Should You Pull? F2P, Low-Spend, and Value Strategy

F2P/Low-Spend

  • Jahoda’s debut can be a game-changer for Dendro teams. If you lack a consistent Dendro applicator or the new meta weapon, consider 20–30 pulls post-trial run for personal evaluation.
  • Banner overlap: Monitor for potential reruns—rumors (unconfirmed) suggest a strong 5-Star hydro rerun in Phase 2; weigh team needs versus future Primogem reserves.
  • Pity & rates: Standard soft-pity applies (75 pulls soft; 90 pulls hard for limited banners). F2P character-focused players should plan for one focus banner per patch unless stacking top-ups or event windfalls.

Banner Currency/Planning

  • Primogem Sourcing:
    • Weekly events
    • Spiral Abyss refresh (bi-monthly)
    • New achievement bundles introduced in 6.2
  • Tip: Reserve Intertwined Fates for featured 5-Star targets; skip weapon banners unless building for competitive Spiral Abyss or specific meta content.

Preparation Checklist: Get Ready for 6.2

Before the banner drops, maximize your Primogem gains and materials:

  • Transmute resin on weekends for mats; prioritize Dendro-specific weapon/ascension domains
  • Stock up Talent Books: (Mondays/Thursdays rotate Dendro books, check daily domain schedule)
  • Clear World Bosses relevant to Dendro upgrades; reset Monday 04:00 UTC+8
  • Pre-farm 4-Star artifacts with versatile substats if aiming for new Jahoda loadouts

Teams & Synergies: Jahoda’s Early Comps

  • Budget Dendro Spread: Jahoda + Xingqiu + Fischl + Yaoyao for consistent application and off-field reaction damage
  • Meta Alt (if available): Nahida + Jahoda + Yelan + Kuki Shinobu balances AOE and survivability
  • Notes: Early synergy testing is advised; Jahoda’s utility on Elemental Burst rotations is untested as of the initial banner period. Avoid triple Dendro comps until resonance changes are confirmed.

Troubleshooting: Common 6.2 Pitfalls

  • Event deadlines: Time-gated tasks won’t rerun—complete milestone stages early
  • Upgrade bottlenecks: Daily resin caps are a limiting factor; stockpile fragile resin
  • Banner regrets: If torn between Patch 6.2 units, trial characters in the test arena before investing
  • Currency drain: Don’t overcommit pulls in Phase 1 if rumors of a powerful rerun in Phase 2 prove accurate (monitor early.gg updates)

FAQ: Pity, Dupes & Resource Flow

  • Pity/dupe interaction: Pulling duplicate Jahoda copies increases constellation power—evaluate diminishing returns for F2P
  • Resource bottlenecks: Skill books and ascension gems are time-limited; resin management is critical
  • Event refund policy: Not stated in official materials
  • Cross-server rewards: No cross-region event bonuses confirmed

What’s Next: Post-6.2 Watchlist

Jahoda’s debut sets the tone for meta evolution heading into Autumn. Patch 6.2’s limited banners and time-limited events supply both new tools and FOMO pressure, but patient F2P planning will mitigate resource drains.
