Genshin Impact (PC/PS5/PS4/NSW/iOS) - Open-World Action RPG - 2020

Is that tanned girl with the great sword going to be a char? I might just now hold back all my gems for her.

I'm interested in that char with a shield though depending on how it's used, but I think that's a 4 star.

Deyha is supposedly a 5* character, according to leaks, but no specific ETA yet, so at least two patches before a beta.

Candace is a 4*, and has a Beido-like skill and infuses water for non-bow and catalyst characters, but doesn't really have a spot atm if you have Childe. Her normal's hit like a truck though, according to multipliers, so if you could get enough fire application, she could smack some nice Vaporize reactions. She looks nice though.

I think Nahida is going to break and/or bust Dendro but it will be behind cons to do so.

Apparently Dehya is going to be 3.5, which is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because you can save more. Curse because I kinda really want her now.

Don't forget your master-less star glitter, which can be turned into wishes. I've got 80 built up just from that, though Lisa/Kaeya/Amber rotation are starting again this month. Once I have those, there's not much need for them until/if they update the shop.

and then baizhu in 3.6, why is sumeru so much harder on my wallet than inazuma lol

[Yuri-G]

how did y'alls pulls turn out? C1 Candace, went from C4 to C9 or so on Sayu, and still at C0 Kuki which sucks. but overall can't complain since the Candace luck was decent

[Kachiko]

I'm waiting to see Nilou's 4*'s before I roll, but if it's mostly older characters, I'll likely roll till soft pity on Cino, get Nilou, then go all in on Nahida C2, since that sets up Dendro forever.

[Gokulo]

Was only interested in getting Candance and Kuki (because I wasn't playing when she came out). Was hoping to get both in around 10 pulls, but it ended up being more like 20. Also did a couple of pulls on the weapon banner and ended up with Gorou C3, lol.

[Ayn]

I'm probably saving for Ayato.

I went all in on Raiden C2 and got it, but felt pretty underwhelming.

Only Archon at this point I'm interesting in advancing constellations on is Zhongli.

[Obsidian]

Not super interested in Cyno even though his burst does feel pretty fun to use. Took about 55 pulls to get to C1 Candice and C2 Kuki, was perfectly fine stopping there.

[Gokulo]

Well dang, standard banner gave me Aquila Favonia, so that's pretty sweet

Ehh, I'll never live down that kid dendro archon, Greater Lord would be so much cooler

Ooh! That's awesome man, congrats!

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about the kid Archon.. but hey, might be good

[Gokulo]

It's really a shame there's still no underground maps considering the amount of areas that are underground in the desert

Also, Nahida's gameplay leaked:

Spoiler: show

Damn thing is a Reality Marble/Domain Expansion, lol. Wonder how it will look in small closed in spaces.

And Layla gameplay:

Hoyoverse is going all out with these animations goddam

[Kachiko]

Nahida heard you liked buffs. So she buffs, her weapon buffs, her ascension buffs, and her constellations buff your damage. Basically, her skill links enemies and they all take dendro damage when you create a reaction on any of them, and her burst buffs all reactions in various ways, based on fire/electro/hydro members in the party, up to count 2, and under it's dome. C1 appears to always give you count 1 of each, no mater the party make up, and C2 lets the non-critable dendro reactions crit at a fixed rate of 20% chance to do 100% more damage or shred defense by 30% for the ones that do. Default 100% uptime on both, and her burst area is fucking gigantic; like the entire Abyss floor gigantic.

Initial impression is stop at C1 and go for the weapon, but weapons are always bait; if not, go for C2. The Widsth probably be pretty damn good on her as is, since she can use all three buffs and double-dips on the EM one.

[Yuri-G]

that swing animation is ungodly cute... god damn dude, I was already going to roll for her, you don't have to make her so perfect!

also, FRIENDLY REMINDER TIME: the archon quests that are available now give enough reputation XP that you should be able to start bounties and weekly reputation quests, so get them done this week if you want to get started on those green wings sooner! that is, unless you're one of those people who grinded out 3.0 sumeru and is already there

time to build phys keqing!

Get to farming those fungi, because Nahida uses them for everything, including even her weapon apparently

Just make sure not to use Pyro or Electro or else you screw yourself over. Seeing lots of complaints about that on Reddit and they feel justified. How are you going to push for people to use new reactions then basically punish them for it.

Also, you're going to need the same Lotuses that Toghnari used for Nahida, so might as well get a head start on those as well.

Ascension mats for Nahida and Layla (spoilered for size)

Yeah, I hated farming those because for me it was standard to have Raiden in my party. I finally caved in and just made a separate team to farm those

actually it's even worse... nahida uses the mats for dori, not tighnari. you know, the ones that only grow on the very edge of a cliff and are super annoying to grab? altho layla still uses tighnari's mats so you'll want those too. at least no one else is using collei's obnoxious mushrooms.

also, is there even a way to use the inactivated fungi? like can you trade them in for something? I haven't seen anything, it seems like they are just filler items?

[Gokulo]

Either filler items or future characters maybe?

There's an NPC in Aranara that sells the lotus that Nahida needs at least
