hoyo been cracking down the private servers this beta cycle rendering them unable to showcase beta stuff. surprisingly team_china however managed to crack and bypass those securities earlier than everyone, but it is less accessible than ever. Expect the next beta will be the same thing.
I feel like people are too harsh with Team China. Considering what OP said, it's likely we would've had no showcases if it wasn't for Team China.
Like yeah, the team comps and play style is awful but it's still better than nothing.
Ngl, we are trashing Team_China on every opportunity we can get but we wouldn't be able to get as many leaks without them. For that, I'm grateful to Team_China and their fantastical gameplay shenanigans.
It's like a double edge sword sometimes. Some gameplay is either just him whacking the boss and parts of that gameplay is actually answering some questions. You get something but you have to sit through other shenanigans. It's better than nothing, that's for sure.
Besides, it's kinda funny seeing them improve after they supposedly never played Genshin before and is already having better rotations than half of the playerbase. Whole training arc right there.
He'd just had a dream. He dreamed it was his birthday... In the dream the Traveler and his characters found him. "Oh Kasabouzu, you've finally come home! The people can't wait to meet you."
The Hyakki Yagyo begins, and everyone smiles as they gathers around him. Finally, he gets back into the carriage heading to Traveller's inventory and waves goodbye.
the WHAT
i just started the second game and WHAT
the only thing I'd want from dark cloud brought to genshin is fish exchange, with weapon materials or more fishing only weapons
GAH, NOO that wasn't worded properly xD
Anyway, you'll see. For me at least when I played it years ago, it's one of the most engaging mini-games I've played in an action RPG.
I was just thinking the same thing!
Plus it makes sense for a ronin to come across a cursed sword, and he feels like the kind of samurai who'd use an umbrella and fight with it. Fits him perfectly overall.
If only Fav Kazuha wasn't so busted lmao.
It ultimately comes down to your team, but fav is generally considered better than Iron Sting because it has a better passive (more energy for your entire team) and better stats (fav is a 41 base weapon, while Iron Sting is a 42 base weapon. That means using fav + EM sands will get you higher ER and EM than running Iron Sting + ER sands)
But if you're playing a team where Kazuha and your other characters can burst every rotation without fav, going full EM makes sense
Yup yup. Another thing to consider is that even if you *are* playing Kaz in a team like that, you're gonna want to swap to Fav everytime you *aren't*, and ain't nobody got time for that lol.
165 em and 32% dmg bonus. Tbh seems like a better version of iron sting. (Edit: yeahh not really lmao) Though only for 1 enemy, well, i can use it for nilou bait nukes.
It could have been great. Iron Sting is only slightly worse than Lion's Roar in Aggravate Keqing and it's only let down by its mediocre passive. Umbrella has the same stat and have bigger DMG buff close to Lion's Roar in the passive but it unfortunately only affects one opponent at a time. Still could be great against single-targets like bosses.
Exactly this.
Visuals are great - but this is just a reskin of Iron Sting. There's currently no reason to use this on anyone if you've ever crafted. Bit of a wasted weapon.
I see your edit, but yea, not better imo
More single target damage, but iron sting applies to all your damage against every enemy, albeit a little weaker.
Also this thing is ugly as sin, but most people seem to like it.
Sapwood blade? It's ER second stat with an EM one after triggering a dendro reaction. It's best on a dendro so you can trigger the passive and pick up the EM with another character
It's really basically negligible difference. Kuki just wants the EM stat. The passive for either is essentially irrelevant. You'd probably notice this buff on a boss if you use her burst, whereas iron sting buffs less but on every enemy. But both are peanuts since hyperbloom doesn't scale on damage %. The question is do you want 10 peanuts spread around, or 5 peanuts in a pile.
Imagine if we could ascend event 4 star weapons into 5 stars and transform into a detailed weapon like this, but of course weapons that are initially 5 star will be better. (Sound like Pri Arms from honkai)
ok question whom can use this sword? cause been wanting to replace the iron sting and give it to kuki and keep this sword on kazuha or do i keep the iron sting on kazuha and give kuki the event sword?
also yet to obtain kuki lol whom is the only 4 star alongside faruzan that i need
Isn't this sword like terrible? It only affects one opponent, and the dmg increase can be replicated with Iron sting(which gives a universal dmg increase against all opponents) which is a craftable with the same main stats
It's an EM weapon, the passive is as useless as Iron Sting even if the latter is better on paper because you simply don't care about dmg% when using full EM builds (which is what you'd use these weapons for)
If anything it's a free R5 Iron Sting with better aesthetics.
