Aether - "Mysterious Adeptus, Sky Weaver"

🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.

In which the Traveler and Paimon unknowingly come across a mysterious adeptus by the name of Sky Weaver while the two are exploring near the sparsely populated cliffsides of Mt. Mingyuan. Or; In which the long-forgotten tale of the adeptus Sky Weaver is uncovered by Aether from the lips of the various Adepti of the Nation of Liyue and the people who know them.

“Now that we've helped Fujin tend to the soil, Paimon has noticed that it's a lot prettier in Chenyu Vale.”  

The floating fairy-like creature chirps as she hovers along the dirt path by her blonde companion's side.

“Speaking of prettier things. Traveler, did you notice that the sky here in Chenyu Vale is much different from the skies in the rest of Liyue?”

The golden blonde next to her stops and turns his gaze onto her, raising a brow of skepticism. His eyes then raise to the darkened sky that hangs above them and take in the sight.

What Paimon said was true. The sky truly was different from the rest of Liyue and any other region that the two had visited so far. As it was night, the sky was a deep midnight blue with swirls of violet and turquoise that seemed to glow from within the cotton-like clouds that partially obscured and circled the shining white moon. Stars speckle the suspended landscape of night haphazardly, their droplets of white add an almost otherworldly quality to the already ethereal scene. And, of course, the faded silhouette of Celestia looms ominously in the distance, creeping north ever so slowly. It truly was unlike anything that Aether had ever seen before.

“That's–… how did I never notice it.”

The golden blonde mumbles as he looks up in wonder and amazement, but also confusion. 

Why was the sky in Chenyu Vale so drastically different from anywhere else? What was so different about this place? How was the sky this way in the first place? It was strange; like the sky was altered by something to be this way, and although Aether wanted to think that something like that was impossible, his expectations have been demolished and rebuilt countless times since he descended into Teyvat.

The small bob-haired fairy floated in front of his face and waved her arms about to attract his attention.

“Hey, if you're curious about the sky, why don't we head back to Yilong Wharf and ask the locals about it? Maybe if we're lucky we'll run into Cloud Retai– uhm… Xianyun again; she might know too!” 

Paimon suggests before turning and floating further down the dirt road toward their new destination.

“Hm.”  

Aether hums, giving a curt nod as he follows his guide back to the wharf.

“Uuugh! Paimon is so tired! Why is Chiwang Terrace so far from here anyway!? It's already daytime!”  

Paimon whines as she slowly floats along with her blonde companion at a snail's pace in a slumped-over position.

“How about we head over to Jiulue Teahouse? We can sit down and eat some of the local dishes then we can start asking around.”  

The outlander chuckles softly as he reaches over and pats the floating girl on the head in sympathy before grabbing her and carefully holding her under his arm. Paimon only sighs and gives her friend a nod as she's carried off in the direction of the teahouse. 

On their way over to one of the nearby stalls, Aether spots a storyteller on the outside stage; maybe this storyteller has a few tales about the skies here. Though, after a short deliberation, he lets his floating companion go and buy food for the two of them while he goes and speaks to the storyteller; with a reasonable allowance, lest the girl buy out the stall's entire stock and empty his mora pouch.

Once the two part ways, the golden blonde sees the older man leaving off the stage, seemingly emptied of his arsenal of tall tales. So he waves the man, who he learns is named Jiewu going by the nearby chatter of patrons, down.

“Excuse me! I know that you just got off the stage, but I was wondering if you had any stories about the skies of Chenyu Vale?”  

He asked straightforwardly; getting a comical sweat drop from the older man at his bluntness.

Jiewu mutters a bit as he pinches his chin between his thumb and forefinger; his crow's feet becoming more pronounced as he squints his eyes in thought. The older man takes a glance up at the magnificent sky with a bland expression, as if it were the most mundane thing that he'd ever seen before. It was almost as if he didn't notice anything significant at all. Strange.

“I can't say I have any stories about the sky, young man. I've no clue why you're interested in something like that, there's nothing very spectacular about the sky.”  

Jiewu confusedly drones out; raising a thick brow at the blonde and taking another glance at the sky above.

“Was there anything else you needed, young man? If I'm not home soon, my wife will have a fit”  

The older man asks in a still polite but slightly rushed tone, making it clear that he wanted the conversation to end quickly.

Aether only shakes his head and allows the man to take his leave. Turning around, he sees Paimon floating toward him with bagged food in hand and an annoyed expression on her face. He raises a brow at her, silently asking what was wrong.

“Paimon asked the stall owner about the sky while waiting for the food, but he only looked at Paimon with a weird face and said ‘there's nothing really special about the sky, is there?’. And the other people Paimon asked said something similar!”  

The floating girl loudly complains before digging her hands into the bag, pulling out a skewer of food and angrily chomping on it; letting out muffled mumbles about giving the stall owner an ugly nickname.

Aether only sighs as he motions for his fairy-like companion to follow him.

Their next stop: Mt. Mingyuan!

