Those are the most popular trailers of all time. That is completely fair. I personally don't have any 5 star that has a trailer except for Keqing and Yelan. My favorite character on the other hand is Albedo. I really just want to add him to my team.
Just because one character is the same element and weapon as another, doesn't mean that they're similar. For example fischl and kujou Sara are the same element and weapon but do different things for your team. Fischl is focused on applying electro for elemental reactions while Sara is focused on buffing the team.
53:13 yun jin is a character that is heavily inspired by chinese opera. She introduced that art globally via this game and upon hearing it for the first time it might sound weird, perhaps funny but after playing the quest and seeing the full performance you will appreciate it more, I had to punch a wall after seeing it to feel manly again cos that sht made me cry like a baby.
Wait, was her opera performance during the archon quest or the lantern rite event story? It would be so sad if newer players miss out on such a beautiful part of the game :(
If you select characters for your team I would recommend you not listen to any tier lists and just use characters you like, the game is much more enjoyable that way.
@@yoda5358 are they wrong though? it's a lot more fun if you don't listen to a ton of randoes telling you how whoever you have is bad or not optimal in their opinion lmao
a characters particles effects are pretty consistent with their element so you can tell at a glance cyro = light blue pyro = orange / red hydro = dark blue electro = purple geo = gold anemo = teal dendro = green
You can also try the Character Miscellany. They teach you how to use the characters. Would be helpful if you don't want to read their talents and wants someone to explain their basics and do examples.
Ya this is the best way to get a taste of the characters to see if you like how they play. Side note don't waste any primogems on the banner that had Qiqi Mona and all that on it. That is the banner you only use the blue orbs on when you happen to get them.
Zhongli and Raiden Shogun are very important chars (and are 5 stars) in the story so they put a lot of effort in the production. They are also people's fav so it's pretty understandable you like them so much (me too lol) My top 3 fav right now are Venti, Ganyu, and I guess the upcoming Collei 😆
Characters of even the same element have different specializations, so one character can be better for one thing and another for something else. It is also often beneficial to have more than one character of the same element in a team. There are some characters that are 'meta', but really any character is viable in the normal game world if invested in properly. Playing the characters one likes makes the game more fun at least in my opinion. That said, it is good to have archers of every element if possible. Sometimes one needs to apply elemental power to things in hard to reach places. My favorites? Kazuha, Zhongli, Raiden, Xiao, Diluc, Ayato and Ayaka. I also find the newest character Shikanoin Heizou a total blast to play. (There are no bow characters oin that list, because I am no good at playing them. I still like the characters.)
The Liiiiiiieah at the end of Yun Jin’s demo was referencing her character design for Chinese opera. A lot of western fans thought it sounded funny but it’s pretty standard in Chinese opera. A lot of the singing sounds like that. The image of the figure with the flags up at their back is also part of that which was also e corporates into her attack design !
If any of you are questioning why the heck Klee was in Albedo’s trailer, it is because Albedo is Klee’s adoptive brother! klee’s mother took Albedo under her wing, so Klee sees him as a big brother
honestly it doesn't matter who you use in genshin all characters have there pros and cons and even if a character has the same element as someone else it doesn't mean they play the same. just use who you like and enjoy its the best to to play the game :)
I see this comment in pretty much every video for new players. But it's said so much that people tend to push this advice so much that they push out genuine advice on helpful characters. I see a lot of new players struggle and want genuine advice, but the push against meta from some genshin players make giving advice difficult. Letting players know that they should probably build Bennett, Xiangling, and Xingqiu as a safety net for times you get stuck (and I've DEFINITELY seen new players get stuck) isn't the worst thing to say.
@@jairherrera6770 I mean early on building Xingling isn't particularly beneficial because without access to good ER artifacts she's a rather mediocre character, and this is assuming you even pull all three at all. I only got Bennett at AR 54 the other day using wishes from ascending Kazuha, and as an Ayaka main my Xingqiu is somewhat unloved ever since I stole most of his gear to give to Mona.
@@jairherrera6770 I think both you and the original commenter are not wrong. In the beginning, you would actually want to focus on only 4 characters but you gotta make sure that they're a solid team comp (mastering one reaction of your liking) and investing on them heavily so they can carry you on the suddenly jump of difficulty at AR40/45. As a veteran/end game player, it is when you actually play with whoever you like since its when you have the overall understanding of the mechanics of everything. As an example, I put 2 main DPS on a team, Kokomi, and just any random character for my overworld and events.
@@jikannomajo Well in the _beginning_ beginning a player is probably swapping more or less at random and mostly going with characters who have beefy auto-attacks, I think the best start is probably to point them towards doing the reaction tutorials at Temple of the Lion as soon as they unlock, then get them into focusing on the three Rs (role, reaction, resonance).
@@jikannomajo I mean I'm nearly AR 60 at this point and when you're at end game, truly it does not matter who you play with. But I think the community is so used to giving advice for HYPER investment that they're leaving out a key demographic: the people who actually need help, early to mid game players, very casual players, people who don't spend every day of their lives breathing in Genshin content and treating Genshin like a job. Because that really is the only way to get good artifacts on optimal builds aside from insane luck.
Raiden’s trailer still send chills till this day! Hope to see more crazy trailers in the future like her’s and Zhongli’s! Seeing new genshin players react to genshin characters are just so entertaining! Have fun with genshin and enjoy the stories and musics! 😁 This game has so many lores and stories that it can actually be made into an anime!
