Genshin Impact's 5.7 is dropping in a bit.

This is said to be one of the biggest patches.

What are your hopes and expectations?

I expect everyone to get wet over Skirk. I will save my gems and wait for a rerun of Varesa. Ad do the usual events/finish Natlan story.

>>712961607 (OP)
Buy an ad, chinkcel.

>>712961607 (OP)
Nod-krai is in 6 weeks though

>>712961607 (OP)
More porn

>>712961797
Honestly, it seems kind of silly to release a character like Escoffier right before Shirk. I know they're completely different in personality. But they hit some of the same notes in visual/clothing designs. She should have come out right after Varesa, to appease all the thin fags bitching about Varesa being "fat."

>>712963568
They want people to get both since they compliment each other gameplay wise. Make people double dip.

>first new quest scene missing half its lines voice acting again
pathetic fire the faggots and replace them already

>>712964631
They just announced like a week ago they have replaced them. But they didn't make it in time to record stuff for this patch.

Also, you're an idiot for not playing an anime game in JP from the start.

>>712964917
utterly pathetic, do it already, get rid of them and have actual voice acting in your game again

>>712964631
They've already confirmed 2 firings, more will be on its way. Either you return by next patch, or you'll be fired.

6.0+ onward will be 100% voiced. May be even as early as 5.8.

Doesn't bother me much since I play in Jap.

>This is said to be one of the biggest patches.
>Typical 1.5 hour dain quest in the middle of the most dead part of the year
>No new map
>Not flagship events
>One character who is only hyped lorewise
This is almost the exact opposite of a "big patch" what the fuck are you talking about. Everyone knows we will get like 1 or 2 cool moments and lore bombs and then patch will be dry af

>>712964631
>>712964917
hope they get brit VAs & not more subhuman amerimutts. i'd actually tune in for the accents because they're sexo as fuck.

>>712964631
Old Paimon soundt better I hate to say it because Corina was disgusting, and I'd take the new one over her, but it's just true atm. Hopefully new bitch gets into her flow, but right now it sounds so generic and no better on the ears. Kept the pitch just as high and replaced uniqueness with a Mini mouse impression.

>>712966869
good thing hoyo doesn't listen to dipshits like you

>>712966869
The voice actor that started the whole thing is a Japanese guy who speaks English. The few replacements I've heard of are Americans who are not part of SAG. From now on, they're basically going to pick anyone who isn't union. From any country.

>>712966895
Paimon's old VA wasn't bad. Too bad she was a lunatic, and couldn't just shut the fuck up, and had to talk shit about her employer, the one that gives her 90% of her income, and the fans in general.

She could've rode the gravy train and double dipped in both the game + anime + other opportunities in other Mihoyo games/Chinese games/gacha games. Now she's probably blacklisted.

Makes you think what drives a person to do such a thing.

>>712961607 (OP)
Adiabatic remndr

>>712967506
>Makes you think what drives a person to do such a thing.
She, like the other SAG defenders, was taking a calculated risk that if she brown nosed enough, SAG would let her in. But she should have known better. SAG already double crossed all the voice actors when they joined in solidarity in the first strike. The voice actors had to do a second strike because SAG 1) didn't let them in and 2) wrote exceptions for voice acting.

The whole thing is such a debacle that people who ARE members of SAG are now leaving, because it's better optically to be freelance after all this.

>>712967572
>she voiced Enma Ai
holy fuck her voice is pure sex
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3NyuQtlAsQ
i didn't know it was her i didn't bother watching any of skird's ads because she has a fucking stupid name

You're right guy I might actually need to roll for Skirk now.

Yeah no I'm skipping this retarded whore. I've been pulling almost exclusively for DPS characters since Natlan started. Give me a fucking break already I'm not farming any more Crit shit. also
>she's Cryo and not some weird new Abyss element
unironically DoA for me

>>712961607 (OP)
Welp. I got her on my first 10-pull since apparently I was due my first Capturing Radiance. Do I go for her weapon or cons with the primos I have left?

I came back to Genshin recently after having quit almost two years ago as a day one player. Game is fun again after getting burned out from before.

Looks like there has been a decent amount of power creep, feels kind of bad that I missed out on all these new characters.

>>712968029
Dunno about her weapon, but I hear her c1 is more of a stepping stone to her c2.

>>712961607 (OP)
Skirk is super strong but I hate that you can't use her burst often since it's cool.

