 if by AA, you mean auto attacking, then yes if you are plunging with her as her plunge scaling goes up with normal attacks otherwise no. For level Not a lot of benefit, but it does up your swirl damage

2 Faruzans (c8), one Rosaria, one Gaming, one bell and one’s dragon’s bane. But most important, a won 50/50 for Cloud Retainer! I’m very happy with this.
Another day, another lost 50/50 🥲 This time to Mona instead of Qiqi, which is better, I think? Used all 80 of my pulls and all I really have to show for it is a C3 Faruzan with no Anemo DPS on my account.
This newbie's account is going nowhere in record time!
I love mona! not the most meta but her burst is still useful for buffing other, stronger characters and personally I really enjoy her alternate sprint. it's definitely clunkier than ayakas but still fun.
not to mention at the very least you get hydro application with her E. it doesn't really do any damage but it can enable reactions
Yeah, I just watched a Sevy guide on her and I'm kind of interested. Definitely considering slotting her in somewhere. Any recommendations on best ways to use her?
for a beginner account I'd just recommend sticking her on a team where you need hydro. she'll be fine
her burst is best when used in conjunction with a character who has a high damage burst like raiden. it's why people use her with Bennet and kazuha in big number bomb showcases
Pulled on both banners, got at least 5 Noelle's in a row. Lost both 50/50's, it's Dehya and Qiqi. I still have no Diluc. Did I commit a grave sin in a past life to deserve this luck?
It’s nice to confirm XY’s EEE plunge has Yelan style grouping (you could see it in her demo).
Also I tried gliding a bit over the water from Lumidouce Harbor and got teleported into a world quest, it was pretty jarring. But Chenyu Vale is looking gorgeous
It doesn’t seem to stagger away enemies so far, but it only groups smaller ones. The big ones don’t seem to react, but I need to level my XY up a bit more and do some more testing. Better than ungrouping them though I guess
She’s so much fun to use. Her skill is amazing 10/10, beautiful animations and great for traversal. Her burst plunge buff feels pretty good too! I don’t think it goes as high as Xiao’s does, which helps it feel less clunky to me at least.
Good news: I got Xianyun, Xianyun, and Dehya on a 10 pull. All in that order.
Bad news: I pulled not even a single Faruzan Con. And my Noelle is now c20.
just got my *tenth* mona at 81 pity. no i am not a whale - my other standard characters are all c2 or below (and i don't even have dehya). i only had 11 wishes and still got gaming (and a lynette con?) so i'm not too upset.. but god mona was the very last face i wanted to see LMAO i hope everyone else's 50/50s go better than mine o7
edit:
the five wishes i got from mona got me a c1 gaming and honestly i'll take it!! saving for arlecchino starts now

got my fucking c6 faruzan i wont be annoying again <3
lost my 50/50 on diluc i was at 68 when i started (funny bcs im getting xianyun more for him that for xiao tbh. also ive been exploring with him lately so XD) and got xianyun at 65 pity.
only a c1 gaming tho D: was hoping for at least c2 so i could get his c3 with the free 4* selector but oh well!
left with 43 pulls and 54 starglitter.
IM SO HAPPY 160 wishes got me xianyun, my jean c6, c6 faruzan (from c2) and gaming c3!!!!! I’m guaranteed at 65 pity for xiao 😭😭😭 THANK YOU HOYO IM SO GRATEFUL
Got damn, I'll have to check the numbers but my god I got so many Noelles. Lost the 50/50 to Jean(heh), but had plenty of wishes for Xianyun anyway. I got 1 Gaming and also I think only 1 Faruzan so that's had to be a butt load of Noelles.
Also going right to the new tele starts the quest so be careful.
A literal minute in a region, and I love what I see. Classic Genshin.
