Vortex Gaming

· The latter half pickup schedule begins on Tuesday, April 28th, featuring La-Uma and Ne-Fere.
· The Fontaine bundle banner will also open on the same day, with Ya-Ho-Da scheduled for distribution.
· Starting May 11th, there will be a double experience and material event for Jingliu.
· The May Fantasia Theater will focus on Fire, Water, and Grass elements; details will be released later.
· The latter half 4-star characters include Xingqiu, Ya-Ho-Da, and Kirara.
· If considering a Ne-Fere party, Xingqiu and Kirara could be useful.
· It is recommended to get both La-Uma and Ne-Fere, and if you only have one, it's best to obtain parts from the opposite banner.

· Ne-Fere and La-Uma have great synergy when used together, so it's recommended to obtain both if possible.
· This banner can be a great opportunity, especially if you're aiming for a "Dal-Gam-Jeon" party.
· Considering Ne-Fere and Ja-Baek parties, which are top-tier in the current meta, choosing one of them is advisable.
· Ya-Ho-Da's recent utility has decreased, so the pickup alone might be somewhat disappointing.

· The weapon banner, featuring exclusive weapons for Ne-Fere and La-Uma, is an excellent choice for owners of these characters.
· Besides 5-star weapons, the 4-star weapon lineup, including the Favonius series and material swords, is quite decent.
· In particular, the "Oath of Dawn" catalyst can significantly enhance Ne-Fere's performance, making the weapon banner worth considering for investment.
· Both Xingqiu and Kirara can utilize material swords well, so the weapon banner is generally well-composed.

· The Fontaine bundle banner includes Emily, Clorinde, Sigewinne, Navia, and Lyney.
· With the performance of existing characters being generally leveled up in the current meta, these characters tend to fall slightly behind in competitiveness.
· Emily and Sigewinne, in particular, may have limited utility at C0 or low constellation levels, and you might need to consider at least C2 or higher.
· Considering the decreased value of sub-DPS positions and the characters' own performance, a cautious approach is needed unless you're pulling out of affection.
· Clorinde, Navia, and Lyney may also feel somewhat lacking in performance as time has passed since their release.

· The May Fantasia Theater will focus on Fire, Water, and Grass elements.
· Dehya, Yanfei, Ayato, Dahlia, Lyney, and Kirara were selected as opening characters, but the lineup is considered somewhat disappointing.
· Invited characters include Varka, Razor, Albedo, and Ja-Baek. Varka, in particular, may have limited utility due to a lack of synergy with Anemo characters.
· Ja-Baek is expected to have good synergy when used with Columbina and Aino.
· La-Uma, Varesha, Shuvruj, and Dahlia will appear as additional characters for the Performance Secrets.

· The current latter half pickup banner, centered around La-Uma and Ne-Fere, is considered satisfying.
· However, the character lineup for the Fontaine bundle banner leaves something to be desired in terms of performance.
· Questions are also raised about the absence of Las (Ras-Las).
· Overall, the pickup banner is satisfactory, but the Fontaine bundle banner seems to require a cautious approach.
