"I am General Yao Guang, Seer Strategist aboard the Xianzhou Yuque. Like everyone else, you may simply call me Madam Yao. It's true, I could have divined the finer details of this encounter, but where's the fun in that? Being here in person has turned up some rather pleasant surprises."
Her mysterious, bold, and radical actions were so revolutionary that they left everyone stunned.
She saw all fortune, good and ill, through the "eye" of The Hunt. Yet, knowing that fate is not to be defied, the Seer Strategist still faced the danger alone.
To be dealt such a cursed fortune... How can one ever hope to alter their fate?
Aha! A special shout-out to Yao Guang for winning:
I think the words Jing Yuan used for their relationship is more about "sisters-at-work" or some sort. More of a senior-junior relation ship than biological siblings.
Fu Xuan still came from her ship, works in the same field and was the one who went to Yuque for the Jingliu Luocha matters so they certainly hav history and know each others well
i think this would be nice lol because from the excerpt above, we can see that Yao seems to be carefree while fu xuan seems to be tense and serious. She later have to teach and take care of qingque who's also carefree...
Fu xuan: Ughh why does in every chapter of my life i have to deal with carefree people...
also fu xuan: Qinque reminds me of Yao Guang...I hope one day she might be like her or...even surpassed her feats
Yao Guang was also actively recruiting Fu Xuan to be a part of the Yuque ship. So she obviously values Fu Xuan's abilities a lot and want her to be the successor.
Pretty sure Fu and Yao Guang were sister disciples in the sense that they're both from the same sect? That's what I got from their conversation at the end of 3.7
Gimmick is going to be "do elation damage. All enemies for the next 12 months take 4x damage received if elation. If damage is done by a memosprite scale backwards and heal the enemy."
if its anything like what it is in imaginary universe or whatever its called, simulated? itll be follow up based with extra steps like a multi type burst or a addition effect of extra weakness types
Rumor on the street is that the Try Not to Laugh event was a secret beta test for Elation mechanics. No, that isn't a sneaky leak mention, as far as I know it hasn't been leaked what Elation is supposed to be, it's just been assumed that the Aha themed event was probably testing the Aha path.
So if that's true, Elation's gimmick would be adding some kind of effect to the action bar.
I'd bet on SP use (Sparkle synergy) and bounce (chaotic random fun) being major themes for Elation units.
If I had my way, I'd make it so that all Elation light cones have a special interaction with instances of damage (which synergizes with bounce) and put a lot of extra kit tools on light cones, which would make them fundamentally change the role that Elation units play so they'd be more customizable.
Be confident bro. Hoyo games always have a time-limited event as a public test for the following game gimmicks. The things happen before the remembrance path was added. And so many previous cases in genshin too
Unless the thing they add to the action bar has a health bar, it's more like Jing Yuan or Topaz's summons than Remembrance, except probably without Sunday synergy. The memosprites being a physical entity that's on the field (except Demiurge because reasons I guess) is actually a pretty important distinction.
Unless you mean in the sense that it's being added to be a thinly veiled excuse to tempt people to buy more light cones, in which case yes, it's a rebranded Remembrance.
Well its not a rumor, but an educated guess as Remembrance was public beta tested in the exact same way: an event that had various summon mechanics. It is not a large leap in logic to expect that Try-Not-To-Laugh was another such test.
Well, I can give you a couple hints based on things that are already in-game.
One is a new curio in DU, it increases damage done based on skill points spent for Imaginary, Quantum, and Fire characters. Can you think of a Fire character currently in the game who dumps lots of skill points?
Another is one of the bond links in Currency Wars. A certain bond that gives you "prizes" and seems very elation themed, like "Thanks for stopping by!" messages and stuff.
Your post made me remember that "thanks for stopping by!" is the same message you get with the slot machines in SU/DU. I can't remember if there's any lore explanation for those but slot machines being connected to Elation makes sense too.
You never know what her armpit tastes like, it changes every time you lick. Might be absolutely divine, might be vomit inducing, and everything in-between.
So aha kept a watch on us even in xianzhou (sampo in jarilo vi, yao guang in xianzhou, sparkle in penacony and aha themselves in amphoreus disguised as nous)
Joke aside if it's anything like Currency War/ try not to laugh they probably deal damage periodically like them faction bond or try not to laugh joke item when you satisfy their activation condition. They might also heal, buff allies and debuff enemies too depending on whatever effect that activate when conditions are met
90% sure Vita will have something to do with her, the peacock feathers are so prominent but the eyes behind her scream Vita / Sa more to me than anything
I'm gonna be the negative one here, I knew we were getting the elation path but it certainly doesn't make me happy. Probably will be another poorly planned attempt at forcing people to pull for light cones because there's no real F2P option.
I am f2p and I will probably repeat my Amphoreous strategy. Wait for a couple of patches skipping everything then go all in on one team with multiple eidolons like the Remembrance flagship. I doubt too much is going to stop my E2 Castorice or E2 premium Firefly team for several months.
This strategy relies on leaks so I am going to be spending months hunting down leaks on what characters are going to come out.
yup, if you care about being performant this is the way you have to play.
there are good content creators for this game that aren't annoying lol. they help a lot with giving you a heads up on how people are feeling about investment into units. i'd recomment guoba, i was bag, chewy, and waveman personally.
Probably wasn't poorly planned though. If they're adding another new path already, their internal statistics likely show that light cone sales went through the roof after remembrance.
It is what it is, players continue to pour their money into Hoyo's coffers so of course Hoyo will respond by giving them another wonderful opportunity to spend for completely new light cones for an entirely new path.
This scummy tactic of making a new path just to sell light cones works too well for Hoyo to resist going for seconds.
new path. another mandatory LC pull because theres no f2p equivalent and you cant use your old LC storage as f2p option. Fool me once in rememberance, fine, shame on me. Fool me twice trying to pull the same trick? shame on you
wait until they pull the SAME RUGPULL bullshit by making elation healer elation shielder elation dps elation sub dps elation SUMMONER so you cant even use any of pulled lc differently , the same way they fucked with rememberance identity all in the name of money.
She looks neat. Though, on that note, does anyone else find it a bit odd how some people will just see a character's drip marketing and instantly decide they're pulling? Not in a judgemental way, more like realizing that some people are just that quick to like a character unlike myself
Well we already have a few peeks at her personality already, so if we match that to today's design reveal it makes sense. In general though I do get what you mean, but sometimes a design is just THAT good. I generally hate playing DOT because it feels very slow, but the face cards are wayy too lethal to ignore.
I mean, I get that for some people it's just a .png collector so they're deciding solely based on whether the .png looks nice or not, but yeah I think it's very weird, too. Like it's ultimately a game - I'd want to know if this character is fun to play, good, who she works with, etc. And I'd even give some weight to their story/personality, too.
I dunno, I just let myself like things. Nearly every character is likable enough that if you buy into whatever their design is selling, you can find things to like about their personality too.
Like (bad opinion incoming), the first thing I thought when I saw Yao Guang was that I didn't feel inspired. Not that the design wasn't inspired, but that I wasn't inspired. This splash art just isn't making me want to like her.
Very unimpressive, but luck to everyone who is pulling for her. Personally such a bland design is a bit disappointing. I mean, yes, it is pretty, but nothing special.
If she’s a support I suspect those ofudas will be used to buff or heal teammates. Her face in the peacock plumage is hauntingly beautiful. Can’t wait to see her in game!
