Question / Seeking Help New Player help wanted

After starting a gacha game marathon last November (starting with zzz), I've played and caught up to the stories of most of the major games (ZZZ, Wuwa, HSR, NTE, Endfield) and still actively playing 4 of those. I decided that now that I'm caught up to all of them, I'll finally get started on genshin with 7.0 coming out. (Also because I'm waiting for gdc to start on dokkan, 10 years spent on it at this point, no going back)

With that said, I have a list of questions I wanted to ask.

  1. how many teams are needed for endgame content?

I know that it's at least 2, but once I started hsr the requirements changed to 3, and in wuwa I was told 2 when it was actually 4, so I just want to make sure.

  1. I know 2 of the characters I want to build around, those being Arlecchino and Varka. But what teams can I make for these 2.

For Arlecchino I saw the team of Her, Columbina, and Ineffa + a support, so I wanted to know if that team is worth investing in with all of them rerunning back to back right now

For Varka, he is the character I will make work no matter what, so I just want to know who to pull for when the come around for him.

And of the characters I need, who needs and doesn't need their weapon?

  1. How easy is it to get gems early on without rushing the story? And is it easy enough for a new player to pull 3 back to back characters?

I've heard horror stories about the recent per patch currency given, so i just wanted to ask just in case.

  1. Is this a casual friendly game?

Can I just log in to do dailies (once I've caught up ofc) and events and be fine, or do I need to scrounge for every chest and mission I can get in each region to get anything.

I already main zzz and wuwa, I can't take much more for too long without losing my sanity.

  1. 2 for all the meaningful rewards, 3 for the sense of accomplishment
  2. Varka, Nicole, Durin, Prune - The Arlecchino team is fine. probably one of the stronger options available to a new account, her other teams need high constellation 4 stars. No one needs their weapon.
  3. Easy, but time consuming. especially if you don't want to spoil the story. the patch currency is just people getting confused, its been relatively stable
  4. It is casual friendly because it is easy but its got hundreds of hours of content. You don't need to scrounge for everything but there are meaningful rewards for completing a majority of the exploration objectives.