>>712961607 (OP)
>This is said to be one of the biggest patches.
It doesn't even have a new area. This just a filler patch.

Skirk is the first character I've ever rolled purely for meta. I don't really like her kit but I had a weapon, artifact set, and all the supports for her and because I rarely roll my account sometimes struggles in end game stuff so I wanted her.

>>712968348
Most final patches like this before a new area has a long 40 day special filler event. It's actually kind of weird this one doesn't.

>>712968998
I dont think this is the last patch before 6.0

>>712968998
5.0 has been weird in general. I always thought it would be a chill filler version and I was right.
Next patch has 2 new areas though from what I'm reading.

Shit, Skirk hits pretty hard even at E0. Does she even need cons?

>>712969139
Heavy investing into her seems fucking retarded since she'll obviously be powercrept and doesn't have any utility. She's too damn restrictive.

>>712969091
Someone claimed it's only 6 weeks to Sneezy Russia. But I hope you're right. Feels a little too early to me.

>>712968970
Did you get Varesa? Because she's the overpowered meta destroying character (at least for now). She's also the first character I ever tried to get more than 1-2 cons in.

>>712969343
I like to get cons for characters I like, but only if it adds some value. It's why I have C2 for Raiden.

Tired of seeing hoyoshit
play wuwa

>>712969420
No, she sucks.

>>712969434
I wouldn't unless you REALLY like her and even then I don't think it'll be worth it, she's strong at c0 already. If her C2 let her burst regularly or something I'd say go for it but the way she plays is super gay imo.

They're REALLY fucking intent on making all the envisaged echo trials as cancerous as possible, aren't they?

>>712969571
>she sucks
Riiiiight...

>>712970130
>try it with raiden
>fail because I have her built as an EM bot
kek
shenhe's was easy though, they all have been although I haven't done most of them

>>712970130
I havent done many of them, since I generally dislike that kind of extra particle effect.

>>712961607 (OP)
Did the chinks release a skip button yet? If not don't care.

>>712969362
Anon... snezgaya delayed until 7.0...

>>712970269
wait a second... I had her built for dmg
uh oh

>>712969420
She's only good for running around Natlan.

So what is the next region if not Snesne?
Dear god I hope its not the filler shit like the Amphorous we get in HSR.

>>712969420
>Because she's the overpowered meta destroying character
lol

>>712970518
It's called Nod Krai. The inspiration was like sci-fi Nordic + witches and stuff. Columbina and Varka will appear.

>Looks at the stats on her weapon
Fucking christ, this is Mibibi tier.

ZENLESS ZONE ZERO IS A BETTER GAME

>>712970391
And killing everything by sitting on their face.
And then exploding.

Wait, is Dahlia an adult?

>>712970391
You can't use her run endlessly in other regions (unless you have C6). But you still get places 10x faster in other regions using her. I already tested it. Without an endless run I was able to run all the way from Natlan to the edge of Mond in 20 minutes. And it would have been shorter if I went around the chasm.

>chess boss
what an annoying fucking fight what the hell. Feels like I'm fighting HP sponges from abyss 12.

>>712966785
this one is a dry patch, only giving out 50 rolls because they're saving up for anniversary. Next one and 6.0 will the most content in a long time.

>>712970693
The worst part is how hard anyone who isn't Skirk gets penalized for holding it.

>>712961797
Did you miss Varesa anon or are you going for cons? I didn't get her weapon thinking I was gonna use her with lost prayers for artifact routes but turns out Mavuika is straight up better at them and faster on land even so may as well get her weapon too

>>712971309
Anon, you're supposed to freeze it for fuckheug damage. It's a "puzzle" boss.

>>712971309
I just put together a freeze version of a Chasca team and fly above the annoying shits.
It might not have that many annoying invulnerability phases, but its still really fucking annoying.

>>712970693
Can you explain what this means? Is it good or bad? I just pulled Skirk for the fuck of it. I might be bold and get her weapon, once more, for the fuck of it.

Is Wolf-Fang any good on her? Looking at its traits, it seems like a good fit.

>>712969420
>Strongest DPS in the game
>the unrivaled hydro dragon sovereign
>an abyssal warrior from outside tevyat
>human turned pyro archon, unrivaled in the nation of war
>then you got a chubby cow girl who eats too much

How does it make sense

>>712971471
I got her up to C4. I'm just waiting for a rerun to get her to C6. The first and probably only 5* character I'll get to C6.