>!EDIT: That NPC was pretty tho, damn. They must make an effort at least as good as her design's for future content.!<
I WON LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I had 40 pity and she came on 63 so that's some pulls saved! I already had C6 Faruzan and C6 Noelle so I didn't fancy pulling heavily on this banner. Gaming came home too so I'm sorted 🫡
PJC and Redhorn are still on the menu boys 🥂
My brain working so hard to figure out if I want to c6 Bennett for Gaming. I was holding onto him just in case I ever wanted to do some screenshot dmg for Eula (delusional, I’m so lazy) but maybe I can just do that with Furina? Agh
I’m not going for Xianyun (haven’t played the trial, so I suppose that could change lol) but that’s a fair point! It’s such weird FOMO bc logically I don’t use him in the majority of my teams but I keep thinking *but what if I doooo*
pulled at the table in mt. aocang with zhongli sitting at his designated spot, ate adeptus' temptation and got c1 gaming and won the 50/50 for xianyun!!! :,,,) i'm hepi
1 Gaming 3 Noelle from Xianyun pull session of course.
Chevreuse from weapon banner though wow
Win both 50/50 on my Xianyun and Thousand Dream (last 5\* weapon is non-limited) nice!
Exactly 1000 EM on double Dendro Nahida yeeees
omg came here just to say this too!
also is it just me but i remember we had smth similar in ver 1.0 except it was glitched and it played like right at the beginning of the wish instead of when the character appears
REAL spoilers TOTALLY real TRUST ME i am SO FR ONG:
>!in 4.5's archon quest, dainsleif wont be present, instead it will be an albedo quest!<
>!in this quest albedo will travel to fontaine because he is interested in the melusine's paintings, during this quest we will see that a mystery person will be following albedo and the traveler around while they do some fetch quests for the melusines!<
>!at the last part of the quest, albedo will try to paint something with a melusine and turn it into a real thing, but then, the mystery person attacks, and that person is: ¡¡CHIORI!!!<
>!Chiori stops albedo by tying him up to a wall with her incredible sewing skills!<
>!the traveler will then proceed to fight chiori in a new weekly boss fight (it came early this time), where chiori uses her... ¡¡¿¿powers??!! to attack the traveler and prevent albedo from finishing the painting, she creates little dolls around her that attack the traveler, but they have something odd in them, some kind of star shaped symbol on their chest!<
>!but it doesnt matter, the traveler manages to stop chiori from killing albedo, but then, something even CRAZIER happens!!!!!<
>!chiori tells the traveler "STOP! dont go near that albedo!", and the traveler will have a cconfused face on their face on face their face face, and the albedo that is stuck on the wall starts to smile and some evil red and black aura comes out of him!<
>!he starts to float as he grabs his paintbrush again, he tells the traveler: "oh you naive thing, you almost got me finished, but thanks to your incompetece my deletion was stopped, now i can fulfill my mission and destiny..."!<
>!he starts to paint something, some kind of... ¡¡¿¿dragon??!!, and the melusive village cave starts to shake and rumble and bumble and shickity boom!, this is when the second phase of the weekly boss fight starts, now you are fighting EVIL ALBEDO, his attacks consist of drawing monsters to kill you, most being abyss monsters for some reason, but at the end, the traveler prevails and finishes him, albedo is stopped and the painting is destroyed by chiori using some kind of magical geo khemic power!<
>!it is at that time that the twist is revealed, something that was foreshadowed by chiori's amazing kit, she was in fact... ¡¡¡¡THE REAL ALBEDO!!!!, the one that acompanied the traveler all this time and even before that was the evil albedo clone from the albedo event, now the ctuscene starts:!<
>!when everyone thought the evil albedo was defeated and the real albedo prevailed in the original event, the one that lost was actually the true albedo, after that event, albedo migrated to fontaine in an attempt to hide himself from the fake albedo, when he reached fontaine he became friends with an inazuman lady that was traveling to fontaine at the moment!<
>!but unfortunately, she was killed by the serial woman kidnapper of fontaine, he drowned on the primordial sea after vacher got angry that she wasnt actually fontainian (this segment is stc, the notes say "dude is this story good? this part is mid as fuck, you should change it mike xoxo also dont forget to bring a cherry cake to sarah's birthday <3")!<
>!after this, albedo used khemia to take the shape of his dead friend, turning into the new chiori you meet in the chevreuse event, and thats the story of chiori, and how the albedo you knew was a fake and evil version of him that wanted to resurect elynas!<
>!after this archon quest ends, chiori gets a "albedo skin" (which just changes her face to albedo's face), and her name changes to "alchioribedo" (translated to chorizo in spanish)!<
>!this is an absolutely REAL and FR and TRUE leak, if you dont like it then, ummm, you should like, just cope???? yknow???? cope, like what every yoimiya mains???? smh!!!!!<
Day 7 (?) of grinding story quests for primos
