Thoughts on pic rel? Are you rolling? Hoping for or expecting any changes during the beta?

>>1742492
Yes
I only roll for lore significant characters now.

>>1742496

Uh...

>>1742503
>student of a sinner and master of a harbinger
yes

>>1742492
Cryo freeze DPS
Needs Escoffier and Shenhe
Hard pass.

Ouch!

that went well

What vicious bitch. this quest is fucking great, a good reminder fontaine is the best at story telling, its almost as if they had an entire different team for this region

>>1742492
She looks way better than before. In pic related she looks like a dumb squished hebe. Since she is kinda sex and I already got scoffie I will probably roll, unless her personality sucks or she plays like shit.

>>1742492
Curious to see what they do with her, now that she'll be more present and not just mostly off-screen lore.
But I'm not rolling, gonna go back to primo-hoarding mode for a bit.
Saving for Nod-Krai/Snez potatoes, or possibly 'bina.

>>1742597
'bina is swiping territory.

I've got 600 rolls saved

>>1742492
I will roll for weapon in chronicle which will probably leave me 200 wishes, and I will spend them all on her
I want her weapon but I am too poor to risk a weapon only she can reasonably use

>>1742598
Why, do leaks say her cons are gonna be "mandatory?"
Because I don't believe anything this early.
And I don't really care about that anyway.

>coffee jump scare at 24 pity
Hell yeah lets fucking COOK

>>1742626
No, I'm saying she's so sex that she's worth swiping for if you don't have enough saved.

>>1742678
Aha. Fair.
But I'm still probably gonna stick to my freebies.

>>1742492
Absolute sex. Will get C2R1.

i dont know why i pulled for the stupid chef bitch, should have saved my f2p currency i rarely play anymore

>>1742585
Even if I also prefer her newer model I feel like I'm one of the few people who ultimately didn't mind the previous one
I thought the bobblehead-like look was cute

>>1742585
>she looks like a dumb squished hebe
She just had a fat head. I want every character model to get a revamp regarding proportions from teens to adults

>>1742492
I honestly don't know, she doesn't look bad and I don't doubt she'll be a good DPS but she doesn't bring anything really new to the table and we're only a few months away from the next nation. Natlan has set a precedent, it's true that there's no real need for Nightsoul units but having them is a QoL and I doubt Nod-Krai won't have similar stuff. I'll probably try to get her but if after about fifty I don't get anything or go off-banner I'll give up, the situation would be different if Hoyo changed the system like they did with HSR, just to avoid risking yet another Qiqi.

>>1742389 (OP)
Why is Genshin MC such a cuck?

Sad. I wanted to make it go up forever.

Don't trust anything a leaker says unless the character is on the beta.

>>1742389 (OP)
;P

Oh no!!

>>1742492
>>1742492
Sex.
Will roll.
Hopefully some buffs, mainly a big buff for teams without Escoffier (could be done by raising her skill multipliers but reducing the buffs from her passive so that it doesn’t also result in a major buff for Escoffier). I have Escoffier and the rest of her team so it’s not a matter of not having her best partner, but it’ll be nice for her to not be 100% glued to Escoffier so that she doesn’t feel bad to play in game modes like IT.

>>1742492
Skip, nothing about her catches my eye. Maybe I'm biased cuz she's connected to that Ed sheeran faggot but I have 0 interest in her for now, I'm dumping every gem I have for lingerie ratatouille

>>1743501
Considering Snezhnaya is the real cryo region I'm not really sure what to expect from Nod-Krai in regards to elements
I don't expect them to promote cryo-oriented teams for two and a half years so I'm sure that one or two patches into 6.X they'll suddenly pivot away from it

>>1742492
i was saving my guarantee for her but i when i saw her passive and the big numbers it has in a cryo/hydro team, i bucked and got Escoffier.
i hope that i'll be able to luckshit her but i doubt it.

>>1743501
>year of the nation of pyro
>one pyro character released

>>1743630
What I wonder is who will be the Nod-Krai archon character since I don't think they will release the cryo archon in the next version. I have the feeling that Hoyo decided to make the story longer, Nod-Krai wasn't in the Travail video so either it will be a huge interlude or they changed their initial plans due to the success of the game.

>>1743763
Varka

>>1743763
Probably a leader figure from one of the local groups like the frostmoon scions or lightkeepers

>>1743763
Nod Krai's central leader will be a mysterious woman whose face we never see and voice we never hear until halfway through the AQ when it's revealed she's resurrected Signora with dindu memory holes. Trust the plan.

>>1743897
Abyss corrupted Signora is more likely than that

Only took me over a year but I finally got a single copy of this ugly fucking boxcutter

Anyone else a violetgrass main?

All sorts of crazy shit is gonna happen in 6.x and the Captain will become a playable character. Just trust me.

>>1744136
If the cow can be dummy thicc then captain and la signora will make a comeback

>>1744136
yeah right after signora is resurrected as a loli and baizhu leads us to the chasm
varka is visionless and will be the archon equivalent for physical characters

>>1742404
I've come to like the funny little saurs in Natlan, but I hope Nord Kai and Snezhnaya will give us something that rivals the Melusines of Fontaine

>go outside of Natlan
>can no longer do nightsoul transmission
I hate it. It should have been a gameplay update to the base game. Just let us freely switch characters and use skill while airborne/climbing/swimming as long as it's outside of combat.

>>1744396
How else will they sell Snezhnaya characters, silly

>>1744396
I've legitimately been thinking about that ever since Natlan released. Sure, gacha characters typically get outclassed and powercrept over time, but it feels different when they have entire gameplay mechanics that just don't work anymore. It's also different from the underwater swimming in Fontaine, since that's not tied to specific characters. On the other hand there was always a disclaimer that the gimmicks only work in Natlan, so I can't even be mad. But it's still such a bizarre way to develop a game, and I'm feeling like my entire Natlan roster will just go on a shelf once Natlan ends. Also very curious if Snez will again put out characters that do basically the same thing, but this time in that region, that would be so ridiculous if they just keep selling the same gameplay abilities every year, but I also can't imagine them just adding some gadgets for free that let you do it from the get-go

Although I did also feel like it kinda jumped the shark once I had Chasca and Mavuika, since you could just keep flying forever. It's fun in the same way it's fun to find some bug that breaks a game, but it also feels very silly when you can legitimately just fly across the whole map and go as high up as you want, for example I flew up to the hidden sky fortress before I even got to that part in the quest. Eventually you reach a height limit where the game tells you that you can't use the transmission anymore, so they were aware that you can do that stuff but just didn't bother balancing it. Also makes this janky chink game feel very haphazardly glued together lol

>>1744396
Nightsoul was a mistake and should never have been in the game to begin with.
Can't wait for Nod-Krai to have an even more stupid gimmick that only works there, and Snez to have some retarded delusion dual element nonsense

>>1744507
>retarded delusion dual element nonsense
And it will be just Fontaine's health drain gimmick. Enjoy.

