Enjoying your Mexican resort, amigos?
Soak in the sun before the taigas of Finland.

>>717658907 (OP)
My nigga Benny got some closure and I'm happy.

>>717658907 (OP)
The characters and their interactions are okay but the fucking resort is too much. This is well beyond a parody... and it's a permanent expansion of the map.

>>717658907 (OP)
I am not really feeling it this time.
I used to always come back for summer events even when taking a break from the game, but now it feels like a chore I have to do

>>717660004
Just like... don't do it bro. Do D3 ad fuck off with the primogems.
What do you need the artifact crafting materials for, to get stronger artifacts... to not clear whalemode anyway?

>>717660494
My ego is tarnished.

>>717660004
based

>>717659378
I just hope we return to a bigger Mare Jivari map soon. They basically already confirmed it on stream but still, make it a permanent map.

>>717658907 (OP)
GAA2 is still the greatest.

>>717662112
to me GAA was the best summer event. I dont know why people prefere the second one.

Not that the 5.0 series is coming to the end of the road, what are your thoughts on Natlan overall?

>>717662491
In my view, better cast, better music, better story, better domains. But I'm biased because I don't care for Klee.
GAA1 had the novelty of everyone complaining about how small the islands were on the first day

'alani

>>717662647
I mean Im biased too because of nostalgia, but I didnt really like the themed islands except for fischls. Fischls story was really good too. But I think the puzzles in GAA1 and gerneral exploaration was better

>>717662993
I got a similar feeling from Simulanka.

>>717658907 (OP)

It feels like half of Columbina fanart of the internet is his, I wonder how he's feeling right now with Nod Krai.

Amber - genki, slightly dumb but always well-meaning pyro girl who introduces and guides Tabibito through Mondo.
Xiangling - genki, slightly dumb but always well-meaning pyro girl who introduces Tabibito to Liyue, forms the backbone of our interaction with it (even fucking Skirk had to go through her restaurant).
Yoimiya - genki, slightly dumb but always well-meaning pyro girl who introduces and guides Tabibito through Inazuma.
...
Mualani - genki, always correct, cartoon character. Her arms turn into painted swirls when she attacks, she randomly turns into a giant inflatable. Natlan needs no introduction or guidance as it's just an overgrown theme park with cutesy-wubsie critters and every edge baby-proofed. Her role is instead to be the babysitter/older sister to Kachina, the self-doubting elementary schooler. Aqua element.

She's really a different archetype to Amber/Xiangling/Yoimiya/Mitsuki (Star Rail's) outside of being a happy-go-lucky girl. It's a completely different audience.

>>717665204
Your existence is wrong and you're reaching.

Xiangling is objectivly the best Wife for Tabibito
She can cook
She can Fight
She has Pyro vision aka Best Vision
She is a Tomboy
She has Gouba

>>717665659
>She has Pyro vision aka Best Vision
Arlecchino is objectively the best character then because she has three of them.

>>717666069
Correct.

>>717662616
it made me drop genshin

>8 days left
I can just do the event and not worry about chests and side quest because they won't disappear this time, right?

>>717662616
I get where they were coming from with trying to shake up a stale game, from details as subtle as new layout for character marketing cards.
Music was pretty meh.
Environments were nice.
Once again I get what they were trying to do with mixing more lighthearted aesthetics with a more "epic" story but I don't think they executed it well.
Ochkanatlan was incredible.
Iansan got hit with the Travail 4* hammer like Lynette was. I still want a 5* Lynette goddamnit, my dual twin unit dream still hurts.
Summer event is meh but I am happy for Benito.
Too much powercreep because shart rail makes money from it and it works.
They should have ran Capitano instead of Chasca.
Ineffa best girl.

>>717666456
>Ineffa best girl

>>717669591
it was kinda weird how one of the biggest plot points in natlan was dealt with in a random quest on festival island

>>717670381
You can go back every 3 day and kill it again for a Stanley's Notes

>>717660004
BASED BASED BASED

Welp... done with everything. Now to wait for nod krai...

>>717673632
How is she so perfect?

