| Durin
Durin Character Introduction
Durin is a Pyro Sword character who can serve as both a Support and a Main DPS. His role is mainly switched through his Elemental Skill.
The White State form provides: Elemental Skill + continuous AoE Pyro DMG from the Skill + Resistance Reduction.
The Black State form provides: Elemental Skill + continuous single-target Pyro DMG from Normal Attacks + Self-Buffs.
Therefore, the White State form is more suited for a support role.
The newly added "Arcane Amplification" requires two Hexenzirkel members to activate. When activated, Durin's Elemental Burst damage will be enhanced in both of his forms.
Durin Pulling Advice
Therefore to briefly summarize, Durin's pulling recommendation should be referenced alongside that of Escoffier or Lauma.
If you already have several strong teams and don't require constellations for Columbina, you can pull for Durin to prepare for the future. After all, a support who can reduce resistance is generally not weak, and he is also part of the "Arcane Amplification" system. It is highly likely that future characters like Alice and Nicole will also require Durin.
However, if you don't have many Primogems and are also planning to pull for Columbina constellations or her signature weapon, then you can consider skipping him. Durin's strength lies in his future potential. Since his optimal Artifacts and best teammates are currently unknown, pulling for Columbina is definitely a more cost-effective choice.
I Venti
Venti Character Introduction
As for Venti, our old friend, his primary functions are Elemental Burst crowd control and Viridescent Venerer resistance reduction. He will also be receiving a buff from the "Arcane Amplification" system in the next version.
Venti's strengthening mainly involves the following: when an on-field character triggers a Swirl reaction during the Burst's duration, it will increase the damage of both that character and Venti's Burst.
Furthermore, Venti's Normal Attacks will be infused after casting his Burst, and unleashing an infused Hurricane Arrow can extend the Burst's duration. Most importantly, the positioning where his Burst is generated will also be more accurate than before.
Venti Pulling Advice
Overall, the strengthened Venti can generally reach the level of a Fontaine-era character. The meta players can safely skip him.
If you are a devoted fan or a collector, you may consider pulling for a C0 copy. Unless there are subsequent changes to his constellations, investing in his constellations is not highly recommended.
| Varesa
Varesa Character Introduction
Varesa is a 5-star Electro Catalyst character whose main role is an Plunging Attack Main DPS. She enters the "Night Soul Blessing" state by holding her Elemental Skill, allowing her to dash and accumulate "Night Soul Points" to unleash powerful Plunging Attacks.
Her combat rotation is typically an E-A-A-E-A-A-Q cycle. As a Natlan character, she possesses the ability to increase resistance to interruption at C0, making her Plunging Attacks more stable.
Varesa Pulling Advice
Varesa, the "Commoner's God of War" from Natlan, is finally receiving her first rerun. This is a rare opportunity for players who lack a Main DPS, but her current situation and future prospects are quite complex. It is estimated that many players are saving their Primogems for Columbina, or even for Alice or Nicole. Therefore, the pulling advice for Varesa is divided into the following three categories:
First,those preparing to pull for Columbina can directly skip Valesha. After all, by subsequently obtaining Flins and Ineffa, or Lauma and Nefer, you can form the complete "Moon-Charged Battleship" team. It is predicted that the team's strength will at least reach the level of Skirk's team, and will certainly result in higher damage than pulling for Varesa. Additionally, you will benefit from the current version's environment.
Second, players with limited Primogems who are struggling in the Spiral Abyss or the Open World can safely pull for her and assemble a low-investment Varesa team. This is because Varesa's low-investment teams, such as Varesa-Chevreuse-xiangling-Iansan/Varesa-Chevreuse-xiangling-Benneett, have damage output second only to the Mavuika and Skirk. Furthermore, her teammates are only 4-star characters. Although there are constellation requirements for her teammates, Varesa's low-investment team is definitely ranked first in terms of strength. It is unlikely that such a favorable situation will appear again in the future.
Team 1

Team 2

Third, dedicated fans can pull directly.
Regarding her Constellations, aside from dedicated fans, investing in them is not recommended. Although Varesa's various constellations provide boosts, the increase is small and the cost-effectiveness is not high enough. It is better to save your Primogems for other characters.
| Xilonen
Xilonen Character Introduction
As the currently strongest universal support, Xilonen can single-handedly provide damage buffs, resistance reduction, and healing. Xilonen achieves this simply by casting her Elemental Skill. Although she may not have much room for growth in Nod-Krai, as long as Elemental Damage is involved, Resistance Reduction will always be needed,her strength is absolutely guaranteed both now and in the future, similar to Version 1.6's Kazuha.
Furthermore, Xilonen is the core support for the current strongest team composition (Mavuika, Xilonen, Citlali, Bennett), so it is highly recommended that all players who are able to should acquire a copy of her.

Xilonen Pulling Advice
Regarding her Constellations, C0 is already her complete form. C2 can significantly increase her support capability. If you have a sufficient budget, or if you only plan to pull for a C0 copy of Columbina for collection purposes, then pulling for Xilonen's C2 is completely feasible. Otherwise, C0 is sufficient, and there is no need to worry much about further investment.
| Conclusion
In summary, if you don't have Primogem resource pressure, we recommend pulling for Durin, Varesa, and Xilonen, but we don't recommend pulling for Venti.
If you prioritize future characters, you must pull for Durin. If you prioritize the present, then you can pull for Varesa or Xilonen based on your different needs.
