| Genshin 6.1 Banners for Phase 1
5 - star characters on rate - up:
Nefer & Furina
| Genshin 6.1 Nefer Pulling Suggestion
Strengths
Nefer is a Moon Bloom main DPS who is easy to use with high damage output and excellent enemy detection abilities. Her C0 mechanism is fully functional, and you don't need to invest extra resources into constellations to get a good experience with her.
Weaknesses
Nefer has weak interrupt resistance and can be interrupted by enemies during her damage phases. Her weapon options are limited, as her signature weapon maximizes her abilities only when equipped on her.
Summary
· Players with Lauma can pull for Nefer. Nefer’s Talent 1 requires full Constellation to be effective, which requires at least two Nordeckale characters in the team. Lauma is Nefer's best partner as she generates the Dendro Dew needed to support Nefer’s damage output.
· Players without Nod-Krai characters (teams lacking Lunar reaction characters) can still pull for Nefer. The new Spiral Abyss content is much harder without a Lunar reaction system team, so it's recommended to pull for a Lunar reaction character to tackle the Abyss.
· However, if your resources are limited and you don't have Lauma, it’s better to skip the pull. Without Lauma's support, Nefer’s damage will be significantly reduced, and she won’t be able to unleash the full potential of Lunar Bloom.

| Genshin 6.1 Furina Pulling Suggestion
Strengths
Furina’s Elemental Skill has two forms: Ousia and Pneuma. Arid summons "Sahlon members" for backline output, dealing significant damage without a vacuum period, and also consumes teammate HP to increase damage. Pneuma, on the other hand, summons "The Singer of Waters" to heal the frontline characters, which is very useful in exploration or when the team lacks a healer. Her Elemental Burst can accumulate Atmosphere through changes in the entire team's HP, offering up to a 75% damage increase and a 30% healing bonus for the whole team. The damage boost is significant and not limited to a specific element, making it adaptable to many team compositions.
Weaknesses
In the new Moon Bloom system, Moon Electro-Charged and Moon Bloom are independent damage multipliers, and Furina’s damage boost does not affect Moon reactions. This means that when paired with characters like Fischl or Yae Miko, her support functionality is weakened, and her role in the Moon Bloom system is limited to applying Hydro and dealing personal damage, without greatly enhancing the team’s overall damage.
Summary
· If you are a beginner, Furina is the only character who can switch between Ousia and Pneuma forms, offering a great exploration experience in the Fontaine region.
· If you don’t have Furina but have sufficient resources: While Lunar reactions are currently a major system, this does not mean Genshin Impact will stop introducing characters focused on direct damage in the future. Furina offers excellent Hydro application and sub-DPS capability, fitting into many team compositions.
· If your team has characters like Neuvillette or Skirk, pulling for C0 Furina can significantly boost your team strength, even without additional constellations.
· If your resources are limited, and you can only afford to pull for one character, it’s not recommended to pull for Furina.
· If your team lacks a Main DPS, pulling for Furina is not advisable. As a support character, Furina only becomes a major damage dealer at C6, and investing heavily into her could be inefficient. Future versions may introduce other Hydro characters like Columbia, so saving resources for them may be a better choice.

Arlecchino & Zhongli
| Genshin 6.1 Arlecchino Pulling Suggestion
Strengths
As a Pyro main DPS, Arlecchino’s Normal Attack is the main source of damage. Her six-hit combo produces seven damage instances, all of which benefit from the Red Death Feast bonus. When paired with Yelan, Xingqiu, or other Normal Attack buffers, her damage can be significant. Her combat mechanics allow seamless switching between characters without interrupting her buffs. As long as the Life Pact red bar is active, switching back to Arlecchino continues her Pyro damage output, and you can freely switch characters during combat, even recovering from mistakes in the output rotation.
Weaknesses
Mavuika is also a strong Pyro main DPS, with Superconduct and cryo effects boosting her damage output. Arlecchino’s damage does not have a clear advantage over the Mavuika, and the Abyss rarely uses a dual Pyro composition, so having both could limit opportunities for Arlecchino’s use. Under the Life Pact mechanic, you cannot heal the character’s HP until the red bar is removed. If you don’t have a shield support in your team, it becomes difficult to handle, as being hit by enemies will disrupt your rhythm, and when your HP is too low, Bennett’s Elemental Burst could even become a negative buff.
Summary
· Not recommended for pulling. You need to pull at least C1-C2 and her signature weapon to maximize her damage potential, making the investment cost too high.
· There are better Pyro main DPS alternatives. The Mavuika provides similar capabilities with better overall output.
· In the next version, a new Pyro character, Durin, will be added to the banner. It's better to pull for the new character instead of sticking to the old ones.
| Genshin 6.1 Zhongli Pulling Suggestion
Strengths
Zhongli's Elemental Skill generates a shield with a very high base strength and can 100% absorb all damage (including elemental damage and physical damage). As long as the shield is not broken, the character will not lose any HP. For new players, Zhongli is easy to use with a low learning curve, and you can explore Teyvat without needing complex operations.
Weaknesses
Zhongli's shield cannot protect against "Ignore Shield" damage, such as the Corrosion effect in the Abyss or the True Damage from monsters. In these cases, the shield won't provide protection.
Summary
· If you are a new player, and you're still learning the combat mechanics, pulling for C0 Zhongli will greatly improve your experience in the World, making it much easier to navigate and lowering the difficulty of operations.
· If you’re not a beginner and your character pool already has enough support, you can skip pulling for Zhongli. It’s not recommended to invest in his Constellations as it could be a waste of resources.
· If your team has Xinoni, it’s not recommended to pull for Zhongli.
| Conclusion
In the Genshin Impact 6.1 update, the introduction of characters like Nefer and Furina brings exciting new possibilities to team compositions. Each character has unique strengths but also comes with certain limitations that should be considered before pulling. For players looking to enhance their teams, Nefer excels with her Moon Bloom potential, while Furina offers versatile utility as both a support and sub-DPS. However, if resources are limited, careful consideration is required as both characters may need specific team synergies to truly shine.
