The upcoming banner is really good but I'm really not that excited about the rest of the patch. Yes it's a new area to explore and yes there are some new quests, but it comes with a godawful environmental hazard mechanic that doesn't seem possible to permanently mitigate, basically all the new enemies seem like they're reskins of existing ones, and there's no new endgame content (unless abyss floor 9-12 changes significantly more than the news article implies).

any word on what the AR gate is to enter Dragonspine? I'd assume same as the event
You need to finish the Albedo story quest first apparently to start the event, but unless they surround Dragonspine with a really conspicuous wind barrier akin to Stormterror's Domain or have Paimon randomly turn you around you can just walk into Dragonspine from at least two places (Monstadt's highlands south of Springvale or northeast of the abandoned village in Liyue). It's just part of the world map.

But honestly, I think 2G2C could be a top tier comp when shield breaking isn't that important.

They're pushing this a lot sooner than I expected

"Fine" is just tier 2, so starsilver will be equivalent to white iron.

I understand and I do think that this might be the dev’s mistaken foray into punishing gameplay systems that will make people mad but also after you rep up a bit there’s a potion you can just craft and be immune to it and Amber can light a torch and I’m excited to go climb a mountain as Amber.

The schedule said it wasn't. It would be weird for me to keep abyss progress with the reset but it would be even more unlikely to give me a bunch of free gems with a reset. So I'm guessing it won't.

Just found a reddit thread explaining the differences—apparently the "hatred" theming of the prototype names was completely made up by the English translators, that explains that. Turns out the original name for Prototype Animus was 试做古华. "试做" is "prototype" and "古华" is "guhua", apparently the same characters used to refer to the Guhua Clan.

The new name is Prototype Archaic, which I guess refers to the 古 character. I wonder if/how they're going to retranslate the weapon description—"May it be known as Archaic of Guhua" doesn't sound very good in English, honestly.

Got my first pity out off the normal banner, Qiqi. All the Razor guides on reddit are from before Diona came out, so I figured I'd ask here:


team 1: Razor, Fischl, Qiqi, Diona

It would have the cryo and electro resonances, a shield, and probably too much healing. but I have a rank 3 sac bow...

team 2: Razor, Xingqiu, Qiqi, Kaeya

Better freezing, but is adding another step (hydro) going to make things too complicated?

team 3: Razor, Fischl, Qiqi, Sucrose

Swirls? Sucrose is c0, but then again so is Diona


I have all 4* characters except Bennett. Other 5*s are Jean, Venti, and Childe.

Qiqi doesn't seem very good for a Childe team since he doesn't get the melee bonus. Chongyun is c1, but he's at level 20. New battlepass should be dropping soon though, right?
