Fight for all that is beautiful in the world

I've been using Fish, Diluc, Chong, and Barbara for the entirety of the game, but I'm starting to realize that Barb is not a great choice because I almost never need the sheer amount of heals she provides

I do have Jean, is she a better slot?

Same. After that when I encountered rain in one of the next ones, I waited alt-tabbed, reading stuff, until the rain stopped.
There's a clock button in the menu that will pass time in-game - waiting 24 hours will usually make the rain go away.

I hate to say it but Jean is just plain superior to Barbara. Same auto attack effect but scales on ATK and is always on, E that is useful and not suicide vs ice and actually builds ult, cheaper ult that does a lot of damage + does exactly what Barbara's ult does.

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. :shrug:
Yeah, this is supposedly her. Has the Cryo Vision and everything.

Ahaha, you want to know about the secrets of Sister Rosaria? That... I cannot tell you. Though my impression is not bad — certainly better than a certain someone whose name I won't bother to mention. She's honest with herself. She casts off that which she has no time for and she doesn't feign motivation for affairs that do not interest her.
Based on what Jean says, she's a nun who hates doing any of her duties except smiting heathens. A Sister of Battle basically.

Hopefully they fix the dialog for the after battle also because it’s badly translated which is why people are seeing it inconsistent with his story quest and character profile.

It's a good change. That fight scales with your AR and some casual players could get completely stuck on it (I'm certain they have data to back this up), it was 5x harder than any other main storyline content. I don't think the change affects the weekly boss fight.

Well if that is indeed Scaramouche, it would imply that the Fatui are a multinational force, which has some pretty interesting implications.

MY OPINION IS SEERS OF THE THRONE PROPAGANDA IGNORE MY GNOSIS-IMPAIRED RAMBLINGS

Arleneth posted:

Given some of Kaeya remarks and the timid way other folks tiptoe around the subject of her, this appears to be exactly what she does. She does what she wants because she wants to do it. Basically, she's taking the whole "You're free to do what you want." thing to the logical conclusion when a bunch of assholes show up in the city looking to hijack her god. Which is hand out an rear end whooping or a verbal slapping at the least. Which may explain the whole "Barbatos is going to smite the poo poo out of you." comment that Fischl overheard. Alternatively, she could just be your typical radical fundamentalist. Time will tell. :shrug:

Given what little we know of her though she sounds like the kind of person that'd reply to the Knights of Favonius fumble-fingering the Fatui situation and wanting everyone to just take it easy in their take on the Monstadtatian way with something like "Well that's nice. I'm a devotee of the god of freedom too. And it is my wish to express that freedom with violence. :black101: Now, bear witness to the sight of me beating these crooked assholes senseless in the name of Lord Barbatos.".

So basically she's literally a Sister of Battle crossed with Monstadt's religion. Or a murder nun. She's even rocking a gothy look that just screams "I'm going to kill the poo poo out of you.".


TL;DR: She actually sounds pretty hilariously awesome. Just some crazy nun that doesn't bother to show up for prayers because she's too busy doing things like fist fighting the grand master of the Favonius knights over not liking beer and being out in the street punching shifty 007 and KGB type superpowered spies in the face in the name of FREEDOM Barbatos.


Edit: Since the image didn't load properly on the last page here's what she looks like. Pardon if it's a lower quality image. Had to make do since the other image won't load.



Tell me that is the look of a loving and gentle nun given over to pacifism. I mean, just try.

the leak of his model a few weeks ago named him and also gave his element/weapon combo

granted we already had one Albedo leak with an incorrect weapon type so any or all of that could be false. Scaramouche is at least mentioned by Fatui NPCs, though it doesn't look like Childe has a line related to him

a colloquial term for character-collection games like this is "wife/waifu collector" because the majority of units are girls and women and the showcase/limited units will skew that way as well. Genshin is unusual both for starting off with a decent number of dudes and for lining up a lot of limited banners where the star character is a guy, hence "husband game"

Technically there are still more playable waifus than husbandos. I want someone who is Draff but has his clothes taken to anime extreme like Kaeya's. I'm talking cat ear dude with sweet facial hair.

Also no more tiny people my team has Klee and Diona now and it's just great when I'm walking in waist deep water and swap to Diona and suddenly I'm swimming and can't switch back.

Dammit I broke my pity way early and now I have a Childe to build up. This is dumb, I'm already sorted for dps, I just wanted C1 on Diona, or failing that get a Beidou for fun big crits. I don't even have a weapon I can give him, stringless is already glued to Fischl. Guess I should craft the prototype.

Also it feels very petty to complain about this. My f2p luck had been rather good or so it feels.

Also, on a more positive note, got the wife and kids into the game so now we take turns rolling around each other's world as a 4-person murder squad :3:

It seems kind of unusual for the genre that first four chase characters (wind twink, gremlin terrorchild, ginger dreamboat, and hunky geo daddy) are entirely waifu free

it's also really nice that the appropriate character design and portrayal means that I don't feel like I belong in pervert jail every time Klee or Qiqi are onscreen

They are only balancing the scale since 4/5 standard 5* units the game launched with were girls. We are still 3/8 of in game 5* being males. So Zhongly, Xian, and Albedo can come out and they'd just be slightly above the average number of 5* and chances are Inazuma is going to be girl heavy.
