Who Let the Devs Cook? | Zy0x Plays the 4.4 Combat Event - Genshin Impact

[@ludige]

Thinking in retrospective this was imaginarium theater test

[@sonyaho8104]

i genuinely enjoyed the event and the awful builds since it made things harder thus more interesting on a pro level. beating the rounds felt actually satisfying, bcz it wasn't a piece of cake like usual and made me think of fun playstyles i never would've thought before. love it!

[@pops1cle187]

It was satisfying seeing my friends who claim they're good just that they didn't spend/whale fail.

[@Sergmanny46]

This event was literally a team building skill test, and it's mind blowing how many people failed at it. If you had the bare minimum notion (and braincells) of knowing what to do you, you could clear the max difficulty on 5 minutes average, tops.

[@rottuce5735]

some people doesnt even have c1 on their 4 star character, i think thats why people are complaining. its easy for people who has c6 4 star. this event literally depends on your character, the build is from the event but the constellation depends on your account. its easier for me to 36 star with solo c1 neuv amber + c0 alhaitham and c4 kuki duo, than doing this event.

[@Sergmanny46]

@e5735 That's a duo run, not solo. But yes we get your point, and even then is almost cherrypicked, as you can still beat this event with a c0 xingqiu, c0 xiangling and so on. Once again, it's all about picking proper teams. You certainly don't need c6 characters for Nilou bloom or plunge xiao, neuv hypercarry... and if that wasn't enough, zyox even made a point by choosing bad teams *on purpose* and was still able to beat the event, except that one fight with the ruin chickens.

[@poozhooz1989]

bro their ayato build was so bad, i was hitting 9k na's with bennet and kazuha buff

[@thebunbuntwins5216]

[@weeaboobarko]

really liked this event lol, I heard some people were bitching that the trial characters keep your cons and so it's a "whale event" but playing on my friends ar 50 account I was able to clear super easy with no cons whatsoever so I can only assume that people just have no idea how to build teams, or are unfamiliar with rotations of characters they don't own

[@Axterix13]

It's also building teams from that limited character pool. And some of the characters having such craptastic builds, that it makes you think the characters are worse than they actually are. And some things, like that Kuki build... 200 EM on Kuki... just no. Mind you, I got through the event without much trouble. And that's without bothering to check the builds on characters, favoring characters I want to use over characters that were best to use, and not really checking ahead of time what the enemies or special triggers and such were.

[@scotu7075]

I didn’t know what half the characters did before this event and pro was still very enjoyable! I don’t know what people are cooking

[@kurimiaisukurimu]

This event has 100% proven that this community absolutely sucks at this game. Just put an ounce of thought into your team and this whole event should be a breeze.

[@islowclick]

Who is this game made for then. They want it to be casual but the casuals dont even care about team comps so how would they know what team comps to use?

[@kurimiaisukurimu]

@@islowclick Who knows, ask the devs who they designed the elemental reaction system, how every character's kits work into those reactions, and every other RPG aspect of this game for.

[@andrewjamez9741]

@@islowclickthe casuals should know, even if they dont, tgey still get primos and wont care abt the other materials

[@bixie0987]

@@andrewjamez9741 they dont know. casuals dont even know what half the characters kits are. there are so many skill issue complaints on social media rn

[@SunnyHikikOmori]

Its because they advertised this game for casuals. Overworld combat is BRAINDEAD. Whats the point of caring about effective teambuilding if everything still dies in 5 seconds? EDIT: not to mention, these are trial characters. Only whales are experienced and know how to use every single characters kits efficiently. Casuals will have to do trial and error Constellations are also a factor. Even though its still possible to clear without them, people with constellations have a false sense of "this event is easy" despite the advantage they have over other people.

[@monkebrainiac]

i LOVED this event so much. it really tested how much a player knows about rotations and elemental reactions rather than relying on builds.

[@NycmanTheNicestOfMen]

Playing this event took a lot of tries. Because i gotta be honest with you. I dont have most of these characters especially after inazuma's release, and the ones i do play arent in the trials. So it was kinda hard to know the mechanics. Took me a few tries tho

[@ghostlypenguin4417]

I really liked this event as a newer player because it allowed me to check out a bunch of 5 stars I hadn't gotten to trial yet. I also found the last stage a bit difficult on the highest difficulty, which made it fun to actually try to buildcraft while rationing out my characters effectively

[@Axterix13]

Problem is that the poor builds will give you the wrong impression of certain characters. The regular trials are bad enough, with the inflated energy and such, but some builds here were utter garbage, while others were okay...