>>1744507
>>1744672
The curse of two button combat, they can't add anything interesting but they need to keep adding new characters, so the only thing they can come up with is to add new tedious ways for numbers to go up and down, with three page skill descriptions for what kind of convoluted buff you're triggering when you press E

>>1744691
>Press E
>Hold E
>Pressing E causes random bar to go up
>Holding E causes thing to spawn
>Spawning thing while bar is empty causes bar to go up and thing B to spawn
>Spawning thing when bar is full causes Thing A to spawn and consume Thing B
>Pressing Q while the bar is empty are spawned will spawn Thing C which will transform into Thing B when the bar fills
>Pressing Q while the bar is full will consume all Thing Bs and transform them into Thing A and also give your normal attacks an additional 70% crit damage if it is nighttime until the bar is empty
>Passive that turns Superconduct into a massive AoE explosion if you have an electro shield and 2/2 Cryo/Electro split party

>>1742492
100% rolling for at least C0R1
Can't wait for destroy shit with her, Escoffier and Shenhe

I hope Skirk never stops bullying the Tartargly

>>1744498
>I'm feeling like my entire Natlan roster will just go on a shelf once Natlan ends
I never ever understood the disappointment with Nightsoul characters' mechanics not working outside of Natlan. Chasca and Xilonen btfo just about every other character in the game even outside of Natlan. All the others, at baseline, have better movement capabilities than standard characters. And why would you shelf them? Xilonen is one of the strongest supports in the game. Mavuika is the strongest damage dealer in the game. Everyone else except Kachina and Ifa are varying degrees of strong. What exactly is your criteria for units you want to play with?

>>1744821
>What exactly is your criteria for units you want to play with?
Fun movement or some other neat ability, then design/if I generally like them, I don't really care about strength since I barely touch abyss or the other thing. For example, I got Albedo back in the day because the flower elevator was fun, then later I got Chiori to replace Albedo just because I like her design more and the character switch feels smoother. I also pulled C1 Xiao for the extra air dash and same for Xianyun for the extra jumps. She's who I mainly use outside Natlan. My main beef with the nightsoul thing is that the switch doesn't work, it just feels so much nicer when you can switch in the air and without doing a little jog first. The nightsoul stamina is a bit too OP to be honest, but the switch should just exist in the game by default

>>1744498
>I'm feeling like my entire Natlan roster will just go on a shelf once Natlan ends
as someone who recently did some exploring in Fontaine, Liyue and Inazuma, using Mavuika and Xilonen was so much better than using the other characters.
so i disagree that they'd be shelved after Natlan is over.
but if you meant that future regions will have their own nightsoul mechanic then i would still disagree.

>>1744507
>Nightsoul was a mistake and should never have been in the game to begin with
Nah, Nightsoul itself for the most part is just a "mode change" (Cheld, Raiden etc) with gaming RGB tacked on. Press button to deal bigger damage or give bigger buff, but now with gaming RGB and maybe yugioh text.

>>1744156

>>1745033
Durin's resurrection has been teased since Dragonspine released, newcutie.
Signora and Chingchong are dead as fuck

>>1745114
Durin got fucked over like Scaramouche in the sense that you have to fuck off to youtube to get the full extent of their plot if you missed the events like me.

>>1745121
Yeah, it's baffling that they don't include a way to review old event lore (or at least give everyone a summary page in the archive or something)

Collei should be the one to deal the coup de grâce on a defeated Dottore.
In the presence of a crushed Scaramouche who got too cocky and thought he could take Dottore by himself.

>>1744960
>the villain still getting away scot free
the villain dies though?

>>1745242
And never gets close to what they aimed to do.
Especially since the secret of the ancient past is actually now very common and easily obtainable.
It no longer had anything like the monetary value it once had - completely unlike the vase she smashed.
She sold her soul for a dream and got nothing for it, and had it rubbed in her face to boot.

Hoyo said they'd spend Nod-Krai wrapping up old storylines and stuff but I just can't get excited or take that statement seriously when I know that them 'wrapping things up' will involve 99% new characters with only brief single scene cameos by the existing ~100 characters
In a similar fashion I expect most of the questions that will be answered to just be questions they essentially made up during the 6.0 or 6.1 quests specifically so they could answer them two patches later

>>1745357
Just out of curiosity what questions do you personally want answered? From my point of view the factions teased seem to be related to the main plot points like adventures guild, abyss (wild hunt), angels etc

>>1745357
To be fair 90% of the characters in the game are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

A tale of desperation, tragedy and wrath.

>>1744507
I have yet to see anyone that hates on nightsoul and also knows how to play the game.

>>1745357
>Hoyo said they'd spend Nod-Krai wrapping up old storylines and stuff but I just can't get excited or take that statement seriously when I know that them 'wrapping things up' will involve 99% new characters with only brief single scene cameos by the existing ~100 characters
We just had a Archon Quest where it was 99% old characters, except that the other old characters (like old Durin, or Gold) either didn't show up or say anything, or they answered absolutely nothing new (Alice, Barbeloth, Venti).
I don't care if it's 50/50 or 99/1 either on the old or the new, just make it compelling.

>>1744821
There is no real reason to dislike Natlan, people are just being very infantile about it. All arguments against natlan basically boil down to
>muh bike
>muh retcons from very vague notes in the OW
>muh only 1 pyro char
>muh i can't clear abyss because it wants me to pull

>>1745408
only 1 pyro in the land of pyro is kinda gay tbqhwyf

>>1745408
How dare people complain about 2 downtime patches between maps in an open world exploration game when the game managed to put out a new one every second patch for five years

I like outside and inside the volcano, but the Chasm is still the number 1 separate map when it's time to explore.
Not as much LORE as Enkanomiya or Volcano, not as colorful and magical as Sea of Bygone Eras, but holy shit was it packed with treasure and secrets and all kinds of things to do and see and discover.
I wonder if we'll meet Anton in Nod-Krai again.

>>1745419
For me it's Remuria > Chasm > Enka > Volcano

>>1745394
My latest shartsterpiece.

>>1745419
The Chasm is less flashy than the other one-off maps but I still think it looks the best overall. The level design balances the claustrophobic darkness with the fantasy visuals and distinct setpieces really well.

>>1745419
>>1745437
Chasm also remains my #1 map despite not necessarily being as impressive when it comes to visual spectacle. I have very fond memories of continuously jumping down the shafts only to find the cave areas that lead even further down where you then find another shaft that leads even further down where you find another cave etc etc
On top of that I also think it had the most mysterious standalone world quests (come to think of it I'm not even sure if Remuria or the Volcano had any) with everything ranging from the trapped Fatui soldiers, the weird guy eating mushrooms, the Khaenri'ah guards, the spooky haunted doll belonging to one of the miner's daughter and so on
God that place was amazing

>>1745439
Chasm was the only one with actual NPCs outside of the "main" questline.

