Vibes only challenge: a dendro bow user

Why throw just your sona into genshin when you can also make a new oc! XD this lil bean was inspired by the other small babs of genshin, like Diona, Qiqi, and Klee! Like Diona they are older than they look, and also accepts female pronouns from time to time.

They mostly yeet people into the sun with geo constructs which is just a rise of earth with force for them and often imitate Zhongli's phrases when performing moves even if completely unable to do anything remotely similar!

"I WILL HAVE ORDER" is not a giant meteor obliterating enemies, they just yeet a pebble at someone instead xD

Headcanon; Strong S/O of Revali

You’re good at battle, I enjoy that

Revali would have great pride in a strong S/O

Would watch them practice, train and battle

[Of course he’d want to join in fights as well though]

I wonder if they can use other weapons

He’d see S/O one day hurt themself attempting to use a bow

He’d be helpful, teach them how to use it

Helpful Revali!

See the bruise and frown.

“You hurt yourself.”

I can help you learn

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…
