To be fair, Chevreuse to me personally, was a hit or miss speculation. Her banner debut was some time ago but seeing as how she's quite valuable for a 4*, it makes sense that Hoyo would save her for a longer to drive demand.

Bennett and Sethos being there is unfortunate however. Don't know if the refund system is going to grant me full refunds for Bennett since I have the stella fortuna for Benny... Thoma is 2 cons away from maxing out and I built him for this patch cycle's abyss so all good. Sethos is whatever I guess.
*
HoYo now knowing Chevreuse is highly coveted might just park her in the more unpopular banners.
Furina banner I can expect HoYo to throw in some unpopular 4 stars since Furina is a great value pull regardless.

China-Exclusive KFC Glider

For those who have been waiting for a red glider, there might be a small chance the China-exclusive red glider might be available globally. cry.gif
Like what happened with the previous KFC red & white glider (You had to gift two Twitch subs to get it)

These are Natlan characters? Seems like pokemon character. sweat.gif

Looking at the teaser. I think they exist just to provide transport around the map. Otherwise will be a big pain for open world exploration.

they need to add it, Sumeru desert already pain in the butt to explore, thanks to Genshin my mice G604 already rip lol
they need to realize we are just human, even robot will break the fingers when exploring sumeru.

by the way ppl in twitter keep crying about character isnt dark skinned, really, they should go create their own genshin.
bunch of cry babies
*
I cannot continue playing the game without exploration skills.
Having Ayaka as my first limited 5 star really helped in running everywhere and crossing waters instead of swimming.
Exploration skills are the only reason I pulled for Xianyun and will be pulling for Yelan soon.

Twitter is a cesspool of people spouting crap non-stop anyway.
It's an open secret miHoYo does not prefer darker skinned characters to boost sales on their major markets.
I wonder if it is a coincidence the majority of the darker-skinned characters have bad kits also.

Case in point: Candace, Cyno, Xinyan, Dehya (this one hurts the most since I really love Dehya's design)
Others being Kaeya (good for a beginner 4-star) and Sethos (not sure about his kit) .

Yeah, but I think the issue runs deeper than that la, there's a bit of technicality and QC nuance involved, and it's unfair to punish players. In a way, it kinda tells Hoyo didn't do a good job QC-ing 4.7 releases because they only did 3 weeks of beta testing instead of 4. The other 2 weeks are always marketing and promotional activities.

Unsurprisingly, I think Clorinde being an EC character with Sigewinne being her dedicated support was kinda real, but things may have been changed down the development pipeline. My guess is with Arlecchino being a Bond of Life character, and her being such a hyped-up character, Hoyo HAD to dedicate a domain and artifact set to her, but Hoyo usually follows the rule one damage and support set with every new artifact domain. Clorinde being conceptualized as a EC dps instead of a BoL DPS would have screwed with Hoyo's artifact design plans, so... there's a chance they repurposed her into BoL DPS as well. Of course, all this is speculation.

But kesian Sigewinne, that character really got the shortest stick in Genshin beta testing history ever.

I don't think Bond of Life is here to stay because Natlan leaks point toward a new mechanic called Night Spirit. I don't regret C6R5-ing Clorinde but man did the excitement fizzle up, hence my focus on ZZZ also. It kinda feels like with Hoyo releasing HSR and ZZZ, and Genshin nearing its penultimate patch, they're slowly moving resources away. Even Natlan graphics and designs feels a little different. I only know that Mualani female hydro catalyst is broken AF at C0 because she's a Vape DPS.
*
With 5.0 Banners being leaked already,
Mualani / Kazuha
Kinich / Raiden

I am now torn between C0 Yelan or C0 Mualani. Don't have the budget for both.
On one hand, Yelan being great for exploration and off-field hydro.
On another hand, Mualani having the new gimmicks and exploration skills for Natlan. (Also powercreep)
Raiden also coming in so soon, RIP my C2 Raiden plans.