As the traveler scaled the cliffs of Mt. Mingyuan, he kept hearing the sound of a paper bag rustling and the unmistakable munching of food. A metaphorical vein bulged out on his temple as he whipped his head around to look at his floating guide.

“You— Paimon, give me the bag! If you eat everything again, I swear I'll feed you to a cryo slime!”  

Aether growled as he recklessly took one hand off the cliffside to swipe at the bag in Paimon's hands, the girl dodging every time.

Unfortunately, all the wild movements made him lose his foothold in the cliffside and sent him plummeting towards the ground below. In too much shock to deploy his wind glider, all the golden blonde could do was stare upwards at the screaming Paimon who too was frozen in fear. 

But then… on the wind, he heard a faint whisper of droplets landing on the surface of water…

From beneath him, Aether felt a soft embrace pushing him upwards; the quiet sounds of shifting waters made him look back. What he could only describe was a small cloud of heavy mist with a ring of water swirling around it. The strange cloud lifted him, and Paimon when it reached the height she was at, up and over the cliffside, where it then came to a stop and seemingly patiently waited for him to get off. 

The golden blonde shakily stumbled off of the helpful cloud and fell on his bottom on the grassy cliff top. His heart beat erratically and his whole body trembled as the adrenaline finally caught up with him. He didn't even register the tearful apologies of his floating friend as she hugged him and sobbed into his chest.

“...One did not think that mortals had become so foolish over such a short time…”  

A gentle voice softly whispered from a place that Aether couldn't locate.

“...You shall consider yourself lucky that one was present to witness your fall, lest you no longer be among the living…”  

The voice spoke familiarly; it reminded Aether of how Xianyun and the other adeptus spoke. Surely this voice must belong to another adeptus that he just hadn't met yet.

“...Descend the mountain and return to a safer location, the cliffs of Mt. Mingyuan are no place for young mortals like yourself…”  

The voice spoke again, this time though, it seemed to be coming from the cloud that saved him from his fall. With every syllable pronounced, the cloud of mist gave off a faint but ethereal glow in a medley of colors. Colors that were reminiscent of the night sky that he had seen just yesterday.

Breaking from his adrenaline-fueled trance, Aether shakily gets to his feet and takes the still-sobbing Paimon into his arms. He spared a glance back at the cloud, tempted to stay and ask it about its possible connection to the mysterious skies that he had been wondering about, but one look at the disheveled companion in his arms and he knew his answer. He'd have to worry about that later, his dear friend needs him right now.

“Can… Can I ask you for your name?”  

The golden blonde asked, almost sounding as if he was begging with how his voice trembled.

“...One's name should be of no concern to you at this time; you must go now…”

The ‘cloud’ softly answered back, as if it were trying to coax a sleepy child back into a dream.

With that answer, Aether nodded and headed down the mountain with careful and measured steps, occasionally giving quick glances down at the sleeping Paimon's tear-stained face. He sighs, perhaps he can just ask about this mysterious adeptus another time, he has much more important things to worry about now.

[serendipityandbenevolence]

SAGAU Reader (GN) x Tighnari

Hey. So. I know I ghosted this account for like a year, but guess what, I'm inspired today. Hope this is okay, I wrote it while very sleep-deprived

Contains - you kinda being an awful person and discarding people as you please, tighnari becoming slowly more devoted and obsessive over you as it goes on, slight gore, neuvillette replacing tighnari at the end, this is incredibly specific to my experience of having tighnari in game and is based around if he had feelings regarding that

Tighnari was beginning to hate Gandharva Ville.

If he had been told that even one year ago, he would have laughed, unable to believe that the place he called home could cause him such … disdain.

But that was before you.

He had known, of course, about your arrival in Teyvat. Everyone did, it was all they could talk about for months on end. Whispers travelled about the vision holders who were called by the stars, who felt compelled to follow you to the ends of the earth. But that was of no concern to  Tighnari. You had never stepped foot into Sumeru, had never even called the holder of a Dendro vision to follow you. 

He adored you, as any loyal subject would, but the idea of leaving his home didn’t really appeal to him. Tighnari was content with worshipping from afar. 

At least, that’s what he thought.

It was inevitable, thinking back on it, that you would come to Sumeru. There are only so many nations and the scholars at the Akademiya were becoming restless at your apparent lack of interest in visiting their beloved nation. 

Tighnari had watched curiously when you first arrived in Gandharva Ville, with 4 devotees at your beck and call. He found, looking back, that he could barely recall who you had favoured at that point in time, who was granted the privilege of protecting you. Perhaps it was that gentleman from Mondstadt, with the flaming red hair and blood-coated blade? Or the Tianquan of Liyue, with her endless supplies of Mora merely a snap of the finger away? It didn’t particularly matter. They were not in your favour now.

He remembered how Collei had wept with joy when you named her as your first devotee from Sumeru. She was discarded quickly enough by you, but the joy that privilege had ignited within her still seemed to linger, even now. When you embraced Collei that day, her tears staining your silken shirt, he had met your eyes for the first time.

