genshin (modern au??? earth au??) sports headcanons for da soul ❤️

- so anemo is speedy fast, since having two anemo characters in your party helps you go faster, so obviously i gotta put all of them in track or some other running sport

- xiao does high jump and long jump, he is obviously the best at it. he’s very serious about training but also sometimes he overdoes it and gets hurt. he works thru the pain tho but like calm down. he’s always got some sort of injury but whatever he’s state champ

- kazuha does high jump, but he’s pretty well rounded tbh so he’s a decent sprinter and distance runner too

- jean does shotput look at her skill of course she does shotput. she’s so good at it too. but she’s also a really good mid-long distance runner. girls got the 800 in the bag

- sayu does sprints she is so fucking good at the 100m, 200m, and 400m and you’d never expect it from someone so tiny. um. i think she needs to use her tanuki ball tho and idk if that’s allowed in genshin track. maybe?? if she’s not in her ball she’s not very fast lol

- HOWEVER sayu also does discus. look at her charged attack spin. any claymore user that spins for their charged attack can throw a damn good discus throw.

- i’m so fucking sorry sucrose mains but i don’t think she can do anything. she’s a science nerd she was in the science club until someone convinced her to join the track team. she does the short sprints cause they’re over quickly but she is so bad at them. however, she will talk her teammates ears off about how adequate sleep, water, and food all play into your performance at a meet, and how metabolism and digestion and lactic acids work.

- bennett is on the track team too and he’s so enthusiastic about being there but god he is not that good 💔 and he trips a lot which fucks him up during races

- venti is their “coach” but he doesn’t rly coach all that much? he’s good at jumps tho. and like he knows his shit he just slacks off about it lol

- heizou doesn’t do track he’s a boxer tho

- yanfei does volleyballlll i know this is a common hc cause of her normal attack but yea she’s a volleyball girlie

- i think xiangling would also be a volleyball girlie honestly? she gives me the vibes

- yoimiya too she is ALSO a volleyball girlie ❤️

- geo is weightlifting i’d think. itto can lift anything but he’s also the guy that will do unsafe things at the gym

- noelle is the girl that racks up multiple 45s on her bar and goes at it like it’s nothing. but also she’s so embarrassed about it if you praise her for it

- albedo is a fencer i don’t think he lifts much

- gorou does weight training but also i don’t think he’s really in it for the bulking up? like he does HIIT not just solely weightlifting

- i know kujou sara’s weapon is a bow but as a CHARACTER she would be an archer like she just gives me those vibes. that IS her sport

- amber also gives me vibes of archery being Her Sport but i feel like she’s a runner too. i don’t think she does track, maybe cross country, but she’s naturally a good runner regardless. maybe soccer? something that involves running but isn’t Just running

- traveler is good at everything honestly. any sport you put them in they’d perform decently if not excellently

- barbara works at the medic tent lol she has to wrap xiao in bandages. she’s an idol so like she does idol workouts. idk i know idols need to be some level of fit to do all that stuff onstage

- hu tao ….. tennis….. i think it’s her burst animation that makes me think that but tennis

- beidou is a swimmer, since she has that stamina cost reduction talent, but she can lift a Lot too. i don’t think she’s ever gone to the gym tho she just has a very active lifestyle. so if you ask her how much she lifts she couldn’t really tell you but it is a Lot

- i think mona’s a really strong swimmer too but she doesn’t like it

- since lisa is dying or something i think she might be too frail to do anything super hardcore but she has an elliptical at home that she uses. or one of those bikes

#someone that can draw. pls . at least draw the anemo track hcs #i know i am also someone that can draw but i don’t Want to right now kshsksh #genshin #genshin impact #kazuha kaedehara

Seeing people complaining about the lack of anniversary rewards is getting so tiring. The game's ratings dropped to like 2 on Google play, all comment sections of official accounts are full of complaints. I know and understand that people are upset but it's just so so tiring to the point where I unfollowed most accounts that aren't related to fanart or fanfiction because of all that negativity

I personally spent (a little) money on the game so I get where p2w players come from but idk. I saw that we didn't get anything and moved on pretty quickly. Maybe that's just me, idk

Maybe you have a different view on this and if so, I'd like to hear it

Sorry for ranting in your inbox

hehe no need to apologize because I have quite a bit to say myself nodnod

Read if you like, don't if you don't--this is just my opinions and stuff based off my experience knowing Eastern gatcha games as well as talking about using a 5* vs 4* of the same build + slot

This got kinda long ehe-

Like really long.

Anyway

My turn for a Hot Take (tm)

Yeah I understand this--I've been feeling so drained and my enjoyment of the game and writing has diminished immensely because all I see everywhere is just that.

I understand that the event rewards suck but at the same time? I realize how gacha aren't really popular here in the West--and I have seen a lot of comparison between Genshin and Cookie Run but they're also two entirely different genres despite both being gacha. Not to mention that Cookie Run is fast at first until you get to around uhh Kingdom lvl 37~~ and you're stuck and can't go forward because things cost too many materials or your cookies aren't strong enough even though you have several stars on your team consisting of epics built as optimally as possible-

So the maintenance rewards for Cookie Run have been the only significant amount of gems I've been getting for a few weeks now compared to when I first started and could do 10 roll after 10 roll.

Also also, Cookie Run is PvP (arena, guilds, etc). Being able to get more rolls is absolutely a gamechanger. If you can't get a good defense cookie or healer cookie, you're fucked.

So!! That's why Cookie Run is more generous with rolls. You're not going to want to keep fighting other people in the Arena or doing Guild stuff if they don't add in those generous rewards.

