okay, first let's talk about my main account and what characters I have rn
overall I really like where it is so I've skipped this patch to save for Albedo. I have 15k and 22 fates, and I'll have more thanks to welkin moon, so by my calculations I should have enough for the manlet even if I lose the 50/50
after his rerun, all that's left (IF there's left) will be poured on Itto + Gorou. I want to do the mono geo. I want to go unga bunga rock
after that... c1 Xiao and PJWS would be nice.......
this account isn't as lucky as my second but I do appreciate that I get a lot of early 5* especially after losing 50/50s. I hope I can win Albedo's tho, it's been ages since I've won one
(the Qiqi count is wrong, the app couldn't retrieve my earlier pulls)
anyway, now to my American account, the ultimate f2p btw bastard. that one has never lost a 50/50 since I started it on March. all the standard 5* are from standard banner. disgusting
and sure enough. I gathered enough primos the last couple of days to do 2 10-pulls on Hu Tao+Thoma's banner. my pity was 60. I got c1 Thoma and a fav lance for free. then I bought 3 wishes with starglitter and then. it never fucking fails, I should never doubt its bastard luck
look at that. 3 archons, Kazuha, 2 hyper carry DPS. that account is
set
that account is also the one where I experiment with different builds or use characters that I don't have/can't build on main. I've been using budget DPS Kazuha and Ningguang as co-DPS on a geo-anemo team and they SLAP
but yeah, even I hate this luck. it's disgusting
so plans: on American f2p just slowly building Hu Tao and her team. I have to explore Tsurumi because I have no mushrooms for Thoma anyway. Xingqiu needs more ER because he struggles to charge his Q, and that's bad for A-Tao
on main I've been giving love to my supports on this dead time. I want to crown Benny's Q and maybe one of Kazuha's later. but rn I'm farming the mats for Albedo. not doing weapon or artifacts tho, because according to leaks he'll have a new free sword and a new def set so lol
they're buffing the shit out of the man hahaha
just geo cube punching and talent books are enough work anyway. then back to Benny and Xiangling and Xingqiu
ah btw! I managed to get an Unforged for my son Razor during Raiden's weapon banner. his artifacts still suck but he's become a strong boy
so yeah, I've been pampering my 4* DPS peeps as well
also ngl Hu Tao has been slapping already at lv 70 with half of her artifacts not leveled. it's so tempting to pull for her on main but NO. I MUST STAY STRONG FOR THE GEODUDES
the weird little blond man and I have a beef. he was my first lost 50/50. I'm dragging him home this time by the half ponytail braid
i feel u on the never having lost a pity ever im not sure how it happens
but i wish u all the luck on little mad scientist
i have to build up my stuff again...unless i want a c1 thoma which would honestly be nice
and Itto is more my style than Hu Tao too (my style is punching things in the face repeatedly for a long period of time OR unleash a clusterfuck that ticks pain several times)
xardogn: thanks! I heard it's a nice cons to have. banners are weird with 4* tho. you even get a million of them or you don't get enough
I'll keep pulling on the banner at least until/if I get Sayu. then idk if trying bastard luck on weapon banner
yeah....it likes giving me new characters and then a c4 diona whom i dont really use
I wouldn't be mad on getting an elegy (I'm a Venti simp and he's support build here) or a random weapon. but I'm f2p and too lazy to do exploration AGAIN
but anything that reduces thoma's cooldown would be nice! he's fun to mess around as even if i DID almost kill him
it is...useless to me.....
but anyway, it does seem like Thoma gets better with every cons. his c4 and c6 are apparently really good?
cries.......i want more malewife....
