Nah, Remuria didn't have anything of the sort. Remus's civilization went corrupt but that was "fate" at work because of HP's fatwa against water people
And with the new artifact set then HP was a slaver long before World War 2 and a curse happy tyrant. One result of which is that all the angels that survived WW2 ended up rebelling against HP and defying it, even the Lord of Night
Istaroth could still be Abyss corrupted, but that doesn't rule out her being super angry at HP over Enkanomiya and whatever else

the geography of teyvat is beyond comprehension.

it would have revealed that genshin is a sci-fi lovecraftian horror game like houkai gakuen and not a medieval fantasy game too soon if they mentioned it before it was actually relevant to the story. i'm expecting woman cthulhu to show up any day now because hoyo can't help but recycle ideas.

new archon quest was kino, but i don't know how anyone could possibly be excited for dainsleif anymore, this guy has to be the dumbest fucking human being alive in teyvat. every time he shows up he proves to be even more ignorant and selfish.

Do I aim for c1 skirk or c0 shenhe? I already have a Yelan.

On one hand, robo-maid does seem a bit weird.
On the other hand, Fatui and Snez have been the mechanical/tech guys from the start.
And some of that leaking into Nod too makes enough sense.
So whatever.

>>1766371
Why would you park the robo-maid outside? You send her inside, and you stay out.
In fact, you probably stay home, and send her on the whole trip.

jean has had a voiceline mispronouncing albedo's name since launch and i don't think its ever been fixed so i doubt it was because of a pronunciation error, but i can't imagine what other reason there would be for them to ask her to re-record combat lines of all things. i know ray chase said he asked to re-record neuvillette's grunting combat lines after seeing the animations because he thought they didn't fit well and was told he couldn't.

I am rolling for Dainsleif because he's a silly goose

do the artifacts in the boxes change depending on which patch you open them in?

>>1766522
Skirk also changes between that costume and her updated one in her SQ, specifically after the 1st domain and when it's time to head to Bubu Pharmacy
And unless I am missing something from reading some quest item, we don't keep the updated charge attack for the Traveler. Which is typical hoyo bullshit

>>1766570
I felt the same when I started ZZZ but, I have a feeling Genshin was also a spaceship when i started it back then. Gachas have this bad habit of bombarding you with tutorials and mechanics and currencies and shit. Because they have so many systems on place UIs are always a mess.

I thought it was hilarious how the Traveler was willing to fuck off from Teyvat immediately if their sibling was on board. It's a nice character trait for them to so callously abandon Paimon and everyone without informing them if it were ideal to do so. But I suppose five years on Teyvat isn't much when compared to their millions or billions years of memories.
The fact that they don't mention what else they've seen to anyone else means that the Traveler doesn't really put that much importance on memories because of how much they experienced or also instantly jumped ship from whatever world they were on.

>>1766612
>five years on Teyvat
Weren't both siblings on Teyvat for at least 500

>>1766523
It's 10 days after each patch.

>>1766524
No, that's why they're different boxes.

>>1766639
Yes, though the events surrounding the starting cutscene are still foggy.
Arrival in Teyvat, Traveler remains hibernating while the Abyss twin wakes up -> Khaenri'ah arc, twin travels through Teyvat and Cataclysm -> ??? -> Traveler and twin attempt to leave Teyvat and fight Asmoday. Twin is kidnapped, Traveler is put to sleep again -> ??? -> Traveler wakes up and shortly after finds Paimon at the beach.

>>1766612
>compared to their millions or billions years of memories.
i've never bought into this idea that the siblings are millions or billions of years old. especially now that we know they were basically in stasis in hibernation pods on their ship as they traveled through space. they are almost certainly long-lived but i have a feeling they are a lot younger than the prevailing theories the community has regarding their age.
>Weren't both siblings on Teyvat for at least 500
yes in the case of the abyss twin but also maybe technically no in the case of the traveler, i have a feeling that the traveler specifically was plucked out of time by istaroth and sent 500 years into the future after they get cubed during the opening cutscene. it would explain why the abyss sibling was unable to find us in the 500 years after the cataclysm despite them being willing to abandon khaenri'ah to total devastation just to reunite with us.

Anyway, I love that event, it should be a feature of the game instead like in ZZZ

>>1766861

the devs already said they plan on making it permanent but they are using these events to get feedback and test the system.

Why is Loom so mean?

I gave her the key

>>1767849
i did too even though i knew it was sealing her fate. keeping it lets it stay in your inventory but i really don't care, the entire ending of the quest made me salty as fuck toward the abyss twin enough as it is, and i found out that if you keep the key then the abyss twin just gives their key to her instead as a big fuck you to the traveler for trying to change fate.

Hell the Shogunbot was playable before that was even confirmed and her weekly boss form is just as robotic as the android maid.

I'm going to do it.

It was ok.

>>1768170
>>1768179
I totally missed the "in total" until I saw the result. What a total scam lol. Might've been fine if it isn't so scarce.

>>1768131
It’s here, but idk why it just appeared

>>1768000
That has to have consequences down the road on future versions. The difference between having the key in our inventory or not having it is big. That's not illusion of choice, there is no way it is neutral

>>1768497
>there is no way it is neutral
it will be simply because of time travel fuckery. the fact that at one point in the timeline there are 3 keys fucks everything up and means that the abyss sibling can give us back our key again in the future, so nothing will be different.

Give me a Khaenri'ahn gf.

>>1768497
At some point it just means that one of the siblings will have two keys
>traveller has original key
>traveller finds girl with other siblings key
>traveller keeps both and has two keys
>sibling gives away key
Or
>traveller has key
>traveller finds girl with key
>traveller gives the key back
>sibling still has key
>sibling gets extra key from girl
>sibling has two keys
Which is also why I think that portal disappeared, because if a key hadn’t been given to that girl it might’ve caused issues by changing fate.

>>1768656
>it might’ve caused issues
that's putting it mildly, had she not shown our sibling the key there is a chance khaenri'ah might not have been destroyed, or at least the damage might not have been as bad, because our sibling wouldn't have abandoned them to go find us. all of this because istaroth is having a time god (woman) moment.

kino

>>1767250
If you look at the red cubes with elemental sight they turn black. It probably doesn't mean anything but I've never seen something like that before.

How do I play skirk with this team? I have no idea how I burst with her (the cool burst not the atk buff)
Usually I go citlali skill - escoffier burst + skill - furina burst and skill - skirk skill and mash the atk + charged atk button

>>1769112
if you want to burst nuke with skirk you need to hold skill to absorb the rifts on field and then burst, don't press skill because she wont absorb the rifts. the combo i would use is furina EQ, citlali E, escoffier EQ, skirk hEQ. furina should burst first so that you can get as much fanfare as possible.

>>1769147
>you need to hold skill to absorb the rifts on field and then burst

tfw you are not neuv

Oh shit nigga, what are you doing? Follow what >>1769147 said and make sure to equip granny with Scroll.

I've been doing vape backwards this whole time. From personal experience, getting flamed after water hurts more

>>1769112
You either go for fancy burst or normal attacks, as the burst cooldowns are shared. You either take the frontloaded damage or the large steroid.

Here's some examples
Fancy burst spam: Hold E -> do your team's rotations until 3 rifts (reactions) -> Hold E -> Q
Attack with fancy burst (only on first rotation): Q -> team rotations -> E -> NA spam -> Q when 3 rifts -> more NA spam
Attack: team rotations -> E -> NA spam -> Q when 3 rifts -> more NA spam, use CA to absorb post-Q rifts

The last one gives you a larger duration on her E since you stockpiled her energy. Which one's the best? Dunno. Her damage is high enough that it doesn't matter.

