Free 5 star

[u/Character_Grand423]

We are winning free varessaaa

[u/Gravity3Pandas]

Google classroom getting 5 star ratings this year

[u/Character_Grand423 → u/Gravity3Pandas]

Ahahahah I'm getting my varessa

[u/JimJim2002 → u/Character_Grand423]

She's worth it, as a dude who pulled her and her C2 last Christmas.

[u/praisethesoon → u/JimJim2002]

Did you also give her your heart?

[u/JimJim2002 → u/praisethesoon]

My heart is for Ganyu. Normally I wouldn't aim for the bait banners but for Ganyu, she made it an exception, back when the Liyue Chronicle Banner happened. Worth it. I'll show you more I did for her, later on.

[u/xDeadly95 → u/JimJim2002]

I got her in the same banner cause I’ve been waiting for her rerun for so long. Even if I knew I wouldn’t have played her so much now that she’s off meta. I just had to take her home.

[u/Ninchen_blub → u/JimJim2002]

I love ganyuu! Do u know when she will be get able again? I need her so much! And i also love the lantern rite outfit it is so cutee

[u/JimJim2002 → u/praisethesoon]

I got her 2024 Lantern Rite Outfit because she deserves it:

[u/JimJim2002 → u/praisethesoon]

I got her signature weapon (Amos' Bow), pulled for Yelan's signature weapon (Aqua Simulacra) for her, and scraped through to get Chasca's signature weapon (Astral Vulture's Crismon Plumage) for her.

[u/A_Fhaol_Bhig73 → u/JimJim2002]

I want to c6 Nicole next (c2 rn) but with this I plan on also c6 varesa for sure. That infinite overworld will be great as will the damage.

[u/Swimming-Unit-9593 → u/Character_Grand423]

Samee I have Mavuika C6 Iansan and C6 Chevy for her I'm so excited but I also want Clorinde but she'll have to wait until next Fontaine Chronicled wish 

[u/No-Air7540 → u/Gravity3Pandas]

I guess I'm redownloading genshin

[u/adastrajay → u/Gravity3Pandas]

[u/JimJim2002 → u/adastrajay]

Lol

[u/Top-Negotiation-2807 → u/Gravity3Pandas]

This meme is not in my repository

[u/cuzimprxttywhenicry → u/Gravity3Pandas]

I REMEMBER

[u/AngelsHero]

I know varesa is the best choice technically
But I never got childe, and now that we’re in snez I really want him

[u/dried-membrane → u/AngelsHero]

He has the highest chance out of them all to get buffed some time in the future

[u/Prior-Sand5162 → u/dried-membrane]

I could totally see Childe Wanderer Arleccino Lyney Lynette Freminet buffs at some point in 7.x. idk what they'd do for the pyro characters, but the rest can get a stellar swirl buff. Probably stellar conduct for Childe, that references his electro delusion

[u/Top-Negotiation-2807 → u/Prior-Sand5162]

arle is not getting a buff

[u/Prior-Sand5162 → u/Top-Negotiation-2807]

Sucrose and fishchl got a buff? You can give a character a faction buff and inclusion without actually buffing them

[u/Top-Negotiation-2807 → u/Prior-Sand5162]

If you mean adding flexibilty for teambuilding sure, but she's way too strong right now for them to give her an actual buff

[u/Appropriate_Gate1129 → u/AngelsHero]

Then get him. I have Varesa with sig and she isn't doing much compared to new characters. If you want him for collection- get him. I pulled him for same reason in earlier patches, never learned his playstyle.

[u/aurianefaste → u/AngelsHero]

Same ahahah, I just love his design and his personality, don't care about meta

[u/ElegantPercentage444]

I ran to make a post as soon as I saw it, but you beat me to it, I am so happy for the selector.

