I Made a Genshin Alignment Chart That Will Upset Everyone 

but diona has a kitty shield its cute

hi :)

if diona was a male character i would play them alot but i cant stand her design, i completely agree and that part, but i think her kit deserves a bit more on the fun scale xD

No.

Her kit's really useful for a 4 star. Even if the kit isn't super interesting, it's very useful and easily attainable by typical players.

Ayato used to have another version of the "about Itto" voiceline, where he sounds very... disgusted? Definitely not just like he finds it weird in a lovable way. The current version of it right now in the game sounds a lot friendlier.

In the Chinese version he sounds like he outright likes him.

​@@finthecat9373yeah that was definitely an issue in the EN side, he was meant to sound fond while talking about Itto Cause they're canonically friends. Ayato bought Itto an expensive and limited edition TCG deck, and even made a festival based on what Itto likes (adjusted an already planned festival)

100% true. In most of the other languages besides EN, its clear from the tone that Ayato likes Itto. They hang out often, likely against the advice of his advisors as a Kamisato nobleman. Ayato may seem the stiff and upright type, but he has a fun, mischievous lil heart, as he himself was somewhat robbed of a normal childhood

@@Hakumai_o7 That's what I love about Ayato and why I can't really understand why people say he has no personality. If he weren't a commissioner and raised to be super elegant, he'd be a complete menace. He makes Thoma eat completely random stuff for shits and giggles and messes with people on the regular and yeah, he has a tendency to make his advisors mad lmao TL;DR Ayato great we love him

Cyno grew on me for that reason alone. He just never stops with the Dad jokes. It was annoying at first and then he commits to the routine and you come around. XD

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS 😭 i mained her since i started playing the game

Same. Diona main here.

uh oh here comes the diona main horde

​@@bosssnurp5912i dont even have her and i 100% agree with this lmao

I can't look at her and not think she is Lolicon bait. Can't judge a character seems to be that

Yeah. I really want to see them interact more

The voice directors decide how the character will sound not the VA. But otherwise yeah they're actually good buddies.

@@-Genki yeah, sure

Chongyun is so adorable and it's such a tragedy that hyv did him so dirty. All of his interesting stories are relegated to the voicelines/character stories part of the character menu. Every time he does show up he's just XQ's pretty shadow which sucks because he baby. Doesn't help that he got cast out of the meta almost immediately, when he can deal quite a lot of personal damage even as a day 1 4*. Justice for popsicle.

At the very least, his hangout is so fluffy and funny ❤

the tragedy is that his friend isn't even relevant to the storyline, and is kinda boring as a character, so it's even sadder to realize Chongyun, a character dripping with potential, is staying in the shadow of a character who doesn't even have personal conflicts aside from bad handwriting. Hoyo really likes Xingqiu for some reason, and they apparently think that he is somehow more interesting than his friend whom they seemingly didn't intend to be relevant.

@@ryzhik9608 Now, now, there's no need to bring down another character just to elevate Chongyun. Both are good characters in their own rights.

@@kiel127 Xingqiu got too much screen time where he did nothing. Sorry, I can't not be salty about it. If Hoyo did something interesting with him I wouldn't say anything, but what we got is "haha I'm a book nerd I love books so much, I can read guys, and I'm writing books for weebs, my handwriting is ass tho..." Like he has his story quest, he gets a decent amount of lines in every Liyue event, he stole Chongyun's appearance in Shenhe's archon quest, he got a role on Inazuma's festival event and all we got from that was... He can read and his handwriting is shit. His character is described to be a funny man with a heart of gold, noble and heroic, but what we get to see is a brat showing off before criminals and being a lazy ass while his friends doing all of the job for him. It wouldn't be that bad if the man in his shadow wasn't a goddamn exorcist with an ACTUAL heart of gold, who has possible ties to dragon lore giving his dragon-shaped eyes and Yang energy inside of him (yang -> dragon), his aunt is a menace and their interactions would've been hilarious IF WE HAD THEM IN THE GAME LOL TWO YEARS LATER, who actually does have a personal conflict, actually does heroic stuff without being pretentious about it and also has another personality inside of him. Oh by the way, did we get to see his second personality? Nope : ) Layla got to shine with hers right away. Maybe because she didn't have someone else stealing her screentime. I don't hate Xingqiu I like him and his interactions with Chongyun, but I'm pretty pissed how Hoyo did Chongyun dirty, and Xingqiu was their biggest mistake in that regard. Not only did Xingqiu get almost nothing from all those hours of screentime, but in his place, there could've been another character who would've fit way better and had much more to offer.

