PringleCreamEgg posted:A meteorite that spawned an electro cicin mage twice gave me the most trouble. Mostly because she just stayed outside the barrier hanging out rather than try to get me a few times. The hardest one so far was like 2-3 of the pyro ninjas and a shitload of electric/fire grenadiers. The loving grenades never stopped, and also you can't hit the ninjas because even with them plainly visible the game randomly locks on to a different grenadier a mile away so you're swinging at nothing. I survived that with all my supports dead and also having to use two revives. At several points I just shielded up with Diona and ran around in circles because between them constantly backing up and every attack cranking them in the air they might as well have had four bosses' worth of hp each. 25 to go

Did the agents spawn at the same time? I had a meteor with one agent and two grenadiers, but they respawned immediately. The grenadiers gave almost zero salvage points, too

No idea who he is or when he'll get put in the game, but the only thing cooler than having a cape is having a hat with a cape. It's fairly likely that he's a Fatui harbinger, so I'd bet on him having a similar role to Childe in Inazuma. Therefore I'm making a wild guess that he'll be available in whatever patch finishes the Inazuma plot. June maybe?

Two agents, then another one spawned when I killed them both. Three agents at once I just would have died. I already lost my supports to getting dashed during the stun from the character swap. While it was nowhere near as brutal, a fight against a ton of the hoarders punchyfist dudes was a clusterfuck because every time I dodged the camera immediately decided to lose its poo poo and spin me around. I'd usually eat an attack out of nowhere. I do appreciate the effort put in to provide stuff to do, even if it's not core progression, but herding ranged units and all the lock on/camera weirdness just feels rear end. Hopefully the third part doesn't have the same jank mechanic.

Meteors are easy, just perma freeze everything with your Chongyun that also does increased damage  But in all seriousness, I'm really enjoying this event, from the amusing exposition quests to the generous amount of exp which I've already nearly eaten up getting the rest of my carries up to 80. I'm happy to see Fischl get screentime as well as more Mona. Hopefully Chongboi gets the spotlight if this arc does what I think will and leads up to going up the mountain. They've set a pretty high standard for what I'm guessing is the interlude event between major versions.

Helical Nightmares posted:Mona not taking Fischl's poo poo was very refreshing. Read Fischl's voiceovers in her profile. She thinks that Mona was left trembling in fear upon viewing her destiny. It was because she was trying so very hard not to crack up laughing. The hilarious part is that if the book series she's so chuuni about is relevant to the greater universe (and given the plot of the other Impact games there's like a non-zero chance that it's possibly either the story of Kiana, a hitherto unknown being, or the Traveler herself.) then it may be possible that Fischl chuuni'd so hard she warped reality into making her an incarnation of the actual Prinzessin der Verurteilung. This is hinted at in her ascension items. You see, each of the elemental items relates to a possible take on a given personality trait that is dominant in the person. Water for instance relates to the purity of one's ideals and a devotion to see them through. Mona for instance represents her absolute devotion to prophecy. Barbara is reprsented her devotion to becoming an idol even though idol's are clearly from Alice/Klee's mom's world, who was isekai'd from another world. Meaning that no one even knows what an idol is in the alternate reality of Teyvat/Ark. Tartaglia/Childe is a darker take on that, what with his bloodthirstiness as well. Electricity however represents royalty/nobility and a determination to make the world one's own. Meaning that the edgy book nerd edgy book nerded so hard that she may have actually gotten either reality or some being in charge of visions to acknowledge her as an incarnation of the very thing she was fawning over! The girl basically pulled a Morrowind and mantled her way to becoming a proto-goddess. Failing that, Oz accidentally drops a line in the latest quest that says he's seen all this crap happen thousands of times before in relation to humanity falling. It's very much out of character given that he acts as translator for Fischl's insane dialogue and he snaps back into his usual self almost immediately afterwards in the next scene. Which is really weird. Edit: Also, if you think Klee is bad then you should read up on the semi-hidden backstory of her mother Alice. Klee didn't get the explosion fanaticism from nowhere. Her mother does it a thousand times harder to the point that she's basically your archetypical isekai hero crossed with Megumin from Konosuba. Also, she may be the Crimson Witch referenced in the items. A title that is probably deserved, since she literally nuked some ruins straight out of existence in the past. Emphasis on nuke. In addition to that, I think Barbara has a line where she mentions her being from a world that sounded suspiciously faux german, similar to Fischl's obsession. In fact, Alice gave Barbara an idol magazine from her world, giving her the idea to become one in the first place. Pierson posted:If Inazuma means fantasy Japan and fantasy samurai, all they need to do is announce an iai-stance character and I will scrimp and save every single primogem for that character. Between the upcoming Inazuma character and Keqing we literally have Vergil from Devil May Cry 3 in the game. In fact, there was a video posted on youtube recently that compares their animations. Turns out they're almost exactly the same. Like, down to even the tiniest bits of detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgQ1e0zdoQA Archonex fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Nov 18, 2020 |