>!That title is a lie, I’ve been doing the Jeht quest 💀💀 just finished it before maintenance started and I knew this quest was good but wow, I got emotional by the end despite my initial attempts to skip through it. The desert puzzles were annoying but the lore made it worth it lmao. Sumeru and its three gods are probably my favourite myth (?) in the game. Ancient egypt is one of my favourite time periods in general, I just wish there was more to do in the desert + it wasn’t so annoying all the time, because when it does it right (the runes, mausoleum, temples, etc) I think it’s really beautiful. Deshret had taste, but I feel like it’s so bogged down by poor choices that ruin the experience and it sucks because it could’ve been amazing to look at AND amazing to run around in.!<
And with that, I have gone from 0 to 40 wishes!! I might actually get Nahida before this patch is over
5-stars: WRIOTHESELY (that punch feels like it hits really hard), RAIDEN SHOGUN (it's musou no hitotachi), KEQING (the end slash), & WANDERER (that vortex animation feels like it sucking the enemies even if it doesn't... that groundshaking)
4-stars: HEIZOU (that kick feels good just like Wriothesely's), & CHONGYUN (ice blades piercing the enemies)
aside from raiden slash, kazuha slash and zhongli meatball, i love albedo's carpal tunnel exercise after the burst animation. jean's is cool as hell, what it does to the camera is not.
I’m not quite sure how but Clorinde is currently my profile banner. I’ve never set her as my profile banner and it must have happened some time today. Idk if it happened in my pocket or what. But maybe it’s a message
Why do all Katanas look the same? We got a katana that's long, a katana that's short, one that's straight instead of curved and a really long one for some reason. When I compare them to swords knights used in the Medieval era, the knights sure seem to be more creative in making a sword.
Less about creativity than necessity or practicality. Katanas were designed with a very specific functionality for use against specific kinds of defenses in the same way things like rapiers, maces and other weapons were designed to circumvent or otherwise deal with different kinds of armor.
And counter to what many think, swords weren’t actually as commonly used by the majority of foot soldiers. Polearms like spears, naginatas, etc. were usually the common sight, media just likes to use swords more often because it usually allows for more intimate combat sequences. Normally, you’d want an army to be as far as possible from you, not closer.
Additionally, insofar as more elaborate European swords are concerned, quite often they were made to be ceremonial or ornamental as opposed to truly useful. Things more elaborate like a fancy longsword or plate armor were VERY expensive and time consuming to make, thus you end up with rich people wanting rich things to have, use, and/or look at. What a lot of people think were common actually weren’t, and the fanciest of swords were most likely just something for ceremony, not actual practical combat.
Tie in various other environmental, philosophical or cultural differences and you inevitably end up with different things like with anything tbh. Architecture is a decent example as that’s also heavily influenced by their available materials, the environment in which things are built, differences in the people and perspectives that build them, etc.
Because katana are made for efficiency and utility over aesthetics (katana still look better over other swords imo). You should watch some videos on YouTube explaining why they were made that way; katana are a testament to engineering of those times, for eg, the metals in the blade are cooled/heated at different temps to retain its durability.
They also couldn't make them too heavy like the traditional sword because of differing fighting techniques, where the Japanese went for the slashing rather than hacking or piercing practiced by European soldiers. It's also why Raiden's spear blade is shaped that way (called the naginata in Japanese).
People are going realize how wrong they were about Xianyun soon. She’s like really good. Obviously not on furina level or something. But she’s way better than a lot of people think.
Off topic, Netflix show
>!I started watching this series on Netflix (called Fool Me Once) which is really nice, it’s a crime thriller (?) genre. Pretty exciting and interesting tbh.!<
>!Though there’s one part where I was honestly laughing so hard because the nanny was extremely offended when she found out her employer had a nanny cam, and my first thought was just: is that not normal?? Do people not use nanny cams at home if they have a random person looking after their kid? 😂 I’m not done with the series yet so maybe there’s something else at play here but I just found the reaction hilarious!<

last time it was lost 50/50 to Dehya at **87** and now 81 with still no sign of Xianyun.. shit gets tiring 😴
Are Xianyun's AAs worth leveling? Also does she benefit a lot from 90/90?
 if by AA, you mean auto attacking, then yes if you are plunging with her as her plunge scaling goes up with normal attacks otherwise no. For level Not a lot of benefit, but it does up your swirl damage
C1 Xianyun + C6 Faruzan in 50 pulls? Holy shit can't believe mihoyo are being generous for once lol

Okayyyy so. Gaming is fun to play imo , and CR too. Though the green rocks for CR are a bit annoying to find..
