Was she your first 5* like me? Rest in peace (zombie joke haha but srs RIP). Welcome to the qiqi club.

If it helps, Qiqi has good base stats and a fast ok combo so if you got no one better she's worth using for early game. I didn't get that mad when i played cause i had no idea how banners and 50/50 worked.

Sucks too cause if you want to "optimize" i'd say not pick anyone in 5.8 as they require specific teams but you probably should roll some on ineffa's banner. That has Fischl + xinqiu and you want them ASAP, and if you get ineffa you can use them with her.

But yeah, perhaps take a lil break...
 
Well i am brazilian, but we have a different gambling addiction with is legalized soccer bets (people legit ruining their lives over here and politicians love it).



Her VA cursed upon hoyoverse and already said she's out so there is 200% she's already fired, we simply won't see it until Candace get actual screentime, which might take a while.

I know we love to see people get what they deserve but it kinda sucks how most of these hoyo replacements are much worse than the original VA's, presumably cause they recorded quick and in secret. Paimon's better but it's a low bar. Keqing, tighnari, kinich, argenti, etc all pale in comparison.
Yeah i mean i also see that shit happening in my country as well.
VAs being lower quality have sense since they are not Unionguys,probably people with no experience since nobody that is famous will risk annoying and making mad the Snowflakes and Commiefornians.
So hey,they can get better in the future and become greater with the experience.
 
Uninstalled Star Rail again. Got Archer so there's no point in keeping it around anymore. Going to install Genshin to use the stacked Primos I have left

GI: I love the mini anecdote event, but it's a bit frustrating that some lore's exclusively time-limited. Just binged a few yesterday for the primogems.
Thoma's mother being a Monstadt knight. He speaks about her that she'd enquired about the wine in Inazuma. He's got his own history with sneaking a cheeky drink in Monstadt when he was a kid. Thoma, Kaeya and the Traveller meeting in the pub to share tales over a drink when Thoma visits (right after his mum had departed for Nod-Krai. Kaeya meets Thoma for the first time and they share how to get in contact with each other. Kaeya's amused by the mischievous youkai and tanuki stories. Neuvilette pondering in the rain at a cliff overlooking a valley about sophisticated things. The daily exploits of Heizou.

It's all so wholesome and enriching. It's a shame I can't bring myself to get too invested in all the lore 'cause the game's way too big and the lore dispersed far and wide. If the game gets novelised once it ends, I'd read it.
 
In ZZZ I've been playing lightly (haven't really leveled up my characters past 20) but starting to play a bit more with a decent amount of pulls avaiable. The only S Rank characters I have are Harumasa and Rina, is it worth it to get any one of the characters from the current banner/next banner? I keep getting conflicted information on whether to get a main DPS or the a support character or go with Miyabi or Alice next week
 
I'm saving til Augusta and Iuno, so it's gonna be a loooonnnggg.
I lied just like Rover did. Hopefully the last time I get gaslit or guilt tripping in one character.
If anyone wanna know how long it was for me to finish her stat. Technically one day with lots of reserved mats were spent. Couple hundreds gold echo exp and maybe 60-70 echo modifiers.

Few more early Genshin (6.0 and maybe 6.1 I think?) leaks.
New terminology: Crescent is one Lunar-charged character in a party. Gibbous is two and more.

Artifact sets. Both sets give more Lunar charged damage if there are more different Lunar charged types in a party.
One with EM bonus and more Crit damage bonus for Lunar charged effect.
One with Energy recharge bonus and 4pc as EM bonus to all character in a party if there is one or/and two more Lunar charged characters in a party.
New artifacts.webp

Flins signature effect. Oh wow, a 5* electro male and burst reliant (male) that never has been a thing before.
Flins sig.webp

Flins kit. At least, E skill can give non-overridden Electro infusion. E burst is just doing damage depending on amount of Energy he has. More on full comparing to "half-full".
Flins.webp

Lauma kit, missing the Dewdrop (How to generate Dewdrop). Dewdrop is needed to boost Bloom related damage.
NA - CA - Plunge
Hold charged attack gives "centaur" form and can double jump.
Lauma NA CA Plunge.webp

E skill and E burst.
Hold E skill give an active AOE damage field following the player. Also gives Dendro and Hydro res reduction.
Consuming Dewdrop gives Moonchant. Using burst will consume all Moonchant stacks to Pale Hymm stacks. Pale Hymm stacks are used to boost Bloom related damage. More enemies hit, more Pale Hymm stacks are consumed.
Lauma E skill.webp Lauma E skill 1.webp Lauma E burst.webp

Passives. Giving Crit rate and crit damage to bloom damage.

Constellations
C1 gives healing capability and typical Natlan more "travelling fuel".

Edit: added Flins kit.

Nod-krai leaks are releasing and i fear the lunar gimmick is not as bad as i expected but not good as i hoped. It's kinda like nightsoul burst but more extreme.

It seems the nodkrai 5* dps that use a lunar reaction will enable that reaction by itself but they can only reach full potential by reaching "maximum lunarity" meaning having a second nod-krai unit as it's the only way to fully use the nod-krai artifacts and their own passives.

This means, for example, that Flins doesn't "need" ineffa as he can do lunar charge by himself but he needs a second nod-krai so the only options are Lauma. who doesn't work together since she's lunarbloom) and Aino, who offers nothing besides some unclear hydro app and small lunar buff at c6 (that ironically she can't use by herself).

This is not easy to ignore as the nod-krai artifacts are the best in the game. They require lunar reaction and 2 nodkrais sure but the main dps gets 80 em + 45 crit and the support gets 20% ER + provides 180 EM for the entire team, both together giving everyone +20% reaction damage. The EM boost is particularly insane, nothing comes close (instructor gives 120, is 4* and doesn't work off field).

This means you have an artifact set more RACIST than natlan's and severely gimps your team comps. Lauma + Nilou for example sounds awkward because you need Aino for the second moon and then you can't slot nahida since there is no healer, it has to be kokomi or baizhu or yaoyao. Hoyo is clearly aware ofthis as Lauma's C1 makes the blooms heal every 2s so you can skip a healer. Ofc, Aino will probably be replaced later.

Aino is also particularly underwhelming for someone who leakers kept hyping as "mini columbina".

Aino doesn't enable any lunar reaction and doesn't buff anything until c6. If her hydro app and damage is bad (hahaha dahlia) then she's a glorified artifact holder like kachina. I expect 80 cost burst and 3 particles.

This makes me fear that Columbina will not actually enable any moon reaction, she'll just be a hydro subdps that enhances them, which minds you is still GOOD because hydro is good but other nodkrais don't get that benefit. Ineffa, flins and lauma so far look like they do no damage outside of their optimal reactions.

Meanwhile non nodkrais (alice, durin varka etc) won't enable the set or lunar reactions. I also don't trust the durin hype at all. Either way it will depend on how bosses are actually designed and how much you need lunar reactions for them. I already regret emilie, i'd rather not roll every nodkrai 5* solely to counter one boss.

Also, flins skill cooldown having a unique rule that can't be reduced solely so he can't use thundering fury is sad. It's like they gave up trying to balance around it.