I remember theories about Columbina before Natlan was released, saying how she was going to be the new archon. How did they knew something like that back then? Were there hints?

>>717673805
I always knew she would be important because she was in the thumbnail for Lazzo.

>>717673805
literally all of it was headcannon, throwing random stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Im glad that columbina gets to play a big role in the sory tho lots of people like her even if shes not my #1 harbinger.

>>717673805
There were many crumbs about Columbina, voicelines treating her as inhuman and a detached being, being abnormally high in ranking. Also her angelic aesthetics creating a lot of fan content treating her as an eldritch being which was cool.
Although most headcanon and lorefag essays theorised that she'd be an Angel/Seele instead.

>>717674297
she HAS to be related to seelies

>>717674373
Far more likely she's lunar aligned, before the arrival of the Heavenly Principles, those are light/solar aligned.

Finally got my Ineffa to max Ascend.
Now I have to actually start making a team for her.
I was originally planning to do Furina, Ororon, Ifa (which I then found out is the team everyone is using), but then I also found out that I somehow don't have Ifa. Which given I put a good 80 pulls into Escoffier's banner, is a big shock.
So now I'm sitting here mulling over if I wanna just wait till Ifa rolls back around or start building like Sucrose + Candace instead.

nibelung

sebastos

>>717675507
Or of course, replacing Furina with Aino next patch I guess.

>>717675507
Is she supposed to get a new artifact set? I have her leveled up except for artifacts and don't know what to farm.

>>717675507
lol ororon and ifa aren't needed
Just use whatever hydro, electro, anemo units you have

>>717676018
Yes, also a new weapon from the Nod craftables which beats out all her other F2P options. Possibly also battle pass weapons too.

>>717676139
>Yes, also a new weapon from the Nod craftables which beats out all her other F2P options.
Oh thank Christ, I only have one Deathmatch and I had to steal it from Escoffier

>>717676018
Uses whatever gilded dreams, golden troupe or thundering fury you have until 6.0
New artifacts will 100% be better for lunar reactions.

>>717676169
R5 Deathmatch? Dragon's Bane might be better if not.

>>717676126
My Ororon C6 is fantastic, so of course I'm going to use him.
The issue is more I have no leveled Hydro units besides Furina, and that means my last unit needs to also heal if I don't want a mountain of downtime on Furina, but my only Anemo healer is Jean who has middling Anemo application.

>>717676708
Should've invested in the ploonge meta. Cow + bird goes crazy with robot and furina.

I hate Natlan so much bros
Though I admit that Mavuika and Mualani are two of the hottest characters they ever made.

>>717665296
No he's right, completely. The lack of genki pyro characters in later zones is one of the signs of the change in the game.

>>717676425
R1, I'm not paying that much.

>>717677029
Then even kitain cross is probably better, i use dragon's bane because it does a little more damage than kitain though.

>doing the Guiztli Ridge theme park avtivities
>three way shootout
>stone in the middle

>>717677203
If I'm going to waste billets to craft an R5 might as well wait for Nod Krai's.

>>717677001
Dawei has heard your complaints. Alice will be a genki pyro milf.

>>717679569
Can she get a bigger witch hat please?

>>717679569
good luck to the english VA chainsmoking grandma

>>717658907 (OP)
Took a long break. Going through Natlan now.

>>717681224
>Keeping track of everything with the global map
I don't get it, but have fun I guess.

>>717681320
I take mental note of all things I've seen and puzzles I've done in an area then go mark them later.

>>717681320
some people mark every chest or culus they find on the map in game
autism

>>717681814
To be fair you do need to collect every oculus except one. But you can look them later when you have the compass.

>>717660004
absolutely this.

Bros I got a C6 Mavuika with 100/200 crit ratio. She can clear one of the bosses on Dire, but I'm straight fucked on the others. C6 old characters are too weak, C0 new characters aren't good enough. Shit's fucked if you wanna go for the max difficulty.
Fearless I can clear but it took a lot of resets for any bosses I didn't bring pay2win archon to.

the cactus faggot is literally just "did you pull Ineffa? no? fuckoff then".

>>717660004
Cheers, Venti-sama.

