28:42 Bran, you used to NOT get a wish for every other ascension level for characters. When they implemented this, accounts that had every character at max ascension got like….50+ standard wishes.
There are no pink fates too for completing eaxh Archon quest act. And when they did we got many pink fates too. Bruhh I love getting free fates just from the progressing the game. Maybe then can add more of it. Maybe by leveling up 4 star and 5 star weapons? 😅😅😅
The game tried to screw me with that Tartaglia fight by increasing my world level with a level up on the quest prior to the fight. Beat it on my first try thx to Noelle. Her shield just ate that lightning attack and kept my party alive long enough to struggle through the fight. She was the first character I triple crowned and she will always be the Mondstadt wife.
The uber foods event wasn't bad per say, it's just super hard and specific. When the mission says you can't get affected by elements, it really means all shallow puddles are your enemy.
No, it was BAD. There was one mfer who WANTED FOOD AT A WATERFALL AND THE WATERFALL COULD AFFECT U WITH HYDRO IF U WERE EVEN NEAR IT I WANTED TO SCREAM AT THAT ONE ALSO THAT MS. MA’AM ON THE BAMBOO BOAT OHHHHHHHHHH
"I wish I was here for original Tartaglia" I miss original Tartaglia fight, it was so FREAKING hard, and it set the tone for the Harbingers SO well, but equally so it forced you to learn his patterns, I can still go through his fight without being hit ONCE because I've learned ALL of his animations and it was GREAT! "You're already dead, you're out of stamina" (blinks wildly)... Guys... The one shot electro attack is tied to his Riptide debuff... remove it by supercharging yourself on the walls that inflict pyro. In a parallel world, Genshin has bosses like FFXIV (but less HP I hope) and I LOVE IT.
Kaeya and Diluc's dialogue in Golden Apple is quite funny, Kaeya tells the story of how they were trapped on a small island there and couldn't go anywhere because Diluc's footsteps melted the ice bridge. and regarding the Skin issue, I heard that Mihoyo was afraid to release the Skin because he had received threats to the CEO. At that time the problems at Honkai Impact3 were very crazy. because of that, Mihoyo was afraid to release the skin for character.
The real reason why they don't make a lot of skins in genshin is because they decided to make some kind of events for the skins that explain the appearance of these skins on the characters. That is, they set a rule for themselves in which each skin should be something that the character can put on themselves, and should also fit into the world. Well, also, most likely other financial reasons, such as perhaps creating a skin is not more profitable than creating a character. The reason you gave as an example is a different skin situation. Mihoyo once created bunny girl suits skins for characters in hi3rd, and of course these skins are not possible for Chinese players due to Chinese censorship, so they made these skins only for global. The Chinese players didn't like it very much and one of them went to their office to Кi|| the CEO of their company, he failed, and mihoyo apologized to the Chinese players, completely deleted these skins and gave Chinese players a free reward.

Guys….you don’t understand how much people didn’t understand what the HELL they were doing in 1.0-1.2. People legit DID NOT KNOW what the stat “elemental mastery” did AT ALL. It was a basic attacking meta for QUITE a while.
1.1 event is where Mona and Fischl become friends. They don't know each other back in 1.0. Same goes for Benette and Razor back in 1.4 windblume fest. They became friends when they both got trap at thousand winds temple Razor was hunting boars for food while Benette is hunting for treasures. prior to 1.4version they don't know each other. These Flagship events seems to be canon as you can see Benette and Razor are good friends in weinlesefest where the event story is about Razor's parents
Something to remember is that events are canon to other events, but they aren't canon to the main story (otherwise Paimon in particular wouldn't be surprised when certain things happen, such as Oceanids being able to take a human form since that was part of the main story in the 2023 summer event and also that one event with the poems).
didnt know that the mysterious ice inside dragonspine had a very difficult challenge even for above average people i thought i was just underleveled anyway i finally beat it after getting chevreuse (and leveled my stuff to 40)
Heres a crazy take: i prefer Barbara's voice now than the old one. People say that it sounds depressed but to me it just sounds more calm and down to earth. The old one doesnt match her character as well. I swear the same people who are upset over the change in the delivery of her lines are the ones who legit lost it over pallad pushing sucrose lmao.