Tighnari wasn’t really certain what he would see in your eyes. Benevolence, godliness, serenity?

Greed was not what he expected.

The way you eyed him, gaze flicking to his vision, his ears, his tail. You stared at him, the way a child would stare at a new toy, and you smiled.

Tighnari really shouldn’t have been surprised when you called him to serve you. 

The golden stars falling from the sky, the sudden weakness that overcame his body, the portal you had pulled him through. It had seemed unreal, like a nightmare he hoped he would wake from soon.

The weakness had faded as you gave him odd gifts and trinkets, flowers and gemstones, smiling giddily as you told him about how excited you were to have him join your team. With his final gift strapped to his back, an intricate bow that more closely resembled a harp than a weapon, you took him to meet his new companions. 

He was grateful to have Nahida alongside him, a small taste of home, even when he travelled behind you on foreign soil. The Mondstadt girl, Fischl, was strange, but he could not deny her usefulness in battle, especially when she called upon that unsettling bird of hers. And Zhongli was … quiet. He did not speak much to Tighnari, or Nahida, or Fischl. Fischl mentioned once that he was one of your very first devotees and he had never left your side since that day.

He had seen many subjects lose favour with you, but like the rock he commanded, he stayed, unchanging. 

Tighnari was beginning to wish that he too, could be like rock. 

He had followed you across nations, into other dimensions, where the sky stretched for an eternity and the ground fell off into endless darkness. He had slayed countless enemies, stained his hands with blood a thousand times, and never once complained. When he was granted the time to return to Gandharva Ville, he found it … dull. His duties had been given to someone else, so his hours were spent recounting stories of you to engrossed onlookers. He would describe the most insignificant details about you as he stared into the distance and prayed that you would call him back soon.

He had given everything in service for you.

And yet…

You stared up at the entrance to a ‘domain’ as you called them, and hummed to yourself, staring off at nothing.

“We’ll need a Hydro,” you murmured to no one in particular, before turning around.

“Tighnari, why don’t you go rest for a while?”

You flicked your hand and the Iudex of Fontaine stepped through a tear in the fabric of the world, clutching that book you had given him, the one with the blue, watery pages, the one that looked MADE for him. That’s the words you said when you gave it to him.

“Oh, it looks made for you, Neuvi! I’m so glad I got it!”

Tighnari had wanted to rip the fur from his ears, the skin from his flesh, when you smiled at the Iudex, presenting him with the book. Tighnari had clutched his mis-matched bow so hard one of the strings broke with a musical twang. You hadn’t even spared him a second glance.

And now, as you ripped open another seam of reality, revealing Gandharva Ville to him, your smile was not quite as bright as it once was. You ushered him towards the tear, murmuring one last farewell as you did so. 

“Go take a break, Tighnari. I’m sure you’re missing home. Don’t worry, Neuvillette will keep me safe!”

In that moment, as you said that, he’d never been quite so sure of anything.

Tighnari was beginning to hate Gandharva Ville.

Rainjade Oblation System Unlock Criteria:

• Complete the World Quest "The Cloud-Padded Path to the Chiwang Repose"

In addition, there will be new Fishing Points and "Radiant Spincrystals" in Liyue.

II. New Characters

5-Star Character "Passerine Herald" Xianyun (Anemo)

◇ Vision: Anemo

◇ Weapon: Catalyst

◇ One of the Mighty and Illuminated Adepti of Jueyun, known as "Cloud Retainer." Expert in all kinds of mechanical contraptions, her heart now turns towards the affairs of the mortal world, through which she walks under the name "Xianyun."

◆ Elemental Skill "White Clouds at Dawn"

◆ Xianyun enters the Cloud Transmogrification state, in which she will not take Fall DMG, and uses Skyladder once. In this state, Xianyun can cast Skyladder continuously to leap, where her Plunging Attack will be converted into an even stronger Driftcloud Wave instead, which deals AoE Anemo DMG. The more times Skyladder is used, the more DMG the resulting Driftcloud Wave will deal and the larger its AoE.

◆ Elemental Burst "Stars Gather at Dusk"

◆ Brings forth a sacred breeze that deals AoE Anemo DMG and heals all nearby characters. It will also summon the "Starwicker" mechanism that follows the active character and periodically heals all nearby party members. When the Starwicker has Adeptal Assistance stacks, characters will have their jump height increased. When they complete a Plunging Attack, Adeptal Assistance stacks will be consumed and deal AoE Anemo DMG.

4-Star Character "Leonine Vanguard" Gaming (Pyro)

◇ Vision: Pyro

◇ Weapon: Claymore

◇ Guard of the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency, and the head of the "Mighty Mythical Beasts" Wushou troupe.

◆ Elemental Skill "Bestial Ascent"

◆ Gaming pounces forward using the Wushou arts, leaping high into the air after coming into contact with a target or surface. If he immediately uses a Plunging Attack, he will use Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider instead, dealing AoE Pyro DMG to opponents hit.

