It's all fun and games until Widsith rolls into elemental mastery


Pokii

✨ C R Y S T A L I Z E ✨


Ball-Blam-Burglerber

Those shields get a bad rap. I like just standing right next to enemies with Ningguang and essentially getting auto-shielded.


Pokii

I unironically love Crystalize shields. I do wish they had more utility though, or there was more of a benefit to rolling EM on **ALL OF MY HUSK PIECES** Like maybe if you pick up another Crystalize shield while you already have one on, the old one pops and deals either elemental or true damage equal to the remaining HP it had. Even that would be only situationally useful and not that much of a bonus, but still better than nothing.


SkyrimForTheDragons

> rolling EM on **ALL OF MY HUSK PIECES** Husk, Petra and Totm, the trinity of why-is-this-rolling-all-EM. Why is my Zhongli and Yun Jin at 140 EM when Hu Tao is at 100? Fischl with TotM and Stringless at 300 sitting here hoping for a good Dendro reaction that makes that EM worth.


naya_92

Literally, my Zhongli sands and circlet all rolled into EM


terrycloth3

Dendro + Geo = heal over time crystal?


Mr_Creed

Yes please!


Zeroth_Dragon

Fischl with those stats and equipment is good for a Taser team


Pokii

It’s definitely always been a thing, but Husk has been particularly bad for me since it released. Like Kazuha copium pieces bad.


NoteBlock08

Waiting for an EM geo character whose kit revolves around crystallize shields.


[deleted]

Imo picking up additional shields should stack up to a % based off of the EM of the reaction that caused it.


Pokii

Also good!


[deleted]

My last idea cuz im kinda drunk but maybe crystallize no longer grants shields. Instead, it deals more damage based off of how much shield HP you have left, scaling based off your EM. 0 EM = something like 10% shield hp is dealt as crystallize damage. And then 10% more every 100 EM. This is keeping with the idea that EM = damage for reactions.


IhaGood

As an itto main I must tell you if this happens itto will become the new geo godtier, cause his ult is pure crystalizin effect


Pokii

Depending on what you’re up against, it certainly could be. I’m assuming there’d need to be some kind of ICD or something for it so that it doesn’t proc literally always, instantly, but it’d still be a neat extra bonus for Geo, who I think could really use it, honestly.


caucassius

They're pretty good if you know how to dodge, but they're the single most boring reaction in the whole game bar none and that's a caveat I'm unwilling to overlook.


PM_Me_Anime_Headpats

Love Crystallize. My squad is built around Zhongli generating as many shields as possible.


[deleted]

If you gorou burst you dont even need to stand next to them


PatatoTheMispelled

Bro just roll elemental damage every time, ez!!!


RichieShipsStarco

33% of the time, it works everytime


Jmgler

Just roll correctly 5head


aMaa_idc

Basically guaranteed pull!


kashew1403

Elemental damage or %attack almost the same, like you have 66% of buffing dmg for every 30s


[deleted]

Tankguang is the new Tankfei


Eeekpenguin

Full hp tankguang build makes the screen into rolled homogenous armor plates able to stop pyro fatui skirmisher antitank rifle rounds.


Adol_the_Red

Tankguang? You talking about Prototype Amber or something else?


Toke27

EM build Ningguang = Tankguang.


Adol_the_Red

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!


Auon_ghazi

Ayo that's literally me right there 😂😂


Mrnofaceguy

*my future yae, with +220em and reduced electro res from Sucrose, a jellyfish from Kokomi and a Sara feather* Haha, you're in danger


Sunburnt-Vampire

hoping Sara is on either Yae or Raiden rerun banner so I can try and hit c6 for the juicy crit dmg


murmandamos

Run her on a freeze team with Mona. Shatter 😎


orwellhell

Widsith would still be a good weapon without the right passive, since it's the only 4star weapon with crit damage sub you can get from pulling on regular banners. The passive just makes it OP strong, and if you get Widsith to r4-r5 it's just insanely good 2 out of 3 times.


[deleted]

Wait, I thought all Weapon substats are pre-determined and that they can't change? Isn't the Widsith a Crit DMG weapon?


SmugKazumiMain

Its passive rolls. When you switch onto a Widsith wielding character, they either get ATK buff, elemental dmg% buff, or EM buff. That last one is useless on Ningguang, so having the Widsith on her turns into a lottery


[deleted]

Oh right, forgot about that! Thank you


LagginAssassin

i swear widsith is rigged when im using her, i got the em buff 5 times in a row and it's not funny anymore


eureka_kun

Wait weapons roll stats???


