New patch drops in Genshin next week right
shrewd plinth
Yup!
reef elm
So excited
shrewd plinth
Yeah, same! I hope my pulls go well
shrewd plinth
Yup!
rocky palm
i might log in and chuck a couple pulls towards Varesa, I'm still slightly disappointed she's not a "true" luchador but her animations are v nice
I love that they gave her the old scooby doo run
shrewd plinth
I have a guarantee, 25 pity and a over 100 pulls so I'm guaranteed to get her. I'm considering going for her signature weapon as well, as I don't plan to pull for the rest of the patch after her
crisp birch
Yes
shrewd plinth
First half is Varesa & Xianyun, with Iansan as a 4 star on her banner
Second half is Xilonen & Venti
rocky palm
Zamn
This is my punishment for not actively playing Genshin 
At least I should be able to guarantee Trigger
reef elm
Think I’m going to alternate ten pulls on xianyun and Cara’s banner
Varesa
Might change on her trial and story quest
reef elm
Not enough pulls
Unless I explore Fontaine/sumeru and I’m liable to get bored before then
shrewd plinth
That's fair
Also, you've just reminded me that there's gonna be a new exploration area with the new update...

@rocky palm how important is huohuo for Aglaea's ult rotations
rocky palm
<@425312300610748426> how important is huohuo for Aglaea's ult rotations
i don't have her so can't really say tbh
I think Sunday + ERR rope is generally enough though
But if you're willing to go for Huohuo I would suggest just going for e1 Aglaea
reef elm
Yeah! I can't wait to see how the Natlan world quest ends
Yeah more excited for this than the mains story lol
rocky palm
Which is better than Sunday and Huohuo combined
reef elm
I named my saurian gishath lol
rocky palm
To put numbers to Aglaea's energy stuff
at e0
eBasic = 20
memoSkill = 10
with ERR rope those become roughly 24 and 12
shrewd plinth
Yeah more excited for this than the mains story lol
Yeah, same!
I ended up naming my Saurian buddy Rocky. I would've done Rocky Balboa if I could add a space, but spaces aren't allowed for some reason
rocky palm
Sunday gives 70 with his ult, Huohuo gives 70 with her ult
With e1
eBasic = 60
memoSkill = 30
it's unnecessary to run ERR rope at e1 but you can, which makes those 72 and 36
but the basic jist is that e1 Aglaea gives you a Sunday's ult worth of energy every single turn
also also i will leave the last part of evidence which is me saying that I currently massively overcap on energy for Aglaea and I don't use any energy battery aside from Sunday (meaning no QPQ Gallagher or Huohuo or current MoC buffs)
and I use attack rope
rocky palm

the new event in HSR
It is the most bare minimum piece of shit i've ever seen lol
it's just a copy paste of their previous daily log in events

fiery geyser

||Archer, right? 💀 ||
fiery geyser
if it's just them giving old chars global passives
we’re so cooked if that happens
rocky palm
There's some info saying that we might get free characters with 3.2 and the banner rework
But to be completely honest, I don't really give a shit about getting most of the old characters
foggy vortex
Gacha crossovers suck, the characters can't be mechanically unique because they're available once (twice if they're lucky) and then gone forever.
foggy vortex
By design there cannot be a niche that only a crossover character can fill because they are in every way inaccessible.

but have you considered this one cool fact

rocky palm
Alternatively
We make it so that characters don't constantly powercreep each other
And she's good for the next 8 patches

then where does freeze come from
the opposite of burn

now alternatively
could just do freezice
think of it more as a name suffix than a seperate word
rocky palm
But people will also for powerful kits
Her kit IS powerful tho
And a different character doesn't have to be dramatically better to also have a powerful kit
But people are legitimately complaining that the new top 1 dps isn't top 1 enough
fiery geyser
Her kit IS powerful tho
Oh yeah, I’m not denying that
I just mean they’re maintaining the powercreep because people will always pull if a character feels really strong
rocky palm
Yeah, I just wish they could make character's different enough that people find them unique and THAT be the primary incentivization for pulling
Aaaaand more castorice buffs
Anaxa got nerfed, somewhat unbelievably

