>favorite character is a 4*
>no one cares about her as a result
I wish Yanfei was more popular. You'd think she would for how skimpy she dresses.

>>713106161 (OP)
She always appear in a Liyue event though

She's pretty hot. Regrettably genshinkids only care about meta units

My first 4 star unit and I've been using her ever since.

>>713106161 (OP)
I keep trying to find merch of her anywhere but I can't find anything. I've even found Aloe merch before Yanfei merch. It's like she doesn't exist.

>>713106161 (OP)
Due to having not a single good claymore she's actually comparable to my Mavuika since I have good catalyst luck. I do wish they'd throw old units a bone once in a while, bring em closer to modern standards.

>>713106161 (OP)
I dunno about Genshin but in Nikke SR and R units are useless in any way imaginable and only act as gacha fillers.

>>713106161 (OP)
I love her, but I haven't used her lately.
What's her best DPS team now?

>>713106161 (OP)
4 stars usually see better life when they are supports of some kind, when they are supposed to be an on-field damage dealer they have their work cut out for them but with the right combos they can end up pretty competitive but rarely as good as a 5 star.

i heard Ga ming is pretty good these days due to the plunge artifacts and supports.

Yanfei has a pretty solid kit in my opinion but Pyro is a pretty narrow element to work with, you pretty much just do Vapes or Melts, i would use her over Klee at least.

it is fun building a character wrong on purpose, i got a Nilou Bloom team and run Barbara on triple elemental mastery and use her as the on-field bloom trigger, shit is hilarious her weakened healing just barely allows her to survive blowing herself up.

>>713107857
Yanfei/Yelan/XQ/Xilonen
Yanfei/Furina/XQ/Xilonen
Yanfei/Bennett/XQ/Xilonen

if you don't mind not *really* using Yanfei :

Yanfei, Furina, Baizhu, Emilie

I love these three, but Hu Tao and Furina are 5*s and get all the love while everyone forgets about Yanfei

>>713106161 (OP)
No one likes a lawyer.

>>713106161 (OP)
I wouldn't trust her with my case.
But I would.

>>713106161 (OP)
She was my favourite when I still played the game. Only character I bothered to triple crown.

>>713106161 (OP)
>The quest that introduces her has her essentially commit fraud
wtf mihoyo

>>713106161 (OP)
This happens to me in ZZZ instead, but luckily she is one of the best supports so you see her everywhere instead of being a cope 4* DPS, the worst fate ever

>>713106161 (OP)
Her JP voice is very soothing. I like her a lot.

>>713106161 (OP)
>played second or even third fiddle to Xiao and Itto in her own patch

>seen for 5 minutes at most since
>manages to be reasonably popular in spite of this due to her design + being meta which was likely a fluke
>now getting a skin for some reason
I take it Skirk didn't save Genshin if they are acknowledging that Yelan exists.

>>713110675
Lucy is like the Bennett of ZZZ since she buffs attack and it’s a super easy buff to keep up.

>>713111007
Shenhe and Ganyu got skins too even when they were out of meta.

>>713111108
Yeah. The brokeness of bennet combined with the cuteness fo a blonde hebe... ZZZ devs are just too based.

>>713111007
Haven't seen her skin leaks yet but I bet it will be like Diluc/fischl during GAA2. Bennet will be in the summer event so his skin is natlan themed but yelan's will be completely different being shilled on some separate event.

>>713111259
Shenhe wasn't even available for a year when she got her skin.
And it took like another year before she did become available afterwards.

Black sword, wolf-fang or aquila favonia for Skork?

What gives?

>>713111589
Sumeru's writers. Wait for nod-krai when the fontaine guys will likely come back.

>>713111724
Natlan was better overall than Fontaine. The start of Fontaine + the prison were terrible.

I lost my 50/50 to fucking Dehya at 80 pulls
I wanna kms
There's no fucking way I can make enough pulls before Skirk's banner ends
FUCK
I HATE BEING A NEW PLAYER IN THIS SHITTY GAME

>>713111920
Overall better? Yes. Better pacing? Hell no.

>>713112034
What? As a new player you have hundreds of pulls. I think the current totals are something like 500-600 pulls from permanent content.

>>713112169
woah woah woah, you expect him to actually play the game?

>>713112169
>500-600 pulls from permanent content.
that will take him literally hundreds of hours to do

>>713108124
Good thing I rolled for the gyaru on her re-run.

