Genshin Impact, the role-playing titan from miHoYo, is a game that often surprises players in unexpected ways. A recent post by player ‘MemberBerry4’, showcases a unique scenario where mishaps in the wishing system led to an unexpected yet rewarding result.
Summary
- MemberBerry4 accidentally obtained characters Ayato and Cyno while trying to farm for stardust.
- Despite the initial disappointment, Cyno has turned out to be their most enjoyable character yet.
- Changed their viewpoint from chasing meta to prioritizing character-likability.
Chasing Stardust, Finding Main Characters
Every Genshin Impact player knows the thrill of wishing and seeing that gold glow. For our friend, MemberBerry4, what had begun as an endeavor to stock up on Stardust ended up in pulling out Ayato and Cyno. An early win at around 25 pity, but with disappointment as they had wasted a precious guarantee on Ayato and not their intended character.
The Unexpected Delight of Cyno
To add to the rollercoaster, a disgruntled ‘oh why not’ pull on Cyno’s banner gave them Cyno at a meager 6 pity. What seemed like a series of botched gambles, led to an epiphany of how much they enjoyed playing as Cyno. His unique Anubis eye mechanic, Japanese voicework, and visual animations won over our ‘victim of circumstances’ so much so that Cyno ended up being their new main.
A Change of Heart
This chain of events ignited a change in MemberBerry4’s playstyle. Shifting away from chasing the meta characters to playing with characters they actually enjoy. It’s a sentiment shared by many in the Genshin community, and echoed by turbiegaming who quipped that ‘sometimes fun can be found in different ways, even if you don’t 100% meant to do it.
This odd journey showed Genshin Impact players a different route to fulfillment in the game. It serves as a reminder to thrive in the unpredictability of the game and that it’s not always the meta that matters, but how much fun you have along the way. As Genshin players, we can find hilarity and heartwarming satisfaction from ‘mistakes’ – although we can’t all rely on low pity pulls to get there! As RichSeat chimed in ‘I am happy that it worked out for you, even if you, like you said, screwed yourself over.’