I'm thinking of giving Keka either Black Sword or Wolf Fang. Her infused electro shots are scaling off her NA, which means Black Sword should be better. However, many people seem to claim Wolf Fang is better on her. Which one is it?

>>1769732
from a pure numbers perspective, r5 lions roar is better than both of them but you'll need good artifacts to make up for the loss of crit rate from the weapon. if you're dead set on giving her wolf fang or black sword then give her wolf fang, her damage primarily comes from her skill and burst.

>>1769746
But aren't her infused hits considered NA?

>>1769799
they are but you really shouldn't be doing much in the way of normal attacks with her during a normal rotation, maybe 1 or 2 N1Cs. most of her damage comes from her skill and burst, something like EQE N1C EE would be her onfield combo before starting the rotation over.

>>1769806
Hmm, makes sense.

>>1769732
I used Black Sword for a long time. The heal is small but comfy and Keka's N1C comes out so fast I can do it like 3 times even with 4TF in an aggravate team (4TF reduces skill cooldown). You can check some community spreadsheets here for a general idea of the numbers.
https://keqingmains.com/keqing/#Calculation_Repository

>>1769732
Keq's normal attacks have terrible damage ratios. Her damage comes from burst, skill (especially after C1).
Charge attacks are good but are merely just filler for when the rest of the team is on cooldown, especially with TF lowering her skill cooldown. If on a team with short enough rotations, you can end up not even using a single charge attack.

>>1766607
The crowns were sufficient for 36 stars. Still cut it a bit close so had to go back and make sure I had energy every chamber.

>Captcha: ASS GTG

>>1770245
I have never encountered a scenario where +1 on a talent makes any difference whatsoever. I literally just use crowns on character which I really like, otherwise lvl 9 is enough.

>>1770265
They were at Lv 8 so it's a fair bump. Could be that I just played better this time though

So do you get better artifact rewards from the higher difficulties of Stygian, or can I just spam easy mode for fast artifact runs?

>>1770584
The difficulty level shouldn't affect the quality of the artifact drops
shouldn't

>>1770584

>trying to clear menacing level of stygian
>at least one instance of my abyss team being insufficient
... am I just skill issue or is 2 minutes with no energy to start with just a bit unreasonable?

>>1771172
i love that all the criticism of it is either backed by no solutions or the most insane solutions ever like completely fundamentally reworking the combat system to make it more skill based, as if turning genshin into dmc-lite like zzz wouldn't filter out 80% of the playerbase. people asked for harder content, and then when they got it in the only way the mechanics of the game can really allow, they complained that it is too hard.

>>1771186
This content is made for whales to show off, as they had requested. You can't have a whale mode be skill-dependent, as they want to win by spending, not by getting good.

>>1771233
they couldn't make it skill dependent even if they wanted to because genshin simply lacks the basic mechanics to make skill based combat scenarios. they would have to completely redesign the gameplay. the only way that the devs can actually increase "difficulty" is through strict timers, hp bloat, enemies doing more damage, or requiring certain elements/unique mechanics (pneuma/ousia, nightsoul, etc) to counter certain enemies. if they required players to do things like block, dodge, parry, or string together actual attack combos, then they would filter out so many casual players it wouldn't be worth it.

>need to be gigawhale or metafag with decent artifact to get all of it
What the fuck are they thinking? They should at least give the feather too on lower difficulties so people won't be as salty not being able to clear the last 2.

>Sergeant
Oh shit. Tabibito got drafted.

>>1771455
That's not correct. The items are not there to let you get decent artifacts from nothing, they're there to make it easier for you to gain improvements on already good artifacts. You can already get the first feather on stage IV by having fully levelled up and skilled up characters who counter the boss mechanics (ie. no artifact luck is required). If the next stage is too hard to beat, well, that's what the feather is there for. To guarantee your characters get stronger over time.

Stygian doesn't count as doing domains or leylines
Fuck yohomo

How the fuck there are no Yelan costume leaks yet? Did miHoYo assassinate the leaktrannies?

>>1771487

Same reason the appearances of neither Hu Tao and Xiangling's outfits were known until their official reveal

>>1771477
Artifact with 0-1 upgrades went into the desired stats is bare bone usable but I won't call it decent. The feather guarantee 2 upgrades so it's at least became decent. People who can clear highest difficulty would already have something better than "at least 2 upgrades went into good stats". Even with a whole 3 feather per patch it won't guarantee them an increase in power due to how good their artifacts already is and rng. So casuals need it the most but it's somehow gated by a game mode that isn't aimed at casual.

Not even mad at that cause I fully agree. Mode sucks. Even after beating Fearless, I still think it sucks. It's more fun on Hard without the restrictions and HP bloat.

good enough for me

I recently got Wolf's Gravestone. Should I give it to Dehya, or Diluc? Dehya is C3 with EoSF, HP/Pyro/CR. Diluc is C6, with nothing since he's not built. I plan to get Emilie too (I even have her weapon since I was pulling for Simulacra), and maybe get a burning team going with those two.

>>1772091
Diluc because your Dehya is still not going to deal damage with it. Better off building her HP to tank for your team.

>>1771925
This is misinformation. We knew they'd get outfits, but we didn't know what they looked like. The blurry screenshots that were passed around were fanmade and did not even resemble the actual skins.

I'm shifting from playing hyper raiden to playing overload raiden. Do I need to change something in my build? I optimized my set for raiden-sara-kazuha-bennett. I picked an ER sands because I already had plenty of ATK buffs going around. raiden-sara-chevvy-xiangling will give me less ATK so maybe I should pick an ATK sands again?

dumb cryoshill patch

HOOOO-LY SHIT!
This changes everything.

>>1773376
My routes are already 20min with extension + 2 sets of extras, please.....

>>1773376
what the fuck am I looking at

I should use some of these one day

>>1773403
6 extra spots can be added to the typical overworld max artifact fodder route.

>>1773404
nah what if you need them later

>>1773404
Bro is saving them for genshin 2 lol

>>1773420
NTA, aren't you capped at X inspection spots per day so artifacts farming routes already got solved like 10 patches ago?

>>1773354
It'll be gone next patch. Funny that Skirk didn't even get two patches.

>>1773447
You can go slightly over the cap by leaving a spot with several interactables for last, you interact with all of them and only afterwards you pick up the goods.

In what order should I do the following quests?

Paralogism
A space and time for you
Whispers betwixt stars and night (skirk sq)

>>1773447
The daily cap is 100 spots normally, but if you collect the 100th spot in an area with many spots you can finish collecting those too as long as you don't leave that area. The image shows the standard/best final area with 28 artifact spots (99 spots around the world, then 28 more to finish things in the final area), but someone figured out how to collect 6 more spots nearby as long as you don't move past a certain line (which would trigger the cap and despawn the remaining spots). That means the new best route is 133 total spots before the despawn happens.

>>1773480
>>1773460
Naruhodo. I wish I had the mental capacity to do that, but it's very good nonetheless. Maybe when I have time I'll try setting that up on my end.

>>1773463
AQ AQ SQ
Dain and Skirk do not meet at any point. The trailers were literally false advertising.

>>1773457
Would getting Skirk help me with this trash? I have never been big on cryo

This game any good? I've seen things about it here and there for years; never took a deeper look into it.

