She always says stuff like ERROR or Rebooting... in Mondstadt at least in my game :psylon:

More will be revealed after a painfully long quest that will not acquaint you to the city or it's people in any way, just dialogue. All dialogue.

The exploration is not good enough if you are bothered by the archon quest this much

Zhongli might've lost favor pre-buff as far as utility, now he's a no-brainer based on him giving elemental shred and atk boost via his BiS artifacts

Yes, the cabbage was well and truly won me over as well. If it weren't for the fact that she's 3 patches away

3.2 was the earliest assumption so I hope you didn't spend last week assuming she was 3.4

Also patches are 5 weeks now for the rest of the year which is 7 days per patch shorter of primos

Yeah I've just been doing like 1-2 aranara quests a day since it's permanent. The quests are cute, it's basically a FF14 beast tribe quest.

Cinematics is definitely a factor because they explicitly deleted old ones to create room for 3.0. The game is still mostly for phone users as far as the fanbase, unfortunately.

Kokomi's niche is that she can put "slow" hydro application at 100% uptime while also having hydro normals.

In a super min-max mega gamer mode, you don't need a healer because you're dodging all attacks with burst timings. But for the 99% mere mortals, she's a good hydro slot that also fills in buffer+Healer all in one.

Collei is like designed wrong on purpose. Her dendro application is too slow. I guess eventually they'll make a character that doesn't want too much dendro for some reason, but ????

The way mihoyo is releasing dendro is odd. We're apparently getting two more cryo characters before the next dendro after nahida which is at least 3.6??

I'm only missing Tighnari, Itto, Yoimiya, Xiao, Ganyu. And those characters I purposely avoided rolling.


This upcoming pair of patches coming up is maybe the first time ever I will skip someone I want, since I'm ground zero at pity, but want Nahida/Nilou/Dehya.

I don't think Nahida will be a healer just because Baizhu exists and he will 100% be the dendro 5* healer. Also in the terms of shoving more utility into an archon's kit, she's gonna use catalyst and if she doesn't heal but can use prototype amber with Raiden tier utility?

Baizou is currently slated to not come out for at least like 6 months unless they update the 3.4 leaks.

Absolutely not, but I still got the "twist," and I'm sorry, what's the difference? If the protag wakes up multiple times to the same thing and they have to figure out how to stop it, it's a time loop episode. At least with star trek it's over in 45 minutes.

Probably 4x Severed Fate set prioritizing Crit, %ATK, and %HP stats. I usually play Zhongli as a 60k health shield bot, and my burst crits for around 40k. I’m not sure how much damage you gain by trading away unbreakable shields, but I tend to think your overall damage is higher by skipping the burst and letting your dedicated DPS characters handle enemies.

My meteors are like 30k with slapped together 4 piece tenacity and black tassel, weird

Greetings goons. I haven’t played since like 2.2, but want to hop back in to explore the new overland content. Have there been any fundamental changes to the game since then? Besides new characters/weapons/Dendro.

The Dendro Traveler would be fine if they didn't have the absolute worst skill. Stubby short, absolutely 0 vertical range, like using it on a slope basically is a waste of time and its cooldown is too long for how basic it is.

Honkai is an extreme case of balancing where the game for 90% of the main story and side events don't use units. At all. You can literally never roll and get through most of the content.

You only need units for the weekly challenges that give crystals, which is only used to get units to keep up with said challenges. It's very weird, even Genshin allows you to use your own units for events most of the time.

Hyper Inferno posted:

Upcoming Cyno seems pretty reliant on normal attacks and wants enough ER to essentially be in burst 100% of the time so Skyward Spine might be an option there. But from what I've read, he generates a lot of particles regardless so maybe the ER substat isn't super necessary.

He won't have ER issue if there's another electro in the team due to resonance. One of his best weapons is like a white tassel, next to deathmatch and kittan spear.
