[odd thicket]

By other constructs

Remember the chasm geo resonator puzzles ?

[dense moss]

yes ik

tho that only works cause of ZL pillar

which does zero dmg

[odd thicket]

Kachina unironically solos

She also has higher scaling i think

Than ZL and Albedo

And her C6 is pretty cracked

[dense moss]

The pros of being a 5.x character

even as a 4* you dunk on the early characters

[odd thicket]

Yeah

Ororon putting Beidou out of business in taser teams example

All natlan 4* are good except Ifa

[dense moss]

Unironically

Ifa is just better mizuki

[odd thicket]

no lol

he is far far worse

Have you seen Ifa heal ?

Mizuki for her all her faults can drive Furina

and also has decent Cons

Ifa C6 literally is a 50% chance of even functioning

[dense moss]

Yes but

Ifa can normal attack so he can use yelan and xq

[lost quail]

I forgot to add that the reason why I asked about how long Xilonen has known Mavuika was because someone said Mavuika knew the heros before they were born.

I’m like

“Bitch what?”

[dense moss]

Nope

She didn't

[lost quail]

I’m over here like “where did she say that?“ they said somewhere in the speakers chambers but when I went there

I didn’t see nothing

[lost quail]

“She’s known all of Natlan hero’s since they were babies”

Bro imagine being loud and wrong ..
But now I need confirmation cuz my brain hates not having answers

But I trust you more than this fool lmao

[odd thicket]

Fair enough ig
And ororon can reliably activate
But ifa cannot support furina alone so thats a bummer

[odd thicket]

What app is this again

Tiktok?

[lost quail]

Pinterest

[dense moss]

Just use furina on the other team

Also mine could

I have c3 furina

So she can get max fanfare with anything

[odd thicket]

Not with Ifa

Unless he uses PAmber

Ifa heals is 1 pixel per tick

[odd thicket]

But yeah

He works fine in furina less teams

[foggy hound]

really hoping they don’t try and link EVERYTHING in bod Krai

Part of what makes genshin good is the ambiguity of some things

[lilac coral]

I think it's nearly impossible to not leave some threads loose in nod krai

But it'll definitely at least be a massive lore and info dump from the looks of it

Possibly even more than any other region

[queen prawn]

I don't think it is possible to link everything to NodKrai,best they can do is link the faction present

[odd thicket]

Other than the Khaenria'h lore threads from throughout the game, everything can be resolved in Nod Krai tbh

oh, and the dragon and Shade + PO lore too

The big three

[topaz anvil]

need bennett’s lore

[foggy hound]

I just mean in general they don’t have to tie EVERY loose end

[lilac coral]

Ye

[lilac coral]

But if they try, then that's probably why they're taking the entire patch line to do it lol

[lost quail]

Whats so special bout Bennett?

[reef axle]

...context?

[lost quail]

I’m sorry! I mean his lore since someone mentioned him in the conversation

I’m simply curious

[reef axle]

Incredibly unlucky (implied to be part of their fate, so cosmically unlucky) and possibly born in the Mare Jivari (at the very least, he was rescued as a baby in Natlan)

Admires Fischl cause he takes her chuuni stuff at more or less face level

[lost quail]

Huh… I didn’t know that

[reef axle]

Also considers the adventurers in the adventurer's guild his "dads" because he was raised an orphan

But yeh, that's pretty much all there is to the character lol

Not a super deep character

[lost quail]

Bro casually has two dads we love that

[odd thicket]

he has more than 2

[reef axle]

*Two hundred

[lost quail]

Aww

[lilac coral]

Every older guy in the adventurer's guild he calls his dad lol

And yeah, his story was that he was rescued from some windless place (assumed to be mare jivari) that never really has adventurer's or anyone escape from it alive, the guy who rescued him brought him back to mondstadt and then essentially slowly died thereafter

And ever since, Bennett has been cosmically unlucky like Jake said

So a lot of us thought we might finally learn why he's so unlucky once natlan released but that ended up not really being the case

Especially since the caveat to the people of natlan leaving was that they basically lost their memories/minds and not gain unluckiness

But we still don't know where he actually came from, why he was found all alone in what was probably mare jivari, how he survived as an infant there, and why he's so unlucky

So he's unironically one of the most mysterious characters in the game

[lost quail]

I’ve never heard Mavuika and Xilonen’s dynamic be described as sisterly until now

I don’t know how to feel

[lilac coral]

How come

[dense moss]

Cause they making out whenever people ain't looking that ain't sister behavior unless you watching some spicy anime

[lilac coral]

😭

[lost quail]

Help why is the universe not wanting me to ship them?

Gaphid

Save me

Also

This describes Xilonen

This changes so much

Perhaps sh3 just means she’s not the grandeur love expressing type

Which makes sense

[lost quail]

I have read that people can go from viewing each other as siblings to being more romantic

I’m aroace. I know nothing about that

Tsk oh

Nobody look at me

[dense moss]

No clue

[mental flame]

where he was found contradicts the description Mare Jivari has, which was windless and ash-ridden wasteland compared to disasters galore

[odd thicket]

pretty sure 5.0 world quest or 5.2 citlali quest mentioned Mare to have huge columns of fire storms, screams of the damned, and whatnot

Mare was changed after Sanhaj & Komporre made it a miniature leyline/ night kingdom and collapsed it

[lilac coral]

Oh right, I ended up mixing the two

Thank you

[dense moss]

damn they giving me a big ass ramp

oh

i dont get to ram headfirst into the ball

that's such a disapointment

oh no i do have to jump

[lilac coral]

lol

gaphid learning the mechanics of B U L L

[dense moss]

i knew he did that

but it's inconsistent because if you run off a ledge he does the jump by itself

but on this one i had to do it myself

also

da fuck do i do

he's jsut

standing there

i can't talk to him

wtf there's more than one

also found the quest it for some reason stopped tracking it

btw

what did do the holes

there's like 3 giant holes if you look all around

wtf did this kind of dmg

[lost quail]

Mavuika

She punched a hole in the sky

[dense moss]

i have a feeling she wasn't there

[lilac coral]

She did not for this specific place

She punched a hole in natlan's sky, however this is a simulated sky beneath the volcano in an area effectively separate from natlan itself and the sky you'd see there

[lost quail]

Ok

[dense moss]

And the sky is also fake but this one is giant ass HD 8K screens

embed fail ☹️

[lilac coral]

Probably because you're p2

[simple thorn]

rip

[lilac coral]

You need one more level to send images and for images to embed from links I believe

[odd thicket]

That is a hole inside tollan’s domain

You can see phlogiston leaking or through it

[lost quail]

“Arle doesn’t smile” what’s this then ,bitch?

