Dori is kinda cool because I'm into Arabian stuff, and I'm obligated to be interested in Tighnari because of the actual Sumerian clothing (so rarely brought up in movies or games).

I'm way, way into Bronze/Iron Age Mesopotamian history.

Dori looks so annoying

I really like her eyes.

I didn't care for Xandir on Drawn Together

So...

Tighnari: Sumerian / Akkadian / Babylonian (Mesopotamian)
Dehya / Cyno: Egyptian
Nahida (Kusanali): Either a Djinn or not middle eastern influenced
Dori / Alhaytham: Arabian
Collei: Persian (with Western European influences)

Nilou looks so freakin cute. Hope the gameplay goes all in into "blade dancer" type gameplay: fast-paced, lots of movements, wide area spin attacks!

Then again my best-case scenario is Nilou ends up a HP% group buffer and also Hydro Damage group buffer. That would make the following mono hydro team a beast:
Kokomi, Yelan, Xingqiu, Nilou (alternatively replace Xingqiu with a very fast element applier for reactions).

I wonder what the theme the artist was going for while designing Nilou. Demon + Priestess + Dancer?

I really can't stand any of their designs. I guess saving for C6 Yae will be easier than I thought

Hoyo will butcher everything as usual.

Not that I have any primogems to speak of.

Yeah C6 Yelan drained me lmao

Dark skinned NPCs in Sumeru.

And apparently a dark-skinned Cicin Mage or Mirror Maiden type enemy?

EDIT:
Oh god, Ruin Gargoyle enemy. As if we needed more flying unpullable bullshit enemies.

My prediction: Heizou is Kazuha

Mihoyo can't have you just sitting on your wallet because you have Venti, now can they?

Cookie Shinobi has been built. It is done.

Level 80 is not done for units that scale on HP and EM

It is once you've used her and realize that she just doesn't work

Yeah second Ayaka pic is a fanart not a leak.

Nilou is so goddamn cute, Kokomi got some competition but Imma run both! So I must get her too. inb4 JCoconut calls me a p slave again :p

Coconut still posts on the Genshin board? That... individual thankfully put me on block a while ago for suggesting that one of his theories might be wrong. As it turns out, he was right and they never did add the other four star characters to the monthly shop rotation for purchase with glitter, but he was pretty damn triggered that I even suggested they might. lol

lol

that ayaka outfit is gonna make me build ayaka

So I've got 30 Intertwined Fates saved up (will probably have around 40 by 2.8). Trying to decide if I wanna go for Heizou and maybe nab Kazuha C1, or just keep saving and get a likely guaranteed Yoimiya, who I don't have.

Ah, thanks.

Speaking of new characters I've got like 150 purple XP books and 250 blue ones... haven't felt this stacked in a while, and I have nobody to spend them on after it became increasingly apparent that Kuki ain't all that and a bag of PO TA TO chips

I try to keep a stock of 400 purples and 12 million mora at all times in case a character strikes my fancy.

*laughs in 1200 purple and 800 blue books, as well as 29 million mora*

*cries when he looks at the fact that he has only five limited 5-star characters, all at c0, and realizes that he has a stockpile because he has nothing worth spending it on*

Why aren't you upgrading them?

They lost 50:50 everytime and might pissed off.

*shrug*

I never really understand people who get so precious about which characters they use that there is a huge chunk of the roster that they won't even touch. Trying out different characters and combinations are what makes this game fun if you ask me. Even my least favorite characters, like Chong or Klee... I'd still upgrade them if I had that many materials left over and no one to give them to.

Yes, Ive lost every 50/50. That said, my roster is at least level 70 with only two exceptions.* I even leveled Ally to max ascension trying to see if I could make use of her.

I tend to stockpile resources in resource-driven games because I never know when theyll come in handy. I expect to go through quite a few books very soon since I plan on pulling for Kaz and Heizou. Since Im not on guarantee, Im hoping that maybe, just maybe, Jean will spook me when I inevitably lose another 50/50, which would complete my collection of standard five-stars.

* to clarify, all of my five-stars are max ascended

I have discovered a truly ridiculous team comp

Hah. Got good signs today. Didn't know you could ruin them. Killed the pigeons and burned the dead leaves. Paimons dialog for that was great.

"Why do you hate pigeons so much?" Lol

Ah yes, my favorite commission. I smile every time it comes up.

At this rate I don't think Zhihua is ever going to find love.

Also the fact that you just straight up tell him what you did is evil lol

"Yes, I found your sign. And then I DESTROYED IT."

"Why"

*glares*

Theres an achievement for getting all the signs and another for ruining all the signs.

Oh well that's gonna take a year

Yep. I have one of those. And I'm never gonna get the other one.

I was going to try for it while finishing up Ring of Raining Blades. Once I discovered that it was bugged, I said fuck it and went back to Mondstadt.

There's new leaks of Childe talking about all the harbingers

Tldr: He doesn't like any of them except for one that takes care of his family lol

Another interesting thing was that he confirmed is that harbinger ranks are dependent on strength and not by the order they joined.

EDIT: Apparently strength means overall status, like how much money someone has or political power, not just how good they are in a fight

For C6 Ganyu, which of these sets looks better?

Wanderer's:

Shimenawa's:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/9/1/AAeEwGAADbh3.jpg

This is primarily in a freeze comp, btw.

Shimenawa's will usually be up since she's C6 and incentivized to use her E.

Heizou looks fun as hell. And that music was a banger.

Anemo is such a cool element for a bruiser style. If there are elements flying around he could be whirlin' and swirlin'.

Xiao's swirls, which are technically negligible in terms of DPS, sure feel satisfying.

I wonder how long itll take for somebody to make a meme healer build with him like they did with Ningguang

Holy freaking moly batman

Amazingly got good signs again today. How do you ruin the granny one? I tried everything.
