Man I hope not. I don't like this trend of no new 4*s on new banners. There should be mandatory 1 new 4* every limited 5* banner. She started out in the betas as a 4*, but then again so did Mona.
You got a link to the leaks? I haven't seen them yet. Also, yea, they better not make every single new character a limited 5* banner, that'd be bullshit.
Welp, I'm already back to logging in for dailies and burning resin. It's kinda a shame the way they structured this update, to incentivize everyone to grind through it as fast as possible to get rank 8 trees and do the event. They should have given us a week to casually explore at our own pace. If you do that now though, you're missing out on the Crimson Wishes which means you get your catalyst recipe later.
What level do you guys have your tree? I'm at level 9 with 4 agates towards level 10. I only got 5 crimson wishes this week instead of the available 10, so I guess that means I "found" 89 of them in chests and in the world. Wonder how many there are. I'm sure I'm still missing a few, but it seems that they expect to make you grind out the last 2 or 3 levels over a few weeks to bridge content gaps. Maybe there's 90 total to be found and then the last 30 you need to grind out at 10 per week or something like that.
Anyway, I got fed up trying to use Diluc on the mountain, so I switched up my main party a bit just for this area to be Childe/Xinyan/Xiangling/Jean. It's really really strong as long as there's no grass to catch on fire, where it becomes kind annoying. Xinyan is a better support than she looks on paper. She scales up physical damage, which Childe does 0 of ideally, but her fire shield is still a huge boon for Vaporize procs and is fairly easy to get to level 3 except on 1v1 battles. I put the sacrificial claymore on her, so I can get her burst up pretty quickly too which automatically gives level 3 shield, and is fun to use. She's not perfect as a support, but I'm seeing her uses. Of course this means I'm back to the leveling grind for her. Got her to level 49 so far which has been fine for her limited role of making a shield and peacing out for Childe's damage mode. The extra attack % from pyro resonance is awfully nice too, else I wouldn't have both her and Xiangling in the same party. Gouba is such a retarded animal. If he was mobile and homing he'd be great, but the fact that he picks campfires over enemies half the time is really damn annoying when he auto targets. It's also annoying to try to light braziers with him, if they're just a little bit off the ground.
