Tighnari cons are by far the best ones. They're still not as good as rate up 5* cons but they actually do stuff. Its almost impressive how bad the other ones are tbh. Even Mona's C1 is broken to not extend freeze duration.

C2 Jean is pretty amazing actually. Very good for co-op.

It's got high base damage and ER sub, so it's not really a "bad" weapon on pretty much anyone, except maybe Yaoyao/Thoma/Yunjin?

loving nuts.

My wife did 40 wishes on the Hu Tao banner. She

First 10 pull - Beidou (C1), Beidou (C2), Xingqiu (C0).
Second 10 pull - Ningguang (C1)
Third 10 pull - Keqing (C0), and Lion's Roar sword
Fourth 10 pull - Beidou (C3), Hu Tao (C0).

So then she takes Keqing, Hu Tao, and Xingqiu to 20 for the free wish.

A few pulls on standard banner: Mona (C0)


I'm gobsmacked.


She did another 10 pull and got Xingqiu's C1 and C2.


Fifty wishes in on the new banners got her
3 Beidou
1 Ninguang
3 Xingqiu
1 Keqing
1 Hu Tao

I guess if I view it as basically equivalent to a second copy of The Catch, that's hardly something to be salty about. And it's not like any of the other standard 5-star weapons are that impressive either.

Hm, this weapon banner is almost tempting. I already have a homa, but multiple homas are good. How worth it is that yelan bow for a c0 yelan haver?

Got Yelan within 30 pulls, leaving me with more than enough pulls to have picked up Alhaitham if I had just gone for it :negative:
Well, that's not actually how it works so whatever. Now what am I gonna do for 2 months? Until Baizhu launches. I already had all of Yelan's gear prefarmed for more than a year, and she only got released 8 months ago...

Mika got a big attack buff for some reason, might be interesting seeing if a Crescent Pike Mika (Pika?) build might kinda sorta work. Can't be worse than Qiqi! And if I end up getting Eula in that time then so be it, she can kill overworld hilichurls or whatever. Or I guess I can try for 5 star weapons? The current Homa/Aqua banner and the upcoming desert spear/claymore banner are both pretty decent. But I don't really run teams that revolve around a central "main dps" anymore, so I'm not sure who the weapon would be for. Or I could get Dehya :twisted:

I wish everyone who will be participating in this patch good rolls. Since I am missing 9 characters and have all the 4*s currently and until Mika and Kaveh get added, I am fine holding off for now, since I now only need Alhaitham, Nilou, Cyno, Shenhe, Kokomi, Yoimiya, Ayaka, and Childe.

Still just waiting for that sweet sweet double 5* star a single pull moment.

Him being a modern 4* C6 support really makes going for a niche build like that feel worse, I'm always gonna know there's a nice chunk of phys dmg/crit dmg left on the table.

Actually, they are as good as rate up 5* cons. C6 Tighnari absolutely stands shoulder to shoulder with C6 Alhaitham and Nahida which is kind of insane. Dendro is really really good.

man, the show-off trials for this banner's 4*s are extremely :psyduck:

beidou gets kaeya and superconduct reactions as her only partner, and the trial has two separate solo mitachurls one-at-a-time with no other enemies around so her chain lightning doesn't even work
xingqiu gets a freeze team?!

Beidou makes a sick kind of sense in that it is trying to boost her damage while apparently ignoring her Burst. So you use Cryo and Parry an attack to Superconduct and auto attack whatever health is left.

I think it expects you to autoattack/parry the mitachurls and use the burst to clear the wave in between?

Kaeya shows up in a lot of these because, out of the non-gacha characters, he's the only one that can charitably be called an on-field DPS.

Speaking of Tighnari how are Stringless and Aqua Simulacra on him?

I rolled on the weapon banner, justifying rolling for bigger numbers on the basis of "I use Fischl constantly, I want a five star bow for her. And if I miss it Homa is one of the best weapons in the game."

But then I realized that I have nobody else who wants an R5 lvl 90 Stringless, and that Tighnari is currently settling for the Windblume Ode. And it's not like I don't use him a lot too.

(Enough that I almost skipped Alhaitham between Tighnari and Keqing, but he's so cool and for some reason I love little connections between games so him being a Honkai expy is a massive plus. Especially since Su Honkai is probably the coolest character who isn't playable. Well, maybe second coolest, if you count the exclusively in side events version of Kevin with a personality that includes making tons of ice puns.)

simulacra is okay on him, stringless is pretty bad

tbh slingshot would probably be better on him than windblume

What’s a nice 4* bow on Yelan? Or even 3* I guess, since she’s in the unusual position where it looks like attack is meaningless so she’s not losing anything using a 3*.

Jean has some pretty good ones. Her C2 seems at least as good as some limited 5* constellations (since it's basically a constant 15% attack/movement speed buff).

A 70/80 Yelan with a Favonious bow, Level 1 talents and 5 artifacts with zero synergy is doing a lot of damage. This bodes well.

Finally got a Hu Tao (because I already have a C1 Yelan). Previously I either lost the coin flip or the other banner got the rolls. Even had some good artifacts laying around for her to use.

Also for the new Yelan havers, the AoE on the charged shot is good for 'fishing'.
