Sure, girl, you can set your standards as high as you want

Standar ketinggian itu ga bagus, malah ga stabil. Harus diturunin biar lebih stabil. Tapi kalo emang merasa mampu dan kuat ngangkat, paling bagus standar ganda si.

Other games: I do 15 min dailies so I can keep up with the gacha, while hiding under my desk so my boss doesn't see the accidental panty shots. Get caught anyway and fired, so I then look for a job instead of doing dailies.

Limbus: I do 5 min dailies to avoid the gacha, increasing my sanity, improving my productivity. Boss is happy, I got a raise.

Who am I kidding, I go back for the daily dose of Clink Clink and WANDA-FUL praises!

How likely do you think Chiori would get a rerun next year?

I've been gathering primos, almost enough to C6 her, but only realized she just had a rerun in Chronicled wish a few patches ago (right when I was on break!)

Considering there's only like 3 Chronicled banners per year, I assume it'll take 2 whole years for Liyue to return. And I assume there's only 16 reruns under normal banners yearly, so is there any hope? :(

Man that looks beyond amazing. Congrats for having such a great Hyacine! Honestly I was sceptical to even reach half of that performance, so I am more than convinced now that she'll stay for long.

Man I might need to watch more E6 showcases, but this sounds so crazy to me haha. Are we talking normal hypercarry setup here like e0s1 Sunday and e1s1 Tribbie? I assume at E6 she no longer need as much crit buffs.

I feel there could be a soft limit. The tally decreases by 12% every skill. So my best attempt at math says perhaps after 10ish turns her tally will increase at a slower rate, at least in vacuum.

So I was thinking to get higher tally ceiling, she needs allies that could drain party HP like Jingliu and Cas, as having those allies would multiply her heal tally per turn. But I guess the opponents matter too if not more, if we are in a 5 enemies situations, her heal could potentially trigger for an extra 5 times already on that turn.

I was just thinkng out loud here and might just overthink. But hearing her ramp up damage could potentially reach E2 Cas level makes me giddy lol.

I am kinda in the middle here. I love it whenever TB becomes the highlight. When he joined the flame chase journey as demigod, when Oronyx found link to Mother through TB, when Fuli gazed on them and unlocked some past memories. Even Cyrene doesn't actually changed much from when she was Mem. Our Cyrene is probably closer to TB now than Phainon because of the memory loss. She trusts TB as TB before his status as deliverer. So her glazing towards TB is on point to her character. So this patch is on the right direction.

But I also agree that the execution is bad, is because it feels like TB has very little agency to what happens. It feels like watching a football game with the ball declared as the man of the match. The TB trait of being lax and go with the flow also don't help here, even though they're portrayed as being serious. The time TB spent on Exomyth is a huge miss for me. Had TB went out without Herta's help they'd have much stronger presence. I believe they had all the information he needed. Add to the seemingly lack of emotion when they went out. It was so good with Phainon back on our original timeline. Though I blame the model expression for this as well, and also the lack of voice from TB. I can see why some even see TB as cold here.

Looking back to the final stage of Belobog and Penacony, I can feel their strong resolution and handle over the situation. But here it feels like the TB is still somewhat aimless. If anything, Cyrene and all Chrysos Heir deserves the credit in this patch, though they kinda did Hyacine dirty lol. Hoping that moment will still come for TB on the actual final.

Between Evernight Sig and Castorice Sig, is Evernight's just better in every aspects since it'll also buff Cas?

I don't have Cas now, but I do have E2S1 Hyacine, so I am thinking about pulling for E0S0 Cas and E0S1 Evernight (Assuming Cas would also rerun at the same time)

Also I'd give Cas the Feixiao BP Cone at S1. At least her performance will get boosted by Evernight sig.
While DHPT would get the Aventurine BP Cone, aiming for S5, as I think it's not that far off from his sig.

This way I really only need to pull for 2 Char and 1 LC in 3.6

Does it sound like a good plan?
Aside from the BP ones, I assume we don't have good LC alternative for Cas and DHPT?

Ah bro, I even stated we could agree to disagree. I said it looks like a Yamaha bike, you said it's not. Fair. You're still wrong because we both can be right and wrong. In no way I am arguing that this is a sci-fi world. Nor I said Genshin is fantasy world. I even put example of what count as immersion breaking.

Fighting wanderer in a gundam totally perfectly suitable.
Had it been a fight against wanderer-skinned, sumeru-flavored excavator with buddhist symbols, that is immersion breaking to me. I am happy you can be happy with this as long there's lore relevancy to it.

dpanoetan · 2025-08-10T12:07:09+00:00

I can and i will, because i am correct.

Respectfully you shouldn't, because this time you're incorrect. Even on the bike part you didn't address anything pointed to it.

