Well shit, I knew we'll get a Remembrance/Ice Trailblazer, but wouldn't know Hoyo would announce it early.

My only concern is the fact that, we can't have both Trailblazer in different teams on MOC/PF/AS, base on the leaks, Harmony is still the best for break team, and won't be replaced.
(Sorry for the doomer posting)

Also part of me wishes the servant would look more cool and less cutesy, just a personal thing.

going by everything released, Fugue will easily replace HMC in every break comp except maybe firefly, even then she can still come out ahead, for someone like boothill tho its not even close on how much better she is at increasing his dps

Soooooooo rerun after Fugue and Birdman? Considering he's playable in the latest Trailblazer Continuance quest....

But more shamelessly, I like him. I think he's cool. I want him. You cannot go wrong with a shark-toothed cyborg space cowboy.

Speaking of 5*, I got Bronya's light cone on the standard banner as my guarantee. Looks like I'm picking Gepard when they give a free 5*. Then I can pick Clara for free when I finally hit 300 pulls. Should be at 263 currently. Yeah I'm a slow puller.

Also I hear tell Jing Yuan is getting a buff for his rerun. Take it with a grain of salt. It was whispers on the MHY app.

And you only get half of the plot for there, because the devs put the rest in a limited event.

Oh that's fucking stupid. What is even the point then? I'll still play what I can but that's a bummer.

There better be an achievement for that.

Edit music talk: I was listening to some of HSR OST so I could jam to all of Robin's stuff, the battle themes, Dragon Heng's theme and that lovely guitar piece you can set as the background music on the Astral Express.

Also, I had no idea they made a music video with a dancing Aventurine and him and Robin cruising around in a car. Wtf was that?

Edit 2: This post is getting really long, pardon me but there's this teaser image of the new characters floating about, alongside Aglaea.

That was always a problem where Hoyo would put story or character introductions/lore in limited time events that are never coming back, which is why people have been asking to have those available even if you don't get the rewards. Remember Scaramouche the Balladeer? Unless you actually knew of him before getting to Inazuma you might be confused who he is and why the Traveler seems to know of him. He was introduced early in an event called Unreconciled Stars, where they introduced Fischl.

Then there was the time where Hoyo dropped some insight into Fischl's character (and an outfit)...in a limited time event that was the second run of the Golden Apple Archipelago, a limited time area that has only been used twice and never again. That one also had backstory for Xinyan, Kazuha and Mona, if I recall correctly.

If I'm not mistaken it's only recently where the events have "story" that is more like filler. So if you missed the latest summer event, you're not missing much.

problem is she's not only a 5*, but THE pyro archon. venti is hit or miss and got nerfed hard, but he has the excuse being the first one. there's none pulling this in your fifth year, not after furiner.
like all they had to do is make her a 5* benny without having to play circle impact. there, easy. wouldn't even be major powercreep, just another slightly stronger option (with obvious constellation bait to make her more self-sufficient/carry) instead of yet another onfielder (with a bike, like dude this isn't zzz).

The problem with making a 5* bennet+xiangling is that people will simply play them with bennet for +3000 atk buff. Furina was strong but she doesn't replace xinqiu in his hydro application. Currently mavuika* hard powercreeps every pyro dps hard (her charge bike spin has absurd scaling and hits fast AoE with no hitlag) so she's definitely powercreeping, just not bennet.

The main downside of missing events is that you can miss a few genuinely strong 4* event weapon. I started in 1.6 so i don't have festering desire that is (allegedly) best in slot 4* on furina . The sword from this patch is also bizarrely strong (40% normal/charged + 16% crit wtf).

In honkai they actually put the limited event weapon on herta store but in genshin they're lost forever. #genshinwouldnever

The point is you're a stupid bitch for getting into the game late in it's lifespan. Should have been in on the ground floor so you can understand what the fuck the characters mean when they say the sky is fake.

This and whatever technology before in Genshin, even with Scaramouche mech didn't hit me that bad. But Mavuika's bike and Skirk, Idk, jump the shark for me too much with modern and scifi thing. I wish, why can't fantasy be fantasy and contains in its own world.
To the point, I feel only exploration and maybe music can still be considered great. Others are mixed bag, up and down.

I haven't checked it myself but apparently they also made her final model thiccer
Click to expand...

Not shown in the video, but for complete model, there is even a worn-out texture on her left legging at the side to back.
Not yandere, but very menhera though. The latter is literally the point of her being easy to overclock.

New Rina cast. I like Phoebe the most though. Brant is alright. Nazi Zani is the most popular on social media, so no for me right now (the more popular something, the less I want on first day, my snowflake mentality kicks in). Carlotta and Roccia are fine, waiting for more VAs announcement.

