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.
