| Elemental Reaction: Lunar-Charged | When Electro meets Hydro, and certain other conditions are met, a special Lunar-Charged reaction occurs, and a thundercloud forms. This thundercloud will continuously release bursts of lightning at nearby targets who are affected by both Electro and Hydro, dealing Electro DMG. This DMG can trigger CRIT Hits, and the DMG dealt is based on all characters who have applied elements during the reaction. |
| Asha | Strange Monetoo that exhibit both a passion and talent for pigments. They can be found around the Easybreeze Holiday Resort and display an affinity for spiritual perception that is unusual among their kin from other regions — they can even be indwelt via Spiritspeaking. When you indwell one, you will be able to throw paintballs forward to attack or as a means of painting. Hold to enter aiming mode. |
| Graffiti | Perhaps because it's still in its soft opening phase, the Easybreeze Holiday Resort still has many areas filled with white spots that are yet to be painted... These areas are called Graffiti Zones. You can use your paint pigments to freely change the color of these areas. If you were to fill certain Graffiti Zones with color, perhaps something wonderful might happen... |
| Brewblossoms | Brewblossom pollen is a key ingredient in brewing Aphimead, while Brewblossoms themselves are known to possess spirits... Whenever someone strays too close, the plants will mercilessly close their petals. |
| Abnormal Brewblossom | Something strange seems to have gotten in amongst the Brewblossoms. These particular blossoms remain open, even when approached... Go investigate and see if you can find out what's going on... |
| Brewblossom Aphid | Remarkable aphids that have formed a symbiotic relationship with the Brewblossoms, helping to tend to the flowers while feeding off their nectar. You can press Summon to issue a command and call them to your side. |
| Dance-Off Stage | The Dance-Off Stage's control panel can be used to control the entire stage! You can spin the turntables, switch camera angles, and even control the Dance-Off Stage's mechanisms and alter its effects. Go on, give it a spin! |
| Saurian Staff Test Run | Drag the camera to face the preparing saurian staff and, when they're ready, ring the bell to instruct them to start operating the equipment. |
| Saurian Staff Test Run: Cruise Ship | When the saurian staff have finished preparing, you can ring the bell to instruct them to activate the wave machine. The Chompy Chompy Shark will rise to the surface at intervals. Carefully time the waves to guide the cruise ship through the shark's mouth and increase compatibility with the playtesters. When the cruise ship reaches its destination, if the testers' compatibility is sufficiently high, the facility's trial run will be viewed as a success! |
| Asha Speedrun | Issue commands and successfully guide the test-play Asha to the end of the route! When a test-play Asha passes over a Springboard, instruct the Tepetlisaurus staff to lift the Springboard. When one passes a Paintable Signpost, command the Asha staff to paint the correct direction on the sign to keep them moving forward. If the test-play Asha reaches their destination, then the amusement's trial run will be viewed as a success! |

I thought that Stygian Onslaught would be a permanent game mode, but I don’t see it anywhere in 5.8 data. Anyone know how often SO will return?
Apparently it’s frequent, but it takes a break for the first week of the patch. The next one is on the 8th of August.

* However, there will be a summer event around that patch
how cracked will Durin have to be to replace Xiangling AND Bennett? iirc Xiangling’s biggest strength lies in her lack of an internal cooldown, meaning she can constantly proc reactions. They don’t do stuff without icds anymore, mostly just cause that was a remnant of early development
not to mention Bennett’s buffs and the sheer ease of getting Bennett and/or Xiangling to a high constellation level. I’m kinda worried about Durin’s powercreep if hoyo is going to try to replace Benny and Xiangling
this is one-year worth of info! appreciate it! there are about 6 characters I’ll pull for regardless of their strength…the saving will be tight! haha
I see a future where hoyo will rework old crap constellation. They won’t replace anything, but they’ll add some stupid game/pseudo-lore excuse to let us decide whether to switch to the new set.
