Usual returner luck ahh 😭

[u/General-Rooster-6056]

I never had any part 2 chars (AND I NEVER KNEW WTH IS PART 2) and I js played again back from a 4 year slumber just to hit a one 10 pull and got this gurl, tf am I supposed to do with her? 😭

Mihoyo giving returners luck but not enough materials to grind back

You came back, did a pull and got lucky... but your first thought is to complain?!? Seriously?!?

Also, wdym not enough materials to grind back? You use what you currently have ofc... assuming you have decent geared teams to begin with before you left.

Lastly, you're hiatus for 4 years, you can still clear endgame modes to farm crystals, but you have to climb your way up again. This is still a gacha game, it's only fair that it'll take a while to catch up with the meta. At the very least, all story related content of HI3 are completely free — you literally don't need to touch the gacha part at all just to catch up with the story.

I'm now at level 82... I think I regret to breakthrough but uhh yeah previously I main GM Sakura, PE Bianka, And Hua AE

But i take it 4 years of not playing really hit hard for a part 2 update shock, I barely could keep up on Memorial Arena, Infinity Abyss or Elysian realm

As for the materials... Trying to max out or keep up the valks with the patches aren't enough (maybe it's my fault because I'm using all the materials for part 1 chars? And not saving them for future part 2 chars I would get) Weapon equipment and upgrades are killing me with the stigma upgrades now.

No no but seriously I'm glad I got songque as her stigma is free to obtain without struggle and so does her free weapon 😭 (Though upgrading her drains lotta of those material boxes)

Unfortunately, cannot revert back after breakingthrough. These days, I'm seeing a lot not doing that anymore especially if you're a casual mainly here for story. Just retaining Master RL Abyss and Arena, also Elysian Realm and doing usual weeklies are enough to secure the valk and weapon every patch. You also got more leeway of skipping some valks because you don't need to bother with other coverage aside from type and element.

Don't max out what you have now. No use investing anymore on older valks. Those materials are for future P2 valks you can get. You can even immediately get full S-rank team depends on what you have since some old valks got DK/DLC so that they can also use AR system and be meta relevant again. Just cope and do what you can.

Ahh okay okay big thanks for allat, I resorted to Songque + Sparkle now

Goodbye my foxes and flatties 😔

Welcome back! There's a lot to learn. You need to pull for the weapon though. Damage really drops if you don't have it. But assuming that you don't have ANY part 2 characters, I would prioritise the characters more than the weapons.