>>712971532
Its really good on Skirk, but it hyper specific for her.
Its not a weapon you can toss on someone else later.

>>712971532
Mibibi's weapon was so ridiculously good, you're doing yourself a grave disservice by NOT getting it. This was despite the fact that's she's already the strongest character in the game even without it.

Of course, the real issue with Skirk is that she has TWO dead stats, making artifact farming for her even more obnoxious. She doesn't need either energy recharge or elementary mastery, which is annoying for me because most of my Deep Gallery artifacts have one or the other. Or both.

>>712971581
Varesa ate a god.

>>712971852
That makes it easier to build her though. What sucks is that she can never use her burst and that she needs her supports to attack or her damage tanks and she needs a freeze team or else everything goes to shit and she needs hydro instead of pure cryo or you lose access to her +talent level perk and that she is squishy.

>>712971820
>despite the fact that's she's already the strongest character in the game even without it.
That's precisely why I didn't roll for it.

How much of a damage loss is it if I just use Blizzard Strayer? My artifacts are awful. The only viable circle I have for her is a crit rate one, but it has Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery. EVERYTHING fucking went into those two.

>>712970130
Raiden's is the worst Echo challenge they've ever done, bar none, and I've done everything but Shenhe's and Venti's. It's not even close. I was at this for nearly two hours and 95% of the runs weren't even close. I'm convinced energy gain is entirely random because some times I'd gain my burst during the first surge, other times I was barely at 60% despite doing the exact same rotations. If you get the snake or the squid the run is typically over immediately, and if the snake dives it's 100% over. If you get the quadruped then it's very likely over if he shields and you don't see it among all the bursts.

Protip: Use the E and then start the challenge to save half a second.
I did this at C0R0 with the PJWS and mostly damage artifacts. CR was I think 50% or 60% and CD was I think 180%. I can provide the artifacts if you need to get an idea of what I was running with.

>>712971581
It's like in many JRPGs where someone will think they're a god. Then some little genki girl can beat them up with just her fists.

>>712968156
Who did you main back then returning anon? Or rather, what teams did you normally use

>>712972318
It took me five tries. The goal is to time your attacks with the thunder surge.

>>712972117
>she is squishy.

>>712972473
even though I think I made that webm I skipped that brick

>>712972269
the big thing is that enemies might not have cryo on them which is a dps loss, if you are just using 1 hydro you might be fine though

>>712970269
goddamit, i also have her built into max EM and nothing else. too bad the new "artifact loadouts" are actually a fucking lie and i can't even save what she has on right now, re-equip and then go back without jumping through hoops, so i don't know if i want to bother anymore. is it really that hard to make a proper loadout feature? it has to be 100 times easier than an elaborate system that auto-picks artifacts for you based on set parameters, what the fuck are they thinking

>>712969362
You are a retard, sneed is in 2026, and the new area in this year comes after 5.8, which is the big patch with 2 new areas, the lava place and a perma summer area.

>>712972579
90% chance it's due to spaghetti code. Maybe they can't implement it without breaking the game.

>>712972318
You're so bad. I haven't completed mine yet but I get to 10% or so, but you do over twice as much damage than I do. Retard.

>>712971820
>>712971702
Would it be something that would help carry me through all the content like Carlotta and her signature weapon in WuWa? I also don't have any other good swords for Skirk immediately available, although I could make the craftable one. I have about 20k primos, but my roster is fairly shallow. But, like, I would have been a total fool not to roll both Carlotta and her weapon, and I was essentially in the same spot. HODL for 2.0 characters to widen my roster or get Skirk a weapon?

>>712971619
godspeed

violent sex with the cow

>>712972441
That is straight up what I did in the webm, you can even see me do it and I only won with two seconds to spare which would probably have been like three or four if not for the whiff at the start somehow. It's not like you can time this stuff well because spamming everything to earn your burst isn't always getting you your burst back in time, or you're on cooldown on Raiden for something so you can't do anything, or you're not set up for Thoma's burst to do your overloads, or you have like three seconds on the clock left for your buffs until it's back to the mines again. It's a complete mess of a challenge.

Even Ningguang was easier than this.

>>712972869
Personally I would hold for more characters.
That roster is VERY thin.
On the other hand it looks like the sword would blow every other character you have out of the water.
On the other OTHER hand you dont have any of her best in slot five star teammates.

I haven't pulled a single limited weapon in all my time.