[reef axle]

A mod, it looks like

[lost quail]

lol

Point is she does smile

She looks so precious
Wish she smiled more but there’s no much to smile about

[lost quail]

Does Pierro know about the HOTH and its function? I think she is

He*

My dumb ass

[reef axle]

I would assume the director of the fatui would know about one of its primary intelligence gathering agencies...

[lilac coral]

We have another 5* food item and it's ||a slice of beef Wellington||

[lost quail]

Just wanted to be sure

I’d argue it’s not only one of its primary ones but it’s best rn

Which is why it makes even more sense why it’s kinda hard to just

Let it go

But Arle seems to be trying to

[topaz anvil]

no drip?

or has the time changed

[lilac coral]

They haven't done it before the launch of the new patch in a while I believe

They've been doing it a little into each new version now

Unless the universe would like to prove me wrong again and have them post it in a half hour

[odd thicket]

They wont

i can promise

Drip market can affect the latest character's sale

although this time

it can boost the new character's

but hoyo wont take the gamble

[lilac coral]

Escoffier and ifa were revealed on march 31st it seems, but the version released on March 26th

[odd thicket]

and would release the drip market next week

[lilac coral]

So I guess wait until roughly this Friday?

[odd thicket]

yes

[lilac coral]

Or Saturday

[odd thicket]

or monday

we are in no rush anyway

[lilac coral]

Oh yeah, Monday

I just looked at the actual days, I was just adding 4 to Tuesday

But they've been on Monday like you said

[topaz anvil]

man i miss the previous pattern

[lilac coral]

Ye

It was nice to see drip marketing right before the patch to see if you wanna save up

But I guess that's not conducive with "spend your money now, think later"

Not that you couldn't just wait until it happens a week in, but who would do that

[reef axle]

https://youtu.be/1yMiRtdOVmM

Music kinda reminds me of Rather Be by Clean Bandit

At least the first half

[queen prawn]

The near end sound familiar

[lilac coral]

The intro scene, specifically the part with the random colors reminds me of the intro to ratatouille when he's eating the cheese and strawberry and letting the flavors dance in his head lol

[topaz anvil]

cant wait for beta leakss

[reef axle]

Soon™️

[odd thicket]

Tomorrow

[white nimbus]

Kit leaks are out

[odd thicket]

Yes

Mavuika on powercreep watch

[dense moss]

At least for Mavuika you aren't ultra mega super locked onto ||freeze|| i mean we already knew but damn they going hard on it

at least we got our first ||hydro shielder|| fucking finally

[queen prawn]

Skirk ain't powercreep someone who can do melt consistently

[odd thicket]

Mavuika gets locked to natlan units if you want dps vika

[odd thicket]

Skirk has 1.7x base multiplier on every hit

[dense moss]

you only really need Xilo

[odd thicket]

Mavuika has 2x forward melt on every third/ 2.5s and EM bonus

Mavuika burst numbers will be greater than Skirk yes

But skirk Na will be greater than mavuika

[queen prawn]

No aoe,she is just cryo Arlecchino

[odd thicket]

She has AOE

In NA and CA

[dense moss]

we dont know how much but yes the leaks say she gets extra range

[queen prawn]

There is no gameplay,how are you sure?

[dense moss]

so she might have a bit more aoe than arle

[odd thicket]

Descriptions

Iirc she might be similar to Jing Liu from HSR

Leaker was throwing her name arohnd

Around

[dense moss]

that was just people assuming cause of how her ult is described

[odd thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-honkai-star-rail-jingliu-gif-8327632593455954073

Looks wise theres similarities too

Idk about story wise tho

Only know skirk’s

[dense moss]

Jingliu's story is

She's Imortal

she went psycho

she fucking killed blade over and over cause he's also imortal and made him also fucking psycho and wants to die

[odd thicket]

She killed the gunslinger ?

[dense moss]

that's boothill

[odd thicket]

Oh mb

[dense moss]

Blade is the edgy fuck that wants to die

[odd thicket]

Mixing the hsr men

https://tenor.com/view/blade-hsr-honkai-gif-9905658494479851473

[odd thicket]

Yeah i would support her killing him too

He looks meh

[dense moss]

She claims she was training him if i remember correctly

bro did not deserve that

[odd thicket]

Ayaka and Arlecchino after Skirk

With the leaks going around for 6.x

[queen prawn]

Ayaka reach 100k with Escoffier

[odd thicket]

All the teased characters are men

I hope my man dottore doesnt get killed off

[dense moss]

Only in a Ayaka Nescafe Furina shenhe team

[odd thicket]

Skirk is looking at mavuika numbers

[dense moss]

Ayaka's actual dmg is not changing too much, but nescafe being able to use shenhe's quills does a lot

[odd thicket]

If her own talent% are decently fine

That is

[queen prawn]

Yeah, I will only compare fully invested team here

[odd thicket]

Skirk is E and Q unit like yore

[dense moss]

I refuse to get Shenhe

[odd thicket]

Yelan then

[queen prawn]

I use Mona

[dense moss]

ill just wait for Bronya to be the even stronger Cryo support that makes cryo even more broken than it will be

[odd thicket]

Bronya may actually die and get replaced

[dense moss]

ye im just throwing Xilo out and putting nescafe there

[odd thicket]

It would be boring if all archons we meet are playavle

[dense moss]

[odd thicket]

At least one must die

[dense moss]

shut your sinful mouth

[odd thicket]

No, i shall continue spreading the foul truth

[dense moss]

how dare you disrispect Da Bronya

[queen prawn]

If Tsarista is support,she will likely buff pyro and hydro more than cryo lol

[odd thicket]

Nah

[dense moss]

Dont you fucking citlali me

[odd thicket]

It would be boring

[queen prawn]

Escoffier, already exist,I don't think Tsarista can do anything else now,aside from being a DPS that outperform Skirk or Citlali 2

[odd thicket]

Also, bet on superconduct meta

[odd thicket]

A certain 6.x character may usurp that post too

[dense moss]

i dont mind if bronya is the Phys support to make Phys meta

[odd thicket]

But i shall hold my tongue as it is technically a spoiler for tomorrow’s archon quest

[dense moss]

She doens't need to dethrone Nescafe she just needs to throw Shenhe to the trash

[odd thicket]

5.8 has a hydro girl inbound

Wdk who that is

Also this reminds me

Dahlia dookie

[queen prawn]

Cryo Bennett?

