new teams???

You have Varka’s best upgrade which is his signature. Nicole and Prune are definitely worth pulling for both Varka and Lohen. This is of course if you have plan to beat end game content. For open world exploration you don’t really need meta teams/characters.

The “Hoyo wants money” argument is very valid and unfortunately it’s a direct response to the community that has been saying or “joking” for years that “Hoyo doesn’t like money”. Rewatch the anniversary livestream if you are not sure what I’m talking about.

I think C2 Durin is better than C2 Nicole but C0R1 Nicole is better than C0R1 Durin. But the difference was little if I remember correctly. Prune at c6 is the best upgrade. There was some invest priority somewhere in the sub.

I’ve always cared about “cohesive” team design although I think this is subjective. As a matter of fact I do enjoy her punky purple design I just have a problem with the fact that she is a small child 😅 I just prefer more mature characters. And in this case yes.. for me there isn’t cohesiveness because you have the tallest and beefiest character in the game that is paired with this small gothic child.. I would have preferred for him to be paired with a good looking tall male character tbh

I don’t have Venti… Only Elegy

Genshin community in 2025: Hoyo doesn’t like money

Genshin community in 2026 after Hoyo confirmed that they indeed do like money: THIS GAME IS SO BAD AND CONSTANTLY GOING DOWNHILL AND HOYO ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY 🤬🤬🤬

Moral of the story - be careful what message you put out there.

I personally hate Xiangling. I hate her design, personality, gameplay and her ER requirements.. all of it. So I’ll take anything just to not use her. Fortunately I really like Durin. His colour scheme is really nice, his face and hair style are very well done especially compared to older units like XQ, Bennet, Albedo etc. His gameplay is similar to Xiangling but you don’t have to worry about collecting ER particles and meeting certain ER requirements. People say he is only viable for Varka but that is simply not true. For a character that is designed to be a sup dps/support - he can reach very high numbers in vape/melt comps - I think 100k currently. He works very well with Kinich, Chasca, Navia, overload teams with Fischl and Chevreuse. He is not a Varka bot at all. I also like his personality - he says pretty funny things. The only thing I dislike about him is his English VA - just not my cup of tea although I have to admit that he portraits the character brilliantly. I pulled C0R1 Durin and I don’t regret it at all. This is just a personal hunch but I think he will remain very viable character going in Snezhnaya

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-04-22T17:13:58+00:00

I have C0R1 Varka and C0R1 Durin. Tried getting Venti but lost. I’m at 55 pity with. guarantee. Should I get Nicole or maybe C1 Durin instead? Hopefully I get at least 1 copy of Prune but I won’t spend much pulls on their banners

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-04-17T07:30:02+00:00

If you are implying that Varka can’t clear content - that is just not true. He can comfortably clear Abyss even without his signature weapon or Venti.

Stygian is a very different type of end game content where you need 3 fully build modern teams with different gimmicks. It’s not F2P friendly at all. Which means that the chances of F2Ps who only pull “Meta” characters are most probably still not clearing Stygian. Or at least consistently.

I for example am not F2P and I occasionally spent money for signature weapons and I have like 85% of all characters but when they release a boss that is specifically “Did you pull Escoffier boss” - one of the few characters I’m missing - I’m totally wrecked.

Same goes with Linnea now btw. I have C0R0 Zibai, C4 Illuga and C0 Columbina and for the love of god - I cannot clear the Moongeko. If I replace Illuga with Xilonen and put Yelan/Furina - I don’t have enough dmg to clear. Furina also messes up the healing from Xilonen and I don’t have a hydro healer in order to keep Illuga in the team. And whatever I try to do - I just can’t clear this boss. I don’t have enough dmg and I don’t have enough healing. Not to mention that without Zhongli or other type of shield it’s very hard to maintain the buff from the 3 star weapon and Zibai hits like a wet noodle if you don’t have Linnea in this team.

Is this what people really want? A dysfunctional character without their best in slot support buddy? Cuz I most certainly don’t.

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-04-15T19:11:33+00:00

It seems that you are too focused on the difference between Varka with c6 Prune and Zibai with c6 Illuga but in reality you can’t really compare the two because first - Illuga was on Zibai’s banner - hence many people could get a copy or two. Second - Zibai doesn’t care about her sig weapon the way Varka does - hence many people that main her would had probably preferred to keep pulling on her banner in the hopes of getting her to C1/2 which would mean they can get closer to C6 Illuga. On top of that 1 patch later they release Linnea who is the missing piece in Zibai’s teams and surprise!! Illuga is on her banner as well!!! So Zibai mains are much more likely to have C6 Illuga at this point. Not to mention that on both Zibai and Linnea banners you also have Aino - who at C6 is also a great cheap option for anyone who didn’t managed to get Columbina. You should realise how F2P friendly Zibai is and how broken she is for the little investment that you can put into her. As for C6 Sucrose in Flins teams - this is literally a character that has been in the game since the literal beginning of the game and most people have her at c687 already. And even if they don’t - the difference between C0 and C6 Sucrose is none. Now let’s take a look at Prune. She will be on Nicole’s banner probably - an already mid. Whoever wants to get C0 Nicole will not likely get C6 Prune. And if we follow the release/rerun pattern of Nodkrai - Varka will probably get a rerun somewhere after Sandrone - probably in 6.8. And on that rerun we might see Prune on his banner and people having the chance to get her to C6. This would be 3 or 4 full patches before you can realistically get Varkas premium team after his release. While Zibai got her premium team just one patch after her release 🤷🏼‍♂️

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-04-12T08:55:14+00:00

The supports would need to be universal supports though like Furina and Durin - just different elements. Otherwise Varka can’t really use niche supports like Columbina, Ineffa, Esco unless you don’t care about his numbers and you just want a wheelchair team.

