Who did I pull for and who did I skip? Genshin Impact 6.2-6.4 edn
I was originally going to make a wishlist of sorts, but I think it would be easier to follow the pulling plans format I often see online, starting with when I began to now!
6.2
Miss
I started playing when Durin's rerun banner was in it's last few days, and I only managed to get two wishes in before it expired. At the time, I didn't really mind missing out on him. However, after getting Varka, and also trying out his test run, I've come to realize that he's an important part of the team comp I'm running there.
Skip
Same situation as the above, however I'm counting this one as a skip mostly because I had far less interest in pulling for him than Durin, and I don't really know if I will consider pulling for him in future (even though he's another character that pairs well with Varka)
Skip/miss (?)
Putting these two together for this one, I remember playing super briefly for their banners, but beyond that there was a gap between these two and the next patch where I just didn't play at all. Their designs look fun, though!
6.3
Skip
Without knowing too much about Columbina, I actually really think she's a cool character, and I love her design (Plus very much serving Aurora vibes, which is an extra win). if she ever reruns again, I very much think I will attempt to pull for her, both for these reasons, and because I think I will need a luna-crystalize character in future. As for why I skipped her, it was about this time when I was informed that Neuvillette had a banner coming up, so I began to save for him instead.
Skip
Same reasoning as Columbina, I passed on her and Columbina's banner to save for Neuv.
Pull (C0 R1)
I was stupidly lucky here; the night his banner released, I dropped a 10x wish and got him at 5 pity. I was familiar with this character from back in the day, plus a friend of mine showed me his gameplay, so when I heard that he was having a rerun, I was immediately interested. As a new player it was probably silly of me to pull him with almost nobody to build him around, but I've since managed to throw together a team for him, and building him has been pretty decent. (also I attempted to get his C1 to prevent his charged attack from being interrupted in combat, but I ran out of time lmao)
Skip
Unfortunately, I was more invested in getting Neuv's weapon, and then his C1, so I didn't give Zibai too much thought. Her test run was fun to play, though, and given that I want to pull for Columbina in the future, Zibai could become someone I also pull later on to compliment her.
6.4
Pull (C0 R1)
I have a pyramid of needs, on top of this pyramid is a buff blond man with two claymores. I remember seeing him all over my social media when he first got announced mid last year, and the fact that I'm now actually playing this game and HAVE HIM is insane. There is more I can say about Varka, but none of it is normal and or hinged. I love him.
When his banner first released, I lost him to Qiqi at 79 pity, and got him a day or two later at 78. His banner also gave me an entire team for him through Sucrose, Bennett and Xiangling, so he's been much easier to set up than Neuv.
As of posting I'm currently looking to get his C1 for that extra bit of damage.
Skip
This was actually another character I was heavily considering getting (especially because of Varka, he needs his bf fr fr). However, with nine days left, plus the fact that I'm more focused on getting Varka's C1, I highly doubt that I will be able to pull him in time. In future though? yeah. I'll definitely pull.
Escoffier and Skirk (will add images later lol)
Skip
Once we hit the second phase I've decided I'm actually going to save for the duration of these banners instead, and may keep doing so until a character I really want comes up. (I.e Furina, Columbina, Durin etc).
