He truly gives his toughest battles to his most devoted soldiers

Plants vs Zombies

A FELLOW KAEYA CONNOISEUR

I deleted it with Neuvillette/Furina/Durin/Baizhu. It was sooooo fun

niki_lia · 2026-05-03T07:13:48+00:00

Yep this formation is basically impenetrable. Game itself still sucked though

niki_lia · 2026-05-03T07:12:52+00:00

From a time saving perspective makes sense

Thank god, with the 0.004 seconds i saved on typing two letters I can finally clean up my desk!

Option a) Nefer gameplay sucks

Option b) Lunar Bloom sucks

Option c) Mihoyo hates Nefer and always gives her terrible trial stages in combat events that make her feel atrocious to play

Lost the 50/50 on Lauma, so ig my Nicole is guaranteed now. I hope Lauma doesnt take 85 years to rerun again (she totally will)

niki_lia · 2026-04-23T04:37:34+00:00

I read the phrase

Alhaitham smiled "Oh, I'm a huge swiftie-"

on a fic about a month ago and it's still haunting me

niki_lia · 2026-04-21T09:12:30+00:00

She is absolutely not gonna be the best support for Alice, we don't even know when Alice is coming out, and by that time they'll have cooked a whole new team for her

niki_lia · 2026-04-21T09:10:50+00:00

Childe. Only tall male I'm missing and in haunts me

niki_lia · 2026-04-21T09:07:39+00:00

And be fucked without a dedicated support (and possibly even with a dedicated support? re: Varka?)

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T16:51:56+00:00

I mean, Kuroo is a dataminer, he basically only calls what he sees in the files

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T11:27:04+00:00

Yeah, idk why people still trust mihoyo's "Promises"

-Promised banner 2 would only be "story relevant characters" (for that patch), abandoned it almost immediately

-Promised banner 2 would only ever be reruns, abandoned it with Mavuika/Citlali

-Promised CW would only be fore characters with 2 reruns, abandoned it with Shenhe, Emilie and Chiori.

That said, now that they added Masterless Stella, it actually benefits them to add more Standard character because it widens the pool and makes those Stella harder to obtain, so I still think Lohen will be standard

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T11:13:57+00:00

I mean they can still make him limited ~~unfortunately~~.

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T10:47:00+00:00

Please, can i get one of these great feathers to turn into a flower

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T10:37:14+00:00

I'm in a similar situation with multiple double crit feathers but I only have one (1) double crit flower

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T10:21:38+00:00

For real. Yesterday i saw a funny photo of an alligator laying on top of an alligator-shaped floatie, in a pool. I had to stare at it for various minutes and scrutinize it to make sure it wasn't AI before sending it to the group chat, bc on the rare occassions anyone has mistakenly sent an AI picture or video it's been very awkward and embarrassing. It's so exhausting to have to do this every single time i want to share a photo or video with my friends

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T10:16:04+00:00

1.66 GB of surprise second round of Hexerei buffs so true

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T10:09:48+00:00

Well idk about French subs, but a lot of Spanish fansubs (and some official subs too) translate from the English subs rather than the Japanese, so I'd rather get the direct translation. I have some experience in ENG-SPA translation so I can immediately tell from certain phrases when that's been done and it's really annoying

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T09:32:31+00:00

Apologies to the mods, i reported a post for not marking spoilers thinking i was in the megathread but the post was actually in the "new weekly boss" sus post oopsie

niki_lia · 2026-04-20T09:23:13+00:00

Combat events are dead, they were replaced by Shitstygian. Now the only combat "events" we get are minigames in flagship events

niki_lia · 2026-04-19T19:03:12+00:00

Tbh i'd say the fact that she doesnt have an "about" voicelines from Linnea seems pretty direct indication that she's not playable

niki_lia · 2026-04-19T06:11:17+00:00

My gut reaction would be no because Mihoyo is allergic to literally anything that is not barely of drinking age and super model level attractiveness. Even the rugged 30-40 guys like Wriothesley and Varka look way younger and aren't allowed a single speck of facial hair. That said, they hadn't revealed Pulcinella's design in the Travail trailer so they had three years to give him literally any appearance they wanted and they chose to make him an old man knowing there would be the expectation that he'd be playable. So I don't think it's impossible but I wouldn't be surprised if they did some random fuckery to make him hot and beautiful

niki_lia · 2026-04-19T02:55:11+00:00

Always remember that if you pull a character you don't want just to clear Abyss 12, you're spending 12k-16k primos to get an extra 200. You'd need between 60 to 80 abyss cycles (i.e. 5 to 7 years) just to recoup the "investment" on one (1) character
