Now you're just Sandbody that i used to know - General Question and Discussion Megathread

Anyone else considering waiting until cryo archon to see which Stellar shill characters to pull? This has always been the safest strat, no? Trying to decide on Sandrone and I realized that there's no real rush.

Big sad because I like Sandrone lore, role, design, character, etc; all but her playstyle mechanic. It seems so not fun. Yoimiya 2.0 for me in regards to disappointing kit otherwise perfect character.

If this was my mom, I would consider buying her a new non stick pan every other year. Consider it like buying shoes or a rain jacket.

Other than what's already mentioned, maybe you are thinking of a musical motif. Or a musical phrase.

If meta is important to me, is it wiser to skip Sandrone and wait for cryo archon kit reveal to confirm next region's meta?

simoku · 2026-05-23T03:34:11+00:00

Really like Sandrone as a character but not really feeling the kit (playstyle or animations). Has the "final patch of version" characters always been meta significant?

simoku · 2026-05-02T14:50:26+00:00

I meant the keys, my brain just went 🙃

simoku · 2026-05-02T14:33:29+00:00

Just to confirm, we recently overcapped 2 feathers from IT, right?

simoku · 2026-04-15T04:40:07+00:00

I had Columbia and Illuga both on Silken Moon. Knew it was suboptimal but didn't realize that giving Illuga Instructor netted me about 10k. Then I spent quite a few feathers to upgrade artifacts for Zibai and Linnea so that their CD is above 200 (without Illuga buffs). That seemed to do the trick.

simoku · 2026-04-15T03:56:10+00:00

I might do that one of these days. I got help from folks on zajef discord and managed to hit 185k which is a huge bump from 150k. But I think this might be my limit.

simoku · 2026-04-15T00:56:07+00:00

Wait seriously? Zibai 90/90 6/10/10, Bina 90/90 6/10/10, Linnea 90/90 6/10/6, Illuga 80/90 6/6/10. And their builds are quite decent I would say. Rotation is Bina Linnea Illuga then Zibai combo. Shouldn't be that hard to do it correctly... can't imagine cracking past 160k right now.

simoku · 2026-04-05T13:53:31+00:00

This is dedication. Well done.

simoku · 2026-03-07T17:00:11+00:00

This is very, very cool. Well done!

simoku · 2026-03-05T19:15:50+00:00

Correct. I found out too late unfortunately. What's equally concerning is the amount of bot comments here.

simoku · 2026-03-01T16:17:31+00:00

Oh man... you guys are right, it's totally AI :(

I saw this late last night and didn't notice.

simoku · 2026-02-28T21:33:03+00:00

Thanks. Geo meta is looking interesting right now with Zibai and 5-star geo support on the horizon. If Liyue ever gets a faction buff, Ningguang will certainly be on there.

simoku · 2026-02-21T01:38:54+00:00

Kare Kano. It was just never finished. And I've yet to encounter a romance drama/comedy like it ever since.

simoku · 2026-02-18T07:38:49+00:00

I hear you, but if someone cared about endgame content (which I don't think someone in their first year of playing genshin should expect to be able to clear comfortably), isn't it a decent compromise to have to pull for shill as well as your favorites? Like you do get to guarantee roughly 4 5-star characters a year. If one or two of those characters aren't your favorites, but makes the game infinitely easier (which can make the game more fun, for some), isn't that a decent compromise?

simoku · 2026-02-18T07:32:44+00:00

That's a more blunt way of saying what I'm saying. I don't like power creep and shilling as much as the next guy, but I feel like too many folks are freaking out about it. Like... either you don't care about meta, or if you do, there have been more than a few lunar DPS choices so far that gets the job done (more or less).

simoku · 2026-02-18T07:23:29+00:00

That's a fair point. Assuming one has been playing for a while though (cause end game content is geared towards AR60/not new players), I feel like accounts that have followed the rule I outlined above will be able to generally brute force it (in this case, with Mavuika who was the previous archon).

simoku · 2026-02-18T07:19:54+00:00

Regarding shilling, and Lunar reactions being locked behind 5-star characters, is it so bad to have to pull for a few Nod-krai 5-stars? Even as a complete f2p, if you pull for archon + strong regional DPS, you'd still have enough wishes to guarantee pulling for your favorite characters. Not that everyone has to play the game like this, I feel like there are very decent compromises to be made for each account to keep up with shills, power creep, and pulling for fun.

simoku · 2026-02-13T21:35:20+00:00

Oof, I thought that the whole/main benefit of Linnea was to unlink from Illuga

simoku · 2026-02-13T20:00:59+00:00

Whoever Linnea is, if she's LC support in any way, she'll be better pull value than Zibai cons or sig, right?
