Genshin Impact

[Dollar Store Sentai]

The speculators are saying Jade in the first half and Huohuo for the second. The combined banners will happen sometime after 3.1

I pulled and got Zhongli and Neuvillette without losing a 50/50. Then a friend convinced me to burn the primos I would have burned losing the 50/50 on the weapons. So now I have their weapons too.

Guess I'll be grinding for the rest of the month to make them useable.

Holy shit fighting the Geo Hypostasis fucking sucks. The run back is long enough that I remembered for once that temporary teleporters exist, and his fight is fucking boring. STAY ON THE GODDAMN PILLAR YOU COWARD.

The Herta needs another Erudition character with her, so it's a strong possibility Jade may come back?

Awesome, easiest skips of my life

Wait until you fight the Cryo Hypostasis that needs you to break its shield by using charged attacks on the ice balls it spits out in different directions. With the changes done to some bosses it's weird that the cubes seemingly weren't touched at all.

I already have Eula max ascension. Don't need to fight him anymore

Huo Huo again? Well, considering that Aglaea's ult takes a shit ton of energy, it makes sense.

 

[Hammr2]

the one upcoming character that instantly clicks my interest is Lumi,

enjoy your wasted 4* rolls

I cheat her last constellation/resonance with the shop.
Yinlin is one try upgrading echoes. Meanwhile Lumi needs multiple replacements. 4* dps is nothing to write about but she doesn't take ages to build concerto like Taoqi to buff resonance skill damage.

 

[DenseDeerFather]

Oh she's out? Time to boot up WuWa

Edit: Oh joy... I got the Holy Buffalo Wing.

Goodbye, Bronya. So my second 50/50 was won. My god. Lucky me?

On the flip side I was wrong about endgame content. Jesus Christ the simulated universe sure does have a bunch of stellar jades. And I still have a few tickets leftover.

 

[Dumpster dived waifu]

Part of me wants to pull on yin Lin, and the other part is interested in the upcoming characters and knows I can't afford both

Star Rail banner FOMO hits me so much harder than genshin because you can't just roll for a character, you have to roll for the whole 5* team because the gap between 4* and 5* supports is too high.

If you like jingyuan you need to roll for sunday. If you like firefly you need to roll for ruan mei and use HTB (or fugue). If you like feixiao you need to roll for robin. If you like black swan/kafka you need to roll for kafka/black swan.

Note how hoyo released all of those together in their last runs so you effectively need to win two 50/50s. All these teams also need an sp positive sustain so a limited 5* (or e6 galagher).

Also note how seele hasn't rerun since 1.4, i presume because they don't know how to sell her again. Her kit is so basic that you can't give her a dedicated support that doesn't work better on other dps.

This is not to say genshin powergap isn't huge either, but the entire game being balanced around bennet and xinqiu forced hoyo to be more careful with supports and dps, with all 5* supports other than shenhe being rather flexible teamwise and (most?) 5* dps not needing a specific 5* support to function.

Even a unit designed for ONE team like itto in monogeo can work outside of it. Like, instead of Chiori/gorou/ZL you can do a Itto/xilonen/furina/fischl because why not. If Itto was in Star rail he would have core passive that only works when there are 4 geo in the team, just to force you to roll on geo supports.

I'm probably not gonna have enough for Fugue meaning i'll have no second support for firefly if i want to play rememberance TB rip.

Gonna pull for Fugue and Herta Prime because they look cool. Same with Citlali and Mavuika. Good thing I hoard primo's like a fucking dragon.

and then you notice yinlin's weapon which is so BIS it hurts

Yinlin is one try upgrading echoes. Meanwhile Lumi needs multiple replacements. 4* dps is nothing to write about but she doesn't take ages to build concerto like Taoqi to buff resonance skill damage.

just grabbed the free one from the shop, mainly so I can use her for IR and already got cons for the other 4* (having to roll on genshin's recent banners with age-old duplicates burned me enough). imo weapon is more important than C1, but with 2.0 coming up....

and I still need to pull changli too

No gacha sweeps at the game awards so no primos/jades/whatevers.
Fated "genshin killer" Wuthering Waves does not win despite copesurances from paid streamers.

Boomer gambling too strong

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Aw that sucks.

 

[DenseDeerFather]

Forever slaves to the grind, ladies and gents.

Speaking my language. Except the hoarding. I'm fresh so I want mostly everyone.

Gotta pull double duty for both Fugue and then Firefly. I could use an actual Fire damage dealer. Himeko is okay but a glass shotgun and Hook is lame.

I use mainly Little Gui when I'm in dire need of a another fire unit but otherwise only as a Nihility boost for Acheron.

I look forward to Herta and Aglaea. Beyond being cool (the hat says it all) , I'm not doing double duty for Houhou or Jade so maybe I can actually try to get some light cones.

I'm so-so on Mauvika but I'm certainly going after Citali.

Chlorine and Arle though...

That is if I can get Neuvi first. I don't expect to win another double 50/50 but I'm far behind in Genshin content wise so primos are easy to come by.

They could, depending on their generosity.
Like for ZZZ, they really want that much attraction from next patch soft relaunch. Considering the game doesn't seem that popular or successful as they want. The game is doing pretty well in JP though. If you check PS store top download monthly (check F2P section at the bottom for each post), it's been consistently top 10 with Genshin since its release date.
This 800 polychromes makes it a 10-pulls along with previous PS award.


Here is WuWa today

Firefly is great, especially as she implants fire weakness as well, and self heals during her alt. I use her everywhere.

The key to hoarding is to skip characters for arbitrary, yet personal reasons. Everyone is losing their shit over Sunday claiming he's gonna be meta or whatever, but for me he's an easy skip because I fucking hate him and yearn to throw another train at his retarded ass.

 

[RIPRhongoBongo]

Used my Astrites, hoping my 4-star attraction would catch Lumi. Nope.

Same honestly. Or a nuke of Destruction. Or idk, Boothill can gun him down or something. Or Thunderlord and Dragon Heng can smite his weird angelic EVA maestro clusterfuck to bits.

Odd that he ends up boarding a train but maybe we get to run him over on Friday nights.

Crudeness aside, yes, I did pull for and got him because he was there and I had already gotten the guy I did want but if I lost the 50/50, I would have flat-out skipped him for Fugue instead of grinding my ass off like I did the last two banners. I can't stand him or his Jihadist groupies either but muh collection.

Considering 3.0 and a bunch of new probable characters shown off, who knows if he's gonna meet the same fate as Seele or something. I can say I have not put any stock into Sunday so he's basically collecting dust at the moment. But hey, I got him.

On the off chance that the speculators are right about Huohou and Jade reruns, I can proudly say I will skip them both. I'd like an actual 5* Quantum but I don't really care enough to waste pulls on Jade and I find Huohuo kinda annoying. Blame the not-Twich ghost event.

The only skip I ever regret doing was Topaz but that's mainly because Numby can track chests but I was trying to get Lingsha first and didn't get there.

Firefly is great, especially as she implants fire weakness as well, and self heals during her alt. I use her everywhere.

Really! I tend to borrow her when I'm farming for materials and she's great. I was initially so-so on her but decided to go fuck it, we're getting her.