>>1773566
it's a treasure trove of lore with enough casual gameplay to keep you occupied. endgame content is difficult but it depends on your mindset towards the game

>>1773447
Yeah but it didn't stop there. People figured out some spots have 12h timers and some have 24h timers, some spots can give you a single artifact with that arti having a 50% chance of being a 2-star arti and some spots can give you 2 1-star artifacts (65% chance) and also a range of 100 to 300 mora. Spots don't despawn after you pick up 100, but rather they stop spawning. Some spots have weird rules like odd respawn timings like 23h, some spots don't have a timing at all and respawn at server reset, some spots don't follow the 100 spot rule or a combination of all that.
With all this knowledge and a pletora of spots as the world keeps growing, new routes are nothing like before, you can do whatever you want now. You can optimize them to be done as fast as possible, you can squeeze the most juice out of them at the cost of time, or something in between. Hell, people have 2 routes nowadays by having common 12h spots and separate 24h ones, this way you can do the run whenever you feel like pretty much. (me, I have semi mora-oriented routes -see picrel- that focus on getting me as much mora as posible while also balancing time so they don't take 30min and don't have obnoxious decoy spots that don't give artis on my way, at the cost of being 20min long and needing some Mavuika tech and mindful character swapping)
Today's routes have the main route, a finisher like the mausoleum the first poster refered to or Tatarasuna where you collect spot 100 and everything in that area, and then extras that don't despawn after that like the sumeru bubbles.
>>1773460
>you interact with all of them and only afterwards you pick up the goods.
What do you mean anon? You can pick up the stuff as you go like usual.

>>1773582
>Some spots have weird rules like odd respawn timings like 23h
That was proven a mistake. The timer starts when you first visit(spawn in) a spot so if you come back to a 24hr spot an hour later to investigate/pick up the spot then it will respawn in 23 hours, if you picked it up 2 hours later it'll respawn in 22 hours, and so on.

>>1773622
Oh. Well, an oddity nonetheless

>resorted to finally R5ing the catch to squeeze out as much damage as possible from xiangling
Kill me.

>>1773566
No. Story is all over the place and end game needs min max autism (or pay enough money and time).

>>1773566
Depends on what you like in a game. I personally enjoy it, but I originally downloaded it because I'm broke and missed playing video games (and the limited interaction with people meant I probably wouldn't wind up addicted to this one like I usually do... ha). It does have its problems (a lot of people accuse it of being stingy with rewards; outdated QoL--which it is working on, albeit slowly--and other features, and a refusal to go back and fix or tweak certain things [I did not appreciate constantly having to go deal with "X character is busy in Y quest" on my alt when focused experienced mode should've been an option]) but if you enjoy open world games with lots of story and lore (if questionable writing at times)... and have the space for it give it a try.

>>1773566
It's free, so you can try it out if you want.
If you like it, you've got years of backlog of story events and stuff to explore.
If you almost like it, there's more games in a similar vein now that you could try out. But I haven't played them, so I can't give you any further advice on those.
If you hate it, you can uninstall, call us all idiots, and never look back.

>>1773488
The trailers and teasers made it abundantly clear that they met before the Traveler woke up on the beach
I never got the impression that they met in the AQ/SQ by watching them

>>1773555
It would, but that construct will only come when they shill cryo and it's going away next patch.
Nod-Krai also focuses on Hydro so it'll be gone until Skirk's rerun.

>>1773555
>>1773826
It wouldn't because she wants a full freeze team, and you just don't have the characters for it.

>vertical investor's faces when stygian onslaught exists and they can't build enough teams or brute force it with the characters they have
you'd think they would have learned after imaginarium theater came out that horizontal account investment is generally the better play.

>>1773937
Dunno, man. I can clear visionary mode just fine but I can't even clear menace here. Probably could do it if not for the 0 starting energy (already using r5 fav weps on all of my sup).

>>1773937
The wonders of roll for who you like.

>>1773972
account variety is the future. it's going to be a better approach to c0r1 4 or 5 characters, even ones you don't really like, a patch cycle instead of c6r5ing the one 1 or 2 characters you do like. boss enemies are becoming mechanics checks more often than not.

>>1773937
You need both. It's not just having the characters that makes you beat Fearless or 240s Dire.

>>1773972
Not really, because all it takes is for one restrictive boss to be tailored to a character you don't like for you to not clear Stygian.

>>1773982
>It's not just having the characters
its not, but having access to certain characters can certainly make things easier. i can't wait to see the reaction to the 5.8 stygian onslaught with papilla and the turtle, these enemies already filter enough players as is.

What even is Stygian, I haven't played in a while. Do you get gems for it?

>>1773990
Papilla might be cancer because while the best teams to clear these ele hit puzzles are pre-Fontaine, their DPS ceilings aren't high. And considering this thing has a stronger shield and far more HP than Abyss 12, it MIGHT be a nightmare, especially with 0 energy starts (and you can't trigger Favonius on its shield phase)

Tortoise depends on the writing of the new buffs. If they count off-fielder damage for the ward this time, it's going to be really bad for everyone, as we'll have to play like the Cocijo limited hit achievement, but hard mode.

Cactus we'll have to wait and see. Ineffa is obviously the solution they want, but without her artifact set and her teammates, I don't think her damage will be high, so standard Ororon taser teams will probably keep up.

>>1774129
New endgame mode, once per patch. Yes you get gems on clears up to Difficulty 3 (Hard), which is like Abyss 9-10 difficulty (and can be done in co-op if need be).
Higher difficulties provide the new Dust of Enlightenment to reroll artifact substats, and on whale difficulty (Dire) you get a special weapon skin to show off until the next Stygian reset.

For the first 10 days of Stygian, you can also use it to farm artifacts, getting an extra artifact every 120 resin spent, making it the most efficient and fastest way (can do it on diff 3) to grind while it's available.

>>1774150
papilla is chasca bait.
tortoise is mualani bait.
cactus is ineffa bait.

>>1773982
>because all it takes is for one restrictive boss to be tailored to a character you don't like for you to not clear Stygian.
Yeah? Which is why I said that, like in >>1773555 they don't have cryo characters for some reason so they are fucked

I didn't realize you can keep dumping resin into the domain for bonuses even after throwing 1200 resin at it. Getting tired of this shit.

>>1774233
>don't have cryo characters for some reason
Not every cryo are useful for that boss. For example I only have Euler and Layla decently invested which isn't that much of a help.

>>1774208
We're talking about doing bosses without the intended characters, illiterate faggot.

>>1774250
It's only for 10 days total, then we go back to slow farming domains again.

>>1774339
Layla should be alright no? She won't reach the cryo application threshold alone but should help a fair bit.

>>1766151 (OP)
kneeling to revenue kings

>>1774558
The question is, was it Skirk or was it Stygian?
If it's the latter, it'll surely start infesting the other games.

>>1773990
I don't think I've ever fought this turtle
what does it do?

>>1774693
assuming that it will work just like the local legend, when you hit it with an attack, it will build up a meter and when that meter maxes out it creates a shield. when its shield is up it has enhanced damage and is immune to damage, and any melee attacks against it result in a counterattack for a shitload of damage. so the gimmick is that you need to kill it in as few hits as possible so as not to activate its shield.

asking gpt-chan about nahida

>>1776034

>>1774550
>Layla should be alright no
Nope. Still can't clear Menacing even with her and I can already clear Hard/world boss in seconds while ignoring the gimmick. Thinking of raising Diona but there's not much time left so whatever.

Freminet is pretty rapeable. If I was a woman, he would have to watch his back.

>>1776084
father no

>>1776075
just put your UID here and we'll help you clear Menacing in coop

>>1776221
Isn't co-op only available in the three easiest modes?

