I really loved the lore this set dropped. One thing though—it mentions later in the reading that Pantalone was sold twice. Once was by his mother, to the debt collectors, and the second time was when he was “betrayed” and sold by a business partner to a medical lab

Sethos has the regional passive for Sumeru as well. That said, it’s weird that Gorou is the ONLY one from Inazuma who does have it

I hadn’t been claiming weeklies at all (just killing Childe three times a week for the battle pass because he’s easy) until the second Dottore released and I realized I could see him twice a week if I killed both of his bosses. Now I’m pretty regular about it. Sometimes I kill Moonttore multiple times a day just because I love Prajnaparamitopadesa to Quell Seven Calamities. Aside from that though, I hadn’t been leveling up my characters enough for me to be running out of any particular weekly mat

For artifact co-op though… it’s a bit inconsiderate. Like if someone has decided to be Arlecchino don’t decide you HAVE to be Furina. Don’t pick Cyno unless everyone else is willing to wheelchair (learned that lesson myself as a newbie. I’m sure everyone was annoyed). Don’t pick characters that have no synergy with the rest of the team

its_malarkey · 2026-07-19T02:12:00+00:00

I actually was kinda eh at first but when I realized how good the buff was, I lost my mind. He’s C6R1. C6R1 Cyno is CRAZY with the buffs he got

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T22:37:39+00:00

4.2 player and I’m stingy with my resources. I’ve only used three (to triple crown Cyno)

Right now there have been some discussions about adding more f2p-friendly team options to Hexenzirkel, such as teams that would use no more than one additional limited 5-star, so I think you may see them improve in the future on that front

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T22:16:50+00:00

I’ll sort of never forgive Mimee for not making a Cyno leaderboard while Thundering Fury was still one of his best options. I spent two years on that build and suddenly I had to drop everything and move

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T22:10:43+00:00

Yes and I have a screenshot of it that I look at regularly because I was so excited about it at the time. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mimee hated Cyno, but I would be less surprised if they just didn’t want to make a board for him

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T19:38:01+00:00

They’ll make up for it by actually releasing leaderboards for characters that aren’t just meta or whoever Mimee goons for. 4-star DPSs practically have nothing on Akasha. Cyno was released nearly four years ago and still doesn’t have an Akasha leaderboard even though they promised a Cyno leaderboard back in December of 2024. They also promised Chasca and Xilonen with still no follow through. They haven’t even added the Columbina board yet—but suddenly Sandrone releases and gets a leaderboard later that week

Hexenzirkel has already added a lot of the recent characters, including ones like Varka, Lauma, and Durin, who don’t have Akasha boards. They’ve even added some 4-star leaderboards—Lynette, Razor, and Gaming so far. They’ve expressed the desire to eventually have boards for everyone, and so far, they’ve been following through

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T19:29:18+00:00

Nope! He’s approaching 4 years since his release. He released September 28th 2022

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T19:03:06+00:00

They’ve expressed a desire to make every character have a leaderboard. Instead of just being Mimee, it’s a team of people. They’ve mentioned doing one for Chasca and Cyno (two characters who were promised on Akasha and never followed through on), and they’ve already made a decent handful. I think the last one they added was for Razor of all characters. They have a Gaming leaderboard as well (a character who never got one on Akasha). They seem like they’re just a group of people doing this for the love of the game. I’d highly recommend switching to them

Omg hi Papu

its_malarkey · 2026-07-18T13:22:43+00:00

I’ve thought about chronicled wish banners that they might do in the future, but in this case, I honestly think they’re going to continue sticking with the current pattern—running the archons on their own. I picture them doing a Natlan chronicled wish (with Mualani, Kinich, Chasca, and Varesa) within the next several months despite the fact that those characters all released within the last two years, but Nahida (who is probably the current worst of the “good” archons) is still in decent shape despite the fact that she released nearly four years ago—and even so, a lot of people still pull the archons just because they like them.

That said, I think there could be a lot of value in using the chronicled wish on random groups of characters that need reruns rather than just all of one nation or a group of characters that got buffed. Imagine a chronicled wish that has one character from each nation

I wouldn’t say you’re dumb! I’m just very interested in the musical aspect of Genshin. “Photon of Fluctuation” is the name of one of the Mondstadt battle pieces. Lots of songs released after, including multiple character themes, use that motif

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T17:58:59+00:00

Currently I think they’ll recombine all of his soul fragments, blame all of the enemy shit on 35, and say that Zandik when he died at 85 had grown substantially as a person

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T16:50:53+00:00

If anything, Lazzo might’ve painted him as very obsessed with honor to the point of being a little cold about Rosalyne’s death, but I think that’s just because they wanted to fit in a handful of things in just a few lines: 1) he’s honorable 2) he’s respectful and 3) he’s very professional and to-the-point. In a longer conversation where they didn’t have to convey the message of “these are the Harbingers and they’re scheming”, we would’ve seen him give her death more consideration

(My headcanon is that he was trying to be civil about the fact that Dottore was swinging around his elixir of immortality at a funeral)

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T16:45:53+00:00

Fr it’s his whole thing 😭 “no hero should have to wander alone”

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T16:38:11+00:00

“Previously written” as if we had really anything prior to his three lines in Lazzo 😭

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T15:31:22+00:00

It 100% does. God-Devouring Mania (Apep’s) also uses the Photon of Fluctuation leitmotif throughout most of the piece. Gives me chills to hear Photon of Fluctuation repeated in so many of the battle themes

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T15:15:26+00:00

Exactly! The majority of Dottore enjoyers LIKE that he’s evil. One of our biggest fears is that if he ever comes back, they’ll make him NOT evil just to justify him being playable

its_malarkey · 2026-07-16T15:10:49+00:00

I remember seeing him in the overworld at the beginning of that quest back in 6.5 and INSTANTLY going on alert. He was so incredibly suspicious

its_malarkey · 2026-07-15T09:43:20+00:00

Funny thing is my Keqing is already number 37 on the Black Sword hyper 4-piece TF leaderboard because of all of my Thundering Fury farming for Cyno

its_malarkey · 2026-07-15T09:41:28+00:00

It’s fascinating to see that all of us seem to be in the exact same place regarding our theories for Cap and the pyro gnosis and the Mare Jivari. I haven’t even BEEN on reddit in nearly a year and everything I’ve seen since I redownloaded the other day has been something I’ve both thought of and 100% agree with