◆ Elemental Burst "Suanni's Gilded Dance"

◆ Gaming enters Wushou Stance, briefly applying Pyro to him, recovering a fixed amount of HP, and summons his companion, the Suanni Man Chai, to smash into his target, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. After doing so, Man Chai will then attempt to roll towards Gaming. When it links up with Gaming, Man Chai will leave the field and reset the CD for Gaming's Elemental Skill, Bestial Ascent. While Wushou Stance is active, his resistance to interruption is increased, and when Gaming lands with Charmed Cloudstrider attack or completes the forward pounce attack from Bestial Ascent with over 50% HP, he will summon Man Chai again.

III. New Equipment

New Weapon (Examples based on Refinement Rank 1)

Crane's Echoing Call (5-Star Catalyst)

After the equipping character hits an opponent with a Plunging Attack, all nearby party members' Plunging Attacks will deal 28% increased DMG for 20s. When nearby party members hit opponents with Plunging Attacks, they will restore 2.5 Energy to the equipping character. Energy can be restored this way every 0.7s. This energy regain effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.

◆ During the event wish "Epitome Invocation," the event-exclusive 5-star weapon Crane's Echoing Call (Catalyst) will receive a huge drop-rate boost!

IV. New Outfits

Ganyu: Twilight Blossom

◇ A light and graceful festive outfit accented mainly in black nightshade and cerulean blue. Its hair accessory is as radiant as the Qingxin — a pairing that Ganyu is most fond of.

The outfit can only be purchased once.

Shenhe: Frostflower Dew

◇ This Lantern Rite gift that Shenhe received is a set of elegant formal attire that her master, Cloud Retainer, had commissioned for her. Red ropes still adorn her arms, but the bitter cold in Shenhe's heart has faded.

◆ Between the start of the Version 4.4 update and 2024/03/11 03:59, Shenhe's outfit "Frostflower Dew" will be available for purchase in the Character Outfit Shop at a limited-time discount! During the discount period, the price of the outfit is 1,350 Genesis Crystals. The price will revert to 1,680 Genesis Crystals after the limited-time discount ends. The outfit can only be purchased once.

Xingqiu: Bamboo Rain

◇ Formal wear prepared by the Feiyun Commerce Guild for Xingqiu. The bamboo prints are refined and the cut is most flattering, but Xingqiu's favorite aspect of the outfit is its inner pockets, into which a thinner novel might be stuffed.

◆ During Version 4.4, Travelers can obtain Xingqiu's outfit "Bamboo Rain" for free by participating in the limited-time "Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze" event.

◆ After Version 4.4 is over, Travelers can buy the outfit in the Character Outfit Shop.

about us: the traveller

the traveller is a brave and brilliant soul, and i wish them the best of luck on their journey. though, now that i think about it… i’m not certain they’d ever need my blessing.

about us: the creator

friendship lv. 4

even the strongest stone cannot withstand erosion forever. the winds of time and sands of memories past will grate at its surface, scraping away the smallest amount with every breath. there are, of course, methods to restore even the harshest of removals, but… *sigh* no mortal can undo time.

about you: worship

friendship lv. 6

everything that can be seen in liyue could not have been made without your blessing. i have shaped the harbor, created the coin around which teyvat operates, and yet none of it could ever have been done without you. i dedicate myself and my creations to you and your glory, and hope that liyue is to your liking. …i hope that i am as well.

ayato

about us: the traveller

the traveller has been a large and key part of overturning the vision hunt decree, and has assisted the nations of teyvat greatly. ive been meaning to invite them back for a game of chess, but they always seem rather busy… it can’t be helped, i suppose.

about us: the creator

friendship lv. 4

everything around us, from the evergreens to the fallen sakura blooms, was all planted by design. year after year, they sprout, bloom, and fall, always returning back to the posts they’d abandoned months before… perhaps that is true loyalty.

about you: worship

friendship lv. 6

when i first received my vision, i had taken it as a sign that it was time to find my own way. i had assumed i was to walk the path of commissioner alone, that it would be my lone light. i… was wrong. you were there. …for this and everything else, i pledge both my allegiance and the allegiance of the yashiro commission as well. should you need anything, trust that the entirety of my resources are at your disposal. it is the least i could offer.

heizou

about us: the traveller

ah, the traveller… an interesting character, with plenty of stories to tell. the hero of three of teyvat’s— oh, four? …well well, seems like they’ve been getting busy. with all the work they’re doing, i might be out of a job soon, haha.

about us: the creator

friendship lv. 4

here in teyvat, it’s impossible to truly measure the extent of a criminal’s transgressions, and hence impossible to ever be able to tell if a punishment was fit or not. a thief might have brought a family to financial ruin, and a murderer often scars more than just the victim. as a detective, it’s my job to account for strictly quantifiable crimes, but… it doesn’t matter. in the end, even the sneakiest of thieves will meet their maker.

