    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.

      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 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.

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.

                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.

      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".

        Anonymous

        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 suspiciously 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.

              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

                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 fricking 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 FRICKING 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.

                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.

                >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.

      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

      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 "Frick theorists" and started contradicting earlier assumptions people had about Honkai's setting.

        It's impossible to defeat her at that time because, for storytelling purposes, she's invincible

        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

          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.

    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

            Additionally, Raiden is pretty much the only thing keeping the Abyss Order and the Fatui from doing whatever the frick 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.

            still lost it, and her hiding in her world had nothing to do with the gnosis so it's neither here nor there

                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.

                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 frick, 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.

              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.

          Additionally, Raiden is pretty much the only thing keeping the Abyss Order and the Fatui from doing whatever the frick 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.

            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.

          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 fricking 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.

            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...

    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.

        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 ape out at the first opportunity
        really they should have all been executed

        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

        I would have quit if the archon quests was the only story to tell.

        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 fricking 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 fricking 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

            so frickin 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

            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.

            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

            Watatsumi is shaped like a toilet bowl and the reason it doesn't have any bandits is because they're all poorgays 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.

            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

              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 frick 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 frickin archon, which was especially jarring considering how hard the sold yoimiya, ayaka and kokomi

                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 fricking 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 frick is she there?

                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.

                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 fricking 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 poorgays 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.

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.

      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-girls. Males in average fair better than females.

        Occasionally getting a broken (good) girl does not make up for getting fricked 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.

              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.

      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.

          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, frick you, you killed our snek god".

        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.

      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.

    thoughts on giving ganyu blizzard strayer with ER sands so she becomes a burst bot for a freeze team with ayato/kazuha/diona?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      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

        Do whatever you like though I don't see why you'd want to bother freezing without a cryo dps

        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

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          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.

          • 1 year ago
            Anonymous

            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

            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'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 prostitute.

      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.