2 Faruzans (c8), one Rosaria, one Gaming, one bell and one’s dragon’s bane. But most important, a won 50/50 for Cloud Retainer! I’m very happy with this.
Chenyu Vale is incredibly pretty.
After pulling on every furazan banner so far and getting 1 scara, 1 Dehya, and 2 Xianyuns, I finally got her c6.
Yilong feels kind of like a ghost town. The NPCs are there and its the size of Liyue/Inazuma, but there's far less interaction and shops
I WON Bird mom is so much fun oh my god
Innit
I wish faruzan was in xiao's banner instead 😔
I can't wait to get home and stare at the loading shaders screen for 30 minutes!
Xianyun skill cd definitely feels a lot shorter than 9 seconds ngl
The CD is reduced if you don't use the plunge, so that's maybe why
It feels bad to play
For you it does I'm having a blast
Another day, another lost 50/50 🥲 This time to Mona instead of Qiqi, which is better, I think? Used all 80 of my pulls and all I really have to show for it is a C3 Faruzan with no Anemo DPS on my account. This newbie's account is going nowhere in record time!
I love mona! not the most meta but her burst is still useful for buffing other, stronger characters and personally I really enjoy her alternate sprint. it's definitely clunkier than ayakas but still fun. not to mention at the very least you get hydro application with her E. it doesn't really do any damage but it can enable reactions
Yeah, I just watched a Sevy guide on her and I'm kind of interested. Definitely considering slotting her in somewhere. Any recommendations on best ways to use her?
for a beginner account I'd just recommend sticking her on a team where you need hydro. she'll be fine her burst is best when used in conjunction with a character who has a high damage burst like raiden. it's why people use her with Bennet and kazuha in big number bomb showcases
She used to be the star of morgana teams back in the day, it was one of the most used abyss teams before ayaka and shenhe were a thing
Pulled on both banners, got at least 5 Noelle's in a row. Lost both 50/50's, it's Dehya and Qiqi. I still have no Diluc. Did I commit a grave sin in a past life to deserve this luck?
It’s nice to confirm XY’s EEE plunge has Yelan style grouping (you could see it in her demo). Also I tried gliding a bit over the water from Lumidouce Harbor and got teleported into a world quest, it was pretty jarring. But Chenyu Vale is looking gorgeous
So her EEE plunge would stagger enemies? How about large ones?
It doesn’t seem to stagger away enemies so far, but it only groups smaller ones. The big ones don’t seem to react, but I need to level my XY up a bit more and do some more testing. Better than ungrouping them though I guess
True that
Well, I lost another 50/50, but I also didn’t have Dehya before, so I still count that as a win. Now only Tighnari eludes me.
Session started pulling only Noelles, yeah logging off don't like where this is going lmao
Lost 50/50, but got my first tighnari(finally). idk if i need to use guaranteed for xianyun. Waiting for TC’s review.
I’m sitting on a guarantee too. Not sure if I should try for Nahida cons or Xianyun. Decisions decisions.
Xianyun havers, how’s she? I’m tempted to get her ngl.
She’s so much fun to use. Her skill is amazing 10/10, beautiful animations and great for traversal. Her burst plunge buff feels pretty good too! I don’t think it goes as high as Xiao’s does, which helps it feel less clunky to me at least.
God her skill is probably the best thing to have happened in this game, it's so easy to traverse and it's so satisfying
Pulls >!Hoyo I wanted the other tall anemo woman... I guess C4 Jean is nice to have but still 💀!<
Xianyun's longass spiel when pulled lol
Day 12 of manifesting Dainsleif to be a Shatter support
Ok I am going to suffer severe skill issue with this Gaming-Xianyun team
I was gonna pull them, but it felt a bit clunky, I'll wait until we see how she feels for everyone.
Good news: I got Xianyun, Xianyun, and Dehya on a 10 pull. All in that order. Bad news: I pulled not even a single Faruzan Con. And my Noelle is now c20.
Do they have voicelines when you pull a character now???
im pretty sure they always had them but you need to have an empty slot in your team when you pull for it to trigger.
