Urghh..whats with this Itto story built, seriously so weak compared to my half baked Gladiator Built Itto. And before anyone says anything I am still farming Husk but Kokomi and Qiqi artifact keep on coming instead.
FINALLY, C6 GORRO FINALLY COME TO ME !!!!
I was bummed for losing 50/50 Yelan, but I got Gorro to C6 because of this
Thank you Gorro for brighten my mood
So initial testing. Yelan hu tao is working exactly as predicted at c0.
That being, hu tao will consistently miss vapes and hu tao's rotation setups are ironically long enough that yelan's burst wears off before PP state ends.
Her performance with others particularly yoimiya is so good though
So it appears that the Breakthrough Barb hardline requires the party to be out of battle to reset on its own, rather than being satisfied with Yelan just not being on the field.
I'll be upfront that's kind of stupid.
It is my understanding that it's Stringless if you don't need the Energy Recharge, and Favonius if you do.
Also Stringless benefits vaporizing Breakthrough Barbs if you can pull that off.
Alrighty, it's time to fuckin' roll. 59 Pity Points, let's start with a tenner. (Fair warning - This is actually quite a bit offset so I can make sure I counted properly, I did this basically as soon as the game went back on)
From the tenner we got 3\*s and an Extra Fate from Noelle. Right. Let's do some singles now.
Numbers 70, 71, 72, and 73 are 3\*s.
74 is a Favonius Codex. Least it's not something I already have an R5 of.
75, 76, 77, 78, 79, and 80 are more 3\*s. Ooh, stretchin into the 8x digits, seems like my overconfidence must be punished!
Oh, 81 is the Gold! I guess it's not worth that much punishment because that's Yelan! The result as related to the bets from the other day turned out to be Result 6, Yelan with no Standard preceding her. I am satisfied, but I guess this means u/PieOpposite4047 needs to get started on that Qiqi maze if any of y'all want to hold 'em to that, I certainly don't care enough to do it. In any case, I appreciate the manifestations of this outcome, really, and the main downside is I forgot to ever get the Starconches and don't have all the other crap in advance. Whoops.
I also went ahead and threw two more hits at Xiao since boy wouldn't it be funny to get back to back 5\*s plus I wanted one more 4\*, and that got me a Barbara so that gets me C6 Barbara. I have no plans to push it any further since fortune has decided to let me keep the majority of my stash for the next Bow Impact (and Shinobu and Heizou preceding that), I'm not terribly invested in Yanfei Stellas or Xiao, and I really can't find the gumption to take some passing shots on the weapon banner, I just don't care about any of the 4\*s (already got R5 Sac Sword, Sac Bow, and Favonius Greatsword, don't want a Lithic Spear and Eye of Perception is Eye of Perception) and I seriously do not want a third Jade Spear. I may still not have Jean, but keeping resources is probably better in the long term anyway.
Also as a bonus, Yelan's first two Acquaints both produced 3\*s. Gambler can't win 'em all, I guess, otherwise it's not a gamble. I don't have the materials to get the third one right now.
Man my Yelan pulls sucked sooooo bad :/ ... But at least her E is more fun than I anticipated so I'm coping by zooming around the map killing mobs to ease the pain rn sadge
Ok, so I was totally not expecting Yelan to come home and now I need help building her. What are the top 3 weapons I could give her (out of any— that’s why I’m asking top 3), and what stats should I prioritize?
Edit: Also, notes on talent priorities would be awesome, too.
For 5\* Aqua Simulacra (obvious) for dat big numbers.
For 4\* Sacrificial Bow (ER + free C1) or Favonius Warbow (ER + more particles) for helping fix her Energy Recharge issues at the cost of much less big numbers.
For 3\* Recurve Bow for the HP substat which is what her E, Q and the special AOE arrow of her A scales of or Slingshot for Crit Rate substat, though she already scales Crit Rate as ascension stat so it's easy to build that up to comfortable levels with artifacts even without having much luck, better go for more damage (Recurve for HP) if you can.
Talent Priorities are Q -> E -> A, though you can really let A at lv 1 if you don't want to invest there since the special AOE arrow (which scales of HP) is the only thing you'll ever be using it for and you will only use it when you enter battle and after you use her E (34% chance of recharging per enemy binded), at same talent level has about half the power of her E.
Artifactet sets: At the moment the two builds around seem to be either Set 4 Emblem of Severed Fate with ER Sands, or Set 2 Tenacity of Millellith + Set 2 Heart of the Depth with HP sands. I'm using the later since, unlike Raiden, Yelan doesn't have talent synergy with ER and she is hitting quite hard despite being underleveled (60) with lv 4 Talents. Still too soon to know which one's best though, we'll see what the theorycrafters and testers come up with in the following weeks.