>>712972869
You wait for the best char in the game anon, she is coming after skirt

>>712972869
Just hodl if you've got an account that underdeveloped, Mavuika would genuinely probably be a better benefit to you. If you just ignore content and go to Fontaine right now I believe it'll let you buy the recipe for the craftable sword, then you just have to farm up the necessary items to do so and then craft it. Billets will be your main roadblock currently.

>>712973491
OMG he just stole my account~!

*yoink*

Well this Abyss was unusually easy.

>>712972869
Investing heavily into Skirk as a new player is a bad idea because of her team restrictions. You would be better served pulling for universally useful supports, off-fielders and healers like Kazuha, Furina, and mothafuckin Benny boy and more flexible damage dealers. If you pull Mavuika you can run a pretty decent pyro+electro team with Ororon, Iansan and Chevreuse, but you can't use her generally superior playstyles of melt and vaporize without more characters. Save up.

>skirk quest gives mats
woah is just for an event or are they finally giving character shit for doing character stories?

>>712973252
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I WANT TO KISS HER

>>712973614
If by finally you mean for a while now, then yes.

>>712973614
They've been doing it since the start of Natlan, you just have to complete the story quest/tribe quest within the patch it was released in.

Thanks for the advice. Then save I shall.

Aw, they fixed the bug where Zhongli's echo would go nuts

>>712973650
Capitano pls go.

>>712970645
>The inspiration was like sci-fi Nordic + witches and stuff.
They've stopped doing the whole inspiration thing years ago. The names in Nod Krai pull from the Baltics and Finland, that's about it.

>>712973731
Assuming you're coming from WuWa or are just new to the game in general, WuWa specifically has a higher emphasis on pulling the weapons due to its 100% guarantee for a weapon. That's why there's more discussion about pulling thing's like Ciaconna's gun, Cartethyia's sword (Since there's no good HP% sword at all), Brant's sword (Since it gives insane ER%), etc. It's fare more viable for even F2P to afford them and since you can target standard 5*s there's more talk about "Should I stick with the standard or not".

In Genshin there are a lot of cope options by comparison so most people, particularly F2Ps, never even pull on the weapon banners at all because it sucks so much ass in Genshin due to not being a 100% guarantee. Up until a few patches ago you had to potentially lose twice (140-160 pulls) just to guarantee a weapon in another 80 pulls. There's a few characters that are made much better with their 5* like Noelle and Itto with Itto's Redstone Thresher, Yelan with her bow, Navia with her axe, Chiori with her scissor sword, and Mavuika with her greatsword. Then you get characters like Kazuha who (In my opinion) is absurd with the Sacrificial Sword since he jumps twice and generates so much energy, Neuvilette who I believe is stronger with the BP 4* catalyst over his own signature weapon, and Yoimiya who is almost as powerful as her signature weapon if you have a Rust at R5.

Have they finally come to their senses after 5 years? What are the chances of the previous summer areas returning and becoming permanent? Ah, who am i kidding, that's as likely to happen as old events becoming permanent.

Imagine if the Captain did get released back during the Natlan Archon Quest, only to almost immediately be powercrept by Magic Alien Space Waifu.

bro we got faes and wild hunts n shit
next crossover char is gonna be Geralt of Rivia fr fr

>>712961797
Why would you need to pull for the fat cow?

>>712974045
cryo is FUCKED

>>712974047
More like Fate/Grand Order. I guarantee you more of Mihoyo's devs have played that than The Witcher.

>>712974053
Because I need 2 more cons.

>>712974086
Well yeah, but if Captain DID become playable, you know he would have been Cryo, right?

>like skirk's JP voice
>also like eng voice for once in genshin's life
I have no idea what language to do the story quest in now.

>>712974139
DOUBLE FUCKED

Should I do the Archon Quest first, or Skirk's quest first?

>>712973958
That's literally what they said though. There will be Fjords or whatever.

Well King Arthur is also associated with the Wild Hunt.

He doesn't need immortal angel gf. He needs passionate handsome human wife.

>>712973042
You realize you don't get chevreuse's attack buff if you don't hold the skill, right? You aren't using the team it gives you well at all. I ended with like 17 seconds remaining, it was one of the easiest yet

Why doesn't Itto just sign up with the Adventurer's Guild? They have some monster extermination commissions and shit too. All he'd need to do is kill some slimes and he'd make money.

In fact, Inazuma has a bunch of places where ordinary Adventurers wouldn't be able to visit due to the danger level. He probably won't die from electro radiation, right?

