  1. The plunge damage buff from her passive triggering on a single enemy per plunge put me completely off.
    Plunge attacks trade their lower speed for the high scaling AoE, theyre balanced that way…. who wants to hit ONE slime for a million damage within a group of 10, who thinks that is satisfying plunge attack gameplay?

    Anemo healer with grouping ever 12 seconds isn't bad but limiting her buff role to really only vs bosses (already making her own grouping redundant) paired with only really buffing two characters. This amount of niche doesn't cut it.

  2. I really don't like what they're doing with 5 star weapons now. You could say that part of Cloud Retainer's actual KIT is in her weapon, rather than on the character. The plunge buffing on it SHOULD have been tied to her burst or something, but they sliced it out of her kit, and put in on a weapon for you to pull for. And, worse, they seem to be carefully making it so that five star weapons almost never work very well with any other character. Add to that, characters like Wriothesley who feel deliberately hampered, in order for you to pull their C1 for them to feel good to play.

    It just kind of feels bad, knowing that yeah, I'm pulling for Xianyun, so I'm probably also going to pull for her weapon, and maybe her C1 just so she isn't noticeably subpar, rather than those things adding cool extra cherries on top.

  4. xianyun makes me so sad, she feels like a pointless character, i will pull her anyway but honestly i wished she would have been decent.

    PS: i don't think she is bad, is just clear as day that when natlan comes out everyone will want her, i'm willing to bet that either arlecchino or pyro archon will have plunge atk mechanics or something like that, i just wanted her to be good out of the box and let's be honest, she isn't

  5. Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!" That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke. I really like how it can fulfill all those abstract needs. Being able to switch up the styles and colors of glasses based on your mood is a lot of fun too! It's actually so much fun! You have those half rim glasses, or the thick frame glasses, everything! It's like you're enjoying all these kinds of glasses at a buffet. I really want Yrlan to try some on or Beidou to try some on to replace her eyepatch. We really need glasses to become a thing in Genshin and start selling them for the in game wardrobe. Don't. You. Think. We. Really. Need. To. Officially. Give. Everyone. Glasses?

  7. I really wanted Jean for my Furina team but it seems like Xianyun might be a better option for the healer slot? I would ignore her plunging bonuses completely and only use Xianyun as a VV shred team healer.

  8. Spent 2 days in new domain and got a damn good set for her. 160 percent attack percent value with 220 percent er with hakushin ring active. I can’t cry if it’s the best or not since I got so damn lucky lol 😂. Let’s see if this helps my xiao team.

  9. some leaks doing Hu Tao 6N2CJP and it looks decent, since it's 3 Vapes in one rotation, but i'm not sure if it's worth since Hu Tao's plunge attack has 'low' multiplier (basically the same as Charged)

  10. I'm looking forward to her. I'm a C6 R5 (Mistsplitter) Crit Kazuha main and I think she would fit nicely into my team. I plan to run Kazuha, C6 Faruzan, C0 Xianyun with (Oathsworn) and C2R1 Furina. In that team I could be plugin with Kauzha instead of doing normal attacks between skills.
