>>2033877 i thought it was weird that sandrone and columbina weren't there to get final revenge on dottore, but thinking about it it's the wrong segment isn't it? this time it was wanderer getting revenge on the segment that fucked with him.
>>2033882 it's technically the same segment, he just split his soul in two, one half went to nod-krai and the other was kept locked up in northland bank until pantalone injected it into irminsul somehow. the 35 year old segment is the one who was responsible for most of the bullshit and was perfectly fine with deleting all the other segments for his own personal advantage.
Passionate hand holding with my genocidal wife Jeht >>2033882 Moon Heretic Dottore died died When he died Pantaloons injected Irminsul with the other half of Dottore's soul into the Leylines and then the two halfs joined together
"Today, we gather here with heavy hearts to mourn our friend... "...Though the world took so much from her throughout her life, she chose to save it nevertheless. And even though she gave so much to those she called her friends, we have no choice but to bid farewell to her in this way... "May she rest in peace in her homeland, where she shall lie reunited with those she had loved and lost... "May we meet again one day, in another land, at her tea party."
>>2034229 "This world is beautiful, more beautiful than you or I can imagine. So go. Do what you want to do, and seek out your own desires, my child. Just remember, your life belongs to you." — Alain Guillotin's last words
"You would always say nasty things and act indifferent... But I've always known you to be brave, kind, and strong... You will always be my best friend." — Columbina, bidding farewell to Sandrone's remains
◆ Name: Sandrone ◆ Title: Mirrored Analysis ◆ The Seventh of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers ◆ Stellar Linchpin: Cryo ◆ Constellation: Narcissorolegium
>>2034231 >Narcissorolegium my 2 years of latin in high school fail me. is legium meant to be like legere? which is collecting, or gathering i believe? or maybe its meant to be legio? legion of narcissus?
>>2034249 maybe it's regium but they are using a l otherwise you roll to many r's? so royality of narzissenkreuz ordo? or just narcissus. maybe they put a C there instead of a Z just so it can be a double reference
>>2034677 I mean, neither did Columbina. She just gave us a generic answer of helping the Tsarista and then never elaborated on WHY she was helping the Tsarista. Hell, we are friends with Childe, Columbina, and Kino and none of them even remotely hint at or explain what her plan even entails outside of the Gnosis or why they're risking their lives with extremely convoluted plots getting them. The Tsarista even had a hit order out for Columbina and she still refused to explain anything.
You'd think they'd want Traveler on their side but no, everyone has to be vague and refuse to answer anything, even when you have stuff like Columbina's entire story and character arc happening.
>>2034885 >neither did Columbina what? Dumbbina outright said that she got suckered in by the thought of true belonging, that the Tsaritsa wouldn't treat her like the Frostmoon Scions did. Once she realized, she got out Dumbdrone on the other hand, nobody knows what her deal is joining Fatui. Everyone else got explained except for her. >everyone has to be vague and refuse to answer anything that is why I am going to shake the Moon Goddess until she gives me the answers and the primogems
you can make some guesses as to why sandrone joined based on her notes/diary, but she hasn't been released as a playable character yet, so she has no SQ or pseudo-SQ baked into AQ thats why we don't know that much about her yet there are also a lot of questions about nicole, the game isn't going to give you a autobiography for everyone. maybe one day we will find out who the fuck xingqiu's brother is too
>>2035132 >but she hasn't been released as a playable character yet Columbina explained why she joined (and why she left) well before she became playable because some things shouldn't be left hanging (and she should have explained what she did for the Tsaritsa but dumb moon goddess as usual)
>>2035101 >she got suckered in by the thought of true belonging, that the Tsaritsa wouldn't treat her like the Frostmoon Scions did I must be remembering this wrong. I could have sworn that she got out because Dottore specifically got obsessed about experimenting on her due to her nature which bothered her a lot, and once she was done being useful to the Tsarista via Dottore she left.