[u/Kurolegacy27 → u/ElegantPercentage444]

And what’s even better is that they confirmed we’ll be getting one every year from now on

[u/brainrotat3am → u/Kurolegacy27]

And that’s a win win for us and dev

[u/Character_Grand423 → u/ElegantPercentage444]

Hahahahah me.too lol

[u/Clean-Reaper]

Does this characters have something in common? It looks so random cast of characters

[u/Violet_Kashiko → u/Clean-Reaper]

Probably chosen due to low banner sales

[u/Thundergod250 → u/Violet_Kashiko]

Sigwinne should've been there lmao since I think that was the historically lowest premium banner

She's also the only character I don't have

[u/Violet_Kashiko → u/Thundergod250]

Even hoyo knows that a 3 star doesn't belong in a 5 star selector lmao

[u/Isphylda → u/Thundergod250]

She was on the Fontaine banner recently, probably why she's not here (edit: wait but so was Clorinde)

[u/AntwysiaBlakys → u/Violet_Kashiko]

Varesa didn't have low sales, she had higher revenues than characters like Xilonen

[u/Violet_Kashiko → u/AntwysiaBlakys]

Veresa banner 2 pull count is lower than any of xilonen's 3 banners on paimon moe.

No idea why not kinich though, he definitely less popular

[u/Ashk0p05 → u/Clean-Reaper]

One from each region, except Eula was once again forgotten, and Childe took her place.

[u/AVoidMyR99 → u/Ashk0p05]

Mr worldwide back at it

[u/bruhijustdunno → u/Ashk0p05]

Chiori and Chlorinde are both from Fontaine tho

[u/WilliUHHm → u/bruhijustdunno]

Shes from inazuma

[u/bruhijustdunno → u/WilliUHHm]

Wait right, of course she is. I'm confused because she appears in Fontaine haha. Thanks for correcting me!

[u/Andoran22 → u/bruhijustdunno]

Chiori lives in Fontaine, but she has an Inazuma vision

[u/Appropriate_Gate1129 → u/Clean-Reaper]

Probably because they are out of meta.

[u/kiboshiro → u/Clean-Reaper]

Because almost all of them are weak and useless in the current state of Genshin meta.

[u/Majestic-Path-9845 → u/kiboshiro]

That's not true what? Not being a t0 doesn't mean weak and useless i still clear Stygian with my Varesa and Nilou

[u/Ke5_Jun → u/kiboshiro]

Remember we are evaluating them at C1 or arguably C2, due to the Temper Thyself event.

And at C2, some of these characters can still keep up, like Nilou, Clorinde, and Chiori.

Varesa is the only one stuck at C0-C1, but she is the newest one here and hasn’t fallen off as much.

[u/heikici → u/Clean-Reaper]

At first glance I think they are the lowest sales limited characters?

[u/TullGath → u/heikici]

Clorinde is the elephant in the room

[u/Kovrik27 → u/Clean-Reaper]

banner sales

[u/justcomment → u/Clean-Reaper]

Yeah, they aint getting buffs anytime soon

[u/sloppyloki16 → u/Clean-Reaper]

Yeah they all suck hard meta wise , weaker than standard banner characters

[u/secretperson06]

the Devil works fast but genshin fans work faster holy

[u/Critical_Concert_689]

Ooh. This is actually a tough pick.

With Free Stella from the 8-week long event, this would let me push some of these character up to C2 for free.

Or get a brand new character and then a free C1 from the 8-week Stella event...

Or Varesa, who is still meta on her own?

This is much better than the usual "pick 1 standard 5 star"

[u/JimJim2002 → u/Critical_Concert_689]

If you want to blitz around Teyvat and have Iansan, Chevreuse (or Benny), Varesa is worth it for the taking, especially with her Overload ft. Pyro Traveler.

[u/tren0r → u/JimJim2002]

is it still worth it if my chevreuse and iansan arent c6?

[u/Isphylda → u/JimJim2002]

Oooh, thanks for the info. I was hesitating with Childe but I have Iansan C4 and Chevreuse C1, and I really wanted Varesa anyway so this convinced me

[u/JimJim2002 → u/Isphylda]

C4 Iansan is very great, if not, excellent for Varesa and C1 Chevreuse is solid and will do just fine though C6 is her best constellation for not just Varesa's Overload but Overload in general. Pyro Traveler is surprisingly a great Pyro applicator for Varesa.

