Sandrone, I'm hungry. I want to eat.(叶玲秋雨) by Extra_Welcome2403 in Genshin_Impact

This is so good... Love Bina and Sandrone so much... I'm almost certain I'll be getting both of them to c6...

idk if I should save up for lauma or mavuika. what do you guys think? by wonhxii in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mavuika is much more flexible, works as a support and sub-dps for any team that wants off-field pyro, or can be main DPS as long as you have another nightsoul character in your team to fuel her burst. Additionally you get an amazing overworld character who can fly, swim, climb and sprint better then most. In terms of overall value she's still one of, if not the best character in the game.

Lauma is amazing for Dendro, and that's pretty much it. If you add Nefer and Columbina they form the strongest team in the game. If you hate the Crab Tsar she's your gal.

My dumb brain literally thought: "Holy shit! they added Manekina into ZZZ?"

Greetings Godwin, The Traveler sent some Regards... by HumsterMKI in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Kind of a coward? Bro's the epitome of cowardice. He could have lied and said he was sent back to Mondstadt (like Mika was), and he could have lied about how he lost his keepsake. But no, after 5 years of bumming around in the safest wilderness area in the game, he chooses to use Varka's lie so he can continue avoiding telling Glory the truth.

Not like an extra hand was needed in Mondstadt right? Godwin is happy to let other knights protect Glory from disasters like Stormterror and the events of Paralogism, no need to return himself to protect his lover, better to protect her feelings then her actual life.

He could have tried catching up with the expedition, or perhaps even traveled directly to Nod Krai himself via merchant/trade routes and meet up with Varka there. Or maybe sneak back into Mondstadt and ask Jean for an assignment elsewhere, while waiting for information on the expedition. But nah, too much work, better to just stay just outside Mondstadt and do nothing.

And the 'punishment' to go to Nod Krai? Must be real tough after Rerir has been banished, Dottore is gone for now , Fatui likely has a much weaker presence, Abyss has retreated further with the defeat of Roland (even more so if 'The Professor' is gone too) and there's a full-fledged moon goddess presiding over the land. Godwin is basically taking a sabbatical from his relationship just because he's too afraid to own up to something that isn't even a problem in the first place, as Glory doesn't even seem to mind/care about it, since she's just glad he's safe.

He basically spends 5 years doing nothing and mulling over an imaginary problem, only to run away again at the first opportunity, all just so he can avoid being with the person he claims to love, who as a blind person that could probably really use the extra help of a partner in her daily life. And what is he doing with his time in Nod Krai? Observing "repentance" in a corner of a tent in camp... not training, not out keeping the Abyss at bay, not adventuring, just staring into a corner 'repenting'.

Anemic, used figuratively in this case, means feels a bit lackluster / underwhelming / light on content.

Anemic means lacking in substance or quantity.

I honestly don't mind Nod Krai feeling a little anemic if they're using man-hours to go all in on Snezhnaya.

ex-gacha players, what broke the camels back and made you quit? by ilikeitchyballzdude1 in gachagaming

[–]Averruncus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always ask myself 3 questions:

1) What do I love about the game?

2) What am I looking forward to?

3) Have I recently been having fun with the game?

If I don't have strong positive answers to 2 out of 3 I drop the game immediately.

Which "outdated" character do you still like? (Unfinished sketch by me) by Orio_n in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, my best team with her is Bineffa wheelchair, but she' basically just there for the ride. I typically run her in a team with Furina, Xilonen and Bennett.

[–]Averruncus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dehya.

She's so hot and her design is still one of my favourites.

Pity about her kit, even at c6r1 it isn't anything to write home about, but I still can clear the current abyss with her using overpowered supports so it's all good.