me, running around inazuma with a lvl 51 thoma: there is no way this can go wrong
lol. I'm sending you my good vibes for more Tomato constellations
ive almost typoed staff of homa as staff of thoma too
and ffff plurk mobile not showing me all comments. I would've given you my Yanfei constellations for sure and maybe my skyward atlas. I got her c6 and every standard 5* book on the one account where I don't build her
the fandom has been calling it staff of Thoma for a month now lol
also sadness that a 4* character finally buffs plunge attacks and I can't even get him on the account where I main Xiao
oh well, his dad-boss got his back
i got her c3 but more would be nice crey i use her a lot
i do actually have a skyward pride but im not sure who to give it to, b/c i have razor, but also want to level beidou and chongyun
her c4 is quite comfy. even if we both run her with dad shields, it's good to have a liddol extra layer
i did finally put childe up with barbara, zhongli, and thoma buff it made me laugh
can also confirm thoma's fiery collapse buff works with childe's elemental skill so im just
skyward pride is ER, right? I think it might be better on Beidou or Chong so they can spam their ults more, especially pirate mom. for Razor only the extra atk would be good, he has no energy problems
i have FEESH on razor so i might stick it on beidou and give chongyun the favonius greatsword
if i fuck with it more childe looks like he gets a very easy vaporize reaction. also it looks cool and is very fun
does the little tuna thing proc with Razor? I heard it doesn't
its real hard to see but at the beginning of his elemental burst
obscured by giant fucking wolf
incidentally, I'm so angry at the fish because I took it to 90 for Itto, and then it turns out he scales on def and doesn't proc elemental burst dmg
god i wish i could give him fish anyway it would be funny
i havent seen if it procs more than once but it definitely does at the first time his burst hits
I'll have to forge a WHITEBLIND when I have a r5 fish and a r4 archaic
itto likes causing problems
just good claymores rotting there
also partly why im like 'you know i should level beidou and chongyun b/c razor needs an electro friend'
chongyun is good ice support for kaeya, even if zhongli never leaves my party ever
sadly, putting Chongus and Razor together works BAD. because Yunyun infused phys with cryo and it fucks Puppy up
but Yunyun is great with other cryos, yup
I should test Beidou and Razor together one day. I need to build her artifacts first
at least Chongyun can get the fish and the prototype if I ever build him. my boy why did you come home so late
yeah yunyun will be kaeyas friend
he's c5 b/c he REALLY like s me
beidou will be razor's momo
i also got benny's c1 because he deserves only the best
might get c2 from the shop
good, she likes white-haired red-eyed boys who like to talk about your smell
rfsdkdsjkflsdlksldskldfalks
razor is a good feral wolfboy, like kazuha
beidou and razor would be cute tho....
they're best boys. only in the opposite sides of the speech spectrum
kazuha: speaks entirely in haiku
razor: grunt
I like that Beidou adopted Xinyan. she really likes musical kids with red streaks and the same brown-red-beige color scheme in their clothes
i also think childe and razor would be cute if they interacted like imagining childe teaching him how to read
beidou and her fleet of children
she should adopt one or two of each country
imagining razor on a ship tho
has already 2 Liyue girls and 1 Inazuman boy. Razor has no mom. Fischl already has an eyepatch and a parrot
let him come back with a fish in his mouth. he caught it for you
does kaeya get to join he has an eyepatch too
Fischl is legit good battery for Beidou
his grandfather was a pirate, he will remind them constantly
god i want to punch him in the face
didnt know khaner'ih had pirates u little shit
i do need him to meet albedo
I mean, they already know each other in canon, being captains in the knights and also they were in the archipelago together. lovely to see Alberto trolling the troll
just leaving him stranded with Diluc, he just peaced out on his elevator
dunno if you were there for that event but yeah
the three were stranded in an island and Albedo just left those two arguing together
Kaeya trying to ice bridge and Diluc accidentally melting it
oh, and Kaeya's line about Albedo is really gay: "Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He's the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?"
no i wasnt oh my god sklfjsdlkfjdslklsdkfd
OH RIGHT that line too kaeya your gay is showing
my question is do they Know, or is it just something the deign to not discuss ever
that's what we all want to know 🤔
also, does Kaeya know who Venti is?
but yeah, do watch the golden archipelago cutscenes on youtube, it's a trip of an event
at some point they give us the mental image of Kaeya, Diluc, Albedo, and fucking Razor flying on Dvalin's back
aksjfdlkfjsd that sounds amazing
imagining kaeya and albedo looking at each other in their diamond pupiled eyes like 'okay yeah. lets just not bring this up. cool?'
because Klee is there and needs help and burny girl is lupical
i think kaeya would have suspicions but no solid proof
like they say in my native language, "I have no proof but I have no doubt either"
both Windblume and Golden Apple are great events for Kaeya content. no, they give no new lore crumbs on him, it's just him vibing and annoying people
so recommended to watch them. both also have Razor so the more reason
and Venti too but that's my bias
i love kaeya just vibing and being a menace even if i need to know more
but yes that saying fits him perfectly
still want zhongli to visit mondstadt and immediately get arrested b/c he forgot to pay at angels share
Venti: he's my friend!
