genshin impact has no direct competition right now, i don't expect any 5* for free in a long time, maybe in 4-5 years similar to honkai impact.

Um... I'm not greedy or anything like that, I have 4 5☆ and I'm pretty busy farming wishes (need 40 more till guarantee), but why not throw F2P people a bone say once a year? Fucking year xD like I said, electric cat banner was a disaster, why not give her for free? Or some blue wishes? Sooner or later people will get her anyway and instead loosing 50/50 and being salty about 5☆, why not make a grand promo and show your base that you're actually care beyond empty words in Twitter? I know that they're making lots of money and have no competition, but I'm afraid they're really getting way too cheap and greedy. Free 5☆ in 4 years, lmao.

yeah i agree i'm just being realistic based on my experience with the company, they don't want to give yaoyao for free because they can make alot of money like they did with klee, they would probably give orochimaru away for free instead of yaoyao.

I wonder if they're turning Yaoyao into a 5 star. It would make sense, seeing Klee's popularity.

Oh no lol
Klee is a death incarnate , 4☆ will definitely wouldn't be able to compete with her. But looking at hu Tao's in my games... Well, not many people run her. Even less know what to do with her. I think Rosaria will never leave the coal mines too lol
Yeah, exactly.
I see you know how to have fun xD btw, are you doing the cooking web event? There's some primos in there.

So here's a video to see the general flow of Eula's gameplay. Still looks kinda boring to me. I thought she was going to have 5 floating swords behind her. Also, her Elemental Skill seems to hit smaller enemies really far away, kinda ruining the delayed effect of her burst.

Xiao was considerably nerfed from what I read. I guess his toilet plunger gameplay used to be broken on a whole different scale. Supposedly Mona and Ninguang swapped their rarities. Supposedly Hu Tao was originally a 4*. As far as movesets, I don't believe so.

Amazing. Adding NPC'S and your heroes should be trivial to MiHo. Still, great system to have in game.

Doesn't seems like a big deal. They may end up reducing her star rate.

Doubtful. Unless they swap rarity with Shenli another Cryo Claymore lady.
I mean once you get past the slow attack animations Eu La La ain't nothing special. Just pure power creep.
Her burst doesn't have sustained AoE that I would have considered her for so she's an easy pass.
She could possibly be a decent offtank but if you have C6 Noelle why waste all your time on 5* trash.
Fire Squirrel would probably give you more pow for your primo.

Thats exactly why this was my guess. Theres nothing special in her kit. Even if she ends being buff, still too simplistic for a 5 star.

Yeah, he's the cutest yet. It's pretty fucked up that the most annoying variant of this enemy type is actually the smallest one. Everything that goes up in size is a big target and is pretty easy to deal with. Actually, come to think of it, I also hate small fire flowers and small flies. Damn, there's a system to this madness...

Small flies are the worst enemy in the game. Thank god there are very few of them around.
And fuck auto targeting always going for them instead of the cicin mage.

Today my younger sister was screeching in her room and pacing in excitement, I asked her what happened, she could barely speak and just ushered me into her room and shown me that she had just got someone called Venti.
I never realised just how big of a deal this game was till now, as I am uneducated on this game, is this a big character to get?

Right now he is the strongest 5* crowd controller because he creates a strom that sucks in opponents so they can't hit you at all, he facilitates the late game content a lot, the probability to get him is 0.6% or 90 pulls for 50/50 chance or 180 pulls for guaranteed that is about 2 or three months farming.Today my younger sister was screeching in her room and pacing in excitement, I asked her what happened, she could barely speak and just ushered me into her room and shown me that she had just got someone called Venti.

I got her a £5 pack that gave you those primogems daily but she has been grinding her socks off bless her, now I see why she has been so pumped thanks for the info!

