If you have Xinyan- which I know you do, we all have 17 Xinyans without even making wishes in this game- she trivializes that domain. Just make a shield, start it, and swap to the characters that can actually do damage and clean house.

Shields and pyro really help in the mondstadt talent domain.

I'm a crazy who invested in Xinyan, so I like to run that domain with Xianling, Bennett, Xinyan and kazuha. It's no longer a problem :D

Admittedly Kazuha is one helluva character for a flex slot, but a second shielder such as noelle or diona would do well.

Starting to think it's wiser to hold off on wishing until the next banner is announced.

I'm AR52, and I had never run the Mondstadt talent domain so I decided to try it out. Surprisingly, it IS bad! I ran it with Yoimiya, Raiden, and Xiangling which did just fine. The icicles and stamina penalty are just absurd though. The icicles don't even have any kind of stacking prevention so they just rain 5 icicles in a row to stunlock you unless you sprint like hell away.
Don't forget the invisible ice clouds on the white floor! Or getting stunlocked inside of one!

Diona is the better pick for Mond talent domain since her shield gets the 2.5x absorption bonus, and she was even free at one point

Don't forget the stamina drain directly impact Hu Tao and Yanfei, who rely on charged attacks. Sheesh, that f'in domain.

I do have Xinyan and Diona, I just brought Sayu because I didn't know what to expect and she's my go to. Even with Yoimiya I was at zero stamina just from dodging so I can't imagine trying that place with charge attack characters.

Oct 23, 2012

rules are made to be broken and all that, but they've never done consecutive weapon banners with the same 5* types (bow and spear in this case) so this seems unlikely to me

the 4* lineup is 90% safe bets as they're characters who have gone the longest without a banner, or in Sayu's case she's returning under the usual pattern for new 4*, one patch between release and rerun

Yes, you can check out its leak data at Honey Hunter. It looks like it's going to be a great option for pretty much any bow user too.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I hope the Childe/Thoma banner is real, as I'm lined up for the guarantee and I'd like his first constellation as I pull for Thoma.

That Hu Tao banner would make me super sad because I'm at the c5 spot for Bennett and I don't want to have an unused c6 staring at me forever if I don't ruin his burst with it.

I don't know if I'd rather Thoma be on Childe or Hu Tao's banner, to be honest.

If he's on Childe's I can sneakily go for c4 and its delicious bustedness for Ayaka.

If he's on Hu Tao's I might get a new character.

dogsicle
Oct 23, 2012

i've come down pretty hard on Thoma. still love his kit and role and see him being solid, but he's probably not causing any big shifts in teams or elsewhere to make him feel like an instant pull (e.g. Sayu's windwheel).

this banner setup is also pretty bad, i'm not hugely into Childe/Hu Tao cons past what i already have and can't imagine any other rerun banner where i'd want to chase Thoma+his cons either. if 2.3 brings new 5* i'm likely blowing rolls there instead of holding any for a 2.4 Thoma rerun as well, though the likelihood of 2.3 Gorou makes it even more complicated 😔

hu tao is pretty great and straightforwardly does a lot of damage but i should point out that many of you probably already have a pyro spear user who does more sustained damage, c4+ xiangling (especially in multitarget situations).

hu tao's real edge over xiangling is that she can fit zhongli or diona into her teams which makes her substantially more comfortable than xiangling in practical situations. that's a real advantage! but if you don't have zhongli and/or need diona to battery for a cryo team, it might not be one that you can take advantage of.

I'm not drooling at the thought of getting Childe but, I don't have him, and I don't have any of the other characters at c6 so I'm obligated to pull. Especially because I've heard good things about Sayu.

my childe team is him, ZL, kaz, and bennett, and it's immensely satisfying to meteor into bennett ult into kaz ult into kaz E into childe ult into melee stance to get a bunch of vape procs (this is assuming you already had ZL's shield up)

i refuse to use XL on principle because I find her incredibly bland to play as :v: I considered a permafreeze team with him but i'll probably end up just doing one with chongyun/c6 diona

it actually is sending an auth key (the url param is named authkey) to connect the feedback to your ingame account. you might be able to use the same key to get into the account management page, though opening the account management and feedback pages ingame seem to go through different code paths and could be doing totally different things idk. you can look at the source here (the CORS proxy is also on his profile.) they've since made an offline script that doesn't involve passing your auth around if you're extremely privacy minded.

he also associated the project with his real name and i was able to find him on linkedin pretty trivially. perhaps not a wise series of decisions were you looking to hijack some mobile game accounts.