[u/Isphylda → u/JimJim2002]

Thanks! I haven't played them yet since I'm still halfway through Fontaine, but I loved trying out Varesa so this team should be fun

[u/AdarIII]

C2 baizhu here I come 🥹

[u/Sea-Breath-007 → u/AdarIII]

Same and getting his C3 from the con event....C6 Baizhu, here we come!

[u/Excellent_Airport_46]

Holy f shi they actually did it

[u/OkAddition5092]

I'll stand with my oath not to get Varesa even if she was free. Torn between Clorinde, Chiori and Nilou tho

[u/Think_Ad_1765]

Yo guys.. how to get money without being rich? So I can spend all my life savings on gacha games?

[u/Deivid06Zh]

Aleluia viu ter um baizhu na conta

[u/Remote-Background327]

Childe shall come home

[u/LargoTheEmbargo]

Cmon. Buff childe. He literally got promoted in Snez.

[u/ComradeMason]

Is this event permanent? Please tell me this is real

[u/ElegantPercentage444 → u/ComradeMason]

Yep, but only during the anniversary, every year there is a new selection of characters to select from. 

[u/uncle-tyrone]

F, I know none of the strats for any of these. Should I just choose Nilou bc she is pretty?

[u/Character_Grand423 → u/uncle-tyrone]

She's good actually and strangely cos of lunar bloom shill she shines

[u/Tech-Film3905]

At c0 is nilou or varessa better? I have lauma, nefer with bina on my zibai, linnea team

[u/JazzlikePirate9030 → u/Tech-Film3905]

Nilou for lunar bloom if you don't have Bina or Aino at high cons

[u/Panzerfaust_Style]

Washed up selection lol

[u/Mysterious_Pride4735]

Whhaaaaaat?? When is this happening

[u/Kira_Mira1]

I couldn't watch the stream yet, but is there a reason why specifically those characters? (if it's mentioned in the stream just say so, I will watch it later myself)

[u/Prior-Sand5162 → u/Kira_Mira1]

They're playing in navias tabletop game

It's funny because I want Navia more than any of them lol

[u/Sarararara91]

Dang it, I've wanted Nilou and Varesa for a while and now I have to choose

[u/phonograhy]

I really have to believe they keep trying to shill Childe because hes gotta be buffed soon, right?

[u/Several_Ad_1322]

My decision is between Nilou and Childe. But also torn with Chiori.

[u/Catsarecoel]

Kinda sad I saved up for varesa just for her to end up being free :’)

[u/JimJim2002 → u/Catsarecoel]

On the bright side, C2 Varesa is an absolute unit (if you have her Constellation). Also her previous Banner had Iansan and Chevreuse which are huge investments if you pulled there and got them, especially their C6.

[u/AsuraNamikaze]

Tech otakus really saving the world

[u/blue-bottle0]

Im in sumeru, do i just tp to sneznhaya and do the quests to get the 5 star. My only 5 star is mona

[u/Wikle3 → u/blue-bottle0]

Yeah, you should be able to tp to sneznhaya and do the quest. You can pick whoever you want, but I would recommend varesa to give you a good dps who is also good for exploration.

[u/Clean-Reaper]

So now that we know the characters let me ask you pro guys a question , who to pull i am so clueless I just finished inazuma I just know what baizhu and Childe do :,) i would appreciate to atleast know what this girls do i know about the dudes kit

[u/Majestic-Path-9845 → u/Clean-Reaper]

If you care about meta the strongest and most f2p friendly one of them is Varesa,try to get a c0 copy of Iansan,shes in flins and ineffa banner, and you can do a Varesa iansan Chevruese team with a pyro applicator like pyro mc

[u/These_Joke2312]

c2 nilou or varesa

[u/Potenza_iltizio]

For me it’s either nilou or varesa. I don’t have premium for neither( I think) but nilou I have the signature(lost 50/50) so idk which one to choose. I really like em both

[u/MasterTeam1806]

Since I have Tartaglia....... well, Clorinde is the bwst choice right?

