5 7 kages Archons Summit

[u/ManyInner → u/SynergousSerenade]

Do you want these shades to use susanoo or not?

[u/salasy]

playable paimon

[u/Interesting_Place752]

Show me the Zhongli contract.

[u/Sir_thanksalot89]

with all the nations working together feels like a finale. so hyped for it.

[u/salasy]

4* selector with 1 character from each region

[u/grahamanga]

Valeriy is a shielder via elemental skill and an off-field electro applier, nice. His idle of sending a note via drone to remind Mitya about his job is funny w

The Mitya art accompanying the second code is so beautiful!

[u/Jaegerwock]

The robotic Celestia’s voice is voiced by Paimon’s Seiyuu. So Paimon= Phanes or Phanes’ fragment may be true after all… and Phanes=AI is pretty much confirmed

[u/Pokefreaker-san]

wtf is that a WALKING FISH?

[u/salasy → u/Pokefreaker-san]

another kokomi nerf

[u/teeno731 → u/Pokefreaker-san]

Reverse mermaid

[u/Reddit_RipziK]

Columbina missing from the action in the 7.2 trailer? She seemed so important but then they dont even show her

[u/ohoni → u/Reddit_RipziK]

Technically she isn't boss of anything, and also probably pointless in a board meeting. I would hope she shows up for the big action set piece though.

[u/Luneward → u/ohoni]

Not the boss of anything, but keeping the goddess who holds the trilunar authority in the loop would probably still be a wise decision.

[u/ohoni → u/Luneward]

Maybe Lauma or Nefer should have been in the room to keep her looped in.

[u/HeyimLena12 → u/Reddit_RipziK]

I mean she isn't the head of a nation, nodkrai is connected to snezhnaya I think...? Not sure though. 

[u/maiev18]

Holy shit did Ei actually destroyed the Celestial Nail?

Are the Archons doing a “trial” kinda thing?

[u/Dsectomy → u/maiev18]

prol yes a trial and if they pass the nail gets destroyed and their people are saved im guessing

[u/Kant8]

CELESTIA WELCOMES YOU

[u/SynergousSerenade]

Damn, Natlan chronicled already

[u/Pokefreaker-san]

Paimon banner when?

[u/TheWitcherMigs]

Fih Impact

[u/Ricksaw26]

Minute 3:31. There is pink haired character flying. Who is that?

[u/Luneward → u/Ricksaw26]

My guess is an NPC from some of the new world quests. They're flying toward one of the blight Kresnik clusters, so that probably means it's from a WQ, not an AQ.

[u/Windy_Feather → u/Ricksaw26]

I personally think that's the avatar of Esoptron, since she's also tiny and Paimon coded.

[u/Able-Assist-2824]

I’ve been waiting for 6 years to know what Zhongli’s contract is

[u/yng_lxx]

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH

[u/Pokefreaker-san]

Natlan Chronicle Wish is insanely stacked

[u/Luneward → u/Pokefreaker-san]

True. Though keep in mind all of those characters are basically second or third string damage dealers/supports now. About the only one that holds under modern standards (excepting some rare nightsoul aligned boss) is Xilonen with her near unconditional shred and decent healing.

[u/darkdill]

Anybody else slightly disappointed that Wanderer didn't come with Nahida to Snezhnograd? (or did I just not see him?) I'm guessing Hoyo isn't ready for that level of drama, given Ei and Anastasya would be there.

Also, if Wanderer ever runs into Anastasya, I'm pretty sure she's gonna remember him due to that Transcription Crystal.

[u/Nanasema → u/darkdill]

Wanderer doing everything he can to avoid his biological mom

[u/LaceyLizard → u/Nanasema]

And his old boss. Hostile environment for him lmao

[u/bunnypuff742 → u/darkdill]

I feel like his past with the Fatui is getting addressed at somepoint. Might come 7.3 or in late 7.X interludes.

[u/Luneward → u/darkdill]

...Crap. I forgot about the transcription crystal with regards to Scaramouche. She would be one of the few people who would know, if she cared to go back and review her memories regularly.

[u/niko74]

FINAL CONTACT MENTIONEDDDD!!!!

[u/SynergousSerenade]

Noy spotted

[u/masternieva666]

were are fucking dead.

[u/Pokefreaker-san]

electro NA buffer, that's pretty rare

[u/kalin_carry]

I'm so hyped. We have all the archons toghether, I can't believe it...

[u/Pokefreaker-san]

Archon Assemble!

[u/Pokefreaker-san]

all the archon and regional leader having a meeting in Sneznaya meanwhile Furina is in Natlan. the clueless archon

[u/squishlight → u/Pokefreaker-san]

Furina is like, "More Archon work? None for me thanks! What's the opposite of Cryo, Pyro? To the Nation of Pyro I go!"

[u/Count_de_Mits → u/squishlight]

Going to film a documentary about Saurians narrated by her and David Genshinborough

[u/fur1na1013 → u/Pokefreaker-san]

Once you play the 7.2 Archon Quest, you'll understand why she went to Natlan. For sure.

[u/Pokefreaker-san → u/fur1na1013]

no shit

[u/Difergion]

I find the JP livestream chat a lot better than EN’s, all those kids do is spam L like zombies during the Milliastra segment 💧

[u/moguu83 → u/Difergion]

Having chat open during these is the first mistake

[u/Argyrus__ → u/Difergion]

Deserved

[u/Maister37 → u/Argyrus__]

Based

[u/Argyrus__ → u/Maister37]

DPS Test merchant

[u/Whilyam → u/Argyrus__]

70k people left, apparently. 176k down to just over 100k. I guess everyone figured they'd take a shit while Hoyo showed their turd off.

[u/floricel_112]

No new artifact sets?

[u/HeyimLena12 → u/floricel_112]

Probably in 7.3

[u/SynergousSerenade]

RAIDEN APPEARANCE

[u/New_Kaleidoscope8456]

was there no 3rd code?

[u/kdm52rus → u/New_Kaleidoscope8456]

PhotoTime

[u/madaramasenju → u/New_Kaleidoscope8456]

Phototime

[u/floricel_112]

As mortals, we can't let the gods solve all our problems. I will be there at the front, shielding all I can!"

BAD-ASS!

[u/Luneward → u/floricel_112]

If anyone gets in his way, he will give them his door sized shield to the face. So sayeth Mr Door.

[u/The-Iraqi-Guy]

Which one got the fancy translations? Twitch or YouTube?

[u/SinkingContinent]

Raiden will prove once again why she is one of the top combatants in Teyvat.

[u/floricel_112]

Bruh that weapon for Mitya is so ugly

[u/favorite_time_of_day]

Codes expired. How long are they giving us now?

[u/mikhailb_86]

Is anyone else getting a too many requests error when trying to redeem the codes? Been trying a few times over the past few hours but still getting it. Even tried a completely different device but same issue 

[u/Buckketran]

On the natlan chronicled banner, if I have a 4 star character or weapon, are they from natlan only ?

[u/Richiszkl]

Can anyone summerize this live event in terms of story? I havent finished the latest archon quest, is it gonna be continued in 7.2?

[u/Luneward → u/Richiszkl]

Yes, direct continuation from the end of 7.1.

In fact, if you finish the 7.1 AQ in the next week, you will get a short series of epilogues that involve visiting a number of the countries to see a new phenomena. Those epilogues will be gone once this patch ends.

[u/Ryouou]

good