>>717682864
Yeah I hate stygian. Don't even care about those enlightenment dusts or weapon skins but the whole thing just turned the game p2w after all this time I praised it for allowing f2p to clear everything.

Can someone explain me the aesthetic of Genshin's tailoring? While some of the female clothing Genshin looks okay, most of the male's clothes look like it was AI generated.

>Didn't get a survey question regarding footsluts or masked edgelords
Lame...

>>717684384
>AI generated
Most male clothing in these kinds of games is super basic.

>>717684573
They asked me what kind of characters I wanted to see in the future and I had no idea what to say. I might be an NPC.

>>717684573
I said I want gothic lolita dresses, girls with boots, and to let Klee have a dad

>>717684737
I guess it's mainly because most dudes outfit in Genshin are literally just blazer/jacket with scarves+jewelry

>>717685101
>gothic loli
as long as they aren't as boring as fischl or as eye raping atrocious as Navia

>>717685236
All part of my plan for playable Sandrone.

>Kill every single Praetorian Golem in the game
>Only like 10 total purple mats (including upcrafting)
I hate everything about these fuckers.

Seems like my Nilou stocks are going to the moon soon.

>>717658907 (OP)
Wish I didn't drop this like for a year, I'm am at Fontaine, I hate the events are not permanent like in hsr

>>717682864
>the cactus faggot is literally just "did you pull Ineffa? no? fuckoff then".

What have we learned from the last 5 years of Genshin, dear Celestia?
That the biggest plight on a game is its own playerbase.

A game which avoided powercreep ended up with uber powercreep and predatory whale checks because the playerbase kept bitching and bitching that their new units aren't powerful enough and that they have nothing to show off their wasted funds on.
Same with the puzzles.
Same with exploration.
Same with the music.
Same with everything.

Dear Celestia, I now fully understand you. Please nuke humanity with some more nails, the fuckers absolutely deserve it.

>>717685672
>because the playerbase kept bitching and bitching that their new units aren't powerful enough and that they have nothing to show off their wasted funds on.
It's ecelebs. It's always been ecelebs bitching about their lifeline and siccing their dumb fanbase to stir up shit.

>>717685552
Agreed.

>>717685552
The area is permanent, only the event will go.
So you only need to do the quests and those minigames. All the chests and shit, you can just do once you finish Natlan.

>>717685748
>ecelebs
>not enough endgame!
>meanwhile world is like 20% explored

Dormi cara, Columbula

There's a separate challenge to go loot 80% of the Resort area which last 80 days.
Also he didn't even mention the newest event.
He's talking events in general.

love this doll

Is Ineffa good to roll? I kinda want her because Nod-Krai is coming in a month.

>>717686212
basically the equivalent of emilie or escoffier
roll if you like her or electrocharge
most other nod krai units will have a lunar gimmick probably

>>717686169
does sandrone like toblerone?

Do we even know yet how Nod-krai's regional mechanics are going to work? I presume they're going to do something like Natlan again with some sort of traversal or puzzle gimmicks that get activated by lunar reactions, and enemies that take more DMG from lunar-aligned attacks.

>>717686212
Apparently she is a needed unit for the 6.0 guy.

>>717686212
She's quite good right now as a sub-DPS with a decent shield.
And she doesn't even have her Artifact set yet.
You stack her Atk to 2000 and then get as much EM as possible.
Her actual normal damage isn't anything amazing, her real damage comes from her Talents, which gives her bot a bonus attack if there are Lunar-Charged storms active when it attacks. This does a % of her Atk.. and counts as Lunar-Charged, meaning all the Lunar damage bonuses from stacking EM on her applies, which gives it a huge multiplier.

They asked me what types of personality I prefer and I answered "unapologetically rude" for females. Will Alice spit on my face now?

But why did they name the Harbingers after the Commedia dell'arte.

I told them I want more evil characters and 5-star on-field lolis. You can thank me for saving Tsaritsa's design.

>>717687184
to laugh at us trying to find a deep reason
the comedy is us

>>717686212
Why don't you wait to get your Nod-Krai character first and THEN you decide if you want Ineffa or not?

