Looks like we're getting the translators again for the show, rather than VAs. The strike still hasn't been resolved I guess.

Well, I’m usually pretty harsh on cosplays because the faces are usually so shopped and computer enhanced they look fake and it just turns me off, but Alice Delish really delivers here, the photos are older, but new to me.
She’s insanely beautiful
and the costume is great too lol

In game related news I ended up building up that free copy Candice, mostly because i had nothing to do and when I looked into it I saw she’s one of those “easy to build” characters that really just wants a bunch of HP, and well, she looks nice too hahahah
Edit
I made the mistake of checking Alice’s socials, god damn, she is genuinely hot, holy shit what a smoke show

Three new areas:
Banners are Chasca and Lyney with Ororon, followed by Neuvillette and Zhongli. I feel bad for anyone who's interested in going for Neuvi's catalyst.
Overall seems like a solid update. It will be interesting to see who they tease for 5.3.

Adding more and more characters while using the same system to offer these characters is getting really frustrating for me personally.
Only once did I try pulling a 5-star weapon for Nilou. Took me ~200 (!!) pulls while getting Nahida's weapon two times before I finally got the one for Nilou. About a year ago I started saving for Hu Tao's weapon and when I finally had enough pulls, with which other character does she get offered? Nahida again. So I could either risk getting Nahida's weapon a third time or wait for who knows how long for a rerun of Hu Tao (most likely ~ 1 year).
Shenhe's last rerun was 15 patches ago, thats more than 1,5 years. Ganyu's last rerun was only 1 patch later. It just baffles me that hoyolab thinks its the way to go to not offer certain characters for way more than a year.

I can only assume they do this on purpose to fuel fomo and encourage spending. If not, they're truly incompetent. Lyney getting his second rerun before Wrio even gets his first is wild.
IMO they should just loosen the restrictions on the Chronicled Wish banner and whip those out 3 ~ 4 times a year. Problem solved. Or just have characters available on a temporary banner on their birthday.

Still not sold on Chasca. The character demo will be where I decide about her. I'll probably wait until we get some 5.3 Mavuika leaks to see how busted her constellations are before I do any rolling anyways. Glad we are getting some new areas, I'm really tired of the same 5 Natlan daily comissions at this point.
I really thought that new banner type was going to be rerun once a patch with national characters progressing in order. Like first one was Mondstadt, then next would be Liyue (Shenhe/Ganyu included), then Inazuma, etc etc. But they seem to have given up on that banner altogether. Wish they'd just make it a permanent rotation and switch it to blue wishes, that'd be ideal. I am fully aware they will never actually do that, though.
At least they dropped one of the fate points from the weapon banner, it used to be much much worse.
That's actually a pretty cool idea. At least then you know it'd be once a year and you could plan for it. Probably unlikely that they'd do it, but a cool idea nonetheless.
It's crazy to me that Lyney is on his 3rd banner appearance when Wrio and even Cloud Retainer haven't had a single rerun yet. Like who the fuck is pulling Lyney right now? Who starts the game and is like "Where is that pantyhose twink at, I NEED him!" Nevermind Shenhe and Ganyu's rerun black hole.
I'm really glad I C6'd Shenhe back when she first released with how they've treated reruns. Wish I'd have done the same for Cloud Retainer now, honestly. Watch them rerun Shenhe/Ganyu/Cloud Retainer alongside Mavuika and just destroy waifu players. It's extra crazy that they sold Shenhe/Ganyu outfits last lantern rite and never reran the characters so that you could use them.
*edit*
Looks like Xbox release is getting a platform exclusive glider: Well, exclusive for one patch. Everyone can get it the following patch supposedly?

Sounds like she has some issues and will probably rely heavily on future supports to boost her. Probably an easy skip at least for now.

Chasca is a skip, though not gonna lie, her traversal mechanic looks pretty damn good.
Gonna need to see what Maviuka will bring to my teams first, but most likely she'll be my next pull.

These translations are so confusing. Does this mean Pyro Traveler will already be C6 when we get them, or that we will have to access for everything needed to C6 them right away.
I'm guessing it's the latter, it would be to generous to give us a C6 character straight away. Maybe those items we get from max reputation of the Natlan tribes is for Pyro Traveler cons.
No idea what the VFX thing means.

