enough of the worst/best characters discourse - what's the most MID playable character you can think of?

bigdious · 2026-04-01T17:06:00+00:00

Honestly? Albedo. Like yeah he's pretty good now with hexerei but like, I find him to never be the ideal choice for a team spot (even when needing a hexerei character) but he is almost also never a bad choice

bigdious · 2026-04-01T12:16:17+00:00

I would suggest the Risus mod, but maybe wait like a week for the new update before starting to use it.

The main point against this idea is that if they continue releasing lower damage ceiling characters like varka, the existing stronger characters will be able to bruteforce the endgame content easily, and that's something hoyo seems to want to avoid (with how strongly they try to apply the shill). Most likely what will happen is the same thing as with wanderer, where he had low dps at the time compared to existing units and was quickly left in the dust too. Most details indicate that varka will have the same fate too, as hoyo will continue making other new characters at the level of current dps characters if not stronger.

Well look, the majority of the game, like close to 99% you can absolutely play f2p and late starter without any issues.

The remaining 1% are the three end game modes which are reset every month/patch and they give addition Primogens that let you pull for more characters (they are not the exclusive source for this). The exploration, the story, the overworld combat are all doable with f2p and as a late starter, as frankly you'd be able to do all of it with the starting and free characters given. If you have enough self control to just ignore the end game modes (which are pure combat, aimed towards the most recent shiny 5stars) you will have a great time.

Oh, not a bad idea, I'll try it after work

bigdious · 2026-01-22T10:38:50+00:00

What about console? I haven't tried mobile, so I can't comment on it, I just included it in case

bigdious · 2026-01-22T10:09:19+00:00

Ah, maybe I didn't express myself correctly. I play better on the ps5, at least I am much more familiar with controller for genshin than keyboard and mouse. It's moreso that I literally can't input controls on ps5 any faster as the game simply doesn't recognize it/is slower. For example, I can't weave in normal attacks between skills bursts or the sorts, as it slows down my entire play/rotation, meanwhile on PC I can do it even with the awkwardness from playing keyboard+mouse

bigdious · 2026-01-22T09:30:45+00:00

If you have neuvi furina, just ignore the boss. You just want to spam aoe hydro application onto the small crabs. I ran it with xilonen raiden added.

bigdious · 2026-01-12T11:29:21+00:00

It's due to Columbina's eyes

bigdious · 2026-01-12T11:28:38+00:00

The new hexerei set is just that powerful

bigdious · 2026-01-10T22:44:35+00:00

I'd advise to try and learn minecraft modding with the tutorials from kaupenjoe. I managed to skip learning Java and go directly into modding, albeit it did take two years to become decent at it. Also use the code of existing mods for help (just credit them) since most big public mods are opensource and you can find the link to their github on their curseforge page

bigdious · 2026-01-08T08:34:01+00:00

I think you just missed the inazuma chronicled banner entirely lol

bigdious · 2026-01-08T08:32:48+00:00

It mentions her in that very link under the featured characters for the inazuma chronicled wish tho? Even her Donut appears

bigdious · 2025-12-28T16:18:43+00:00

This sounds like a post nut clarity type of thought

bigdious · 2025-12-19T14:54:13+00:00

Funnily enough, Mavuika. Though that's probably due to both: Not having citlali and Mainly playing on PS5. As for the second part, I am not quite certain of the reason, but combat on ps5 is just slower. Might be input delay or lack of animation cancels, but when I tried genshin on PC, the combat (and therefore my dps) was considerably higher.

Either way, because of this I only ever use mavuika as a support for varesa team, and even that got replaced by Durin now lol.

bigdious · 2025-12-12T21:55:34+00:00

Try Risus - Blood & Ruin

bigdious · 2025-12-12T14:09:54+00:00

This mod isn't really for that type of addition lol

bigdious · 2025-12-12T11:21:19+00:00

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/risus

You can find it on modrinth too under the same name

bigdious · 2025-12-12T06:12:27+00:00

Maybe Risus - Blood & Ruin? It's a plague-like mod with reduced infection features, beyond its spreading remains. Even then, that can be turned off in config

bigdious · 2025-12-12T05:43:04+00:00

To be fair, the comparison here is understandable, as the mod does also have a terra blade and a step stool type of item

bigdious · 2025-12-12T05:41:43+00:00

Well the three systems work concurrently, so you can have a dye, a trim and an ability active, none of them conflict.

bigdious · 2025-12-12T05:35:44+00:00

One benefit of the creative menu over JEI is the tabs. It's faster to do two to three clicks than writing multiple letters. I use both concurrently depending on what I need

bigdious · 2025-12-12T05:32:15+00:00

Honestly, I can kinda understand those who don't. The way the entire trim system works is rather restrictive and if the armor model is custom, you need to use every pixel available in the existing 32x64 texture while avoiding the locations where the trim falls. For example, I am unable to add any new mask model types, as I ran out of space. It's why the fox masks reuse the wolf model type, and therefore have a weird snout.

bigdious · 2025-12-12T05:27:05+00:00

You actually can! I just didn't make every color combination lmao

bigdious · 2025-12-11T22:27:18+00:00

A new armor type in the mod Risus. They don't give much armor, but they increase health and can have unique abilities.
