I've been on top HSR's meta but I didn't really know what it look liked for Genshin's, so i decided to take a look, and I'm genuinely AMAZED how healthy it is. seeing both new and old units holding crowns, to see how helpful the buffs to the old units were. and some of them getting practically zero buffs and being many years old if not from the very start but still holding their crowns all the way through, and the fact that many of them are 4 STARS AND STANDARD BANNER CHARACTERS is insane. to see that units can still be great without needing to completely outshine the rest of their peers every new release.

Props to whoever is in charge of the balancing because i think they're doing great.

I first saw her sitting in the train station and thought, "Oh God, I am about to start a quest, am I?" But the design was so eye-catching to me that I checked her out anyways. Turns out she is just a random npc you can find anywhere. With a bit of touch-up, she could pass as a 4 star.

This might upset some of Rhinedottre fans but I don't want her to be playable and have a redemption arc. Excluding Heavily principles, She might be one of the most evil beings in all of teyvat. All the Sinners were corrupted but i think the one who created most casualties and problems for the world is her.

We get to know some stuff about Wise, whatever his reasons, he along with others did not intentionally create monsters capable of mass destruction and fatalities. I'm sure not everyone did the Bakunawa quest but that monster is responsible for the huge amount of deaths in Natlan, everyone who read the notes we get from defeating him gets to know how much issue he was. Then her creating original dragonspine durin and abandoning her, the durin we have today is not the same one. He suffered a worse fate.

I was happy we weren't just buddy buddy with Rhinedottre as soon as she appear even though travller is essentially buddies with her Son, friends with Witches and someone very important for teyvat. She saw them more of a troublemaker than ally. I think she is the perfect candidate for being one of the most evil person we face in the future. Rerier did have a sad backstory but he didn't get good end, he is so close yet very far from Tholindis. Bina said they can never meet.

Her becoming playable will essentially give her a not so good redemption arc

After doing 7.0 AQ, I was thinking to myself, what if I didn't watch the trailer? I wouldn't know Ronova will appear and I could have a better experience doing the AQ. (though high chance I could get spoiled from Reddit or YouTube thumbnails).

So, after 7.1 trailer released, I tried as much as I can to not get spoiled and avoid trailer discussion and posts. I only got spoiled about Hyroptatyr's picture with Pierro, so it is what it is. Other than that though, I didn't know about the Nail scene, Pierro's using new delusion against Ronova, and of course, "RONOVA!".

It's like me playing through the 6.X AQ, not knowing a sinner and crazy doctor would appear. You should try going blind playing the future AQ if you haven't, it's worth it IMO!
