The Genshin Impact Thread

[Seriously]

Welp, now that I have even more folks to pick from... Guess I should see who is actually worth building in to

 

[Polaris_Tae]

After two full patches of purely farming artifacts I have almost 600 artifacts ready to fodder. All I want are some new dendro goblets & 1 EM VV circlet pls. Kazuha still doesnt have a triple EM build & I've had him for over a year already

So I actually ended up winning my 50-50 again with Yoi, but it took me until week 2 of the banner & I ended up having to empty all my primo savings in the process
Looks like I'll be going into Sumeru with only 1500 primos.

Praying that Nilou is good bc she's the only other Sumeru 5-star other than Al-Haitham that I'm looking to get right now. If not, then I guess I'll be waiting for Ayato's re-run. I want his nuke of a C6 eventually & I'm currently ~1/3 of the way there.

Holding off on saving for the archon for now bc I learnt my lesson when I pulled Raiden on day-one only to not like her playstyle two weeks later. I'll get her on her re-run
I'll probably be going for a Burgeon Thoma team when dendro drops bc I've always wanted an excuse to build him and that comp looks pretty fun!

Some upcoming banners confirmed!

3.0 will be a skip for me in terms of banners since I already have Kokomi & Ganyu. Kokomi feels so much better to play on a freeze team than Mona, so I'm happy that I ended up getting her on her first run. My personal favourite team is one with Koko along with Ayaka, Kaeya & Kazuha.

Hoping to get Tighnari on either the 50-50 or on Standard in 3.1 since I'll likely be hitting pity on both character banners around that time. Just no more Mona copies pls. I gotten her on all but one of my 50-50 losses since last October

Went from liking Kazuha's island at the beginning of 2.8 to absolutely hating it now.
Who on the dev team decided it was a good idea to make 12 islands in one
The only island I have at 100% so far is Mona and that's only bc I spent two hours watching a YouTube chest hunting guide

woww those are some big ear , will u summon teapot ?

animals often have big ear in very hot environment like desert to shed excess heat

 

[Seriously]

Now I'm no expert honey, but I think you're doing it wrong

 

[Polaris_Tae]

welp, it's always the hydro units for me
I guess I'm not pulling for the entirety of 3.0 if I want any chance of getting Nilou & Candace
Hoping Candace is either a 4-star aoe hydro applier for F2P non-Mona/Kokomi havers, or a hydro buffer so my Ayato can be even more broken than he already is

---

Akoumaru re-run when... I still need three more refines for my Beidou

I guess I'm not pulling for the entirety of 3.0 if I want any chance of getting Nilou & Candace

I, too, have come to realization that I probably have to skip all the banners in 3.0 if I want to be absolutely sure I can get Cyno

 

[Seriously]

Zhongli is daddy, so mayyyyyyyyybe I'll try for him. But nobody who really jumps out to me in the upcoming sets.

Your daddy only warrants a maybe?!

 

[soozie]

candace is so pretty
ill skip 3.0 but i might pull in 3.1 for cyno, just have to wait to see his kit first cause im not the biggest fan of electro

Zhongli is daddy, so mayyyyyyyyybe I'll try for him. But nobody who really jumps out to me in the upcoming sets.

if you dont like to dodge enemies, zhongli is a perfect choice, 100% recommended
i dont even bother to dodge anything with him in my party, just shield up all the time and go ham with attacks

You people are the reason why they made Riftwolves!!!!! Lazy!!

As a Zhongli and Kokomi haver, Riftwolves are my best friends
Why care about taking damage/corrosion if I have a 49K HP heal-bot

 

[Seriously]

Because he is but ONE daddy, when I want MANY mommies.

 

[Polaris_Tae]

Welp, there goes my primos again. Honestly not sure who I want anymore.
Nilou looks great, but running her in a niche team with no form of cc looks like it'll be challenging.

Cyno looks great too, and reminds me of a character the I like playing from another game (Camu from pgr), plus, an electro dps is the only thing I'm missing from my account (since I refuse to build Raiden as anything more than a support/enabler). I can only afford to get one of them if I want to be able to afford Al-Haitham, Baizhu & Ayato re-run

 

[Polaris_Tae]

So I guess I'm getting Cyno now.
Nilou probably won't be that great until there are more dendro supports since her team will likely steal all of the current ones available, so I guess I'll do with her what I did with Yoimiya and save for her re-run instead hoping she gets better supports later.


Officially finished pre-farming for Cyno today! saved a lot of fragiles/condensed for 3.0 He looks super fun & thankfully, doesn't steal Kazu/Bennett so I can use Childe International/Ayato comps on the other side of abyss without any issues. Not looking forward to beetle farming again in 3.1. I'm getting war flashbacks from Heizou & Itto farming.

 

[Polaris_Tae]

I guess I finally beat the game

The game gave me a nice dendro goblet too. Electro goblet when...

 

[Seriously]

When your first 5*, is a Qiqi...

 

[Seriously]

The Aranara are my children, and I would kill for them

 

[Polaris_Tae]

oh my god, wtf. I've had this at + 0 for five months. New Beidou piece!
I finally have two full emblem sets. One for Yelan and one for Beidou.
Now that Beidou's built, it'll be three full weeks of Cyno waiting before I get to use them together.
