me seeing mav powercreep herself
Brain implosion energy
@limpid galleon bro I forgot today was daylight savings and I did my daily stuff 30 minutes early... im so cooked.
its like arle's
im sorry what now
hoyo industrty plant
also eron
i decided to pull for flins
i realised my account would get a decent power spike with a good electro carry
wait what if...
kaeya's horse that he let varka borrow was actually celadon mare and that's why mare is a dedicated anemo support
and my next pull is columbina anyway
Sus Kaeya
also the fandom will never let this die down
was it gambling addiction talking
no
i want my account to be foundationally strong
g!characters
like i am missing an
Anemo
Cryo
Electro carry
sethos has one big downside
the same as keqing
there are worse pulls than flins
both their performances go down a chasm when without fischl
fischl merchants, the both of them
such as ?
as far as husbando wanters are concerned he's top tier
tried lauma yelan ineffa clorinde team. glad clorinde is back. this feels nice.
hes very trivial to play
overall i'd probably say nefer's worse than flins
ye
for account power
lauma + flins is a way better combo than lauma + nefer
lauma can hold her own by herself
and flins requires very little account investment to function
te
ye
he just needs aino
maybe jahoda
for bina i have 2 patches
- aino sucrose
my tierlist of pull value
ineffa > lauma > flins > nefer
no durin smh
my lauma is going to be soooo premium once i craft her a goblet
sure
i think my account can survive without durin for the time being
cope
do u have mavuika
31 useful rolls already and a goblet with double crit🤤
omg double arti event
yes
is lauma supposed to be built with crit
crit ratio so high
yes
there's no other substat you can chase anyway
wait wat the 3 claims is still only 20 resin each
OMG
wait i thought she was c6 for a second
lowkey lost my damn mind
nah😭😭im not rich
flins so op
me just went out of arti domain and found jahoda there
my coopmates so strong

ok
can u guys clear theatre with only 4 stars https://youtu.be/uLXjmjgVgRk
after 3 years, i finally can get insinde the last room i wasn't able to break in Sumeru due to not finishing a world quest
thanks Hoyo for the sofa
literal game changing gadget
i didnt even think there were enough 4 stars available to do this
i dont have enough of them
wait...
yunjin with sethos is wild
not a bad choice, iirc it is a decent support for him
She gives na spd and petra
#FreeJahoda
shame her quills wouldnt work though
are 12k ticks on c0 yelan ult high
Jahoda after soloing the verse
I don't think so
Cuz mine is pretty bad and has favonious and she does more I think

crit rate too low
well the build is not done
i also have a build with good CR but no EM on flower
it's interchangeable

with that ratio I really doubt she does more than 12k ticks 😭
even if she does it CANT be consistent
I jus incorporating the dice part of her ult
Duhhh!!!
i wish id gotten elegy instead of aqua for yelan back then
laughs in r4 elegy
ughhh im jealous
its funny when my duplicates are all losses for the weapon im actually aiming for
what a nice problem to have
me remember homa elegy was the best weapon banner because homa op
now homa fallen off
when I lose I get skyward spine orsome useless shit like that
and elegy is better now in nod krai
homa is still nice considering how crazy universal it is
20% atk 100 em r1
Tbh nobody was really min maxing that passive
Oh shot
Is homa on liyue chronicle
u could say the same for jade cutter then u try to look at the recent sword chars genshin been releasing
I do say the same for jade cutter its a nice statstick for every atk or hp scaling sword character
Cr weapoms are dead
yes
elegies
With how many cr artis we have
Homa now is mid 
@vapid current @fathom nexus what happened to character design after timeskip bro
Beserker
Marechausee
Obsidian
NSU
berserker in the big 25 💀
scarlet sands is still like 2nd bis for arle/ineffa/flins though?
they don’t use the cr sets tho
outside flins
ohhh
song of broken pines stock will rise up when sneznayya brings about a physical meta

any atk spd char will do*
me remember whale showcases of atkspd had like r5 of that with chongyun
because chongyun maybe buffs atkspd too
rip those days atk spd dps ded
varka lunarshatter or lunarconduct trust
160% cap 
u can ignore cap if u like ranged atkspd like ayato or wanderer me think
it all depends on the horse who is meant to carry support him
idts, even the cap for ayato was 160%
Thoughts on post timeskip franky 
SUUUPPPPEERRRRRRRRRRR
i dont like his hair cut though
whys he got a buzz cut 😭
his old haircut was iconic
i think he looks sick asf now cause he looks waayyyyy mroe cyborg
and hes massive
but what if aino gets adapted for lunarshatter and they make a way to shatter enemies immune to frozen
then boom
no dedicated support needed
or hear me out
our next 4 star is ummm
They would make a support specifically for this
If they really wanted to rework shatter they would have done so by now
Wait till sneznaya
Nod krai is transformative meta galore
totally nothing to do with the fact that i like men, i like cryo and phys, i like inazuma and i think frostbearer is cool
didn't they buff shatter em scaling recently?
