    I'm looking forward to seeing them interact.

    Lol. Rolled for Staff of Homa. Got Skyward Spine instead. Am okay with this. Also that gets my Widsth to R5 and I'm okay with that too.

    Skyward replaces Favonius Lance on Xiao. All's well in the world.

    A bunch of the Genshin VAs got together to play Among Us, which Zach Aguilar streamed:



    I just poked around quickly, haven't listed in on the whole session yet, so I have no highlights to recommend ATM. Although surprising to hear Beau Bridgland's (Chongyun) natural British accent. Wasn't expecting that.

    Childe is sus, natch.

    Childe was not, in fact, ever an impostor

    I lost the timestamp but the funniest moment has to be right after somebody died and when the vote screen pops up, Paimon and Venti are screaming each other was the killer.

    I'm excited that we're getting a story quest for her, probably one of the best parts of every new five star character and you don't even need to unlock them first to get it.

    I love it when Hu Tao goes "Aiya....". As a Chinese guy myself it hits these wierd notes for me.

    Looks like I'm rolling for Hu Tao lol. I have every Liyue character so I might as well keep up with the collection.

    I wish you the best of luck!

    I feel like I picked the wrong character to do this with. Screenshot_20210301-091735_Genshin Impact.jpg Screenshot_20210301-091808_Genshin Impact.jpg

    I think I'm close to pity when I tried and failed to roll a C1 Xiao so hopefully it won't be so painful.\

    Then again luck seems to be on my side whenever I roll on a character banner.

    So, what can you do with Xiao Lanterns now that the event is over? I'm sitting on 307 of them.

    Release them all at once to see how badly your framerate tanks.

    I saw a video of somebody who dumped 1.2k lanterns all at once and the game slowed to a crawl on PC. I can only imagine it could legitimately crash a smartphone processor.

    So, interesting thing I found on the Genshin Impact wiki. Spoilers for upcoming character designs, many of whom we haven't seen yet.

    [​IMG]

    Hu Tao and Rosaria obviously we already know about, which if anything confirms these are legit designs, while Yunjin, Kazuha, and Shenli are probably going to be Inazuma characters. Maybe also Sayu because she seems to have a Tanuki theme going on.

    Mimi certainly is pronounced which makes me think she might be potentially the Hydro Archon, or at least somebody from Fontaine/Not-France because it's mentioned they all dress extravagantly in Fontaine.

    Yaoyao is also curious because she's actually already mentioned in-game as Xiangling's understudy. She could potentially be part of Xiangling's story quest in Chapter 2?

    Shenli is more likely Liyuen, and is theorized to be
    The human form of Cloud Retainer, based on her colour palette, and the fact that Shenli/Shenhe roughly translates to godly/mystic crane

    Yunjin is also a Chinese name. I think she was rumoured to be an opera singer, and performs on the Pearl Galley, although not sure where that information comes from.

    Mimi, Sayu, and Kazuha are definitely Inazuma characters. Hopefully 4 stars, and I’m glad to see another Catalyst tbh. Those users are so rare and we need more.