I wasn't into Barbara's design because she was just generic fantasy healer, but her voice made me love her... then her voice changed and it disappointed me. Now it no longer bothers me, I'll just be waiting for another healer character that had the same vibes as 1.0 Barbara.
as someone who played in the 1.x era, the quantity of rooms with hydro/cryo based debuffs taught me how to cleanse debuffs and had Beidou and Venti.... I shield the tail swipes with beidou and then hold E when he started spawning elemental balls in the map and then just kept fighting Azhdaha long after I stopped getting rewards for fighting him after he got released.... Flowing water was removable by applying not-hydro-cryo to your whole team and making sure that elemental application applies to the shield/heal's full duration. So Bennett and Xinyan as cleansers because Beidou's ult shield didn't apply electro to the whole team and her e only applied electro to herself in the second or so of her initial casting of it.
For Fischl they shouldve choosen a voice actor thats german but speaks english that actually would bring it over more lore accurate and also wouldnt be as cringe and would be with someone that can actually speak the words.
Oh btw, creasant pike xiangling was actually good early game, since feeding her energy was not an option, and she still was a free character, that was viaboe to get theough the early game Who else did we realistically have? Kaeya and noelle i would say
Yeah I was to busy exploring to complete the archon quest, so you can imagine how annoyed I was that I didn’t get to experience it. One of the reasons it was only 5 people also was because you had to be high enough AR, and most players were in the 20s.
I remember losing the Tartaglia fight like... 3 times before beating him after changing my team and builds a bit. The day it came out. I didn't even know it got nerfed..... By the time i learned, id already beaten him up enough times to not even notice because i just did it so fast...
lol the part about Azhdaha when people be complaining about not having Zhongli! It's like they forgot that Diona even exists! Her shield is perfectly capable of taking a couple hits from him. if you can't beat Azhdaha without a shield grab Barbara for excessive healing LOL! Honestly it's just a skill issue XD That boss was my favorite!
I needed 7 tries to finally beat him and it was with geo characters i didn't build yet😢 I switched to geo characters bc it felt like it was going better, i didn't had zhongli back then obviously
As a person who literally started playing Genshin Impact with no way knowing how to respectfully use these characters and only keep running and dodging around enemies while slowly dealing damage over time, this video was certainly helpful in the most comical form possible. Now I just feel ridiculous, hurray.
People not realizing that you can remove the riptide mark in the childe boss fight by literally just touching the wall. That was one of the main things that killed people back then.
to explain, Childe's riptide in the boss fight allowed him to do several moves that were basically 1-shot hits for anyone not prepared, most of them being very wide AOE attacks. Removing the riptide mark on yourself forced him to only use some of his basic attacks.
@@BeeBeeBones Yes, people really didn't realize it. in my discord group, they were crying about the difficulty, but I beat Childe before the nerf, Like to the point I never saw him doing any 1 hit kill attack until a friend mentioned it.
24:20 it's hard, yeah, but mostly due to phone issue. like: stuff inside domain (like Childe and Dvalin) were generally easier for low-end phone user like me back then. but Dragonspine, beautiful it is, any fight is laggy. in the end I Qiqi-ed (and Klee) the shit out of it, tho.
the tartaglia fight was so hard that i didn't return to fight him until like a year later (back then i didn't keep up with the news so i didn't know they nerfed it)
@@sammuel282 no, he was hard, like no other bosses does One hit kills casually like he does, but most people decided to cry about it to mihoyo instead of adapt.
Yea i remember taking like 4 or five days to actually beat the child boss for the story to the point where the statue of the seven was always empty 🥺 tha good ol days
my now boyfriend joined my world during the the second golden apple archipelago asking me about why i like childe so much. we've been together for 1,5 years now. while sometimes i get mad at this game, i just remember that it sort of gave me the love of my life and that usually calms me down real fast
fun fact, people asked for the childe boss nerf back then. and i was so confused because i play this game so much i beat childe on the first try back then lol
i hold so many memories with the first windblume, it's always number 1 in my heart. so many memories with my friends, especially the minigame then fight domain!! when it got announced it would rerun, my friends almost lost their hearing because i yelled so damn loud during the stream 😭
2:38 I experienced this. My level 80 Klee who was my strongest character at the time couldn’t even touch him, I had to use food buffs to beat him, they only fixed it when people bitched about it. Those people ruined our only challenging boss.
