QUICK EDIT: The new Xiao artifact set increased your dmg by a total of 66% at max stacks not 58%. I missed the initial 8% from the 4 set.
So how excited are we for the characters and events in 2.6?!

so sad about kazuha 😔
Ayato looks pretty dope, not gonna lie! Though i'm super hyped Ayaka is coming back! I have guaranteed pity. If i do like how Ayato plays i may get him and then get Ayaka! So many decisions!
Honestly,not looking forward to Ayato neither to Venti and Ayaka,all i want is to get myself a Kokopuffs if i can,but if not idk i'm sitting on a guaranteed,new archon quest plus new area to explore and stuff to find and so on i always look forward to,but i admit the thing i look forward to right now are the new artifacts,i have Xiao and he's trash,his gameplay is great and i love it but he needs HUGE HUGE investment to be viable,i mean mine is talents lvl7 across the board and barely does as much dmg as my goddamn Ningguang who's lvl5 across the board with trash Petra artifacts,my Xiao btw has decent 2pc VV and 2pc Shimenawa so basically the best case scenario,i do look forward to finally making him actually useful because i benched him as soon as i noticed i need to crown him JUST to make him able to keep up with my other 4* DPS units.
Btw just think about Ayaka built for normal attacks with Shenhe and Yunjin in the team AND that new artifact that boosts normal attacks once in a while,or maybe a Ning build with that new set since she can be mostly used for normal atks.
Mihoyo does a decent job with the artifacts honestly,most of the "first year" artifacts are pretty much copy and paste,you got your cryo based artifact and its cryo ressistence counterpart,you got the same thing for pyro and anemo aswel as geo and electro or hydro and you get the point,at first most artifacts felt copy and pasted but with different elements or tiny changes,but lately they added the Clam which has its unique mechanic,they added shield based sets,they now add more atk based artifacts all with more unique mechanics instead of straight up buff to a specific thing,i admit i like that BUT i wish MHy added 5* versions for already existing sets that don't have a 5* version yet,some are rlly rlly good and could work rlly well later on in the game but you just can't use them because the scaling between 4 and 5* is rlly different plus 4* can only go up to lvl16 while 5* can go to 20,so 4 levels plus better scaling can make a pretty bad 5* be better than a rlly good 4*.
Thanks this video was raelly helpful!!. Can you please make a video about the new archon and theories about it.
Hope you guys get the character you want
Wow archons back to back 😍 2.4 Zhongli 2.5 Raiden Shogun 2.6 venti 👀
EOAO sounds like another set for tartaglia lol
Do you think ayato is worth it? İs he a great support for raiden
It seems like this kinda confirms we’ll get Kazu and Miya next patch. I’ve been waiting for Kazu for so long and I’m glad to be able to pull this patch and be able to save for him next patch.
0:45 me who already has enough pulls to guarantee kazuha ;-; and one pity for ayato, if Kazuha ain’t coming 2.7 I’ll go cry I in my corner 🙃, great video and stay safe <3
I’m planning to pull Venti in first half, and I’m debating if I want Ayaka as well
do a video on the on ayato and does he worth the primo or not
I don't think Ayaka "popularity" has anything to do with it. Else Raiden who is far more popular would have gotten a solo banner. It's not even like Ayaka sold that well to begin with either.
The whole thing with Ayaka is that they have been releasing units who perfectly synergize with her, in fact the 3 last 5* supports that we got are BiS in her freeze team making her the most premium top meta character. They either expectt the community to be excited at the idea of playing the most broken team in the game or one of their investor is an Ayaka simp. Either way that's a bad business move but hey that's more primos for later.
was patiently waiting for your video on 2.6! you have quickly become my favourite genshin content creator with your easily understandable yet detailed guides and explanations, looking forward to you pulling ayato and his guide video when he's released 😇
people on reddit are speculating the reason why ayaka is having her solo run is because hoyoverse is planning to pair mistsplitter reforged with a lackluster weapon instead of elegy, would love to know your thoughts on this?