>>1745419
>>1745437
>>1745439
The Chasm is still the best. It has some of the best music and atmosphere in the game, and distinctly feels like they built a place that people lived in first, then put the gameplay stuff around it. Enkanomiya was still ok in that regard. But the Sea of Bygone Eras doesn't even have people in it, so it felt like you were just running around a theme park with aquatic creatures and statue guys collecting chests for no particular reason.

>>1745431
Other than the 1 atk hit, I see no issue there

true
>This mid piece is not an upgrade for a heavily invested geo chad like me
Suffering from success I see. I wish i had a sands like that tho

>>1745491
people just dont remember the actual map release schedule and the bi-annual liyue expansion from 4.x is still in people's recent memory. 2.x and 4.x were the only patch cycles to have 5 permanent map expansions. 1.x only had 1 map expansion, and 3.x only had 4 maps, same as natlan will. the only thing that actually changed is the time between maps being longer to give people more time to explore, which they probably changed due to feedback, because i highly doubt they did it simply out of spite for the playerbase.

>>1745512
Natlan not having a temporary summer event is cringe though

>>1745513
it'll probably have a summer event because they will probably drop new skins, just not a temporary map, or maybe they will just recycle GAA again, something that doesn't take as much work.

Remuria didn't wow me much because I was tired of being underwater by that point. I wish more of it was exploring ruins in ordinary gameplay in magic air pockets or something.

>>1745524
I'll take swimming underwater over saurian indwelling any day of the week desu

>>1745543
I don't have the bare minimum characters to start Visionary Theater, and I need to level up and talent up multiple ones to hopefully crush Hard.

This Abyss is easy as hell. Post em.

>>1745491
>>1745512
Excluding 1.X is fair since it was the game's first tumultuous year where they were still figuring things out; it didn't even have 8 subpatches like every single subsequent region did
But from 2.0 through 5.0 they consistently managed to always alternate between a map release and an empty patch with only one single exception in Sumeru, and that was after they already had put out the entirety of the jungle and the first desert which probably is and will be the largest non game launch expansion the game will undergo. At the time it was fair for them to take another breather, but now the 5.X release schedule has picked up a similar pace where we go two downtime patches between new areas, and it currently seems like Nod-Krai will follow suit.
You cannot try to sweep this under the rug by simply pretending it was the norm five years ago.

>>1745524
The castle part at the start was really cool and I really wish it had been a bit longer. I especially liked how vertical they made the area feel since despite being crammed into a series of small corridors you had to ascend staircases and multiple levels where you always could look down or even jump over the railing to really give you a sense of height
I thought it was a nice setpiece but I can't really blame people for being worn out by the underwater part at that point

I started the game in 5.0 and Remuria was the very first place in Fontaine I went to
Never had a chance to be tired of being underwater

>>1746860
Half of Citlali's lines having horrible sibilance issues during the AQ was so jarring
Anyways I heard the male MC in HSR got recast recently so maybe Genshin will start getting hit with them too

>>1746860
I don't understand how Genshin has all these issues when ZZZ EN is just fine

>>1746950
i really think its just down to which studio is doing the recording. genshin is currently split between formosa with the old VAs and side global with the new VAs, and zzz is managed entirely by sound cadence.

>>1746966
When will all the FAG ASTRA strike studio VAs get fired already

>>1747017
Hopefully miHoYo sends them an ultimatum by the end of v5. I also wish the Paimon retard would get a recast.

>>1747021
Hopefully they put salt on that disabled cunt, yes she is disabled which is her excuse for supporting the strike but still doing voice work, by casting somebody that sounds exactly like her.

>>1747017
Unironically never, the Genshin team is for some obscure reason to proud or afraid to replace anyone outside of niche cases like Kinich who had a total of like fifty lines
HSR and ZZZ have been (rightfully) replacing the absent VAs almost immediately because the teams responsible for those games likely value the experience of the players more than the cost of having someone new re-dub a handful of old lines

Paimon is never going to be replaced as long as the loonie voicing her actually shows up in the booth to record lines whenever needed
Even if she's batshit insane her colleagues could learn a lot from her

This event needs to have 20 times the amount of deployed units on the field.
I want my enormous battles, every meter covered in blood and ichor and gears and slime

>>1747021
>Paimon retard would get a recast
That would be awesome. In ZZZ is switch to EN for when I do story bits, while JP is for when i grind or do endgame stuff. I want to do the same in Genshin but I end up only using JP and it is mostly because of how bad Paimon sounds in EN and Cute Tao & Varesa have the cutest voices in JP too

Why won't Hoyo give the people what they want and release the original version of Theatre Mechanicus again?

I demand 64 player team death match in the Stadium Map.

Should the Cryo Archon be a healer as bitter irony for all the pain and suffering her morons except maybe Capitano caused

Tsaritsa should be a superconduct support

Tsaritsa should be the one to kill the Heavenly Principles but Unknown God kills her in return and everything falls apart in time for the Khaenri'ah chapter

>>1747421

She will be Durin's most delicious meal

What could they possibly do to make physical viable other than release yet another niche support that increases (white) numbers by some huge percentage?

>>1747552
a niche enemy that makes colored numbers smaller so your best option is to go with the white numbers

>>1747552
remove the current normal attack speed cap on a system level
make physical damage react with other elements that buffs the onfield character that lasts long but with a longer than average ICD.
cryo+phys = crit
pyro+phys = atk
electro+phys=energy
hydro+phys= hp% based damage bonus
dendro+phys=EM
This should also happen to Geo sans Dendro.
Or just give up and add a phys support with the biggest fuck you multiplier buffs

These two have the exact same flying capabilities, distance and all, with the only difference being that Wanderer has a 2 seconds shorter cooldown.

THE AI IN THIS EVENT IS PISSING ME OFF STOP RUNNING DIRECTLY INTO MINES YOU RETARDS

>>1747644
Ifa has better control

>>1747543
Xinyan.

>>1747666
Which one? I would say Wanderer seems less wobbly, but it's mostly a visual thing only.

90 wishes for Chronicle Weapon.
Mistsplitter (or Haran) needs to come home to me. My only 5 star weapons are Wolf Fang, Lost Prayer, and Skyward Pride.

>>1747722
>weapons aren't aligned with their respective characters
MY AUTISMMMMMMMMMMMM

I really enjoy the management events, wish we had more of those
>>1747722
Damn I need the mistspliter for Kek my wife but guy fieri is eating every primogem I have

Is there a list of how many primo you can get from story, world, and hangout quests. I want to know how much I got banked from not doing most of the side content starting from the Enkonomiya patch.

>>1747736
I wouldn't be super happy if I got Freedom Sworn, but the attack buff would be useful for my Skirk team since I do not have either Furina or Yelan.

>>1747722
I need Yoimiya!