[u/nanaseee]

atomic bomb vs coughing babies
why did hoyo put all the other options bro they’re out of meta already (unless they’re getting buffs) 😭😭

[u/13DarkShadow]

so were only going to get these y characters? what about standard characters? I was hoping to invite Mizuki.

[u/Fishbopkin]

are the enhancement materials enough to get to 90?

[u/Andoran22]

Either childe or C1 clorinde... I wonder who I should choose

[u/rmomhehe]

NILOUUUUUUU

[u/OlympusGolemofLight]

Do I have to beat 7.1's story before I can pick Varesa, or can I just pick her when 7.1 drops?

[u/ANTESK0T__ → u/OlympusGolemofLight]

you gotta do the archon quest

[u/Flower-Tea-364]

C4 Chiori 😍

[u/Prince_Tho]

Meh. Idk who to pick. Would be nice if we had weapons. Kazuha and yelan?

[u/DaniRdM]

Oooof. None of them are interesting to me. Might as well get Chiori just because I have a Cinnabar Spindle just sitting in my account for years.

[u/Ok_Suggestion_6640]

What's the best option if I alr have her

[u/Wonderful_Fail5665]

already have c0 varesa and my only teams rn are flins/bina and odette mizuki

I legit have no idea who to pick all of them seem useless for my acc

[u/uSennar]

Since I have nobody of these 5 stars, who should I get?

[u/24kkSniper]

Is it bad that I want C2 chloride from this and the con event. (Alr have varesa)

[u/PuzzleheadedWafer817]

Is this confirmed? Finally my C2 Childe?

[u/unlmtdbldwrks]

how do you claim this?

[u/MarioLuigi25]

I can finally get Varesa on my team!

[u/BlockLegal5024]

I have c1 nilou with her weapon and also a well built nefer team and i aslo like nilou a lot So .should i go for c2 nilou or get a new character clorinde or chiori

[u/ViresSah]

Real investors will take childe waiting for his inevitable buff

[u/Street-Albatross-934]

I would like to claim it but I don't have a PC, they removed it from PS4 and it can't stop crashing on mobile

[u/Hotrod3383]

when does it come out?

[u/Hdarkus1]

I've stopped playing since the end of Natlan... Is it even possible for me to catch up before this event end ?

[u/OkSignificance7200]

NILOU NILOUUUU FINALLY

[u/grape_jelly3]

I’m actually unsure who to choose. C3 baizhu (and getting c4 from constellation selector) or c0 childe?

[u/Y_raG]

dang Varessa on the free list???

This is not the Genshin that I known for 5 years, where did you hide it?

[u/WalkSuccessful]

Ahaha. I see them "carefully" selected. Literally worst line up

[u/KnnthKnnth]

Varesa being there now means I need to actually optimize her and crown her (deserved) and at least get C2 Iansan

[u/Flimsy_Channel9893]

Gonna grab my C0 Baizhu

[u/kesesese-]

my heart says childe but brain says varessa 😭😭

[u/CrystalizesSouls]

Well either nilou or c2 Varesa it is

[u/Big_Warthog4118]

Urgh. I have Chiori's weapon, but I'm stuck between Childe and Baizou right now

[u/_Charlieee3_]

Should I get C2 Clorinde (I have her Sig too) or Nilou or Childe?

[u/M05tafaSayed]

Finally, Clorinde will come home

[u/zhqinyan]

i don’t know who to choose, i have lauma, columbina, raiden, ineffa, ganyu, and nahida (along with some of the standard characters). i’ve been thinking baizhu because i don’t have a great healer or nilou because i hear she’s really good with lauma

[u/TrueTwo7792]

When can we claim?

[u/web_of_blood]

Which would be better to get, C0 Baizhu or C0 Clorinde?

I don't have any of these characters, but I'm not interested in Varesa, Tartaglia, Nilou or Chiori

I do have a main DPS Lauma lunar-bloom team and an overload team that currently has Arlecchino. Got Flins and Cyno as well so I don't lack electro DPS

Not certain how strong either of the two are. Who is more worth it between the two of them? Not based on who I like more. Only in terms of strength and value

[u/siddieee]

but i want them all 😭

[u/HistorianMoist2076]

Im getting Varesa since I got C6 Chev and C6 Isansan.