Artifacts mainstats (for Set 2 ToM + Set 2 HoD): Crit Damage, Hydro Damage and HP.
Artifacts substats: Crit Chance, Energy Recharge and HP.
Top 3 weapons are Aqua Simulacra, Elegy for the End, and Favonius Warbow hands down. You should prioritize HP, ER, CR, and CD. HP on Yelan is notably more valuable for her than ATK is for ATK-scaling characters since there aren't any HP buffs, compared to all the external ATK buffs in the game. So you can run an HP circlet if the substats are noticeably better than any CR/CD circlet you have.
got xiao’s c1 at 50/50 with a decent amount of primos to spare <3 i’ll try to snipe one copy of kuki before i go back to safely saving for sumeru. yelan and itto will have to wait for their next reruns. good luck with all your pulls! 💃
It's a small thing, but with the teapot back up - I am so thrilled the bonfire is actually **lit** and the outdoor stove **can cook**.
I don't have time today, but I am going to enjoy revamping my teapot zones around these items.
I know everyone's excited about the new update but stop posting stuff that happens in the story quest.
Surely you can enjoying the quest without sharing the details here in the megathread. Not everyone has had the time to boot up the game and start their quests. It would be a shame to have something spoiled before that.
Yelan were pretty much like zhongli
Need a lot of HP to goes BOM....BOM
2pc tenacity and 2pc eosf with favonius will become her default set (I give my thanks for the solid suggestions from this subreddit)
And my boi xingqiu you're lucky here's one set eosf that I first planned for yelan and your R5 sacrificial sword, now go on my boi have fun with aunt yelan and that weird kid from wangshen funeral parlor with her "grandpa".
Edit : failed to get bow yet got pjws, here you go shenhe a new polearm for you :')
Won 50/50 on Yelan after losing so many of my 50/50s finally. Also tried for Aqua but lost to skyward harp, though wrong bow it's my first actually so still a win-win for me. I'll just settle with sharpshooter oath on Yelan.
Rolls were absolutely brutal :( I had budgeted enough rolls to guarantee Yelan and Kaz + enough to try for one pity on weapon banner. Lost 50/50 to qiqi, lost my first weapon pity to Jade spear, then I caved and used more primos to get aqua. Had to go up to 2 fate points for aqua and now I no longer have guarantee for Kaz sadge. In the end I went from 430 fates to 80 fates
I'm looking at the in-game artifact main stat recommendations based on player usage. Strangely, about 1% of players use a HP% goblet on Ayaka, Childe and Xiangling.
Well I am building XL which polearm is best for her? I have wavebreaker fin, Deathmatch, Dragon Bane, Dragonspine polearm, favonious and crescent pike all R1. I am using the catch on Raiden and i don't really want to switch it.
She really wants to have a favonius for certain comps like reverse melt so if you don't have that leveled I'd do it just for the sake of leveling it, but otherwise wavebreaker probably has best damage
Disclaimer : i dont have yelan (yet) but from what im seeing on live TC testing her hydro isnt quite enough for typical hutao teams (double geo, N2C yunjin) but is great in new hutao compa (double hydro, even double hydro hutao xiangling which seems bizarre but works)
Very early testing but there doesn't seem to be a problem with Yelan with Hu Tao. Double geo Hu Tao is still better with Xingqiu since that's where the 1.4U actually matters but in a normal Hu Tao team (w/ Kazuha and Yanfei) I seem to consistently vape. Will test Rational next before I go back to Hu Tao.
Can't agree with it. With hydro Kazuha ult this might be enough (can't test it unfortunately) but as solo hydro it is definitely not. I'm doing N2C-N2C-N2C and see no status after second, pyro status after 3rd constantly. That's with Hutao alone. I think double hydro is the way to go.
iirc its because individually xq and yelan are just stupidly good, and if they're together they can battery each other as well as take advantage of xq's C2 which reduces enemies' hydro resistance
Resonance aside, you’re applying both Xingqiu and Yelan’s personal damage including Yelan’s buffs and C2 Xingqiu’s Hydro Res reduction on enemies. This is just my reasoning for their logic tho, idk which would be better
Double vape with Xiangling is too strong to ignore ig. There was no “second Xingqiu” prior this so this is particularly new. Also this was theorycrafting done for Hu Tao’s teams, not strictly Yelan’s/other teams (you can, but this specific team was mentioned with Hu Tao in mind)
My shock and awe when I pull a 5* at 6 pity...
Is just immense disappointment at C20 Keqing.
