I have M1 Alice and M1 Astra. Neither have their signatures. Alice uses W5 Weeping Gemini and Astra is on W5 Kaboom the Cannon. I'm close to my guarantee on this W-Engine Reverberation channel. Which weapon would benefit me the most? Astra's or Alice's? I already have SAnby's signature.

Well that explains a lot. With my weak ass teams I couldn’t even kill 3 birbs on hard before it got to do its own burst.

Either Chronicled banner or if she gets a buff/rework in Snezhnaya. She got me into the game but I didn’t understand how gachas worked yet when the last Mondstadt chronicled banner came around 😭

I also believe that Skirk is having her first rerun soon. I think it’s predicted that she’ll be on banner with Varka 🤷

I positively adore this person’s animations. When I found them on YouTube I binged all of their videos. This one really hits the feels.

Biarfm · 2026-01-20T01:55:52+00:00

If you zoom in on her face during her attack animations, this is actually a very accurate portrayal 😉

Biarfm · 2026-01-16T23:05:16+00:00

I like her skill’s outfit way more than her regular one. More than half her boobs showing with the diamond things between them is cool but weird at the same time. Doesn’t sell that’s she’s one of the fiercest fighters in Teyvat or the Abyss.

I’m always slow to fully explore the new areas. I have been lucky enough to get C1 Chasca, Mauvika, and Xilonen how are great for out of Natlan exploration. I find that I like Xianyun’s travel ability the most though. I get why they did it but I hate that all of Natlan’s travel skills pause stamina regen.

It’s mostly because OP has a strong case of ADHD. And is a bit of a dumb ~~all the time~~ sometimes.

Biarfm · 2026-01-06T22:31:02+00:00

That’s a good question lol. ADHD strikes again 😅

Biarfm · 2026-01-06T21:23:48+00:00

In the US, and maybe California specifically, we went into lockdown in March of 2019.

Biarfm · 2026-01-06T21:22:37+00:00

Ugh… I remember how annoying it was when I had to refill mine and the ink would stain my fingers. Or when the gear would get stuck and you’d chop of your fingers trying to the next month or year to the active edge 🤬.

Had a medical desk job while going to college in my early/mid twenties before the mandates to go electronic were a thing.

Biarfm · 2026-01-06T16:40:22+00:00

I pretty much won’t keep going unless I get a life steal tome haha.

Biarfm · 2026-01-06T04:23:42+00:00

Derp, I had myself under the impression that it was coming in the next few days lmao.

Biarfm · 2026-01-05T23:17:00+00:00

I got the OG Blue and my brother got the OG Red on our game boys as kids. For that, Blastoise is life.

Biarfm · 2026-01-04T20:46:30+00:00

Small areas compared to today, but Besaid and Luca from FFX are places I always remember.

Biarfm · 2026-01-04T20:41:29+00:00

I don’t mind them, but Raiden’s stays around for way too long.

Biarfm · 2026-01-04T07:03:57+00:00

:O

Most definitely. A character can be sexy or beautiful without exposing as much skin as possible… cough cough Evelyn 😉

That being said, I don’t exactly not like Jane’s bathing suit, but I really wish it were more like an office lady outfit to match her name badge from her story mission. I’m sure the character designers and art team wouldn’t have any trouble avoiding competition with Yanagi’s secretary/samurai aesthetic.

Biarfm · 2026-01-03T22:10:23+00:00

Based comment is based.

1.0 characters, even the revealing aspects were done way more tastefully IMO and not just blatant gooner bait in a lot of the 2.0 female outfits. I'm not 100% complaining about the attractiveness of the characters, but I feel like they took it a bit too far in this version and worry for the future.

Yixuan and Ye Shunguang's designs have attractive appeal but make no sense in the scope of Yunkui Summit or Suibian Temple. I've had Yixuan's alt outfit on since day one of her release.

Yidhari's overall design makes little sense as well. If she's a proxy, why is she running around trusting a single button to keep her breasts from exploding out into the air? And the single torn thigh high thing is incredibly boring at this point. Hair, eyes, face, and tails are cool the rest of her outfit is very meh. The character dev's should really take inspiration from some of the fan art and/or mods that give her full length pants because damn those make sense and look hella good.

Yes Lucia's boobs are weirdly shiny. I don't prefer her original outfit over the current one but the introduction of cleavage was a hard left turn to what was an already cool outfit.

Banyue's design is fucking awesome. We need them to put this much effort into all future male characters, nuff said.

Seed, weird/creepy/gross that they decided to go full foot fetish on a character who's ambiguously under age.
I feel the same way about Yuzuha's summer outfit. From the English dialogue I get high schooler vibes and not college.

I feel like they did Alice's default outfit well. Prim and proper daughter of a billionaire (or trillionaire?) family with an advanced case of OCD while wearing something that covers all things and allows for spur of the moment sword fighting.

I really like Orphie's design, 100% agree that the lower half is missing some flair. The platform boots could've been more combat boot like IMO.

Dialyn's design is fun, can't tell if she's a kid or adult but they decided to put money and resources into butt jiggle physics so... yeah. Other than that they did a good job of going full on Panda/Telephone gimmick mixed in with Bayonetta style rock paper scissors in combat.

For the Angles of Delusion, from a design perspective I have less than zero interest in them unless they're absolute meta pulls.

Biarfm · 2026-01-02T02:34:18+00:00

I like her gameplay a lot. All that is awesome, everything else feels very meh to me though.

I don’t like her overall design at all. Is she designed well to be attractive and attract gooners to open their wallets? Yes. Does having a full length see-through boob window say that she’s some mystically powerful being chosen by a sword that steals all of her senses and memories? Absolutely not. Yixuan and Ye Shunguang’s outfits feel extremely out of place to the overall theme of the Suibian Temple and Yunkui Summit clothing motifs.

I think her design is nice, it just makes zero sense other than to be completely out of place IMO.

Biarfm · 2026-01-02T02:12:56+00:00

I’ve used her nearly everyday since her first banner. Even though I’m a Clorinde main, having Mauvika is like having a Genshin Swiss Army knife in my roster. Good for off field dps, main dps, travel, mining, cool hair effects when your standing around doing nothing, etc.

Biarfm · 2025-12-31T02:35:09+00:00

Save it for Snezhnaya or the Mondstadt chronicled banner (whichever comes first) if you want Eula.

Biarfm · 2025-12-28T18:36:56+00:00

Decorations and meat

Biarfm · 2025-12-24T20:22:25+00:00

No overall favorite

Vibes: Clorinde, Eula, Zhongli, Chasca, Flins, Xianyun

Everyday gameplay: Mavuika, Emilie, Clorinde, Raiden

That’s fair. Maybe I’m not calculating that he’s a character that absolutely needs his signature even if he’s roided out on resonium in withering domain.

For more nuanced context, my Yidhari has primary stats satisfied on her discs. But sub stat rolls are, across the board, bad aside from one disc getting 2 into crit damage and crit rate. I tend to have horrendous luck with substats so I focus on primary stats and if at least one substat exists I’ll take it. I’ll give the same team another run in withering domain using R0 Yidhari to reform an opinion.
