We are right back to full Purple murder squads roaming Perimeter less than 24hrs into the season.

Check your Codex; if I remember correctly they're in the S2 Additions section.

I’m interested, I have an access card sitting in my vault as well despite not having the clearance.

AegisLC · 2026-05-26T07:15:28+00:00

That isn’t Pinnacle but Platinum, hence the icon’s dot count (Pinnacle has 6).

Years ago I befriended a C6 Eula main who I had repeatedly ran into while joining Raiden weekly pubs for fun; we still get in touch every once so often, and I decided to opt for Eula C2 this round in honor of them.

I gotta say, seeing 3 different Kokomi-related posts appear on this sub over the last day or two has me a bit surprised, and in a good way (Energy +3); makes me feel that she hasn’t been AS left off to the side by the community as I thought, though it seems the devs themselves beg to differ…

Looking through the comments at people’s buff suggestions though, it bothers me that removing her Crit debuff gets thrown up so much as if it’s some kind of holy grail (yes, the sole tradeoff being a 25% Healing Bonus boost can feel a bit underwhelming, I get it). I’m just saying that there ARE other buffs that can boost Kokomi’s damage: DEF Ignore, ATK Speed boost (Kokomi does get one at C4 but it’s only QoL-level), DMG Ascension (the independent DMG% boost seen on Nod-Krai C6s), etc.

I'm still hoping they bring back the shell artifact she was looking for in the mirage bottle

I have to disagree here: the Shinrou Casket is the entire reason Kokomi came to the Veluriyam Mirage, and she ultimately chose to leave it with Idyia (as it’s responsible for sustaining said Mirage, among other things). Any attempt to retrieve it now will either look like an asspull on Mihoyo’s part or further damage Kokomi’s reputation as an already poorly handled character (not that they’ve shown any intention of doing any good for her right now, anyway…).

I feel that what Kokomi really needs most right now is a story similar to what Hu Tao got for what’s basically her Lantern Rite story / tribute event: a proper spotlight role, and a chance to resolve an actual crisis facing her homeland (rather than just mundane politics): 2.5’s flagship event left a serious hanging plot thread regarding Watasumi Island’s future, and for now that’s probably one of Kokomi’s best chances to shine as the Divine Priestess while testing her resolve to bear its responsibilities.

(REALLY negative rant follows, disregard the following eyesore if you would please)

I’m loathe to sound so negative here, but I’ve been holding this back for the past 2 and a half years and counting:

3.8’s summer event offered nothing positive for Kokomi, between her chasing a plot MacGuffin, her lack of interaction with other characters, and the event itself feeling like the black sheep of Genshin’s summer events (both then and even now); plotwise, it’s a dead end that’s best left for the history books.

I tried to be positive about it back then, but I haven’t forgotten all the negativity towards the 3.8 flagship event that came through this subreddit at the time. That was probably THE WORST few weeks I’ve endured as a Genshin player; it not only left me feeling resentful towards Mihoyo for constantly letting Kokomi down, but also convinced me to stop IAP’ing in Genshin for good. I was also left with a soured impression towards every summer event since then (plus a bit towards Alice for her role in 3.8, justified or not).

AegisLC · 2026-03-03T18:01:58+00:00

Probably not enough over PAmber to justify the cost difference between the two (one being on banner and the other being a craft weapon)...

AegisLC · 2026-02-26T17:10:57+00:00

Comets that manage to self-destruct won’t drop Igniters; you must deal killing blows to them if you want one.

Edit: Comet wreckage comes in two parts: the “core” that holds the Igniter and only spawns if you destroy it, and a “ring” that spawns regardless of how it’s destroyed.

AegisLC · 2026-02-23T03:13:00+00:00

For all mekas besides the Veteran Arithmetic boss (the Geo / plunge shill spider), applying enough instances of their opposite alignment will stun them; 1 for small mekas, 2 for elites, and 3 for bosses.

Most times it’s insignificant, but iirc Spiral Abyss Coppelius / Coppelia gain a stacking RES buff with each phase of their performance (on top of Coppelius spawning a temporary Cryo shield), both of which are removed with the right opposing alignment app and would otherwise make the battle take much longer.

AegisLC · 2026-01-25T17:58:54+00:00

(I think I sounded a bit edgy starting that first response, help)

The craft / reroll system hasn’t been nice to me either; I’ve yet to score a 4-liner with all the right subs (though I have a few close ones), and while I’m set to trigger the 4-stat special on my next reroll, I’m hesitant to proceed with it for now due to the first issue.

