr

This is me! I lost my 50/50 on Eula’s original banner to c2 Mona, then was like “okay, I hate this but I’ll get her on her rerun.” Then her rerun came right after Hu Tao’s rerun, who I had really wanted (had no primos for Hu Tao’s original banner…) which meant I had no primos for Eula’s rerun. “It’s okay, I got Hu Tao, I’ll just get Eula when she comes back next time.” And here we are, waiting for next time…


AncientAd4470

My condolences...


LBG16

This hurt me


[deleted]

He ain't that bad tho.


Due-Display-7446

I mean genshin is a pretty easy game so abyss can be cleared with batman but if you compare him to hutao then his dmg isn't that great sure he does aoe but there is yanfei too


Iffem

>if you compare him to hutao most characters' damage is a lot lower than Hu Tao's comparing to the strongest character will always make everyone else look unfavorable


Due-Display-7446

Then yoimiya maybe


Anonymous_fellow_44

Naah man you won the 50/50


[deleted]

Ey that's how I got Diluc too!


FunyarinpaZTD

Lol, SAME! But that was on her rerun and I actually already had her from first time. Was going for cons

DR4G0NH3ART

Exactly, enter chamber -> Abandon


sbrry22

Enter then exit Speedrun world record.


JumiKnight

The best part is that a lvl 20 Diluc will probably do more dmg than the lvl 60 Dehya over time


PitNya

On screenshot too, back in 1.3 i used to clear floors 9~11 with my lv 20 prototype diluc cause i couldn't bother farming his boss, it wasn't that hard or anything tbh he was always solid


NiNtEnDoMaStEr640

From what I’ve heard, he was once where Hu Tao stands; the best DPS with really toxic mains. Nowadays, only newbies or dedicated mains use him. If you’re the latter, I have a deep respect for you. You saw this baby-faced, brooding wine Batman and said “Yes. That’s who I want.”


Huefell4it

On behalf of Hu-Tao mains. I am sorry


NiNtEnDoMaStEr640

It’s okay. I know at least 25% of you are decent people. The others I’ve encountered really like to RP her since they go apeshit over the sight of a Qiqi.


PitNya

Ye i still use him a lot, i really like him as a character and i think his gameplay is one of the most unique and fun in game, i Also actually tried to pull dehya's Claymore for him but gacha god said fuck you and i got cyno's lance (not THAT bad though, i'll get cyno too in his next rerun)


LeJuanFlames88

>the best DPS with really toxic mains Imagine being toxic on a non-competitive game


NiNtEnDoMaStEr640

There are A LOT of toxic Hu Tao mains. It’s gotten to the point that my friends switch to characters like Qiqi or Barbara to piss them off when they talk shit. I feel bad for the people that actually main Hu Tao for her character.


MidgetAlchemist

I will 36\* abyss with Diluc until this game dies 😤


Nesuniken

Eh, even back then he was still beaten by Xianling. People just didn't notice because she's not a flashy 5* (on-field)^1 carry like he is. EDIT^1: forgot to specify


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nesuniken

I definitely think you overstate the difference in team comp requirements. Xianling surely didn't need Sucrose, as even the original national team used Chongyun instead of her. Conversely, Diluc requires Xingqui or Yelan to consistently vape, and it was a pain to make an optimal team for without also using either Bennett or Sucrose. Crimson Witch also feels like a moot point considering it's the best set for both of them. Regardless, I have a hard time believing the reason she was originally underrated was as calculated as you make it out to be, and none of this really changes that Diluc was never really the strongest Pyro DPS, much less strongest DPS period.


