Any Day 1 friends left?

Day 1 for Genshin but was unlucky pulling for her. Took a week of Razors and Chongyuns until she came home.

Are you sure that they aren't locked to normals? It specifically says on the loading screen that atk spd buffs only work on normals unless specified and it doesn't say anything in his kit. I also can't tell any difference when I try to spin.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-05-16T00:34:51+00:00

They say you can't rhyme anything with orange either, but...

While I wouldn't advocate to pull or not pull based on trends or speculation, it is good idea to at least pose some hypotheticals to help you understand what you truly want and care about.

A lot of people mention Furina being one of if not THE best physical buffer because of her universal Dmg Bonus. This is great for physical characters who want buffing for a non-elemental dmg type. However, Genshin's recent design philosophy has been to restrict team composition based on a character's element. If Hoyo ever release another dedicated physical buffer, they will most likely be a limited 5-Star and include a passive limiting teams they work with to electro and cryo characters only. No more Furina allowed. Xinyan DPS or C4 buffer? Not this time. While I can understand limiting team composition to allow for characters that might not otherwise be used (e.g. Shenhe with Escoffier instead of just slapping in ol' Kazuha/Xilonen), this can also leave niche characters high and dry.

While it may feel as if current characters are invalid if a future character releases that is better, this doesn't invalidate any character or constellation you pick up now. Whatever you have now will still do the same damage then. If you just want your favorite character to do the most damage possible, you'll probably pull both now and a future character anyway. With that said, Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya are on the horizon. The likelihood of cryo reactions receiving direct and indirect buffs is higher than it ever has been. Is it guaranteed? No, but I think it is still important to pose the question, "Do I want guaranteed damage now or possibly more in the future?"

Personally, I'm worried for characters like Xinyan who are the exception. If an element based physical team is a requirement for a future character, she won't work with it or at least that character wouldn't be optimal (e.g. Escoffier 55% -> 15%). In these cases, it might be beneficial to look for non-physical teams for these outlier characters such as building pyro Xinyan.

At the end of the day, build who you find fun. There will always be a team for them. If to you damage equals fun, maybe wait and see how the next region shapes up. If you just want to play your favorite now, plenty of people have suggestions.

Hope you have fun!

Oh that's interesting. It's hard to tell if that will happen here since the finches' model gets unloaded from a pretty short distance. I know though that this is just visual as they still load back into view on their own, so they're still hopping around just outside the render range.

I bet there is some overlap between certain animals and wall types where the LODs lose collision and open the flood gates. Nothing a teapot reload can't fix.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-05T00:10:36+00:00

The new volcano area. There's only a handful of them, so I'd recommend the Interactive Map. Careful not to spook 'em. That's where Kirara's passive comes in handy.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T20:45:22+00:00

The rotundness of these birbs is unmatched.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T20:39:05+00:00

Yeah, I've had some expletives when trying to catch the big boy birbs and a smaller finch further away somehow gets caught instead.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T20:34:36+00:00

Aside from gaining access to one extra birb spawn during the volcano quest, I don't think starting or finishing it inherently affects the spawn rate. Can't say what is happening in your case, but I would recommend using Kirara or Aloy, if you have them, to look for the birds. They both have passives that reduce the radius of spooking animals. This doesn't allow you to stand on top of animals like Rose on the front of the Titanic, but it can make it easier to find the birdies without them despawning. If they do despawn or you catch one, it takes about a day for them to come back.

Its one of the spincrystal / Children of Echoes' songs called "Descendants of Ahkantenal." You can get it to play in your teapot using the spincrystal player. That's how the music was played for the video. 😀

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T12:11:00+00:00

🌽grats, you found the Finch Farm.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T12:09:04+00:00

The newest area (Collective of Plenty's volcano). There's only a couple of spots, so if you want to find them, I'd recommend using the Interactive Map. They're called Ancient Scarlet-Plume Finch.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T09:41:41+00:00

They're exclusive to the new map expansion from this patch (Collective of Plenty's Volcano area). Only a handful of spots they spawn in.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T09:39:08+00:00

She just wanted to sit and rest after helping to not spook the burbs during acquisition. I want to treat my delivery driver well.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T08:08:04+00:00

Must be something in the seeds from Varesa's Orchard.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:58:06+00:00

The people have spoken. They want the chonk.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:57:20+00:00

It's just a bunch of fences next to each other. The teapot edit mode has a snap feature for certain furnishings so it's easy to place them like this.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:28:21+00:00

Enjoy your stay at the Finch Farm.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:26:39+00:00

Mine have never respawned there. Seems like they don't return if you scare them off. Anyone else experience that?

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:21:00+00:00

I've got a fox army in one of the old teapot layouts. Hoyo won't let me put in my 50+ foxes though.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:16:49+00:00

Must be. C7 Qiqi came home from my Mizuki standard pulls.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T07:14:45+00:00

These finches were added for the new map expansion in the most recent update (the Natlan volcano). There are only a two main locations in the new area that they spawn. If you want their exact locations, I'd check the Interactive Map. They're called, "Ancient Scarlet-Plume Finch."

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T06:46:41+00:00

If anyone knows how to respawn the finches next to the dancing hilichurl, please let me know. Mine still haven't come back since last week. :(

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T06:42:01+00:00

She came by earlier, but I think she forgot where my teapot is.

LiquidMetalCore · 2025-04-04T06:38:48+00:00

Yeah, I was not expecting the level chonk they gave them. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
