A Peep Was Asking For A TodoDeku Version Of The Extrovert Shield But I Didn’t Really See Izuku As An

Tips for New Genshin Players I wish I knew starting out!

1.) Every adventure has its end, take your time! There’s loads of stuff to do in this game and it can be easy when starting out to feel the need to steamroll through it all. Make it last! With the exception of time limited events there’s no reason to rush through it all in a few months. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re AR50+ and still have things to do outside of events/abyss.

2.) This is a gacha game first, and a PVE game second. While I firmly stand by the belief this game can be played 100% for free, it is designed to make you want to spend your money on it. If you are someone who struggles with impulse control or gambling addiction, I strongly caution you to be careful with this game. Know your spending limits and don’t let FOMO of a certain character or weapon convince you to make any risky financial decisions. Every character in this game is viable, including the free ones given at the start!

3.) You get 180 resin per day which caps at 160. Don’t waste your resin early game on artifacts because you’ll end up replacing them anyway. Instead, use your resin on exp materials, mora, talent and ascension materials. You’ll thank yourself later!

Do not get baited into using your fragile resin early on. Wait until you’re at least World Level 7 (AR45) before using this to get the most out of it!

4.) Level up your talents! Go to character profile > talents > level up. Most DPS characters you’ll want to prioritize Normal Attacks first, then Skill and Burst depending which one you use more. Support Characters will typically prioritize Burst and Skill over auto attacks. These are just general assumptions, every character is different so be sure to read through all of their talents to get a feel for how they work as a unit. (Ex: Yae Miko is a DPS but her damage is focused on skill and burst, not her normal attacks.)

5.) Know how wishes work! Intertwined Fates can be used on the Limited-Time Character & Weapon Banners, while Acquaint Fates can be used on the Permanent banner.

On all banners you are guaranteed at least one 4⭐️ every 10 wishes, and one 5⭐️ every 90 wishes. Soft pity for 5⭐️ starts around 70 pulls, meaning the odds are slightly higher. Use this to your advantage if there’s a character you’re saving for! You can check how many wishes you’ve made by looking at History on the respective banner’s main menu.

6.) More on wishes: The Standard and Weapon banners are a trap! Especially if you’re f2p, you should never use your primogems on these banners! The character rate up banner is much more valuable because it has a guarantee system in place.

If you do not pull the featured limited character on your first 5 star pull, you are guaranteed to get the limited character next time you pull a 5 star. This guarantee carries over to future rate ups as well, meaning if you pulled Qiqi on Venti’s banner, you can save for another limited character you like to get a rate up and get them guaranteed later on.

Because it’s a 50/50 chance and you cannot pull 5⭐️ weapons on the character banner, this is also the best way to get the non limited 5⭐️ characters Diluc, Jean, Keqing, Qiqi, and Mona.

The weapon and standard banners do not have a guarantee like this. You can pull and pull and pull and never get the character or weapon you’re looking for. By all means, use the free Acquaint Fates you get in game to wish on the standard banner, but never use your primos on standard banner! As for the weapon banner, I recommend you only pull on this banner if you (1) Are okay with pulling literally any 5⭐️ weapon, and (2) already have a good roster of 5 ⭐️ characters you like. Characters > Weapons all the way!

Edit: the weapon banner now has epitomized path, which lets you select which weapon you prefer. This is more for whales and dolphin players though, since it takes two failed 5⭐️ pulls (~240 wishes) to guarantee the weapon you selected. I strongly caution wishing here unless you have a good roster of characters, and again, are okay with pulling literally any 5⭐️ weapon.

7.) Use your resources wisely! Especially early game when you have so few characters it can be tempting to level them all up. Wait until you have a few characters that you really like first, and prioritize your main DPS unit over everyone else. Save your low level artifacts to use as fodder later on!

8.) Artifacts. Welcome to pain. As mentioned in number 1, do not waste your time farming artifacts until you’re AR45+. This is because before that world level you aren’t guaranteed 5⭐️ artifacts on your runs, which means they will end being replaced anyway once you do obtain 5⭐️ artifacts. I also do not recommend using your fragile resin on artifacts. They are way too RNG based you’re much better off using fragile resin to farm Leylines and Weapon/Talent ascension materials because you’re guaranteed to be get good drops and you’ll always need these types of items.

9.) Be careful playing with randoms in Co-Op. As a rule, I typically keep Co-Op turned off unless I’m playing with friends. Once you let someone in your world they can pretty much do anything aside from open your chests. Not the end of the world, but can be really crappy if they steal all the Cecilias or Wolfhooks you needed to build certain characters.