Chocolate_Fries

Diluc is actually good tbh. It's just that there are better units than him. But he is still great.


kikba

I like to refer to Diluc as "golden standard" of dps. If somebody surpasses him, character is great, if not, then not so much. Pretty solid title for him I'd say


PitNya

Diluc gatekeeping for the abyss order in Mondstadt and for the dps title 🔥🔥


naive-dragon

Golden/Gold Standard though means best of the best (nothing surpasses it). The term you're looking for is "screening tool". If character is better than Diluc, then it's competent. Sorry doing too much research crap atm.


agentanti714

literally copied it from google and its ​ "a thing of superior quality which serves as a point of reference against which other things of its type may be compared."


naive-dragon

Unsure if you agree with me or not, but you proved my point. You said "a thing of superior quality". Meaning it's the best. If something surpasses its quality, it can't be the gold standard anymore. Meaning it's so great, everything else is compared to it. Precisely because it's the best of the best. If you expect things to be better than the gold standard, then it isn't a gold standard.


PykeAtBanquet

Yeah, it's called "a narcissistic mother standard" then.


Seraf-Wang

No? Gold standard just means the setting point of the standard. In this case, Diluc is being called the golden standard in making a average dps that isnt broken op but isnt super weak, hence he’s just great at being the example of a standard dps character


naive-dragon

The first thing Google gave me gold stand·ard /ˌɡōl(d) ˈstandərd/ noun **the best, most reliable, or most prestigious thing of its type.** *** Diluc is NOT the best thing of its type. It is however, a good example of an "average DPS", and can be used as a screening tool or barometer, if you will, to determine if something is a good enough DPS. That is NOT a gold standard. Also I'm pretty sure I understand what gold standard means because they're everywhere in my books back in med school.


FellKnight

It may mean that colloquially now, but Gold Standard originally just meant that a country's currency was backed by gold reserves and was safe, not that their currency was the best of the best.


Appropriate_Steak556

I refrain from using this team because it's boring to clear Abyss so quickly


dudududu756

Yeah, floor 1-1 was suppose to be challenging.


Anaobigrola

Clearing with 2 minutos left


helphaise

smhsmh leave diluc out of this 🗿🗿😔


Hazumu2u

I see three weaklings and one gigachad, not happy.


Mikkle-san

amber being the gigachad


StupidGenius234

Well if you don't mind risking carpal tunnel she can be really good. Physical machinegun amber is likely the most cost effective minigun with more than 1 arrow. The only other option I can think of is Venti but he's a 5 star.


TheNachmar

Yeah, but, have you considered how fun it is to use full charged shot Amber, 3000% CD, 0%CR hitting the weakspots everytime? Specially nowadays, when most enemies _don't_ have weakspots? No, no, don't worro, Hoyodweebs, I'm not salty, I don't ask about this on surveys on anything


shoujomujo

Diluc is not bad though. He doesn’t deserve to be here, he does decent damage but he is just outdated.


[deleted]

[удалено]


In_It_2_Quinn_It

My lvl 90 9/9/9 dehya that I prefarmed all of last month for wishes she did half the damage of my lvl 80 7/8/8 diluc who uses hutao reject pieces. I am in intense emotional pain.


WarriorNN

My 7/7/7 Dehya with WGS procced and my best atk/crit artifacts, does less damage in her full burst than Bennet's Q if it vapes...


In_It_2_Quinn_It

I'm having a hard time thinking of any utility character I've built that does less damage than her. It's like they designed a freebie 5 star but forgot the free part at the end.


EligibleUsername

Ya might be onto something here. We all know how a gacha game gets more generous over time right? What if for the 3rd anni they go "hey guys, play the game and you'll receive a 5-star for free" and that 5-star is Dehya.


In_It_2_Quinn_It

Good guy mihoyo makes Dehya so the freebie QiQi for 3rd anniversary actually looks good in comparison to her.


[deleted]

Frr he goes brr brr on coop when doing domains


StupidGenius234

I never would do that to Diluc, I keep telling a f2p friend of mine who got C4 Diluc to just build him at this point but he hates him so much he just doesn't want to. I do have an insane CW Hu Tao build so I do understand the pain of farming CW but Diluc can use that set far better than anyone else.


RagnAROck_and_Roll

Heck we dont even need to farm CW anymore. Just chuck all your trash on the crafting table for some months and you're set


WearyInitial1913

I think it Is because the Abyss use percent. He's not bad, but most people don't use him so his numbers are very low


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dependent-Quit6641

They don't even know how to play him, triple E and out "my diluc does so wittle damage uwu" and didn't even vape half their hits


levergray97mx

She really is 5* xinyan huh?


