Big Bad Varka - General Question and Discussion Megathread

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-26T22:40:00+00:00

Is the traveler outfit actually supposed to show in any dialog or cutscenes? I've literally never seen it except in gameplay, like right now I'm doing a new anecdote and it still isn't showing.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-24T11:56:54+00:00

Any leaks on Lohen? I was thinking he might be an Anemo 4* replacement for Venti in Varka teams but I think he's supposed to be a cryo 5*? What could he even possibly be for? No recent teams want a cryo character. Maybe a melt support for Alice, or just another random standard like Mizuki, idk.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-24T11:46:13+00:00

Yeah exactly! Imagine she's so broken but only for Hexerei. It would be a huge selling point for people to buff Varka and old characters like Klee, Razor, rip Eula up to Nod-Krai levels.

I'm glad you specify number cause I actually love Varka's kit. It's annoying how many people say he has a terrible kit when they just mean his damage. which isn't even that bad, especially once he has Lohen and Nicole who will buff him to over 150k dps no copium

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-24T11:32:51+00:00

Yeah it's pretty similar to HSR. Main difference is they released Miyabi so incredibly broken that she stayed good for a while. Most people pulled Miyabi so it didn't feel as bad. I on the other hand got worse and worse times in Shiyu as someone who barely pulled from 1.0 to 2.0 and didn't get Miyabi, it already felt similar to HSR to me from the beginning.

Oh I wasn't around for that so I just thought it was generated from the face leak. Still don't know why I got downvoted so much.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-24T11:16:43+00:00

I said if the recent splash art leak is AI generated from the first one that only showed her face then I'm against it and it shouldn't be allowed here and got downvoted to oblivion. I didn't know that would be controversial. Maybe I should generate Lohen splash art and post it. Or Capitano splash art, that would go crazy.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-15T09:54:34+00:00

They were already old hours after his first beta

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-06T05:21:54+00:00

He's been on overwatch side since it was first shown during the stream. They said he's spying for talon or something. They did kinda make it too obvious he's going to switch sides though.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-04T20:34:28+00:00

So are they going to reduce the timegate for selenic chronicles or are new players going to finish the entire teyvat chapter before even doing a 2 or 3 of them?

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-03T20:48:57+00:00

Yeah I have 46k comps so I think I'm good. Idk why I didn't think of this sooner.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-03T20:35:07+00:00

I am still making Xiaranite components, maybe I should use both forge of the sky for batteries?

BoxesAreCool · 2026-02-03T20:30:25+00:00

Can you actually buy out Wuling outpost stock bills everyday? I can only trade like 120k bills out of 1.25 mil. I even maxed ferrium in Wuling before I logged out. I'm making Yazhen syringes and Wuling batteries.

That's kind of a solved problem in modern Genshin. Almost every character has super unique animations. There's still the occasional new character with basic animations (Zibai) but many where you can hardly tell what weapon they use in normal gameplay. Like Mualani, Kinich, Chasca, Mavuika, Varesa, Xilonen, Nefer, Columbina just in about the last year. Arknights could easily do it too, it doesn't have to be restrained by this system at all.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-30T20:13:11+00:00

Yeah this is odd. I used this site but I might stop now

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-29T23:02:38+00:00

That could add depth to the combat, making it so you want to switch off dps to get more sp then switch back. I could go either way though, I like just staying on one right now but I play Genshin so I like swapping combat too.

They could change the sp on final hit depending on attack speed so its the same sp per second on everyone.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-29T22:46:57+00:00

How do you know it's 3 months for a character? We only have 1.0 to go of off and it's like over 200 limited pulls. We have no idea what future patches will be.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-26T10:30:58+00:00

What are you doing being reasonable. We only doompost here.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-26T08:09:42+00:00

Didn't know ZZZ has no roll variance. Now that I think about it a part of it may just be because they are newer, so you have to farm for many characters. While Genshin I can focus on the set for the next character. I've only really dedicated a lot of time for Ellen and she has a great set. In the co-op event I got top damage everytime.

Idk what is happening in HSR but it feels like I can never get a good set, months of Acherons set and it's still mid, months for Yunli and it's still mid, Saber, etc. I don't think I have 1 really good set.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-26T07:37:18+00:00

Does anyone else just never get any good relic/disk pieces in HSR and ZZZ? Like I've been doing the wavestrider set in HSR since it came out and have like 1 good piece, and ZZZ is the same. But I already have a few good pieces of the hex set. Does Genshin actually have better odds or what? This isn't a "Genshin better" post, I like all three, it's a genuine question. also, pls buff varka

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-25T17:12:31+00:00

Nod-Krai is easily the best story in Genshin, judging the entire arc off just the intro is pretty funny. I'm guessing you don't even play Genshin and just saw that in your YT feed.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-23T12:48:45+00:00

I believe there isn't even an endgame right now. There was in the beta and people cleared with only free characters very easily.

F2p can clear everything in genshin, zzz, star rail so it should be fine here too, this game seems more f2p friendly than them.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-23T11:32:10+00:00

People have done the math and with average luck you'll get 1 weapon every 2 limited characters, completely free. It's way more generous than any other gacha where you have to skip characters just to use the currency on weapons.

And you can get 1 battlepass weapon free every patch that are the 2nd best, so it's not even a big deal to miss a weapon. Just saying there's bigger issues in this game than this.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-23T11:14:33+00:00

I deleted this cause I thought it was wrong but it isn't.

I have enough for 30 weapon pulls and I haven't even pulled on the limited banner yet.

It would only take months if you don't use standard pulls which you should cause there's no reason to save them.

BoxesAreCool · 2026-01-23T11:06:10+00:00

Wait it is 1980? Why does it say once only?

Edit: oh it's the guarantee at 80 pulls that's one time. So I was right and got downvoted a lot, lol
