Did some pulls and got a Xiao and felt pretty good about that, then looked over and saw my boyfriend pull C2 Xiao and then the Jade Spear back to back. welp :shepface:

I have a Skyward Spine, but I don't know who it'd be better for, Zhongli or Xiao? I have Favonius Lance and Deathmatch as alternatives for whoever doesn't get it, but I like both characters and plan on using both as carries, so... :shrug:

This camera event is the worst event ever. It is almost impossible to predict what color it will decide your photo is.

That's because it's randomly determined. You take photos of poo poo that's the color (today's being red means, like. silk flowers, apples, fire flowers, etc), and any dupes you can trade with people on your friends list to ensure you can get a full set (I dont know if its guaranteed to always give you a set each day, though).

I know slamming multiple 6*s together will always be good in this game but there's something incredibly satisfying about putting Zhongli's shield and Qiqi's orb on Xiao and just liquifying enemies with his ult without any HP concerns. Bonus if it's in Bennett's ult zone. Xiao's a ton of fun and putting something like the Favonius spear (or, well, SS) on him helps a lot with his energy issues.

it loses 5% or 10% of its health each time you have a shield when it does its big attack and it does it anywhere between 3-5 times per fight depending on how long it takes for you to kill it

not only that, if you use a geo shield or a shield matching the element it's infused with when you fight it, the amount of HP it loses is significantly more. Zhongli or Noelle make the fight a lot easier to deal with, to the point my boyfriend and I literally sat down and farmed the mats we'd need from it to take Xiao to lv80 in like an hour or so

Huh? What?


I really wanted Qiqi because she paired well with Razor, and now that my Xiao has replaced Razor as one of my carries she serves him very well (especially when you use her ult before his, it completely erases the HP drain). Slap a Sucrose in the team for the anemo res and use the last slot as a flex (Fischl, Xiangling, XQ/Mona, etc) and just wreck face.

I was originally planning to pull for Hu Tao because I like her design and her kit seems fun, but I already am working on Xiao and ZL as my two carries so I think it'd probably be better if I pulled for Staff of Homa instead and then just sat on primos until we get a Venti rerun. Which sucks, because again, I know I'd have fun with her, but I also don't know where I'd slot her in on the teams I'm already working on. (Maybe a co-DPS with Xiao? idk)

Jan 24, 2021

Huh? What?


Did a bunch of pulls and didn't get Hu Tao but DID manage to get C5 Chongyun and C3 XQ, so it's not a complete loss. Might try to at least hit pity before her banner ends. Boyfriend's really sad though bc he got her really quickly, lol. Thaaaaaaat's gacha

Jan 24, 2021

Huh? What?


Well, I hit pity, but got Jean instead of Hu Tao. On the one hand, I'm happy because Xiao is one of my carries and she seems to be a really good foil to him. On the other hand, I really wanted Hu Tao. Going to resist the urge to :shepspends:

Jan 24, 2021

I'm mostly torn between whether to go for Childe or Eula as who to blow my guaranteed pity on. My current carries are Xiao and a ZL/Ning hybrid, but sometimes I want something different... :shrug:

Jan 24, 2021

Huh? What?


From the datamines its in the same category as the bow that's on rate-up right now, but its secondary stat is Phys DMG% and when you consume its Sigils it boosts ATK% and ATK SPD; even though the buffs are different it can't stack with the bow's sigil buff.

Jan 24, 2021

Huh? What?


I read it as the two can't stack because they both have the same buff name, but since we only have one weapon in the set available right now we'll just have to wait and see how they interact :shrug:

I'm pulling on this banner as much as I can because hey, I'll take a C2 Zhongli, and if I get a 5* that's not him, well, I also like what's been "shown" for Eula, so win-win

Yanfei's kind of a 'well ill take it' bc i've...basically never used pyro while playing this game despite getting a c6 xiangling back at launch and immediately benching her lol

Tae posted:

The game forces you to use pyro, how

my main carry for most of the early game was Razor who said I didnt need to care about elements that much :shrug:

and then my second 5* was Zhongli (first was Mona, but pbbhtttt if you think im gonna use her lol) so I basically never really had to care about elements that much until I started getting units like Xiao or, more recently, Childe. I dont have the other big carries like Diluc, Klee, Ganyu, or Keqing, but gently caress if I don't have basically every support 5* this game has ever loving introduced that isn't Venti :thumbsup:

