So I've been looking around at what to pull and gotten some advice from people here but still a little confused.

I am seeing that people are recommending out of the standard pulls, to pull for weapons first but they are also recommend pulling for Shorekeeper from the New Voyage banner. I also plan to use the selector for Virinia

I noticed that the shorekeeper new voyage banner uses Radiant tide.

My goal and why I started is to get the Cyberpunk crossover character.

I'm still playing through the story.

So a couple questions....

What weapons should I get from the standard banner and in what order?

Should I really use radiant tides to pull for shorekeeper considering my main goal is the cyberpunk characters? I see that it takes 160 pulls to guarantee her and I'm worried this wont leave me with currency for the cyberpunk crossover.

So I want to start WuWa because of the Cyberpunk collab. I have a little bit of gacha experience and have been playing a few others lately.

I'm wondering what my best approach for pulling for the collab characters should be if I am starting right now.

Should I play through the whole story? I read you can skip to 3.0 but will I be losing out on currency by doing that?

Also, should I just save all of the currency I get for the collab?

Not sure what they are called in WuWa but will the tickets for like limited banners apply to the collab banner as well? As in, should I just save up everything for the collab?

Is there anything I should just spend right away because it won't be related to the collab?

Any other advice on what the best route to pulling for the collab will be?
