I like the implication that you can just have a card made up of yourself (or whomever) and it's perfectly valid. Like Sucrose's could be a perfectly sensible gift from her akademia friend, but kaeya just got cards of himself and diluc made and is just dropping them all over, fischl absolutely would request a card made of herself, and random people in town get cards of themselves for whatever reason.

The dice rolls need to be faster lol

This would be nice. Eventually I'll get to touch it on pc, but on ps there's vaguely adequate controls; the most annoying one is that you can only just hit ○ to end your turn if you're looking at your hand, otherwise you've got to nudge the cursor to an open area first.

There's also the annoying overscan thing where the game doesn't follow the system's safe area settings. Normally this isn't an issue, but for the card ui stuff gets cut off, most annoyingly the little dice display in the top right. Can't really see it unless I'm picking a skill or something that expands that panel.

It's also rather annoying that leaving the card game requires reloading the whole world, which means waiting a bit after the load screen is gone before people repopulate the world so you can read their "oh i lost" line.

archon quest : what did everyone rename Scaramouche and why was it always RhettCaan?

I've seen some of this on twitter and I'm curious: is that a permanent thing? I'd hate to name him 'whiny rear end in a top hat' (not that it would let me) and then have him stuck with whatever stupid bullshit I put in forever, especially if it actually applies to him if you fish him out of the gacha.

looking it up, heres a few tips on the renaming


He won't accept Scaramouche, Balladeer, or Kunikuzushi. This refers to exactly these words, so you can name him Scara or Kuni or whatever.
He won't accept any of the other playable character's names.
He won't accept any of the other Fatui's names, or Paimon's.
He will accept the same name as your Traveler, and actually comment on it. ('You want to share your name with me? Heh, not bad')

After naming him, you'll get a key item that lets you rename him once.

I apologize for hyping Faruzan. She kind of sucks and my best Scara team so far is Bennett/Yelan/Zhongli (such teambuilding skill). I guess Faruzan would really like either C6 or anemo albedo to get more value out of her debuffs/have an easier time batterying her stupid expensive burst. Not great to have a stationary cube you rely on when Wanderer's mechanics involve dashing all over the place.

You can't just steal venti's name like that. It's rude, even if he wouldn't care.

Tempted to go with "nobody", just as a reminder. Maybe be 'clever' and use nanashi.

Per spoiler chat: I went with "Daniel". For some reason I find the idea of making the Inazuman rude boy with the big hat walk around Fantasy Asia (and Germany) with a very boring Western name exceedingly funny. Although, for irony points I did choose one that means roughly "god has judged me".

Along similar lines, I named him "Anitya", after "impermanence". Bit of a jab at Raiden too, I guess, but I'm sure she can take it. She's put up with Miko for this long.

Since he's working for Nahida now, it seemed fitting to use the Sanskrit word instead of the Japanese one.

You name him no matter what, it's an Archon quest. Also no spaces allowed, I tried to name him Sol Badguy but was denied.

Man. One of the duellists in Liyue gets locked out by what appears to be Yelan's entire Story Quest. And because he's just an NPC out in the world, he doesn't get priority back after each step in the chain like another quest in your log would.

xingqiu's interrupt resist + flying all the time can definitely help but rip if you get hit

Yeah, you're very fragile. I was using Yelan (in a Wanderer/Yelan/Xiangling/Bennett team) but might switch to Xingqiu for this reason. It's a tough call since I have C1 on Yelan and she's absurdly good with it (and I have an amazing set of HP-focused artifacts for her).

That being said, you can avoid most stuff fairly reliably, outside of bosses with frequent hard to avoid attacks, since your in-air dodge moves you a lot and he has ranged attacks. Still tempting to stick a shielder in the team, though.

Getting to sumeru is easy. Just walk there. His mats are a bit of a nuisance because they spawn all spread out and hidden. He's not Kazuha Yelan or Nahida so he's terrible and unplayable.

you can just walk over to sumeru, its not blocked off like inazuma was. wanderer seems decent, much better than xiao and xiao is playable.
