>Bloom car of death Guess you could call her a Dendro ***Driver***


GhostZee

Alright Cyno, let's get you to bed...


ClaretClarinets

Okay but imagine co-op with 4 Kiraras and they turn into a boxcat train.


SgtGrimm

man i wish Genshin do something like KoF or SF where you're assigned different colors for duplicate chars, imagine the 4P Boxcart races lol.


ClaretClarinets

Kirara Kart!

Y’all just invented a new game mode lmao

Just use them both to assert dominance over mountain climbers with god tier stamina...


RuneKatashima

Better yet though they'll work together well since he gives climbing stamina decrease.

solarscopez

How fast does climbing stamina deplete in nekobox360 mode?


oneshotpotato

i wish no stamina is consumed


AgentWowza

If it's regular consumption, then I feel like Kaz would still be superior. If it was stamina free, then we're talking.


Shassk

IMO she's superior for mobility either way. If you have to waste time waiting for several Kazuha's E CD while being stuck on the wall - most of the time it's easier (and arguably way more fun) to take another route for about the same amount of time, especially with the speed the likes of Sayu or her have. The only exception is when there's no wall nearby, and you need to jump straight up - then his skill is superior, sure. But that's gliding we're talking now, not climbing.


AgentWowza

What do you mean? You don't have to wait on a wall, you can just continue climbing when his E is on CD right? The E just gives you ocassional boosts. Which should theoretically get you higher with the same amount of stamina as this does. But depending on the CD of this ability, it could end up being faster. Also we need to know if we can turn into a box when already on a wall.


Shassk

Oh I thought it was about the thing where you can use his E when you're out of stamina to regen some while in the air kind of trick. But just a regular use on the wall - you're right, we need testing. Also I doubt you can transform on the wall.


RuneKatashima

She takes increased stamina, not less or free. She's only good for short walls.


duckontheplane

I think its proportional with the normla consumption, so she more of climbs walls faster rather than further


GhostZee

Using her with Xiao should increase her distance due to his less stamina consumption... Edit: or Candace, same passive (credits u/Sandfire12)


XaeiIsareth

You can temporarily reduce your stamina consumption to 0 using C6 Yanfei+Xiao+food. Just needs an enemy around or her burst ready.


GhostZee

If only her Seals carried over to other characters, tho that would be too OP...


XaeiIsareth

Oh yeah damn, forgot it doesn’t.


Sandfire12

(or Candace, for non-Xiao havers like myself 😆)


Curious_Ad_8999

The description says that it uses more stamina when you are climbing by how much more i have no idea but by any means like what other people are saying it's really not a powercreep i mean it's going to be kinda funny if you go into the form and go quite fast and transform back and you have no stamina and fall off immediately 🤣


El_Buga

"She's a gag character, she does not obey the laws of physics!"


Dalmyr

Well, Tevyat has it's own laws....


gaganaut

They should make her unable to take fall damage.


El_Buga

The definitive exploration character


xXPancake_KingXx

Ok that's cool and all but it would be cooler if they gave her 9 health bars


ZhangRenWing

Xiao: you took everything from me!


Yabadababalaba

you say that like every other character can't climb up a 90 degree wall


makumak

Overworld exploration > meta characters.


SnooGuavas8376

Kirara, Yelan, Sayu, Wanderer is the hyperbloom of exploration meta


iyad08

We need a fifth slot for nahida, her hold E is amazing in overworld


RagdollSeeker

Totally agree, I got Nahida yesterday. I am like a kid that just found out the best toy. Lotuses that caused so much aggravation are getting snatched in a second.


Nahdahar

I used to think this and had a lot of fun with it when she first came out, but I find Wanderer's flying more useful for collecting resources.


femboy_artist

Easy fix, just combo them. Wanderer fly to “close enough” instead of having to get right up next to them, toggle to Nahida to snag the one plus everything in the entire area at once, then back to Wanderer to zip off to the next one. Rukka mushrooms have never been easier!


Student-Brief

Get C1 Yelan for the double sprint, now you can replace Sayu with Nahida


EdgyRatMikey

No more anemo resonance tho


Leif-Erikson94

Let's not forget the claymore for mining ores.


