Newfriend here. That's pretty much the mentality I've decided to adopt for this game. This isn't like Azur Lane where banner reruns can take well over a year; as a result, missing out on a single banner doesn't result in that painful of a wait.
I started the game specifically to get Iuno and Lupa.
Ever since I started (I'm now at Union Lv. 37 and the rest of my cheevos are in pic related) and done all the available companion quests, I've resolved to also eventually get Yinlin, Lingyang and Jiyan.
I don't care about metafagging, so even though (from what I understand) apparently Shorekeeper is an absolute top-tier character, I'm not gonna bother getting her until I get all my aforementioned top priority characters.

Top priority: Iuno and Lupa
High priority: Yinlin, Lingyang, Jiyan, Cartethyia (haven't done her companion quest and don't even have access to the quest, but I love her design), Cantarella (same feelings as Cartethyia)
Don't care about the rest. If I get them, great, if not, whatever.
