      How? I got into whole inazuma lore, and if you want to cover every note, Yae's books, hints, ei and Scara story, enkonomia, etc., it's already getting ridiculously big. I mean, genshin has a lot of lore inside. He would have to make multiple part explenation what is already going on and then start making theroise for another 3 episodes. Its too big for him imo. Besides fandom is already getting salty for his shallow understanding on what is really happening. Too big expectation for him to nail it. I would watch it tho:)

    • @sweetflowersucrose9839
      @sweetflowersucrose9839 Рік тому +142

      Yes, but it is actually a specific reason why its only those 3 elements have reactions and it’s related to the lore. It was said in a interview with the devs that dendro was the final peice in the elemental puzzle which can be taken literally. Since if you were to draw up all of the elements and connect them by their reactions in a particular way, it creates the appearance of a symbol called the tree of life. I can’t remember it all of the information on why this is important so I can’t do it justice but if I find the vid I’ll add a link cuz it’s a really well made analysis but to make a long story short, just like every single other tiny detail, it has a freaky amount of symbolism and meaning to Genshins overarching story.

    It’s a shame that MatPat won’t dive deeper into the lore of this game. There are so many secrets hidden in dialog and books relating to the archons and the history of teyvat, all the way to the future and predictions for the end of the game itself. The devs put in so much research into real world religions and cultures! It’s kinda sad that all the theories MatPat does about genshin are surface level predictions and discoveries. The fact that he only makes these theories when he’s sponsored is a little sad too. At least there’s other channels that actively look through and read the deeper lore hidden within the game

      The "on command" part is obviously for gameplay purposes, but, going off of this video, the explosions can be attributed to the same thing talked about with lightning striking a tree. Heated water becomes steam. When trapped inside a plant, this generates enough pressure to explode out. Basically, just think of it like popcorn.

    Interesting thing about the word Dendro, a dendrogram is a "hierarchical clustering algorithm" like a family tree or a program that computes a descending algorithm (from what I understand of programming). Also, the Dendron/tree translation is interesting as the Irminsul, the tree that records everything that happens in Teyvat, is like a big computer!

    To be honest, the first one sounds more like burgeon. The heat (heat = pyro) from the lightning is causing the trees to explode, just like how pyro makes bloom seeds explode.

    My favourite hyper bloom team is nahida as E as the dendro applicator, then barbra as the Bloom generator, and kuki as the catalyst to activate hyperbloom, causing dendro to be re applied and the cycle continues

    This just further proves that Yae is getting more and more valid with Aggravate, it's like she's premade for Aggravate teams.

      @@izu1624 not exactly
      Fischl is very much universal like Xingqiu, Xiangling and Bennett, all of them can support many teams with great outcome, but it's just that, support. Yae is, tbh, a grown up Fischl, but she fits on the Aggravate niche better, as she does most is being a Sub DPS with premium teams.

    Matpat please do a game theory on the Trauma Team/Trauma Center series. It’s one of my favorite series and it has very little coverage. Plus they cover a lot of potentially world ending pandemics which feels like a popular topic these days!