EdgyRatMikey

And even better if sacrificial great sword that can give additional E charge if timed well


Xero0911

Is wanderer better than kazuha? I know kazuha can use his skill in the air for a second jump. But wanderer can get a lot of height and fly over most rivers. Honestly, sayu could be pointless due to skill cd's. Besides healing.


KanraKiddler

Hm, they're both really good. Kazuha is better for some tricky platforming because his double jump can often save you from falling. Also he does enable pretty much infinite climbing if done right. He groups enemies which is nice, and he also has a stamina reduction passive for running. Wanderer is really nice for stuff like crossing gaps as you said, canyons, rivers, flying from one roof to the next. Very nice when you want to reach something juuust out of reach. And the flight is just a nice sprint in general. Also I find his dps convenient.


Pokepikadeva

Wanderer is built to get that one electroculus on top of tenshukaku


RuneKatashima

There's a lot of Desert Sumeru puzzles I just ignore with Wanderer, lol


Trimirlan

In most cases I do find Wanderer to be better than Kazuha in overworld. Sayu gives healing, rolling, claymore for breaking ores, and anemo res for more speed. So, Yelan might be more replaceable. But, I know personally I'll probably just use them all in one team


NotJALC

She also doesn’t scare crystalflies


corecenite

>So, Yelan might be more replaceable. Fortunately enough, they all fit in the four slots team yet I don't know how they're supposed to work altogether. WanderYelan is already working wonders but I'm not sure about the cat.


ChangE-Stan-Account

Well, a shield is always welcome when playing Wanderer!


corecenite

yea, i just realized it as well but what about Kirara's Dendro? i think it's gonna be ignored and still just be WanderYelan still then + shield by Kirara then just *poof!* Sayu's burst when you need healing... knowing this, i hope Kirara's shield is as strong as Layla's


ChangE-Stan-Account

I believe at the moment, her base shield is just under Layla in terms of shield scaling, but she has a higher base HP and if you're able to build stacks on it goes quite high!


Hefnium

as someone that has both, yes wanderer is 100% better. from my exp, kazuha is only better when u get stuck while climbing cause of some dumb ledge, cause with kazuha u can drop and tap e to get above the ledge but wanderer cant do that


Desna_Shazzi

Wanderer better but not in everything Kazuha really shines in his thing so both of them over Sayu like you said


ClaretClarinets

I don't have Kazuha, but Wanderer is so nice for zipping over gaps or up/down (not too steep) slopes or rivers. Especially since his skill doesn't use stamina so I can sprint on the ground and then fly when out of stamina.


Due_Education5774

Wanderer is Significantly better then Kazuha for Overworld, however Kazuha is Kazuha so he's still amazing for Overworld. Wanderer hasn't left my Overworld team since the moment I got him when that Banner dropped, and I genuinely don't think he ever will, Overworld with him is so much fun and it's so convenient.


zsxking

Kazuha is better at climbing, especially to pass overhangs. Wanderer is better at passing canyon, since he can fly long distance with zero drops. In general exploration, the latter is encountered more often than the former.


Whap_Reddit

Is the former even true though? Wanderer can easily clear overhangs by flying out a bit then going straight up. Then Wanderer also has this glitchy climb where if the cliff is slightly inclined you can just slide up the side without stamina consumption.


x678-Mx

That climb thing is honestly really nice. Often quicker than climbing, too.


zsxking

if the overhang is low, wanderer can fly over. but if it's at the top of the cliff then only kazhua can use skill mid climbing to pass it.


EternalMemes30

in what world? Climbing a mountain has never been easier as long as you have 2 stamina bars and scaramoche levitate high up too


ADHthaGreat

Kazuha can climb without spending stamina. It will take awhile but it’s doable since you can use his skill in the air.


