Are you having an issue seeing the videos? They're hosted on streamable and shared by the source itself so there shouldn't be any issues. I can't give an alternative to the Twitter link though because that's the direct source for the leak:(.

Oh for sure, barring Freminet cause his atk animations look kinda basic too imo. I'm loving Lyney and Lynette though.

For traveller, they're reusing animations. The elemental skill animation is the same as when using the wildlife catcher I believe, but tbf it's just them holding their hand out

It's, I mean, it's +60% DMG bonus for her elemental skill. That's akin to an elemental artifact 2p + elemental DMG goblet. If you run Stringless that's 60%+48%+46.6% for a total of 154.6% dmg bonus on her elemental skill. I wonder at what point it would be better to simply run an EM/ATK goblet/sands on her instead of an elemental DMG bonus goblet with this 4p.

If you run EM/Atk sands/goblet with Stringless, she will have a minimum of 108% DMG bonus and 352 em with no sacrifice on the atk department. Sand and goblet main stat would be interchangable too so it would be easier to build for.

In a double Dendro comp, her em also has the possibility to go up to 452. I wonder if this would beat 4p electro set for quicken teams.

It makes sense, although I do hope they give us a selector with all 5 stars in Standard now. I've wanted Diluc ever since I started playing in 1.2 but I've yet to get him:( I've got all the originals with multiple constellations each and even recently got Tighnari and Dehya. It doesn't feel very fair :'(

I think you are mistaking my initial disdain with his decision to explore witchcraft. It isn't about believing in science, I don't think I mention science once in my post but I see how it can be mistaken since I mention I come from an academic background. I have no qualms with practicing witchcraft and actually would like to participate myself, all knowing that it is just for leisure and entertainment, and it isn't harmful. Similar to how playing a Ouija board might be. Others may believe there are actual beings controlling the position of the planchette, but we know that isn't true.

My initial issue was him using this newfound interest to fall into delusion and have more mental health issues by ignoring the reality around him. His biggest issue with my challenge of these beliefs came when I told him to talk to his therapist about this. I wasn't trying to force my beliefs on him because I don't have any beliefs regarding it, although that might've been what I did since a lack of belief is a belief itself. I've apologised and we're okay now, I hope. It does not seem like this is harmful so I'll be supportive of this, just as I've been supportive of his other personal troubles.

Neither of us are in our teens or early twenties.

It sounds like you may just not be knowledgeable about it, so it may help you (and your friendship) to take an open and academic view and educate yourself on the stuff your friend believes.

Absolutely! I know very little about it and expressed interesting in being educated on the topic. I have no problem with witchcraft in itself. I would not be against participating but I told him that it would be, of course, for leisure and entertainment. My issue was him taking this into delusion, which is why I told him it to talk to his therapist about this interest. This is where his biggest issue with my statements came from. He's been through a lot. He's currently transitioning from F to M and it's been putting him through a lot of stress right now too, so I don't want to him to bear more from what circumstance it may bring from the prejudice around this. Sadly enough, I think that's what I did with my initial reaction so I made a big mistake in handling this situation.

Absolutely yes. There are parts of those religions that can be prejudiced and hurtful so I would challenge a friend that would fall into them. Of course, if no harm is being done I would be supportive, which is the new position I've taken from the advice here. I recognize there are also benefits from practicing an organized religion for a person that might need it.
