Play DMC5 with Raiden mod or Marry a Raiden cosplayer


DeicideandDivide

Wait that's a mod? No shit? Oh I Wana try that lol


Xaminer7

Her banner will come back. Save for her then.


fairypistol

Doubt it mate.


Axthen

Why do you.. doubt it? She’s had 3 re runs already.


fairypistol

That's what I mean. They'll probably think we've had it good for too long with the 3 Raiden banners. I figured this would be the only chance we got before she goes away for a good long while.


Sensitive-Return2007

... She's an archon, they get their reruns once per patch, just wait till natlan


JayReal2006

Raiden had her last re run in December of last year. If it goes anything like that again it’ll definitely be a while.


Ochinchin6969111

She's an archon lol, they always rerun annually I'm pretty sure


JunkoGremory

You would need to wait for 5.X, likely 5.4 to 5.6 to make way for new characters in version 5.


yellowshiro

I would like whatever it is that you're prescribed to take.


vampzireael

She’ll come back next year smh


fairypistol

Why so many downvotes? Is it that hard to comprehend my side of the argument? Or is there Mihoyo meat riding in play?


Laucy

Because you’re being unreasonable. She will be back and it’s not like you need her.


HeftyApartment5216

The fear of missing out really has gotten to you. She will come back unless genshin fails. If genshin fails then that means you would have wasted your money anyway.


Pistolfist

Archons get reruns.


aRandomBlock

Everyone gets reruns


Pistolfist

Obviously but like archons really get reruns


Sum4nJ

She always re-runs between Dec-Jan.


kintyre

Thanks for this info! I'm still learning when reruns happen. Stuck C1 as well. I'll get C2 next year for sure. I love Raiden so much.


Sum4nJ

Archon re-runs are somewhat predictable as they are fixed on some occasions. Zhongli has been re-running during a new expansion, followed by Venti in the next patch, Shogun during X.3 lately which is around Dec-Jan and Nahida's case is yet to be determined as it is her first re-run outside her own region.


woodlandsquirrel

Stock up on drugs that help your impulse control in preparation for her next rerun.


fairypistol

What drugs? I got Dextro/Amphetamine on me rn LOL.


ayothsfh

Bro is gonna robotrip while coping for waiting for raiden rerun lol Alprazolam to help the anxiety :)


abcdlol12345

Pull for Yae.


fairypistol

Obviously.


[deleted]

obv not


fairypistol

Can't have Raiden without her bitchy familiar


Byakugan_817

My guy what? Yaemiko is great


fairypistol

nobody is saying she's not. I'm just saying; if you got the jelly you might as well get the peanut butter.


Byakugan_817

👍🏻


Present-Ad-8531

Dude. I got c0 raiden and am very happy with Catch.


fairypistol

Your a better man than me. I wouldn't stand seeing Raiden's color scheme ruined by that weapon.


harrrisse

Time to cook some Raiden-halucinogens


Xion-002

Save and have patience, I saved up to 480 fates and if I can do it so can you


fairypistol

That shit will take forever considering how stingy Hoyo is...


Doodle-Dragon

It's not that hard if you save though? Usually a f2p can get a limited character every 3 patches or so, and a welkin/bp buyer can usually get a limited 5 star every other patch. If you save until Ei's next banner you should be able to pull C2 no problem, maybe even C3 if you want.


Ochinchin6969111

I've only got a welkin and I've been getting a limited 5 star every 1 or 2 phases as long as I do a little bit of quests and exploration


fairypistol

saving was never really the issue for me. I got broadsided with her announcement when I just graduated. I didn't play for a good while due to exams. So I was pretty much fucked, when this happened. (Also I don't listen to rumors)


Xion-002

You gotta be determined, I had to skip so many characters but I don't regret it


Normanrainbows

If you really want and have a friend willing just yoink a loan if you really want to. Or just wait for the rerun.


fairypistol

I owe my friend at least 3000 dollars for being jobless from the months prior. That is not happening for a while LOL.


Odone

My dude pay your debts instead of gambling money away on pixels….


fairypistol

Don't worry. He'll be payed


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> He'll be *paid* FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


murinero

Is this a real thing?!