absolutely unrelated
should've been rizzly lowkey
it fits him so well
if escoffier allowed an electro in the team I'd be running shatter wriothesley on frostbearer
but it doesnt even work against bosses because you cant shatter something that cant be frozen 😭
oh yeah that actually works
yeah...
it wouldn't work in most game modes
at least it could work in overworld
if only freminet was a catalyst unit 💔
Baizhu reminds me of Baizhu
eula and xinyan both have phys dmg in abilities
theres no reason they couldnt give a catalyst phys abilities
yeah
The reason is because they are evil
they can just make it dual elemental and phys
Fremi also has phys stuff just fine
this FUCKING NATLAN SUMMER ISLAND IS MAKING ME WANT TO CLAW OUT MY EYEBALLS
I HATE THIS QUEST
I just didn’t do it
I never will
i need primos
it's a cute quest
Is it the one with bennett
iits an ANNOYING QUEST
yes
noo
Its a slog at first
"no targets to instruct" im STARING RIGHT AT THE FUCKING SAURIAN DONT LIE TO ME
Act two three and four are fun
I’m glad you like it 
FINALLY I BEAT THIS GODFORSAKEN TIME WASTER
oh yeah i hated that part actually
that was the only bad one
terrible puzzle design
Iirc this is a trial run
no
WHO DESIGNED THIS
its so bad
thank you mihoyo for teaching me what not to do with my game design ❤️
It didnt release it escaped
frfr
bro ive been on this fucking island for 3 hours and im only at 50% and ive earned 2 and a half pulls
this is such a waste of energy
ive never hated a new area so much
Should have done it on release
i hated it then too what does that change
You got more rewards for the trouble
ig
And this is the only grating part of the quest
joe mama
stun seed
that id have to disagree with
jn
ive hated every earlier part too
5.8 resort???
It gets better in act three
yes i hate this whole place
Its fun
ive never had a region cause me this much actual physical pain before
this region gives me migraines
It was refreshing for me coz i cud not play simulanka
the ENDLESS DIALOGUE THAT SOMEHOW FEELS WORSE THAN USUAL GENSHIN DIALOGUE
Smash space button and right mouse
glad I didn't go through more of that island
only enough so that when the flagship event started, I won't be bothered by unrelated quests
why did they make the worst summer event the only permanent one
Played whenever the quests were out. And finished it quick
Huh??? I heard its better than 3.x and 4.x??
i loved both of those
i fucking despise this godforsaken natlanese hellscape they gave us for 5.8
4.x was great
I cud not play them. The only ones i played was golden apple archipelago and this one natlan
well as someone whos played all of them this is the worst
of the whole lot
Damn
i didn't do the sumeru one
Simulanka felt a lotta fun. Cud not plat
it was boring at first and then i quit
it was really really fun
Simulanka was the one with Nilou right
bennett being bennett is the only redeeming quality of this entire questline
Nah durin
yes
Or yes
theyre the same one
I havent played lol
also him yeah
fr
yeah I liked that one as much as the other
simulanka was nilou, navia, wanderer, durin and kirara
feez ruts
simulanka gave us crazy wanderer lore too
ueez buts
i wanna know the pseudonym of the last descender
we know voyager, wanderer and traveler but whats the other
guys paimon is guider trust
thats a descender name
trust
Nah she aint descender
Paimon is obviously a shade trust
Trust.
She forgets who is rukkhadevata
Paimon is voyager
Dude changed opinions like underpants after taco tuesday
paimon is yhr primordial orn
Paimon is asmodeus
Paimon is Baal
Paimon is PO’s leftover creation
Paimon is the next president of USA
Maybe Dainsleif is Paimon’s sinner equivalent ?
