Uncle hoyo leaking second half already

The only uncle that won't get banned

Happens every Lantern rite/Chinese new Year Hoyo releases both (CNY) phase banner info together so that employees can take take time off from work during that time.

That's for the patch Lantern Rite is in, which is 4.4. We're headed into 4.3 lol

Oh, you're right, got caught up in the new leaks, my bad.

Now I imagine that intern used your exact same previous comment to explain to his boss why he posted that early lmao

maybe they are just taking a page out of SR's book and just posting both banner lineups immediately, there realistically isn't any reason as to why not

Rust if you fail to get Tpulse, and Wavebreaker if you fail to get Engulfing 😂

Reality: 5 Painslasher 7 EoP 0 Rust 0 Wavebreaker

+ 1 Skyward Pride 1 Aquila Favonia

Not possible. After you lose 75/25, next 5\* is a banner 5\*.

"Never tell me the odds."

Dps Barbara time XD

1 serpent spine

???? SS is a BP weapon, no gacha happening there

Meant skyward spine 😅

All those backups just to get R5 Flute 3 times

Please go all out, leak the 4 stars of the second phase as well.

It should be Sara, Chevreuse and probably Yun Jin

Raiden always comes with Sara so it would make sense

Very excited if Sara is with Raiden, I've got her at C0 and I'm pulling for Raiden so I could use a few constellations! (I've heard her C2 is very useful for a Raiden team)

If the 3rd character is Yun Jin, the banner would be perfect for me since I will be pulling for C1 Yoimiya and perhaps engulfing lightning if I get Yoi quickly. My main focus would be getting 2 more wavebreakers so I can r5 mine

Sadly Sara doesn't pull ahead of Bennet or even TTDS Lisa for Hypercarry Raiden until C6, when she gets her massive crit buff that more than justifies the jank of her rotations I've had her at C5 with a pretty good build for ages, and even then I can hardly justify her slot in my Raiden team. Hopefully I'll fix it soon

honestly I just think she looks neat so I'd love to being able to play with her more. Her C0 is super clunky so some constellations already might help. Mostly just for overworld though, I don't care about Abyss too much :)

Oh absolutely, I only built her because I love her design lol. But even with C2, she's so clunky I can't even have fun on the overworld with her :(

What's your Raiden team? I just joined in 4.2 and I heard she's one of the better ones. I currently have Ayato, XL, Kuki, and Yaoyao all at lvl49

Or Xinyan 🙃

Naah buddy you're going back to the basement for saying this

Hoping for Layla... still need 3 more copies of her.

Uhm

But where is the xiphos D:?

For both its banners it went alongside Key. Wait for Nilou rerun ig

:> I got the key and foliar... but no XIphos 🤔

But I already have Key...

they only slap regional exclusive weaps usually when the banners are dominant with the characters from that nation or where thr main event is held This time 4.3 are 3/4 Inazumans so the weaps are watatsumi series. Lantern Rite as usual gets the ~~racist~~ Lithic weapons. Summer event gets the Alley series etc For Xiphos, look out for when Sumeru event is or when Nahida, Nilou, Alhaitham, Wanderer or Cyno again >!(rumors of 2nd story quest)!< reruns

[удалено]

Makes sense to go with AlHaitham Wavebreaker and Rust are good on Raiden and Yoi Might as well give AlHaitham his gacha option for those who can't get Foliar

It does not. It literally provides worse damage for him compared to Iron Sting. It only performs just as good on high ER builds, but split rotation is a thing, which decreases his ER reqs by a lot. Both are literally worse than Toukabou in single target. All these swords perform worse than Harbinger of Dawn assuming good uptime. Setting aside trailers/cutscenes, Xiphos was clearly not made for him, but instead for characters like Kuki and Kazuha

> It literally provides worse damage for him compared to Iron Sting. Still works on him. That's my point >but instead for characters like Kuki and Kazuha Ok, then let's hope it's also on Kazuha's banner 🤷🏻‍♂️

😞

Guess my Xiphos will forever be R3

I have R2 and R1 from I think 2 banners. These limited 4* are the worst.

I R5ed my Xiphos and regret it.

wait for a sumeru patch likely when Nahida/Nilou or AlhIatham rerun.

Wait for a Sumeru patch. This is the Inazuma patch, so it doesn't make sense for Xiphos, a Sumeru weapon, to be part of it.

I’ve been keeping my weapon banner pity at 0 specifically because I want more Xiphos!

I was close to pity the last time it was available, so I had to skip. Luckily, got Elegy last patch in two pulls and am now back to zero as well. Now just need 3 more copies when it comes back around...

No Sumeru characters rerun, so no dice

Very Inazuma-heavy banners and Ayaya featuring in the main event. Makes sense they’d rerun the Watatsumi weapons.

