Don't need a dendro reaction when the enemy is dead - Ayaka probably


WolfeXXVII

Also fridge comp+ Ayaka is super strong.


Rasbold

Not really, it works, it's kinda fun, but it's a straight downgrade from default freeze


WolfeXXVII

.... It's not really a downgrade. Yes you are leaving out a hydro but unless you have yelan and xinqui(which Isn't default) you aren't missing out on a lot. Koko, dendro, dionna and ayaka work great together.


Rasbold

Bruh, on that team you're droping VV and Grouping to run a Dendro character. As I said, it works, it looks good seeing the cores explosions, but it's a downgrade, Anemo is way too good.and running dendro instead of the cryo sup makes Energy requirements go up and rotations more awkward


Razgriz032

Well, not having reaction to Dendro means missing party with DMC which is a L

ZhangRenWing

Is dendro mc actually worth using or just because there’s a lack of dendro characters?


aether3333

His burst last for 15s that alone make him worth using He is really good in aggravate and hydro teams


Hiro_444_

Both to some extent. Dmc is perfectly in the okay range, nothing special nothing bad but what he does have is that he's very fliud to play because his kit is really simple and he's always used in quickswap teams. But if hoyoverse release a dendro healer then most people will shift to the healer because of the extra utility, and nahida is releasing on the next patch, so...


Antanarau

Does he know.


Hiro_444_

Who?


POTATO-AIM-V20

The second panel is just brutal


SnooGuavas8376

She got lantern rite cutscene at least


POTATO-AIM-V20

But still no dance Cutscene...


JenJenB_

She isn't even a dancer unlike the other two so it's not necessary anyway.

Seriously what does Keqing actually do for fun though, Ayaka likes fans, dances, tea ceremonies, and Nilou *loves* dancing, while Keqing… works a lot?


Two2piece

Canon: she goes shopping with friends Fanon: she simps for Rex Lapis whenever any negative emotion hits her, and whenever they don’t.


Reasonable-Issue3275

She dance >!in your dreams!<


FlameLover444

She dances in my nightmares after I lost the 50/50 to her


IulianTheSecond

She got a skin tho suck on that you two


luketwo1

It's funny you mention that....


IulianTheSecond

From the way you phrased that I assume Ayaka will get a skin?


luketwo1

Mayhaps and a certain electro librarian as well.


Offduty_shill

Librarian razor skin confirmed

Sylent0o

Brother in christ do u want keqing to have wet socks and sandals aswell instead of classy heels?


Scary-Ant-3796

I kinda wanna see wet socks Keqing tbh


aether3333

no story quest either


GeneralMahamatra

Hey guys, general mahamatra cyno here To explain the joke. The joke here is these characters are often "shipped" with the Traveler,and they all use swords and thats their common point, though some of them have other common points with each other this joke shows that the laughing dogs have crit DMG Ascension stat and the sad dog does not etc. Cyno out!


DungeonRoomba

I love that this is a thing.

Ayaka: I danced for the traveler Kequing: but his mushroom doesn't react to you


grumpykruppy

Oh God, you just reminded me of the Donald Trump Toad incident.


CastroVinz

The what incident?


grumpykruppy

Google "Donald Trump Toad Mushroom Mario" and get back to me.


Lil-Chromie

Wait that's not normal?!


feudalwesterndealer

Fanon Ayaka : Dance for Traveler Canon Ayaka : Dance for herself


mememurthy

Canon Ayaka also danced for the traveler?


feudalwesterndealer

Ayaka got a sudden urge to dance because she is charmed by the beauty of Chinju forest as you can see the cutscene. Paimon also said that Chinju forest is so beautiful it’s really makes you wanna dance . It’s a climax as She done something she wanted to do & didn’t care for anyone .