Fun fact: Hu Tao (the ghost girl) is the 77th director of Wangsheng Funeral parlor, and she is also the boss of Zhong Li (the badass geo dude with a deep voice).
@@nightcorelore5648 usually its propably me. My reasons for mentioning it are usually a combination of me being a Hu Tao simp and mentioning a fun fact about her in hopea of getting others interested in her. But mostly its me being a Hu Tao simp.
I love how the Zhongli trailer just marks the moment all 5* trailers were kicked up to a new level. Venti and Childe had good ones but in comparison to the ones Zhongli and after? ALSO I LOVE that you picked up on the Eula and Amber scene. They're officially good friends in the game but there definitely some past event dialogue and other things that could lean towards... as you put it, whatever's going on there. I don't believe in toxic shipping wars or anything. People can ship whoever they want but yes, Eula/Amber is a popular one from what I've seen. They're definitely a favorite of mine.
Klee's and Venti's were also pretty good depending on how masculine you wanted to consider yourself. The production was cranked up starting with theirs since all the trailers before had a different format and all the trailers after followed their format. Explanation below... Short intro story that transitions into the character showcase screen where the main music also drops. The previous trailers started with the character showcase screens and didn't drop the main music until a bit into the video. Zhongli's was just a better edited version of the new format that Klee and Venti already introduced.
Fun fact: Xinyan has a rural accent in all languages, not just English, so the accent is intrinsic to her character, however odd it may seem at first. Personally, I've never minded it. It's pretty endearing. Also, my personal favorite is Childe, both in terms of gameplay and personality. I've been maining him for over a year (since his second banner in April 2021), and still have yet to get tired of him. Perfect for large mobs, great when paired with crowd control characters such as Kazuha, and extremely fun to use.
Sara has wings because she is a Tengu. Tengu, is a type of mischievous supernatural being in Japanese folklore, sometimes considered the reincarnated spirit of one who was proud and arrogant in life. Tengu are renowned swordsmen and warriors.
Hi bandit Unfortunately most characters are five stars which usually are only available for a limited time where can try to get the character (venti, klee, zhongli for example) Whereas others like Mona, Keqing and Qiqi you have a chance to get them at any time :)
Well, not most, it's about fifty-fifty. There's 51 characters and _technically_ 26 are 5-star but that includes Aloy and Traveller who are 5-star in name only, so it's more like 24. 5 of those are Standard Banner, so only 19 are limited.
@@CruelestChris only 5 characters are standard 5 stars (6 if you count tighnari) the others are all limited and is only available in their own banners. The 50-50 you are talking about is whether or not you get the promoted 5 star character (limited) or a standard 5 star character.
@@Dioramos256 No I'm not, I'm talking about how many characters are four-stars versus five-stars. Hence me saying 26 out of 51. Do you think there are 51 limited 5-stars?
You can actually get Xiangling (the chef with fire element) for free if you clear Spiral Abyss floor 3, which is a challenge dungeon that can be found in the wind nation.
The main battle system of Genshin are elemental reactions, you will definitely get a lot of different gameplay from mixing different elements. Play whoever you want and you will definitely enjoy it 😁
4:13 She technically isn't a zomb.i She is a jiāngshī, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire, a type of reanimated corpse in Chinese legends and folklore. They most likely use zombi because of how many in the west dont know what a jiāngshī is.
It’s not exactly cuz people don’t know what it is, it’s more because she actually does fit more with the western depiction and perceptions of zombies. Which is as u said, reanimated corpses.
remember when wishing on banners, you can save up for your favorite character because the banners change every month/two months, so most people save up till they see a character they really want or think would like! (that's one of my regrets, wasting all of my free primos on random banners xD) (my other regret is rushing through the game super fast lol)
if you want, you can watch all Version Trailers for the game (they made top quality trailers for every patch/update of the game) AND Tevyat Chapter Storyline (a storyline trailer of the story of the game, dont worry, no heavy spoilers), these will help you get a standing of what the game and story is like
1:03:28 Just because a character has the same weapon and element of another doesn't mean they play remotely the same. In that particular example, Kuki is an electro healer, that can help Raiden Shogun's survival. Some characters are dps, others buffers, healers, shielders or reaction enablers. Characters of the same element regenerate energy faster for their burst (triangle) so it is recommended to have a dps and a support of the same element in the team. An example is Noelle, that can't generate any energy and needs what we call a battery, another geo character in the team that provides energy for her.
Xianling LOVE HER, Im at adventure rank 50 still use her, also you can get her without using a wish. A good general party will have a Pyro a Cryo and and Hydro character, the fourth either another pyro (for a 25% DMG buff) or a healer or a shield character. Some sort of archer also good idea.
