Draw Recommendation Ratings Standard
Our ratings are based on versatility, meta impact, and constellation value:
- ★★★★★: Irreplaceable, key card – must pull
- ★★★★☆: Excellent versatility, strong role – highly recommended
- ★★★☆☆: High versatility – consider pulling
- ★★☆☆☆: General versatility – not recommended
- ★☆☆☆☆: No satisfactory gameplay yet – skip
Ineffa Draw Suggestion (★★★★☆)
Ineffa is a 5-star Electro Polearm user introducing the Lunar-Charged reaction, converting Electro-Charged to crittable Electro DMG. She’s a flexible off-field Sub-DPS with shields, EM boosts, and team damage amps, excelling in Electro-Charged, Taser, and Quick Bloom teams. Key with Hydro/Electro mains like Clorinde, Neuvillette, or Raiden Shogun. At 0 fate, she’s a strong sense electricity counter card; 1+1 is the upper limit for f2p players. Pull if you need Electro support for Natlan teams – high value for future Nod-Krai content.
Citlali Draw Suggestion (★★★★☆)
Citlali is a 5-star Cryo Catalyst shielder with EM-scaling, RES reduction for Pyro/Hydro, and Melt/Vaporize synergy. She’s essential for Fire God (Mavuika) teams and Natta warship supplement, with 0 fate strength similar to Zhongli. Needs 2 fate for water/fire role improvements. Good with melt DPS like Hu Tao or Arlecchino. Pull if you have Mavuika or need Cryo shields for Snezhnaya prep – excellent for endgame teams.
Sethos Draw Suggestion (★★★☆☆)
Sethos is a 4-star Electro Bow DPS with good mechanics for charged shots and basic attacks. Full fate makes him one of the strongest 4-star C, but the cost rivals limited 5-stars, so not recommended to draw full fate specifically. Pull if missing 1-2 fates and use in teams – suitable for new players needing Electro DPS.
Fischl Draw Suggestion (★★★☆☆)
Fischl is a 4-star Electro Bow Sub-DPS with Oz summon for off-field damage. Key constellations at 6 fate for strong performance in teams. If missing 1-2 fates, pad appropriately if usable. Pull for Electro aggravate or taser teams – very strong with C6.
Xingqiu Draw Suggestion (★★★★☆)
Xingqiu is a 4-star Hydro Sword Sub-DPS with off-field application and Rain Swords for reduction. Key constellations at 1,2,6 for strong performance. Still shining as an opening role, suitable for萌new (new players). Old players likely full fate – pull if needing Hydro support for vaporize or bloom teams.
Should You Pull the Phase 1 Banner?
The upper half’s two 5-star roles are excellent aux vice C (support Sub-DPS), with Citlali very important in Natta warship and Ineffa a T0 level self-contained new reaction vice C. Worth drawing, especially for new players, as accompanying roles suit Ineffa for a ready team. Use Primogems on limited banners for guaranteed value.
Pro Tips for Version 5.8
- Save for Phase 2 if needing Mualani or Chasca for Hydro/Anemo teams.
- Prioritize constellations for Ineffa (C1 for Lunar-Charged DMG) and Citlali (C2 for EM and RES shred).
- Use Sunspray Summer Resort event rewards (300 Primogems, Bennett skin, Claymore) to boost your account.
