What is this kid's DEAL?!

I would be down to get cursed into a horrible unlife as some mummified goblin dude. Seems like some of the hilichurls have a pretty decent time when the Traveler isn't blowing up their lunch for chuckles.
EDIT: And hey, much better rates on the elemental magic gacha. The shamans seem to have some pretty sick spells

Getting close to my next standard banner 5*. I think it's guaranteed to be a character since last time was a weapon.

Tighnari dupe would definitely be best, though it'd also be nice to finally get a Qiqi, just to fill out the standard banner roster. Most other stuff would kinda suck.

It's not guaranteed to alternate, I got PJWS followed by Skyward Spine 78 rolls later

She is, in fact, a literal magical fox yokai. It's not like she hides it.

There are at least three distinct cultures in Sumeru that have kinda been thrown together, and I presume that jewelry and clothing invokes where their roots are. Deshret seems associated with Anubis imagery and followers of the Goddess of Flowers wear her horns.

Yae loves to bully Gorou, the fox boy who doesn't cover up his ears.

At some point we need to have an all-out snark war between Yae and Tighnari.

It doesn't work exactly like that, but the more times you pull a character in a row, the more likely you are to pull a weapon, and vice versa. I don't know what the exact numbers are. It's been a while since I saw an analysis of it.

I had the opposite of this happen with Keqing - I thought she had cat/dog ears for a long time, but it was just her hair style.

All of Lisa's dialogue is pretty flirty so it's in character, but yeah that's not exactly something you'd want someone to look over and see on your phone screen.

For me, this game is truly at its best when I get into the "I'm ready to just grind at checking things off a list." But I have to be in that specific mood. I think that's one of the reasons I had burned out earlier this year. I had gotten every Anemoculus, Geoculus, and Crimson Agate as well as all of the time trials for those 3 locations. Then when I finally got through Inazuma (which was a struggle) and got hit with the one-two punch of collecting in Enkanomiya and the Chasm and I just had no desire to keep going. This wasn't the fault of the content (which is good - Inazuma aside), it was because I just forced myself to keep grinding when I wasn't in the mood.

All this to say - I've been in an extreme "turn off brain and grind" mode recently and this is making me very happy. Just finished collecting all the Lumenspar in the Chasm over the last day.

I also find the card game very fun and addictive. I've been enjoying gradually going through all the matches and ranking up. I like how it spaces out character acquisition, so it's fun to mess around with new character combinations.

edit: It's kind of like the Arknights roguelike in that I have to be careful that I don't spend a very long time playing; it's always "one more run" (or "one more match" in this case).

No, only the characters youncan currently fight show up when you use the sarcophagus

Do they show up across the entire map or just in the area I'm in. Like, I used it on Mondstadt and saw a few people in the city I can face, but none in Liyue. I wasn't sure if it was a level thing or a proximity thing.

also diluc and kaeya are sworn brothers. 'sworn brothers' is often code for homosexual relationships in chinese media and in history, though obviously it was just used as a signifier for a brotherly bond too. it doesnt translate well to english at all tho.

It will point you towards the next one when you tell it to search. I recently was sent to Liyue for my next match.

You unlock them by leveling up. IIRC, all of Mondstat plus weeklies is enough to unlock Liyue, all of Liyue will leave you waiting for new weeklies for Inazuma, ect.

but also they literally grew up in the same house together and there are quests where kaeya goes back to dawn winery to visit and the family maids talk about serving him breakfast when he was a child and bug him to come back and visit home more often
