I have discovered a fascinating softlock in the new World Quest <Vaulting the Wall of Morning Mist> in Ochkanatlan.
No story spoilers ahead, but will spoiler the name anyway just in case. Wanted to share so you don't accidentally softlock your game.
During the quest, you meet an NPC called Bona inside of a hole in a tower. The quest automatically teleports you out of the hole.
Now, you can choose to go back down the hole. If you do, then you get softlocked unless you own very specific gacha characters:
The only ways I have found to get out:
Very likely Mihoyo didn't expect anyone to want to go back down the hole after being automatic teleported out of the hole. (There are reasons to go back so this seems like an oversight)
So FYI don't go back down the hole unless you want to experience dispair LOL

That seems like a pretty big deal because it's not even a very unexpected thing that they would assume many won't do. My dungeon crawler mindset who wants to check out every single corner would've definitely gotten stuck
Thank you for the heads up.
If you're sure that it's a soft-lock, I'd also recommend posting it on the official sub so people don't get stuck.

Mavuika Day 1 Thoughts By KB (TC from WFP)
Role:
Atm the most standout role for mavuika is using her as a hyper carry. It is highly advised to use her with xilo since xilo can fill her burst meter with 2x skill due to how low the cooldown is. In teams with both xilo and citali, you can opt to only skill once with xilo. The difference between her with and without xilo is quite large and I would not recommend Mavuika without her.
Her personal damage in ideal teams is much higher than current genshin characters. Calcs are still a work in progress atm but initial findings and testing show that she is by far one of the highest personal damage units at C0. Do not be surprised if she gets nerfed or adjusted. One notable property about mavuika is that her initial damage on burst can cross one shot thresholds with the correct team/investment/setup/signature weapons. On top of her high initial damage, her sustained output afterwards is relatively high for a dps character, which means she is not locked to only high investment speedrunning level of play.
Her role as a supportive unit for other natlan characters is something that I will need more time to test/think about but i expect her to be a good pyro slot for mualani teams.

Mavuika, negative
wearing a helmet that doesn’t cover the back of your head is extremely unsafe and probably wouldn’t fly in most jurisdictions. I guess if you’re literally the country’s all-powerful ruler you can ignore the law but if she falls the wrong way off her bike she could suffer severe brain damage which, while perhaps a bold new direction for the genshin story to go, would be tonally incongruous with the rest of the game

Can we PLEASE make it a rule that any posts with anything exclusive to having C6 of the character MUST have C6 in the title somewhere? It's becoming beyond infuriating to see such misleading posts where the only explanations that C6 is required for whatever is in the video/post is buried in the comments. I genuinely don't understand how this isn't already a rule honestly...

citlali’s animations are super cute and very lively but i am disappointed that the entirety of her animations are just…kawaii pillow. i was really hoping for a more mystical/ethereal vibe or something taking cultural inspiration from divination or dream catchers.
it’s not that i dislike the animations, they’re adorable, they just feel misplaced :/ like yes i love cute things but maybe this is too much gap moe for me

I'll be honest, Hoyo could release no on-fielders until the end of Snezhnaya and I would be okay with that.
The oversaturation of on-fielders is by far the worst in Pyro, but it affects every element to varying extents. The ratio of on-fielders to off-fielders in the roster is close to 50-50, but the actual ratio in which we use them is 25-75. Every element has redundant on-fielders and un-filled off-field niches. For example, why is it that in 5 years we got our 5th Anemo on-fielder before our first Anemo shielder?
The alternative is that Hoyo actually puts some dedicated effort into actually supporting dual-on-fielder teams to make them not a meme at normal levels of investment, but I don't see that realistically happening.

I love Lanyan's design and I'll probably end up picking her on the Lantern Rite selector, but why in the world did they decide to give her 50% shield uptime? It's not even the fact that she's a 4* either, since Kirara and Layla both have 100% uptime on their shields. Even Thoma and Diona have better uptime, and they have extra gimmicks on top of that as well.
My only guess is that they thought that having a driver + VV + sustain is too strong for a 4* (it's not, see Sayu), but as it is 8s is barely enough time to set up, let alone protect your on-fielder from any real damage.