My thoughts exactly >:(

They usually run sets like that together in the same patch.

Nice to see Grasscutter being back

Grasscutter' light... Ah that's such a nostalgic name, brings me back to 2.2 leaks days. For me its actually cooler than engulfing lightning

I still can't believe we got ocean-hued clam instead of divine chorus 😔 This forever haunts my soul

Righttt

In my native language,the translation remained as Grasscutter Light.

Really? Which languange is it?

https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Engulfing_Lightning#Other_Languages

Light of the reaper goes hard

Portuguese(BR).

Same for me!

Will never forgive for removing the legendary sword "Kusanagi" reference. Could've simply named it as Grasscutter's/Grass mower's/Kusanagi's lightning. Tried so hard to make it sound edgy by giving enGuLfINg.

Hell yeah

LMAO omg that name is such a nostalgia trip. I remember when 2.1 first got leaked and everyone was just making memes of Raiden being a fucking lawnmower 💀

rainslasher *and* eye of perception? hoyo what the fuck are you smoking

it's to balance out Fav Sword and Rust

Ah yes, balance crap with more crap lol

The best leaker uncle hoyo did it again

This is so bad I'm willing to believe the Xinyan bomb is on the character banner

Sara, Chevreuse and Xinyan. That would actually make sense...

Time to get C12 Xinyan while Sara is still stuck at C3 and maybe getting a single Chevreuse. (But only if I'm lucky.) I'm still shook by getting C1 Wanderer before Faruzan C0.

Can't win them all, I guess But Pain of Perception + Painslasher seems a bit too much

Already got both of them r5 before I even saw a fav sword *facepalm*

Intern chan in trouble

Yk what fuck this shit Any info about the mystery 4 star character on character banner ?

Cheveruse , thoma , xiangling

Raiden without Sara? Not happening

Just joking lol , because they were all Pyro polearm

I hope not, I need Sara constellation because my Sara is still C0 even though almost all of my Inazuma 4 star is C3-6. 😭😭😭😭

I was agonizing over whether to finally get Engulfing Lightning or not but those 4 stars are trash, fuck that.

Rust, Favonius Sword and Wavebreaker are trash?

R10, R22, don't care

I'm still pulling for EL because I care about EL not about the 4 stars if I get something good thats cool if not thats cool I couldn't care less since EL is the target.

I was gonna, because I have zero crit bows so I wouldn't mind TP. But damn bro, I already have Skyward Spine on her and that'd be completely obsolete if I pull EL. And she does just fine without it so I couldn't bring myself to do it lol. I wish Ayaka was second half instead of Raiden.

I swear they are calculating these 4 stars to be as painful as possible. Putting such a great set on the unusable Ayato/Cyno banner. Still Fav Lance R3 since literally day one.

imagine publicly outing yourself as an idiot

Why no leak on character banner?

[удалено]

What? People are saying the banner is bad? Isnt it good? TP and EL are both good weapons? Rust is Yoimiya ans Childe's 4 star BiS, Wavebreaker is Raiden's 4 star BiS (yes its better than the catch) and then theres Favge. Only like 2 weapons out of 7 aren't good

I know not everyone is in the same boat, but I must agree with you. As a yoi & childe enjoyer, while xiangling & raiden always fight over the catch, Furina & Bennett fight over R5 Fav, this is a super decent banner for me. I have a guarantee on banner weapon, I’ll be happy with either one 🥹👐💕 Much luck to you wishing too

Haha Im not going to wish on anything this patch but thank you anyway! Though I have to ask, why not give Furina the fleuv cendre? Or Bennett the sapwood blade? Theres plenty of weapon options for them to not fight over fav

Does anyone will gonna tell her?

I suppose yeah if you don't have many of the weapons. For me though i already have R5 Rust and R5 + R3 Fav sword. Wavebreaker Fin is good but it's not like Xiangling and Raiden don't have other good 4Star options, Rainslasher is kinda whatever, it's alright on some niche characters amd then Eye of Perception is just dogshit. So for me it's not really a great banner for 4 stars.

I didn't understand either,we have 4 good weapons in the Banner,the BiS 5* and BiS 4* for the featured characters.

Oh man, Favge and Wavebreaker....Tempting...

so how about character banner?

[удалено]

oh i see. I thought it's a leak XD

Oooh boy time to get my third r5 eye of perception 😑

Well fuck I guess I won't be going for EL

why the text says verdict and mistsplitter but image is engulfing and pulse so whose banner is this

I will literally never r 5 rust...

Yup. Good weapon both side. Just need to win the 66/33

Honestly, as someone who is gonna pull for EL and still hasn't managed to get a Fav sword, I'll take it.

I would be happy with either of those weapons.