>>1747666
I thought this at first too but Wanderer's control midair is so much more precise, he can't do Ifa and Chasuka can't. His flying also look better imo, Ifa looks lame and Chasca while badass it looks awkward from behind while dashing

>>1747722
I need either redhorn or mist as well. Inazuma has so many good weapons tho, I think the only one that would bother me is Kagura but I hear it is good on Varesa

>>1747644
>distance and all

>>1747795
Sad that Wanderer and Albedo both got fully replaced

>>1747740

lmao

The compass picking up mora chests is quite useful, I need every last bit of money to bring my characters up to scratch for next month's IT

>>1747926
Same, I've been combing through past areas since the update and I'm pretty sure that I've picked up somewhere between 500K and 1M mora just from random rock piles I had missed

>>1747926
I imagine you are also doing artifact routes to convert to mora and elite routes yes?

>>1747926
I haven't needed money in like 3 years

I should use these one day

>>1747930
I do elite routes and artifact routes every single day, but I need the artifact EXP because I need to keep rolling the dice on the stats after all the domains and strongboxes
Teapot currency is currently being used to build gift sets for the gems and all the other rewards

>>1747944
Do you have a link to a good elite route/map that is updated?

>>1747948
Not really. I guess you could search youtube for recommendations, I usually start with Tsurumi Island and then head to the Sumeru desert and finish on Elynas with the virus cells.
I would love to kill nothing but Primal Constructs, but not enough of them close enough to the teleports

>>1747944
Oh, based fellow. Have you updated your artifact routes? I have seen people include natan now, but I'm too lazy to do it myself for now.
For elites, I only kill a very specific bunch that only net me 10k mora a day, but its very fast and I can't spare as much time as i used to.

>>1747736
>Damn I need the mistspliter for Kek my wife
If you use the Dong, Chiori's sword is actually better than Mistsplitter according to this spreadsheet. I use Xilonen for Keka now, shit's cash.

>>1748029
The Natlan routes are really nice if you have Natlan characters.
The Natlan locations on the routes I made have x5,x14,x8,x8,x7 spots and the day two route has x4,x7,x15,x8 spots. All but one location are artifact only spots which is nice. There's also some extra spots you can collect with Citlali/Ororon after a full route that add around an extra 10k worth of exp (or mora) every 24hrs.

>>1748067
Is that c6 Ifa or sth? i'm not a fan of needing phlogiston thats the thing, and I have to verify those spots also drop mora since that's what I aim for. Nice showcasee btw

>>1748077
No, that's c0 Ifa using the tribe mechanics in that area (Chasca is a little better at it of course). Those spots only drop arti fodder. I think all Natlan spots are fodder only. Someone is working on an optimized 'mora containing'-only route that I'm waiting on to see how long it is. My current 120+ spot routes are around 10 and 12 minutes, so if the mora one is too long I'll just stick with what I got.

>>1748080
Someone? Like some youtuber? I don't know how big of a deal are these routes desu

>>1748086
Yeah a random youtuber I found when looking for a video of the new Natlan spots.

I am going to get five stars in this event.
FIVE
STARS

>>1747807
Thanks anon, its both a lot more than I thought, but a lot less than I believed for the amount of effort I have to put in.

>>1748395
will never forgive those cowards at mihoyo for not making siggy a real melusine

I wonder if Skirk will be getting brand new gift sets or if hers are shared with the rest of the Fontaine cast.
Also I hope new playable Abyss characters can inflict Corrosion on enemies (and also one of them has a talent where damage over time is greatly increased by more statuses on enemies)

>>1748111
I keep skipping and then like a week or two after their banner goes down I'm like damn I wish I could use xianyun make kujou sara fly like a tengu

>>1748417
Don't hold your breath

>>1748417
>gift sets
I frequently forget these even exist

Would Ifa do something besides using Vv on a Varesa, Iansan Xilonen/Mavuika team?

This is one of those really good quests

>>1748505
which one is that
the volcano?

>>1748509
Looks like the quest with Mamere and Jakob in Elynas

>>1748509
Ancient Colors

>>1748515
>>1748516
oh yeah, I can see it now
can't believe it's been like a year and a half since I did it
where does the time go

>>1748505
fontaine's world quests were absolute kino.

I hope we get to see Scylla and Caterpillar again, even in a event

>>1748539
Caterpillar is just a mindless churl now

I don't get what I'm supposed to do with this thing

>>1748548
you hit the gray one with one of the rhino ass mfers and then pull the lever when the chest is over it

>>1748549
thanks
I forgot you could interact with them when they were grey
thought I had to do something to make the grey guy glowy

Well got Escofee at 80 pity winning the 5050
Idk what to do with her but DAMN that lingerie

>>1748411
Nah she is fine as is

>>1748587
huge downgrade to the real melusussy

>>1748489
Is that team to farm friendship or something? I use this
Regardless, Varesa, Iansan and Mav should be able to handle about anything

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER
I pick Pahsiv but she isn't there for some reason

>>1748602
Nah just wanted to use him, he was pretty cool this event

>>1748603
>missing pahsiv
>missing talochard

>>1748615
I gotta do her quest one of these days

Neuvi-chan?

I demand a free selected 5* weapon along with a free 5* standard character at anniversary

Hey lads, divegrass anon here, would you be interested in having a player representing this thread in our 4cc team?
>if you don't know what i'm talking about https://pastebin.com/nr9ujDMN
tldr: it's a cpu vs cpu football cup with teams representing the boards, here is an example how a match looks like: https://implying.fun/video/spring24/2024-05-05/?t=2:21:00.0
Right now we're taking suggestions for players/music and deciding it all in a roster poll next friday so feel free to suggest anything that might represent this thread or have a funny in-game name, for things that affect the team as a whole, you can suggest in >>1748272

>>1748716
i would just be happy with a skin for the traveler.
zenless set the bar really high for the genshin anniversary.

>>1748716
I could do with only weapon even, i just want a LP for my cow

Wow,, there's a new food recipe in Inazuma. Idk when it was added, but probably few patches back at most. It's been a while since I ran out of ingredients, so I didn't visit food shops.

>>1747552
That's the only option that is easy to balance, that everyone will slurp up and will naturally fall off over time so that you'll buy the next character.
Hey it worked for Eula, they can just do it again.

>>1748853
>Bathhouse
Probably added with Mizuki

>>1748946
Ah, maybe. I haven't gone on a shopping spree since January I think.

>>1748603
Pahsiv's not a melusine so why would they be there?
>>1748615
Now this is inexcusable.

>>1748086
The mora route was finally uploaded. It gave them an extra 22k mora, but it took around 16 minutes (23 after extras), a lot of fake spot dodging, and much more involved/confusing paths. It would probably take me around 30 minutes if I tried it after memorizing everything. I'll think about giving it a try for fun, but will probably just stick with my usual speedy routes for now.

>>1748985
I don't know what you are talking about, she looks like a Melusine to me dude.
>>1749012
What's funny is that yesterday I was watching their video that shows all spots with double drops and trying to make my own route. I'll probably still do it given how I can't stand having decoys on my way

>>1749021
I even found a goddamned chest while checking the new spots

>eternity is absolutely whatever feels right at any given time ok Ei?
I know that the gods can't break their commitments (contracts, freedom, wisdom, etc etc) but lol

>>1749034
I really liked the twin gods different takes on enternity. Inazuma had so much potential and they fucked it pretty bad though still having some wonderful moments

>>1749034
In 3 days I will R5 my mommy's weeapon ToT

I have decided that I will destroy the Raiden Shogun puppet in her realm of thought before rolling on the Chronicle Wishes for the weapons.
For Skirk I will smash Alice's petty game and then wish there.

