Oh, this kinda fuckin blows

Heads up everyone: Pure Fiction's text is mistranslated and is lying to you. You know how it says 'when enemies are hit, action advances them by 35%'?. Yeah, turns out that only happens if they have DoT on them. Otherwise they do NOT speed up. This means that if you do not have DoTters worth a damn, you can and should pick the 3x nihilities buff, ignore that it does nothing, and brute force the fight with enemies that don't zoom around like they're on ferraris.

I don't think there's a single more regrettable skip someone could have done than wanting to pull for either of these 2 next characters and having not pulled Ruan Mei. I imagine they'll have to rerun her soon because both Boothill and Sam are BEGGING for her.

I'm weak. Pulled the mother fudger even though I didn't prep at all....gonna strip Welt and Xueyi down and see what I can do.

His trial just seemed too fun lol. At least I didn't waste a guarantee.

Hard to tell how many hits his Enhanced Basic actually does? Feels like Swordplay may be the best bet. Gotta be at least 3 even without the capper hit when his buff is maxed.

I've maxed out the event, would love if they added more at some point because it feels like a waste to have a maxed out buff tree now!

Got a perfect DoT Run going on the final stage and it was a cakewalk because of it. Got 5 fusion weapons maxed plus the accessory that increases damage taken and received, and the weapons were just tearing ass.

Hopefully a good sign that immediately after finishing the event they bluntly have the MC complain that it wasn't enough and they want more.

Barely managed it, but got 12 stars on Pure Fiction with not a DoT character in sight. ~35k on the first half with Aventurine/Ruan Mei/Himeko/Topaz, and ~25k on the second half with triple Nihility Acheron. Was barely able to get the last few points by swapping Trend of the Universal Market from Aventurine to Fu Xuan in order to get an extra ult or 2 with Acheron. ...in retrospect I just realized Fire MC probably would have worked better but oh well this was good enough and I forgot Fire MC existed for a minute.

I've had about a week to sit and think about the story since I've beaten the 2.2 content.

I've decided that the Penacony arc has definitely become my favorite arc in any RPG I've ever played. I think this recent segment had some weird fluff at the beginning that was a bit hard to sit through, but 2.0 was a 10/10, 2.1 was a 10/10, and 2.2 was at least an 8, probably a 9/10, and it stuck the landing so hard, it might as well have been a 10.

That final fight surpassed Cocolia as my favorite in the game, and Cocolia was already my favorite turn-based battle of all-time. I brought a horrible team to fight them and it took like a half hour, but I didn't care, because I was just smiling and bopping to the music the whole time. I left it on normal speed, which usually kills me in this game, but I just loved watching Caelus do his little Clockie jig every 3 turns, and all the voice lines whenever I used the support mechanic.

And the cutscenes both before and after made me tear up pretty good. It's hard to imagine this landing any harder for me, and I'm incredibly impressed with how this all turned out.

After the Luofu, I was kinda worried about the direction this game was going, but I certainly don't have any questions on that anymore!

And we still have a lot to go through in 2.3, too. Off the top of my head...

-We haven't sealed the Stellaron yet. How do we reach the True Golden Hour? And is it actually the corpse of Tayzzyronth, as SU lore concerning its fall and Hydra's account suggest?
-Sparkle's buttons haven't been pressed yet. What kinds of spectacular fireworks will go off when they do (her name in japanese and IIRC chinese translates to 'Firework')? Will they actually be used to destroy the dream for good as speculated?
-Death of a Crow strongly implies Sunday getting an invitation from Elio. Is he actually going to join the Stellaron Hunters? If so, how and why?
-What about Firefly? She's predicted to have a final death still to come, and deaths in the dream now stick for real. Is she going to lose her body and become a memetic entity? Will she lose her memory (a 'death of the mind')? Or is she actually going bye-bye fully and permanently?
-And of course, we have the cliffhangers with Aventurine's arc of being a monumental fuckup who keeps winning in spite of himself, and Boothill's quest for revenge against the IPC. How are they getting resolved?

There's an absolute hell of a lot to cover still. I'm crossing my fingers that the theory that we're still missing one more 'true final boss' pays off here because if so 2.3 will be a truly wild finale.

Yes there is a gallery shooter one in one of the new 2.2 locations. It's also in a hidden area though so you won't find it just by going through the story. I think there were also like sequel modes of the first two or something, but I can't remember details like when they unlocked so just be on the lookout I guess. (You might have already done them idk)

Don't feel right throwing this in the Genshin topic, so will just stay here that I'm seeing this huge negative backlash to the new Genshin girl's design and I'm flabbergasted. 1000s of people calling her ugly when I think she's one of the better designs I've seen in Genshin, if maybe a little busy.
