So when I was a beginner I thought Genshin was like other gacha games where 4 stars are unusable and you should just save all up resources till you get a 5 star. So I didn’t upgrade any weapons and barely leveled my characters and didn’t level any talents and I even gave up on the game the first time I tried it because I was so weak and couldn’t kill anything so I felt like the game was way too difficult. And even after coming back to the game I tried to use the minimum resources and became AR45 playing the more than half the game as stealth and running away since my highest leveled artifact was like a +4 purple tier one and had no talents leveled and stuff.
