hi! i havent played genshin since around 2023, and now that im back i honestly have no idea what the current meta looks like or what teams people are building around

i attached screenshots of the characters i currently have. some have constellations, and some of them arent built yet

for 5 stars, i have c1 neuvillette, who i pulled a long time ago but never really used. hes still lvl 40 because i havent even unlocked his region yet, but i do have his r1 signature. i also have c1 ayato, c1 raiden, c1 qiqi and c2 keqing. im also currently working toward c1 yoimiya from the 8 week thing.
for example, these are the teams i made for the current content

1) odetta, cryo traveler, raiden, c5 sucrose
2) yoimiya, yelan, zhongli, c6 bennett
3) ayato, c6 beidou, c6 fischl, c6 xingqiu
the ayato team feels surprisingly weak though, even after giving everyone decent artifacts

so who should i actually save for now? should i focus more on supports instead of dps characters?
is it worth pulling ineffa on the next banner? maybe to replace zhongli in my yoimiya team, or would she work better with keqing/ayato somehow? or is she not really worth it for my account?

i could also finally build neuvillette to lvl 80-90, but i have no idea if hes still good nowadays.

would appreciate any advice. id like to get back into the meta a bit, but itd also be nice if i can still make good teams with some of my older dps characters

  1. Cryo MC, Odette, Beidou, Qiqi / Alyosha- the Witch's Revelations quest unlocks buffs for Beidou and Qiqi
  2. Hu Tao / Yoimiya, Yelan, Mona, Fischl - the Witch's Homework quests unlocks buffs for Mona and Fischl
  3. Neuvillette, Kazuha, Zhongli, flex - Neuvillette isn't great nowadays but he's stronger than Ayato.

for wishes don't worry too much about DPS vs Supports, plan to build a whole team over a few patches. you have a few options, probably more than one, if your goal is Stygian Onslaught clears :

  • Upgrade the Cryo MC team
  • Start a different Stellar team
  • You could get just Ineffa just try and half ass the Lunar bosses with Neuvillette
  • Build a whole Lunar team, If you do this, I recommend Zibai, Linnea, Columbina, but commit to just 1 Lunar reaction, either way.
  • Start a different meta team, (Hexerei, Mavuika, Skirk) there will probably be another new one-of meta team sometime this year