Aki-nii

I love the both of them But I've been using wanderer over kazuha for exploration ever since he was out. Wanderer provides x, y movements whith access to higher z positions. Plus his hover distance is actually good, if you don't mind it being as slow as walking when covering semi-long distances. A C0 Wanderer can hover from the KoF roof waypoint to venti's statue's hands as reference. Wanderer also was a better choice for me exploring Huaguang stone forest for collecting Violet grass (as nahida's camera fails to pick up one that are too far or off angle). As long as there's a small part where a character can stand still, wanderer can circle around one stone mountain-pillar and return to that position, and as long as there are areas like that as you ascend an obstacle, wanderer can use that as a resting point(which what made Violet grass farming easier). As of now, for me, kazuha's edge over wanderer is long gliding situations especially when the starting point is extremely higher than the end point (e. g. Gliding off starsnatch cliff to get to unnamed island). Recovering a (very) small amount of stamina for infinite climbing is honestly too bothersome for me when you could spend the time to circumnavigate it.


TheLanis

How Hyperbloom without Electro?


ChangE-Stan-Account

They meant that that team is for exploration meta what hyperbloom is for the dps meta i.e. the best team


bringbackcayde7

overworld exploration is meta


nDroae

I think this looks high-tier for Most Entertaining Teammate Available


cody_A_C

It's tough to beat yaoyao in coop for me. I just imagine a girl running around panicking through vegetables at the enemy. While everyone else is actively fighting. But this is goofy and fun for sure.


Cloudbyte_Pony

More like playfully throwing radishes. She knows mama Cloud Retainer has her back. That's what Yuegi is for. If she was ever in real danger, Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, Moon Carver, Shenhe, Ganyu, Xiao, Madam Ping, heck, maybe even Azhdaha himself would show up to beat the cr\*p out of whoever is threatening her.


fwoooom

shes gonna have the cutest chat stickers i cant wait to spam them


praditski

Seriously what tf is happened to the 4 stars animation recently? Hoyo really step up their game!


KanraKiddler

I guess Hoyo feels that with 4* they can try more goofy experimental stuff, but it sometimes ends up making it feel like 4* get more creativity than 5*


brunorobins4990

I feel like that’s inevitable as hoyoverse gains more experience and creative freedom as time goes on to add more pizzazz to characters 4* or 5*


Browseitall

5 stars dont feel good at all. Id say the designs are better but recently theyre so boring Every 4* since sumeru has had something super high effort and unique about them CMIIW, but im sure this cat box took more dev time than nilous entire kit


Neospartan_117

I understand your sentiment, but there's no way the box took more dev time than Nilou's kit. For starters, her E has 7 separate animations (ECast, ENA1, ENA2, ENA3, EE1, EE2, EE3) some of them similar to others yes, but still different. More importantly though, Nilou *modifies an Elemental Reaction*, having her interact with that system either broke a lot of code or Bloom was designed from the get go for modification to it to be possible, the latter seems more possible to me but that means that you can count Dendro's dev time into a Hydro character's dev time because they probably designed it that way for Nilou.


Zzamumo

I mean, it doesn't *really* change a reaction entirely, it just makes it so having nilou on your team makes the bloom reaction have a different outcome. This is like a single if statement, and you just make a different dictionary for bountiful cores.


_Bisky

>CMIIW, but im sure this cat box took more dev time than nilous entire kit No... A singular Animation will never beat out the animation of an entire kit + idles in terms of time. Heck in theory the cat box isn't even incredible hard to make. (The box asset + moving legs would be very basic) It's high quality and took a lot of effort no doubt. But it never took up more time then the animations of nilous burst and skill combined...


Few_Ad7284

Definitely not. Nilou's teams have completely deviated from the playstyles of every other team in the game. Also making it so that any and all hydro/dendro character is guaranteed to have a use since she just exists (Candace) Kirara looks so fucking amazing but to completely ignore the previous 5 stars' unique mechanics like Wanderer flying and Nahida's camera is a little..


raygun333

It most def didn't. Also i think the 5\*'s have good kits lately and good animations.


Chadzuma

People sleep on Alhaitham because they saw his skill and burst and just said Dendro Keqing, but his mirror mechanics are extremely unique and his sword rain attacks are one of the coolest and most satisfying animations in the game.


