They really overcomplicated the Capturing Radiance. Basically, if you lose a 50/50, you have a 10% chance that the game will feel sorry for you and give you a featured character instead. It will count as a 50/50 win, so the next 50/50 isn't going to be a guarantee. Essentially, it's a small 10% failsafe that increases the probability of getting a featured 5 star from 50/50 to 55/45.
@@TheGenshinIdiot Brother, that's legitimately all to it, it's not that deep - you aren't going to figure anything out in-game, as the probability to encounter this mechanic on any given five star pull is just 5% - you can play until EoS and never even see this animation, so you might as well just read the official explanation that says the same thing if you think that all the comments are shitting you.
@@vladdyru Ok nevermind I didnt know they actually made an official post about it, I was talking about seeing it in game where they explain how the guaranteed affects the probability of pulling 4-stars and 5-stars.
The way I understand Capturing Radiance is that if you roll on a 50/50 and lose, the game will reroll with a bumped up win stat. If you win the reroll, you get the animation and the character. If you lose the reroll or if you won the initial roll, you won't even know until the splash art pops up.
IT'S SO FUNNY HOW I WAS JUST THINKING "DAMN! It would be so cool if I could get C2 Dehya to get better synergy with the new Natlan characters" AND HOYO WAS LIKE, DON'T WORRY, WE GIT YOU GURL 😭
On the elixers: I was wrong about what I said initially. Edit Corrections for my initial comment: it's 4 cost for goblets, 2 for sands, and 1 for plume, according to the live stream. Will still have to wait and see more for the other pieces. I know some people would rather make circlets too. It also looks like you can only make 1 per cycle (not sure what a cycle will be, could be a banner phase, would be a Battle Pass cycle, or other) and can also only do 1 artifact piece per set per cycle. So if you get Raiden a nice electro goblet for Emblem, you cannot then get Yelan a Hydro Goblet for emblem until the next cycle. Edit: Forgot to add, it looks like you can create 1 per cycle while still getting them from other sources like Battle Pass, in game mail rewards (anniversary rewards) and Natlan exploration (no idea how many we get from exploring though). More will be confirmed after 5.0 but that's how I understand it currently, based on the footage. Loving the updated features... that said... WHY THE EF ARE WE GETTING BENNETT AGAIN?!?!?!?! (they showed us he and Xinyan will be on Mualani/Kazuha's banner). Wasn't he JUST on a banner 1 or two updates ago?! For crying out loud! Ok rant over.
@@TheGenshinIdiot Ok, I had to do a double take. So it looks like, it is 4 for the goblet, regardless of main stat and subs (I'll edit my comment). Edit: Fixed the comment, good eye. They were switching from Sands, which showed 2, and prior to the sands, a Plume, which cost 1. So it looks like, the rarer artifacts (i.e. goblets having the most main stats possible), the more the cost. That's a huge bummer imo... Nice mechanic but, that's gonna be costly for some I'd imagine. Basically, this makes it so you get a single chance per "cycle" to get the right stats on something, but then you have to deal with Rolling it, losing the elixers (thus the artifacts you sacrificed to make them), and having a chance of it rolling bad :( I hope there will be a lot more ways to get them in the future because right now, I feel like it's not a lot.
@@Kemuell_Mabuen well It depends how many you get from exploring, they did show that you can just find them so hopefully we get to make at least one set per patch then more as time goes on
Almost 4 years and no Jean…the time has come 😅 I’m just going to ignore the thing about the 50/50 for pulls…will think of it as I always have. Weapon banner change is nice though…

Read it somewhere, it said the character chances changed from 50-50 to 55-45...while weapon banner is basically like character banner now..
@@ukyo72 yes but it’s not even out so nobody actually knows how this is going to work
Fate points are still fate points on the weapon banner, it will expire when the banner goes away. So you'd better save up before pulling the trigger.

50:50 is now 55:45
Basically if you lose the 50:50, there is a 10% chance to just win anyway. SO 10% of 50% is 5%. 50+5=55%
