As long as they clarify that it's 100% speculation and don't pose as Mihoyo Experts(TM) leading the rest of the fandom astray.

I know what you mean. I always wish I could see Xiao whenever I go to Wangshu Inn.

This uploader never cease to entertain me with his dirty tactics.

But I have to object, this dirty deed definitely is not dirt cheap.

My battle pass menu dissappeared from my game screen this morning, is it just me or everyone as well?

It always disappears like that after it expired. It will return when the new one start.

[Diluc]

That a relief, I was afraid it is a bug or something.

I just saw this thread. I thought it weird that it's not located in the mobage section, and then I remembered you can play it from PC too.

I played from near launch and stopped in December. I really like everything about this game, even the gacha, because I don't have any desire to pay anything (due to insane rates and also very playable lower rarity chara) to pull other than grinding for gems and pulling banner everytime I have enough for a ten.

But sadly, it is too much of a time-sink for me so I had to uninstall. I could actually stay pretty casual, the world quests and map won't run away. But I struggle (time-wise) to complete weeklys, and during events, I will always make sure to clear shop. Sure, I can ignore them, but it really bothers the part-OCD in me that I am skipping over the (more value-for-time) F2P rewards so much that I have to uninstall to keep me from spending too much time on the game.

But good job mihoyo for making such a great and addictive game.

[AnimeFangirl]

No problem with uninstalling. Limited time events are only a small part of what makes the game good. The rest is exploration, world quests, leveling, characters, etc. In other words, if you ever have time to kill in the future, you'll be able to pick it up again without losing out on much.

With new Dainsleif quest in 1.3, we finally know the story behind this clip from our chosen MC perspective.

[AnimeFangirl]

They're not gonna reunite till 2025 (conservative estimate) so I don't know why they bother teasing this stuff.

[Sheba]

Because they know that it keep people speculating about future story points, and with engagement, people keep interest in the game. It worked for Honkai Impact and Fate/Grand Order (like people speculating about the remaining Crypters in Part 2,etc..).

It's the proverbial breadcrumbs.

I'm really tempted by the Keqing banner, but I've been hearing all the time how Electro gets the shaft since Melt and Vaporize reactions overpower any other elementals due to being able to crit.

Electro indeed has multiple caveats when you are dealing with the end game:
-Reactions are really subpar, although one could argue Pyro is the outlier. Overload is a huge mixed bag because the damage is capped at a meager 2406 damage at lvl90 prior any Elemental Mastery modifier with knockback that disrupt your dps against smaller targets (it is however useful against Geo Shields). Electro charged deals 1443 damage per tick which is also pretty mediocre (unless you spam it non stop which is possible with Tartaglia + C6 Fischl). Superconduct is probably the saving grace: it deals only 601 damage at most, but the -40% physical defense for 12 seconds is noticeable for carries like Razor. Overall, you can tell none of them really help Keqing to do massive damage
-Resonance looks fair on paper but an electro based team isn't particularly impressive because most of their elemental burst don't actually deal massive damage on their own.
-Electro characters don't have great synergies in general. You usually pick your main Electro and Fischl. Any other combination is scuffed.

Element aside, Keqing suffers from requiring proper stamina management: regardless if you go with Physical or Electro, her best damage output rotation is basically NA1 + Charge rinse and repeat until you have no stamina or if you have to reapply her skill infusion if you are playing Electro Keqing.

She is fun to play with lots of versatility, but if you are looking for a super carry, she isn't really the best for that. Things would have been quite different if she was Pyro, but then again, Pyro is way too strong compared to the rest, while Ganyu is a outlier since she is one of the very few carries who can outright ignore reactions and deal nukes.

[Shadow5YA]

Even with Ganyu, I still need a second DPS carry to deal with Cryo-immune enemies since obviously I can't use Ganyu against the Wolf boss or Cryo slimes. Spiral Abyss needs two parties after a certain point too anyway.

I've been interested in Keqing since launch, but at this rate I might have to pass on her to roll for Hu Tao.

[Klashikari]

Just use Xiangling or Fischl as a subdps for Ganyu. I wouldn't use Keqing in such case because she doesn't really have any synergy with Ganyu, although she might be fine as the carry of your second team in spiral abyss.
There is also another "issue" with Keqingl: you have a chance to get her randomly with permanent banner rolls (aquainted fates from monthly dust exchange, ascensions, BP etc), or if you fail a coinflip in an event banner, so if you are patient and plan playing for a long time, you should skip.

[AnimeFangirl]

If you're a free player, you should hold off on Keqing. She's good, but there are many better for all the reasons Klashikari explained. But if you have money to spare, why not? It's fun to have characters you love on your roster, and 75-ish wishes won't break the bank.

It'd take 75 just to hit soft pity. And then you'd have to hit the 50/50 (or 60/40, depending on how they handle these standard banner unit rate-ups).

So really, it's more like 80-160 rolls.

[Marina2]

One reason to roll on Keqing is Bennett if you haven't already gotten his C1. Ningguang is also great GEO DPS.

You do have a point there. Maybe I can roll just one 10x for Bennett then just so I can lower the pity for the special banner when Hu Tao arrives.

The Theater Mechanics is fun game.

My favorite towers are hydro, cyro and electro for elemental reaction.

Cyro to for slowing enemy and freeze them.
Hydro for reaction
Electro for main dps.

I am not try pyro and anemo tower yet.

How about everyone?

[Marina2]

I mainly use hydro, Cyro and Pyro with character Ganyu (for her AOE charge shot to freeze enemies)

When group of enemies are frozen in place, 1-2 Pyro towers can kill them really quick.
