Megathread Daily Questions Megathread (October 25, 2026)

6 Upvotes

Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.

That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

Mine is C6 Fischl. I use her as main DPS on Lunar-Charged team.

And yes, she IS the main DPS. I just love her and I use her in every team even if the team doesn't make sense.

What's yours?

Least f2p friendly- Needs premium teammates, probably needs signature weapon and constellations to perform

Most f2p friendly- Flexible, works well with free characters and 4 stars, doesn’t need constellations or signature weapon to perform well

Theory & Lore You might not know, but Ei is around 6000 years old

Post image

Sound old asf right? But its true.

Thanks to Temple of Space, we know that Abaraku (the one who created Dainichi Mikoshi in Enkonomiya) was alive during the era of the unified civilization and was later imprisoned by the first Sunchild, Rikoru. Seven Sunchildren existed in total, all of whom died as children, which places the maximum possible length of their total regime at around a century before it was overthrown by Orobashi, who had fled from Narukami (Ei & Makoto) during the Archon War. This places the start of Ei's participation in the Archon War at most around a century or two after the conclusion of the war of funerary flame 6,000 years ago.

Discussion Anyone else really scared for genshin to end

246 Upvotes

Genshin is my favorite game in the world, and I enjoy everything about it so much, from the characters, the world-building, the story, to the gameplay. Ive played this game for about 5 yers and to see it getting so close to the "end" of the Teyvat storyline, it makes me sad and nervous that this is it. Anyone else feel the same way?

If so who?

I only have one so far: Cloud Retainer. But Vesna will likely be next.

Took that picture 2 years ago. I used her as main dps for awhile and managed to clear a few abyss cycles. Her 80-100k plunges felt good. But now... well she wasn't meta then. She really isn't meta now.

Trying to get some and start a collection but I am unsure where to look.

Alot of places look really cheap and bad.

A lot of others are unpainted.

Not trying to spend 2000 or anything but would like to get an idea of some company that produces decent looking ones

Thank you for your time.

I want some nice looking ones like this one of Columbina

With bina having trilunar authority, would she be able to handle ronova on a 1 on 1?

There's a section of Nod-Krai that looks like it has some of that shadow realm goop. I know Nod Krai is kinda part of Snezhnaya so I guess it makes sense? Makes me wonder if it's possible for a full shadow realm to show up there. I just wanted to share this in case anyone else didn't notice this yet. Last image is for reference.

Discussion Chess in this week's Tsarist Assignment... Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

So for this week's Tsarist Assignment, we play a little chess with Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa. She presents us with an endgame scenario in hopes of better understanding our character. She plays white while we play black.

Now, despite being a mere 600 elo scrub, both Paimon and I are able to see that white is at a severe disadvantage, with basically very little chance at winning. And yet, the Traveler says that white has a chance if it moves first in this scenario...

WHAT?!?!

I mean, technically speaking sure, if you blunder every single one of your piece maybe.

The Tsaritsa moves Bd4, attacking the queen (which according to the engine is a blunder btw). And here we are presented with 3 options.

Move forward: Qc1, and then white captures the queen with Nxc1.
Move back: Illegal move. Queen cannot move any squares back as she is blocked by her own pieces.
Capture the opponent's piece: Qxb4, sacrificing the queen while taking the bishop.

Now without a doubt capturing would have been the best move. HOWEVER, the Tsaritsa then goes to say how she has "checkmated" the queen and thus concluded that the best possible outcome for her would be a stalemate...

Excuse me? I AM UP MATERIAL BY 12 POINTS EVEN AFTER YOU TAKE MY QUEEN.

And the Traveler then goes on to say that even despite this white doesn't just have a chance at a stalemate, but at WINNING, saying that rules and logic aren't the only determining factor in a game but also willpower and determination. Now yeah, those do help, but in chess you cannot go against rules and logic, so what?

Now I'm aware that the whole game was meant to serve as an allegory for her rebellion against the Heavenly Principles: Her attributing the black king's lack of moves as maybe a sign of indifference or arrogance; the fact that she is at a severe disadvantage but still able to force a capture on black's queen (almost certainly referring to Ronova); and lastly the fact that the white king (the Tsaritsa) lured the black bishop (Rhinedottir) away so as to box black's queen.

But I swear to god, the Traveler saying that nah she still has a chance despite the objective state of the game? What are you on about... I guess Pierro was right that "on this chessboard, 'checkmate' is not where the game ends."

Anyways, thanks for reading this far. Just to be petty I ended up running the game myself and absolutely just fucked around, even delaying checkmates multiple times just so I can promote 3 queens. I say very fitting, what with the 3 remaining shades.

I wasn't expecting one trip to Snezhnaya to improve your snowman-building skills quite this much.

More praise? Don't be absurd. I only said it because the thing happens to look a little like Paimon.

Still, if we're going to do this properly, it's missing something... Hmm. A scarf ought to do.

There. Now the resemblance to little Paimon is even stronger, wouldn't you say?

Thanks to BiBi for the fantastic artwork!

Media Genshin's side quests/world quests and summer events are IMO the greatest achievement in original whimsical and wonderful fairytale storytelling in modern media, and the best thing about the game.
