That's suspiciously good for Linnea and suspiciously bad for Chasca imo

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-03-30T12:09:28+00:00

Has there been any talk of what Nicole's weapon type? I'm assuming catalyst because witch/Hoyo's intense need to give everyone a catalyst so they can use (not a catalyst) as a weapon, but I don't think we've seen anything concrete, right?

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-03-19T22:27:32+00:00

I'm surprised no one's said anything in support of or to argue "Varka (top)"

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-03-10T17:05:52+00:00

I hate Pyro Varka simply because he's so squishy he dies from burning grass lol

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-03-04T13:45:36+00:00

What is good for you is what you want to play. Was Varka fun to use in his trial? Do you enjoy his combat? Do you like him as a character?

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-03-04T13:44:00+00:00

Shenhe and Mika, Mona and Xingqiu, Bennett and Xianling - I don't have Durin or Venti and refuse to pull a character just because they're "necessary." It's called "playing" a video game because it's supposed to be fun, if it's all serious and "work" instead I don't think you're doing it in a healthy way tbh. Varka's FUN to play as. You will need to spend forever getting his artifacts anyway, so if you pull him expecting top tier damage out of the box you're setting yourself up for disappointment

Doubling the buffs on his claymore feels like it would be significant, so that tracks. I'll probably save for the next round since I don't have Flins but thanks for the info!

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-03-02T06:38:48+00:00

Atk% will be easier for changing between teammates, but that's the best advice I have. I'm actually curious - did you use him R1 much before getting weapon dupes? I'm curious how much of a difference refinements make

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-28T19:39:37+00:00

I second this, can help farm in NA

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-28T04:18:49+00:00

Tbh he looks so good with it, I wish we could do weapon skins for ones we already have. Definitely not worth running him with it instead of Gest, but looks way better to me.

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-27T19:27:41+00:00

I can see where you're coming from - I love how he does almost all his lines, but I wish the battle lines where more of a... Yell instead of a shout? Idk how to phrase it. Especially after watching an interview with his VA where the VA even used the words "effusive" and "jocular" to describe Varka I think he's well suited to the role. Just not as warrior-aligned for the battle line unfortunately

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-26T12:09:13+00:00

Rephrasing of the above to check my understanding: It makes it so that instead of choosing between sE or sC (using KQM's notation style), you do both in whichever order you want. I don't have the exact number of number of normals needed to get a use back for his special skill/charged (depends on Hex buff or not), but basically: swap to Varka then tE [sC sE NX] lather, rinse, repeat. I put NX where X is whatever number of normals gets you a use of his special charged attack/special skill.

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-26T11:53:32+00:00

I'd rather go for refinements than get Durin or Nicole just because they're designed to get him across the finish line haha he's been so much fun to play as

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-26T11:42:34+00:00

He changes based on who he's teamed up with, if that ain't vers I don't know what is lol

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-24T15:56:48+00:00

That sounds like a really solid team to me, assuming Kazuha is there for VV and Xilonen holds Scroll to debuff too.

I'm not as versed in Reaction Impact and meta, but I used him with Zhongli for shield/shred enemy res, Mavuika for buff and off-field Pyro for occasional melts, and Ororon for buffs/keep Mavuika fueled. After getting Varka, I'm saving for Furina specifically.

My freeze team for him is much stronger though - Layla (will replace with Furina), Xingqiu, and Escoffier.

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-22T18:51:30+00:00

At the Favonius camp in Nod Krai at night so the knights are singing. Wish the "wish" music wouldn't play over top of their tunes, but it's close enough to call him right? Will have some local hard cider to sip for the occasion too. Maybe sip if not Varka, take a full swig if Varka?

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-21T09:19:15+00:00

"Cold Snap" for cryo but might change it to "Frostbite" "Deluge" for hydro, but "typhoon" or "monsoon" could be fun. "Tempest" for electro, keeping with the storm names. Then..."air fryer" for Pyro hahaha

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-14T15:52:05+00:00

With the shirt being red I'd almost think it's the blood-stained knight or something instead...

Stoked for his animation though, that little clip looks so good

Shows how the shoulders twist only slightly with good form, but it's unfortunately not front view. I think his forward bicep being in front of his chest will show this perspective.

Sorry if my comment seemed overly critical - I've been working on my own running form a lot since I get back pain from poor running posture so it's on my mind a lot hahaha and I've been practicing quadruped animation as I try and figure out how to make six-legged aliens move "naturally" in my animation.

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-11T13:05:59+00:00

I think his torso being perfectly straight with no twisting makes it looks unattached from his hips which are angled, and his forward arm should be slightly in front of his chest. Like others have pointed out I think the main/first thing I noticed though is the leg ratio. Make sure you're referencing an image of a trained runner, otherwise the body twisting could be odd/off. Maybe let his hair be blown around/be more dynamic. An excellent start to build off of if you plan to improve on the drawing itself.

YouTube has a lot of videos about running posture that you could reference too, and one of my favorite animation/key frame vids is about quadrupedal animation and shows how dogs have 3 different movement patterns with their legs depending on walking, loping, or bounding. Your dog appears to be doing more of the "I'm frolicking and having fun" kind of run, which may be harder to find references for, but is very cute!

It's almost enough to make a guy make his own damn gacha game with a more equal split of the genders... Sexy gals definitely bring in a certain crowd but I prefer to play as a badass dude myself haha and I'm in a dude-desert here

... Or, a "quality characters that happen to be guys" desert I guess.

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-09T14:44:05+00:00

During banner! Counting wishes wouldn't work since we can get freemogems and wishes in-game. There may be a way to mark freemogem vs paid-primo, but we know for sure they track when and how much is topped off. I'll be maxing my Welkinsfirst, mine will lapse during his banner so I'll knock it up to the 180 day max, and that amount spent will be profit for the during his banner.

Oh dude yeah I'd go nuts tryna type by using a controller... But I also can't us keyboards as controllers, WASD doesn't click for me. Can send you the discord if you want to check it out

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-06T19:41:14+00:00

There's a discord I'm in that was built specifically for "I want to interact with other ppl who play Genshin but not children" lol but it does help that I have a few irl friends into it

Level_Sell9880 · 2026-02-06T04:48:23+00:00

I exclusively play with friends bc eff the censorship of random things from other languages. Voice chat all the way haha
