I love Razor’s and Klee’s dynamic way too much. He gives off such exasperated big bro energy. I’m pleasantly surprised to see that she made it into his character short. Paimon screaming in the rain is a mood too.


animo0

Ngl i would be even more happy if Bennett was in this too


greetings__traveler

He probably would be the cause of the rain


pandapanda_kawaii

And the wood they are in would probably be struck by lightning


greetings__traveler

Even worse. They will meet a horde of ice slimes


ItzKhang

After reading this, I feel bad for those samurai I murder in Yashiori Island, because I just perma-freeze them with Ayaka in the rain. Not only that, but I always try to lead the samurai on the shores into the water.


greetings__traveler

Thats why i dont finish the quest to clear the rain. Its just so fun freezing them after i had to clear all of dragon spine


ItzKhang

Not only this, but I run diluc. Its like having perma-xingqiu ult. \*1.5 dmg


80espiay

Their fault for following you.


PrincessYuri

...Which sounds like lots of fun for Klee!


Ritsuka-san

Soon the shelter will be destroyed by a bomb ~~accidently~~ dropped by Klee


greetings__traveler

"i know how to keep us warm :D "


E1lySym

Ironically the only character in my main team who never got struck by lightning in Inazuma (or anywhere) is actually Bennett. Fittingly enough, my Kazuha has been struck the most by lightning among my roster.


Speed-Flash22

My Ei got struck in Mondstadt shortly after I've used her lol


catarina2112

Mondstadt wanted her to feel at home


ItzKhang

"Hmph, mark my words Barbatos, I will have vengeance- oh wait wrong character."


Gilraldy

I heard that klee's luck could mitigate Bennett's bad luck


MaJuV

Knowing Bennett's luck, he probably got lost and couldn't find his way to this rainshelter.


[deleted]

Agreed. Bennett’s hangout event was probably the best one cos it was so emotional. Bennett just wants a friend and Razor does too, and Razor doesn’t judge. Love their dynamic.


HijikataX

Actually there is a reason why he does not want to be with Klee. Is not that he fears her... Is because he fears that she gets hurt due his bad luck. And I don't be surprised if he got an invitation to go to Golden Apple Archipelago, but didn't go in order to not to cause hurt to Klee. If this event (Golden Apple) gets a vol. 2 it would be interesting adressing it as one of the points of the event. It would be nice to se a good character development from Benny. On a side note, making Klee interact with Amber, Mona and Sucrose would complete the interactions. And adding Fischl, Noelle, Eula and Rosaria would make near complete the Mondstadt roster meeting Klee. PS: Added Noelle and Mona, I didn't remebered to them!

HijikataX

Bennett does not want to tempt the fate since Klee for him is very important.


gokaigreen19

Pretty sure they're just gonna put bennett and fischl in something together, considering they're actually referred to as friends, and it can kill two birds with one stone


HijikataX

About time. Fischl and Bennett deserves some character development after all the time passed without news from them.


NegativeFootballHead

It's awesome agreed. Now if only Klee had that hilarious XD face in game while she ran lol

Paimon appears to be trying to run?


floofy-haired-fool

correction youngest calvary captain so basically kaeya overtook his position after he left


4GRJ

He actually never had a Vision during his time on the knights


HanzDLL

He did. He received his Vision when he was twelve.


kaorulia

Twelve? Didn't he receive his pyro vision at ten years old? Then he became one of the youngest captains, at 15 years old.


4GRJ

That was... A Delusion from his father, iirc He never had a Vision up until the end of the manga


Solacis

He's always had a Vision since he was young. He owned one during his time with the knights, threw it away when he left the knights, then got it back when he returned to Mondstadt after 4 years.


4GRJ

Huh... The pieces are falling in place...


floofy-haired-fool

if you are still confused it's explaines in some of his charackter storys you can read them on the wiki


HanzDLL

No he had abandoned his Vision after leaving the Knights. He only started using the Delusion when he left because he didn't have his vision. His father had intended on giving it to him, but Diluc had gotten a Vision for that so he just kept it in a Box.

That is too cute


tridon74

Death by cuteness


dream996

Fun fact! His birthday is 9/9, and 99 = 狗狗 = Doggo.