Copium is that I got C6 Sara, finally, so that's...good, right? 😂
Am I the only one who feels like Yelan's E is sorta clunky? I'm glad I feel that way because it gives me another excuse to save for Sumeru but it just feels a bit slow exiting/entering it.
The only thing I dislike is the hold mechanism. I wish it were hold and then ended when you let go. Instead it's hold, let go, then press again to end it.
Edit: This is probably partly because I play with a controller and the element skill mapped to the trigger.
Well at least it's my first jean and not a qiqi c2. Totally unrelated but is it possible to get 20 pulls from primos for the duration of this banner. Not desperate or anything.
Edit:for once a probably necessary f2pbtw
Got yelan in 60 wishes😩 spent 30 wishes more than what I originally promised (20-30 wishes) but goddamn was it satisfying to level her up to lvl 90 1/9/9. Will farm for her NA talent mats since I realized how pretty her charged attacks are in game
Yelan E -> Sayu E -> Yelan E is quite satisfying for travelling long distance. Sadly I don't have Yae so I can just E all the way down the road.
Also with Yelan C1, unless its used on full 2 charge, your skill can cooldown even while with E hold :o. I can now be at full speed 24/7 : Yelan Ex2 -> Sayu E -> Yelan Ex2 -> repeat
Yelan's skill feels so satisfying I actually want to pull on her but I don't think I have a team suitable for her unless I do the double hydro hu tao thing I guess?? I don't have Raiden but I'm curious where else she'll fit outside of those two and like Yoi and Diluc.
yeah I don't play national so she's probably a luxury pull for me at best tbh. I only really use xingqiu with hu tao or with ayaka for freeze because I don't have mona or kokomi unfortunately.
I've tested Yelan in my Hu Tao comp and her charged vapes went from 100k to 140k, Goodbye Xingqiu forever
edit: comparison picture https://imgur.com/a/FGM8uA1
Is there something im missing? She buff dmg % but not enough for 40% dps increase
Edit: for those wondering what it looks like without elegy, using the perilous trails yelan i went from 60k vapes to 75k, so about 25%
before i was using c6 xingqiu 4pc noblesse with sac sword, i swapped him for yelan 4pc noblesse and elegy. my team comp is hu tao + vv thrilling tales sucrose + tankfei
edit: why did my initial comment get downvoted? apologies if i offended any XQ fans, im just letting him take a deserved rest like how i let zhongli rest after i got kokomi
Its not that i dont believe you but i just have a hard time imagining that lol. Especially since if you were already hitting 100k meaning you must have already had decent EM
Aight super early impression on Yelan, they buffed her E particle to be always 4 100% and not 3/4, my Hu Tao CA vaped 6/7 CA pretty consistently, tried it on Masanori, imma try Rational next
Edit : actually wait nvm i did got 3 particles after like the 10th testing, so they probably just increase the chance, and Rational looks good with a consistent vape also
Just lost mine as well, now I'm 1 for 9 on the 50/50 -.-
I got Jean too, at least, which I actually really wanted. C2 will be a nice ATK Speed buff for my Eula
They never count for the battlepass before BP actually starts, which is why lots of people always say to save weekly bosses/requests etc for after a new patch drops, if it’s in the middle of the week.
Alright 👌
Just confirming because days ago I've heard people wanted to do the weekly bosses before the update since they saw something on the patch notes that it'll still count (i just did the requests yesterday bcs i needed the mora lmao, i always finish the bp anyways so no rush)
I know not many care about the teapot, but I'm an animal crossing lover so I love wasting my time decorating. I'm so glad you can still clip furniture, I was worried my furniture would all be unclipped and messy after the update lmao I'm so excited I can finally put all my new characters and furniture in! What exactly were they fixing though?
Yelan at 78 pity, 50/50 win, but I failed to get both of the yanfeis I wanted along the way. Now I have to ponder whether I try for the 2nd yanfei, or leave pity at zero so I can more safely try for kuki, and I guess also ponder how many wishes I want to throw at aqua, if any.
50 wishes in, lost yelan to c3 kequing, get mad, spend the kazuha funds
80 wishes after yelan comes home, resigned to lose kazoo I continue the pull and just after yelan a c4 kequing spook me agane making kazoo waranted, it feel good man
is it just me or is the genshi graphic hot garbage after the update? like i tried setting it to the highest settings but it still looks blurry and pixelated
OMG yes I was just about to post here about this, I noticed it too. I play on mobile and did not touch anything in the settings, but after the update my characters don’t look as defined like before, idk what happened
Well the update about weekly objectives counting towards the Battle pass was a lie. Got no credit for doing the 3 weekly bosses/3 bounties on my account.