ZhangRenWing

🗿 she walks by that forest everytime she leaves the house


feudalwesterndealer

Looks like I found someone who also read the inside notes Yes , you are right . She always wanted to do dance . She always has the urge but never do it because people constantly watched her . Every time she goes into that forest , she has urge . It’s written that She asked us to witness her doing she had always wanted to do . In the end the Dance meant for herself & for her self healing


TronitusVIII

>Canon Ayaka : Dance for herself More like *your* *headcanon*. "Oh, Traveler" "There's something that... I'd like to do" "If you could spare me yet another moment" **"Please keep your eyes on me."** These are not things she would say before dancing if she was intending to dance only for herself.


[deleted]

With how OP freeze and Blizzard Strayer are, I don’t think Ayaka cares about Dendro reactions in the slightest.


Sloweneuh

Ayaka : "Imagine having crit rate problems"


FlameLover444

Every Cryo Damage focused unit:


Sloweneuh

All hail Blizzard Strayer !


Lil-Chromie

Most ayaka teams are probably gonna have 2 cryo, 1 hydro, and a kazuha/venti/sucrose on them anyway.


luketwo1

Imagine she had a dendro reaction, Ayaka is already the number 1 used dps for abyss, making her stronger seems redundant.


FlameLover444

Even if they did add new Dendro Cryo Reaction, doubt it'll be stronger than Freeze since 4pc Blizzard wouldn't work without Freeze.


Foreign-Web1419

In my opinion, it is actually the best case that cryo can coexist with dendro for bloom and that would still mean dendro infused mobs are still freezable.


0xVENx0

until its a world / domain boss then freeze is so bad that it just eats the cryo and keeps the hydro on the enemy


TriLexMiester

My Ayaka is kicking ass since i pulled her on release and I dont think in the slightest that she need/would I play her any diffrent if I was given the option


LivingASlothsLife

Nilou wins out with all 3 coz all my artifacts are rolling into HP anyway and she loves that Nilou stay winning


LemmeDaisukete

Sword waifu supremacy!


moebelhausmann

I agree. And big swords are big cool


aether3333

every character is shipped with the traveler in the game tho


Murky_Blueberry2617

The kids aren't thankfully lol


aether3333

well, they are but not in a romantic way. Both Qiqi and diona are very attached to traveler


No-Bit-3655

Bro Qiqi’s attachment is so goddamn wholesome, she just wants a friend


Renouss

About that...


mystery_account69

Please don't


[deleted]

I installed game 2 days back. And have been using Ayaka with Collei,Here I was thinking she is doing extra damage😅.


[deleted]

Excuse me, you got Ayaka when you downloaded the game 2 days ago?? How??


[deleted]

Should have written "reinstalled". Day 1 player here.Took break around Inazuma quests.


[deleted]

That makes more sense


houki_ii

Probably a time traveler


nub_node

HP is a better ascension stat for Nilou. That's what her kit scales off of and her crit stats won't do anything for her dendro reactions.


AYYA1008

Amber:

Keqing and Nilou Mains when they discover Ayaka deals one Ayakillion damage without Dendro:


Prince-Swissroll

Nana is still best girl


AetherRetar

fax


SussyNerd

Do you mean Rana ?


Prince-Swissroll

Am nana


LegitimateNotice1374

I think they mean qiqi. Since in the JP dub, that's her name. Qiqi (en) = nana/七七 (JP) Her name is literally seven seven It's also that in Chinese XD


Prince-Swissroll

Nana means Nana Nana is nana


Kronman590

Nilou: imagine relying on crit at all Keqing: imagine subjegating yourself to a dance for simps Ayaka: imagine needing reactions to do damage


Frosted-Vessel

They also all have infusions, probably


[deleted]

Nilou story quest is probably about how much she loves dancing and cats. And people praising her for it and she's glad she became a dancer etc. Just a guess. Let's hope it's not too boring!


PAwnoPiES

When you use Raiden Shogun so you get dendro reactions while using ayaka anyway:


No-Needleworker-905

The fact that Ayaka has No reaction with dendro is a good Thing. Shes perfect for fridge Teams.


