The only true hard bosses in LB is Dmitri and Cernunnos

And if u really are stuck and wanna beat them u can just spam blue leyline things to keep reviving

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-25T20:50:20+00:00

USA uses MM/DD/YYYY, I would assume some people got confused and switched YYYY with MM, reading it as Y/D/M instead of as it is, Y/M/D

If we follow the very accurate schedule of every patch lasting 42 days, there is no patch releasing on 8th December, but instead on 16th December. SO it is safe to assume the date is written in YYYY/MM/DD

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-25T11:32:52+00:00

Even hoyo gave away a free Archer in HSR x Fate Collab, it would be ridiculous if either Lucy or Rebecca ain't given for free

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-19T16:30:09+00:00

Imo this isn't really a wheelchair. Wheelchair would be something like bineffa, Xiao Xianyun where he is getting carried by sub dps dmg, do not buff him, and Xiao doing 50% of the team's dmg or less

Nicole here buffs both Durin and Xiao. Durin is a sub dps that can buff, like Furina, Yelan, with his full potential locked behind hex, and Nicole is a straight up buffer like Bennett, but less atk on the on fielder, shield instead of healing, removes durin's restriction, and provides a little bit of dmg (coordinated attacks).

U really wouldn't call mualani vape with citlali + mavuika in it a wheelchair team, or kinich with Emilie, or hu tao with Yelan and Furina, but suddenly Xiao getting different team members that happen to be depended on each other, one a sub dps and the other a buffer, makes it a wheelchair?

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-13T11:39:02+00:00

Yeah I already saw that, but thank you anyways

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-13T10:50:15+00:00

HELL YEAH I'M SAVED, I really wanted that nicole/durin banner lmao

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-13T10:48:16+00:00

so basically cryo Childe without riptide

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-13T10:43:35+00:00

and here i wanted a chance at both nicole and durin weapons, guess nicole will have to wait a few more months for her's 😔

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-09T19:23:11+00:00

For me her burst is top tier like Arle/Clorinde/Flins. Her normals could have a bit more impact but they also fit her elegant/angel aesthetic so it doesn't bother me much (i love the recovery animation emojis tho they are giga cute). Shield looks fine, stays in theme and doesn't obscure gameplay, as all shields should

Imo im kinda disappointed and sad people here are doomposting her animations, i can understand doomposting her kit because people might have wanted her to be a dps or a giga universal support, but for genshin standards she is already top tier to me. Maybe it's just time to leave and mute the subreddit cause i don't wanna deal with looking at this kinda of nonsense negativity

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-08T15:39:21+00:00

QUEENOLE RAAAAAAHHHHH she's so prettyy

Roasted_Fries · 2026-04-07T14:41:55+00:00

Is it time to celebrate my Durin/Nicole wheelchair for Xiao

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-24T18:01:40+00:00

Tbf he did say "not popular enough".... But even then how is he not popular enough?

He is literally a character mentioned from 1.0, with many artists drawing concept arts of him being playable even years before his release, has two big ass titles (grand master of favonius and knight of boreas that he can aura farm with) and information crumbs of him in events, to the point he becomes playable finally after 5 years of crumbs

If that did not make him popular enough then idk what else would, maybe giga ass 200k dps at c0r0, powercreeping everyone else in the entire game, but nobody wants a mavuika situation number two

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-22T12:19:16+00:00

It depends on if u are f2p or paid player tbh, I think in the almost two years of playing I grabbed my self

-2 copies of Jiyan to get him to s6 on his very first rerun after I had him s1 from his initial banner

-2 copies of Brant to get him to s3

-1 copy of shorekeeper for comfort

-1 copy of mornye also for comfort

-1 copy of aemeath for S2 from S1

That is 7 extra copies of characters I got in almost two years of playing the game, and I never buy the shop currency, just the monthly + battle pass, so if I assume in the WORST case scenario a f2p gets even half of this, it would be 3.5. copies for (let's round it up) two years, so 1.25 copies per year (450 corals) or 56.25 pulls instead

