Genshinbros... Dehya's story quest was the best in a long time and the best in Sumeru. It hurts so much more now that she's so bad

She's also the best character in the Archon storyline. It's unbearable that she's shit while unlikeable characters like Scaradouch and Alhaithem are top tier.
I like Al because he's literally me but agree on Wanderer
Wanderer is an average character. You can make him work but unless you have C6 Faruzan he wont feel powerful (and at that point Xiao is a better option)
He's fun if you really like normal attacker spam and are possibly okay putting on a shield which is why I was guaranteed to like him after playing Yoimiya for a year, but I don't know why anybody would get angry over him being "top tier" unless they really care about exploration skills (and even then I see a lot of people just immediately say they're going to keep using Kazuha anyway).
I'm partial towards Alhaitham since he's very clearly "Mihoyo played Three Houses and just wanted Male Byleth", but yeah he feels very underutilized, and I'll never roll for males either.
I would ask for Female Byleth, but I guess that's technically just Sara.
>I'll never roll for males either.
How insecure in your sexuality are you?
I play this game to collect cute hags.
Males do not count as hags. No, not even John "canon gender bender" Lee.
This game must be very boring for you since we get like 2 hags a year now and both recent ones are two of the worst characters in the game, as well as hags always being shafted in events.
he just doesn't want to waste his gems when there is waifu to be pulled, birdbrain
>She's also the best character in the Archon storyline
lol, how so? Because she's sexy? Retard coomer will confuse a cardboard cutout with a character
>character releases usually filled with at least some people messing with the character in multiple teams
>dehya done with that absurdly fast as people quickly realize she's terrible everywhere
Dehya had the fastest excitement to disappointment cycle and I hope no other character I like ends up as bad.
Everyone knew she was bad before her official release though, only a couple of people on maximum copium refused to believe it
dehya mains according to /gig/
these are made for every single character release and get lazier every time
Still feels good that I rolled for Eula, c3'd her and got her weapon all with my saved 20k primos.
She's still my wife and I always love her no matter how "bad" she is.
>Genshin "lore" goes over my head 99% of the time
It's not just me, right? I feel like I have to have a wiki open just to understand what the fuck these people are babbling about constantly. As if I knew who the fuck these witches are or why they matter.
At least you knew the big 3 right? (Alice, Rhinnedottir and Barbeloth)
I know about Alice because Klee never shuts the fuck up about her. Rhinedottir was obvious from the cutscene. As for Barbeloth I don't even remember the name.
You know who Alice is, the table is her circle of witch friends that's all, one of them is Mona's master, one is the crazy Khaenrian one that created all those abyss monsters and Albedo, one is the new NPC girl's
devs did the Dark Souls thing where they spread out the lore in 8000 different places, in random menus, item descriptions, etc, not yer fault... watch some lore vids on YT, there is a lot of shit they hid away
(skip the ones that sound like lispy fags or chuds)
I can follow it in broad strokes but I'm always forgetting names. A name like Alice is easy to remember, but sadly she's in a minority and a lot of major lore characters have long fantasy names. I especially struggled in Ekanomiya because everyone had a Japanese and Latin name.
You don't have to remember the names of anyone from Enkanomiya, you only have to remember some of the things they say.
Enkanomiya is long dead, only thing you had to remember was Kokomi is snake peoples (and ought to have been killed (by Raiden))
If she's a snake, why does she dress like a fish?
she's bi
I think you mean Raiden ought to have been killed by Kokomi.
Raiden is a God of Thunder.
Kokomi is just a snake chud with furry general.
Raiden is a villain
Kokomi is a good guy
Good should triumph over evil
>should
perhaps, but won't
In any sane story, she would have been killed and or replaced and a new archon put in charge, but what we got was Uguu dango neet, what trash.
We left Inazuma as the same dumpster fire it was.
Genshin is a great example of how a good story is unnecessary in games to succeed.
>she would have been killed and or replaced and a new archon put in charge
By who?
Imagine if Hitler had superpowers and could cleave Germany in two if he wanted to. Noone overthrew him before, when he had no superpowers, so what fucking hope would there be if he did.
idk, but gods have died before and archons have been replaced, they are not immortal
Sounds pretty hopeful to me.
That's exactly what I thought was going to happen and I'm still pissed we didn't get it. I put the blame solely on waifu fags who would burn mihoyo offices down if Ei ever got her comeuppance.
And who is the new archon going to be? Consider that this is the God of the region position who's supposed to protect the people in case of God level calamities happen, not some shitty king or lordship position, who is up to the task?
I liked the idea that was going around before about Yae beings the real archon and Shogun being kagemusha for her and not Ei.
So I supposeYyae could replace her, but you'd be changing everything by that point so why not just add a new characters who could be written specifically to replace Raiden.
Give Kokomi actual power?
lmao
Kokomi would get slaughtered by any godly threat.
That's what I mean by giving her power she can get killed by Shogun in style.
Yae shogun woulda been great, and I'm not just saying that because I've got C2 R1 Yae haha. Yae is much more interesting than Ei or her robot (I rolled Ei to battery Yae, and because I like the robot more than the real deal and the robot is who you play), but they'd have to give Yae a new outfit if she became shogun and they only give new outfits out for "free" as censorship. They already censored Yae once, and I was tempted to quit right there since she's my favorite after Lisa.
>have C2R1 Raiden and C0R1 Yae
>Yae would be higher constellation if she had more convenient reruns simply because I really really enjoy the bitchy fox more
I get it.
She's quite the fox~
I still find it amusing that there were "people" acting all upset because she was "mean", I've loved every second of her screentime and have no idea how anyone could hate her. A character that's allowed to have a personality that isn't just "I love you tabibito!" or "I love work!" is refreshing. Lovely JP VA too, Lisa still has my favorite VA but Yae is pretty close.
I'm pretty sure people hate her not because she's mean, but because her entire fucking shtick is to allow shit that she's responsible for to go completely to hell, sit on her ass & wait for someone else to resolve it for her, and then smugly go "heh, just as planned" as if she orchestrated the whole thing.
And she just. Keeps. Doing it. Paddle Lady being the latest example.
>Paddle Lady
whom?
the last pokemon event?
I think he's talking about the Youkai event
0h, okay, the ghost "girl"
She cute.
In her quest she knew the brothers were shysters from the start, and she lets tabibito handle things because she knows she can intervene if it turns out this extraterrestrial god like entity is going to job. Elaborate on Paddle Lady and how Yae shirks her responsibilities (keep in mind she's the head shrine maiden not the fucking shogun).
>Kokomi is a good guy
Use is also a furry lady then.
I mean Yae.
no tail, it's cool
As soon as you ask me to remember anything from artifacts you've lost me.
Got her and her weapon, with no cons and no refines. Will use her for long time because everything works for overworld and for bosses, and i dont care about 3,75 worth of rolls / 2 weeks from the abyss.

What happened to not caring about meta and only pulling for your favorites?
>not caring about meta

