Yapping and Kit predictions

Yapping and Kit predictions

We are roughly 3 weeks before Her beta and im quite anxious, so lets yap!

First thing first is that i hope devs started her development around Fontaine/early Natlan.

Why? Because thats probably around the time devs started developing Natlan kits. Maybe thats sounds controversial to some, but Natlan kits are very creative. They do feel unique among genshin cast. As many others of us, i kinda want her to be like mavuika: Very high floor and notable room to optimize combos. Sadly, i do not believe that, and i think they came up with Stellar and Lunar reactions roughly about the same time, which made devs kinda shift back to OG genshin playstyles, with some caveats

Thus, i have 2 cents to add in the CMC ++ theory. I also believe she will be support/sub-dps in SSW and dps in SSC, just like MC (which is already kinda leaked?). But CMC also has a special CA that could also be hinting some Tsaritsa mechanic, and i didnt see anyone speculate this. Hopefully an large meele attack to distinguish from Sandrone. (while being immune to cryo auras and dying from cold mechanics, bc yes)

The other thing i want for her is a lauma A1 type of passive. For those who dont know, that passive change If she is the only nodkrai character in the party, or if she is accompanied with other nod chars. In the former, she buff OG Bloom playstyle. In the later, she buffs her intended niche: Lunar bloom. With something like that, she could work with all cryo reactions, while also being a stellar character.

TLDR; She is probably CMC ++, DPS in SSC and offensive support in SSW as many have theorized. But i would like to add: she will have an form of Special CA, as also hint by CMC. Personally, i am expecting her to work with all Cryo reactions, but those archetypes will end up being not particularly good, just like normal hyperbloom with lauma.

Whats your thoughts and desires? Let me know

This Stygian in dire is disgusting

After 3 hours trying to replicate sandrone c0r1 clears from billi billi w my c0r1 (mav sig) and sucrose, i decided to give up and bring my Nicole

Chud is probably the most disgusting boss we had? Poor vesna getting cryo aura-ed lmao. The clear is not optimized at all, i just first tried with nicole and moved on to grind pavlina

the thing is... Pavlina is not trivial at ALL. She dodges, iframes, and sometimes delay her shield phase (like stare at you for absolutely no reason when u have 30 sec left). So it required quite an RNG grind, on top of optimizations in the rotation, such as skiping bennet burst before the second shied phase, and durin's burst in the first rotation too.

Weapons:

chud: Mav sig, fav, traveller sig, fav

SSA: Skirk sig, ttds, fav, Pamber

Pavlina: Varka sig, Nicole sig (i swear i wish Oathsworn Eye, she misses the ER so much), fav, Aquila.

Varka, Nefer and nicole have sigs. Flins on jade spear

notes: Durin build is terrible. he is on 4p of the new set with like, 40/100 cv so i just give him fav and call it a day. This is probably doable with c1r1 varka and more optimization.

Nefer also can do tulpa without sig

C3 nicole and sig is also negligeble with better builds i think

▲ 30 r/Varka

As with v4 prune is trully varka's dedicated support and as a grand master main, me and many others are willing to dump a LOT of wishes in this durin/Nicole banner mostly because of her cons.

Right now im having these intrusive thoughts that i could just stick with c0 Nicole (alr have durin, but can apply to someone pulling for both) and stick whatever prune cons i can get in this launch banner (even c0) and play the long run, saving as many wishes as possible for a Varka rerun, which shouldn't take long.

Point is: there's a great chance that prune reruns with Varka at 7.0-7.1ish. Getting Nicole and durin's cons is not bad at all (likely the optimal way value wise) but If we really wants him to shine as a PHEC generalist DPS, vertical investiment on himself seems the play. This is something i was thinking about,

Thoughts?
