(who is said to be the free character in 2.6)
I can see those mofos pull that after he is in the shop this month (possibly wasting the starglitter). he's also meta and old enough that most people already whaled or grinded for him.

at this point I rather have the choice between an old banner char or old banner weapon tbh.

"You want choice? Too bad. Here's 5 glitter. Fuck you."
 
The beta was updated, ayato was buffed and an interesting new thing was found.


-Passive that gave 3% hp scaling on burst was changed to: Ayato now generates 2 energy per second when he's not on field, to a maximum of 40.

-Burst got +20%~ scaling on level 10, last 3 extra seconds (18) and now buffs 20% normal dmg instead of 12% atk speed. (technically a nerf for raiden teams).

-His c2 got slightly buffed (50% more hp after 3 slashes) and his c4 gives allies 15% atk speed instead of 20% normal dmg. Ironically, since he lost the hp scaling on burst, his c2 doesnt help his burst now. It's still there on skill.

-His sword was changed from getting 8x5 stacks on ally normal dmg to 2x20% stacks on ally skill cast. This means any basic rotation will give the sword holder 40% normal atk dmg, making it very easy to use.

-lvl 90 stats changed to 299 atk (buff), 13700~ hp (buff) and 769 def (nerf).

TL;DR: Ayato burst got better, energy issues are slightly less worse and his sword is ultra easy to get value but i dont recommend it on anyone other than him.

Ayato's is a less awkward now but his main issue still remains, he's a hydro character who is bad at hydroing solo. I feel he's designed to be played with xinqiu (who is said to be the free character in 2.6) but then you're not really getting a xinqiu alternative are you?

BONUS: New event furnishing in 2.6 shows Venti, xinqiu, kazuha and ayaka. This is the most implication this beta has gave us so dont be surprised if those 3 rerun with ayato and xinqiu is free.

Fun fact: They straight up stopped showing the rerun character on abyss disorder pictures and event art during beta because they would obviously spoil the reruns (childe and hutao, lantern rite).
So will any part of his kit scale with HP now? Otherwise all the changes theyve been making so far sound good.
edit: also got a favonius greatsword from my monthly shop fates i hate this game

I bought xinqiu on the shop 7.5 months ago and got his c6 on lantern rite so this sucks for me, if i knew he was going to be free i'd get yunjin instead. I think the reason they're giving xinqiu is to play him with Ayato. While probably not abyss optimal, they can battery each other and xinqiu works great with ayaka who should rerun too.

But yeah, they should really give us more 4* options like lantern rite or at least the choice to pick a different reward that isnt effectively 1 free fate. Free characters benefit new players way more than ar56+ players.

His skill still has an hp scaling that increases with each slash up to 4 stacks. I checked just now and at lvl 9 it's 0.81% x 4 which is 3.24%. At 20k hp that is equivalent to 648 dmg before water dmg and crit dmg i think? I dont understand the point of hp% scaling since it's not worth it on him. i wonder if they removed the hp scaling on the burst so jade cutter it's less competitive with his 5* sword?

At least fav weapons are pretty useful unless you got r5 of each. Rolled my 5 shop aquaints and got gorou c0, then rolled gorou's first ascension fate and got sara c0. Nice to get 2 new characters but no plans to use them so i wish i got a fav weapon instead lol.
 
Raiden's banner is lookin pretty nice. I have low constellations on Bennet + Don't have Kujo Sara at all so those will be some nice pickups for me. Already pre-farmed the boss for her ascensions.

also xinyan is there too i guess. every banner has to have a piece of turd on it lol
 
Funny, the 4*s actually killed raiden's banner for me, My bennet is c5(6), i got sara on standard and i have zero intentions to roll for xinian. I was hyped and already leveled a wavebreaker spear i got on the banner for xingling so raiden can have the catch but i dont wanna risk too many rolls on 4*s i dont need.

The fact that next banner will VERY LIKELY have kazuha AND venti, also makes me want to play safe. There is no proof they're coming but the leaks for the next main event make me think it's happening.

(albedo will be there too but he had a rerun soon so he's unlikely)

Excluding Raiden, Benny is probably the only good one I can think of as a unit. But I'm an F2P, & I don't have enough to go on for a 4*. I used Sara at the time of that Dungeon Battle event & I think I don't know how to use her at all, or she was just kinda shit in general, probably the former.

Hell, I don't even care much for the Raiden either honestly, I don't like Polearm characters much. The only ones I use are Zhongli for his shield & slime slaying (I gave him Black Tassel) & sometimes Xiangling cause my Ganyu or Beidou may not help. This whole banner is pretty much Itto all over again.

Kazoo does look great from what I've seen, & I kinda wanna go for him, tho I don't have guaranteed pity & I feel like I could save for more in the future.

Kazuha is honestly one of my favourite characters to play in Genshin. Sure, he doesn’t have Zhongli’s Shield - still think they regret the buffs they had to give Geo btw - but between his Skill drawing in enemies and setting up a plunge, the Anemo Artifact Set lowering enemy damage resistance to whatever you swirl with, and the fact his passive gives him stupid damage off of EM Scaling?