Columbina is the Godness of the Crimson Moon

>>717687184
teyvat's a stage and the harbingers are its clowns.
The real answer is either because they thought the names sound cool or because teyvats fate is predetermined through the Heavenly Principles, like a theatre play. The Fatui know this and mock it by taking the roles of jesters.

>>717687184
It's silly.
>We are the region based on Russia
>We use Russian terms and names for our people and localities
>Are we going to call our personal elite group of powerful members after Russian terms and/or names?
>No, let's go with Italian names

inb4 the Tsaritsa is from Khaenri'ah
Abyss order and Harbringers team up

>>717687874
Most of the Harbs arent even from Snezhnaya to be honest

>>717687515
'cchino has crimson moon fire and her VFX look the same as Ronova, so probably not.
She's probably Aria.

>>717687074
They asked me the same thing and I wish I had that choice because mine were as bland as bland could be (adorably clueless, straightforward, docile, disciplined).

I just picked two and in Other I wrote "Bratty with actual flaws."

I hope whoever designed Senor Cactus gets a real cactus shoved up his ass.

>>717688268
Well I think she still is because Arlecchino love interest in dell'arte is Columbina and Arle is clearly using the powers of the Crimson moon

I'm surprised shitposters haven't turned the fact that Pierro used to be our sibling's roommate and lived together into a massive ntr issue. But then again they're retards that can't into story and lore unless Paimon repeats it 3 times over.

>>717687507
But Ineffa IS a first Nod-Krai character, dummy.

>>717688421
Mihoyo obviously pushes Aether as MC so Lumine and Dain already are the power couple of the game, if you were a chinkcel and wanted to seethe about imaginary ntr.

Here is a hot take
scaramouche's story is great but character's personality was a big fucking mistake
He's supposed to be a ~500 years old who lost trust in Humanity and seeks power to become a god an show his creater he was worthy
And we got a edgy teenager who acts like a fucking 14 years old

>>717688998
My homeland :)

>>717687874
Russian serfs being commanded by a whole bunch of foreign entities is pretty accurate

the patch is so fucking boring
the events are shit
I'm only playing this on autopilot to see Sneednaya and they delayed that for a fucking year

>>717688268
I think Arlecchino and Ei depict Ronova's features because they both have something to do with death.
>Ei shows the "eyes" on her statue and her shadow, which represent her ideal of eternity because death is eternal
>In Arlecchino's case, "ashes" of memory might remain even after her victim dies, and in rare cases can take shape once again like Clervie, going against death

>>717658907 (OP)
One of the best map of Genshin.
Too bad it's just an extension of Natlan and not a transition between two nations like the others summer events.

>>717662616
Main story and lore is shit.
Characters are only okay because they had the time to shine unlike Inazuma and Fontaine. Mavuika is the worst genshin character and her story is stupid.
Good exploration with good major world quests. The smaller WQ kinda suck.
OST is still good but weak compared to the rest of the game.
Best flagship events.
Overall I think they had no idea what to do with Natlan so they did whatever they wanted, it's really hit or miss.

Sometimes a really loathe how the fanbase is so full of mouth breathing mongoloids.

>>717689936
You only have to do the challenges though, the map is permanent

>>717688998
We also got another Czech NPC name, Libuše.

>Chasm triggered my nostalgia for Dungeon Siege Dwarven mines.
>Now the gopniks have robots that look a bit like the gobbot tanks further in the game (https://dungeonsiege.fandom.com/wiki/Blaster).
If only the game really took inspiration from there rather than by-the-numbers garbage fantasy like WoW.

Will Arlecchino show up in Nod Krai?

>>717689975
Which means that we were shafted from a truckload of usual yearly content. Apparently retards enjoy having to wait 3 months for half empty maps and having only 3.5 of them instead of the usual 4/5.

>>717689936
The GAA1 event was only 18 days. The map lasted for 42 days but it had zero story and it lacked all the minigames and the conchs

>>717689812
I can't wait for the Tsaritsa to look nothing like her, as she should.