@@Bandit_Jo Okay, I gonna let that pass XD also, want some tips?? start reading your characters skills descriptons(character screen then go to Talents), so you can avoid doing things like equiping a Def related sword on Kaeya whose skills dont need defense XD So, if a character dont ask for a specific stat, you give then Attack stats, works 90% of the time. Another detail, you noticed that the goblet artifacs many come with "elemental DMG bonus %"?? well, you try equip one of the same element as the character. And to not make longer this testament, Noelle main flaw is that she cant generate energy for her elemental burst, one of the ways to fix that by using the 4* claymore weapon called "Favonius Great Sword", will make playing with her more enjoyable, also she needs DEF for heals, shield and elemental burst.
yeah but sometimes it take time, i got her and c1 after more than a year, before that i was "collecting" all other standards and their constellations xd
36:20 I think Thoma’s point was that she shouldn’t have to «injure» people, as she herself said earlier, she would rather get them down with one strike so no pain or suffer is involved
Also in a friendly spar the point is not to injure your opponent, it is to control your strength and learn to parry. In an actual fight yes the goal is to injure or maim but not in a spar, unless the aim is first to draw blood
For team comps, there's a thing called elemental resonance. like 2 fire characters will increase your attack power, 2 water characters and you will heal more,etc. it might not be really useful in the beginning of the game but it'll be important later on in the game. And there are also elemental effects that happens when elements meet each other. like fire and electric will cause overload which will blast smaller mobs into the sky and make larger ones flinch. water and ice will cause them to be frozen for some time. geo with every(except wind) will create a crystal which will give a shield. etc. It's better to find out more while playing and experience it yourself. As for your question about Raiden, without spoiling anything, normally she uses a polearm but when her Ult is used, she uses the sword for a few seconds. YunJin is a Chinese Opera singer. chinese opera is different from western opera. ShenHe was not in the playlist though. P.S. although many players are nice and all, there are still some major toxic players out there. So try to ignore them if you happen to chance upon them. -AR59 Asia player from day 1-
Tartaglia is actually a bow user but he can switch to a pole arm and Dagger stance and is currently the only character in the game that uses multiple weapon types because of his skill he's also really overpowered if given the correct equipment
@@Cwronaga216 You could also count Itto who switches from a Claymore to a _different_ Claymore during his Burst, though I only bring that up because I think it's funny.
I've watched zhongli's demo a million times now But I JUST REALISED THAT THE WORDS REX LAPIS SAID BEFORE STARTING THE WAR WAS "this is an age of gods and monsters,I wish not for dominion yet I can not let the common folk syffery
Bluegreen vision/element: Anemo/Wind Gold vision/element: Geo/Rock Red vision/element: Pyro/Fire Purple vision/element: Electric/Electric Dark blue vision/element: Hydro/Water Light blue vision/element: Cryo/Ice Green vision/element: Dendro/Earth
Ganyu is not a demon. She is a half-qilin. Qilin is a legendary hooved chimerical creature that appears in Chinese mythology, and is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler. tho she has 2 horns like the Japanese version called Kirin.
Does Yun Jin's opera chant at the end of her trailer sound weird? No worries, I recommend also watching the Divine Damsel of Devastation hoping you'd appreciate more of her art and what real life heritage she represents :D
Love the reaction... weird that mihoyo still not including Shenhe's Character Demo on the list while Arataki Itto is now included (his demo is a little bit spoiler)
Happy to see you enjoyed the trailers! Don't feel pressured to overspend on the game because you don't need to do that to enjoy everything it has to offer. They will give enough primogems just through events and playing the game for a "free to play" player to get a 5 star character every 90 days (about 3 months on average). But you will get a lot of excellent 4 star characters to fill out your teams no problem. If you like the game consider getting the Welkin moon package for around 5 dollars US. Or the basic battle pass for another 10 dollars a month. It all depends on what you are comfortable with spending. Never give in to impulse spending due to fear of missing out because they will rerun the characters again and you can get them then. Anyway, good video!
To clarify some things about Yae: The staff she is using is called a Gohei which is a staff shrine maidens use in Japan for all kind of rituals. She is the only (I think?) Character who always uses this staff no matter which weapon u have equipped. She uses tome-types and the weapon equipped just floats around next to her. What you saw wasnt her hair, it were her ears. She is a Kitsune, a fox-like demon from japanese myths. Another fun fact: The amount of tails a kitsune has stands for its age and power. Yae has 5 tails which means she is around 500-599 years old and quite powerful. Kitsunes are known for their playful and seductive behaviour, which they nailed with yaes personality
its so wild to hear some one ask if kazuha/ayaka is better than traveler/kaeya 😭 (yes) also! if two characters share the same element/ weapon they often have very very different roles
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp Yeah, I had doubts about your decision-making abilities when you were defending Amber in that other thread. Sure, two of the best Cryo DPS in the game and you play the fake pirate with the discount Ice Car.
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp No, I just understand what numbers are. You cannot build these characters to be better than the data they're made from and while you're trashing thousands of resin trying I can be getting the same results with a bunch of shit that I found in the dumpster behind the Domain. But please, for the peanut gallery's interest, explain what exactly your Kaeya does that matches my C4 Ayaka's 6,000% Burst with 30% DEF shred. While you're at it, please explain how you overcome having less than two-thirds of Ayaka's base ATK, her passive 18% Cryo and 30% normal attack bonuses, and her innate Crit Damage buff. Testing has determined that at equal levels of investment, Kaeya does about half Ayaka's combo DPS, and none of his added energy recharge gets even close to making up for the disparity in raw damage output between their Bursts, and that's without taking Ayaka's AoEs or the fact that her charged attack doesn't knock enemies away into account. In addition, the Kaeya permafreeze team typically locks down two slots (Chongyun to infuse Kaeya's normals) for something Ayaka can do by herself, so she also has the _incredibly_ powerful effect of freeing up a slot for a second utility character. There is simply no way to build a Kaeya who can outdo Ayaka unless you're for some reason trying to run them as pure physical DPS. In which case, as a Cryo physical DPS, Kaeya gets pitted against _Eula_ instead. Guess how well that goes for him? Melt Kaeya can't compete any better with Ganyu's melt comp given her Q is gigantic, does ridiculous damage and has a potential 100% uptime. And it's harder to get his cons than it is for a 5-star since they're exclusive to the standard banner and the Stargillter store. But I'm sure you knowing "how to build characters" can overcome these fundamental facts of the game mechanics, right?
