Same, but why does she have to be lightning? I have Jing Yuan and Kafka. I really don't need another lightning DPS. But she's just so cool I'm gonna roll for her anyway :kimchi:

I'm no fan of Aventurine's character, but my roster is largely follow-up attackers and I do desperately need another good sustain to go with my Luocha.

March isn't getting a "new form" but she will be able to switch paths in a similar way to the Trailblazer. Was a tease of things to come. Something they are apparently going to experiment with for the "permanent express crew".

They suggested it was less changing paths and more "making memories". As a way to change up her gameplay/abilities.

I do think we'll eventually get a 5 star banner March with a big story beat behind it. But that might not be for many updates so they're doing something with her on Penaconey so she isn't so left behind.

Edit: Honestly I think that she might just get different elements to pick between, "Memories" of Penaconey let her use Imaginary element etc. With her ult debuff changing to the appropriate break effect debuff.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Welp, guess the theory that Luocha and Jingliu are only rerunning when we go back to Xianzhou was wrong

Kinda works for me, I suppose, I wouldn't mind if I accidentally get E1 Luocha while pulling for Gallagher

Yeah, I can see March being willing to experiment more than the others, with maybe the eventual 5* March being her true name and the path she was on before she was sealed in ice. But I do like the idea of all the Astral Express crew moving to different paths along their journey; while Dan Heng will always have DanIL in his pocket, I can see him wanting to use a different path for power if he can avoid it.

Somehow I will get the next iteration of Welt/Himeko before I pull them off the standard banner :argh:

EDIT: Actually now that I think about it, does that mean we could get 4* versions of Welt/Himeko? New path, less experienced?

In all fairness the Paths people have as units aren't necessarily the Path they actually follow.

Sampo is Nihility but a follower of Elation. Black Swan is Nihility but a follower of Remembrance. The Trailblazer, specifically, is following the paths of the Aeons with each new form, but that's because we've got magic super space cancer powers from the Stellaron (probably).

DHIL is a Scion of a Path that flat out isn't a player character option (Long the Permanence). Argenti follows Beauty.

So I would think 4 Star Himeko or Welt would be less about following a new path, and more about say. Time travel or Remembrance Memory fuckery.

Much like yes, 5-star March is probably her remembering her true past after being stabbed through the chest. Although I do like the theory that she'll end up a Hunt character when that happens.

Edit: Also I think this is more about making sure that the units you literally always have (March 7, Trailblazer, Dan) are a little more functional/flexible for the purpose of always having a semi-viable team for story stuff even if you haven't rolled the Gacha much.

Man 2.1 is stacked for me:

Acheron - rule of cool, cool mechanics. Would need the most work from me to get a team built around her but what a team!

Luchoa - awesome healer, has cleanse! Current sustains are gepard and lynx (and Natasha I guess) so he’s a welcome addition.

Aventurine - king shithead (laudatory). Would be another welcome sustain to my team though I’m not that invested in FuA (just ratio, Clara and the piddly Kafka talent. March exists). Fun character.

Jingliu - is jingliu.

I can only likely get one so I’ll be pondering until the last possible minute probably. Good job hoyo.

Oh no, I really want to get Jingliu this time around, but Aventurine is higher priority. Hopefully I can scrape together enough tickets for both, but I'll need some luck, too. At least they're both second half, and there is the anniversary bonus.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Looks like you can grab a freebie Gallagher from a 4 star selector from the bartending event if someone wants him but doesnt want to risk Acheron or Luocha. Very stacked patch, I'm glad I got my E1 Luocha the first time around for one less thing to worry about.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
What finally convinced me to pull for Acheron was her technique. The faster I can auto my way through the game’s content the better.

Acheron's technique is kind of crazy, and her ultimate looks awesome. I was going to pull for her anyway, but I think she might be my favorite character now.