>>717691329
They got the exact same VA for her and used up the Russian noble look for that harbinger that got vaporized by the Japanese.
I mean, fuck's sake, anon. They even pushed a motorbike through. There's no way she's not at least 70% Bronya.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmW9FHHaWkA&list=RDbmW9FHHaWkA&start_radio=1

We can have beach resort cancer. Pixel art bullshit. Motorbikes, subwoofers, DJ stands,...
Might as well have fun with it. I want my Chinese weeb waifu at full power.

>>717692219
Or better yet. Have Tsaritsa be 100% Bronya. Just straight up Honkai Bronya in the flesh with the next chapter of the story being how they try to contact Earth to fulfill her wish or something.
Same logic as above, we've already seen the outside universe, we're already getting Honkai-isms. What better way to explain the connection between Honkai and Abyss than with THE Honkai girl? It's either her or Asmoday (notKaslana).
Heck, Bronya and Kaslana could even get together, with Tsaritsa being the myserious new master of Asmoday.

Can someone explain me the massive tech/magic gulf between the first three regions and everything afterwards? It goes full Arcanum/WoW after Inazuma

>>717693197
Did you miss the Fontainian/Snezhnayan dead god energy harvesting factories in Inazuma? Or the sky seal qi formation adeptal stuff in Liyue?
Only Mondstadt doesn't really lean into magitech, probably because they have alchemy and Alice watching them over. And Inazuma for intentionally being locked down and backwards.

>>717693003
If they outright do honkshit garbage, I'm leaving.

>>717693197
It's an asian story thing. The longer it goes the more retarded it gets. I remember ninjas having surveillance cameras, headsets and TVs towards the end of Naruto.

>>717693412
Mond - simple people they dont care much
Lyiue - Taking Traditional to the next level
Inazuma - Ei pretty much banned everything to keep the country in the state of "Eternity"

>>717693412
Then explain Sumeru having a neuralink system but the country is a mix of back alley bangladesh and isis controlled Afghanistan?

Done. Don't care for more, get scammed without me.

>>717693672
>back alley bangladesh
It isn't? Sumeru City and Port Ormos are clean, urbanized and cultured. There are private palaces and gardens around. Gandharva is a village for forest rangers so it's in tune with its environment. Aaru is a caravan trade village and looks like it, it's just in the desert.

>>717684573
I got asked about m*le pants, thighhighs and various gay shit

>>717693940
>urbanized
>without neon lights and advert billboards
yeah right

>>717693940
>urbanized
They live in huts tho

>>717694123
Why would they have electricity and neon lights because they had Akasha, it doesn't make you jump the tech tree or something, it was a very specific application of a very specific magitech artifact (the dendro gnosis).
>>717694256
Sumeru City has houses.

>>717694451
>Why would they have electricity and neon lights because they had Akasha
Because the nations they are in constant contact with do have electricity?
These fuckers are studying everything and sending people out to write papers about everything there is outside their borders.
It really doesn't make sense for them not to have all the tech which isn't explicitly gated to an area like the matter/antimatter mojo in Fontaine.

Tsaritsa needs huge milkers. Better yet, reuse the Mirror Maiden model

>>717694451
Does Teyvat even have electricity? They always use weird power sources for machiens like dragon jizz or Chinese ancestor qi or something.

>>717695038
My favorite was industrialised jinn slavery

>>717695038
Fontaine does have an actual power plant albeit functioning with magic shit. Natlan is bullshit because even though they are the fire nation and have torches everywhere they still use electricity with no in lore explanation

>>717694972
Hanser won't dub any mature-mature characters. She only voices medium sized flatties and she's already voiced Tsaritsa in a trailer.

>>717695296
>she's already voiced Tsaritsa in a trailer
huh?

>>717694972
That's some real shit you just authored.

I think I finally burned out. One look at this should prompt me into doing exploration or some quests, yet I keep finding excuses to not do so. Despite the fact exploration is the main reason i got hooked up with this game in the first place

Haven't even started yet, also thanks to broken mainboard which has forced me off from PC for 4 days.

But I can already tell I won't enjoy it.

GAA2 was peak, the level design, the music and it had puzzles, PUZZLEs.