Nobody here talks about this.
HSR 1.png HSR 2.png
HSR wishful resin .png
Okay, skimming through that I feel like HSR players may acquire this Resin sub-stat more (amount) or easier than Genshin.
Genshin requires to buy BP to get one. HSR gives one for free and one for paid option.
Genshin can craft one per patch. HSR can craft 2 per patch and also exchange up to 3 per month.
Genshin can acquire 6 for free during patch 5.0 to 5.1. Three tribes secret vaults, one from Archon quest and two from Natlan tablet (Lv10 and 20). This 5.2 patch has two tribes and Natlan tablet lv 30. Reminding that secret vaults and Natlan tablet require some exploration effort.
Currently I have 14 elixirs and soonish one more from paid BP. Roughly can craft 3 (goblet slot)- 5 (circlet slot) pieces since 5.0. But seriously though, even circlet can be farm with appropriate crit substat unlike goblet.
Calculation from patch 5.0 - 5.2
Battlepass and crafting, 2 x 3 (patches) = 6.
Archon quest, 1.
Five tribes, 5.
Natlan tablet, 3.
Then again, it's probably to compensate how harsher HSR meta is and no off-piece requirement comparing to Genshin though. Still having more is good.
I don't remember if HSR can strongbox up to latest relic set. Meanwhile, ZZZ can strongbox to newest sets, for now, waiting for new sets in next patch. Genshin couldn't even let you have strongbox the last one in previous region.

Edit: take this as huge grain of salt. Starting from 5.3, new character banner will last for entire patch. Meanwhile, rerun banners will start as usual second half duration. Also, apparently ZZZ will do the same for 1.4

Honestly a good change, people can funnel all the patch gemmies on the last day into whatever option they want.

IIRC Festering is only about 10% above Fleuve Cendre Ferryman (the fontaine fishing weapon) and both provide ER and boost skill dmg.

Admitingly I am interested in Brant, Carlotta and Zani. I'm not really into the rest.

Honestly it's really funny to me. How Natlan is just bikes and rollerblades and whatnot.
Kachina and her drill thing makes sense IMO but then there's Kinichi and his 8-bit shit.

I feel called out lol. Worry now. I too am a snowflake but that might be because people, outside this forum thankfully, tend to be really obnoxious when it comes to hype and that will burn a deer out really quickly.

For example, the WuWa reddit losing its shit over Flower Power Girl and Changli's companion quest because she holds hands with Rover.

It's partly why I am genuinely considering skipping Sunday and just pulling for Jing Yuan if that buff is true. (Also Imaginary fatigue) I'll still give birdman a chance though because why the fuck not. The Mihoyo App tends to be bit of a cesspool in that regard. I only use it to check in for rewards for Genshin and HSR but you're sort of forced to the main page every time you log in.

Also, there's this curious trend of redesigning characters. Usually covering up the females or making them darker. Typical tumblr shit. There was a really funny one where they made Mona wear an abaya which just clutters her.

But enough about nuns! Would you look at that! The stupid fuckboy is here! 55-58 pity I think. I lost count. Goddamn!
FINALLY YOU STUPID FUCK.png
Fucking grinding and stubbornness win again.

Also I really need more Abundance characters. I happened to have two or so 5* light cones and they are both Abundance.

Ow my unlucky heart.

Though knowing my luck, I'll probably get Jing Yuan or Sunday on fuck all pity, then pull my hair out on the other Asshole if I decide to get both.

Congrats though! Now we can both be fucking done with this banner.

Been a while for me so I don't know if it's still up, but I think the rewards page was also directly accessible through browser without needing to go through the main page. Could just bookmark it and then come back for your dailies, unless they now force you to use the app for it. (I only know of the Genshin one but it stands to reason there'd be a HSR one too)

There is one for HSR too thankfully.

But yeah I should just bookmark so I can avoid Mona in a burqa and Chasca the jigaboo nun.

Anyway I went back to WuWa, got the annoying blue haired loli and spent bouncing between quests and ascending everyone.

Honest question. Who in the fuck over at Kuro decided to name some of the bosses. I'm not mad about it, just amused at the names. I can vibe fine with Tacet Discord considering this whole game is built around the theme of sound.

But what in lord booty's name is a Lampylumen Myriad? It's supposed to resemble an insect but you tell me what the hell it is. Feilian Beringal is another funny one. Same with Tempest Mephis. What is a Mephis?

Inferno Rider, Mech Abomination and Mourning Aix make sense at least. Crownless is a cool name too.

And I'm split on Impermanence Heron and Fallacy of No Return. It's such a tryhard name but it makes sense in context.