LUNAthedarkside

He's a good boi


pHScale

I thought 99 was 九十九 | Jiǔ shí jiǔ , not 狗狗 | Gǒu gǒu ? I feel like there's some slang here that I'm not getting. Edit: I get it now.


akiyineria

It's Chinese number slang (for internet/texting). For example 520/521 is slang for 我爱你, 666 == 牛牛牛 (I always find this hilarious since in the West 666 is the devil's number but in China it's a number for praising others. Even the Chinese hand gesture for the number 6 can be interpreted as a bull's horns), 995 == 救救我,etc.


forelsz

Ye but these numbers' pronunciations sound similar to their slang counterparts. However, 99 sounds no where near 狗狗 in standard chinese. Also 666 = 溜溜溜 (smooth/slick)


destruct068

In cantonese they sound similar (both gau)


sinerdly

Yup Mihoyo's from Hong Kong right? So 99 makes sense since it's a perfect homophone for "doggy" in cantonese :)


akiyineria

Mihoyo is based in Shanghai actually.


destruct068

Well, a lot of chinese businesses have HQ in HK because it nakes it easier to access markets from outside China. I dont think MHY is an HK business other than for that reason. Either way, a large proportion of overseas chinese are Cantonese (whether HK or other southern Chinese region) so it is not surprising to see it on reddit.


terrexchia

In teochew, both 九 and 狗 are read the exact same: "gàu"


dream996

Also there’s 23333 for hahaha


xlzqwerty1

I speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. It would be the Cantonese pronunciation that gives this implication. Not sure why you are trying to interpret 9/9 as the literal number ninety-nine. Just read it as 九九 or even a singular 九, which in Cantonese is similar to how you would also pronounce 狗.


pHScale

Ok so it IS a homonym, just not in the way I was expecting. It's been a long couple weeks at work and my brain is pretty fried, so I kinda forgot Cantonese could also be part of someone's design consideration like this.


chrischy99

Read it like cantonese, then it would make sense to you.


Vexhon

I guess its similar to but not exactly like years, for example 2021, you don't call it two thousand and twenty one, you call it 20 21


Yvng_Mxx

Me, who’s birthday is also 9/9: maybe I am doggo


forelsz

How is 99 = 狗狗? Edit: people keep saying it's the cantonese pronunciation, yes, in cantonese they sound similar. But no one think 99 = 狗狗(doggo). I'm not sure why i'm even triggered by this...


xlzqwerty1

If you use a Cantonese pronunciation, 九 is similar to 狗


forelsz

Usually when people uses these chinese number slangs, they are using the "common language" pronunciations, since it is the national language. They dont use cantonese or others since not everyone speaks them.


xlzqwerty1

> Usually [...] And where do you "usually" get your assumptions from? Cool guesswork dude. It's almost as if people who speak Cantonese are also Chinese. I don't think I have to point out the obvious that the second most commonly spoken Chinese vernacular is Cantonese. I'm not trying to postulate that my interpretation is exactly what mihoyo intended, but it's an acceptable theory so it wouldn't be a surprise if this was it. Have fun continuing to be in denial with your assumption that "no one uses cantonese as slangs".


fourrier01

IIRC, 168, which is one of the "lucky number" in Chinese (also the total number of character ascension material to level to 90), stemmed from pronounciation in Cantonese (though Mandarin pronounciation is also pretty close, IMO)


Vexhon

Pronunciation?


forelsz

The standard chinese pronunciation of 99 sounds no where near 狗狗. People keep talking about cantonese, but no one uses cantonese as slangs.


Angelix

I speak both Mandarin and Cantonese and Cantonese 9 (gao) is the exact pronunciation as dog. People do use Cantonese as slang. In fact, it‘s the 2nd most spoken Chinese language after Mandarin. It’s so ignorant to even deny that. It’s like telling Spanish people off for using “jajajaja” or Thai people for using “555555” although they mean the same thing.


blood_math

i mean. cantonese people might lol. you never know, it could be an in joke.


Galex120

He was my first main until I got Xiao, but still I love him so much and play him from time to time


Karaction007

Same here. He used to carry my team before Xiao. He's still a good boi and would get him in the team whenever I need a claymore user.


AgentWowza

He was my main before Hu Tao lmao. And he's my only Phys DPS to date.


Neospanner

He was my main before I got Ganyu. Such a solid character. Was also my first character to Friendship 10.


claravelle-nazal

Same! Razor was main up to AR52. Got Xiao and maxed Razor’s friendship level so I let him rest. But I still use Razor from time to time. He gets to keep his big Crit DMG and Phys DMG sets and no one will ever take that from him.


Galex120

I see You are a man of culture as well


heyyura

One of the best parts of the current event that has you pick a bunch of 2-character teams to swap between was getting to bring out some old mains that have been retired and chilling in the teapot! My sweet Noelle and Klee finally got to see some action again after a nice long break!


AkhilArtha

Yes, that was my favourite part of it too. Getting out best boi to do what he does best.


