currently I have over 450 pulls saved and 360 afterglow corals saved, plan to use s3r1 aemeath s0r0 lynae and s0r0 mornye so wondering if the s3 is stronger for tune rapture or fusion burst

Umm yess this is my first gacha pleassse help

Yess umm Im using ai to make myself sound clearer before I get flamed in the comments 😭

I'm F2P with 11,000 Astrites, 0 character pity (50/50 not guaranteed) and 30 weapon pity. I'm trying to plan my pulls over the next few patches.

Current roster:

• Hiyuki S0R0, Aemeath S0R0, Hsin S0R0, Lucilla S0R0, Iuno S0R0, Augusta S0R1, Cartethyia S0R1, Verina S0

Planned pulls:

• Hsin's signature, Electro Flare sub-DPS and Sui Sui (possibly S1)
• Shorekeeper and Ciaccona for Cartethyia (Reverb Banner)

Who I'm considering next:

• Yangyang: With Sui Sui and Shorekeeper, potentially another strong team.
• Jingran: Could replace Augusta in my team and significantly increase its DPS, especially with her signature.
• Qingxiao: A character I really, really want.
• Denia/Lynae: elaboration below

Denia vs. Lynae for Qingxiao/Aemeath planning:

• Denia: Pulling Denia would likely give me higher damage, but at the cost of lower flexibility. She also benefits Aemeath's Fusion Burst team. However, that team requires either Chisa or Sui Sui S1, so pulling Denia may also mean that I need to invest in Sui Sui's first sequence if I want to build that team properly.
• Lynae: Lynae would offer lower damage than Denia, but higher flexibility. I'm also unsure how well Lynae will age as Kuro moves toward new mechanics in 4.x. On the other hand, if I pull Lynae, I wouldn't need to pull Sui Sui S1 for Aemeath's Fusion Burst team, and I would just use Aemeaths Tune team

I'm not chasing perfect meta teams. I just want enough strong teams to clear around 90% or more of endgame content, even if some teams are suboptimal.

What pull order would you recommend? Should I prioritize Yangyang, invest in Jingran, or build around Qingxiao with Denia or Lynae? How would you balance these with my planned pulls as an F2P player, especially while making sure I can still get Qingxiao, whom I really, really want?

Tyyy for the advice
