i'm not hearing it
doesn't sound australian to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well don't forget that they'll both be available the entire patch, starting in 5.3. So you have the whole patch to think about one or both or niether.
Yeah, same for that mechanical worm that was in the previous one. Those are all about RNG. Not fun.
To be expected really. She was absolutely cracked before, whereas now she's about on Arle's level. Maybe they'll buff her slightly in the coming weeks. I'm more surprised they nerfed Citlali too. Less damage, pretty mediocre shield. Sure, her supportive abilities are powerful, but you'd expect them to tune her up a bit to compete with Mavuika.
True, but to get any kind of crazy numbers above standard, you really need Xilonen for Mav. But I guess the same is true for any DPS with a custom tailored 5* support. I still am a little upset that they're fucking her off-field application. I almost prefer Archons having unique off-field gimmicks that make them virtually future proof. Mav will undoubtedly get powercrept as a DPS before the game is over and then what does she have? They should have given her "out of Natlan" phlogiston or at least enabled the Natlan quickswap when she's in the team, outside of Natlan. Then she could have been the de-facto Traversal Archon and had something unique to her for the length of the game.

All characters are balanced to be used with strong supports like Bennett, Kazuha etc. I don't see this any differently.
I agree. Hopefully they buff her off-field performance so she's a bit more future-proof.
New 5.3 world boss theme song. It's pretty damn good.
*edit*
Nilou official birthday art:
Genshin's always had some out of place tech, like cameras, guns, Inazuma had a nuclear reactor that exploded etc. But from Sumeru on they were introduced rapidly and got more advanced and thus obvious. The Akasha system was like a DBZ scouter connected to the internet. The Fatui built a robot for Scara to pilot. Obviously Fontaine has a bunch of robots and things. It doesn't make sense that Mondstadt and Liyue never had access to these things from a lore perspective. So that progression was always questionable from a world-building perspective, but people wen't along with it anyway.
Fontaine was fine but Natlan feels really odd because their tech is incredibly inconsistent and their society doesn't even look like they incorporate them into their lives. Just weird
I'd say the Inazuma reactor was more magic thing that ran amuck than technology technology. It was a fancy furnace.
Outside of guns, there hasn't really been any other advanced weapon tech that I can think of. Do we see any non-vision users use guns? (honest question).
I'm sure there's all kinds of lore and stuff in the game to neatly explain why tech is nation dependent, but I still find it rather flimsy.
It's heavily implied in the Roses and Muskets event that regular people can use guns too, although I don't think that's shown on screen.
Would be cool if that guy's a Saurian tamer.Few new playable character ID leaks:
Ayato, Ayaka, Ayano. Real creative with those "not-Japan" names, aren't we HoYo?
Ifa is the saurian vet guy that was mentioned in a few quests, he's listed in the way that 4*s usually are. Looks like this:
Hopefully ??? is Sumeru Mummy girl or Fontaine goth jailer girl.
Tighnari's character quest was about a guy that broke the rules and the scara robot tech showed others broke the rules too. They kept the good stuff for themselves and squashed anyone that wasn't in their club.
That guy in Tighnari's quest was hiding in a cave, and no-one found him. You're telling me people can't just go to Fontaine and secretly do their research there? Who's gonna know, let alone 'squash' them? How can they keep the 'good stuff' for themselves when Fontaine eclipses them in every way possible? Did Sumerians just not know about Fontaine's tech? How is that explained?
I'd say it's rather the other way around. Khaenri'ah got too powerful so the gods crushed them before they could be challenged.
Fontaine's power source is never explained in that much detail, so who knows. You'd think swarms of researchers from Sumeru and Natlan would go there to figure out if they could harness that power for themselves or somehow replicate it for their own energy sources. They both have reasons to do that. But I guess we're just supposed to accept that each nation has their own unique macguffin that the other nations have no interest in.
There you go. Either the robot developers are either hiding in caves or part of the scara robot club. Not widespread.
There you go. If tech becomes too advanced, the civilization goes away.
Fontaine's power source was generated by their archon and was under lock and key. That's what lead to the first Ace Attorney quest for the Fatui to try and get access to it.
That makes no sense. An academy that pursues knowledge and has tons of researchers suddenly has limited interest in their neighboring countries that have more advanced tech than them. It's just not believable. Especially with the Akasha system which was supposed to contain as much info as possible.
Well that's just a theory. People in Teyvat don't seem afraid of technology. No one talks about that at all.
The power source, yeah, but not its robots or other tech. They could bring that stuff and find a way to make it work with Phlogiston to help fight the Abyss for example. Kameras are Fontaine tech and they're widespread in Teyvat, so they're capable of creating tech that doesn't rely on Fontaine's power sources. Heck, Inazuma's furnace was made by a guy from Fontaine, so that kind of collaboration does happen and should be more common (or explained why it isn't).
MHY gonna regret that they'll miss out on all that dough. I haven't seen many positive reactions to her kit online, but I'm not sure if China/Japan don't mind it as much.
Yeah, that was neat. Wish it had gone on a bit longer with perhaps some more elaborate puzzles.
That's cool. Might have to check it out on youtube.
I was pretty disappointed with this event. Last year around this time we had the Roses and Muskets event which was much more fleshed out and had a better story, minigames and character introduction(s). Maybe things just lined up differently back then, but in comparison this event is really lacking.
Is this thread cursed or something? So many active members here end up getting banned. Who's next? He'll be sorely missed in any case.
Well it's really only the hyper-savvy fans that have any idea what her kit is at this point, the huge (spending) playerbase just knows she has a sick ass art on a motorcycle. People that follow the game closely enough to be mindful of kits and leaks are probably a tiny section of the playerbase. I don't think her banner will disappoint financially for HoYo, but I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed once they get their hands on her. Maybe not, maybe that type of gameplay is perfect for your average Genshin player. Guess we'll find out.
Man 4* Iansan is kinda a kick to the nuts for you. Hopefully this means she has a shot at being free from Natlan shenanigans as you hoped. I didn't notice until doing the recent archon quest, where she has more screen time, but she is wearing a fucking virgin killer sweater, lol.
Agreed, they wasted a great area by making it mostly empty and quickly passed through. I even expected we'd see a Oh shit the floating lab is blowing up, we gotta have Trial Chasca fly us out on her gun amidst exploding stuff through the phlogiston rings. Missed opportunity there, considering we'll likely never return or see it again.
Roses and Muskets was one of the best events we've gotten in a long, long time though. Hell that sniper minigame alone was better than most events we got in the past year. This event was standard/disappointing from an interactivity level, but at least the character moments were above the last few Natlan events. I wonder where the 'patch event' budget went in Natlan. Maybe they funneled more funds into the Archon quests, which were vastly improved in my opinion. Just talking about quality, length, writing, dynamics, not the subjective bits of if you like the Natlan story better or whatever.
Well for better or worse, it's not this thread killing anybody, it's mostly politics or crossing the line in a news/world event thread.
I suppose, but with HoYo's budget and art team, it's not like they would have had to make it look like a 2011 CGI face. I'm just curious what the Curse of Immortality looks like. Is it zombie, is it a melted face, just a skull, etc.
Pretty good build. Always room to min/max artifacts but up to you how much time you want to spend trying. Your hat can be any set so it's easier to strive for more than 2.7% CR.I pulled for Neuvi's weapon and got Zhongli's spear shoved up my ass. Did get it after few more pulls though.
Now going to build Neuvi properly. This is what I have now. Tell me what all stats should be improved and what is a decent range to aim for.
Ooof, what the hell were they thinking with Zhongli's weapon it's not even good for him, or anyone really.
This is already quite good but if you wanted to min max some more you could aim for more crit rate, maybe around 45%.Now going to build Neuvi properly. This is what I have now. Tell me what all stats should be improved and what is a decent range to aim for.