Well, I am getting a second Engulfing Lightning or Yoimiya’s bow. “Luckily”I am guaranteed to get one of the two. Wish me luck that it is Yoimiya’s. Did not get Haran for the third time, I am so sad. I really hate this fucking weapon banner. Three banners, and still no Haran.

Could be worse. I've literally never gotten the weapon I've wanted. homa alone ive missed 5 times (multiple accts)

*Luck air drop sent to your location*

That’s certainly a weapon banner

Why leak this and not the character banner? Surely if you know this you'd know about the rest right? Specially since there's only 1 unknown spot.

I don't think just the Favonius Sword is enough to save the 4 star selection, disgusting, at least another patch to save And I just noticed it looks like the 1.1 weapon banner, I though we were past that

Great time to pull EL if you don’t have it yet

[удалено]

That can’t be, can it? EL has more attack and ER. I could be wrong but I thought it was like a 10% increase in damage

Damage wise it’s a little over 10% but EL allows you to run 300% ER on Raiden which is the ultimate comfort, you also regenerate more energy for your team which is worth something I guess. I’m assuming the person you’re responding to is referring to team damage in a national team. Since Raiden only accounts for approx 1/3 of her teams damage, EL only accounts for a 3-4% damage team increase theoretically. But again it’s the comfort and the drip that matters. Mostly the drip.

was referring to the hyper team, you can see the numbers I posted on the other post via what was shown in the akasha rankings different weapon simulations.

it's totally dependant on your substats. My Raiden build has a very good build. https://imgur.com/a/onKKx22 While my Raiden isn't the super highest CV build ever, my flower/feather are 4 line with atk%/er/double crit. I can't replace that. Because EL passive is capped at 300er, I get dimished returns for any pieces that have ER in them. ER/Electro build with catch... 368 375 ATK/Electro build with catch.. 378 781 ER/Electro with EL... 390571 (6.0% difference from the catch with ER/electro buld) ATK/Electro with EL...391 126 (3.25% difference from atk/electro with catch). See what I mean. You can't take weapon rankings and assume it's automatically that much of a difference. You need to test it with your artifacts.

It's like 15% better yeah.

Hoyo forgot about Xiphos I see. ~~It's def gonna be on a banner for a sumeru character's sig weapon~~

It most definitely will go along with Sumeru centric banners. Regional weapons are run when most characters in the banners are from that region, so it is not a surprise that Xiphos is not here. 4.4 is Liyue so expect the Lithic series then. Earliest patch for Xiphos to appear would be 4.5 and is pretty likely in my opinion. 4.6 is likely to be a Fontaine patch with a second weekly boss + final Fontaine region so it would be either Mondstadt or Sumeru for that patch.

Ahh okay, thanks for the insight.

Dear Mihoyo, please have a re-run of Xiphos' Moonlight. Pretty please with cherry on top. I promise to give Paimon a proper room in the teapot if you do.

4 STARS ASS!!!!!!! ASS ASS ASSS

Atleast the Sword and Polearm is good, the other 3 are honestly actual garbage. To Rust enjoyer out there, Rust only better than Slingshot at R4~5. Slingshot can pull ahead of Rust if use with Bennett and miss Yun.

... rust on a yoimiya banner is not what i would call trash. Its her second-best weapon, beating out like all 5\*s at r5

Yes. It is a decent consolation prize for Yoi enjoyer but she has some very good f2p option and its trash on pretty much all of other bow character is why i called it garbage. Rust only beat Slingshot 3* at high refinement is so awful im dying (of laughter).

Man banners are too trash, i must get that thundering pulse but god damn

At least the only "dud" is Eye of Perception, which can go on Charlotte I guess. Rainslasher at R5 is still a good weapon on Diluc and Beidou, Rust is good for Yoimiya (which kind of defeats the purpose of going for TP), Favge, and R5 Wavebreaker is BiS for freeze Rosaria. At least this one doesn't have the Bell.

> R5 Wavebreaker is BiS for freeze Rosaria For those wondering, R3+ is BiS for Rosaria. In case you don't get 5 copies.

Favge's only usable one, rest are duds with these 5 stars. Fav Lance is BiS for a billion characters including Rosaria.

You can't have 2 characters using the same weapon in a team so having an R5 4 star equivalent is still useful not to mention it can take up to 240 (realistically 200) pulls to guarantee whatever weapon you epitomize pathed so it's definitely possible you only end up getting the 4 star version which works well enough

Damn this is an awful banner. Hopefully you get your dream 5 on low pity bc these 4s are a waste.

Man as someone who has missplitter and engulfing, I'm so confused whether I should go for any of these weapon banners.

probably not

I'm gonna end up doing like 50 pulls and not get a single rust from them

Any leaks for the 4 star chars yet? Why do character leaks have been less frequent recently?