>>2035182 When the Tsaritsa send Sandrone, Dottore, and Columbina to Nod-Krai she made Columbina do something which drained her of most of her power Columbina realized that the Fatui don't give a shit about her and just wanted to use her for her powers like the Frostmoon Scions so she dipped
>>2035219 if you are on fielding her you want her on ocean hued clam, otherwise she is going to want tenacity of the millelith to buff team atk since her skill will have 100% uptime now.
>>2034885 >Childe He is a soldier following orders. He also has a desire to fight everything that is strong(er than him) so he doesn't mind being sent into the meat grinder. >Peruere She killed the original Knave and would have gotten severe punishment for it but the cryo archon thought she was useful so she became the next Harbinger. Loyalty aside, Kino owes her I guess. >Colombina I cannot remember. I will assume the cryo archon's goal of fucking with the heavenly principle order with the gnosis and her power aligned with her desire to be freed from the fake moon and sky.
That seems to be the recurring thing with the harbingers. They are there because they are assholes(Dottore, og Knave), have a grudge against gods or those above (Pierro, Scaramouche, I think Capitano, maybe Colombina), or they just sort of earned that role (Pantalone, Childe) I wonder where Rooster falls.
>>2035400 Now that you mention it, she's really without any mechanical motifs. Either she got upgraded to super modern tech or she's no longer a clanker.
Not him, but I'm currently at the chess-style part with Dain and Rerir. How much do I have to play to catch up? Also, will do the Dornman Port area afterwards.
>>2035853 you have a ways to go, its hard to give an exact time but iirc that is about halfway through act 4 and there are 10 acts to nod-krai's archon quest.
>>2035825 If you do it in bite-sized pieces you can get through it with an hour a day. It really is kind of ridiculous how long it is though. The new progression system for quests also helps a lot since it saves constantly, unless that's not backwards compatible with older quests.
The green woman is insanely hot. Btw, I wish they would change the pose for tall females when sitting on chairs/benches to the cross-legged one. Or at least an option.
>>2036281 >technically the past isn't changing Columbina giving birth to herself before it happened in a time fuckery prison Direidyth whatever the hell Istaroth did with Makoto so that the tree existed always before Raiden planted its seed but it couldn't exist without the seed being planted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE5MofefW5c The text on the last page says "Through their own bravery, Durin and his companions were able to defeat a formidable foe" I don't understand why this was released now but it was a neat little anecdote I suppose
>>2036792 You need at least 3 different elements. For instance, take Nefer, Lauma, Bina, Ineffa as an example. Use Bina and Ineffa at the beginning until he produces two pillars, one hydro, one electro. Then swap to Lauma and Nefer to quickly destroy the pillars and continue to deal dmg to the boss. You can use other teams, but ideally deal PECH damage to the boss, then use an opposing element to destroy the pillars.
>>2036815 You don't need Varka. You can do it with Sucrose. Just give her lots of ER.
>>2036867 as a matter of fact, Zibai does work quite nicely! I got away with only Columbina and Ororon unfortunately, Ineffa isn't enough to take down fearless wolf and electro swirl takes forever to break that damn ward
>>2036599 You know, I don't get why they don't provide their alternate outfits for free when they've already done the work. They literally just have to allow you to use the model, clipping be damned. Why doesn't Navia have her Simulanka look, Scaramouche his Harbinger look, or now Sandrone and her original dress? Just provide it as a free reward if you did the event, beat him in Sumeru, or did her story respectively.
For a good minute, I thought Nicole had a special interaction with Durin I used Durin's burst, where he says "the story has only just begun", and i switched over to nicole which cut durin off from saying "begun", i pressed nicole skill and i thought she said "begun" for him i thought they made it so that nicole would finish the voice lines for hex characters if you cut them off by switching and then using her skill but she actually says "begone" for one of her skill lines and i heard it wrong
>>2036957 the last time they gave an outfit for free or at a reduced price one of the players got mad and reported hoyo to the chinese kgb or some shit for having lewd characters -- which is/was haram in china, and is also why there are more censored versions of mona and jean. The chinese government generally overlooks genshin's haram doings because of how much revenue and taxes it generates. But yeah it's pretty lame
>>2037039 is it the star shape? i think for nicole it makes sense since that star shape is very closely related to HP, but i really don't know why khanri'ahns have it
Does anyone know if there's a Miliastra Ode history tracker? Paimon for some reason doesn't have it and the only other tracker I know of (Stardb) doesn't do it either. I think there's some Github project but it requires you to manually set up a website to track it locally so I don't think that's worth the effort.
