I’m still gonna guess that Marsha Hua will have Senti’s personality

I can see Senti as many different things. But the leader of the Xianzhou is not one of them. They're way too stuffy to be lead by someone as cool as Senti. I'm expecting joyless no mercy for the corrupted Hua.

Senti will be her foxian assistant who spends every moment annoying the gently caress out of her.

yelled at for having.
I feel incredibly stupid asking since I haven’t seen anyone else have an issue with it, but end of current patch how did people set their teams for the aventurine boss fight? I got wrecked with one sustain. Then wrecked even harder with two because neither of them could aoe and win the gamble. Seemed like the answer was to find a sustain with decent aoe but I don’t think I have one

I haven’t had any issue with a trailblaze or story quest outside of the first time I tried Argenti, so I feel like I’m missing something really easy

Phys TB/March/Natasha/no fourth slot

TB and March win, March protects/cleanses Nat when she loses. Boss doesn't ramp up their damage so slow & steady works fine

Fireblazer/Silver Wolf/Qingque/Lynx. I just went cautiously and did my very best to keep Lynx alive, squeeze in damage where I could, maintain Quantum weakness as much as I could without jeopardizing Lynx's skill cost, and complete the gimmick as much as I could to limit pain. I barely scraped a pre-nerf win.

I ran Pela Acheron Sparkle Gallagher, died like one turn from the end first try but got it on the second. I was underestimating the fight the first time and made some stupid choices. Funny part is I still don’t really understand the gamble mechanic but I guess I’ll be forced to eventually when it hits MoC.

This was shortly before I got Gepard so I probably would have brought him if I did. Gallagher with Huohuo LC did just fine though.

I ran with Huohuo, Kafka, Black Swan, and Asta, pre-nerf. Huohuo and Asta had enough health to survive without too much of an issue, and Kafka was more than fine. Black Swan simply took his ult to the face during the second phase and died. C'est la vie.

This might be a game breaker for me that I didn’t even think of, thanks! I’ve gotten down to 30 or so on the final phase but just couldn’t survive. Tinkering a bit then trying this, and will check out some other suggestions here if it doesn’t work. Thanks all!

The trick is Each character in your party is individually gambling against Aventurine to see who rolls the highest number on the dice. Aventurine attacks whoever rolls a number lower than his. So you want characters who can AOE multiple dice to roll them, since single-target attacks or not attacking dice = lose the gamble = ow capitalism twink killed me.

I just used Fu Xuan and slept through it not being able to ever kill a character if I kept her skill up. It wasn't very good or fun!

Ah, I was thinking it was just random but now it makes sense why the first run failed since I was holding ults until after the last dice phase. Also knowing that, the comic is incredibly good and consise lol - thanks!

i mean theres a lot of other missable hidden achievements. and some hidden achievements that are mutually exclusive.

like there's an achievement for skipping the dan shu stuff in the xianzhou story but you couldnt even do that until 1.2 so if you did the story before then thats one achievement you can never get. and theres an achievement for doing them too so those are mutually exclusive.

and theres an achievement for having argenti in your team in su when you get the knights of beauty event so like, if you have no interest in rolling for him you're never getting that.
