I’m writing this because I can’t concentrate on work ;;_;;
It’s currently patch 3.7 phase 2 in Genshin Impact, and honestly it’s such a dry patch ;;_;; aside from phase 2 banner featuring one of my must pull characters, Kazuha, whom I haven’t pulled yet because I pulled 2 Yoimiyas back-to-back in the previous phase while wishing to get spooked (weird 💪 but… now I have to farm primos for probably the whole duration of this phase and even then I could NOW get spooked… oh well LOL).
When I started playing, I loathed bow users due to how difficult the mechanics was, and it was so disappointing. My ideal playing style is ranged non-healer support, so archers are right up my alley. But, in the beginning, when your characters are still relatively weak even slimes could kill you, playing archer is so flipping cursed. It’s so hard keeping your distance from the mons, and when you don’t have the distance advantage, what good is your range potential then?
But…it’s been like… what, 9 months since I started? I have several characters built pretty well, and I can roam the open world without being afraid of getting KO-ed. So I’m starting to think that maybeeeeeeeeeee I can now try my hand at playing archers.
The character that changed my mind about archers was Collei. Sumeru has so many dendro-dependent puzzles, and my dendro characters when I was exploring Sumeru were Alhaitham and Collei (I was not ready to let go of anemo Aether back then). And as much as Alhaitham was praised for his intelligence, he fell short when it comes to solving Sumerian puzzles 😂Flipping 18s CD was so cursed. Then, I tried running Collei in the Sumeru talent domain and tried shooting the flying robot down, and I succeeded! That experience cured my apathy towards archery in the game 🥰
I’ve been wanting to build Yoimiya and Sara now. Yoimiya’s playstyle is not much archery though, because it’s mostly E and then autos. It feels more like using catalyst, with an option of aiming for when I want to mess with some random mons from afar or boars 🤣 Her burst gives off-field presence and nice tiny buff though, so maybe she'll be fun in co-op too.
Sara thooooo… I actually don’t like her character as a Raiden simp, and I genuinely hate the role she has in the Archon Quest and Kokomi’s story. Sorry if I offend you, but I think canon Sara is a failed attempt at characterizing a strong female leader. She’s as bad as Raiden imo, and if you want to know how bad I think Raiden’s character is, it's enough for me to not want to pull her anymore even though she’s the character that made me want to start playing Genshin to begin with 😂 (because Sawashiro Miyuki voices her ;;_;;)
After building Sara, maybe I’d like to try building Diona. Healing’s not much of my forte though (I suck at paying attention to people’s health), and it looks like her healing is an area thing so in co-op situation I’ll have to chase my teammates around to provide heals. I don’t know, I haven’t used Diona at all… Strangely, I have no desire to build and use Faruzan at the moment…
Right now, I’m just aspiring to be a Sara main in co-op 😁 It’ll be funny if she’s more well-built than my META lineup just because I want to be useful in co-op though 🤣🤣🤣
anyway archer diluc where he's actually not a good shot as a kid because his eyes are a lil blurry so crepus just makes the target a bit bigger
archer diluc where he gets bruises on his arms because the string would hit it when he releases (totally not projecting here sorry)
archer diluc where he feels better about his skills after he takes out a hilichurl with a headshot because his sword wasn't available to him at that time
archer diluc who, as his teen years kick in, treats archery as a hobby than a weapon he'd actually use because he liked close combat more. he would have very accurate aim and the bow wasn't heavy in his hands anymore (claymores are waaay heavier)
archer diluc who hasn't picked up a bow in a really long while as he rose in the ranks of favonius. he only picks it up a few times in snezhnaya as warning for the fatui
archer diluc treating his bow like an old friend, using it as a form of focus, release, and clarity. after all, he wouldn't dare lose his target.
bonus under the cut
archer diluc teaching you how to shoot for the first time and while you're not flimsy with it, he puts you against his chest and holds the bow with you. you can feel his breathing against you
archer diluc who kisses your forehead (or pats your head for platonic diluc likers) whenever you hit on or near the bullseye
archer diluc who's happy and eager to teach you one of his first combat trainings. and if you're better than him, he just admires you more

first of all no -isms, -phobias, pro-ED, pro cringe culture, or any bigotry. dont be a dick on purpose in here thank you :) in this house we stay out of peoples business if theyre not affecting anyone or if theyre not culturally appropriating. i dont care if you think it looks dumb
anyways i like witchcraft, deity work and worship, tarot, and a lot of non witchy/polytheisty adjacent things but if you give me the opportunity to make a list i genuinely will not shut up :D ill put most of my interests in the tags
im a cottagecore girlie in the "i grew up next to a pond and regularly went fishing and orange picking in my backyard" typa way but also in the "floral dress and mushroom decor" typa way.
im part of a (suspected PDID) system but never do sign offs or anything just don't get thrown off if we say we instead of i. most of the time its the same person posting anyways. also im ace lesbian, disabled, and black.
I put active effort into being kind (not nice) to myself and others and considering that sometimes people are still learning. I wont put someone down for accidentally saying the wrong term or not knowing something. but if you chose to stay ignorant you'll probably get blocked. you still have a chance to learn! not here though <3
okay bye bye kisses xxxxxxx