Oh yes, Raiden dropping in 5.0 is a massive surprise. Either Hoyo is looking to retire her into the chronicled banner, or there is a switch in Archon re-run orders. Because Raiden ALWAYS drops X.3 patches and Nahida follows suit in X.4. Makes you wonder if Nahida is succeeding Raiden in 5.1.

As for Yelan and Mualani, take it from someone who C6R5-ed Clorinde, your old on-fielders still works. I got by with Nilou and Nahida comps where bountiful core works for 1.5 years. Also, this may be the last time we get Yelan as a standalone re-run before Hoyo shoves her into chronicled too. If you're looking for a competent hydro sub dps, go for Yelan. Mualani is an on-fielder, and her debuting in 5.0 means she'll likely cycle back in 5.4. But if you need a powercreep on-fielder, Mualani might be it. It's Vape, can't go wrong lol. I think Chasca is likely going to be a Melt Bow DPS too.

Going into Natlan, Hoyo has only decided to introduce one hydro 5* into their lineup, I think they're telling players they've released enough broken hydro units now and want to focus on underdog elements such as cryo and geo. One thing's for sure, Hoyo loves their Electro waifus.
*
Cryo being underdogs is a very real statement. After all freeze is arguably the best CC in game, resulting in cryo-resistant or freeze immune enemies which is why freeze has not been relevant for a while.

I still love my Ayaka and have been waiting so long for Shenhe to come back to pull as her support. Ganyu, Wriosthesley, Shenhe all waiting to come back. Chronicled Wish also won't be coming back anytime soon unless got dry filler patch.

Personally leaks regarding gameplay / character’s kit / future characters should be fair game. The more we know, the more we can plan our pulling strategy. Implementing restrictions here will only benefit mihoyo and not the players.

Lore speculation and discussion based on past patches  should be fair game too.

If it was spoilers for a major twist in the story from a current /future patch, then out of  courtesy should have some warning.  But I’m not the one who requested Goldfries.
*
To me, leaks regarding future banners is great for the consumer.
Considering that miHoYo wants to sell you their product, it is only fair that the customer knows ahead of time on future character release schedules as to plan their pulls ahead and reduce FOMO.

As for character viability, I usually wait longer after a new character drops to see how they perform in other's accounts.
Case in point, Clorinde with her ping issue. Instant dealbreaker for me since I travel site to site and have to rely on portable WiFi.

No Chevreuse in the upcoming banner.
That’s a bummer.

Kinda sad. Was expecting Chevy so pulling for Yelan would be nice.
Maybe they are keeping Chevy for the Raiden rerun coming next patch.
Hoyo knows Chevy is highly sought after and would plan their banners accordingly.

Still got two weeks left. Great thing about Simulanka is that it lasts for whole 4.8 patch.
So no rush to do. I play Simulanka on weekends only also already almost 100% every collectible + quest.

Simulanka respects your time a lot more than other summer events.
No climbing to odd spots on a tall island.
No story telling with raven statues
No long roller coaster rides.

You can finish the main campaign in about 2 hours +
And 100% everything in 3-4 hours. They give you a compass to get every rewards too.
*
The treasure compass was the best thing added into the game for 100% completion.
Playing the Klee summer event and Simulanka with it made exploration so much nicer, especially to scratch my 100% completion itch.
I only hope regular treasure compass can be upgraded like that to show remaining chests on map, even hidden ones.

the 55% win is it applied to both event character and weapon?

or just event only?

as it mentioned if pull a 5 star character that is not event character, then next 5 star character will be event character
and will not trigger capturing radiance

what is that capturing radiance rclxub.gif

From what I understood from this article:
https://www.hoyolab.com/article/32168979

- This only affects character banners.
- Weapon banners already have reduced fate point. No way Hoyo will be that generous.
- If you lose the 50/50, there is a chance to trigger another mechanic to give you the banner character instead of standard character.

TLDR:
50% chance to win
45% chance to lose
5 % chance to win with fancy animation