10.) BE AWARE OF SCAMMERS/HACKERS!

If miHoYo ever gives anything for free it will be through the game or an online event accessible through the game. I feel like this should be a little obvious, but there is a considerable amount of account theft/trading within the community so I’m making a point of it. Do not under any circumstances share your login information with anyone else. I also recommend using a unique email and password that is unshared with any other database, especially social media like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr etc (this is standard account safety). At the very least use a unique password and DO NOT fall for scam ads that say they give you free primogems. Again, miHoYo is giving anything for free it’s going to be in game.

11.) Once you can craft it, Condensed Resin is a huge time saver! It basically halves the time it takes to farm materials since it essentially lets you do two runs at once. The domain of Guyun, Windrise, and Dawn Winery are all great locations to farm Crystal flies!

12.) If you want to spend money without gambling, Welkin and BP are fantastic options that only cost $15 together for one month. Welkin alone is a great value for $5 and BP provides a shit ton of extra materials, resin, wishes, and really nice 4⭐️ weapons! Really great options if you want a little more out of the game without whaling 🐳

I think that about covers it all. If anyone else has tips definitely reblog and include them!

Noelle Build Guide

Noelle is a character that everyone has access to and is a fan favorite. She’s also been on several rate ups recently so I figured I’d go ahead and do a guide for everyone’s favorite shield maiden.

Role

Noelle is an interesting case because when you read her talents and kit she screams support, but she’s actually much better as a DPS....if built right. This is in large part due to her not regenerating energy well on her own. Generally, supports need good ER to be effective at their role. It’s one of the main reasons Bennett is so good at what he does. When a support can’t contribute energy particles to the rest of the team it makes them feel very clunky to play and outclassed by other supports.

Basically, Noelle is a support character that needs to be supported, so it’s honestly easier just to build her as a DPS.

She can be a bit challenging to build at c0 for this role, but doable. If your Noelle is c6 then she’s a monster.

Noelle can still be a great support, especially at c1+. She just needs other supports that can help her regenerate energy so she can keep her ult up.

Gameplay tip: When using her to heal use her spin charge attack to get the most healing per second

Talents

As a DPS prioritize Noelles normal attacks first, her Burst second and her shield last. As a support do the exact opposite!

Noelle’s talents ascend with books of Resistance, Hilichurl Masks and at higher levels, Dvalin’s Claw.

As a support Noelle is fine to stop at Lv70/80. As a DPS take her to Lv90

Weapons

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Redhorn Stonethresher; The Unforged; Wolf’s Gravestone; Skyward Pride

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Serpent Spine; Whiteblind; Blackcliff Slasher; Litchic Blade;

Redhorn Stonethresher is BiS. If your energy recharge is high enough, the BP weapon Serpent Spine is second best for main carry Noelle because she can abuse its passive. If ER is low Skyward Pride can be better than SS. If you don’t want to spend the $10 and don’t have any of the 5⭐️ listed above there are other options in the blackcliff and litchic claymores. Keep in mind that Atk% claymores like the Unforged and WGS are better than *most* 4 star options, but not as effective as the other options listed since Noelle scales off Defense, especially with c6.

The craftable weapon Whiteblind is BiS for support Noelle. It’s not really recommended for DPS as much as the other listed options though.

Artifacts

Overview - DPS

(4pc) Husk of Opulent Dreams; (2pc) Husk, (2pc) Archaic Petra; (4pc) Retracing Bolide; (4pc) Gladiator

If your Noelle is c6 Husk of Opulent Dreams is without a doubt the best set bonus to go for. Even prior to c6 It’s still the most consistent option.

Stats

Timepiece: Atk% or Def%

*Run Atk% unless your Noelle is c6, then run Def%

Goblet: Geo Dmg Bonus

Circlet: Crit

Sub Stat Priority

(~180%) Energy Recharge > Crit > Def% > Atk% > Def > Atk

Overview - Support

(4pc) Maiden Beloved; (2pc) Maiden, (2pc) Husk of Opulent Dreams; (2pc) Maiden, (2pc) Retracing Bolide

Any of the above sets can work depending on what you want to get out of Noelle. For more healing, Maiden is the best bet but it can also be paired with Husk for stronger shield or retracing Bolide to make her more tanky during sweeping time. 🧹

Note: Defenders is better for overall stronger shield whereas Bolide is better if Noelle is on the field a lot. Bolide only affects the wearer, not the entire team.