fr tho

Have you seen Aether as abyss prince? Not having her as lead character means the "antagonist" (?) twin at least has flair to them. 😅

@@derp_dragons Whether or not he's a good Abyss Prince, my main issue is them insisting both characters are the protagonist but then going "But she's definitely the canon antagonist" in any promotional material that requires having one and also up until very recently weren't even having her voice actor DO anything (she didn't even get to say Happy Lantern Rite like he did lol)

yes, this! the traveller has a personality. i hate how people misintepret silent protags = self-inserts. not all silent protags are self-inserts. i know traveller in the beginning came off bland but lately. hoyo been showing traveller's fun side more, like the recent summer event. i hope hoyo will show the traveller's personality more and not just in their voicelines

The Traveler is 100% a silent protagonist the same way Byleth is in Fire Emblem 3 Houses or Joker is in Persona 5, they never speaks out loud in story except for a VERY few select cases He is basing his opinion of personality off of events and story quests, not character screen voice lines, thats the same reason he thinks Ayato hates Itto, because he isnt basing it off the voicelines, only events and etcetera

@@rinnies7474 Ugh. I liked the traveler more through the archon quests than in the summer event.

I love this take!!!

Yeah, I never really liked the idea of Jean putting Klee in “solitary confinement”, especially since I’ve seen other stories use that as punishment and character trauma. I’m not saying that Jean’s abusive or trying to traumatize Klee, but I do think it’s weird how she thinks isolating a child into a small room for hours (and maybe even days) is a good idea.

Fr, their relationship is literally the first one who I found interesting.

lol Noelle didn’t pass the exam herself and she is very young, how is it any of Jean’s fault? Children needs to be disciplined especially one with bombs. I know you admitted that you are probably projecting somewhat. But realistically speaking, in- game Klee never resented Jean for that and she knows she was basically just grounded for a few hours because she did something wrong.

@@ClouDistrict31 it’s explicitly said that Noelle passes the requirements to be a knight, but Jean keeps failing her because she doesn’t want Noelle to get hurt. Which makes no sense 😂 to be a Knight is to put oneself at risk of being harmed. She’s literally fueling Noelle’s insecurities because she doesn’t trust her, meanwhile Noelle is still capable of doing the same work as any other Knight (it’s in the Knights of Favonius handbook that you can’t rely on Noelle to get the job done)

I understand for Raiden but shenhe was never even portrayed as evil or even questionnable? She has always been on the good side, just has a colder personality because she hasn't been around a lot of humans when she grew up

@@-amel-9896 yea shenhe is just a sweet person

​@-amel-9896 her nature pushes her to extreme violence and she doesn't quite see what's wrong with that, the red rope stops her from being violent but also supresses her other emotions.

Her being more violent wouldve been more fun

exactly! i was really hoping for her to be a serious villian till the end in this story

People saying "autistically coded" or "[blank] coded" in general makes me cringe so bad I wanna leave this existence.

​@@Rex13013skill issue

@@Ironsuaba lol

you’re so right re: hu tao!! other characters i see as being on the spectrum zhongli - hyperfixating, infodumping, always happy to share information even if people have probably heard it before as long as he’s prompted (and sometimes even when he isn’t) eula - not great at reading the atmosphere sometimes but she tries. feels like she is always very conscious of how people perceive her and if she’s doing things ‘right’ (i hesitate on this one bc i don’t want people to associate autism with bigotry which eula is indirectly associated with re: lawrence clan) sayu - feeling tired easily from social interactions esp from sensory overload (tbh this is more of a chronic illness thing but sensory issues have a great overlap with autism), brain fog kokomi: masking masking masking!!!!!! it wears her out xinyan - unapologetically herself in the best way, doesn’t try to conform to social “rules” she thinks have no real basis (i adore her), maybe has some issues with volume check aka talking loudly when excited regardless of setting, many neurodivergent and autistic people in general seem to find space to be themselves and express through art (as she does with music), also stimmy other mentions: yoimiya, tighnari, albedo, fischl, xingqiu, razor(?), cyno, kazuha, chongyun, xiao, shenhe, raiden, often because of their special interests or how they have difficulty interpreting social norms/other’s feelings - listen i started with a list of just 3 characters and now im adding basically everybody but now might as well disregard this list lol also adhd gang - kaveh, venti, yoimiya hu tao xiangling - really most pyro gals & sucrose collei ganyu kokomi w/ anxiety issues (and i hc that sucrose has rosacea bc if her cheeks) qiqi with brain fog