Diluc: are you paying his bill?
Venti: nope
Zhongli:
Diluc: didn't think so
im glad that this game drives home that every single archon is a loser
traveller finds zhongli and venti in jail later and zhongli's complaining about the prison food
Traveler: let me guess, you don't have mora
Ei: people still use motra?
i like how traveller was like 'either' and she was 'wait what do you mean either'
ei did sequester herself off for hundreds of years, zhonglis just fucking stupid
what do you mean the other archons don't get everything delivered at home with amazon prime?
cut to venti passed out in an alley
considering Zhongli is basically god of commerce, it's even funnier he forgot the most important part of the transaction
yeah i mean thats honestly the best part
and he forgets that its a thing
he's the incarnation of the "it's only a banana, Michael" meme
'what could it cost, 8 bucks'
god he's so stupid i didnt know anyone could be simotaneoulsy rich and poor at the same time but he managed it
still need to draw me a meme of 'mora can be exchanged for goods and services' and its just math gif zhongli
the irony is that Venti is the one more in touch with commercial transactions of the three, and he steals food and booze from Diluc's mansion anyway
that's just b/c he's a rat bastard
zhongli gets lost in his own fucking city he helped build
that's because he asks to be paid in wine when he works, because it's the only way they can sell him without an ID
YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CHOSE TO LOOK 12 YOU Loser
tho i havent actually done his story yet
27 hundred years ago, no one asked for ID cards at bars. he had to invent wine and teach them
also thinkin about how hu tao basically probably rents out zhongli to ppl so she can pay bills
the funniest part about Zhongli is that he had so much mora he built a house of it because it was easier than using wood or whatever
'here do you need a wierdly knowledgeable himbo? boy have i got the deal for you'
like, in ancient times. not now. he doesn't live in a mora house
where does he even live... does he crash on the funeral parlor's couch?
yeah i figured but god why the fuck is he so stupid how do people respect him
i respect him b/c he's hot
maybe he has his own teapot
but yeah, on his first character quest, a bunch of historians are arguing that story about the house made of mora and the secret meaning and magic properties of mora, and Zhongli is like
tbh madame ping probably gave him one b/c he's pathetic
"maybe Rex Lapis built it out of mora because that's what he had"
historians: shut up, of course not
traveller, knowing exactly who zhongli was: are you kidding me
traveler: looks at the camera
yeah, that's exactly how it pans out
i think i got past that part at least, ive just been saving his for last, searching for shit in the stone forest right now
this is all your own doing, morax.
'rex lapis is so majestic and amazing' zhongli: i havent eaten in 3 days
and had to get a harbinger to pay for my dinenr
did 12 pulls on my main account to see if I could get Thoma or c1 Sayu, because I'm stupid and I never learn. welcome c3646 Diona and c3647 Diona
no more, I'm keeping strong for Albedo
oh no...thoma dont be mean
otoh since I don't have A-Tao or Tortellini on my main account, I'm not really in a hurry to get him as I won't play him over there. he'll just become a very pretty teapot resident like Sara
someone needs to play with my dogs and cats and hog and crane while I'm running around
i put him in my teapot and one of his lines of dialogue mentions he patted tubby on the head when he came in and hopes she's not a god b/c then he'll Die
also i think he's like either interested or scared of youkai
I read his voice lines when they were leaked and he loves youkai and ninja
that's why I say he'd be a Naruto fanboy in a modern AU
he's dumb and cute i hate him
god i need to see what his line about itto is but i dont have friendship lvl 4
I love youkai lore. I have a lot of ebooks that I should read but I'm so lazy
oh my god he DOES want to meet him
and yeah some youkai know about but i really enjoyed the manga series mushishi it touched on some of the supernatural stories and everything
also 'has youkai heritage' dude has real horns
Mushishi is one of my favorite manganime series
it made me cry and creeped me out but i loved it
imagine thoma being a fanboy of itto. itto would LOVE it
lol yeah. he even has a ninja sidekick
but the real question is, does Thoma know Gorou? and how badly does he want to pet him but can't because this is a whole ass person despite the doggo ears and tail?
