Then if you like the character pull, wait for the trial and try the character in it, to be sure that you will like her.
If you are waiting for someone special or saving up and you need a good free alternative at this time - Sanhua. The same buff on Basic Attack DMG. 4 Stars character, I think almost everyone have her.
Yeah, i have her in my team right now, but i dont like the playstyle at all.

Lmao, the devs are adding "wet effects" to characters. Genshin just does this superficially with little water bubbles animating around the characters, but WuWa is like "hold my beer" and adding clothing transparency/water drippage on the models themselves.

Now that outfits are being added to the game, it would be cool to have this version of Camellya available as a skin to purchase when her banner eventually gets a rerun. Would be an immediate buy for me.

Edit: Looks like the PS5 version of WuWa got some good review scores from Famitsu. 👀

Stop trying to fix her, YOU CAN'T. That's the whole point of the character, people wanted a Yandere girl - you'll get her. :messenger_grinning:
There was a video with a translation of the reaction of Japanese players, they are generally happy with 2.0, now everything is in Kuro's hands, now we need to keep the bar at the same level and drop it lower.

I'm greedy so I want both versions of her. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

I have a very old i7 6700K PC and a 1080p monitor (has VRR and 144Hz but that's not saying much), so I mostly play games including WuWa on PS5 Pro since I have it connected to a big OLED TV. It's good to know that there's a mod for that version of her though.

Well done Kuro, well done.

See, you’re cheering now.

But when they inevitably introduce the antagonist who will tie into the second movie being referenced in that event name, and he sets his attention on Rover, well, I hope you all weren’t planning on sleeping soundly tonight.

Finally finished building up Carlotta. I have her at 62% crit rate and 300% crit damage now. I’m going to reach union level 60 tomorrow and will be doing the ascension quest right away since I already have the mats to level up the team I'm running with right now, including their skills.

Oh, I wanted to mention that the resonator showcase screen is dope af. I love that each unit has their own animated mini-cutscene. Yeah, I know it's their gacha animation that's been reused, but it's great that they've added them there since all of them are so well done, and it would have been a waste seeing them only when pulling on a banner (even the 4 stars and Rover have one which is cool).

Excellent results, extremely good build. Although I'll grumble a little as usual like an old man, to be honest 62% crit is right on the very bottom line, I would sacrifice a little Crit Damage in favor of Crit Chance. Even if Crit damage drops to 250% it's not so scary in fact. This is due to the fact that for such characters when the character makes one big bang or several shots with an interval and hitting each such crit is important, every time such a hit will not be crit you will immediately feel it. That's why I usually try to keep the crit chance at 70-80% (usually 70-75%), on the same Jinhsi I have 82% (Which to be honest is a bit too much, but that's how it turned out) but roughly speaking the last thing you want on such characters is to press Resonance Liberation and see that not a single hit was crit, the probability of this is of course small but it happens :messenger_grinning:

P.S - Although if the Echo turned out really great, it’s better not to touch them and don’t breathe, it’s a bad sign. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Thanks dude! I probably can increase the crit rate a bit further by getting a better Sentry Construct for my main echo slot. It was already a pain to farm for the one I have rn though, so it will probably have to wait until I'll be done with leveling up my main team from 80 to 90 once I do that ascension quest. But yeah, I know what you're saying. :p
That's a pretty damn solid build.

Best one I have is Xiangli Yao with 251% CD, 53% CR.

The moment I can achieve a 200%+ CD with a 50%+ CR, I stop farming :messenger_tears_of_joy:
Better that way. Took me so much waweplates, XP mats and tuners to get all her echos with double crit on them. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Official PR post about the review score they've received from Famitsu:

The PlayStation ® 5th edition of " #鳴潮 " received a score of 34 in the Famitsu Cross Review and was awarded a Gold Hall of Fame award!
Thank you so much to everyone who supported us!

For more details, please see the February 6, 2025 issue of Weekly Famitsu (on sale January 23).

 
Wish I got this kind of luck on a character I found more interesting, but beggars can't be choosers. Excited to use her.

Kinda cute, her goblin suitcase thing actually equips the gauntlets, not her.

That is a nice touch.

I’ll be trying for Jinhsi when I get home
Dragon lady is just too cool, also liked the parts of the story she’s been in.

Just a heads up, the event started for Sanhua's skin, and you need to do it for at least 7 days. So don't wait until the very end of the patch to try to rush it in the last few days, like I normally do.

They better nerf Brant's ER requirements or give him some ER.

Even with two ER echoes I'm still 8% away from 280% ideal ER (228% + additional 44% from future weapon).

I managed to clear the Crownless and Inferno Rider tactical holograms on difficulty 5 after about a dozen or so attempts combined. These boss encounters are starting to get really sweaty on higher difficulties, but they're very fun boss fights nonetheless.

Took 70 pulls but I got Jinhsi

What’s decent weapon for her?

Also, if I decide to go a little crazy, what’s better her ascension 1 or her sig ?

