that's understandable.
I usually keep my main team which is literally Xiao, Ayaka, Yanfei and Noelle.
Noelle is often switched out between Bennett. They are the only healers
i use for Xiao cause that boi needs help LOL.

i just can't use it well enough. so i only use her as a very minor healing support.
but she is the best to catch the crystalflies for condensed resin.

I was also using Beidou before i got Xiao.
but i am working to build her better because she is still pretty powerful.
tho Yanfei's dmg is unbeatable right now. She could pass as a main dps even
from how well i've built her so far.

you can still get 4 stars from the standard banner. I ended up getting Thoma from it and i hadn't had Thoma and then i got c1 Thoma lol.
but she may be on the banner after Ayato's.
I feel she is gonna have a rerun because Sara had one and it seems all Inazuma characters are having one.

Diluc i didn't really like much. he is 80 but he doesn't deal dmg at all
right now until i decide to farm artifacts for him.

Not necessarily. you can honestly get the 4 stars
through standard as it's very random.
it's just isn't a high chance for them like when they're on the character banner.
it's how i ended up getting fischl c1 finally since her banner has been so rare.

i feel so-so for him.
the one i really want is Mona. I haven't gotten Mona yet.
i wish i had gotten her instead of c1 Jean lol.
But now jean is c1 i have to level her lol.

yeah true. tho there is still a chance. idk how i got so lucky to get thoma c1 when his banner was done and over with lol.
tho got sacrificial sword finally last night on standard. so im happy with that.

Kaeya and Diluc probably the least characters i like with their play style.
like the characters just don't really want to use them lol.

usually for pity, the soft spot is about 85. rarely it will be before then.
but even if not getting raiden there is always next time when her banner comes around again.
and it pushes the banner for whoever you want since it transfers over for the 2.7 update.
