Let's be real, fellow Travelers—when we toss those Acquaint Fates at the eternal Wanderlust Invocation banner, we’re all secretly praying for that golden glow signaling a five-star jackpot. But hey, as someone who’s accidentally built an army of four-stars while chasing Diluc (still hiding, buddy?), I’ve learned these "consolation prizes" can absolutely carry your adventures across Teyvat. Forget disappointment—today, we’re spotlighting the SS-tier to A-tier legends hiding in plain sight!
🪁 10. Faruzan: The Anemo Whisperer
Element | Anemo
Weapon | Bow
Role | Support
Don’t sleep on this scholarly wind-sniper! While Faruzan won’t solo bosses, she’s basically Anemo’s hype-woman—shredding enemy resistance so your Xiao or Wanderer hits like a hurricane. People Also Ask: "Is Faruzan useless without Anemo DPS?" Honestly? Yeah, kinda. But pair her with one? Suddenly, Mondstadt’s tornadoes look like breezes.
⚡ 9. Beidou: Electro Queen of the High Seas
Element | Electro
Weapon | Claymore
Role | DPS/Sub-DPS
That moment when Beidou parries a Ruin Guard’s laser? Chef’s kiss. Her Burst—Tidecaller—unleashes off-field Electro chains that turn Hydro or Dendro teams into taser machines. Pro tip: Pair her with Nahida for hyperbloom chaos.
🌪️ 8. Sucrose: Adorable Alchemist, Deadly Swirls
Element | Anemo
Weapon | Catalyst
Role | Support
Think Venti Jr., but with glasses and bonus Elemental Mastery buffs. Toss her skill into Pyro slimes? Kaboom! People Also Ask: "Sucrose vs. Kazuha—who’s better?" Look, Kazuha’s flashy, but Sucrose is F2P gold.
🔥 7. Chevreuse: Pyro’s Underrated Strategist
Element | Pyro
Weapon | Polearm
Role | Support
Pyro + Electro team? Chevreuse is mandatory. She shreds enemy resistance like confetti AND heals. Imagine Bennett’s niche cousin who actually specializes in overload comps.
🦁 6. Gaming: Plunge Attack Maniac
Element | Pyro
Weapon | Claymore
Role | DPS
This lion-dancer isn’t just vibes—he’s a Pyro plunge machine! Timing his kicks with Xingqiu’s Rainswords? Vaporize nukes everywhere. Warning: He’ll need a healer. Dude hits himself harder than enemies sometimes. 😅
🐦⬛ 5. Fischl: Princess of Permanent Oz Uptime
Element | Electro
Weapon | Bow
Role | Sub-DPS
Oz isn’t a bird; he’s a lifestyle. With Golden Troupe artifacts? Fischl’s raven becomes an off-field Electro turret enabling Aggravate/Spread teams effortlessly. Constellations? They make her god-tier.
🐼 4. Xiangling: Pyronado GOAT
Element | Pyro
Weapon | Polearm
Role | Sub-DPS
Yes, she’s free from Spiral Abyss. No, that doesn’t make her basic. Guoba breathes fire, her Pyronado spins, and suddenly everything’s burning. Pair with Childe for international dominance.
⚡ 3. Iansan: Natlan’s Rising Star
Element | Electro
Weapon | Polearm
Role | Support
Natlan’s gift to F2P players! Iansan’s Attack buffs and cooldown resets make her SS-tier for quickswap teams. Slap on Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifacts? She’s basically Electro-fueled adrenaline.
🍀 2. Bennett: The Unluckiest S-Tier
Element | Pyro
Weapon | Sword
Role | Support
Bennett’s bad luck is OUR luck. His burst? ATK buff + healing. People Also Ask: "Why is Bennett broken?" Because Mihoyo accidentally made a four-star outshine five-stars. Period.
📖 1. Xingqiu: Hydro Archon in Disguise
Element | Hydro
Weapon | Sword
Role | Sub-DPS
Bookworm? More like Hydro-applicator-in-chief. Xingqiu’s Rainswords enable every reaction: Freeze, Vaporize, Bloom—you name it. C6 turns him into a damage-dealing fountain. Absolute must-pull.
💬 FAQs: Burning Questions Answered
- "Can I get limited characters on Wanderlust?"
Nope! Only standard five-stars (Diluc, Keqing, etc.) and permanent four-stars.
- "Is the standard banner worth pulling?"
Only use free Acquaint Fates. Primogems? Save for limited banners!
- "Who’s better: Xingqiu or Yelan?"
Yelan deals more damage, but Xingqiu’s interruption resistance and healing make him irreplaceable.
- "Why is Bennett C6 controversial?"
It infuses melee weapons with Pyro—great for some, disastrous for others (Eula mains, I weep for you).
- "Can Faruzan work without Anemo DPS?"
She can, but her resistance-shred is Anemo-specific. Use her elsewhere? Copium at best.
- "Best F2P weapon for Xiangling?"
Catch (Inazuma fishing) or Kitain Cross Spear (craftable). Both fix her Energy needs!
