Genshin Impact

[Kevinnn]

was gonna attempt Kinich C1 or C2, but as I got closer to soft pity decided to hold off and try the 5050 for Xilonen. She's not really my cup of tea aesthetically (sadly the case with almost the entirety of Natlan lol) but is second to Kinich, just by a longshot. I'll take rollerblading overworld over cons!!

Genshin Impact's 4th year anniversary just recently passed, and because of this Hoyo put out a music video to celebrate the game, which by the way is AMAZING.

I hope everyone has enjoyed this game over the years, and here's to even more fun! ​

 

[Sharksheep]

Skipping Xiloxen which is sad cause her animations are so nice and she would be the first Geo character I want too. Zhongli I only have cause of his usefulness not cause I like him that much as a character

Going to hope for a C1 Nahida and throw whatever else I got while her banner is up.

 

[Emolga59]

Rly hope I can get cheveruse soon! I haven’t been playing as much recently but I got raiden so I kinda want her for an overload team

 

[Flaming_Oceans]

Not sure who I'll pull for from Natlan yet, if I even decide to go for anyone that is. Maybe I'll get the pyro archon if her kit is interesting.

 

[Chere.]

I'm not a fan of any of the Natlan characters design-wise tbh, but I do want to pull 1-2 at the very least so I can at least add some Natlan characters to my roster, especially since Hoyoverse seems to like adding special gimmicks specific to characters who are native to the most recent region. If I recall correctly, for Natlan it's like nightsoul's blessing or something? I haven't looked too much into it since I don't have any Natlan characters (sorry Kachina you don't count since I don't wanna build you skfdkgfk). I remember Fontaine's thing was ousia and pneuma, and while it wasn't end all or be all, I have to say that once I finally got my first Fontaine character, it made exploration much more fun and convenient (shoutout to the dolphin jumping lol).

With that said, I was convinced Xilonen would be an easy skip, but after digging deeper into her kit and watching early access showcases, I'm feeling tempted to pull her. It would be nice to get a Natlan character in 5.1, since I waited until 5.2 for my first Fontaine character which felt really long kafdkgkf. That would also knock off my checklist of having at least one Natlan character, so I'd be okay with skipping the rest if no one else resonated with me. I'd hope to get at least two in the long run, but I'll have to see how I feel.

 

[Midoriya]

Xilonen teaser is out by the way! I really loved this one. However, I decided I'm probably just going to C2 her as her C6 doesn't seem like it "helps" anyone but herself. Definitely going for her signature weapon as well though.

Good luck to everyone wishing on these banners and I hope you get the character(s) you want!​

 

[Kevinnn]

Attempting the 5050 for Xilonen and having my fingers crossed.

I built up 67 pity seeing if I can snipe a C1 Kinich but nothing came, was gonna full on commit to C2 if it came home but he wants to stay C0

While Xilonen is what I would think is my second aesthetic character I like (far from Kinich but its ok, Chasca is also close second), I wouldn't be that upset if she didn't come home; at least the Archon would be next up. Just the wait in between patches..

 

[Sharksheep]

Checked my pity today but I'm pretty high. I have enough to try for Kinich but I'm going to try to hold strong until the second half of the next patch.

 

[Midoriya]

Character trailer is OUT for Xilonen! I'm SO excited!

I have over 37,000 Primogems saved up now by the way. :3​

 

[Midoriya]

I'm so over the MOON right now because I got Xilonen C2 and her signature weapon without having to spend any money at all!

How it played out is my very first 10-pull on the banner I lost to Diluc, then I got her later guaranteed. Won the weapon for her on my first try and then got a CAPTURING RADIANCE for her C1 with absolutely no streak, and then got her C2 after being guaranteed again with the last of my shop exchange pulls.

Couldn't have asked for a better wishing session to be honest! All 37,000 of those Primogems are gone, but now I have Xilonen C2 + her weapon and am most likely going to be able to reach 1 million damage with Navia's skill

Spoiler: pull screenshots

 

[Midoriya]

And I DID IT! I reached 1 million damage on Navia's skill! The dream is realized!

(I lowkey had to crown Xilonen's skill and then wish for her C3, but it was soooooo worth it )

 

[Midoriya]

Just came here to report that I triple-crowned Xilonen! I didn't really have any other characters I wanted to triple-crown, so it was worth it imo.

Also, here's another image of Navia hitting 1.1 million damage in a domain for me.