How long is this waltz thing? I already did a quest for like 30 minutes and I still can't do the actual thing

>>1749103
Or can I start the management thing already? Now I'm in some black and white sneaking sequence, I just wanted to do the event

>>1749109
first time playing genshin?

>>1749118
I don't think it's taken this long before, even when its one of these quests where they shoehorn in fifteen random people. Usually you can start doing it after the first part of the quest. This shit is like a humiliation ritual, I'm just going back and forth

If Hoyo wants to get really adventurous, then Archon Quest World War 5 (after Snezhnaya) will have global story changes and alternate towns/hideouts after all the main cities get wrecked.
Although shoving the survivors of seven towns into Ochkanatlan is gonna be super crowded, it's crazy how populated Natlan is compared to every other nation.

Wait do I really need to do this entire quest before I can start the event? I just finished part two and I still can't do shit. I started drinking to cope

>>1749132
no you just have to go to the venue and talk to navia.

>>1749133
Sick, that would have been nice to know an hour ago

>>1749136
the game literally tells you

>>1749124
Alternating cities is a good idea but I honestly doubt they will even think of that

Surely Dornman Port will be added this year

>>1749150
Wait did it, I didn't see any marker or anything in the menu. If it was during the cutscenes, I wasn't even looking at the screen when they were talking

>>1749155
right after the first interaction with lepine pauline when navia shows up she tells you to come speak to her about the venue, and the game gives you a separate quest pointing to her that isnt the main quest for the event.

>>1749154
>natlan year
>delivering anything
We’re only getting made jivari and not even a summer map lol

>>1749157

>>1749167
Yeah, I'm too busy talking to my wife.

>>1749198

>>1749210
Lol. Getting the cow was the right decision. She's adorable~

>>1749103
Whole thing with story and gameplay took me about 7hs

People use Freedom-sword on XIlonen? Is it better than Flute? Don't mind the artifacts, they are trash and not leveled up, I'm currently farming them.

>>1749255
what website is that

>>1749265
That's the in-game character builder menu.

>>1749266
what the heck
when did they add that

>>1749267
4.5, so march of last year

>>1748603
Cosanzeana
Idk I liked her and it suck with me, I'd have children with her

>>1748603
My favorite isn’t there either. It’s sedene. She’s funny and I love her VA

>>1749307
sedene is on there, literally the first one with an s name.

>Mavuika is in 5.7 TCG
I will be very shocked if we are allowed to completely defeat her and make her sheepishly admit her loss instead of "OMG next time I'll go all out"

people actually play the tcg?

>>1749332
Every once in a while I get addicted to it for a three or four day period and then don't touch it again for months

>>1749315
I love Koko. My fishe girl is the most beautiful character in Genshin.

>>1749348
i dont have her because i started playing in 4.0 and just missed her, but i'll finally get her in a few days.

>>1749255
While the page does draw from what other players use it generally speaking also only shows the weapons in your possession
I guess a lot of people just donated freedom sworn to her because it's what they had on Kazuha?

>>1749431
>Freedom-Sworn: This option is competitive with Peak Patrol Song if the team can utilize both of its buffs. To proc it consistently, you either need to burst every rotation, or add a delay between the initial skill hit and normal attacking. It is not needed to level this weapon for Xilonen.
It seems it is actually good on her, given you don't need fav support on the team

>>1749316
Lol

>>1749431
Also craftables, even if you haven't actually made them yet.
Realized I could make a HP spear for Chev thanks to that.

There were some NPCs and a hidden chest near Tower of Ipsissimus. Is it impossible to get that chest now that the tower is underwater?

>>1749518
There's no missable chests, the chest is likely underwater.

>>1747944
>>1747926
I've been alternating between spending 40 resin on exp and mora leylines daily since my Inazuma days and have never ran out of resources this way. Currently sitting at over 110 million mora with almost all of my characters leveled to 90 and built

Imagine the possibilities :^)

>>1749523
Ok, thanks.

>>1749316
Keep seething

>>1749571
Urville is such a freak I wish we would get more of him and Nadia but what are the chances..

>>1749571
Don't hide the UID... we're your friends!

>>1748615
Talotard

>>1749103
>>1749109
You can start the even almost right away, I didn't even finish the first part of the story until way after I finished the management event

It is time.

Oh well i put together my new routes with more mora spots, taking out tedium like decoy dodging etc but they are very intricate and have no idea how long they take. one spot in route B pretty much requires Mav C1 unless you wanna swim and I can't play Varesa since both routes pretty much require Mav at some point, sigh

Norfair is gonna rekt this anyways since bankers and shit.

>>1749810
Can you show the spots that require Mav? Just curious.

I wish I could send more characters on expedition and there were artifact options for them to collect the bottles

I got so many of these, don't even know what to do with them

>>1749835
Give them to me :^)

>>1749838
No

>>1749817
''Require'' is a bit of an exaggeration. 1st looks and is very questionable but considering most of the time I'm warping around for 2 spots, I think it is worth, its just a shame you gotta wait a couple seconds between skills
2nd could be done with Chasca or even with my current team if I do short scara flight > varesa > scara to cross gap, but he takes fall dmg and Mavuika just makes it nicer in general. Mavuika most of the time makes everything nice thats the thing, if I had a 2nd LP for Varesa I would think it over tho

https://streamable.com/sz7old

Something I forgot to mention in my first post is that I need to double check finishing on tatarasuna and the mausoleum, there may be better finishers now and if there are any new extras like th e sumeru bubbles

>>1749835
You could probably farm and level some artifacts

>>1749844
I have more artifacts than I know what to do with.

Am I missing anything by not doing the story in the event or just more inane yammering?

>>1749842
Natlan has Pheasants and special sigil things you can collect with Ororon/Citlali/indwell an Iktomisaurus that give arti fodder after full routes. The Pheasants are even 12hr respawns.

>>1749847
Lotsa homos yapping for hours but at least the end sequence is pretty kino

>>1749852
>Pheasants
Right, i remember them from exploring, I'll look into that

>>1749847
You're missing out on some kino, yeah

how many days until skirk

>>1749847
About 40 primos

>>1749873
5.7 should launch on the 18th, so 24ish?

>>1749387
>healan

>synergy with furina
She will enable a lot of teams and be very useful. Have fun.

>>1749873
Always check your friend the transmuter

This new arti route is helping with the mora more than i expected as I decided to use the compass at every stopping point

How the fug do I break this? There's nothing usable nearby.

>>1749979
its been a long time since i did this stuff but if i remember correctly geo constructs will resonate with the waves, so you should be able to use zhongli's pillar to extend the distance.