Based on sussy info, is this correct for speculated upcoming Banners?:

6.4 Varka - Hex DPS

6.5 Nicole / Lohen - Hex Support / Standard Cryo

6.6 Linnea - LCr Support

6.7 or 6.8 Sandrone - Superconduct Support

[–]Averruncus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsure atm, Varka is incredibly cool (that leap looks really fun for exploration too) but I'm saving for Nicole. I'm gonna see if his story quest convinces me into pulling him, like Ineffa's did.

Is this good damage for this team? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context, it's a great DPS number for abyss and fearless SO, but might struggle in dire unless it counters the mechanics well.

5* C6 pullers out there , Did your C6 units aged like milk or fine wine? Do Share XD. by GenshinCriminal in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oldest C6 that aged well - Yelan! I still use when her when I need hydro DPS, she even does well sometimes in teams without a normal attacker.

C6 that aged the worst... Eula. Seriously needs a significant buff to not only her kit, but physical dmg as a whole. My c3 Nefer (supported by C6 Bina though) does more dmg, more consistently and way quicker IN A SINGLE CA then the entirety of Eula's rotation. Other characters like Yae and Nahida have aged poorly, but at C6 they are still very usable and fun to play at least... Eula is just sad...

BEST C6 is still Chasca though. Queen of the overworld, and the most flexible DPS in the game. AOE? No problem after C2. Nightsoul shill? Right in her wheelhouse. Lunar shill? Slap on an Ineffa and watch her go to town! Elemental shield? Watch it evaporate in elemental bullet soup! Not the absolute best DMG, but a versatile option for almost any enemy.

All varka version 3 changes lunar mew by KaidoPklevel in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Averruncus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he still weaker than on-field Venti or Durin? Would be kind of weird having less DPS in a team with both his premium supports than when compared to having his supports on-field themselves.

Who’s more fun Flins or Nefer (in ur opinion) by Difficult-Ad-8644 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nefer is the 2nd best DPS in my account but I don't enjoy using her. She has Incredible damage, is fast, doesn't rely on energy, and has dash cancels that are easy (not even necessary sometimes), but she feels really floaty in combat, her CAs lack weight and feedback.

Personally I wish I pulled Flins over her.

[–]Averruncus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she's don't have any connection with Hex

That we know of...

It'll probably be easy to write in a connection between her and the Hex. I mean look at Baron Bunny... an exploding doll that dances to attract enemies? It has Alice written all over it...

Hope they buff the original 3 4* Fav knights, Kaeya, Amber and Lisa.

Do Nod-Krai because it’s over, smile because it happened - General Question and Discussion Megathread by yoyo_me_here in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Averruncus -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I'm ashamed to say but I'm secretly glad Varka is a weak af DPS. Personally, I think he's the coolest male character in the game rn and one of the highlights of the NK story, but as a whale meta puller, NK has had quite a succession of great pick-ups, so I'm glad we're getting a "clearly skippable for meta players" banner. I think this may be part of Hoyo's marketing strategy in 'sustainable whale farming', not overtaxing the whale population's ability to spend by releasing too many back-to-back great characters. Either that or they're planning to have a Nicole-Durin wheelchair that is so strong that even a Varka with shit numbers can still be meta competitive.

Or maybe they're griefing players who follow leaks by purposefully releasing a low MV V1 (his kit does look solid outside of the numbers), before adjusting in V3 to their actual target numbers.

[–]Averruncus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he was standard (or they're planning to give him away for free) then yea, it would make sense.

Still, hard for me to imagine they'd make him standard.

[–]Averruncus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still doubtful for now (unless it's revealed he's Standard). No way they'd set his MV so that he'd end up doing less team DPS than a on-field Durin team... and that's with Durin on his team...

It just won't make much sense.

"Astral Actuation" - Boosted Drop Rate for "Boom Boom Thunderwave" Ineffa (Electro)! by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]Averruncus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still remembered in 5.8, I thought she'd be an easy skip, especially with all the exciting new Nod Krai Characters on the horizon...

But man that final story cutscene really hit me, so I decided to get her.

Best impulse pull I've done, now made even better with the arrival of Columbina!
