Losing 50/50 Sucks

Losing the 50/50’s suck. Especially for a FTP player. For whales, yes it sucks but here’s another hundred and boom, you got what you wanted. FTP? Another fire unit gone bc of 50/50 gods. I just lost the Ineffa 50/50 to qiqi, and am devastated. I have barely enough time to hit pity again and had no opportunities to farm primos. I have all regions 100%, including Natlan and the small little ones in other nations, so I have nothin but dailies and events to look forward to. I’ve missed out on Lauma, Mavuika twice, Arle three times now, and now Ineffa. Which, might not seem a lot but for a FTP player who always hits pity around 76 pulls, it is a lot. Great units I’ve missed bc I had to lose. Honestly, does anyone know how to cope? I am ftp who spends lightly, maybe a welkin here and there and maybe a bundle if I get lucky. This is probably a sappy post and most of people will probably just think, “WAH WAH it’s just a game” but as someone who puts hours into farming primogems this really sucks over and over again. Guess I’ll continue trying to farm for ineffa these next 12 days. Wish me luck everyone

I'm a BP + Welkin buyer and I have lost every true 50/50 except for one. Capturing Radiance has made my suffering more bearable, but if I had won some of those 50/50s, I could have literally saved myself like 500 fates.

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:29

I’ve gotten one capturing radiance and that was during my Xilonen pulls after 80 pity- it’s truly awful. I might have to consider trying to buy the BP if it’s worth it, but honestly I wish they’ed make the odds a little better. Like hsr with the 75/25. Or at least not have soft pity be freaking 73 💔 it’s so rough out here

SailcrVee2026-01-22 16:35

Yeah...Genshin has many layers of pure RNG. But honestly, I would gladly lose every 50/50 if it gave me godlike artifact luck but I don't get that either. I'm swimming in flat def and HP rolls...

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:55

In my book as long as it’s shiny I’m fine with it. But it truly is the worst, even with the feathers and new transmuter system, getting good artifacts is so difficult!! I wish you luck with your farming!!

Do you know any reliable leakers? Or where to find leaks for upcoming banners? I do skip banners I don’t care for, planning to skip Zibai and Neuvi rerun, and I do all my events. It’s just I have so many favorite characters and as someone who pulls for who they love instead of meta, losing is a double blow. Knowing a schedule would be amazing if you could provide any 🙏

xBoAOV2026-01-22 16:29

Really hate to be that guy but it really is just a game. The way to cope is to Accept that. Won't say your suffering is not real though because I too have been depressed over losing 50/50s, but ultimately I just have a lot of hobbies outside of games

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:32

Unfortunately for someone like me, this game is my entire life. I have one other hobby which is art, so genshin and hoyo games all together is what I spend most of my day doing. As I said, I know it’s just a game, but it’s still devastating when you put in 5+ hours into farming just to lose the 50/50. For someone like me it’ll take ages to get over this 🫠

No_Wishbone_67942026-01-22 16:32

why do you spend anything? Thats not F2P! You can cope by learning that you dont need all the characters and that FOMO is absolutely not necessary

Hojuma2026-01-22 16:36

I really don't get the attachment to being F2P. Why do they even hold on to that when they're not actually F2P?

Hojuma2026-01-22 16:33

I hate not having enough pulls to get the character I want. Even worse when I know I'm guaranteed and just a couple pulls to get to pity. That happened to me on HuTao's banner on her release. I used my welkin crystals and even overcapped my welkin duration by a few days. I think max is 180 days and you can't buy more than that. Since then, I've just saved for guarantee. I've resolved myself to never pull unless I can guarantee the character. This lead me to be more picky on who to pull and better plan my pulls by looking at leaks and stuff.

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:46

That’s a really good way on seeing it, and sorry about your hutao pulls. It’s even worse when you miss a character and all of a sudden they’re the best character in the game, but by the time their rerun comes there’s already better ones. I’ve been planning on just making a schedule to skip all new characters and wait for my favs to get a rerun, since the new ones aren’t appealing to me. I wish you luck on all of your future pulls! Thank you for being kind about it.

padoru_padoru2026-01-22 16:34

You lose some, you win some. Thats how it works in real world especially on gambling where the house is the only one who wins... Set a rule for youself like only pulls when you saved up at least 25-30k primos or really think if u need/want the character or not, reruns are a thing... Most importantly, dont chase the meta because you are the only one who'll lose in the end because its never ending pulling for newer stronger units, also dont be swayed by fomo..

I've adapted this mindset 4 years ago, like i only pull when i have at least 30k+ primos and never pull weapon banner unless absolutely needed... I have mavuika, citlali xilonen from natlan, skirk premium with furina escoffi and only have ineffa columbina for nodkrai.... Only have nahida as my sole sumeru unit and furina arlechino as my fontaine unit and all excess gems for 1-2 years goes to natlan and skirk... Completely F2P since 4 years ago

magnidwarf19002026-01-22 16:34

Maybe don't gambling if you can't handle losing

Traditional_Elk20462026-01-22 16:41

As F2P primo management is an important part of the game. I just take for granted the 50/50 lost and plan accordingly. This means not pulling unless I have 180 wishes saved

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:49

I plan to do so! I really wanted Ineffa but now at least I can be guaranteed for whenever another one of my favs comes back. As sad as it is, it opens the door to another opportunity!! Good luck on all your future pulls!!

