I don’t know how but this account just keeps getting lucky. I’m certainly not complaining though the more luck I can get the better, that being said It’s got to run out at some point… right. Whatever the case this was a pretty big video as a lot of grinding went into it as well as also doing act four of Natlan (which is the best Archon quest). Hope you enjoy the video.

I’ve been trying for her whole banner and still haven’t been able to get her after grinding after losing the 50/50,i rlly like xilonen but idk if I’ll be able to have her before the banner is done
I usually never comment cause it always feels like I'm being aggressive as all hell by not asking permission to be in other people's spaces, but this series baffled me to the point where the fear of being seen as an invasive, inconsiderate person has become less important than just making sure you know the consequences of your actions lmao.
I'll admit where I stand: I play tons of challenge accounts and try a little bit too hard to make sure I never cheat and also make sure my rules are consistent and not arbitrary unless that arbitrary-ness is explicitly stated so that my own audience doesn't feel cheated or confused at all, I find the difficult parts of a challenge acc to be the most fun and being vague and weird with my rules is something that to me is something to try to avoid whenever possible.
A thing I at least find important in challenge accounts is that they're supposed to be restrictive to some degree, so seeing the initial premise of "healer, shielder, battery & buffer" to be incredibly and absurdly broad for a challenge and as I kept watching the series I became more and more baffled on what on earth your rules were as you constantly contradicted yourself and did absolutely zero explanation in those early episodes.
At episode 5 I had enough and decided to list out all of the characters who should count in this challenge according to what you had said in the very first episode as the challenge's rules, so there were 3 (4) tiers:
– Those who are capable of buffing your teammates or capable of making the enemy weaker in their base c0 kit, actives and passives, I had this tier because you included Rosaria who has crit rate share to her teammates but is otherwise colloquially a sub-dps, and to be fair here I did include that 'enemy weaker' because I both forgot that Zhongli is a shielder and not just a shredder and found your series in my recommended this very video where you pulled for Xilonen who's another shredder but also healer, so if "shredding" is not within your criteria as that was not stated in the 4 categories that is fair enough, though that only removes Lisa/Eula from this tier and Xingqiu/Razor in the second tier, so not that huge of a dent.
– Those who are capable of yadda yadda but within their constellations, I had this tier because you included Geo Traveler, a character who has 0 credibility in their base kit but gives a crit rate buff to active characters on their c1 and Collei only gives buffs at c4 (I know you've now changed your tune about Collei but you did finish the archery challenge with her which is a significant hurdle in challenge accounts and thus a key moment in your account's journey)
– A cheeky tier for Childe as it is his passive to buff normal attacks but it's in his special passive and not like everyone else so he got to has his own tier ehe
– And then the final category for those who did not meet a single one of the criteria above, no shields no heals no buffing not battery under any circumstance, and at the time of episode 5 that was a total of 7 people you could not use. And if we follow the rules you established in the comments of episode 5 wherein you explain that constellations don't count (even though you were so excited to get gmc asap in those earlier days) then you would still have access to over half of the characters in the game, which to me doesn't sound very restrictive at all especially as you'd still have access to most of the 'broken' characters in the game even following the c0 tier.
I watched through the entirety of the series to see if you changed your roster at all, I didn't want to make an invalid argument that was 2 years late after all, and after watching all the way to present day I can comfortably say that nothing has practically changed, It seems(?) by the time ep 23 rolled around you no longer counted Gmc (and also kicked out known battery Emc for some reason lol) if you were to keep gmc and therefore allow constellations to count then your original 7 turns into a shaky 15, 13 if you think Chiori's coordinated attack counts as support and thus that also means Fischl's coordinated attack also becomes allowed. But given you still consider known main and sub dps as supports just because they include supportive abilities and not because they're known as supports the only thing that's really changed is a more consistent rule on constellations.
You've also said sort of vaguely that how a character feels counts into whether you consider them into the role, you for example excluded Lynette because she didn't "feel" like a support but was instead a sub-dps even though she gives teamwide 20% atk buff at c0, but given you include Raiden to this day, someone I have at least never once heard anyone say is a support ever at all (a main dps in rational & chevvy teams and the sub-dps by bein the trigger in hb teams) just because she has the capability to battery, which makes me think that their more "proper" role has little to no true effect on whether someone counts, that Venti pick still baffles me too if it did.
And also speaking of ep 23 I just need you to know that Xingqiu is a sub-dps as you initially said he counted as a support because he was too weak to be sub-dps, I don't know who told you he doesn't do damage he does tons of damage, he is known as a sub-dps to the greater audience. So do Xiangling and Rosaria, the 3 of them do tons and tons of sub-dps damage (And also Albedo but I don't think he does as much damage as the other 3). And by the way if you didn't know I think Chongyun is mostly considered a burst dps, Xinyan is designed as a physical dps and I've personally gotten an earful on about how Fischl is one of the best batteries in the entire game even if she doesn't have any mention of it in her kit. (I am aware that Xinyan's shield automatically allows her in accordance with the 4 categories, but if you want to argue that role is the only factor that matters and not the stated premise then logically she should then be booted)
Though the Xingqiu slander almost gave me an aneurysm lmao /lh
Ep 43 didn't change any of my thoughts but it did give me confirmation that you included Rosaria because of her CR share, in which case you should probably add Hu Tao, she also has CR share in her passives, amongst many other buffers being excluded here not because they are incapable of supporting or buffing your team but because of an incredibly arbitrary line between community/personal ideas of roles rather than the stated requirement of 'buffers', a requirement that has nothing to do with any perceptions of roles and only the fact of if they do or do not buff.
A personal anecdote that I'm not sure is something entirely necessary but still think it adds onto why I'm even writing this whole message, but I for example on my Bows Only account use Yoimiya as a support for my Lyney as I utilize her passive which makes enemies take more damage if affected by her burst, on my Swords Only I often use Albedo in coop in hb teams because of his EM buff, on Claymores Only I use Eula as a cryo shredder for my Freminet, I put Heizou on a hb team on Catalyst Only because of his EM buff– And speaking of cata only I plan on getting c2 Klee to be a complete support for my Mualani. And I have tons upon tons more examples and could probably source you to other fellow challengers who have also played their characters unconventionally because of their capability to be a support, just because they're known to be a certain role does not exclude their ability to be a support especially within challenge accounts. And also a non-personal anecdote one of Neuvi's best teams on release included Childe simply being there as his NA/CA passive was so strong he didn't even need to contribute in any other way.
!! This isn't meant as any type of hate or trouble or anything, barely even criticism honestly unless you think someone pointing out stuff being arbitrary is critique. I would've quit out on the series long ago and not even commented if I hated it, I'm not a masochist lol. Ignoring this whole roster problem and I found myself enjoying watching the entire series so far, I always have inherent comradery with other fellow challenge accounts I find since people with the same interests is naturally appealing. It simply is that I just couldn't keep my mouth shut on how little of a challenge you've made for yourself if we follow your own stated premise.
Which is fine I want to make that very clear! Again I'm not intending to be a hater or to ruin your own fun! Not everyone wants their challenge to be supremely difficult and they just want a change of pace which is fully and completely fine, no caveats, it's a game for entertainment at the end of the day, but when there's a chance to nudge someone on the shoulder and go "Hey, are you sure about this? This is all super arbitrary and has no consistent throughline at all you know." I don't think it's fully evil to mention it, nor is it evil to respond "Yeah I understand but it does not bother me." :p
ps. I don't think it's particularly necessary to the comment as it's already so long lol but if anyone wants to know what characters are capable of buffing their team/mate and wants me to show my work I'd be more than willing, their exclusion was not due to a lack of evidence.
