@Impeeza - In most recent event it's implied by Xiao that she's somewhat special and could be said has 'adeptal affinity' - She could originally be from Liyue but not been revealed correctly.

Impeeza 11

"Affiliation: Liyue" ok I'm out, she's bartender in Mondstadt, has a cryo vision from Mondstatd, her dad is from "Deauclaire" (Dunno how it's translated in English, maybe something like Clearwater IDK) but she's from Liyue ? Wat

Impeeza 10

Why put def flat on artifacts ? Even her shield is scaled on HP ? Just curious

Anonymous 9

Are the DPS artifact stats on the sands a mistake?

Anonymous 8

You're artifacts effect are wrong! Can you edit it up ? You're giving a misleading build set ups to those people who came here. Kindly edit it because it is pretty frustrating