[dense moss]

First hydro shielder fucking finally

is he a 5* tho?

[queen prawn]

4

[dense moss]

oh good

im good then i can just get him on Skirk's banner

[odd thicket]

Hes trash

Dont bother

[dense moss]

yer trash

[odd thicket]

Nobody would want him

[queen prawn]

He is decent teammate for skirk ,if he is in the same banner ofc

[dense moss]

He does give attack speed

but

skirk is meele

so atk speed is cringe

unless they give her no hit lag

which they might with the whole extended range thing

[queen prawn]

He is decent for Skirk if you don't have many hydro)cryo of course

[dense moss]

Considering im getting nescafe i have skirk's theorical best team

Shenhe probably aint as good as she is with ayaka

So yelan should be better

[odd thicket]

No like

Hes literally hydro venti

[odd thicket]

Yeah

It was always cringe

[odd thicket]

Shenhe gets buffed from skirk herself

[dense moss]

people are saying that cause they think his skill is the same but hydro

[odd thicket]

Skirk raises E level for everyone in a freeze comp

[odd thicket]

Yes
And his ultimate is his shield which works like baizhu

[dense moss]

she still wont sinergize as well with the quills

so i still wont bother with shenhe Yelan is good enough

Yelan is great

[odd thicket]

Coffee gives quills at C2 anyway
Or Citlali at C1

[odd thicket]

Fair enough

[queen prawn]

Too expensive

[dense moss]

you wouldn't use citlali for a cryo team tho

[odd thicket]

She works in freeze comps

[dense moss]

but nescafe C2 is neat considering how strong c1 is

[odd thicket]

You use her right after furina

[queen prawn]

Freeze don't really matter in Skirk team though

[dense moss]

C1 nescafe is similar to the dedicated element 4* supports c6

[dense moss]

yesnt

[odd thicket]

No its for Cinder City / scroll buff

[dense moss]

You dont care about the freeze itself

but you do care about only having cryo and hydro team mates

and i think the +1 skill is locked to "have only cryo or hydro, and have at least 1 of each"

aka if freeze team instead of mono cryo

[odd thicket]

Yes

[dense moss]

but the freeze itself is irrelevant

still fucking annoying that you can't keep the frozen aura on bosses

[odd thicket]

Its prolly for the best

[dense moss]

Sure im mostly using Ayaka with Mayonaise Hunter set instead of Blizzard but it does cut the cryo resonance

[odd thicket]

Freeze makes all bosses easy

[dense moss]

nono you dont get it

i dont care about bosses being frezable

i just want the elemental aura

to stay so the cryo resonance 15% free crit rate works

cause if you do freeze on bosses it wipes the aura completly

[odd thicket]

Fair enough

I echo your sentiment

[dense moss]

it kinda pisses me off cause they almost admit it when they talked about nescafe cause they talk about bosses being unfreezable

why not just keep the aura

[white nimbus]

Cryo resonance's 15% crit rate applies against enemies that are frozen OR affected by cryo. You can just reapply cryo again if the frozen aura gets removed

[odd thicket]

Annoying for units with high Hit rate like Skirk or Coffee

[dense moss]

every time you apply frozen it wipes the aura clean

so during that time any dmg will not be affected

it's very inconsistent

im not even asking them to buff anyone i just want it for consistency

plus it'd make Blizard Strayer also slightly better cause you could use the first part of the passive

[lost quail]

What??

What I do?

[odd thicket]

Not you

I meant the other coffee

[lost quail]

Ah

[odd thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/ayaka-bald-baldyaka-ayaka-tanked-genshin-impact-effie-gif-13767873713673133252

[dense moss]

Nescafe the hair stealer

[queen prawn]

Spin jitsu

[lilac coral]

Damn those are some wild cheats

[lilac coral]

So because of American laws, hoyo had to implement math on their shop pages to show you exactly how much you are paying for each intertwined fate (if you're on the na server, I believe, idk if it shows up on others if you're in the USA but use a different server)

It feels strange to see how much each fate is from various purchases lol

[odd thicket]

it does not show up on Asia

[reef axle]

Nice to see my napkin math for getting welkins is proven correct

Almost 5x more pulls per $1

[lilac coral]

I hopped onto my eu account and it's there as well, so maybe it's just an instance of them knowing what country I'm in lol

[lilac coral]

Yeah, welkins will always be the ultimate bang for your buck with primos/crystals

[reef axle]

yee, it's more just seeing the extent of it that's crazy to see lol

5x is a huge gap

[lilac coral]

Kinda funny how it's more cost effective to buy 5 99¢ packs than a single $5 pack

Yeah, the gap is insane lol

[reef axle]

could be factoring the bonus in

[lilac coral]

The only caveat being to log in every day

[odd thicket]

For the first time

I hate the VA strike

it ruins the experience without it

[lilac coral]

Considering it counts for the crystals on the other packs, I'm going to assume it does

[reef axle]

they went back and added Kinich's dialogue to the Natlan AQ at least (since he got a new VA)

tho the Traveler's still silent

[odd thicket]

Albedo of all people not having a voice smh

[lilac coral]

I'm pretty sure khoi was also in favor of the strike

Which might be why

[odd thicket]

Yes

[topaz anvil]

yare yare

[odd thicket]

I am skirkint it sooo good

It looks cool ig

When can we talk of the AQ

Here

[burnt wedge]

i wonder whats under mondstadt city considering they showed a cutscene of it

plzzz more mondstadt lore

[queen prawn]

They did?