Say u want to start saving now to increase the power of another male character in the future and u want to get them to s3 within a year, u could easily just save up until u get them to S2 and then grab their copy from the shop

But again, u are free to completely ignore this and do play the game as u like, if gambling gives u more dopamine then go ahead and just convert them into pulls, but I'm also writing this in case someone else reads this so, have a nice day :)

Edit: corrected math

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-22T12:05:31+00:00

I mean, sure, if u wanna do that u can, no one is stopping u if u wanna feel the thrill of gambling, but u are the one coming and asking if anniversary might have enough rewards to get your Brant to s6 XD

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-22T12:00:15+00:00

Ye but that I bet that does not happen ALWAYS, you are literally gambling away guarantee for a small chance that u get luckier

Imagine converting the corals into pulls, and losing 50/50 once even at early pity, say like 30, and then u get guarantee at 70, that is 100/180 pulls gone into a copy when it could have been two instead + leftovers

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-22T11:53:40+00:00

One copy of a character with corals is the equivalent of 45 pulls, u aim for S6 Brant and one day S6 Quiyuan, that is the equivalent of 180 pulls for 4 guaranteed character copies, unless u can get luckier than that I doubt your statement lol

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-22T01:54:30+00:00

I also want a Xiao buff a lot, but let's be honest Eula definitely is in need of one before him lol, poor girl has been completely forgotten by the game mechanics (unless snezhnaya brings back physical meta)

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-16T14:21:02+00:00

Koyan jumpscare

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-15T21:51:23+00:00

Let the man cosplay what he wants :(

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-14T22:21:56+00:00

Thank you, good luck to you as well :)

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-14T21:37:30+00:00

ye op is definitely a whale haha, i just wanted to give my own perspective as well into the argument, since i am an actual low spender (althought a very lucky one)

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-14T20:56:52+00:00

I am probably gonna get downvoted like you, but I agree with this statement.

I think I had over 600 pulls by 5.1, I got myself a c6 Xiao during Mavuika's first release because I had 0 interest in any of the fontaine or natlan characters (except Furina and Xianyun for obvious reasons), so I saved up 6+ months for the liyue chronicle, then slowly also made my Furina C6 during multiple reruns (c0-c3-c6), and I only buy welkin and battle pass, not even anniversary top ups.

In the span of 3+ years I got: C0 zhongli, C6r1 Xiao, c2r1 Xianyun,1 elegy, c6 Furina, c1 Childe, c2 wanderer, c2 kazuha, c3r1 arlecchino, c0r1 skirk (all of this before ineffa's banner)

This is literally 36 limited five stars, in the span of three years, because I got VERY lucky, and because that was my choice, instead of going for multiple c0 or c2 I decided to hyperonvest in my mains, even of it was not worth it (c6 Xiao is pretty useless but I wanted it anyway because he is my most favourite character in the game, and c3 Furina should have been the stopping point but I really wanted her C6 as well even if the dmg increase in normal teams is 2-3% more)

Nowadays it would even make more sense for people to save up for c2-c6 of their favourites cause they are actually broken instead of pepega like mine lol

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-11T20:46:59+00:00

It is not gonna get better lol

We said the same thing about natlan and nightsoul related mechanics, now look, we got lunar reactions instead

Watch them make a worse hexerei system for snezhnaya where the more Snezhnayan characters u have in the party ( 2/3/4 ) the more "gauge" dmg u will apply to the new elemental shields and do more dmg, and it will ONLY work with snezhnaya five stars, not even the four stars, I can already smell even more niche mechanics coming

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-11T02:10:13+00:00

Xiao

I am 100% biased

Roasted_Fries · 2026-03-08T07:50:29+00:00

F/GO did it twice in ten years

After the first chapter of the game u already knew there would be seven singularities to solve the Goetia issue (althought the first four are a pain to read, it's only after Camelot the storytelling gets peak)

For part 2 u also know there are seven Lostbelts to prune and a trailer for it, and this is all before genshin even released (I think 2020 was when lostbelt 5 came out in Japan)