Damn, your sis is lucky. Venti is so op and easy to use. Not the strongest DMG dealer, but probably strongest character overall.
There is only 2 shoulder buttons? I dunno man, I think even on PS4 you can't change the buttons. Anyway, you'll get used to it ;D
Maybe there's a way if you go deeper in the controller's own setup and switch its internal buttons map, but I can't guarantee that it's even possible or worth the hassle just for 1 game.

i know i could use a software but i'm scared i don't even want to try it, but how could you move while you switching characters in this way i don't get it all.
BlackM1st

Um... I play on PS since PS1 man, I'm used to weird shit. Try searching "Monster Hunter Claw" lol( I never used it, but PS had its moments...)
Anyway, about your question. I dunno man. I just switch and it takes less than a second? Game is really not that demanding that you have to switch while non stop moving. Not once I thought "damn, I wish switch was on another button". Actually characters switch too fast, game can't react fast enough to a button press and I constantly getting message "can't switch character" because I'm constantly moving or doing something, so to me it's not a problem. And like I said, everyone on PS play like that so game should be kinda optimised for this button setup.

I get small heart attacks when an archer is aiming at me and I can't move while switching otherwise it feels very comfortable.

LOL, archers. Bring Noelle to your party and forget about getting any damage at all. I don't care about archers , but electric one's can be annoying, so I just dodge and switch during their reloading window. Not a big deal, really. Especially if you have Cocogoat that can 1/2 shot entire groups of small goblins. Most of the times I run around with Klee and Cocogoat, so switching is not something I'm using very often. I tried Ning and her constantly missing targets get old very fast so I went to a greener, goat occupied pastures.

Congratulations, as without really knowing much about the game at all, you just made the wisest investment you can, at least if you are going to spend money. The worst is buying primogems outright and using them to wish for characters. Here's something from the OT that you might be interested to read about, concerning why I suggest not spending money to buy wishes in this game. Note this doesn't get into the "if you make 90 wishes on the promo banner you are guaranteed either a random five star or the featured five star character" aspect of the game, as that's explained elsewhere in the OT.
Reason 1 - Wishes are way overpriced
For every 10 wishes on the promotional character banner you will get one of the following:
- A new four star character.
- A duplicate character that essentially makes that character more powerful.
- A new four star weapon.
- A duplicate weapon that can be use on a different character, or fused into the same weapon to increase its power.
Now some numbers, with currency in US dollars:
Number of primogems for a single wish = 160.
Number for a 10 pull of wishes = 1600. Math!
Cost of 980 primogems, which isn't even enough for a 10 pull = $14.99.
Cost of 1980 primogems, which of course still isn't enough to do two 10 pulls = $29.99.
The real cost for a single 10 pull = $26.67
But again, you can't even purchase the amount of gems required for a single ten pull in the game without paying more money for more gems than you need. So you're paying half the price of a brand new $60 dollar retail game for a single ten pull.
For 15 ten pulls, you're looking at $400.
And remember, each ten pull MIGHT result in a 4 star character, or it might result in a 4 star weapon, and each of those 10 wishes has a 0.6 percent chance to result in a five star. Once you've done some pulls with the money you earn in-game, you'll understand just how overpriced this is, which brings us to the second reason you shouldn't spend money in Genshin Impact.
Reason 2 - Wishes can be earned in-game.
Number of primogems that you can earn each day by doing 4 daily commissions that will take about 15 minutes = 60.
Cost of 60 primogems, which is the same amount you can make for playing the game for 15 minutes each day = $0.99
The amount of currency that a month of playing for 15 minutes a day can earn you = 1800 primogems.
So essentially, you can "make" $29.70 in real fake money, just by playing the game for 15 minutes a day over the course of a month. And that doesn't even go into all the ways you can earn primogems outside of those 15 minutes.
After playing about a month, I had over 10,000 primogems, many of which were earned through achievements or quests that can only be done once. But each new area of the game that gets added will have additional methods to earn primogems. You'll still earn pulls, but it will take a little longer.

I can't get over how boring Diluc's kit is. Mash buttons for big damage and use skill for fire effect. Absolutley no support value, no healing, no shielding, no taunt, no cc, no exploration use etc. I have him at lvl 90 with a lvl 85 Wolf's G and he decimates almost everything in front of him but he is such a bore to play that I always stick to Klee for pyro than him. Venti I feel is the best designed 5* in terms of power, support, defense and exploration value.

Absolutely fucking nothing lol
Venti is limited. Diluc is not. Venti is an Ancient God. Diluc is not. Venti is an alcoholic. Diluc is his dealer.
The first time it gives you a Fragile Resin as a reward, then it just stays in your inventory.