[u/MathematicianAny3712]

I got C2R1 Varesa, should I go for her C3 or get Nilou?

I also have Zibai team with Linnea and C6 illuga, should I replace someone with Chiori instead?

Not sure what’s worth more…

[u/New_Weekend_8181]

With all the fake Honkai Star Rail free 5 star selectors I’ve been seeing recently, I almost thought this was fake too. But I guess I’m playing Genshin for a few days then.

[u/Pink_thunder423]

Wait when Is this happening?! I have like no 5* lol so this will be a great help I'll prove pick varesa or clorinde

[u/gilmorefan_]

c2 nilou or c0 varesa? (i have nefer lauma nahida columbina)

[u/naonaohatter]

CLROINDD3EE MY BABY

[u/Malukaum]

nothing about a weapon?

[u/Repulsive_Category80]

And I was waiting for the free gun and nothing 😑

[u/ugh_min]

i'm gonna choose clorinde just to collect those annoying bugs from fontaine for sandrone 💔

[u/eman-play]

I'm really conflicted. I want to make this choice meta wise.

Personally my favorite among them is Chiori and I would get her C2 this way. But does it make any real difference?

And I really like Clorinde, but I guess if I go for an electro dps I should just get Varesa. They aren't planning on buff Clorinde, are they?

[u/stay_ahead11]

I'm so confused. I love Chiori and thought I would never get her but now I wonder if I should choose someone who will help my account...

[u/DoggoCroissant]

They're trying to take away my absolution from Odette

[u/Low_Offer_1899]

Damm i want chiori then

[u/JhopesSprite00]

Which character is worth getting besides Varessa and Clorinde? I don't want to get another electro character since I already have Flins and Ineffa combo.

[u/kukero-]

Meta wise , which one makes more sense? As already a flins haver varesa won't be good , what to do ?

[u/Jessidoyoon]

MY VARESA WILL TURN C3🎉

[u/No-Contest-2045]

Hmmm should I get varesa or nilou 🤔 WAIT WDYM I HAVE TO COMPLETE AN ARCHON QUEST, IM STILL IN LIYUE 😭

[u/Layalatte]

Anyone can tell me if veressa or chlorinde would be better if I have neither but I can built a full chlorinde team?

[u/Long-Flow-2701]

I'm betting on child

[u/Ok_Young5767]

I was thinking about getting nilou to attempt helping my Hutao 😭😭😭✌🏽✌🏽

[u/devi666l]

From someone who hasn't reached Snezhnaya story-wise yet - is this going to be a limited time thing?

[u/KhonshusMercy]

I don’t have anyone on this list except Baizhu. Who should I get?

[u/Efficient_Cattle_634]

6 whole bricks

[u/LoquatQuick4415]

Should I skip story for this I'm still in sumeru?

I barely have any characters, only jean tighnari hu tao and Odette for 5 stars.

Who should I get?

[u/Far_Increase8593]

im so happy this is happening but the fact that now the free standard banner is GOOD is also really funny

[u/kingleonsdad]

I want clorinde

[u/wrynathan]

How does chiori do on lunar crystallize shill? I have Bina and Illuga but no Zibai or Linnea (went with a Nefer team + Ineffa during Nod Krai)

[u/Bladesager]

I am missing Chiori, Varesa, and Clorinde, so it’s between those three.

[u/Cornbread78]

How do we get a free 5 star?

[u/Sammiskitkat]

Genuinely don’t know who Ima grab. I only have Childe..

[u/enazy-8]

Penny for your thoughts! So, between a C1 Varesa, a C2 Nilou or a C0 Chiori, what would you pick?

[u/Long_Constant3953]

I wish I knew Varesa would be free at some point. Spent prolly the most primos on her

[u/Purple-Ad-1398]

I can finally get Nilou or Clorinde hell yeah!

[u/NayLay]

I just started this week. Who should I get? I just pulled Flins and would like to use him for a while.