>>1749979
>>1749980
or geo traveler since they can have multiple constructs up at once and make it easier

>>1749847
Depends on if you care about any of the characters involved. The latter parts of the event story are mostly focused on Kinich, Wriosthesley, Ifa, Ororon and a bit of Neuvillette. The sequence towards the end is worth watching but you can always mash through the story (act 3 after you return to the park) or find it uploaded somewhere. The value of the primos is for you to decide.

>>1749563
This seems like a decent idea I might have to adopt.

>>1749928
I always stick my crystal fly trap on grass so I'll remember to do transformer at the same time I reset it

When will we get a proper 5 star Xiangling replacement. I'm sick of this squirrel faced idiot.

I'm R5-ing my wife's EL in less than 6 hours, and I can't wait!

Would Fang of the Mountain King be better than Serpent Spine for Dehya? Purely as a stat stick, I'm not going to use her in a burgeon team anytime soon. Maybe if I manage to get Emilie, maybe.

>temptation to spend Emilie funds on the weapon banner grows

I think you can manage with Yoimiya

>>1751136
You can grab useful stuff on reruns later.
If you want someone from chronicled, it's here now.
And who knows when it'll be back?

When will they make a 2nd standard 5 star Inazuma character
hopefully one that is Geo just to rub it in.
They should make new standard 5 stars in Fontaine and Natlan as well.
Sully the pool.

>>1751577
Albedo should be the geo standard rep

Chat why is my Mistsplitter blue instead of pink??

>>1751657
Wait, this is actually good for the milktruck Chlorine, right?

I want it but I'll have under 270 wishes when Skirk arrives, and I am not feeling lucky.
Although I'll make up my mind on taking the chance once I pass the 150th wish

three more weeks...

>>1751857
I'll get C1 easy due to radiance. Then weapon, then maybe C2.

>>1751669
It definitely not bad for her, and it looks like a pretty flexible weapon.

Has anyone noticed if swirling cryo with a skill is buffed in the abyss?

>>1751577
>They should make new standard 5 stars in Fontaine and Natlan as well.
Around a year ago when they announced every future anniversary event would have a standard selector they also said the standard pool would expand every year
Given that they added Mizuki this year it's not entirely out of the question to assume they might introduce new standard characters from older regions in the future

Kinich seems really fun to play, I'm almost tempted to pull. Almost

babe wake up, new totally on hundred percent reliable leaks just dropped

>itch to play and explore
>nothing left to play and explore
I'm half tempted to start over on a different server with a stupid gimmick like only rolling on Chronicled banners or maining a hyperinvested Sayu or some shit just for something to do

>>1752021
We go on a date with Yelan this summer?! :O God, please be real!

>>1752021
>dottore
more like il diddy

>>1752021
the guy who leaked this has a nearly 100% correct track record with hsr leaks but i still don't believe it.

>>1752087
The Genshin team's security has been almost airtight with no major leaks (unlike the other Hoyo games) so I don't really see why someone who apparently has leaked nothing but HSR stuff up until now suddenly would drop half a nation's roster for a different game unless it's either
>a deliberate marketing stunt by Hoyo feeding information
>a malicious third party convincing him it's real to stir up hype so people get disappointed
>a prank
Even then I have a hard time believing it solely because it's mostly just a list of the characters we already more or less knew would be present in the region regardless of their playability. The absence of literally who type randoms makes me less inclined to believe it, so for now I'm just going to treat it as little more than someone making educated guesses and shots in the dark

>>1752087
>but i still don't believe it.
Fair, it's a bit too early to trust anything.
I'm waiting until the super blurry model lineups, at least.

>>1752087
True but he also said that he no interest in leaking stuff from Genshin whatsoever, so him suddenly have a ton of names out of nowhere when leakers already barely had anything on Natlan’s patch cycle in the first place is extremely dubious.

In about three weeks once 5.7 comes out and the 5.8 beta opens up you can at the very least verify whether or not Yelan and Bennett get outfits. Of course you can treat this with some scepticism as well since it's always possible that the outfit leaks might be genuine (since they're first in the pipeline) while everything else isn't
Either way the 5.7 special program in roughly one week should have another Nod-Krai teaser though if they stick to their old schedule of the type of teasers they show at the end of the SPs then this one shouldn't include any of the characters

>>1752021
Columbina is our "archon" for this next region? Neat. We knew most these other characters were going to be present (even if some of the elements assigned to them seem a bit off) so this could just be speculation. And leakers have been saying Yelan was getting a skin since before lantern rite so it's possible (then again some of these were saying Lan Yan was going to be Madam Ping).

As always take them with a grain of salt until more reliable information comes out.

>>1750822

>>1753835
Where on earth is she even supposed to know Dori from? In Fontaine she said she hadn't been to the surface world of Teyvat since she was taken in by Surtalogi as a child

>>1753939
who knows but i think its really funny that dori seems to be able to conduct business with anyone. dori also works with alice. skirk has about lines for alice, dainsleif, dori, the moon, nicole, neuvillette, surtalogi and tartaglia.

The real question is where does Surtalogi "The Foul" know her from?

>>1753939
Maybe Surtalogi know Dori as a pawn shop for cashing in his interstellar pirate raids?
I mean, I doubt he only told Skirk about the other Sinners.

Am I retarded or something? Did those things in the ground exist before? Which sort of buff those churls? I don't remember them.

>>1754766
Yeah, they were there from 1.0 IIRC? Like some domains and old abyss had those things that would apply a certain element to the enemies, making them stronger. During dragonspine launch they added a cryo version that you can break/deactivate.

>>1755023

Oh no!!

friendly reminder there are rewards for getting stars in the theatre now

>>1755534
I still don't know how to beat the theater I always run out of characters even when doing everything to conserve and get more of them

>>1755562
I've only had problems with characters when I selected a mystery cache with character penalties (both options had it; RIP me) or if I wasted good characters early. You should have plenty if you select the options to get more characters and use your weaker ones as early as possible. Theater doesn't need optimal teams, especially if you buy the buffs (though you might need a fair bit of investment to get the stars).

>>1755567
wish they'd let you back out of the mystery cache when both options are shit

>>1755562
Always keep your best characters for the bosses. Always pick the companion cards. use the worst characters at the beginning - this run Cyno, Mika, Collei. The free Mystery caches can potentilly fuck you over, and once you open them, you must pick one kf the two options.

And so the pendulum swings back

Huh, guess the starvation theory had some merit.

>>1755630
Gratz on your fish and wet socks

Paimon!!!

>>1755578
It is so goofy when you get excited to pick the free mystery cache and then you end up having to pick between two choices that fuck you over. They should just make it cost 20 flowers and give you a skip option. Better yet, make the choices less shitty in the first place, because the IT card/resource system isn't exactly a strategic masterpiece right now.

>tons of players complaining about how they are unable to get even 4000 points on the current combat event because they start with 0 energy and have to build around certain characters and reactions
ah, the greatest filter of all for a gacha player, actually having to know how to play the game. these people are gonna freak out when they see the new endgame mode next patch.