Thanks, I'll try 'em.

>>713112429
If he just wants Skirk then yes he can easily get enough for her.

>>713106161 (OP)
my wife...
feels bad her one tiny niche is about to be stolen by a new 5* AoE electro shielder.

>>713112657
Fuck Beidou in both ways, a parry character is pointless when 90% of enemies spend most of the time bouncing around jerking off refusing to attack

>>713110713
Her JP voice is a huge reason I like her. It's so comfy. Her EN voice is a disappointment in comparison.

>>713106161 (OP)
She's one of the most fun characters in the game personality wise. It's a shame she doesn't have a hangout quest but that content has basically been dead since Inazuma. If nothing else the teapot quest is basically a 5*'s story quest for her, but she needs to be the focus of an event sometime. Hopefully 2026 Lantern Rite gives her a new skin if Madam Ping finally becomes playable given their relationship.

>>713111724
Sumeru was when it finally became good you shit gobbler

>>713111948
My favorite

got to say i didn't really like skirk's character quest

i get the gist of it, but i dislike how they basically have skirk just tell you her backstory

just having skofnung tell us that surt wants to destroy all that she holds dear and seeing her keep people at arm's length would be enough to get the point across. you don't need to literally spell it out for us

>>713112848
Sumeru has horrible character writing (nahida and Dehya being the only exceptions) idk why you are so offended.

>>713110675
None of the characters hit as well as Genshin. The only character I kinda liked was Piper. All the others fell flat for me.

>>713111589
Writing a story and telling a story are two completely different skill sets. Mihoyo might be able to write interesting lore, but their storytelling is garbage. They don't know how to do anything that isn't filler or exposition.

>>713112576
I miss all of Yanfei banners so I haven't even gotten her C6. She's been the hardest 4* for me to get. I wish I got that while I still played.

When's the new coop endgame dropping?

>>713112830
>Hopefully 2026 Lantern Rite gives her a new skin if Madam Ping finally becomes playable given their relationship.
After Fontaine and the past couple Lantern Rite's, I've given up on Yanfei ever appearing again. It feels like MiHoYo completely forgot about her.

>>713113083
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kaveh.

>>713113251
>It's okay when Inazuma does it

>>713111589
I just dont get why the big WQs arent voiced and featured more, they are legit a selling point of the game I have seen so many people they only play for the story, and when you ask what they like about the story is always the big WQs like Jeht's or the narcizzen

>>713113251
nowadays star rail is also doing the first image

>>713114223
Hu Tao's feet. In Loom's mouth.

>>713114223
Shitheads keep complaining about wqs in the surveys because they don't play them. You wonder why natlan only has 1 wq chain and there is absolutly no more mid length wqs? That is why.

>>713106161 (OP)
i like her cause we share the same birthday. she is also the only 4-star i have maxed

i only arrived in fontaine yesterday and already utterly despise furina. this nation seems like a shithole and i hope you can either reform it or outright replace furina with someone else by the time i can leave

>>713111724
On the whole I'd rate Sumeru's AQ above Fontaine's. The latter had some high peaks, but also more absolutely retarded bullshit, and the prison was inexcusable.

Piper is as flat as it gets.

>>713114840
Kinda agree? Gratuitous Irmansul retcons and characters lacking personality was also bullshit.

>>713114795
Furina is one of the only good Fontaine characters but you really need to do the full archon quest to see why.

>>713114840
>and the prison was inexcusable.
I havent played Genshin in years, but I always see people bitching about this prison in threads. Why was it so bad?

>>713111589

NOPE

Correct

They are mediocre

Once again correct

>>713115283
>Why was it so bad?
It's a good idea but poorly executed. You start a quest where you are sent on a quest as a voluntary prisoner to find out information so the game tries to simulate the "feel" of being imprisoned by having you locked inside the same area doing menial task for hours on end and repeating them over and over. Imo it wasn't that bad but definitly the devs could've trimmed alot of fat.

My gf needs a rework. She can be a phys-buffing shielder with pyro application, a guaranteed crit burst dps or a def based charge-attack dps(lol), but she's just bad at everything.

I like that she gets attention in events at least, a shame she didn't get a hangout

>>713115185
>Gratuitous Irmansul retcons
yeah that's one of the worst things genshin's writers have ever done, which is saying something, but I don't consider that part of the Sumeru AQ. Unlike caribert, which might very well have been genshin's peak.

