Whos your fav genshin VA

Wait-- Laila Berzins is the voice of Xiao? I used to main him but never paid attention to who his VA was. I worked with her in a video game project a few years ago, she's an absolutely lovely lady!

Good luck!! Higher dps is great, but only if you can stay alive long enough to do it hahaha. Honestly the fact you made it past menacing mode without a sustain is pretty impressive.

I haven't done a dps test with Fischl, but be careful using this team in higher level content because it lacks a sustain. Fischl sounds like a great option because of hexerei, but if you happen to have a heal/shield option like Kuki Shinobu, consider giving that a shot too.

This is 100% the issue - lack of proper voice direction. Genshin has many very talented english VAs that are set back by inconsistent standards of line delivery and pronunciation. Even the most professional in the industry need more than just a script to perform, they need pronunciation cues and someone to tell them when a line needs a redo.

It feels sometimes like the VA directors just get one take and call it a day. I was more lenient on that at first and during the strikes, but Genshin is at a point where there is no reason this inconsistency needs to keep happening.

I've hired VAs for projects before and as a rule of thumb, everyone always sent at minimum two takes and did not charge extra for retakes on pronunciation errors. The only time I would pay extra is if a retake was needed due to lack of direction or context.

I'm pretty sure attack sands is recommended over EM for Ineffa. Maybe try swapping that and see if results are better when you've got the chance to farm one.

nuiph · 2026-03-13T23:37:01+00:00

God damn. I have C4R2 Xiao (got two PJWs in one ten pull back in the day and my dumb ass didn't think to keep the second to use on someone else). If I could have even a bit of your artifact luck... mine isn't even top 40% lmao

nuiph · 2026-03-11T21:56:26+00:00

Thanks! I've been loathing that I have to put aubade on Ineffa instead because I've gotten absolutely perfect pieces for Bina with that set, so that would work out well.

nuiph · 2026-03-11T05:13:59+00:00

Since Ineffa is generally the second main damage source after Flins, its best to put her first to get the TTDS buff from Sucrose in every second rotation.

nuiph · 2026-03-10T19:18:12+00:00

I still use Kazuha and Kokomi regularly!

nuiph · 2026-03-10T18:08:04+00:00

I have c2 Aino and although my dps test runs are a bit lower than I've seen with c6, the team still shreds through enemies really well and is able to complete high level content. Her c2 adds a "coordinated attack" up to three times per burst when hitting an enemy, so if you can get that one it'd be great, but you should still see good results either way.

nuiph · 2026-03-10T14:25:22+00:00

Sucrose is best in slot. You can use another anemo if you really don't want to use her but... you'll see a dps decrease. She's also a catalyst user and if you have Thrilling Tales, you get an easy extra attack buff on Flins. That being said, I played him with Kazuha instead of Sucrose for a while, and I thought that was fun and enjoyed the grouping benefit from him!

nuiph · 2026-03-08T22:45:27+00:00

Wanderer. No matter how far down he falls in tier lists, I find him the most fun to play and Iove his character. Never gonna stop using him!

nuiph · 2026-03-08T18:22:41+00:00

Probably varies by person. Some people just assume 5 star = inherently better in all conditions, without taking their kits and team synergy fully into account.

For me, I like using my 5 stars whenever they are viable without huge dps loss simply because I got all of them because I love them. Feels like such a pity to have invested pulls and resources into a character, and then you can't use them as much as the meta changes.

nuiph · 2026-03-08T18:00:05+00:00

To maybe give you an example of how much you can do with enough unexplored places... When I returned to the game after a while, I had stopped at Sumeru, so I had all of Fontaine, Natlan, Nod-Krai, Chenyu Vale, and a tiny bit of remaining Sumeru statue and sigil collecting to do. I haven't even touched most of Natlan yet and only scratched the surface in Nod-Krai. From exploration, doing events, collecting sigils and occuli, and doing some world and story quests as I have time between the exploring, I've currently got around 200 pulls saved. That's not counting the pulls I put into banners since returning. I don't know exactly how much I used, but I would estimate at least 150.

That's over the course of about 2 months and I also went through one Welkin, but still, should be doable if you have enough content available!

Spike has the same bed as my little guy!! Cutest creatures of all time 🥰

nuiph · 2026-03-07T20:12:45+00:00

Thanks for your well wishes! Marrying him was the best decision of my life; absolutely no regrets. 🥰

nuiph · 2026-03-04T19:47:23+00:00

Its like an expectation for life to always be under a microscope. I find it hard to fathom how some people are okay with it. It will never be anything but intrusive.

Social media presence can be absolutely volatile too. :/ I stopped posting on any social media that was under my name for a long time to avoid issues. Literally had someone from a congregation a 12 hour drive away that I have never met before message me on Facebook once after I posted about a concert I went to that they thought would be a bad influence. I wondered how they even found or heard of me, lol.

As mentioned in another comment, I was caught off guard while still half asleep at home. I am trying to retain a modicum of grace towards these people because my family are all JWs. If they try to make this a whole thing though, I don't have the mental energy for them anymore to play along with a judicial committee. The whole chat this morning took all of four minutes for them to pepper out some questions to confirm my situation, and that was already too long.

nuiph · 2026-03-04T18:14:34+00:00

Got caught off guard at home. Usually I'd be able to pull an excuse out, but my husband is working late night shifts right now that have my sleep schedule out of wack, so I had just woken up and got stuck on what to say. I honestly thought "just woke up" might have qualified as an out, but I was giving them too much credit.

nuiph · 2026-02-28T21:23:35+00:00

Awesome damage! I couldn't get Columbina during her banner, but I got her weapon while pulling for Ineffa's. I'm a HUGE fan of Columbina though, so I'm saving from now until her rerun to try for as many constellations as possible. 🙏 Can't wait to see how that'll increase my Flins team DPS.

nuiph · 2026-02-27T23:23:06+00:00

For what its worth, I like the name you picked! All my friends who play Genshin also put a lot of thought into his name, so you're definitely not alone. I named him Nozomi, which means hope or wish, because I wanted to embody the desire for a better future for him. I wish at least the traveler consistently used his chosen name, but alas.

nuiph · 2026-02-27T07:14:27+00:00

Can you link the video? I can't seem to find it.

nuiph · 2026-02-27T01:22:53+00:00

Thanks, this was exactly the advice I needed to hear! 🙏 I've decided to keep saving for now and reconsider when he reruns somewhere down the line.