Yeah that's what I was talking about last night
Honestly nuts
The only thing she arguably needed was an e2 change and I would've said she needs base kit nerfs more than anything
Character is going be so broken and she doesn't even have her bis healer yet
wicked gazelle
Hyacine leaks look bonkers for her
||hp burn and healing||
E2 did get buffed too btw
10% recharge on ult
rocky palm
Cipher is going to be broken too
Yeah, it's just so shitty
I do not understand why they can't just have characters be equally strong in diverse ways
rocky palm
I swear to god if Phainon ends up not powercreeping anyone bc he's male I might lose it
wicked gazelle
But while feasible, that's much harder to design and do and keep doing. Compared to. More health enemy > more damage characters
But i also think hsr is held back significantly by being 4 slot, turnbased
rocky palm
This is true
The gameplay is limited in player interaction, so most of the team strength boils down to character kits
But also, Hoyo is a multibillion dollar company with huge resources
They COULD spend time creatively making character's different enough to not have this issue
wicked gazelle
And they keep those billions by not giving it to the poors that work for them silly
rocky palm
But it's far easier for them to do constant powercreep and print money by capitalizing off of the general playerbase that simply doesn't care and will pull anyways

I just know I'm going to have to watch as Hyacine gets buffed 2-3 times in the beta and every single comment will be going "Jiaoqiu could never LOL!"

Doesn’t help that there’s almost no events every patch

Stupid evil devs that I hate

at least Anaxa looks fun
idk why he doesn't have a unique skill animation
when Castorice has so much effort put into her
rocky palm
No events, constant powercreep that is seemingly increasing in rate, Hoolay buff #7029, male character hatred
rocky palm
when Castorice has so much effort put into her
I saw an interesting comment the other day that was basically saying people are going to get sick of her animations eventually bc of how long they are
Anaxa's could definitely be flashier but at least they're short and somewhat sweet
Will say though that her animations are super sick even if they're long
plain bluff
yeah, that's totally fair
but I think it'd have been nice if Anaxa's skill looked a bit more interesting
like Acheron's skill
plain bluff
at least he got buffed
rocky palm
As was also evidenced by the beta changes
plain bluff
I was totally expecting him to get gutted
or nothing
but the v4 buffs were super nice
v5 nerfs are unfortunate but his LC is better now
rocky palm
I still don't really agree with the way they took his kit but it is what it is
rocky palm
v5 nerfs are unfortunate but his LC is better now
Roughly 2.7% nerf so not really anything tbh
I think his lc was better with cr though, he already has so much damage %
plain bluff
yeah
but he's better with Sunday now
since he can focus more on other stats without the risk of overcapping cr

Pretty much confirmed for 3.2 last I checked
reef elm
Oh no
rocky palm
Returning alongside JQ iirc
reef elm
Probably gonna be easier to get jq s1 over e3+4 Acheron lol
rocky palm
Yeah
I lost on a super early 5* on Tribbie's banner so I'm definitely not going for JQ e1 anymore
Have to save that guarantee for Phainon
Honestly debating his s1 rn though since solitary healing lets him spam ult faster, and gets more Tribbie energy
wicked gazelle
I'm kinda regretting tribbie ngl
wicked gazelle
Shoulda saved
rocky palm
She seems non impactful without e1
I kind of agree after reflecting on her
She's a very generalist support at e0 unless you have Therta
Doesn't really outperform JQ as a generalist
wicked gazelle
She builds ult really really fast
rocky palm
E1 though is broken as shit
rocky palm
It's really weird though
Her e1 is really inconsistent bc of how it works
Additional damage doesn't proc on enemies who are already dead
So with Acheron's ult, she might only get +48% damage if she kills the weak mobs with the first two swings
wicked gazelle
Ah so you're getting less damage than you thought
rocky palm
It's still a gigantic upgrade but yeah
There's a lot of variability where my damage will go between 1.3m and 1.7m
And nothing changes besides an enemy dying early or not
wicked gazelle
Have you seen cipher leaks?
reef elm
Impulse pulls are truly the demons of hsr
Same lol I used my 30 pulls I had and somehow won 50:50 now I have no pulls
humble citrus

shes pink haired barbara so i guess
rocky palm
Have you seen cipher leaks?
Yep
Yet another Nihility that probably won't work for Acheron
rocky palm
Depends if her stack generation outweighs the damage amplification of Pela
wicked gazelle
Or if she just deals so much damage it won't matter
rocky palm
Which I find unlikely tbh
rocky palm
Or if she just deals so much damage it won't matter
This is a strong argument for her
For e0 at least
plain bluff
Or if she just deals so much damage it won't matter
Acheron can be her subdps
rocky palm
Now that I have Tribbie I don't need a sub dps
wicked gazelle
Yeah they'll be hard pressed to make a better bis than jq
rocky palm
lowkey hoping he's one of the characters who gets buffed
wicked gazelle
He needs it
rocky palm
there's almost 0 chance that he is, but it would be nice
lowering his ehr requirements would be nice
putting his damage amplification back to what it used to be would be better though
wicked gazelle
If her debuff can apply to multiple enemies i think she might have legs
plain bluff

