Returning after 2 years – totally confused about who to pull and what to farm

So I came back to the game after 2 years and my brain is in complete chaos right now.

I’m really interested in Columbina, but I don’t have any Lunar characters. I might pull Nefer in a future rerun, but that’s too far. On top of that, I don’t even have proper artifacts because I haven’t fully unlocked Fontaine yet natlan 0 nod krai 0

At the same time, I also want Neuvillette since his build is relatively easy and beginner/returnee friendly.

And then there’s Mavuika, who I’m 100% sure I want in the future.

All of this is honestly stressing me out —

I don’t know:

• Who I should pull now

• Who I should skip

• What I should farm first

• Whether I should focus on Archon quests or side/world quests ( I am farming for Bina rn except talent and Arti are yet to start and others are complete)

For players who are up to date with the current meta and future trends, I’d really appreciate some guidance.

What’s the smartest path for a returning player like me?

Columbina will rerun in the not too distant future. Nefer and Flins should both rerun soon. Ineffa is on the banner now and Lauma should rerun soon. Nefer wants Lauma, Flins wants Ineffa. Getting the pair should be priority before pulling Columbina. If Nefer is the one you want, you could pull Columbina now, or wait for her rerun. Just know that Nefer needs Lauma to perform optimally regardless of whether you have Columbina or not. There is a third option and that’s Zabai. Her best team is Columbina plus Gorou and Illuga, both of which are 4 stars on her banner. Nefer, Flins, and Zabai are all going to be doing insane damage at that point and the difference is negligible. I’d just pick whichever you like most and roll with it.