[burnt wedge]

yupp

the fountain near that one windmill

[queen prawn]

If possible,can you show,I think I missed it

[burnt wedge]

i have no image perms sadly

[queen prawn]

Just dm me

[burnt wedge]

https://postimg.cc/7C40c1L6

[queen prawn]

Hmm

[burnt wedge]

two hilichurls were at the door but venti took care of them im assuming

my theory is it could be a prison or an entrance to underground ruins

since we have no underground ruins for mondstadt whatsoever

[odd thicket]

We likely do

Temple of thousand winds

Has a blocked door

[dense moss]

it's super pissing me off that Skirk is cryo cause her fucking icon for her ult is purple

and not like eletro purple, a special quantum/abyss looking purple

she has zero cryo on her animations

[odd thicket]

Yes

Unfortunately

The presentation does not help with the numbers

[lilac coral]

You can talk of it now if you want, you just need to spoilermark it for a week

[odd thicket]

Okay

[lilac coral]

Oh dude, they use ||something really close to that concept art of her everyone loved|| for her skill

That's wicked

And her animations are so cool 😭

I especially love the ||prismatic stuff like her tail and everything in her skill||
And that ult is just

https://tenor.com/view/the-emperors-new-groove-perfect-just-right-perfecto-okay-gif-17713931

I also really like ||Dahlia's|| NA streak

God I hope that he's 4*
||We have too many 5* hydros 😭 ||

[odd thicket]

He is

[lilac coral]

Thank God

[odd thicket]

||but hes trash btw||

[lilac coral]

Because it's like a 3:1 ratio at this point and it's absurd

[lilac coral]

Eh whatever

Her animations are so quick

[odd thicket]

Sad shes

Needing escoffier more than anyone else

At least mav has chevvy

[white nimbus]

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised about that

[burnt wedge]

we want mondstadt expansion

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[odd thicket]

never

[topaz anvil]

there are never really good 4* recently

[burnt wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/blue-thing-monster-house-stan-twitter-gif-3582191852739255936

bye i forgot i dont have perms

whatever

[dense moss]

ye cals are out and she's just Ayaka but with quality of life

[queen prawn]

Ayaka but cooler

[white nimbus]

It's only v1. I'm sure they'll buff her if she's only comparable to Ayaka

[queen prawn]

They likely will

But she is still not f2p friendly no matter what they do , Escoffier is just overpower

[white nimbus]

I don't like Escoffier so I'm skipping her

[dense moss]

im sure they would but imma be honest

while i absolutly want cryo to win

i kinda would love it if she WAS not an ayaka powercreep

but genshin powercreep is impossible to stop now

[queen prawn]

Would you be fine if she powercreep ayaka by a little,like 5k dps above ayaka?

[dense moss]

that's basically nothing so ye

[queen prawn]

I thought it was a lot

I was thinking 10k

[odd thicket]

Yes
But shes right below mavuika with premium comp

[odd thicket]

Ayaka premium is at 110k dps if everything goes right with her fuckass 2021 ass burst

Skirk premium is consistent 124k DPS

[dense moss]

Ayaka needs a lot of ER and to not fuck up

Skirk just needs to auto attack

[odd thicket]

Premium as in c0r1 for everyone

Except furina

[dense moss]

tho Skirk should work less well with Shenhe cause she can't switch

[odd thicket]

Yes

[dense moss]

but there's always yelan

which i have

[odd thicket]

Yelan not as good

[dense moss]

but good enough for me

[odd thicket]

Citlali oddly enough is great with skirk

[queen prawn]

Fr,her burst is so ass nowadays

[odd thicket]

Here

Skirk is a no no for F2Ps

[queen prawn]

In my ayaka team,Furina was the one doing most damage,she hit like 100k+ per crabbella and Ayaka do average 45k per charge,

[odd thicket]

Yep

Escoffier simply too cracked

Also

[dense moss]

i mean ayaka's dmg is all on the burst

[odd thicket]

According to abyss and IT data

We are getting biker soon

[dense moss]

biker?

mavuika?

[odd thicket]

PEAKvika coming in hot to save us from Lurk

[queen prawn]

Is it? I thought it was CA because I used to play someone else account and she hit 60k per charge,its insane to me back then

[odd thicket]

Yeah alongside Lurk

Crazy right ?

[dense moss]

Yes ayaka is a Ult character, her CA does a bit of dmg but barely anything important

[dense moss]

who

[odd thicket]

The angler fish we are talking about now

[queen prawn]

Lurk,Child master

[dense moss]

you mean Mavu rerun

idc

[dense moss]

im not touching mavu

[queen prawn]

And Surgeon,the sinner

[odd thicket]

Playable surgeon will be electro

Also

Have you seen Lurk’s ability descs

[queen prawn]

Yes

[odd thicket]

All having some synonym to catStrophe

Catastrophe

Ny prediction from half a year ago was right

The Narwhal Phase two knight is

Indeed a shadow of Surtologi

[odd thicket]

Y?

[queen prawn]

Because

[dense moss]

because

wait are they actually giving us a summary of the event that is fucking inaccessible now

or is this one not an event i forget

[lilac coral]

Yeah, this was the second one where we discovered that one of the albedos was an imperfect version like 2 years ago

So at least they give context for people who missed it lol

[dense moss]

genshin ffs

just make events replayable

both of your other games have that shit

both hsr and zzz allow major events to still be played

why does genshin refuse

[lilac coral]

Probably something to do with space

[dense moss]

at this point they are just being stubborn cause it clearly is important for the story

[lilac coral]

Considering the other two and how fucking big they are despite being out for less time

[dense moss]

ive said it before and ill say it again, they can make it selective downloads

[lilac coral]

Like with the voice packs?

[dense moss]

phone genshin already has that for world quests

you delete quest data after the quests are done

just do the same for events

and let pc users do that

[lilac coral]

Ah I see what you mean

[dense moss]

it is a similar system yes

they are just being fucking lazy at this point

and it annoyes me cause i know it's super easy to do

of course this 2 are friends

bet he knows the truth as well

yep

wait this is kinda a plot hole

if ||Dahlia knew, why the fuck did we have to sneak around and steal the harp in 1.0, venti could have just asked him||

ok i love this two bantering

[reef axle]

Venti: "Well yeah, but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun, would it?"

https://tenor.com/view/venti-gif-21911461

[dense moss]

The fact that that's something he'd say pisses me of cause they can use that even tho they just didn't plan for this

[reef axle]

"Ehe"

[queen prawn]

||because it is an important item,he still need valid reason to take it and give it to Venti, look at albedo,he still went on trial for murder despite them respecting him,who know Dahlia could be fatui spy(considering what was happening in Mondstadt,they want to kill Dvalin)||

[lilac coral]

Random question, but what exactly does escoffier do again

Other than shoot ice bullets from a literal flying saucer

[queen prawn]

Heal

Decrease cryo/hydro resistance by 55% in full hydro/cryo team if skill hit/do freeze

[lilac coral]

Ohh okay

So she wants freeze 100%

I always hated freeze so it's cool they finally made someone who actually wants it (sans the one cryo set that gives more crit rate for it iirc) lol