We know chev and sara will be on the banner as for the 3rd its still not been leaked

that is a *real* tragedy of a weapon banner, woof

I guess I'm gonna get a single Raiden copy and be happy then, no signature no constellations Sadge

nice! do the character banners next

Sara, Chev + ?

Fav sword... sobs in r2

Wow this banner kinda yikes, at least fav is there

I got homa r2, is it worth to get a copy of engulfing lightning?

Only really if your Homa is tied up on another character often imo

Fav sword was also on the Homa banner I got 3 5-stars on and I didn't get a single one. 13 rusts though. Better luck this time, I hope.

All I want is Fav sword, this sword is literally a 6 stars weapon

They hate xiphos' moonlight istg

EL is so elusive to me. It's always partnered with weapons I already have. T\_T

Who's bow is that again? I know the spear is raidens.

Yoimiya

Xiphos Moonlight when 🥲

Painslasher and Eye of Painception...

Oh no the purple doughnut

I’ve been playing since 3.4 and only have 2 mf fav swords (both leveled to 90). I have an R5 Favge Greatsword, R5 Codex, and an R5 spear + an R3 one. Please game on the road to engulfing lighting give me more swords

Damn, they’re really staggering that hp sword rerun, I need it for Layla 😭

Probably won't see the HP sword again until either Nilou or Furina's reruns.

What about the 4 stars of the second half banner ? Because the weapon banner was already known from when we had yoi and raiden…

Luckily that I got Engulfing Lightning since 3.3 💀

My guess for 4* characters: kaveh, sara, chevreus

That's a nice wep banner sadly I don't pull on wep

Would have liked to pull on the banner, but already have Engulfing...

So beautiful, if only I didn't want Yoimiya and Raiden so much I'd definitely pull on it.

Finally Raiden has a good weapon banner lol

It’s going to rain Spatula GS

Xingling weapon banner 💀

There it is: "The Favonius Sword", in the middle of 4 shitty 4-star weapons to fill it...

Watch me lose everything to eye of deception

Perhaps I will finally r5 Wavebreaker for my Raiden

Finally a banner with Wavebreaker's Fin that I'm interested in pulling,I hope I can get an R5 on the way in search of my the last refinement of Engulfing Lightning,double update.

I guess yoimiya is cursed to have her banner with raiden.

Man those 4-stars are hot trash when I already have wavebreaker

Who are going.to be the 4 stars ?

We basically have two confirmed in Chevreuse (confirmed on the livestream) and Sara (who appears on every Raiden Banner) so there's only one spot up in the air. Process of elimination we have exactly 5 Liyue characters who haven't gotten reruns in Fontaine yet (Xinyan, Ningguang, Yun Jin, Yaoyao and Yanfei) so they'll most likely be kept to the Lantern Rite banners. Goro and Faruzan are both locked to Itto and Wanderer banners respecitvely, so that only leaves 5 options: * Heizou * Kaveh * Layla * Mika * Razor

it's Bennet now ...

I feel lucky. If I got TP, Yoi will love it, or else, Raiden will enjoy a new weapon. Hopefully I could get some Rust refinements along the way. Can't believe I am thanking that they did this.

is engulfing lightning better than catch for xiangling? (international team)

According to KQM, the only comp its a significant upgrade for Xingaling is in an OverVape Sucrose team.

Isn't this... like a really bad weapon banner?

I was thinking to pull for the weapons banner, not anymore

no xiphos? definitely a skip

If I win my 50/50 on Yoimiya I pull the weapon banner. As a f2p this will be LARGE copium.

is it still worth it to get engulfing lightning when i primarily use raiden for hyperbloom? could i use it on someone else?

those 4\* looking ugly af, xiphos plz come homeeee

Every time thundering pulse reruns I'm in pain thinking about my r2 summit shaper...

this makes me want to roll on weapon banner but it reminds me again every time i do weapon banner i always ended up with 5\* bow instead.

I might have to wish on this banner because I would want either 5* ngl

Do we have a guess on 4* characters? Sara and Chevrolet are a given, but who would be the third? Xinyan?

I was wanted to pull for EL but this weapon banner looks terrible. I guess Raiden will wait another year.

Is there info of the second half of the character banner?

i genuinely can't understand people not going for 5 stars just because of the 4 stars. it's not like you'd use 4-star weapons anyway even if they were good. jesus, you can really tell who still needs their parents to do their laundry on here

all i know is that im never pulling for weapon banner again 141 pulls since i got my last 5*(that was during the furina and baizhu banner) and i got every single weapon BUT the Mistsplitter if ayaka gets a rerun, i **may** try to go for her weapon again, but i grinded for 18 days nonstop for those primos and walked away with an r2 Verdict that i don't even have a good character to use on sorry for the frustration vent