​@@Rex13013 that sentiment will also never leave me 😔 whenever people say "omg X char is Y coded" it makes me feel like im homicidal coded

Based on this we can clearly see how the amount of screen time a character is given affects how invested the general audience is with them, and that even with really complex lore and personalities; if they weren't given enough screen time no one would be that invested to learn

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO. and he doesnt like how yelan and miko were so trope-y but he likes yoimiya, amber, etc which are just lame happy waifu tropes whom have no personality besides being nice and barely any lore (or at least not very complex or interesting)

​@whos_lin He also gave Miko the worst summary of her character I've seen. "Seductress" is defninitely not the vibe she's going for. If he reduced her to being a troll/asshole it would've been more accurate despite it still being wrong.

I agree, these two need to see a therapist ASAP. Also I wouldn't say Alhaitham is an ass, he's more like an individualist who likes to speak bluntly. I think he's definitely capable of being caring, considerate and even kinda sweet sometimes.

@@omnipresent_lightbulb Nah he is totally an ass. He reminds me of people who say "well I am not rude I was just being a honest!!!" Worst people to interact with who use honesty as an excuse to be rude towards others lmao

Alhaitham just has no EQ. He thinks he is helping you by giving you the tough love you need, but is never going to be a shoulder to cry on.

@@John_II read his lines during the celebratory feast and you will understand, EQ doesn't necessarily mean that you're nice and sweet all the time, it means that you have a good understanding of human emotions

I only tolerate Alhaitham because he's an important person to Kaveh (who's the best character ever) and even though they should really work on their relationship, it seems like they have been through a lot and they were always there for each other even if they don't always have the same opinions.

i feel like that was the sentiment at the begining but with the events and kaveh's hangout even people who dont ship them have turned around to alhaitham, but that first part where we only got a snippet of kaveh and well. Alhaitham being Alhaitham was REAL TOUGH. i love kaveh so much and i love alhaihtam too but i know if i were to meet him irl i wouldnt stand him LMAO

@@elan5614THIS IS SO REAL. I love Alhaitham and I main him but I wouldn’t stand talking to him irl

im a huge kaveh fan and i LOVE alhaitham

It's not hard at all. Just say yae and raiden not necessarily a lesbian couple and just good friends. Or say dark skinned characters are dark enough

@@coominriderI still find it funny that a lot of people just can’t accept that Ei and Miko are relatives

@@ANUBISseyes2 Source: Me.

truly an english dub moment

@@icekiller1594 What do you expect from the Eng dub after making Paimon unnecessarily annoying, Xiao unnecessarily edgy and Alhaitham & Kaveh unnecessarily rude to each other ?

​@duonggialinh5724 hopefully that changes with the new va studio after all the stuff with the old one not paying their actors came out since they're mostly at fault for how they were directing the dub,,, we live in hope

also he likes itto, he just thinks its funky that itto calls him 'bro' since he's such a powerful figure and never's been treated like that but itto doesn't know so for him ayato's just his bro 😭i love their dynamic. there's also this artpiece i saw ages ago of them beetlefighting where ayato was cheering a bettle named elizabeth 💀 canon to me

Ayato is definitely one of the few genshin chara that have so many sides to him 1. Yashiro Commissioner - always level headed and calm, manipulative and will always go for the fastest and most effective method. 2. Kamisato clan head - a loving and protective big brother, will do ANYTHING to keep his family safe and has little to no regard about himself 3. Just Ayato - a lil sht, really mischievous and a bit sadistic, really likes teasing his friends and acts a bit spoiled 4. Shuumatsuban Head - cold blooded and has large body count, anyone that dares get in his way will be disposed off, will use anyone to achieve his goals

makes me think of Eichi.

Agree

Ayato is definitely a character you'll have to dig around more to find out more about him He has really interesting connections to different characters and factions (Ning and the Fatui) He's also one of the really morally Grey characters, he operates a slightly more moral fatui organization afterall

Yeah I got so pissed off in the TCG championship event that we got where we got to battle AYAKA instead of Ayato like why??? Ayato CANONICALLY plays tcg why the fuck is he not in the event???