>>717694794
>>717694451
Aren't the Archons forcing their people to be backwards/retarded

>>717696509
I have like 400 of those points

>>717696667
>But I can already tell I won't enjoy it.
If it serves you as an indicator GAA2 > Simulanka > GAA2 > Natlan event >>>>>>>>>>>>>Bottleland.

At least story makes sense and music/aesthetics are quite nice.

>>717696993
*meant to say GAA1 after Simulanka

>>717695556
One of Arlecchino's trailers, IIRC.

>>717696875
>400 points
Looks like we are both wasting points when they get reset during 6.0

>>717697205
true

>>717662616
I liked it. The volcano interior was kinda bland to explore but it looked cool.

>>717662616
story wise - better than mond, liyue, inazuma
music wise - the worst
gameplay wise - the best, but powercreep went off the charts
characters wise - better than liyue, sumeru

If you didn't pull Mualani or Mavuika, how the fuck are you meant to ride the spiritway up the volcano? Manually climb?

>>717699460
there's always a saurian around when you need to use the zone gimmick

>>717699585
I'm 95% certain there's only the purple saurian in the volcano area

>>717690236
I wouldn't count on it to be honest, if she does show up I imagine it will only be as a brief cameo to show that many of the harbingers are somewhere in the region

>>717699460
Indwell the tatankasaurus right next to it

>>717699752
There's a single koholosaur indwell thing next to the spiritway.

GAA1 was the best, GAA2 was just a repeat filler.

has the english dub situation been fixed or are there still unvoiced lines?

Why did Aino put so much emphasis on Ineffa's butt?

>>717668735
I still wonder if I'm gonna regret skipping her

So Mare Jivari was part of Natlan, right? According to Venti, a lot of people from Mondstadt lost their lives here. Why Mondstadt in particular? Why were there so many Mondstadtians in Natlan at the time?

>>717701330
IIRC the Traveler's VAs are both back so the only missing voice right now is Dainsleif.

The Wanderers Troupe from Mondstadt fought in Natlan, an entire tribe from Natlan migrated to Mondstadt, and many from the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild travelled there and died

No. Raiden closed off her nation for a year, but the Archons are generally hands off. The reason shit's so lopsided is because all the smartest people in Teyvat are in Fontaine and Sumeru. While other nations do have their geniuses like Albedo and Xilonen, they don't have nearly enough manpower or funding to revolutionize their respective regions the same way Fontaine has. Also, Albedo's an alchemist, not an engineer. He doesn't make machines. He just does dumb shit like turn gay dragons into gay boys.

cutest character coming through

I have like 800 lol. I'll have hundreds of excess for the next year too.

How do you even get 0 like that? I thought just exploring a bit and doing events would put you in a huge surplus.

>>717703857
>I'll have hundreds of excess for the next year too
It resets every X.0 update.

>>717704070
I obviously know that anon. I have tons of quests left.

>>717702603
I mean most of the reason Fontaine is so advanced is because they had infinite energy thanks to Focalor's court drama machine. That and Furina encouraging research because she wanted to find a solution to the prophecy. In a sense, Furina was much more hands on than the other actual Archons. Natlan was too busy preparing for a battle that was semi annually to do any serious development work. The other nations sort of just hit their sweet spot and never saw a reason to develop past it. I mean Liyue does have the ability to construct flying fortresses so it's not like theiir tech is bad.

>>717670381
guess i gotta go spoil myself now, i got "100%" exploration of the map and this reminded me i never even saw the cactus boss or whatever your image shows.

>>717703857
Well idk, my exploration hasnt been very active this year, also im not doing archon quests since 5.6 and I know those give a lot too

>>717704806
>not doing the timed exploration at least
ngmi bricked account
good-bye my friend...

>>717705032
I didnt miss timed gems wdym

If even Noelle can clear Dire level Stygian Onslaught, why can't you?

>>717705358
I thought you needed 80% for those

>Mavuika, Citlali, Xilonen

>>717705856
because i don't have C2+ mavuika/citlali/xilonen

How do I bring myself to get all the TCG achievements? I can't stand that minigame. Is there a team where I just turn my brain off and it auto wins for me?