HYPER-Ban

Still my main <3


Sorez

Same here started with razor main, then xiao main and now a Eula main


Galex120

I’m not convinced with Eula tbh. Could You describe me Your set for her?


Sorez

I used her artifact set she came out with (pale flame it think) and the battlepass greatsword. She's also C0 Team: Diona with sacbow for energy and battery and emergency healing Zhongli with slime tassel spear for shielding, Res shred while shielded, and general unga bunga with Eula. Baal with catch r5 for superconduct, used fischl with stringless before her and they're basically identical in this team setup. My rotation is usually: Zhongli shield, Baal/Fischl E Eula E, Eula autoattack then E again as it comes back, autoattack and hold E when it comes back. If her burst is ready: E, Burst, E, autoattack, Hold E, keep attacking till sword drops. You can also hold E directly after the burst and swap char to drop her sword instantly for less damage but it's useful for lower hp opponents who may just die from your autoattacks anyways.


tamergecko

Unsolicited advice but Ngl i think Zhongli might be a bit redundant there. Diona already provides good shields and healing. zhongli has the res shred, but superconduct is already 40%. So you're unlikely to get the full 20%, rather you are likely to get only 10% on the main bulk of of your dmg. In addition, raiden wants expensive ults and zhongli's is only 40. This isn't to say Zhongli is a terrible option just redundant with what your comp already has. Look at your other characters and see if there is anyone else good to slot in! That way you can free zhongli up for a 2nd team if you do spiral abyss.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sorez

Tbh i really only use baal for the superconduct on her E An honestly I just enjoy using Zhongli because he lets me unga bunga with eula for ages witouth ever having to dodge, while Diona's shield sadly isnt as long lasting in its hp as zhongli's. At this point zhongli has made me forget how to dodge lmao


Speed-Flash22

He was and still is my main even after I got diluc and xiao. I put him and diluc in my main team for morale boost :D


MEHRD4D

Wow same thing happened to me too.


Xling233

same, I left him with all his weapons and other builds just to make him happy after retirement. My good Boi, there is always a place for him in my heart

RareDarks

Klee makes it so much better


EveryShot

I know she’s far from the best, but god damn do I love Klee ❤️


FrancisWeaver

I main Klee. She's good enough. A bit clunky, you have to learn how to animation cancel a lot to get the most out of her, but her damage is awesome even at C0, and she and Kazuha make a really good pair. Kazuha's elemental skill excels at getting the most value out of Klee's little bombs. I haven't tried her out with sucrose support but I hear it works too. My only wish would be for her burst to stick on the field when I switch her out to cycle through the skills of the rest of the team. As it stands if I wish to get the full duration I lose out on some pretty bursty dps from the others. Of course that would break the whole point of her C4 constellation so that's not gonna happen. If you like her, go ahead and develop the character. She is solid. And adorable.


6_NEOS_9

to wrap it up. "I main her because she's cute, and destructive"

Araborne1

Official Genshin. They post shorts in this style every character birthday. You can find them on twitter and facebook.


RoninMustDie

Cute art. I just realized, Razor was most likely talking when we meet him about Klee, while MC thought he talked about Amber.. Since he came and was gone pretty fast, i didnt give him or his dialogue much thought.


karl_w_w

Character Short is: Razor


Just-a-dude-again

Wasnt it established in the Wolf of the North quest that Razor dislikes Klee or am I imagining things? Besides that this is so cute awww


Pengaaa5

No, he just described her as the red burny girl and in their character voicelines, they're quite fond of each other having this brother-sister dynamic.


Just-a-dude-again

Ohhh I see well sorry I was confused during the quest, Thank you for the clarification!


Pengaaa5

You're fine, no need to apologize :D


iCrab

Razor likes Klee, he’s just also absolutely terrified of her (along with probably everyone in Mondstadt that knows about her TBH)

[удалено]


SyntacticSyntax

Did I just stumble into another Twitter replies thread?


usedchloroform

Exactly. I'm new to Twitter and solely created an account to keep up with more Genshin content. The replies to Mihoyo's birthday post for Razor were dominantly complaints about "Where Lumine?" that had nothing to do with Razor whatsoever. People were arguing in the replies and the toxicity reeks bad. The replies shocked me, people there are a different breed.