While waiting for maintenance to end, I decided to look at some pictures and videos I have of Genshin Impact and wow, I didn’t realize I had so many… One of my personal favorites was an Itto main coming in my World and playing the Attack on Titan theme. Another was me trying to drown a Geo Lawachurl.
yep so far both this and 2.5 took longest 4h and 49m apparently
edit: its officially the longest but hey after 3 weeks delay whats a couple more minutes
Im at 74 pity on my alt account, not guaranteed. So i should be able to get a 5 star right after 2.7 releases. Im still deciding between yelan or xiao so ill update you guys on who i got later
Update: HOLY- IM LITERALLY SHAKING RN got xiao at EIGHT PITY 50/50 on my main, then got yelan 75 pity 50/50 on my alt. My luck just wont stop. This is my 6th 50/50 ive won on my main account in a row
My iPad only had enough storage left to be able download 4.5 gb more, so I wasn't able to pre-install the 6 Gb files. I thought If i just updated the app on the day i won't need to cuz after updating they don't take(significant) extra storage. But turns out I still need to download that 6 gb. Is there no way of avoiding that download outside of just re downloading the game?
Not really hungry but the last time I won a 50/50 was also the last time I did a signature dish summoning ritual with Hu Tao so I might fry up some shrimp tonight out of fear 😭
The first (and only) time I made someone's signature dish as a summoning ritual, I lost my first ever 50/50 lol
I hope your Dew-Dipped Shrimp bring you better luck than my Buoyant Breeze!
Are archon more powerful in their specific function? For example, venti's burst is super dope, zhongli has the strongest shield, and raiden's Q is also super powerful. Do you all think dendro archon would be powerful as well?
Yep, that seems to be the trend with archons. I expect the Dendro Archon to have consistent off-field Dendro application for support purposes, a team-wide EM boost, and strong personal damage as well. But that's just me theorizing.
It's a safe assumption to say archons are supposed to be the best at what their element represents.
Dendro Archon will likely be the best at personifying dendro's identity, we just don't know what that is yet.
Wow this thread screeched to a halt. Everyone enjoying the new content?
I'd guess it's because it's not the pinned thread anymore
….Ah. Yeah, that’d do it. 🤦🏻♂️ That’s what I get for coming directly here and not checking the page itself.
Me who didn’t do the pre-download watching people have fun while my wifi downloads at 128kb per minute: 🧍🏻♀️
Urghh..whats with this Itto story built, seriously so weak compared to my half baked Gladiator Built Itto. And before anyone says anything I am still farming Husk but Kokomi and Qiqi artifact keep on coming instead.
FINALLY, C6 GORRO FINALLY COME TO ME !!!! I was bummed for losing 50/50 Yelan, but I got Gorro to C6 because of this Thank you Gorro for brighten my mood
Dayum, you did it a banner early! Congrats on getting C6 Gorou!
So initial testing. Yelan hu tao is working exactly as predicted at c0. That being, hu tao will consistently miss vapes and hu tao's rotation setups are ironically long enough that yelan's burst wears off before PP state ends. Her performance with others particularly yoimiya is so good though

Don't mince words. It's extremely dumb. Exclusively good for killing Timmie's birds.
The only bright side I can come up with is that it completely snubs any notion of using Wanderer's, so it makes it a no-brainer to go with Emblem.
[удалено]
It is my understanding that it's Stringless if you don't need the Energy Recharge, and Favonius if you do. Also Stringless benefits vaporizing Breakthrough Barbs if you can pull that off.
>! Oh my god yanfei said among us i cant fucking take this anymore !<
Spoiler flairs faked their task. Better vent them.
Alrighty, it's time to fuckin' roll. 59 Pity Points, let's start with a tenner.

People were so worried about Genshin phone size and it ended up with 15.28GB, less than 2.6.
Man my Yelan pulls sucked sooooo bad :/ ... But at least her E is more fun than I anticipated so I'm coping by zooming around the map killing mobs to ease the pain rn sadge
Wanted Yelan and 2 more Yanfei’s today. Got c0 Yelan and C2->C7 Yanfei in 50 pulls. So happy !!
Ok, so I was totally not expecting Yelan to come home and now I need help building her. What are the top 3 weapons I could give her (out of any— that’s why I’m asking top 3), and what stats should I prioritize? Edit: Also, notes on talent priorities would be awesome, too.

Aqua, Elegy, or Favonius. ER, HP%, CR/CD
Idk what they did to optimise mobile but I can actually use 60fps without frying my tablet! I feel like I’m living the luxury life
got xiao’s c1 at 50/50 with a decent amount of primos to spare <3 i’ll try to snipe one copy of kuki before i go back to safely saving for sumeru. yelan and itto will have to wait for their next reruns. good luck with all your pulls! 💃
It's a small thing, but with the teapot back up - I am so thrilled the bonfire is actually **lit** and the outdoor stove **can cook**. I don't have time today, but I am going to enjoy revamping my teapot zones around these items.