>>713115283
By all accounts, infiltrating a steampunk underwater prison to investigate the disappearance of a wrongfully convicted fatui SHOULD have been a good story. It just wasn't.
>warden of prison is a playable character, which by genshin writer logic means the prison must be a fair and happy place of smiles and rainbows, because for it to be otherwise would imply a playable character might have a meaningful character flaw (which by genshin writer logic would then require the use of the retcon tree)
>set up a "mystery" about people getting nasty food that's just a retarded nothingburger
>the prison has an underground fight club, but that's also a nothingburger
>almost zero actual gameplay, you just spend hours running around the annoying-to-navigate floors talking to (boring) characters.
>typical horrendously bloated writing with no skip button
>climax of the arc is the characters fighting... fucking water. This is resolved by neuvilette showing up, waving his arms, and declaring the problem magically fixed. (The writers thought this was so epic they reused it as the climax of the next arc.)

I am building Freminet cause I didn't get Skirk.
Any questions?

>>713107857
I've enjoyed using her with Yelan, XQ and Citlali. C2 Citlali buffs all 3 of them really well. I've given her Mualani's weapon and it's hit or miss because of Citlali's snowstorm thing. Might go back to that other 5* tome I have, I forget the name. The one that gets bonus elem dmg while on field.

>>713116729

I still think that she's one of the cutest girls. And I don't even play Genshin

>>713115283
Tabibito and Paimon are sent to a prison under false pretenses in order to find new information regarding the main plot. Instead you just run around doing odd jobs for everyone in the prison for several hours, none of which has anything to do with anything meaningful, followed by the lead (initially morally ambiguous) jailor questioning you about these unrelated events just so he can see you're trustworthy (?), then revealing that he was a good guy all along and in good terms with previously established good guys.

Nothing you do there actually matters and then the game just pops you back you into the actual main plot: Furina suffering conga line (which is good).

Nah, Nicole or the panda guy are easily the Bennett of ZZZ
Nicole pairs amazingly well with Astra making any Agent do good damage
Panda guy heals and gives you an insane DMG boost but so far only one character can make use of that (Which means he will get even better when they add more Rupture Agents into the game)

so with raiden, hat guy, and now maid robot we need a 4th robot to make a robo team

>>713117348
It's really a lot smaller and friendly looking than I expected.
Harsh environment my ass, i bet the immortal being locked inside it is just some cute dinosaur/marketable plushie mascot thingy.
Or is the immortal being the fucking cactus from the leaks?

>>713117281
Keqing's EN voice was so flat, I'm glad she's gone. I've played on JP since I started this game, but she was the main reason I swapped to JP, EN Keqing burst lines didn't have oomph to them.

>the game tries to simulate the "feel" of being imprisoned by having you locked inside the same area doing menial task for hours on end and repeating them over and over.
The problem, along with a lot of Genshin's story, is that it's a gacha game. You never actually "feel" imprisoned because you can always teleport out because you gotta do your dailies. Nothing permanent can happen in Genshin because you always have to do your dailies. I was hoping that Fontaine would actually flood like in the trailers, but they'd never do something permanent because you gotta do your dailies.
Playing Genshin felt more like being in prison than the prison arc.

Isn’t it implied to be a guy puppeting a bot based off his little sister. Alain from the Fontaine world quest.

>>713118396
You forgot Kachiner the geo cunny cinder carrier

This might be a dumb question, but does "Elemental Res Down", like in Xilonen's or Zhongli's skill, affect Geo? I know Xilonen's doesn't affect Dendro (for some reason). I'm trying to figure out who's best for Navia.

Who the fuck knows, mihoyo writers act like filthy contrarians and avoid approaching fan speculation even if it's based on very solid ingame information. Look how Capitano was 90% sure to be the bloodstained knight and ended up being a literal who.

Mondstadt and Liyue characters were the best.

>>713118218
hm. You know, now that I think about, other than the insane atmosphere I like, what made me like that place is that I got arrested while exploring some underwater section, and then because of that I had to do the AQ and WQ combined. Another point for the WQs I guess.

>>713119063
People said that about Nicole too though
Honestly it's Ju Fufu who'll be replaced in the long run, Stunners are a meme

That shit region single handedly killed any interest I had in the story. While I did like Sumeru it was hard to get back into it after the shitshow that was Inazuma.
