Finally. The content drought for Genshin is near its end !
Lots of interesting new characters, like the blonde lady (Navia ?), the judge (Neuvilette ?), black-haired “leather guy” (Wtfsley ?), and of course the Arlechino and the Hydro Archon. But my favorite is the gun lady (Captain R / Clorinde ?). She better not get Dehya’d !
It doesn’t have to be great, as long as it provides a decent change of pace.
But i hope it will be popular : i’d be glad if they expand underwater exploration to areas like Cider Lake, or between the archipels of Inazuma.
For now, i believe it’s just part of the underwater exploration : maybe from a gadget or something you pick-up underwater.
Still, it could be interesting : traveller’s kits often have similarities with the archon of the same element. And we’re all wondering how they can make the hydro archon relevant, when we already have so many great hydro units. But there’s no hydro shielder yet…
If Focalors turns out to be a shielder with added utility or damage, i know who will get the last slot in my Raiden/Kokomi hyperbloom.
Let’s be honest : Eula waited this long because she’s not a great unit to begin with. So, character banners aren’t looking that good, and don’t get me started on the weapon banner.
But speaking about skins : Kaeya is getting one too. So, it would be nice surprise for him to have a banner rate-up as well. I’m sure a lot of people would like to have his constellations.
I really hope we get some surprise about the banners.
As it is, things don’t look good : no new characters, and it’s not like Eula or Klee will create any hype…
I actually enjoyed this abyss cycle (except for chamber 12-1-1, and its bs rng). Just look at all the weird teams part 2 incentivized us to play.
And frankly, it’s not as difficult as people make it to be : floor 12-2 and 12-3 are relatively easy when you know which teammates to bring (or not to bring). And it’s nice to have a floor as challenging as floor 12-1.