>at least she's closer to usable
What if the characters you like are meta?
rolling for men is fucking gay. you literally might as well just start sucking off mad dudes at a trucker stop if you're going to roll for a male.
It is canon that all the females fuck some of the males in the game so no matter what the girls won't be yours either.
Everyone look at this repressed homosexual and laugh. Talking about sucking off men for no reason when no one mentioned men anywhere
I rolled for my self-insert Alakazam (hetero)
You are trans.
Lumine is the Abyss Princess, Aether is the hero.
This.
I picked Loom, cause she cute, but after plaything the main quests, I had to start another account as the canon MC. Loom as MC was gay af.
I think you're autistic.
I think you are delusional.
People who get caught up by minor arbitrary details and swear by them as absolutely correct are autists. You don't just have a preference, you actually believe your opinion to be objectively correct.
Yes, canon MC is canon.
Her kit is neither fun nor functional, there's rolling for meta and then there's rolling for gameplay
She functions perfectly fine in a Burgeon/Overload team and doesn't require a c6 Thoma with 200% ER to consistently keep his shield up to do the same thing.
It's pretty much the only team where she adds value.
Team comp?
who do you use?
Ayato/Kuki/Dehya/Nahida
Every team cope with her is cope, but at least she has a place in it. Just use sacrificial greatsword to guarantee her skill duration. There's no other pyro unit that has 100% uptime on their off-field proc for burgeon.
>Ayato/Kuki/Dehya/Nahida
damn, don't have any of them
I do use that team but it's very cope tier, her application is way too slow and the skill doesn't last long enough until C2
But I did pull for my favorite?
My favorites don't clear floor 12 unfortunately.
gonna need a quote for that one
There's not caring about meta, and there's being punished with a handicap because your favorite character gets outperformed by a 4 star you get for free
I rolled for her but using her in my team just makes the game harder
She works in the overworld at least. You just have to build up her EM. She's not GREAT, but she's no worse than Xinyan.
cost of units have no bearing on their performance
only 1150/1200 Gems every 2 Weeks
>What happened to not caring about meta and only pulling for your favorites?
Nothing. I got C1 and use a R5 BP weapon and she works fine if you treat her as an off field Raiden tier character that does damage from off field and shows up last to punch stuff into the dirt.
If you pair her with Cyno and Cookie, it's fun times.
She's also probably gonna get buffs later as well. Not every character has to be the next best thing in abyss but hotpockets turbo autists can't into having fun outside of seeing big numbers on screen or being part of the "meta".
I want to get her C2 because I know I will never see her again.
I new her kit is dysfunctional and pulled her anyway because I like her.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer if she actually worked or that I won't shit on MHY for designing her wrong on purpose.
I think both Venti and Makoto were created by Istaroth.
Who created Rhukkadevata?
I dunno if she's the same as the other two, but I do believe that she had some connection to Istaroth as well. Maybe they were friends, maybe they were related.
The reason I think Makoto's similar to Venti is because of their suHispaniciously similar origins. They're both natural phenomena that spontaneously came to life in order to protect humans. Ei's theory that Istaroth helped Makoto create the Sacred Sakura also suggests to me that they were connected to each other from the start. Venti and Makoto may have both been Istaroth's agents to protect humans during the Archon War.
I haven't seen much evidence of Istaroth's involvement in Sumeru, but it wouldn't necessarily surprise me if it turned out that they were connected. In cultural studies, it's been suggested that Anahita is the Iranian equivalent of Inanna/Ishtar, so I dunno. Maybe Rukkhadevata named Nahida in honor of Istaroth or something.
Surely Istaroth must connected to Irminsul somehow, which is probably how Rhukkadevata came to be somehow
We don't know. We don't even know how the Irminsul is connected to the Heavenly Principles.
Now that I think about it, the statue could be a representation of Istaroth?
There are theories concerning that, but it's hard to say. The statue itself is just a black hole of lore. We don't even fucking know who sculpted it. We don't know whose idea it was. It wasn't Ei's idea because Ei hasn't been involved in anything for like 400+ years. And I have a hard time believing that the Shogun, a character who has thus far been wholly devoid of any sense of creativity or initiative, would actually go "Let's build a large divine statue and stick everyone's Visions on it". Like does that really seem like something Shogun would come up with?
Details concerning the statue are SO FUCKING SPARSE that we don't even know when it was created. Like seriously, no one has ever said anything about it. For all we know, it might have been around for decades, even centuries, far predating the Vision Hunt Decree which only started a year back.
After some reading...
Things worth of note about the statue: It looks like the blessing of the Welkin Moon, the statue's pendant looks like an eye of the storm
The eye of the storm links the statue to the Time and Wind quest, and so to Istaroth. Raiden knows Istaroth is real and a benevolent force, so its at least plausible that she would choose the goddess to hold her ideals of eternity
Like I said, the problem is Ei hasn't been a part of anything for over 400 years. It's worth pointing out that neither Ei NOR the Shogun were the ones who came up with the Vision Hunt Decree in the first place. They were not the masterminds, they just gave it their tacit approval after SOMEONE ELSE came up with it. So if neither Ei nor Shogun came up with the Vision Hunt Decree, it seems straight up odd to me that they would come up with the bizarrely romantic idea of inlaying a hundred Visions onto it.
Honestly? Given the weathering on the statue, it sort of leads me to believe that the statue might actually be far, far older than just one year old.
Are you sure the vision hunt decree wasn't Raiden/Ei's idea? Who came up with it then?
>far older than just one year old.
If you look at the base of the statue, it's quite damaged. Also, the pillar itself reminds me of a ionic column so we have a greek reference there. That leads us to Enkanomiya ,which is geographically close to Narukami (in fact, it spreads beneath it)
The Vision Hunt Decree was something that Pierro of the Fatui Harbingers came up with 400 years prior to the game's events. He laid down the foundations of the plan that far ahead, and only started putting it into action the past year. The Harbingers colluded with the corrupt heads of the Kujou and Hiiragi Clans of the Tri-Commission to get the plan underway. The Kamisato Clan who headed the third member of the Tri-Commission voiced their objections to the plan, but the two other clans vetoed them through democratic vote, and thus the plan went to the Shogun. As the Shogun saw that the Vision Hunt Decree did not obstruct her directives to pursue Eternity, she gave it the go-ahead.
Basically, the Vision Hunt Decree was designed by the Fatui for the past 400 years and it was put into action by 2/3rds of the Tri-Commission.
playable Kiana WHEN
Well on the bright side Dehya being shit has allowed me to save for the next character I want. Which means absolutely nothing to me because I have nobody I'm looking forward to.
Restrained reminder
Unchained Melody
sex with flat girls
all the mods trying to make her 'thicc' make her less sexy
wtf is a 'fatui delusion' MC said it to kokomi like I'm supposed to know what the heck that means, did I tap through some dialogue too fast earlier or miss some event that explained this because the game is implying I should know what this means I don't
How does one learn to speedread this hard?
Speedreading is forgiven for Genshin Impact because 99.9% of the dialogue is padded trivial nonsense.
They were kinda explained in sangonomiya part of the archon quests.
They are fatui version of visions but their use comes with heavy toll on body or something. Thats why childe could use both hydro and electro powers in his fight, one from vision and one from delusion.
I saw in the bit talking to teppei where that was explained; but did childe ever say that was the reason he could use both electricity and water? I do vaugely recall one of his stages in the boss battle being called something delusion but not any dialogue talking about what a 'delusion' was; just the bit afterwards with signora and zhongli reveal and talking about the gnosis or whatever
I will be honest, at this point I dont know from where this knowledge comes.
The way i get it is his first phase is hydro vision, second is electro delusion, and last is his abyss art that he got from some woman studying the abyss.
But from where this is, i dont know, havent done all the quests, maybe got it from some snippet from the wiki. But delusions themselves were mentioned in the story.
I hope Nahida holds an Archon get together soon and invites the traveler as well.
>Black character
>She's shit
You know sometimes I forget Hoyoverse is Chinese, but then it just hits and everything makes sense
If they were simply racist there would be no reason to make her a 5*, give her a good story quest and a sizeable chunk of appearances in archon quests, they can simply make her 4* and sideline her. That"theory" doesn't hold up
How does Honkai fit with Genshin? I heard they're meant to take place in the same setting, but I know absolutely nothing about Honkai or its lore. Is there anything from it that could impact Genshin's story?
If there are any meaningful direct connections between the two they have yet to be revealed.
Zero relation other than a few cameos
Increasingly less. Honkai went completely off the rails and it's become increasingly apparent that they're probably not actually putting much thought into connecting the two worlds. The early Dvalin cameo might have just been an easter egg that wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
Everyone assumed that the endgame to Genshin would connect it to Honkai, and there were a lot of theories early on about where Genshin fits into Honkai's universe, but then Honkai just decided "Fuck theorists" and started contradicting earlier assumptions people had about Honkai's setting.
Genshin takes place in the Honkai universe, think of it like Tsubasa Chronicles and Card Captor Sakura
It doesn't. Anyone trying to convince you otherwise is some SEAmoron Honkek trying to cope with his game's ever decreasing relevancy
genshin is a simulation contained within the global honkaiverse
the unknown goddess from genshin is a herrscher and paimon is her minion
>dorky dead father
>rebellious daughter
why am i so weak to such a cliche story
I think I'm in love with Dehya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmYko2bWjnI
Was the Statue of the Omnipresent God a red herring? I thought it was supposed to be something big but nothing really happened other than all the visions activating during the fight
I don't think mihoyo put much thought or effort into Inazuma's story and all of it can probably be ignored going forward
Inazuma's history was rewritten so now the statue is nothing more than a tribute to Makoto's memory. The lack of boobs makes it clear.
Sumeru promised picrel and so far nothing.
It didn't promise anything, that was just Collei's dream
>she's worse than most 4*s
>here i am not being able to 36* abyss with those 4*s unless they're backed by the absolute most broken 5* supports
its basically either give her those supports, or give it to the 4*s
she's bad, bugged to hell and back even. but at the very least her mitigation/self heal/poise works to the point she can tank through all the triple maguu kenki ultis by herself. cant say the same for those 4*s unless papa zhong is there to carry
You know why it was so good? Because it focused on her instead of some nobody
Like fucking finally a character story quest about the fucking character in question
This is what free to play looks like. Playing on again off again since release.
Dehya whole kit is weird. her E skill fits more in a MMO or a turn based RPG.
In this game she feels like a early free character that sucks but you have to use her because is the only defensive character available
this game makes me feel like I have alzheimers or amnesia or something
when the hell did I meet raiden shogun, or 'ei' other than at the ceremony with that weird bossfight that suddenly just ends with a cutscene (Im assuming it was supposed to be a scripted loss? she took very little damage, I was dodging around and very slowly whittling her down after all my powers were disabled but then the fight just suddenly ended with a cutscene)
yes, it was scripted loss fight, do;t worry Inazuma archon quest became way more retarded
people blame it on Covid
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok, so that 'boss arena' was the thing inside her mind, and the version in there was the 'real' one while the 'one outside walking around and building statues and shit' was just like... autopilot or something
huh, what a... non-twist? idk mang lmao I just thought it was a boss arena because it'd be awkward to have the fight on the little platform thing next to the statue because it'd be awkward if someone fell up or they'd have to put up a barrier and make it annoyingly tight and small to fight on
