Yoimiya's JP VA is the one who voiced Rin Tohsaka (and her iterations) from the Fate series. Welp, I don't even play with JP voicelines but that alone is tempting me to roll for both Ayaka AND Yoimiya since we know Baal won't be in 2.1 and I'm guessing not in 2.2 either. Worst case scenario is I lose the 50/50 on Yoimiya's banner and get a guaranteed Baal. Plus it also means I stand a chance of getting Sayu.


My primogem funds right now:

Seems like Electro MC is gonna be a pretty good support unit for physical carries or electro carries

Maybe I'll finally use my MC

The teapot load limit need to be increased, otherwise introducing new gardening/farming system would be pointless if they also add to the load like the trees.

I tried out the Honka version of Fisch today
She's really fun!
I don't play Honnkai that often though, I got that two-week welcome back activity bc I was inactive for so long aksfdjks

- - - - -

Finally got my MC an electro set
He's 2-piece TF / 2-piece glad
I'm gonna be stuck in the electro domain for at least two more weeks. I need new artifacts for all the new electro characters I want to get.
Fischl also still needs a set, TF Bennett as well.
I think I'll run the new ER set for Beidou instead of TF though...

100% going for Yae & Baal. I'm cementing my electro supremacy. Hopefully, electro reactions get fixed once Baal drops. My favourite reaction is Electro-charged. Give me top-tier damage too. Don't force me into vape comps. Electro-charged is more fun


Thoma, Gorou & Sara. I'm also looking forward to them. Hoping they're on Yae or Baal's banners. I have a feeling that Gorou's going to be paired with Kokomi though, considering they're both a part of the resistance. Kokomi looks interesting, but I wanna see her gameplay before making any decisions.

I'm waiting for anniversary banner leaks before deciding to pull for Ayaka. If there's any new electro unit or Albedo banner during 2.1 it's a 100% skip. Will probably pull up until my next 4-star for Yoimiya, which is like... 2 rolls. Hopefully, the standard banner gets fixed in 2.1, no more Qiqi's pls (plus my copium request of adding Albedo & Venti to standard pls). Yoimiya I'm 100% not rolling for. I already have Hu Tao as a single-target DPS and I've heard her pyro application isn't the best...
Maybe in her re-run though.

 

[Dragon of the West]

Pulling: Ayaka (less than 10 days to go!!), Yoimiya (therefore Sayu as well), Baal, Sara
Considering: Yae Miko, Kokomi
Skipping: Thoma, Gorou (though both are likely gonna be 4* so I'll eventually get them)

Skipping the furry
He'll be budget Albedo until albedo drops again. Plus the first geo 4-star since launch. Noelle & Ning have been carrying that element as 4-stars.
Thoma showed up at my house and held a gun to my back telling me to roll for him
I have no choice in the matter.

I really hope that Baal comes sooner rather than later (2.2 pls)
I need to save up as much as I can for Baizhu. There are rumours that Mihoyos internal testers are testing both him & Yao Yao currently and I need all my funds for him.
If I'm lucky, I'll go for his C1. Still waiting on Scaramouche too.

 

[Baymax]

My eyes are only on Tohma
I will probably try to get Baal for my Archon collection... but tbh most characters here (mainly 5*) I'm considering rolling for.
I would skip Yoimiya but my Pyro collection... plus I kinda want Sayu for her passive.

Similar to you though, I'm still waiting for any news on Scaramouche so I don't want to spend all my primos. He and Tohma are the characters I really want; I'm just glad Tohma is a 4* so if the first few rolls aren't meant to be, I can only hope that he appears one day.

 

[LION]

Kazuha with Klee is super fun

Someone brought their Klee into co-op today and everything got shredded in under a minute skdjsk

I'm gonna pull for her next time. idc ab what everyone says ab power creep

Yes klee is super fun !! I wish I pulled her when I had the chance

I tried out the Honka version of Fisch today
She's really fun!

Tbh I don’t really wanna pull anyone shdhdhsh but if I get lucky I hope its either ayaka or yoimiya since amber sucks!

 

[soozie]

Definitely pulling for Yae and Baal They just look so pretty lol and I love to get more electro characters
Not sure about the rest yet, but maybe once I have enough primos saved up

 

[Polaris_Tae]

weekly bosses didn't drop any rings of boreas for Keqing. I guess I'll wait until next week to crown her.
Meanwhile, that also means I can finally work on maxing out Aether
Electro MC here we come!

 

[Dragon of the West]

Ningguang! I'm probably gonna do some more pulls on this banner even after I get Ayaka because I really want C6 Ningguang.

