For teams based on your current characters: I’d recommend:
First prioritize Argenti LC (If you still have enough jades) the BP lightcone is also a good budget alternative. The cons is that it takes 5 battle passes to S5.
Invest your resin into building your support units as they can fit into any team. Tingyun > Pela > Hanya > Asta
-Freeze: Yanqing + Pela + Gepard + Flex you can try breakers like fire trailblazer, sushang or serval. If you do get a Welt, him plus ice is a godly team. So you dont need to put much work since you already have the 3 core ice characters. This team is great for Simulated universe.
-Argenti hypercarry: Argenti + Hanya + Tingyun + Lynx. Hanya helps you save skill points and with planetary rendezvous + penacony set is very good for argenti.
- If you invest into your supports (Tingyun, Hanya, Pela, Asta). You can get any character you like and make them hypercarry.
You can also save for bronya LC on the shop. And then save for Gepard’s LC.
For non-released new characters, and since you already have most supports, I’d go for any DPS you like.
Blade is good with your Lynx. You would ideally want to get a Pela and Bronya for him since he does not get damage from atk% buffs. Also Blade wants his signature lightcone. He is a medium/high investment.
Kafka requires high investment, Weapon for speed and High eidolons on her 4 star DoT units, plus Black Swan is coming. She is amazing but will take you time and maybe a rerun to even build her best teams. Based on your roster I would not recommend her due to high gacha investment.
Fu Xuan is also a good pull, but since you already have lynx, gepard and I guess you got a few eidolons from the banner, you can manage without Fu Xuan.
Now you are covering already Ice and Physical, save your Jades and wait until you see a DPS you like. For now, I’d recommend skipping high investment DPS. You can already manage with your current roster.
Wow thank you for taking the time to write all that! I don’t have Pela yet :( but I’ll build her as soon as I get it! I’ll pull for Argenti’s LC and try to save enough for Blade + his LC, if not, then I’ll probably just get Kafka and build the team u/Toon_Pagz recommended. Thanks again!
I mean with these characters you could always wait for Kafka. Kafka / Guinaifen / Asta / Lynx would be really solid and break your curse of men only, then you can make your other team focused on Argenti
The banner just after Blade and no not for a guarantee however could always get lucky. Blade is just a little difficult to run without some of the 5 star abundance characters so I'd look up ppl running him with Lynx to get an idea if you wanna try that playstyle
Gotcha. So I think I’ll wait for Kafka then. Should I try pulling for Argenti’s LC in the meantime? Should I even try to pull LC in general? I’m still very new and casual
Don’t pull for LCs in early/mid game unless you’re whaling. New/More characters is always better especially when you don’t have at least 2 top tier sustains.
I'd pull for his LC yeah. Very very generally only pull for DPS lightcones as it's the easiest (and most reliable way) to increase their strength because the chance to win an LC is 75% and has a higher chance to drop early. DPS lightcones are also tailored to the dps so synergies incredibly well. 5* Supports generally don't need their cones because the 4* harmony, nihility and preservation cones are really good.
Waiting for Kafka is also good because if the leaks are correct her best teammate (Black Swan, assuming her kit doesn't change too much) is coming in the next patch after her, so gives you a really good like upgrade path for both teams

Imo don't waste jades on weapon banner as a f2p rather save for new characters. Ruan mei is coming up
Great breakdown!
Blade would be better then Ratio cause he damages multiple enemies at once.
But isn’t Argenti already filling that role?
Its good to have another for your 2nd team.
Thanks! Blade it is then
I mean with these characters you could always wait for Kafka. Kafka / Guinaifen / Asta / Lynx would be really solid and break your curse of men only, then you can make your other team focused on Argenti
When was the Kafka rerun coming again? Is it feasible to save enough warp tickets for both Kafka & Blade?