ah ok so 'delusion unleashed' was actually talking about him activating his electro trinket, and not just some 'cool sounding boss title' or reference to him being overconfident that he would win or something
on that note, are all of the random fatui soldiers also using delusions or something since visions are supposed to be pretty rare but the fatui seems to have entire divisions of thunderhammer, ice and water sprayer, anemo fist, fire rifle, and all those wizard chicks etc... and some of their lines are kinda... "you can't run, well neither can I", "can't run from debt" etc... sounding like they don't particularly want to be there either (penal legions or something) altho on the other hand the fat water and ice sprayer dudes and the wizard girls seem to have having a great time
Well, Ei destroyed her body and placed her mind into the statue that the Raiden Shogun carries inside herself. The Shogun (physical form) is a perfect puppet
>Mine is the most supreme and noble form
Inside the sword
The raiden shogun and ei are two different entities. Just like how in the beginning ei and makoto were two different entities.
The raiden shogun is the body and essentially administrates inazuma and can do so forever.
Ei however being an archon will eventually succumb to erosion. Erosion is what zhongli and azdaha are suffering from. As far as we know it's like dementia or rabies where you just go mad.
Knowing this Ei destroyed her body (again, but don't worry about that) and placed her consciousness inside of her sword (actually her sisters sword) then placed her sword into the raiden shogun.
Before the archon quest ei would not use the raiden shogun's body but after she shares it with her.
Inazuma was pretty shit in terms of archon quest though. It does have very good story quests and character quests though.
Raiden shogun's character quests are very very good.
When Thoma was captured, the ceremony to mark the 100th vision taken. Traveler meets the Raiden Shogun there and when he attacks her, Ei brings him to the Plane of Euthymia, inside her mind.
It's impossible to defeat her at that time because, for storytelling purposes, she's invincible
Wait for Fontaine. Yae was also shit and Dehya, being a standard character, is meant to be played with several constellations.
>fan start schizo-ing headcanon because the devs couldn't give enough of a fuck to write the story
It's like I'm in the elden ring thread
Why are people apologetic about Genshin and FF14 padding playtime behind dialogue? You could remove almost all of it with no difference to characterization or story beats and it would only improve the quality of gameplay. It absolutely doesn't respect your time. These aren't quests it's an unskippable episode of the most boring anime you've watched this year but you have to click through it. Then you relive this boring anime for almost every quest in the game. Post-Monstadt story in Genshin has been mostly terrible. Chasm and Itto in general were some of the few quests which had some enjoyable writing to excuse the time consuming dialogue. Itto being GTO-copypasted helps. One of the first long quests with some acceptable writing in Sumeru with Jeht didn't even have spoken dialogue. Even so there's too much dialogue and not letting people skip it even though most people are skipping anyways is just proof that since Liyue hoyoverse have padded playtime with dialogue. Inazuma being the most egregious example of wasting your time with small talk
>I don't like 95% of the game
Why keep playin?
nta, but dialog isn't gameplay
Yes and? Dialogue is 95% of the game. Story quests, archon quests, world quests. All of that is dialogue. Why would you play a game with visual novel amount of dialogue for world building if you don't like it instead of, I don't know Wild Heart or Factorio...etc
Why do people complain about story in an rpg?
i laughed at how it undercut the veteran sand merc image she tried to present for herself, and revealed her to be a pampered and privileged little poser. Just like how she was not a real sand merc, she was not a real 5 star.
>raiden is a villain
somebody isn't up to their lore it seems
>raiden should be killed
>ok by who
>well idk but she should :*~~
l to the mao
Raiden Shogun is arguably a villain. What with the villainous things she did. Stealing souls and whatnot. Both Ei and Shogun were antagonists at one point though, either way.
yer waifu is trash
yours too
nah
then mine isnt either
I like how people are justifying it by either being disingenuous and saying people only complain that she isn't meta or by saying that she had to be bad so people could have a chance to save for newer characters. You can especially tell the latter are women.
Probably obvious but those who bitch about how Raiden should pay for all she did very likely simp hard for Childe/Scaramouche/Dottore.
>Knows that the vision hunt is hurting people but doesn't care
>Knows that her country is in a civil war but doesn't care
>Knows the Fatui are manipulating events to weaken the country but doesn't care
>Only stops being a neet when Yae tells her to stop being retarded, not because of all the pain she's caused the people of Inazuma
Ei is a sociopath that needs to be put down like a rabid dog
going by those
venti and zhong also need to go
Venti goes to sleep for hundreds of years at a time for a reason we still dont know and only wakes up when mond is in need he doesnt enforce anything on them and zhong is pretty protective of liyue and before you bring up Osial he says he would have stepped in if things looked bad he just wanted the people to prove they didnt need a god anymore
Venti is absentee, he's not there most of the time and doesn't do shit, might as well not exist
John faked his death like a deadbeat father
they both already went
She should do the same
You do realize that that wouldn't actually solve anything right? If Raiden just fucked off, then the Hiiragi and Kujou Clans would still be in power.
Also, Venti was the one who freed Mondstadt from the Lawrence Clan and also killed Durin alongside Dvalin. Not only that, but Venti also slaughtered a bunch of Abyssal Beasts during the Cataclysm.
If she fucked off, the clans would fight as normal and sort it out themselves, she is THE problem of the archon quest, her fucking off solves it.
Imagine arguing for the necessity of a shitty god because the alternative might be an absence of a shitty god, stupid tard.
still lost it, and her hiding in her world had nothing to do with the gnosis so it's neither here nor there
No you twit. The Kujou and the Hiiragi were the ones who proposed and enforced the Vision Hunt Decree in the first place. Did you pay any attention whatsoever? Everything you've been saying is objectively wrong. You sped through Inazuma, paid attention to absolutely nothing, made up all sorts of bullshit and believe your own farts to be canon.
>it's never her fault
>pure innocent Ei
Garbage archon, failed leader, shitty mother, there is no end to her wretchedness.
Liters of your semen spilled in her name does not change her shite character, waifu-fag.
>shitty mother
Fujo hands typed this
>create sentient feeling being
>abandon them for having emotions
yes shitty
>them
She should have destroyed "it" as Yae suggested.
Based pro-choice Yae.
I wanna create life with Ei
He wasn't a baby he's a fully capable person even newly born, and she was about to enter hibernation mode for god knows how many hundred years so playing mother is clearly not an option
Her choices are either to put him down or set him out to get a job, or unless you're arguing that she should have gotten rid of him which I fully agree
probably get him a guardian or some such so he can be raised to be NOT a dangerous walking nuke who can be a danger to the land... like retards, think for a second
She wouldn't have done that. Part of the issue lies in the fact that the moment Balladeer showed signs of human emotion, Ei basically started categorizing him as human. Bear in mind that she never actually intended for him to have emotions, but when it turned out he did, Ei couldn't treat him as a tool anymore.
You can see this in the difference between how she treated Wanderer and how she treated Shogun. She considered Shogun to just be a tool, so she casually restricted Shogun's freedom and talked about reprogramming her. It was only at the end of her story quest when she started treating Shogun as a person.
>set him out to get a job,
Raiden left Scaradouche with quality robes in a beautiful domain and a feather as a sign that he belonged to the Shogunate and was to be treated as such.
He could have enjoyed the good life but nooo.
I dunno. I think that wouldn't have been a particularly happy life for Wanderer. One thing that's noted about Wanderer in his purest state is that he A) wants companionship and B) wants to be of use to others. But Ei's plan was to imprison herself forever and Shogun doesn't give a fuck, so A is out. And the reason Ei "set Wanderer free" is because she didn't want to define the course of his future, so even if she had him stick around, she would have just gone "You're awake now. Do whatever you want" without actually assigning a role for him. She wouldn't have given him the Gnosis because when she tried to install it into him, he cried. He's a machine without a function.
What would you rather she do? Have him just stand around doing nothing while she seals herself away in the Plane of Euthymia forever?
>What would you rather she do?
>ask for ideas from fans
>mock them because it's fan-fiction
fuck off cunt
It's good that you understand my open disdain for you and your brand of stupidity.
Fuck your inane mentality of defending shitty stories because the bitch gets you lard, usless gay.
>mother
I don't get why people take this meme so seriously. She didn't create the puppets to satisfy some misguided mother instinct or fanfic shit like that.
Because it's technically true. She created them. The puppets are sentient and have goals and objectives.
>If Raiden just fucked off, then the Hiiragi and Kujou Clans would still be in power.
Ayato's quest is all about him putting his Clan on top by exploiting the infighting and instability of the other two clans.
He wouldn't have been able to beat them without Raiden backing him. You have to understand that the reason the Kamisato Clan was shut down by the opposition for a whole year is because they were outnumbered 2-to-1. In the event of a power vacuum, the Hiiragi and Kujou Clan would be in a better position than the Kamisato Clan, especially if you consider that the Kujou Clan handles military matters.
In the event of Raiden's disappearance, another civil war is almost all but inevitable.
Additionally, Raiden is pretty much the only thing keeping the Abyss Order and the Fatui from doing whatever the fuck they want in Inazuma. Raiden was such a massive obstacle to the Harbingers' plans that Pierro spent 400 years devising a way to get her Gnosis.
Inazuma is supposed to have a whole political structure to deal with such issues. Why else do the 3 commissions exist?
The Archon only steps in when things have really gone to shit. Civil war? We have an army and diplomatic corps for that.
The heavens split and beasts from other dimensions descend? Oh shit, time to intervene.
It's honestly funny how so many gods keep getting blindsided by human corruption. It's almost cute how naive they all are. It apparently literally never entered their minds that humans could become corrupted.
They just don't get a fuck
Who does this apply to other than maybe Nahida who was newly born?
After defeating Decarabian and becoming the Anemo Archon, Barbatos was all "And now that humans are in charge, nothing could ever go wrong. I'm gonna sleep for a couple centuries." And then when he woke up he found that the aristocracy went mad with power and enslaved everyone. When Ei sealed herself into the Plane of Euthymia and programmed Shogun to be mostly passive, it never occurred to her that the Tri-Commission would eventually fall to corruption. Lo' and behold, 2/3rds of the Tri-Commission became corrupted by the present day.
>humans want their free will, they get it, then curses god when shit happens, which is also their own fault
Not my fucking problem
Archons are not babysitters. Well, they are, but only step in when Celestia gives the order. The rest of the time they are quiet if the society is functional.
And they are not really gods, just strong individuals aka battletards. Rukkhadevata was an exception but she had/was the fucking tree.
>just strong individuals
venti was quite literally, a small wind sprite
you don't know what gods are
nobody knows what they are because each one of them has different origins and the source of their power is still a mystery. and no, the gnosis isnt their power source
>she had/was the fucking tree
she was a single branch of the tree
The story has gaps, but it has been said the power of the archon resides in his followers. In any case, Venti removed the mountains around Mondstadt and threw them into the sea. The Golden Apple archipelago is a sign of the power of the anemo archon.
What does mentioning godly feats have to do with understanding how they got to the point of having those powers?
None of these things were a threat to eternity
>what if we kill Yae's best friend and make her archon lmao
>what if we give kokomi archon power lmao
Ganker is even more retarded than I previously expected