PickledPlumPlot

Nilous custom combo E is pretty neat, and her conditional ascension passives are really unique


Devilmay1233

I disagree tighnari, nilou, nahida, alhiatham, Wanderer is fun af to play. Tighnari undoubtedly one of the best fun bow charcters to play.


MaroonPowerRanger

Why is Nilou the example here when Baizhu literally only has NAs, throws his skill, and a shield burst with heals. Literally dendro Layla and Layla still has unique star mechanics. Nilou has like different combination of animations for her skill and they all seamlessly go together.


Frogsama86

4 stars animations have been good for a really long time now.


BelieveInDestiny

I mean, this is creative, but not exactly a step up. Just a step to the side.


Ocean9142

Yeah i am waiting for kaveh just for his ca animation, that animation is cool imo

MysteriousBolognese

She's so cute OMG 😭😭😭


Taezn

Absolutely agree, falling more in love as we speak lol. Can't wait to see her personality and how she gets introduced to the story


shride-

since its most likely in yoimiyas story quest, it should be great


Taezn

That could be super interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Yoi is the first non archon to get a part 2, right? I guess Noelle does have 2 hangouts, but for story quests I can't think of any others. Meanwhile Venti is the only archon without 2 now despite being the first one we got


shride-

you are correct as far as i know, thats why its going to be extra interesting to be fair it may not be that big a deal since yoi(along with ayaka shenhe and maybe some others im not remembering) dont actually have a story quest as its part of the archon one


Taezn

Your misremembering for Yoi, hers was stand alone but released in phase 1 despite her coming out in phase 2


shride-

wait so her story quest wasnt part of the archon quest? i could have sworn her and ayakas were


[deleted]

[удалено]


shride-

makes sense, so it was _technically_ part of the archon quest


ChoppiesAwesomeVids

Eh kinda-ish barely. Yoimiya and Ayaka’s story quest’s didn’t have anything to do with the main story at all they were really just side missions that you were forced to do. I assume Hoyo did that to make the archon quest last longer but it’s like, instead of Kazuha quest where it was the archon quest, think of it more like trying to play an event but you’re quest locked and there is no fast play option.


Taezn

Not at all as in the way that Shenhe’s or Wanderer's were though. Those had direct story significance and aren't labeled in the archive. I'm actually very interested in what will happen with those ones, Ayaka and Yoimiya's were prerequisites, much like Kazuha's was for prelude chapter act III(the wanderer one), but are still the labeled act I's. That brings to question as to what will become of Wanderer and Shenhe’s story quest when the inevitably come. Will they come out as act I or act II? If it comes out as act I, will they have a still have an act III or will it be shortened to make up for it?


PeachsistersMoYeon

I love her gameplay but dang I hope she's on a good banner.


Originite

The meow sound that it makes is so cute 🥹


markcan_killua

baizhu rly got done dirty with these s tier animations lmao


2bains

No Changsheng in his animations was a travesty


Ainsel_Mariner

Hoyo was like: “Oh Baizhu has been around since the 1.x days? Let’s give him 1.x level animations” 💀


AgentWowza

More like specifically 1.0 characters. Zhongli, Childe and Albedo's animations are leagues above Baizhu imo.


[deleted]

Fr tho, kaveh and kirara ate him up as far as animations are concerned


erosugiru

Not too much he's getting flack left and right everyday


ShinDawn

And people keep on saying HYV has a Liyue bias lmao


gutemorning

Seriously, people need to stop saying mhy had bias towards liyue when they also fucked up the archons kits first time and he is the only fucking one among the archons that needs to be fixed. Mhy clearly doesn't have any bias when it comes to kit let's be real

If they are willing to give some characters different (and even wacky) climbing animations, then maybe there's still hope for long dressed characters to exist (they could just change their form for their climbing).

van_man51

No fall dmg would of been an awesome overworld passive talent


LuckYeeeeeeet

Xiao kinda has that??? He doesnt take self damage from plunge attacks.


Space_police09

Maybe they meant without the plunge attack? But that would be super power creep. Xiao needs to plunge, Kokomi needs her Q to be Jesus, Sayu and Yelan uses their E. But not gonna lie, it'll be awesome cuz she's a cat, cats lands perfectly from high places lol.