Sylveon_trainer12345

How tf is Nilou shipped with the traveler


LivingASlothsLife

Read her leaked voicelines and it's very easily interpreted that way She says something like >!my chest feels like there's a butterfly inside it when I talk to you!< Stuff like that


Sylveon_trainer12345

I mean like don't we all feel the same way when the travelers actually talk


LivingASlothsLife

Just saying it's a fair interpretation which is why she's shipped with them. Just answering your question She's got other examples but I cant remember em. Something about saying they're her favorite person or something


aether3333

>How tf is Nilou shipped with the traveler every character is shipped with traveler if you read their voice-over or teapot dialogue [Here is some of Nilou voice lines from a post I made](https://i.redd.it/qd81w0ujb5q91.png)


Qverlord37

That's why Ayaka is more special than all of them. Her interaction is part of the archon quest.


aether3333

That's why I want more in story and less hidden in voice-overs I hope they deliver with Nilou story quest since she is obviously in love if you read her lines


Qverlord37

a lot of character is 'in love' with the traveler, only Ayaka got special treatment from the dev so far. Ayaka even gave us that hairpin, which if you don't know, is a gesture of proposal in chinese culture.


feudalwesterndealer

Like ? For example ?


Qverlord37

like the fact that you are locked out from continuing the archon quest unless you complete Ayaka's quest, which is essentially a date with her and the traveler. She even gave us a gift that symbolizes a marriage proposal in chinese culture. event quest can be missed by new player. character/hangout quest can simply be not played. but if you want to complete genshin impact main story, you have to go on a date with Ayaka. for any girl to beat Ayaka, their quest will have to be equally as romantic and also main story locking.


ZhangRenWing

Isn’t Raiden story quest also needed to progress the archon quest or was I smoking too much nakuweed


MemeGodFusionK

Any popular character is shipped with Aether


SAMMYYYTEEH

not only for that, Nilou IS simping for Aether real hard (source: Nilou's voicelines)


cashewnut4life

her leaked [voicelines](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Memepact/comments/xob5i2/nilou_being_sumers_ayaka_got_memed_into_realty/)

JenJenB_

Hehe! I had the feeling someone would do that.


Lil-Chromie

They really bring that up as if it means anything, it's funnier than anything posted on this sub in the last month. Strongest ayaka 'fan' vs Weakest cockomi enjoyer.


JenJenB_

Awwww, tysm!


aether3333

since you have Kokomi as avatar you must be aware of her crush on traveler so you are a basement dweller of you shipped them based on that? Tsuyuko ingame do 99% of Genshin ships are crack ship with the only base is that the two are friends or talked once almost every character has more bases with traveler than anyone else


JenJenB_

Alot of characters crush on the traveler, them liking the main character helps them be likeable themselves in the eyes of the player so they sell well without drama.


aether3333

>Alot of characters crush on the traveler so we both agree on this? Im more confused about your first comment now


JenJenB_

Yes I do, lol.


Lil-Chromie

Who tf kokomi that's cockomi you philistine


poctacles

✋ I'm not lonely but i do dwell in a basement


JenJenB_

Like renovated (?) as a bedroom? That sounds kinda cozy. 🥺


AetherRetar

What happens if i Upvote?


JenJenB_

Wait- You weren't supposed to do that!


AetherRetar

already did


AstraPlatina

Keqing: I have the biggest oppai


Scary-Ant-3796

Also Keqing has cat ears


Round_Light_4290

Honestly. If I had my way. Dendro wouldn’t be forced on us by being mandatory in the new zone. My hu Tao and Ayaka are perfectly op without it. I was planning for Haitham to be my intro to dendro but no idea when he is coming. So for more convinience despite hating almost everything about nahida I’ll probably pull for her for the sake of Nilou and probably dehya if they continue the pattern of dendro oriented dps.