Fun fact azdaha is named after Aži Dahāka, and in zoroastrium stories he’s sometimes manipulated by ahriman, the zoroastrian Satan, so he technically in a way IS the devil, kind of, by proxy
I remember the original difficulty of Tartaglia fight. I sucked at building characters (I still do 😆) so it was even harder. I tired several times but I gave up. Tried the next day and I managed to beat him after 3rd or 4th time. It was the hardest battle I've encountered in this game.
Thanks for this reaction. And yep, it took a while for people to decide normal attacks weren't the main damage source. Fischl was the top DPS of the alpha guides.
I remembered when I first started when Inazuma was about to be introduced. I was relaxing during 1.6 patch, taking my time exploring Monstadt and sightseeing in Liyue. But then Inazuma was released and the free Beidou is only accessible if you can get to Inazuma. I was scrambling with the Archon quest. I wasn't prepared for when I had to fight Tartaglia. Thankfully, he was already nerfed by then and I went through it first try only to also be dropped right into fight with the last boss of Liyue.
I hate the fact Tartaglia was nerfed, ofc its somewhat important because when the fight happens hes the first actual hard boss and the time you do the fight youre still relatively weak so to say, Still many or like most players joined after the nerf and think hes super weak in the lore because of it too, hes a Harbinger even if the last place hes one of the strongest beings in Teyvat ofc he ranks under archons and most of the other harbingers (except 9 and 5) still hes one of the most powerful in Lore but the fact his fight was nerfed hard makes many believe hes super weak, which in lore he isnt. I wouldve liked if the story version is the nerfed and the regular domain one is the old strong one.
I remember when Azhdaha released. I did end up pulling Zhongli cause I was pulling for Yanfei at the time. I was new, not very well geared and this fight was extremely hard for me. Asking my friends for help the only answer I would get would be "Build Zhongli" and I hated hearing over and over instead of any actual suggestion to help me improve. I made it a point that I would not fight that boss until I could do it on my own by myself. You know what? Took me several weeks/maybe a few months but I did it with my Physical Razor build. I didn't what to fall into the "shield meta" at the time and hoo boy was Inazuma and the Rifthounds a shake up for all who relied on shields only if they didn't learn to dodge.
I am a 2.0 starter and i remember a time that Ed Sheeran eas so strong he even ignores my johnlee shield and gets through. Then weeks aftr that, he got nerfed.
Man playing during this time was great. I remember it a little bit. The childe fight was difficult but not as hard because I got to that part of the story after the patch, so I didnt get to experience pre nerf tartaglia. When Hu tao was leaked I was so hyped for her, because she looked cute and sounded really good, but we just kept not getting her and then we got a troll Keqing banner before her banner actually appeared. So much stuff were different, If i could go back I would, It was a time where I played the game more, and wasnt burnt out all the time. The early days of genshin were great. Edit: If I also went back I would wanna test out the early tartaglia fight to see how difficult it actually was, maybe that would have been fun as well.
This video just teached me that genshin community single handedly killed hoyo desire to make end game and then this community started crying about where is end game
Looking at xiangling shenanigan in this video makes me remeber how the definition of good character was different than current genshin, since we still figuring out how is the game works 🤣
I still can’t believe people were this stupid on how to build, aside from understanding how em worked/scaled everything is just standard stuff that has been around in tons of games Yes understanding how much valuable crit is might not be completely obvious, but the fact that it will have benefitting returns as soon as you invest into it is obvious, stacking atk will always have faster diminishing returns if it’s the only stat your dmg scales on/you don't add the additional multiplyers available And yeah don't get me started on misunderstanding the value of having off-field dmg dealers... I really hope there were people who understood things fast because it looks like me at 13 trying to understand how to build in monster hunter wich is more complex than genshin's, espescially pre-MHW
20:37... Since the Release of Dragonspine when i initially did that i made it my mission to carry all of my Friends through that segment so they NEVER have to suffer like i did 💀
I remember not being able to beat childe then I gave up and eventually came back to whoop him with no issues and assumed I had some weird skill issue in the past so I'm glad to know he was actually harder lol
8:19 i play en dub until i met fishl, then i switched to jp dub and stayed there even now. as a german, hearing her not even try to somewhat pronounce it properly is pure painful cringe.