[dense moss]

she doesn't want freeze she just wants a freeze viable team

Hoyo is going the route of "make cryo dps like geo dps, ignore the reaction instead of fixing it"

instead of making freeze a good reaction

at this point i really wish they did more Nilous instead of more chevy

Nilou came and actually made her shitty reaction good
chevy and now escoffier just, ignore the reaction and give dmg buffs to compensate

i still went for her cause i want my Ayaka and Rizzly to have use but it doens't mean i like how they went about it

[queen prawn]

How is your grizzly now

[dense moss]

He hasn't changed

[queen prawn]

Yelan and Furina doing all the dmg aren't they

[dense moss]

Nescaffe doens't necesarily give him more than Xilonen in that team, but she herself does more dmg than Xilo and gives more healing for furiri

Nescaffe shines extra hard with Ayaka and Shenhe cause they can both make use of the quills

With rizzly his Melt teams are still more overall dmg, but his freeze teams are more consistent

and are better for overworld content

Nescaffe is really made for Skirk first and foremost and just happens to work extra well with ayaka by accident

If you want an easier way to understand

Escoffier elevates the team
but doens't necesarily Elevate the main DPS

[queen prawn]

[dense moss]

If we look at buffs alone, she's merely a sidegrade or even slightly less powerful than the likes of Xilonen and Kazuha
But the difference is Escoffier does a lot of dmg herself plus she has team wide healing which furina loves

[queen prawn]

Yeah true

Xilonen is still better for Neuvillete team

[dense moss]

Slightly i believe yes

I think Neuvi Furina Xilo Citlali might still be his best, idk much about neuvi idc about him

[queen prawn]

It definitely is,saw the showcase and Xilonen side complete challenge faster,at the end of the day,both can still clear fast

[dense moss]

it's neuvi

bro is powercreep incarnate

Now where is this

[queen prawn]

Teapot

[odd thicket]

Is there any site that helps in finding acheivements ?

I am at 1300 rn

And there are 210 more

[queen prawn]

You should watch video about hidden achievements,they are usually what you are missing ,using website isn't as good

There are hidden achievements for every map expansion so you will only need to search version with new area

[odd thicket]

Hmm okay

I need 70 pulls for Mavuika C0R1

Sadly

[lilac coral]

You can track which ones you have completed on paimon.moe and then just sort to see the ones you haven't completed yet

[odd thicket]

Hmm ill try

[lilac coral]

That's at least what I used when I wanted to get through the world of wonders achievements or whatever the first grouping one is called

[odd thicket]

@lilac coral

Can you out a limit on prankster level that can talk here

Rhine did what now

it's the fucking what now

wtf did venti give us it doens't even show

oh wait no it is on the bag i was just on the wrong tab

Free limited 5* wishing material locked behind 7.x

[odd thicket]

It is a wish

A fate

[dense moss]

a garanteed limited free 5* fate

[odd thicket]

Fate to summon abyss sibling as playable character

[dense moss]

the only 3* character in the game

[lilac coral]

Why?

[odd thicket]

It could limit the bot attacks

[odd thicket]

The only other*

[lilac coral]

This channel is one of the channels that gets regular p0s as well though

It'd cut down on the bots but it'd also remove a source of exp for users to level up when they first join too lol

And some people are only in the server for certain corners, or join for certain channels like art corner and our lore basement

They also get auto-deleted after a few minutes usually anyway, as annoying as they are when they're in the middle of a convo

[dense moss]

Ye im only here for this channel

i tried to be in the theoricrafting too but they assholes down there

too much math is bad for the brain

[lilac coral]

And we've had several people leave the server and come back as p0 and only use lore basement

I think Jenna's done it like twice now lol

Yall I’m crying.

“Arlecchino isnt androgynous”

Tells them the definition of androgynous, plus tells them she has a less feminine walking style, uses masculine title, and was intended to look nonconfoming

“Still not androgynous”

Then they contradicted themselves again.

This is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen

[lost quail]

I just finished my sophomore year of college

Expect this to happen again

Schedules finna be so bad

[odd thicket]

what is sophomore

[lost quail]

Second year of high school or college

[odd thicket]

oh

🧓

[lost quail]

Do you not have that?/genq

[odd thicket]

no

[lost quail]

I know countries are different

[odd thicket]

we dont use that here

i am passing out in 2 months and applying for masters elsehwere atm

[lost quail]

See we don’t use freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior until Highschool then it carries to college

9th grade is freshman of highschool
10th grade is sophomore
11th is junior
12th is senior

That’s where grade school stops and college begins but we still use freshman sophomore etc.

It’s all grade school until college

[odd thicket]

ohhhh

[lost quail]

Here it’s elementary
Kindergarten through 2nd

Intermediate is 3-5th

Middle is 6-8th grade

Yeah it makes things easier

Fun fact, in France, it’s in reverse
With 6th grade being the same

Or 7th i can’t remember

[odd thicket]

its so weird

we just use the numerical here

[lost quail]

It is!
I had to remember that for my French test.
I gotta get back on Babbel . I wanna be good at French again

Je suis…moyenne..pas mal mais pas bien aussi
mon français..est moyenne haha.. pas moi.

[lost quail]

Really?

Elaborate

[odd thicket]

1st year
2nd year
etc

[odd thicket]

i took french for 6 years (in middle to high school and a free credit at college) and never encountered thjis
or i forgor

[lost quail]

Ohh what country because I’m assuming European

[odd thicket]

no, asian

[odd thicket]

what is babbel ?

[lost quail]

Ohhh I forgot they do that there too

[lost quail]

Eh teachers are different

Babbel is an apple where you can learn a language

I used to use Duolingo but they’re using AI.

I learned a bit of Russian on there

Most I can say it

“Hello, my name is “

“How are you?”
“I'm fine”

I can say it but I can't type it

Expect for hello

[odd thicket]

ohh
another one of the duo replacements

[odd thicket]

it was horrid before but garbo now

[odd thicket]

it seems accessible if you are able to swap languages that fast

[lost quail]

Fr fr.

Next semester I'm learning Spanish again.

One of my goals in life us to be come multi lingual

Spanish
French
German
Russian
Ukrainian
Swahili
Thai

[odd thicket]

spanish is really easy no ?

i remember the relative grading for it being utterly fucked more than french

[lost quail]

Chinese
Korean
Japanese

Do you think I should shorten it? Lol

[lost quail]

I have one issue
I can't roll my Rs

[odd thicket]

tbh yeah
proficiency in one of these can take months and so many are utterly disconnected
learning euro- ones are prolly the easiest bet

[lost quail]

Ok

French
Spanish
Ukrainian
German

Leaving Europe
Swahili

[odd thicket]

eh you can pick it up

just stick it to your palette

[lost quail]

Eh..its strange, when I do a Russian accent, I roll my Rs fine. But when I do it by itself. It's hard.