Kazuha is one of the best characters in the game and so fun to play! and his banner is up now. Zhongli and Raiden's demos get me every time, everything from the choreography to the music is so amazing
Rosaria is a 4 star who should be a five star. I have her on my account. I use her with Xinqiu, a hydro character. It keeps the npcs frozen and minimizes the damage you take. Also, if you stack energy recharge on Xingqiu, he's like a battery for your team even when he's off field.
No teaser but you are right about writing down Zhongli and Raiden Shogun. Lorewise they are two of the most powerful beings in the game and gameplaywise they are also super dope. Also two of the top 4 most used characters in the Spiral Abyss which is kinda the endgame battle tower somethin. The other two is Bennet and Kaedehara Kazuha.
Oh man, one of the most refreshing reactions I've seen. It's always great to see someone new who looks genuinely interested in how the characters look and play. Just a heads up though, you may need a bit of patience specially when waiting for the characters you want to be available, as a good number of them are limited characters (for example, kazuha was available last year and he only appeared this july for his rerun. I recommend pulling for Kazuha by the way, he will be a wonderful addition for your team, very fun and useful). Have fun exploring and getting to know more of the lore! 😁
fading ur channel make me feel like a child. its been 2 years since i was like up. its like when our parent introduce use to star wars or Mj. and we love it
Tips : You might want to balance out your team in your list, you know you can't play all the damage dealers at once in your team, so you need off field damage dealer, support, shielder, and healer. balanced team gets more important later on
i don't know if anyone has told you, but kamisato ayato (the water sword guy) is actually kamisato ayaka (the cool ice sword girl)'s brother. the two of them are siblings, so ayato was referring to ayaka when he said "my sister"
You may react to " Shenhe character demo " and " Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo " as well. The second one introduces characters that will be added to game in the next few years.
Ahh nice man, for someone new to the game you caught some funny details that not everyone catches, for example Yelan using the other guy as a shield from the arrow. I love your videos and I hope you will continue the game, but trust me, keep playing with chill and just play who you like how you like, when you like. Advices on the game are good, but it's more fun and effective to learn on your own so I hope that you'll never feel obligated or pressured by other players' opinions and comments about your gameplay. 💪
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HIS FACE WHEN THE GUY GETS TORTURED IN YAE MIKO'S TRAILER like yeah just gonna pretend I didn't see or hear anything, not my business...
rewatched this again, since this was basically the first vid i watched from u! i suggest make another reaction vid for the recent character demos, would really like to see that!
Qiqi's a jiangshi, to be more precise: a blood-drinking reanimated corpse in Chinese folklore... so something between a zombie and vampire. Localization issue. Tartaglia uses bows but he has a rare mechanic: weapon mode switch (hydro bladed staff/dual daggers) Btw, you're gonna need more than 1 team and characters take on different roles based on their skills. For example, Zhongli is primarily a tank and Raiden Shogun is support while Yae Miko is a damage-dealer.
Which Genshin Impact character is your favorite?? Mine has GOT to be a tie between Zhongli and Raiden Shogun so far 🤩
Those are the most popular trailers of all time. That is completely fair. I personally don't have any 5 star that has a trailer except for Keqing and Yelan.
My favorite character on the other hand is Albedo. I really just want to add him to my team.
Kazuha and Venti!

a characters particles effects are pretty consistent with their element so you can tell at a glance

pyro = orange / red
hydro = dark blue
electro = purple
geo = gold
anemo = teal
dendro = green
well, only if you don't watch away to note something and come back to see Sayu rolling on water
You can also try the Character Miscellany. They teach you how to use the characters. Would be helpful if you don't want to read their talents and wants someone to explain their basics and do examples.
Also the character teasers, they’re shorter than demos and miscellanys but show some personality and/or background for them
Ya this is the best way to get a taste of the characters to see if you like how they play. Side note don't waste any primogems on the banner that had Qiqi Mona and all that on it. That is the banner you only use the blue orbs on when you happen to get them.

I have both on the team. Leveled up and all. So it's now usually like shield-electro buff-stone-finish with Raiden XD
You forgot one character, Shenhe. Her demo is not in this playlist for some reason but you can look it up yourself.

Characters of even the same element have different specializations, so one character can be better for one thing and another for something else. It is also often beneficial to have more than one character of the same element in a team. There are some characters that are 'meta', but really any character is viable in the normal game world if invested in properly.
Playing the characters one likes makes the game more fun at least in my opinion. That said, it is good to have archers of every element if possible. Sometimes one needs to apply elemental power to things in hard to reach places.
My favorites? Kazuha, Zhongli, Raiden, Xiao, Diluc, Ayato and Ayaka. I also find the newest character Shikanoin Heizou a total blast to play. (There are no bow characters oin that list, because I am no good at playing them. I still like the characters.)