20:22 Oh good god. That one was a b******tch. I had improvise with everything that I could at the time because I kept freezing all over the place and my characters couldn't deal enough damage to kill them fast 💀
Tartaglia fight wasn't hard. It was just long. But it did required minimum competency to not die to whale (which since fight was long guaranteed 3 or 4 procs at least) and to manage shields and/or healing. But that's it. As annoying as Azdaha at most. Difference was that it was early patch, there were not enough net guides to raise general level of newbie competency and pretty much 99% were newbies. And so Childe massacred everybody. Replace him with big geo dragon? Everybody would've wipe too. PS. It was also period when XQ was underappreciated and Bennet was considered outright bad. Healer of preference were Qiqi (who is bad against fast moving target and let just say Childe was fast) and Jean (and staying in healing circle was just asking to get whaled). I had something like Diluc, C4 Barbara, C4/5 Fish and Klee I think... or was it still Kaeya... worked just fine with Barbara "low HP? Lol NOPE" and Diluc being chonky enough and I was hit by whale like 3 times before properly got how to doge it. PPS. But it was soooo annoying... like 30 minutes annoying.
Honestly, I had no problem with the Childe fight. I had every problem with the Fatui dropping in on the Jade Chamber afterward. I had no real sense of team building, just whatever felt fun, and my "team" was good enough to survive a 1v1 but not run around the platform and fight off Fatui.
I cleared the Childe fight. The Secret was Razor ER build, stay in wolf ult the entire fight, 90% electro res. Ez. Also I figured out the edge of the arena clears the mark fairly quick.
I beat the tartaglia original fight easily first time, and was shocked at how easy it was. Had a team of Jean, Beidou, Xiangling, and Diona. Diona and Beidou parry ate childes attacks, and jean and dionas stacked healing made the fight so goddamn easy, even when it was hard. I was actually shocked that others were complaining how hard he was.
4:20 alright I knew they’d changed it shortly after I beat it, but I didn’t know so few of us managed to beat OG Childe. I barely even remember what team I’d used to beat Childe that first time, all I know is that I was a Geo Traveler main back then. Gods that feels like an entire lifetime ago now 6:15 bottom right is Koefficient Sometimes I forget that way back at the start of the game, people *loved* the Crescent Pike. It was basically the only Polearm anyone bothered to look at, and the meta was all about Phys damage, Attack% and NA’s because people were still trying to figure out what the hell EM was useful for, how useful was ER and how Elemental Reactions worked. I’m pretty sure that for a quite a while, people only used Rust on Fischl. It would be interesting if we could see what Artifact sets and weapons people were using back then, because it might as well have been a completely different world. Hitting a thousand damage was insane to us. I think if we could have seen Fontaine character damage back then, our minds would have exploded. 24:13 Mine is still R1 because I was too busy working to grind the event back then. Still a great weapon, even only at R1, but that is one of my biggest regrets in Genshin Impact 49:46 yeah, it’s pretty bad. At R5, it’s a 6 second Attack buff of 32% after using an Elemental Skill. The *only* thing it has going for it nowadays is it’s EM substat. I’m pretty sure it’s one of those copium F2P options for Tighnari 1:18:43 imagine if, one day, Genshin decides to sell pre nerf Rosaria and Shenhe skins. Stonks
childe's downward swipe while he has you targeted was basically meant to be a one hit ko attack, assumably regardless of your current hp or level. it was dodgeable, iirc and if you didn't get painted by his target he'd drop somewhere completely random, i think
Back then Childe could easily one-shot you if you take too long to fight, First with his whale attack and then his plunge attack in phase 3, So people cheese him with Geo traveller. Just like Dvalin if you take too long to kill it every platform will turn into a deathtrap prevent you to fight. Also back then we need all the damage we can get so that's why we got physical fischl and physical xiangling. The first time i'm beating him with Childe, Mona and Benett it took me 6 times.