[lost quail]

I suppose

[odd thicket]

you can try making funny car noises with rolling R ig

i am no speech pathologist but it could work

[lost quail]

I just spat

[odd thicket]

happens
you can do it with your mouth slightly open
and puffing your cheeks

[lost quail]

French was good for me because you don't roll your Rs that much when you speak. It's a throat thing.

I almost got it!

[odd thicket]

french is funny sounding to me and difficult to follow for listening from a native

the lack of R's make it weird

[lost quail]

It makes it easier for me to do it

I was scared out of Spanish

[lilac coral]

When I was learning, my teacher said you can hold the R and the point would get across

Idk how accurate that is though since every native spanish-speaker I've met can roll their R's lol

I can only either tap my R's or gurgle them like in French

[lost quail]

I hope that's me

I hope she’ll accept that

[odd thicket]

When is the spoiler on Paralogism lifted

[potent peak]

Alright, well, a year after it ended, I finally read the second half of R15 for GGZ

Man, this is such a hypocritical piece of fanfiction, even when coming to terms with the deusest of ex machinas

[odd thicket]

what is R15

[potent peak]

eh am just babbling

GGZ is Hoyo's first gacha game, right, where they introduced the concept of Honkai

it's split into a few parts, Retrospective is the first main part, Reborn is basically like the second main part
R15 is Reborn's final chapter

Typically in the lore channel specifically, we spoilermark for one week after release. Rest of the server: Two weeks cause they're fkin casuals

[odd thicket]

i have been dropping ||skirk and dain|| spoilers in #1369644231689502881 unintentionally
do you think that could get me muted ?

If ya keep posting em without spoilermarks, probably

[odd thicket]

okay

but #・genshin-spoilers is fair game right ?

That's what the channel is for lol

[odd thicket]

mm kay

[lilac coral]

Oh, yeah what jake said lol
One week here, two weeks elsewhere

[reef axle]

That do be one week after release

[lilac coral]

Fair game in spoilers channel

[lilac coral]

i like that paralogism is having us ||play as basically everyone at least once, from their perspective in this battle, including barbara being at the church and healing the wounded soldiers||

it's really nice

[lilac coral]

THE WHAT NOW FROM THE ||MARE JIVARI||???

i know it's such a small crumb, but i wasn't expecting that 😭

ohh, the first ingredient is interesting
i wonder if part of it was ||nibelung||? though, i guess that wouldn't make sense since albedo already existed prior to them finding it

i wonder if she got it from another one before then?

oh okay, regardless it was from the original one it seems

so i wonder why she specifically went ||looking for his heart after she'd already created albedo? the seemingly perfect homunculus||

[lilac coral]

i want to say, i am so glad we returned to dragonspine for this

this entire thing has been nagging me in the back of my mind every time i look at the mountain 😭

if this is how they intend to continue to explain and elaborate on their loose ends, then i am completely fine with that because damn

although, i haven't finished the quest yet either

[lilac coral]

i have so many fucking QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW

like ||is naberius the shade of life??? AND WHY DID GOLD "DEVOUR" IT?? did she find eternal life from it???||

so they're now ||one entity,|| but in what vain? like ||multiple personalities that switch on and off or they've come together and become someone "new"?||

[odd thicket]

Remember melusine telling that we are a dragon who would one day eat the world ?

[lilac coral]

They didn't say we are a dragon

And it was only one melusine

She called us a monster

That could/would devour the whole world

Specifically just saying we could eat the whole world in a single bite when saying paimon is like a balloon with a string towards the sky

[queen prawn]

||I don't think they switch,SoL is probably just chilling and lazy||

[lilac coral]

I guess we'll have to see

But his comment about her finding peace would be interesting if ||it is the shade of life and she completely took over rhine and her memories but with rhine's personality and appearance||

[odd thicket]

Hmmmmm

[dense moss]

Ye I asked the same

[marble mica]

||All I know is the Shade of Life created Egeria, Rhinedottir is also one of the Sinners from Khaenriah, as well, so the fact that a Sinner has merged with one of the Four Shades is absolutely INSANE. Like how did this NOT trigger the Heavenly Principles? The Sinners were punished with eternal life, but we did see the merging of spirits between Capitano and The Lord of The Night, so I think it's meant to draw a parallel (which actually is a good thing for capitano wanters because that kinda further proves bro isn't gone for good)||

[dense moss]

Did we know that Rhine was ||a sinner|| before this quest?

[marble mica]

Yes, it's in the uhhh bedtime stories quest I think? I forgot

[dense moss]

no clue what that is

[marble mica]

it's the sumeru quest where we meet up with Dain again

[dense moss]

the one with clothar?

[marble mica]

I forgot if its the one we actually see our twin or if its the one before that where we see through our twins eyes and see the "sinner" and the guy who creates the Abyss

But in one of them, Dain lists the Sinners' names

[dense moss]

other than Rhine who were the other ones i dont remember

[marble mica]

Hroptatyr — "The Wise"
Vedrfolnir — "The Visionary"
Rhinedottir — "Gold"
Surtalogi — "The Foul"
Rerir — "Rächer of Solnari"

One is Dain's brother

[dense moss]

which one was the one we saw

[marble mica]

The crystal we see in the quest is Vedrfolnir, the visionary, and is Dain's older brother

I think he was the prophet that is mentioned in several different stories

Ei mentions a prophet who warned her of the calamity, traveler also suspects that he is also the one who prophesized the thing with Fontaine

The sinners held mostly high rankings in Khaenriah, as well

[dense moss]

I blame Rhine

She fucked everything up

[marble mica]

Nah, they all had involvement, the xbox wings tell the story of how our twin was brought out to try and absorb and I think control the abyss

It went out of control or something after that, causing the fall

[dense moss]

still fucking hilarious hoyo keeps hiding lore in this kinda shit

like why the fuck

[marble mica]

Surtalogi, who is also a sinner, is Skirk's master, too

[dense moss]

that ik

[marble mica]

So we might actually hear more about him soon

[marble mica]

it was the biggest bombshell drop ever

Like one of them, at least, confirmed a bunch of stuff and it was in xbox wings

They might have also been punished because he, Rhine, and Vedrfolnir were pursuing a form of "perfection" and typically "perfection" goes hand in hand with divinity