>>712974558
You're absolutely right in that I wasn't using the aimed shots which probably could have helped, but my issue was that on other runs I was doing aimed shots at the start and the rotation after and I never noticed a single difference in my damage output to any degree.

Absolutely a mistake not to be consistent with it on my part though and I shouldn't have half-heartedly decided when I wanted to use it or not.

>>712974703
Itto would drive all the other guild members out of business. He's even more talented at completing commissions than the traveler.

I feel like its the boss in Raiden's challenge that is the issue.
Does it hover in the air too much?
Does it pick the annoying little robot to turn golden?

>>712974703
He is a deadbeat and Shinobu makes enough money for them and their children anyway.

>>712974967
Nah. Itto probably only works for extermination quests. Anything that involves more delicate work or any sort of thought would be too much for him. For instance, take food delivery. He'd almost certainly deliver it to the wrong person, or his rough handling would ruin the contents.

Now, if all he has to do is fuck up a Ruin Guard, he'd ace it easily. Though he might need someone to go with him and make sure he doesn't get lost.

Wait, when did Collei enroll in the Akademiya? Why does the Traveler seem unsurprised by this development? What the fuck did I miss?

She clunky and I hate how the camera moves all over the place during a basic bitch combo. I'll have a stroke playing this clunky hoe, easy skip. After losing a 50/50 to C9 Diluc...

>>712974326
>he still does character quests
I gave up a long time ago. 20% are fun, 80% are a tedious waste of 2 hours.

>>712974357
Aside from aloy (which they were obviously forced into) Genshin hasn't really done any in-game collabs despite other games having Genshin collabs in them, it's kinda weird

>>712975057
>He is a deadbeat
He's not a deadbeat, he's willing to work his ass off just for the most mundane of reasons or to help his friends with some random topic they're focused on. He's just worse than Mona with money to the point that as soon as he gets money he immediately spends all of it and wracks up insane debts to pay for the random ideas he and his friends have. If Itto could control his spending habits the dude would generally be an insane asset to Ei and could possibly be on par with any of the clans running Inazuma with Shinobu at his side to rein in his stupidity.

>>712975057
He's not lazy, just incompetent. What he needs is a job that he can actually do properly, which means playing to his strengths. Unfortunately, the only thing he's good at is brute force, hence why Adventurer would be good for him. As long as he's picky about what jobs he takes (i.e., anything that doesn't require a modicum of intelligence), he'll be fine.

>>712973958
Or you know, the land of Nod, the land outside Eden. The biblical references are still a big part.

So we ARE gonna get to fight our sibling, right? Mihoyo are definitely animefags, so they won't blueball us on this, right? We're gonna get an anime rival fight where the siblings punch each other over and over, right?

>>712961607 (OP)
Do we have leaks on the next character yet?
I'm edging my pulls because I'm undecided on Skirk even though I have Cofee already because Cofee on her own is more than powerful enough

>>712975520
Skirk does more damage than Furina, Yelan, and Escoffier in that team though.

>>712976001
she is an electro charge something, seems pretty good but not skirk tier

So who do I put in last after Escoffier and Furina in a Skirk team?
And is she really useless without those 2 on the team?

>>712976482
It's more like the best way of getting your money's worth out of her. To put it another way, Escoffier is the savior of Freeze, and she was also designed to work with Furina. The fact that Freeze needs a savior at all should tell you all you need to know about the state Freeze is in without her.

why do people still play Genshin Impact?

>>712976853
Its fun

>>712976853
Still the best in its genre. Wuwa is a pale clone with nonsensical lore, retarded designs and slow ass updates

>160 pulls for Skirk

End me

>>712976925
Based fellow bad luck bro. It happened to me as well and I had to use all my genesis crystal funds from back when I used to buy welkin moons. I'm completely broke now.

>>712976179
Nice, that means it's safe save next patch.

I don't see anyone mentioning it yet but it seems like they changed the Abyss again right after this patch dropped.
Floor 11 changed but that's irrelevant
Floor 12 changed from

to me it stopped being fun with Sumeru, part of me wishes I still found it fun though
I kind of miss it

>>712977203
Sumeru was the worst part for me too, I dropped it there for half a year. Fontaine was great though, and Natlan is alright, just a bit sparse in terms of new maps.

Genshin need those ZZZ thigh and ass jiggle.

