My Thoughts on 5.3 (Its Amazing)

[@LumpySpaceNinja]

I think a decent number of people skipped Xilonen to save for the pyro archon and then had the rude awakening that pyro archon needs Xilonen to perform optimally. I’m not in that camp, but I feel for those who are.

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

@@LumpySpaceNinja and don’t forget Citlali is looking to be really good for her too since she buffs pyro

[@kibathefang6022]

I pulled for Xilonen and she's been benched ever since she got Friendship level 10

[@tehCostHD]

@@kibathefang6022do you just not like her? Or do you think she’s not good?

[@Raykushi]

The "needing 2 reruns thing" was a thing the developers said themselves in a previous livestream when they introduced the chronicled banner. In this 5.3 livestream they said they were gonna do away with that because people were waiting so long for shenhe and would have wanted to see her here anyway. Edit: There is also no rule that chronicle banners are regionally themed. It's only been that way thus far and assuming it's a hard rule is just an arbitrary assumption everyone has made, and even if it was a rule, they could flip it just as much as they did with Shenhe. Tartaglia being there is totally fine - he's one of the oldest characters in the game and he was introduced in Liyue and uses Liyue materials. It's fine lmao

[@lulufortytwo3884]

It's so funny because Genshin moved Tartaglia away from being lumped with the Liyue characters in promos and stuff a couple years ago. But the rerun situation is so bad that they bent that rule too.

[@Sky_901]

Id say c0 Mavuika is similar to c2 Raiden in terms of dps style and power. Her on field time is short due to u getting most of your power from her burst initial hit and uptime but does high damage in that short time

[@WackyChu]

It’s wild Natlan is so like restrictive lol. Mavuika and Xilonen will be the best combo for sure! (And maybe for support Mavuika?) But I really want Iansan whenever she releases!

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

Iansan is probably coming next update

this is the 2nd chronicle wish, we are still waiting to find out if it saves pity, the thing that is confirmed is that it doesnt save Fate points(50/50 equivalent),

Fk all that, as a new player i am waiting furina rerun. I was planning to have pyro archon but change my mind and got neuvi instead at 160 pity. Tried having C1, lost him to jean and now furina is the best option for me. And also she's my fav character in the game too along with nahida and kazuha (God knows when he'll get his rerun)

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

@@y_r_u_geh good luck

[@alexsjarif]

I hoped skirk wouldn't come out until a new element. I highly doubt they will give skirk a new element in 5.x

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

@@alexsjarif I think that was just star rail hopium, the issue with giving new reactions is how everything before sumeru got completely powercrept and caused neuvillette probably

[@jamesmiller9165]

Hoyo is despicable for putting these great banners and the chronicle wish in the same patch.

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

Bruh Iansan is coming way before skirk, I dont expect skirk until 5.6

[@thechillryan777]

The skirk reveal made me go from wanting to quit to actually being hyped for a character again. Pyro archon will be the strongest by a good amount but at the cost of having to get Xilonen and citlali

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

@@thechillryan777 idk I think Xilonen isn’t really that bad of a requirement, good chance we would already use Xilonen with her before that

[@thechillryan777]

@TheGenshinIdiot oh I totally agree with you. I just meant that they are so close to each other kinda sad for people who are f2p. All those characters are great by themselves

[@elfire5381]

At this rate I’m just hoping they rerelease Xilonen again soon. Otherwise my Mavuika is gonna be benched on my Navia team.

[@thechillryan777]

@@elfire5381 I'm very confident she will be back soon

[@Swerich10]

this guy might not recommend you summon on the chronicle banners, but I do. If you want any of these characters and were planning on pulling on their own eventual limited banner, then this is a blessing. Not only can you get the character you want, but you could even lose your 50/50 to another limited character that you might want. This might come as a surprise, but keqing and qiqi are on literally every banner so you can feel safe having 3 of the 5 standard characters become limited characters that all are honestly better than diluc, jean and mona.

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

@@Swerich10 the thing is you don’t get to keep the 50/50 if that’s all you’re able to make it to

[@Swerich10]

@@TheGenshinIdiot fair and that's important to take into consideration but otherwise it's just an amazing opportunity for people who like shitty characters

I really don't care atp I just need my Tartaglia 😭

[@binsarm9026]

yes - the ONLY character i DON'T want is Tartaglia - i'd even happily accept Qiqi (not yet C6) - i will be aiming for Xiao and Shenhe - but will be happy if i get Ganyu or Baizhu - easy banner to dump ALL my primos for 5.3 - NO Natlan Easy-peasy !

[@MrDSkinny]

Baizhu is probably the best pick but it couldn't be at a worse possible time lol

[@ani.mehunter2155]

I have c1 neuv and want to get c1 arle , I will get mavuika on her rerun , also I will pull Citlali for arle I already have Furina ,xilonen and Kazuha on neuv team So what do you think?

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

Its likely that a C1 Arle will be better than Mavuika, something ive said for a long time is that you can just summon for Arle cons when she gets powercrept and she will likely be better than whatever new pyro dps is out. I imagine Xilonen would be moved onto Mavuikas team when you get her.

[@ani.mehunter2155]

@ oh ty I want arle as my pyro dps bc that fits her so much I might put mavuika on kinich team as sub dps idk