honestly it doesn't matter who you use in genshin all characters have there pros and cons and even if a character has the same element as someone else it doesn't mean they play the same. just use who you like and enjoy its the best to to play the game :)
I see this comment in pretty much every video for new players. But it's said so much that people tend to push this advice so much that they push out genuine advice on helpful characters. I see a lot of new players struggle and want genuine advice, but the push against meta from some genshin players make giving advice difficult. Letting players know that they should probably build Bennett, Xiangling, and Xingqiu as a safety net for times you get stuck (and I've DEFINITELY seen new players get stuck) isn't the worst thing to say.

I mean early on building Xingling isn't particularly beneficial because without access to good ER artifacts she's a rather mediocre character, and this is assuming you even pull all three at all. I only got Bennett at AR 54 the other day using wishes from ascending Kazuha, and as an Ayaka main my Xingqiu is somewhat unloved ever since I stole most of his gear to give to Mona.
@@jairherrera6770 I think both you and the original commenter are not wrong. In the beginning, you would actually want to focus on only 4 characters but you gotta make sure that they're a solid team comp (mastering one reaction of your liking) and investing on them heavily so they can carry you on the suddenly jump of difficulty at AR40/45. As a veteran/end game player, it is when you actually play with whoever you like since its when you have the overall understanding of the mechanics of everything. As an example, I put 2 main DPS on a team, Kokomi, and just any random character for my overworld and events.
@@jikannomajo
Well in the _beginning_ beginning a player is probably swapping more or less at random and mostly going with characters who have beefy auto-attacks, I think the best start is probably to point them towards doing the reaction tutorials at Temple of the Lion as soon as they unlock, then get them into focusing on the three Rs (role, reaction, resonance).
@@jikannomajo I mean I'm nearly AR 60 at this point and when you're at end game, truly it does not matter who you play with. But I think the community is so used to giving advice for HYPER investment that they're leaving out a key demographic: the people who actually need help, early to mid game players, very casual players, people who don't spend every day of their lives breathing in Genshin content and treating Genshin like a job. Because that really is the only way to get good artifacts on optimal builds aside from insane luck.
Raiden’s trailer still send chills till this day!
Hope to see more crazy trailers in the future like her’s and Zhongli’s!
Seeing new genshin players react to genshin characters are just so entertaining!
Have fun with genshin and enjoy the stories and musics! 😁
This game has so many lores and stories that it can actually be made into an anime!
i hope the dendro archon's trailer is as good as theirs
@@ngsrkive Yepp looking forward to what hoyoV has in store for us 😁
well we got wanderer now. waiting on alhaitham's demo :D
Fun fact: Hu Tao (the ghost girl) is the 77th director of Wangsheng Funeral parlor, and she is also the boss of Zhong Li (the badass geo dude with a deep voice).
This comment comes up every reaction video, is it always you? That fact is interesting but there are better/worse things to spoil 😂
@@nightcorelore5648 usually its propably me. My reasons for mentioning it are usually a combination of me being a Hu Tao simp and mentioning a fun fact about her in hopea of getting others interested in her.
But mostly its me being a Hu Tao simp.
@@1lluusio ok well very much same then… she didn’t give me a choice tho getting her 3 times within 20 wishes … next time c6 f2p maybe 💪🏻
Kazuha demo, "I gonna scrutinize to make sure he's better than the main traveler"
dude, he's literally the best character in the whole game
I love how the Zhongli trailer just marks the moment all 5* trailers were kicked up to a new level. Venti and Childe had good ones but in comparison to the ones Zhongli and after? ALSO I LOVE that you picked up on the Eula and Amber scene. They're officially good friends in the game but there definitely some past event dialogue and other things that could lean towards... as you put it, whatever's going on there. I don't believe in toxic shipping wars or anything. People can ship whoever they want but yes, Eula/Amber is a popular one from what I've seen. They're definitely a favorite of mine.
Klee's and Venti's were also pretty good depending on how masculine you wanted to consider yourself. The production was cranked up starting with theirs since all the trailers before had a different format and all the trailers after followed their format. Explanation below...
Short intro story that transitions into the character showcase screen where the main music also drops. The previous trailers started with the character showcase screens and didn't drop the main music until a bit into the video. Zhongli's was just a better edited version of the new format that Klee and Venti already introduced.
@@geraldhenry5739 true. I do love Klee's a lot
Fun fact: Xinyan has a rural accent in all languages, not just English, so the accent is intrinsic to her character, however odd it may seem at first.
Personally, I've never minded it. It's pretty endearing.
Also, my personal favorite is Childe, both in terms of gameplay and personality. I've been maining him for over a year (since his second banner in April 2021), and still have yet to get tired of him. Perfect for large mobs, great when paired with crowd control characters such as Kazuha, and extremely fun to use.
Sara has wings because she is a Tengu. Tengu, is a type of mischievous supernatural being in Japanese folklore, sometimes considered the reincarnated spirit of one who was proud and arrogant in life. Tengu are renowned swordsmen and warriors.
heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~
(translation: fall deeper into the genshin hole with us all~)
My dude really took his eyes off the videos on the best parts of both riden shogun and zhongli videos
Klee wasn’t in school! She was in solitary confinement for arson :)
Gawd I swear, no matter how old Zhongli's theme is, it still gives me goosebumps
Hi bandit
Unfortunately most characters are five stars which usually are only available for a limited time where can try to get the character (venti, klee, zhongli for example)
Whereas others like Mona, Keqing and Qiqi you have a chance to get them at any time :)
Well, not most, it's about fifty-fifty. There's 51 characters and _technically_ 26 are 5-star but that includes Aloy and Traveller who are 5-star in name only, so it's more like 24. 5 of those are Standard Banner, so only 19 are limited.