>>1776297
You can play every difficulty in co-op, including Dire (6).
Rewards only start being single-player only starting at Fearless (5), so yes you can get all primogem rewards and one Dust all in co-op. You'd just be missing the second Dust and the weapon skins.

I got the reunion thing again, but I've been forgetting to log in and redeem, again

my skirk...

>>1776698
F

This is fucking stupid.

>>1776958
what? you don't like insane levels of power scaling?

>>1776958
His appearance looks too stupid for someone of this bearing. They must've retconned the abyss knight in the narwhal to be Surtalogi internally.

>>1776958
The powerlevel scaling is absolutely ridiculous when you have this amazing big dick shadow abyss knight dude that travels the universe and his apprentice (which is going to surpass him) plays like keqing with bigger numbers
I mean, skirk is cool and I like her moveset but she doesn't really gives me the impression of someone that incredibly strong. It's almost as if you had Gameplay, Character Lore and Overarching Setting Lore and the three are in odds with each other.

>>1777332
game isn't designed for engaging combat, sadly

>>1777570
It's not even that, you simply can't have both "catgirl bartender :3" and "SINNER, THE DEVOURER OF STARS" as playable characters without running into either ridiculous balancing issues or balancing them to gameplay and thus underseling the actual power of powerful characters. Like, if you make Alice playable, she'd end up being a sidegrade to a fucking chinese chef lmao

>>1777584
Since playing the AQ and Skirk SQ, I've been thinking that one year from now, there's a chance that we'll look back and say that 5.7 was the patch where Genshin jumped the shark. Of course the seeds were sown years ago, but in the span of one patch we were shown Skirk in space, told that there are other human-like races that inhabit other planets, and told that Surtalogi is so powerful that he can basically do anything, on a galactic level. They changed the stakes of the setting in a really jarring way and this absurdity can be summed up by the dichotomy between
>"catgirl bartender :3" and "SINNER, THE DEVOURER OF STARS"
in a way that Diona and Venti (Barbatos, a god who terraformed a country thousands of years ago) doesn't.

>>1777702
Agreed. For the longest time, Genshin felt self-contained to Teyvat, its rules and the possibility of it being a created reality/simulation. And while there were always some hints and clues about "somewhere beyond" existing, the stakes being galactic level now makes it all feel so insignificant. Even the strongest characters were still city-level at most (Raiden, Prime Zhongli, Venti etc), and the supposedly god-like entities were still bound by rules, like Celestia, the shades, etc. Ronova appearing in the sky has zero impact now that there's a character that can go "lol boom your planet is destroyed xD".
I really hope I'm being overly pessimistic but all this makes me care less and less about the overarching lore, which used to be my favorite thing about the game.

I still love Sumeru the most.

>>1777708
>>1777702
>>1777584
Gonna be honest fellas, I'm here for the cute guys and girls, and have never had a more complex thought about this game other than:
>He/She looks so cool/cute, can't wait to get/play/test them

>>1777739
Different strokes for different folks.

>>1777741
Like, its a good game don't get me wrong, but I doubt hoyo but half as much thought in the powerscaling and lore, as they do in
>How can we make sure this next character will have petabytes of porn drawn of them in the next 3 weeks?
Still, any game with characters such as diving and mechanic autist or iraqi child detonation specialist deserves to be held to a decent standard, mobile or not

>>1777747
>but I doubt hoyo but half as much thought in the powerscaling and lore, as they do in
>>How can we make sure this next character will have petabytes of porn drawn of them in the next 3 weeks?
I think they put the same amount of thought into both. I think there is a team of people whose job it is to write the story and research people and places and go on trips to get inspiration on how to write the story. There is at least one guy whose job it has been to work on the plot of this billion-dollar game for 8 hours a day for the past 5 years. It has to amount to something.
But I also like the game beacuse it can be enjoyed without giving a shit about lore or story and that the characters and world are charming enough on their own.

Happy birthday, Barbruh~

>>1777849

Wait, you can't farm artifacts in the stygian onslaught event anymore?

>>1778005
Nope, that's only during the first ten days of each SO lineup

>>1778032
Huh, I somehow thought that it was permanent. At least I don't feel the pressure to keep spending my resin on that, I guess. ty!

Direidyth is so cute, bros

>>1778085
It's over Loomie. This is my new imoutowife. We will never see each other again.

wait you can't farm artifacts in stygian anymore?
fuck this mode

>still can claim the feather
phew i thought I was screwed. Well, more than I already am

>>1778236
Only 10 days per patch, it's why people say to save up fragile resin for it.

Is the 5.8 event on a separate map from the rest of Teyvat? Or is it a temporary event in the permanent 5.8 map?

How do you guys go about farming artifacts? Focus on the most resin efficient domain and strongbox the rest? Focus on one character at a time? Scrape together functional builds then slowly perfect them? Disregard them entirely? I ask because what I'm doing doesn't seem to be working and I'm getting a bit frustrated with it.

Shiii how long is this Imagined Arrays events, decided to log in and see what's going on and there's six hours left

>>1779665
I rarely do it, but I kinda just get the stuff that you can throw on a bunch of characters

>>1779710
>>1779665
Oh yeah example, the dungeon with shimenawa, I don't even know how many of my guys have something from there

>>1779665
Depends on who you want to focus on. I have a ton of GT and MH characters so I lock myself in there. My Navia uses 4GT instead of her signature because I don't want to spend the resources on a set just for her and get some useless Song of Days Past artys.
>I ask because what I'm doing doesn't seem to be working and I'm getting a bit frustrated with it.
Are you a newer player? Just spend a week's worth of resin on each character you want to build and call it a day. The worse your artifacts are the easier it is to find upgrades and vice versa so it's easy to get started with a serviceable build.
If your character isn't level 81/90 and skills 8/8 don't even bother with artifacts before doing that shit.

>>1779665
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUYkV5wdQ1w

>>1779665
I just throw my daily resin at some generalist set like MH/GT or Emblem/Shima.

>>1779665
I've been playing since 1.0 so I already have dozens of generalist artifact sets lying around. For example, my Navia used 2pc + 2pc atk% sets for the longest time until I had the patience to farm her BiS set. At some point you'll have enough unused pieces that you can make every character playable without breaking a sweat. After farming talents and stuff I move on to artifact farming. Usually getting into top 5~10% of the akasha is enough for me.

>>1779752
I forgot about this video; very clarifying. Thanks Anon.

Think I'll farm leylines for the mora and work through leveling all my "maybe" artifacts until the next onslaught. Probably shouldn't have let them pile up so much anyway.

>>1779750
No, I'm not a new player. I think I'm just getting bored with that domain (codex/scroll since I have a bunch of Natlan units and it's not in the strongbox) and the Akasha rankings got into my head. My fault for looking them up and being a prideful little shit to begin with (apparently the character I'm most inclined to spoil, and uses codex, is barely top 40% and all the roll values are mid... and I've been farming it daily since Januaryish).

I'm not the most focused when it comes to strong boxing for the rest of my roster either... so a lot of those builds still need a lot of work (sometimes with basic shit like proper main stats and sufficient ER). Speaking of, you can get Navia's signature set that way now if you were so inclined.

>>1779787
Should probably go live in Emblem after I sort my shit out.

>>1779981
I lived in the Emblem mines for a year and a half
I hate that domain almost as much as the original version of the Mondstadt talent domain.

