#⇢₊˚⊹ 🩷∥ruby∥yo，ide yo !! #don't get me wrong the story was really really good and made me just as emotional as the first time i did it #i wouldn't want hoyo to shorten archon quests if it means compromising on quality (looking at you inazuma) #but it is kind of a setback for repeat players. not that that's who hoyo is catering to anyway but yeah #i gotta put the game down for a bit tho and take care of some irl things #now that i think about it though... i don't really NEED xingqiu. at least not the way i'm playing the game right now #he'll be super helpful for my yoimiya team. but it's not nearly as urgent of a need as before #i've just kinda gotten used to not using him. even on main i don't use him all the time anymore because #chongyun + bennett + kazuha is enough to clear most things. and then i just fill the fourth slot with whoever i'm grinding friendship for #i do still feel indebted to him for carrying me all the way to ar 55 though. so i want to get his last ascension at least #the dilemma here though is whether i should buy blackcliff now，or wait for xingqiu to return to the shop and buy blackcliff after #i'm not confident that i'll have enough to buy xingqiu if i buy blackcliff now. and i don't know how much i'll be pulling in later banners #if i don't get him in september i could potentially be going months without xingqiu #but the crit damage substat will be so good for alt chong. his damage is still not up to par with main chong #would it be unwise to buy blackcliff now and just keep pulling with reckless abandon until i have enough for qiu...? #there's also been whispers of yelan getting a rerun in early fontaine patches. so depending on how soon she gets rerun #i might not even need to get qiu. at least not urgently #(this isn't a leak btw it's just a guess based on rerun history. it's probably too early to get reliable leaks on 4.x banners anyway) #you know what #i'm gonna do an impulsive thing #i'm gonna buy blackcliff and leave the rest up to fate #will i get xingqiu? will i get yelan first? or will xingqiu appear in rate-up again and i won't have to get him from the starglitter shop? #it's a mystery and a gamble
