I'm almost tempted to roll on Childe just for more Yanfei constellations...but I'm essentially at pity and I've already got more Ninq constellations than I'd like, so no. I'll wait for Hu Tao.

Childe's banner has officially dropped

If those 4*s sound familiar it's because they're the exact same from Ayaka's banner lol. I got c1 ning c0 xong and c2 yanfei from Ayaka's banner but i never trained any of them. Hmmm Childe is cool and this banner is cool but i guess it aint for me again, at least for now. Unless i get sold me on those 4*s, gonna wait for leaks and next banner to see.

BTW they didnt put Barbara NOR noele on childe's banner! This means there is a legit real chance hu tao's banner is thoma/barbara/noelle so be prepared for it.

Jesus christ, itto's reveal got +30k retweets already. His club seems to be a skill/burst that enhances his attacks not unlike Noelle or the recent 5*s. From what i see online, everyone wants him to be a selfish main dps but he'll probably be a weird "support who takes selfish field time" like Yoimiya, Raiden and Kokomi.

Hot take (?) but Itto looks a lil too "tryhardy" for me, no interest in him at all. If he happens to be a really good solo geo support i might change my mind but i feel like he's only going to do average damage (until you get c2) and a need a geo battery.

I think Gorou being confirmed also confirms Albedo is coming next. Crazy theory but the fact that the final moonchase part is at Dragonspine and goes all the way inside the mountain made me think the devs wanted to force people into there already, meaningwe'll see dragonspine and albedo next.

BTW reminder that the battle pass isnt here yet so dont do your reputation quests yet! I'm tired of doing this same mistake over and over lol.

even worse, that banner has exactly the 4* I want - and the one 5* I'd want the least to waste my pity on. that's why that banner pisses me off somewhat, back at the ayaka banner I could excuse that combination was a one time thing - only for mihoyo to straight up copy it this soon. a ganyu or yae banner would've been literally perfect, and what makes it even more insulting that at this point there are chars way more in need of a re-run like xianling or even noelle (since it's been a while when they ran her like every second banner and new players want constellations too), but will now probably be on the banner with the 5* I want, while those chars now will take several months for a re-run (and to add insult to injury, yanfei isn't even in the shop rotation).

after the money raiden shogun made and that lackluster anniversary there really was no reason to pull this FOMO shit that hard.

plus diluc cucked my coinflip when I rolled till pity on the kokomi banner, not even c6 rosaria makes up for missed fishbarb and waifu drought.

Alright, but is Piamon actually a good character ingame or is she just comedic relief from the games bugs and story plot holes.

the best travel companion ever.

in the game comedic sidekick/pseudo protag since your character doesn't really say that much. if you don't binge the story it also isn't that bad with the jokes etc., otoh the writing is good enough that they're self aware, including the joke @ProfDongs mentioned; japanese VA might also add to that tolerance.

one theory I read was that japan rolls for looks, china for meta. that's why even kokomi seemed to have fared pretty well over there.
that's why I can understand the thirst, he looks like a shonen character, and when you compare it to all the twinks or lanklets in the game is the first proper "male" in genshin (although I'd still find it hilarious if the nerd baizhou would rip his shirt off during his burst sequence and turn out even more ripped). there's also the new law floating around which still isn't clear how legit and enforced it is.

now I want them even more to make barb/jean's dad a literal bara with beard, chesthair and everything, just to see what happens.
 
Big leaks today for fellow Geochads
https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1448360034774106112 - Gorou is literally fucking Geo Bennet, this kit looks insane if you use Albedo, Noelle, and/or Ning. I hope he lands on Albedo's banner.
https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1448314143983951877 - Arataki Itto kit. Looks like his DPS will be centered around his charged attacks or something? Looks really interesting.
https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1448343435203661835 - new artifact set. 2pc: Def Bonus, 4pc: Gives stacks of def/geo bonus on hit or when off-field
https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1448331636278370305 - new healer artifact set. Gives a healing bubble then does a big burst of healing and damage when it bursts.
https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1448356768300474368 - Dragonspine event next patch, makes albedo rerun look way more likely.

I'm not "in the know" about track records and who are reliable leakers but basically I've heard from a reliable source (some guy on 4chan) that genshin intel has been a reliable dataminer for a long time. Which sounds right, I see his name attached to leaks that end up being true all the time.
 
