Genshin Impact

Kinichi still eludes me but I'm interested in Thoma now.

Elemental burst shielder. So it requires him to build at least 250-300% energy recharge at constellation 0 and solo pyro unit. Having his C4 and an additional pyro unit in a team will lower the ER requirement, maybe around 180-200%.
The rest of stat building goes to HP (tank support) or Elemental Mastery (Burgeon damage dealer). In case of having Favonius lance, then you should use a Critical rate circlet, make sure having more than 50% critical rate in total, 60%-70% is okay amount. If you are interested in any kind of dendro reaction, it's best to save for Nahida. She's in second phase of next patch, late Oct - Halloween.

It's basically this, using his elemental skill -> elemental burst -> swap to any other character (dps). As long as you do normal attack during elemental burst duration, his shield will keep stack up more value (more tanky) and does additional pyro damage. Otherwise, his shield is kinda paper thin without NA during elemental burst. More detail guide is here, more reading.

A little bit of annoying tone was there in my previous HSR post, but that because it triggers my memory of Reddit opinions on the thing. It was 50/50 and revolutionary larpers, somehow immediately casting Bronya as bad person - power hungry - dictatorship - authoritative worship, yada yada... I'm not saying you're are the same as those morons.
Other than that, go for Natasha's quest. It has similar dilemma in Natasha and you about a certain person. The one of previous Supreme Guardian side quest and then lastly the museum management. Especially ending of the museum in player choice.

Idk if I'm losing 50/50 that much or being quite conservative with rolling due to high pity. Probably both, only Navia and Lyney have their sig weapon. Both required losing two times relatively early (20-30) to get the sig at nearly 70 pity. C5 Dehya was from 5.0 launch reward and the recent losing 50/50.
C1 Chiori was me trying to get Gorou C6.

I did kinich quest today and it apparently everyone hates how short it is but i liked it.

I think it's because it being typical focusing on something else rather than Kinich himself. Comparing to Mualani, it feels rushed or not as dedicated. Despite entire Mualani story is about friendship and journey. Unironically, highlight of Kinich quest was someone else, totally a real Inazuma person.
I remember someone was self-deprecating that, comparing between Kinich and Navia elemental skill. Kinich not only is less hassle to set up, but also does as much damage and maybe even more than Navia with 6 bullets loaded.

Oh I don't think Bronya was a bad person. I'm not at that level, I just initially considered it rather idealistic at the time.

Considering she actually vows to undo the damage from Cocolia, I doubt anyone with a functioning brain would consider her a dictator.

Side note: given that it's reddit, I could imagine it sparked some sort of Bronya war that got infested with shippers.

Good to know. And here I thought, you just hated all my posts for being long or basic or wrong or soemthing. It just sort of confounded me.

Anyway!

Other than that, go for Natasha's quest. It has similar dilemma in Natasha and you about a certain person.

I did actually do Natasha's quest. I thought it was pretty great story-wise. Didn't care much for Natasha's character at first but hearing of her past and her dilemma and the heavy nuances, really made me feel for her.

I also did Hook's quests....why does Hook have so many quests? Then again, I don't like Hook.

Anyway, that site is actually really useful so I'm bookmarking it. Thanks for that.

Edit: WuWa has its own Paimon clone. Oh joy.
She showed up in the cube by festival event and I just assumed she was a one-off thing. She is not.

And in a random change of subject, out of curiosity what are your characters in genshin? I'd like to get an idea but feel free to flex

Here are mine, I need to stop doing other things and just dump fragile resin so I can finish building all my 5*s, half of them don't have relics.

Damn only C0 hatsune miku with wanderer pull. That's a lot of tighnaris in max 2 years you're gonna have that c6 rapid fire.

I'm not sure why I play and maintain two accounts but I generally only spend on the first one which is older, but I don't really spend much in general hence why I have very few limited constellations save for Furina and Neuvilette because they were more valuable than trying to pull for whoever else was on banner at the time. Actually, I got pretty lucky with Furina's C1 because I somehow managed to get Sigewinne and her weapon and then C1 Furina with only like 30 pity.

I picked Dehya C1 for the 5.0 on the alt because I wanted to see how she improves and it's honestly kind of staggering how she feels like a viable unit now.

That Luka event was so long and pointless. I usually complete HSR events quickly, but that one took me days to do. I wish I had Genshin installed to post my characters, but I stopped playing so long ago. WuWa is undergoing maintenance, so new patch soon!

 

[Kaiserin1887]

out of curiosity what are your characters in genshin?

I had to split the images because the list was so huge. I've been playing since 1.1 yet I don't have every character. I don't want Eula, waiting for Shenhe to rerun and maybe get Clorinde on her rerun since I did a 50/50 with her & lost. The only 4 star I don't have yet is Charlotte. I'm grinding to get Kinich soon and going for Xilonen after.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

I lost my 50/50 of Shorekepper, but look who decided to show up.


Now, I have all standard characters.