about you: worship

friendship lv. 6

my success is often attributed to my intuition — typically by new officers who assume i can solve any case by simply looking at it — but this conclusion is entirely unfounded. every gift i have isn’t innate, it’s a blessing; one that i’m immensely lucky to have. what i’m saying is that i would never have gotten this far without you, and that i swear to repay this debt however is necessary. doushin shikanoin, at your service.

xingqiu

about the creator: penmanship

sometimes i wonder how the universe came to be. obviously such an event was powered by the strength of the divine, but… was an artifact used to channel this energy? if so, would it be more equivalent to a vision, or, say, a pen? do you think such a device could be adapted to work with vision users? wh— hey, leave my handwriting out of this! it’s a serious question

chongyun

about the creator: energy

do you think that if the creator were to visit a haunted location, that the evil spirits would be driven away? or would they be exorcised? obviously, they tend to run away when faced with my yang energy, but what would demons do when faced with the divine? hm…

[cosmichawk]

Ok so I want to talk about harbingers playability really quick

1.We knew that Signora would not be playable since day 1 bc she was always marked as monster in game files, not as playable characher. Scaramouche, on the other hand, was always labeled as avatar_boy_catalyst (or something like that). People who wanted for Signora to be playable were not just overdosing on hopium but straight up ignored all the red flags.

People who keep saying Dottore/Arlecchino/etc. will not be playable are also just ignoring what's in front of them. Dottore is labeled in game the way other playable characters are labeled. From recent leaks Arlecchino is also labeled this way. It seems that Scara/Signora incident didn't teach these people anything. Bruh

2.Voice actors are important.

Look at Signora's va. All of them. We don't know what her eng va is and her other va are not that popular.

Now look at other harbingers' va. I will talk about eng va only but you can look up their va for other languages and see that they are also pretty famous. They are either have high positions in the voice/acting/art industry or have famous roles (or both). Dottore's eng va is Mick Wingert. He voiced fucking Iron Man. Or Pierro's va, Richard Tatum. He is artistic director in some LA company. Or Michael Tatum, eng va for Pantalone. He has a lot of roles. like... A LOT.

You get the point. There is literally no reason for MHY to hire these VAs (that probably have a pretty pricey price-list for their work) just to give their voices to a characters they will just kill off.

3.This point is kinda strange but i noticed it randomly and now i can't get it out of my head. Official art.

Try to remember one official art of Signora. You can't, can you? That's bc it doesn't exist, even tho she played some kinda important role in Mond/Liyue/inazuma plotline.

Now try to remember one official art of Scaramouche (not Wanderer). You will remember some artwork pretty quickly bestie. His first appearance in the official art was in 1.1 for the Unreconciled Stars. Then he was featured in 3.1 official art, then in 3.2 as a mecha.

Dottore now also has appearance in the official art in 3.1 as well.

4.Design.

This one will be focused on Pulchinella and Pierro bc they are in the same boat (kinda). You see, I saw a lot of people being like "well, Pierro and Pulchinella both have facial hair and we know that MHY will never have character like that in their game".

And... no. I see where these people were coming from but this argument is invalid BC Pulchinella was featured in Teyvat Travail video. (even tho he is faceless there). ALL characters that were shown in this video will be playable. It would NOT make sense for MHY to make all chars from there playable except Pulchinella. Like... 1) they could feature someone else from Snezhnaya in Travail if they wanted to go with this design for grandpa, 2) or they could simply give him different design.

Point is, Pulchinella will be playable like he is now. And as for the model... Well, we still don't have child male model in game but we definitely will at some point. MHY could just change it a little so it could suit gramps better and that's it.

Moving on to Pierro. Pulchinella has facial hair, Pierro does as well. If gramps is playable, then argument about Pierro not being playable just bc of his facial hair doesn't work anymore.

Also not even 24hrs ago we had this leak of MHY working on new male model and very heavy accent was on Pierro in this art sheet. So...

Of course I could just be wrong, delusional and overdosed on copium. But i genuinely think that all harbingers will be playable (except Signora ofc) in one way or another.

[kyogre-blue]

Whew, back from a work trip and took a day off to catch up on my gachas lol (and also sleep). So, a recap.

Genshin main: Not much going on here. I've reached 280 wishes, so I should have 300 by 5.3. That's roughly what I was aiming for to feel confident about getting the three characters I want before Snezhnaya: Arlecchino, Xianyun, and Childe C4. Arlecchino is supposed to rerun in 5.3, so it'll be great to finally get rid of my pity (50 into a guarantee).

I'm almost hoping they'll put Xianyun on some special Lantern Rite banner just so that I can get that out of the way, but they'll probably save her for when they release Madame Ping as our yearly Liyue 5 star (whom I will skip because she'll use Natlan materials, and I'm refusing to enter there on my main because reasons). Aside from that, I guess I'll get Yaoyao C2 from the selector. What else is there?

Mostly, I'm just waiting for Snezhnaya. I wonder what weird gimmick they'll come with up for its characters.

