Sooo scaramuxe finally released and too bad for me he's fun as fuck but i have to skip him for raiden... My brother got him tho and we did some tests so if you want to roll here are some interesting trivia:

1-His normal attack projectiles go very far fast and are homing mid travel, as long as you're within target range. 4 of them per combo.

2-His charge attack is AoE and very spamable but not as fast the trial makes it look (that one has atk speed artifact). It's probably the best catalyst charge atk in the game, it has good dmg, is ranged/homing INSIDE the enemy, launches up and costs nothing during his flight. In fact i think against multi target you're better off just doing charge attacks instead of normals.

3-Skill gives him flight and personal multiplier for like 9~ seconds. You can move in normal speed or move slower while attacking, Dont expect to fly a lot tho, if you dash or go up you eat a chunk of stamina. It seems you only need to attack during flight to generate energy and he makes 4-5 per flight, which is pretty good.

4-Burst really isnt that great but it's okay fast aoe dmg with nothing special. You can actually burst during flight so you can use invincibility frames.

5-Wanderer legit has lower hp and defense than Klee meaning he WILL die very fast. Even in the trial you can get hurt.

6-A1 gives him 2 free buff on swirl which means he's to be played swirling two anemos and NOT on hypercarry comp with zhongli like Xiao. If you put him with faruza, zhongli and yunjin you're wasting his passive.

7-A4 gives him a free dash after some attacks so you can like, dodge and shit. Havent tested much yet but it sure feels like the dash still wastes stamina somehow cause it seems to end faster even with the passive.

pro tip: If you get knocked from the air and tap jump, Scara will actually wake up and go into combat in the air. This is never explained in the game and i didnt see anyone do it during beta either.
pro tip 2: tapping jump instead of holding will actually take you further up because it takes a fixed distance per tap.

Damage wise i cant tell but he's not going to be solo outdamaging Ayaka or anything so if you want a badass hypercarry husbando Wanderer is not that. Play itto trial and you'll see itto is a lot stronger but of course, that's from a 70 cost burst. Unless you have faruzan c6, he's probably not even matching Xiao either, which makes sense since Xiao is a lot more limited.

IMO Wanderer greatest strength is his zero cost range, flexibility and flight. He can pick VV and drive anything Sucrose can while doing more dmg and aoe, but he can also play anemo DPS on comps like freeze which sound highly cursed. If you want him with dps set, you can have a second anemo with VV and he can probably hit inside Venti's burst very easily altho it still sounds cursed. You can put him with yelan+/beidou and proc both bursts from very far while moving, etc..

He's wont be on the top of youtuber tier lists but he seems too easy to get value to be a bad character for me. He's also very fun of course.

And speaking of fun, weew lad the TCG is kinda fun too isnt it? I only played the tutorial fight but i really like it. Characters have their in game moveset so it's very easy to understand. A lot of room for optimization and once you get a good setup going it feels great to stomp the enemy. It's also a weekly battle pass goal btw, for now it looks cool
 
So what name did you guys pick for Scara, whether it’s trying to fit the canon, a shitpost, or sticking to Wanderer?

Kunimitsu, because it’s the opposite of Kunikuzushi and I don’t want him to be stuck with a meme name.

I found this out by accident, lol. I hope it isn’t a bug because it’s very convenient.

Question for the autists here that know more than me. I've jam packed my teapot with a metric ton of trash to crank out as much realm currency as possible. If I switch to a different realm layout and don't bombard it with trash, will I still be paid the same?

Yes. You're paid based on the highest amount of any layout, even if it's not currently being used. So feel free to jam one layout full of garbage to max out currency, then be artistic with the layout you intend to use.
 
I did all the monstat TCG fights in a row for like an hour and JESUS CHRIST i already feel burned out of this mode. It's fun but to play 30 matches in a row makes me want to not do it so soon and turns out they expect me to do to this EVERY DAY? Yeaaah gonna ignore this for a while i guess.

BTW the beta already started and stuff is leaking, you can see haitham and yaoyao profiles here,


tl;dr

>Haitham : is literally dendro keqing with green lasers.