>>2037188 i doubt one exists. i don't know about stardb but paimon.moe is barely maintained anymore, the guy who originally ran the site quit so it will probably never have it.
>>2037564 I also hoard those. I think I've probably used less than 10 or 12 of them. At first I was gonna save all my shit for the tsaritsa and then use everything max her her out in a day or two, but I don't really care anymore. It's pretty rare I ever want more resin, and when I do the teapot resin and the 5 I've saved up are like 3 or 4 days worth of the regular resin.
>>2037564 >and daily rotating domains Friendly reminder that every time a new banner rolls out (so twice every patch) there's a whole week where you can farm every material at any given day. It doesn't solve the rotating domain problem but it's definitely helpful.
>>2037691 >why mizuki I just got her C1 and wanted to try it out strategy was just prep Arle's bond of life while doing the standard bineffa wheelchair with Mizuki as the driver Drop Mizuki burst when the pillars drop and then whack them with Arle until the next elemental absorb cycle began Ideal is to get hydro absorbed since those die way faster, but it's kinda hard to control with this team so it usually ended up with 1 hydro 1 electro
this theater cycle was a pain, whoever decided to put the baptist into the arcana fight should pay for his crimes btw, do we even have enough time left to complete the set? there are 14 arcana left and we only get one card per month. I guess we might complete it at the very end of snezhnaya
>>2037772 >btw, do we even have enough time left to complete the set? why wouldn't we have time? Snezhnaya isn't the final nation, act ??? Khaenri'ah awaits but the only way you'll get all the cards before Snez ends is if Snez goes past August 2027 and who knows what is going on there
What's the best way to deal with this dumb wolf in Stygian, feels like it's not even made for Varka, Nicole and Durin, they're terrible at clearing the mechanic, plus anemo resist lol
>>2037859 >skill (press), attack, attack, attack, etc or >skill (hold) >burst skill(hold)×2 for bigger numbers, but you have to wait for cooldown or time it properly, such as: >skill (hold) >swap to other characters and do shit >skill (hold) >burst Or combine it >skill (hold) >other characters bs >burst >skill (press), attack, attack, attack, etc
>>2037905 Don't you need optimal combos and stuff for her to be good? I'm using Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Shenhe and I can barely damage the hydro guy. Skirk is C0R1 65/220 I lowkey need Furina because Skirk is using 4pc MH
>>2038087 Furina's still good there, people generally don't slot her in for her real damage anymore, so she's fine. She'll still drain health for MH and buff your team.
Alternatives are Rosaria for crit, Charlotte for faster fanfare+ThrillingTales or Citlali for Scroll+ThrillingTales But I don't think they surpass Furina's burst here.
>>2038093 >Rhinedottir betrayed everyone and ruined nations in order to create the human she and the witches thought would preserve the world but doesn't no matter how many times the witches try to explore the possibilities they gave up. Tenoch's tribe died for nothing, the Traveler's journey is not and never will be Albedo's role. and maybe Nicole's ascension lines about fighting Rhinedottir mean something, maaaaybe they don't
>>2039285 all this tells me is that i don't have to worry about any hoyo game going EoS anytime soon since they can afford to throw away almost 15 billion usd on ai research that they themselves believe might lead nowhere.
>do the new archon quest Holy shit that shit dragged. It didn't need to be eight fucking hours; whoever was in charge of story pacing should be fired/demoted.