[@bluntly-]

@@Axterix13I don’t think it would give you the wrong impression it’s very apparent that you get your own artifacts for said character if you ever get them , no one thinks a trial character is at their full potential

honestly with all the chat complaints, just goes to show that majority of zyox chat can't do genshin comps/rotations properly 😭 this event was fun af

They used to. I believe in the earliest trials if a there wasn't an artifact set directly released for a character the character would get nobless

[@davidolvera1031]

Where do you think all the jokes of Dehya being unable to kill hydro slimes came from?

[@1Henrink]

Trial character events are amongst my favorites, since most events are not hard enough to matter and I don't have to rebuild everytime.

[@bunnys9704]

This was all about teambuilding. Their Alhaitham was hot garbage but with a hyperbloom team I still made it work. I liked this event a lot tbh

[@enviouskiss]

This humbled me wtf 😭😭 (I struggled on the last one, maybe because my rotations are bad, or my lack of knowledge with Nilou)

[@_Choco_]

I actually really liked the event. Its not hard but it takes a few retry's.

[@whythoisuk9646]

Enjoyed this event. Made me theory craft a lot of teams. I remember actually planning out my run around a plunge Keqing team xD.

WHAT THE FUCK THATS WHY HE DOES AS MUCH DAMAGE AS DEHYA

[@goldyponds]

i was thinking its too bad he didnt check the royal bow crate circlet lyney 😭

[@finnthefannibal]

This event was easy but combat chasm event where we could pick more freely was better. Being funneled into specific characters who also happen to be new and thus need marketing and testing makes for a mid experience on our side.

[@anokage7403]

This was also my issue with the event. I don't mind restrictions being in place such as the character stamina system and limiting options to 2 picks per round, but we should've been given access to the entire trial pool for each round. Some of the team comps you're funneled into due to lack of good options weren't all that fun to play imo. Meme teams are only fun for me when given the option to apply meta builds to otherwise bad teams, but trial characters come with some really awful builds which just means I'm playing bad/mediocre teams with some really cope artifacts/weapons lol.

[@prncrcz]

So I imagine they were just test running imaginarium theater with this event.

[@Sergmanny46]

0:40 I love how chat tries to make fun of these builds, when they themselves probably don't even go past 20cr, still build their kazuhas for dmg over triple em, expect their furinas to do well with only 110%er or worse, and an endless etc. This event proved they can't even do the most basic shit when it comes to team building. That Yae Miko with 70/140 ratio was better than 80% of people's yaes. And sure, the er on her was low but you don't burst every rotation with her anyways.

[@dursu_x]

I need events like these way more it honestly helps with knowing what characters you should pull for esp since the weapons and stuff are f2p friendly-ish since its 4 stars mostly

[@HazZzel-]

This event was probably one of the best- it was genuinely fun

[@TheBicPen]

So this event was just imaginarium beta, huh?

If the trial character were good(well built) and to balance that the enemies more difficult, this event would have been ok. I first tried the hardest difficulty and still hated this event more than the current abyss(ruin serpent and wenut)

[@MechTech_]

the event wasnt bad honwstly. i had to redo it a little becausebi only have xiao lyney scara and navias rotations and stuff memorized.

[@anokage7403]

Kuki being consistently given TotM instead of gilded or FoP in these trial events makes me die a little inside.

[@Axterix13]

But remember, she was designed with dendro in mind, people! Everything that works in Genshin is due to sheer genius on their part, everything that doesn't is because they're playing 4d Chess and it'll work with the next region or the one after that, and they never ever screw up.

[@soulstarved4116]

The only one I got stuck on was the one that ended on an abyss lecture, and I used up all my Hydro characters except Ayato.

People actually hate this event?? This is the funnest combat event in ages. The only hard part is the Pro difficulty, which takes a several retries. It doesn’t even give you primos, so people shouldn't be mad about not being able to clear it. Having difficulty is the fun part! You experiment with team comps of characters you don't have

[@justchica3243]

IMAGINARIUM

[@skatleosp1rit848]

This event was fun. You had to think through and make a viable team comp (while considering trash character builds that hoyo gives us) Like. yelan hitting 5k with her burst? Pain. But it made it fun, challenging.

why is it that a simple event causes such a ruffle within the genshin community? it truly isn't a big deal

[@kheeys3410]

event was cool for the most part but you CANNOT tell me that the vape/melt challenge without hu tao, diluc, or even fucking gaming was in any way enjoyable (replayed it like 3 times to try and "find the fun" because the discourse surrounding this event is driving me INSANE)

I would say if people can't even complete this in Pro they literally have skill issue. They should not even complain about endgame at this point then. The builds are actually what any f2p new player would have and those who are not new should know how to play these characters with perfect timing.

The event was easy, you can play with only 2 or 3 of the busted characters too and clear it. But the builds were so bad.

The event was in no way fun, i already have most of the characters and using weaker ones isnt fun. Zyox has c6 on most characters and still some of his teams were cutting it close, thats the main complaint, the builds were bad.