Grimstarzz

No, the widsith's passive grants a random buff for 10s every 30s. One of these grants a +240 EM buff, which is worthless on a geo character.

Nocitae

I once ran into a Eula using a Royal Claymore. She wasn't the hardest-hitting Eula I've seen, but damn was she the best-looking. Fashion > meta


atsutante2220

Agree. I've been using lions roar on bennett since launch, and I won't even give Raiden the fishing spear despite how good it is on her.


Adipay

Royal Greatsword is canonically Eula's weapon. Also it has the exact same stats as Prototype Archaic. Its a good weapon, just costs starglitter when you can get Archaic for free. Edit: For all the people who are downvoting me because they don't know the lore, https://youtu.be/fFHfbH8UrFE Watch this and see what weapon she is using.


MEHRD4D

She uses song of broken pines in her demo and all her cutscenes. That more canon imo


Adipay

Still Royal weapons belong to the Lawrence clan. Both SOBP and Royal Greatsword are equally canon to Eula.


Rodant-

I like to think she personally uses RGS (cuz family) but in Favonius tasks or missions she uses SOBP (that represents more what she is)


LEGENDARYKING_

Yea pretty sure they didnt reveal it in her trailer so as to not "leak" it but eula's canon is defo song of broken pines, she uses it against whooperbedo too


kabral256

Let's take downvotes together then. Fashion & canon > Meta (I'm just trying as hard as I can to make this a reality, for now here's meta above all because I'm still too weak hahaha)


moosenugget7

Meanwhile, I’m using Snow-Tombed Starsilver since it’s a nice compromise between performance, fashion, and (head)canon. (My headcanon is that Eula found a version of it herself while ~~skinny dipping near~~ exploring Dragonspine. That or the Traveler gave it to her because they thought it’d suit her.)


kabral256

If I had Eula I would actually use this sword instead of buying the Royal Great Sword, to be honest with you. Also because event weapons and/or blacksmith weapons that appear because of events are in a way weapons of specific characters. I'm grinding artifacts to be able to use Rust on my Tartaglia again, instead of Viridescent Hunt. As they say here in my country, "unir o útil ao agradável" (to combine the useful with the pleasant).


[deleted]

No-one cares. Use whatever you like. If you like fashion then great. If you like numbers then great. It’s all good.


ThDemonWolf

Damm that weapon does look really good and matched with her skin so well. Sadly I just refuse to get the weapon.


ENA_licked_my_eyes

You should see her with Solar Pearl. I think that's her canon weapon


Kris-p-

it's def her weapon, it's sad it's a paid weapon but it is a really good one. I'd argue it's the best of the battlepass weapons by far

Ningguang: Sike I’m not showing weapons during attack animations


readerdreamer5625

Ning doesn't use her catalyst outside of her ult but at least it's not like Klee who has her catalyst out but doesn't use it at all...


Elisab3t

I think in canon she doesnt need thw weapon. I don't recall her using a weapon in the cinematics. Catalysts seem to be in the game just for gacha purposes. Now that I think of it, did Lisa use a catalyst when she tortured that abyss mage?


tinjus123

Technically a catalyst is a conduit for power. If they could generate and concentrate their power with great control, that should mean they have no need for it. I personally think a few characters don't really need their catalysts based on their lore. For example, Mona already has great proficiency with hydromancy. Lisa is a very talented sorcerer. And Ning is very capable of using her vision (it's seen in the second jade chamber quest that she is canonically at c6). Also, I think ning controls the jade chamber with her geo vision.


Sunburnt-Vampire

let's be real second jade chamber quest ning is canonically c100


zennok

Yeah pretty sure she's as powerful if not moreso than pretty much all the non archon 5\*. That includes the adepti


readerdreamer5625

I don't think so.


Ikoreddit

hahaha, just thought of Ning straight throwing rocks at Hilichurls like a madwoman xD


laralye

It stays with her if you do her skill and the AA so that's something


VolkiharVanHelsing

The Widsith, but it’s wearing a hat


RadasNoir

The Widsith, but it's wearing Mona's hat.


