His weapon is a bigger dmg increase (unless you get high refine Sacrificial Jade from the BP) but you take the chance to loose to Zhongli's useless weapon.
Just wait for Lan Yan to pair with Neuvi for shielding and VV. Skip this weapon banner to avoid the brick spear.Non Zhongli, no furina, no any of those weapons
Also no Kazuha
Nice timing, I finally ran into issues with artifact space recently. I have too many locked potentially good artifacts and had to start going through them. Made it a quarter of the way through my artifact list before giving up.

Now I'll be able to put it off a while longer.
The interlude is very short and nothing of note happens so you can do it anytime. I think it actually adds an icon to your scroll.Damn I'm finishing up some of the limited time rewards quest things since we only have a bit of time left on them. The one area at the end of the "buddy" quest was pretty cool. Natlan has had some really great world quest locations, but I feel the story isn't as strong as other nations' world quests (the unvoiced ones). Everything here mostly points back to Xbalanque and the Pyro Sovereign Dragon and their history with each other. I'm only halfway though, I have to do the 2 new areas to see the rest of it, presumably. Maybe it gets more interesting. I've been holding off doing the current archon quest interlude with the new patch until I finish out the scroll with the little icons in it, (related to the ancient name), though I'm not sure if it matters or not. I just read the part where the quest says "go to the colosseum to start forging your ancient name and I don't want to go until I have all of the scroll slots filled in case it's story relevant later and those without all the slots get a lesser ending or something.
Ok thanks for that, in a game like Genshin with no take-backs, I wanted to make sure. I didn't lock myself out of the scroll stuff by moving forward without having done all of the world quests.
Alternatively I wish artifact dismantling and quick review were a thing way back from the early days of Genshin. Being able to turn trash artifacts into the xp potions would have been huge several versions ago. My artifact number went up and up, and now it's just an absolute chore to sit there and review every one. I have started reviewing them when they drop and locking the potentially decent ones though. That still won't matter when I need to sit there and comb numbers for hours to clean the rest.
My guesses:Fairly interesting stream today. The rumors were true and Mavuika and Citlali will run at the same time. No mention of this banner running longer than normal. Second half will have Arle and Clorinde along with Lan Yan. No cons for me unfortunately.
They're also bringing back the Chronicled Wish banner for Liyue. They've changed the rules so Shenhe can be on it, and it includes Ganyu, Childe, Xiao and Baizhu too.
More importantly, they teased the upcoming characters for the coming months:
So there's some mysteries here. I assume the one next to Iansan is the guy from Mondstadt that was leaked/rumored a while ago. I think his name was that of a flower. Then there's the Natlan vet, we know about him. But after that? Hard to say. Is that Varesa from Iansan's tribe? Kinda looks like Skirk to me... Is the fifth character the Inazuman girl? The cow girl has potential, maybe she's Varesa? That final character I would speculate to be from Snezhnaya.
So I'm pretty excited for all that. There was a part during the stream where it almost seemed like they were giving away a free Liyue 5-star, but no such luck. We're getting 20 wishes like normal and the 4-star selector.
Looking a bit more closely, I think she's supposed to be a chef. That's a cook's knife she's holding and the hat looks like one of those stereotypical chef's hats. They probably wouldn't tease Snezh this early, so I assume Fontaine or Mondstadt.
If the twink from 2 years ago can still make it in, there's hope for mummy girl too.
Yeah I'd be pissed too if I was low on resources. Seems especially rude to Asian players who may have wanted to use New Year's money on those characters.
Disappointing, but probably true. What a shame. A new element could really shake up the game again like it did for Dendro, and she'd be the perfect time to introduce it.
Apparently a reliable leaker? We'll see if this holds water.
Yea good call, probably a patisserie from Fontaine, now that you mention it.
Alright, just ordered 20 gallons of hopium, let's see when it runs out.If the twink from 2 years ago can still make it in, there's hope for mummy girl too.
It's just too much for one patch. When was the last time they introduced 2 new 5*s at the same time in the same banner duration? And this is when they bring back chronicled wish too, when people are already going to be dumping their savings. It just seems hateful towards the playerbase.
I imagine they're saving the action heavy parts for in the game itself. They've done a great job showing her actually doing stuff in Archon quests so far, I have faith they'll deliver for the finale. Regarding the bike, yea, I agree. It's fucking stupid (in Genshin). I think Mav in general would be better without the bike in all ways. Thematically, gameplay, etc.
Think it's required in Chinese games that no playable character can be irredeemably evil. She has to do "bad" things but she isn't "bad" herself.

Arl is one of the strongest of the "bad guys" in the game so it make sense she's strong. She was also raised essentially as a fighter from childhood. Plus there's the whole reverse world thing that hasn't been explained.
If you go back to the hoyo fair from a couple months ago, where Arl and Lyney play the video game hits a lot harder now when you watch it.
3:40 is also good.
I thought it was explicitly said her powers are from an alternate source, like Whale Boy's, that makes her extra powerful but I could be wrong. Whale Boy's isn't just from his delusion I thought.
Yea this is the first time they explicitly show preference of a playable character for one of the siblings. Lumine got the Jeht dialogue that was kinda flirty opposed to the fraternal Aether dialogue, so it has happened before in the other direction. Aether is probably one of the few dudes she met that's older than her and still alive.
This is a dead patch before a new x.0 new planet, so there's a certain amount of downturn with how they plan it, but yea, I agree. For me it's that they made EVERY dialogue option choice a meme or zoomer slang. I wouldn't mind if there was always one normal answer, but we don't even get that anymore. I wonder if it's (as usual) a EN localizer doing what those fuckers do best and ruining dialogue, or if every language has those options.
I'm ok with them not being too heavy handed with the whole Melusine discrimination thing. Too much talk like that IRL right now.
I'm not talking about going down that rabbit hole, I mean just flipping the perspective of how a Melusine thinks/sees the world. There are a lot of good opportunities to have entertaining questlines there without even going to a dark place, necessarily. I think out of all of the misc races, they had the most to offer and were just a sideshow in the end. I would have much rather we had the 20 hour world quest with them instead of the Aranara, for instance.
Did you play the entire Fontaine archon quest? She has a minor part in it if you want to see her currently in the game.
Yea she looks pretty great.
That art is amazingYea she looks pretty great.
She's not from Natlan so (hopefully) she shouldn't have those mechanics.
It will probably be a while, leaks said she'll be in 5.7.

Thick Thighs Save Lives
Let's hope she also doesn't get polluted with the HP raise/lower mechanic or Bond of Life to a lesser extent. I'm totally ok without forced gimmicks if her animations are cool and she's useful.

- Leaks came out about the new Saurians for Iansan's tribe and their (and likely her) gimmick is Short range teleportation. So you might have lucked out amongst all the Natlan characters.
I read that. I'm a bit skeptical of it. I think they're called Tatankasaurs and since I've seen Dances with Wolves, I know tatanka means bison. I can't see those animals instantly teleporting, so charging/dashing sounds more likely to me. Especially if you consider the Nightsoul points system.Speaking of mechanics
I can't imagine a more jarring juxtaposition than a tiny girl charging at someone like a bull, but hell, I'm here for it. Beats another vehicle taking over a character kit.

informed me it didn't take my scroll from me. It was kinda cute that Citlali didn't want to gush about the Traveler while they were in the room, and that Paimon wore everyone out with her stories about us. I'm still surprised how much they're leaning into Citlali as the Aether pairing. I am kinda surprised I don't see the Yandere Ayaka memes about it, like when they introduced Nilou.