@@CruelestChris only 5 characters are standard 5 stars (6 if you count tighnari) the others are all limited and is only available in their own banners. The 50-50 you are talking about is whether or not you get the promoted 5 star character (limited) or a standard 5 star character.
@@Dioramos256
No I'm not, I'm talking about how many characters are four-stars versus five-stars. Hence me saying 26 out of 51. Do you think there are 51 limited 5-stars?
Literally NOTHING tops Zhongli’s demo. They’ve popped off since then, sure, but Zhongli’s just can’t be beat
the shogun trailer is better and that's coming from a bigdonglongzhong fan
I agree. Zhongli demo is top tier and more clean than with Raiden which is messy at times (too much going on)
Shogun’s is definitely way better in my opinion. 😭🙏🏾
Zhongli's demo is the Dragon Ball Z of Genshin, it's second to none.
*Hu Tao’s is better in my opinion*
You can actually get Xiangling (the chef with fire element) for free if you clear Spiral Abyss floor 3, which is a challenge dungeon that can be found in the wind nation.
The main battle system of Genshin are elemental reactions, you will definitely get a lot of different gameplay from mixing different elements. Play whoever you want and you will definitely enjoy it 😁
4:13 She technically isn't a zomb.i She is a jiāngshī, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire, a type of reanimated corpse in Chinese legends and folklore. They most likely use zombi because of how many in the west dont know what a jiāngshī is.
It’s not exactly cuz people don’t know what it is, it’s more because she actually does fit more with the western depiction and perceptions of zombies. Which is as u said, reanimated corpses.
@@DR_REDACTED my point being obviously western people don’t know what tf a jiāngshī is. So they obviously call it the English equivalent.
Aw darn, he looked away while Zhongli was dropping a Meteor on them
remember when wishing on banners, you can save up for your favorite character because the banners change every month/two months, so most people save up till they see a character they really want or think would like!
(that's one of my regrets, wasting all of my free primos on random banners xD)
(my other regret is rushing through the game super fast lol)
the fact that u looked away at some nice parts made me scream DONT LOOK AWAY >.< i hope you rewatched after lol
if you want, you can watch all Version Trailers for the game (they made top quality trailers for every patch/update of the game) AND Tevyat Chapter Storyline (a storyline trailer of the story of the game, dont worry, no heavy spoilers), these will help you get a standing of what the game and story is like
1:03:28 Just because a character has the same weapon and element of another doesn't mean they play remotely the same.
In that particular example, Kuki is an electro healer, that can help Raiden Shogun's survival.
Some characters are dps, others buffers, healers, shielders or reaction enablers.
Characters of the same element regenerate energy faster for their burst (triangle) so it is recommended to have a dps and a support of the same element in the team.
An example is Noelle, that can't generate any energy and needs what we call a battery, another geo character in the team that provides energy for her.
53:06 She a traditional Chinese opera singer. And that is what it sounds like.
33:58 he is literally the strongest support in the entire game
oh yeah zhongli stole everyone's heart with that performance
Personally my favorites are Kazuha(he can gather the enemy drops closer to you) and Heizou because his play style is so different yet amazing 😁
Xianling LOVE HER, Im at adventure rank 50 still use her, also you can get her without using a wish.
A good general party will have a Pyro a Cryo and and Hydro character, the fourth either another pyro (for a 25% DMG buff) or a healer or a shield character. Some sort of archer also good idea.
I prefer catalyst to archer for long range. But my main team right now is ChongYun, Ayato, Yanfei, and Zhongli.
53:11 that is Chinese opera so keep in mind to be respectful they actually got an actual Chinese opera singer to voice her so that’s cool
Kaeyas really said 🏃♂️🏊♂️🧗♂️🧚♂️
16:53 another one to the list of ppl that is not watching the meteorite coz looking somewhere else XD
I was trying to spell his naaaaame
@@Bandit_Jo Okay, I gonna let that pass XD
also, want some tips?? start reading your characters skills descriptons(character screen then go to Talents), so you can avoid doing things like equiping a Def related sword on Kaeya whose skills dont need defense XD
So, if a character dont ask for a specific stat, you give then Attack stats, works 90% of the time.
Another detail, you noticed that the goblet artifacs many come with "elemental DMG bonus %"?? well, you try equip one of the same element as the character.
And to not make longer this testament, Noelle main flaw is that she cant generate energy for her elemental burst, one of the ways to fix that by using the 4* claymore weapon called "Favonius Great Sword", will make playing with her more enjoyable, also she needs DEF for heals, shield and elemental burst.
You say you don’t want qiqi. But you will get qiqi. It’s out of your control, it’s inevitable 🤣
yeah but sometimes it take time, i got her and c1 after more than a year, before that i was "collecting" all other standards and their constellations xd
@@avatarxs9377 but at the end of the day
You did get her 🤣🤣
36:20 I think Thoma’s point was that she shouldn’t have to «injure» people, as she herself said earlier, she would rather get them down with one strike so no pain or suffer is involved
Also in a friendly spar the point is not to injure your opponent, it is to control your strength and learn to parry. In an actual fight yes the goal is to injure or maim but not in a spar, unless the aim is first to draw blood
Wow he really loves talking over the dialogue....
