WuWa 2.0 news starting to come out!

Version 2.0 will be out on January 2nd, a day after Genshin's v5.3.

I wonder what this means, if they're basically going against Genshin's biggest patch of the year. Are they that confident, or do they have internal data that shows that Genshin's playerbase doesn't overlap as much with theirs, but instead do with ZZZ and HSR?

Interesting release date, regardless. And this basically confirms that WuWa will be on a 7-week update cycle, instead of 6. At least for now.

Secondly, PS5 release. I think Sony would push for raytracing to be implemented in this version, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is where RT is implemented for PC as well.



Also, new Rinascita characters! Rinascita is the new region in WuWa and it's the "European-inspired" region, as opposed to Huanglong that was Chinese-inspired.



GUN QUEEN!!!



Finally, portable bathtub lmao



I can think of at least 3 use cases...

Not sure if this is a hot take or not, but currently, the beta v0 of Mavuika is hands down the worst designed Archon, and probably in the top worst 3 kits in the entire game IMHO. And I'm not referring to damage, but how the kit is actually meant to work.

I'm waiting for v1 to see if they realize they've made mistake with how this character functions, but I'm not too hopeful.

I'll talk more about her kit after at least v1 is out in a few days, but to give you a hint for how badly designed she currently is:

If you don't own Xilonen, Mavuika is borderline useless. Yeah, the bar is this low right now.

It sets an incredibly bad precedent. Making the Archon require a character you don't own/want is a pretty scummy move for low spenders and F2P.

CARLOTTA CONFIRMED VOICED BY KANA UEDA!!!



After Yoimiya in Genshin and Skyfire in Arknights, I've lost all hope of gacha games doing justice to my Rin-voiced characters. Hopefully Carlotta breaks the curse.

ShinsoPriest said:

Two things Zajef didn't mention, Mav's C2 puts her above C6 Arle in terms of damage. There's zero doubt she'll be nerfed in the upcoming betas.

The other thing is that Mav is putting out these numbers on freaking Crimson Witch of Flames. If she gets a better artifacts set in the future, or is tweaked to use Obsidian, literally every character in the game will need to be lowered in tier lists. Further evidence to show that she'll be nerfed to hell and back.

Better not focus on her numbers for now. It's the Xilonen dependancy that's way more worrying and is less likely to be removed/reduced in the upcoming betas, especially if they were heavy-handed in their nerfs.

Things is, if you have Kazuha, Xilonen is completely unnecessary, and you bet everyone has Kazuha already. So, if you're a low spender or an F2P and plan to go for high cons and/or sig on Mavuika, you not only skppied Xilonen, you don't plan on getting her in the firs tplace.

And this doesn't take into account people who just don't like Xilonen's design. Being forced to spend so many primos on a limited 5* you don't want and potentially missing out on other future 5*s you may actually want feels really really bad.

At least with units like Faruzan/Sara/Gorou, they always run with the 5*s they're meant to support. Mavuika needing Xilonen this bad is a huge fuck you for those who save for/like the Archon and dislike/not care about other released Natlan characters.

Why is Xilonen so necessary anyway, if it's just the Fighting Spirit for her ult then you can instead get Seat Loli who seems to be good for Mavuika with her cryo app, shield, and pyro res shred. Then you can have Kazuha or Furina replace Xilonen. That's what I plan to do anyway cause I don't have Xilonen and Seat Loli looks pretty cute design wise in comparison, I don't really care for Xilonen's gyaru look.

Because Xilo is the only character that can immediately give 100 Nightsoul points on demand. Other Natlan characters are either too slow or not give enough.

If you want Mavuika to do the bulk of her damage in the least time possible (to get highest DPS out of her and shorten rotations) she needs 200 FS points (at C0). She gets around 100 from her own kit + 100 from Xilo's Q E 2NA.

Her cons improve the efficiency of the nightsoul conversion to FS, so other characters become more viable, though Xilo still remains the best.

ShinsoPriest said:

This preference is exactly my point. You're not getting that amazing damage until you get Xilonen and have her be a permanent slot in literally all of Mavuika's teams.

Even someone like me who loves Xilo and would've used her with Mavuika anyway is baffled by how joined by the hip they made them be.

Assuming you can get the 50 FS in the same time Xilo can give 100, that's still 25% of her multipliers. All of her damage scales with FS, so that's 25% less damage just from losing that.

And if you're using Furina with her, you need a healer. If you're not using Xilo, it's either Jean or XY to swirl pyro where both are damage loss over Xilo, so that's even more of a damage loss.

More on Mavuika.




EDIT: Mavuika flies for 4 seconds at C6, and 2 seconds at C0.



