Finally decided to get my controller to work for the web event and now it's really fun  Died to Lyney's third challenge like 4 times but did the final boss in a single try  It's too bad it made me remember silksong doesn't exist

Thinking back to the Arlecchino video, Fontaine Archon quest spoiler I wonder if the reason she spared Furina's life was because she felt empathy for her for also being under a curse

I'm not crying, it's just raining... And the fact that man is pretty much the same kind of evil as 'Mother', a beatific facade hiding truly vile intentions. No wonder Arlecchino just killed him.

the videos were beautifully done but I kind of...didn't want Arlecchino to have a tragic backstory/deep down, her heart is in the right place? maybe I'm alone in this

i mean it's a little cliche maybe but i'm infinitely more sick of revolutionary / anti-status quo characters in blatantly monstrous status quos being presented as sick or just as bad as the oppressors, so i'll take it murder the gods and topple their thrones

She's the only one in the Winter's Night Lazzo trailer to express anything resembling actual regret over Signora dying. quote:Pulcinella: We are gathered here today to remember our dear comrade even capitano's line feels like a bit of a cheap shot at her quote:Capitano: Though her methods tarnished her honor, Lohefalter's sacrifice is a great pity And beyond that the first thing we see her do in any real capacity is kill a child trafficker. At what point was she presented as like, this actually evil character? She's not some perfect human being, she's very extreme and she's clearly strict with the kids under her care, and she's still working for the Fatui. and she made Furina utterly terrified of her for no real reason. but she's got like, actually redemptive elements and motivation. and its executed in a way that feels way more interesting than the Childe's Little Brother quest.

I love the Childe's little brother quest but not because it makes Childe look better. It just makes him look stupid, when previously there was some room to wonder if maybe it was all an act, which is hilarious.

look everyone's allowed one archon murder and like i said that stuff happened after she was already established to have good qualities too and like. she still did that. iunno how thinking child murders are bad somehow makes her not as edgy or w/e.

So I finally did Chiori's quest and was there supposed to be a fight against Uther? Don't these things usually have a one-on-one boss fight at the end of the dungeon crawl? It just cuts abruptly from what seems to be a pre-fight cutscene to the fashion show and they say the bad guy's in prison now.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more violence. On the whole it probably wasn't much more psychologically damaging than, say, scene 175,941.

Both recruitable harbingers pre-Fontaine also had quote suggesting Arlecchino was pretty evil : "Scaramouche : About the Knave : A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self... have gone poof." "Childe : About the Knave : Look, I've got nothing against people who have their own agendas — I myself joined the Fatui to get more experience in combat. But I don't like her at all. If she stood to benefit from betraying others, she'd turn against the Tsaritsa in a heartbeat. There isn't a sane bone in her body." If even Scaramouche (who is a psycho) says she is bad, and Childe (who is a battle maniac) says she is insane, you would expect her to be a bit more than just a ruthless well-intentioned tragic heroine. It feels like they softened her once they started writing Fontaine compared to their plans during Sumeru.

If her banner is really lynette/freminet/chevreuse I'm going to pull her C0 then aim to end the banner on 73 pity.

We are kinda just dropping late/end Fontaine Archon quest spoilers here but that stuff was revealed at a point where Furina was a frustrating obstacle to any progress or acknowledgement of real issues so they seemed like sympathetic enough actions to me. Focalors was the only person with perfect knowledge of that situation and by nature couldn't say poo poo anyway. e: Oh more posts happened, whatever.

Also Scara wanted to wipe out human life on Teyvat which is worse than what Arlecchino has done.

Focalors was the only person with perfect knowledge of that situation and by nature couldn't say poo poo anyway. Yeah, like as far as Arlecchino was concerned Furina was actively a Problem to Fontaine's safety, so I don't have an issue with why she did what she did. Once she realized that there was something weird going on with Furina she backed off immediately anyways. She's a killer (like a significant chunk of the cast, including the Traveler), but she's not a monster Vincent Van Goatse posted:I like Chevy. Between the two new characters that premiered in the movie event, she should have been the 5* and Choiri the 4*

It's funny as hell that almost every reaction to the anime short is confused by the twist Also, boy does the Tsaritsa work with some awful people. Dottore is probably an already more extreme example, but when we do meet her, it will probably be rationalized as what it takes to oppose Celestia's genocidal iron fist.

I’d happily believe Scara and Childe’s insights, that she maintains a cordial persona masking insanity and that she’d betray the Tsarita in a heartbeat. She has come across as way more reasonable than other Fatui and I think of the Fatui so far she’s shown the most investment in something that isn’t the Tsarita’s goals/personal megalomaniacal goals with her attempts to save Fontaine. Perhaps this yet unseen insane side will lead us into the weekly boss. Edit: ^^ I’m hoping the Doctor is the most extreme example of the most awful the Fatui have to offer but I’m sure the one that looks like evil Baizhu will give him a run for his money, he’s just got a vibe.

Unfazed by her choking and stepping on a dude (passé), charmed by her interest in watching bugs (very cute). The Arlecchino experience. Think I'm gonna end up dropping a 50/50 on her banner and waiting for Clorinde no matter what the outcome is. It's actually a little exciting to be back in gambling mode after lucksacking thru early 5 stars and 50/50 wins for so long

That tea party scene has always bothered me because Furina not being able to say a specific solution to deadly, supernatural prophecy is supposed to make her look bad, but Arlecchino's plan was 1. Get the Gnosis, and then 2. ???.

she is not a meta-changing unit or anything but shes, Fine. shes fairly similar to hu tao but her ceiling is slightly lower, her floor is a lot higher, and she actually works in overload and monopyro teams. she is going to be a good unit but shes not neuvilette tier. id put her around the same level of power as like, alhaitham.

But is she fun? I have no doubt that she's not a replacement for my Hyperbloom team, but that's my boss fight team. I often like to default to my Beidou Taser team when running around the world.

the mechanic is basically she applies a mark to enemies, lets it sit for a few seconds (this is when you swap out and do bennett's burst and kazuha or whatever), normal attacks a bunch to consume all of the mark, repeat.