For team comps, there's a thing called elemental resonance. like 2 fire characters will increase your attack power, 2 water characters and you will heal more,etc. it might not be really useful in the beginning of the game but it'll be important later on in the game.
And there are also elemental effects that happens when elements meet each other. like fire and electric will cause overload which will blast smaller mobs into the sky and make larger ones flinch. water and ice will cause them to be frozen for some time. geo with every(except wind) will create a crystal which will give a shield. etc.
It's better to find out more while playing and experience it yourself.
As for your question about Raiden, without spoiling anything, normally she uses a polearm but when her Ult is used, she uses the sword for a few seconds.
YunJin is a Chinese Opera singer. chinese opera is different from western opera.
ShenHe was not in the playlist though.
P.S. although many players are nice and all, there are still some major toxic players out there. So try to ignore them if you happen to chance upon them.
-AR59 Asia player from day 1-
"SUCH POISE"
same dude SAME
Raiden's main weapon is a polearm the sword is her ultimate aka elemental burst.
Your reaction to Zhongli is a pleasure to watch. Ar58 here and I felt nostalgia because I was like that too. (Well I still do. 😅)
Tartaglia is actually a bow user but he can switch to a pole arm and Dagger stance and is currently the only character in the game that uses multiple weapon types because of his skill he's also really overpowered if given the correct equipment
Actually no, it's him and Shogun who switches from polearm to sword during her Burst.
@@CruelestChris sorry I forgot about her burst
@@Cwronaga216
You could also count Itto who switches from a Claymore to a _different_ Claymore during his Burst, though I only bring that up because I think it's funny.
@@CruelestChris it uses the exact same moveset though just faster
I've watched zhongli's demo a million times now
But
I JUST REALISED THAT THE WORDS REX LAPIS SAID BEFORE STARTING THE WAR WAS "this is an age of gods and monsters,I wish not for dominion yet I can not let the common folk syffery
Yaaaayyyyy, please do more genshin in the future!!!☺😊😊

I absolutely LOVED watching the character introduction trailers. They are all so amazing, blown away by how stunning all the characters are!
Ganyu is not a demon. She is a half-qilin. Qilin is a legendary hooved chimerical creature that appears in Chinese mythology, and is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler. tho she has 2 horns like the Japanese version called Kirin.
I think you forgot the character trailer of Shenhe.
Does Yun Jin's opera chant at the end of her trailer sound weird? No worries, I recommend also watching the Divine Damsel of Devastation hoping you'd appreciate more of her art and what real life heritage she represents :D
NO DONT DO THIS wait till you do the quest its in the game
Love the reaction... weird that mihoyo still not including Shenhe's Character Demo on the list while Arataki Itto is now included (his demo is a little bit spoiler)
i love your videos and energy man !😍please make more genshin videos and u just got yourself a new subscriber!😁
Happy to see you enjoyed the trailers!
Don't feel pressured to overspend on the game because you don't need to do that to enjoy everything it has to offer. They will give enough primogems just through events and playing the game for a "free to play" player to get a 5 star character every 90 days (about 3 months on average). But you will get a lot of excellent 4 star characters to fill out your teams no problem. If you like the game consider getting the Welkin moon package for around 5 dollars US. Or the basic battle pass for another 10 dollars a month. It all depends on what you are comfortable with spending. Never give in to impulse spending due to fear of missing out because they will rerun the characters again and you can get them then.
Anyway, good video!
Well, we’re all here because we want to see people react to our favorite demos.
When you meet raiden in the story she is even more clinically insane😻
I would recommend checking out a character teaser playlist, many characters have both demos and teasers and teasers can be awesome too
I think you missed 'Shenhe character demo'
To clarify some things about Yae:
The staff she is using is called a Gohei which is a staff shrine maidens use in Japan for all kind of rituals. She is the only (I think?) Character who always uses this staff no matter which weapon u have equipped. She uses tome-types and the weapon equipped just floats around next to her.
What you saw wasnt her hair, it were her ears. She is a Kitsune, a fox-like demon from japanese myths. Another fun fact: The amount of tails a kitsune has stands for its age and power. Yae has 5 tails which means she is around 500-599 years old and quite powerful. Kitsunes are known for their playful and seductive behaviour, which they nailed with yaes personality
its so wild to hear some one ask if kazuha/ayaka is better than traveler/kaeya 😭
(yes)
also! if two characters share the same element/ weapon they often have very very different roles
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp
Lies and slander
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp
Yeah, I had doubts about your decision-making abilities when you were defending Amber in that other thread. Sure, two of the best Cryo DPS in the game and you play the fake pirate with the discount Ice Car.
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp
No, I just understand what numbers are. You cannot build these characters to be better than the data they're made from and while you're trashing thousands of resin trying I can be getting the same results with a bunch of shit that I found in the dumpster behind the Domain.
But please, for the peanut gallery's interest, explain what exactly your Kaeya does that matches my C4 Ayaka's 6,000% Burst with 30% DEF shred. While you're at it, please explain how you overcome having less than two-thirds of Ayaka's base ATK, her passive 18% Cryo and 30% normal attack bonuses, and her innate Crit Damage buff.