Honestly, it's up to you, there won't be such a sharp increase in DPS and it mostly depends on your hands and rotations. Ages of Harvest (Sig) gives about 18% increase in DPS compared to Lustrous Razor from a regular banner. About the same increase goes between S0 and S1 (16% - provided that you know her rotations). The advantage of her sword is that you can give it to other characters, her sword works great on both Calcharo and Jiyan.

Excellent result, you can already be called a veteran of the game. Rarely does anyone dare to finish off Holograms to the end. And yes, as I wrote to you, 5 - 6 is no joke and you will have to sweat. :messenger_grinning:

I think it's unlikely to happen, since he plays the role of the 3rd position and in fact his role is to give a buff to damage and from time to time to maintain the HP of the group in the norm, he will be played as a pure support, so it seems to me that they are deliberately driving him into passive stats so that people do not even get damage on him. Although of course we will see closer to the release, in fact the situation may turn out much more interesting...

Kinda sucks that I missed out on Yinlin because all my pulls went to Camellya and then to her weapon which I failed to get.

Anyway, I finished her companion story very recently, and next time she's rerun I'll be sure to have the astrites ready to pull for her.

I felt her companion quest was one of the weaker ones. I hope she gets a part 2 down the road to bring it up to standard. There seems to be plenty of lore for her to improve upon, and Kuro has done really well at making older character show up in new content, so I have a bit of hope for it.

Yeah, it was just okay I guess. I was halfway through her companion story when I put it on hold as version 2.0 dropped, and I finally picked it back up today and finished it. It reminded me how fun she is to play as. Plus her character design is, well, very appealing, lol. And yeah, I agree, it would be cool to see her again in new content down the road.

Btw, I heard that her initial banner release did so well in Japan that Kuro's top up website started putting people in queues due to everyone rushing to swipe for her.
 
Jianxin or Verina S2
This is my current dilemma. I realized I still have the beginners choice banner up. Just debating what to do with my blue wishes. Will likely just invest further into Verina, but who knows. I like Jianxins design , but from what I gather she’s just not that good. And Verina “pops off” at S2 , so yeah

Also think I will hold off on Jinhsi’s weapon.
I ended up getting the season pass/podcast thing and picked the broadblade, it has crit rate substat, so that’s fine imo.
Got her and the weapon to 70. Now just need to get talents up and a little work on a couple echos and she’ll be functional.

Of course I don’t have a team for her… lol
But I read you can use Yuanwu with basically no investment so maybe that will be the path.

Blue wishes are better spent on the permanent weapon banner than the characters. You will eventually lose 50/50s and get the standard characters, but the weapon banner is 100% so you'll never end up with those unless you specifically go for it. I've personally got 4 out of the 5 classes, just working towards the gun next. After that I"ll probably gacha more copies of the rectifier.

That said, if you're nearing the pity on the choice banner, might as well finish it up. I'm sure everyone here will tell you to go for Verina, but I think Jianxin is a compelling character looking for a role.

Also, damn, some of these WuWa mods for Carlotta are pretty cool.
There's a guy that makes a series of mods called "Stylish *character name*". I really like them. Not necessarily better than the default designs, but they all fit a theme and look good considering you have to do your own rigs, weights, and mappings, it's not just a simple layer recolor or something like that. My... er... friend pretty much doesn't use mods anymore. He likes the DX12 visual improvements, and 2.0 has been kinda buggy/full of stutters until they optimize the game a bit more while using DX11/mods.

Only thing missing is the ability to shut that damn transparency filter off. It's so annoying.

Soooo, between an emotionally unstable girl and a secret agent, you chose the emotionally unstable girl...interesting... i'll write it down, it will come in handy. That's how the dossier is gradually being filled with useful information. :messenger_tears_of_joy:
Jianxin or Verina S2
Verina S2 - it's not even a question, additional energy regeneration is always a huge plus
Jianxin - She can be considered if you will be maining Calcharo and learning to play on him, they help each other very well at the early stage. In all other cases, it is easier to wait until she falls with a 50/50 loss.

Let's raise the heat of the discussion and at the same time see how well moderation works on imgur, although to be honest, in the picture everything is closed and nothing is shown, but it is right on the edge, so it is doubly interesting whether they will delete it or not :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Ya up to this point I’ve been spending em in the weapon banner, but that beginner choice is guaranteed, will probably just grab Verinas S2, then go back to collecting weapons.

I gotta say that those are some very nicely designed mods.

And speaking of mods there's also this rover one that went viral yesterday on Twitter, lol:

Btw, this John Wicktorio event is super fun, but on my PS5 Pro it chugs quite a bit when there are too many effects happening on screen all at once. I actually burst out laughing during this gameplay I've recorded because I couldn't believe the fps could drop so low even with the optimization problems it currently has on PS5. At certain points this fight felt like a powerpoint slideshow (it feels worse while playing than this video shows). Does this happen on PC as well?