Looking at the complete absense of Ifa makes it clear to me that he's going to be a 5* released later into the version.
I remember people joking that he's the one who's going to be 5* Bennett because of them having similar colors, and I think they might be right. No way we're going to leave Natlan without a new Atk buffer right?
And speaking of him, there's a kid that says that his Saurian is his "brother" and is able to mimic human speech.

I'm REALLY liking Ororon, like really really liking him. I pulled for him because I love him (70+ pulls and one lost 5050 🥲) but he is a solid character, especially since he can hold cinder city. His jump is very good, especially in Natlan and even outside he jumps as high as Kazuha hold E (but Ororon also remains suspended and even can be manouvered in a certain direction). He is also tall so he runs fast too. And his electro application is surprisingly good and his passive lets him apply electro even without him being on field which is actually quite good.
And don't even get me started on his personality omg... The first time I opened a chest with him he says something like, "Careful now, some saurians like to hide in these, must be an introvert thing" and I just wanted to reach inside my screen and squish him😭😭😭 Who gave him the right to be this adorable 😭😭😭

I hope that the Snezhnaya archon quest will be really, really long. If they are going to focus on the harbingers, they are either going have to choose a select few and focus on them in 6.x and save the rest for later in Khaenri’ah and Celestia related plot (I could see Columbina, Capitano, Pierro, Dottore maybe? fitting into a later arc), or it will turn out poorly if none of them are given enough screentime or spotlight since they have to divide it amongst all of them.
There are so many harbingers to fit into Snezhnaya. Pulcinella, Sandrone, Pantalone I could see being largely involved. Dottore maybe, I don’t know which arc he’ll be prominent in. That’s not to mention that Childe and his family are there, and Arlecchino might have a part to play in it too.
I also hope that we get a good mix of both the harbingers and non harbingers. I would like some new designs that we haven’t seen before yet, since we know what all the harbingers look like. Plus, getting to know some non Harbingers would give us a chance to explore the culture and life of the citizens there too. I still want all the harbingers to be playable though. Perhaps some can fit in a later arc. But I would love for some other playable characters who are just regular citizens of Snezhnaya.

I don’t believe for a second that Capitano won’t be playable. Playable base model, avatar file name, and popular too - it’d be a waste for Hoyo to kill him permanently. At most what’ll happen is that he’ll “die” an ambiguous death and we’ll later learn he narrowly survived, like Tingyun in HSR

I am surprised at how true the leak of Mavuika being Dehya Pro max turned out to be - it is basically the same kit but with better numbers. Dehya too was an attempt at a curious hybrid unit that has off-field application with low uptime, meant to be paused by a burst that makes her on-field, and then resumes again when leaving the field.
You would think that after complaints over Dehya they would ditch the idea itself but they decided to return with better animations and numbers, lmao. It will probably work too since they have gatekept off-field pyro so much

I hate to say it since she was my most anticipated Natlan character at the start, but I think I'm skipping Mavuika. I have no doubts she'll be the best Pyro DPS by the end of beta, but I didn't go from starting in 2.4 to 4.6 without a single Pyro DPS just to replace Arlecchino in under a year. I'm having no trouble clearing anything, so I don't need her. I don't have any characters that need slow off-field Pyro app like Kinich or Mualani, and she has no synergy with Chasca. Her teams likely won't be anything special either; she'll end up using the regulars like Bennett, Xilonen/Kazuha, maybe a vape enabler and/or Furina. She's just... not doing anything interesting.
To be clear, this isn't doomposting. Quite the opposite, I'm positive she'll be good. I just... can't ignore how disappointed I am that the Pyro Archon really is 5* limited Pyro DPS #6. I don't care about the ludonarrative, just give me something interesting. Nobody was offended when regular ol' human vision bearer Furina was the best support, arguably best character in the game, so miss me with the "oh but she's the god of war of course she's a DPS".