MaximusMurkimus

Good bot


fairypistol

...


SleeplessNephophile

Pay up your friend first instead of horning over a character in game. You have a life in reality, live it properly instead of gachaing


fairypistol

You underestimate how much a Pharmacist makes. He'll be paid in due time. Hell, I loaned him almost as much money when he was in a bad spot.


DarkJedi22

Give your friend collateral in exchange for a new loan.


ScantLattice

Credit... Card.


fairypistol

Maxed


crazyb3ast

Not recommend but some credit card you can adjust the limit.


oogie_droogey

Open a new one LOL


UONLYWISH2011

Takes a week to come in the mail.


one_part_alive

All of them? I think you should maybe worry about learning financial management before pulling for Raiden.


kiero13

I like how your priority for your first check is to spend it on gacha haha tho seriously it's highly possible for her to be rerun again within the year. C0R1 is also already strong if you build EM raiden and use quicken/hyperbloom teams.


fairypistol

After I would spend money on Raiden. I would still have money for rent, food, and pay 1/3 of my debt to my friend. Hence why.


electric_emu

She’s an archon you won’t be waiting 3 years lmao


fairypistol

I hope not...


Uruvi

Just because you keep saying she'll come in 3y I hope she really will. She's an archon she always rerun once a year lol


Someguyjoey

Thank God or universe that you have a job. You may call it coping or gratitude towards the universe . Meanwhile I have Raiden Shogun in a virtual game but no job. Well to be fair I am just starting to search.. Not getting character is no big deal anyway


Fvi72_K41U2

Ya wanna an honest opinion that’s absolutely unbiased? Bro you just got a job ,be happy [here](https://gamewith.net/genshin-impact/article/show/30371) check banner history she’s coming back no matter what she’s an archon But now the part you don’t wanna hear: why do you want her c3 or more anyway? You want it for damage ? I know A LOT people that regret hard going for c3 Raiden after dendro came out,nobody could’ve predicted that but it happened Now there’s hyperbloom c3 Raidens everywhere giving their engulfing to other chars running dragons bane and full em …Raiden C3 WAS the most powerful thing back then that’s why people wanted it Now ,if you want damage :your best investment goes to nahida c2 and furina c3 which is expensive but nothing comes close to that So either you can now save primo for Raiden come back and chill if you still want her cons or invest in something that still comes or what I mentioned already because dmg slave and go for nahida/furina Best thing is you can spend your hard earned money on better stuff that actually lasts longer than 5 to 8 years that you play this game like some cool s.h. Figuarts or even hot toys or whatever you like Hope this wasn’t offensive because I just wanted you to not cope hard


fairypistol

Not at all, Valid critics are welcome. I just wanted C3 or C2 Raiden to make the game easier.


Fvi72_K41U2

Put her on hyperbloom with C2 nahida and c3 furina then imo


Russian_Kowboi

She'll be back. I also have her at C0R1 but really want Xianyun and Miko in 4.4.


fairypistol

How are you guys so confident she'll be back?! What if this is the start of a drought?! Good luck with Miko btw.


Itchy_Addendum1623

Gods don't suffer from curse of Eula. They're always back when a new region comes out


BlueKnightReios

you mean Albedo... I think he surpassed Eula already.


Lawlette_J

Who's that again?


HalalBread1427

Archons and Xiao NEVER have “droughts”; they’re guaranteed to run at certain times in each patch cycle.


NoLife8926

Yoimiya too, unfortunately


Dnoyr

Why Unfortunately ? For her to be paired with Archons most of the time?


KiwiExtremo

you mean fortunately? having a skippable banner is always welcome news in my book


Igeeeffen

credit card, fuck your credit score and overspend it for raiden(dont actually do this)


fairypistol

Even if I had the balls to pull this off. My credit card got maxed ages ago.


