It says that Jean's mother was a knight and her dad was an adventurer, after a while he went into the church becoming the deacon or something. They got divorced and mom kept custody of Jean and dad of Barbara. It also mentions they aren't really any speaking terms

Pierson posted:Is hard-countering elements with under-levelled teams better than just kind of brute-forcing them with at-level teams? I'm running into a problem where the artifacts I want are from domains that are awkward to face with my Diluc team since they're either full of fire shields or have leyline disorders that punish Fire/Lightning reactions. With the amount of resources it takes at higher levels I could probably bring my entire B-team up to 60-70 for the cost of taking my Diluc and Fishl team to 70-80. You should have at least one carry to 80 since level scaling is a thing that will cut back on a lot of your damage. The way I see it the best way to level is always have a carry 10 levels above your support team till the supports get to ascension 4, then you leave them parked at 60 till you get your carries to 80. After you have all your support teams at A4 and two carries at 80 you can start bothering getting your other supports up. I never once noticed a significant boost in world level difficulty following this rule.

I have Jean and Barbara and ever since I learned how strong Xing barbara has never been in my A team. Jean barely ever leaves my party, because I've grown used to having a tanky character soak up damage and heal the party when poo poo hits the fan.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I know that if I could roll on a specific 5* weapon then there are some I'd rather have than a 5* character. The gravestone comes to mind. The problem is that that's not how the weapon banner works. I spent like a hundred bucks trying to get Klee's book for her after getting her without issues with relatively low free pulls. I didnt get it, I got two of the GSs though and a full slew of sacrificial weapons. The sacrificial sword, bows and book have gotten me more use than what the book would have gotten me. It is insane how well the sword works on XQ, the bow is bar none the best for Diona. I'm sure that eventually a GS support unit will benefit from that too. I'm sad that there was no sac spear because hell it probably would have ended up being the best weapon for Zhongli too.

I haven't really notice what Fischl is even saying in jp other than how verbose the the text makes it appear but shes not even being chuuni by saying words in other languages. She's talking in a haughty way with some anachronistic words, the localization is taking huge efforts to convey how much of a dork she is.

The BP is the second best thing you can spend money on in the game. The resources you get far outweigh the 9 blue weapons and 4* character/gear you'll get from a $25 dollar pull.

Ibram Gaunt posted:Well you see. It's a game, where all the units theyre pumping out are cute guys, rather than cute girls like every other gacha game that exists besides the one bara game with the dudes with gigantic packages. They are only balancing the scale since 4/5 standard 5* units the game launched with were girls. We are still 3/8 of in game 5* being males. So Zhongly, Xian, and Albedo can come out and they'd just be slightly above the average number of 5* and chances are Inazuma is going to be girl heavy.

The lightning archon is supposed to be female too, and a huge chunk of the datamined characters that were pulled out of the files are women too. They could have easily balanced thing a bit by having Xian be one of the 5 base characters and taken Qiqi or Keqing be in a banner but I guess they (correctly) thought people would get mad if the girls were limited over the boys.

Xun posted:How does sacrificial sword work with xingqiu anyway? I thought it seemed kinda overkill like having sacrificial fragments on barb but everyone is saying he wants it You want it to use it twice immediately so that he has near constant uptime on his burst. Sac weapons are great because of the energy generation, I don’t need to run two ice units to have Diana’s burst on all the time, I don’t need two water units to have XQs. With my current comp I’m just cycling through bursts all the time

moush posted:Pleasantly surprised by the story/writing for this event. I can only hope that Mihoyo is able to keep up the development speed so people don't get bored and drop off. Geo can shatter so the idea would probably be to run XQ, Diona and or Chong with Zhongli to improve the damage. Probably wont hit as hard as Diluc Chong melt comp but you get the added benefit of the damage bypassing resistances and the geo shields giving you extra heft

A bunch of units like Diona and XQ sort of need sacrificial weapons to really go from ok to great. Diona has the same behavior with the bow, her E shots all have an independent chance of triggering it the cooldown reset so they always reset when you charge shot. Shooting twice will fill up your bar pretty quickly as long as you have a bit of energy recharge. So you have near constant access to her field. For fights against ice mobs where your field isnt as important you can stagger the charged Es to maximize the effect of the shield. It can tank a lot as long as diona has some health.

