Genshin's powercreep is all time high.. and you can't change my mind otherwise

It all started with Neuvi and Arle. Pioneer of breaking 100k dps at c0r0. Then it became the norm in natlan. Then came Mavuika, who was supposed to bring the new ceiling to around 135k. But with her i...

Dear Devs: Not every enemy needs to gain strength every round.

It is actually okay to just let one or two of the enemy’s remain the same amount of strength their whole battle. I promise everything will still be okay.

Psst. Hey, kid. You want some energy??

I started this run with three curses (Thanks, beta branch!) and took my lumps on the first two floors. Now I feel unstoppable. The lesson here? ALWAYS gamble!

Combat damage, loss of life?

I play this, and opponent still wants his creature to deal combat damage to trigger an effect. If players can’t lose life, but he wants to swing at a player, is that still consider combat damage?

Each multi-clock for each weapon is earned separately, meaning it requires 25 blank cores to unlock all multi-clocks (24 weapons and one for the lithofoamer)

Will Hook finally go down from T0?

I know she's been dominating since 1.0 but do you think she'll go down this version? I tried using her in the current MoC and it took me more than 0 cycle. The power creep in this game is insane.

Wuwa, why do you keep putting these buffs when the characters isnt even close to release.

Atleast do the same for spectro frazzle, Zani is on banner, people still want her. I understand all gacha games do this but the way Wuwa tends to shill for their characters are strange to me.
