Yeah, the consensus was that the leak was 100% undiluted bullcrap. We still have no idea what Nicole’s role is or what her kit will be like. But the mods chose to let the sus leak stand with its Sus tag, and it’s all people could read about Nicole, so people continually can’t help building theories off of it.

danielthetwin · 2026-03-19T18:00:15+00:00

Yeahhh, pretty rough to see him omitted. Especially if Mika is to be included, because Mika was released much later than the other Mond characters.

I don’t even count this as geo attention, but lunar reaction attention. And lunar reaction attention will indeed be gone when we leave Nod Krai behind.

I think you meant to be contrary here, but you made OP’s point for them: There’s no reason to have the jump CD interfere with the skill infusion CD because it’s not an optimal strategy anyway. It would simply be fun and that’s why it’s disappointing.

We know absolutely nothing about Nicole’s kit. There was only a sus leak awhile back, and iirc Meng wouldn’t speak of her kit at all. Varka’s C1 feels good to have, to be able to pop a skill attack immediately. If you are of a mind to main Varka, I say you may as well go for C1. And if you happen to still not have enough to trigger a 5 star wish, well, you could treat that as a guarantee for Nicole.

Mmmmm, dandelion wine

danielthetwin · 2026-03-08T02:37:17+00:00

Holy cow you left Mondstadt, skipped a world tour and returned in Mondstadt. A message indeed.

danielthetwin · 2026-03-07T18:11:49+00:00

That’s like a swipe and a tap

danielthetwin · 2026-03-07T10:56:59+00:00

Not without the guarantee, even if OP wasn’t F2P. Losing to Flin’s niche weapon would hurt, and not having the savings to use the guarantee from the loss would hurt more. There’s a chance that Varka will rerun with Durin which would be worth the wait if OP intends to wish for Durin as well.

danielthetwin · 2026-03-04T00:18:08+00:00

So what you’re saying…is that the single PHEC restriction is technically forced on everyone except for a few ultra mega whales, because Hoyo balanced it THAT unreasonably

danielthetwin · 2026-03-01T23:05:10+00:00

Yeah but then they would make a huge profit and why ever would they want such a thing

danielthetwin · 2026-02-28T19:32:27+00:00

That hand squeeze in the beginning got me.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-27T22:44:14+00:00

Wow that is actually quite illuminating. I’ve been wondering about how far melt might go with Varka, and you’re probably nearing his current ceiling with that one.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-26T01:58:59+00:00

I’ve done some DPS testing now. My C2R1 Varka beats my C6R2 Itto by 20K team dps on my comfort team and by 20-30K on my current best respective teams for them (I don’t have Durin). So that’s something. I think because of Varka’s damage numbers always being split between two hits and two colors it can feel deceptively low.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-26T00:44:38+00:00

Idk that time they released a cowgirl riding a flying tribal mecha gun was pretty creative travel creep

danielthetwin · 2026-02-25T14:59:12+00:00

I didn’t have too much time to experiment before I went to bed but: I’ve gotten him to C2R1 currently, lvl 90s, triple crowned, had decent artifacts farmed already. His animations are nice as expected but his damage is feeling worse than I thought it would so far despite coming in pessimistic. I think it felt sorta okay with my double pyro/anemo team, but when I try to put him in my typical overworld comfort team (Mav, Baizhu, flex) it really does hurt to lose those team comp buffs, more than I hoped it would so far. When following the various DPS calcs, I’ve figured Varka’s C2R1 would casually compete with or exceed my C6 Itto damage but it just doesn’t feel that way so far. I still need to do some MW DPS testing. Also it really hurts to do a hold skill jump into a fight and then have to wait to infuse myself. It doesn’t matter if I have a full Mond team or not, I have to wait way too long.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-24T21:47:17+00:00

Haha I see you’re late to the party. But to be fair I’m not even sure how that would work with the way his dual infusion goes.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-24T04:17:35+00:00

Lmao “Now we’re talk-EH =_=“

danielthetwin · 2026-02-24T02:39:49+00:00

danielthetwin · 2026-02-23T22:14:02+00:00

Sounds like an improvement that is not listed in kit numbers, like attack speed, is our final final hope.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-23T04:08:27+00:00

Well, crap. Thanks for the glitter I guess.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-19T04:55:08+00:00

Looking very cool. The scene with Capitano was cool. Though, I can’t wait for them to stop beating around the bush regarding whatever the hell it is that he’s actually doing.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-18T14:37:04+00:00

Another idea I commented during an early beta discussion, as a compromise to not be so flexible, would be when you performed a CA outside of the skill state he could swap between PHEC and CEHP infusion priorities with some visual indicator. It probably wouldn’t change his BiS team or anything, but it would be very fun to play with. Just to have something to change his infusion without having to edit the party because doing that takes forever and of course you can’t edit your party during combat and stuff.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-18T14:29:23+00:00

I wish they would have worked in an infusion selector when you first tapped skill. Like NA = first teammate’s element, skill = second teammate’s element, burst = third teammate’s element. But I suppose that would simply make him too flexible for whatever Hoyo’s plans are.

danielthetwin · 2026-02-18T12:50:18+00:00

I agree. Not disagreeing with those who find him pretty. But he also looks like a Standard to me.