[tetraterezi]

i pretty sure im a week 1 player with breaks when it gets slow (like at the end of a story arc) casual, almost a bad gamer. part of it is the OCD make me wanna build everyone and in a game like this it really handicaps you.
i think my luck is pretty good, but i barely grind, and im not a completionist. very average.

sounds good, the mualani tribe quest really dragged on for what it wanted to tell imo.

And in a random change of subject, out of curiosity what are your characters in genshin? I'd like to get an idea but feel free to flex

I roll for almost everyone, besides a handful of 5* I either didn't want (like childe because twat and clunky gameplay at C0) or was saving at the time (like emilie) I got most of them. all max friendship and max ascension with at least 6/6/6 too, usually C0 and no sig weapon. these days I really only farm the artifact mines since there is nothing else to burn resin on, and boy does it get boring, not to mention artifact management itself hasn't improved one bit since launch, the "changes" are mostly bandaids...

Kinichi still eludes me but I'm interested in Thoma now.

no idea how he fits into the natlan meta yet, but iirc there were some teams about being capable in burgeon teams. most people probably don't have him, let alone constellations, which is why I assume there's less notable discussion in general about him.

haven't played much of the new wuwa patch, mainly grabbed shore keeper (and damn that game is way to generous without having to go max pity. actually tempted to grab her weapon) and got a feel for the new zone. I really dig it, but I can see it's gonna give some people inazuma vibes.
I only stick to genshin and wuwa, but even that starts to get annoying. 10 hours left to do IT, and that shit is just as boring as artifact grinding. I swear if wuwa ever gets non-random echo stuff....

Edit: WuWa has its own Paimon clone. Oh joy.
She showed up in the cube by festival event and I just assumed she was a one-off thing. She is not.

she already showed up two times earlier, and people back then immediately got paimon PTSD. for now kuro seems to be aware of it and keeps her sleeping most of the time to not trigger more people. they'll probably keep her comedic relief/plot device when needed, like she has to eat all the final bosses to give rover new elements.
I think it's also one of those things where they cloned genshin too hard without thinking about it too much if it fits or makes sense (there are whole mechanics lifted wholesale which have hardly been used or none at all).

At the point of the story that I'm in now, fucking around with goofy but likable twat Aalto and Encore, she has only really shown up as a sleepy voice in your hand which I didn't think much about.

For some reason, my dumbass thought it was the woman you see at the start of the game.

But then I got to see her full furry form in the event and I rolled my eyes so hard, they almost got stuck in the back of my head. The last thing this game needed was weird furry bait, much less in the shape of a Paiman clone who can't even be Emergency Food because she's comatose in your hand dimension.

I think she's rather horribly unfitting considering the more serious tone of WuWa compared to Genshin's overall whimsy.

no idea how he fits into the natlan meta yet,

Me neither but I did see some out-of-context clips where he's hanging out with the Pyro Archon, Mavuika while she goes on an epic anime fight scene. So I'm guessing he's her aid or something.

It should be stated that I have not at all reached Nalan yet.

E: Oh and btw, how is Shorekeeper's gameplay?

Spoiler: Re: WuWa Paimon clone

Abby pops up on the latest story, but very brief. However, the Shorekeeper is apparently suspicious of her tells you keep an eye on her.

I don't blame her. She knows what's up.

Spoiler: Abbymination

Imagine if Abby actually turned out to be a villain in the end. That would be interesting and unique. It'd set them apart from Genshin for one.

Would it though? People have been calling Paimon celestia or the unknown god since 1.0

Interesting! If anyone has build suggestions, hit me.

Kinichi still eludes me but I'm interested in Thoma now.

Thoma is reaaally bad before C4, he has terrible uptime and needs +300ER to maybe stand a chance to self battery as solo pyro, but the only good support spear is fav with low ER and you're not putting crit on him. His personal damage is nonexistent outside of a burgeon comp and even his shielding isnt that great without C4 and bennet, but if you use bennet to battery him you probably dont need a shield.

I put him on 90 with full em set and 1/9/9 talents and c4 to play burgeon and he's straight up unsustainable, even with fav and ER sands. And i'm the only person in the planet who thinks Dori is underrated so i really tried to like thoma.

If all you want is a burn procer for kinich then just give him fav, ER sands hp and hp since he doesnt need to do damage, you can even give him 2pc exile 2pc emblem for more regen.

You dont have to reinstall genshin, you can just log in your hoyoweb account and see your characters, thats what i did.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Since I stopped playing so long ago, it isn't very large.

Really? Damn. But they haven't actually gone through with it, have they? I doubt they would considering she's the mascot for the whole game.

Anyway thread tax

The new HRS event is really weird. Nevermind the dialogue, it's apparently doing rubrics cubes?

I know people weren't too hot on the Luka portion of the War Dance but I quite liked it. Most of it.

Second half, I didn't finish. Just played enough to get the March 7th variant so I didn't have to endure Yunli and Yanqing endlessly bitching at one another.

I likely won't be finishing this event either.

Kinich I use Emilie + Xiangling + Benny boy
Thoma can work as a pure shielder or EM enabler. Just tell me what you need addressed or a goal
Kinich feels like he'd work well with Mauvika when out