>>717706543
I'd like to know too but I've never gotten a response.

>>717706543
there might be better now since i made this way back when the TCG was still kinda new but i recall doing a freeze team with Xingqiu, Ayaka, and Chongyun. you get Xingqiu's burst up then switch to ayaka with as much dice left as possible as switching to her auto infuses her with cyro letting you instantly freeze anything she hits while doing decent enough damage, your opponent has to either switch off or be unable to do things against you likely losing moves they could have done.

>>717688998
how much fucking booze do these people need????!

I refuse to indulge in this mandatory support bullshit. I didn't roll for skirk or coffee, and I'm not rolling for this Nod Krai garbage. I'll get Durin and Varka and then be happy until Russia.

>>717707747
>I'll get Durin
lol fag

>>717660004
>papilla after snorting the hundred lines of coke hoyo gave it to fuck with everyone in stygian

>>717707747
I didn't mind Skirk since her burst playstyle can make her a support in future cryo teams alongside Furina and Escoffier.
I don't like the electro memes though, I doubt they'll age that well.

>>717708928
you can build Skirk for normal attacks if you run her on MH artifacts, especially good if you have a couple of her cons

>>717701004
Simulanka was the best summer event, by far.

>>717710361
nope

>>717710589
Look at how vulnerable Barbara is. Rape.

>>717709431
Skirk has two builds, burst or normal spam.

>>717711457
i'm just glad she is good enough to clear fearless SO without Escoffier since i got Dehya'd

>>717711848
I wouldn't have even rolled. Coffee carries that team pretty hard.

>>717712330
Coffee, Furina, (third Support of choice) isn't called Wheelchair for nothing.

>>717712330
to be fair the game apologized for me and i got three copies of skirk in less than 100 pulls.

>Decide to go try Stygian Onslaught
>Not bad at all, 40 seconds playing sub-optimally, Hard is practically free, so the next difficulty should be manageable
>With the exact same team (and because it uses the special ability at the very start, unlike in Hard), and playing near-perfectly, I can only get it to about 60% in 2 minutes
>That's around 75x as much HP
Jesus Christ. People weren't kidding when they said this shit was P2W.

>>717705856
what did i miss?

>>717714845
Can't beat the 5th difficulty without meta 5 stars with cons. And the fact that there's a hidden 6th difficulty is just crazy. The mode was made just so whales can feel reassured that their money wasn't "wasted".

>>717714845
Fearless and Dire both jump just as much, i can do fearless but it is a massive struggle and i don't even attempt dire because fuck that.

I got this and I am extremely pleased with it

>>717714845
>>717715569
You don't need constellations to do fearless but 5 star weapons can really help. I don't think they're needed if you have enough 5 star meta teams set up though.
A big aspect about it is your rotation and artifacts.

>>717715615
Congrats on being one of only 4 Kinich enjoyers.

>>717714845
This season's SO is an extremely reductive shield-breaking challenge in a way that feels like genuine character shilling. I know it's still early days but the previous SO season felt much more solvable with various team comps.

>>717717982
depends on your team comps, i felt last time was 10,000% worse than this time and took significantly less attempts to clear.

>>717717982
This one was way easier for me.

I thought the papila was going to be like 50x harder but the time limit was super long.

>>717716031
I don't have him lol. Huge ajaw jp va fan though. I did rool and will again

>>717720240
poser

Guys, I am coming back after stopping playing at Sumeru. What did i miss?

>>717714845
Dire is a Constellation and Akasha Top 3% Check

>Last "Difficulty" is a 2000-7000 € Money Spent Check for a reward that expires.

I mean, we live in a world where you buy a brand new car and it immediately loses value as soon as you leave the dealership

>>717721425
too much

>>717721425
>more FOMO shit like finish this area in this patch to get extra primos
>powercreept
>more coom designed characters (after fontaine which is pretty conservative)
>new endgames
I forgot when the theater came out but there's 3 endgame modes now. I play on and off myself.
I personally enjoyed Fontaine and I keep rolling for coombait like Varesa (no regrets, I use hr everywhere) but they barely release males some people might not like and another retarded decision like killing Signora off.