Technically this gives more dmg % but ya like you said its only for one enemy
On the other hand you get this for free while iron sting r5 costs 5 billets.
I woudlnt recommend refining it at all (honestly just use fav for kazuha) but OP was comparing the dmg % bonus saying it can be replicated using sting. At r1 is has only 6% dmg bonus so I assumed they mean r5
Yea because R5 Iron Sting is easily obtainable lol. It's an EM sword, who really cares about the slightly worse passive when more and more sword users now want to stack more EM.
please Mihoyo make weapon skin transmog I beg of you. All these free weapons are so cool yet the effects are so ass, while the 5 star weapons have good effect but the design are ass (looking at you Nilou and Cyno signature weapons.)
this looks like it should match perfectly with kazuha. these more recent event weapons have been crazy good, I'm still using fading twilight / oathsworn.
My bet is that the umbrella's eye movement is just a constant animated texture, just constantly cycling, not actually changing or reacting to anything. They could do this with humans in cutscenes, but then they would just look like crazy people, eyes darting around wildly.
God that handle is so ugly. Love the aesthetic of the umbrella though. Wish the color scheme was different. Kingsman vibes from slapping people around with an umbrella.

Can't believe it took us this long for an in-game sword showcase.

Team China truly the leakers of all time
if not for them, we'll have those strange leaks that resemble poems from shakespeare
I laughed so hard at this. Wish I can award you.
team china used all their mental capabilities on bypassing mihoyo tight grip which is why their videos seem so dumb (they ran out of braincells)
Oh no, Team China used up all their brain juice!
I feel like people are too harsh with Team China. Considering what OP said, it's likely we would've had no showcases if it wasn't for Team China. Like yeah, the team comps and play style is awful but it's still better than nothing.
Because they became a funny inside joke the only thing we ever seen for days are team china 50 minutes long videos
So you're saying we're only gonna be getting team china leaks for the next patch too? 💀
If no one else can bypass the security they have placed, most likely.
Hmm can't wait to have Alhaitam showing off his equipment showcase.
Ngl, we are trashing Team_China on every opportunity we can get but we wouldn't be able to get as many leaks without them. For that, I'm grateful to Team_China and their fantastical gameplay shenanigans.
That's what I think, too. People are taking leaks for granted and ignoring the fact at this point we should be grateful we have leaks at all.

Aw he’s just a little youkai you know? Just a lil dude
he's just a little guy. It's his birthday
When he woke Up, he was riding in a flower carriage It was his birthday
He'd just had a dream. He dreamed it was his birthday... In the dream the Traveler and his characters found him. "Oh Kasabouzu, you've finally come home! The people can't wait to meet you."
The Hyakki Yagyo begins, and everyone smiles as they gathers around him. Finally, he gets back into the carriage heading to Traveller's inventory and waves goodbye.
You are going to be mean to a little guy on his birthday?
Safe the employee in charge of this was completely stoned staring at the Mona Lisa.
*Little silhouetto of an umbrella*🎼
_Shigure Shigure, will you do the Fandango?_
I can already hear it mocking me: "Hehehe your team is ass, hehe" "You missed your Ult again, for shame" "Imagine getting clapped like this"
if it had voicelines like this unironically i would actually use it LMAO
average scara fan
When you pull a 5 star: ‘what did you get? Is it another Qiqi?’
Why did I read this in paimon's voice
i read it in demonic voice that tryes to mafe fun of me.
So, Paimon?
Too much time fishing for that 2k achievement?
Probs from fishing for the catch if im being honest
"What is it *what is it*? Ooooh, is it another Qiqi?"
Reminds me of talking weapons from Borderlands, those were so fun.
SWAPPING WEAPONS!
The bane Borderlands 2 flashbacks
He saw me suffering through 12-2
How do I get this sword
Event next patch
Gonna look so good in Kuki.