>>1779981
>apparently the character I'm most inclined to spoil, and uses codex, is barely top 40% and all the roll values are mid... and I've been farming it daily since Januaryish
How's that possible? Not even the sweatiest meta-est Mavuika melt leaderboards can let you do that unless you have Bennett-tier luck. Post that shit.

>>1780057
Capped Mavuika too (top 45% apparently; dunno why Akasha defaulted to overload though); I'll post her next.

>>1780057
>>1780135

>>1780135
>>1780137
Wtf mang? My condolences but your artifact luck is fucked up. You should consider crafting a pyro goblet and hoping for good flowers to come around because the thing you're using now is abysmal. If Kinich is your husbando (ghey) then get a sands for him because atk sands are pretty hard to come by.

>>1779981
Akasha are for the mentally ill. Just stop going there, even makes less sense nowadays with people having Dust and Elixirs to tune their artifacts.
Just live in the newest artifact domain until the next one comes out. Strongbox for any old sets you may still require.

I lost 50/50 on Skirk so I'm just gonna permahibernate all of my resources for Durin. I have 13 limited pulls right now.
Maybe I can get enough to win him and the rigged weapon banner by 6.3 if I just never pull until he comes out

>>1781604
Don't have any other claymore characters that can use it? CCs all seem to think it's the best generalist claymore these days. Stygian might tie up your other copy if you do get it, anyway (though that doesn't seem so restrictive on character equipment).

>>1780700
Won my 50/50 for her!

>>1780285
I wonder what durin's constellation will be. A dragon would be cool but it could be a lot of things

Won the 50/50 at 80 pulls and whipped up this nice sands for her from the artifact machine.

This event sucked lol

>>1781761
The controllable mobs were kind of stupid though, like they all pretty much did the same shit and it was a gamble if you could upgrade any. It's like 0 incentive to give a crap of any of the few mechanics it had. Other than that I kind of relied on the participation buffs for dying

>>1781761
Yeah. The very simple Paimon game was better too.

I'm new to the game who are they and why are they hyped? Are they some of the Khaenri'ah people?

columbina bros we won
>>1781828
they are the shades of the primordial one (an alien being that shaped teyvat after fighting a war with the native dragon species that originally ruled the planet), the shade of space (asmonday) is the chick from the opening cutscene of the game that the player character and their sibling are fighting. this is the first time we have seen the other shades in their actual character form. throughout the game they get mentioned in a bunch of hidden and optional side content, and only just recently did they get brought to the main-stage of the story.

Boring, adds nothing except giving some background characters a look, and it's wrong to release these videos outside of the game; newcomers won't even understand who these characters are.

>>1781877
Given how different she look from her silhouette (top left picture), it seems like this is Rhinedottir's appearance rather than Naberius (who adopted Rhinedottir's appearance once she was eaten and became a tulpa).

>>1781949
given what the game tells us we have to assume that naberius was partially destroyed or at least dismantled in some way in the past, rhinedottir only found her heart in some underground dungeon and that's what she consumed to fuse with her.

>>1781945
>background characters
Being the ones that created the current Teyvat as we know it (after submitting the dragons) and the rulers of Celestia hardly make them background characters. And they've also received more direct attention in the recent AQs.
>it's wrong to release these videos outside of the game; newcomers won't even understand who these characters are.
You're 5 years too late to complain about that. Plus these videos are usually advertised in the announcements in-game too.

So pretty much everyone outside of NPCs

>>1782272
>engshit

>>1782321
The shades of the primordial one (the first descender/usurper who conquered the dragons and created people); they've taken a more active hand in recent AQs (Raiden's second SQ too as a less world quest/side content part) and some have relationships with current or past archons (Venti, Egeria, etc). The one we saw at the start of the game is the shade of space; >>1781881 is death (eyeballs at the end of Natlan AQ), >>1781877 life (also Rhinedottir, who you might remember as Albedo, Durin and Elynas creator), doesn't look like anyone posted Istaroth yet and she's the shade of time (Venti's creator, meddled in Raiden's SQ, Enkanomiya, recent Dain quest if I'm reading what people have said about it so far).

>>1782351
Venti should be voiced as that was all recorded, I'm surprised you're encountering scenes without it

>>1782351

There was some blurry 50x50 pixel picure of Hu Tao in a dress being passed around and that was fanart given it looked nothing like the actual skin

>>1785609
because these leakers are probably part of some unimportant team, and they don't know any insider info unless it's like in pre-beta status

>>1785891
the leakers just make shit up. all the real leakers from the past are gone, purged after the massive fontaine/concept art leak mid-sumeru. the current contingent of leakers are the same people who said before natlan that xblanaque was the most important character in natlan and he was hoyo's favorite boy and he was gonna be the strongest on field dps in the game, and the year before they were the guys saying that sandrone was gonna be the main focus harbinger of fontaine and that arlecchino was going to die and there was going to be a battle between two factions in fontaine and navia was the head of one of them and all sorts of other nonsense that ended up not being remotely true.

>>1784924
I want to fuck Alice's 25 year old(actually over 500 or whatever) pussy and give Albedo and Klee new step siblings

>>1785898
Unless those were the original plans. Considering the previous AQ, I doubt the original plans for Natlan included the Traveler as the national hero and his stupid parade at the end of the war and other things that happen in the AQ.

>>1785953
>Unless those were the original plans.
it's not like these leaks came out years before their respective versions, if the leakers are giving us years old plot synopses only a few weeks before the version they are supposed to be leaking then the most charitable take is that they are just really bad at leaking information, but its much more likely that they are just making it up.
>I doubt the original plans for Natlan included the Traveler as the national hero and his stupid parade at the end of the war and other things that happen in the AQ.
based on what evidence? did it come to you in a dream? did da wei tell you? is your argument that because you didn't like it, that means they must have rewritten the entire archon quest at the 11th hour, only a couple weeks from release?

>>1785953
>I doubt the original plans for Natlan included the Traveler as the national hero and his stupid parade at the end of the war
I mean that's the least unbelievable thing that happened in Natlan.

Remember when Sara was supposed to be a feared general and now she's just comic relief

>>1785956
In previous AQ, the Traveler were the trigger that unlocked the nation's problems and made such a difference that without them, things probably wouldn't have gone well, however, in Natlan, despite their continued participation in various events, their role doesn't seem as decisive as in the past.

>>1785986
It seems undeserved, if the Traveler is a hero who deserves a parade, then so are all those who participated in the war, perhaps even more.

>>1786000
okay, but natlan having mediocre story moments doesn't mean they rewrote it, which your first post claiming that you doubt it was the original plan for natlan implies. it's entirely reasonable to assume that they just wrote a mediocre story in the first place. there is no need for some conspiracy that they scrapped the original draft for natlan just to make it worse. this is the genshin writing team we are talking about after all, that is probably the best they could do with the type of story they wanted to tell for the nation.

No no no. Natlan, Fontaine and Inazuma AQ totally had an awesome story involving a civil war originally. But they had to awkwardly wrap up Inazuma and completely change Fontaine and Natlan AQ when Da Wei joined the CCP since CCP hates anything civil war related because it goes against their One united China policy.
Sumeru was left relatively unscathed because it was less a civil war and more shutting down nerds that were trying to go against god.
It came to me in a dream. Listen and believe.

Fontaine > Liyue > Mondstadt > Inazuma > Natlan

>>1785821
Yeah, I'll put it on Furina once I have the pieces to swap it in without losing 40% ER, a fair bit of crit rate, and her set bonus.

>>1785898
>xblanaque was the most important character in natlan and he was hoyo's favorite boy and he was gonna be the strongest on field dps in the game
So Mavuika?