I went into the teapot and immediately felt exhausted just looking at all the free space to put stuff down in, but I think that's also just residual fatigue from spending multiple hours per day over the course of like a week getting my xiv house set up and I'll feel better about it when its not 2:30am

The Fatui are Snezhnaya's military force and the agents we've seen in the story are "diplomats" who are actually there to essentially wait for the ideal moment to take advantage of some issue and weasel their way into the local politics scene. They have a bad reputation in the other nations because they've historically been deceitful and conniving and INCREDIBLY eager to gain influence in the surrounding nations; their biggest issue is that they are AWFUL at hiding their intentions so pretty much everyone with half a brain knows they have ulterior motives in most of the things they say and do and don't trust them on principle until proven otherwise.

There's also historical precedent for any villages/cities theyve managed to dominate being ran into the ground with taxation and inhumane capitalistic demands; Snezhnaya is the most technologically advanced nation, and that status comes at a very human cost. This also implies that their nation's borders have been gradually expanding over time as they take over more areas. Obviously, the grunts aren't "in on" what's going on and a solid chunk of them aren't even military (these are not the ones we fight in the field, these are NPCs like Viktor).

The Harbingers are the leaders of the military, but its not a case of having legions or specific detachments so much as its more that they're agents that have their own assignments/missions and the normal Fatui have to follow their orders while they're around- this is why even though Childe is the only Fatui stationed in Liyue, he's doing his own thing- he's not their overseer, he's just a higher-up that they have to humor if he asks for anything. (If you're interested, their naming convention actually comes from commedia dell'arte, a type of Italian theater which uses masks to designate what that character's role in the story is- Tartaglia is the lower class, clumsy jester who trips both over his own feet and over his own words, La Signora is the tough, beautiful, calculating woman who mocks others and manipulates even her own equals to suit her needs, Scaramouche is the unscrupulous villain with a penchant for intrigue and a tendency to be unreliable, often to his own detriment, etc)

I imagine its also a case of not wanting to piss off the largest military on the continent and give them any reason to consider invasion by force. If it's just a case of keeping an eye on the (very obvious) "diplomats" that they send and to keep them from getting their fingers into any particularly troubling pies that's a lot more manageable, which is probably also why Liyue let them set up that Bank

Traveller posted:

And odds are the Tsaritsa wants to flip off the gods. From what I'm picking up, she was very let down by the glassing of Khaen'riah and other archons like Zhongli and Venti siding with Celestia - regardless of whether they had a choice in the matter, the Dendro archon of the era might have gotten killed for standing against it - and gave up on the concept she was supposed to embody, Love, to take the fight to the dick gods.

Since the current Sumeru Archon ascended right around the exact same time as 500, whether they're pro or anti Celestia is going to be very interesting because they basically inherited a very troubled position, lol. We know theyre the youngest of the seven, so i think it really depends on how long pre-Khaen'riah it was that Tsaritsa ascended (and possibly the specifics of her ascension). I'm hoping when we go to Inazuma we get some details on how Baal ascended and what the previous Archon was like, as she's the first of the non-original Archons we'll be meeting.

Razor and Lisa

Razor's is easy, he wants a world where humans and wolves can co-exist and not fight. Literally by continuing to live as a human among wolves he's asserting his will for this kind of co-existence to continue (esp now that he has some friends from Mondstadt to ensure that he's part of both worlds)

Lisa, yeah, she's a bit more of a mystery, but we also know for sure she is still considered the best student that the Academy in Sumeru ever had, and her move to Mondstadt was considered weird by them at the time, so we'll probably find out more about that when we actually visit Sumeru.

In what way is Inazuma equal in substance to the original launch? Is it that big?

Remember that both Dragonspine and the back half of Liyue's story were not in the game at launch; they're probably including story in that comparison

(spoilering this because its leak tied) if the map that's been leaked is accurate, Inazuma is probably going to be around the same size as Mondstadt + Dragonspine, but because it's islands there's less actual land (and probably some stuff in the water to do, like the hilichurl platforms/outposts)
