i mean it has a pretty great set/stat combo for two characters you own and may raise in the future, i wouldn't ditch it until you come into a better option

No, bank that thing, you don't run into artifacts from both the best set and with the correct elemental boost for characters you have that often. Even at 4* that thing is really good.

:eyepop: I was already planning on rolling for him, but now I'm extra hyped for those cool attack animations. Just gotta hope my pity doesn't hit off-banner; I've barely got enough gems to hit it in the first place.

(I went to look at my pull history and yup, I did waste a lot of gems on permanent banner for some reason. I've got ~50 points towards pity on it right now.)

You might as well level it and see how the substats shake out. More HP, Xingqiu; more crit damage, Childe; if you hit mostly flat defense, stop leveling it and slap it on one of them while you look for a replacement to feed it to.

You can see a bunch of large islands off in the distance from where Beidou's ship is docked in Guyun Stone Forest. They just came back from a trip to Inazuma, ergo those islands are probably Inazuma.

No, keep it. You dont get much XP from destroying 5*s so you want to keep anything that looks usable in the future because it will be extremely hard to find a 5* hydro goblet when you need one. Just keep it equipped on one of them.

The really cool thing about it is that it's not just for show; you can dash-cancel out of it right after he sends the spear spinning with a kick, and the spear will finish its spinny attacks while Zhongli can do something else. It's a legit useful technique.

Pretty much yeah, I had JP voices on for that scene and when I realized what they had done I was like "What the hell? Who localizes out a loving title drop for an incredibly obscure english word!?" I mean, everyone is going to assume it's game jargon anyway, there's no point in localizing it. In fact by doing so they have actually made the connection between the title and the story much harder to understand and have actually communicated less information to the user by translating it, it's incredible.

this is fine in a vacuum, but the set bonus is worse. doesn't matter as much for Childe since long-term he will probably run 4pc hydro (currently he just mixes different 2pc sets) and this could be the 5th slot, but Xingqiu wants 4pc Noblesse and your other goblet would make that easier to lock down while still being good.

Overall, the English localization comes off pretty bad. They use the weirdest word choices; the English localization team, if a team at all, does not seem well-verse in English idioms, diction, and connotation.

Two artifact sets were straight up the opposite of what their effect was for all of 1.0.

Whatever localization company they got, it was not one of the higher-up ones like 8-4 (Who among did Nier, Revengence, Fire Emblem Awakening/echoes) also does Draglia.

I'm a bit confused about how Venti becoming a god works. He wasn't a person originally; he was a wind spirit or something. Have we seen any other instances of sapient elemental spirits? I guess Oceanid maybe? It's also not clear why the gnosis ended up with him after the previous wind archon died.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what's going on, her C2 seems extremely good. Apparently using her ult counts as the wall being destroyed, so you can throw one up immediately after. It feels like you're throwing the wall up constantly with it, but I don't know what to compare it with since I didn't really use Ningguang much until getting C2 with her.

Been playing about 2 weeks and spent no money. Only done a few 10 pulls and have Noelle C1, Xiangling C1, Fischl, Sucrose, Xinqui, Chongyun, and the free characters. Haven't pulled any 5* units or weapons but I am progressing pretty well so far. I have almost 9k of the currency saved up but I am not going for any particular 5*, just gonna try and get dupes of the units I use. Ninguang seems really cool but I don't like the other characters on the banner. I wish I could have pulled more on the Klee banner but it went away like 3 days after I started playing.

I assume since he was involved in killing the previous wind archon, he had a good chance to grab the gnosis

There's a girl who runs along the path to Thousand Winds Temple who sells five of them a day or thereabouts, if you can't be assed.

Another easy spot is the windmill next to the Knights HQ, has around six growing on it. The rest are scattered more haphazardly in Monstadt and Springvale and kind of annoying to collect.

Once you know where they are (which Klee has a talent for; Klee actually avoids the worst part, which is having to constantly look at the sides/tops of buildings to see if there's a flower there), you can gather a really large number of them really quickly between Mondstadt/Springvale/Dawn Winery.

I initially thought they were a pain, but I actually think you can access a larger number of them at once than many other gathered ascension materials.

- I think Geo abilities are inherently kind of cool; it's neat creating actual physical objects with your abilities, and Zhongli has an ability to exploit them in a way that can work together with another Geo character well.
- He has really cool attack and skill animations
- He's a cool looking guy

The changes to expeditions are definitely needed but I can't help but feel like the passives need changing a bit, I don't care if a couple of my expeditions will finish sooner when I'm not going to bother to check the results until they've all finished. They should give a bonus to the items received instead or something

I think the expeditions are intended to be used like equivalents in other mobile games, but the problem is that your character has to actually visit the Adventurer's Guild to access them. Honkai 3rd has a similar "send characters on missions" feature accessible through the Dorm, but that game is different because you're just accessing everything from the main menu screen. IMO they should just make expeditions accessible through the main menu.

From the wiki, In the power vacuum that emerged with Decarabian's death, both Boreas and Barbatos were qualified to become the Anemo Archon in his stead. Boreas, believing himself incapable of the love for humanity required of an Archon, chose to forego the position. Barbatos took up the mantle and used his newfound power to take the form of the Nameless Bard—who was slain in the rebellion. He then renamed himself "Venti".

The other members of the party were Amos, who was slain by Decarabian, and Diluc's ancestor, who apparently didn't qualify for the position, however that works. Wrong vision element?

You could make an argument for Osial, who is actually a god and I am fairly sure not human. And Andrius/Boreas, as mentioned.