To compare, Chasca flies for 10 seconds outside of Natlan. Guess they didn't want to completely invalidate the character from just the previous patch.

After Overload has been buffed in v5.2, people are now switching Xiangling to an EM/EM/EM build in Chev teams, with Kitain Spear and a crap ton of ER substats. OLs now do ~32k per hit, which is as much as Hyperbloom.

I can see myself doing this and relegate XL exclusively to Chev teams so I never have to touch her build ever again.

Speaking of characters that feel kinda ass to play, Chasca. *sigh*



She's a CA bow character that wants both Furina and Bennett, and it's kinda as painful as that sounds.
Flying over enemies helps alot, especially since Chasca has inherent interruption resistance and immunity to Freeze, but this doesn't prevent her teammates from getting screwed over by Furina's HP drain. And the fact that there are no good enough party-wide healers to Bennett makes her teams far from comfortable.

At the end of the day, Chasca exists in my account as a taxi in the overworld, the best in the game don't get me wrong, and an additional DPS to use in the Theater. She's never touching the abyss if I can help it.

Here is a summarized version of the Denfaminico (JP) magazine interview with the writers of the Honkai series. In this interview they talk about the HI3XHSR crossover, how they write the stories for the Honkai series, character variants, and future plans to bridge the gap between the two games and tell a story of cosmic scale that involves the entire Honkai Universe.

- Star Rail has been developed alongside Honkai Impact 3rd. They knew that they always wanted to do a collab between the 2 games, but they didn’t know precisely how before Vita appeared in the story and served as a perfect bridge for the two games.

- They initially wanted Welt to be the focus of the collab, but later realized that Sparkle and Vita were better suited and they wanted to save Welt for later plot developments regarding the connection of the two games.

- The reason they chose Sparkle is because she is a prankster who enjoys appearing out of nowhere, so it makes the most sense for her to just appear in the world of HI3.

- They also confirmed that Vita is 100% a Masked Fool now. And while they didn’t outright say it, it’s heavily implied that we might see her in HSR at some point.

- The purpose of the collab is to have HI3 players try out HSR. The writing team is aware that some players have only played one game between the two, so they wanted the event to be relaxing and not necessitate knowledge from the other game.

- Their reiterate again that the world view that Vita presented in Chapter 5, that of “how will the people from the HI3 world react when they will encounter the Unknown Universe.” This is my speculation, but given the recent story, they really want the story of HI3 to expand beyond one world at some point just like HSR.

- The main theme behind the Honkai series is “the potential of humanity”

- Honkai Impact 3rd has been going on for a long time, and as such it is difficult to continue evolving the game, however, it is challenging and fun for the devs.

- They ask about the connection between GGZ, HI3, and HSR, but the devs play dumb and intentionally don’t include GGZ in the discussion.

- HSR was created with the idea of always going to new places, experiencing different things, and meeting new people. (HI3 is more focused on a single setting and group of characters)

- They talk about how character variants are a way for them to showcase the vastness of the Honkai Series by having variants of the same people making different choices and ending up in totally different circumstances from their counterparts in other games. They also talk about how attached the devs are to Kiana, Mei, and Bronya since they have been with the series for a long time.

- They teased a new Kiana variant.
- They reiterate that variants are different people, but the core of the character remains the same across all variants.

- THIS CROSSOVER IS JUST A SMALL STEP TOWARD THE FUTURE OF THE HONKAI SERIES. IN THE FUTURE THEY WANT TO OVERLAP THE STORIES OF BOTH GAMES AND CREATE A TRUE “FUSION OF WORLDS”

Man, the art style of this game just doesn't work at all. The environment looks way too realistic for the characters and the characters themselves look generic af.

The concept is great, but I don't think that this is the game, or the studio, to get it right.

But hey, it does have a story skip button, so I'll give it a fair shot. Won't be sticking with it unless it blows my socks off, which I don't predict is going to happen TBH.

Login and spend your resin or do various other stuff
Either cleer the rougelike
Use a friend support(which is just using your resin with extra step)

Use the synthetsier or level up artifact


You get 200 a day out of 500
Just fron logging in and doing the expedition which is able to be done from anywhere and it's SENDING them out not receiving them back so u can cheese it



Basically
Login
Assignments
Use a friend support and spend resin
And then either synthesis or level relic
Gives all 500

Takes 3 mins
Since it's use friend support in ANY node
Once

Hsr bp has no daily mission

It's a weekly mission with 1400 resin
Gives about 350 per 100

And with the reserve resin system
You can basically just farm the bp on the last day of the week and still hit cap

And also do the bare minimum since as established u don't need more than 3 mins per day