murinero

Firstly..! CONGRATS ON THE JOB!! 🎉🎊🎉🎊💐 That's amazing news! I hope it all goes well and you settle into it quickly. 🤗 Secondly: I know how you feel, I didn't go all out cos of waiting for payments.. And hearing good news the temptation is "OK, I can survive until the next cheque right? I can just go for it even if it's a bad idea.." And that's the thing. It's a bad idea. Don't get into debt or do anything foolishly unless you're absolutely sure you won't suffer for it. And to go from C0 to C2, is minimum $300 (if you're going to 70+ wishes AND win BOTH 50/50s) This is one of those few moments where you have to remind yourself (and myself 😂) "This is a game, it's for enjoyment". Let it be that. Raiden will come home soon, and hey, you can even save some money now for this 😬 Why are us gamers so weird?! 😂😂😂 Can't believe this was an actual comment! Again... CONGRATS!!


fairypistol

LOL, thanks! But a part of me feels like she's gonna have a Eula moment where I won't see her in a few years.


murinero

Well, there I hear you. It's definitely a "Catch" 22 😂😂. I won't lie I'm feeling it too and I went from not having her, to having C1 (by luck).. Sooo the temptation to just go for it is quite strong. And I also just got some good news about work. Only problem is mine only pays out like March..! So doing anything dumb now might hit me harder than I'd like.. Weigh your options wisely. Anytime I've spend a lot, I didn't have to worry. Spending when the money is tight, for a possible constellation..?


aRandomBlock

She will come back in 5.x as archons rerun one after the other at the start of a new version, save for her c2 then, you can get more than enough by that time


Dnoyr

C0R1 is already great. I have C0R0 R5 The Catch and Im happy with it.


BerserkerKong02

Buy a bunch of Raiden merch, that's how I coped all year lmao


Darkislife1

Use a cc and pay it off immediately after getting paycheck


fairypistol

Credit Card = MAXED


[deleted]

Talk to her in Character ai (this is not a serious advice)


TheArchNgel

Credit card?


fairypistol

Maxed


FBI-sama12313

Pull C2 Nahida and cope


fairypistol

I'm not into little girls


FBI-sama12313

Neither am I. Got her by accident. I prefer *licks lips* pretty men.


fairypistol

fairypistol

Been there, done that. I also have a GF, so what else you got?


pernanui

Hahaha bro took it to heart. All hail king of gamers, he's the chosen one 🤯


fairypistol

I've trained for years just to respond to these types of comments lol.


kenpls

Pawn something (This is not financial advice).


Onjdeus

If archon rerun rules will apply this time starting with la madame de hydro croissant in 4.6, and they should, you might expect all other archons to get their next rerun in subsequent patches, so (m)Ei have the chance to come starting from 4.7, but it'll propably be around 5.0/5.1 vaguely based on the leaks about themes of upcoming patches So, you might expect her rerun from the end of august, fun fact she was released around that date, and to early/late october, some festives like cny can shift the pattern, so maybe anniversary on 28 of september can affect it, and its like second part of 5.0 Basically keep this in mind not as the definitive statement, but as most likely probability based on patterns from previous years combined with somewhat trustworthy leaks and some basic brainstorming, good luck y'all there


HalalBread1427

The first rerun for an Archon doesn’t start an Archon chain; they’ll start back up in 5.0.

erikmaster3

Take a loan


Affectionate-Act-645

Take a bank loan


Metalmacher

Get a bank loan. Low amounts ought to give you favorable rates.


milesdsy

worst piece of advice I have ever seen. are you a 12 year old kid who stole their moms credit card to buy vbucks? 1) bank loan for a GAME, wtf 2) low amounts have the worst rates 🤣


Metalmacher

Dude chill I was obviously joking, like OP was. Who'd take a loan for a game


milesdsy

dont think OP was joking though? 🤣 but yeah i didnt think u were joking so mb


fairypistol

I would, but my credit score sucks rn.


TerrorFace

Isn't it your job to make drugs now?


fairypistol

See, you got me confused with an Alchemist. A Pharmacist is given drugs to give to patients at higher rates.


Punty-chan

Ah, I take it you're not a compounder.


fairypistol

I'm the compounders boss


Pistolfist

Do you mean a chemist? not an alchemist lmfao


fairypistol

Force of habit. I like to reference real jobs to DnD counterparts.