Probably going to use those items we've been collecting from the 6 tribes to be able to activate all of the constellations immediately. That was my take on it. Maybe during an important story moment in a Captain Planet kind of way where each tribe imbues us with power as we ascend into C6 Pyro Traveler. I'm also assuming we are going to be forced to complete all of the tribes quests to fill out that parchment we've been given to forge our Ancient Name. Probably why HoYo has been giving out limited time extra Primos to urge people to complete them in a timely manner so you're not blocked from the archon quest when it hits in 5.3.

*edit* Now that I've been thinking about it a bit more, what if C6 doesn't work like it does for the rest of the characters, and you toggle one of the constellations on and it does a different buff for each one. So like C1 might be the Water Tribe constellation, and when you enable it, Pyro Traveler's kit might buff Vaporize damage. C2 might be Scions of the Canopy and buffs Burgeon or Burn. But you can only have 1 active at a time? Might be interesting.
Just my own personal guess on the VFX thing, but it almost sounds like we turn into a dragon or another form entirely for the Traveler's kit. Goes in line with what we've been doing in Natlan the whole time when we meld into various Saurians. They've got to pay off that plot point that everybody has just accepted and mostly doesn't think about anymore, but it's fucking weird, even by the game's dialogue standard when we first got to Natlan.
I saw a post a while ago comparing all of the traversal options, and Chasca goes the furthest and fastest, not even just in Natlan. So yea if you need that kind of Traversal, she looks to be the best.
I still prefer C2 Cloud Retainer though. Short cooldown, two uses, and the animation is fast. It works well for horizontal and vertical traversal. Can't float over water though.

I do like Chascas flying gun or whatever it is, but I have to save for Mav, no way I’ll be able to get her if I don’t. I have enough currently if I win the 50/50, so that’s nice. My luck in Genshin has generally been very good, so here’s hoping.
Edit
Random thought but, I think it’s time to put Shenhe on the standard banner.

I feel like MHY has been on such a good streak with its latest characters, that it's hard to imagine that Citlali would end up disappointing when her kit sounds that useful. Anything's possible though. Those Mavuika leaks are completely useless though.
I'm looking forward to the new Inazuma character. I suppose Chiori technically counts as Inazuman, but she's fully integrated in Fontaine so she lacked that vibe despite her design.
5.3 should also see another batch of artifact sets. I saw some leaks for that, but I forgot to save them. Something about off-field characters increasing ATK for the entire team. It's probably too early for accurate leaks anyway.

Eww, what are those?! I was hoping I'd finally get some Lynette cons, but of course now they decide to drop that pattern. No real synergy between these characters either. Horrible. I better get Chasca quick.

If they didn't do any kind of drip marketing this week, then it's very likely they're going to do it during The Game Awards show, which is scheduled to be held in like 3 weeks.
And TBH, patch 5.3 will definitely going to be big, since the Natlan Archon Quest will be coming to an end with Mavuika & Pyro Traveler release, and there's also the annual Lantern Rite event happening in the second half, in which we're likely going to get another Liyue character during that time (perhaps the devs going to give it for free this time, regardless their rarity, lol).

I think this already sounds a lot better than the initial leak. The Shogun ring is basically mandatory. Everyone expected Mavuika to be able to support Mualani and Kinich, so it's good they anticipated that. Mavuika is mostly intended to be used as an on-field DPS though. She requires Natlan units to support her, but that shouldn't be an issue. Xilonen exists and Citlali seems to be focused on Melt, so they'll pair nicely too. Two Night Soul sources should suffice, or slot in another future character.
In other news, Pyro Traveler is called "Pyro Xingqiu" which sounds super useful. There's also a new 4-star Liyue loli character called Lanyan who I assume will also release in 5.3 for Lantern Rite. Supposedly she's an Anemo shielder. No new area in 5.3 though, which is understandable I guess.
Overall I'm quite optimistic about this line-up. It's just that 5.3 will be pretty rough on the primos.

Wow, so since I haven’t been pulling for Natlan characters I won’t be able to use Mav effectively?
lol, give me excuses to play other games more.
I was already starting to check out because Natlan hasn’t been that great, coming from the spectacle that was Fontaine, it’s been rather boring to explore and now the 1 character I was looking forward to will be nerfed on my account?
Great.
ZZZ could likely become my main game.

Normal attacks also charge her burst. She can work with non Natlan crew but it will charge slower since Natlan characters can normal attack plus use nightsoul.
She probably has a constellation that makes it easier to gain stacks like Furina C2.
Surprisingly general use friendly weapon.
Mavuika on her bike.
*edit*
Woops I missed the 2nd page on Mavuika's kit. Yup C1 increases stack generation.
