Genshin Impact - Capitano Waiting Room

[Yuri-G]

New thread for Natlan, old thread was getting too big.

"Hey there, Xilonen! So, about the sunglasses you made me last time... Got a couple of details I'd like to adjust, especially with the temple tip patterning... Hmm? Where'd she go? It's not even time for her lunch break yet... Hey! Xilonen! You there? C'mon, let's go over the particulars of the glasses manufacturing process again—"
—Thus exclaimed Mavuika at a high volume in front of Xilonen's workshop

◆ Xilonen
◆ Ardent Flames Forge the Soul
◆ Nanatzcayan Smith
◆ Vision: Geo
◆ Constellation: Panthera Ocelota

Sorry Mualani and Kiniche, but I'm definitely skipping you both for Xilonen. Woof.

[Kachiko]

Definitely, the way to start off a new Genshin thread. Targeting her and "Pyro Archon", though Mualani looks fun, and Kinich will probably be an aggravate monster with Fischle.

[Obsidian]

I'd have to look at his kit again but I think he also has some damage bonuses tied to Burning and Burgeon reactions, which means he'd do well with Emilie. I'm sure he'll be good at Aggravate as well, but Fischl actually doesn't always work super well with Spread abusers because the Spread reaction does not trigger her A4 passive, unlike Aggravate (and Hyperbloom?).

[RalphTheDwarf]

I did as much as I could before the update. Sadly, my imaginarium theater cast remains in shambles and I need to put in a lot of effort to even meet the minimum requirements. lol On the bright side, Navia absolutely wrecking some of the bosses I had trouble with in the past (mainly those damn Geo bosses with shields or constructs to break).

[Gokulo]

If you want recommendations, the characters I'd try to get up first from your roster are Nahida, Fischl, Kazuha, Xingqiu and maybe Tighnari (unless you plan to go after Kinichi, so he'll fill your dendro dps slot)

[Obsidian]

Also if you didn't already realize, if you hold Zhongli's skill, it'll do a Geo-breaking pulse when it gives you the shield. It does a lot of damage to Geo shields and constructs.

[Kachiko]

No need for Xingqiu with Yelan. Layla is also a "sleeper" hit; shield is pretty decent and procs a strong ice as does her ultimate, which has very low energy costs. Pair her with Rosiaria, add Bennet and Diluc, and you'll have a really strong melt team that mimics one of my strongest, which subs in Arlle for Diluc.

[Gokulo]

No need for Xingqiu with Yelan

I don't think that's true anymore when we have Theater, having additional unit with such a strong utility for that mode will always be good

There are a lot of places where XQ is still actually as good or better than Yelan, particularly on teams where the main carry has a lot of field time because his rain swords last a lot longer than Yelan's dice, on top of giving you the damage resistance and interruption resistance. It's also nice to have them both because you can use them on separate teams for Imaginarium Theatre and two teams for the Spiral Abyss.

[Gokulo]

Well, thanks to Saurians and Natlan character mounts this region at least won't be a pain in the ass to traverse. Feels a lot closer to how good travelling is on Wuwa

[Obsidian]

Good luck to all Mualani wanters! I got my Diluc C4 from the selector, sorry Tighnari. Maybe I'll get you from a 50/50 some day.

Xilonen's kit is out, she roller blades and does resistance shred for the elements on her team. Sign me up.

[Gokulo]

Yeaaah, the whole "mount" system just adds another layer to consider when choosing who to pull >.>

[RalphTheDwarf]

Seems ok so far, going to take a while to wrap my boomer brain around the new movement mechanics. Ignored the main story and went exploring to unlock all the teleport points but did get to the main city. I didn't see a reputation checker icon or option to set daily quests there so guess I haven't unlocked it yet.

[Obsidian]

The mounts are one thing, but being able to do resistance shred at nearly VV levels (with a longer duration) without having to go through the hassle of swirling things is a big thing. Being a healer on top of that is tremendous role consolidation, and on top of all that, her C1 also provides interruption resistance to the elements on her team. Xilonen + Furina is going to be an extremely potent combo for a ton of teams.

Also she's hot.

It's not in the "city' this time - reputation is related to tribes and each tribe has it's own npc. But need to advance the story to unlock that, yeah

Xilonen animation leaks got me feeling some type of way. Woof.

[Gokulo]

Just finished the Archon quest, this was a very strong start for Natlan, can't wait to see what's coming later. Overall 5.0+ is shaping up to be something great

Managed to get my 1st tribe to rank 1 to unlock bounties - they way they work now is that there isnt' a different bounty for each difficulty, instead you can pick whichever of the 3 bounties you prefer, you go to it, there's a signpost and you use it to select bounty difficulty

And instead of quests you have supply notice - you just deliver items directly at the reputation npc

[Obsidian]

The music slaps in this region, very underrated part of the whole package.

[The Stig]

I'm definitely not pulling until Xilonen
Getting her no matter what. Even if she becomes a Dehya.
Haven't decided on my 5 star pick yet.

Dehya can be C2
Jean can be C1
qiqi lolno
I have Tig, don't like him in general though, not really played him
Diluc can be C3 but I dislike his gameplay a bit
Keqing can be C2
Mona can be C2

I might go Dehya so I can eventually use her more lol or they might fix/adjust her in the future