​@@mikii278Yeah he's super basic in the quests, so most people, like me, who don't dig much into the character won't really know much about him. Plus, they gave him one of the worst story quests in the game. The story itself wasn't bad, but the fact that he was basically a background character the whole time made it terrible

​@@DeVoidASin a sense, that kind of stayed true to his nature. after all, he does prefer to stand behind the scenes and not be in the spotlight

@@junkoyaki5486 Yea I get that, but if you're doing his STORY quest, I expect the STORY to be knowing more of who he is, like his background or his history, his relationships with certain people or whatever. Just to have SOME feeling like he's more than just an extra that's barely mentioned in his own story

To this day I can never forgive the Genshin fandom for mischaracterizing Alhaitham

Clearly Tsaritsa does something right if Childe is that crazy about her. Perhaps it's her charisma

I completely agree with you. While on the outside he is blunt and can be a lil shit at times but inside he still cares about his friends very much but he just doesn't know how to show it ( I like to think that it's due to his family's death but I could he wrong or whatever ). His relationship with Kaveh is def more complicated and misunderstood. If you have read Kaveh's Character Story 5 ( which I doubt anyone does except me ), you would know that Alhaitham does not hate Kaveh, in fact he cares about him a lot. He only acts " mean " to Kaveh so that Kaveh wouldn't be hard on himself because he thinks that he doesn't deserve kindness. Alhaitham is the only person Kaveh doesn't have to pretend to be ok and let go of his ideals around. So platonic or romantic, I absolutely love their relationship and could spend hours and hours ranting about. And about Alhaitham particularly, he's so misunderstood which makes me sad not only because he's my favorite character but also because I relate to him a lot

They really need to fix her shield. it's so wrecked

@@IvoryTaurean literally anything that would fix her split scaling would be fine by me

Isn't it every single community ever, tho? I've been on the internet for literal decades now and it's the same in every single fandom. People whished death on each other with full seriousness over Sally vs Amy Rose in Sonic fandom back in ye olden days ))

@@Rina_TL fr lol every community has a giant bias so i "understand" but Sonic tho? They are wild, i remember saying that Sonic should be alone forever and people just massacrated me for that (good ol days)

I hate Paimon. I want anyone who has a big sword to just give it a nice big swing in the direction of her neck.

If you like autoclicker playstyle then he and Yoi are your favorites. If not they're the most boring ones, lol

it depends on who you ask. If you ask someone who likes easy to use visually cool characters, they'll say he's super fun whereas if you ask anyone who doesn't like repetitive and easy gameplay, they'll say ayato's boring. Even as an ex ayato main, I have to say that many would get bored of his playstyle pretty quickly (I haven't tho I just stopped maining him cause I started maining yelan).

He's fun to me. I've been maining him on both my accounts since his release and never felt bored with him for a second. Still 36* every Abyss with him a year and a half later.

What Ayato offers aside from a really easy playstyle is great versatility, you can use him in any hydro related comp and he'll be good and wouldn't have major downsides

That "people" are just mostly childe mains probably, if you don't want to stress much ayato is for you, besides that, it looks cool too visually so yeah..

She's also got the best JP VA in the game 💯

Agreed

Her kit is broken, she's always side by side with nahida and kazuha in the abyss usage rate in CN meta. Do you even have her? All I see is a hater

​@@Oly876nah hes right. They just made another "sadistic" Woman who people would call mommy and made her extremely broken to sell well

@@yokumob Agree to disagree👍

@@Oly876 thats fine 👍 use who you like and be happy with them

@@yokumobIf we follow your logic, why would they make deya trash if she's clearly a mommy and a lot of people wanted her so bad.

She's moreso super-spy casino lady. Genshin's style depends on the character, it can be straight up modern or archaic when it wants to.

I was forced to pull for her because I needed double hydro Yanfei but she is just not visually interesting

i agree. i’ve always disliked her design.