Stats

Timepiece: Def %

Goblet: Def%

Circlet: Healing Bonus

Sub Stat Priority

Def% > Energy Recharge > Def

Support Noelle keeps it simple with stats. Stack DEF% and ER and she’s good to go. Shoot for at least 180% ER

Team Comps

BiS teammates for Noelle are other geo characters that can help her regenerate energy particles. This is almost a necessity as a DPS to keep the uptime of her ult. Gorou is her best support as DPS.

Beyond Geo Resonance Noelle doesn’t really have too many limitations as far as team comps go. As a DPS she pairs well with sub DPS who can battery her to keep her ult up. Gorou, Zhongli and Albedo are amazing options if you have them. Bennett and Fischl are good partners for their shield breaking capabilities and Fischl’s off-field damage. Xingqiu is also a great battery. As a support you just swap Noelle in to tank damage and heal her your teammates with her charged attacks so really she works with anyone, but she will need a battery.

Team Samples

F2P - DPS

Noelle + Geo MC + Xiangling + Fischl

DPS

Noelle + Zhongli + Albedo + Gorou

Noelle + Geo + Bennett + Fischl

F2P - Support

Geo MC + Noelle + Xiangling + Fischl

Kaeya + Noelle + Fischl + Geo MC

Support

Ningguang + Bennett + Noelle + Xiangling

Zhongli + Bennett + Noelle + Fischl

TLDR

Noelle is a really cute character that comes in clutch if she’s built right. She is much better overall with her constellations but still viable even at c0. Her talents ascend with books of Resistance, Hilichurl Masks, and Dvalin’s Claw. Serpent Spine and Whiteblind are her best weapons for DPS and Support respectively. Husk of Opulent Dreams is her best artifact set.She relies on her teammates to regenerate energy for her since she can’t do it on her own.

If you’re a Noelle stan hopefully this guide was a bit useful :)

Young Royals Parallels #4 - Kan vi snacka?

welcome to a series where I analyse the living daylights out of this show

Now, unless Netflix has done my (pitifully monolingual) self a disservice, this translates to “Can we talk?”.  And boy, can we talk. There’s been a bit of discussion already about how Simon and Wilhelm’s relationship is so refreshing to watch because of the healthy level of communication between the two. This is excellent writing by an excellent team throughout the entire series, creating a story arc that is realistic and nuanced, with miscommunication not employed for cheap drama. However, I want to talk specifically about the two times Wilhelm uses the exact words “Kan vi snacka?”. Stay with me -

–

The first time we see this play out it’s over text in episode 3, as Wilhelm wants to chat to Simon about their slumber party plans after parent’s lunch:

These three words precede the honest conversation about how Wille has heard August’s plans to stay at school over the weekend and, to keep their little burgeoning I-want-to-hang-out-with-you situation a secret, asks Simon if he can stay at his place instead. First off, this is a brilliant example of not taking the obvious story route, where Wille and Simon stay at school unaware August is there, and August finds out about them that way, potentially using this information in a blackmail fashion - as is seen all too often; the weaponisation of queer relationships in this way. (Keep in mind at this moment the audience is unaware of the events that will follow to close out episode 3, so for most of us I’d bet that stereotypical setup was the prevalent expectation.)

However, what makes this scene so intriguing is when you realise where they are - at the windowsill where their first kiss took place in episode 2. We actually get almost the exact same sequence in both scenes (though the frame is tighter in episode 2 - greater level of intimacy/secrecy?) of Wilhelm alone at the window, and Simon walking into frame to meet him.

(episode 2)

(episode 3)

Most significantly for this parallel though, is that this is the first place Wilhelm tried (and failed spectacularly) to articulate anything of significance to Simon. “I’m not… sorry. I’m not… Wait!” is all we get out of Wilhelm in that scene. He’s trying so hard to tell Simon something, using his words, and he just… can’t. He resorts to carefully kissing Simon back in that moment (which is definitely appropriate and what the situation called for, I’m not trying to say the episode 2 scene was wrong in any way, it was simply not a conversation). It’s also important to note the words we do get out of him aren’t in support of pursuing Simon at all, it seems to be a defense of compulsory heteronormativity. 

