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

[Tomiko]

Got all my characters to L10 friendship...

Completed this the other day as well. Nice not having to feed the puppy 10x/day (for now).

Completed the BP and grabbed my rewards all at once. Used my Standard banner wishes and got Yuri's C6 Lisa with them. Kaeya is my last starter Pokemon that isn't C6 (think C2 or 3).

[Yuri-G]

I hope you use Lisa C6, she's a pretty good nuker

I got my Gorou after too many Barbara's and with 480 primos left. Good enough

[Tomiko]

I'll have to work on her artifacts and leveling talents past 6 since she only has basic artifacts from when I was maxing her friendship, but it will be done.

Used up my saved wishes:

2 Gorou, a bunch of Xianglings and lost the 50/50 to Keqing (C2 now). I think I'm about 25ish into the guarantee now. I'm going to wait on deciding if I want Itto until I hear what the next banners are since I plan on getting Shenhe (and hopefully her weapon).

72 pulls on the weapon banner got me Skyward Harp #2 (pull 62) & Redhorn (pull 72). I'm debating if I want to level up the Harp or infuse it since I don't "need" a 2nd copy but it could be useful. I also rarely do Abyss anymore, so the odds of needing 2 copies of any given weapon at once are very low for me.

Edit: Some questionable banner leaks:

Spoiler: show

Raiden - 2.5
Kazuha - 2.5 or 2.6

Next characters to get costumes after Ningguang and Keqing are rumoured to be from Monstadt (no other info yet).

Short Yaoyao clip at the end of the first tweet:

When she comes out I'll need to terrorize Teyvat with a team of Klee, Sayu, Qiqi and Yaoyao.

[Yuri-G]

Yaoyao asap pls, can't wait

I might do some Xmas rolls on Itto as he is surprisingly strong and a lot of fun to play. But I might also just save for Yae Miko who is definitely for real actually coming soon this time... probably

[Obsidian]

He looks fun and fairly good, but I don't have enough primos saved to guaranteed get his weapon, nor am I willing to build a Whiteblind for him. He also needs Zhongli who I currently have glued to Eula/Raiden. Maybe when his re-run comes around I'll try for him, but for now I'm just gonna keep holding for Yae (and maybe Shenhe).

[Katlan]

I like Itto a lot but I am holding strong for Ganyu rerun (which is coming next) and Yae.

[Kachiko]

I like Itto but I feel he's lacking without a Gorou, which I didn't get any before I won the 50/50. Was actually a pretty shitty run outside of that, but I really would like Gorou. Problem is, I'm not getting C4, which is kinda what you need to run Itto, Albedo, Gorou, and Zhongli since I don't do 5* weapons or 5* constellations to brute force Abyss. Team works with Bennett, but a bit low on Energy Recharge so there's some down time on Itto Burst, depending on the enemy. C6 Noelle does fill that ER problem but then Itto Burst damage goes down.

If I did pull enough to get him, I could actually swap her to full DPS mode, but then I'd have to drop Albedo and then I'm probably back to ER problems unless I drop Zhongli, and then it's a shield problem. Actually leaning towards Itto/Albedo/Noelle/Zhong where Noelle is swap burst DPS with Itto proccing Albedo all day long and leaving puppy boy out of it.

Gotta think about this...

[Gokulo]

On the other hand I got Gorou but not Itto. I think I'll wait for the stream to see if I want to try pulling some more for him or save for upcoming banners

[Yuri-G]

I did roll for Itto and got Mona C2. Not what I wanted but now I have guarantee for Yae Miko

[Kachiko]

Okay, so, Itto actually does slightly better with an ATK vs DEF Sands artifact but it's not a huge difference. My DEF and ATK on him are almost 50/50 split with 77% Crit Chance and 177ish Crit Damage, with 125 ER. Boy just shreds and with the Husk set I built for Noelle, I now have zero energy problems, Noelle hits for 12K CA's on burst, and she heals for about 1.4K damage a hit, which is almost twice as high as the damn healing set that had a huge DEF focus.

Can only imagine how much better it would be with Gorou but I wonder how he compares to Zhongli's shred, though with the damage the team does now, I don't know it matters....

[Yuri-G]

gorou vs zhongli seemed close enough on albedo's E that it didn't really matter. I don't see a lot of reason to bring gorou over zhongli. bringing them both makes for big numbers though!

I just did one of the misty dungeon trials with Kazuha and now all I want is for his rerun to show up so I can pull him, such a fun character

[Obsidian]

I think I'm one of the few people that really doesn't find Kazuha all that fun. Super useful, very strong, but I dunno. Just don't love the swirl spam (partly because you can't always be as precise as you want about which element he's absorbing).

[Kachiko]

I did end up picking Gorou in the next 30 rolls, and he really super-charges a Defense based attack team. Noelle is up to 15K Autos, during burst, and 1.8k heals. Albedo is 20Kish, and Itto is 23K+ as well, and it's pretty smooth to swap ults between Noelle and Itto. Missing the shield is noticeable but the damage is kinda nuts, even at C0 constellations, sans Noelle, who is C6.

[Gokulo]

This event is really great for checking out all the different characters you don't have and combinations. And getting sad at the fact that you don't have so many of them ;P

[Laugana]

Ugh the ice one was a pain in the arse, kept getting frozen. They could have given us some fire characters instead of all the water ones.

[Tomiko]

Rumour is the next livestream will be on Sunday.

First character banner of 2.4 was rumoured by Lumie (reliable leaker) to be:

Spoiler: show

Assuming this is true, I'm glad they're doing reruns with the new characters instead of just 2x rerun. Now if only they'd do separate weapon banners with the same pity system as characters.

Yun Jin has also been rumoured for awhile to be on the Xiao/Shenhe banners. Her getting a teaser at the Game Awards should confirm this.

[Gokulo]

God, I keep mistaking the hero for Albedo and putting the former in my pt by mistake and only realizing after I start a fight, such a pain :D

[Tomiko]

I assume you have Aether (and not Lumine), so I hope you also have (or get) Kazuha for even more confusion.

[Gokulo]

Yeah, don't have Kazuha yet, but I wouldn't mind him too, cuz he's fun to play ;P

[Tomiko]

O MIO DIO

Edit: Now this is what I expected from alternate skins. I can't wait.