25:11 I felt this same exact way about Unreconciled Stars and Mona's story quest. Mona's SQ was so uninteresting to me and felt like it could have been a limited time event if you peppered in a little more activities, meanwhile Unreconciled Stars was vastly more interesting, way more important to GI lore, and introduced one of the most notable Fatui characters for the first time who would become a PC later. meeting Scara in the V2 arc made almost no sense without having played Unreconciled Stars. it would have made a great Mona SQ.

Omg YES !!! I'm from Germany and her voice is okay the voice actor does a good job but it sounds really strange when she speaks German
But she's larping. So there's no reason for her to speak ideal German
2:25 Ah, I miss the time when I defeated Childe in a coop with some friends (they died) using Barbara. Heal, slap, run away. Good ol' early game.
Oh btw, creasant pike xiangling was actually good early game, since feeding her energy was not an option, and she still was a free character, that was viaboe to get theough the early game
Who else did we realistically have? Kaeya and noelle i would say
Yeah I was to busy exploring to complete the archon quest, so you can imagine how annoyed I was that I didn’t get to experience it.
One of the reasons it was only 5 people also was because you had to be high enough AR, and most players were in the 20s.
I remember losing the Tartaglia fight like... 3 times before beating him after changing my team and builds a bit. The day it came out.
I didn't even know it got nerfed..... By the time i learned, id already beaten him up enough times to not even notice because i just did it so fast...
lol the part about Azhdaha when people be complaining about not having Zhongli! It's like they forgot that Diona even exists! Her shield is perfectly capable of taking a couple hits from him. if you can't beat Azhdaha without a shield grab Barbara for excessive healing LOL! Honestly it's just a skill issue XD That boss was my favorite!
I needed 7 tries to finally beat him and it was with geo characters i didn't build yet😢
I switched to geo characters bc it felt like it was going better, i didn't had zhongli back then obviously
As a person who literally started playing Genshin Impact with no way knowing how to respectfully use these characters and only keep running and dodging around enemies while slowly dealing damage over time, this video was certainly helpful in the most comical form possible. Now I just feel ridiculous, hurray.
People not realizing that you can remove the riptide mark in the childe boss fight by literally just touching the wall. That was one of the main things that killed people back then.
to explain, Childe's riptide in the boss fight allowed him to do several moves that were basically 1-shot hits for anyone not prepared, most of them being very wide AOE attacks. Removing the riptide mark on yourself forced him to only use some of his basic attacks.
@@BeeBeeBones Yes, people really didn't realize it. in my discord group, they were crying about the difficulty, but I beat Childe before the nerf, Like to the point I never saw him doing any 1 hit kill attack until a friend mentioned it.
24:20 it's hard, yeah, but mostly due to phone issue. like: stuff inside domain (like Childe and Dvalin) were generally easier for low-end phone user like me back then.
but Dragonspine, beautiful it is, any fight is laggy.
in the end I Qiqi-ed (and Klee) the shit out of it, tho.
the tartaglia fight was so hard that i didn't return to fight him until like a year later (back then i didn't keep up with the news so i didn't know they nerfed it)
tbh Childe was never that difficult for me. because Qiqi tanks everything.
Form me was jean and barbara in the same team
The days when qiqi was S tier
Never once died except when i wanna yortute my friend by forcing them into fighting stage 90 tartaglia with unbuild barbruh
Because he never was "hard", it's just video bait
@@sammuel282 no, he was hard, like no other bosses does One hit kills casually like he does, but most people decided to cry about it to mihoyo instead of adapt.
Yea i remember taking like 4 or five days to actually beat the child boss for the story to the point where the statue of the seven was always empty 🥺 tha good ol days
my now boyfriend joined my world during the the second golden apple archipelago asking me about why i like childe so much. we've been together for 1,5 years now. while sometimes i get mad at this game, i just remember that it sort of gave me the love of my life and that usually calms me down real fast
fun fact, people asked for the childe boss nerf back then. and i was so confused because i play this game so much i beat childe on the first try back then lol
i hold so many memories with the first windblume, it's always number 1 in my heart. so many memories with my friends, especially the minigame then fight domain!! when it got announced it would rerun, my friends almost lost their hearing because i yelled so damn loud during the stream 😭
20:35 I did this challenge at least a year ago, but it only took 2 seconds of video for all those suppressed memories to come back......
