Do players who spend to own every character also feel like they have to spend just to build them?

I've just recently upped my spending on gacha, and I feel like I dont have a whole lot of excess energy just to farm artifacts since I have to level up characters and talents and farm more mora.

Obviously battle pass helps a lot with this but I feel like if I were someone who had to have every character it would not be enough, and I'd be forced to top up for resin refreshes so I could also actually build them.

If I wanted to do one resin refresh every day maybe then I would feel like I could comfortably farm artifacts, but that's almost 300 USD a year just to feel like you can actually use what you've already spent multiple hundreds just to actually get.

anyway, basically I'm curious about how people find the resin economy when they have every character.

IMO spending yourself into poverty with gacha isn't nearly as soul crushing as grinding for good secondary affixes with relics. I run the domain until the hat type I want drops then I just make their set out of the best of what I got

Idk how people do perfect builds

It’s maddening

I got downvoted to hell on another gachas sub reddit one time for saying this, so apparently I'm just some form of madman. But somehow I enjoy grinding for great artifacts.

What I don't like is when you farm that set for over a month and don't get what you need, but sanctifying elixir and dust of enlightenment did a good job of remedying that.

I'm at 96 characters, not all build (4* mostly), but build enough to get any Imaginary Theater done on the highest difficulty.

Never ever have I spent money or primos on refreshing Resin.

you can do a lot more dmg with cons, which kind of decreases the need for resin investment and good build.

I've been playing for about four years and have about 60 units geared and built. They don't share weapons or artefacts, so some are suboptimal, BUT I always make sure to level the units to max, same for weapons and talents, because that's where the guaranteed damage increase comes from. As long as the artefacts are good enough, I don't worry about them.
I have NEVER and will NEVER spend primos on resin refreshes or whatever. Not worth it, because I can still get most primos from endgames!

You don't have to spend 30000 resin for artifacts on every character. Get some decent builds, 25 - 30 cv pieces is usually good enough on the carries if you have good supporters, so focus your resin spending on character talents and levels first

I just get my characters to Usable state lvl 80 with important skill leveled and all mainstat pieces +20.

Then I just play normally and toss my old pieces when new fresh pieces come in.

I have to play moderately casually, I’m too busy to game as much as I’d like. I recently started leveling up all the characters I have. I am going for getting as many as I can but I am going in with the mindset that it will take a long time and I may not achieve that. So it’s not very stressful.

I'll give my honest perspective here.

According to Hoyolab, I have 92 characters.

18 of them aren't built at all. They e got some level for a free standard wish, but that's it. I have another 3 who are just leveled and geared enough for Imaginarium Theater.
That's 71 left, but two of them are the Mannequins, so they don't count.

That means I've been playing since 1.0, and managed 69 (nice) characters built. This is with *high* levels of spending (multiple C6) and consistent use of the battle pass. Breaking it down, that *approximately* one character a month. However, there's a LOT of overlap in actual Domains farmed. For example, several characters are on Golden Troupe (Furina, Fischl, Albedo, Escoffier, Faruzan, and Lisa). That makes it far more efficient, and allows me to hyper invest into the character I want while still passively building others.

Put differently, most of my characters are ranked in the <5% on Akasha with no Resin Refreshes (seriously, don't spend on that).

That said, spending money to C0/R0 every character is a terrible idea. You'll have a lot of variety, but your account will never be *good*, and you'll still struggle with endgame, despite spending. If you want to spend, it's a much better choice to pick who you like, get their best Teams, and do some investment with early Cons and Weapons.

It will save you tons of resources, help you focus on characters you enjoy, and actually build some significant account strength.

Finally, make sure you're using something like [Lootbar ](https://lootbar.gg/a/Dlg90C) if you are spending. It really does add up, even on small amounts. It saved me about $250 on my C6 Columbina pulls.

Spending primos on stamina is whale behavior. Live service games require some patience. Resources are less of an issue the longer you play, but if starting out one needs to be strategic. Get passable artifacts and don't over-focus on any particular area

Crymsyn_Moon2026-01-17 19:15

I own every character, everyone (except the Manekins) are at least 80/90. Talents and artifacts range from min/maxed to whatevers available depending on how often they see use.

Do not spend on resin refreshes unless money is no object for you. It's not worth it. You can build everyone if you have some patience so long as you aren't demanding the perfect artifacts for them.

Nice, what other people are saying is true enough, but not really what I was asking. I was hoping someone with actual relevant experience to the question would drop an answer.