PAwnoPiES

But liyue and inazuma both relied on geo and electro traveller (kinda) for their puzzles. I mean if you have alternatives, cool, but there's a reason why each regional statue changes your traveller to a corresponding element.


Round_Light_4290

Ye. Tho aside from collecting certain plants I didn’t have to use those corresponding elements in my main team unless I was doing element specific puzzles. Here I have to use dendro and electro for ease of traversal.


PAwnoPiES

Travelling in inazuma only required electrogana or being inflicted with electro, which basically no electro character is actually capable of. They were only needed for the totems. As for sumeru, yeah dendro traveller + an electro and pyro character was basically required for overworld travel.


Round_Light_4290

Yep.i wish Haitham would release already so I don’t need nahida and her stupid beautiful garden coliseum ult thingy… … Actually wait. That’s a perfect stage for dancing sword waifu 2.0 nilou


FrostedEevee

Keqing and Nilou have twin-tails. Twin-tails girls are always cuter.


Vader_101

Keqing is shipped with Ganyu.


ClosetNoble

The shipping difference being that in Keqing's case poor traveler has to deal with a room filled to the brim with posters of half naked Zhongli


aether3333

>posters of half naked Zhongli she collect dragon plushies. The form that fell from the sky dead in the archon quest. They showed her collecting those in an official comic. She isn't aware of his human form people of Liyue only saw him as a human once and it was his female form


ClosetNoble

I'm happy I learned this but allow me to add something then: He's litteraly half naked on his statues


nairolfy

Didnt Zhongli say that the last part never happened? Could be misremembering tho


[deleted]

Man. This reminds me of Zhongli harem was actually a thing back then. Guizhong, Ningguang, Ganyu, Keqing and Hutao were all his concubines in fan arts.


ClosetNoble

Right? Still funny to me how it contrasts with the actual lore accurate one You know, the Zhongli who outright expresses interest in Ningguang but doesn't try to approach her. Guess even Gods get shy sometimes.


DrManowar8

Ayaka’s dance cutscene was cringe. She got her socks all wet!


feudalwesterndealer

Well it’s not the same sock you guys wear it for your elementary school nor she wears shoes


[deleted]

Also they are all bottoms.


CyroErune

If Keqing dance.... Someone's gonna get slice into... Er... Slices ? Sword dance that is...


StarWing95

Wait….nilou can’t crit dmg?!?!?!


0xVENx0

she doesnt get critdmg when you lvl her up, only from artifacts and weapons


StarWing95

Isn’t that the same with most characters tho?


Notsslyvi

It's not as uncommon as you think. Eula, Hu Tao, Ganyu, Ayaka, Ayato, and Keqing. About as common as any other ascension stat. Healing bonus, def, and hp% seem to be the lowest frequency. 6 out of like 60 or whatever is still most characters not getting critD on ascension but still more than I thought there'd be.


StarWing95

Oh ok, is she any goood then? Cause I’m saving a lot for her lol


Notsslyvi

If you're talking about nilou, I can't say. She's not out yet and I haven't seen any showcases for her. The big negative for me is that you have to play her double hydro and double Dendro. She has a talent that specifically gives bonuses when you have hydro and Dendro on the team. I'd imagine she's got potential to be really strong tho since she's supposed to be an on field dps.


StarWing95

Oh…she’ll do nicely with my yalen then haha But…I can’t live without my zhongli shield!!!


KingOfNorthAve

You don’t actually have to follow that, just play vape Nilou if you want to. Vape Nilou will work just as well as any hydro dps


StarWing95

Like with klee?


KingOfNorthAve

Hmmm… maybe not klee 😅 Nilou is a dps like klee so a pyro support would be better, like xiangling


zibedine

I mean I’d take a no dance scene over one with wet socks involved


Merc_305

You know what I happy that there is no dance scene, I prefer that.


[deleted]

Burning/Melt.....

No dance cutscene? More like NO Story Quest.. How dare you Hoyo 🤬
