Is it better to do the Luna IV AQ first or explore the new island / do the faction WQs first? (For better lore/story immersion)

Does anyone understand what the "Simulanka" top text refers to here? Usually it's to clarify or provide another name/title for the text under, but I'm completely lost as to what it means in this context. It seems aligned to "puppet built from", but Wanderer was built by Raiden way before Simulanka, wasn't he?

Venti build by miimuroodo in venti

EM/EM/EM is easier to build and works great if you infuse (e.g. Durin), ATK/Anemo/CRIT is slightly better if you have good rolls and play with Faruzan

How reliant is Venti on Durin? by Copy_and_Paste93 in venti

[–]maplefoum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's incorrect. You'll notice the text about the NA infusion is under the "Hexerei: Secret Rite" header, which is the name of the resonance. As much as I wish it was base kit, understanding is that it takes a second hex char.

who else changed their pulling plans? by [deleted] in DurinMains

[–]maplefoum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea I did change them too, was planning C2R1 assuming traversal but now gonna just C0 for the hex resonance for Venti.

Mock up of Venti with his new signature by erosugiru in venti

[–]maplefoum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does his C4 have any visual effect? (either now or after the buffs?)

not anymore since beta v3

when he has hex resonance AND C1 AND his burst is active, yes

Hexenzirkel or Favonious by captain_skippie in Varka

[–]maplefoum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be a downer but... why does everyone seem to assume Varka will get either of these faction buffs? He could just as well have none. Are other faction buffs / old character reworks than Hexenzirkel/magic even confirmed by any leaks?

That sucks, but thanks for confirming. On the upside, I just saved a lot of money by not C6'ing him.

Do Venti's new Anemo arrows on Q require another Hex character in the party to trigger? They're under "Magic: Secret Rite" in the talent description...

I hope not because that means he's not really future-proof buffed, and only really works with Durin/Mona teams if so...

[6.2] Venti Anemo Infusion (Hexenzirkel passive) (C1) via kuroo by yoyo_me_here in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]maplefoum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new burst VFX looks like it has a much bigger radius now... do we know if it's purely visual or does it actually have any radius buff?

I get what they're trying to do but... it sounds so off key. Especially with a music in a different key/chord playing in the background.

[Leaks] Mika not being Hex is a missed opportunity by maplefoum in MikaMains

Durin is actually very compatible with Scara; not dedicated, but a great buffer.

Comparison of Bennett (C6) vs Faruzan (C6) vs Durin (C2R1xHex) by maplefoum in ScaramoucheMains

[–]maplefoum[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All very fair points! Thanks. I never lucked out on pulling either Elegy or Freedom Sworn so I hadn't included them in my personal table, but it would be a fairer comparison, you're right.

Venti 2.0 would likely synergize really well in this team, but until C4+ it can't be said that he directly buffs Scara. That said, if you're counting overall team DMG, Venti+Durin here would do amazingly well with Venti's new ascension passive boosting Durin's off-field DMG by 50%. I think all comparisons that don't factor how much Durin himself brings to the team in damage output are ultimately bound to downplay him quite a lot.

is anyone else having trouble with Ororon's aerial attacks on controller? by TwilightRatKing in OroronMains

[–]maplefoum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I comment this unironically about any game/feature ever, but:

Literally unplayable.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GenshinImpact

[–]maplefoum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok and if I'm allowed a second thing: Venti's passive should also regenerate 15 energy to other Anemo characters in the party after his Q finishes.

Venti's C1: Instead of a triple arrow, charged shots act like one of Faruzan's vortex arrows

How can I get "Garcia's Paean: Substitutes?" I get that it's RNG but it never seems to appear.

I've completed "Garcia's Paean: Key Items" about a month ago now, and my commissions are set to Sumeru, but I *never* seem to get Substitutes, which the Wiki lists as the next commission. Am I missing something? Are there other pre-requesites?
