You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
You can hit Venti burst victims with Neuvillette, I played that combination a bunch in the last combat event. You might have to stand back a little though, so don't combine it with e.g. Xiangling.

Yeesh I was not expecting Act 1 to be like 4 hours long but all done that now. I assume they're not all going to be quite this long and this was mostly since it was getting the ball rolling from out of Sumeru all the way to setting the stage and introducing Fontaine and it's main players. I'm hard pressed to figure there was any Archon Quest Act, region based, interlude or whatever, of the 25 or so we've gotten in the game that was longer than that.

Just commenting on the things that I see. I don't want a dumb low quality horny posting thread like anywhere else on the internet either, but I don't see how I'm making an inaccurate statement here. I have this hunch that when there's a full character model view of Skirk it's going to be a whole different vibe from that image though anyway.

tell me more about this dream :allears:

Never actually hit the post button on this response lol

So a little while back there was a (debunked) leak that Navia scaled with BASE attack. That's super weird, cause it would mean that only crit stats and damage% would increase her damage. Well, Furina+march hunter are the best sources of that for a geo! But also, there was actually one more thing that could get you more damage: Shatter. Normally it's not even really worth thinking about, but since building EM was pretty much free and there are so few party-wide healers that can also enable non-hydro crystalize, Charlotte here would be a better addition than most. And since pretty much every geo wants geo resonance, Albedo fits in well (as a Furina-boosted secondary attacker). As a bonus his normally pointless EM buff would finally have a use! Kinda!

(Un)fortunately the base stat thing ended up being completely fake (also shatter damage was pretty bad anyway) so the original central idea for the team was a big flop. Might still end up being a good team..! By accident!

This still doesn't help with my falcon shooting problem but I've been told if I get Yoimiya she's got homing arrows that will help me kill birds?? I'm doubtful but I guess I'll pull on her next time if it brings me even a little closer to filling out my archive.

I feel kinda weird when people say that they're not interested in picking up new characters because they already have an established team.

The falcons circling in the sky are too fast for her homing arrows sadly. I found blind fire and praying the only way to hit those bastards.

Mainly if you don't already have a big pile of all the different ascension/talent/gem materials laying around, which typically rears its head if you're either a newer player, or it's a new region.

It's the absolute worst if you also need to farm a specific artifact set with specific stats for them (cough:wanderer:cough), which doesn't fall under one of the existing "general purpose" sets.

Artifacts will always be the worst to me, since most other stuff with a character you know will be done within a week (and I have plenty of fragiles saved).

If you're lazy about farming up things regularly like me a new character is always a pain no matter what really.

I think this is like the first time I've actually done some pre farming for a character getting ready for Baizhu.

And now I'm volunteering at a convention until like Monday so rip.

Especially after Star Rail made it so buttery smooth to get someone up. Talent mats not just being present every single day, how much you have to fight the level up bosses, it's all so annoying, it makes me hate getting new characters in Genshin.

Also not only are the mats not present every day, there's a different domain for every region, and will continue to be so in perpetuity, so now when you have to get materials for one of the, what, ~70 characters, you either wait until Sunday or you're subject to date-and-place for each of them.

Funny, the JP twitter account for Genshin also had a seperate announcement for Skirk and it racked up another 150K likes in about 5 hours. The English one had nothing though. I haven't had a chance to read their feedback but I think this character is going to be much better received design wise in Asia then over here somehow. I think theres just a bit of a wide gulf in what people think of as this powerful master type character maybe. Like NA wants someone that looks like Baiken from Guilty Gear for that role probably.

Also I get the sense that some people with leaks have it all wrong and this is going to be Furinas finest hour in the long run where she hikes up her socks and saves Fontaine instead of just talking smack and looking smug. We'll see....

From the broadcast it sounded like unlocking a character quest via key and activating that quest to be tracked are going to be two different steps now, so yes, at least for that type of quest.

I feel like there's a nice tall peak in the chasm that's slightly easier than the previous "good" spot to shoot down the birds, which was somewhere in liyue?

Please tell me there's just that one achievement and I don't have to spend another 20 minutes mashing L1 to try and shoot down another bird.

? Skirk is voiced by Noto Mamiko ie. Durandul. Jingliu is Kuwashima Houko. Unless Noto voices Scathach i don't play that game.

Notably she also voices everyone's favorite Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, Genocide, Gundam mom, Lady Prospera.

One of these days I'm just going to dive in Hoyo lore just so I can follow along with everything.

Are there any good lore channels on YT worth looking into like with FromSoft games? The Genshin channels I mostly ever see are either shorts channels like m1s3n or team build videos (which I'm not interested in)

For Genshin Lore, Ashikai and Chill With Aster are good, along with CatWithTheBlueHat if you don't mind subtitles.
This is still mostly speculation and side information and not necessary to follow things.

For Honkai Impact lore, if there's a channel besides Homulabs I'd love to hear about it, something about him is a bit dry to me. There's also Hoyostans if you don't mind a website instead of video. But Honkai Impact lore links to Genshin are EVEN MORE speculation and EVEN LESS necessary for Genshin Impact. Still fun though. I think I'd also recommend some effortposts in this thread by Archonex and Kale, whose :words: got me :allears: enough to play HI3.