This patch is slow as fuck, been playing Honkai to catch up. Any news regarding Geo catgirl leaks?
I'm loving Yelan to catch up
She is dendro catgirl now
4* and dendro now. Yes, it's over.
>Geo is so shit they can't come up with any good function and just made her Dendro instead
I know it's too late to remove Geo but damn, what a pointless element
It could be way better if they'd just FUCKING MAKE CRYSTALLIZE DO SOMETHING USEFUL. FUCK.
I'm pretty sure that's not how it works anon...
>element is about muh shields
>every other element has their own shields
We could start by getting actual shield hp in the ui and other buffs with timers. As of now I'm not using shields even with John Lee because i dont know if the shield i have on me has 200 or 5k hp left
>get shield from crystalize
>for the duration of that shield the element the shield belongs to gets a X% dmg increase
Anything. Anthing to make it usable
iirc there's some leyline disorder (don't remember where I saw it) where pickup or creation of crystallize shards did some AoE damage, they could just have an artifact that does like...
>2p: geo +15%
>4p: crystallize shards don't give you a shield anymore but explode for (some damage calculation)
could be pretty hilarious if you're running some persistent off field aoe and then go into burst spin with noelle
she was never geo, leak trannies made it up and the rest went along with it
>Don't provide feedback to MHY regarding shitty/nonfunctional kits