 

[Snap Crackle Pop]

I wasn't sure if I have posted in here recently but I see that I have not, or at least I haven't since the new patch was released (which was pretty recent). I am happy to announce that I was able to get Xilonen though she did not come as early as I had hoped she came before I ran out of primogems and I did not need to use my giftcard funds that I have sitting in the playstation store. This gives me plenty of time to save for future characters though I am lowkey thinking of her C2 since it is such a big buff but I may hold off until her rerun if I am being honest. I also completed leveling her up with the help of some friends since Xilonen's boss is a pain to fight alone. I do need to level up her talents but the talent domains are really easy and I should be able to get those done quickly. I did not wish for her weapon but did get the weapon you can craft from Natlan but the ascension materials are annoying to get (the enemies are weirdly hidden in Fontaine of all places lol)

I completed Mualani's talents and now just need to work on her artifacts which has been a process since I haven't gotten anything that is perfect for her yet. I'm hoping to do some artifact farming soon because it's also the domain for Xilonen as well so it's like two birds with one stone which is awesome.

 

[Midoriya]

The Sabzeruz Festival isn't voiced aside from Cyno and Paimon apparently, so I've been going through it giving all the characters voices that don't fit them, and it's been absolutely hilarious.

I also went for Xilonen's last three cons before her banner ended and won the 50/50 for both her C4, C5, AND C6. I'm enjoying the longer skating time as well as the teamwide healing with her now.

 

[Snap Crackle Pop]

Alright I have been pretty consistent with doing domains (talent and trounce mostly) so I can complete BP and complete talents for the majority of the characters I have. I still need to do some artifact farming but that is a bit harder to do on my own but my friends told me that they'd still help me with artifact domains since I need to do the higher leveled domains to get 5 star artifacts which is what I want! Genshin party weekends are still going to be happening!

I will not be pulling this phase of the patch because I am waiting to see what will be coming in the next phase and if we are going to get the archon in the next phase! I guess we will see I'm pretty excited. I do believe the archon quest is now "complete" I can't remember if there is another act or not. Either way I am super excited!

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Will be pulling for Nahida this phase < 3 Good luck to anyone who is actively pulling c:

I need to grind really hard for Primogems but my friends will be helping me explore and do chests and etc. ^^
I'll also be doing most of the Archon Quests since.. I'm really behind TT

I need at least C0 Nahida for my Raiden Hyperbloom team. I have Raiden C6, which is probably my biggest Genshin flex xD

But if I get Nahida.. my Hyperbloom Team will be unstoppable! >
I already have Hu-Tao, and pulled SoH like thrice in the previous banners, so.. not interested in either xD

I will keep going until I get Nahida!​

 

[Midoriya]

I 10 starred the new rotation of Imaginarium Theater today. Had trouble with floors 9 and 10, but thankfully was able to use both my rewinds and get the right characters + boosts to get those last stars. Thank you for saving me, Clorinde.

I'm going to be skipping all of the banners until 5.3. I already have Nahida and Hu Tao at c6, and 5.2's banners are going to be a snore for me. Mainly just in Mavuika waiting room at this point, which is fine by me.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Got Nahida! 82 pity, AND a Capturing Radiance pull as well! ^-^
Thanks to all of my besties who encouraged me to keep going.. I'm so happy!

I also finally finished the Fontaine Archon Quest! I loved seeing the end of it. Bittersweet, very emotional, but.. also really wholesome.
I've been passing time in the Fortress of Meropide to earn Credit Coupons to buy things down there with them ^^
For example; the Barbecue Ribs recipe. I wanted it so bad so I could finally start making Wriothesley's yummy signature dish! :3

I may or may not save and pull for Nahida's weapon. I currently have Kagura's Verity on her (Yae Miko's weapon).
I really want to save up for a Shenhe OR Wriothesley rerun, since Cryo is best element (imo). Cryo girlies and dudes stay winning, fr!

I look forward to playing with my friends tomorrow! :3
Can't wait to work on building Nahida for a HB team!​

Wooooo congratulations Mimi!!!!! Nahida is so cute and is really fun to play. I know you are using her for a hyperbloom team and she's going to slay in that team. I really wish I could get her weapon because it's so cute and fits her well, maybe one day when she reruns and I am not trying to save primogems for future characters. I use I think R5 Magic Guide for her, but I think her weapon depends on what kind of team she is going to be on.

I'm really excited to play with you and our little group of rats! It's going to be so much fun cause some of our friends can't play as often due to life but can play tomorrow! woohoo. Its going to be so much fun.