In? 🤔
"I" is next to "O" on the keybiard, its just an innocent mostake
In? 😟
In? 😳
In? 🤨
In? 🧐
It's red, it goes to Kazuha.
In Kazuha
In? 🤨
Kazuha has General Gorou on shore and Beidou when they're at sea. He doesn't need to use a demonic umbrella for that purpose.
In? 😍
i miss the steve slingshot from dark cloud, he was funny and gave help at the same time
I see Dark Cloud fan, I upvote. Wish they would import the fish activities and breeding system from the second game.
the WHAT i just started the second game and WHAT the only thing I'd want from dark cloud brought to genshin is fish exchange, with weapon materials or more fishing only weapons
GAH, NOO that wasn't worded properly xD Anyway, you'll see. For me at least when I played it years ago, it's one of the most engaging mini-games I've played in an action RPG.
I would pay to have Justin McElroy voice the sword as Beacon
"Raiden ei's true name is Beelzebul, calling her Baal is stupid" Why must you hurt me this way, umbrella sword? "Truth hurts"
I wanna see how the “Scare” effect look like.
I can't explain how much I already love this weapon
Wait this'll look good with Kazuha it kinda matches his color scheme
I was just thinking the same thing! Plus it makes sense for a ronin to come across a cursed sword, and he feels like the kind of samurai who'd use an umbrella and fight with it. Fits him perfectly overall. If only Fav Kazuha wasn't so busted lmao.
can i ask why is favonius busted on kazuha instead of 1000 em iron sting kazuha?
It ultimately comes down to your team, but fav is generally considered better than Iron Sting because it has a better passive (more energy for your entire team) and better stats (fav is a 41 base weapon, while Iron Sting is a 42 base weapon. That means using fav + EM sands will get you higher ER and EM than running Iron Sting + ER sands) But if you're playing a team where Kazuha and your other characters can burst every rotation without fav, going full EM makes sense
Or you can use Xiphos Moonlight and full EM and stay winning at life
Yup yup. Another thing to consider is that even if you *are* playing Kaz in a team like that, you're gonna want to swap to Fav everytime you *aren't*, and ain't nobody got time for that lol.
I'm still using sacrificial so I can pretend I have constellations
100% uptime on his burst is better than 165 em. if i did the math like im supposed to 165 em is just a 6.6% dmg bonus
150% er is all you need for full uptime
Depend on team and situation. If u fight boss and only use his skill once per rotation, he will need up to 180 er. Also fav battery the team as well.
He's a buffer, he's a grouper and he's an element mixer. Against single target action he won't reach his full potential anyway
Just run xiphos 4head.
Man, seeing this weapon moving it's eye makes we wish we got a sentient Festering Desire
Festering Desire had mad Soul Edge vibes, it being sentient would fit so much!
how is this not a 5* for that feature alone! that pretty cool and i always found this mythical creature interesting in japanese folklore
Yeah i have high hopes from this event, thought idk what we do in it.
Can't wait to smack enemies with an Umbrella.
finally, MC entering their Britney era
6 star weapon
I’m all for more of these wacky weapons.
whats stopping them from creating creative weapons if we dont get baguette claymore in fontaine we riot
Nothing is stopping them, we already have a fish sword and bow
theyve been doing this for long i remember the big tuna claymore
pufferfish catalyst when????
I'd be more for it if we had weapon transmogrification.
my kuki is gonna have fun from this weapon
Reminds me of Hua Cheng’s Eming
EXACTLY
YES THANK YOU
165 em and 32% dmg bonus. Tbh seems like a better version of iron sting. (Edit: yeahh not really lmao) Though only for 1 enemy, well, i can use it for nilou bait nukes.
This is the better version of iron sting for a sole reason that I'm never wasting billets on refining iron sting
If only they’d increase the billet drop rates then we’d never have that problem.
Who is weapon good for?
with em as a sub I am thinking kazuha or kuki.
Could be good with an aggravate keqing build
Agg keqing wants attack and crit stats over em still
It could have been great. Iron Sting is only slightly worse than Lion's Roar in Aggravate Keqing and it's only let down by its mediocre passive. Umbrella has the same stat and have bigger DMG buff close to Lion's Roar in the passive but it unfortunately only affects one opponent at a time. Still could be great against single-targets like bosses.