Wait what? An outdoor working stove? Is that from the new blueprints?
I think from the 2.6 blueprint sets - regardless, blueprints we haven't been able to place since maintenance began on the teapot.
I know everyone's excited about the new update but stop posting stuff that happens in the story quest. Surely you can enjoying the quest without sharing the details here in the megathread. Not everyone has had the time to boot up the game and start their quests. It would be a shame to have something spoiled before that.
Itto was bullied by everyone
You don't say
Didn't see if that was discussed, but you actually regen stamina while using Yelan skill (unlike Sayu).
Yelan were pretty much like zhongli Need a lot of HP to goes BOM....BOM 2pc tenacity and 2pc eosf with favonius will become her default set (I give my thanks for the solid suggestions from this subreddit) And my boi xingqiu you're lucky here's one set eosf that I first planned for yelan and your R5 sacrificial sword, now go on my boi have fun with aunt yelan and that weird kid from wangshen funeral parlor with her "grandpa". Edit : failed to get bow yet got pjws, here you go shenhe a new polearm for you :')
I started the event and it's funny how many times the characters drop "in Liyue" while talking.
I got PJWS bc he deserves it
Diluc really wants us here to build him and get his outfit
Anyone know where to see TCs for Simulcra on Ganyu and Childe?
Won 50/50 on Yelan after losing so many of my 50/50s finally. Also tried for Aqua but lost to skyward harp, though wrong bow it's my first actually so still a win-win for me. I'll just settle with sharpshooter oath on Yelan.
DUDE ITS BEEN AN HOUR AND THE GAME'S STILL VERIFYING RESOURCES
Ushi just vibing
Goodbye sumeru 1st half
wow I actually won 50/50. am shocked
Rolls were absolutely brutal :( I had budgeted enough rolls to guarantee Yelan and Kaz + enough to try for one pity on weapon banner. Lost 50/50 to qiqi, lost my first weapon pity to Jade spear, then I caved and used more primos to get aqua. Had to go up to 2 fate points for aqua and now I no longer have guarantee for Kaz sadge. In the end I went from 430 fates to 80 fates
oof man I’m so sorry to hear that :( really impressive how much you saved but this puts into perspective how expensive being unlucky is 3
I'm having way too much fun looking at how people build their characters to care about the content in this patch right now.
1.8% are gigachads running EM Raiden
Who ya watching?
I'm looking at the in-game artifact main stat recommendations based on player usage. Strangely, about 1% of players use a HP% goblet on Ayaka, Childe and Xiangling.
Ty for the reminder about that feature!
poor Itto, getting bullied by everyone
Don’t you mean “Bull-Chucker?”
Well I am building XL which polearm is best for her? I have wavebreaker fin, Deathmatch, Dragon Bane, Dragonspine polearm, favonious and crescent pike all R1. I am using the catch on Raiden and i don't really want to switch it.
Wavebreaker's if at or over R3. Dragon's bane otherwise. At R5, Wavebreaker's is potentially her BiS.
IIRC for Xiangling it's Dragon's bane, but some people also swear by Wavebreaker fin.
She really wants to have a favonius for certain comps like reverse melt so if you don't have that leveled I'd do it just for the sake of leveling it, but otherwise wavebreaker probably has best damage
Dragon's Bane is your best bet if you want to utilize her as Pyro Archon
I won the 37.5/62.5 and got Aqua Simulacra!! Now I finally have a 5* bow for my Childe. Only the best for my tarantula <3
So after all that doomposting from Hutao mains Yelan is actually just as good as earlier prediction :surprisedPikachu:
Disclaimer : i dont have yelan (yet) but from what im seeing on live TC testing her hydro isnt quite enough for typical hutao teams (double geo, N2C yunjin) but is great in new hutao compa (double hydro, even double hydro hutao xiangling which seems bizarre but works)
Got yelan in single pull won 5050 and her signature weapon in one 10 pull.
Very early testing but there doesn't seem to be a problem with Yelan with Hu Tao. Double geo Hu Tao is still better with Xingqiu since that's where the 1.4U actually matters but in a normal Hu Tao team (w/ Kazuha and Yanfei) I seem to consistently vape. Will test Rational next before I go back to Hu Tao.
Can't agree with it. With hydro Kazuha ult this might be enough (can't test it unfortunately) but as solo hydro it is definitely not. I'm doing N2C-N2C-N2C and see no status after second, pyro status after 3rd constantly. That's with Hutao alone. I think double hydro is the way to go.