The day they’ll realize they can squeeze money even from that, because none but <50 IQ guys could pull something like Albedo's constellation, etc.
Source: hopeless trust me bro
ps. they made the impossibile: giving us reroll, tho it's quite a crap. It was unimmaginable last year, so keep dreaming.
while im not as pessimistic about it, i don’t think it’s unlikely that we’ll get buffs on some old characters now that hsr is doing that. hsr has a much sharper powercreep curve, so it makes sense they’d hand out buffs, but I could see a general Mondstadt to Inazuma buff or something
iI didnt know anything about hsr
and yeah if the same company is doing that, they have no excuse in avoiding the same in genshin, at least in the long period.
This is stupid and nothing more, you don’t need a degree in marketing to get that.
The only realistic scenario where they don’t have any utility, is totally throw old charas in a pit. Like forget albedo forever, forget eula, they’ve never existed: just pull new ones. Ok in that case it could be.
But for a new rerun it’s a trash scenario. Why should I even pull them when I have mavuika or skirk, for the same cost I mean. because another thing is reducing cost, yeah.
It’s like paying a utilty car or a ferrari the same price, and even with the same manteinance cost. (same resources to level up)
Nod-Krai Characters Names and Models (very STC)
Ciuciya —— Woman Bow
Veles —— Boy Catalyst
Aino —— Loli Sword
Sandrone —— Girl Catalyst
Perkun —— Male Bow (Electro)
Varka —— Male Sword (Anemo)
Vaijola —— Girl Sword
Astrine —— Woman Bow
Kalviene —— Girl Pole
Damselette —— Girl Catalyst (Hydro)
sandrone girl?!
Based on their names, I definitely see lots of Nordic, Slavic and Baltic inspiration here.
– Aino is straight up Finnish name, it comes from word “ainoa” which means “only one”.
– Vaijola sounds like a Finnish surname (If it was veijola, it would be).
– Perkun could be inspired by Baltic pagan god of thunder called Perkūnas or Perkons, depending of the country (in Finland we know him as Perkele, which also is probably the most well known Finnish curse word) and him being an Electro only fuels this theory.
– Veles is straight up a major god of earth, waters, livestock, and the underworld in Slavic paganism (I wonder what his element will be).
– Astrine sounds a lot like name “Astrid” which is a common name especially in Norway and Sweden. (And my name too, that’s why I’m the most interested about her).
I’m not sure about Ciuciya. It sounds more like a Natlan name than Nordic inspired name. If I had to guess, either Ciuciya or Astrine is the deer lady from the lates Nod-Krai teaser (because they’re only ones with the woman body type). I’m placing my money on Ciuciya.
I take back what I said about Ciuciya being the deer lady from the teaser. Apparently her name is Lauma (which btw means “herd” in Finnish, isn’t it funny that a half deer lady has name like that?)
Those names were very wrong 😂
Not all of them, Sandrone, Columbina and Durin were right 😀
User-Generated Content Gamemode (STC)
There will be a new permanent gamemode activated from the launcher where players can create content using elements from the game, much like Roblox Studio or UEFN. There will be two playable protagonists that can harness all 7 elements and a new map.
Info will be officialy revealed around the 5th anniversary.
!??!!??!
More info
* The gamemode may be called Miliastra Sandbox or Thousand Stars.
* You can customize your protagonist character. There will be a gacha system where you pull for clothing items for your character to wear. There will also be a Battle Pass.
* The game mode uses both a programming language similar to Lua or a node-based programming language akin to Scratch.
at first i thought this was a stupid joke but then i checked reddit
Nice of them to spend their time with this instead of fixing the problems in game and adding actual qol…
By QOL, this guy means making the game a check list that you can clear with zero effort. I know where you came from, lower caste.
Now imagine they’ll realize they can make a 5star “pseudo” instructor set
5 years and still nothing like this, or no crit. Just for the wielder, not for the team.