Got spooked by Keka (my first Keka con finally!) and had to use almost all of my rolls to get Skirk. Looks like I'll be forced to skip Mavuika again
Those damn cryo hags!

>>712977292

what the fuck are you saying

I kinda liked Fontaine too, I've tried Natlan but I just get filtered by all the wacky systems, movement mechanics and other gimmicky stuff
it just feels stuffy to me

I can see them making it some shade of your sibling in the Abyss that lingers to give a lore reason to fight after the fact. Then just make it your sibling with powers from before you got zapped into Teyvat.

>>712977425
HSR players got tricked into "investing" for a "future meta" support that "powercreeps everyone" right before their last region started and got rugpulled, that future meta never arrived and got power crept instantly.
They'll do the same here, shill a "future" support at the very end of a region that'll actually never be meta

>>712977428
It feels clunky at first because the animals have an entirely different set of controls. But you just get used to it, and you don't use animals much anyway. The characters are gimmicky too but playing with their gimmicks is the whole point of the game. Chasca is gimmicky as fuck but that's what makes her fun

>>712977654
you know what, screw it, I'm reinstalling

I wonder what element Dain will be. A lot of people seem to think he'll be fire.

>>712977637
didn't they already do it with that green whatevername woman last year?

>>712977868
If Skirk is any indication, they'll make it so that he disguises his void powers as pyro even though looks like anything but fire. It's void, but behaves exactly the same as pyro. Fuck.
Couldn't they just give skirk her own element THEN claim that it ALSO has properties of cryo?

Fuck!!! Some of my mods are broken. 5.7 killed modding. fuck fuck fuck!!!!

>>712977654

I rolled for her on a whim, now she never leaves my overworld team, her flight is amazing.

>>712977916
Emilie was never good even on her release date, and nothing hinted about burning being "Natlan meta" other than hallucinations. What was shown on her release is that it a burning character ever releases, she'd be the best support, and that's what happened with Kinich.
Sunday as different, on his release date his C0 powercrept other limited supports' C6, he was that bonkers good, everyone went all in on him. Then got powercrept on top of that immediately.

>>712978021
My understanding is that if you're gonna fight on Teyvat, it's best to utilize the systems in place. Abyss monsters mostly fight by mimicking the power of the elements. They all do that. Absolutely no Abyssal creature in the entire game has ever fought using an element that isn't one of Teyvat's seven.

>>712978221
The dragon boss uses void(physical) and pyro.

>>712978509
Physical is just physical. Pyro is, of course, pyro. If all the alleged "void" does is cause physical phenomena, then it's no different from whacking something with a physical object.

Ultimately, the Abyss fights using the elements. There is no more practical a force than the seven.

>>712978584
>>712978221
>>712977868
If Dain does become Pyro, then this means that Void can be any element and at some point we'll get a void character that can switch elements on the fly.
I'm hoping that will be the Traveler's sibling.

>>712978697
We already have a character who switches elements. It's the Traveler. And switching elements on the fly is a pointless gimmick. A character with seven different elements would need seven different sets of artifacts.

>>712961925
>>712967693
kys jeet rat

Honestly, all this shit with the siblings is starting to piss me off. If I were the Traveler, I probably would have lost my temper and punched Loom in the face. Sister or not, regardless of her
guilt regarding Khaenri'ah, she's being a colossal bitch.

>>712979197
>playing as a m*le
Thats what you get

>>712979197

>>712978810
>switching elements on the fly is a pointless gimmick
You are kinda right on that. Thinking on the teams i currently use. I can't really see any of them getting any better by someone on it being able to change element. The character changing element would have to be build entirely around the gimmick. Like getting huge damage bonuses for proccing all the reactions or something.

>>712979369
Same logic the other way around. If your brother/sister is being a jackass and refuses to explain, you make them explain by force. Even if it were my brother, my father, or my mother, I don't think I'd be able to tolerate this sheer amount of bullshit. It's incredibly aggravating.

>Free character in the next event
>It's Sethos

GEE, THANKS. Seriously, who the fuck even uses Sethos for anything? I need more constellations for my Iansan, stop giving me characters I don't need.

>>712979494
So if your mother didn't want to tell you something, you would beat the shit out of her. You sound healthy and not at all like a psychopath.

>>712979576
To this level, yes. This isn't just not saying something. This asshole is forcing you to travel through seven nations, wreaking havoc everywhere they go and treating you like shit. I mean it's not like the sibling is innocent here. They're a terrorist and they don't even have the decency to give you an explanation. Doesn't that warrant at least one punch in the face? No matter how you look at it, they deserve it.

