Already Have a c2 jean, so there she goes in the "I will totally build these characters one day and not forget them" pile along with dehya and mona, I guess.
 
mizuki and jean aren't even comparable. jean swaps in occasionally to do a chunk of damage with her skill and has strong full-party healing and element cleansing with her burst.
mizuki is a swirl dps/driver who can't even use most of the best team members because she doesn't use normal attacks. her personal damage is very low and her anemo application is slow. both lan yan and sucrose are far better swirl drivers. her healing is also slow and single character only, so she's much worse with furina.

won my fourth 50/50 in a row and got skirk. pulled her with my last wish, the reward from completing the new archon quest. seems fitting somehow.
 
Time to endure Natlan. Joy.
Don't get spooked by the internet. Natlann is ok. Main story is a somewhat generic shoenen thing about everybody coming together and defeating evil in the end. Capitano is a highlight of all that. It is somewhat amusing to look at how they tried to portray a region-wide war, while maiking it so that phones won't catch on fire. Speaking of big war, I'd advise you to complete side quests before you progress story to that point.

Already way ahead of you. I need one world quest in Fontaine, but I need to complete Wrio and Neuvi's character quests and since I have Furina, I'll do hers too.
 
nope but i usually never expected anything from them anyway.

The thing is, this roulette is actively rigged/lying to you. They it spin with the gem rewards on but the gems are not ever obtainable until the final tenth roll (it says so in the detailed information tab). Most people will probably not read the detailed info and think they got unlucky when in reality they never had a chance to get gems on 9/10 rolls.

I got gems 4 out of 10 times. I figured it was weighted in favor of primos after getting 3 in a row.
They publish the drop rates and turns out 20 primos has a 10% drop chance. So getting that 3 times in a row is a 0.1% chance.

After getting Dehya instead of Skirk, I guess that's luck evening out in the most unsatisfying way possible.

By the way that one Saurian event is still going after like 10 months. It refreshes every patch or so and you can get all the same rewards each time. It's easy for some cheap rewards if you just check in a few times, but you can get some more out of it if you spin the roulette wheel every day or set an alarm for the weekly shop reset and buy some stuff with your coins before stock runs out (after like 2 minutes).
 
O good i thought it was finally a time to replace my PC but i guess it will still serve me well.

Edit:Huh standard wish i wonder how good is she
View attachment 7526377

She is an EM scaling swirl dps/healer who is bad at both and doesn't normal so she can't use xinqiu making her... bad.

But there is a new Electro charge subdps coming in 5.8 that improves the reaction and might make Mizuki more viable.

Edit: going through the Furina trial in Fontaine and goddamn I feel really bad for her, getting dragged and getting her emotions treated like a wet tea towel. Granted it's for a wider purpose but regardless poor girl needs a hug.

They tried really hard to make people feel sorry for furina and for once they pulled it off extremely well. It hits a lot harder than the generic "my friends are DEAD" that every other archon gets.

and what does the mizuki do

She's like a mix of sucrose and Sayu. She's EM scaling swirl dps + healer. Her skill puts her on a state where you move faster and shoot projectiles automatically. Her burst plops a thing that heals you if you're below 70% and attack enemies if you're above 70% (like c0 sayu).

Since she doesn't normal attack (can't use xinqiu) and doesn't group heal (can't even keep up with furina) she is kinda bad. She might get better over time as they're making electro charge specialists and a new automatic hydro would help her a lot. Her cons are also pretty decent for a standard 5*.

And now i'll say fuck it, and try to reroll an artifact. Lets see how it goes kiwis.

FUC it still rolled hp once... But it's okay furina escoffier fischl gets an upgrade.
 
Why those two specifically? I already specified every character gets the "EY TONE" treatment.
Their voice actresses left and I'd rather not have Candace voiced by a shithead because she's one of my favorites.
Candace saying, "Welcome travalah tah Ahru Village! My golden eye will watch out foh yas!" would objectively make the game better.
 
30 wishes and I already got Shenhe, Dahlia and Diona. Dont know if I should try for Skirk, since I also want Candace, or save for Mavuika, since my luck cant keep up forever.

Don't do my child Nahida like that....

Also I don't care too much about the new web event but I really love the music so that's the only reason why I'm bothering with it.
 
Considering I can play trashy optimization like MonHun Wilds just fine, so no problem in WuWa for me.

Katheryne
That was before I noticed Ineffa has Nod-Krai vision, rather than just her own robot capability.
Katheryne is a Snezhnaya tech, so pretty much the same with Ineffa anyway. But whether MHY wants to expand on this thing or not. I mean, looking at Sandrone.

IIRC the adventurers guild is technically from schneznaya too which is why Katheryne is there.

Scaramouche/the wanderer is also a "puppet" but a much older one made in inazuma as a prototype for one that can wield a gnosis. If you read the book shit in the game there's a thing talking baout how when scaramouche was younger his joints were visible but as his he "ages" he becomes more outwardly human in appearance. Going by this I'm going to be the scheznayan robot is either a cyborg or a puppet that's still pretty "new".

Or maybe it's the robot human "puppet" stuff mixed with the fontaine actual robot stuff, who the fuck knows. I need to get back to playing soon I've been too dead to play anything the last few weeks.
 
Septimont is really badly optimized. People suggest to lower the shadows, to walking to a specific spot. I found this vid that helped me.

Just basically run the game directly and not through the patcher.
Good Kitten! This is a godsend. Omg Calculator has his everything back and the lag isn't so horrendous it's like watching a stop motion movie!

Edit: had to turn off bloom though for two reasons: one, lag and two, looked like I was caught in the gay pride rainbow flag parade Rapture.

Well at least there's no lag anywhere else but the new area. It's better but still bad.

Edit 2: well we got the bitch. I still don't like her but her trial got me since she's actually very fun to play as.
sup ho.webp

Not gonna bother with her weapon. Saving all the asterisks for Lupa now. There's a lot to do so I'm not worried.

A bunch of 4 star LCs, new relics, new mats to farm and by Allah, a fucking skip button.

1750424051973.webp Firefly gets a skin, please spend money on the game with new packs.

1750424187747.webp
Blade, Jingliu, Kafka and Silver Wolf are getting buffed.

Archer is free and you can get his LC if you warp (golden tickets) 200 times. Saber is there too I suppose. New collab story and event.

You may want to reconsider that, her other options start at a 20% damage loss.

That said, Lupa looks fun as hell as well so I get skipping the weapon for a copy of her.

Rules for me but not for thee? Blasphemous.

Joking aside, yes. I might see if I can get Lupas weapon also because she appears hell of a lot more likable than Zelda-I mean Cartethyia.

Edit regarding that HSR skip button drama, here's my contribution.

Meanwhile everyone else is super happy.