No Wave posted:Having owned both, not really. I don't see it as a huge upgrade. The only upside of it is that it is an upgrade on one of the best/most useful units in the game which makes it more valuable than most other purchases by default. I think removing the conditional element of his burst and adding even more attack on it is worth way more than just about any other 4* the game has released so far other than XQ. A lot of the lists put him at the top even above a lot of 5* and they all seem to make the distinction of him having C1 whereas other characters are at 0. So if you have glitter, have XQ or XQ isnt the next glitter character, use bennet constantly, then get that C1. Ashenai posted:That's not what I mean, I mean that instead of buying the character for 34, you could use 35 starglitter to buy 7 pulls instead. So when you buy a character, you're giving up those 7 pulls. I dont think you are going to miss all those 3* weapons. A character or constellation are worth more than that. Pinpointing important constellations, in absence of a universal constellation upgrade for 4* and 5*, is worth more than spinning the roulette. Delaying an offbanner/banner pull by 7 pulls is not nearly as bad as missing out key characters or constellations Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Nov 24, 2020 |

Kild posted:They wanted to use her as a support for some reason when it was clear she was a good fire carry. I mean her burst being usable like a fire version of XQ would have been sick nasty but most people played her down because her auto attacks deal less damage than other carries and she has really clunky feel to her. No one knew at the time that she was a gremlin that always had to be jumping or stutter stepping.

Hipster Occultist posted:After playing Zhongli in his quest his playstyle didn't really grab me, so I decided to see if I could get a C1 for Childe with the few hours that were remaining on the banner. She works fine as either a healing support or as a secondary carry if you stack enough phys damage. I play her like a sort of paladin, tanky bruiser that can soak up damage when I know I wont be able to dodge a mechanic and flash heal the entire party with her Q. I might swap out her offensive gear now that I got skyward and slap my ventis viridescent in for her instead so shes full support. Her E is really fun too and useful tool. You can snap things out casting so you prevent enemies from re-applying their shields, you can knock enemies up and if they have a lot of health they take 20-30k fall damage, she can suck poo poo and hold them while other people hurt them. Really missed opportunity from the developers not to have one her constellations grant her Q the ability to suck poo poo in with each swirl pulse. It would have really made her insane.

I thought that if they ever added "alter" characters in the game they could add a "Liontooth Jean" thats just a pure offense version of her but then I remembered that the whole Liontooth/Dandelion wordplay is completely lost in english. She doesn't have two titles like the english localization suggests, she only has one that gets mangled by english into two.

Honestly the best thing to do is give the characters a test run to see if you enjoy playing them more than anything. I wish the test runs had more varied teams so you could really give things a shake with more reactions and such but as you play more and get more characters you start getting a better feel if things will synergize well. If I dont enjoy playing Zhongli it will seriously cut my desire to roll in the banner since I'm close to pity. I really want constellations for Razor too since I enjoy playing him though and he's my second carry.

I'd always think double geo would be super strong with damage that dont give any fucks about reactions but its just not viable currently in a lot of content that puts you against 3 different types of fatui unless they add an universal fatui shield stripper character or add some sort of reaction that neutralizes shields regardless of element. Like geo + dendro or something stupid.

3 single pulls into the banner and it flashes gold, and Im screaming mad thinking I got Zhlong instead Diluc popped up. I dont see myself using him anytime soon but guaranteeing the next to be on banner is a good thing. So I decided to do more pulls now that thats out of the way, pulled the girl after like 30 pulls but not a single Razor. But two Chong constellations means I might opt to use him as my non fire carry. Ive got Wolfs Gravestone AND Skyward Pride Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Dec 2, 2020 |

This is not a collectathon gacha game, the rates just aren't there. The best way to play this is entirely F2P and rolling with the characters you can pull, its more challenging that way and legitimately can be funner than having a unit completely trivialize something. If you do like the game and would have more options available your best bet is spending the extra 5 bucks. Combined with dailies and other freebies you can expect around 40 pulls a month, that aint bad gacha wise for 5 bucks, its just that the rates for this game suck But even if the rates suck, the sparking system doesn't. The probability to get a 5* skyrockets at the 70s mark and the pity carrying over through banner means you dont ever need to horde excessively. They have a trial system that lets you test out the characters before you even roll on them and story quests that let you bring in your own party as well. It gives you a good feel for the unit and whether or not you want to go in on them. Thats genuinely better than most other gacha games.
