More new enemies (actually new, not just reskins). YukiOnna you're gonna like these.

Spoiler

These new enemies look really good.

 

[BlackM1st]

As expected, Inazuma has the best desing.

Except for that stupid archon.

And fox BOI is the only one with a naked belly. Makes no sense, as we just had Yanfei with the exposed torso.

Out of all them I like the archer one the most. Gurl next to her is a literall fish/mermaid lmao, pass.

I kind of like her. It's good for a hydro character.

Wait, how?
Edit: oh, ok I saw it now. Weird, boring choice.

Ah fuck, Tohma too.

I love this design. Our first new Hydro since Chelde.

Spoiler: Kokomi

*edit*

Spoiler: Kokomi new vs. old design

I kind of like her. It's good for a hydro character.

The image has the character models, and then an icon for their element and weapon. Not a single sword so far outside of Kazuha.

Klee's banner. All the 4* characters are C6 for me but I want to try for C1 Klee. Not sure whether to try or leave it. Is her C1 worth it?

FUDGE!!!!!!
I would have at least wanted one character that wasn’t c6.
I want to roll on Klee (in the same boat as you…would love ANY constellation) but I am going to be wasting those pulls on collecting star glitter.

I don't remember if shogun's specifically used spears, but the samurai definitely used naginata's. So kinda counts.
Irrelevant to the game because I don't like polearms playstyle lmao

 

[BlackM1st]

Nope.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

sure, samurai mostly used polearms like spears or halberds, they only really used swords in battle if they didn't have other weapons; the shogun is basically the samurai overlord.

She is a women, so a naginata would make more sense for her. Naginatas are the onna-musha weapon of choice, way more than a katana.

That's true. Tomoe Gozen was one of them.

So... I want to pull Kazuha but I also want Yoimiya. Do we already know when she will be released?

 

[BlackM1st]

So... I want to pull Kazuha but I also want Yoimiya. Do we already know when she will be released?

No. It depends. Will Tanuki girl will be a banner hero or a freebie? Will she be released together with a rerun hero or as a partner for the new 5☆ hero? It's all depends on Tanuki imo. Either way I think that Ayaka will be on the 2nd banner. So YMY can be on the 1st one, before Ayaka.

 

[YukiOnna]

Ayaka is definitely going to be 1.7 Banner, yeah?

 

[Fake]

So... I want to pull Kazuha but I also want Yoimiya. Do we already know when she will be released?

If I would guess probably 1.7 with the new country.

In fact, the Genshin Impact twitter account reveal (leak) those chars at once, so is very possible they're from this new country as a part of the country addition.

Not saying will be a banner, but they could show up into the main story.

Ayaka is definitely going to be 1.7 Banner, yeah?

I guess so, is she the raiden assistence?

 

[InterMusketeer]

I expect Ayaka to be the first character on the banner in 1.7 (or 2.0, whatever they end up calling the next update) and Yoimiya to be second. People have been waiting on Ayaka since the beginning. They're gonna spend all their gems and money on what will end up being a mediocre unit, and then BAM there's Yoimiya who's gonna be a powerhouse. That's Mihoyo trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of their players. That's my totally unbiased prediction.

 

[Pejo]

My guess is Klee -> Kazuha -> Yoimiya -> Ayaka.

I think one of the leaks last week mentioned Yoimiya being the first Inazuma banner, but who knows if that's even decided by MHY yet.

That would be great for me.

I don't think she has any ties to Raiden? Just daughter of the Kamisato Clan's Yashiro Commission.

Tower defense is coming back, 10 maps this time.

Yes.

Just a loyal slave to the almighty God of Eternity.

Yeah. No connection. Nada. Who do you think is responsible for the internal affairs/atrocities in the kingdom if not the Kamisato clan?

Sure they can be held hostage and be just a powerless pawns, but that doesn't change the fact that technically she's Inazuma's princess. She's probably directly responding to the Raiden shogun and by default has lots of blood of the innocents on her hands. Doesn't matter if she actually spilled any.

IMO saying that they're not connected/has no ties is like saying that Ninng had no connection to the Geo Lord hah. Actually MiHo botched her character/story so much... Freaking funeral parlor teen girl got more respect/attention than 2nd in command Ninng. Cocogoat's role was also way downplayed and now she's just a sleepy milking meme. Not like I'm against her current status, but both girls deserve much more respect/credibility story wise than MiHo was willing to give them.

 

[BlackM1st]

Yes.

Yes. But really no. No because it's prob gonna be a 5☆ ahahah...hah...ha... ;(

 

[Pejo]

Man, fan artists are fast:

 

[InterMusketeer]

In a way I like that they don't just have characters important to the story/lore be powerful 5 stars, but on the other hand it is kinda weird how some key figures are swept aside in favor of actual nobodies.

 

[Saber]

My guess is Klee -> Kazuha -> Yoimiya -> Ayaka.

I think one of the leaks last week mentioned Yoimiya being the first Inazuma banner, but who knows if that's even decided by MHY yet.

I'm guessing Ayaka will come sooner than Yoimiya, because Ayaka was already long in the game so theres no mystery in her kit/gameplay(unless they changed). Yoimiya on the other hand is a first timer.

Tower defense is coming back, 10 maps this time.

Fucking hell.

I thought Inazuma operates under the belief of different kami in the land so I assumed shrines dedicated were entirely separate. Of course, since she's a main character you're probably right that the Kamisato Clan has direct ties to Raiden.

Don't get me wrong, I actually love Eula after playing around with her for a while, but she was dropped as a literal who in the Mondstadt story. Not a single mention of her or her family before the patch. Now apparently she was there all along just out doing stuff. That's just how it's gonna be, unfortunately.

I was wondering if somebody was going to remake this old classic, and they did, with Klee:

I hope this is the true design or skin for later.

Word. Sad, but true. And they had the whole 2nd city story ark to make both girls work and establish them as the real power duo before the avalanche of the new heroes. Instead we visited Ninng's office once and saw exactly 1 shot of brooding Cocogoat in the background.

Ganyu, for me at least, was one of the most boring character stories too. "I can't fit in with humans. Oh, now that we beat some bandits and stuff I guess I can try to fit in."

...not like I had any time to do it before. All those thousands upon thousands of years of doing absolutely fucking nothing to fit in lol

What are you talking about? Collecting taxes from small business owners was an edge of your seat thrill ride! It was right up there with fighting a dragon or battling a gigantic sea monster.

That would be my guess, similar to Ganyu inside Liyue. IDK, maybe a shogun bodyguard.

That's a good plot to be explore. Japan tradition and honor are quite good to be used. Ayaka maybe wants to respect her family tradition, but if the lore about this Anchor be true as Zhongli said, perhaps Baal is overturning traditions and imposing authoritarianism.

I actually more curious about

why Kazuha is wanted... maybe he refused to give his vision

Regarding your spoiler, they straight up show you why in his story 2D cutscene thing that leaked a week or so ago.

Spoiler

After his friend lost a duel with Sara (on behalf of Baal), Kazuha stole the vision and sword and ran away with them. The vision lost power when his friend died at the hands of Baal's ultimate move. Baal is trying to collect all of the electro visions, so that would make him an enemy.

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.