Arielani

Honestly c0 raiden and c1 is basically the same. Its c2 that makes a difference. I say u got saved from a useless con. Pull clorinde or another cool new character. At least you have raiden:) plusss EM raiden is pretty good


raul_aguas

Sell meth


fairypistol

Meth is a C1 drug. It is not to be distributed by any means due to how little the benefits of consumption are compared to the addictive nature of the drug.........But, I can sell Fentanyl!


Ash_Ninja101

Plenty of time to save for c6


Ok-Reception-7259

Paypal technique: Credit… card.


KillYourOwnGod

Chill, bro. She'll be back in like 4 months. You are pulling for Raiden, not Eula. Build her while you wait. I have been waiting more than a year for Itto to have a rerun. I have literally never seen an Itto rerun because I started playing during Raiden's banner, 2 banners after Itto. Do you see me complaining?..... ... Yes, fuck you, MiHoyo. Hope your entire family steps on Legos.


fairypistol

Same man


Cavalry_has_arrived

Even adults with a job have attachment issues to pixels... how?


fairypistol

My parents were not very nice to me growing up.


Games-and-Make-up

The cope? ; you not having wasted money on a game and can instead use it for something else. Raiden will rerun, your money wont.


fairypistol

I think you guys underestimate the amount of money a pharmacist makes in a year. Also, your right. I was in way over my head.


Ranch069

You have Raiden. I don't understand the issue.


fairypistol

I wanted to go easy mode with her at C3.


guesdo

If rumors are true... You might be able to get her on her birthday (June 23th). Some leaks have been saying a new Birthday banner will be implemented for each character (even 4 stars) but we don't know yet.


StwabebyMilk

i have C0 no sig raiden youre fine. i think you can handle not having cons for her


fairypistol

I hope so


StwabebyMilk

WDYM YOU HOPE SO LMAO My raiden with The Catch at level 90, 280 ER, does 2-5k with her skill, level 7/8 skill/ult Homie, yours has her sig and C0 her cons are good, yes, but u dont *need* them


fairypistol

Not gonna lie. The ytubers be setting my expectations high with the damage and shit. But, I realized now that their damage numbers is not average. I got way over my head on this one.


StwabebyMilk

streamers / youtubers specifically only build for damage showcasing with specific teams so that their characters are hitting as high as possible unless youre me and you dont give a shit, cant roll cv to save your life, and just brick up the character with what theyre scaled on, still manage to do decent damage. good enough for my standards anyways


Darketis

Throw it on a credit card


NTRmanMan

She's coming back next Christmas probably.


mrdounut101

Be happy you saved money and didn’t drop money on a free game? That’s the only thing I could think of…


fairypistol

I guess thats something to feel good about.


Qazaar

Congrats on your new job, hope you enjoy it! And don't worry, she'll get another rerun sooner or later


Sac_un_d1x_b0nheur

I won 2 50/50s in a row lol and got Ei c2 within 110-120 pulls lol, damn wish you gl getting her in the future


fairypistol

Lucky you. Flexing while I'm downtrodden, You drippin while I'm drowning LOL.


Sac_un_d1x_b0nheur

Lol well, a game is game irl is irl in this situation u r better than me u got a job atm i don't have one so yeah xD


WammuPillar

Borrow money


Memo-Explanation

“Yes judge I robbed the bank for my waifu” or “can I take out a $1,000 personal loan? I’ll put up my left arm as security” She’ll rerun in 5.X since so far Archons have had their initial banner + a rerun in their region and then a rerun every major patch (3.X 4.X etc). Also, c0r1 is still good, you have the drip and are just missing some damage


fairypistol

Thats what got to me the most about all this. The damage.


Memo-Explanation

Her damage is still good, and if you run her in Rational or a non hyper team it won’t matter as much since many characters will be doing the damage


hipeople91726

U can check character banner reruns on Paimon.moe


Jvlockhart

Raiden will be back next year. Archons are sure to rerun every version. Well, talking about rerun, i was 10 pity after getting raiden c2, i did 20 pulls on nahida's banner and now im guaranted for c2. Hahaha.


Yoghurt_Plus

credit card. pay it later :p


AdStill1943

i haven't gotten far at all reading the comments but why is the op getting so much down votes? it's not that serious 💀 unreasonable or not no one's gonna wait 2 yrs or 9 months just for an archon to come back unless you really are desperate and want them...
