Wasn't sure if this 3 kairagi fight was supposed to be so easy. All the guides on Youtube cut out the fight part for some reason :smug:

Bennett's story is also very wholesome. He is a pure hearted boy, and the world constantly shits on him for it, but he stays good. He is the only character who earnestly believes Fischl's stories. He thinks she's a special magic princess. :3:

Edit: He also thinks Razor is the chillest dude he's ever met. He teaches Razor how to barbecue and Razor tries to teach him how to howl

I think Bennet's hangouts are the best out of all of them and really sell him as a character. If you haven't done his yet, I highly recommend it.

Are there any secret tips for managing to get a pyro swirl when you're running Diluc/XQ with an anemo support? (Other than doing it at the start of the fight before Xingqiu's swords are out.) He's just so dang good at applying hydro status that it gets in the way.

it's only hard if one of them falls off the mountain and gets stuck trying to walk his way back. I tried teleporting away, and coming back, but he was still there. Ended up having to log off and log back on to rekill him.

I generally do it after Bennett E+Q or after Diluc's Q.

Get the pyro element applied to yourself. Bennett's burst and then use anemo. Or set done nearby grass on fire.
I don't think it's possible to apply both pyro and hydro to yourself though.

Hitting one changes that one and any adjacent ones. For the split island, it changes the one next to it and the one across from it on the other island.

There's two types: getting the cubes to face the same direction, or getting the cube faces to have the same number of petals. Usually, hitting one cube will also change the ones adjacent to it, but there are some exceptions on a puzzle-by-puzzle basis.

They're little narrative-focused story quests about just chilling with one character.
They're shoved into a tab on the story-keys menu (which is in the bottom left corner of the quest menu), and each one costs 2 story keys to unlock (aka 4 days of dailies).

Oh right, Rainslasher has EM on it. I leveled one up to like 60 or 70 when I was young and stupid thinking it might be something for Beidou. It's time has come!

EDIT: I think this was already confirmed or at least leaked for awhile but image confirmation of Yoimiya's banner.

If there was a clear visual representation of which cubes flipped which other cubes then the logic of the puzzles would be straightforward. But there isn't so you have to use trial to memorize the behavior of which cubes flip what other cubes and then with that accurate memory reason out the correct way to reach a solution. It's a bit tricky yeah.

I like Inazuma though. Excellent music. Great visual design. Mean dudes. And you can be a huge dick with geo MC

A lot of them do that, but it depends on the puzzle.

Like in one of the Sakura dungeons I did today, there's 5 in a row:

A-B-C-D-E

A moves A/C
B moves A/B/C
C moves A/C/E
D moves C/D/E
E moves C/E

Seems like an easy skip unless either Yoimiya and/or Sayu turn out to be overtly overpowered.

I want one Sayu for the crystalfly stealth passive and maybe one more for C1 since that seems as important to her as Bennett's is to him. But my next event 5* is guaranteed so I don't wanna risk pulling Yoimiya, who seems fine but I have no real use for.

I used my pity on Ayaka so I'm not too afraid of an accidental 5*.

Unless this turns into the one time I actually win a 50/50.

The puzzles and platforming in Inazuma have been a vast improvement imo. I do think they highlight how the maximum zoom distance is way too low, though.

The only puzzle type I dislike is the "connect the two electro tower things" one. Those can be finicky and a pain of trial and error.

YoshiOfYellow posted:

The one puzzle I was slightly peeved at was one of the light up cube sets that was split between the beach and an island off in the distance you had to electrograpple to. Was a bit obnoxious to spend that time going back and forth to get the cubes lined up right.

I think I got lucky with this because the puzzle instantly completed after hitting the isolated cube once (and hitting the first two cubes randomly a few times before finding the third).

TV Zombie posted:

There's a furry animal that appears in Inazuma. Does it serve any purpose? I thought it would be like the golden animal in Liyue where you can chase and hit it for coins but I don't think it's dropped coins unless I missed seeing it.

You follow it a few times and then it transforms into one of several things (maybe more than this, but these three are the ones I remember): electro tower (the ones you shoot with electro), a torch that you have to light up with pyro, and one of those columns of stones you have to break.

Doing that then usually gives you a couple 1-2* artifacts.

Apparently things have gotten so bad in the community that TenTen had to come out of his vacation to make a video telling people to STOP making GBS threads on others for rolling for Yoimiya because they like her.

As someone who is gonna roll for her regardless: I hope to god this makes them buff her because as much as it won't make any real difference to me clearing Abyss if she's bad. Right now she seriously looks like a bottom 5 unit out of all the units in the entire game.

Just pull for characters you like and see yourself using, it's not even this complicated.

Even then you might not end up using them anyway because you hate the meta recommending them all the time.