Retard, you can literally see her geo vision in her old design.

also made up
anon...

cute kot
will get since 4 star
very good
This isn't a screenshot kind of leak. Mihoyo has a system that prevents leak, like using invisible pixels that contains a unique ID and shit so they know who leaked the stuff.
So the actual leaks are drawn by leakers, this is also a drawing. The leaker drew the geo vision because he thought she was geo
Where is she from?

Now add this.
I really hate genshin impact and it's fan base and their memes. I hope that game dies soon, and ofc genshin impact 2 will never exist or be sucessfull.
it's fine
Meh she works in my machine
We're getting a buff don't worry
bros please tell me she comes back and is pullable...
check back in 3 years
Maybe In 9.0 after we set computer tree on fire.
Inazuma according to leakers.
After sneedzaya and abyss arcs ~~*Celestia*~~ will bring Signora back to life as a mid-boss puppet to help fight the unified seven nations and abysschads but we'll use the power of friendship to save her then she'll get a banner and be playable.
>After sneedzaya and abyss arcs ~~*Celestia*~~ will bring Signora back to life as a mid-boss puppet to help fight the unified seven nations and abysschads but we'll use the power of friendship to KILL HER AGAIN when she is resurrected to fight us
lel she will be back on natlan as late
Is she really that, THAT bad?
Is Abyss important to you?
Then yes.
Otherwise, she's mid.
Yes. The devs actively hate her and wanted her to fail. Chinks think feminists at MHY are responsible somehow.
not feminists, but women hating fujo who want more males
I'm still not going to send in feedback to CS. She's the chinks designated toilet bowl
If you love her so much you should pull on the standard for her C6... they'll reply, haha
>this can happen again in the future to YOUR favorite character
Realistically this sort of thing could only happen to a hag. Hebes are the favored type of waifu and MHY would never let a 5* male be that bad.
Alhaitham is suprisingly cracked for a dendro dps and now we have Baizhu that contributes to hyperbloom and aggravate teams with healing. I believe it, a fujo game that is
Wtf went there to fap and Botwfags are trying to pin something they do on genshin lmao
Collei more like CUTEi
Ok so I just finished-ish (signora and raiden fights) inazuma, assuming it's just wrap-up dialogue from here on out
I'm confused as all hell, was there some finer nuance I missed out on or something I speedread thru because the the moment my understanding of the 'main plot' is as follows
1. inazuma suddenly does some meji era isolationism thing
2. foreigners aren't outright expelled but treated horribly and the govt officials are horribly corrupt
3. this vision hunt decree thing is effectively lobotomizing people
4. civil war
6. Conclusion: wow the shogun must be super evil or something
7. TWIST 1: oh the shogun is actually a proxy/bot or something because whatever deep meditation mental plane
8. TWIST 2: the fatui are actually in cahoots with the other govt entities withholding information about how bad things reall are to the shogun
9. TWIST 3: you fight signora, then talk to the shogun and she's like oh nah, I actually knew all that shit was going on idgaf 1v1 me fgt
10. you win so she's like OK, I still disagree with you and think what I was doing was right but I guess I'll abolish the vision hunt decree thing since you won because >japan >samurai >honor whatever
so uhhhhhhhhhhh was every single 'twist' a red herring essentially? she wasn't like 'oh shit! *THAT* was actually happening?' or 'alas I have wronged my poor subjects if only I had known better', it's just 'ok you won, guess I'll end the thing because if you 1v1 someone and lose you gotta do what they say or it's dishonobru'. she basically was the bad guy all along
I'm so confused did m night shamalyn guest author this chapter or something, the twist was literally that there was no twist, like halfway through the movie it's like suddenly "is this all a dream", and in the last 10 minutes it's like "nah it actually wasn't lmao everything was 100% as it looked initially.
inazume needs some sort of french revolution mass guillotining and kokomi should be the new empress what a fucking mess
Inazuma was rewritten very shortly before it was released.
Sumeru is significantly better
It's a bit of a mess.
The islands nice and have their own quests, those are nice.
As always, in JRPGs (well all RPGs) the side stories are the best ones, Genshin is no different.
I would have quit if the archon quests was the only story to tell.
>kokomi should be the new empress
You almost had me going there but I can tell your post was written by some lizard apologist
kokomi represents Korea/Okinawa, lesser people Nippon had to conquer, she is cute like Kpop is cute, but underneath, they are evil snake fags
RAIDEN SHOGUN BANZAI
kokomi and kokomi island are cute and seems to be the only island that isn't plagued by bandits or persistent environmental hazards which implies it's by far the best managed
yeah the side quests were pretty cool, I also have a bunch more to do before I leave like finishing up that whole tatara thing where it only gives you another quest the next day, also seirei island 'in general' and enkinomiya which I heard is really good
really the weirdest lasting impression from inazuma is that I was hype for raiden because even before playing this game I was somewhat familiar with the character and I was looking forward to her because I liked her design (also heard she's fucking excellent gameplay-wise), but the mainplot really... surprised me with her 'character'. like at first it was "ok she's going to be some i can fix her evil waifu" then it's hinting at "oh she doesn't even know all this bad shit is going on and would never let it happen so maybe she's going to be more of a sympathetic generic moeblob or whatever OK" but then the end result was just like she's... stubborn and irresponsible? not a villainous ruler or generic waifubait, just kind of like a.... peter principle bureaucrat. idk man, maybe this is someone's fetish and there's some jap term for it like tsunderes or yameto nakedeshi, but idk man
whatever lookin forward to pulling ayaka in a few days she was cool and I heard really fucking good, kokomi is super cute too but I read she's just a healer and I already have qiqi and as far as hydro is concerned I have xq so unless she happens to come out at some time in the distant future where I just have a massive pile of wishes sitting around and have everyone else I really want it's extremely unlikely I'll be getting her anytime soon
>persistent environmental hazards
Come back when you've done Enka
let us not forget the biggest jobber, biggest letdown, and the biggest boobs in Inazuma
>tfw will never get her to C6 so she finally becomes a niche support
Have all of those and don't use her, hyper carry comps are so gay
so fuckin confused as far as what they were trying to characterize her as
first encounter; she lets us escape with the prisoner because some of her subordinates were beating him and that's 'against the rules'... fine and all, except for the fact that we just killed a few dozen cops in our 'raid' on the precinct
next encounter; she challenges to us to some 'honor duel' to prevent a battle between the shogunate and rebel forces... in that duel we fight like... 3 or 4 enemies one at a time (you'd think a duel would be like a 1v1 vs her and the losing side retreats or something no?) and then she orders her little army to attack anyways after we win all the duels
regardless, it seems like her entire 'character arc' in the main quest is that
A. for whatever tragic backstory reasons that yae miko explains afterwards she was being a shitty leader
B. you challenge her to a 1v1 to lift the vision hunt decree, you win, she debates whatever and begrudgingly lifts the decree because you won and that was the 'agreement'
C. she presumably goes on to be an otherwise shitty/absentee figurehead and the corrupt commission leaders continue to effectively rule the country
the bubbles, flying jellyfish and big pink seashells and pearls make it all look very idyllic and dreamlike, also kokomi's character design is really cute
>C. she presumably goes on to be an otherwise shitty/absentee figurehead and the corrupt commission leaders continue to effectively rule the country
Do her second character quest
Just pretend there was a vast complex epic war story that actually happened off screen and you only got 5 minutes snippets of each, and that the whole thing took years.
Also that the devs were competent.
the loose threads get addressed in the various story quests afterwards, so it's not that bad
No. The entire purpose behind confronting Ei was to get her to actually look at her people and be more proactive in her leadership instead of locking herself away in the Plane of Euthymia while a hyper-passive yes-man of a robot just lets her commanders do whatever the fuck they want. The Archon Quest ends with two-thirds of the human-run Shogunate stripped of much of their power while Raiden is a more proactive leader. In fact, if you talk to various NPCs in the Tenshukaku, one of them talks about how uncharacteristically proactive Raiden's suddenly become.
ok fair enough, guess if that gets cleared up and elaborated in the story quests (which I haven't played because I literally just finished the main quest) then that's good I guess
just sayin that with the 'main quest alone' they did a pretty bad job of "selling" raiden, the fuckin archon, which was especially jarring considering how hard the sold yoimiya, ayaka and kokomi
Ayaka's quest is unironically the worst mandatory content in the entire game
No.
She cute.
Fuck off.
No.
She's a shit character.
Fuck off.
WRONG
I'm sorry you fell for the most generic waifubait character, anon. She has literally no personality and her quest is the single most boring thing ever put into Genshsin.
Ayaka's was 10x worse than both of those
>She has literally no personality and her quest is the single most boring thing ever put into Genshsin.
Just post Thoma x Ayaka shipping art to shut them up. They froth at the mouth at the sight of it and that's the only good that'll ever come out of the mouths of Ayakakeks.
We know you freaks have a raging hateboner against a character that has romantic interest with Traveler, no need to go on rambling and frothing about LE WRITING.
>, no need to go on rambling and frothing about LE WRITING
Nobody is going to deny that Inazuma's writing was fucking dogshit and forcing me to spend time with a braindead waifubait character isn't going to change my mind.
That's not how genshin fandom work though. They will sealclapping at every shipbait moment even if they're written atop a dung pile, but the moment there's a waifupandering moment they immediately go on ballsacking about le writing bad.
So is Yoimiya's quest, and Ayato's quest
You need to unlock Ayato's quest
Go to sleep Dawei. I'm pretty sure it's bedtime in Singapore.
I did Ayato's quest a year ago, it was a putrid pile of fat xiao's jizz
Ayato feels like Raider's quest if it was written competently. His quest hits most of the same beats as hers.
That makes zero fucking sense whatsoever, they have completely different personalities, positions and intents, and neither is a good quest
If you can ignore that his quest is more about a couple of NPCs sure. At least half of Raiden's first quest was about her.
The quest is about him. It shows that he's an "according to keikaku" type with a streak of silliness to him. Raiden's quest is just her fucking around in Inazuma that just suddenly jumps to a plot point that means nothing. I know Sara is Raiden's top carpet muncher, but the Kujou clan was basically powerless after that quest so why the fuck is she there?
>give bobaman his own quest
>nowhere to be found
what a waste
daytime in Sing
Honestly, the Archon Quest completely turned me off of those three. Like in the middle of this important civil war, you're making me deal with petty issues between two guys I don't give a shit about? After you gaslighted me into helping out with this civil war I wanted nothing to with, you're suddenly dancing in a puddle? Also, Kokomi just keeps doing dumb things but the story won't stop talking about how great a tactician she is.
Someone fucking explain to me what they were planning to accomplish by charging right up to Raiden's front door.
>charging right up to Raiden's front door.
they should have been slashed all in a row like a Tom & Jerry cartoon, the entire army
>hyper-passive yes-man of a robot just lets her commanders do whatever the fuck they want.
Shogunbot is extremely aggressive and rules with an iron fist. She has no compassion for those who go against eternity.
The other arms of the government know that the shogun(robot) will always win so they have no problems with the Fatui.
No. She's super passive. She basically just sits in her room doing bureaucratic duties and most of her interactions with the Tri-Commission involves either passing or vetoing their proposals. Her only criteria is whether something is an obstacle to eternity or not, so she generally passes most proposals.
Again, remember, the ones who originally proposed the Vision Hunt Decree was the Tenryou Commission. The ones who proposed the Sakoku Decree was the Kanjou Commission. Shogun didn't just pop out of her room one day and ban all Visions out of the blue. The Tri-Commission brought the idea up to her first, and she passed it.
Don't bother trying to make sense of it. The main Inazuma story is a fucking mess. The side stories on the other island and Raiden's 2nd quest are far better.
Watatsumi is shaped like a toilet bowl and the reason it doesn't have any bandits is because they're all poorfags with nothing to steal because the land is barren. Kokomi is a prime example of a "smart character written by dumb people". She spouts chess analogies for no reason and wise anecdotes such as "to avoid hardship you must prepare for hardship" while randomly accepting secret weapons that decimated her own forces because she didn't bother checking the magic life draining items just happened to be from the Fatui. Also it's not like they accomplished anything anyways, they just won the war by default because you talk-no-jutsu'd Ei out of it.
Her being a crypto-lizard is unironically more interesting than anything else they had planned for her in relation to the actual Inazuma archon quest.
I love how they handwaved the entire attack on Inazuma City.
Somehow Beidou alone was enough to carry Watatsumi's armies across the sea, past the entire Inazuman Navy and Army bases, land on Narukami Island, and fight their way to the Shogun's castle
When Ayato was released, his trailer said that he had a hand in helping out with the invasion. They didn't really explain what he actually did, nor does anyone explain what the invasion was meant to accomplish, but they did kinda try to say that the reason it worked out was all thanks to Ayato.
Damn, didn't know the Yashiro Commission held control over Inazuma's defenses...
I kneel, Mihoyo.
Unfortunately, I think this is all we'll ever get, and they'll probably never bring it up again. To this day I still can't understand why Kokomi even authorized this charge, or why Ayato thought it was a good idea.
>I love how they handwaved the entire attack on Inazuma City.
yes
Beidou fought a sea dragon for 3 days and nights and won and that was before she got a vision. Her joining the fray is like a named character in a Dyntasy Warriors game joining the fight. You're damn right she alone gave them that advantage. lmao
>crypto-lizard
this is a ref to ethnic Koreans living in Japan 2ch blames everything on, just like Ganker blames garden gnomes
Kokomi is a religious extremist and Watatsumi Island has a history of violent uprisings
Watatsumi is basically like an islamic community. The benevolent shogun allowed them in and let them continue worshipping the god that attacked her without warning and they still chimp out at the first opportunity
really they should have all been executed
>she wasn't like 'oh shit! *THAT* was actually happening?' or 'alas I have wronged my poor subjects if only I had known better', it's just 'ok you won, guess I'll end the thing because if you 1v1 someone and lose you gotta do what they say or it's dishonobru'.
Best girl and archon. Ei changes her mind when Yae shows up and is no longer interested in fighting. She basically gives up to talk to Yae.
bro I literally just played that fight and dialogue, they debate a bit about if ambitions are good or not and at the end she effectively says 'well you won so I'll get rid of the decree like you said', not 'i concede the argument' or 'i see your point'
The reason that Ei can't entirely agree that ambitions are good is because human ambitions have been responsible for nearly every single tragedy in her life.
>inazume needs some sort of french revolution mass guillotining and kokomi should be the new empress what a fucking mess
Nice Post Focalors
Literally the only thing you walk away with from all of this is that Sara did nothing wrong. She had to kick half of the shogunate's asses and get her shit pushed in by a harbinger, but she really was the hero of the whole story. Her & Sayu, the only other competent person in all of this.
>is immortal