He’s blast
But it’s weird
Bc it does blast but also bounces
At the same time
So it just ends up sucking lmao
rocky palm
Bc it does blast but also bounces
that's wack lol
crisp birch
Yup
rocky palm
so like first hit is proper blast and then the rest are bounce or something?
rocky palm
ooo, that's quite cool then
rocky palm
clara erasure
and clara 2 bc i forgor her
crisp birch
If it targeted the strongest enemy on the main hit
It’d be fine
But it doesn’t
So you can end up losing like
Half of your damage
Just by having 2 or more enemies on field
rocky palm
gotcha
crisp birch
It gets worse with each additional enemy
rocky palm
yeah it's pretty crazy that they gave that affect to Tribbie
crisp birch
Which is why you want his ult and skill to kill the adds
rocky palm
ig you might not know about it but basically all her damage goes towards the enemy with the highest hp
crisp birch
If there’s two bosses it’s fine but if it’s one and some ads it’s horrible

the 4 stars on the first half is so good I want to gaslight myself into pulling ...
I mean, unless you're lacking a good Natlan DPS, I'd go for Xianyun over Varesa.
Worst-case, she's a team-wide healer that can hold VV
Best-case, she enables a whole new playstyle for some of your DPS that could cause them to deal more damage
muted tundra
I don't have any DPS chars from Natlan though I do consider saving for Mavuika and her teammates

@rocky palm am i crazy for trying inert salsetto on tribbie
shrewd plinth
I don't have any DPS chars from Natlan though I do consider saving for Mavuika a...
Then that's fair
Varesa's best team includes Mavuika, Chev and Iansan so if you pull her you'll be able to get 3/4 of her best team.
However, if you want to grab some of the other characters that are running in 5.5, then I'd say just wait for Mav who's likely going to rerun before the end of 5.0
Since the archon tends to rerun at least once before their version is over
muted tundra
my fear is that Mavuika's best teammates are going to run in consecutive patches

Mualani is most likely next patch

I hope there's going to be some time after Xilonen

Though I could see them rerunning Mav in 5.6 as well, though she could also be in 5.7 with (potentially) Skirk

Lushaka is unfortunately not doing anything for cas
Which is why I figured i should run the crit set
The penacony set might be good too...

this video basically helps my point about Genshin not being beginner friendly at the time I hopped in
especially how guidemakers and CCs tend to assume everyone already has multiple copies of older 4* chars and 4* weapons already when trying to get to that point is massively unreliable and not worth it as is now
because in their minds and in their circles pretty much everyone who plays now are playing since version one

Yeah, getting a specific 4 star to c6 must be hell now (or it’s always been hell, but for a newer player)

Oh that one’s pretty great
Wonder how long HoYoLAB takes to update
Cause the circlet is still the old one
I think I’ll try and make a good goblet for arlechino that’s onset and the give her old one that rolled really well to mavuika
reef elm
Yeah I hate that domain
I tried like 20 times and haven’t had the motivation to do it again
shrewd plinth
Got her!
I had to go to soft pity, but it could've been way worse!
Dammit...
Well, I got 2 Chev and Gaming cons as well, so I'll take it!
no Iansan though...
fiery geyser
shrewd plinth
I'm already at 43 pity on the weapon banner, so I'm only a bit of exploration away from getting her weapon
Still kinda sucks that I lost the 50/50 though
fiery geyser
and thank god they changed the weapon banner fate points awhile ago
the old one would’ve had you risk another 50/50
shrewd plinth
Yuuuuup
shrewd plinth
My first circlet on the new plunge set!
It may not be too great, but two rolls in both ATK% and Crit Rate is pretty good

does firefly E2 just extend how long she's in her enhanced form for?

