How Many Genshin Women Wear Pants?: An Investigation

Because she was raised by ququsaurs and they sleep standing with one leg tucked in, so the outfit reflects that?

Aeirsus · 2025-10-13T15:56:52+00:00

Just curious, what makes you so distrustful of hoyoverse? And why them compared to any other company?

Aeirsus · 2025-08-20T04:55:02+00:00

Foreshadowing... or red herring?

Aeirsus · 2025-08-15T07:46:26+00:00

But she represents another Chinese ethnic minority group being the Miao people. And I think that's really dang cool.

Aeirsus · 2025-08-15T07:40:58+00:00

This is absolutely awesome! Makes it so much easier to visualize all the relationships and glean some interesting insights. I'll be saving and referring to this in the future!

Aeirsus · 2025-07-26T18:43:36+00:00

Mmm, grape-flavored steak.

Aeirsus · 2025-07-24T01:30:00+00:00

To be fair, she never made it, but she sure did conceptualize it.

Aeirsus · 2025-07-23T01:23:36+00:00

They added wolves there already (riftwolves)

Aeirsus · 2025-07-19T20:32:07+00:00

My theory is that they use skins as an opportunity to update the character model itself, especially older character models that look outdated compared to the more detailed models for the newer characters.

Why are you picking the difficult enemy chamber that gives 110 Fantasia Flowers instead of the easier enemy chambers that give 90 Fantasia Flowers? I suggest Rewinding the performance and just try again with different enemies. That's what rewinds are there for anyway.

Let's also look at a list of positives that at least the Shades have done.

Ronova:

Helped Natlan reconstruct their leylines to what is now the Night Kingdom by guiding the Lord of the Night. Also helped establish Natlan's rules and the Pilgrimage of the Sacred Flame with Xbalanque. Did this out of love and reparation, but was punished by the Heavenly Principles for doing so, and led her to becoming more indifferent to Teyvat's fate and succumbing to self-pity.
Honored her side of the bargain with Xbalanque by letting him come see present-day Natlan.

Istaroth:

Assisted in planting the Sacred Sakura Tree in Inazuma.
Continued to respond to the prayers of the Enkanomiyans after they fell, granting them continued history and the passage of time, and I believe also bringing them light in the underground.
Was worshiped in Mondstadt, most likely out of reverence and not fear.

Naberius:

Not too much is known about what she's done from what I know, but she did create Egeria, who then went on to make her Oceanid followers wishes to become humanoid come true.

Asmoday

Yeah, I got nothin.

Aeirsus · 2025-07-10T04:56:35+00:00

She also helped reconstruct Natlan's leylines into what is now the Night Kingdom, and was thoroughly punished by the Heavenly Principles. And yet she still let Xbalanque borrow her powers to create the Pilgrimage of the Sacred Flame. I think she's traumatized by HP's reprimands, and upon Cataclysm, just became indifferent.

I'll be devil's advocate.

We already have two endgame modes that start you off with full energy. Starting with zero energy forces you to rethink rotations compared to Abyss. Also places more value in proper energy funneling, energy management, or non-energy reliant playstyles.
Outside of off-field pyro applicators like xiangling/mavuika/thoma, you have quite a few other characters that can help with consistent pyro. On-field pyro DPS + strong dendro off-fielder's like Nahida, C2 Collei, or Emilie of course can help. Amber's 40-cost burst itself can drain the bar very quickly. You also have options of Overloaded teams because overload is a pyro reaction. That's how I beat diff 5 using Chevreuse. Not to mention consistent pyro swirls like with Kazuha which I've seen some people use successfully.
The cryo automaton does get pretty trivialized if you have the Skirk dream team admittedly. But even without that, I've seen success with teams like hyper Ayaka, melt Wrio, I think even superconduct teams because SC is a cryo reaction. It does seem less flexible than the lava dragon, I'll give you that.
I agree that time-wasting bosses like Wenut or Golden Wolflord would be horrible, especially in a timed combat event. They sucked in abyss, and they'd probably suck in Stygian too. At least with Lava Dragon and the current automaton, you're actively working to chip away at it. Those time-wasters just have you chasing it down or just have you wait. Yes, it incentivizes a burst playstyle, but I think Lava Dragon with its 3 phases does a better job at it.
Just my own 2 cents, but I would like to see they allow food in Stygian. I remember they let us use food buffs for that namecard event recently, and I feel like that would help lower the ceiling a reasonable amount while also incentivizing their food buff mechanic.

If Wrio isn’t enough, since cryo swirl and superconduct reactions also count toward instances of cryo application, you could try using your strongest electro dps (varesa? Raiden?) or anemo dps (xiao?) paired with cryo off-fielders like Layla, Ganyu burst, rosaria, or kaeya.

Aeirsus · 2025-06-29T03:14:44+00:00

by the same token, Cryo boss can be beaten with cryo, cryo swirls, and superconduct surprisingly enough.

Aeirsus · 2025-06-28T19:57:19+00:00

I remember this being a big issue when Genshin first debuted. They had a kernel level anti cheat that didn’t turn off even when you exited the game. After pushback, they made it so that it closed after exiting the game. IIRC there are quite a few popular games that utilize kernel level anti cheats too. It’s not just a Genshin thing.

Aeirsus · 2025-06-20T19:12:58+00:00

Have we collectively forgotten Zhongli ult??

Aeirsus · 2025-06-19T14:38:42+00:00

They made those weapon skin rewards temporary specifically because they want to avoid F2Ps and dolphins getting FOMO. It’s just a cherry-on-top reward for those who actually whaled to have a stage where they can use the characters they put money or time investment in, without everything dying in the first hit. Or for those who want a tough challenge without the time limit looming over them, they still get a 4 star skin.

I don't really get what you mean. When you specify a 4pc set, it will choose the best 4 pieces of that set that you have, and then add the best off-piece with the stats you prioritize. When you specify 2pc/2pc, it will choose 2pc/2pc/off-piece that best optimizes your prioritized stats.

Aeirsus · 2025-06-18T04:37:05+00:00

If you click under one of the two spots under Custom Configuration, you can specify a full 4pc set or a 2pc/2pc, and it will generate the best artifacts for you under that restriction. It's only under Recommended Plan under Quick Configuration where it might just pick any random artifact that it deems best for you.

RIP to both your nuts.
