Nah, he's only been on one run. I lost the 50/50 for him, and kinda want him, but Furina and the upcoming roster provides some stiff competition.

I'm a swordie, so I'm glad for a chance to get Ayato if those banners are true.

Did you complete the Unfinished Comedy sidequest? Like, every level of it?

I've finished Unfinished Comedy, the Brains And Brawn quest (where you train the nerds to be fighters), the Art of Negotiation, AND I've fought the two guys you can actually don pankration against, as well as waiting for multiple daily resets.

The only thing I haven't done yet is Scenes from Life in Meropide: Visible Hands so I don't know. Have you done all of the The Narzissenkreuz Ordo and Merusea Village quests about Seymour the robot dog too?

How is Baizhu, anyway? He looks neat and I don’t have much interest in Furina. And I could really use a dendro applicator for Raiden and Yae.

baizhu's a good unit but if you just want a Dendro Applier youre better off with nahida. baizhus main advantage is consolidating healing and dendro app.

you know how someone said earlier that Kuki Shinobu was the "comfiest healer for just staying topped up in the overworld" or something like that

yeah that's not Shinobu, it's Baizhu. he heals for gigantic numbers, heals the entire team at once, doesn't need energy or enemies on field to trigger his heals, he's easy to build (~140% ER or less unless you're trying to use him as the only dendro for some reason, 50,000 HP, boom, you're done, no other stat matters), provides quasi-interrupt resistance and buffs dendro reactions. and to top it off slotting Prototype Amber on him is almost as good as his signature weapon lol

he's not an exciting character, he doesn't really enable any unique teams, he's just a 5-star by virtue of being real good at his job

So, because Catepillar's story ends with him going there, I think that's the problem. Have you completed Aqueous Tidemarks yet? (That's a quest at the top level of Fontaine near the Statue of the Seven) You need to do that to go through the Institute of Natural Philosophy and get you into the The Narzissenkreuz Ordo hideout. I can't go back and undo the quests to check myself but if I happen to be right then doing that should give you the last piece and finish things off there. You might not actually have to do Ann of the Narzissenkreuz or Ancient Colors in Merusea Village.

Well I’m sold. Thank you!

I don’t do Abyss at all besides the BP 12-stars, so he sounds good. I’ll need to stack a little more ER, though, since I’ll probably running him with Raiden/Yae/Kazuha.

...Oh my god I never went and found Caterpillar again, and that probably means the game didn't consider Unfinished Comedy completed...

drat I really want Kuki constellations but I don’t want Cyno at all and already have Ayato. I don’t have Kirara either and would like her :/ meanwhile the four stars on Furina’s banner mean nothing to me. I was hoping Kuki might be when Raiden returns (since it isn’t it had better be Sara since I need one more copy of her) or when the Geo character releases.

Apparently the livestream is going to be next Friday now which puts it effectively 5 days before the end of the patch instead of the usual 11 or so. Trailers and such aside at least we known for ages m that Furina and Charlotte are the new banners and its still close to a weeks notice on stuff. Glad this game doesnt do FGO style try to blindside the players as much as possible with whats happening to prevent them from saving approach, not that it would help much with that one. Actually thats the only game I know of really that seems to do that and then immediately goes into maintainance and deploys the new banners.

This however puts it on the same day as the 1.5 livestream for HSR so I dont know if that means they'll back to back it or postpone that one.

Baizhu getting a rerun is exciting if that turns out true. I wasn't playing at all when he came out the first time and having a Dendro healer is exactly what I'd like. Feel like he'd work perfectly with Cyno.

He does! Feels like he was made to help Cyno. The new team will be Cyno->Nahida->Furina->Baizhu.

I would rather have had a Crit Rate hat than a Crit Damage hat, but for now I'll take what it decided to finally give me, and using it gives back the Emblem 4pc bonus. The last ascension will come after 4-5 Ruin Serpent runs and farming umpteen gemstones.

Next project might be fitting my C6 Fischl with Golden Troupe.

Definitely doable in a day, the minigames where all the points/rewards are unlock partway through and go by quickly. It's just the main quest/cutscenes that feel time-consuming.

Around 3.5hrs to do the whole thing start to finish. Just did it earlier today myself. Granted I was tabbed out for a large chunk of it letting the absurdly long talking cutscenes all autoplay, which you would be able to do faster manually clicking through the dialog.

The strings+vocals version of that song they use in the final cutscene is really nice too.

Teenage Klee realizing that Jean can't actually stop her is going to destroy Teyvat.

The whole reason everyone showers Klee every year with attention, treats and holidays to island or theme park destinations is specifically so the daughter of Alice likes them and thus doesn't destroy them all when she grows up.