Testing has determined that at equal levels of investment, Kaeya does about half Ayaka's combo DPS, and none of his added energy recharge gets even close to making up for the disparity in raw damage output between their Bursts, and that's without taking Ayaka's AoEs or the fact that her charged attack doesn't knock enemies away into account. In addition, the Kaeya permafreeze team typically locks down two slots (Chongyun to infuse Kaeya's normals) for something Ayaka can do by herself, so she also has the _incredibly_ powerful effect of freeing up a slot for a second utility character.
There is simply no way to build a Kaeya who can outdo Ayaka unless you're for some reason trying to run them as pure physical DPS. In which case, as a Cryo physical DPS, Kaeya gets pitted against _Eula_ instead. Guess how well that goes for him? Melt Kaeya can't compete any better with Ganyu's melt comp given her Q is gigantic, does ridiculous damage and has a potential 100% uptime. And it's harder to get his cons than it is for a 5-star since they're exclusive to the standard banner and the Stargillter store.
But I'm sure you knowing "how to build characters" can overcome these fundamental facts of the game mechanics, right?
@@CruelestChris it's not that serious 😑
@@popbun971
I'm sorry, did I accidentally request a completely pointless statement?
Kazuha is one of the best characters in the game and so fun to play! and his banner is up now. Zhongli and Raiden's demos get me every time, everything from the choreography to the music is so amazing
Rosaria is a 4 star who should be a five star. I have her on my account. I use her with Xinqiu, a hydro character. It keeps the npcs frozen and minimizes the damage you take. Also, if you stack energy recharge on Xingqiu, he's like a battery for your team even when he's off field.
No teaser but you are right about writing down Zhongli and Raiden Shogun. Lorewise they are two of the most powerful beings in the game and gameplaywise they are also super dope. Also two of the top 4 most used characters in the Spiral Abyss which is kinda the endgame battle tower somethin. The other two is Bennet and Kaedehara Kazuha.
Oh man, one of the most refreshing reactions I've seen. It's always great to see someone new who looks genuinely interested in how the characters look and play. Just a heads up though, you may need a bit of patience specially when waiting for the characters you want to be available, as a good number of them are limited characters (for example, kazuha was available last year and he only appeared this july for his rerun. I recommend pulling for Kazuha by the way, he will be a wonderful addition for your team, very fun and useful). Have fun exploring and getting to know more of the lore! 😁
I really love Yun Jins voice I wish she could narrate more things lol
fading ur channel make me feel like a child. its been 2 years since i was like up. its like when our parent introduce use to star wars or Mj. and we love it
Tips : You might want to balance out your team in your list, you know you can't play all the damage dealers at once in your team, so you need off field damage dealer, support, shielder, and healer. balanced team gets more important later on
man zhongli's trailer is just toooo goood, the best i could say... no one can beat it.. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
26:07 That's an exact prediction for someone who hasn't played the game XD
i don't know if anyone has told you, but kamisato ayato (the water sword guy) is actually kamisato ayaka (the cool ice sword girl)'s brother. the two of them are siblings, so ayato was referring to ayaka when he said "my sister"
idc how many cool characters comes in the future
no one will be as cool as zhongli and raiden shogun
You may react to " Shenhe character demo " and " Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo " as well. The second one introduces characters that will be added to game in the next few years.
Ahh nice man, for someone new to the game you caught some funny details that not everyone catches, for example Yelan using the other guy as a shield from the arrow. I love your videos and I hope you will continue the game, but trust me, keep playing with chill and just play who you like how you like, when you like. Advices on the game are good, but it's more fun and effective to learn on your own so I hope that you'll never feel obligated or pressured by other players' opinions and comments about your gameplay. 💪
I'm sorry but I just laughed my head off when he thought klee actually went to school 🤣
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HIS FACE WHEN THE GUY GETS TORTURED IN YAE MIKO'S TRAILER
like yeah just gonna pretend I didn't see or hear anything, not my business...
visions are the symbols of elements hanging around their body, it symbolizes their element and power haha
“Or just open up my savings account” - that got me screaming lol.
You are literally the funniest gaming dude Ive watched so far and ive watched a loooooot. Keep making videos!!!
No words can explain my dissatisfaction when he looked away the moment Zhongli did his burst
fun fact: venti could just give the other archons an anemo vision
bandit try out the 5 stars next time you play by going to events tab in the menu, right now you can try out klee and kazuha
rewatched this again, since this was basically the first vid i watched from u! i suggest make another reaction vid for the recent character demos, would really like to see that!
Qiqi's a jiangshi, to be more precise: a blood-drinking reanimated corpse in Chinese folklore... so something between a zombie and vampire. Localization issue. Tartaglia uses bows but he has a rare mechanic: weapon mode switch (hydro bladed staff/dual daggers) Btw, you're gonna need more than 1 team and characters take on different roles based on their skills. For example, Zhongli is primarily a tank and Raiden Shogun is support while Yae Miko is a damage-dealer.
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp thanks for the heads up. I dunno how kaeya got in there.
Dude I used to watch your Zelda content and have recently gotten into genshin over the past year. I’m glad to see that you play it now!
Fun reaction to watch! But man you always happen to look away at the coolest moments in every trailer to write stuff down lmao 😅
You need multiple chars from the same element in a lot of cases/teams so no need to replace, just collect :)
You forgot shenhes demo
The Playlist for some reason doesn't have shenhes demo there it's probably because it has a bit of a spoiler at the end
Raiden Shogun demo is my favorite, it's just... transcendent ;3;
Bandit is a man of culture. He seen Amber and Eula, and knew they had secret kisses behind the Knights of Favonious HQ.