On the other hand, Genshin Impact is an open world rpg w/ co-op (note, co-op doesn't count as pvp because you're collaborating) where you can build pretty much any of the characters to be viable (dps/vampire Barbara is one major example, Noelle is a guarantee roll character for that beginner's banner and she can easily be built to be a tank/healer/dps to fill whatever slot you desire)

So they're not going to be incredibly generous w/ rewards because the characters you have--meta or not--don't really effect your ability to play the game (unless we're talking spiral abyss which really is considered endgame anyway) when you're able to get at least one character of each element for free I mean, you start out with traveler who can be anemo, geo, or electro once you get to the respective places, Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Barbara (iirc, you need to get to rank 20?), Xiangling (complete spiral abyss floor 3), and Noelle (reduced cost 10roll w/ guaranteed Noelle).

Which would be one of each element and a variety of one of the 5 weapon types nodnod.

Time to talk about builds and why it's not necessary to have a 5* unlike in other gatcha games like Cookie Run (again, a kingdoms builder) before going back to the anniversary stuff

But continuing, like Eula is considered a fantastic 5* character who features a kit that is based around her being a physical damage character. My sibling, C, has her built and she does some insane damage.

On the other hand, I have Xinyan built as a physical dps and if you were to compare their damage?

With crit, C's Eula deals 9k to 14k with Skyward Pride (5* claymore w/ energy recharge substat). With crit, my Xinyan deals 8k to 13k with Song of Broken Pines (5* claymore w/ phys substat) OR 7k to 10k with Prototype Archaic (4* craftable claymore w/ attack substat).

Both C and I agree that they're pretty evenly-matched in the sense of damage output.

We have similar builds focusing on physical damage, however, C's Eula uses 4pc Pale Flame and my Xinyan uses 2pc Bloodstained, 2pc Pale Flame (both have the 25% phys damage bonus for the 2pc). It's also good to note that both their Eula and my Xinyan have a physical dmg % cup.

So just by stacking up more phys on Xinyan, you get a physical dps (with some elemental support capabilities due to her E and Q) you can easily make her deal consistent, reliable damage that is comparable to a fully built Eula. Ofc, I'm sacrificing Xinyan's shield, but since she's built to be a physical dps, it doesn't matter anyway.

Another thing is Zhongli is an incredible shield support. His shield?? Absolutely insane because it's based off his hps. Guess who else has a hp-based shield and heals??? Diona. Another incredibly good support 4* with a shield and healing would be Noelle!

But with Diona, specifically since I did kinda cover over Noelle already, she can easily be built along with her shield having over 100% uptime (like how Zhongli has over 100% uptime). The fact that Diona is also a healer definitely is a perk too.

Ofc the difference with this is that Zhongli can be built as a burst support/dps while Diona is not. But the point isn't that--the point is that you don't need a 5* shield support to have a good, reliable shield support.

But regardless of 4* or 5*, to get a viable character, you need to build them well. So if your character isn't doing satisfactory damage, you just have to take a quick peek at what artifacts they're running and fix as needed!

Another thing--

Talking about the rewards and stuff for the anniversary-

Generally, gatcha games aren't really that generous with rewards and instead usually have some sort of event. In this case, I'm pretty sure that Moonchase is considered a part of the anniversary which is why it's giving so many rewards- just the primos from the first day alone with the chests and quest was enough for two rolls (40 chests * 5 primos each + 60 from the quest and a few that I forgot where they come from but are from the event) as well as the 4* Luxurious Sea Lord claymore.

Before you say that it's shitty for them to make a festival into the anniversary event, I'm certain that people would complain if the anniversary rewards were just a little more than the 10x fates and stuff and that's it because it'd feel like they're skipping over the anniversary entirely. (keep in mind, festivals don't normally give this much stuff in terms of primogems from what we've experienced so far--they're mainly focused on the free event weapon you can get and build like with Festering Desire, Windborne Ode, Dodoco Tales)

Also companies love taking advantage of festivals to make an event bigger + more fleshed out. It'd be otherwise kinda boring to have to just log in every day for a week (not to mention, not everyone does that) and encourages players to play to get rewards.

yeah, that's supposed to work in their favor because they want to keep interest.

So the fact that there's a lot of backlash on everything going on is tiring and also?? I want to make the point that they'll only listen to so much. Getting heard is important, but there will be a point where Mihoyo will just stop listening to the players entirely because all they're getting is a constant barrage of "this event is the worst" "no one likes that character" "(insert character) when???" "okay but where's (blank) rerun?" pasted over the forums, discord, twitter, facebook, instagram--

You can't keep demanding more while also talking shit constantly about the new stuff added because then they'll just not add those new stuff because we (general) seem to never be satisfied.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up just cutting Genshin Impact as a loss entirely if this continues as it has and gets even worse.

But I digress.

Anyway, I agree that it sucks that the daily login rewards for the anniversary are just cut and pasted from the Lantern Rite, but as someone who's played a lot of gatcha games, it's pretty much the standard.

Have a daily sign in for rewards and a big event featuring a ton of stuff you can get instead of having an 'official' anniversary event.

I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing because it's not coming to mind, but yeah. These are my general thoughts on what's happening with the discourse.

#anon asks #discourse #anyway that being said--make sure to get some rest anon #stuff like this is incredibly draining so take care of yourself nodnod #I'm not sorry for this being so long I got carried away but at the same time this is something I'm pretty passionate about #And I'm not at all excusing the stuff going on but at the same time us (general as players) are also not really being the best
