Finally, I'm out of reroll hell. I didn't get any of the characters I wanted, but I promised that I'd stop with my first 5*. This was my 11th reroll account, so we're looking at about 352 (32 per reroll x 11) total rolls for a 5* character (yikes). I probably fucked up the math, but if I was spending money that means somewhere around 850 dollars just to get the 5*, minus any pity mechanics.
Got the little Jiangshi girl, wasn't crazy about it, but she's actually a ton of fun to play. She can freezelock anything that isn't fire for like 30 seconds and I haven't unlocked any upgrades for her yet. This was a pretty lucky rolling account overall, as I got a 5* and 3 4* characters outside of the guaranteed Noelle. I really like Barbara so I'm glad she showed up on this reroll. Her heals and charge move are great. I got 6 out of (i think?) 7 elements represented too. Welp, time to hoard currency until a featured rate up or until I have enough for guaranteed pity of a character I want.
Does anyone know what the pity system looks like for this game, btw?