New healer artifact seems pretty lit. Depending on the radius, it could actually help a lot with some AOE issues that Barbara, Qiqi, and Kokomi have and let them flow better with a more active playstyle. Bennett's still going to reign over as the meta support, but this could be a fun alternative. (As long as the bubble scales with overhealing, if it just works on damaged units, it'll solve nothing.)

I don't use Geo characters much but sounds like they're getting a nice boost too. Noelle, Itto, and Albedo could get a lot out of the new artifacts and Gorou.

Genshin Intel is legit. They only report on information once it's in the beta, so no speculation. If certain aspects change in the beta, that's a different story, but everything I've seen them post shows up in game, just maybe with slightly altered stats.

Goddamn it, Gorou is literally a defense buffer that gives more benefits the more geo users you have on the team, he looks to be completely designed around Albedo+Noelle+Itto and nothing else which is hilarious since he does nothing for kokomi. This has to be most niche character in the whole game, at least Sara can buff others and use her C6 on herself.

Itto is looking like a Geo Xiao but with charge attacks and defense. His final hit gives a stack and his skill is a taunt construct (lol) that generates stacks. You burst to give yourself geo damage and geo scaling (lol male noele) and then spend those stacks on a boosted charge attack. As always, gonna depend on his numbers but sounds like all he needs is a geo battery and a shield to play selfish carry.

Itto artifact is literally free 54% defense + 24% geo damage that you're going to farm 4 times if you want to go full geo defense team. Kokomi set sounds very niche, heal to create a bubble that heals and does damage, but if doesnt work with overheal (it wont) then it's not going to be a good damage unless it's barbara healing the whole team with her burst. Watch the bubble do physical damage too.

The fact that the moonchase festival phase 3 goes through dragonspine made me think the devs wanted to force players to go there and get it done in time for the next event and i guess i was right. Very high albedo chances.

Potential hot take but i didnt like any of those? I dont understand why the devs want to push mono geo defense team so hard when shield+def makes you double immortal. Gorou sounds straight up wasted outside of mono geo and i'm not going to play that. Itto might be fine and strong but not what i need rn.

Next patch is looking great for Geo players but i fear it's going to be two more banners skipped for me. *sigh*

I kind of like what they're doing with Geo. Every other element synergizes with each other, but Geo is designed to be better the more Geo characters you stack on your team. The only big flaw this has is just that your pool for teambuilding is severely limitted. (Edit: also its not like you can't just slot zhongli or albedo on just about any team)
I'm thinking my new Geo abyss teams will be Zhongli/Ning/(double pyro) + Albedo/Noelle/Gorou/(NO or ToM user). Not interested in pulling Itto especially with so many other interesting banners on the horizon.

That sounds awful tho. No other character or element requires full mono team to simply work "as intended". Noele, Geo trav and ninguang are not optimal without resonance but they can still do their jobs. Gorou straight up cant use his final con if he's solo geo.

I'd argue only Zongli can be "slotted on any team" and that's less on him being Geo and more on rainbow shred + super shield + petrify being so universally useful, you're pratically gimping yourself by not using him. Albedo is flexible but doenst offer as much and has big weaknesses (cant hit barriers, might mess reactions, flower gets wiped), he only excels with geo resonance and potentially with gorou who excels with 4 geo.

If the problem with Geo is not being good solo with other elements then should make new characters work with them instead of against it. It might not sound that bad now but remember that it might take 1+ year to see Albedo and Itto again so what happens for players who get gorou later and have no 5* geo? Buff noele i guess?

Goro's skill seems to only hit once and leave a construct so ToM would be bad, NO would be better i guess. For your second team, anyone who doesnt need reactions to do damage is fine like Beidou.

btw Albedo's sword leaked and it's... even more specific than what i expected.

Also itto's. At least it gives crit damage.

h7e10gqxjat71.jpg


At least you can put itto's claymore on noele or xynian, Albedo's sword is straight up worse than 3*s for everyone else. edit: It might legit be worse than HoD too lol. At least it's a 4* and probably given for free on the event.
 
With the two incoming artifact sets I suppose that means that the Chasm is incoming soon, as we've got the last of the major Inazuma islands with no new domain to run artifacts, ergo they must drop from a new zone. Thus likely the Chasm, our Dragonspire 2.0 before our next major region.