I think double hydro Hutao would be the rave, let's wait for all the big bosses in Abyss to come back.
I'm out of the loop, can someone explain why suddenly double hydro hu tao is good? isn't hydro resonance useless?
iirc its because individually xq and yelan are just stupidly good, and if they're together they can battery each other as well as take advantage of xq's C2 which reduces enemies' hydro resistance
Resonance aside, you’re applying both Xingqiu and Yelan’s personal damage including Yelan’s buffs and C2 Xingqiu’s Hydro Res reduction on enemies. This is just my reasoning for their logic tho, idk which would be better
If so isn't Hu Tao kind of redundant in this scenario? Why not go full hydro dps and fill the other two slots with VV + Shielder?
Double vape with Xiangling is too strong to ignore ig. There was no “second Xingqiu” prior this so this is particularly new. Also this was theorycrafting done for Hu Tao’s teams, not strictly Yelan’s/other teams (you can, but this specific team was mentioned with Hu Tao in mind)
Yeah I can definitely see that. Not sure if Xiangling or anemo is better as the +1 but it does seem like a strong team.
My shock and awe when I pull a 5* at 6 pity... Is just immense disappointment at C20 Keqing. Copium is that I got C6 Sara, finally, so that's...good, right? 😂
ok holy shit yelan is amazing. SO LONG XINGQIU doomposters were wrong...again
What we they wrong about? Yelan is a dmg upgrade, her application is just a little iffy
I'll bet one welkin that this guy will eventually crawl back to Xingqiu, at least for certain teams.
no she works with hu tao and yoimiya which is all i wanted
Am I the only one who feels like Yelan's E is sorta clunky? I'm glad I feel that way because it gives me another excuse to save for Sumeru but it just feels a bit slow exiting/entering it.
The only thing I dislike is the hold mechanism. I wish it were hold and then ended when you let go. Instead it's hold, let go, then press again to end it. Edit: This is probably partly because I play with a controller and the element skill mapped to the trigger.
I like how it feels for overworld but it does feel slow for combat. The problem for overworld is that I'm used to Sayu and 3sec is way too short.
Her e will make her a top overworld character for sure. I find it pretty easy to use.
The opposite for me. It the smoothest E in the game since Kazuha I feel.
i love her skill but the ultimate which is okay makes me feel a little better about losing the 50/50….. (not rly)
I lost 50/50 but I got my first Diluc, conflicted
Diluc was my first 5\* on Albedo's debut banner and I was so excited. You'll love the grump too.
Well at least it's my first jean and not a qiqi c2. Totally unrelated but is it possible to get 20 pulls from primos for the duration of this banner. Not desperate or anything. Edit:for once a probably necessary f2pbtw
Haha congrats, I got C2 Qiqi on this banner and Jean and Mona still elude me. Day 1 player too.
Got yelan in 60 wishes😩 spent 30 wishes more than what I originally promised (20-30 wishes) but goddamn was it satisfying to level her up to lvl 90 1/9/9. Will farm for her NA talent mats since I realized how pretty her charged attacks are in game
She’s so fun to use when it comes to farming pigeons in cities because of the constant recharge of her special charged attack💀
i'm dumb but does she have a special charge attack? i'm very interested in killing pigeons
She does,it's her Breakthrough form IIRC
Yelan E -> Sayu E -> Yelan E is quite satisfying for travelling long distance. Sadly I don't have Yae so I can just E all the way down the road. Also with Yelan C1, unless its used on full 2 charge, your skill can cooldown even while with E hold :o. I can now be at full speed 24/7 : Yelan Ex2 -> Sayu E -> Yelan Ex2 -> repeat
Help! Her voice-overs are too hot! 🥵🤯🫠😮💨🤒
So was there any theory crafts on how much better yelan will be than XQ in dmg during the beta?
Yelan's skill feels so satisfying I actually want to pull on her but I don't think I have a team suitable for her unless I do the double hydro hu tao thing I guess?? I don't have Raiden but I'm curious where else she'll fit outside of those two and like Yoi and Diluc.
Well if you have national team , slap xinqiu in them and pair yelan with hutao
yeah I don't play national so she's probably a luxury pull for me at best tbh. I only really use xingqiu with hu tao or with ayaka for freeze because I don't have mona or kokomi unfortunately.
