13:23 - Leveling up multiple options for the same set also helps in optimizing builds. Due to upgrade RNG, even if you have good starting stats a lot of times pieces will roll "too much" into ER, crit rate, crit damage, etc. If you have a variety to choose from, you can match up different skewed pieces to still achieve balance towards your target build. In this way, a greater percentage of your inventory becomes viable vs. artifacts gathering dust because they rolled weird.
I want to say those five all require a lot of screen time, but ge must have Xiao, Itto, etc... makes me think of personality similarities in that they are all distant, but Tighnari isn't that bad. Thoughts?
it could be the screen time. xiao was out before kokomi, and itto is still at talent lvl 7 so he doesn't actually uses him. But maybe it's something else, like ... they're male xD
God I wish I had a C6 Kokomi! I'm slowly getting constellations for her slowly every rerun she has. One day I'll be living the C6 kokomi dream. Glad to know I'm not the only person who loves Kokomi and has her triple crowned!
Me too! I want to C6 all the characters I love, but I would have no money by the end, and I’d like to go for some constellations like C2 Nahida (and maybe Nilou), but my best girl is triple crowned and I got her weapon the other day :D I wish you a very C6 Kokomi pulling session 🥰
I started playing about six months ago or so I'm currently AR 45 and still unsure what characters I want, your channel has been very helpful, thank you for showing your account and all your tier lists
I've played League of Legends since Dec 2013 and across 3 accounts have spent about $2500 as well. In 2 years, $2500 definitely seems like a lot, but given that you're a full time content creator, I think it could definitely be way higher and I don't think you're a whale at $2500.
I started at the beginning of patch 1.1, and I've got maybe 2 or 3 pieces that exceed 30 cv, I have amazing luck for wishing but horrendous luck for artifacts
I think it's kinda wild how different our definitions of whaling are, because to me spending an average of 70$ every month is whaling Call me poor but it feels kind of out of touch to claim you're not a whale yk
14:06 i just wanted to menting here that after months and years of farming artifacts I don't have any electro golet, all I ever got didnt have single crit stat, my Raiden have atk goblet, Keqing and Yae em, sigh thats how rng works :')
with reverse melt rosaria who do you recommend besides diona? i have kaeya, chungyun and Layla. I mean i could use diona but im not into bow characters
That’s all you’ve spent 😂 😝 😂 You can’t be serious, that’s nothing for someone making content That number is irrelevant to most CCs lol. But that’s good you haven’t gone mad like most.
Some people pay for the Gym, some people pay for Netflix, and some people pay for Genshin, lol. Money is wasted all the time. If you achieve your goals, cover your costs, then having fun is fine.
Honestly I love the dedication to Kokomi! I’ve triple crowned her and just got her weapon the other day, I wish I could have infinite money so I could C6 her as well, but I’ve already C6ed 2 characters who are my absolute favourites (Hu Tao and Kazuha) and I want to save up for some character cons like Nahida C2 and maybe Nilou C2 as well. But I love that you’ve given best girl Koko so much love
As good as her weapon is last time the heater made a run I ended up having to go on the weapon banner and I got a second thousand dreams Michael Comey has lately been using that instead of her signature weapon because I like using her on dendro teams

