The Lan Yan Situation is Crazy [Genshin Impact 4 Stars Only]

Genshin Impact version 5.3 brought us Lantern Rite (Hypotenuse) with the ability to choose a four star for free. With so many good options, it's a tough choice. But I've gotta say, the Lan Yan situation is crazy.
Genshin Impact is a gacha game with tons of powerful 5 star characters. But what if we ONLY used the 4 star characters instead. Of course, we're going to impose some other rules onto ourselves to make it even more difficult, but could we complete all the content in the game including 36 stars in the Spiral Abyss?
We will be wishing on EVERY new rate-up character banner until we get a 4 star characters. Then, we stop pulling until the next banner. This means RNG will completely decide what characters we get to use, and prevents us from just pulling all the "meta" 4 stars whenever they show up. There are additional rules for when we pull weapons or constellations, but I'll explain those in the video.

11:14 fun fact, a fishing mod has existed for Skyrim since 2011. Meaning in the first year of its life someone asked for fishing

What happens on Feb 1?

🤨?

[@S4T0R0_29]

That honestly sounds terrifying because bro even put the time💀

[@kurkumita]

Hello!! For those who can use the five stars, I have a small tip for the combat levels, you can just get 10x and use the trial characters. You can just read what activates the 2.5 and keep spamming until its done. I managed to get 1 millon on a ar36 account with zero good/built character.

[@izzme5204]

Bold of you to assume I can read

[@dosensardellen]

WTH?

[@doagii]

what does “read what activates the 2.5” mean??

[@feelsbadman7134]

​@doagii there's a stratagem category where it multiplies the score if you fulfill certain conditions (kill enemies after skill, in nightsoul blessing, ect) So playing on 10x difficulty with those conditions activated would mean a 25x score multiplier when you defeat an enemy

[@doagii]

@ ohhhh TYSM!!!

[@Ashleycolorful]

I'm glad you picked lan yan, her C2 is BROKEN, especially for this account, so (HOPEFULLY) Getting a few copies of her in the future would be amazing! It's probably gonna take awhile, but it'll still be worth it.

[@nirmic1149]

@@Ashleycolorful sorry to ask but.. why is her C2 broken?

[@Syrahl696]

​@nirmic1149 It refills the shield capacity by 40% every few seconds, when you do a normal attack with whoever's on field. Up to it's normal maximum, so it doesn't help any more against single big hits, but if you're taking lots of small hits over the shield's duration, it's effectively a much, much bigger shield.

[@nirmic1149]

@Syrahl696 OUUUUU got it!! Thank you so much for the throughout explanation, this is interesting!! ♡ have a great day/evening

[@elementalismproductions]

I don't have xingqiu and I am new so considering him. Would work better with my current team but overall seems like lan yan is the move?

[@amanda_onca4442]

10:34 Oh God. that joke was something. Took me a while to understand even after he explained it

[@Jungh00]

The voice at the end confused me sm, I actually had to look at the video

[@nirmic1149]

21:28 when i tried doing this i sounded like a dying rat so i'm pretty sure i ain't nerdy enough 😔

[@opssham]

Fun fact: you can ask the blacksmiths to show you were the ores are he'll even mark it on your map hope this helps

[@moonyx26]

More 4-Stars Only videos please! its my favourite series and i love watching every single episode

[@turbotushar3397]

You can get 1 claymore billet from the island at the foot of fountain , you just need to unlock the island and get to the basement rooms to get it It would take like 10 20 min

How does bro manage to juggle 5 bazillion accounts….? I can barely manage my one

[@_Random_.]

9:22 That one with Kokomi&Ororon, I ended up getting the most amount of points compared to what I got on the others [not including the final one where you can use any of the trial characters], I used Kokomi&Ororon obvs and then I used my Mualani and Chasca and got 203,715 points, it’s the only one I managed to get all the rewards for, and then on the last one where you can use any of the trial characters I used Mavuika, Furina, Citlali and Kokomi and I got 241,332 points

[@Relevart9169]

how did they make lantern rite feel like one of those random npc events no one remembers

[@A1HA1THAM._wow]

Lan Yan is so good tbh I’ve been having so much fun playing her!

[@tao945]

Not the situation💀 Augusttheduck what are you doing here??

[@Merinara]

Interesting sound. Why does it sound like it's from a horror game o: but I'm intrigued. Btw good job for not forgetting weeklies this time, wuhuu xD Lanyan feels so refreshing somehow, especially with her chakrams (?). Woooosh!!!!

