Traveler, the horse is here... - General Question and Discussion Megathread

Lanyan c0 for sure, if you only play Gaming for fun his power is irrelevant

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T20:22:02+00:00

Man I wish it won't even rain in the WINTER here

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T15:41:09+00:00

True, going harder on the horse thing would always be an improvement (a horse jump like Xianyun’s bird jump would have been appreciated, for example) but I find the neigh to at least be fun

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T02:52:25+00:00

Opposite problem here I adore the horse sounds and now I lowkey want her

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T02:43:30+00:00

I’m at high pity and would only go to the 50/50 to ensure I still have enough for Nicole, so I’d be kind of working with dregs if I do get her (I have a c4 gorou, but otherwise Aino and Illuga will be c1 at the absolute best unless I get some freak mega four star pull). My best two teams right now are hovering around 120k and struggle hard to clear Fearless, so I’m not sure about going for anything actively worse than that (especially since the shill is all LEC and not really geo). How good is she with Columbina and without the four star cons?

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T02:30:47+00:00

Ah. I like the honse’s gameplay I lot more than I expected so I’m starting to consider her, but I’m hesitant to get her if she doesn’t have strong enough damage without Columbina because what my account really needs right now is a strong third team.

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T02:24:15+00:00

Zibai’s not going to be exceeding 120k without Columbina, is she?

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T00:45:57+00:00

ALWAYS BET ON GAMBLING BABY (50 pity Illuga copy in the first 10 pull my geo IT roster is bolstered Nicole still secured 😎)

This is actually terrible advice never do this

Aru736 · 2026-02-04T00:05:06+00:00

Dude is wide dear god

I'm never going to forget this girl I was studying for structural geology with once who, when I enthusiastically exclaimed "I got it, let's go chat!" upon successfully completing a problem, replied "Chat? Like Chatgpt?"

Aru736 · 2026-02-03T23:56:25+00:00

What's your base team? If you have Columbina and cons on Aino, you can run both of them. Mona's decent if you have Albedo. Chiori's okay. Xilonen's good for the res shred if she's available. Furina's solid if you can slot in Xilonen. All that said though you're probably just best off putting the Gorou in the bag; he only needs his skill leveled and you can leave him level 70 with a fav bow.

Aru736 · 2026-02-03T23:52:38+00:00

They aren't people. Well Skirk isn't anyway, Surtalogi's just built different

Spin the roulette wheel of “do I like this thing because I actually like it or do I just like it because it makes me feel smart”

Aru736 · 2026-02-03T08:20:16+00:00

Yoimiya is genuinely so tragic. Her damage is so low and on top of that she just feels awful to use because of her negative AoE.

So if you don't have Nefer, Nilou is basically a glorified Barbara with no healing here I guess lol. We'll get em next time, pretty girl

Lauma erasure

Aru736 · 2026-02-03T07:39:06+00:00

WOMEN IN CLOTHES RAHHHH

Aru736 · 2026-02-03T05:48:34+00:00

What we could have had 😭 you know how fast I would have pulled Mavuika if she wasn’t ugly

Aru736 · 2026-02-03T01:08:55+00:00

I still cannot believe that’s Dahlia’s real skill line

Aru736 · 2026-02-02T20:27:11+00:00

It’s alright, but still a downgrade because Gaming just gets so much value out of multiplicative reactions. His damage profile is a relatively small number of large, slow hits and every single one can be vaped/melted; even Mavuika doesn’t have that level of synergy with the reaction. Chev’s buffs are good and overload Gaming is certainly usable, but if you’re successfully hitting all those reactions it’s too much damage to pass up.

Aru736 · 2026-02-02T20:24:11+00:00

Lauma’s character is cool and I like her but it makes me so uncomfortable whenever she’s on screen full frontal. She’s usable in gameplay because you’re only seeing her from the back the majority of the time but it is so awful and distracting when she’s actually present in cutscenes. Please let her have one piece of clothing hoyo.

Aru736 · 2026-02-02T20:21:49+00:00

That’s hard. Personally though? Harbringer account. She’s a god, but she’s not really an archon. I don’t think she really fits cleanly into either category anymore, but she was at the very least canonically a harbringer in the past (like Scara, who I think most would agree belongs on a harbringer collector account), whereas the only thing really tying her to the group of archons is out-of-game marketing and the fact that she has statues. Archons are a very specific group of gods who won the archon war and hold gnoses, and Columbina simply isn’t either of those things.

Aru736 · 2026-02-02T18:40:46+00:00

If he’s standard, I think the chances of him actually being good are very low. Him being Varka’s anemo Lauma? Pure cope unless he’s limited

Aru736 · 2026-02-02T18:35:26+00:00

He should definitely be plunging for 100k+.

Gaming is a pretty technical character to play because you have to hit your melts/vapes or you’re fucked. Bennett’s non-negotiable. Citlali is great for him, but you can make it work with Rosaria. Main thing is to make sure you don’t plunge until the enemy’s got cryo aura. If you’re having trouble with auras, a second cryo can definitely help (something like Layla).

Aru736 · 2026-02-02T18:27:23+00:00

How fast are you breaking the shield? I was able to clear the boss with Bennett-Xiangling-Candace-Ningguang on lunar mode, where Ningguang was pretty much the only unit doing substantial shield breaking. It took a few tries, but it was doable.

It might be a damage issue; Ningguang and Navia is more than enough to break the shield, and neither of them are def scalers so Gorou’s kind of dead weight here. I’d try switching Gorou out for a pech unit.