we got two though
What do those two even do? I haven't looked at the leaks
I was talking about Al and Scara

idk, leaks says different shit every other day, they seem ok if you don't mind males and dendro
scaradouche is mediocre as fuck, kaveh is dendro mona, baizhu is a dendro healer and so far nobody has agreed on whether they're good or not
>scaradouche is mediocre as fuck,
Skill issue
>kaveh is dendro mona,
Oh, he's shit then.
>baizhu is a dendro healer
Irrelevant
Not a single male comes anywhere close to how unusable Dehya is. But I think that's more due to her being brown and a hag, as hags fair worse than the other character types aside from maybe e-bois. Males in average fair better than females.
Yelan and Raiden is meta
Seems like we have Fujo here
They are the exceptions. Raiden is archon so she has to be good and Yelan may have just been a fluke or something. None of the other hags are really good and there are a few that are extremely niche.
Just 2 patches ago people were complaining the males were underpowered and being left behind by the females, kindly shut the fuck up
If you mean reddit or Twitter then no shit they'd complain about that. Nevermind that Kazuha is one of the most meta characters in the game and that two of the 4*power trio are male. Again no one even comes close to how bad Dehya is.
You life is worthless.
Do you even play the fucking game before making such a retarded statement? Males are always between pretty good to T0. Meanwhile the females are from utter garbage useless shit to T0.
Just because you feel like there are more females in T0 doesn't invalidate the fact the shittiest characters are also females.
Now fucking have a nice day Fujo chud
Occasionally getting a broken (good) girl does not make up for getting fucked in the ass with a broken (really bad) girl. The negative character and kit lingers way longer than the bit of relief and joy from the really good character. It’s an absolute circus seeing people complain when a guaranteed T1 guy isn’t good enough when liking a 5* girl (non-archon) is two coinflips with one being if they didn’t sabotage the kit.
Al Haitham is the one single male dps in T0, every one else is mid to low T1 which in this game means they're mediocre as fuck. The male supports are good but they also came out a long fucking time ago, kazuha is nearly 2 years old at this point
Get off your high horse and stop seething at imaginary fujos
Kazuha being nearly 2 years old is irrelevant when his closest comparison is still Sucrose and Faruzan is unfortunately/fortunately a niche buffer.
People tend to ignore Sucrose because "not as easy to play". Despite the fact C6 Sucrose is better until Kazuha gets C2.
People unironically getting skill issued.
Support and off field presence is the most broken thing one can be and guess what, it's mostly males making that list.
I don’t want to get into Sucrose vs Kazuha. My point was the opposite view that it is more telling in the 2 years since his release they were in no rush to release a comparable character. Whether or not that has to do with dendro catchup for Sumeru and extreme dendro bias is up to you.
Unchecked ambitions ARE bad. God knows Khaenri'ah's ambitions nearly destroyed the world.
If only they had succeeded.