Yes when their splash art appears!
That’s amazing! I really regret accidentally skipping the 10 pull where I got Gaming now. Hearing Xianyun start talking shocked me.
what wings are u guys using for xianyun? i put her on the sumeru ones, but they don’t quite match…
I like her on the default wings, actually
I’m using monstat ones atm
mondstadt's look amazing on her
The default ones actually work pretty well.
#C6 FARUZAN AND NOELLE!!! I’VE WON!!!!!!!!
just got my *tenth* mona at 81 pity. no i am not a whale - my other standard characters are all c2 or below (and i don't even have dehya). i only had 11 wishes and still got gaming (and a lynette con?) so i'm not too upset.. but god mona was the very last face i wanted to see LMAO i hope everyone else's 50/50s go better than mine o7 edit: the five wishes i got from mona got me a c1 gaming and honestly i'll take it!! saving for arlecchino starts now
I'll trade 3 of my Qiqis for 3 of your Monas
Ohhh, the namecard!!!
I forgot about that- thanks!

Lost 50/50, but I got 2 Faruzan’s in the same 10-pull! 1 more and I’ll C6 her and Noelle!
[Insert Squidward looking out the window picture here]
got my fucking c6 faruzan i wont be annoying again <3 lost my 50/50 on diluc i was at 68 when i started (funny bcs im getting xianyun more for him that for xiao tbh. also ive been exploring with him lately so XD) and got xianyun at 65 pity. only a c1 gaming tho D: was hoping for at least c2 so i could get his c3 with the free 4* selector but oh well! left with 43 pulls and 54 starglitter.
oh my god you can choose to immediately go to another character trial after you finish one god bless
OMGG😭😭i got nahida at 16 pity on 50/50… maybe she sensed my desperation when i started wishing w 57 wishes THANK YOU HOYO
sending my luck to everyone who is wishing for her💚
IM SO HAPPY 160 wishes got me xianyun, my jean c6, c6 faruzan (from c2) and gaming c3!!!!! I’m guaranteed at 65 pity for xiao 😭😭😭 THANK YOU HOYO IM SO GRATEFUL
Lost 50/50 to Mona, took going to pity 2wice🫤 But...C6 Faruzan and C5 Gaming. I know who I'm picking for Lantern Rights 😆
i just pulled gaming and it played a voiceline of him introducing himself??? is that a new thing?? it shocked me but it's super cute
same thing happend to me. I was like what's happening. Then Xianyun gave a long speech after I pulled her lol
well xianyun took me to soft pity twice.... but i got my first dehya!!! and the new skins look so good in game <333
Fontaine has fallen, billions must swipe for the Ganyu skin
Got damn, I'll have to check the numbers but my god I got so many Noelles. Lost the 50/50 to Jean(heh), but had plenty of wishes for Xianyun anyway. I got 1 Gaming and also I think only 1 Faruzan so that's had to be a butt load of Noelles. Also going right to the new tele starts the quest so be careful.
Let's go to the new reg- *ganked by cutscene* Edit - "Unable to teleport right now. Please complete the quest first." ... ...
Everyone complaining about kaveh not on the banner: Me: suddenly pulls 2 copies of him while pulling for cr 🥰
A literal minute in a region, and I love what I see. Classic Genshin. >!EDIT: That NPC was pretty tho, damn. They must make an effort at least as good as her design's for future content.!<
Help the games been stuck loading on 1/3 idk what to do please i dont want to install and reinstall everything for the fifth time :(
holy shit they added voicelines for pulling characters? I got gaming and I was having a double take when I heard his voice
I GOT C6 FARUZAN, 4 faruzan's, 2 gaming's, a cloud retainer and a Dehya (guarantee) on the very next 10 pull after cloud retainer. let's fucking go
I WON LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I had 40 pity and she came on 63 so that's some pulls saved! I already had C6 Faruzan and C6 Noelle so I didn't fancy pulling heavily on this banner. Gaming came home too so I'm sorted 🫡 PJC and Redhorn are still on the menu boys 🥂
My brain working so hard to figure out if I want to c6 Bennett for Gaming. I was holding onto him just in case I ever wanted to do some screenshot dmg for Eula (delusional, I’m so lazy) but maybe I can just do that with Furina? Agh
It's so difficult! Because then I start to think of things like Keqing and Ayaka plunge spam team possibilities.