i think he at least knows of him from the traveller telling him
but god would he want to pet gorou
thoma in the back repeating to himself: do not cause a diplomatic incident DO NOT CAUSE A DIPLOMATIC INCIDENT
brain is in love thoma mode rn apparently
interesting that Thoma did know Kazuha's boyfriend. considering he was a cat lover too
fuck, now I wonder if Thoma's the one who has been taking care of the dude's white kitty, like one of the many strays he feeds
he just wants to naruto run, Sayu
you're so stupid sometimes
i also like how he is in hiding b/c on the run from the literal fucking shogun and like 2 seconds into it he's 'im bored'
;also one of his chest lines is 'finders keepers :3c
he must've cleaned the teahouse 3458435 times. now what
pet taromaru and read some light novels god
my first abyss party is literally this meme
plurk wont let me respond to this apparently
i think my most frequent overworld team is zhongli driving, barbara in the front seat, yanfei sulking and kaeya going nuts
he's drunk dont bother him
which applies to both of them really
also oh man domain likes thoma, gave me some good artifacts for him
what set(s) are you using to build him?
or are you just mixmatching?
im sort of mixmatching, but i did manage to get two emblem of severed fate for him so his energy recharge is a lot better for burst
awesome! I think I'll put 2 tenacity and 2 emblem
he has wandering troupe bonus b/c those are just my best hp boost artifacts but im wondering if him like 100+ elemental mastery helps him with his fiery collapse damage
YEAH i got a 5 star emblem with hp% and was just
since he also needs a lot of HP
yeah he's gotten a lot of zhongli's old stuff
it's cool when you can give HP and def shit to someone
and i even got a good one for mona in the meantime, but yeah im sort of trying to hybid him for fiery collapse funtimes and also shield updtime like with zhongli
now watch me not getting any def artifact on the upcoming def/geo set
would it be elemental mastery t hat does the reactions?
ALSO i pulled a c1 thoma so im gonna just save maybe for weapons and itto now b/c that will help with his cooldown
also brb im gonna see what bennett/mona/childe does to this fuckin cube
yeah. c2 is also good but I understand. I had to stop persuing c6 Ningguang
yeah, he's gonna be permenant so i must be strong
and at first i didn't notice the difference with bennett but i also realized i should....use childe's melee burst.....bennett really helps with gettin energy back tho
ah I can't really say much about that since I don't have Childe
but you have to use Benny's Q before the big pp damage
so it's usually a good idea to wait until both the damage dealer and Benny and anyone with important ults have them all up at once, and then do it in the right order
yeah that is what i did b/c ive def made that mistake before ksjflsjdk
though maybe i switched out too fast, but his melee burst did a ton more damage
either way its still pretty great the only problem its way easier to hit the cube with barbara to take down the shield
im not good at attacking with mona i dont think....
Mona's kinda tricky to use yeah
My pre-farming for Albedo is done. 523 hero's wits, 180 cecilias, 47 basalt pillars, 94/47/10/6 topaz, enough ballad books for lv. 2/8/8 talents, 16 tusks of monoceros... pspsps Herr Kreideprinz
jsdklfjdslfkjsdlsd christ
tbf a lot of this shit I had already, like the xp books and the topaz (I haven't ascended any geos since Zhongli). the big farming here was a week and a half of cube whacking and Mondstadt talent domain hell
i eat through exp books like crazy so im impressed
still have to recover cor lapis stocks for chongyun tho
the secret is these events called ley line overflow. when those happen, I stock on books and mora for the future (the mora evaporates quickly though)
there's one this patch so take advantage of that for the entire week!