Everything is about equally valuable imo. Your bottleneck for going 80-90 will be shards, you will have way too many of the boss materials, and getting 3 shards for less than 20 resin is amazing. You want to buy out this entire shop as the rates on everything are ridiculous. I'm getting 110k mora for 20 resin when the normal rate is 60k and 11 purple books when the normal rate is 6.125. Spend fragile resin if you must (but only at the end of the event). No Wave fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Nov 18, 2020 |

I don't think grinding up new anime husbandos will be all that bad once we've been at max world level with a maxed out A-team for awhile. The first few are slow going since you're spread out between so many and you're still rising in WL getting relatively poo poo amounts of resources. Hell, I'm already feeling the pressure ease up at AR44 since it takes soooo long to hit AR50 that I'm just kind of idly sitting on the materials I need to upgrade my main team. Decided to max out Ningguang from scratch for some variety and it didn't pinch me much at all. Thinking about doing it to Diona or Bennett as well.

Seems unlikely. The Chapter 2 menu thing has Mona on it and she's the one that sends you to the salvage points. Chapter 3 probably is a new thing and Mona keeps doing this. Now whether or not the co-op thing gives the lower currency as well as the higher, who knows. Also I'm disappointed these don't count for the leyline battlepass weekly.

Does anyone know if any NPCs or otherwise mention a character named Rosalia? Dataminers have turned up the name as a new 4 star Cryo Polearm user, likely to be on the 1.2 banner, but there's no portrait or skill data yet, she doesn't seem to match any of the previously leaked models (most of which look more Liyue or Inazuma while Rosalia sounds like a more Monstadt name), and I've not heard her mentioned anywhere unlike characters like Albedo or Yaoyao (who have models and are mentioned in character profile dialogue) or the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor director Zhongli references (who has a leaked model). There was another character who had a portrait but no model who looked like a knight of sorts, but she wasn't otherwise matched to Rosalia's datamined info. I'm guessing Rosalia is a Knight of Favonius or maybe a battle nun or something, but I'm curious if she's actually already been referenced in-game.

Just an FYI since it seems like you'll want to spend literally all of your resin on meteorites this week: If you do each of the four leylines every day without claiming the rewards, starting today, you'll hit the 20 required for the BP on Sunday.

AR44 is probably the most relaxed AR so far... I have six level 70+ ascended characters, I have six level 80 weapons, I've got lots of mora, everything seems fine, I'm not going to beat floor 12 or 9 star 10/11 any time soon so there's isnt any real abyss pressure, I feel pretty good. I'm expecting AR45 to be different because suddenly I want to be farming artifacts every day by default and getting boss mats for Diona (for example) will directly be costing me 10 gold artifacts.

Uh. I don't know much about Rosalia but there is a sister Rosaria that Fischl talks about. Also, her name is in along with the character opinion voiceovers for playable characters. So I assume that's her and there's a translation error somewhere or she's masquerading as a nun. Long story short, Rosaria seems like either a very pious woman in the murderous "God shall smite thee, heathen!" sort of way. Or the very angry sort of way. Fischl hears her asking Venti/Barbatos to literally strike someone down for blasphemy or something. It's not made clear what provoked her, but it's a telling character bit. So if that's her she sounds like a When I get a chance i'll check the other characters. I have a lot of the characters related to the church at near or total friendship it seems. So they may have a bit on them. Edit: Barbara is...Interesting. Just going to try and roughly quote what she says here: quote:Sister Rosaria is hard to get to know, especially given she never joins in on prayers, but... Oh i'm sure she believes in the Anemo Archon! Although, I still don't really have the courage to try to talk to her... She sounds like a very angry woman, if we assume Fischl's statement is related to Barbara's nervousness. Maybe her model is that leaked early CBT model that was a gothy looking woman that looked like a cross between 2B, a JRPG villain, and Fischl? She's one of the only models that hasn't been featured in the game prior to now. Unless that's supposed to be an early version of the female traveler in her dark queen/corrupted original traveler form that shows up in a cinematic.  Edit 2: Okay, yeah. Her name is definitely Rosaria and not Rosalia. A whole bunch of characters have had quotes about her added in. Kaeya has quotes about her as well. And I imagine most of the other Monstadt city characters do as well. Archonex fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Nov 18, 2020 |

greatswords are OP and we need new enemy types that greatswords are weak to. There is just no downside atm. Swords are so much worse for no benefit.