Paimon is Phainon duh thats why their names are the same
omg
Paimon is Nibelung
Paimon of Aedes Elysiae
Paimon is the 3rd descender
paimon is elysia
real
what if paimon is scaramouche
damn
real shit though i have a feeling the missing harbringer is someone we already know
and nobody recognises her because she got erased from irminsul
so everybody things shes a weird floating blob
additionally ppl not being curious enough about her
like she's the only ever floating starry fairy in Teyvat yet no one gives enough of a damn
well shes not
she is a weird floating blob anyway
Paimon is Makoto
chat there is a chance makoto isnt dead
she just got erased from irminsul but incompletely so people think shes dead instead of forgetting her
trust
Paimon was the 1st cryo archon trust
It is traveller
paimon is a reincarnation of signora
She wasnt erased from irminsul tho
you dont know that
Iirc traveller’s Arcana card is literally called the fool
If she was raiden wouldnt be grieving or gone past her
Traveller would have known
i just explained this
Aino gave Ineffa some humor upgrade and now Ineffa is discount Cyno
Tbf nobody knows of her existence
Nobody knows of makato save a few
At least three people know of her existence
if someone was PARTIALLY erased from irminsul but not completely, then the information within teyvat would bend to accommodate it
Nobody knows of rukhadevata now
for example, her being "dead"
Except the witches and traveller
tree is onto something
there's gotta be at least a fairytale made out of her existence
people only know that the archon of Inazuma is Raiden shogun
they don't know that there are Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei
But why erase partially for makato
idk i didnt do it myself did i
Istaroth had a deal with her
Good question
me
do we know all 4 descenders identites now
no
my god
wait yes we do
i made it up
Only the first and third
whos the 2nd
is that not the "Second Who Came"
20% by freak chance it is Voyager
wait
which descender would voyager be if not the 2nd
wait she actually put them on the shelf?
Voyager may just not be a descender
@fallow geyser @fathom nexus @vapid current lowkey i rlly like perona fr
We know that voyager is a descender though
How ?
She’s great 
A being that came from outside teyvat and changed the fate of its world?
Thats literally what descenders are
one of odas rare characters that dosent look like a copy paste 🔥
Nibelung also does that
Abyss via forbidden knowledge lets people weave their own fate
And also of the world
how the fuck does sanji always reach a new low
"wait for wholecake!!!!!!!!!" hes fucking dead to me
Surtologi has Skirk try to become a Descender to give him a good fight
Nibelung didn't descend he returned
He was born of teyvat
He's not a being from outside teyvat he just left
Rene shoots down this idea
He was a native who attempted to become a descender
By sinking and rising from the abyssal sea as a newborn
true ✅
Ajax is also possibly a native
'descenders' who failed to change the fate of teyvat arent really 'descenders' at all
He got the science right
Well, almost right
Ineffa pov
the first descender is Phanes, the second is Voyager, the third is Saarelainen and the fourth is the Traveler
Nibelung failed and therefore was not the second
Voyager couldnt change fate
aren't descenders outworlders only
Voyager DID change fate
Nope
how did bro fail when he blew up 2 moons
and like, laid waste to most of the planet
because it didnt realistically change much about the fate of the world
i mean, yeah it did
Descenders are defined not being foreign but by being able to
Create the world
Destroy the world
Sustain the world
Protect the world
And rival the will of the world
In some order
nibelung wasn't a descender, he was an ascender
bro started on teyvat, bro belonged to it, it was his
so far only outworlders have become descenders
No info on Saarleianen
rene only specified the possibility of a teyvat native becoming a descender
in fact he was fate itself iirc
Descenders are outworlders as defined by fatui and informed to us by nahida
it does not mean there has been one
Saarleianen could be a native born
I would argue creating a genesis device of some sort that literally infinitely permeates life across teyvat counts
Saarelainen
Rene just wanted to become such an entity that rivals the world by combining the wills of people
Not that he would become a descender
Neuv also said to have a will that rivals the human realm yet he is not a descender
Nibelung too had the same attributes he created the moons, wrecked havoc on it later, his forbidden knowledge used to challenge fate in khaenriah and rival PO’s will
Nibelung is the OG fate god.
And the frostmoon prayers detail his powers of creation and destruction
Neuvillette is a perfect example of a being native to teyvat not counting as a descender
Before Phanes.
Anyone doubting Nibelung's power or significance just has to read up on war of vengeance tbh
The former meant to pray away disasters and calamities
The latter to summon them that is missing
This is 2/4 of the descender criteria
How can you really consider it "rivalling the will of the world" if what Nibelung rivalled was not the will of the world but the will of another descender?