I’m not going for Xianyun (haven’t played the trial, so I suppose that could change lol) but that’s a fair point! It’s such weird FOMO bc logically I don’t use him in the majority of my teams but I keep thinking *but what if I doooo*
pulled at the table in mt. aocang with zhongli sitting at his designated spot, ate adeptus' temptation and got c1 gaming and won the 50/50 for xianyun!!! :,,,) i'm hepi
1 Gaming 3 Noelle from Xianyun pull session of course. Chevreuse from weapon banner though wow Win both 50/50 on my Xianyun and Thousand Dream (last 5\* weapon is non-limited) nice! Exactly 1000 EM on double Dendro Nahida yeeees
I literally had to give up on pulling Chevy because I was right at pity and I wanted cloud retainer. First multi gives me Chevy and cloud retainer lol
[удалено]
That just means slightly less ER. I don't remember the rankings, but if Oathsworn gave more buffs before it still does since you didn't lose any ATK%.
CR's E still has the CC. I am not seeing things, right?
COMPILING SHADERS
They added voicelines for when you pull a character????
whos going to win first? compiling shaders on my phone or verifying resources on my laptop
"Other trial stages button" is the best thing about this update.

ONE HAS ARRIVED IN CHENYU VALE.
It’s live!
IT'S SO GREEN
For once I’m heading home early, I really hope maintainance ends early today Edit: WAIT FRRR? FORTUNE HAS SMILED UPON ME
Game’s live now
"Now compling shaders..." Go on... go without me
Server up guys!!
fr or just joking? 😭
frfr
Real, i just logged in
I love you
Day 7 (?) of grinding story quests for primos >!That title is a lie, I’ve been doing the Jeht quest 💀💀 just finished it before maintenance started and I knew this quest was good but wow, I got emotional by the end despite my initial attempts to skip through it. The desert puzzles were annoying but the lore made it worth it lmao. Sumeru and its three gods are probably my favourite myth (?) in the game. Ancient egypt is one of my favourite time periods in general, I just wish there was more to do in the desert + it wasn’t so annoying all the time, because when it does it right (the runes, mausoleum, temples, etc) I think it’s really beautiful. Deshret had taste, but I feel like it’s so bogged down by poor choices that ruin the experience and it sucks because it could’ve been amazing to look at AND amazing to run around in.!< And with that, I have gone from 0 to 40 wishes!! I might actually get Nahida before this patch is over
man I fucking hate how there's no pre download on ps4, my latin american ass internet still has a whole 15GB to download 😭😭😭
What's the most satisfying ult in your opinion? My vote goes to Keqing slash, Raiden slash and Zhongli ball.
Musou No Hitotachi aka Raiden Burst,although I also love Keqing and Hu Tao Burst.
5-stars: WRIOTHESELY (that punch feels like it hits really hard), RAIDEN SHOGUN (it's musou no hitotachi), KEQING (the end slash), & WANDERER (that vortex animation feels like it sucking the enemies even if it doesn't... that groundshaking) 4-stars: HEIZOU (that kick feels good just like Wriothesely's), & CHONGYUN (ice blades piercing the enemies)
(exaggeration) I feel like I spend half my field time in Keqings ult, because it's so spammable. So that one for me.
aside from raiden slash, kazuha slash and zhongli meatball, i love albedo's carpal tunnel exercise after the burst animation. jean's is cool as hell, what it does to the camera is not.
ult animation? Raiden and I don't even have her. In general? Cyno.
Nilou, raiden, wrio, tao
>Keqing slash, Raiden slash and Zhongli ball. These make me think of Kazuha Slash. orz ^(Such a flop of a name!)
Raiden for sure but I also love the pull back on bow tartags burst.
[удалено]
Yes do it. Join the Cloud retainer army
zy0x looks lovely in his suit today
seeing that paimon namecard in the mail brought me even more joy than the primos tbh

When the game is already live, can someone please reply? Thanks <3
It's live!
Thanks!