We might get a lot of Khaenriah drops in Nodkrai too, I think this upcoming area will be to set up for everything in Sneznayah

Someone also pointed out on twitter, wish I had the link, that anything tied to the abyss/khaenriah is typically cryo (Skirk and Capitano for example)

I think the Tsaritsa is doing that deliberately

[dense moss]

still fucking pissed that skirk is cryo

her animations have negative cryo energy

it's all fucking abyss/space theme

[marble mica]

I didn't see a vision on her, but idk if I missed it

[dense moss]

doubt she has one

she IS cryo, but she aint really cryo

hoyo are just cowards and dont want to make the abyss/quantum element real

[marble mica]

That's why I think the tsaritsa has a thing to do with it, imagine it's abyss or otherworldly power but incased with cryo instead, like it's being held together by cryo

(probably to avoid pissing off a certain authority)

[queen prawn]

I don't really care for new element especially they won't beat melt and vaporise anyway

[dense moss]

they could

or they could do like dendro and be very good at a baseline but not scale too hard

[queen prawn]

Also no new element make it easier for them to implement "Light" Traveler,by allowing traveler to switch element and improving visual effect of other element without adding any new system/scaling/reaction

[dense moss]

would they just make it Pyro 2?

[queen prawn]

Elaborate?

[dense moss]

no you elaborate

[queen prawn]

[queen prawn]

E.g, Light Traveler can switch to 7 element but all of element visual will be up to date,current terrible anemo ult visual will look cooler ,bigger,more dmg,etc and have 5 star burst animation now. However, Sacred Flame(pyro) and FrostMoon Power(cryo, possibility) won't be replace (lore reason or something) but get higher dmg scaling(all this is possible if hoyo really want to make Traveler usable at all,new element or not). So instead of adding completely new element (Light, Imaginary) they can use current element system and improve the visual effect to make it look otherworldly.

Another problem is Skirk being cryo and not Quantum (+ future NodKrai character) and if future unit is quantum,it will make player mad there is no turning back. Unlike dendro,they never promised Quantum or Imaginary ,other game has it since launch unlike genshin

[dense moss]

If they ever planed to release quantum/abyss they did shot themselves on the foot right now yes

especially cause we see ||dain leaks where he does use some blue flames, so im guessing it's just gonna be pyro flavored abyss||

[queen prawn]

Their only option now is to make someone like Dainsleif modify current reaction ||(burning reaction) to make them stand out instead of another vaporise DPS ||

[dense moss]

i was hoping they would do that with skirk considering they are ||locking her to freeze|| but no

it's just ||freeze||

they have already done this with nilou

why can't they fucking do it with cryo

[queen prawn]

Yeah,they should have done that but I guess they are saving that for another otherworldly character

I assume they are saving it for Frostmoon Deity

[dense moss]

it's such bs i was so excited for her

now i will just go for escoffier's weapon instead and will save for shenhe or whoever the next freeze support is for ayaka

[queen prawn]

You skip her?

[dense moss]

ill skip skirk ye

it pisses me to much that they didn't even try to give her something special

[dense moss]

Ill just focus on making my ayaka as strong as possible

[queen prawn]

Moon Deity will probably beat her in both DPS , unique skill and visual anyway

If she is playable at all

[dense moss]

Most likely the only cryo that will overpower her is the tsaritza unless she's a full support

currently Skirk isn't that strong she's only slightly above ayaka in terms of total team dps

which is good for balance imo

but i doubt they wont buff her

cause the CN comunity is already getting all pissy skirk isn't mavuika level

[queen prawn]

[dense moss]

They are dumb af they dont want powercreep but then complain when powercreep doens't happen

they too used to the BS that is Hi3rd

[dense moss]

Is this moon deity the same as the fate weaver

[queen prawn]

No

[lilac coral]

Oh shit yeah I forgot about the eternal life curse, so why'd she do it 😭

[lilac coral]

That's why they said in the behind the scenes video for nod krai that they don't want to take that approach to lore anymore and want to focus on giving information to the player during story, because there's so much that people don't know because it's in the descriptions to artifacts, books scattered everywhere, weapons, exclusive items, etc

[dense moss]

Hopefully they actually do that in tired of important lore hiding in fucking books

[lost quail]

Ok so is it safe to assume Mavuika woke up like..two years ago or something in the game??

Like when did she wake up. It seems like she was around a long while, but given her interactions with Xilonen im not sure..

Xilonen and her seem to be the same age anyway, mid to late 20s. Sooooo I’m not sure..when or

She probably came back like a year or two ago or something.

When she came Xilo was prolly 23

This all ALL speculation and aid to help me figure out how old this red headed bitch is

Iansan was probably younger than that

Mualani too

Tho we don’t know how much younger and I don’t either

[reef axle]

The number of characters whose ages can be pinned down specifically can literally be counted on one hand, and Mauv is not one of them lol

Also, the ones we know are way younger than you'd imagine

Like Diluc's ~22 iirc

[dense moss]

dont we like only have like fischl's age or barbaras being confirmed?

everyone else being just a rought guess

i know we have at least 1 character where we 100% know her age

[reef axle]

Amber and Diluc from the manga, Fischl is a rough guess based on when she became an investigator

[dense moss]

i just dont remember who

[lost quail]

Xilonen is probably closer to Mavuika in age tho imo like mid to late 20s

That’s me tho.

Iansan feels like she’s 18 to me or 19

Arle is 27

That’s

A fact

Hmmm

Hmmmmmmm trying to think of more

[reef axle]

Ororon's story bit says he's a "twenty-something-year-old"

[lilac coral]

Better than 4

Or however old Gallagher said he was

[lost quail]

Venti looks about………..17 to 18 imo
Ngl so does xiao. He looks 18 to me I don’t know why maybe 18-20.

Venti, Xiao and Aether all look around the same age to me physically

17-19 at the OLDEST

[lost quail]

Ifa is 5 yall

He told us!!! LOLOL

[reef axle]

Can't really take physical appearance too seriously with everyone getting the perfect skin/same base model build lol

[lilac coral]

^

Especially because characters like neuvilette are definitively hundreds of years old

Fantasy rules y'all

[reef axle]

Genshin character design is like that one meme on Asian aging lol

[lost quail]

True, that’s why I’m just guessing.

