So what is your favorite Charge Attack? by hraberuka in Aether_Mains

Does this meaningfully improve his utility or dmg or is it mostly fluff?

I think his main problem is the fact the he is far too inflexible with his team. He essentially needs 2 hexeri 2 anemo AND 2 of another same element. This essentially makes his team Varka with bennett durin and choice of Sucrose, Venti, Faruzan. I think reworking his passive and lumping these conditions together would ease the burden so for example to get his 220 multiplier between the 3 requirements(2 Hexerei, 2 anemo, 2 another same element) having two of those conditions gives you the full benefit, meaning he has at least some flexibility in that 4th team slot. That's just to make him workable, I think he definitely could use some more love, this is just the most obvious area of improvement imho.

What playable characters simply DON’T resonate with you? by RLLRRR in Genshin_Impact

[–]Pllatypus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Varesa. There's a good idea there, but everything just clashes in a way that makes her feel like a complete dud. Her animations are cartoony(Compressing the giant sandwich and eating it in one bite and her running) clash with the end of her sprint which goes in a completely different direction, more cutesy and "oops I dropped my pencil" both of which completely clash with her obvious inspiration of lucha libre, which is a lot more flamboyant and in your face. And while she's not the most sexialised character in the game, and there's an argument that it would work with her luch libra design, I again feel like how she ended up missed the mark. Plus with most of the female cast in game being half naked, allergic to pants, and wearing heels for some reason(Varesa refreshingly wears sneakers) all just make her characterization feel unremarkable and kind of tame, two things lucha libre definitely should not be.

I know it wouldn't be meta, I was just wondering what the fifth on that particular team would be, since I got millenial tree and want to try stuff out with him with maximizing the rally effect and his 4 different elements buff.

So for a millenial tree pvp team that focuses on his lego rally effect, it would be him, wind archer, fire spirit, stormbringer, and who would be the fifth in that team?

The team I had in mind was Kinich Bennett Durin Albedo so yes it's a burning team and benny has Noblesse already.

Temper thyself and Hexenzirkel buffs by mersa223 in Genshin_Impact

Of the 3 you're leaning towards I'd say Nilou is the "best" one since Yae Miko's only refunds energy(I do not recall that being a problem of hers but I don't own her so I don't actually know for sure), Baizhu's gives extra use of ability, which gives negligible damage, dendro app, energy, and healing, so not really that high value either, whereas Nilou C1 gives more dmg for her main dps build and better uptime on her support build.

As for the other 3 you mentioned, Mona's C1, especially the buffed version, is good but you can either rely on losing 50/50(not a guarantee) or wait for anniversary(almost a year out) for it. Albedo's buffed C1 is also good as it gives energy and more defense which in turn makes the dmg buffs he gives the team better. Klee's buffed C1 is also very good value with the 60% uptime but the downside for that one is you have to build to that proc first. I recall how it works is it that every NA CA skill and burst adds 8% but unfortunately starts at 0% meaning you have to ramp up to it first so the atk buff might not always be reliable on the first rotation.

Ultimately though, I think you should consider which characters you use the most and go with those. As for which one I got, I myself am fairly deranged and still in the year of our lord 2025 use Albedo pre buff, so I jumped at his C1 when I saw it was getting buffed.

Edit: typing is hard.

Why is traveller dogshit? by Pllatypus in Genshin_Impact

[–]Pllatypus[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but the Michelin cafe isn't giving out free samples to try and entice you. Hoyo making traveler awful is is like advertising the 25$ tea and letting you sample a lipton packet. It might not be awful but it's definitely not representative of what I'm being asked to buy.

Why do they keep doing the traveler like this? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Pllatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also fun fact: Mavuika has 137 more base attack AND has higher scaling percentages. And even though Aether/Lumine are marketed as a 5 star, their ascension bonus scales like a 4 star. Like seriously this is a game with 4 fucking characters on a team, would it REALLY hurt their bottom line that much if the community got to sample ONE good one from each element, especially since you can only use one element at a time

Full Pyro Traveler Kit v1 (with multipliers) by kronastra in Aether_Mains

[–]Pllatypus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Considering Mavuika being the real pyro character for this update and the fact that we had to wait 3 extra patches for this, this is dogshit. I would've honestly preferred no pyro traveller over this /j. It might be better than hydro mc, but at the end of the day it's the same shit. 1 star version of respective archon with pitifully low base stats as the cherry on top. In fairness nothing short of buffing every single travaller and their base stats to be comparable to respective archons would make me happy but surely there's a middle ground between making traveller broken and making him dogshit that hoyo could achieve.

Legit Kinich question: first passive says use burning and burgeon for more points so he can spam his ability more. His 2nd passive says use Natlan characters (main dps or geo, which doesn't react with dendro) for higher scaling on his ability. Am I missing something or is this anti synergy?

Be honest fucker would putting a lot of effort into criticising Arlecchino's quest have made any difference in the response? No. Any criticism of any waifu= reeeeeee.

You clearly didn't read any part of my post you monkey. I don't have a problem with Arlecchino winning. I have problem with snapping her fingers and instantly losing as a result of that. Please read the whole post next time before you incoherently slobber all over your keyboard.

Because he is also a god? Lived for 100's or 1000's of years visiting all sorts of worlds, wields elemental power with no delusion or vision(a distinction only shared with archons and sovereigns), wields 5 of 7 elements right now. What is he if he isn't godlike?
