Rosaria, Jean, Amber, and Mona are having their designs censored in China because of "State Review". These outfits will be available as alternate costumes outside of China and won't be replacing the default skins. But still holy fuck lol

Here's a comparison:

Honestly, Rosaria is the only good one due to me being a sucker for black color & spikes. That said, the lack of fishnets annoys the fuck out of me.

Jean's outfit is kinda good due to it being classy, but still not an upgrade by any means. Amber is literally looking the same honestly, & Mona just looks downgraded.

But remember, this act of censorship could be the future, imagine another outfit change:

wtf, they're restricting camera movement???? i get the outfit change but i liked taking screenshots from all kinds of angles while gliding, this is stupid

You can almost smell the china censorship from miles away but fuck it, it looks good so if it doesnt cost money i'll take it. I can see the next characters being fisch and maybe lisa.

Rosaria’s looks edgey as fuck, but it’s hilariously the one I like the most. It’s got that Shadow the Hedgehog aesthetic

If MHY wasn’t looking to move all their shit out of China before, this might’ve been a good sized kick in the ass to hurry that up. Least they aren’t also forcing the change outside of China, but I feel like that’s robbing us of another Chimpout…

China stops most of their major companies from moving away. Can't run a nation on slave labor if they all just move to greener pastures.
 
Welp, did my wishes for the BP, got Shenhe and Xiao within the 50 I had stored up. Thankfully I already have Zhongli and Ganyu, so I can just focus on saving up for Yae Miko and… whoever else they add in 2.5
 
Looks like they've already started the censorship. Not 100% sure but I think these are live in the CN version right now. Absolutely slaughtered Mona jfc

Edit: Oh yeah also I got Shenhe in one 10-roll after losing the coinflip to C2 Jean lmao
Not a singe Yunjin though, even though I threw in like 4 extra 10-pulls after getting Shenhe

Camera still works but the character becomes transparent if you try to upskirt. Might still be visible in camera mode i dunno. Also only applies to china.

btw yae skills and scaling leaked already leaked

notes:
-low combo scalings: Yae is NOT field dps and i leakers who told you to farm shimenawa lied
-burst is 90 cost 22 cd, and 2000%~ scaling on level 9 with 3 totems. You probably want emblem.
-Her first passive skill reduces skill cd by 1 every 1.8 secs when someone else does skill dmg or burst dmg.

tl;dr: Yae is a quick swap turret spammer who synergizes so much with raiden she almost feels gimped without her. Without raiden, albedo and fisch are the only ones who can do skill dmg consistently enough to lower her skill cd.
 
And here I was thinking Spectre’s couldn’t get more annoying - they have a Cryo Variant now. Because that’s what I want to fight in an area that’s 90% water - something with an Ice based homing attack.

Fuck Spectre’s, worst enemy in this game

E - there’s Pyro ones too. Fuck everything, I hate any character that requires Spectre Drops now…

There is a new free weapon in 2.5, it's literally a clam shaped catalyst making it very likely that a kokomi rerun will happen... but the weapon itself is kinda weak on kokomi. It has high base atk, low atk% and gives 24-48% ER for 10 seconds after you use your skill. Not that great but can probably work on mona (converts ER to hydro) and maybe yae with emblem set.

btw btw: There is a new enemy in 2.5 beta that is literally a dark souls knight and they have the power to buff themselves if they hit you while you are shielded lol.

It's like the devs realized corrosion didnt stop shield meta because it makes no difference in how fast you kill the enemies. But with these boys, having a shield makes you actively take LONGER to win because enemies will shield/heal themselves. This is obviously an enemy created to holdback all the incoming zhongli havers in abyss, but it's such an extreme method it puts all geo characters in disavantage.

Like, you cant even bring a solo geo albedo cause your cristalyze might make enemies heal/shield themselves. Double funnier cause albedo's skill cant proc on shield dmg either.

I wonder if this also applies to beidou and yunjin counter shield? If so they that's kinda sad tbh =(

And since the new zone happened, i explored it for a few hours with my brother and damn, everytime i think the game cant look prettier they do it again! Enkanomia is so beautiful and sounds amazing and there is hlichus here despite making no sense but who cares this game is great!

(still waiting for zhongli, somehow i got FIVE GEO goblets of tenacity but not a single crit helmet)
 
I haven't been playing the game much at all lately but jumped back in for this banner and them locking Shenhe's mats until the end of the new area is horseshit. I know this isn't new but this feels like the most egregious its been due to the amount of preamble, even with Raiden it was at least a single island that you only had to use those door things to get from the island to the floating rocks. I really like the look of the new area too and its pretty different which is great except for the fact that I'm incentivized to just blitz through the main quest, ignore everything else and find the quickest way to the blue icon on the map. Its been brought up before when Inazuma dropped but I still can't imagine just getting into the game, getting whoever off a banner and then finding out it will be another 20-30 hours of game before you can do anything with them.

When Inazuma was first added and many rolled for Ayaka, a teleport shortcut was added that sent you straight to the new boss that dropped her materials so you weren't blocked from farming her materials until you did the exploration and unlocked the actual path to the boss. I have no idea if that's still present if you haven't yet solved the puzzles to access the boss properly, but we may eventually see similar shortcuts in the future so people can at least start getting materials in regions they don't yet have access to.

Now I'm even more conflicted between Zhongli & Ganyu, due to being more heavily on Ganyu's side with this enemy. Hell, Beidou is my main DPS, I'll be fucked with this.