>battle between two factions in fontaine and navia was the head of one of them
I mean they did keep some of this but degraded it to courtroom drama and a cutscene with the gardemeks. It does make sense that was the original plan, though, since they did nothing with the environmental storytelling of Poison and the waterways vs the obvious wealth of the surface city (which begs the question of why it's like that).

>>1785953
The constant glazing was the worst part of Natlan imo. I do think they should've given the heroes a bit more of a role since they were so dramatic about finding all of them in the earlier parts of the AQ only to basically have them stand there and look pretty (and ideally would've made the end less cringe). The Traveler taking a key role at the end isn't necessarily terrible (even if the execution was clearly aimed at a shounen-enjoyers audience and cringe for everyone else) since we've done that before and the traveler is how we experience the story.

But the constant glazing... It's like they decided to model actual warriors after SJWs instead of real world soldiers or something. Real people don't do that shit.

>>1786048
Yeah the problem here is CCP censorship (why do they always go after the few half decent stories China makes the second they're a little anti government authority? Even in series that glaze the CCP and are set on toppling some other authority???). I imagine the writers thought they would get away with a civil war in Inazuma since it was set in not!Japan rather than not!China... but they cracked down and left the writing team scrambling to make something that made sense (I think we would've preferred them taking a bit more time with it or retconning). They seem to be erring on the side of caution for the other regions.

>>1786216
>replies to an ironic post with complete sincerity

I like this coop event. Furinas also have gotten better.

>he unleashed more than 5 elemental bursts? quick, give him the accolade

>>1786462
It's a consolation prize. What else do you want to say? This player did fuck all? He died 12 times? Has dealt the least amount of damage? I mean it could go towards a fun direction in regards to player "insults", but most modern people would get offended. They already feel offended by the fact that they have to go coop where they get compared to players better than they are.

Happy birthday Cute Tao!

The element check is pure bait and will actively fuck you over if you and your team get baited into picking only the checked elements. Fuck that worthless bonus, what you need is to just look at the enemy list and pick a team for raw damage.

>shields will break with plunge damage
>not one team member uses the updrafts to plunge attack

Any predictions for Nodkrai? I think we will save Columbina from the Fatui and the cliffhanger will be the heavenly principles wakening

>>1786565
I celebrated it by fapping to her drunk raoe doujin.

>>1786811
columbina will become the new moon goddess.
the dottore burning the tree scene will finally occur in the story.
dottore dies.
we don't really know enough about what is going on in nod-krai to make really extensive predictions, but i think these are all pretty likely at this point.

>>1786811
Pretty sure the story will go beyond the usual ~3 or so patches this time, wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being divided into several sub-campaigns or whatever you want to call it

Columbina and Ronova will DIE

>>1787269
columbina in the trailer has the split hair with an ass window so she's definitely playable

I'm thinking C0R1. C1R1, even.

streamogems friday

I will save up my precious gems for later, but I will also seriously roll for one character during Nod-Crysis
I need good Hydro, or Geo, or Electro.
I will not roll for Fatui or Shades or Hexy Witches. I would return Lynette and Mona if I could.

I will only roll for lore significant characters now.

>>1787897
I will however roll for Abyss Order characters, Sinners (except for Rhinedottir who will DIE), Dainsleif, and other characters if I like their trials and/or designs.

>>1789093

>>1789093
genshin players will never be pleased with any future designs because it doesn't give them nostalgia for 3 years ago when they weren't burnt out on the game.

>>1789096
I've never been burnt out from Genshin and I'm a day wunner

>>1789083
Okay sometimes I take issue with this complaint but that is straight up a zzz throwaway design they fished out of a bin

i can't wait for another year of hearing people bitch about how genshin fell off (again)

>>1789107
It's okay to criticize something, anon. You don't have to force yourself to like everything that gets put into the game.

>new character from Nod-Krai is a Dendro lady which doesn't match with any character from the list of leaked chars
And to the surprise of absolutely no one, it turns out that leakers were once again making shit up.

>>1789109
i can't take their criticism seriously when they have been saying it for nearly 3 years at this point, at some point they just need to accept the game isn't for them anymore and stop playing.

>>1789112
Not liking certain character designs doesn't mean you hate the entire game though? You're overreacting and getting mad at people for no reason.

Where bina

>>1789113
It's all they talk about, so yes I think it's fine to extrapolate that they don't enjoy the game.

>>1789087
danke

>>1789115
>so yes I think it's fine to extrapolate that they don't enjoy the game.
That's a very childish reaction.

>>1789113
all they ever do is bitch, they bitch about the story, they bitch about the character design, they bitch about the combat being braindead, they bitch about the powercreep, they bitch about the exploration. what do they actually like about the game at that point? i see the same content creators make the same complaints every single patch and they still come crawling back.

>>1789121
>content creators
Grifters are not representative of actual players and you shouldn't be watching them to begin with.

>>1789122
yeah but they spread the negativity to the greater internet and its a poison.

Kind of disappointed the teaser at the end of the livestream only showed one character, I had hoped it'd be like the one they did for Natlan where we at least saw Kachina, Mualani and Kinich. I guess they did show Aino during the main livestream though so it somewhat evens out
Anyway take this with an overwhelmingly massive grain of salt (especially until we get the full trailer in like 1 or 2 weeks) but this list for like a month ago said there'd be a dendro knife ear hag in 6.0 so make of that whatever you will

>>1789126
i have a feeling there will still be more teasers before 6.0, possibly like the lead up to sumeru since we know so little about nod-krai and its such an important place.

>>1789126
>>1789131
I'm gonna guess we'll get the big Nod-Krai during Gamescom opening night stream

>>1789131
At the bare minimum we're still due for the regional equivalent of Fontaine's Overture and Natlan's Ignition teaser
Those were uploaded 7 and 10 days after the livestream so we'll probably see the larger portion of the cast before this month is over

>>1789096
I love being a Genshin player that's not burnt out. Natlan was the best thing to ever happen to the game for me after Fontaine nearly made me quit.

is Aigis looking strong, or is she safely skippable?

>>1789147
Not burnt out but man the Natlan AQ was so underwhelming to me, and I really dislike the Saurian mechanic.
That being said the world quests with our little buddy were kino

>>1789149
Exact opposite for me, I love Natlan's AQ. First time I've been genuinely excited and hyped during one since 3.2. I do think it could've been paced better, but I was overall happy with how it went. helped that I did all the reputation stuff beforehand and got all the extra scenes.

>>1789148
it's hard to say because we don't know future character's kits. the last similar case character was emilie, who also released on the final patch of fontaine and she held up through natlan, it's possible ineffa will do the same. being able to crit with electro charged is going to be nice for a lot of characters though, yae miko may finally be freed from the shackles of aggravate.

>>1789085
Absolute sex!

>>1789148
So far she looks mid, but keep in mind we lack her Nod-Krai artifact set (which if Natlan and Fontaine are anything to go by, it'll be extremely strong) and her dedicated partners (The Skirk to her Effie)

It's a future investment like Nilou and Emilies were.

>>1789089
Missed the stream. When is she coming out? Is she in 6.0?

>>1789164
probably since they showed her but we have zero information beyond this

>>1789126
I kind of expected them to do what they did last time, a silhouette of characters to come

>>1789083
Missed the stream, I legit cannot even guess which nation is she supposed to belong to. Shittiness would skew me towards N*tlan but this feels out of place even for them.