2:38 I experienced this. My level 80 Klee who was my strongest character at the time couldn’t even touch him, I had to use food buffs to beat him, they only fixed it when people bitched about it. Those people ruined our only challenging boss.
Fun fact azdaha is named after Aži Dahāka, and in zoroastrium stories he’s sometimes manipulated by ahriman, the zoroastrian Satan, so he technically in a way IS the devil, kind of, by proxy
Funny thing is I got my first Keqing on the Hu Tao banner so technically I didn't miss her rate up banner since she jumped in front of Hu Tao 😊
I remember the original difficulty of Tartaglia fight. I sucked at building characters (I still do 😆) so it was even harder. I tired several times but I gave up. Tried the next day and I managed to beat him after 3rd or 4th time. It was the hardest battle I've encountered in this game.
Thanks for this reaction.
And yep, it took a while for people to decide normal attacks weren't the main damage source.
Fischl was the top DPS of the alpha guides.
i love akashot's videos. You never expect what its about everytime u play something
Don't forget that rosaria got weapon animation nerf too
I remembered when I first started when Inazuma was about to be introduced. I was relaxing during 1.6 patch, taking my time exploring Monstadt and sightseeing in Liyue. But then Inazuma was released and the free Beidou is only accessible if you can get to Inazuma. I was scrambling with the Archon quest. I wasn't prepared for when I had to fight Tartaglia. Thankfully, he was already nerfed by then and I went through it first try only to also be dropped right into fight with the last boss of Liyue.
I hate the fact Tartaglia was nerfed, ofc its somewhat important because when the fight happens hes the first actual hard boss and the time you do the fight youre still relatively weak so to say,
Still many or like most players joined after the nerf and think hes super weak in the lore because of it too, hes a Harbinger even if the last place hes one of the strongest beings in Teyvat ofc he ranks under archons and most of the other harbingers (except 9 and 5) still hes one of the most powerful in Lore but the fact his fight was nerfed hard makes many believe hes super weak, which in lore he isnt.
I wouldve liked if the story version is the nerfed and the regular domain one is the old strong one.
I remember when Azhdaha released. I did end up pulling Zhongli cause I was pulling for Yanfei at the time. I was new, not very well geared and this fight was extremely hard for me. Asking my friends for help the only answer I would get would be "Build Zhongli" and I hated hearing over and over instead of any actual suggestion to help me improve. I made it a point that I would not fight that boss until I could do it on my own by myself. You know what? Took me several weeks/maybe a few months but I did it with my Physical Razor build. I didn't what to fall into the "shield meta" at the time and hoo boy was Inazuma and the Rifthounds a shake up for all who relied on shields only if they didn't learn to dodge.
BROOO NO HATE TOWARDS PHYSICAL XIANGLING SHE CARRIED HALF OF US UP UNTIL 1.4
50:05 it's funny that you literally have a pokemon battle with sourians in a natlan world quest, like attack, defend, heal, run away were the options
I am a 2.0 starter and i remember a time that Ed Sheeran eas so strong he even ignores my johnlee shield and gets through. Then weeks aftr that, he got nerfed.
Man playing during this time was great. I remember it a little bit. The childe fight was difficult but not as hard because I got to that part of the story after the patch, so I didnt get to experience pre nerf tartaglia. When Hu tao was leaked I was so hyped for her, because she looked cute and sounded really good, but we just kept not getting her and then we got a troll Keqing banner before her banner actually appeared. So much stuff were different, If i could go back I would, It was a time where I played the game more, and wasnt burnt out all the time. The early days of genshin were great.
Edit: If I also went back I would wanna test out the early tartaglia fight to see how difficult it actually was, maybe that would have been fun as well.
AZHDAHA WAS IN 1.5!!? I feel old...
I did a part of Dragon Spine at Ar14 or 16 and I cheesed the Yeti boss thing with Amber.
This video just teached me that genshin community single handedly killed hoyo desire to make end game and then this community started crying about where is end game
Yeah a lot of people skipped original kazuha for ayaka. I'm so glad i pulled for kazuha he became my main and really made me enjoy the game
Looking at xiangling shenanigan in this video makes me remeber how the definition of good character was different than current genshin, since we still figuring out how is the game works 🤣
Ah the days when I thought Crescent Pike and phys goblet Xiangling was powerful.