Human realm isnt the whole world tho
He has to rival the heavens
This is where classification is an issue
Can you really consider the order implemented by Phanes as part of the world if Phanes was a descender in the first place
Said descender had greatly transformed the original world, set the laws of it that everyone must follow without any remittance
To challenge them is challenging the world too
probably not
i mean it wouldn't make sense
Voyager does note the planet being utterly alien after Phanes
do we even know if descending was even a thing back before the current fate system was implemented?
The way I see it
Phanes changed the world
Nibelung tried to "sustain" the world by reverting it to its original fate
Nibelung failed
Nibelung does not meet descender criteria
In the early time after PO took over*, fate didn't work the way it does now right?
And the dragons of enka, natlan and fontaine accepting their loss and bowing down to the rules of the world
It did
Will that rivals the world was the definition
Not heavens
And this seems close enough
before the war of vengeance, fate wasn't preordained iirc
PO brought crafted the fake skies over teyvat to govern fate
It was, am sure it is in some frostmoon relic’s description or their prayer
No wait
The event weapon’s description
Simulanka has creatures not bound by fate iirc
Some are, some aren't
The heavens govern the world and their will is supreme
Both Sibling and Tsaritsa move to rival the heavens in the near future
"Once upon a time, the titan craftsman of the skies once wove the destinies of all living beings, the golden harp their instrument of fate."
"That was the divine plan of the heavens. If it were followed, the entire world would usher happiness in."
"Yet even the ignorant can dream, and in her dream, a new future revealed itself."
"She saw men raise a tower to the heavens, and from its heights, the tower's apostle waging war against the sky..."
"She saw roaring beasts, each larger than a mountain, breaking free from the bonds of the earth..."
"She saw three moons casting their light upon the sea, a sight soon eclipsed by an ancient dragon rising like a tide."
@thorn sun
Nibelung had the power of OG fate yeah.
My point is just that PO wasn't originally as heavy handed in his rule as he is now.
iirc
Before the war of vengeance.
Originally Moons governed the cycles of teyvat
PO as 1st took control and created new system which we know as fate
2nd destroyed this system and PO had to recreate the system
3rd we don't know what they did but they powered gnosis so...
And as 4th we are constantly changing fate as the story progresses
All descenders (except for 3rd because we don't know most of their stuff) have changed the world order or are in the process of changing it
Relaxed fate rules -> Humans get uppity -> Bad shit happens -> New, restricted fate rules implemented.
Nah they were
They used nails before Nibelung strive
Nah the fate rules were never relaxed, the first angel was sent to Hyperborea to find and punish the perpetrators of blasphemy
Yeah but that's my point. The nails would not have needed to be used if the current fate system was in place.
If PO had power of fate itself, how could Sal Vindagnyr even hope to do something bad in the first place?
The current system was still in place then, it were the angels defeating the purpose of it
Descender is defined as someone who has the will that rivals the world not the heavens
Again not sure why you're pulling random things into this
But the heavens control the world (with fate) , set its laws;
Are they not the one to be challenged by association ?
Descenders are mostly about changing world order
It's not just heavens but the order they established as a whole which governs the teyvat that gets challenged
In this case the fate system
The knowledge the angels and Seutervoinen gave them grew confidence in them to do so
They did some rituals involving leylines that didnt go through
Same story with the Tsurimi island civilisation
no
they don't represent the world itself
Werent the voyager and koitar described to seek to overthrow the heavens ?
Yes and they failed
It was after Nibelung arrived with abyss that the world order was broken
But have the will of world in their control no ?
Vision holders cannot ever rebel or challenge Celestia
Maybe not on their own but with traveler they sure can
if traveler can challenge fate itself i don't see how it'd be impossible to challenge celestia
Isn't that where the story is going anyway 
exactly lol
Archons seem to be able to
The belyi tsar allegedly didnt have a vision and attempted
Deshret as well
that's a roundabout way of saying it when they could have defined it as will that rivals the heavens instead
idk this seems pointless to argue about as 'will that rivals the world' was already vague enough as a sentence and we don't need to make more stuff up on top of it unless it is in game
so I will stop
yeah
i mean eventually we will fulfill all the necessary criteria anyway so we will see what the others have done as well
play this game
fair enough
try to get the highest streak you can
just in case someone want to see how Nefer's office looks from outside
this made me realise we didnt have any lore on the will of the world except possibly reed miller ? and elysium ?