Mother-Squirrel73062026-01-22 16:43

As f2p i always try to follow the rule to have a sure pull (28k) for char i like OR have at least 40k for char i want to c0r1 with weapon

That means skipping a lot i know but ensures the char always goes home

If theres a char i like while not having the required jades on release i skip completely. ( ineffa😭)

Edit ( i used zzz terms so changed that ) haha

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:47

The most I’ve had was 17k crystals and that was over four months of saving for Neuvi rerun. After that disaster I’ve just been going with the flow. Maybe I’m not as devoted as I thought!! That’s a very good way of seeing it, too. I should try to do that! Thank you for being kind, and no worries about the zzz terms, I play it too so I would’ve understood lol. Good luck on all your future pulls!!!

Mother-Squirrel73062026-01-22 16:54

I actually dont like anyone now in nod krai ( but i like the story so much dont get me wrong ) except for columbina and i feel i wont make the most use out of her w/o lunar reactions so im skipping her. So no nod krai team for me am all in tsaritza next version!!!

P.S. if jahoda was a 5 star that probably would have been too hard to resist

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:57

Unfortunately for me I adore literally everyone in Nod Krai so that’s why I’ve been pulling. If I hadn’t I would’ve skipped most this region. And it is smart not to get columbina without other lunar reactions, and hey, you’ll have a ton for when the next region is out!! I wish you luck 🤝

Mother-Squirrel73062026-01-22 16:59

Sorry for making this thread long but IF sandrone comes out and she’s like non lunar reaction based so i can use old teams ugh that will he so hard to resist!!

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 17:01

No need to apologize!! I will absolutely be pulling Sandrone since she was one of the people on the list for nod Krai characters. Let’s hope she’s non lunar!!

Mother-Squirrel73062026-01-22 17:02

Coping for a tea party synergy with bina sandrone and father.

Charming_Case_72082026-01-22 16:48

I get you it's frustrating.

Personally I wouldn't spend the next 12 days farming unless you think you can 100% secure the unit. Will burn yourself out further otherwise.

Also best not too get too attach to units you can't secure. FPS goals should be to get a select few units every region, don't wager on the gamble. If you don't you run the risk of starting an addiction and emotions get played. It's the predatory nature of gacha games, and how they make their money.

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 16:52

I agree. As much as I love ineffa, getting another 80 pulls is definitely not something I can do in 12 days with nothing to farm. So, I’ll just take this guaranteed and save for another character I adore to get a rerun. It sucks all my favs happen to be meta 💔 I look like a meta slave but I just pull for who I love so losing sucks even more!! But I have hope for the future. May all your pulls be blessed!! Thank you for being kind about it 💕

Charming_Case_72082026-01-22 16:55

>I’ll just take this guaranteed and save for another character I adore to get a rerun.

Yep, best way to think about it! Can secure yourself Mav since she should be the next archon to rerun.

Anyways, wish you the best.

Nexius_2026-01-22 17:01

this is why you save up until you have enough to guarantee

PatysRozrabiaka2026-01-22 17:04

I won only one 50/50 out of 8

Express_Gazelle_52642026-01-22 17:05

Everytime I post something I am reminded over and over again how hard it is for others to be nice to others. Am muting this because seriously the negativity isn’t helping my situation and isn’t necessary at all. Seriously, I cannot post anything without getting people being unnecessarily rude for no reason. I don’t ask to fight with people, I simply posted my feelings. Thank you for those who were nice, but I’m not responding anymore 🫠

FrostLoop1882026-01-22 17:21

It's more than just a game. Take note: YOU. ARE. GAMBLING. Sometimes you win. Most times you lose. And of course, the house always wins.

ElricaLavandula2026-01-22 19:51

I was a low spender in the past (got Welkin for a while and a couple of BPs), but back then I also never expected to win the 50:50 when pulling.

I haven't spent anything in Genshin for 2 years now, and yeah, it's so much more difficult. But I was still able to get everyone I *really* wanted by just not getting the characters where I thought "might be nice to have". When I really want someone, I skip other characters. I always assume it takes at least 150-160 pulls to get a character. And I never prefarm unless I'm certain I can get someone.

I'm not defending the gacha system, just trying to tell you what I do not to be too disappointed when you lose the 50:50. I'm still disappointed whenever I lose though, haha. xD

If you don't have enough and still want to try getting someone, just accept that it might not work out. And save for the rerun. I had to do that many times. Save, and always keep enough primogems to get that character instead of using all for the next one. That's why I often calculate my pulls.

Neospanner2026-01-22 22:05

A f2p can't have everything, but if they save and spend only on the things they want most, they can have most things.

If losing a 50/50 depresses you, don't roll at all unless you have enough wishes to guarantee the character even if you lose. When you have under 180 wishes in reserve, go into saving mode. Ignore all banners - no matter HOW tempting they might be! - until you bring your reserves up to 180 or more wishes. Once you have those wishes in hand, start planning out which 5-stars you'd like to have.

Having those wishes in-hand also preps you for "surprise" banners like Chronicles, in which you have too little warning to work up to a guarantee from nothing.

After the first time building up a 180-wish reserve, future build-ups become easier because it never ACTUALLY takes 180 wishes to get a character. You'll always have some leftover to start your next reserve - and if you actually win the 50/50, you're more than halfway there already.

If you do decide you're going to roll on a banner with too few wishes, assume that you're going to lose. You're rolling for a Standard 5-star, not the banner character. Never hold out hope, or tell yourself, "Surely I can't be unlucky forever?" Yes. Yes you can.

Assume the worst, prepare for the worst - and the worst can't touch you.

issm2026-01-23 01:26

And this is why you ignore all the people telling you Genshin is different from all the other gacha games, and treat Genshin like the gacha game it is.

Getting characters and weapons is gambling, like every other gacha game.

Like every other gacha game, if you don't have enough pulls to get a pity guarantee, then you don't have that character.

Like every other gacha game, you will never get all the characters you want, because gacha games paywall content in the form of characters.