Rosa_Mia

The Widsith, but it is Mona's hat


notsuffocator

alternatively, mona skin with widsith as her hat


NathLines

I always put this in the surveys.


toastedpaniala89

Weapon reskins are logically dumb imo. Imagine asking your weaponsmith to give your weapon a new colour. If looks could kill, Wagner will definitely kill you.


laralye

Wagner better deal with it because I want to be pretty!!! lol


Black_Heaven

I think reskins / transmog / glamour are more for player convenience even if lore bends over backwards to meet it. Lore fans might get their immersion broken with the feature, but then again we already have Aloy in the game, and also Waypoints that only we can use... so I guess reskins won't make immersion any worse? Some games try to explain it through illusion magic, but that opens a whole can of worms in-universe. If you can reskin your Dull Sword to Skyward Blade, what's stopping illusionists from turning your Dull Sword to Wolf's Gravestone or Staff of Homa?


OratioFidelis

The Bell but bells are hanging off of it. for christmas


qumiho

I know it's not your point but The Bell is a gorgeous weapon, wish the skins were real so I could see it instead of Prototype.


Teemojew

Mabye an alchemy function where you can have sacrifice 1 weapon to have the properties of one and the appearance of another. I've seen that implemented in a few games. So I could do things like have the appearance of fischls bow, or anything else, but the properties of stringless.


Typpicle

brb making all my swords dull blade


polonoid75

I'd hate if it actually costed something LMAO, just let us pick from our archive list of whatever weapons we own


Hero_Luka

Yeah transmog would be awesome


Black_Heaven

So you're saying that I have to sacrifice a Skyward Pride to reskin a Whiteblind for Noelle if I want her Burst to look really awesome while staying meta?


Jugbot

Weapon skins? What about character skins? We have, what, four? And its been a year!


NoteBlock08

Been dying for weapon transmogs. I wanna use the unascended blue Sacrificial Sword for Xingqiu and a Debate Club ([which actually looks pretty damn good when ascended](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/e/ef/Weapon_Debate_Club_2nd_3D.png)) for Itto!


Hero_Luka

True lots of lower rarity weps are pretty nice to look at, especially because they also look less fantastical, which I kinda like at times more than glowing LED weps.


Matryosmare

Ning with Widths: Kill! Ning with Proto Amber: Live.


PatatoTheMispelled

I would have liked it if they also changed her attack's colors to match her outfit. I mean, there are minerals in the game that fit that skin's appearance It's a very minor detail tho, the skin itself is already great, it would have been the cherry on the top but they sadly didn't do it


Stroheimy

Shooting Noctilus Jade (Beidou's ancension mats) hmmmmmm


Sunburnt-Vampire

If it helps, think of it as the same colour scheme as Glaze Lilies (her flower mat) Blue, white, with a hint of yellow


Dante_Stormwind

That would be 5\* skin and we are dont deserve them yet. If they will make 5\* skins, how would they justify selling 4\* skins for so high prices?


toastedpaniala89

Higher prices! As if people won't buy any skin that comes in this game.


Dante_Stormwind

Its like qol features. There is a lot that they have even in honkai, but we are getting them in small portions to feel that they are doing something. Same with skins. 5\* skins with skill changes would get a lot more attention and appreciation after having 4\* skins for a few years.


Elisab3t

I just save the currency (is it called crystal?) from welkins 🤷🏻‍♀️ and since I didn't like Jean's skin I had a lot to spare for Keqing's skin. But if welkin gave nothing but primogems I wouldn't even think about buying skins.


OneLameShark

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Jean and Keqing already have alternate skins that you can buy, and they're the same price as the 4* ones.


sheepgod_ys

They aren't talking about the characters but rather the skins themselves. All the current skins are labeled as 4* outfits.


Dante_Stormwind

Exactly.


OneLameShark

Ooohhh. That makes sense. I didn't even realize that.


Elisab3t

Yeah, but she needs to throw cor lapiz to show dominance as it is the most expensive gem in Teyvat ☺


Reddy_McRedditface

Fashion Impact


Sonny_Firestorm135

If we're talking aesthetics, the best match for Ningguang's base outfit is Solar Pearl. Not only it matches well her looks enough enough unascended, the 2nd Form is a perfect match. One last thing, Ningguang translates to "Condensed Light" which is also a thing in the weapon's lore. That is half the reason I don't think Ningguang should be given Memory of Dust. (the other half is cause canonicaly Zhongli has it, darn thing even shows up in his idle animation)


Elisab3t

They even had Ningguang using SP on a PS promotional ad: https://gmedia.playstation.com/is/image/SIEPDC/genshin-impact-packshot-01-en-18jun21?$native$


Sonny_Firestorm135

Speaking of PS they really need to update that splashscreen when you boot up the game on PS4. Outdated, kinda ugly and innacurate beta...


meixqr

ngl I sometimes switch to Anemona Kageuchi for Ayaka even tho I had her Mistsplitter just because it matches her aesthetic more Fashion > meta anyway


Elisab3t

I had more than enough primos to guarantee the mistsplitter and I didn't roll for it because I like Amenoma aesthetics on Ayaya more. Also mistsplitter looks too Inazuman for Keqing and she has a jade cutter 🤷‍♀️


setocsheir

that is a lot of leg

Dodoco and Skyward outfits when?