expected info on surtologi or one of the shades to fill in on it but radio silence
this is easy
5s each song is enough
aa
Welp
in 2027 maybe

that's not far at all
maybe this month by some freak chance
via columbina or rerir
if i could wait 5 years for massive lore drops i could wait a few more
there is stil the most likely sinner-descender candidate hroaptatyr unaccounted for
Why??
i mean maybe but i think they'll drag it out as much as possible so that lore players would keep playing
he cried and defended charlie kirk
Thats a crime??
ig
i cant imagine how much they have to twist and turn to keep it secret when lake armsvartnir and seelie palace are open
or hyperborea
it's enough to warrant people to dislike him and want him recast (myself included)
no but being stupid and denying the things that man said should be
bro has religious psychosis it's over
Oh
that's going to take a while no?
according to bloodsoaked ruins it is north to even sneznaya
and skirk set says it is buried under ice and beside a frozen sea
yeah then they'll probably gatekeep it for the end of the teyvat chp
or it'll be like a dark sea chp even
this is the next area
New map dropped
hyperborea is even further to the north from here
yeah ik
hyperborea OR pohjola is
it is
possibl pohjola
arcadia and city of y's
mare jivari isnt part of teyvat... depending on how you view it
wdym?
Both of them are part of teyvat...
No khanerria is also teyvat
they were still subject to false sky
Just because they don't come under the rule of seven doesn't mean they detach from the planet itself 
show score
They're still a part of it
enka sunk under the dark sea, GAA was described by venti to belong to no one meaning it's probably in the dark sea
no like
they had an option to leave teyvat
teyvat isn't a planet it's a continent
go through the abyssal sky and voila
there's things past it
why is your streak zero
Dark sea is just used for region not ruled by the seven
What do you mean enka isn't part of teyvat we literally went there 
because i lost
It's underground just like Khanerria
yeah, and the dark sea is not part of teyvat
it's underwater in the dark sea
just because it's beyond teyvat doesn't mean we can't go there lol
is there a possibility that the dark sea just means abyyss ?
which song
venti, never heard it, probably during story quest or something
depending on what the dark sea even means
at the moment there's parts of the world beyond teyvat that aren't only the abyss
dark sea ~ abyssal sea
somewhat synonymous ?
i mean maybe
frostmoon
do it again
@lyric fossil check your dms
possibly the iridescent moon ?
bored
i did
not interested in the mini game ngl
i mean tbf
the moons are separate from teyvat that's for sure
but i think the dark sea is on the same layer
no
https://ostguessr.kuutar.moe/endless
try this then
Depending on whether you consider teyvat a world or just continent
Dark sea is just part of the world that doesn't come under rule of the seven
I consider teyvat to be the world hence dark sea being a part of it
stuck here
Maybe it isn't and the world has its own name then sure dark sea would be separate from teyvat
wonder where exactly the crimson moon finds itselff
then that would beg the question of why not the dragons run to over there
i could crush you all at this game tbh
You have dragons in enka...
fair point
Vishaps are the evolved form or devolved form whatever you consider
Tollan is another region not under seven so that's another
what about now
why
Remuria ?
Its just let be
Yeah you can take remuria too they're all lost region
Wont Khaenriah fall under this definition too ?
nod krai soundtrack release soon btw
Yes they're not under the rule of seven
Ig that settles it then
Dark sea is still part of teyvat and under its laws
As I said depends on whether you view the world as teyvat or just continent
In later case dark sea wouldn't be part of it
But so far hoyo has used teyvat only for the world as well as continent under seven so 
old khaenriah would be cool
flins so op
Dark Sea logically must be under the same laws
The Heavenly Principles cast a fake sky covering the whole planet and created a system that hijacks people into a concept of "fate"
It would be incredibly nonsense if they're just "Oh no we are powerless against anything beyond these arbitrary borders"
The most likely scenario is just that yes the Dark Sea is influenced by the same planet wide rules, but Celestia never bothered to a stake a claim on those areas, probably because as the name suggests, it most likely is mostly just water
me remember early inazuma leeks that there was a underwater palace between liyue and inazuma
rip never happened
yeah there's no celestia influence
it has been mentioned somewhere idr that after the archon war a lot of the old gods and whatever beings fled to the areas within the dark sea to evade celestia
So far nobody in nod krai has a demon name right ?