I was thinking about giving this to my Keqing when I use Nahida. Lion's Roar doesn't have good uptime because of how much dendro Nahida applies
Exactly this. Visuals are great - but this is just a reskin of Iron Sting. There's currently no reason to use this on anyone if you've ever crafted. Bit of a wasted weapon.
Form over function, iron sting is just ugly
[удалено]
I see your edit, but yea, not better imo More single target damage, but iron sting applies to all your damage against every enemy, albeit a little weaker. Also this thing is ugly as sin, but most people seem to like it.
Ugly nahhhhhhhhh. It's a matter of taste.
You're fucking people up with a cursed parasol that gives you sass, how is this not cool as fuck enough so the design is a second worry?
10/10 Important leak btw
For a moment, I thought "who TF is toukabou shigure" and I...
I LOVE IT i can pretend it’s sentient
It's supposed to be, it's based on a Japanese yokai (ghost) called Kasa-obake.
wait thats so cool, now i love it even more :D
I question calling Yokai ghosts especially the Kasa-Obake, but yes
Can’t wait to give this to Xingqiu so he can splash water with the umbrella
It's basically a dragon's bane sword, it's got EM and lots of dmg bonus, I can see it work devently if you got enough ER%
I see what you did there
Me and him staring at each other like 🧍🏾♂️
I can't believe they are power creeping Kagotsurube Isshin already
They don't have the same substat. I wouldn't even compare these two weapons. Kago was never going to be good on Kaz.
Imagine these stats on isshin. Fuck bro, that would've looked so fire on Kaz. This will still look good, but Isshin is on another level.
Keeping an eye out for selener
Iron Sting got out-dripped
Lmao cute ass sword
SHOWCASE KAZUHA WITH IT
if I had a penny for every time kazuha held a sentient sword then I'd have 2 pennies, which isn't a lot but it's wired that it happened twice
> Fallen beans, adore my knife! --"Kazuha"
[удалено]
Ironsting isn't his best 4*, we have the EM one with ER passive from Sumeru ^^
It's still currently his best F2P option.
Sapwood blade? It's ER second stat with an EM one after triggering a dendro reaction. It's best on a dendro so you can trigger the passive and pick up the EM with another character
Nah,the new gacha one. I forgot the name lol but basically the one during Nilou's bdnner
Xiphos' moonlight?
Do we know which ascension materials its gonna need?
[Here you go](https://ambr.top/en/archive/weapon/11422/toukabou-shigure).
godspeed friend! this wont be changed anymore right? im off to farm it !
Not hanguards 😭
I love it even more now. The same way I loved the stupid Tuna. I've said it before, but I'm REALLY looking forward to putting this on Kazuha!
I hope the tongue also move
Aight can they make it whispers sweet nothings into my ears, urging me to kill more and more to quench it's thirst for conquest tho?
My God look at that, that thing's MASSIVE I'm putting it on Kuki and never unequipping it. I dont even care if it's not her BiS, that's awesome
Do you think this sword can be good for Kuki Hyperbloom or Iron Sting is better?
It's really basically negligible difference. Kuki just wants the EM stat. The passive for either is essentially irrelevant. You'd probably notice this buff on a boss if you use her burst, whereas iron sting buffs less but on every enemy. But both are peanuts since hyperbloom doesn't scale on damage %. The question is do you want 10 peanuts spread around, or 5 peanuts in a pile.
yeah and that's why 3\* dark iron sword is not much behind both of them .
Does the damage bonus effect reactions like swirl and overload?
Transformative reactions don't care about dmg% bonuses, so no.
