Keen on the hygiene and on the mission like a super technician.
So in 50 rolls:

C5->C7 Xiangling
C2->C5 Freminet
C0->C1 Lynette
C0 Arlechinno

All in all, not bad.

I do like her but my main priority is rounding out my available team, and I have Jean and Eula for Wind and Cryo with Lumine for either Wind or Geo in terms of 5* characters, so her being Pyro has a lot more of my interest then when I thought she'd be competing with Eula.

e: Also my highest level character is Lumine at 70, so its more about the potential team comps at around that level (still in Liyue, I'm slow on the MSQ as I don't have a lot of time after work to do much more than dailies and some mats).
going to be honest then, you should've spent the primos on Neuvillette or Kazuha yesterday lol

Since you have so few characters it's just going to depend on how well you think you can excel at her playstyle, really might be worth just waiting until you can get Furina coming up or we get more info on the next 2 characters coming out next patch.

You can't heal her so your jean isn't that helpful and Eula is an on-fielder too so they don't want to be on the team together. It's fine tho, this game is long as hell and all you really need is one strong carry and then start building up supports. I'd recommend investing in Eula & Jean first, either one can do a fine job at being your main on-fielder until you get the right characters to start building better teams

Well... I lost the 50-50 to Tighnari C6(!) at pity count 76. I have less than 100 rolls left in the bank, and I wasn't expecting Clorinde and Sigewinne to show up in the same patch.

This might be GG for Arlecchino, gamers.

Tampa Bae posted:

You should pull if you like her. Don't think there's many "Must-pull" characters out there. Nahida & Kazuha, maybe Furina. If you want to play the game on easy mode then Neuvillette. Three of those just ran very recently so if you empty primos on anything it should be Furina in the next couple months.

ZL and Kazuha are the only two I would say you always will want. They're both universally useful and ZL in particular enables things that otherwise just don't work. Even if you ignore abyss and base your decisions entirely on open world they're both incredibly good. Nahida, Furina, Noobvillage, Hu, and Raiden are all characters I would totally pull again today if I didn't have them but they're all very powerful in specific ways instead of universal ones.

I'll decide in a few weeks if it's worth replacing C1R1 Hu with Arle C0/C1, but that's a lot of power to creep.

Oh yeah some notes on the Arlecchino boss materials that you may wanna know:

*The teleporter to the new island was open for me, I've explored most of Fontaine but haven't started any quests there so it might be unlocked for almost everyone.
*You must start the island's main quest line to get to the boss. It's self-contained and barely mentions the rest of Fontaine, so you don't need to worry about Fontaine spoilers
*It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the point where you can get to the boss. Most of it's just talking. As soon as you get underground and get off the rails of the guided quest, you can just go straight to the boss room. If you end up swimming underwater a second time after fighting 4 statues, you've gone too far.

The boss is so incredibly easy I don't even know what mechanics it has. It has a shield but it breaks really fast just using a claymore user, it also takes a decent amount of damage while shielded. Breaking the shield stuns it and you can deal tons of damage while it's down. This is hands down the easiest boss material fight I've seen since like, the Anemo and Electro hypostasis in mondstat and it might even be easier than that since there's no revive phase lol

The boss quickstart they added a few patches back works on it, so you can just use the Handbook to teleport there and do your weekly challenge (did this myself today).

Yeah the new boss is like a one-phase geo hypostasis. Imagine geo hypo but you only have to drop 1 pillar and then the fight is all but over.

So if Neuvillette is too easymode to enjoy then what is Nahida? She only has to look at enemies once every 25s. Or is the skill in knowing team mechanics like who to field and what order to rotate because Neuvillette has pretty strict requirements for maintaining 3 stacks.

Nahida dies if anything sneezes on her so it kinda evens itself out if you're not paying attention. Give Neuvillette a prototype amber and he just becomes your team's healer in addition to the only damage you even need

I went to almost 80 to miss my 50/50 on loving c7 Diluc. My disappointment is immense. Could really use a single goddamn Tighnari but them's the gacha breaks.

I must have Father though and, small reprieve, it took about 50ish pulls after the wrong goddamn pyro dps.