Genshin alt: An hour before heading to the airport, I got Newville Neuvillete C2. Finally cleared the high guarantee on this account. I had to skip Ororon because of that (tried a ten pull, didn't get him, didn't dare to keep going), and it's looking like Ifa will also be a 4 star. And that'll be the two mandated tall men of Natlan. I have 250 wishes saved now, and if we assume only two more men in Snezhnaya (which I'm assuming, given the trend toward more waifus in Natlan), then by end of 6.x, I might actually catch up on all tall men in Genshin. Nice.

Incidentally, the Natlan leaks are currently forecasting like this: 5.3 is Lantern Rite, the last Natlan AQ act, banners Mavuika/Clorinde and Arlecchino/Citlali. 5.4 seems like it'll be a low key patch with an Inazuma 5 star ("Mizuki") who is going into Standard, currently said to be Anemo. It should also be the Venti rerun, and I think if we're getting the supposed Dragonspine/Wanderer event, it would probably be here? 5.5 will probably be the last Natlan clan, with "Varesa" as the 5 star and Iansan as the 4 star. And then Ifa should be after that, as well as a 5 star who is not from Natlan (I assume Madame Ping). That'll leave 5.7-5.8 as big unknowns.

Wuwa: I got Stringmaster for Encore, though I ran out of credits, so it's still level 88 for now, haha. Fortunately, this is the last 5 star weapon I wanted to get, so I'm done pulling until Brant. I also managed to finish almost everything in Illusive Realm, just need a couple more runs to max out the bonus tree and clear out the last parts of the shop. Now, I'm just farming mats to max out everyone's skills, but actually doing so is gated by weekly boss drops anyway. Basically just in the Rinascita waiting room. 2.0 banners will be a skip, but there will be new map, hopefully Baizhi S3 in the shop, and also Sanhua skin.

HSR: Since my pulls panned out, I'm just farming trace mats. Once I hit 55 world level, I'll go back to relics (urgh). Not really much going on, though once the second half banners start, I'll fish for Gallagher and farm his stuff, since it should be on early access for Firefly. I did try doing the higher threshold levels in Unknowable Domain (total fail) and DU (passed threshold 2, failed 3). Eh...

tbh HSR is kinda... I dunno about it. It's quite a hassle to play and there doesn't seem to be much going on most of the time. Fortunately, I can finally auto-play at least some of the grinding, but... not sure how much I'll keep playing in the long term.

[vees-genshin-blog]

Day 20

I risked it and decided to play even though I still have stuff to do cause I'm deprived and Idk how much time I'll have over the weekends since I need to study 😭😭😭.

So what did I do yesterday?

After collecting some cores and condensing my resin, I checked which domains were available, and thanks to the new update to the crafting table, I saw that I could get enough books to level and crown my Childe's skill. I only had to use 4 of the 5 resin I condensed!!

Before enemy farming, I did the carriage minigame in Nahida's birthday event and finished all the levels with all three challenges cleared!!

Then, I searched up for some fatui farming routes and followed one of the ones in Liyue, which was thankfully enough!! Now all I need is the weekly boss drop, which might take a bit, though I have enough dream solvents to convert the other drops if needed.

Using the crafting table, I checked what I needed for Polar star, and after fighting some specters and two riftwolves, I got the drops needed to do ascend and level it all the way to 90!!! So Childe's weapon is finally done and now I just need to crown his skill and burst!!

However, his artifacts are still confusing me 😭😭😭. I looked through sone of the resources on the Childe mains discord (which I probably should have done before) and apparently 2 pc HOD and Nymph is not too different from 2pc hydro/2pc atk, so you know what? This is what imma do: farm Emblem and hopefully get good Shimenawa as well as Emblem, then strongbox Nymph with leftovers.

I think I'm just really attached to my HOD 2pc, but if I get better artifacts to replace them, it'll be easier to shift. The issue is just that they are not bad pieces, so it's hard to replace them. Oh well, that's fine. I already knew that Childe International was going to need a lot of investment 😤.

Anyway, that's it for today and I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

[jihyocentric]

Really all my luck is on star rail bcs I haven't lost 1 single 50/50 since day 1

And I have 6 limited banner characters so that's 6 50/50s won technically in a row

I got 4 different 5 stars by pulling on standard and then Dr.Ratio in mail

So that's 11 excluding trailblazer

In genshin I get NOTHING

I have shenhe and alhaitham and that's it

Not for a lack of puling no, it's that I don't even lose the 50/50s, they just don't come

I'm f2p and a uni student, I can't farm for more fates, so i gave up 😭

if i were f2p i'd have nothing... i get you. sometimes i only log in to get the 90 primos from welkin and then i close the game. i only got more wishes bc i was obsessed over xianyun these days (and i got her because she's a mommy and she buffs my baby boy xiao that's all i needed to know) so i ended up exploring ALL of fontaine (which was at 0-15% exploration since its release mind you) AND the new liyue region with her. so at least i have arlecchino guaranteed now and mb her weapon too!

[yokelish]

Reading up on Genhsin burn out is the most profound parasocial relationship I am having right now.