I do not understand the casino aesthetic....is there some story about that?Im not too familiar with her lore and stuff

my initial reaction when I saw her was… very confused. I didn’t like her character design, but she looked pretty fun to play. She’s still a good character but I don’t think she’s for everyone lol

Wait, Dori isn’t a piece of shit. Well kit-wise maybe. But she is so particular about getting as much money as possible because someone related to her (I think her sister or something? Unsure) died because her family could not afford medicine. She is just coping with that loss by pushing to make sure she never has to experience that again. That’s a very human sentiment. Sure, her voicelines can get annoying and we only ever see a surface picture of her goals, but she is not a total piece of shit. She’s a fool who thinks money can solve the problems she’ll encounter in the future, but she is not a malignant person. She is not evil or cruel and she isn’t meant to be. She is a good character with good intentions, but a really simplistic and stupid way of going about it. She isn’t morally complex because she doesn’t have to be.

I want Paimon to be decapitated as the story continues. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I've never seen a single Kaveh fan who hates Alhaitham before he's probably just joking

Calling characters mommy is gross

Yeah but you kinda have to look at it from a backstory standpoint and compare it to xiao. They both went through emotional torture and were ready to end it all for the sake of others. Xiao was grumpy and emo in 1.0 but is much more warmed up to humans in recent events, and I think wanderer will go through this kind of transition over time. Just maybe not in the same way. Meanwhile the hate Faruzan gets is I think mostly hoyoverse’s fault. You get to experience Wanderer’s and Xiao’s cutscenes of their backstories, and a lot of their character development through their own interlude quests, meanwhile Faruzan only gets a mention of her story and character in her hangout event, which many people didn’t get to see. Kinda expected since she’s a four star.

@@annamemes6652 Wanderer and Xiao have no excuse to constantly be pep-talked to act decent with every screentime they get. Wanderer had a whole arc dedicated to him only and it only revealed that his attitude is his choice. Xiao's getting better in events but both of their playable personalities are hair-ripping compared to Faruzan's. You even have to consider that Faruzan, who's a normal human being who experienced just as much loss as those two, took the loss in stride because her outlook is much better. Point is, people shouldn't do these tierlists without consuming all content about a character because 4-stars will always get less than a feautred 5-star.

@@salceds I don't think its a matter of not having consumed the content. I also like Wanderer. And I liked Faruzan better before doing her hangout event. As I went through her hangout event, she just seemed to be more and more incompetent than I initially imagined. With Wanderer, he gets it that he has to look out for himself and he doesn't owe anybody anything. That's just a realistic view of the world. Sure, cooperating is often a better way to do things. But I don't blame him after he's been betrayed like he has. I know that despite not blaming him, that doesn't mean you have to like him or want to be around him. But the harsh comments don't really bother me personally and I find him to be humorous. He trashes on Paimon after all. Everyone should like that.

@@Elrog3 Faruzan's a beast lmao. Everyone she loved died and everything she cared about is gone yet she still makes connections because there's only up to go for where she's from. Wanderer however is stuck-up and self-centered, his entire backstory can be summarized by refusing to let go of your own ego because it's the only thing he has left. He wants to be pitied, he wants to be coddled and told it's okay. Faruzan wants NONE of that, her "incompetence" as you described is her just being a normal person reacting to literally a different world. She knows what happened to her is tragic, she knows she's pitiful but the very last thing she wants is to be pitied and looked at with sadness hence the bravado she puts up. She'd rather be seen as a stubborn force than a pathetic slump. I don't really think highly of anyone who thinks Wanderer is funny, it's just the usual "Oh, I'm the edgy sarcastic badass look at me so I'm tough" and Paimon slander is sooo 2021 like grow up. The only people who find that *that* humorous are either Twitch streamers or anime MC wannabes with a dash of incels thrown into the mix.

@@salceds Hating paimon isn't anything about trying to be funny. I was simply expressing a strongly held opinion. I don't like her and I don't know how anyone could. She's terrible all around. She's obese and gross to look at. Her high pitched voice is horrible. She says the stupidest things. She is mean sometimes for no reason at all. And she's childish and complains a lot. I would pay money for the option to shut her up. I wasn't playing the game in 2021. I started in 3.7. And the entire worlds etiquette doesn't change every 2 years. And did you really like your own post and tell me to grow up? Faruzan being from a 100 years ago does not justify her being incompetent when it comes to being able to find students or being able to create a game/toy/thing that is fun. Its expected that there's knowledge she would have to catch up on. But general communication and understanding social interactions is not something that fits in that category. She probably sucked at it 100 years ago too. Yes, Wanderer is self-centered. But nothing about him says "I want to be pitied". He probably would like to do some pretty mean things to people that would try to pity him. It would be insulting.
