Should I pull for Ineffa/Flins or Zibai?
So I got pretty lucky after I got columbina and lost my 50/50 after 20 pulls. Now im asking myself who I should pull for. I was going for zibai but am unsure now. I could get ineffa and try to get flins altough I could loose my 50/50 to him. With zibai its easier since she and her Supports are on one Banner. What do you guys think?

- Zibai is going to be strong, but her supports being 4 stars is a downside, not an upside. Illuga sucks ass, C2 is a minimum viable level, C6 is where he becomes truly BiS. Same with Gorou and Aino, they are usable before C6 but that's where they become really worth using. So if you're only going for C0 Zibai you're unlikely to actually get her best supports to a proper level. In which case it will depend on what other characters you have (Chiori, Zhongli, Furina and Xilonen combo, Ineffa...).
So keep that in mind. If you're only going for C0, you're better off getting Ineffa now and then see which one yo uget lucky with between Zibai and Flins. If you're willing to keep pulling for 4-stars constellations, then Zibai alone can be worth attempting as long as you manage to get 2 out of the 3 four stars to C6.
Illuga being on the banner with Zibai means you get your supports while pulling her (unless you get unlucky). That means you get them for free.
If you're someone who prefers to pay for your supports, a new DPS whose doesn't have 5 star supports means they are yet to hit their ceiling, which means their power will rise even further down the road.
If their team is complete at launch, their ceiling is also capped and won't go up in the future because you already have your best supports.
If Zibai can do comparable damage to Flins while having 4 star supports, her ceiling is higher than his, because she might get 5 star supports later that do even better. She has room to grow because her supports are only 4 stars right now. That's only a good thing either way you slice it.
It's not, specifically because:
>(unless you get unlucky)
4 stars have no guarantee. Even with the boosted drop rate you could C6 your five star before you get even the C0 of the 4 star you want. I've seen people pull live on stream for Kaveh and not get a single one in 150 pulls when he was first released.
And that's for getting C0. Most 4 stars these days are balanced around their constellations. Gone are the days of C0 4-stars being relevant and meta. Illuga is completely useless before C2, and not even BiS for Zibai until C6. Aino is completely useless before C1 and not that great before C6 but she got a pass for being a hydro moonsign character.
The flins "premium" team is expensive because of 5 stars, but it's predictable. You know that it will take X pulls in the worst case to have the full team. Same with Nefer, she is arguably even cheaper to run because Lauma takes care of almost everything in this team. Zibai is not like that. Columbina is almost mandatory instead of a cherry on top because she is the only meaningful source of buffs and off-field damage for Zibai. Illuga has a lot of pressure on its constellations. If you don't already have other 5 stars to take the last slot (in which case the price ends up being the same as a Flins team), you will rely on a *second* 4 stars character having a lot of constellations (gorou).
4 stars look nice on paper, in practice they're the worst. Until hoyo makes 4 stars selectable or guaranteed, a 5-stars BiS team will be more free2play friendly than a 4-stars one.
