tanithryudoSo new patch, new story chapter, new pulls. What can I say, my luck at gatcha pulls are just... eh. The previous 5 star banner characters I wanted to pull almost all failed their first 50/50, and I end up having nearly reaching hard pity twice before getting the character.
This banner, I didn't really care much about the 5 star banner character, but I did want to get copies of the 4 stars on the banner (all 3 of them). So I pulled...and got the banner 5 star on the first pull. And then another one on the second pull. -_- When was this luck when I was pulling for dragonboy!?!
Of course, since my luck was really good last night, I got curious and just used up the rest of my saved pulls on both the limited banner and the standard banner. And voila, I also got 2 more standard 5 stars. This is definitely worth a yay!
It also means a headache on choosing which one(s) to level up.
The current 5 star banner is really strong. Numbers-wise, gameplay-wise, she's the obvious pick. But... I was kinda meh on her backstory. And of course I don't have the waifu factor going for me. So I level her just a bit but held off on pouring too much in until I did the new character story mission for her. And... yeah. Did not make me like her any more.
> Jingliu: "I can't remember..." The words of every person who hopes to escape their past.
Dan Heng got his memories wiped through forced rebirth as part of a legally given punishment. It was forced on him. Then he was exiled. That was also forced on him. How does any of this equate to "escape the past"?
> Jingliu: I understand. The sins of a past life should be forgiven after rebirth. Now you are a Nameless, traveling across the galaxy... but can anyone really bid farewell to their past?
Plenty of people can bid farewell to the past just fine. (I'm pretty sure Jing Yuan was pretty happy to have bid farewell to the past and moving forward in his role as leader of the Luofu... y'know, before you and your friend participated in dragging everyone back and caused a bunch of drama and mayhem.)
> Jingliu: Even after your rebirth, your moves and techniques haven't changed one bit.
> Dan Heng: When I move... it's like...
> Jingliu: ...like you never forgot.
> Jingliu: You can continue to convince yourself that you are merely the reincarnation of Dan Feng and have nothing to do with his sins... and you can keep insisting that you have forgotten everything.
> Jingliu: But you cannot run from combat, Dan Heng. Your spearmanship is identical to Imbibitor Lunae's.
Muscle memory is not the same as memory memory, dudes.
> Jingliu: Now, it is time we pay for what we have done.
> Jingliu: Dan Heng, you can never escape the shadow of Imbibitor Lunae. He is your origin, and his sins will accompany you in your path forward until you meet your eventual doom.
WTF woman. Dan Feng already paid for his crimes. He was tried and convicted, punished and then further punished even more after the normal limits of punishment (after rebirth). Since leaving prison and joining the Astral Express, he's only done good deeds and helped save people (including an entire planet on the brink of extinction), and generally been a constructive member of society and building good karma. So WTH does he still need to pay for?
You and Blade on the other hand... you guys ran away from the Luofu when shit went down. Blade spend the next couple of centuries being a criminal and racking up a bounty record, instead of, I dunno, locking himself up so that he doesn't keep killing people in fits of insanity.
You, I dunno what you were doing, but from your current associations, it doesn't look all that good. But, I guess, the lives of other people other than the specific person/group of people who died in that one incident 700 years ago don't count?
Why do you think you all are on equal grounds here? Oh, because you're not talking about legal justice I guess. You're talking about your own crazy judgment of right & wrong, justice & vengeance. -_-
> Jingliu: The Express won't be able to carry you forever. Your friends all have burdens of their own, just as we did back then.
You don't speak for me, lady.
> Should I be responsible for Dan Feng's actions?
> Jing Yuan: Who you are is a question that only you can find the answer to...
That's changing the subject, man. If you still thought Dan Heng was guilty why did you even rescind his exile? (I am disappointed in you)
> Blade: We have no choice but to continue the pursuit. This is the price the two of us must pay.
Ugh, can't talk to the crazy. So glad I didn't pull for him.
So yeah, probably not going to continue building Jingliu, strong character or not.
I pulled Clara last night and she is also a pretty good 5 star attacker. I'll probably proceed to build her and make her the core of my secondary team.
Then after that, will consider building Gepard (who I also pulled last night), or Qingque (a 4 star attacker who's being going up the ranks).
As for banners, not planning on pulling the rest of this one or the next one (even if I kinda like one of the 4 star's design), or the next duo after that. Gonna save up for Jing Yuan rerun, whenever that's gonna be.

Yeah, Jingliu sounds like she's got some kind of chip on her shoulder. Welp, time to set her aside, even if the game is trying to force your hand. Sometimes you just gotta tell RNGsus "no".