This new bit of Sumeru is kinda weird. The mountaintop is pretty far out of the way, and the path leading there is pretty sparse, but once you're up there, it has one of the more impressive panoramas in the game; then once you go down from there and a little further west, where it starts to transition to desert, it's basically completely unpopulated, and still feels like a semi-out-of-bounds area you're not really supposed to be in.

Well, fatherlessness avoided at least. And this being an exploration patch makes it so that it's not completely hopeless to try for Clorinde, or if I end up skipping her Sigewinne is pretty close to guaranteed I think. We'll see...

I have committed sins, but I have father and her weapon. It just took me getting two of Lyney's weapon first. One is fine for Fischl but no idea what to do with the second. Refine it? Give it to Yoimiya to hold as I don't use her because I pulled another pyro carry like a loving idiot? Who knows. I also pulled a Chevreusse out of nowhere thankfully and got a Dehya.....I'm happy but I'm suffering from success here, I only have the books and mora to level one character not three. Dehya might also be a priority to actually build so Navia can still have Zhongli....

also that Dehya roll was after I picked her up so I have a guarantee and Arle's cons are very tempting...

Arlecchino C0 Sacrificial Bow (10) Lynette C4 (10) Lion's Roar(20) Lyney C0 Freminet C2 (30) Favonius Warbow (10 Arlecchino pulls)

I wasn't planning on going for Lyney right now but since I won so quickly on the other one I had to for extra stardust at the very least. And I wasn't expecting to get him immediately either but then I did! I pulled every character in that orphanage today, my Genshin luck is back baby!

Was on 70 pulls from last patch, no 50/50.

Secretly hoping that I lose the 50/50 because I’m up to 230 wishes and I start to make bad choices like pulling on the weapon barrier.

(80?) Arleccinho, Xiangling C6+ Oops

Lyney’s banner:

(10) Charlotte C3
(20) Lynette C1
(30) Freminet C2

Bad choice time, weapon banner:

(30) Arleccinho’s spear, Mika C2

Didn’t even know you could get characters on the weapon banner, third time I’ve ever pulled on it. This is my first 5* weapon not on the standard wish list. God I wish I’d had the sense to use that luck on a more general 5* weapon.

Won’t lie that I’m pretty happy with all that. Suppose I’ll have to see what 4.7’s deluge of characters and their kits will be like, or maybe pull for Baizhu.

Edit: I see her sig weapon turns into a red scythe, this is actually fine.

Ultima Ratio Regum
So all 9 of the remaining Hydroculi are in the Nostoi Region, before you even get to the new map. EDIT: Nevermind, I badly miscounted. There are like 54 more, and 46 of them are in the new area.

The Fountain of Lucine can also be maxed. I was at 299 Hydro Sigils when the patch dropped and thus exactly 1 off from being able to instantly max it without any 4.6 chests, so if there were a few I missed elsewhere in Fontaine you actually don't need to do any treasure hunting in the new areas to max the fountain.

Grumble grumble, I finally decide to get rid of all these Exile and Instructor artifacts that I decided I was never gonna actually use and now there's a new book thing that rewards you for maxing out 8 of them. Might as well do it! I GUESS!!

So what should I do. I use too many favonius weapons for Exile to be worth it litetally ever so I'm thinking:

1, 2, 3: EM/EM/EM
4: ER sands
5, 6: Heal hat + Crit hat (for favonius proccing)
7, 8: Flower + Feather with EM/ER/Crit rate

Nobody that would ever use InstructorI would ever be a talent damage dealer so they're either gonna be a reaction support, a healer, or some sort of utility character (that I will inevitably put Favonius on). This covers all those roles then support units can use a random off-piece cup if they need a specific stat. Pretty sure I had all of these in my stock already. 4 years of stock, wasted :negative:

Over the weekend, I cleaned up a ton of Sumeru desert achievements/hidden quests/etc. I didn't even know I was missing, and I'm still not finished.

Last night I was so excited to see the Sumeru desert map expansion, the first thing I did after the update was book it over there to explore....aaaaand there's nothing there. :classiclol: All that terrain and no enemies, animals, materials, nothing.

Anybody privy to leaks know if that area's going to be populated with stuff in the future?