-Strong normals, skill is one dash you can aim and burst is one circular AoE around you.
-Skill has 18s CD, dendro infusion and spawns "mirrors" that do their own dendro attakcs as you attack. If you have mirrors, your burst consumes and does more hits. His burst has 70 cost 18s.
-To get an idea, each mirror lasts 4 second and first skill cast gives 2, meaning he gets 8s infusion. A1 gives a new mirror on charge atk so he gets 3 for around 12s cd. If he doesnt have all 3 mirrors, he gets new mirrors, meaning your burst also gives you infusion and proper rotation might give you 100% uptime.
-He has the strongest sword normals in the game and his skill and burst have 1-2 atk-EM scaling.
-His A4 gives burst dmg based on EM but you dont want to fully stack EM like nahida since his whole kit is spread out.

>Yaoyao is kind of dendro sayu?

-Yaoyao uses spears and is weak at it. She heals with HP and ascensds with hp.
-Her skill has 15 cd and summons what i can only describe as "Yellow chikorita" for 10s that shoots explosive radishes to dmg enemies and heal you at the same time. It If your hp is below 70%, she aims at you, if it's above she aims at enemies. You can hold to throw too.
-There is no leak showing her burst in practice but it enhances the turret and summons a up to 3 more shorter turrets that also does dendro dmg and heals but if she leaves the field it stops. She also gets enhanced move speed and 50% dendro resist during this. I think this means Yaoyao needs to stay on field if you want decent good dendro application and her resist helps surviving bloom+burgeon but she already heals so the resist seems pointless.
-Her passive gives her an extra pet summon during her burst when she jumps and dashes every 0.5s. I think this means Yaoyao is supposed to keep jumping and dashing instead of attacking during her burst lol.
-Her other passive is just like sayu, not scaring non meat animals.

So yeah, i dont know if haitham is strong but i was hoping for something more unique and now that i got tighnari i realistically dont NEED him but if he ends up cool and strong i'll roll for it. It sounds like you can control his infusion time with proper skill, charge and burst management but i wonder how much it's worth on practice.

Yaoyao sounds perfectly functional, if only because she is a healer and dendro applier but i find hilarious that she wants to dash and jump around on field, as if to make it harder for you to use xq and yelan.



Edit: some codes, one is gems the other is foods

there's even an achievement to fill up 3 realms. surprisingly all the furniture only counts towards one realm, so you get everything available again in another and don't have to craft more for it.

I played with fire trying to get a single layla and got an early 5* for once
all I wanted was c1 for the 20% shield strength, ended up with 1 extra bennett, 3 heizous (ok) and yae miko. then got 1 extra yanfei, 2 gorou and 2 itto while pulling for a single faruzan (AND ANOTHER FUCKING RAINSLASHER). life is pain.

luckily I pulled before doing the event and the new chapter, otherwise I might have rolled on scara's banner. as much as don't want that cuntwaffle in my roster, his gameplay was fun as fuck (misty dungeon was always the best to get a proper feel for characters you don't own, that shit made me roll for way more chars than I want to admit). faruzan's gameplay also feels less scuffed than sara.

now I need to save up for yelan, nilou and dehya (prolly skip the first run since she looks less like 5* xianling and more like pyro chongyun).

BTW the beta already started and stuff is leaking, you can see haitham and yaoyao profiles here,
usually I'd say yaoyao never, but there was this little tidbid during the TGA trailer:
DENDROLOLI IS FUCKING REAL
also just noticed the fucking thumbnail, way to spoil the surprise mihoyo. watching it live I had to laugh for a moment showing unexplored waypoints till they showed the beach from a new player perspective *wipes away nostalgia tear*

Not gonna lie, I can see the TCG being a fun party game in person
besides the genshin branding there are already more analog 2player cardgames than I could count (check hero realms for example), for party which is more players I'd prolly pick something else like mascarade or resistance.
 
If anyone here has Amazon Prime, they're giving out codes every few weeks until May. It'll probably add up to a wish or two overall, and "any player that redeems 4 or more drops out of the 8 drops will receive a custom in-game reward at the end of the campaign." So get excited for an Amazon themed piece of furniture or something.
 
the new abyss is rough, especially if you don't have a geo dps built. they're really pushing itto for this one
abyss.jpg
by far the most difficult one in recent memory imo

you can bruteforce it but anyone with a newer account and no geo dps will have a bad time

I dont think it's THAT hard, the real problem is that it combines hard dps check for first half with very specific element/flight/heaçer/AoE check for second half and many people might not have that much coverage.

