On one hand, as someone without either Venti or Zhongli I am very happy to see a rerun. On the other....all of my primos are being reserved for Xiao now that I have Albedo.

Also, it low key annoys me that the only collectables in Dragonspine are mint and pinecones, maybe a few conches. They couldn't give us some mist flowers or something, or a recipe that uses more than 1-2 mint?

Give me frost mint

I hope they give us a Jean banner so I can actually get her and start tossing fools around.

Also since this game is going to have a boat-load of power creep, you should 100% pull for characters that are fun, are mechanically interesting to play and have designs you like. If you need big numbers, just pump more resources into them or put aside some gems to get some 5* weapons from weapon banners.

i am mechanically interested in seeing big numbers pop out of badguys

Y'all are crazy, Childe's bow mode is still crazy useful for hitting Ruin Guards and Hunters.

A fully charged shot applies Riptide, hits for over 100% damage and then four more times at 10% of that damage.

I have enjoyed having an archer on my team since the beginning of the game and Childe lets me snipe without devoting an entire slot to a bow character.

It expires after a week. This week mine is at the top of Dragonspine because it's easier to get all the agates that way.

How many "extra" open world agates are there anyway? I've found 3 after unlocking Crimson Wish. Figured there was just 1 like with the oculi, but yesterday's event quest led me to finding 2 more.

Supposedly 9, which is a really dumb number because the wishes come in sets of 5 so you'll have 4 extra if you find them all.

I wonder if the game will keep giving crimson agates out after you max out the tree or if it'll be like the others and let you keep a single spare in your inventory forever

It would be nice if they added a "team assist" gadget that triggered the next-character-in-line's elemental skill remotely on use.

Say your team order is
1) Klee
2) Xingqiu
3) Diona
4) Chong

When Klee is active the gadget fires xing's elemental skill. When Xing is active it fires diona's skill, and so on.
Saves you having to switch and use, and maybe the downside could be something like +5sec cooldown on the skill.

Popular locations are the secret island crab fields, or that one place with a pond that has lotuses and some enemies up high near the gateway between Monstadt and Liyue with no convenient TP nearby, I forget the name offhand.

Klee's ult is designed exactly so that you can't use other abilities after triggering it without wasting the ult. The C4 mitigates that drawback because 5* constellations are broken.

Does sucrose care about any other stat? Like it could be a god piece and it wouldn't matter (ok, ER would be nice). Just being a viridescent EM goblet makes it a god piece.

Absolutely. If she could use her ult then swap out and keep shooting things with her death satellite it would be insane. Imagine Chongyun with Klee’s ult following him around.

EM goblet though? I'd go for anemo % just to squeeze more damage out of her swirls but I didn't do the math. I know she gives her EM to other people but idk if its actually more damage than getting some juicy elemental %

Xiao will actually be fun to play so they'll never get the critical mass of outcry and insanity. Plus he will actually be a carry. Zhong Li fiasco required confused casual players who hated playing as him and insane nolifers who wanted their hero to be op leading the charge.

I still refuse to use Bennett, because I have brain problems. Looking forward to the day I level him and make my life easier.

I just got C6 Sucrose on this banner, after getting C6 Fischl. No extras so far. Might be time to stop pulling.

People get weirdly attached to the idea of the archons being OP because they’re archons, but both of them have lost/traded the thing that made them super powerful in-universe to begin with so there’s not even a lore reason for then to be particularly more busted than any other Vision user at this point.

I haven't done the math myself (which is incredibly complicated) but most people seem to build him like everyone else these days. ATK sands, crit hat, elemental goblet. Also you try to pick up 40% ER on substats if not using sacrificial/favonious.

You want enough ER so that he can self perpetuate his ult and then use his Ult. Anything else beyond that is just a bonus.