>>712979197
>Mavuika asks you to give your sibling corrective punishment in CN
>asks you to punch her in EN
really activates the almonds

>>712979576
I thibk I have seen this fallacy before, forgot what its name

Honestly, the sibling's words kind of prove that whatever they're doing, it's not something the Traveler would approve of. They said that they're not gonna let the traveler succeed, meaning that whatever the path the traveler's on, it's definitely going to crash against the Abyss Order's goals. The traveler is desperately hoping that whatever the explanation is, it'll be something that will make sense. The sibling is under no such delusion. They know the traveler will disagree and oppose them. They know for a fact that they're gonna fight.

>>712979559

Surtalogi is a chunni little shit

So is Raiden related to the Abyss or something? Like her skill and burst also rip tears into space, just like Skirk.

>>712981458
Surtalogi is a pedo

So for Skirk, am I supposed to not use her burst until her skill's duration's nearly up? I know that's gonna lower her burst's damage, but it looks like most of her damage actually comes from her tap-skill anyway.

She's not really too wrong here except taking her sweet time in telling you what she's been doing.

She's also killing a LOT of people to bring back a copy of Khaenri'ah, whether that be it "physically" or it existing only within the Ley Lines.

I guess if she brings it back physically somehow, you'd get to travel there after Snez?

Good enough. Will see the leaks for 6.0 first, but will most likely give her at least one pity.

after almost 5 fucking years, i'm done. i got pretty good 5 stars and awesome builds but it's getting boirng now. maybe things would've been better if natlan was good but their stupid quests and horrible writing just sucks. it's really hard cuz the good world quests get hidden by it, and are infinitely better than any archon quest but no, fuckers need voice acting cuz they can't read anymore. idiots. even the world quests' hidden areas are starting to get boring, same shit always, "oh, it's an ancient pretty looking place that has a lore dump (hard to care for if you're not younger than 18 or even 20) has been abandoned because omg BAD PEOPLE?! omfg so bloody original" fucking hell. what the hell was wrong with fontaine and sumeru that they refuse to copy that? or be as creative as that

How do you even get it to trigger? It reads like just regular electro charged. Is the gimmick that only nod-krai character elemental applications can apply it? Like electro characters from there create moonshock instead of electro-charged and nobody else?

>>712985502
The dino quest was much better than the Archon one...

>>712987771
because it was shit, just like freeze.
No one in their right mind bother making hydro electro comp beside doing DPS brute force, they also need to fix shatter reaction because that thing has been dead since 1.2

>>712987686
Very good. Revealed what happened, as in, why Lumine is doing the thing she's doing, trying to bring Khaenri'ah back by dooming it looking for you. And also how Istaroth was working with Sustainer to fuck both of you and keep you locked in Teyvat.

(You) are also very sleepy, and fell asleep twice, once after falling into Teyvat, and twice, after being slapped back. And Lumine had her memories wiped, and had to rebuild it over time.

>>712987842
Everyone can do it, they just update it because shock was one of the shittiest reaction in this game.

>genshin characters once the sibling finally back to their ship.

>>712987907
Wait they just got rid of electro-charged completely and just made a brand new reaction for it? I guess that's fair but I always really liked electro charged stunning the enemies. Early on Lisa with rain or quick swapping with Barbara was my dps option

>>712988091
They just changed the damage multiplier and now it can crit.
Old shit basically just shittier version of Anemo reaction.
Now they are on par with melt or vape.

It lets you set main stat and 2 substats. That is litterally all it does.

https://youtu.be/k1U2LnXd5GE

>>712989150
nta, i crafted a goblet for Skirk today, obviously all 3 non-guaranteed procs went to shity substats, so i tried using the reroll quills, it literally rerolled into the EXACT SAME substats one for one, but the procs into Crit DMG, while being the same amount became worse. Wasted 4 elixirs and 2 quils on a terrible piece. Not unusable, sure, but the absolute bare minimum you can get, it feels like shit

>>712989578
At least you only get a couple of them a year, so it can only roll shit once or twice.

>>712989412

I only do the Skirk domain for Varesa artifacts since i got nothing else to do, all character already level up.
I don't even need Verasa's artifact because my Codex already do tons of damage for her, I just want to waste my extra resins.

kek mine was similar, I crafted one the other day since my cryo goblets are all pretty meh. This one is meh too

>>712990251
How the fuck does that even work? I thought it was supposed to force at least +2 rolls on the selected stats? Another useless function.

