So I was pissing around with Chasca some more in the trial. For anyone else that plays in English audio, does she get a fucking Australian accent in her moveset? Like her idle lines and voice lines are all the standard EN voice for her, but it sounds like when you're attacking with her she gets a weird fucking accent. I tried finding a Youtube video to demonstrate but they all have some youtuber talking over her lines.

Heavy attack arrow 2 in the bottom row (the row with 3).

Ganyu official birthday art. A real kick to the nuts for people that bought her outfit and haven't gotten to use it yet because she never had a rerun since it went for sale lol.

Whew boy, Mavuika nerfs round 1 are in, and people are NOT happy. I know there's always doomposting when betas happen, and this is no exception.

She got wiped across the board, lower charge attack modifiers to prevent the donuts, lower off-field damage and her Ascension passive got moved to Constellation 4 just to make her worse off-field unless you pay up.

I was personally hoping to see the motorcycle mode NOT be the default attacking mode (burst is fine), but that remains unchanged.

*edit*

They worked on Citlali's animations and SFX to make it smoother and more expressive. She looks really good.

Well don't forget that they'll both be available the entire patch, starting in 5.3. So you have the whole patch to think about one or both or niether.

I'm still a little pissy about Mav's kit, but so far my (expensive) plans for 5.3 are C2R1 for Mav, and a copy of Citlali. Subject to change, depending on how the beta goes. Either way, I will roll both of them, regardless of how deep I go on Mav and her weapon.

Just did new theater and it was a pain to get the flower against the damn wenut. That stupid boss should be kept out of theater and abyss and any other timed event.

Yeah, same for that mechanical worm that was in the previous one. Those are all about RNG. Not fun.

To be expected really. She was absolutely cracked before, whereas now she's about on Arle's level. Maybe they'll buff her slightly in the coming weeks. I'm more surprised they nerfed Citlali too. Less damage, pretty mediocre shield. Sure, her supportive abilities are powerful, but you'd expect them to tune her up a bit to compete with Mavuika.

True, but to get any kind of crazy numbers above standard, you really need Xilonen for Mav. But I guess the same is true for any DPS with a custom tailored 5* support. I still am a little upset that they're fucking her off-field application. I almost prefer Archons having unique off-field gimmicks that make them virtually future proof. Mav will undoubtedly get powercrept as a DPS before the game is over and then what does she have? They should have given her "out of Natlan" phlogiston or at least enabled the Natlan quickswap when she's in the team, outside of Natlan. Then she could have been the de-facto Traversal Archon and had something unique to her for the length of the game.

I've resigned that a dps motorcycle is what we get though, I don't think any big changes will happen in future betas. Just some % up or down.

Looks like Genshin (along with WuWa and ZZZ) are up for "Players' Voice" votes in TGA:

Finally some 4th wall breaking lore I can get behind. Bounty put out on "shippers". HoYo striking out against 85% of the HoYolab community.

All characters are balanced to be used with strong supports like Bennett, Kazuha etc. I don't see this any differently.

I agree. Hopefully they buff her off-field performance so she's a bit more future-proof.

New 5.3 world boss theme song. It's pretty damn good.

Spoiler: Spoiler tagging because there's a .jpg of the boss and arena in the video, in case anyone cares about that.

Yeah, story leaks imo should go to the spoiler realm. Don't wanna see the boss.

@ Imaginarium talk, personally I'm mixed about it. On one hand, it's another end-game mode and I don't really have any troubles smashing it to bits (got a very broad roster), but on the other, I don't really like relying on RNG to make my teams and having to come up with these taped together abomination comps.

They should just let us use the entire roster (with the cycle's theme limitation) from the get go while still keeping vigor, expand the buff system in place of companion cards and buff up the monsters a bit to offset.

It feels like ever since Yu-peng Chen left genshin music has lacked something - it's still fine to good, but there was something about his compositions that just stuck to you. He really knew how to make banger leitmotifs.

Been slowly exploring around the new Natlan areas and unlocking the teleporters, and I did not expect to see a Simon and Garfunkel reference. (or should I say Simeon and Carbuncle).

Also Frank Drebin namedropped directly without a pun.

It's stuff like this that constantly makes me wonder what age group Genshin is going for. The last few summer events have been toddler tier and now they make references to stuff that most people under 30 would have no idea about.

*edit*

Looks like we're getting some Mavuika fund primos for Genshin winning the Playstation Excellence award.