If I have to farm a bunch of enemies, and honestly don’t feel like trying that hard, I break him out and go to town - granted he stays in my proverbial A-Team with Klee for incredibly stupid amounts of damage, but I honestly prefer him to the Anemo Traveler

I feel like Kazoo may be the best Anemo unit in the game, alongside Jean. I want to go for him with the few gameplay I've seen of him, eventhough ironically my most wanted characters (that I don't have) consist of Geo (Itto & Albedo). They do regret giving Zhongli the all (except Oceanid) deflect shield, why do you think Rifthounds are so cancerous?

Weird part is, I probably don't have neither artifacts, nor weapons to make Kazoo work, but he seems fun to play. So I feel like everything else is secondary to me.

Honestly, anything is better than Anemo Traveler. Like, Sayu is great by the fact that she's the closest thing to a vehicle the game has at the moment & also the best thing to fuel the Parametric Transformer, but controlling her is a nightmare on mobile. Yet I still prefer her over Anemo Traveler. Hell, I didn't even activated the 3rd Anemo constellation until a month later cause I suddenly remembered it.
 
Isn't Ayato coming before Kazoo ?

Shame Sara needs C2 and only best at C6, she isn't bad a support for Raiden, in a team together with Yae too.
 
While rolling on shit, don't forget that a new region and a new element is coming up in a somewhat foreseable future. You might want to have some savings when it drops.

You can just craft a sword for him. And his artifacts are just EM main stat and some ER in substats, since swirls don't crit.
 
The final beta wave happened, only a few changes really

-Ayato c6 extra slash was buffed from 300% to 450% atk dmg. This is still a complete garbage c6 since it only procs once during the whole skill, argueably the worst in the game. His VFX also changed so he has a water sword during his skill and burst (not the sword you're holding).

-Yae's turrets were changed from targeting random enemies to targeting the nearest enemy to the tower. I dont know if its a buff or not but it might impact her elec aplication against groups.

Also, i forgot to mention but ayato's burst buff that was changed to +20% normal atk now affects himself, meaning you can use his skill during his burst and not waste anything, altho that sounds counterintuitive with his new passive that gives energy off field.

Sadly, i think i'll skip ayato, he's not what i need rn and i personally find his animations extremely lazy and weak, it's just a bunchf of quick draws with no impact. I see a lot of wanters being upset about him being weak but i think they need to stop expecting him to be a hyper carry and try to find what works. Most people dont even have yunjin.

either way, some WACKY completely unrelated news that probably should be on the community thread instead

That one might be iffy either way - granted, it doesn’t change the fact Miko’s best off with Raiden, both to fuel her burst off of Electro Resonance and Raiden’s Skill proccing on her Turrets. Does somewhat limit team builds a bit having to build around that resonance - I’ve still been using Yoimiya and Qiqi with those two - but that might somewhat up her TTK depending on placement.

As for Ayato, depending on who’s on the Part 2 of his Patches banner - is it still assumed to be Venti and/or Kazuha? - then at least we’ll have something to look forward to for the patch. It’s looking like Ayato might not even be worth the BP Rolls at this point.

Next patch has

-anemo bonus on abyss
-floor 12 with a lot of light mobs (finally cc is good)
-event that features venti, kazuha, ayka, albedo and xq
-event furnishing that has venti, kazuha, xq, ayaka

So yeah, either venti or kazuha are pratically a given, with ayaka also being extremely likely. I dont think we are getting 3 reruns again so if i had to guess it will be Ayato first and Ayaka + venti or kazuha.

ayo, i was wondering what was up with moderators stepping down or just leaving without a word. between that and yanfei main's announcement about how kids can't consent recently, i'm kinda glad i left wfp's moderation team early on last year but i sure am curious what's going on in their mod chat
 
Raiden's banner is lookin pretty nice.
>decide to do another quick 10 pull before logging out
>yay, 5*!
>raiden c1
>mfw rolled on the wrong banner

also got like 3 bennetts already, which ofc is the once char I already had at c5....

it will be like dragonspine or enkanomiya, you clear it once and never go there again besides the boss they probably gonna put there, which you have to farm for the free dendro char so you always have at least one char to do dendro puzzles with later on in sumeru, or artifact domain you just port to directly.
depending how long you've been playing you either sit on on 100s of the needed mats already or it's something nice like whopperflower nectar which like half the characters need and you have to farm specifically since it's not an enemy you encounter often while doing other stuff (always a good idea to farm that shit early, especially when you push chars to 8/8/8 which needs 30 blue nectars for 6->8 alone)

No, I meant Sumeru and saving some primogems. Free dendro character, I think, wouldn't be very useful. But banner dendro chars might.
it's pretty much guaranteed we'll get one so they can design puzzles without requiring a dendro char behind a paywall or having to wait weeks for a re-run (jury's still out if it's yaoyao for those klee whales or baizhou for fujos). sumeru, if they keep up with their schedule isn't dropping before september with the second anniversary.