[@MJTheMyth]

12:05 Easy way to remember is just "bill it." No seriously that's how it's pronounced

[@gabou1]

12:09 you got it on the third attempt! And the pronunciation was perfect

[@bubblybear6981]

I only just got the notification 😞 but anyway, love your vids java and i hope you keep being great! I wish great success upon all of your accounts and that your characters actually crit.

[@atriyakoller136]

21:27 as someone who is nerdy enough and into soeech acoustics I'm happy to see such stuff on a Genshin video 😂

[@Brody9-8]

LAN Yan can actually swirl elements with her elemental skill if you have some sort of element infused so basically she has two elements at once because it kind of like keeps the element when the shield ends or gets broken it like stops

[@sitinursyafiqah2178]

am i mistaken or he said he want to make "natlan" claymore, and here we are at fontaine?

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Yeah I was so worried he was gonna make the Natlan one which Seems like it would work well on Gaming but in reality his Skill itself cannot hit the enemy...

[@Wee_Thought]

Mans was so happy about lanyan that he learned how to purr

[@yunhoiknowleeknow9147]

Probably not gonna see this, but in the Gaming team you could run Lisa on Thrilling Tales or Hakusin Ring instead of Bennett so you can use him in the second team for Abyss. You get more electro app + def shred + some atk or dmg bonus!

[@alvin3978]

I don't understand the hypotenuse triangle joke

[@dotthedot9080]

A right angle is a 90 degree angle, aka a line straight up, another straight to the side. There's a straight line connecting both. THAT line is the hypotenuse

[@akros_animations]

Go and learn bàsic maths

[@theodorpana8249]

You could do the weekly bosses in co-op if they use 4 stars to get more drops

[@islippedtheslime]

I see you and I were in the same camp when it comes to lan yan, we got her from the lantern FRG and had no idea what she did but used her anyway

[@astralunaa]

Bro did the commentary channel aah title

[@bhairavigovindarajan]

YES YOU CHOSE LAN YAN!!!!!!! SHE IS SOOO GOOD RIGHT🎉

[@nao947]

I'm about to sleep but there's Java new upload, who needs sleep anyway?

[@MaskedTragedy]

3:07 her C6 let's her do skill again in mid air

[@schrodingersseraph]

Yes, but this would not be detailed in her kit. Itd only be noted in her c6. The kit is explaining that pressing it again, or using normal attack, allows her to take in the air

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

​@@schrodingersseraph it's really just talking about the mid air attack that can trigger After hitting an enemy, but can be understandably misread as being able to use the leap twice.

[@_shoyun]

The Lan Yan situation is insane

[@felpblade3.029]

Gotta love how shes still lvl 1 by the end of the video 😭

[@alexandrab3310]

i was already wanting Lan Yan but now i really do lol

[@Ryoland]

Its possible to half cycle that whale, had to use chasca to pull it off since you can hit him underground and in the air for a bit. (not getting swallowed).

[@ordis5423]

12:07 java if you were wondering its pronounced like bill-it but all one word

[@Malinzo]

I did 100 pulls and still havent gotten a Lan yan :( so glad i can at least get c0 from lantern rite. Hope they do a four star selector for other regions too

[@vicca4671]

"Level 1 Lan Yan would enable us to one-cycle Dvalin" I mean, give her VV and TTDS and she would indeed.

[@blitcyouu]

java you can go down to the underground area without needing to do the quest..

[@KingDez808]

She can be built as a DPS. But it depends on the team.

[@6idk7]

Lan Yan is a good character! :D

[@Linaaa_editss]

youtube hid this from me for 6 minutes srsly

[@infernalparadox6607]

9:00 it's actually an off fielder like fischl, so skill, burst and swap out

[@iiraingirlii]

She’s so cute and I love her playstyle a lot :3

[@galaxysmind4099]

i can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not with the "level 1 lan yan is so OP"

[@ditzylilorgans]

Oh Java that is NOT the Natlan craftable claymore that's the wrong one 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@JavaTheCup]

Maybe I said Natlan by accident but I wanted to craft the Fontaine one. We actually have the Natlan one already that we got for free from an event back when Natlan was released. It doesn't work that great on Gaming due to a lot of his damage being considered plunging attack damage.

[@existDFN]

That hard Tetris mode is such a pain in the butt. Maybe I’m doing it wrong? Any tips guys?
