Have they released the details on buying the costumes yet?

Admittedly I have not played the game since mid may so I am a bit out of it content wise.

*long whistle* so…$30 bucks of you buy two of the $14.99 genesis crystal top ups.

You would have some crystals left over but damn that’s crazy.

I would say it's not worth it for "Grandma"ster Jean's skin. Barbara's is worth it for free during the event but I wouldn't pay for that one either.

So it looks like (finally) a reliable leaker has posted Yoimiya's real kit including constellations. It looks like she can function either as a pyro ranged carry OR an off field support with her burst that works almost exactly like Childe's DoT thing (spreads to other enemies on death, ticks damage etc). It seems you really want C1 if you want to use her as Pyro applicator though, so I better get to saving.

As a main dps she can imbue Pyro and has level 2 charge like Ganyu, and her level 2 charge fires up to 3 homing arrows. Mobile players should love this if they actually want to use a bow. She's like a combination of Childe/Fischl/Ganyu, with pieces of each of their kits.

Anyways, the full kit:

Ryukin Kumomagusa
---

Yoimiya follows her own creation, the Ryukin Kumomagusa and leap into the air, firing firework arrows in front of her, dealing AOE pyro dmg and tag one of the enemy hit with Ryukin Flare

When part members (excluding Yoimiya herself) hit an enemy under the effect of Ryukin Flare with their normal attack, charged attack, plunge attack, elemental skill and elemental burst, an explosion will occur dealing AOE pyro dmg.
If an enemy under the effect of Ryukin Flare was defeated, the Ryukin Flare will be transferred onto another enemy nearby and will continue from the remaining duration. Ryukin Flare will only explode every 2s. When Yoimiya is defeated, the effect of Ryukin Flare generated by Yoimiya’s skills will also disappear.

Normal Attack – Firework Show
---

Normal attack will fire 5 consecutive shots with the bow.
Charged attack have 2 charge levels. Charge level 1: shoots an arrow with flame, dealing pyro dmg
Charged level 2: A max of 3 flame arrows will be fired depending on charge duration. These flame arrows will auto track nearby enemies and dealing pyro dmg on hit.
Plunge attack: shoots a rain of arrows in the sky, and quickly plunge into the ground dealing AOE dmg.

The Flame Blazing Dance
---

Lights up strings of firework, and make the flame revolve around Yoimiya. During the blazing dance, Yoimyia’s normal attack will be converted to pyro, dealing pyro dmg and increasing the dmg of normal attack.

During the blazing dance, charged attack level 2 will no longer generate the tracking arrow. The blazing dance effects will be removed when Yoimiya is switched away.

-------------------------------------------

Akadama Ryukin
- Increase the duration of Ryukin Flare by 4s. Additionally, when an enemy is defeated under the effect of Yoimiya’s own Ryukin Flare, Yoimiya’s attack will increase by 20%, this lasts for 20s.

Delivering fire with a million lanterns
- When Yoimiya’s pyro dmg causes a crit, she will gain an additional 25% pyro dmg bonus in the next 6s. Yoimiya will still gain this effect even if she is off-field.

The flame trick
- +3 to the Flame blazing dance, max level is now lv15

The experience of a fireworks professional
- When Yoimiya’s own Ryukin Flare causes an explosion, the CD duration of Flame blazing dance is decreased by 1s.

Summer fest Nishiki-e
- +3 to Ryukin Kumomagusa, max level is now lv15

Potential flow of the stars
- During the Flame blazing dance, when Yoimiya uses her normal attack, there is a 40% possibility that an additional flame arrow will be fired, dealing 50% of the original damage. This dmg is regarded as a normal attack dmg.

*edit*

Looks like Tohma got a minor redesign too. Left is new.

And here we finally get something about Electro Traveler kit. Honestly they sound like they're going to be an amazing battery after this one. I might actually use them as support.

Elemental Burst: Revolving Thunder
---

Calls upon the thunder to surround the character, knocking back nearby enemies and dealing electro dmg. When the thunder is surrounding your character on the field, normal attacks and charged attacks’ hits will summon thunderstrike, dealing electro dmg to opponents. When thunderstrike hits an opponent, it will generate energy particles for the current character. A thunderstrike can only be summoned every 0.5s.

Normal Attack: Shocking Foreign Lightning
---

Normal attack: Performs up to 5 consecutive strikes
Charged attack: Consumes the stamina and immediately strike forward twice.
Plunging attack: Plunge into the ground from the air, dealing AOE dmg to opponents in the surrounding.

Lightning Shadow Blade
---

Perform a slash which strikes out three lightning shadows. The lightning shadows will deal electro dmg to opponent and leave a magatama when it hits an opponent. Initially, you can only produce maximum two magatamas. Using abilities will clear away the magatamas produced. The magatama will be absorbed when it is near the character, and the character will gain the following effect: Regenerates elemental energy, and in a certain duration, increase elemental energy recharge proficiency.

-------------------------------

Shunrai
---

Increased the maximum amount of magatama produced to 3 when unleashing Lightning Shadow Blade.

The Raging Thunders
---

When thunder strikes caused by Revolving Thunder hits an opponent, it will decrease the opponent’s electro res by 15s, this lasts for 8s.

Continuous Thunder
---

+3 to Revolving Thunder, max level is now 15.