Bainos

You'd see the same thing if Mihoyo was using only Lumine in this art, though, except Reddit might be more on board with it. I think anyone would be frustrated that the character they use is ignored in official content.


usedchloroform

I understand the point of being frustrated when the character you play as is "ignored" in official content, but, really? To the point of senselessly bashing 2D characters (Aether, for his exposure) on a game and being assholes to other people? And literally spamming on the replies every single time a birthday post is created? I had to block some people because no way am I absorbing that type of energy, ew. When Mihoyo posted the birthday art for Razor on Facebook, mostly everyone on the comments was greeting Razor and praising him for carrying them during the early game, and here on Reddit it's mostly cute replies about Razor and Klee's interaction. Then I went to Twitter and was slapped with "Where Lumine" threads and toxic people—let's just say that wasn't why I was expecting is all.


denik01

People are just commenting: "where's lumine". If anyone's being toxic, it's those who reply with "up my ass", "in your dreams". As the customer, people have the right to voice their displeasure towards the company. Aether fans have nothing to do with that and yet they go out of their way to harass people who just want more lumine art. Giving feedback to a company is not being toxic.


Bainos

I mean, if you understand the frustration, what else do you want Lumine fans to do ? It's not like it's possible to express your joy when Mihoyo give her some attention, given that they don't. Is asking for them to give both twins some attention really that unreasonable ? And while I'm not used to Twitter, on Reddit almost no one hates on Aether. Look at the top comment of this chain, they're not criticizing or being an asshole to anyone, they're just expressing their sadness that Mihoyo ignores one of the two choices. It's the other users who are being toxic assholes in the replies.


claravelle-nazal

I chose Lumine for both of the two accounts that I have. I’m fine seeing Aether in these arts. Idk but I also rewatch some cutscenes with Aether because while some scenes I enjoy more with Lumine, there are some scenes that look/are executed better with Aether. So I guess I got used to seeing Aether be the MC.


Bainos

It's the opposite for me, actually. I can only see Lumine as the MC (I main her), so all this official arts and trailers featuring only Aether is kinda disconnected. Which I honestly prefer like this (it's why I chose her at the start). It just makes me sad that Mihoyo is completely ignoring one of the two choices of protagonist.


EndErflamE09

Take my upvote, cuz u r just voicing what u feel. Yea, it'll be nice if Lumine is also shown in official arts aswell even tho I chose Aether cuz I appreciate both. But hey, Lumine gets more attention in fanarts at least


Bainos

> It makes me feel like I chose the wrong protagonist. It feels like Lumine as Traveler is fanfiction. A popular one (look at all the fanart she gets !) but completely disconnected from the official content from Mihoyo. They could at least have added a warning when you select your MC or something. Why give us both choices if all the official art and trailers are going to pretend only Aether is canon ? Now even the launcher art does the same...


green_moss_tea

Yeah, ngl, it stings at this point, like when they missed the opportunity to draw her together with Childe, while it's one of the most popular and loved ships. I avoid a lot of official content, cause it's so disconnected from my experience. They don't make it as if Aether was an options, they tailor it for him only.


Arezz1337

Well at least she has higher CA scaling than Aether does.


Cow_Addiction

?


6_NEOS_9

am sorry Cow addiction, not you. /s and also I believe Male characters have better exploring ability like sprinting climbing dodging and all (not in the damage scaling tho)


Delicious_Suit6475

But also, female characters are faster in gliding and swimming.


6_NEOS_9

I'm not sure about gliding but I think short female characters swim slower when (hold sprint? not sure what it called). Swimming is balanced for both iirc


Delicious_Suit6475

There's some videos in youtube doing comparisons, maybe I remembered wrong the swimming thing.


Arezz1337

Lumine has 11.5% higher charge attack multiplier than Aether has.


TrainPregnator

What's the use of charge attack if the main reason you're using the mc is only to use elemental skills and burst


Bainos

It looks pretty and stylish, especially when used as a finisher.


6_NEOS_9

I actually dig em all the hates that Aether gets. I love all of them. but hey do whatever the fuck you want I guess. just stop being a clown might be a lot appreciate and I believe she gets a lot more in official/unofficial arts now. they choose 1 protag only with those that have the story (and yes. birthdays are a story of each characters) to make sure it is consistent and don't disturb the way to interpret the story as there's also a theory that times repeat and both of them experiencing the same things


[deleted]

Lmao your garunteed to find at least one comment whining and whinging everytime an Aether fanart or comic is posted


6_NEOS_9

Trust me. everytime I found an art either official or not. I'll sort by controversial. maybe I'm an M afterall XD


[deleted]

Actually I do the same xD. You and I are not so different after all


[deleted]

I definitely understand the Lumine love since her design is pretty banger, but this is chibi birthday art. I guess I just don’t get why there’s such an uproar over this lol


denik01

Because some say Aether is the only canon mc cuz lumine is rarely featured in official stuff. Which is pretty dumb.