Yeah then celestia never had a god establish themselves in nod krai
Wonder what name would be the belyi tsar ‘s
Nod-Krai is still nominally part of Snezhnaya, the Tsar/Tsaritsa just do not exert influence over it
Also Celestia doesn't even really care about if a place doesn't worship a god, they were leaving Khaenri'ah alone until they started dabbling in abyss blasphemy
72 demons wallahi it will take a day
Khaenrians got quarantined
yeah this
it's autonomous
within snezhnaya
Many Nod-Krai citizens themselves acknowledge it as part of Snezhnaya geographically
Because there's no reason not to, the continent is divided into 7 nations not 8, they don't seem to have any uncategorized land, so Nod-Krai has to be counted as something
And because the original inhabitants, Frostmoon Scions, came from Hyperborea which likely is located somewhere in modern Snezhnaya, it is natural to link themselves to that nation rather than either of the other two bordering nations, Natlan and Fontaine
It's the same bs warmongering rhetoric real life Russia pulls on all the lands it wants to conquer when it suits their needs.
And Genshin acknowledges it.
"Just because it doesn't have a ruler doesn't mean it shouldn't be ruled." - Sandrone on Nod Krai.
It's all bullshit.
Yeah og robin >
We also see it played out with the Fatui bullying the frost moon scions.
Autonomous regions are not some wild concept, they have always existed, and can still count themselves as geographically part of a larger nation, while not acknowledging any government
Just because Russia/Snezhnaya claims bs, doesn't mean the region's status as both autonomous and within another nation are exceptionally odd
With Lauma (literally Lithuania's goddess of land / fertility btw) saying they'll not hand over anything to the fatui and will draw a line in the snow with their blood.
The parallells are blatant here.
I did not think Genshin would dare go so hard on this concept, but they are.
Nod-Krai is Snezhnaya geographically, because the Teyvat continent doesn't have uncategorized land
Simple as
The Fatui now want to extend this to "we rule Nod-Krai because of this" but that's a separate issue
It is Nod-Krai, located in the southern part of Snezhnaya
The game also describes it like this
the unthinkable happened
Hell I imagine Nod Krai came about because of the modern Ukraine war.
It's a region that did not exist as part of Hoyo's planning 5 years ago.
And it specifically highlights the countries that have historical beef with Russia irl.
Obesius
So perhaps Hoyo felt it necessary to change their plans for Snez.
It allegedly did
Wait
No it didn't.
In pale princess
They changed a bunch of the story stuff a year or so ago.
The whole space ship arc came out of nowhere.
They tweaked a bunch of the lore to accomodate Nod Krai.
Space ship was always part of the plan imo
And yet it came out nowhere that we had a key on our person ALL THIS TIME
And just forgor to mention it.
Hoyo adjusted their writing to add more layers of depth to it and to speed up the lore progression towards the endgame.
Because they realized people are starting to stop caring.
That's why we suddenly got the gods limit trailer, it's why we're now fighting a sinner, it's why the moons are max focus now.
Hexenzirkel is getting involved for real. So much lore progression.
I mean they literally released entire dev stream to explain the same they were too slow before and only now are increasing the lore into the main story
Yeah.
Fuck, I need to stop procrastinating and speed run through that 11 hour archon quest
Plus the 5 hour skirt quest

Natlan was a big blow to their playerbase and they're taking steps to do better.
Kinda sad cause natlan lore was peak
I liked Natlan's area, exploration and especially character kits.
The story had decent moments.
But overall I was mostly skipping it.
I guess with natlan they found out the hard way that most players don't actually read lore and you need it in the story itself to keep their attention and hype 
But honestly I genuinely think they had initially planned to group together the baltics + Finland + Ukraine into Snez as a whole.
But then the war happened and doing that now would be uh, controversial af.
So instead they split Nod Krai off from Snez's arc and are presenting it in a much more nuanced light.
Why would the war have affected hoyo though
It's a guess.
So far the way they are absolutely mega shilling Finland of all countries is fun af to see.
In the lore nod krai was levelled by the nobles of sheznaya so take it as you will
levelled ?
Like, old lore pre-retcon?
It was remote borderland and was used as well for expansion into the area by old tsar
It's in varessa arti lore
Let me get it
"...In those days, the land was leveled by the northern Hunting Winds, cutting down the unruly frontier folk at the behest of the despotic Knyazes.And in a bid to seize the power left behind by the heavenly moons, a mad monk who spoke in strange tongues presented a treacherous plot to the Tsar of all fae.