I still recommend new players Crescent Pike Xiangling to keeping the tradition alive. She was the first main dps I built
7:54 I’m gonna need you to chill on the wife slander 🔫
Honkai is connected to genshin and Aether is the Abyss prince
Pyro characters still burn the grass,as if anyone here who uses Arlecchino nowadays sets some Forests or Grassfields on fire,every day
Physicall XianLing was a thing at the start:) I used her like this hhhh
20:35 Wait they gave us 3 minutes??? It felt like 60 seconds 😭
I didnt even knou could climb the dragon. I just used ganyu.
I love how everytime fischel speaks german it doesnt sound like german at all. I mean i am german and its kinda cringe thats why i play on japanese.
I still can’t believe people were this stupid on how to build, aside from understanding how em worked/scaled everything is just standard stuff that has been around in tons of games
Yes understanding how much valuable crit is might not be completely obvious, but the fact that it will have benefitting returns as soon as you invest into it is obvious, stacking atk will always have faster diminishing returns if it’s the only stat your dmg scales on/you don't add the additional multiplyers available
And yeah don't get me started on misunderstanding the value of having off-field dmg dealers...
I really hope there were people who understood things fast because it looks like me at 13 trying to understand how to build in monster hunter wich is more complex than genshin's, espescially pre-MHW
You know you just got here, and you know it’s gonna be good 💀
I miss Dragonspine. and yeah 20:18 lol that was hard. way harder than Childe.
THE FIRST Theater Mechanicus is my favorite gamemode in Genshin.
Why the f...they changed, i hate those f... cards.
To this day I think Dragon Spine is my favorite added location. The chasm would be my second.
I love how watching your channel also get us some pretty awesome video recomendations XD
i didnt know there were only 5 who beat the lore accurate tartaglia i beat him same day as release it wasnt even that hard i just used beidou
The skin part is so real. Like brother 1 character in hi3 has more skins than genshin itself
20:37... Since the Release of Dragonspine when i initially did that i made it my mission to carry all of my Friends through that segment so they NEVER have to suffer like i did 💀
I remember not being able to beat childe then I gave up and eventually came back to whoop him with no issues and assumed I had some weird skill issue in the past so I'm glad to know he was actually harder lol
8:19 i play en dub until i met fishl, then i switched to jp dub and stayed there even now.
as a german, hearing her not even try to somewhat pronounce it properly is pure painful cringe.
I still have that crescent pike for OG xiangling😂
And my crescent bow for ganyu.
0:20 "I love the boys" Ayo Bran whattt
"The Boys" the show
13:40 NOT THE XIANGLING GUIDE 😭😭💀💀💀
20:22 Oh good god. That one was a b******tch. I had improvise with everything that I could at the time because I kept freezing all over the place and my characters couldn't deal enough damage to kill them fast 💀
I remember all of these moments. The childe boss was insane!! Everyone had to co-op
I miss first lantern rite. More quests will always do, really.
This is peak cinematic Fiction
Tartaglia fight wasn't hard. It was just long. But it did required minimum competency to not die to whale (which since fight was long guaranteed 3 or 4 procs at least) and to manage shields and/or healing. But that's it. As annoying as Azdaha at most.
Difference was that it was early patch, there were not enough net guides to raise general level of newbie competency and pretty much 99% were newbies. And so Childe massacred everybody. Replace him with big geo dragon? Everybody would've wipe too.
PS. It was also period when XQ was underappreciated and Bennet was considered outright bad. Healer of preference were Qiqi (who is bad against fast moving target and let just say Childe was fast) and Jean (and staying in healing circle was just asking to get whaled). I had something like Diluc, C4 Barbara, C4/5 Fish and Klee I think... or was it still Kaeya... worked just fine with Barbara "low HP? Lol NOPE" and Diluc being chonky enough and I was hit by whale like 3 times before properly got how to doge it.
PPS. But it was soooo annoying... like 30 minutes annoying.
Honestly, I had no problem with the Childe fight. I had every problem with the Fatui dropping in on the Jade Chamber afterward. I had no real sense of team building, just whatever felt fun, and my "team" was good enough to survive a 1v1 but not run around the platform and fight off Fatui.