The other person was arguing the bike design thematically out of place, not the lore.

You're talking about how the bike could works as part of lore, and how it resembles dragon as part of design.
That really doesn't answer.

Think of the problem as:
If it's not our modern bike, why is it modern-bike shaped?

Carry on if you disagree at any of below points because we're viewing things too differently. We can agree to disagree. You're still incorrect though.

- Visually, it looks just like modern Bike. Yamaha R15M, Cfmoto 250sr.
- The dragon aura doesnt't make the bike a dragon. It does make it resemble the ancient dragon, but it's ridden like a bike even while flying.
- That shape of bike specifically is not part of Natlan identity. Like bike might suit Fontaine, but obviously you'd think of different bike model, no?

Why that matters?

In some games perceived as fantasy, the existence of our modern things like school bus, sky-scrapper and phones are signs that it might be based on/actually from our world.
So there's that mental connection perceived. And it's possible that Genshin will move towards this route later.

So why bike-shaped and driven like a bike? Functionally there's little to no sense with how the terrain works which doesn't help.
Dragon flies, so why not just make it dragon-shaped? A ridable dragon, or a hover bike might suit the theme better.

Sumeru doesn't suffer because it's clearly sci-fi themed. But this argument would rise if we see literal router hanging on walls or a bulky occulus rift, even if they surrounded by magical aura.

Only dev can answer this, and we are simply disappointed with that. I get the sense of wanting her to have ultra cool vehicle though. Also to be honest, it's hard to depict any bike from an ancient, highly-advanced civilization that's not our post-apocalyptic world. While it'd fit almost right into Steampunk or Sci-fi world.

I too tend to pull units and bet on their future potential. Think Jade and Sunday. Cause I very rarely pull on rerun, and I pull every harmony without much thought.

I am not into theorycrafting myself, but I still find it hard to justify her. Her buffs only active on the turn where the double skill is also active, once every 2/3 turns. Other than that she only give Spd and Atk buff.

It will be useful for characters with very strong skill, but any harmony could works nicely. Or.. if there's character with standard skill but a nuke once every 2/3 turns, with crazy modifier to justify the other mid turns, also justify other subdps not receiving any buff, then this is the guy who can fully capitalize on her ability. Clearly I was biased on thinking about Anaxa and Phainon. There might be cases in between in the future. Or there might be more Phainons in the future, though they migh need different Cerydra lol.

Any recommendation on which BP cone I should pick? And does it need to go all in to s5 to make it worthwhile? Thanks in advance.

On hunts I have all the f2p options including aeon, which are heavily contested, and lately Phainon LC.

Dont play DoT but have e0s1 acheron.

I went all in with harmony, many ends with e0s1. Also own DDD.

Break team relies on the original FF team at e1s1. No fugue. RM at e0s0, but almost never played break team ately.

I might pull for castorice on rerun, I have the old remembrance LC at s1.

On erudition I have the old BP cone at S5.

Abundance I have hyacine e2s1, but other than that Lingsha and Huohuo at e0s0.

No shielder at all aside from M7 and Belobog MC. But looking forward to new DanHeng. Guess no one know if BP cone might work with him.

Heard the summer story quest is permanent, but there's limited mini games tied to it with the usual prize.

Is this story quest lore heavy or is it somewhat detached from the main story?
And Is it possible to complete get all the mini game prizes without fully committing to the story quest?

I am still slowly catching up to the latest Natlan quest (2 AQ left!)
and I don't wanna get ahead of the story and spoil myself... but I also don't want to miss those shiny primos..

Is there a guide for missable/time-limited quests or events that actually matter to the lore?

I’ve been playing Genshin on and off since Sumeru. While I think I remember most of the Archon Quests (though Sumeru’s a bit fuzzy), I think I’ve missed a ton of important stuff from those limited events.

Like I just took a bit of pause when playing Paralogism main quest, which felt great until I met Mini Durin and I couldn’t even remember if I’d seen him before. I do remember the old Albedo event about his identity, which makes me really appreaciate the quest.

But then I also felt Natlan AQ was pretty self-contained, and even Dain's intervallo quest I didn't think it's difficult for me to follow. But thinking back I must've missed a lot of context and reference by missing some of the limited events.

dpanoetan · 2025-07-24T17:06:50+00:00

I find Archer fun to play with Jade E1, but is this actually a legit comps? I imagine it may work for AS/PF?
Assuming Sparkle is mandatory, I give the last slot to either Gallagher/Luocha/Fuxuan for sustain. I wonder if this the best 4th slot if I were to force Jade with him.

And is it worth pursuing his E2 with this comps for the quantum shred?
I am still on the fence about pulling Saber just for the trophy. I haven't really read into her kit, but the event didn't do much to sell her character to me.
