While this is probably a one and done deal, I appreciate Hoyoverse branching out and sponsoring non-Genshin creators to sponsor their games. Not only does it expose their games to a wider demographic, but it also gives creators, big or small, an additional source of income.

[@MagileineTopDeckToFullField]

I'm subscribed because I'm a Pokémon nerd. I'm here on this video specifically because I'm also a Genshin nerd. I figured since you're always giving tips to Pokémon players in your reactions, I'd throw my 2 cents in here in kind. 1. Diluc likes to use his Skill (E) for most of his damage outside Dawn's buff. If you stagger it during Layla's Shield after it his and applies Cryo, his E will do 2x damage by triggering Melt. So Layla is using Helping Hand. 2. Yun Jin only passes her atk buff to others, not her Shield. The shield actually only exists while she's using the E, and doesn't linger after. So it's Spiky Shield. 3. Tighnari doesn't need to be in the field for the rapid charge. He gets 3 of them just for throwing his smoke bomb. And the smoke taunts enemies like Lynette's Q. So it's like using Byllet Seed behind a Substitute. 4. Collei is baby and must be protected. That is all. 5. Lisa actually uses her E for almost all her damage. Until you have her upgraded so her charge attack gives the targets a debuff. You tap it to apply a debuff to a target and once you get 3 you hold it for a big hit. So it's Stockpile+Spit Up. 6. So even you got Qiqi'd. 7. Sayu gets an upgrade where if you hold her E so she stays rolling, the final hit will have increased damage. So it ends up exactly like Rollout. 8. To be fair, Explosion strats would be more effective that anything Xinyan can do.

[@vegancardigan]

The closest to explosion strat would be hitting explosive barrels with a melee character, without a shield, and dying from it, which is not a strat, and doesnt really happen, also sayu would have to be the most invested character to get a fraction of what rollout can do

[@LetsPlayerAbo2]

very cool, he won't care though since Jan will dip with the sponsor money it's good for viewers interested in playing though

[@erikschrader4737]

Wouldnt the closest thing to Explosion be Bennett's fully charged skill? Haha

[@vegancardigan]

@@erikschrader4737 no self damage, no switch in after, no massive damage, but not wrong

Just playing, enjoying, and relating one game to another makes me feel way happier than I should. Genshins community is so genuinely cursed so this is the greatest breath of fresh air i've seen in a while

[@takaquill]

this is the most surreal video ive ever watched in my life. chase that bag

[@fearincoherem7671]

Honestly I wish for nothing more than for Jan to get really well into Genshin. (Unless he's using a burner account) he already has a Diluc AND Wolf's Gravestone lol, so fingers crossed.

[@PabloWebber]

Most likely a burner account, level 90 keqing and most of the characters showed off are level 20

[@archerlim9437]

Towards the end you can see the large Teal-colored tree, meaning a very late game quest has been finished. Obviously its not his account but still very cool and wholesome

[@JustAWanderer]

This is the crossover I never knew I needed

[@TsarBomba69420]

This was actually awesome! The comparisons to Pokemon were actually really interesting. PS: Tighnari doesn't charge faster in his field. His arrow gets 3 charges after using his skill, and each charge speeds up his shot charging much faster. The field actually confuses enemies inside it. (Like a substitute)

[@vegancardigan]

Diluc is also using fury cutter/rollout especially with constallations, he does more damage with each hit

Funny seeing you compare Genshin to Pokemon when Honkai Star Rail is the turned based game with buffers, supports, different dps types, etc and arguably is more strategic than Genshin, as much as I love Genshin.

[@lenstours]

I fought against starting HSR for while… it’s so freaking fun.