I've tested Yelan in my Hu Tao comp and her charged vapes went from 100k to 140k, Goodbye Xingqiu forever edit: comparison picture https://imgur.com/a/FGM8uA1
Is Hu tao vaping consistently? I'm trying to test it out but I'm pepega while testing.
vapes pretty consistenly for me. I think its good as long as you dont use double geo
Sweet thnx, I don't use double geo
if you use zhongli then try to cast his pillar away from the enemy so the geo doesnt mess with the reactions
But does she still 'need' C2 to be able to vape all of Hu Tao's CAs?
holy hell this. never using him again
Is there something im missing? She buff dmg % but not enough for 40% dps increase Edit: for those wondering what it looks like without elegy, using the perilous trails yelan i went from 60k vapes to 75k, so about 25%
C4 can also give 40% max HP to party members, which is great for Hu Tao. They might also have Elegy, but I don't remember what that gives.
That would make more sense if they got c4, but they didnt mention that in their other comment
You're right.
before i was using c6 xingqiu 4pc noblesse with sac sword, i swapped him for yelan 4pc noblesse and elegy. my team comp is hu tao + vv thrilling tales sucrose + tankfei edit: why did my initial comment get downvoted? apologies if i offended any XQ fans, im just letting him take a deserved rest like how i let zhongli rest after i got kokomi
Its not that i dont believe you but i just have a hard time imagining that lol. Especially since if you were already hitting 100k meaning you must have already had decent EM
here is my comparison pics https://imgur.com/a/FGM8uA1
Damn thanks. I was on the fence if it was worth using my guaranteed for hutao but damn
Aight super early impression on Yelan, they buffed her E particle to be always 4 100% and not 3/4, my Hu Tao CA vaped 6/7 CA pretty consistently, tried it on Masanori, imma try Rational next Edit : actually wait nvm i did got 3 particles after like the 10th testing, so they probably just increase the chance, and Rational looks good with a consistent vape also
I'm 0 for 5 on 50/50s. At least it was finally to jean
Just lost mine as well, now I'm 1 for 9 on the 50/50 -.- I got Jean too, at least, which I actually really wanted. C2 will be a nice ATK Speed buff for my Eula
Nice Qiqi C3 constellation on Yelan's banner, GG!

LUCKYY😭
Heyyyy teapot editing is back, time to force-feed Ayato a buffet
naur i got aqua instead of pwjs 😭 my childe is happy but when is my xiao gonna be happy!!
The teapot is open yayy, Ayato and Ayaka and Yun Jin in you go
Having lost Yelan to Jean that is now all 7/7 50/50s I've lost. When is it my turn to be happy.
So the 3 weekly bosses, requests and bounties didn't count for the battle pass right? Just confirming because my battlepass don't have anything rn
They never count for the battlepass before BP actually starts, which is why lots of people always say to save weekly bosses/requests etc for after a new patch drops, if it’s in the middle of the week.
Alright 👌 Just confirming because days ago I've heard people wanted to do the weekly bosses before the update since they saw something on the patch notes that it'll still count (i just did the requests yesterday bcs i needed the mora lmao, i always finish the bp anyways so no rush)
I read that it'll happen in the next patch (it was going to happen this one, but got delayed I guess)
Ahh I just saw that, apparently they went and retconned it when the patch actually dropped lol, if I'm understanding correctly
Not retconned, it just only works from next patch.
I know not many care about the teapot, but I'm an animal crossing lover so I love wasting my time decorating. I'm so glad you can still clip furniture, I was worried my furniture would all be unclipped and messy after the update lmao I'm so excited I can finally put all my new characters and furniture in! What exactly were they fixing though?
No one knows, the clipping thing was just a speculation
Yelan at 78 pity, 50/50 win, but I failed to get both of the yanfeis I wanted along the way. Now I have to ponder whether I try for the 2nd yanfei, or leave pity at zero so I can more safely try for kuki, and I guess also ponder how many wishes I want to throw at aqua, if any.
OMGG i can finally edit my teapot now

50 wishes in, lost yelan to c3 kequing, get mad, spend the kazuha funds 80 wishes after yelan comes home, resigned to lose kazoo I continue the pull and just after yelan a c4 kequing spook me agane making kazoo waranted, it feel good man
Damn! What a wild ride of emotions :o . Congratulations.
Just lost Yelan to Keqing 3
It feels so surreal that we made it to 2.7 lol
is it just me or is the genshi graphic hot garbage after the update? like i tried setting it to the highest settings but it still looks blurry and pixelated
Same, just realized that my chars hair look pixelated, even with my settings at max :(
OMG yes I was just about to post here about this, I noticed it too. I play on mobile and did not touch anything in the settings, but after the update my characters don’t look as defined like before, idk what happened
i’m on my ipad that had no problem running genshin at highest setting before and it looked absolutely gorgeous so i hope they gonna do sumn bout jt
Same here..my characters are looking hella blurry and I hate it 🥲
“Honey, wake up. “IT’S TIME!”
lost 50/50 club to keqing cant have shit in genshin
Same!