>>2039445 Idiot We got like 31 days until Sandrone If you use 3 condesed every day with an average of 10-11 Artifact per day with lets say 50% of them is the superconduct set You will have 5 artifact times 30 150 artifact you might get lucky to get 1 or 2 good one, the Rest you can craft, 2 Now and 2 When Sandrone gets released.
>>2039519 >the Rest you can craft What? is her set going into the strongbox, or do you mean the elixir thingy? I have like 36 elixirs that I plan to use one day before 6.7 and then during 6.7.
Remember when Capitano talked about the three scholars that helped him track down the Gnosis and Mavuika had no idea who they were and then they were never brought up again? What was up with that
>>2039561 >Remember when Capitano talked about the three scholars that helped him track down the Gnosis He literally says that they helped him track down the ancient dragon tech that Capitano intended to use. A quick refresher, Capitano didn't manage to get Mavuika's Gnosis so he went with his plan B, which needed dragon tech. His three scholars found the dragon tech, not the Gnosis.
>>2039568 Mavuika wasn't looking for ancient dragon tech so she had no reason to go looking for scholars like that? And without a motive, there's no way she would simply know about that. The President doesn't know that I do weird AI research in my basement, it's kinda the same thing.
>>2039570 I dunno, she seems to know literally everyone else in Natlan and it's weird how they make a point of her saying her investigation missed them
>>2039561 I mean The 3 Scholars research just helped Capitano find the Source Mechanism Mavuika already knew about it and where it is, she wasnt planning to use it because she knew the cost I dont really understand why she says that line tho Ofc you not gonna investage persons for info you arleady know about I think it just a writing fuck up
>>2039561 >What was up with that They were an asspull to justify how Capitano learned of the alternate option. Who they are is unimportant. Their existance is unimportant.
Genshin 2 could be a chance for them to reset and make it easier for new players to join. At this point newbs are looking at months of playing to catch up to the current story and world progress.

>>2040241 just tested it, seems to be true but only if you charge attack. her normal attack voice sounds are muted, and so are her lines when you use her skill.
>>2040272 i thought dottore was the gayest of the bunch with the way he talks. guy doesn’t even have a wife at 85, and the other two are just boys anyway.

I'm happy with Dottore boss fights. Both of them. After the fucking abysmal dogshit of gimmicks that forces you to use nightsoul gimmicks or just waste more time against a massive health sponge in the last region, having to deal with a simple massive health sponge is nice.
>>2040396 To appease the fujoshi audience they will reveal that Dottore and Pentalone created an artificial child together. Dottore has also been making zombie clones of every harbinger leading to the reveal of playable Signora, Capitano, even Crucabena from Peruere's animated prequel short.
august IT starting line up: >Yelan Aino Flins Ororon Skirk Layla there goes the later stages! yes, this is the fault of the witches and I will drown them all in the river with my bear hands
>>2043177 It was so ass that I had no ranged attacks for the horse (picked Tao instead of Yoi, as I didn't check the bosses in advance) that I had to waste a vigor foor Skirk. Ended up missing more flowers than I should have, but also I'm not giving it a second try. Fuck it.
>>2048604 the hospital on the cliff was also a message for Asmoday to take her meds but like with the recent AQ, meds only can work once closure is found (aka killing the Heavenly Principles that once enslaved her)
Been out of the loop for about a year, what's Hu Tao's best team nowadays and does it involve Columbina? Is she still stuck with CW assuming no extra conditions like Furina on the team for MH?
>>2049606 >what's Hu Tao's best team nowadays Being on the bench for Kino who is objectively better than her in every conceivable way. Realistically it's any team Kino would use. So Yelan/Xingqiu, Xilonen, and now Nicole.
>>2049606 Columbina/Ineffa will raise her team DPS numbers, but not Hu Tao's individual contributions. Those are called wheelchair teams.
Nicole+Durin is probably her best set of supports that still feels like you're playing Hu Tao, since Nicole is a Bennett that doesn't fuck with Hu Tao's HP numbers and Durin raises your vape/melt numbers significantly. Coupled with a Yelan for hydro application.