>>1789185
If I hadn't watched the livestream and someone showed me the image and told me it was from a Hoyoverse game I would have guessed she was from ZZZ and not Genshin

>>1789121
You shouldn't follow content creators, and the opposite of what you say is also true. If someone tries to criticize the game, people immediately come to Mihoyo's defense. The playerbase is simply too big, and the bigger it is, the easier it is for groups of people who are dissatisfied for one reason or another to form.

>>1789211
its funny seeing people make the same complaints years later that were made about raiden shogun when she was revealed, having her whole ass pussy out and saying she looks like an npc were both very common complaints about raiden's design and people are using them again for this new character.

>>1789212
Part of that idea stems from expectations; ultimately, Natlan was the nation of war, but not the one many expected.

>>1789211
More nudity is just more nudity; a character can be sexy without showing a shred of skin; you just need to play on other factors like personality, voice, posture, etc. It must be said that due to Genshin's limited animations, it is a difficult task to achieve.

>>1789212
The way Natlan handled the theme of war was retarded but complaining that they're laid back is also retarded when one of the first things we learned about Natlan way back in 2.0 is that it's home to legendarily chill and relaxing hot springs.

>>1789211
I mean, I'm not a fan of the THOT designs either but that's because they detract from who we're told the characters are supposed to be (especially considering this is coming from a Chinese game and CN players regularly lose their minds if their waifu so much as talks to a dude; I guess they're so addicted to eye candy they don't mind if she looks like a whore) or they're just ugly (I mean the way the front of Navia's or Raiden's design is handled below the waist.. ugh; there had to be a more elegant option than that shit).

the characters should be wearing even less clothing and there should be no male characters at all (besides the mc). the gacha gaming space should only exist for degenerate, horny men.

>>1789235

according to hoyo's official demographic data, the number of individuals (not accounts) who have played genshin impact has crossed 300 million since launch. with the player population being an even split of 50/50 between china and global, the player base being 60/40 male to female players with a growing number of female players, and 70% of the player base being between the ages of 18-30.

>>1789714
don't care. just release waifus in skimpy outfits, and I'll give you my money. simple as.

>>1789714
nod krai will be a male heavy region

>>1789723
i doubt it, i bet we get three 5* male characters and the rest will be female.

>>1789723
lol

>>1789722
Too skimpy risks censorship and alienates that segment of players who don't want to be associated with gooners and the like, and Hoyo isn't stupid.

>>1789723
They will never make the mistake of Sumero and the first part of Fontaine, at most there will be three 5* and maybe one or two 4*.

>>1789776
>They will never make the mistake of Sumero and the first part of Fontaine
since hoyo have now openly stated that the amount of female players has only been growing based on their demographic data, then the character gender ratio "issue" is obviously inconsequential and the narrative that massive amounts of female players are leaving the game because there are no husbandos is just fujoshi cope. their data only reinforces their choice of making more female characters as the correct move.

>>1789668
>Benny's nightsoul makes the buff follow you
>RIP Iansan enjoyers

>>1789723
Good, just like Sumeru let me save for the Fontaine ladies, this will let me save for her

>>1789865
I want more Yoimiyas and Chioris as playable characters and less Neuvillettes and Skirks.

Personally wouldn't mind a few more male characters. A 30/70 or 40/60 split in 5 stars would be fine but going all girls feels like the gooners are winning. It gives people who aren't interested time to save and keeps the fujo whining to a low roar (why don't they just go play Love in Deep Space or whatever that game is called?) while giving people who are interested the option of husbandos or cool dudes to SI as.

dubs and I stop farming emblem

>>1789885
They should just give Elixirs as event rewards just like Star Rail and ZZZ do with theirs artifact grinding is CANCER how many fucking Goblet DEF% do I have to fucking see before I can get an EM one

>>1789865
Ronova is a bitch and deserves to die

>>1766424
And just like that Im back in. Haven't played in like 2 years

>>1789904
seethe

>>1789910
The power of clanker pussy.

>>1789896
fr I think I'd pick elixirs over primos. I think it'd be interesting to see what stats or deadlines the devs/hoyo are looking at for decision making. Like maybe they're trying to get genshin plays to play their other games, because if they're losing players to wuwa it would make sense to incentivize them to play ZZZ which from what I've played on wuwa, it's basically the same fighting mechanics

I don't mind the mindlessness of grinding, it's just that needing resin makes it take more days than it should

August IT is looking terrible for me.

>text: auto
>audio: muted
Yep, it's Heizou's anecdote time.

>>1789942
How can he and Ayato be so fucking boring?

>>1789942
I had to talk to heizou like three or four different times and he kept saying the same shit. Idk if it was supposed to be like that or if it was something being patched or a glitch

>>1789942
I have no idea when the last time Heizou actually spoke was. Hes been either muted or ignored and not in events for years now, forgotten character

>>1789942
me but for 90% of the cast

>>1789927
If Genshin is losing players to WuWa, it's only because of the waifus and the change in direction towards ML, otherwise Genshin remains better despite all its problems.

Anyway, I agree, the elixir as an event reward would be a great QoL, but from what I understand, those managing Genshin are very reluctant to give away truly useful stuff to players.

>>1789970
After a little research, I think I've found the best thing to do is to level up a shit 5 star artifact to level 12 using shit 4 star artifacts from farming and then converting those to elixir. Seems to be working so far
I never really looked into the transmuter until today because they were supposed to fuck with it or there might've been a certain strategy regarding substat rerolls after that stuff came out (I think I remember reading some people got rid of their transmuted artifacts that had shitty rolls and then they wasted the elixir used before substat rerolling came out)

>>1790010
The fuck you doing? Level up artifacts that might be good to +4. If it's a dud, throw it in the transmuter. The point is that you can check the fourth line of potentially good 3-liners. Don't waste artifact exp by leveling up useless shit, and to +12 even.

>>1790024
I didn't think 12 was that high
This is what I've been generally been farming for and doing
>keep artifact if it has crit rate and crit damage
>keep artifacts if it has crit rate and er
>keep crit damage circlet if it has crit rate and ER
>keep crit rate circlet with crit damage and ER
I have a few artifacts of each piece so I can have 4 or 5 (maybe 6) characters using four piece emblem with different builds. My last piece needs to be an ER sand with crit substat(s) or an electro goblet with ER and crits (which I already have but it's not emblem). Anything good for other builds is just icing on the cake at this point. Before transmuting I had about 200 artifacts that don't fit the criteria to keep. If I farmed another hundred pieces I'd probably get what I want, or I can just use the random shit to feed the transmuter get the piece now and I probably won't think about artifacts until I have enough primos for columbina.

If it makes someone feel better my dumbass just transmuted an ER sands for finale of the deep instead of emblem. I'll think about artifact farming again in a few months.

>>1790043
I hope you are keeping the ones with crit + (atk%, def%, hp%) too depending on the characters you're building. Rolls into the main scaling stat aren't insignificant.

>>1789904
How is she a bitch? She's definitely going to be the sheltered girl that feels flustered and lost being released from Phanes' rules when she's playable.

>>1790141
What makes you think this? Not that I have high hopes for the four shades, considering the mentality of Chinese gacha gamers.

>>1790288
Because she very strongly cares about the rules, over everything else, and will follow them no matter what. She also showed discomfort/anxiety with her body gesture when hearing that Asmoday might have gotten a different master, and was also upset when Istaroth was just doing whatever she wanted.

She's the sheltered one, Istaroth is probably the cheerful one (I wager she's only bored with Gods' affairs, and genuinely likes humans, as she's the Shade that has interacted and helped humanity the most) and Rhine just does whatever she wants (Naberius probably just wants to see life thrive, so just lets everything happen).