>>712990251
Lmao big condolences anon. Energy recharge would've softened the blow if it weren't for the fact that it's Skirk using it.

>>712990351
seems like it gave them different base rolls though? that's useful

>>712990351
It guarantees 2 rolls on either of your selected stats, not both.

>>712990351
well yeah, the crafting of the artifact forced the two procs into crit DMG, then the reroll forced two procs into crit DMG once again, but everything else went to shit in addition to the procs themselves being worse
>>712990414
yeah, even flat ATK would've been fine, just insult to injury

>>712990502
So what, it just randomly rerolls the stats you selected and you hope it rolls slightly higher? Seems pointless.

>>712990613
>Seems pointless.
how are you this dense

That image showing rerolling into worse rolls of the same stats really show off how good the system is.

>is actually a happy carnival made specifically for Klee
No Klee. According to the leak the main plot will explain Bennet's bad luck and lavawalker lore.

Is signature worth it? I was ready to spend 180 rolls on her but won 50/50 on 60 rolls. I haven't pulled on the weapon banner since Furina and remember they changed some numbers a few versions back, is it any better now?

The way they reintroduced her back into the story is by... just appearing out of nowhere next to us on a breakfast table randomly?

They completely gave up on the storytelling huh....

>>712995969
>is it any better now?
It's also a 50/50 except if you don't roll for the weapon after you lose the 50/50 you lose the fate point when the banner disappears instead of it carrying over. I can't remember if you lose the 50/50 if it has a chance to give you a standard weapon or just the opposite weapon that you picked, but I lost it and got Shenhe's so maybe it's the opposite?

>>712992660
There have beena lot of lore drops but the still refuse to explain the most important things
The best thing we got from natlan is that dragons ruled the entire world before humans and before the world of genshin existed, and the power they used, phlogiston can be found in honkai star rail.

>>712996049

my raiden aside, everybody's using the exact same 4*s in the challenge. if you're getting juggled maybe you keep facetaking it. Thoma has a shield, pop your burst during the Thunder Strike. And if you're not doing much damage, maybe the problem is your Raiden.

God damn, there are so many characters to roll for.
There needs to be more male characters so people can have time to save.

to be honest i was hoping it was an excuse to retool it but no.

Is the new paimon voice in this one or next one?

>>712996158
What event? She only appeared once at the end of Fontaine archon quest

I haven’t play new patch yet but thought she was in this one.

>>712997263
I mean she has had a bunch of reruns. I have her c5r1, well two of those constellations were a mistake. Got a double 5* when pulling on the wrong banner. I don’t know why you would have r5 though.

All versions of traveler are shit now, even the good 'ol reliable dendro traveler sucks now because dendro meta is currently in the gutter.

Pyro is fine in co-op. I do co-op with a relative every week against the dragon and my team is Traveler + Mavuika and it works out pretty great. Use Mavuika's E, go to Traveler, hold E, burst, and mash a bit until Mavuika can burst before switching to her. It's very comfy.

I don't think PMC is horrible, but using the weekly dragon boss fight as an argument is extremely misleading, PMC literally gets a second set of overpowered constellations on that fight.

>>712998239
On its own it's still okay if you just want something occasionally doing Pyro hits off field and you don't have Mavuika. I just use the Dragon example because of the buffs it gets there specifically so Traveler can be very usable there. Not saying it's amazing or anything.

Is my Skork's damage good?

>>712998629
Eh, not impressed. If you wanna wow us, fight a local legend instead of a punching bag that can't hit back.

How do you even play Skirk? What's her "rotation"? With her signature set, that is.

What f2p cope can I use for Skirk's weapon if I don't have her signature?

You missed the point of that post.

Wtf??? Lumine and Paimon are bad???

>>712998896
Finale is apparently pretty good provided you can heal the bond. Counters her abysmally low base atk.

Bowling With Clowns?

>>712998879
imagine rolling for signatures without even knowing how characters work

>>712999370
I'm tempted to give her the hero's sword just for the aesthetics.

>>712999547
Imagine trying to act smart when you can't even read.
That post says signature set, which is artifacts. Not weapon.
Both poor AND stupid.

got her after winning 50/50, now I have to save bux for tsundere chef and praise gacha gods to not fuck me over with another diluc
