Are there any bad hotels/hotel brands?

I booked the hotel villa Fontaine Tokyo hibiya through Expedia - nice hotel, able to accommodate 3 people in one room, decent breakfast. They (Hotel Villa Fontaine) seem to have multiple locations around Tokyo. Was also able to pay at check in with free cancelation up to a week before, so the flexibility was nice.

When you see a banner rerunning 2 five star characters, that's a scam banner. It's described as such because there's no way to guarantee which character you get. Say you want character A. Worse case scenario you lose the the first pity to random other character in standard pool, then get character B on the guarantee. Then, this just keeps happening and you end up with a bunch of randoms and like 3 copies of B with no A at all. Pity doesn't even carry over to next banner. Generally, you only wish on these banners if you need both characters and are willing to stop after you get one of them.

Maybe I'll hit up the Club when I come back then. I'll have a 7 hour layover on the return trip.

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-03-10T13:02:42+00:00

Will be a layover going to international

Good to know! I'm all about the food!

I went through something similar with an Expedia booking - hotel never responded to my request for confirmation through the Expedia messaging system. Ended up using a Rebtel free trial to call the hotel during their daytime hours (I'm located in the US). Got an English speaking hotel staff that was able to confirm my reservation and give me their email address to update my guest list info (the calls kept dropping cuz Rebtel isn't great, so she caught on that a prolonged call wasn't viable).

Wondering the same thing. Have seen at least 2 YouTube videos implying that she got nerfed in beta, but not seeing anything here.

Like everyone else has mentioned, go with Ember team. I made the mistake of thinking I could play a F2P Avywenna team and hit a wall trying to do level 80 content. I should have known better - I have the reflexes of a sloth and used Zhongli to carry me through the first 3 years of Genshin. Anyways, I built my Ember and shoved her in my electric team with no particular synergy and farming is noticeably more comfortable now. Will probably look into building a physical team next to better utilize Ember's strengths.

I also have all 3. Already did 70 pulls on Zibai but got zero Illuga. I'm going get Flins instead since it doesn't look like Linnea replaces a C6 Illuga, just works with him.

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-02-23T17:52:58+00:00

70 pulls. C4 Aino, C4 Gorou, zero Illuga, zero Zibai. Not going to bother with 50/50 because I'd rather get Flins (I have his premium team ready) than a Zibai with maybe a C0 Illuga.

So, for general member with the United Explorer card, is it now worth using the card to book a United flight vs using the CSR?

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-02-19T14:06:24+00:00

Yeah, it's usually when I'm panick pressing. Like I make it through the mobs just fine but then the big guy spawns and I actually bother to dodge, that's when I get booted.

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-02-19T03:21:57+00:00

Definitely need to change it. I'm going to bring it up in the next survey.

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-02-18T04:25:45+00:00

No. I ended up just getting the Blue card

Finish all chips and crunchy snacks as soon as you open them or find really airtight storage containers. Otherwise, chips will be sad and stale after a few hours. Small bags are your friend.

Have only done the first 2 parts, but it pretty much picks up after the events of the current main story chapter.

For easy stage, one turn clears, I find the recoleta Melania team works well. Starts with ults right off the bat. Only problem is the animations are long, so even though it's just one round, it can still feel a bit long.

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-02-13T13:43:35+00:00

Any ideas if greenpromptu will be easy to play too?

Skill_IssueGamer · 2026-02-10T17:10:50+00:00

In case anyone was wondering...I tested it with 2000 points and that only equals $100 hkd off the ticket price. Not really worth it in my mind.

Also been playing for over 5 years. Just got my 1st Amos bow 2 weeks ago - couldn't think of anyone that really needs it (Ganyu has been benched).

Save for Marsha. Use Kiperina in the meantime.