Your build looks awesome. I am sure I can't reach that level but I really like Neuvi so want to build him properly. Probably will pull for his C2 as well.
He's still a top DPS but not the dominant monster that he is at C1R1. His aoe is really good, and despite the HP drain mechanics he is one the tankiest characters in the game due to his self healing.
Hah! Kind of a waste on her y'know.
I think we're shifting to nations becoming kind of stand-alone. Natlan already had things like Nightsoul Burst from the start. I personally don't really have a problem with it. Anything beats the standard Bennett, Kazuha, Xiangling, Xingqiu slop we've been fed for over 4 years.Was watching a video on Mavuika and it dawned on me that since she doesn't use energy they could have made energy particles generate fighting spirit for her. That would help make her less reliant on Xilonen and Natlan characters in general. It would also make Energy Recharge not a dead stat on her.
It's so obvious that I'm sure they must of thought of it but opted not to do it.
Yea Collei got one too, so they're just putting them on the wrong girls. We need Shenhe or Chlorinde.
If that's the case, they really should do the archons in patch X.0 then. What's the point of regional specialty characters when everything is already done in that nation except misc chest farming and a random seasonal event. It really annoys me that Phlogiston doesn't work in event domains in Natlan.

if they made particles give fighting spirit, it would just be Energy in the way that it currently works.

Also
I don't mind the mechanic, I mind the activation method and forced team compositions.
Looks like they smoothed out Mavuika's animations in v.5 beta and added a second bar so you can see how much water/flight time you have.
It looks so good until the mounted attacks start, then they instantly lose me.
