This new sword feels like a blatant, shameless attempt to make everyone want to roll for Albedo.

Well good job MiHoYo, because it totally worked on me. I had almost zero interest in him a week ago but now I'm going to spend all my rolls on his banner.

Giving boobs to what looks like a child is pretty weird.

She looks like a high school student.

That picture clearly says she's a high school student. Uniforms with ribbons and neckties like that would only be in high schools. A barrette and scrunchie like that would be perfectly common for a high school girl in Japan. The eyes are obviously exaggerated to convey childlike, innocent hope.

I've seen the datamines and yeah it's definitely >_>

That said since the original event was also temporary I don't think newer players will be missing much if they can't play either event. It's just a little tidbit of lore lost to time like the golden apple archipelago.

Yeah there's a lot of stuff like that.

I just think it's a shame that they don't make more of it available to future new players.

Holy shit though, this new event quest story has some real bombshells about Albedo... Kind of think it would be better not to put them in a temporary event quest that new players won't be able to see in the future though.

To MiHoYo's credit, they have done a surprisingly admirable job of fighting the urge to power creep characters - especially 5-star ones. The way they buffed Albedo with a much better set and weapon is a sign that they want five star characters to always have value and not make you feel ripped off.

They turned Tartaglia from mediocre to incredible by giving him Heart of Depth and several excellent bows.

Agree except for the part about Tartaglia ever being mediocre. He was always great due to the way his talents scaling off each other and hydro being so great for reactions in general. It's just that it took awhile for people to notice.

C6 Bennet is a massive downgrade

No it's not. The only character who is usually a downgrade on a C6 Bennett team is Eula. Everyone else can work great as long as you're smart about how you play. You may have to adjust your teams and skill rotations but if you do that, you should be able to get more DPS out of a Bennett team at C6 than at C5.

Dammit Mihoyo! Stop making so many polearm units!

TBF they're just making up for how few there were at the beginning of the game. In fact, if these two are the only new units for 2.4, I believe that will make the number of people for every weapon type about the same.

The original had some great space combat for its time.

Starfox 64 was good but didn't improve on the original much at all.

And then after that they seemed to just give up on giving us really great space combat and went with making a bunch of half-assed attempts where I don't know if the developers even knew what they were trying to make.

Oh yeah, I'm up all night to get lucky

Pretty much everyone on YouTube is saying don't pull on albedo, because he's not meta anymore. But looking at these new sets, and itto, and even Noelle with the new set and claymore, I think he's absolutely integral in running a Geo team.

That set alone is crazy - +30% DEF, then another +24% DEF and GEO DMG for off-field Geo users. It's basically custom made for him.

Is there a leak of the Eula one? Wondering who's on it.

Dragon's Bane (garbage? Might use on Xiangling)

The Catch is way better on her.

If Raiden is already using it, the Kitain cross spear is still better for Xiangling than that one in my opinion (especially if you have enough billets to refine it multiple times).

But Donkey Kong is just as much a Mario game as it is a DK one.

No I think they're different enough from each other and had enough impact independent of each other that they deserve to be considered separately.

DK was HUGE in the early 80s. That game essentially created the genre of "platformer" as we understand it, and this game, its sequels, and its spinoffs (of which Mario was one, let's not forget) basically created Nintendo as a gaming company. Without DK we may not even have any of the other ones.

I think Mario, Link, and Pikachu are the other three obvious choices because they all revolutionized the game industry in their own ways.

Samus and Kirby are both great and very popular but haven't had anywhere near the impact.

None of the other non-joke suggestions even come close.

If push comes to shove, you can always buy her C6 on the Starglitter store. She appears relatively frequently

If they follow the same schedule as they have been, she won't be in the store until February.

I think she almost definitely will be on one of the first two banners in the next update, though. She's way overdue.

The weird thing about Xingqiu is that he's just really fucking good in general. Even as a solo DPS. His swords do way too much damage, and they reduce the damage you take, and they heal you. It's crazy.

For fun, I tried equipping some Lavawalker artifacts I got while farming Crimson Witch and giving those to him while farming the Pyro Hypostasis. It made it ridiculously easy.

Once for shits and giggles I tried also using a heatshield potion and just laughed at its feeble attempts to hurt me. Then I let Xingqiu's burst rip and destroyed it.

I mean, C1 is currently the best single target DPS in the game and by a rather large margin. Build the Tao now for maximum kapow.

Eh, I don't really need the kapow. I'm just focusing on characters that I enjoy for the moment.

Glad to know that she's there for me to build up when I want to though.

I'm actually happier about the Sayu constellation TBH. She's one of my fave, most used characters right now and I don't really need another pyro DPS right now.

Not that I'm complaining of course. I'll just collect my free wish and put her on the back burner to work on after I build up all the other characters I'm building right now.

I like how Albedo makes it absolutely clear that he sees through their bullshit.

Yeah it clearly is a "they love each other but have to bicker and act like they hate each other" relationship but Kaeya is way more self-aware. Diluc has this macho need to act aloof and never open up to emotional vulnerability. Kaeya sees through this so he's just going to keep playing it and ramp it up to absurd levels, just to see how far Diluc is willing to go.

It's basically Diluc being clowned by Kaeya and Albedo loves watching it.

I really want a whole event where Diluc and Kaeya are the only playable characters and they're forced to work together to escape some kind of impossible trap, and it's literally nothing but bickering and Diluc's barely-held-together irritation the whole way.

And Kaeya's obnoxious smugness never changes.

I used to hate Kaeya's smug "Look how mysterious and enigmatic I am" shtick but once I realized it was all just one big elaborate troll of Diluc, I loved it.

A pole is a pole bro, it counts.

It's kind of amazing how mediocre that weapon is for a five-star. I have one on my Zhongli.

Well it's not really built for him.

The problem is that the secondary stat and passive just have bad synergy. There's no polearm user who would significantly benefit from both EM and a physical damage "vacuum blade."

20 pulls so far

Just got a favonius sword and a Diona.

So now Bennett's sword is R3 and Diona is C4. Not bad.

I think my next ten pulls should give me a Hu Tao.

I have 103 pulls. The simulator seems to think the odds are ever in my favor.

If you have enough to make soft pity, your odds of getting the banner character are automatically better than 50%. Think about it: you have a 50% chance of getting her when you hit pity, which means it must be at least 50%. But there is also a nonzero chance that you will get really lucky and pull two 5 stars.

If 103 is the number of pulls you have right now, combined with the free ones you will be able to get from events, daily logins, and the Abyss (plus the bonus BP rewards which I assume you will pay for), you should get well over 150 pulls total.

That means your odds of getting her are close to 100%.

You know, at first I was pretty mad that I lost basically every 50/50 when going for C6 Tartaglia, but in retrospect every single one of them was Mona, and C6 Mona has rapidly become one of my favorite characters.

That's a lot like me, only I got Jean on the Venti rerun, Zhongli rerun, and now the Childe rerun. It's hard to complain about "losing" when it meant getting my favorite character to C4.