>>her singing opera is quite unique
fuck i can't stop laughing, it's like someone is crushing cat's balls
She is one of the most sniffable Genshins
why hasn't literally every nation declared war on scheznaya at this point?
yeah mondstadt probably can't do anything as they're basically 1 city without any real central governing body or standing military
but like inazuma; raiden's down to fight random people making scenes at public events and can straight up make canyons with her burst in the fluff, they also definitely have a standing army
or even moreso goddamn liyue; sure morax is retired, and the adepti probably don't answer directly to ninguan, but does anyone remember what happened when she dropped the first jade chamber on that sea god hydra monster? or more importantly the fact that she built a new on in a few fucking days to replace it? this shit is like WMD tier, if they wanted to spend a few months making those it'd be like sending a hundred soul rippers or czars across the map in supcom, every single one they even shoot down is going to aircrash half the battalion of AA units or base that shot it down
because just like in real life, Russia is the good guy
There's a flimsy explanation for every country, but the real reason is that the writers are hacks that never actually planned out as much as people like to think they did.
They are just good at not mentioning future things so they don't accidentally contradict themselves which gives an illusion that they planned out everything, the biggest example is Natlan in which the only thing we know from in game stuff is that they have brown people, have saunas and practice shadow boxing.
Light brown.
They get 2 shades lighter the nearer we approach.
idk mang you'd think they could at least have the fatui be a bit more... subtle about it rather than having platoons of their uniformed fucking troops roaming the countryside or attacking in cutscenes, have a single fatui unit among a bunch of treasure hoarders or ronin or something every now and then, or in cutscenes have the fatui commander escape multiple times or finally take the suicide pill before being captured after leading attacks
Would celestia allow such a thing to happen? Besides, some of the archons know what cryo archon wants to achieve and do not oppose it.
I play as Aether because I'm gay.
noice
Klee is a artificial creation or clone of Alice right? Because rumors says that Alice will be playable and there is no way that they make a canonical non virgin character playable
Klee is canonically the child of Alice and an Adventurer.
I hope Alice is playable so insane people like you have a meltdown over it
>an Adventurer.
it was me
Can't wait for Natlan so we can watch Capitano murder Murata
friendly reminder there hasn't been a single character from Natlan (playable or otherwise) outside of the one kid in the preview yet
if inazuma had democratic elections kokomi would be shogun
>democratic elections
>warmongering lizard
Maybe if Inazuma was based on America, it would happen
no it would be Ayato (80 years old)
The Shogunate actually invited Watatsumi to join the Shogunate, and if they did I'm sure Kokomi would have been their representative in the modern day, but they were all "No, fuck you, you killed our snek god".
>invited
just like Japan invite nations to join the East Asian Co-Prosperity sphere, rigth?
>Watatsumi attacks the Shogunate
>their god suicides by archon
>the Shogunate gracefully offers them a place in Inazuma
>even lets them continue worshipping their God's corpse and retain autonomy
>their vishapriestess declares war on the Shogunate again in the future
the shogunate are a corrupt cabal of foreign entangled private interests masquerading behind an absentee/incompetent figurehead, fuck the shogunate, no sane or honorable faction or individual would want to associate with those infidels
Nah, more like Inazuma would elect someone that would finally solve the Watatsumi problem for good.
MOGGED
Reminder that Raiden wears platform shoes.
shogunate propaganda, nice try NPC
too bad for cockgirl that Inazuma's ruler is decided by the time-honored tradition of pulling swords out of boobas
Honestly, Raiden and Kokomi will probably never meet. There's almost no means for Kokomi to come out of that confrontation and actually win.
But she's a GENIUS, anon.
She will fined a way 😉
>Her big strategy for winning was hiring a bunch of mercenaries from NotChina
>The genius representative of the poor, oppressed, starving people of Watatsumi succeeded by... buying her way to victory
okay
Really, the whole civil war storyline was a hot mess.
And all of it could've been avoided if Yae wasn't a complete shitbag.
she won without even lifting a finger because she delegated it to you
I mean in terms of diplomacy. Raiden has the far higher standing and has all the cards. Kokomi has nothing to really contribute to any sort of debate with Raiden. Any confrontation with Raiden isn't going to result in anything good for Kokomi. Even if nothing happens, if nothing else it'll probably be a blow to her dignity.
From a military perspective, Ei is in a place of such absolute superiority that it's impossible for Watatsumi to win. Thus, she has no reason to make the first move. If Watatsumi attempts anything, then they're gonna be the ones in the wrong. Their greatest military asset, the Traveler, is unlikely to help Watatsumi if they're the aggressors.
As far as political and religious stances go, Watatsumi once again has nothing. For instance, Watatsumi could go "We demand that you make amends for killing our snek god", and all Raiden would have to do is respond "Was it not Watatsumi who struck first? Your forebearers even killed my general." If Watatsumi argues "We were starving and dying!", then all Raiden would have to do is say "Why didn't your forebearers try negotiating before resorting to violence?" I'm not actually sure if this was intentional, but Watatsumi doesn't actually have any sort of leg over Raiden in any capacity. That's probably why Raiden will never, ever interact with anyone from Watatsumi, because nothing could ever be gained from that confrontation for either side.

tldr por favor
The only thing that's allowed Watatsumi to keep its dignity all this time is Raiden's refusal to set foot on it.
>Raiden's refusal to set foot on it.
based. reptilians get the rope
If the two meet, it's over for kokomi.
I want to have sex with both Kokomi and Raiden and nothing else matters.

while yoymiya and ayaka watch
Your first mistake is thinking everything is planned and minor details having some kind of story significance
Should I roll for Ayaka? I heard she's really good and I missed out on her the last time but currently I don't really feel like I need a cryo DPS anymore since I have built dendro teams.
Roll for who you like
Ayaka need tons of investment since recent abyss aren't freeze friendly. Maybe fountaine will change that.
Ayakas best team is Ayaka freeze. Freeze needs kokomi, kazuha and shenhe. It's very powerful comp even if you can't freeze enemies because the damage output is so high.
There are other ayaka comps, replacing shenhe with rosaria which works but is no where near as good.
Or using diona, venti and mona. Which also works but isn't as good. Mona also has pretty poor hydro uptime but the damage is very good.
On the plus side ayaka does not need any constellations. She works out of the box. She has a pretty good 4 star weapon in amenoma from inazuma. But she does get a significant power spike from her signature weapon mistsplitter.
Shenhe also does not need any constellations. She does not even need her signature weapon since favonius is arguably her best weapon.
If you roll on Ayaka I would recommend c0 and getting Shenhe c0. Shenhe is designed to be paired with Ayaka and likely won't be run again for a long time since she is a slightly problematic character for mihoyo.
This would provide you with Ayala and easily her best support character.
If you have left over wishes then get mistsplitter.
Putting both of them with any decent hydro applier and anemo grouper will net you a 36 star team relatively easily with expansion options in kazuha and kokomi.

Why did Xiangling want to eat Paimon? She looks like a floating human baby.
...Does Xiangling eat babies?
chinks
Hilichurls are food in Teyvat. And so are slimes.
A flying fairy sounds like a delicious mystery meat.
>literally says this in battle
>Help! My dinner is attacking me!
>She looks like a floating human baby.
only to you
what she looks like to other, who knows, but not a human baby
Dehya being shit is what cemented the fact that Genshin is a fujo game. I have lost complete faith in new characters being any good unless they're a handsome mysterious man
It's a real shame.
i wanna fuck that
GOUBA
Who are the 4* on Ayaka/Shenhe banner? Anyone knows?
other two unknown
You WILL pull for Chongs wife
Aunt
my waifu
Here praying its Kuki, Candace, Layla, Rosaria or Sayu
I'd roll if banners have Cookie and Layla.
Nah they gotta save the characters you want for the homo banner.
It's will be Mika, Chongyun and Fischl.
Source: dude trust me
i hope someone pours molten mercury in your urethra if thats the case, moron
Rosaria because I'm not rolling on it. You're welcome bros.