Like yes king, Chasm was peak event and lore, lately, when it comes to regions. Enkanomiya is close second.

Yes, point 3 had the most confusing character and kit releases.

Yes, Nahida is the only one (outside of Dain) who have us anything valuable on our sibling, which only took 3 years.

The desert was torturous. The goddamn festival period in Genshin is... Well, I don't know what it is. I get it summer events. But oh my god you don't have to be like this: 30 hours of dialogue, 2-3 hours of mini games, 6 hours of exploration.

The fucking aranaras search was the single stupidest thing Genshin came up with.

The fact that the entire Abyss since point 3 solely fucking relied on your Aggravate/Spread the reaction and occasional Bloom. You don't have that many constant-electro-apllication characters available, Gesnhin.

The rewards feel diminishing. You are AR60? Fucking die then. That's it. That's the end. You are the greatest adventurer of them all, fuck off now.

Gesnhin needs a fucking universal Stella fortuna for their 4 stars. It's fucking infuriating how we get these new characters who, let's be honest, most fiction best with higher Cs. But if you don't get those C's on a banner, get FUCKED. Gesnhin shop steal fucking features only Mondstadt-Liyue support characters after 3 years. Why can't you fucking add more? They are not cheap anyway.

[azaenya]

My hopes for Fontaine

As Sumeru's main story is over and we start looking forward to Fontaine, I wanted to share my hopes for it because I have Genshin brainrot and nowhere to put it.

Up to this point, there has been a notable villain progression, first starting with Signora in Mondstadt as our introduction to the Fatui, Childe in Liyue as our first Fatui boss fight, also notable that he's the lowest Harbringer. Then in Inazuma, we jump to 8th with Signora, while also introducing Scaramouche, and finally he's the Sumeru's boss at No. 6.

This introduces a unique problem, because as of now, our progression has always been going up the ranks, but now the ones who are left above 6 are Pierro, Dottore, Columbina, Capitano, and Pulcinella, with the only real possibilities being between Dottore and Columbina.

While Dottore was introduced in the previous chapter, I have a feeling Columbina will be featured in Fontaine, to honestly mix things up a little. And my hope is that we do fight against her, but we are horribly outmatched. This would allow us to dip that curve of progression and we can come back around for Capitano in Natlan (because I feel like he's no. 4). But I am not saying that Columbina will be the main antagonist of the arc, she would mostly serve as a taste of how powerful the top 3 are.

The real main antagonist of Fontaine I believe will be Sandrone.

Sandrone:

With the other Harbingers, they have been kinda dark mirrors of the associated regions (except Childe).

Mondstadt's Signora, Inazuma's Scaramouche, and Sumeru's Dottore, and with how Steampunk-inspired Fontaine seems to be, I believe Sandrone will be associated with Fontaine. This is probably not a new breakthrough.

But a key hope I have isn't her being a physically powerful enemy, but being an intellectual one. Because her, Pantalone, Pulcinella, and Arlecchino's strengths aren't likely in raw power, but tactics, so I would like an antagonist that is able to challenge the Traveler on a mental and philosophical level (and also us being able to follow along). She also serves as the Fatui's spymaster through being the head of the Adventurer's Guild, so she could have some knowledge that she could hold over us. She could also just threaten to remove our status as an Adventurer, so no more daily commissions, which would definitely spur the players into playing along. All these reasons why is why I don't think we can just "duke it out" with her.

Another hope I have for Sandrone is that, in some way, she has a point. That Fontaine isn't operating in a good way, and things aren't as black and white as they seem. Like, there are lots of threads to play with, the idea of Justice, the Oceanid's exile, possible smoke or light pollution because one Fontaine character said they could see the stars back home, so the effects of industrialization. We'll have to see.

Other things:

On the Traveler's side of the story of finding their sibling, I just want better, clearer writing because I went through the Chasm story, not really engaged, and I feel like the Abyss plot lacks the personalities of the Fatui, so people like the Harbingers better. I've consumed interesting theories of what's going on, and I just wish that was more pronounced, which would also give the Traveler more character.

If nothing else, give Sandrone a BITCHIN airship. That would be great.

[prettybbychim]

story time my dumbass thought the algorithm matrix boss in the desert didn’t unlock until after completing the quest line w jeht and jebrael…

awhile ago i started a new account on a different server and the whole challenge for this account was to play w characters that don’t get any or much attention on my main account. so i wish on banners i skipped and show some love to some forgotten about 4-stars

now, faruzan isn’t forgotten about, i just cant get SHIT for her in the artifact domain so she’s been stuck at level 80 w a lvl 90 weapon and 1/6/8 talents

so i thought hey lets finally put her to use! was gonna make her a main dps at least for mondstadt and liyue before things start getting a little too beefy for her to handle but alas i never found out what her damage might even look like because i saw she took those mats and like dammittttt i cant build her im not doing that quest yet no way. didnt bother to double check bc i Knew I KNEW there was no doubt in my mind that it was locked behind it

and so back to the bench she went

candace too goddammit

got wanderer. fuuuuck i wish i could build faruzan

and then. the adopted animal event. trekked all the way over on foot and unlocked that statue of seven and lo and behold