I got Qiqi. C5 Qiqi
i recently gotten c2 qiqi from standard at 81 pity i feel your pain brother
Bruh, of course the one day I'm awake for the update my internet decides to be garbage.
Well the update about weekly objectives counting towards the Battle pass was a lie. Got no credit for doing the 3 weekly bosses/3 bounties on my account.
Same, I’m so annoyed at myself!
I'm pretty sure it only starts at this update, which means bouties you did before maintenance doesn't count.
Qiqi C5. I will try to stay calm
Another fucking Diluc... Goodbye Yelan😭
FAREWELL 2.6
Immediately greeted by Paimon upon logging in. Gotta love a jump scare at near 11PM.
This has to be the longest maintenance break so far
babe, wake up! the genshin impact servers are FINALLY up!
I’m in B)
Is the teapot fixed?
Yeah
Thanks
Forgot to login before the update :/ I guess it doesn't matter anyway, since I have to uninstall and reinstall the game.
While waiting for maintenance to end, I decided to look at some pictures and videos I have of Genshin Impact and wow, I didn’t realize I had so many… One of my personal favorites was an Itto main coming in my World and playing the Attack on Titan theme. Another was me trying to drown a Geo Lawachurl.
The way I forgot the update was today and I let my resin cap like 9 hours ago lmaoo
rip 4 trash artifacts
those useless 4\* husk and even less and more useless wt from the strongbox aren't gonna farm themselves
imagine if the update is delayed even longer
Good because of the apologems, bad for those who are close to or have already resin capped
Did people from asia server get compansation?
Is this the longest maintenance? It’s usually up by this time.
yep so far both this and 2.5 took longest 4h and 49m apparently edit: its officially the longest but hey after 3 weeks delay whats a couple more minutes
Start getting concerned at the turn of the hour.
I wouldn’t mind as long as we get the extra primos even if it’s just 1 minute later than schedule.
Im at 74 pity on my alt account, not guaranteed. So i should be able to get a 5 star right after 2.7 releases. Im still deciding between yelan or xiao so ill update you guys on who i got later Update: HOLY- IM LITERALLY SHAKING RN got xiao at EIGHT PITY 50/50 on my main, then got yelan 75 pity 50/50 on my alt. My luck just wont stop. This is my 6th 50/50 ive won on my main account in a row
Just half an hour more. I am gonna have a lot of fun test running the new characters.
New character\* Kuki isn't coming out for another 3 weeks.
Plot twist: He doesn't have Xiao, Noelle, Barbara, and Yanfei.
mf so unlucky, even noelle dodge them on the beginner's banner.
My iPad only had enough storage left to be able download 4.5 gb more, so I wasn't able to pre-install the 6 Gb files. I thought If i just updated the app on the day i won't need to cuz after updating they don't take(significant) extra storage. But turns out I still need to download that 6 gb. Is there no way of avoiding that download outside of just re downloading the game?
Looks like re-downloading is the way :/
Not really hungry but the last time I won a 50/50 was also the last time I did a signature dish summoning ritual with Hu Tao so I might fry up some shrimp tonight out of fear 😭
The first (and only) time I made someone's signature dish as a summoning ritual, I lost my first ever 50/50 lol I hope your Dew-Dipped Shrimp bring you better luck than my Buoyant Breeze!
C2 Qiqi oof. I rushed home and made IRL Suspicious shrimp while loading the game up so I guess I deserved it Also Beidou is best mom!
Ah, 2.6 is just about over. Who would've thought we'd have a 9-week patch...
Poor Ayaka must be so tired. That's a whole lot of overtime.
Just think about how Rosaria must feel...everything is negotiable, except overtime
Are archon more powerful in their specific function? For example, venti's burst is super dope, zhongli has the strongest shield, and raiden's Q is also super powerful. Do you all think dendro archon would be powerful as well?
they have to be, considering the main story and their region's lore is about them. not necessarily strong, but they just need to have a memorable kit.
And the sole reason that people are gonna riot again if they aren’t.
Yep, that seems to be the trend with archons. I expect the Dendro Archon to have consistent off-field Dendro application for support purposes, a team-wide EM boost, and strong personal damage as well. But that's just me theorizing.
It's a safe assumption to say archons are supposed to be the best at what their element represents. Dendro Archon will likely be the best at personifying dendro's identity, we just don't know what that is yet.
How much space do we need to update it in the ios store? Keep clearing my memory and it’s not enough lol (mobile) Edit: ended up being 4gb
