Rejoining genshin after a few years.

Heya guys, so I'm restarting more like continuing my old genshin account and obviously I'm lost. I wanted some recommendations on youtubers or videos that could help me catch up a bit cuz I'm lowkey confused.

I'm an ar58 account and I basically stopped some time before dendro was introduced and then started again here and there in the middle but didn't continue, this time I actually want to catch up and try to play till the end.

I also wanna know what banners to pull on and what should I save for and what weapons are worth pulling. In a gatcha carried f2p from the start.

Hmm it depends on your roster too, but I wold suggest looking at like the trailers/kits of the 5 star characters released since then. Don't force yourself to pull for characters only if they are meta, but mainly if you like and would enjoy playing them. There are many new characters now that can support and boost your current DPS more, like durin, columbina, ineffa, escoffier, furina, etc. So its up to you who to pull/save for.

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:13

What does columbina do? So I have 4 teams, xiao, hu tao, childe, and ayaka.

National-Report-54732026-01-29 16:41

Columbina is a good lunar support charc. She can help your prev dps do lunar bloom (dendro), lunar charge (electro), and lunar crystallize (geo) depending on your dps. Based on what you wrote, unless you are interested in those types of team comps later on, she might not be the best pick atm. I would suggest ones like xilonen, escoffier (spec for ayaka), furina, and maybe some others.

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:44

Wait what is lunar a new element??

National-Report-54732026-01-29 17:20

No, its a new type of reaction. Like lunar bloom is an upgraded version of bloom for example.

Soloking_Itachi2026-01-29 16:06

You can message me if you're really interested,cuz i don't think i'm gonna drop more than half the game's rankings for a post that may never be seen💀

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:13

Lol, i just wanted to know about if there are any upcoming good characters or if any on the current banner.

Soloking_Itachi2026-01-29 16:15

None,well,actually,Neuvillette is coming,he's a very good dps,but he's not the top hydro(top 3),the rest are imo skippable,and by themselves,definetly skippable.

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:25

Is he like next banner

Soloking_Itachi2026-01-29 16:26

Yeah,with zibai.

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:27

I've seen alot of hype for zibai is she also good?

Soloking_Itachi2026-01-29 16:29

Honestly she ain't allat,people will hate me for it,it's just bias,it happens every time a new character rolls around,but even they agree you need a lot of new supports for zibai,she is not practical,and certainly not the strongest in the game,Neuvilette is decently old now,but since so many people still like him a lot,he's still kept relevant(like furina),he even got a skin just this patch.

Soloking_Itachi2026-01-29 16:31

That said,i must say zibai is an unknown factor rn,no matter what anyone tells you,there is NEVER a clear answer till atleast release date.And Zibai hasn't come yet,i'll probably have an official answer on her by the end of the version.

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:14

And wtf is going on with the dressing event I'm so lost in that does it give primos or what? 😭

Propensity72026-01-29 16:45

By dressing event, if you mean anything in Miliastra, no it does give Primogems. It's entirety designed to have its own separate gacha currency

As for meta, usually the more recent characters / new characters can easily bring you up to speed, though it's a little bit of a gross simplification

Ineffa is on her first rerun right now and she's had quite a bit of meta relevance, arguably the best of the Lunar characters so far. Incidentally she's the only one of them who doesn't actually need two Lunar characters in her team.

Lunar characters generally prefer to have at least two Lunar characters in the team (including themselves). This puts them in what's called "Ascendant Gleam" which activates certain kit effects. But they are mostly designed for three specific Lunar teams - Lunar Charged (Electro/Hydro), Lunar Bloom (Dendro/Hydro) and soon Lunar Crystallize (Geo/Hydro).

Lunar teams have had amongst the highest dps in the game of late, sitting up there with Mavuika (usually with Citlali) on who pushed the damage ceiling higher and Skirk (tied to Escoffier) who sat right behind her

In terms of speculatation about the future - so take this with a grain of salt - Lunar teams will probably be very solid for a while, maybe another 6 months to a year, but I'm expecting new gimmicks to arise when we hit Snezhnaya in late Summer. To put that into context, Mavuika teams and Skirk teams are both still pretty solid now I think, even if they're more than a few months old (Skirk) or even around a year old (Mavuika)

Also, at the start of your post, you said you were confused, but didn't really say what about specifically 👀

Unless you kinda just mean overwhelmed

Apprehensive_Can_9662026-01-29 16:52

Thanks so much for the explanation, clears out alot. And if I was a bit overwhelmed lol. I'll also watch a few youtube videos about the same to get a better idea now that ik what to look for. So I think I'll try to pull ineffa and then try to catch up with the rest.

In terms of recommended information resources, I would at least start with
\- [https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Genshin\_Impact\_Wiki](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Genshin_Impact_Wiki) for a encyclopedia style archive (or)
\- Mihoyo's own Hoyolab for an info based forum that is also a social and in-game aid (or)
\- [https://keqingmains.com/](https://keqingmains.com/) with their character and misc (ex. newbie and region) guides
Many content creators skew towards the latest changes and liking their style is a matter of personal preference.

Looking at the responses, you have a lot of questions on a wide variety of topics so at least these three different starting points will allow you a way to search answers that fit you.