Thus were the Moonchildren, hidden in their mountain forests, scattered, sisters driven by fate down divergent paths. "
That's recent enough to be after the rewrite isn't it?
Yes
Also yeah that's giga old times.
Yeah I meant the plot of nod krai being in opposition to sheznaya is in the lore itself
But the way they're depicting kuutar (finnish moon goddess) as having been part of the fatui, but was ultimately used and betrayed by them
Is just like, very on point for Finland.
Like lauma has very good reason for doing what she does 
it is the moonlit forest
Yeah. I'm Swedish so I'm fairly well versed in the nordic way of thinking
And seeing Lauma say the "line of blood in the snow" is VERY on brand for the baltic states 😭
And Finland for that matter.
It made me appreciate her writing waaay more.
So it just feels like their rewrite added many layers of extra respect towards all the countries Nod Krai is meant to represent.
And I'm here for it 
Ye they always do their research just fumble sometimes with execution
Thankfully not the case with nod krai so far 
i thought NK was built by the conch gang?
Yeah it's almost weird seeing them handle as delicate a topic as this with so much care.
Considering they didn't handle Natlan that well iirc
Conch Gang is specifically a folktale about the establishment of Nasha Town
Not Nod-Krai as a whole
Would you be fine with me dming you at some point about that? I'm writing a game in a similar style to genshin and research is never quite the same as a lived experience being raised in a culture - speaking as a German myself, since my German region is the only one I feel is written well enough
One of the regions is based heavily on Nordic culture
It's not exclusively Nordic but there are key influences
is the archon Odin?
Uh, sure.
Tyty
I'm really looking forward to lightkeeper lore ngl.
there are so many odins in the game
Pierro
Hroaptatyr
Irmin
oh mai got Makoto and Ei?
oh wait its their game
I haven't seen Odin ever depicted properly in combat 😔
It's a split region, half Nordic half Celtic
The sister is the Thunder god and wields a chakram as a nod to Taranis being the Celtic god of both thunder and the wheel
The brother is unfinished so far
They also just make him a melee guy like bro the dude would smoke almost anyone.
Oh I meant to reply to this
god of war depicted him well
MCU Odin at least had proper presence.
Like
He's the kind of guy that Thanos waits for him to die before even moving along with his plan.
Cuz otherwise Thanos would have gotten chokeslammed.
That's how strong Odin is.
will we get valk in genshin?
of whom?
Wtf is this interview invitation email?
what
Treat sus emails as sus.
you know what's sus? the secret room in Enkanomiya
which one ?
Nah, the link provided led directly to Hoyo's site
the one with um
suspicious "rocks" ?
the one where you go through a picture
that is the library
I would never ever click a link in a sus email.
that one
Go to hoyo's site through searching for it on a search engine instead.
you know where it actually is?
15000m up in the air
oh ?
it is prolly a game perception trick
but the mirror is curious
space fuckeryy
another nod to istarot and asmoday collaab ?
Oh, so apparently, Hoyo's been randomly selecting players to do interviews for years, it's just very rare to get selected
Guess Hoyo's gonna give me $80
noo what
OH
wtf i want that
i don't even check the email that's tied to my game account oops
does lvling skirk to 100 even do anything
nope shes just one of my favorite characters
playable shades when 🔥🔥
back in my days we just used to surf the internet to gather resources
hi
bro
i got cooked i our defense
Why is the Dehya quest domain burgeon related when she sucks in burgeon CRIES
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME HOYO SHE SHOULDVE BEEN A BURGEON UNIT
😭
there is only one thing to do
nod and krai
That one was good, I almost laughed in class
While I’m doing my Dehya quest
I feel like hoyo thinks she’s burgeon related and that makes me more upset
thnx mods
Hi
They try to balance all the characters they release, they gave dehya an amazing design so her kit had to suffer
Tru
They need to rework her kit
They’re already buffing Mona apaprantley
PLS CHANGE DEHYA KIT HOYO
Make her grave thing trigger every .9 seconds and then have her scale off of em yuppp
They're buffing Mona? LETSGOOOOO
All I want is for her skill to last longer and to have a larger aoe
And they might be buffing Albedo, Venti and Klee too
Yeah that would be good, apparently it’s just scaling stuff from what we know
Klee buff should make her ult work off field
I was thinking it would be a special witch passive
It would be fun if they made Mona have a lunar buff
Turn her into a nod krai character
She might have a lunar charge buff but I’m not sure tbh
I think that did happen
Have venti ult pull every enemy and make it so his ult doesn't auto aim
I was hoping they gave her C1 a bloom buff though since it’s the only reaction she doesn’t buff (apart from freeze)
Oh venti buff I hope he gets better passives
Passives so good it makes up for the rest of his kit
Wasn't there a constellation on Mona that still doesn't work to this day?