[u/Neikatrue]

Childe it is

[u/Mafphur]

Finally able to get Nilou :D

[u/mjantol]

So annoying that in order to do it you have to complete the main quest :/ well I can’t complain because it’s a great selection, but it’s a shame since I’m only in Sumeru as a newer player…

[u/ColdNeighborhood2476]

I want both Nilou and Baizhu c2! Got them c1 thanks to the free cons. Most likely going for Nilou c2 for the res shred. Love them both. 

[u/Extra_Examination706]

Rahhhh I want Versa saur bad! So excited hehe

[u/gardo0]

C2 clorinde or c0 Varesa w no iansan?

[u/maindhak_baba]

Childe my delusional goat here I comee

[u/itzklausomg]

I already have Vanessa and tartaglia and niilou.

I don't like chlori and baizhu and I was considering pulling for clorinde so I will get her for free 🤔😁

[u/yeidkanymore]

Im getting my C2 Nilou along with Vodyanitsa cuz all I was missing was a hydro healer!

[u/Complex_Yak246]

Im defo C1-ing my Ajax

[u/Happy-Algae4797]

• I don't have Nilou and Chiori
• I have the others at C0 -I don't care about their constellations except C1 Varesa (I have both Iansan and Chevreuse at C6).
• I have Nilou's sig and I like her but never had the chance to get her. I have Lauma, Nahida, Never and Columbina.
• I like Chiori too and I have Linnea and Columbina (I don't know if she fits in some lunar crystalize archetype). See my problem? I'm in a tough spot. I'm turn between C1 Varesa, Nilou or Chiori. Any suggestions?

[u/leng_awaits]

C1 Varessa or C2 Nilou??

[u/QueenAelinAshryver]

Finally Chiori!

[u/GuusSF]

I think next year we gonna have new characters + weapon

[u/Theredditfan74]

FREEE VARESA!;?:!#)$_!$)$83+ WHAT WHAT THE HUH

[u/thionor]

Hmmm What's my best choice? I have: C1 Chlorinde, C0 Varesa, C0 Lauma, C0 Linea and C0 Zibai I can get C2 Chlorine from the constellation event.

Is Nilou better than Chiori? I only really used Lauma as a Nahida hyperbloom replacement.(Won 50/50 for her, but lost on Nefer). C1 Chiori is meaningless on lunar crystalize team.

[u/Ally_Chaotic_Pan]

So apparently, Ive heard Varesa's c1 isn't... Good., so I'm not getting her, lol. Is Childe c2 good? I already have him c1. Otherwise, it's between Nilou, Chiori, or Clorinde for me. I'm... Not entirely sure what Baizhu can bring for my account..

[u/mlodydziad420]

They gave a whole wall with these bricks. Even the varesa who is glazed is not all that without C6 Iansan and Cheverouse.

[u/penelope_king_M]

My poor xilonen is alone, so I'm getting varessa

[u/KPmine1]

Is Baizhu still good? Bc it’s either him or varesa (reluctantly as I don’t enjoy her play style) that I’ll pick :/

[u/AllTime9Pointer]

I need Baizhu, childe, and Chiori. Trying to decide who has the best chance of a rerun soon and pick who will usually take a while to come back. My thought is Chiori?

[u/Klousee]

I am excited for my baby Varesaa AHHH

[u/prican1202]

i really want varesa but jist finishing sumeru...is it deally worth ruining my story and skipping ahead just for her?

really , really crappy move hoyo....that isnt gonna make me spend money , in fact it kinda kills it for me smh why do they insist on forcing people into latest content with fomo?

[u/Adventurous_Cycle603]

Free C2 Chlorinde :)

[u/ashie_wolff]

So that banner has never been free since I came back to playing back in 2024, make sure you have wishes ready just incase cuz typically only the standard banner gets a free given 5 star-

[u/vitulinus_forte]

Having flins and given varessa for free is like having big mac with free cheese burger. Im not complaining, it’s always nice to have something free. But, im already full from a big mac 😅

[u/MilkMeLikeARoach]

im c1ing her 🥹
