Cope mentality!
For my fellow Mr. Door lovers here is my mentality to deal with the injustice. I hope it may help a Valeriy wanter in dire need.
1: Valeriy is actually designed to work with Mitya! (At least from the leaks) Unlike Nefer and Jahoda whom released literal months apart. Despite literally being in every Archon quest in nod krai and being with her boss Jahoda is almost unplayable in Nefer teams. As unlike the other two nod krai carries Nefer is the most restrictive. But here is the good part. Jahoda is especially garbage on Nefer teams because of a system that is DISCONTINUED. The moon sign system! If anyone needs a reminder it is a system that makes it mandatory to have at least one non moon sign(nod krai) character. And because nefer benefits WAY more from having Columbina and Lauma (cuz moondews or whatever) than the other nod krai dps Jahoda is kinda just screwed.
2: flexibility!! If we stop being consumed by the meta an electro shielder that buffs EM is actually rather flexible. Not the most efficient but usable in many areas. Some char are restricted to just shield *cough Wriothesley*, he can be used as a replacement for ineffa on Flins teams, and if the high electro application is true he can be an on field driver (hyper bloom or something). And if we are going to play future impact the rumored dendro reaction has electro in it (at least it did in theater). And what would dendro reactions be if they didn’t work with elemental mastery. This is just extra stuff he can be used in as his meta usage is most definitely Mitya but for those who just want to explore or don’t like Mitya (how could you!) there are options.
3: mentality towards Hoyo’s treatment of men and 4 stars: we know it’s shit. Cuz why on gods green earth is there 2 super conduct 4 star sustain males??? No stellar swirl 4 star!?!? Like sure some people don’t have c6 diona and beidou heck I have more cons on qiqi than I have cons on both 4 stars combined! But still! On another note some people are complaining about Flins being the weakest Nod krai dps and out of the 3 being the only male. But… well there’s only 3. It was going to be imbalanced. And on the point of being the “weakest” yes number wise that’s true but I think he is arguably the most versatile. He is electro so he can slot in cryo and use stellar conduct for the weaker Stella shill bosses and he has the most bosses in Stygian. (Not sure if Zibai or Nefer can just slot others as easily). And for dire Stygian this level of power is more than enough. And this goes for ineffa as well. If you hate Flins don’t pull him and play bineffa. If you hate bina use Aino, if you hate ineffa just use Fischl Durin or something (that’s what I do. I don’t hate ineffa). I just used the extra pulls on getting C1 (which makes him WAY more fun). Now coming back to Mr.door I think we are all disappointed he isn’t 5 star. But I honestly like a flexible 4 star where I can just put in a lot of places than a 5 star that can only play 1 niche or a 4 star that is literally restricted into playing one archetype (Chevreuse).
Tips: save them standard wishes for Mr.Door! I got my first ororon from standard and I literally jumped. It’s a hella low chance but it’s possible!
And here is my question! I’m not a honkai star rail player but I’ve heard they stopped releasing 4 stars. In exchange they add a lot more events that people need to do get the premium currency. Do you think that would work for Genshin?
I hope everyone doesn’t get shafted by the 4 star gacha and gets our big bear Valeriy! If the shield or Em is on C6 y’all… just fuck me with a toothbrush.
