Whoa, I've got really good luck today. 30 limited pulls + 2 standard pulls: Sayu, Sac Sword, a Diona constellation, Yoimiya (eight pulls away from soft pity), and a Lisa constellation. :toot:

I think I'll keep pulling for a while in hopes of C1 or C2 Sayu.

No luck on Sayu yet but I got 20 days to get her so in the mean time I get to perfect the artifact set that'll go to her and farm talent books and poo poo. Funnily enough after I got that baller ER% VV Sands I got an EM VV Sands so I'll have to pump that up and see how it turns out, but I feel like Sayu will appreciate ER% sands if she's not running a Sacrificial or Katsuragikiri.

Also I hit 5* pity on the standard banner! Will it be a weapon? Maybe that Mona I've been hoping for?

Nope, Qiqi :negative:

It was bound to happen eventually.

Rhino, you did this to me!

3 Sayus, a Ningguang, and Jean, with a Diona from standard after leveling Sayu. Gonna have to pull Yoimiya the long way. I was hoping that I would get that Qiqi luck everyone else seems to have to get my nezuko squad rolling but alas, still no Qiqi for me.

Finally, my supreme artifact route team:


You can actually swap out mid sayu roll. Feels good but the competition for Venerer EM pieces is out of control. I'm going Rainslasher with full EM even at C0. Bloodtained Greatsword is technically more EM but it's only by about 10.

lmao sayu's trial was so fun that I wasted 30 rolls to get her and instantly got qiqi'd off pity in the process, whoops. not even mad really, I wanted to collect all the standard 5* and now mona's the only one I have left to get. plus now I can guarantee a 5* of my choice in the future. rip baal tho, I swear I'll never roll an archon because I do this every time

is the rest of inazuma is being added in 2.1, right? still want to at least get sara and that would help restock my wishes

Judging from the trial, Sayu seems quite good but Yoimiya seemed a little weak for how well built she was (trial Yoimiya had over 200% crit damage, all talents at level 8, and her fancy weapon).

I also lucked into getting Sayu in a single 10-roll. Not sure how to build her and what weapon to use. It seems like the "heals for every swirl" thing could potentially actually be meaningful since you can trigger a bunch with her rolling, but that's the only thing that seems to really scale off of EM (which her main heal scales off of ATK, and I imagine you probably want some base level of ER to use her burst frequently).

One thing I'm not clear on; does her burst heal like Bennett's (with the HP threshold similarly removed by C1) and only heal on-field people in its area, or does it heal off-field party members as well? The latter is very nice to have in a healer and is my only real issue with Diona and Bennett.

Threw ten at the banner because I'm low enough to be safe. Got Sayu. Leveled her to 20, got C4 XL with the free fate. It's been a good banner! :v:

Sayu probably does more damage with an EM build than a normal build if you're doing hold E a lot (and heck if you're not doing hold E why are you using her?). I'd wait to see some more damage calculations because I'm suspecting EM is close to atk even at C0. Her healing is on-field but she gains some (less) off-field healing with her A4.

I hadn't rolled since Eula so I wanted to get Sayu, build pity for Baal, and get some crystals for the monthly fates in the shop. Got Yoimiya 20 rolls in but then got two Sayus on 4th ten pull and then stopped. Rolled on the regular banner and got a Skyward Harp. This is some crazy luck.

this is apparently just stuff from back in the 1.6 program, which is one i did happen to skip. they revealed 6 islands in concept art so we've got the 3 + 2 (2.1), Tsurumi as the final in whatever other 2.x patch they decide.

76 wishes on the limited banner, and my five star iiiiiis...

Keqing C1 :haw:. It's what I deserve for C1ing my boy Kazuha on his banner without even really trying.

Went from zero Dionas to C2 Diona :catte:

C0 Xinyan to C4 Xinyan :geno:

Got a constellation for everyone's favorite sweetie, Sucrose :3: so she's C2 now

Zero Sayus to C1 Sayu :sanix:

Also got a couple weapons I need to check out. Lion's Roar? idk

My poor wife who has way less wishes but wants Yoimiya super bad did not luck out yet. She got a Sayu, 3 Dionas, a Xinyan, and two more Beidou constellations though. Bei is one of her favorites, and having her at C4 is some consolation at least. If I could have sent her all my wishes, I would, because I like seeing her get stuff and be happy!

Thus concludes my experience with day one of the cruel tutelage of the Yoimiya.

Her Sanic roll is a cute trick, but I don't really see it being all that practical in battle versus actually attacking with a DPSer. Especially since it has the wonky pathing of aimed bows and transform dashes. Still, looking forward to see how she shapes up.

Watching some video of someone using Yoimiya with the crafted 4* and she seems quite good there (basically a bunch of fast 8-10k hits interspersed with 30ks), so there might be something off about the trial Yoimiya that causes the discrepancy.

It seems like it could do a non-trivial amount of healing if you're fighting multiple enemies and have high EM. From what I can tell you could easily get to ~700-800HP per swirl. I forget if there's a cooldown on triggering that and how many swirl reactions you could reasonably cause by rolling through a group of elementally-affected enemies, but if you could get up to several thousand full-party healing from quickly rolling through enemies that'd be pretty good.

Swirl scales heavily with level so to get the most out of EM Sayu you probably want level 80 rather than just level 60 A4 like most supports.

With a guaranteed Baal on the near horizon I didn't want to spend more than a 10-pull on this banner, but I threaded the needle and got Sayu! Looking forward to trying her out. Also, nice to just have a freaking anemo character because so far it's been just Sucrose for me.

I am tempted to try the same but I am a bit shy after I won the Ayaka 50/50 and while Sayu looks great I already have Jean and Kaz and do not especially want Cuter Amber. So gonna see how I do for a 50/50 on Baal instead, though considering Ayaka was the first and only time I won the 50/50 not especially expecting anything, maybe this will the first time I get Qiqi'd

My 5 star luck has been weird.

Yeah, he sucks. He does have a tell that he is about to be vulnerable the first time so should start burst animation before he is actually on the ground. Mona/barbara are a great help in preventing him getting his shield back.

yeah turns out the whole back half of this abyss sucks pretty hard. awful pyro cube, for some reason kairagi are the big stumpers for me on 12 but it also didn't help that the second half 12-3 ruin guys just refused to do anything resembling grouping up. for as much as kenki seems to get highlighted due to his HP total, he was a pretty fun Eula pinata.

I had no trouble with the abyss pyro cube because I brought barbara (lol). she totally destroys the shield and the stuff that restores the shield. shes only level 50 for me as well, so try that.

I finally got to the second half of the story quest in 2.0, and wow. everything involving baal was so cool. The cut scene, the fight, wow wow wow, and then the part at the end with kokomi. Mihoyo is really stepping up their game. everything in the 2.0 patch has vastly exceeded my expectations, I dunno how they'll match this with the rest of the nations. Just the contrast of liyue and mondstadt palling around and civil war on inazuma is so cool.

i was running Ayaka/Mona (has C2)/Diona/Kaz, so i don't think there's much better i could do without like stealing XQ from the first-half Hu Tao team. :shrug:

not that i've been sitting farming the overworld version of this dude but in the couple fights i tried it basically just ate poo poo in Ayaka's burst which is decidedly different from the abyss one.

They mean they lost their last 50/50 on the limited banner, so their next 5* is guaranteed to be the featured one (and they're waiting for Baal).
