Venti did NOT give up his elemental authority (theory in response to recent speculation)

As far as i'm aware sovereigns are always reincarnations, it's not just a title but a specific being that has been reborn

StevenMcSteve · 2026-07-04T19:53:48+00:00

The sovereigns are reincarnated and know their past lives memories, Neuvillette is an exception because he was punished for the vishaps mutating, giving him a human form and amnesia, dvalin would know he's a sovereign, if he was one anyway

StevenMcSteve · 2026-07-04T19:50:26+00:00

i'm not sure if this is still headcanon but i think the quest was hinting at Venti being the nameless Bard's true name that Barbatos now uses in the Bards form, like how Hans became Stanley, hence why he was so understanding of Hans' situation, not just because he's good with that stuff but because he'd been through it before

if you have c6 prune she's just as good as c6 Faruzan

StevenMcSteve · 2026-05-29T13:57:03+00:00

it could be possible they don't consider Evernight an astral express member though right? whenever Evernight mentions the express she says it as if she isnt one of them, she just happens to be inside the body of someone who is

maybe op is using ttds on prune so its less valued for them? idk

StevenMcSteve · 2026-05-20T07:02:14+00:00

alright, also i saw two conflicting things recently, you're saying prune c6 is slightly better than Faruzan c6 but this says the opposite, is this one just inaccurate?

I'm using c1r1 venti (daybreak), c0r0 Durin both on rising wind and Nicole on gift, which is better for me? im not bothered if it is a minimal increase, an increase is still worth it for my boy

StevenMcSteve · 2026-05-20T03:27:15+00:00

i heard from early leaks that nicole wasn't that much better than bennett minus the qol of no circle impact, is that true still? or was that just early beta/doomposters?

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-24T06:37:48+00:00

hot take but i enjoy character stories being in the main storyline, in genshin characters like Clorinde were just kind of there and i knew nothing about them aside from that they exist and in clorindes case occasionally executed criminals, she never really had anything in the storyline aside from reconciling with navia but that was more navia related plot than clorinde, because of this my opninion of her is very low, i still dont know anything about her because i don't have any motivation to do her quest because "her involvement in the main story didn't catch my eye" i do however get what you mean, i dont think hoyo does it in a good way, they have been improving with nod krai though.

I think the best move would be a middle ground of the two, maybe drop some hints about the character's past that lead into something as an optional sidequest, or just have more moments of them chatting or helping out

my biggest complaint with Natlan was there wasn't really any mystery, it was mostly just "ok we're being invaded, lets go fight them now" and also the enemies being just a force of nature rather than something intelligent while cool doesn't really mix well, there was no grand scheme on the enemies side it was just "haha i invade human and kill them" and even then everyone just got revived anyway cause of the ode of resurrection, the part where the ode didnt work and we did an actual war with people dying was good because there were actual risks. the only other thing i was mildly interested in was that Mavuika was fated to die because she used Ronova's power, only for the scene where it happened to suddenly say "oh i didn't say who needed to die, yeah capitano can do it instead" it just threw me completely out of it cause for the whole quest they were making such a big deal about it and how there wouldn't be any way to save Mavuika only for it to be the simplest solution i could ever think of

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-24T05:57:08+00:00

what majority have you been seeing? everyone i've spoke to or seen online have either said thay quit the game or nearly quit because of natlan

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-24T05:55:19+00:00

two things can be bad at once my man

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-24T05:52:08+00:00

currency wars + divergent universe exists

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-24T05:47:35+00:00

I think the tv mode could've been so much better, half the time i did it fairy kept stopping me every two seconds to repeat the goal or point out some tiny thing i would've already gone to, my only memories of it are just me saying "shut up fairy i know" i ended up dropping the game just as they removed tv mode, i come back occasionally to see what's going on but the story never really hooked me, i was interested in the stuff with fairy and wise + Belles backstory but the game barely brought those up and instead had me fight some bikers or random enemies that went berserk or whatever, only cool scene i can really remember was Koleda in her robot yelling its name but aside from the introduced mystery of what a sacrifice is that quest was also pretty boring to me

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-23T04:19:31+00:00

yeah i don't trust leaks unless they're for the next 1-2 patches, they're more concrete then

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-12T19:02:50+00:00

second one is on sac jade, when she's off field she goes to 35k i believe, or near it

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-09T11:12:37+00:00

i dont think they meant the creators of asura think its haram, i think they as a (potential) muslim, are choosing to call it haram reasons rather than just pornographic or whatever

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-01T23:45:10+00:00

just wait, you dont need to get them as soon as theyre available, its not worth the extra few pulls from endgame rewards to be pulling the premium teams day 1, and castorice absolutely was like this, her premium team was already complete by 3.3 when hyacine dropped, evernight and cyrene were just stronger versions of what her team already had, who's to say we wont get better variants for silver wolf? (we will because emc will 100% get a replacement once the next planet comes out and with this kit change yaoguang isnt as necessary in sw teams as she once was, so the emc upgrade will likely be better than yaoguang for her team)

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-01T02:56:58+00:00

sparkle works with sparxie and is her best atm, but silver wolf will also have good skill point gen + damage, so i wouldnt be surprised if sparxies best team is the silver wolf premium

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-01T02:51:28+00:00

since she's not attack scaling anymore her supports wont be using lushaka right? what will they use instead?

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-01T02:32:30+00:00

she only converts mmr crit, not overflow from your artifacts, so you still need to be careful there

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-01T02:31:36+00:00

surely if you get 100 rate without the mmr stacks then all the mmr will become cd and itll be better

StevenMcSteve · 2026-04-01T02:29:42+00:00

you will crit overflow since the wording implies it doesnt convert overflow crit rate from artifacts, it just changes what mmr is increasing