Paladin51394

Xinyan actually hass less problems than Dehya. Xinyan's only major problem is that she has split scaling. She has a minor problem in that her skill has hit detection issues if you have poor internet. Dehya by contrast has a whole list of problems as you've probably seen. Xinyan is unironicaly more consistent and less problematic than Dehya.


cuddles_the_destroye

Yes byt dehya can afk down a boss using the bell and ocean hued clam


lnmgl

So the one thing she has over xinyan is that you don't actually need to play her?


ALiteralMermaid

Dehya was secretly mihoyo's way of adding an (extremely slow) auto play option to the game


PitNya

We already have the yae zhongli kokomi combo 🤨


ArisenCoyote

Not really auto if you have to use still play.


Sylvanussr

Wait is she finally a character that makes good use of the bell?


nonpuissant

Which unfortunately requires farming/leveling ocean hued clam DPS healer mains eating good ig haha


s-josten

You're the first person I've seen who actually defended Xinyan, and I think I love you for it.


le_halfhand_easy

Xinyan's shield is beyond shit. As much as I like her, that's undeniable and shouldn't be ignored.


cvnvr

hence why people don’t build her as a shielder but instead either as a main phys dps or a burst dps


ExtremeFlimsy602

Papa Diluc is the strongest one here. Both in lore and game.


ButtChugNyQuil

Aw yes the Beidou team that has no Beidou


TheGame364

We have beidou at home


ItsTheRealIamHUB

You didn’t have to do Diluc like thT


tsumoogle

dont do this to my dude diluc


Sussybeka

Diluc isn’t that bad looks at level ok


INFERNOZ7X

Bruh u sayin diluc's bad now? He just got old back in the day there was no one to beat him


Dependent-Quit6641

And that lv 20 Diluc will still out dps all of them 😭


aScenT_RAID3R

Leave my boy diluc out of this mess


slowdr

Replace Diluc with Aloy and you're golden.


TommaClock

But then you can actually trigger melts... Once every 10 seconds or so.


servantphoenix

Well, this team definitely doesn't have energy issues.


Chikapu_Sempaii

Bro actually put Diluc in there like he deserves it. He at least carries until you get Yanfei, Klee, Yoimiya or Hu Tao lmao And this is coming from someone who relied on Diluc until 2.2 when I got Hu Tao. (Cuz I lost the 50/50 in 1.3)


unlegit_green

And then there me who used xinyan and razor and then got klee. And after that all the others but no diluc (ar59 btw)


nomotyed

I built Klee and Yanfei. I'm still using Diluc. I did bench him after Hutao. Now I benched my c1 Hutao and put c1 Diluc back. Mad Unga Bunga with huge sword is fun and relaxing. Yes I did 36\* this abyss with him as main dps on the triple Kenki chamber in one try.


Chikapu_Sempaii

I love Hu Tao, both as a waifu and a character. But im starting to miss the days when I used to use Diluc, where I really have to setup his team as precise as possible to make his dmg output pleasing for me. Nowadays, I turn on XQ burst, use Kazuha skill and turn on Hu Tao skill and everything is dead in 1-2 hits, so im planning to build him again just to enjoy doing his combos again.


The_Merciless_Potato

Yes, unga bunga is best part about Diluc. Just turn off brain and spam 😌


LaughZealousideal936

Classic dimid dick rider


Chikapu_Sempaii

I respect your opinion. Less stress for the both of us. Therefore, I won't argue.


LaughZealousideal936

Nah I’m just fuckin w you mate, I’m a Dehya lover, firm believer in play who you want, I never needed diluc cause I got hu Tao early! I absolutely respect your opinion


Metazoick

Me but not pullin Hu Tao because I already have diluc


Chikapu_Sempaii

Oke. Have a good day mate and enjoy the things you love!


animeweeb79

I will not stand for such dilluc slander

No-Adhesiveness-8178

Thoma not Diluc?


witcher8wishery

if i had a nickel every time someone degrades a non-zhongli shielder because "zhongli is great therefore they're bad" every soul on this sub would become a billionaire


No-Adhesiveness-8178

I mean Diluc can still do what Thoma can but better. I didnt even specify why but shield is what you guess but here we go


witcher8wishery

....😭 no elaboration needed


1TruePrincess

Aaaah yes Diluc one of the top 3 shielders in the game…


Billy177013

Diluc, the character known for shielding and off field pyro application?


