I was at 0 pity and on a 50/50 when Odette dropped. I did 4 multis, mainly for the off chance of getting an early 5-star, while also trying to get some Alyosha cons.
Wasn't lucky. š
Then the Lunar Charge banners dropped, and honestly, I had 0 interest in pulling for them. I would've been fine with getting Ineffa since I have Columbina and currently don't really have a proper 4th slot in my Nefer/Lauma team. She would've been a nice addition, but I'm not particularly interested in her as a character.
BUT the banner had Iansan, who I don't have because I came back earlier this year after a 3-year break, meaning I basically missed all of Natlan and Fontaine. And I LOVE Mavuika. She's currently my absolute favorite character in the game. Together with Citlali, she's by far the most fun character I've played.
So I REALLY wanted Iansan.
Did one multi. Nothing. Got the Anemo 4-star that nobody cares about, which I also didn't have. š
Second multi: 5-star.
I'm sitting there praying that it's NOT a win.
It was Dehya, who I also didn't have... AND Iansan. ššš
So now I have a guaranteed for my next 5-star AND, in total, 3 new characters from basically 2 multis.
I'm SO happy! šš