planning ahead? what's that?
im eating through a lot of them b/c im trying to level like 7 different characters up
me: okay ill focus on yanfei and razor since they are my next main dps after kaeya
game, giving me childe and thoma: hello
me on my American account when I got a sudden Eula
if I get around to cosplaying Thoma I will bring a mop with him
staff of Thoma, if you will
plz make a spear that's just a mop mihoyo
that gave me Tales Of flashbacks
pretty sure at least there was a mop on Abyss
I'M IN PAIN
took me to 76 pity and it gives me the only skyward I don't need
idek who to put this on, I have all 4* gacha ER claymores leveled up and I don't use them all that much. maybe Sayu or Beidou. Diluc unfortunately can't use it because he's using a crit dmg wep and his build goes to shit if I take it off
I'm now inhaling hopium and praying that it's great on Itto. he does have an expensive ult, maybe it can be good to spam his shit up
for the record this is my third 5* on standard and it ALWAYS takes me to soft pity, so it'll be months since I'll get something new from there
I was really hoping for a 5* polearm or a sword, especially primordial jade-winged spear for my lovely boy Xiao
Jean would've been cool too
oh well
at least it wasn't an amos bow. I have no characters good with that one
me with the elegy of the end i just got
at least it'll be good if you ever get/build a character who can use it. sucks when it's a 5* only one character can use
I have like 3 rusts in one account and no bow DPS
ill take them.....ill trade for elegy even
but yeah i know that feel
i heard gorou is a support archer maybe hed be good with it if he ever comes
if it's an energy recharge bow I think it should do great
i think it is? but i dont remember off the top of my head
also i have 220 er on thoma now and he does much better
I wouldn't mind getting elegy on my American account for Venti and Diona tbh
so yeah if i have a non dps bow user i want to use i can stick it on them. rn its only childe and aloy as bows
but yeah he still performs well with someone like bennett who can generate a ton of particles, i think a battery is the right term?
but that gives him enough energy he's slapping up his ult a lot
also found he works EXCELLENT with kaeya for that reason too
been using that team + grandpa supervising to make sure no one dies in the emblem of severed fate dungeon and its grea
ive also been lucky but also stacking a lot of em on thoma too for his vape or melt reactions with the dps im pairing him with and idk it seems to be doin some pretty fun damage
I'm considering building him for my Hu Tao team so I'm able to swirl with Kazuha and I can put Zhongli with my other DPS
yeah kaeya and bennett give him lots of particles (and benny's buff), thoma activates his shield and his fiery collapse, switch to kaeya b/c he probably hs his ult up now and just go to town
but first I need to actually do Tsurumi island to get mushrooms
zhongli is also there for extra shield and to nuke anything left
but that also sounds like a cool idea
i havent tested how his shield stands up when zhongli isn't on the team...but im also liek the person who doesnt dodge so
sadly I shouldn't use Benny on the same team since he'd heal Hu Tao too much and I ran out of space for characters
normally it's Hu Tao + Xingqiu + shielder + anything else
yeah for her stuff since it relies on losing health he'd probably not be the best
I liked the idea of Kazuha because he gives elemental dmg bonus and also he destroys the mobs already
me when fighting the cube mostly with childe and mona: barbara's there for moral support
(also she heals me when i realize that zhonglis shield ran out)
yeah i mean im biased and never take grandpa off my team when i can, but his sheild and his burst damage just annhialates everything
...man, now I'm thinking that skyward blade would've been good on Eula but it's the wrong account
Zhong is a luxury of a guy
right now i have my prototype starglitter on thoma b/c it was zhonglis old spear but im tryin to level the favonius lance for him
whenever I use a team without him I'm flailing a lot
'i will have order' /everything explodes into a shower of mora and particles
zhongli did like....1/4 damage to the cube on his own.......i may have made him too power
fun story, but in my main account it took me like 10 months to get a fav lance. I had one starglitter that passed down every polearm user like a family heirloom
now it's on Xiangling because I have no resources to build her a dragon's bane
hoping that i can get thoma in a balence enough i can sort of use him as hybrid shield and
i dont even know how i somehow got 3 but i was like 'oh this is a good weapon for thoma time to build it now i guess'
but he's got zhongs old hand me down
it is. mine has a lv 70 one I had around (to my main account's envy)
I actually had to PULL ON A WEAPON BANNER to get one favonius lance on main
i pulled all my favonius lances back when i didn't reallly need them so i got lucky
ngl I'm sad that my new "shitty" skyward wasn't a spine. I wanted either primordial for Xiao or skyward for Zhongli
meanwhile on main I keep pulling stringless when Venti has a skyward harp and I stopped using Fischl
i did randomly pull a skyward pride and its on beidou now b/c this event has made me realize i desperately need another electro besides razor the good boy
that claymore is awesome on Beidou. I just can't afford to finish building her rn
it's not bad on Razor either but mine has the unforged (again, from that time on weapon banner) and it's worse
he's keeping the minecraft sword
Razor don't eat your claymore
but yeah, really really hoping pride is better than whiteblind on Itto
but yeah im gonna try and enlist the help of my friend b/c i cannot beat the event boss.......
