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

I really wish they'd stop putting him in there.
Your wish has been granted, but they're putting the Wenut in instead. You're welcome.

In other news, they revealed the 4-stars for Ineffa/Citlali's banners. Xingqiu, Fischl and Sethos. Honestly a pretty terrible lineup by this point. I spent some extra wishes on Mav's banner to get more Iansan cons, so I'm thankfully at 64 pity now. Really hoping for an easy 50/50 win.
 
I was thinking that it should have been no problem with Neuvi+Furina.
But that explains it. 🤣🤣🤣
Yea, I went through and farmed proper artifacts for everyone with at least correct main stats, and then ran out of both Mora and Fodder and left it alone for a while. Didn't even think to check before I started the run. Ah well, still beat it, but it was hairy.

So they traded one 'you have to bring a bow' boss with another one? Ah well, at least you don't need Childe/Yelan/Sige for Wenut, any non Geo/Anemo/Dendro bow works for it. But yea, not great news either way.

I'm close to a pity myself after dumping for Iansan dupes, I have her at C4 now. I'm still not sold on Ineffa, she's going to have to wow me in her demo for me to waste the pity on her. I'm suspecting Lauma or whatever the tiddy druid's name is, is in the following patch.

I'm just kidding. No clue what'd be in the next Theater. There's just a lot of annoying bosses in this game. The mechanical worm from the Chasm is another one.

I think I got to C3. Not an i(a)nsane result but good enough.

Hard to say how useful Ineffa is. Probably depends on the new artifact sets and her synergy with that lightkeeper guy. I just like her design so I'll throw her in a Chasca or Mizuki team down the line. Never really used Electro-charged before so it's kind of novel for me. I think they said Lauma was in the 2nd phase, but I have primos to spare so I'm not worried.
 
5.8 Theater has the elements combination of all time.
Superconduct and Anemo?? Yikes.

Sounds like old characters might be getting some visual upgrades soon to bring them in line with new releases. Supposed to kick off with Albedo, Ayaka and Itto.

Cool if true, but I want kit upgrades too.

Yeah all this sounds like, to me, is that mods are about to break and the kits are still going to suck. Lame.

Only 3 characters is a low number. Well at least that suggests it may be something more comprehensive than just AI upscaling the textures and calling it a day. Maybe improved model geometry...Although they already have the "Dynamic Character Resolution" feature that smooths out model geometry.

Traveller should be the #1 on that list, then Archons, not some characters hardly anyone uses anymore and newer players don't have access to. I doubt Itto and Albedo will get reruns anytime soon, assuming they ever even appear again outside of the chronicled wish.
 
6.0 artifacts revealed.
The Lunar Phase mechanic is just how many nod-krai members are on the team. Crescent = 1 member and Gibbous = 2 members.
So you need 2 nod-krai members on the team to get their full effect. The DPS set for example only gives 15% CR with 1 nod-krai member and 45% CR with 2 members.

Nahida C2 updated for Lunar-Bloom.

So you need multiple Nod-Krai characters and both artifact sets represented in each team. I guess that's where Aino comes in.
 
Lauma and Aino kits fully leaked:

Lauma sounds like Bloom Shenhe, with stacks that she spends to improve Bloom DMG. Looks like those leaks about Aino might be true? She increases the team's "Lunarity Level" which I assume gives you those significant buffs. Since she's the only Hydro from Nod-Krai for now, she'll be a mainstay in most teams I assume.

Some Flins stuff out there too, but not as detailed as this and I gotta run now, so someone else can post those.

No mention of Aino enabling Lunar reactions.:messenger_frowning_
Too much to hope for from the free character I guess.

Here's Flins

Nice.





*edit*
New Theater difficulty in 6.0.
12 Acts, minimum 28 characters. Not gonna lie, this scares me.

Well I have like no resources but I'm just gonna throw everything at the banner until Ineffa leaves and hope I get her. I really like her design. That's it. That's the reason.
Edit- you can blame Violet Evergarden for this.


Edit 2
My very first 10 pull went gold!
And it was… Jean

So now I'm gonna go buy Space Marine 2 because it's on sale. Not spending any money on this gacha garbage lmfao. Hopefully I get enough pulls again before she leaves. If not oh well. They aren't gonna fomo me into giving them a fucking cent.

That's his lore. He's so unlucky, he was abandoned by his parents and found by a group of adventurers who raised him. They're all men so he calls them his dads. This game is Chinese, no gays allowed.

Edit: Just won the 50/50 and got Ineffa. She's not fully built yet, but it's obvious she's future impact right now. I also noticed the new event has a free blue claymore that buffs EM for Lunar-charged and Bloom reactions. Obviously meant for Aino.

Alright for a second I thought they had jumped on the bandwagon. He does talk about it more later in the quest and I was realizing it may not be what I initially thought.

I would have lost 50/50 on Citlali but I got saved by capturing radiance. Thank goodness for that mechanic, that's the second time it's saved me.
Levelled her to 70 and went into Abyss and hit a 1.9m burst with Mavuika.
 
6.0 Character animations. Flins is looking pretty freaking good.
I really like the sounds on all 3 of them.

Damn, I want all 3. Our first Hydro Claymore officially too.

Flins is by far the coolest /biggest edgelord male we've gotten. I hope they don't do a weak sounding guy with a lisp for his VA like they did with Capitano in English. Ruined that whole character for me.

Lauma big booba.

Can't believe that Aino looks to be so useful. Her hydro application looks steady, hopefully the cool down is reasonable.

Sucks for me that they're all 6.0 though, I always lose 50/50s when I'm excited about a character.
 
Welp... I lost the 50/50, then spent 40 more pulls, and still no Citlali. :lollipop_pensive: I'm going to see if I can get enough primos this banner period without dipping into my crystal stash.

On the other hand I managed to C6 Xingqiu, so it's not all bad I guess.

Well this is fucking terrible if true, turns out you might actually need 3 nod-krai members in the party to max out the lunar phase effects and get the full benefit of the new artifacts.

Looks like they reverted it back to 1/2 characters.

Also news about some QoL improvements: Artifacts will now show the 4th hidden stat line, so you no longer have to upgrade trash artifacts hoping crit will show up. Condensed resin now contains 60 resin. Finally, they're adding avatar frames in-game as a reward for defeating local legends.

Also, they've stopped doing those videos where Dainsleif explains character kits. They were a bit redundant but the little comments and lore drops he did will be missed.
