Man, pulling decisions in Genshin Impact 5.4 are brutal right now! 😩 As a F2P player staring at my meager Primogem stash, I'm sweating over whether to go for Yumemizuki Mizuki or Sigewinne in Phase 1 banners. Both 5-stars look awesome but Hoyoverse really said 'choose one' with that February 12-March 4 window. And let's be real - most of us don't have enough wishes to guarantee both before they vanish. The Mikawa Flower Festival event bringing us back to Inazuma makes Mizuki super tempting though... but is she actually worth those precious Intertwined Fates? 🤔
🌪️ Mizuki Breakdown (Anemo Catalyst)
That Dreamdrifter state tho! When she floats around with speed boost leaving Anemo damage trails? Chef's kiss 👌. Her Elemental Burst summons Mini Baku dropping snacks that either explode for AoE damage (if your active character >70% HP) or heal based on her EM stat. Crazy versatile!
But here's the catch:
-
EM build feels mandatory (aim for 1k+)
-
Healing output caps around 3k per snack 😬
-
Swirl buff DISAPPEARS when she leaves field
-
Joining standard banner after 5.5 💀
Honestly? She's more support than healer. If you're pulling for meta... maybe skip? But dat Inazuma festival vibe...
💧 Sigewinne Situation (Hydro Archer)
Okay real talk - she heals WAY better than Mizuki. That charged Elemental Skill scales healing tiers while creating Sourcewater Droplets for energy regen. Passive gives team skill damage buff too!
Red flags waving 🚩:
-
Vulnerable during skill charging
-
Long animations = time waste
-
Burst feels useless without signature weapon/C6
-
Hydro application? Mid at best
Comparing them side-by-side:
| Category | Mizuki | Sigewinne |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Swirl Support | Dedicated Healer |
| Scaling | EM | HP/Healing Bonus |
| F2P Friendly | ✅ | ❌ (needs cons) |
| Banner Value | Low (going standard) | Medium |
💎 The Verdict?
Saving for Phase 2 Furina/Wriothesley might be smarter 🤷. But if you MUST pull now? Sigewinne edges out for pure healing utility. Mizuki's cool but that standard banner demotion hurts her premium value. Personally? I'm skipping both. That Fontaine archon rerun looking juicy...
❓FAQ Time
Q: When do banners end?
A: March 4! After that Phase 2 begins.
Q: Will Mizuki be pullable later?
A: Yep! She joins standard banner in 5.5.
Q: Who has better healing?
A: Sigewinne 100%. Mizuki's more about Swirl buffs.
Q: Should I pull weapons banner?
A: Only if you're a whale 🐋. F2P? Avoid!
Q: Are they must-pulls?
A: Nah. Solid but not game-changing. Save for broken units like Xilonen reruns!
Final thoughts? This patch's true gems might be the combat tower event and flower festival 🏯🌸. Character-wise... meh. But hey, pull for who you love! Waifu > meta always 😉
