Childe's banner has officially dropped
If those 4*s sound familiar it's because they're the exact same from Ayaka's banner lol. I got c1 ning c0 xong and c2 yanfei from Ayaka's banner but i never trained any of them. Hmmm Childe is cool and this banner is cool but i guess it aint for me again, at least for now. Unless i get sold me on those 4*s, gonna wait for leaks and next banner to see.
BTW they didnt put Barbara NOR noele on childe's banner! This means there is a legit real chance hu tao's banner is thoma/barbara/noelle so be prepared for it.
Oh no I'm gonna max out the BP one day later than usual
I think she is a good character that suffers from stale jokes and overwriting, she's also comedic relief since she's a mascot character. This is her best joke.
she is the best emergency snacks
even worse, that banner has exactly the 4* I want - and the one 5* I'd want the least to waste my pity on. that's why that banner pisses me off somewhat, back at the ayaka banner I could excuse that combination was a one time thing - only for mihoyo to straight up copy it this soon. a ganyu or yae banner would've been literally perfect, and what makes it even more insulting that at this point there are chars way more in need of a re-run like xianling or even noelle (since it's been a while when they ran her like every second banner and new players want constellations too), but will now probably be on the banner with the 5* I want, while those chars now will take several months for a re-run (and to add insult to injury, yanfei isn't even in the shop rotation).
the best travel companion ever.
one theory I read was that japan rolls for looks, china for meta. that's why even kokomi seemed to have fared pretty well over there.
I laughed that GI fans think Itto is concidered a beefcake standard tbh. Knowing their male models looking like sticks and all...
I kind of like what they're doing with Geo. Every other element synergizes with each other, but Geo is designed to be better the more Geo characters you stack on your team. The only big flaw this has is just that your pool for teambuilding is severely limitted. (Edit: also its not like you can't just slot zhongli or albedo on just about any team)Goddamn it, Gorou is literally a defense buffer that gives more benefits the more geo users you have on the team, he looks to be completely designed around Albedo+Noelle+Itto and nothing else which is hilarious since he does nothing for kokomi. This has to be most niche character in the whole game, at least Sara can buff others and use her C6 on herself.
Itto is looking like a Geo Xiao but with charge attacks and defense. His final hit gives a stack and his skill is a taunt construct (lol) that generates stacks. You burst to give yourself geo damage and geo scaling (lol male noele) and then spend those stacks on a boosted charge attack. As always, gonna depend on his numbers but sounds like all he needs is a geo battery and a shield to play selfish carry.
Itto artifact is literally free 54% defense + 24% geo damage that you're going to farm 4 times if you want to go full geo defense team. Kokomi set sounds very niche, heal to create a bubble that heals and does damage, but if doesnt work with overheal (it wont) then it's not going to be a good damage unless it's barbara healing the whole team with her burst. Watch the bubble do physical damage too.
The fact that the moonchase festival phase 3 goes through dragonspine made me think the devs wanted to force players to go there and get it done in time for the next event and i guess i was right. Very high albedo chances.
Potential hot take but i didnt like any of those? I dont understand why the devs want to push mono geo defense team so hard when shield+def makes you double immortal. Gorou sounds straight up wasted outside of mono geo and i'm not going to play that. Itto might be fine and strong but not what i need rn.
Next patch is looking great for Geo players but i fear it's going to be two more banners skipped for me.
