I think the Swords Only series started in 2.4 when the Genshin Impact Twitter commented "Polearms only" after the reveal of Yun Jin and Shenhe, I even remember the name of the first episode, something along the lines of "Mihoyo says Polearms only, I say otherwise..." Edit: Turns out I'm wrong, but it was quite a coincidence haha
@@thetruemessenger I remember Mtached did a account where he uses characters you don’t see that often so JavaTheCup changed the idea a bit to weapon only then he did swords.
"Are you real?" "No, no I'm not... (Dramatic pause) How does that make you feel?" B e t r a y e d (Oh, and thank you for answering my question, your response was highly entertaining. I love sarcasm and passive aggression, so thank you for the laughs)
Oh btw, electro damage on raiden isn’t bad, it’s actually better than attack in most cases. But the difference between the two is not worth worrying too much about
Kiiinda, it depends on other substats, main stats, and team comp. If he's running ER on his sands, and he doesn't have an atk buffer (like in the current team), it's gonna be a lot better. The base damage scales off of her atk, so having a good atk stat makes her base damage better.
It also depends on your weapon. Engulfing Lightning gives enough attack to make electro damage the best option, but say Catch with no Bennett and ER sands may make it so an atk goblet (with comparable substats) is better than an electro goblet
well, as a Raiden Shogun simp and main I must say that it really depends on a lot of things. If you have Engulfing Lightning you get a lot of ATK, and energy recharge from passive, however if you’re using different weapons such as The Catch, you should focus on ATK%, rather than Electro DMG Bo us, and try to balance the energy recharge, so that you get as much electro dmg bonus from passive as you want.
@@Crydia I've seen someone use anemo traveler to unlock a anemo momument domain and boy I was annoyed so yes no one I've also seen is as dedicated as java
here are the questions lol 1:22 What’s your favourite and/or your least favourite time of day? 1:42 Was making content on RUclips/twitch something you’ve always wanted to do for a living? 2:12 Are you planning to do another “this weapon only” series?

Man, revisiting these old videos feels so nostalgic, i've been watching java since the very START of swords only, and seeing how much his channel has grown makes me feel old. just, the jump from 50k to 360k is insane.
Heres my question: if you were a vision holder in the vision hunt decree in inszuma what would be your plan, also if your father was a vision holder and the shogun took it away would you ever be able to forgive her for taking away a fundamental peice of your father changing who he was and anything you liked or admired about him?
For interior, I do like modern / contemporary. Exterior is a bit of a toss up honestly. I like a wide variety of styles, but not all of any single type (hope that makes sense)
I think, as far as "weapon only" series goes, it's already been done. You have two. There's a bow only, a claymore only, no doubt a pole-arm only by now as well. But if you did want to do one, might I suggest a "Weapon only" series, by which I mean the only featured banner that gets wished on is the weapon banner, and all primos go there. So basically, you'll be limited to four stars and the perma-banner five stars as far as characters go.
congrats on the 150k (i just realized now, i've been on holiday for a while and didn't really watch youtube) you definitely deserved it. you and rednasyo are my favorite content creators. i always find your video ideas very creative and fun, keep it up!
30:34 New lore Dropped, Java has a co-worker named Mocha who is also his GF but Mocha was transported to Aida (the place in Tower of Fantasy) through some unknown means and was featured in the ToF vids. (also some slight headcanoning here)
I think for region it’s a bit more than looks or characters, because you’re LIVING there. Like, if you lived in Inazuma you would be Locked in and the war and the vision hunt decree, until the traveler reaches you. You mostly have to be business invested for Liyue, and going to Mondstat you have to like the freestyle life.
yea i mean they didn’t clarify pre- or post-archon quests cause inazuma after the archon quests and shogun quests seems pretty nice ngl. i’d still prefer liyue cause i like yellow but inazuma after the decrees are lifted seems really cool
@@louloudaki_ I think it’s birth to death and assuming around the time Traveler arrives so I think he’d have to put up with like 20 years of that stuff but that makes sense lol
Just wanted to say that your 'only' playthroughs make me really wanna make cool things. I'm still figuring out what those things are going to be exactly, but still. Makes me really wanna do things that are more than just playing as is in games.
Lighting starts from the ground and goes through the sky and yes thats how lighting works its a very common mistake that people make that lighting starts from the sky but it indeed does start from the ground, shoots upwards and the thunder sound comes from when the lighting peirces the clouds.
28:15 Finally you achieved your wish.. Meanwhile me who is watching this video exactly because you're out in Japan and I don't have nearly enough content to watch..
I saw one of the comments said they were from The Xade era lol. I was there too. I loved the changing elements videos and coop of the Fierce owl video lol
Randomly decided to run single pulls for Kazuha after you said no (/sarcasm) to pulling for him on swords only. Having lost the 50/50 at max pity for a c1 Jean on 1st day of the banner I wasn't hopeful but at 24 minutes into this video (paused at 24:05 as I type) I got a suprise 5 star at 24 pity. Kinda freaked out now, ngl
the fact that I really liked all the videos that didn't do that well. Honestly you could post anything and I would love it. I watched a little before swords only was uploaded but subscribed when I saw you suffer doing the archery challenge on swords only because I felt so bad for not doing it earlier- Love your work Java! Also Java got maidens lmao
Hey Java...i remember you used to make these shorts with a 1v1 characters and idk how interested you are in the lore part of genshin impact but do you think you could maybe make some content including lores? I don't mean making your own theories more like if you haven't gone through the existing lore or manga yet, maybe it could be like a reaction video of you getting to know new stuff! Oh and please stream the 2.8 event if possible! Lots of story and references in it! Thanks! And congrats on 150k+ subs :)
The first ever genshin video I watched is your co op videos! It was back when I was ar 15 and have no idea what co op is, so I really was fascinated by your shenanigans
I’m sorry that you aren’t having fun playing Genshin. I just want you to know that if you started playing a different game I am in support. It won’t be as fun watching a video if I know you aren’t enjoying it. So I hope you can find a game that you enjoy playing
well to be fair there was a double the rewards event at the time so using 20 resin would drop a condensed resin worth of stuff. but still, an insane drop that i will never get
Maybe your safest choice to stream/record others games without losing your current audience would be to play the other Hoyoverse games like Honkai Impact since they’re kind of related and they’re different games at the same time, and almost every genshin player knows the existence of Honkai. I myself am curious about that game but I haven’t played yet so I would definitely watch your videos about these other Hoyoverse games. I hope you consider this option to relieve your genshin burn out :)
loved the video Java happy to be a part of your community. your videos are always amazing and i hope to see whatever ideas you come up with next, but please take care of your health and get some real rest. we need our AI fully charged so hes happy 😊

Unrelated but but have 216 er with an atk sands. Should I get an er sands or keep my current build