Unpredictable Thunderstorm
---

When a character absorbs the magatama produced by lightning shadow, the following effects will take place: If the current character’s elemental energy is below 35%, the magmata’s energy regeneration will increase by 100%.

The Wild Thunder
---

+3 to Lightning Shadow Blade, max level is now 15.

The Thunder of God Which Shook the Earth
---

Each time Revolving Thunder triggers 2 lightning strikes, the dmg of the next lightning strike will increase by 100%, and regenerate an additional 1 elemental energy for the current character.

I am on AR43 and I don't know what to do at the moment. For farming artifacts I am still too low and the bosses don't drop the good stuff I guess.

I farmed books last week during the event to skill the talents of my core group and now I am farming the material bosses.

Still I need more level material and now even more, because I rolled on the Eula banner last night and just got her, it was not even a pity roll.

I hope 1.6 brings opportunities to earn more hero's wit. I do need a lot now.

btw. why does everybody and their mother need those damn resistance books.

Only started on Liyue quest tonight, cos I needed to be at least AR 23 to start it. That meant I had to do a bunch of other world quests, and explore the world. But that's all done now. I was starting to get tired of repeating the dailies and doing other meaningless stuff. But starting the Liyue quest has brought back the good vibes. This is where the game is at its best.

My main character is level 30 (Traveler), but the rest are around 20. The latest story boss (one that haunted girl summons) was doing like 2k damage in a single big hit on my characters with 3-4k health. So yeah, difficulty is ramping up. It seems like this questline is meant to be level 30+.

Anyway, having a good time!

Edit: Yeah, the OST is absolute fire!

Sorry you didn't get her, but being completelly honest you aren't lose much.
Shes a heavy damage dealer alright, but her gripe is that she focuses on her skill as a main source of damage. And since her elemental skill sacrifices HP, you won't be using it on most of situations unless is out of dire necessity.

I also hope that Inazuma is like Liyue and will be huge place to explore again. That was the most fun in the game. Even the mountains, to get all the secrets.

Yeah I remember that mofo , one of the hardest early game fights. But it really depends if you have a decent carry or not. I had Klee since day 1 and it's a day and night difference. Pull some 5☆ asap and you'll enjoy the game much more ;)

No, I've only used them on a single 10 pull on Eula banner. Before that, I've only used the beginner banner. I haven't used any other currency.

So with all the leaks yesterday, I think I've decided to keep saving until Yoimiya and try to C1 her. The only thing that would change my mind is if her Burst is 80 energy. In that case, it's too hard to maintain and use her as an off-field Pyro applicator. Otherwise, I really like Kokomi and Sara. I hope they're both 4* honestly. Pretty sure Kokomi is for sure, but the jury's out on Sara. Ayaka has never interested me personally despite a lot of people liking her, mostly because of her dash, but also because I don't need any more Cryo DPS.

Honestly, after reading Electro Traveler's kit, I'm really excited to see their support potential. Seems like the perfect partner to Eula.

Clones aren't basically a bad thing imo. But if they clone and didn't improve or try anything new on it, then thats the problem.

Also, competition should be enought to make Mihoyo do something drastically with content. The quality of content and events nowadays are depressing.

Sorry If already brought up by someone, but I think you might want to look at Punishing Gray Raven finally getting a Global launch. I know it's closer to a Honkai competitor but the more action gachas we have globally, the better.

I give them a lot of credit when it comes to the soundtrack; I've put many hours into this game and I'm not tired of the music. I particularly enjoy most of the Dragonspire tracks, Ganyu and Zhongli's themes, and the haunting music that plays in Stormterror's lair.

Inazuma is just using a bunch of strings and flutes I've heard a thousand times already; the ost sounds pretty much like every feudal japan anime out there, I was really hoping they'd go harder, but it's just a bunch of samey safe melodies.

I was expecting at least one track hitting as hard as:

Dunno about this.
Kaz looks like a good substitute for Venti. And Venti is an absolute game changer - and xirz's also not gonna return any time soon. He doesn't really need a carry at this point, and he'll easily pull one - Razor is kinda common for example, he's awesome and he's on Kaz's banner.

Raz, Bennet and Rosaria. Best possible banner.

I'll get the ninja girl, but I kinda dissapointed she is not dendro yet implemented. Really suit her well.


IMO Kaz is very superior in the build question. All I see about Venti is spamming his skill/burst, while Kaz is a sword user, there is a loads of good swords to use and he is not locked to just spamming skill/burst, as his kit suggest.

Sword users are far more versatile than other users.

Yea looking at this banner from a new player perspective, this is a pretty great banner. If you get all 4 of those characters, that's actually a really solid team.

No. Maybe yeah. But no. All those scrubs can be easily removed from game if you have Klee. I'm dead fucking serious as I never, NEVER used any of them to clear 12-3. Let alone playing with them in the overworld. Great 5☆ DPS >>>> team of scrubs. Noelle and Klee is all you need to clear current content except maybe for the Abyss. But who in this thread cares about team comps, let alone using them to clear the Abyss lol

Venti was a gamechanger for you? On his 2nd banner, so late in game? That's probably your subconscious trauma talking. You were traumatized by not having a strong DPS carry for so long(till Xiao iirc). Yea, Kaz's banner is ok I guess... but who the fuck needs 4 heroes when you can use just 1 and annihilate everything.
