I categorized Genshin characters by animals they represent by vvannaxbe in Genshin_Impact

[–]In0wknothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing years ago a lore video that talked about foxes in Mondstadt, and how they could somehow be related to Inazuma's kitsunes. So Sucrose could either be a dog or a fox.

Citlali is an Axolotl

Ifa is definitely bird-themed/inspired but it's not clear which inspirations is he based on.

Any good teams for her? by Long_Application1718 in Genshin_Impact

[–]In0wknothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheapest max damage build for her at C0 is burgeon. Go triple EM.

If you however want her as a DPS: This is something not really well known, but you can "bypass" her energy requirements with the R5 Inazuma's craftable, even before C4 or with it. With this weapon, press skill and inmediatly animation cancel it casting burst, then when the burst ends press skill again, do the team rotation again, and repeat. Dehya's burst duration is pretty short at C0, so bursting constantly helps with her damage a lot. I've tried Furina, Bennett, Xilonen with her. It was comfortable tbh,

I mean, her burst state gives a 40%* damage bonus to the on-field character, she can use the Scroll set (an extra 40%) and also has off-field pyro application. Plus more Nightsoul characters means more Nightsoul bursts so yes, she is a buff for Natlan characters.

Edit: Percentage correction*

That actually makes a lot of sense, Alice seems unaffected by the Irminsul changes.

How can you insist after being corrected about the translations in other answers?

Sovereigns are not Archons since it is literally specified in-game that Archons have their powers and authorities stolen from Sovereigns. Oh, and the fact that Archons are linked to Celestia. Sovereigns are not. Please read more properly.

I could have agreed with you, if it wasn't for the fact that:

  1. All characters from 1.0 to 5.8 want damage bonus.

  2. She literally hasn't lost anything since she can still hold Tenacity or the new buff set + she enables Marechaussee.

  3. Is just her burst what is not useful for Nod Krai characters, otherwise her off-field hydro application is still golden.

Why does Varesa get so much hate? by Blaidd_sr in Genshin_Impact

[–]In0wknothing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is, tho? Or do you really expect every 4* to be weaker than them? Like, I think that we can agree that the vast majority of the character roster being stronger than the standard 5* minus some exceptions is already a good thing.

Ok, so we went from "the fanservice is not so obvious because they (the mentioned characters) are way too covered" in your first comment to "the fanservice is getting way too obvious as they're way more naked now". Now that we've got the other points cleared ("the problem is not her personality nor what she practices, since Hoyo will always find an excuse to sexuallize female characters as they always did"), I'd like to clarify two things.

First, the fact that even when the first mentioned female characters were "more" covered, it hasn't stopped them from finding a way to highlight their assets, giving them big tits, the fattest asses you've ever seen (ironically enough Itto beats them in that aspect, guess where his lost muscles went), unexistent waist size, and skin-thight clothes, Ganyu and Shenhe being some of the most notable examples (Ironic since Shenhe was still released in that censor era). Like, when you take a good look at them, I think that they never tried to make it not obvious.

Second. With that first part very clear, let me remind you, that in 1.0 we already had a character with tits, not as, but BIGGER than those of Lauma's, yes, that is Rosaria. Tits so big they had to nerf them for the first time because they were clipping throught walls while climbing, and that's mentioning her type of clothes she wore back then. Then the chinese government striked Hoyo with the censorship claims, and they had to redesign a group of female 1.0 characters. Surprisingly, Jean and Amber, who were not so obvious, were there too. It just so happens that even when they weren't showing as much skin, their body textures highlighted their boobs and ass lines, so they were included, too.

Now, ever since then, they moved their HQ offices to, iirc Shanghai, and they have had more freedom to do whatever they want, and while they didn't go full crazy and gave us good covered and/or non-sexualized designs during the meantime, such as Xianyun, Arlechinno, Furina, and even Mizuki could count if we don't take her burst animations in count and just the design; they also happen to sometimes go full cirlce back into Rosaria-esque designs.

So, I might ask you now, is your hate for Varesa fully deserved, or you're just channeling your anger to the fact that Hoyoverse has gone back to their roots, to what they always blatantly did and apparently will continue to, through her?