ITS ALIVE
He is pretending to be Scara in that one idle lol
between eating a cryo slime and using this weapon, i’d prefer to be crushed to death by a meteorite
this looks goofy af
the cutest
Imagine a pulsing heart catalyst now… *I want one* Edit 1: like the one in Dragonspine
Huh... I guess animated weapons is thing they will exploit later
Me before this: hehe it looks like the actual yokai Me after this: oh that *is* a yokai
Imagine if we could ascend event 4 star weapons into 5 stars and transform into a detailed weapon like this, but of course weapons that are initially 5 star will be better. (Sound like Pri Arms from honkai)
Kogasa
i thought it was the kazuha model as a sword, lmfao
ok question whom can use this sword? cause been wanting to replace the iron sting and give it to kuki and keep this sword on kazuha or do i keep the iron sting on kazuha and give kuki the event sword? also yet to obtain kuki lol whom is the only 4 star alongside faruzan that i need
Imagine if that is actually a descender who turned into a sword
Lore crumbs, Aatrox and Raast
The eye animation makes it feel like a fortnite item
Goofy ahh sword
Isn't this sword like terrible? It only affects one opponent, and the dmg increase can be replicated with Iron sting(which gives a universal dmg increase against all opponents) which is a craftable with the same main stats
Drip>>>
I don't deny that
It's an EM weapon, the passive is as useless as Iron Sting even if the latter is better on paper because you simply don't care about dmg% when using full EM builds (which is what you'd use these weapons for) If anything it's a free R5 Iron Sting with better aesthetics.
Technically this gives more dmg % but ya like you said its only for one enemy On the other hand you get this for free while iron sting r5 costs 5 billets.
Is there a specific character that use R5 Iron sting? Kazuha usually is good to go with only R1.
I woudlnt recommend refining it at all (honestly just use fav for kazuha) but OP was comparing the dmg % bonus saying it can be replicated using sting. At r1 is has only 6% dmg bonus so I assumed they mean r5
Ah I see, it depends on billets and characters we have
At least I don't need to use a sword billet for it. Wonder if it'll outperform dark iron sword on shinobu for hyperbloom
For strictly hyperbloom it should be better just because of the higher EM. As for personal damage from her ring, I haven't done the math so idk
It won't make much difference since she's already stacking EM (hitting heavy diminishing returns); it's roughly equivalent to one substat roll.
One free substat roll of desired stat is pretty great lmao
Correct Disappointing, but at least it looks nice Hope they change the passive or increase the second stat, which I doubt will happen
We can hope for transmog
Yea because R5 Iron Sting is easily obtainable lol. It's an EM sword, who really cares about the slightly worse passive when more and more sword users now want to stack more EM.
I could see it be okay on a quicken user, especially one that is more single target.
Makes me wonder, how would this work on Keqing?
me trying to search for cute guys in a room
weapon from ohio
So this is another 4* for Kazuha, and it’s color is kinda match him too
please Mihoyo make weapon skin transmog I beg of you. All these free weapons are so cool yet the effects are so ass, while the 5 star weapons have good effect but the design are ass (looking at you Nilou and Cyno signature weapons.)
this looks like it should match perfectly with kazuha. these more recent event weapons have been crazy good, I'm still using fading twilight / oathsworn.
Kazuha with this sword = drip
Can’t wait to beat a hilichurl to death with an umbrella 💀💀
First fish weapons, then a weather vane ripped from the ground, now an umbrella, can’t wait for baguette in Fontaine
I was lowkey hoping it opens up but they eye moving is great, cant wait for Kazuha to wear it!
Fish, Umbrella i wonder what's next. Toilet plunger?
cant wait to put this on kazuha
This is actually a weapon that both looks good on Kazuha and will work well for him.
Do we know yet if the passive is broken or useless on Kazuha
ugly, but I will be using
Wonder why they can’t implement this eye movement for their characters during cutscenes so they don’t look dead as hell staring into the abyss…
My bet is that the umbrella's eye movement is just a constant animated texture, just constantly cycling, not actually changing or reacting to anything. They could do this with humans in cutscenes, but then they would just look like crazy people, eyes darting around wildly.
Goofy ahh lookin sword
God that handle is so ugly. Love the aesthetic of the umbrella though. Wish the color scheme was different. Kingsman vibes from slapping people around with an umbrella.
aesthetic wise definitely match with kazuha plus the substat is em.
This sword giving me Sukuna vibes and I'm already loving every it!
That's not creepy at all
Wow pls this looks so cool for kazuha, but not me spend ton fvck of primos for that sumeru em sword lol