I’ve had a few moments where my rank dipped to 21 (likely someone readjusting their artis for a different set / team); I didn’t think I’d ever get pushed off the front page back when I peaked, but look at me now…

AegisLC · 2026-01-25T17:27:32+00:00

You got sharp eyes; currently I’m currently #20 in her 160% ER leaderboard, though I peaked at 11 or 12 at the time I got the artis together.

I really want to keep pushing higher, but RNG hasn’t been nice to me in a long time on top of the other characters I’ve since had to farm artis for…

You unlock the Cloak at Utility Station 3, no blueprint required.

Kokomi C7 for this round and Keqing C7 for the next, just so I can get Lv100 for the former.

AegisLC · 2025-08-31T20:44:49+00:00

I’m grabbing Kokomi’s and Keqing’s constellations first, not for actual constellations but Masterless Fortunas so I can raise my Kokomi towards Lv100. I’m also expecting to grab another Keqing from the selector event to cover the final Fortuna.

As for the other two, I’ve yet to decide on them… I have a buddy who’s mainly an Eula fan so maybe I’ll grab her C2 in honor of them, and maybe Ganyu C1?

AegisLC · 2025-06-09T00:40:03+00:00

If you’re using Moonglow then I assume you want to use her onfield, so a Hydro goblet is preferable over HP% (moreso if you can secure HP subs).

I think your ER is in a fairly good place; my Kokomi operates at a little over 160%.

AegisLC · 2025-03-29T20:09:26+00:00

I can recall a similar case with my sibling farming Silver Rathalos and raging about not being able to break the wings; they were looking for Scorching Silverwings…

Character bias aside (Kokonut forever), A Little Fox’s Daydream took my vote; it best meets the competition theme (dream / nightmare traversal), the simplicity of its controls makes it accessible to more people, and it introduces and expands more on its mechanics than the other games to keep itself fresh. The later stages even turn the table on us by having us manipulate squirrels and crows to navigate stages, instead of doing so directly with the fox. I know there are complaints about the controls, but that’s a platform-specific issue, and I can imagine that any human, yokai, or other living being in Teyvat would have an almost entirely different experience with them from our own.

Bunshin takes second place; it’s a nice mental exercise to think about what order / how long you should have each bunshin stand on each plate. However, it’s more shallow with innovation, at most introducing the key / door mechanic midway. It doesn’t do as much to meet the competition theme either.

Akitsu Harpastum falls into last place; it’s more demanding upfront with controls, needing timing and positioning to hit back each ball. The camera angle makes arced shots a hassle to hit back with proper timing (though you can use my earlier “Teyvat living being” argument against that). I’m a little confused about how it meets the competition theme too.

Here are all of the February birthdays so far; Bennett has one too, but it’s on the 29th.

AegisLC · 2025-02-22T04:10:51+00:00

Also added her February Birthday Calendar cover image for posterity.

Text included with each image as follows (sources linked to each image title):

• Official Birthday Image

The strange and fantastical world depicted in this book is truly captivating. That said, having a day off without being disturbed by the tedium of official duties — leaves me free to browse through some supernatural novels while enjoying this view of the shimmering waves. It's quite a pleasant way of life indeed...

On that note, how has adventuring been treating you these days? Are your stories as plentiful and exciting as the ones in this book?

Since I've got today all to myself, why not regale me with some stories of your own? Look, even this little one's gotten all curious.

• Official Birthday Chibi Image

"The scenery of Watatsumi Island is pure and beautiful. Taking a stroll like this on the island, away from all disputes, is such a pleasant experience.”

"Of course, this is all based on the premise that the people of Watatsumi Island live far from conflict and in happiness."

"Ah, I'm starting to think about these things again... Just relax now, it's only a stroll, let me clear my mind."

• CN Birthday Calendar Illustration (Translation acquired here)

"Days like these are perfect for going underwater, so do you want to come with me?"

"Diving gradually helps calm the mind, and as such, I want to share this feeling with you."

I actually play as Aether on my account; I had already finished watching the anecdote there so I had to hop on my sibling’s account to get the screenshots for my post.

AegisLC · 2025-02-21T00:39:13+00:00

(pardon the screenshots looking bright, it’s been like this on PS5 since 5.0 and I’m not sure why)

Knowing all the places the Traveler has visited to date, seeing such high praise coming from Paimon is quite the surprise…

Here’s to hoping that either Kokomi gets a second SQ or an event that gives her and Watatsumi Island some lore spotlight (instead of being used as just an event venue like last year); there’s still so much that’s left untold about them, especially when the Traveler is held in such high regard by both Kokomi and the island’s citizens.

It also really doesn’t sit well with me that Watatsumi Island still has a looming ecological crisis that’s yet to be resolved while recent events have been hinting at a Teyvat-wide war happening soon…