The contrast between these two interactions at the windowsill is astronomical. By the time we get to the end of episode 3, Wilhelm’s had some time to think, time to process, time to work out what he wants, time to be okay with his wanting. We’re getting full sentences from him! About his regard for Simon (and Simon’s family) and wanting to be involved with the people closest to him! He’s communicating his wants and needs! Which signifies he’s now comfortable with what he wants, and what he wants is hang time with his wittle cwush Simon. Ugh I just love how it’s the same place, it’s brilliant.

–

Now onto the second time we hear the words, this time actually spoken, in episode 5. This is the scene directly after August reveals to Wilhelm that Simon’s the one that provided the drugs. Wilhelm asks Simon to chat; to tell him about Alexander being caught, to ask him about the pills. (Side note: I love this brilliant moment from Omar here, look at how fast Simon’s smile falls away when he gets a good look at Wille’s face. He’s all dimpled ‘my boy wants me’, and then 0.2 seconds later is a furrowed brow and ‘oh no, my boy needs me’.)

This conversation is another example of how this show did not take the easy way out in terms of a plot complication device formed from miscommunication. As soon as we hear August tell Wille about Simon’s role in their illicit activities, an audience raised on stereotypical (generally US) teen dramas would be thinking that Wille’s going to be annoyed with Simon immediately, perhaps take action to spite him, or blow up at him publicly. Or alternatively that this will fester as an unresolved issue and be brought up as an argument later in their relationship. The show does neither of these things, it says to us “Can we talk?” and proceeds to smash all of our expectations to smithereens.

Wilhelm asks point blank what’s happened. Simon is open and completely honest, hard as that must have been. Wilhelm relays exactly the conversation that happened in the little Society meeting. From there the conversation devolves into a… heated discussion - there’s tension, they don’t agree. This is one of the first times, in a conversation between only the two of them, that their class divide hovers like an elephant in the room (as opposed to earlier on, when it’s been other people - August, etc. - pointing out their differences in station). I may be mistaken, but I also believe this is the first time Simon calls Wille ‘Prince’ to his face; which is big, huge, in the narrative of their relationship. Wilhelm was not, in his mind, Simon’s ‘Prince’ before now. Wilhelm likes Simon’s socialist talk in theory, but in this scene he butts up against the fact that he isn’t completely separated from the vaguely anti-monarchist rhetoric of Simon’s. Simon doesn’t dislike the monarchy but likes Wilhelm, Simon dislikes the monarchy and likes Wilhelm. There’s a distinct difference, as with Erik’s death, Wilhelm is now the sole future of the monarchy. What a cross to bear.

And once again, look at where Wilhelm takes him to have this conversation; remember the “Simon. Don’t you know how to read sheet music?” scene? The conversation in episode 5 takes place in the school music room, which we first became acquainted with when Simon tried to talk about their kiss at the beginning of episode 3.

(episode 3)

(episode 5)

We can draw similar parallels here as above - in episode 3, Wilhelm is not really talking to Simon yet. It’s “Because I did say, you know, that I’m not…”, compared to the more developed, mature and nuanced conversation happening in episode 5.

However, the biggest difference here is Simon’s response to a disagreement with Wilhelm. In episode 3, Wille asks if they can forget about the kiss, and Simon nods. He says yes, he says that he gets it. When Wilhelm asks if he’s sure, he says “That’s fine.” (spoiler alert, it’s not fine). At this point the stakes are lower, Simon’s not sure Wilhelm’s in this, he’s not sure what he can ask for. He obviously does not understand in the slightest and is not okay with how Wilhelm is brushing him off, but he says it’s fine and walks away from the conversation.

Contrast this with Simon’s position in the conversation in episode 5, where he stands his ground. He knows now that Wilhelm wants this, wants him. He questions Wilhelm’s assumptions. When Wille talks about his family’s reputation, Simon asks but what about him and his family? Simon’s under the assumption there’s the start of an “us”, that they’re on the same rung of the ladder, and rightfully questions when Wilhelm makes statements contrary to what Simon believed was a shared understanding of their situation. Simon walks out of this conversation too, mind. (Foreshadowing his leaving the relationship stranded?) But we have growth! Development! Communication!

–

So basically, our two “Kan vi snacka?” moments are two (of many) building blocks laying the open and honest communication foundation for Simon and Wilhelm in their relationship. The two scenes they parallel back to are where Wilhelm begins “I’m not…” and then finishes “…not like that, you know?”, and to have him then open up to Simon in the way that we have seen is such good character development; similarly, to have Simon now stating his reality, his significance, his wants and needs when faced with Wilhelm’s frustration and anxiety is such good character development.

(Someone please work out how to bottle the creative genius of this show, we could make millions.)