Maybe one of those passives is like “you can suck up every enemy”
Yeah it’s C1 for the freeze stuff
You’re supposed to get more freeze duration but you don’t
That would be pretty cool I would like it if venti was meta again
I just hate how you can't manually target his ult
He ends up using his ult in the corner of the map because he auto aims at a random hilichurl

Hoyo also needs to give us more party slots
I'm running out of party slots to use
Yeah same, and then they can change the old archons as they go
That’s who I would prioritize for buffs
Lmao that's pretty neat I've been using nilou comp a lot lately especially because of lauma
Specially because they get a rerun every year
Yesssss Llama is amazing I love her
Nilou is actually one of the characters I have at c6 and Nilou vap is also fun
Lunar vap 
Id buff Venti and Zhongli for obvious reasons and then I would make Raiden scale a bit better so her dps version is better than her hyperbloom version

I support Nilou vape though
The fact that Raiden fell off so hard that she's at best competing with kuki for hb enabler is tragic
I was hoping Durin would be the lunar vape but it makes sense he isn’t
Right she really let herself go
I just need someone that applies pryo off field that isn't tied to its 80 cost ult like xiangling
Funny enough I use mavuika for my melt ganyu comp
Did you see Durin leaks
Apparently he’s like burst reliant
That's a shame but I didn't
I need to look it up
Oh interesting
Maybe he will be a good team mate for ganyu
But I was also reading some online articles and apparently Columbina is hydro? I thought she was cryo
Yessss she’s hydro
She’s the lunar queen and every lunar reaction seems to be hydro related
Lmao hoyo really loves the hydro element
She's the one I'm saving for tho
I was pulling for aino cons and accidentally pulled flins tho so I need to refarm primos

Let's hope Klee buff really makes her ult work off field I'll be so happy if it does that's what I'm hoping for
Catalyst impact strikes again
Oh no I don't have enough good catalysts for everyone
Do you have Ineffa
Are you getting her
My current flins comp uses aino, Fischl and sucrose
When she reruns?
Dunno tbh if I have enough primos I might try but I really want varka, Columbina and Alice
Now, just need his wep
LETSGOOOOO
Omgggg congrats
55 weapon banner pity
I wonder if it's an unpopular opinion but I think flins would be better without the long hair
Its a popular opinion
Ok good
I don’t even mind when the men have long hair, like Neuv long hair looks good, Dilucs ratty ponytail matches his rats nest, but like the long hair for flins just doesn’t match
Those dead yellow eyes are amazing
Yea it's like they gave him short hair then added a second layer of hair on top
This reminds me of the manlet meme template
A lot of the nod krai people are fashion roadkill tbh
Story of most female characters too
Ye
Lauma had to scavenge for her dress 
Specially cause they look good but they could look better if they just tweaked something
Ineffa is perfect
Do you guys know varesa's best comp?
Lauma is lore accurate but they should lean into the creepy ness
I have her and I'm wondering if she needs flins comp too
Varesa Iansan Chevreuse PMC
Pmc? Really? I didn't expect that
I guess mc finally has a use
PMC is actually good
Mavuika is better here but
PMC is a good substitute
More farming for me
PMC builds totm iirc
Yea I can't use mavuika here because she's on my melt ganyu comp
PMC can work there too
They are pretty great
Is the off field pyro app that good?
I've been looking for a way to make vap Nilou easier to play and if pmc works I'll have to check it out

It isnt that strong
But suffices for Varesa / Mualani / Kinich
Oh shame
Dumb question since it's for a reddit hypothetical, but in the event that we (and it will never happen most likely) get a catalyst that increases Charged Attack speed, would it allow Neuvi's CA ticks to be faster ? I assume not and that they're fixed intervals and not tied to animations (like Beidou's passive and her CA animations), but still want to make sure.