Huh, it is really weird they’re pairing Venti with the newby and having Ayaka on her own, they must have something up their sleeve… anyway great video! Artifacts for my Xiao finally!!
actually ayato’s elemental skill doesnt use the same multipliers as his normal attacks, they have higher scaling but its considered as a normal attack dmg
I want Ayaka and Kazuha but I need more anemo but I like both styles it’s hard to choose I want them both
I’m using him to boost my dps kokomi normal atk dmg😌
Nah hutao was never in Ayaka's league
so uhm I need 17 more wishes to be guaranteed venti.. how do I get more primos😭👺
As someone who wants both Venti and Kazuha on the same account (I have two accounts, but would like to get both on my first account at some point), I'm actually really happy that only Venti is getting his rerun in 2.6, and not both him and Kazuha like some people claimed. I wouldn't have been able to get both if that was the case. I started back in 2.0, by the way, so that's why I don't have either of them.
Character banners aside, I'm super excited for what the next patch has to offer in general! 2.5 felt pretty slow and more like filler, whereas 2.6 seems to be jam-packed with new content and fun events. I don't think I've ever been more excited for an upcoming patch other than 2.1 because of the release of the Raiden Shogun, and 2.4 because of Lantern Rite and the release of Enkanomiya
Ayato seems fun and I really want to pull for him! Here's hoping I have enough wishes saved! And Theater Mechanicus is one of my favorite recurring events so that's nice too~
I would rather have windtrace and not the stupid tower defense :/
Banner order only has one explanation: they don't want the Mistsplitter to run alongside Elegy for the end. That would be another Homa/Elegy banner and just too easy for us. Instead we are going down with Mistsplitter/skyward spine or something.
9:09 No this is a huge loss for xiao mains, all that resin we used farming the perfect 2 vv 2 glad down the drain. Now we have to re farm the hell that is artifact rng Smoge. Im not farming the new set because the dmg increase (if i had the same exact stats) would be better yes but not worth months and months of grinding.
Hoyoverse knew Kazuha is Op support Elemental damage boost team party output. Let's see if Kazuha late rerun banner like Ganyu took whole year first rerun than Childe No were hyped anticipated chance to pull
Its too much bro, doing daily commissions, farming artifacts, fighting the weekly bosses, bounties and requests already takes a lot of time ;o
Man Definitely going for ayaka,I lost her during her first banner and now I'm still 5050,gotta save more for.her😆
Already have kazuha. So i might pull venti since i want to collect all archon. Already have ayaka and maybe wakt for ayato rerun. I hope 2.7 will have kazuha and yoimiya because i want thundering pulse and freedom sworn.
2.6 want you to build freeze team where Ayato in Mona place. And Dain return at April of every year lol.
I'm still broke from raiden shogun and EL banner… hope i'm lucky enough to get mistsplitter without spending extra $ on my main account 🙁
I also want venti for my f2p account. He might be not as useful in inazuma, but he's world exploartion is still SSS.
Ayato is an easy skip for me. He doesn't seems to offer new way to play and probably just another hydro applicator for freeze comp or another dps for national team or 5* yunjin(?) for normal atk dps. My childe is still at lv 60…xq, mona, and kokomi are 80++, so i don't think i need another hydro unit for now.
The best thing about Xingqui on my account is his refund on talent materials xD He's a great hydro unit, but for whatever reason, I just don't use him :/ I think it is because I don't really play pyro units or electro charged teams.
I got a c6 XQ on Ganyu banner and so my only question is if it gives me the shop glitter stuff or not bc I've never had a c6 unit when the free units are there
1:48 he moves forward while he attacks. i thought he was stationary too in his skill's state but i noticed how he wasn't at the same place he stated when it ended while watching his demo (for the 3rd time)
Big daddy Dain probably will drop by 3.0+ patches
Echoes of an Offering is gonna be so good with c6 fischl
you talk so fast it's impossible to actually hear what you are saying 🙁
I think I pull for Ayato. Do you think he will work well for Ayaka as a hydro enabler and a sub Dps?
I guess ill wait for kazuha in 2.7, total 40 days of waiting (*sigh*)
Venti is bait
that moment when you already have venti, ayaka and run a freeze team with kokomi who was recently rerunned so abyss is about to be a breeze