This has nothing to do with this video but I want to comment on this one since it's the newest, and I want to do my part in the algorithm mines. I just started playing again after putting in a measly 15 hours about a year ago, at the same time I started Elden Ring, which was STUPID, because Genshin just kinda fell by the wayside. Getting back into it and watching your content has been a BLAST. Even if I don't understand half the things you're talking about yet, your enthusiasm for this game is INFECTIOUS, and also frequently hilarious. Just wanted to say thanks a bunch for the multiple incredibly helpful explainer videos I've rewatched multiple times, without which I'd definitely be floundering a bit. Honestly I probably would not have gotten into this game at all without discovering your channel way back when I first started, so thank you for that too. Excited to see your channel grow, and to be able to actually get what you're talking about in a much bigger way before too long. Cheers dude!
I just hit AR 60 yesterday (started in november 2021) so this was a fun comparison. Did you make this video in close proximity to hitting 60? Really jealous of your starglitter stash. For me that was never an option since I had to get 4* cons for almost all of it until yesterday when I finally bought c6 Noelle (waiting for Husk strongbox to build her!). I'm a welkin player who bought a few battle passes as well, and I think every crown I used is a "meta crown" except maybe Yelan's E. If I get her c6 one day I will probably triple crown.
People underestimate how far an account can grow to get if you just stay consistent logging in every day and spend $5-15 dollars a month on welkin/battle pass. I have "whaled" only twice and it was on the weapon banner where I had to go to 3rd epitomize path both times. Thankfully learned my lesson that weapon banner is a scam. That being said, getting 2x staff of homa and 2x elegy of the end pretty much made my account set forever. I would definitely recommend against swiping because ultimately it isn't necessary but if you absolutely must just be smart about it and you can easily crush the game with minimal spending like welkin+battlepass. Imo spending $15 a month on welkin+battle pass is the minimum with topping up your primos just once per year for the $100 isn't terrible value. If you consider that you play the game 365 days a year the math breaks down to just .77 cents per day if you only spend what I said above.
26:11 I have my team I played for most of the game in my team comps page as well!! Mine was anemo Traveler, Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Albedo. Now Traveler is currently dendro but sometimes I switch him back. I find this team really reliable because I know the timing well on it, even if it isn’t that good of a comp (I was very casual for a very long time, with no built pyro or electro characters before dendro was released, but it’s fine. I definitely don’t cry myself to sleep knowing I wasted so much resin). I use my team during archon quests or just whenever I feel like it. It’s really comfy.
i started when Dragonspine dropped so 1.2 and I have done a 1 time top up everyday since it's only 50 primos and i have 27 lvl 90s, 19 lvl 80, 54 lvl 90 weapons. EVERY char has their own artifact set and i have backups of backups example emblem/gilded Raiden for what i want to do. Each set is 1:2 ratio with high ER double/triple main stat for what they need. Every chars talents are 8 or higher on the skils they use. I've used 25 crowns. I have 11 left for Fontaine chars/more min/maxing i plan on doing. I've 36 all the way down for years. 100% the whole map including Fontaine and im only a bp/welkin player. I've been incredibly bless with luck. i have c2 Raiden, and c1 Hutao. I have most almost every char in the game. Missing a small handful. I just log in and do 6 condense resin in artifacts each day and log out unless there is an event. I've very proud of my account and while i do play every day like i said i just log in and do dailies/event and log out unless new map is out which takes like 2-3 days to complete.
I have my national team level 8 normal atk. Hahaha. I just love them. 8-9-10 benny, xiangling, xinqiu, fischl, beidou, also level 90. Hahahaha. I just love them. And almost all my 5 star has 2 crown and 8. 10-8-10 ganyu for example. 8-10-10 ayato and zhongli. If I use the character, it has crown for sure. Hahaha. So i dont really care if I use normal attack or not. Im leveling it. Hahahaha. Most would hate me but I dont like Yelan so her talent is 1-9-10. Hahahaa. 72-200 cv r2 favbow. And I dont use her. 😂😂😂
What? You don't have Alhaitham on your whale account??? I've started playing Genshin start of this year, but spent bit of $$$ and been playing for hours each day. I'm AR57, got 818 achievements, and did 12-3 Abyss ~2 patches ago. I also have 44 chars(inc 13x 5 stars) and Alhaitham is my fav char cos he's very versatile, fits well in any team combo(also doesn't require that much investment) plus great aoe damage n decent single target dps.
2,5 k is not that much indeed.... and you play constantly so i would assume the same amount in playtimes at least is that as well. so you have fun you can affort it, i like it ^^ what i like you can play genshin free to play, just dont expect all 5* but you will get around every second one
Respect for the C6, triple crowned kokomi man. Absolutely BASED!

Waiting cuz I’m trying to find out as well since I really want to pull for both wanderer and ayato 😭

all 5 are dudes
Maybe sassiness?

