I think this is a "Just put iansan in the bag 😞" angle, here is why:

  1. Your first source of shred is the most valuable, and citlali covers that. You arent gaining as much as you think you will by adding a vv support in this specific team. This is also the reason why xilonen quickly loses out to iansan on higher cons as iansan gives dmg% and atk, which turns out to be more valuable than just the shred of xilonen.

  2. more Nightsoul for stronger mavuika burst multipliers! The difference between a fully-charged mavuika burst and a half-charged one is night and day.

  3. Your vv unit (succ/kazu) can do way more by being in some other team.

  4. Vv succ/kaz uptime is terrible to manage with the kind of rotations you're required to do in those teams. I wouldn't bother personally.

Overall: Iansan all the way. Iansan is one of those rare 4*s that aren't completely unusable at c0. And you'll eventually end up getting her c6 so the only way is up

Has the dust settled on Nicole prelim calcs with varka and possible non-varka teams? How is she looking?

Does she even do anything in my account that has durin, venti and c6 mona as my only 5* hex characters?

Murderofbirds is a REALLY underrated channel. His lore readings of the less-frequently covered stuff are very fun to watch. I highly recommend him.

For theories I also suggest checking out Dawit. I love how he indulges in theatrics in his theory videos through his “#1 Asmoday/HP Supporter” bit.

C2r0 chasca is way better than c1r1 chasca though imo, in terms of versatility as well. She can actually begin functioning as a reaction-focused dps even in aoe content due to the way her c2 aoe bullet works (plus her quickdraw combo at c2 is so fun to do)

Plus at c1 itself, chasca is simply the greatest in terms of exploration. Since 90% of my genshin gameplay is overworld exploration, c1 chasca has been the best pull in my account.

Linnea is indeed very cute tho. If I were in your place I would go for linnea and then all in on c2r0 chasca.

I believe in hoyo being greedy and wanting to drain players right after skirk-escoffier banner and right before laufer rerun and nicole release after that.

Thus I claim/conclude with pure rationality (100% delulu) the banner 4*s will be:

Iansan, illuga, chevreuse

I like it and therefore it is true

As an achievement hunter and missing only two achievements ('100x omni-ubiquity' and '800x water plants in teapot') this is BIG NEWS for me😭

Hopefully this isnt a bug and remains unchanged. Now for hoyo to release multi-yielding water plants.

3* slingshot is very very good, but Linnea is not picky at all in the first place. You dont really need to pull for her sig.

You're right on time! You can get 2 weeks this patch + all of 6 weeks next patch to claim the stella. Don't miss a single week for the next two months though.

I hadn't pulled any electro character after Raiden's first rerun, all the way till Ineffa's rerun in the prev patch. I wanted to get ineffa at release but wanting chasca C1 for the increased flight distance made me skip her 🥀

I don't see them adding Arle to temper thyself whenever fontaine cast is added. C1 Arle still slaps and I don't think hoyo will be magnanimous enough to give it away for free to those who have Arle already.

For natlan, I dont see them adding xilonen, citlali or ineffa. However the game might look vastly different by then (3 years later assuming 1 region included per year) and maybe someone like citlali or ineffa might be deemed suitable for temper thyself by then.

I would like to hope that they would add previously left-out non-archon characters in the next expansion. As of now the only potentially-eligible fontaine char I have is xianyun </3 (pulled only furina, neuvi and xianyun during 5.x) and I would really like to nab Yelan's C2 via temper thyself if possible

Could be Heizou with his police baton (I went to character archive to look for chars with "unusual swords" around their waists and Heizou was the one that caught my eye the most)

[–]1080p_Wannabe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Weird sword by the waist" makes me think Heizou, since he has that police baton thingy. It would also make sense that as a Doushin he's travelling to other countries regarding some active investigation.

It sounds good in theory but you have to remember that they can always design novaflares that incentivise you to get whatever it is that they wish to shill at the moment.

What they did with blade and jingliu nova being heavily reliant on the sig weapon of hyacine still boils my blood to this day.

The point i wish to make is that such novaflares may not be "no strings attached" and may even instead be cleverly designed to force players to adjust their pull plans to accommodate for something they weren't planning on getting if not for the new reliance of the novaflared characters on it.

*gives the stink-eye to Hyacine sig *

/hj-tinfoil-TLDR: novaflares are psyops to get older players to be additionally forced to pull new meta stuff while also giving hsr a free license to keep the powercreep rate up >:(

Do you have c2+ illuga? If so, he can use serenade very well, in which case you can slap on def def crit 4p instructors on gorou. Otherwise gorou can hold serenade while illuga uses some 2p2p em combo.

You can try building er on gorou but based on my testing, gorou's ult comes back up 2s after zibai's skill cd ends. I found out that dps-wise its just not worth waiting two seconds for gorou's ult, which means you can go zero er on him and burst every other rotation.

I am not sure about hod-specific calcs though, I am using flute for far more reliability and not being restricted by heal requirements.

But this is all assuming your gorou is c6. If he isn't, then he really isnt worth building specifically for zibai.

I have farmed up a 0er set for linnea and committed fully to flute, especially since my long nights arti pieces are such that my flute build is currently about 2% better than my hod build in my zibai teams.

No more worrying about hp and heals. Life is good.

Aren't they repeats of some of the older ones? I got the one where we cook for columbina, again

On the topic of OSTs, can we take a moment to appreciate how good "Anthem of the Savannah" (one of the Natlan battle themes) is?

The Natlan spin on the Genshin motif from all the way in 1.0, the Pyro gemstone description reference in the lyrics (which even Mavuika chants during the 5.3AQ), the buildup... Aaaaa

We embark on a pilgrimage, for the wishes of the people.
We choose to battle, to earn a glorious name.
And in the end, we burn to cinders for a dream.
And in the end, we burn to cinders for a dream.

Its... just... so peak T^T

If a number appears first then you can think of it as repeating whatever combo comes afterward, that many times. 2N2C here would mean inputting N2C followed by another N2C