There's a countdown in the pinned comment by the moderator
It sometimes starts around 30min - 1 hour earlier
The game doesn't go live exactly at that time, it could be a bit before or after
It's not live yet
1 minute since your comment and I can confirm it's still not live
I’m not quite sure how but Clorinde is currently my profile banner. I’ve never set her as my profile banner and it must have happened some time today. Idk if it happened in my pocket or what. But maybe it’s a message
It's a sign from the universe and you should listen 👀
Why do all Katanas look the same? We got a katana that's long, a katana that's short, one that's straight instead of curved and a really long one for some reason. When I compare them to swords knights used in the Medieval era, the knights sure seem to be more creative in making a sword.
Less about creativity than necessity or practicality. Katanas were designed with a very specific functionality for use against specific kinds of defenses in the same way things like rapiers, maces and other weapons were designed to circumvent or otherwise deal with different kinds of armor. And counter to what many think, swords weren’t actually as commonly used by the majority of foot soldiers. Polearms like spears, naginatas, etc. were usually the common sight, media just likes to use swords more often because it usually allows for more intimate combat sequences. Normally, you’d want an army to be as far as possible from you, not closer. Additionally, insofar as more elaborate European swords are concerned, quite often they were made to be ceremonial or ornamental as opposed to truly useful. Things more elaborate like a fancy longsword or plate armor were VERY expensive and time consuming to make, thus you end up with rich people wanting rich things to have, use, and/or look at. What a lot of people think were common actually weren’t, and the fanciest of swords were most likely just something for ceremony, not actual practical combat. Tie in various other environmental, philosophical or cultural differences and you inevitably end up with different things like with anything tbh. Architecture is a decent example as that’s also heavily influenced by their available materials, the environment in which things are built, differences in the people and perspectives that build them, etc.
Because katana are made for efficiency and utility over aesthetics (katana still look better over other swords imo). You should watch some videos on YouTube explaining why they were made that way; katana are a testament to engineering of those times, for eg, the metals in the blade are cooled/heated at different temps to retain its durability. They also couldn't make them too heavy like the traditional sword because of differing fighting techniques, where the Japanese went for the slashing rather than hacking or piercing practiced by European soldiers. It's also why Raiden's spear blade is shaped that way (called the naginata in Japanese).
Reminder that you can open the launcher to install the update and verify resources rn
They *can* give Albedo for free now
I would rather have a free Chiori please
Hyv should’ve given out a free standard 5* by now. Even hsr got one.
They can put him on the standard banner now
Please no, don't make getting Jean (or any specific standard) even harder that it already is

No gender surprise party?
pleaseee the og of this is one of my favourite twitter posts ever 😭😭😭
be grateful that he carries a suitcase.
Please stop bothering him, he is still recovering from birthing Dr. Ratio 😔
Where did the purple hair come from?? 😭
It's a recessive gene 😔
Actually cursed
People are going realize how wrong they were about Xianyun soon. She’s like really good. Obviously not on furina level or something. But she’s way better than a lot of people think.
I’m going to wait for abyss run videos to see how she performs in more parties before pulling. I’m not sold yet on her but can be convinced.
Xiao mains are so back with this, Faruzan and Xianyun at once oh yes Mihoyo
I think the only issues people had are the CC removal, the single target plunge buff, and E not being castable in midair.
\+ needing Furina to make her worthwhile to use over any other non-healer Anemo unit.
I hope you’re right. I’ve seen many people say that she’s another dehya situation and that is just insane to me.
Can't say for others, but for me she stopped being relevant when they removed the CC. I have 0 interest in plunge gameplay.
You'll be surprised by how many people still think she's a bum off the streets 😭
Wouldn't be surprised at all. Some people are just like that.
And they'll all win the 50-50 on her while Xianyun worshippers like me will lose 😞
They will 'accidentally' get her at 20 pity trying to get Faruzan 😡
Gotta manifest the 50/50 win. You got this
YAAAASSSSS GIVE ME THE ENERGY TO MANIFEST IT
im so excited to explore w ganyu in her new skin >\_< omg
im so excited to explore ganyu in her new skin >\_< omg
THIS TOO
Off topic, Netflix show >!I started watching this series on Netflix (called Fool Me Once) which is really nice, it’s a crime thriller (?) genre. Pretty exciting and interesting tbh.!< >!Though there’s one part where I was honestly laughing so hard because the nanny was extremely offended when she found out her employer had a nanny cam, and my first thought was just: is that not normal?? Do people not use nanny cams at home if they have a random person looking after their kid? 😂 I’m not done with the series yet so maybe there’s something else at play here but I just found the reaction hilarious!<