I am adventure rank 58 and I am above 5000 points on every event
However I also built horizontally in order to conquer the Imaginarium Theater before the Spiral Abyss and I imagine that the regular player has not done any such thing

>>1755972
its trivially easy to get to 4000 points, even using the scuffed average builds of the trial characters. unless they are brand new players there is really no excuse, it's just a skill issue.

I have just barely enough characters at level 80 or 90 to attempt Visionary Theater this month
I am nervous, my star DPS is going to be a borrowed Varesa.

>>1755936
>>1755986
The only one I struggled with is the Mauvika one with my alt (only has one team built up "decently") and that was probably skill issue on my part. Was easy on my main though (and I was a bit too crazy with horizontal investment on that account so builds are all WIP).

>>1756006
Yeah, there seems to be too much emphasis on crit ratio in general advice. Then again I'm not sure how much of the general playerbase even bother with artifacts.

>>1756088
Just make sure you save the right characters for SIMON and the new frozen boss at the end.

Well, if you just guess all the combinations, one of them's gotta end up right. Right?

>>1756182
>how much of the general playerbase even bother with artifacts
I try not to bother with them at all. I don’t remember which piece it is, but there was a one in eight hundred chance of getting a piece (probably the headpiece or goblet) with three substats I wanted, and one in four hundred if it was just two. Then the odds are probably twice as high with four star pieces idk, but those might only have two substats by default.
So I usually focus more on leveling characters up because they’re more useless at lower levels than if they have shit artifacts. Like I’m better off having a lvl 90 Beidou or Dehya built for cryo infusions than having a lvl 60 chongyun. (and then there’s shit like Mavuika who I used as a cryo dps and she’s pretty competitive my Freminet)

what's the max statue of the seven level for natlan atm?

>>1756564
when you collect all the pyroculus the statue should be at level 8 with 30/38 toward the next level iirc.

>>1756598

This set is just pain, I don't remember the last time an artifact set just refused to hard

God I really don't feel like doing this

>>1756540
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/270518-genshin-impact/79912738
Check out this thread where a guy breaks down how hard it is to get a good artifact of each type.

>>1756540
>>1756651
in terms of resin efficiency, artifacts should be the last thing you focus on, if you focus on them at all and don't just get the correct main stats on the correct set and move on. you reach about ~60-70% of your realistic power potential in just a single week of artifact farming. here is a good video on the whole topic where the guy simulated 20 weeks of pure artifact farming and how much the character improved week by week.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUYkV5wdQ1w

>>1756540
Yeah I went for maxed weapons, fully ascended and at least Lv 8 talents before working on artifacts at all (and a few crowns here and there). It IS very hard to get decent substats, but at least it means I have a lot of strongbox fodder.

>>1756642
It's what 3 games or so to get the rewards?

>>1756660
I try to look at artifacting more as an outlet for spending my stam, rather than a hunt for That One Artifact.
If I get something that seems better than my current stuff, great. Even better if it manages to stay that way.
But if not, I still got done with what I was doing. So whatever.

>>1756642

>>1756698
alice will have an orbital space laser that blasts a hole through the false sky as her burst

>>1756702
It would be funny if it only saved your search parameters and not the individual pieces. It says after you equip the pieces it'll remember it the next time you load the slot so maybe it works properly.

>>1756723

>>1756723
>loom rending space and time to get some yearly onii-chan dick

>>1756702
It doesn't save actual artifacts, it just lets you customise the auto-equip feature
You also need to do it for every character rather than just having a preset you can move around

i'm so tired of reading about "the gender ratio" issue of genshin everywhere else on the internet. you can't discuss this game anywhere else without someone's completely unsolicited opinion on it where they cry and moan and piss and shit their pants about there being no male characters.

Leaks for 5.8 btw, apparently from a new leaker but he's backed up by a reliable one.
Seems like we've got a situation similar to 1.6 where a character from the next nation (here Nod Krai) will release right before it comes out. And of course since it’s a female 5 star, the usual suspects had another meltdown.

>>1757454
>the usual suspects had another meltdown.
r/fatuihq and r/capitanomains must be completely barren after all the suicides at this point. natlan absolutely mindbroke so much of the genshin playerbase by simply not being what they had made up in their head 4 years ago based entirely on 2 lines of context-less dialogue from the travail teaser and only having a single 5* male character.

>>1757454
This isn't the limited time area yet, right?

>>1757466
as far as the leakers know there is no limited time area this summer. since there are skins i'm assuming there is at least a summer event though. maybe they will recycle a past area, or maybe it'll just take place on the normal map.

newest freshest schizo leak post
columbina kills dottore

>>1757480
Fujos on suicide watch

>>1757480
Damn. Now I want Columbina.
Also:
>loli
>taller loli
>hebe
>fat hebe
>skirk hebe
>hag
>taller hag
I count 7 female body types. With both hebe and hag having a few variations.

>>1757486
it would be the most based thing hoyo could do, both because dottore is an obvious villain character who deserves to be killed in the story and also because all of his fujo dickriders would kill themselves. he's a good villain don't get me wrong, but the shit storm that would result from them giving him the signora treatment, at the hands of one of his fellow harbingers no less, would be magnificent.

>>1757480
"oops I made a new segment off screen and you didn't kill the real me ;)"

>>1757490
Would also align Columbina with Traveler and Arlecchino. I'm also interested in how Columbina ended up with the Fatui. You can pretty much deduce it for most of them, but she makes very little sense to be there.

Wait, if Columbina isn't cryo why did I roll for Escoffier?

>>1757527
bro... your skirk???
your tsaritsa????

>>1757530
I think I'll skip skirk to be honest, I'm not following the leaks so I have no idea what she does except for her visuals.
The tsaritsa will drop in what, two years? Bweeeh

>>1757531
I have no need for Skirk but I'm gonna roll for her because she's related to the Sinners

>>1757526
based off what we know now from the nod-krai teasers i'm guessing she is one of the snowland fae and was loyal to the previous cryo archon. her being a fae would also explain her strange behavior.

>>1757527
I'm OOL, what did leakers say about her element? I'm actually hoping for electro since I'm a dendrofag

>>1757537
they have just said she isn't cryo with no other elaboration.

>>1757537
Nobody knows about Columbina's element.

>>1757542
>>1757540
Well, thanks.

>>1757527
Don't have any other cryo or hydro DPS that can use her? Apparently a few people got her working in melt so that's always an option

>>1757547
I'm running her with Mona, Citlali and Furina. It's a good, fun team for overworld silliness. I'll try them out in abyss too but for now I can vouch for overworld comfiness at least.

>>1757548
Yeah she pairs very well with Furina in general. Does sound like a comfy overworld team though

Columbina will be the physical archon trust the plan guys

Loom appearing where the destroyed sky patch was...

>>1757454
Wasn't Ororon supposed to be this? After Sigewinne was supposed to be this

>>1757626
Ororon is essentially an improvement over Fischl C6, but he only works in electrocharge teams.

He does nothing for the reaction itself, he just needs it to trigger his attacks.