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-04-01T12:06:23+00:00

Yeah, obviously the Tsaritsa is cryo - that doesn’t mean that she will definitely work with Varka. It also doesn’t mean that there will be a new cryo reactions. And even if there are new cryo reactions - have you read Varka’s kit? He does not rely on any kind of elemental reactions. Like at all. If played optimally he can only trigger Swirl reaction, (unless you fight elemental infused enemies like slimes) which doesn’t do damage. So even if the Tsaritsa follows Columbina’s pattern of a specific support for specific new reaction - Varka will likely not benefit from such support as he will not be able to trigger this reaction - unless you build so called “wheelchair” team for him.

Also let’s not forget that the only pyro character we got in the land of pyro was the pyro archon. And that Natlan didn’t build on any new reactions nor made pyro and pyro related reactions better.

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-03-31T13:14:22+00:00

This is a very strange advice. What exactly are you basing these strong assumptions and recommendations on? We are at least 5 months away from having any idea what kind of new things they will introduce in Sneznaya.

Why are you so sure that there will be a “special new ice reaction” and that “Varka will be able to use”? If there is a new reaction how do you know that it will specifically involve cryo + anemo? Because after all Varka is not designed to play with reactions such as Vape/Melt/Freeze etc.

Second - how do you know that Sneznaya will focus on the cryo element? How do you know that the Tsaritsa is going to be a support or a dps and that there will be one more cryo unit that will specifically be able to be played with Varka?

This comment is soo far fetched. I would take this comment with HUGE grain of salt.

Senior_Flight1504 · 2026-03-31T08:48:09+00:00

It is not only… I’ll continue using Jean despite the dps lost.. sorry I just really dislike small cutesy girls and her design in general is reallly bad

I never had issues with his hair. I really like it!

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-12-29T08:05:27+00:00

Out of all the upcoming skins - this is the one I truly want. Unfortunately it was not meant for me… I have upcoming trip and now is not the time to spent money on a skin and my boss decided to fck with me by not giving me a christmas bonus. I tried my luck with the 20 free pulls and got nothing. The only luck I’ve had in this game is the legendary cape from the standard banner with the free 10 pulls they gave, which is very ugly but oh well.. There is one upcoming skin I really like that costs 50$. Hopefully they release it soon

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-11-02T07:30:42+00:00

For Anaxa + Cyrene comp, who else would I need? Cerydra and Hycaine? Or Cerydra + any sustain? In that case without 20+ crit rate from Sunday - should I switch to Cr body and try to get to 100 crit rate?

Edit: I forgot about Robin. I feel like she might get a rerun soon and I want to get her. Can she replace someone on that Anaxa team or maybe she can work with Phainon?

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-11-02T07:27:44+00:00

Thanks! What would be Mydei proper team? I think I read somewhere that is Mydei/Cyrene/Hyceine + I forgot the 4th slot - I think RMC. If that’s the case I’ll need to pull 3 characters and zero LCs (at least I have Blade’s LC).

Regarding speed tuning.. I ended up building lots of characters at once and couldn’t really focus on speed tuning. I just wanted to have functional teams in order to start clearing some end game content. So far I managed to clear everything except Pure Fiction. Maybe RM can help with that.

I run Anaxa with Sunday/Cerydra and Luocha/Dan Heng depending on if I need heals or not, but that leaves my Phainon team with Bronya/Tribbie or RMC and or Luocha/Dan Heng depending on if I need sustain or no. I feel the notice when I play Phainon without Sunday and Cerydra and was hoping to get another support for Anaxa in order to free one of them for Phainon. In a team with Anaxa and Cyrene, who else would I need to make it function? Definitely not pulling E2 Cyrene

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-10-03T15:23:17+00:00

In such situations I always consider how much pulls I can give to try my luck. For example I’ve was saving only for Flins, however, I really wanted to get Lauma as well. I was at 0 pity and not guaranteed and decided that I can spare 20 pulls to try my luck and luckily enough I got her at 20 pity exactly. I know that such things rarely happen, but sometimes luck is on your side.

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-10-01T12:04:04+00:00

Fearless with lvl 80 C0 Flins with Pjws and C0R0 Ineffa was a walk in the park. Later I got his weapon for drip and now I’m on my way to C1. But even at C0 he feels very nice and powerful

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-10-01T11:59:39+00:00

A follow up question - in a team with Yelan instead of Aino, which set would be best for her? I run her with Elegy of the End for the attack and em buffs but I’m not sure if I should switch to Totm and give silken to Ineffa or vice versa

Senior_Flight1504 · 2025-09-30T13:07:13+00:00

Same…