if i get an itto he gets whatever shit i have
I want to use all my 5* weapons considering I ONLY HAVE 3
I'm still made the feesh is bad on Itto
i wish the debate club was a better weapon i love it
people leaked the Eula banner a few hours before the livestream and I cried BLOOD. because I'll have to skip her if I want both Albedo and Itto
it's fine...... I can play her whenever on American account................ there'll be more DPS reruns...............
now let's hope I don't succumb to hypnotic thighs
this patch so bad for a bi claymore main like myself
and wow, they're really going there with Albedo, huh?
the surprise was the Eula/Amber date being cockblocked by the eccentric mad scientist co-worker going apeshit
and Benny being there. although it feels right because 1. I got him on the first Dragonspine event and he kept me safe 2. of course he'd be unlucky enough to be around that sort of crisis
incidentally, I just crowned Bennett's Q today
he's going with me to kick evilbedo's ass as intended
re: Itto, I'm impressed by the fact that his seiyuu is also the vocalist of TM Revolution. that brings my weeb ass back
he also opened his mouth in the JP trailer and he immediately referred to himself as "oresama" and I was like WHOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR
I've been saying he looked like an oresama type from his ego on the message board, and behold, I was right
I'm also officially done with Albedo prefarming. ascension mats are done, books for 2/8/8 talents are done, decarabians for his new weapon are done. he'll be raised to lv 81 on day one and then it's def artifact domain hell for days
on American account it's gonna be harder to choose what to do. I don't care about getting Itto there, and I'm not sure if I'll want Ganyu or Xiao or Shenhe there, but Albedo could be really good as a support. otoh I'm 100% sure they'll bring song of broken pines on weapon banner, and there's c1 Eula too
I think Albedo's safer for an f2p and I've been dealing with fish claymore real good, but that weapon would be so cool.......
apparently itto's english va is ryuuji from persona 5 which is kind of great
I heard! it suits him perfectly, Itto did sound like a Persona character on the trailer lol
yeah his voice suits him, so since I play in English I'm happy
I rly like the idea of his jp voice tho I want to find more mysic
I like 3 songs of him, let me look them up
that's from Rurouni Kenshin, Sengoku Bsara, and Soul Eater respectively
and I still have 15k saved up so that means I already have the primos for Itto. I can just relax, everything I get in this patch will go to 2.4
also, Thoma randomly came home in this banner so that was nice
hhhh I'm so happy the summons were awesome! I'll get my geodude team for sure
sadly I got c6 Bennett, the cursed constellation. I'll have to live with the red dot of doom
and of course husk domain is riffhound hell. luckily my Razor/Qiqi/Xingqiu/Zhongli comp have the advantage
anyway, I'm not saying that losing my first 50/50 on secondary let me win this 50/50 and restored my luck on main, but. sus
I'm still Jeanless but Diluc is fine too. again
aaaaa finally got my geo manlet tho
and geo himbo and geo puppy will come home
Shenhe who? it's rock season