>>1757677
at what C does Ororon win out over fischl

>>1757699
C0.
Most of his constellations just affect his burst's damage and energy reqs, which is great but his main damage source is his passive (Hypersense) where he deals damage on every EC reaction (or nightsoul dmg).
His C6 does give an 30% ATK bonus to the current active character every burst though, which is a nice bonus.

>>1757812
but is he as good a battery as fish

>>1757601
Eulalia my beloved

what sword should I give Skirk? Black Sword?
I heard Calamity of Eshu is good but that requires a shield

>>1757862
Black Sword and Finale of the Deep(Fontaine's craftable) are both her best 4* options at R1, with Finale of the Deep being better at R5. And since Skirk’s team is loaded with DMG buff and no ATK buff, Finale of the Deep giving a lot of ATK is really good.
TLDR : Finale of the Deep R5 is the best f2p option, Black Sword is still really solid tho.

>>1757862
>>1757881
Also Eshu is indeed really good but you'll need to slot in a shielder which isn’t exactly her best option, but that’ll depends on your roster. However considering your Eshu is R1 (unless you have its refinement materials), it may not be as good as it should be.
Overall, I'd still advise Finale of the Deep or Black Sword, since they are more reliable than Eshu.

>>1757881
>>1757884
I have all the refinement stuff for Eshu, but yeah I dunno if I'll end up using a shielder.
Got plenty of billets so I guess I'll make Finale for her.
Thanks anon

I miss playing as Nahida but I don't want to reinstall genshin because dendro teams feel like shit compared to the newest powercreep

>>1757480
>'bina patch
My hands are moving on their own. I'm hovering over my credit card like Yugi desperately trying to draw the right card so that the glass floor doesn't shatter. Like a samurai ready to unsheath his blade in mortal combat. When she finally opens her eyes I will cum and pass out.

>>1757953
>After triggering Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon [...]
I don't think so? It's a "new" reaction not listed in the OG description of Sapblade.

>>1757814
I actually don't know if he surpasses Fischl in that aspect, but he has a very nice passive talent that gives an extra 9 energy to the on-field character after using his skill

>>1758261
every fucking time

>>1758261
Wouldn't it be funny if they made an enemy that only 3 characters can deal with its gimmick by themselves, otherwise, requiring Xianyan, or Geo traveler if you're feeling dangerous.

>>1757480
At this point it's better this way, better than making up bullshit to make the character friendly because otherwise he can't be released.

>>1757292
Is it normal for characters to be so similar? I guess it's realistic because similar things could happen to multiple people, but it also seems like lazy writing and even their designs are similar.

Now that I remember, the last few livestream codes weren't a string of random numbers and letters.
Guessing the new codes shouldn't be that hard.

>>1757531
She might not even matter for the tsaritsa at that point. If a weapon or artifact comes out that kaeya can use (maybe there already is), I'll have ice coffee at home.

I don't think Varesa or Chlorine are fun to play.

>>1758482
Based and fun-pilled. Clorinde was such a letdown, I love her design but her gameplay is ass. At least her burst is very aesthetic, but still.

>>1758482
>Chlorinde
Fair
>Varesa
>

>>1758482
I haven't really put effort to understanding her gameplay myself. She as a result has the lowest score in that fighting event we just got

>>1758588
Her gimmick is that she flattens you out with her big, round buttstocks.
Or you could also say she has 2 bursts, 1 for when you are not on nightsoul state (enters NS state) and 1 for when you already are. She can enter NS by using her fully charged burst or plunging, which is what you wanna do. To get her on the air you can CA or use skill and then normal attack which is the same but faster and after hitting a plunge she enters NS and after that you keep plunging and using bursts. Nothing too fancy but unique and cool and cute.

I hope Nod-Krai characters don't have any stupid mechanics like arkhe or nightsoul

>>1758651
There is nothing wrong with either mechanics and they surely will. I wonder if they are gonna rip off the wuwa thing too

>>1758261
>>1758344
>>1758289
>>1758475

Then again, that dude has 0 HP, I don't even see a healthbar in there.

Nightsoul bad

>>1758717
yes, we all know that it was a mistake.

>>1758651
this has been the norm since sumeru made it so you HAVE to have a dendro character to solve certain puzzles, its not going to go away. expect moon power gimmicks.

>>1758779
>this has been the norm since sumeru made it so you HAVE to have a dendro character to solve certain puzzles
can't believe Mondstadt MADE you have pyro characters to solve certain puzzles...
Mihoyo really is creatively bankrupt since 1.0...

>>1758779
It's quite possible that Moon Electro-charged be an entire Nod-krai tribe mechanic.

>>1758785
at least for mondstadt you are forced to get the relevant element characters to solve all the puzzles before you can even leave the nation. if you go to sumeru, fontaine, or natlan at an early enough AR, you'll have to rely purely on the traveler to solve all the gimmicks since you don't get collei and lynette until later AR ranks, and you don't get kachina until you start the natlan archon quest. but yes this has always been a thing and people will always complain about "gimmick mechanics" like they are a new thing in the game every time a new region comes out.

>>1758809
my complaint about night soul is that the mechanic itself is bad, not that it's specifically required for puzzles and stuff.

>>1758651
Seems like they'll have some "moon"-related bullshit if we go by the "moon electro-charged" or whatever the leakers are talking about.
For me it's a mixed bag, new mechanics sure will keep the game fresh, but new mechanics that are locked behind new characters and only new characters can benefit from are far from fun. I want to roll for new characters that are synergic with my favorites, not pick a new favorite every x.0 patch.

>>1758809
They just flat out give you Lynette in the event screen and sumeru is full of those dendro nodes that let you solve puzzles without dendro characters if you're too shit at the game to clear floor 4 before you explore Sumeru somehow

skirk sex

>>1758877
And Fontaine's got the glowing orbs that let you do all the Arkhe puzzles, if you don't wanna carry around both Lynette and Hydro Traveler the whole time.
Or if you just forget that it's a thing on characters, and spend most of Fontaine's run thinking that those orbs are your only option.

>>1758809
No way you'll reach Sumeru and Fontaine without clearing the first 5 Abyss floors. You'll get Lynette, Collei, Xiangling for free.

>>1759095
you can walk there after unlocking the rest of the map, nothing is stopping a new player from doing so. i walked to sumeru just to unlock dendro traveler immediately when i first started playing in 4.0 simply because i had been told it was the best version of the traveler and i wasn't AR 20 so the abyss wasn't even available to me.

>>1759102
>>1758779
>>1758809
Stuff in Fontaine isn't character locked (arkhe orbs are on every puzzle), and in Natlan there's always the saurians. They stopped doing that a long time ago.

>>1759114
okay what is the argument then, because it seems like you are agreeing with me that they offer solutions to the regional gimmick in every region, and it has always been this way and we should expect a new gimmick in nod-krai?

>>1759117
If that's your argument, yes I agree.

>>1759114
the saurians have such bad controls/movement
It annoys me so much whenever I have to use one of them