Same bro
I started playing about six months ago or so I'm currently AR 45 and still unsure what characters I want, your channel has been very helpful, thank you for showing your account and all your tier lists
I can completely confirm I also have a C6 R5 triple crowned Kokomi, she was the first but not the last Nahida also got the same treatment
you forgot to mention that you got c6 r5 credit card
bunny girl senpai seems to be a very promising character 😳 but for real, it was awesome to get an in-depth look into your account! 🤩
I started in 2.3 and have only one 50+cv artifact. I got it really early on too, so i didn't realize how rare they can be
Serpent spine is such a cool looking weapon 🐍
I hope we see beacon on a banner again eventually, cause mine is R3 and I want R5.
Your Kokomi is amazing 🐟💙
Cant believe eakes got away with showing us his KOK on yt. Would’ve thought that was against TOS 🥵🥴🤤
Dolphin kokomi main ? Sounds exactly like me if we ignore the c6 koko 😂 great video ❤
best genshin content creator by far!
I've played League of Legends since Dec 2013 and across 3 accounts have spent about $2500 as well. In 2 years, $2500 definitely seems like a lot, but given that you're a full time content creator, I think it could definitely be way higher and I don't think you're a whale at $2500.
For a content creator it's more of a business expense. For example, wasting money makes content that can get more money.
I started at the beginning of patch 1.1, and I've got maybe 2 or 3 pieces that exceed 30 cv, I have amazing luck for wishing but horrendous luck for artifacts
I sure hope eakes has gotten that 45+cv artifact. I’m AR 46 and just got a 45cv piece.
9/10. Not enough Xiangling
I had a crowned Xiangling burst before you stfu
We all saw that 27% defense emblem goblet
I think it's kinda wild how different our definitions of whaling are, because to me spending an average of 70$ every month is whaling
Call me poor but it feels kind of out of touch to claim you're not a whale yk
I cant wait till my account looks liek this amazing content Eakes keep it up i got a huge bacjk log to catch up on.
I respect your decisions on who you like and play
I’ve been trying to figure out the name of the song at the beginning of the video for WEEKS!! Someone help plz😭 I love it so much
A sweet smile from Genshin impact :)
@@EakesTV THANK YOU SO MUCH🥺🥺
Wth you dont have r5 codex? I just started Genshin 3-4 months ago and i have r7 lvl 1 codex 😑
Lol Ik it’s kinda wild, hopefully I will soon tho!
14:06 i just wanted to menting here that after months and years of farming artifacts I don't have any electro golet, all I ever got didnt have single crit stat, my Raiden have atk goblet, Keqing and Yae em, sigh thats how rng works :')
Xiao with the one star weapon 😭
2.5k isnt a lot for someone who has almost every character, a c6 and lives off of playing the game
Kokomi in thumbnail, click into video
My best decision was spending 50$ on kazuha
I love kokomi, I’m not that crazy for give her a c6 bcuz I’m a f2p, but I will get her the best artifacts
Love me some Eakes
I want to main Kokomi and in my team I have Ayaka kazuha and cyno. Should I build her as on field or off field? Please answer!
Crown on xinqiu's burst but not yelan, why?
with reverse melt rosaria who do you recommend besides diona? i have kaeya, chungyun and Layla. I mean i could use diona but im not into bow characters
I am a sinner qwq

That’s all you’ve spent 😂 😝 😂 You can’t be serious, that’s nothing for someone making content
That number is irrelevant to most CCs lol. But that’s good you haven’t gone mad like most.
Well the big Genshin CC’s make probably 20x what I make no exaggeration lmao, so we’ll get there one day hopefully XD
They're guys
First.
Can you make my account better 😢😢😢 😞
20:29 he is bs'ing himself xD tf you mean 2500 $ isnt whale
Bet you can't
When you use all the 5 characters he mentioned on a daily basis... 🥲
Eakes: "i was unlucky enough to get 2 lost prayers"
me a day 1 player who only got 3 5-star weapons in total and 2 of them are lost prayer:🥲
Some people pay for the Gym, some people pay for Netflix, and some people pay for Genshin, lol. Money is wasted all the time. If you achieve your goals, cover your costs, then having fun is fine.
Day 3? Utterly unacceptable.
I am truly ashamed 😔

I'm a whale but just like you it feels weird to call myself a whale since I dont have every character c6 r5.
Same. I’m a whale but I have no constellations I’ve just lost 15 50/50s
@@tanjiro1967 I feel that I lose most of mine.
Just shows how expensive genshin really is
Me crying with my triple crowned, c6 Wanderer with 63% crit rate and 269% crit damage that I totally didn’t keep at “69” on purpose.
2500 isn't a whale, over 3 years that's like $70 a month. That's just buying a new video game a month
Fellow Week 1 player. My highest CV Artifact is 49.8, and it hurts so much to be *that* close to 50 but still no cigar.
Kokomi supremecy! Having her c6 triple crowned is the most valid thing
All kokomi mains running the same teams istg 😊
for an extremely light spender, i cannot save my starglitter lol i use it to get more characters i like
That's hardly any money spent! I have spent that much just this year, you have had really good luck.

Question: How long did it take for you guys to reach AR 50? Where, Archon quest-wise, were you guys at?
Me watching this and being like wow wtf he got sooo much stuff even though I only started in 3.1, maybe I'll get everything I want soon