Ningguang! I'm probably gonna do some more pulls on this banner even after I get Ayaka because I really want C6 Ningguang.

ooh, that banner's super stacked! Ning and Chong barely get featured so this is great! Interestingly though, none of these characters would synergies that well with Ayaka

I'm waiting for the weapon banner bc I'm not sure if I'll be rolling for Ayaka yet. I really want either Amos or Skyward to be the 2nd featured weapon so I wouldn't feel so bad if I lost the 50/50, plus my Childe needs a new weapon.
anything but Skyward Spine pls

 

[Dragon of the West]

anything but Skyward Spine pls

 

[Polaris_Tae]

I hate it here...

We haven't had a bow feature for months and I don't wanna roll for the new bow. Plus the ER substat on Skyward is trash. I don't have Zhongli & Xiangling already has a decently levelled Favonius Lance
I guess I'll have to risk it though.
If my current track record continues I'll likely get the character BIS weapon this time too. I've gotten both Eula's & Kazu's BIS.
Eula's weapon was an accident. It came 7 rolls after my Aquilla pulls, while Kazu's was on soft pity.

 

[Polaris_Tae]

of the three namecards, I think I like Sayu's the most

Sayu's namecard

Yoimiya's namecard

Ayaka's namecard​

 

[Polaris_Tae]

oh my god, where was this when I wanted to max out Kazuha the other week


Calculating all that mora/exp books was horrid. I'll be using this for all of the new chars I get
Waiting for Albedo re-run so I can use this



- - - - -

ok, I finally got my MC to level 80 today
non-ascended bc I have no more mora left

My Inazuma Elctro-Traveller prep is finally complete.

He'll be using my Black Sword.

Not gonna touch any of the anemo/geo talent levels bc I don't really like those elements for him




I think I'll finish levelling Diona next
I wanna get her shield to level 9. She's probably one of my favourite utility characters rn. Shielder, healer + EM bot pair her with mona & Kazuha and everything gets shredded in an instant!

 

[Polaris_Tae]

Looking at all the new Inazuma recipes and realizing just how much fish & rice I'll need
I... I'm scared...
They better add a second shop for rice. One general goods store isn't enough. Especially since I run out of rice by the end of the day bc of my addiction to making countless pieces of Universal Peace



I'm almost up to 200 pieces of fish from a day worth of fish farming

 

[Dragon of the West]

Ooh, I could really do with getting Stringless bow for my Venti since I'm using Windblume Ode on him right now. It's the one 4* weapon that has somehow evaded me throughout the entirety of the 9 months I've played the game.

 

[Polaris_Tae]

Tohma voiceline! Tohma voiceline!
idc! idc! I'm pulling for him and switching back to English for the first time in two months just for him.
Praying that the Albedo banner drops (or gets added to the standard banner) during 2.1 patch so that I can go back to wishing for 4-stars.

R5 Stringless & Sac Greatsword come home!
I need you for Chongers and my future Venti. Only one more stringless and it'll be maxed out.
A Fav Codex would be nice too. I cannibalised my last one when I was levelling my Aquila.
This was me with Rust skdjsk
it evaded me for the longest time.
I only just got my first copy of Rust last month. Considering giving it to my Childe once I finish levelling it. He's using the BP bow atm

 

[Dragon of the West]

I only just got my first copy of Rust last month.

I have mine at R4 and I don't even use it on anyone lol.

Considering giving it to my Childe once I finish levelling it. He's using the BP bow atm

Isn't the Viridescent Hunt better on DPS Childe than even R5 Rust? At least that's what I'm getting from this popular spreadsheet:

 

[Polaris_Tae]

Ok, my Inazuma food pre-farming is almost done!
200 snapdragons, 400 fish, 300 salt, 175 sugar, 121 pieces of butter, 300 pieces of shrimp, plus ab 50 x milk saved for the Tri-coloured Dango recipe.
Hoping I can get my hands on at least a few of these recipes without and stupid pre-requisite quests. The crab, ham & veggie bake recipe took me over four months to attain

I just need to farm up on more rice & crab meat. I used up my entire supply of crab meat to make 50 pieces of Crab Roe. I hate the fact that it takes 20 minutes just to process


Also, why are there so many new recipes that use crab roe or snapdragons, but there's still only one recipe that uses smoked fowl
My passive collection of over 100 Smoked Fowl from the Good Hunter weekly shop refreshes are still going unused

I have mine at R4 and I don't even use it on anyone lol.

Isn't the Viridescent Hunt better on DPS Childe than even R5 Rust? At least that's what I'm getting from this popular spreadsheet:

oh, really? That's awesome then!
idk where but I heard that R5 Rust was only slightly better than R1 Viridescient, though maybe that's old info from early game, idk
I just want the game to give me Skyward Harp already, AKA the only other Skyward weapon I want. I hate MHY for putting Skyward Spine on the weapon banner instead of the Harp. I don't wanna get spooked by that spear...