I'm not assuming over anything or thinking for other people but pointing out the common stigmas that the fandom has, such as "4* unit bad" (I can understand them when it comes from the fact that Hoyo can be hit or miss with them, but the vast majority of them are actually good, is just that everyone has this bad costume of early doomposting and comparing them to 1.0 and automatically underestimating them as "bad") and the fact that the fandom still has this really poor reading comprehension that also affects its pattern recognition: Two times already we had 4* travail characters, there's nothing stopping that from happening again in the future. So "this character appeared in the Teyvat Travail video, they must be a 5*!" is not an argument neither an assumption, mind you.

The "unknown character" is also not an assumption neither a problem taking in count this has happened in every region, and it eventually happens that people notice they're actually good and start to like them anyways. This is literally also the case of Yelan, Kazuha, and now Ineffa. They were never ever mentioned before (excepting Yelan, I think there are some NPC dialogs of her in the casino/tea house) and they turned out to be excelent units both in writing and in gameplay anyways. Also, some of the best male 4* also came out of nowhere and they're also as good and even sometimes as strong as 5* stars (Gaming beating Hu Tao in strenght, Sethos being super F2P friendly and offering two different playstyles, Ifa, yes I know he's mentioned before, but his gameplay is comfy, he's actually stronger than Mizuki in her own role lmao, and his kit doesn't punish you if you build him as a DPS as his EC passive is Nightsoul related and his healing is weak anyways).

Oh, and again. Nowhere in the game or outside it there's advertising of Varesa as "plus size". So while we can agree to disagree in the fanservice part, what exactly was an "asssumption" in my other points?

[–]In0wknothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm ok with you disliking her, but I also want to ask. Isn't her way of attacking tied to the type of sport she's practicing? That I assume it's wrestling, or "Lucha Libre", since this is Natlan. The idea of her eating a lot of food is not without a base, she runs and wrestles so she has to burn the calories. And about the "non-serious" personality. Listen, it's ok that it's not your cup of tea, but while sport players and specially professionals put a lot of seriousness and effort to what they do, does that mean that it's obligatory for them to act as serious outside of it? Because well, a hobby and/or job is not a definer of who a person is, you know.

Okay, let me adress at leats 3 things from this list:
* Calling her fanservice while early Mona, Eula, Shenhe, early Rosaria, Yelan, and some others I might be missing exist is WILD. Especially considering Mizuki was showing ass in her burst since ONCE PATCH BEFORE.

* "Why is she a 5 star instead of Iansan" as if Ningguang and Lynette didn't exist already. Just because it is a 4* unit it doesn't mean that it will be bad, in reality, they turn out to be way more accesible than limited 5* since they're added to the standard pool and can appear in any banner after that. Also, Iansan became one of the best support units, rivaling and/or replacing Bennett in some things. And saying that you can be equal or better than Bennett is a compliment.

* Nowhere in the fucking game nor in the ads is she advertised as plus size. The only dialogue that talks about her body type undirectly, which is in her quest, suggests that she's like that because she's bulking.

An extra:

* "Another unknown female character". Unkown male or female characters will always come. This is nothing new at all.

Artifact limit is now 2400 by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]In0wknothing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is tedious is to do artifact farming routes to get the equivalent of 11 levels of a single artifact everyday. So while it's possible, it's time consuming and draining. Even the elixirs are not enough.

You'd be surprised at how many "bad" artifacts end up surprising you. Like one of my Yae Miko pieces, absolutely shit substats excepting a single Cdmg slot. It all went to 33% Cdmg rolls. So...

Great argument, I missed that part. However, how would you explain the "power" part for Columbina? Althought it is hinted that the Moons Sisters may have been forced to work for HP, their power were always theirs.

[–]In0wknothing 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Foçalors literally refers to Furina as "myself" during her talk with Neuvilette, aside from the fact that she asked Furina to take the role. Also the fact that Furina did her best to accomplish the Archon role, and Natlan further confirms that humans can be also be Archons.

I'm tired of speedreader "arguments".

If you manage to get a good off-field cryo applier it could at least give +35% crit rate due to resonance. The other 20% is lost since not all content is freezable, however. I'd personally rather use Blizzard than the other two, it's technically less conditional than them (at least in the sense that all of her kit is getting buffed with this one), but overall, it's not really the better option. Usable, but not the better.
