Genshin Impact |OT| 5.0 (Natlan) - Everything Changed When the Fire Nation Arrived

You enabled it to begin with? I learned my lesson on the very very first event in 1.0, which was a janky ass co-op battle mode.
This was a while ago (6-7 months back I think), but for some reason when I unlocked the world co-op it defaulted to open so I had to restrict it since I had randos joining my solo instance.

I actually do have a copy of black sword , I have it on her for now because of the crit substat

It's fine. Losing 50/50 is such a feel bad moment. It is what it is.

I even considered spending but shut that down quick. With all the characters coming in WuWa I plan to have to spend a bit there and I've already put money into Genshin. It's not getting anymore lol.

Well I'm not sure if it will make you feel better or worse, but the weapon banner is actually 75/25, not 50/50.

In reality though, Skirk is so OP that you're talking the difference between 20k/hit and 24k/hit in rapid fire succession. She'll still melt everything.
 
Icymanipulator Icymanipulator Now I understand your frustration with that flying boss that's in the current Imaginarium Theater rotation. I've got about 8 maybe 9 characters fully built, so I can't even attempt the hardest difficulty. I just did the normal one, but when I reached the flying boss I failed like 3 times. Had enough and then dipped, lol. I got the rewards for the first 5 levels, so that's more than enough for me.

I can't even imagine going for that boss without Yelan lol. I got all the stellas on highest difficulty, but I was ready to lose that single one if I didn't get Yelan from the rng.
 
How does Yelan help with that boss? I tried it, but her burst attacks don't even seem to hit it and her aimed shot isn't that good. I ultimately ended up bringing Furina whose pets just teleport up to the enemy's level and blast it. I had Ganyu help out too.

But yeah, Imaginarium can be super frustrating. I had to restart multiple times because the game just wouldn't give me good stuff.

I use her charged bow attack to take out the little mini things to knock the dragon down, and you can also hit him in the sky with it. Do Furina's pets hit him in the sky too?

Yeah they just teleport up to him, float in the air and continuously attack him. Might be quicker to destroy those things he puts on the floor, but I've never been that successful with that strat.
 
That boss is annoying with anyone other than Furina, with her it's an afterthought. I was lucky on my theater run and got Neuvillette and Furina pretty early on so I just made sure to keep them around until that fight.


5.8 Banners. Hopefully I can snatch Citlali this time.

One for the lore enthusiasts.


Love that we're getting more deep lore now, but I'm worried they're going to drop too much, way too fast, and the impact (lol) will be lessened because of it.

Anyways, confirmed that these are the 4 shades. Paimon is looking might suspicious after that video...

Not caught up on Genshin lore (probably never will at the pace I'm progressing through the Archon quests), but I'll say just one word to describe Ronova: Mommy.

Pulls spent. Mauvika x2 (up to C4) and finished with an early Mizuki …so my 50/50 is reset. Finished Iansan with 4* pulls, too.

Will likely have my 2nd archon up to C6 on her next return. (Not bad for a F2P!)
 
Interesting. Old summer events coming back for new players would be nice.

I guess that means we're not getting a new summer area this year though. I guess Nod Krai is the new summer?

Honestly with the last bunch being all baby-fied, I'm fine with them not doing one this year.

*edit*

Another set of leaks, different timelines and details, and there are more spoilers here, so I'm putting it behind a tag.

I'll believe it when I see it. That would probably balloon the install size for Genshin since each summer event has it's own map. They could make each of them an optional download I suppose.

We are getting a summer event, there's been some leaked stuff.

Man I hate everything about this. Why did the summer events turn from the amazing Fishcl/Mona/Kazuha event to 'baby's 1st event time'? They should have just kept reopening and expanding/changing the archipelago.

Really happy right now because I finally got some good RNG on all these artifacts I've been trying to farm for my Skirk! Now I have her sitting at 70 CR and 200 CD (without the mochi weapon buffs). There's still room for improvement since I need to get a better goblet for her, but all the other artifacts I have equipped are now in a solid spot with their sub-stat rolls.

I missed out on all of those so I've only experienced the playtime with Klee events. It was pretty jarring the first time, just like my first time watching one of the livestreams. I was expecting to see the devs talking about upcoming content instead it's legit like a show made for toddlers.

Whatever, I just skip all the dialogue and play it for the primos, free skin, and exploration.

Feels like dodging a bullet the odd times that an artifact doesn't go to shit while leveling it.

Funny enough, I just saw this posted that gives a look back at the best summer event. The areas were so cool, and each relevant character had their own island with their own gimmicks. Definitely one of the top 3 events in Genshin history. Maybe that leak that says the old summer events will be returning as permanent content will be true, so you can check it out.

Area spoilers more than anything else, if you're worried about that.

Nice scenery, really like the Fischl and Mona areas.
Yea pretty sad to go from that to what we get now.
 
What was the story for in the first summer area? I remember that the main goal was Alice providing memories for Klee but I don't remember much outside of that.

That's all it was, she wanted to give Klee a proper summer and to make Albedo realize he's part of the family. Jean was overworked and Barbara wanted to spend time with her sister.

And it was a soft introduction for Inazuma, with some lore and an early opportunity to fight Maguu Kenki.
 
I'm currently working on my Candace as a Arleccino support, and I'm looking at suggested weapons for her. In doing so, I realized that in countless standard banner pulls and some weapon banner pulls over 5 years, I have never once gotten the Skyward Spine polearm.

For comparison's sake, I have 5 Jade Spears and Skyward Atlas (honestly both much better weapons), and at least two of every other 5* standard banner weapon.

Crazy.

*edit*

Special Program announcement for Friday. For some reason, it feels like this patch just started for me.

I'm hoping Citlali's banner will be in the second half of the next patch because I need more time to grind for primos (kinda went broke getting both Skirk and her mochi weapon).

I really don't want to miss out on her like I did during her original banner run back in January.

Same here. Crazy that it was half a year ago already.
 
After banging my head against Dire difficulty in Stygian Onslaught, going back to Abyss floor 12 was such a breeze. Felt like I was playing floor 10.
 
This pulling ritual is pretty funny. Although I wouldn't mind losing my 50/50 to Mona since I don't have her yet and would love to pull her eventually. Maybe they'll introduce a free 5* selector for the standard banner in the next anniversary 🤞, or maybe I'm on too much copium? :lollipop_pensive:

They already introduced a free standard 5 star selector last anniversary so no, it's not too much copium.

Yea they even said explicitly that they would be giving one selector for every anniversary from here on out, and that they would be adding at least 1 new 5* standard character per year. This year was Mizuki.

Thanks, bros! I wasn't playing Genshin during the anniversary last year, so I missed this. I guess I'll be getting my Mona pretty soon!

My sister picked Qiqi because she didn't have her yet.

Think I picked Dehya.

Think I picked Diluc on my 2nd account.