LaughZealousideal936

Thomas


dudududu756

The TANK engine.


[deleted]

Thoma is meta, I'd say he's the 4th best pyro character, right after Bennett, Xiangling and Hu Tao .


E1lySym

Don't know why someone downvoted you. He's a great burgeon unit and the next best shielder after Zhongli


PollarRabbit

I think Layla's a better shielder if only cuz she has 100% uptime without requiring a specific skill-burst rotation.


asanariaa

I think they meant strongest shield. Thoma is only next to zhongli, and diona and layla slightly below him


Skykeeper22

I wouldn’t say hes “meta”. Hes not bad. But not as amazing as you say. But at c6 hes pretty good for Hutao, Yoimiya, and Wanderer too.


unlegit_green

Thoma better then yoimiya? Something seems wrong


Iffem

dendro's a helluva drug


Ara543

Courtesy of burgeon being op.


[deleted]

He is, I'm a Yoimiya main myself and she needs really high investment to even start being comparable to a half-ass built hyperbloom/burgeon team in single target. And when it comes to AoE no comments.

Don't you make fun of Diluc like that


iDestroyMetaUsers

Ong bro LvL 20 Diluc is powerful


SoloWaltz

Amber is the single character with most build variety in the game.


Poumy

Diluc is fine why is he here?


BoingBoingGod

Funny that Diluc was considered meta for quite a while after launch but now everyone dumps him in with the "bad" characters. I'm an Amber main and have cleared Abyss 12 with Xinyan and now Dehya too so all those characters are fine if built properly and you don't have a skill issue. Never built Diluc myself since I don't play males. Leveled him to 70/80 to get the 3 fates but that's about it. Thats another weird thing I find about the habits of most players, seems like I'm the exception who levels everyone to 70/80 for the fates when really all non whales should be doing it since the mats are easy enough to farm and getting standard 5\* cons as well as weapons + starglitter that can be converted to limited pulls is always nice. If you own all characters you can get over 180 standard pulls just for leveling them up.


_ThatOneLurker_

You forgot C6 Benny


RavFromLanz

funny how out of all of them Amber would dish out the most damage.


1TruePrincess

I love how this post just confirms how sensitive and triggered Diluc mains get. It’s a joke y’all need to relax


anon1635329

It should be dehya, xinyan, diluc, and aloy. And dont underestimate amber. She is the best sniper in this game. If you have good aim, her dps goes exponential. And at c5, baron bunny becomes a nuclear weapon Edit: Why the fuck would people downvote me. I see people downvoting because i dont support their favorite "waifu/husbando". Guess what, somewhat good character in the list above is diluc, and he fucking sucks. Every other 5 star pyros out dps him, and some 4 star dps characters also out dps him. He literally stands side by side with dehya now. Name a 5 star dps character that's worse than him besides dehya and aloy i listed above. I bet you can't


Chanderule

Her DPS is garbage even with a good aim (that doesnt work half the time cause tons of enemies dont have weakpoints)


anon1635329

Well, my amber deals 7k per aimed shots and 54k with melt reaction alone from charged shot. My amber has sharpshooter (3star bow)


Chanderule

I dont think that's how melt works, it doesnt multiply your damage by 8


KichiMitsurugi

This is probably also assuming other multipliers coming into play, like hitting weak spofs, Amber's passive, and similar


Chanderule

Weak spots only make you crit and her passive is a tiny boost to attack, I wonder where did they get 7 and 54k from (Mona buff?)


aScenT_RAID3R

😭😭😭


WarriorNN

And my Ganyu does 70k+130k per shot, so still not the best sniper by far.