THIS FUCKING.L BITCH HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME

moral of the story i am always wrong do not trust a word i say especially if im real confident about it

realistically i wouldn’t have wanted to build her anyway due to the boss’ mechanics and those goddamn henna berries. although the later has been made so much easier w the specialty tracking system. not to mention artifact domains, weapon and talent mats… madam was not going to be my first main dps lmao

finally, the goddamn banner is here

my pulls:

not pictured: the qiqi con i got after i had to start doing single pulls cuz i was out of primos

so... yeah. i lost the 50/50. which is a bit of a bummer. (hence no pic of the qiqi con.) but it's literally the first 15 minutes of the banner, so i have plenty of time to grind back up to hard pity if need be. and this time i know i'm for sure getting venti, so my motivation is coming back with a vengeance.

i'm also quite happy at getting two chongyun cons. he's now sitting at a happy c5. if venti takes forever to come home then i'll definitely be able to snag his last con from the banner. and failing that, there's still my albedo pulls (not a leak; just a personal expectation based on banner history. in case the disclaimer is necessary) plus random standard pulls that i might get it from. and if after all that i still don't get it, i'm guaranteed his last con in the next lantern rite. and in that case it'd be like it came with a celebration so it's great. i'm not adamant about getting cons for any other liyue 4 stars, so i'd probably just get ningguang cuz she's the only one i don't have yet. assuming i get his c6 beforehand and i also don't have her yet by then. i guess i'd like to get yanfei's c4 at some point. but the single con from lantern rite isn't enough to get there yet so meh. beidou's c1 also sounds good for the taser team i want to try out at some point. but i'd rather prioritize getting new characters. because every new character is basically three free standard fates.

honestly i'm more annoyed at the lion's roar i pulled than losing the 50/50 to qiqi. this weapon legit plagues me. also i can forgive getting dori's c5 cuz i also got chong's c5. i don't really care for the thoma con either. but i'm gonna rationalize it as it being good for whenever i feel like trying his burgeon team or smth and call it a day.

now i'm gonna have to finish the archon quest. which i'm not looking forward to tbh. for me it's one of those things where it's good the first time you play through it, but replaying it isn't fun. i'm also gonna take my time with the poetry event for the sake of prolonging the time before i run out of easy things i can replace daily comms with even further.

so yeah. let the grind begin.

I'm sorry for your 50/50 loss, especially to Dehya. I won my pull for Neuvilette (his dragon pussy belongs to me now), but I did lose my 50/50 when I pulled for Baishu and also to Dehya and is such a horrible feeling cause like, she's really not a good unit, like what I'm supposed to do with her? (worse of all I got her c1 on standard not that long ago like come hoyo, stop giving me Dehya). I think another problem with Dehya is her weapon type, Mihoyo also seems to struggle with making Claymore users that are good instead of just usable (besides Dehya, both Freminet and Dori are not that good in terms of meta)

Oh yeah, but I'm not too bothered because I will top up tomorrow to get 41 fates, plus with events and anniversary, also the star glitter shop I can get around 50 wish. Grinding 26 more wish is not that hard for me since I'm still in Sumeru, I haven't even done all the quest in Mondstat and Liyue lmao because I'm lazy, also I bought Welkin

Neuvillette is guaranteed to come home, so I'm doing fine.

Tho, I will skip on Furina since she is not my waifu type. I want to get Wrio as well, but we will see.

Dehya kit is all over the place. She can't be a viable DPS or support, and you don't really need her tankiness if you have a healer, shielder, or a broken DPS like Yelan who can wipe the floor real fast.

Dehya is a redundant 5 stars, and you need her c6 to make her usable, why do I have to waste my primo to get her c6 when c2 Zhongli with his shield can make Traveler and their team invincible both in single and co-op? For god’s sake, shield bot Zhongli weapon is black tassel, and he just wanted HP and damage burst artifacts

Why do I need a tank with damage mitigation like Dehya when Yanfei or Xianling can deal more damage than her and Barbara is a free healer anyway? And like you said, Dehya is a claymore user which is a notoriously clunky weapon, people say catalyst is clunky, but I have a harder time with claymore.

HENCE, WHY I'M WORRIED ABOUT NAVIA! She's geo claymore

It's a shame because I love Dehya personality and looks, but for some reason Hoyo seems to not care about her. Freminet and Dori are never meant to be meta, but according to people who have tried Fremi, he is very fun to use with his shatter mechanic.

I have him c5 because I pulled 151 times for Zhongli lmao, but I haven't tried him because Aether haven't met him yet.

The broken 4 stars meta like Xianling, Bennet, Sucrose, or Fischl were miracle that happened when Genshin was still new, they need to be excellent because there wasn't that many units yet both 5 and 4 stars. I think 4 stars nowadays will either be good enough or meh but with a unique mechanic/looks but won't be broken like early 4 stars