[@Mona69420]

He got sponsored by them for Genshin specifically, and also I somewhat beg to differ on Star Rail being more "strategic", although in a way I do agree, but you're comparing a turned based game to an open world game, and usually turned based games are just like that naturally (I don't play many and I don't think they're my favorite, but I have a friend that plays a lot of them and they seem to be generally made like that because of how turn based games are generally, not to say that they're all the same) There's different types of strategies in both, however Star Rail makes it more apparent that you need to have a strategy, and in Genshin, you still do if you're doing challenges like Spiral Abyss, but it's generally more chill and you're kinda just free to do whatever you want when it comes to combat along with some other stuff. This is not to say one is better than the other by the way, just want to make that clear. I have played both and I like the charm to Star Rail even if I don't play it as much

[@iNeiru]

It’s an alright game. It’s fun but it is gacha so if you like to gamble don’t play it. Definitely agree this video would have been good on April Fool’s Day but I guess this is when they sponsored him for.

[@sibylssentiment]

Heard a lot about Genshin over the years but now that Jan did such a good job comparing the characters to pokemon, I am interested enough to finally give it a try. Great editing on the vid as well!

[@aquatazer]

I’d definitely recommend the game, I’ve been playing for almost three years and I still find the gameplay interesting and fun. Having to look at a character’s strengths and building their stats is my favorite part, similar to nuzlocking which is actually sick.

[@PrismaAce]

sponsored comment yooo

[@LetsPlayerAbo2]

it's a good game (ignore online community and you'll be fine) whatever information jan said in this video can be cast aside though he definitely made the script within a few days or even a few hours with almost no prior knowledge but respect the hustle, the money will go back into his regular content

[@davyfjones216]

I appreciate you focusing on the 4 stars! Yes you can pay to play this game but you can also have plenty of options without paying 😊

“I really, really want Rosaria.” Not even a minute in and he mentions the best character.

[@rosaria8384]

Spiral Abyss is the Nuzlocke experience, you really have to keep your teams alive, especially when you start reaching Floor 6 to 8. At Floor 9 to 12, this is where the game starts becoming a Kaizo experience. Floors 6 to 12 require two teams, and for 9-12, you really need to adjust your teams, all characters that you have is best built, and you have to do 3 minute runs at floor 12. You don't need to stand in the field with Tighnari's E. Just activate it, and always utilize Dendro reactions to make the most of his quick charged attacks. 10 seconds for three hits. Collei is good to set up, but that's just about it. Noelle shines so much at Constellation 6. She gets tons of ATK similar to Belly Drum but has high defensive abilities as well.

[@grimnotes7885]

Oh no. They turned p challenge too.i love how he has 52 standard chars and venti who doesn't even mention him at all. The Pokémon references make no sense lol. You could do overload team for para flinch maybe . Freeze and other stuff

[@BunnyLove5763]

Halfway through the video and damn this script has way more effort in it than I expected for a genshin sponsor lol. Actually now that I’ve seen the whole thing I noticed that the big blue tree in sumeru is there, which means that he would’ve had to do the whole world quest for that area. I wonder if he was given an account with a lot of stuff already unlocked for the sponsor. Bc I can’t imagine him actually playing through the whole game :p

[@LetsPlayerAbo2]

the latter, it's a sponsor account it's more detectable whenever a livestreamer does it, since they log into the game and already start in another region

What's really fun is being a meta player and thinking about hiw meta has changed. Diluc was OP but quickly got outclassed... And now he's pretty bad. Focusing on kn his dmg output means that he has PAPER THIN defense. And his dps isnt even that good in comparison to other characters.

[@romram7984]

Understandable, i too like Rosaria. But it's more because I just like nun characters and I like that she gives off the vibe of an assassin nun and she's been fun to use. And idk why but i thought he was nuzlocking/doing an ironman run of Genshin where you lose a character fully if they fall in battle, and the game ends when your full 4 party wipes or you lose every character and you need the gacha luck to be on your side or play smart and skillfully to beat the game (or as far as the story is now) or if you beat the current story that's in the game It honestly sounds like a fun concept where you can't just level up your world quickly or you'll lose your lower level characters fast. I also see another version of this challenge where you can't use items, and maybe even soul linking where each pulled character is linked to a friends. Haven't spent alot of time playing coop in the game but it could be a fun time, especially if you need to level up someone, so you both coop to help grinding be easier/more fun
