So about Itto:
+ As expected, he does good damage.
+ Works well at C0, and even with a 3star weapon(Whiteblind) or 4star (SerpentSpine claymore).
+ Easy to pick up & play UNGA-BUNGA claymore user.
+ Burst thankfully snapshots Bennett's and Gorou's buffs (more to be tested)
+ With Gorou buffing his damage through defense, your usual 4star suspects like Xingqui, Bennett, Xiangling and Sucorse are free to go to the other side of the abyss to form a good team
- Kinda needs Gorou to boost him. Even better if he has Gorou, AND a shielder like Zhongli/Diona/Noelle.
- Restrictive in what kind of teams he can be placed in. As stated above, pretty much begs for a mono-geo team or as close to it as possible.
- Geo element = almost no reactions and potentially (in the future) weak against shielding enemies like Heralds/Lectors of every flavor?
- slight to medium Energy Recharge problems
- Might be easy to learn but difficult to master/play optimally due to rotation.
edit: Kinda wierd thing about team building: Zyox and Tenten both agree Itto+Gorou are BFFs, but Tenten thinks he will not fit into too many teams. You have to build a Geo team around him, or so he says.
Zyox on the other hand is much more open-minded about it and say he pretty much only needs Gorou for the defense buff, the other 2 slots can be anything. Albedo and Traveler(battery)? Yes. Bennett and Raiden? Yes. Diona and Xiangling? You got it bro! etc.
Quite funny to see the dichotomy of it =)
As always, roll responsibly!

I just wish he had King of Heroes voice more than the high-pitched voice he's got (in JP)

I am sleeping until Raiden is back on rate up. Playing too much Endwalker.

I'm on EU, so can't add you.
I'm at 79 rolls and have saved up 30 more wishes.
I'm probably gonna save up for Yae Miko and/or Ayaka + Kazuha reruns. Might be tempted to roll Ganyu C1 for -15% cryo res shred she gets, but time will tell. Ultimately decided not to roll for Itto since... geo. Game is much more fun when you do elemental reactions with one another.
I'm also pretty engrossed by FFXIV Endwalker, but the queues on EU Chaos have been pretty bad. So I usually have 3-4 hours of sitting in queue with nothing to do, so I play Genshin or Heroes of Might and Magic III during that time...

I stopped playing GI completely 2 month back. I'm not gonna get sucked in again xD
My next big time sink will probably Lost Ark. Until then I will dabble a bit in AoE and some other games (like Mortal Shell) the Game Pass has to offer

Sorry, I am on EU servers. I only really do co-op with friends when we happen to be on at the same time with spare resin to do domains on weekends. I really don't udnerstand why the co-op experience is so terrible in Genshin.

Enkanomiya finally came out! We can max the damned tree to level 50 and the vendor for leftover sigils is also available, although his stock is mostly housing items sadly, and some money. No weapon precursors or whatever they're called.
I enjoyed Enkanomiya a lot, and once again I am reminded that this game is at its best when there's content to explore, instead of repetitive daily grinds and gacha rolling.
The only bad thing I can say about the new zone is that it has a super annoying, unskippable 5-second cutscene everytime you try to interact with the main zone mechanic there. You can FEEL your life being wasted, precious seconds slipping by into nothingness that you can never get back....
Aside from that, the zone is very fun.
|
Chipped away at it, will explore it out over the weekend(s). The distant view of the area was breathtaking though, as usual.
|
100% exploration get.
I hate the mechanic. It lacks sufficient depth for the puzzles to be any good, and is mostly a waste of time. The number of times I get to a spot, see I need the other one, and have to teleport somewhere else to switch the damn thing is just way too high.
Seals are a bit nightmarish. but at least they come in groups.

Guess spazer just wants to go

Is Shenhe's boost stronger than VV?

Yes, but she is extremely niche. She can literally DOUBLE the damage of Cryo DPSes like Ganyu & Ayaka for a very short amount of time.
She also prefers mono cryo teams or as close to it as possible, due to how her E works.
Basically, when Shenhe casts E, every other cryo character on her team gets 5 to 7 spikes to use, to boost their damage (ANY damage; normal attacks, charged, E skill, Q burst). These charges get consumed extremely quickly in the case of Ayaka's Burst and Ganyu's Charged Shot, to the point of making her not worth pulling for a casual player, because after that she is pretty much dead weight until she can cast her E again.
Mihoyo made too many good all-around supports like Bennett, Kazuha, Xingqui etc. so they switched up their design philosophy from overall good supports, to hyper-specialized supports that we see now, like Gorou, Shenhe and Sara.
Problem is Shenhe is a 5-star and requires exponentially more primos to get her to work, unlike Sara and Gorou.
She was also not designed with casuals in mind because at C0 she is extremely average. She gets a nice boost in usefulness already at C1 (2nd charge of E, just like Xiao), and C2 boosts CRIT DMG for burst, which already shreds cryo res on opponents and finally, C6 is specifically designed to boost charged attacks damage, indefinitely.
She's designed for leviathans (not even whales) that already have C6 Ganyu, C6 Ayaka and/or C6 Eula to boost these toons' damage numbers to infinity and beyond.
For God's Sake C6 Ganyu after casting her skill, gets free charged shots.
Ayaka's charged attacks at C6 get another 298% DMG for the lulz.
I dunno how exaclty Eula works, but if her burst was not dodged, she could already do some pretty silly numbers. Her skill DMG% is also nothing to scoff at.
=========
Basically if you are a whale that already has Cryo DPSes developed and are willing to spend hundreds more to get a good Shenhe, she's worth it. If you're a filthy casual player like me (C0s on your 5stars), she's too hyperspecialized to be worth it.