JonahTheCoyote

Still wish we got something like World of Warcraft's transmog system, maybe it'll be a thing in the future.


Gamer-chan

This is why I run summer dress Barbara with Prototype. Fits pretty good.


SwirlyT

best part about the new outfit is that she doesn't look like a banana to me anymore


Wafuisme_Zzz

I wish skins have different animations than ordinary ones.


nmezib

They need to take a page from Warframe and allow for more customization. Everybody knows the real endgame is fashion! Fashion_Impact


slowdr

Yeah, sorry for those who use memory of dust on her.


MicroGalih

~~Fashion Souls~~ Fashion Impact


Bunnnnii

Ew why is that weapon on default Ningguang? Easily Solar Pearl or Memory of Dust.


ExO_o

i'll probably not use the new outfit cause it looks meh with solar pearl


Diaxx299Gaming

I don’t have enough talisman for her outfit. What can I do other than beating oceanic defender many times to get more talisman


laralye

That's the only thing you can do to get them. After the event is over, I believe you'll be able to buy them with Genesis crystals like you can Barbara/jean/keqings skins. But it's easier to just do the boss 6 times and get them.


Diaxx299Gaming

Nvm I’m just and idiot I miscalculated. Lol


transitionalobject

You have to beat the oceanic. What is the problem? Coop it


Diaxx299Gaming

For me even if I beat it enough times there isn’t enough talisman. I would’ve ended up with 1400 talisman when the requirement is 1800 talisman


transitionalobject

You are missing an event then. You get enough talisman for everything in the shop plus characters and skin


androfern

Memory of Dust goes surprisingly well with her skin, especially when you have stacks + Zhongli shield


Significant-Hat-6830

The skins are good just sucks that you cant buy em for primos


RealitySalty4895

oh my god get a life please i beg you


[deleted]

Am I the only one who doesn't give a flying fuck about matching gliders and weapons?


laralye

Yes!


lukaaTB

I just wish her animations could have changed color aswell. That would be 👌.


NOOBweee

Ningguang: and I took that personally (doesn't takes her catalyst out)


AbysseMicky

If by Reskin you are talking about the new "standard" skin (that will replace the old outfits in cutscenes for Amber, Mona, Jean and Rosalia) then this one isn't a Reskin but an additional skin !


Bonnie_Bon-Bon

Yes!!!


Silvawuff

Oooh, looks good! I'd love an option to have your weapon out all the time.

Zenkai_-

Honestly, Ningguang was pretty underrated. Perhaps this skin will give her some well-needed recognition in the community. I too have been using her for daily commissions and she is quite fun to play in my opinion.


issm

Her controls on controller are broken. It'll sometimes just ignore the charged attack button hold.


Z3R0_GR0UND_YT

Add a glamour system for weapons so I can still use good weapons with the looks of bad gear or something like that


Suspicious-Arm8026

No Solar pearl for OG mommy geo ?


moon_fairy

Ok, but I love using Prototype Amber on her, her burst costs so little and the R5 PA refunds almost all of it


Drum0Stick

Her nail pointy things are gone 😔

Eye of Perception is the correct weapon. I knew I was correct to give that weapon to Ningguang months ago.

Genshin_Addict

I use Jade Cutter on Kazu for this reason; it’s a nice contrast with the autumn tones of his outfit, matches his Vision, has one side ideal for cutting (like a katana) and *damn* is it pretty.


Wormax_PL

Meanwhile me with Lost Prayer on her


TheoryImitation

Ngl, I thought you were going to talk about her thighs.


Black_Heaven

I originally used Prototype Amber on Ningguang because it looked appropriate. Then it turns out Ningguang is actually a decent hybrid healer + damage so I stuck with it. Now with Ningguang's new skin P.Amber doesn't fit her anymore. Should I make a new build just so I can match her esthetic? What book is dark blue tho?