Xiao and venti just physically feel the same age to me. Like 17 to 19

[lost quail]

Black people too

Actually

We age slowly

[lilac coral]

Yeah basically lol

Every older woman we see is like 200+ I bet

[lost quail]

My grandmother is 60 she looks 40

[lilac coral]

But they're both physically thousands of years old, which is why he's saying "this person physically looks this way means they're this" doesn't really work

That and irl that doesn't really work either lol

[reef axle]

https://youtu.be/XGxCMyLm6js

[lost quail]

My mother is 48 she looks 10 years younger

[lilac coral]

Since people don't say I look my age and I've seen people who are like 22 who look 40+

I had people thinking I was a freshman in high school until about a couple of years ago lol

[lost quail]

I got that already

That’s why I was going off mere speculation in the first place

I’m saying to me, they just feel like around the same age. Physical age in the game has been touched on already as well. So that can be used in some fashion here.

That’s what pisses me off about anime sometimes when I watch it. Unless you fucking get told you don’t know lmao

That’s my only contention with anime

Nothing makes sense age wise

But hey

It’s fiction so

Lololol

All I can do is speculate

[lost quail]

True true. Tho some people do look their age… which.. I wouldn’t recommend telling them that

If they’re over 40..

[lilac coral]

Oh I just say "you're all good" when they ask if I want to see their ID or start pulling it out of their wallet lmao

Haven't gotten anyone too offended yet

[dense moss]

Gallagher is the king of gaslighting

so much so he gaslit himself

and then died

[lilac coral]

oh hey jake

was it you?

[reef axle]

already let the mods know, but yeh. I delete em in the lore chats at least (since I can delete messages there)

[dense moss]

i never know how to call the mods so i usually call KC or you

even tho ik you can't kick them

[reef axle]

DM @digital yarrow and it'll automatically create a ticket any mod can see/respond to

quickest way to get their attention

[dense moss]

i can send message links to modmail right?

like this #・lore-basement message

[reef axle]

ye

Tho quickest way to get em banned (and save mods like 5 seconds) is to send the User ID

(the no followup part is because their script has them ask if I need anything else before they close the ticket)

None can know what lies beyond the bespangled heights, just as none can perceive that which dwells in lightless depths.
As the ancient Khaenri'ahn augur once said:
"Venturing out into the universe and down into the abyss are the same—"
"In that both are braving the dark unknown."
In the days after the underground civilization collapsed, upon a patch of unremembered, scorched earth—
The one who despised destiny plucked a young girl from the hand of fate.
Once she had grown up, she too saved a child ensnared by providence.
How good it would be, if warmth could be the measure of all things, if all tales could end in joy...
Yet the road ahead is uncertain, the sights beyond unknown.

"Alright class, now when the author says "Time is like the wind - it waits for no one", what did they mean?"
A. Venti is Istaroth, and our adventures so far have merely been us dancing in the hands of a being so far beyond our understanding.
B. Venti stole the power of Time from Istaroth, and is now the god of both Time and Anemo.
C. Rosaria feels conflicted about her troubled past, both the bandit family she's lost and the gap in her sense of belonging that has come from Varka departing Mondstadt with so many faces she knew.
D. Time is like the wind, it waits for no one.

[queen prawn]

D for sure

In a question with 3 long answers, short one is usually the correct answer

[dense moss]

Nono you need to think about it more

Clearly This proves that Rosaria knows Venti is Barbatos and is giving us a hint

She knows this cause Her Venti Dahlia and Kaeya were all drunk as all fucks and venti told them

No wonder he's friends with venti lmao

I also like the special background they gave him on this one

Dahlia: Ode and Oblation
︀︀Herald of Barbatos #GenshinImpact #Dahlia
︀︀
︀︀Many Mondstadters believe that Dahlia has the Anemo Archon's favor, and that asking him for guidance is a reliable path to answers from Barbatos himself.
︀︀That is why those who desire succor often congregate around the Deacon, pouring out their troubled hearts to him.
︀︀However, such behavior has never perplexed Dahlia. If anything, he seems to enjoy it. He is drawn to the disturbances and troubles of the world, like a dandelion seed chasing a bustling breeze.
︀︀On days when the believers do not come to him, he often goes to them instead — leaving the Cathedral and strolling through Mondstadt's streets to look for trouble he might get involved in.
︀︀Obligation to spread the good word? Hardly — he does this out of personal interest.
︀︀"After all, that's how one of the prayers goes: 'Let the wind lead.'"

That and I really like the descriptor for him

If there's no trouble to be had he literally goes and seeks it out to solve it lol

[mental flame]

why is his hydro symbol colored like that

[reef axle]

The gold one next to his name?

That's normal isnt it?

[white nimbus]

Skirk's cryo symbol is the same color

[mental flame]

it's normal? guess I just never noticed it

or just reoccuring to others

[reef axle]

Yee, the square-sized versions always get that

[mental flame]

icic

[lilac coral]

Yeah lol

Otherwise that'd be interesting if it wasn't

[modern plover]

another hydro to the collection

i dont like how the church people in mondstadt are all 4 stars and none of them has significance to the story

although lore wise, they are important for mondstadt gov as well

[reef axle]

The important church folks left w/ Varka, no?

[modern plover]

they did?

[reef axle]

It's kinda a Jean situation with the church too iirc

[modern plover]

i thought its only the knights on the expedition

[modern plover]

wdym by this?

[reef axle]

Varka left his second in command (Jean) in charge of everything as Acting Grand Master. Mondstadt's church is currently being led by a Acting Seneschal because the current Seneschal is with Varka on his expedition.

Guy at the top is the leader, but he's w/ Varka rn

[modern plover]

oh its him. barbara's dad

still, my point still stands tho

[reef axle]

And Jean's

[modern plover]

the church seems like a 2nd thoughts in the story

[reef axle]

Tbf, that's most of Mondstadt until this most recent version lol

[modern plover]

none of the story so far revolves around them althought lore wise they are as important as knights too

[modern plover]

eh its kinda like this in the prologue AQ already

[lilac coral]

And finally, that hydro ratio is closer to like 2:5 with 4* vs 5*

[modern plover]

Sorry misread lmao

[reef axle]

Mondstadt's character roster feels like it's meant to have deep exploration of its story saved for the endgame. It's why Venti still doesnt have a 2nd story quest

[modern plover]

True

[modern plover]

Still dahlia is still a 4 star

His position sounds very important

But instead of being a 5 star. He’s 4. And a random chef in Fontaine is a 5 star instead

[reef axle]

Assuming it follows Catholic church structure, not particularly important