Fischl's design is so cool and she seems fun but as a German I just... cannot 😂
I know right 😂 I mean Immernachtsreich sound okay but Prinzessin der Verurteilung
@@YKDiehl her dialogue always makes me cringe so hard 😭 i'm playing the summer event right now and just...no 🥲
33:17 ah yeah. KKOMDA's first big breakout
I cleared the Childe fight. The Secret was Razor ER build, stay in wolf ult the entire fight, 90% electro res. Ez. Also I figured out the edge of the arena clears the mark fairly quick.
They nerfed Shenhe like Rosaria on her new outfit for Lantern rite
I beat the tartaglia original fight easily first time, and was shocked at how easy it was. Had a team of Jean, Beidou, Xiangling, and Diona. Diona and Beidou parry ate childes attacks, and jean and dionas stacked healing made the fight so goddamn easy, even when it was hard. I was actually shocked that others were complaining how hard he was.
4:20 alright I knew they’d changed it shortly after I beat it, but I didn’t know so few of us managed to beat OG Childe. I barely even remember what team I’d used to beat Childe that first time, all I know is that I was a Geo Traveler main back then. Gods that feels like an entire lifetime ago now
6:15 bottom right is Koefficient
Sometimes I forget that way back at the start of the game, people *loved* the Crescent Pike. It was basically the only Polearm anyone bothered to look at, and the meta was all about Phys damage, Attack% and NA’s because people were still trying to figure out what the hell EM was useful for, how useful was ER and how Elemental Reactions worked. I’m pretty sure that for a quite a while, people only used Rust on Fischl. It would be interesting if we could see what Artifact sets and weapons people were using back then, because it might as well have been a completely different world. Hitting a thousand damage was insane to us. I think if we could have seen Fontaine character damage back then, our minds would have exploded.
24:13 Mine is still R1 because I was too busy working to grind the event back then. Still a great weapon, even only at R1, but that is one of my biggest regrets in Genshin Impact
49:46 yeah, it’s pretty bad. At R5, it’s a 6 second Attack buff of 32% after using an Elemental Skill. The *only* thing it has going for it nowadays is it’s EM substat. I’m pretty sure it’s one of those copium F2P options for Tighnari
1:18:43 imagine if, one day, Genshin decides to sell pre nerf Rosaria and Shenhe skins. Stonks
childe's downward swipe while he has you targeted was basically meant to be a one hit ko attack, assumably regardless of your current hp or level. it was dodgeable, iirc and if you didn't get painted by his target he'd drop somewhere completely random, i think
tbf back then since there werent so many weapons and artifacts sets,ppl used to build physical dmg chars,thus crescent pike made sense for that role
Back then Childe could easily one-shot you if you take too long to fight, First with his whale attack and then his plunge attack in phase 3, So people cheese him with Geo traveller.
Just like Dvalin if you take too long to kill it every platform will turn into a deathtrap prevent you to fight. Also back then we need all the damage we can get so that's why we got physical fischl and physical xiangling. The first time i'm beating him with Childe, Mona and Benett it took me 6 times.
It's not because "you took too long" people didn't realize you have to cleanse his mark by walking to the walls of the domain.
40:45 ah yes. I miss those, too.
Kazuha is everything. I love him so much. I will die on that hill
Same. X3
I played against Tartaglia on the release day of 1.1, about the only thing that scared me was that whale attack xDDD
The torch on the cryo/hydro artifact domain back then didn't have a torch near it. They added that later.
13:10 CHINESE AVANGERS
20:19 omg, I struggled so hard with this one, I actually had a couple of friends help me out with it lmao
25:11 I felt this same exact way about Unreconciled Stars and Mona's story quest. Mona's SQ was so uninteresting to me and felt like it could have been a limited time event if you peppered in a little more activities, meanwhile Unreconciled Stars was vastly more interesting, way more important to GI lore, and introduced one of the most notable Fatui characters for the first time who would become a PC later. meeting Scara in the V2 arc made almost no sense without having played Unreconciled Stars. it would have made a great Mona SQ.
1:00:52 This is why Genshin will never have an end game or any hard content ever again.
Tbf, alotta ppl are complaining how hard current Star rail content is, but the devs aren’t giving a damn and keeping them the way it is.