These are just suppositions, but all 3 could easily be made playable under these pretenses once they have their shackles removed.

>>1790293
I hope they're never made playable.

>>1790297
the funny part is if they get released at the end of the Teyvat Chapter, they'll get powercrept immediately after, like how Honkai 3rd Pt2 just completely destroyed the past characters by revising the battle system... only for the Part 2 cast.

>>1790293
>Naberius probably just wants to see life thrive
Naberius was the one who gets under Rhine's skin because Rhine isn't respectful enough to the Master or the Rules. Naberius was the one who told Rhine she wouldn't allow even the thought of disloyalty from her, despite having no agency.
Naberius is every bit the loyalist that Ronova is. And probably is the one who told her boss about Egeria's transgressions.
Whether that's all her own feelings or is enforced upon her as a Shade (like with the Angels) on the other hand is questionable.

>>1790052
Yeah I probably have a few

>>1790297
Naberius/Rinhe, Ronova, and Asmoday don't have complex designs, but with the current state of the game, I don't see them making Istaroth playable; her design is more elaborate.

>>1790298
If the Teyvat chapter has an end, Nod-Krai wasn't in the Travail trailer, so Hoyo may find other ways to extend the main story.

Space hussy.

>>1790396
Don't need complex designs, we're out of vtuber-land Natlan.

>>1790043
You are wasting EXP if you feed the transmuter stuff that is higher than 6+

>>1790411
>we're out of vtuber-land Natlan.
haha yeah
>>1789314

>>1790448
>You are wasting EXP if you feed the transmuter stuff that is higher than 6+
NTA but as a day 1 player I can confidently say that I don't give a shit anymore

>>1790452
Same. I let resin cap many times when I have other things to do, why would I care about something as minute as that.

I will never permit my resin to cap. It must be used without exception for my campaign rages without end.

>>1790513
do you not play other games?

>>1790513
That sounds exhausting Anon

>>1790401

Can't believe they replaced seelies with bangboos

>>1791094
I'd bang a boo if you catch my drift

when i think about aino and ineffa and the clink-clank krumkake workshop this is all i can think of and i'm pretty sure that's hoyo's intention.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-zZG_i4T_A

newest freshest schizo
6.0 male is electro polearm from the lightkeepers
6.0 free character is aino, hydro claymore.
the other character is lauma obviously, dendro catalyst, does lunar bloom which makes bloom cores crit (rip c2 nahida)

>>1791093
thats MEAN

>>1791122
The Aino part is probably right, 4* with new mechanics and after all someone has to get the new free claymore.

>>1791122
hyperbloom good again? we'll see.
Shame I need a filthy male to make Ineffa good just like Emilie.

>>1791122
Shame lunar charged reactions will probably all be straight upgrades to everything else to force people to pull for Nodkraiggers

>>1791190
ineffa and emilie are more versatile than kinich and whoever this dude is at least. on field dps characters have a much higher chance of falling off in the long run.

>>1791208
what does Ineffa do? I haven't seen any of the leaks for her

>>1791217
she is an electro sub-dps/shielder and having her on your team changes electro-charged reactions into lunar-charged, allowing it to critical hit. which is a fairly significant increase to electro-charge team damage. she is pretty good as is based on the beta info, but she might get even better depending on what the 6.0 artifact sets do.

>>1791098

bloombros rise up?

>>1791019
>>1791020
Just login at the same hour everyday for 2 minutes, wtf

>>1791122
>have to wait to 6.0 to get a hydro claymore
Wonder if anyone is still doing those weapon only challenges.

>Elf is Bloom
Hm. She was pretty enough I wanted to pull for her but the bloom archetype kills a lot of my desire to do so. Guess it's wait and see time.

>>1791363
Yeah that works only when you have nothing going on or only a very regular schedule.

>>1791363
I just don't care that much anymore.
I've got like 550 wishes banked right now so I skip commissions a lot of days too

>>1791360
>more stackslop
instant skip

I want 893 wishes in my bank right now this instant immediately

>>1791360
That's nice but they are hell-bent on making aoe effects worse than single target damage because every fucking endgame combat challenge is a timed single target boss fight in a circular arena.

its almost certain at this point that sandrone is a mary-ann bot made by alain guillotin.

Columbina isn't being introduced as a Fatui Harbringer, so I'm going to have to see what's up with that.

>>1791717

>>1791659
dining, then consentual sex, only after marriage. my beautiful, beautiful wife~

>>1791679
This is the electrocharged guy? With the spooky flame theme he's got you'd think he would be more tuned to overload if restricted at all.

>>1791794
it should be yeah, he should be the first banner character of 6.0. the leakers did say that he was an electro-charged dps but i do agree he looks more like an overload character from the animation. wouldn't be the first time leakers have been wrong.

I imagine Columbina will be the "Archon" of Nod-Krai, as for the rest, none of these characters really appeal to me, so it will depend on the story, the kit and above all how flexible they are, I hope that Genshin doesn't increasingly end up like HSR and WuWa when it comes to teambuilding.

waiting for the first r/dottoremains suicide after the trailer, they are absolutely fucking losing it right now

Alain is playable confirmed

>>1791671
She looks like a sexmeru desert character

>>1791852
Won't be. He's probably going to scale off ATK, so it's probably pretty good on him nonetheless, but they won't lose the opportunity of having people pulling for another weapon if possible.

>>1791677
This is the child model, right? Now I know who I'm saving for

>>1792147
Medium

>>1792147
pretty sure its the medium girl model, she is probably gonna be proportioned like fischl/faruzan/hu tao, etc. relatively flat chested.

>>1792149
>>1792151
proofs?

>>1792156
the trailer? just look at her body proportions. she is almost the same as ineffa.

>>1792156
She looks way too big for potato model, compare her to Aino.
But still small enough to make it to my Maybe list, at least.
Especially if Aino really does end up being the 4* freebie anyway.

AND SHE IS MINE
ALL MINE!!

>>1792149
Looks like, and also hoping for. She's cute.

He's anemo so his contractually obligated dead friend must be the cavalry company's horses

Have they said anything about how the characters play, anything similar to the Natlan gimmicks or just like, they do damage of some description? I can't really see them scaling back the movement stuff now that they've gotten going, although it also felt like the early Natlan characters had the best gimmicks

>>1792295
Nod Krai gimmick will be special versions of reactions.
See Ineffa's kit for example

I hate Alice's outline of a hat
it's so dumb

>>1792295
>I can't really see them scaling back the movement stuff now that they've gotten going,
It has always been explicitly a Natlan thing.
Once we're out of Natlan, we don't have Natlan Magical Lava Fuel, so we don't have characters that use it.

Crazy how literally everyone in Nod Krai looks good and worth pulling while Natlan had like 2 worthwhile rolls

>>1792322
>everyone worth pulling
get better standards

>>1792334
post your idea of good looking characters

>>1792334
>better standards
Inazuma was the last region with characters worth pulling until now

>>1792299
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so

I am returned
Fake Mary-Ann vs Real Mary-Ann hours

>>1792299
The frame instead of a brim is odd, but I can get behind it.
But the top doesn't really convey a proper witch hat pointy bit to me, even though the shape kinda suggests one.
Which I assume is intentional, to make it a hybrid of a halo and witch hat.
But it still feels missing there.

>>1792381
Why are people saying she’s hydro? Because she was standing on water?

A question for lore experts. Before Natlan, was Nod-Krai ever mentioned in any description and/or book? According to the wiki, it was introduced in version 5.1, but perhaps some hints were given without naming it.