Why is Paimon so scared of everything? Why is she always so paranoid? What kind of terrifying life did she live before meeting the Traveler?
She was living underwater
But she can't swim.
>c3
>wolf greatsword
>run around punching shit and ignore abyss because it was never fun to begin with so just rush with meta characters and be done with it
I'm looking forward to the next zone with her new artifact set.
It was terrible, get some taste for fucks sake.
>Start playing cards for the first time to get in on the event
>I easily destroy the first 3 people I play against
>They all have Klee in their deck, so I'm pretty sure they have some experience and are probably following some "meta" the internet told them to use
Are people just generally this bad? Also, is this coin reward a daily thing, or just once for the entire event duration?
I feel special for maining Euler. She has to be the most exclusive character in the game. Don't think I would play the game if I didn't have her on screen all the time
Fuck you i didnt pulled for her first cuz of klunny then i was broke and was saving for fox feet
Yet you can't even spell her name correctly
EULER is her name.
why does she wear lingerie on her head lmao
she's "special"
I'm pretty sure I spelled oiler correctly
>She has to be the most exclusive character in the game
lol
everybody got her bro
>both use the same boss
>no one else uses it
Behold the least useful boss in the game
The game definitely has more bosses than it needs.
CUTE
I also main Euler. You're small time.
My first 5* was Qiqi and I didn't even reroll my account
My first 5* was Tartaglia "Childe" (Ajax), the 11th of the Nine Fatui Harbingers.
>lose coinflip to Mona on Venti banner
>hold guarantee for Tart and pop it since his style change looked fun to me
It was nice having hydros in a time when hydros were rarer yet still in high demand.
mona is such a dumb fuckig cunt
lies, shut yer mouth
I neither hit pity on Venti's banner nor did I reroll for a 5 star
Genshin up until I got Bennett in December was literally dark souls
bruh. should've just lowered yer world level
So when are we getting a playable murderous Katheryne doll?
When I look at old Mondstadt stuff, I honestly see that the game actually has improved dramatically over time. How the fuck did we tolerate these trash story and world quests? Also, why did they make you play a shitty air shooter like three times?
>SkillUp does a sponsored Genshin vidya a year or so ago
>laughed at the shooting dragon scene along with his bro
>does a fine professional job, not mocking it too much
>never mention it again or any other anime shit ever again
it was a different time
Mondstadt was pretty bad. Like even now, Andrius is still easily the most boring boss. I'm willing to give Dvalin a pass because he's basically an introductory boss, but I don't know why Andrius exists. I shit on Shouki-no-Kami a lot, but Andrius is definitely the worst boss by far.
How is he bad other than the stupid transition phase where he just runs in a circle
Basic bitch boring. The transition phase is annoying, but beyond that he's just really goddamn lame. I don't know why he exists.
True, but actual "gamers" (console+steam gays like us) are a tiny minority, most players are children, noobs, or worse, females.
They are pretty tough and demanding fights if Genshin is your first "real" game.
fewer people own shenhe, but that will change in 10 days
I have shenhe but I have no ayaka or ganyu and will never summon them, next cryo dps when?
bro yer Aloy, yer Chong?
They were useful during double hydro heralds but I want a new cryo dps
>Have Shenhe
>Have Ayaka
>Have Ganyu
>have Eula
>don't like any of the 3 DPS characters enough to use them over other ones I like so Shenhe is still benched
Next cryo DPS when?
got both Eula and Shenhe the first time, but they were both very underwhelming to play, got them to 10 for friendship cards and retired them to the teapot, hate being a welkin slave, but I need them hags SO MUCH
thoughts on giving ganyu blizzard strayer with ER sands so she becomes a burst bot for a freeze team with ayato/kazuha/diona?
Ganyu needs some ER, but you're generally running her with a second Cryo anyway so your ER needs shouldn't be that high. If she's the only Cryo on your team, then you're probably gonna have a hard time getting her burst up even if you do stack ER on her since Ganyu's not really all that great at generating energy.
I'm putting Diona on the team, if I were to not use an ER sands, would an ER bow work then? I don't roll for 5 star weapons, I only two from the standard banner and neither of them are bows
I was planning to use Ayato as the DPS in this team while Kazuha's, Diona's and Ganyu's bursts all do additional damage
Generally on Freeze teams, you're trying to max out her raw damage and relying primarily on artifact substats for ER. ER isn't really a priority even on Freeze teams for Ganyu. The thing about ER is that if you focus too much on it, your damage suffers. You need to strike a balance, and for Ganyu, you'll find that Crit and ATK are a greater concern.
Right then, I'll aim for pieces with high CD and decentish CR for Ganyu, as from what I've read BS increases the crit rate even when she's off field, right? And with high Cryo Resonance, I'm also guessing that CR becomes a lower priority than ER for her substats?
Either way, I'm gonna have to leave it all up to luck, never really built Freeze before so thanks for the headers
Do whatever you like though I don't see why you'd want to bother freezing without a cryo dps
I'm still haven't finished Inazuma
Is Alhaitham's second sword ever explained? Is it a secondary weapon he carried around with him at all times or is it something he creates with his Vision?
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Alhaitham/Lore
pages & pages of stuff and no mention of his vision sword
guess it just looked cool or the lore is hidden in a random item somewhere
I don't think we have an explanation for Collei's boomerang either, but I'm 95% certain it's a gadget and not an elemental construct.
it's kinda of silly when they put so much detailed lore in artifacts and weapons and just ignore Character's vision weapons, but I suppose they really are just gameplay mechanics, not lore accurate, since your party is only you and paimon
Most elemental constructs either have clear explanations or are just really obvious. For instance, no one would assume that Tartaglia or Ayato's elemental constructs are anything but. On the other hand, you wouldn't know that the lyre that Venti materializes during his skill is in fact a construct if his profile didn't say it outright.
Alhaitham's sword is the only real mystery. Normally, most elemental constructs are extremely obvious. Ayato's water sword is clearly a construct for instance. However, a handful of characters can create much more convincing-looking fakes; Zhongli's stone spears are the most obvious example, as well as Venti's lyre. Itto's stone club might also fall into this category.

I think the star capes are red herrings. While it's true that Dainsleif and the Abyss Heralds have starry mantles, the stars on their mantles don't move. They're static designs. The stars on Paimon's mantle, however, DO move. Her possible connection to the Sustainer might also be a red herring. While the Sustainer had sharp golden eyes, Paimon's eyes have stars in them.
Whatever Paimon is, she has a much stronger relationship with the stars than any of these characters.
I skipped Yoimiya twice and she's before a banner I want. I wouldn't mind her getting relegated to a standard 5-star to be honest.
>relegated to a standard 5-star
nah, Mihoyo needs her to fill the spot right before any archon
The issue with Yoimiya is that they always have her share the spotlight with much more desirable characters.
Exactly and that sucks. I do want another pyro-DSP bow user I can main and for the random torch puzzles.
Just roll her.
tried twice and got qiqi & jean
I did, when she was running with Nahida. Got Keq'd.
But since then I've tried Fischl physical and hated it so maybe losing the 50/50 on Yoi was actually a blessing.
>want to use Dehya

Is Rana the only character to own a vision without being playable?
No. There were a bunch of characters from Inazuma. In fact, there are at least a hundred Inazumans with Visions, but only like half a dozen are playable.
ok
just don't remember the badge hanging from any other npcs we talked to
Their Visions were confiscated when we met them.
Apparently at least some of the samurai bandits are ex-soldiers that deserted because of the vision decree.
I will now explore the patch old desert.
remember to start Jeht's quests, she has two large chain quests, half the areas are locked off until then
>The head of the Iwakura clan gave up his vision willingly
>You murder the fuck out of him
Maybe he should've held onto that.
you are a killer par excellence, it would not have helped him
Just imagine being one of the shogunate staffers tasked with returning the things
>Oh
>Uh
>Sorry, our bad.
stinky and doesn't shave
good, imagine her thicc pubes

woooow
I'm thinking Looms will be a hydro healer in 4.0. Having a healer option will greatly expand her viability.
It'd be funny if she ends up as good a healer is Kokomeme, even if she doesn't I'll still never regret skipping that boring fish WHORE.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
Traveler's abilities usually tend to embody the most basic, baseline gimmicks associated with each element. So with Anemo, it was swirl and succ. With Geo, it was constructs and crystallize (Geo Traveler's kit is partially designed to crystallize easily). With Electro, it's infusion/conversion/coordination. With Dendro, it's just pure application, which is something that nearly every Dendro character has some proficiency in to some capacity.
In regards to Electro, the most common attribute associated with its characters has to do with elemental infusion, conversion or coordination. Many characters fall into one of these three categories.
As far as Hydro goes, it's most commonly a very support-oriented element, with most characters falling under the category of defensive support (healing/damage mitigation) or offensive support (buffs/debuffs/coordination). If the trend holds true, then Hydro Traveler will probably fall under one of the two categories. Problem is if they do end up going down that path, then they'll probably have a ton of competition because Hydro has a LOT of good support characters.
To continue on this topic, Pyro's most common attribute is just raw offense. Pyro has the largest collection of raw DPS characters in the game. Not all of them are GOOD at it, but for instance, even though Xinyan isn't a great DPS, it's still her primary function.
Cryo, on the other hand, is very mixed. It's almost split down the middle between DPS and support.
None of the travelers is straight support, I feel like its always a weak dps so there's that
Dendro Traveler is raw support.
How does his E support other characters?

Imagine Looms outliving her friends...
Loom will get new, younger waifus and fuck them when her old ones expire.
>Mona spends years learning divination through the stars and water
>Gets btfo'd by a e-boi who talks to her cats
How will she ever recover.
Aether will always be there for her.
So is the sumuwu archon quest like twice as long as the others or something I'm doing part 3 and we haven't even left the city yet
