I’m from the future, spoiler:
in version 2356 of this game they’ll finally remove their retard 60 FPS limits
just wait they’ll do it
but it’s not importan, so now they’re focusing on really important thing
like organizing happy birthday email and say hello to their fkn mother
Wow. Guess who’s in the Chronicled Wish banner…
Added Kaz to the chronicled wish, wonder why? He seems like he’s always in demand/still incredibly useful.
Maybe they’re testing the waters? Or maybe they’re trying to bait folks to get that banner?
I will not be surprised if venti or another archon gets added to it. Or hu tao or other characters.
What is peoples thoughts on kaz getting added? Or the potential of other characters?
Curiously they didn’t added mizuki to it, the previous two had standard characters as well.
Mizuki is not included because she was only added recently (5.4) and one of the rules of the Chronicled Wish is that it doesn’t include characters who recently had a banner. Even if you consider that she is now standard character, she would have only been available for 3 patches (including 5.6 when the Inazuma Chronicled Wish Drops). I have no doubt that Mizuki will be added for the next one.
In terms of Kazhua, despite the fact that he is still quite good (in fact I still consider him to be top tier) he has been replaced by Xilonen in many teams.
Chiori is also interesting as she is modern character (released last year during Fontaine, in 4.5) but she wasn’t as prominent in the meta even back then.
Genshin Impact has a rather large cast of characters at this time (it will be 99 in 5.6!) so I believe Hoyoverse is using the Chronicled Wish banners to release mostly older characters so they can focus on the more modern and relevant characters for the normal limited banners. So this means that the normal limited banners will consist of characters from Fontaine, Natlan, and eventually Nod Krai/Snezhnaya.
Considering that Kazhua is in the Inazuma Chronicled Wish, I now expect that both Hu Tao and Yelan will part of the next Liyue Chronicled Wish Banner, whenever it happens. Xianyun just had her first re-run (2nd appearance) for a regular event wish so she also should qualify for the next Liyue Chronicled Wish.
I expect that we will get a Sumeru Chronicled Wish sometime in 2025.
One last thing I wanted to mention is that Hoyoverse seems to be exempting archons from appearing in the Chronicled Wish for their perspective regions. This is likely due to their important roles in the plot and enduring popularity in among the playerbase. Because of this, I don’t see Hoyoverse ever “demoting” an archon to a Chronicled Wish banner. This is why Raiden Shogun is running with a normal event banner at the same time as the Inazuma Chronicled Wish.
Correct me if I’m making a mistake
if I create a WHOLE build with elixass, and every 41 days I get 2 of them (1 created 1 bought), considering the min CV value (2.7 rate and 5.4 dmg, 3 lines, if I’m not wrong) and the worst guaranteed roll (2.7 x 3 = 16.2 CV per artifact), it means: 16.2 x 3 = 48.6 (flower – feather – sands) + 62.2 (circlet) + another 16.2 as substat.
Total = 127 CV
which is the minimum you get.
I have no idea on how probabily will work for the rest. But unless you’re worse than Mr bean, let’s say you reach 150-160.
if so, using elixirs for such worths it? (considering I always want skirk, i don’t care the other set, and I still can farm codex domain which is 1 trillion times better)