One of the new areas 100%, now onto the second one!
reef elm
Dang already
shrewd plinth
Technically I should be working as well, but I have nothing to do and I work remotely today so...
reef elm
Oh nice
rocky palm
You want to know the hilarious thing
There's a small chance this doesn't apply to Gallagher
Since characters technically heal themselves via the debuff
His ult and skill should still trigger it but those obviously have much worse uptimes
Anyways the other set is based around single target buffs
Which lines up with Phainon leaks so far
Something about res pen and attack buffs after building up x amount of buffs/markers
wicked gazelle
His ult and skill should still trigger it but those obviously have much worse up...
I mean if you can get to 160+ with 4pc I don't see why not
rocky palm
I mean if you can get to 160+ with 4pc I don't see why not
Don't see why not what
wicked gazelle
Why not run 4pc
Its better than having 15% BR imo
Unless you really need to hit the cas breakpoints
rocky palm
I mean yeah it's better no matter what
But I'm not going to refarm rn if it's an 8% buff that Gallagher can only have uptime on half the time
wicked gazelle
I'm still in poet mines rn
BTW what's the how big of a difference does an err rope make on tribbie?
rocky palm
BTW what's the how big of a difference does an err rope make on tribbie?
Run ERR rope unless you have s1
The difference should obviously be about 20%
wicked gazelle
Ok but what if I spent 4k mats and 1k resin and still haven't seen an err rope
wicked gazelle
Kinda sorta?
I feel like blade can make use of salsetto with jade
But that means I need to farm more for jade
Who isn't high on my list if I get cas
rocky palm
I feel like blade can make use of salsetto with jade
Up to you then
If you're farming anyways then just keep farming until you get an ERR rope
wicked gazelle
Just curious, how many gold resins do you have?
shrewd plinth
Got it early!
shrewd plinth
I had 130 to start with as I hadn't pulled since the 2nd half of 5.3, and I've basically been doing quests and exploration all day
I just did a bit of math, I've spent a total of 159 pulls today alone to get Varesa C0R1 plus a copy of Xianyun's signature due to a 50/50 loss
reef elm
Now you gotta go for Xianyun
shrewd plinth
Yeah, that's kinda the plan
I'm gonna be pulling on Xianyun's banner in hopes of getting Iansan, and if I get Xianyun in the process then I won't be mad
reef elm
Makes sense

the replies section is a dumpsterfire
fiery geyser
the replies section is a dumpsterfire
Some of the other VAs piling on him 💀
muted tundra
it sort of tells us that they don't appreciate people they see as scabs
its also kinda weird none of the industry people tried to dispute the narrative that the interim agreement is a diet exclusivity contract for SAGAFTRA actors up until now
they still act like this is only about AI voice protection
which makes me whether if this is admitting to that narrative by not challenging at all
fiery geyser
muted tundra
if they are admitting to that narrative, there is basically two scenarios for every VA that still talks in favor the strike to this day
- They are a bit slow and horribly out of the loop
- They are aware how this deal will effect the industry and their colleagues that are non union, but don't care since they already made it in the industry and these sorts of deals means more work for them
regardless if I'm horribly wrong or not, looking all the dogpiling Jacob, I'm starting to feel conflicted about VAs that I once held in high regard in that replies section
reef elm
I believe paimons va was chiming in even though she gets the most lines in Genshin
crisp birch
Yeah paimons va is contracted directly by hoyoverse too, due to problems with the va studio they used
So she’s quite literally the most safe va in hoyoverse
fiery geyser
does firefly E2 just extend how long she's in her enhanced form for?
Late af answer but not really
With or without e2, it’ll still end at the same time
the extra turn is included in that same turn (I worded that poorly)
basically, you do 2 actions within the same action value
So you don’t get more uptime in the sense that combustion still ends when it does, but you get more uptime to do funny FF stuff
fiery geyser
Yeah I hate that domain
I forgot also, but they put the whimsy set into the strongbox
humble citrus
basically, you do 2 actions within the same action value
so it’s more like action advance
or does every action FF take get 2x
fiery geyser
so it’s more like action advance
Yes and no
You basically get a second turn right away with 100% AA
The only thing though is during the extra turn granted by E2, other character’s ults wont be activated until the turn is over
fiery geyser
or does every action FF take get 2x
No, E2 has a 1 turn cooldown
Were you thinking about going for it?
humble citrus
Yeah, it would def make running FF+Himeko a lot easier to use
fiery geyser
humble citrus
I just wish we could customize which TB version per team
kinda a hassle to constantly swap when i wanna go from break to memosprite teams

I don’t follow anything about genshin much but they recasted some of their voice actors or just like 1?
shrewd plinth
Literally just one, then a bunch of SAG-affiliated VAs dogpiled him for 'breaking the strike'
Keep in mind, this new VA for Kinich is based in Japan and had zero idea the strike was happening
fiery geyser
The take that he’s “stealing” someone’s else job is insane
shrewd plinth
Yeah...
jaunty badger
So why were they recast anyways
shrewd plinth
The original VA was on strike, so they weren't working, and since the character has voiced lines in the current update they just decided to replace him
jaunty badger
I see
And then the new guy was in Japan and doesn’t even know about the strike
But they still blamed him