Like, you need a Geo for wolflord but you also really want kazuha and a healer for 18 wolfies and those 2 are never paired together so it took me a few tries to register it. I actually did a team similar to yours but with ayato+ganyu freeze and no healer. Ayato himself did nothing against wolflord tho, that was 100% ganyu+kaz.

If you know the trick of placing the pillar on the skull without despawning (counts 2 hits and pulse finishes it) then zhong can easily break all 3 in 10 seconds.But you're right tho, a newer account without at least a ninguang/zl, yae/ganyu and kazuha is going to struggle a lot with the second half.

What i dont get is how this Abyss was supposed to sell scara/wanderer as a unit since he doesnt excel at anything in either chamber. I mean, he can fly and easily hit the wolflord but that wont save him from the 18 wolfies or the hyperagressive grass chicken. The previous abyss had wolfs, husks, double lawa and hyperagressive bosses so he didnt excel at it either. I think i overrated how safe his flight is on practice because it seems like anyone can hit him up there and he legit has less HP and def than Klee so everything drops him to red health.

i didn't know that actually, i just killed them manually and it took forever lol. i think i finished that chamber with like 12 seconds to spare. it's been so long since i fought that boss that i had completely forgotten that phase was even a thing.
the abyss cycles have been a cakewalk for months though so this one kind of came out of nowhere.
 
Alleged 3.4 banners from reliable (TM) leaker:

First half haitham+xiao and Foliar sword + Jade spear

1671293065824.png

Second half Hutao + yelan and Homa spear + aqua bow

1671292953495.png

If it's TRUE then i have to say

1-The second weapon banner is stacked lol. If you dont have any 5* spear or bow then that's as good as it can get for 2 dps weapons.

2-Ayaka is getting a skin but NOT a rerun??? Leakers also say she is on the next event so she will appear but it would be very weird to make the first limited character skin and no give her a banner. On honkai, when someone gets a skin they always give them a banner and push meta usage. When Diluc got a skin, the abyss was weirdly tailor made for him (if i remember correctly).

3-Itto getting 3 runs and Xiao getting 2 reruns before Shenhe got 1 is soooo funny for some reason. She'll probably run with ayaka in 3.5 but if dehya also releases in 3.5 too so she will lose her spotlight again.

Big losses for me either way, i think i'll have to skip haitham cause i cant afford to lose Yelan again, i already had all her mats pre-farmed and only passed cause i burned 200~ rolls on weapon banner so i couldnt spare anymore before kazuha.
 
I wish best girl Eula got another rerun instead of Hu Tao and itto.

Also I see Mtashed quit again. Dude is shaping up to be a massive lolcow
 
I used to want Hu Tao, but as time went by I stopped caring. I realized that every time I played her in a demo she wasn't any fun for me. Maybe if they had ran her 8 months ago I would have impulse pulled, but I'll probably skip the character banner and roll on the weapon banner for the first time in over a year.

same, plus I got plenty of other's pyro units who are also less "hassle" to build and play. but oh well.

prolly the one after it with senhe and mika or whatever he's called. otoh I think that's lantern fest, so who the fuck knows. just hope I can save enough for yelan, and then maybe dehya (nilou re-run is probably months out anyway).
 
Genshin is probably one of those games that wouldn't be so fucking vile would've been better if it wasn't in the public spotlight, and wasn't controlled by a scummy company that is Mihoyo. It's honestly a shame that this game is severely hated by everyone because of its severely retarded fanbase. Personally, I think the cute mythical Chinese theme and the setting is what makes Genshin so unique. Also Lisa, Ganyu and Yae Miko are best girls.

I like the game, I just make it a point to avoid 99.9% of the Fandom surrounding the game. That 0.1% is basically here, where we can also just shit on it when it does something worth shitting on without getting dogpiled.

It’s a case of the right game being in the right place, at the right time. Add in a Modern Game Dev that actually seems to give a shit - a fucking rarity these days - I’m not surprised the games blown up like it has. Even if it attracts the worst of the Fujo’s and crazies…
