  • Saber: The Heir of the Wind – Amidst the Ruins, a New Dawn Rises; Wielding the Instruments of Light, Redefining the Combat of the Celestial Railroad

    In the vast expanse of the starry sea, the path of Saber, the inheritor of the wind, is a tale of destruction and rebirth, foretold by prophecy.
    When we speak of the grand epic Genshin: Star Rail, we are inevitably drawn to the legendary heroes who shine with extraordinary light. In the upcoming version 3.4, Saber, a legendary warrior from Fate/Stay Night, will descend upon this vast starry sky in a brand-new form. She is the inheritor of the wind, the herald of destruction and rebirth, and a perfect fusion of game mechanics and character design. In this world of fate and choice, the arrival of each hero signifies an evolution of the game mechanics, and Saber’s appearance is the most dazzling light in this evolutionary journey.
    In this world intertwined with stars, Saber’s emergence is not just the arrival of a character, but the beginning of a prophecy. She comes with a mission of “destruction,” yet she also brings a new interpretation of the game’s combat system. As a five-star wind-type character, every aspect of her skill design tells a story of power and rhythm. At the core of this story lies the weapon that carries infinite sovereignty, the “Sword of Boundless Sovereignty.”
    This “Sword of Boundless Sovereignty,” the source of Saber’s power, is truly remarkable. Its initial attributes are already impressive: 952.6 HP, 582.12 Attack, and 529.20 Defense. However, what is truly awe-inspiring is not these cold numbers, but the profound implications behind them. The three effects of the sword, like three secret commands, perfectly interpret Saber’s combat style.
    First, the “Knight King” effect allows Saber’s critical damage to range from 36% to 72%. This number is not just a simple value; it is the key to the entire combat rhythm. It tells us that Saber’s power is not static but is gradually unleashed as the weapon levels up. This design allows players to feel the accumulation and eventual burst of power as the character grows.
    Second, when Saber uses her ultimate skill, her attack increases by 40% to 80%. This mechanism suggests a truth: an ultimate skill is not just a high-damage ability but also a turning point in the combat rhythm. It reminds players that a true master’s strength lies not in one-hit kills but in controlling the rhythm.
    Lastly, the coveted energy recovery mechanism: when energy reaches 300 points or more, it recovers 10% of the energy and maintains the increased attack effect for two turns. This design is a perfect interpretation of the game’s rhythm. It tells us that in this vast starry sea, true warriors are never bound by energy; they always find the perfect moment to burst forth.
    Saber’s basic attacks, like a gust of wind, deliver devastating blows. Her basic attack deals 100% Attack wind damage to a single enemy. This seemingly simple design hides a profound truth: sometimes, the simplest things are the most powerful. It reminds us that in this complex game world, a precise basic attack can often surpass even the most elaborate skill combinations.
    However, when specific conditions are met, these basic attacks are replaced by “Liberated Golden Sovereignty,” dealing 150% Attack wind damage to all enemies. If there are fewer than two enemies, it additionally deals 70% Attack damage. This mechanism reveals the depth of the game’s design, as it not only enhances Saber’s combat potential but also challenges players to adapt their strategies based on the number of enemies. This dynamic interplay between character abilities and battlefield conditions is a hallmark of Genshin: Star Rail’s evolving gameplay and depth.
    In essence, Saber’s arrival in Genshin: Star Rail version 3.4 is not just the introduction of a new character; it is a refinement of the game’s combat system, offering players fresh strategies and excit

  • Genshin Impact Surpasses $4 Billion in Mobile Revenue as miHoYo Expands Its Global Influence

    On March 10, data from the Sensor Tower Store Intelligence platform showed that “Genshin Impact” saw another increase in overseas income, reclaiming the top spot on the out-of-country mobile game revenue list and re-entering the top of the revenue growth list. Meanwhile, another game developed by miHoYo, “Blade and Blossom 3,” saw a 62% increase in overseas income month-over-month, returning to the top 14 of the revenue list and topping the growth list at third place.
    According to reports, the hosting of the “Honey Walnut” and “Night Lan” character activities in early February and the 3.5 version update in late February contributed significantly to “Genshin Impact’s” overseas revenue growth. The recent re-release of the “Honey Walnut” character’s pool, which had been absent for 451 days, is a testament to the strong combat power of the other character, “Night Lan,” affectionately dubbed the “Night Empress” by players.
    The high-demand characters in “Genshin Impact,” such as “Honey Walnut,” were last re-released on November 3, 2021, causing server issues for miHoYo. This prolonged re-release underscores the company’s remarkable revenue-generating capabilities.
    According to reports from Hongxing News, mobile application data analysis platform Sensor Tower showed that since its launch in September 2020, “Genshin Impact” has earned over $4 billion through mobile devices, with approximately $1.64 billion in revenue in the first eleven months of 2022. However, this figure only represents the mobile revenue, not including PC or console versions.
    In recent years, the revenue-generating prowess of the “Genshin Impact” IP under miHoYo has been repeatedly validated. On January 4, 2023, the hashtag “#Genshin Impact Revenue Exceeds $4 Billion” trended on Weibo. Additionally, a recent partnership between “Genshin Impact” and Pizza Hut led to a temporary outage of the Pizza Hut app, further highlighting the game’s substantial influence.
    miHoYo has implemented various measures to prevent minors from becoming addicted to the game, including registration and payment processes. However, when parents request refunds for minors’ purchases, miHoYo often excuses these requests with various justifications, leading to consumer complaints.
    On November 24, 2022, miHoYo’s Project SH project was announced to be suspended. Project SH, led by miHoYo’s founder and “Genshin Impact” producer, Cai Hao-yu, using the UE5 engine, is considered one of miHoYo’s most ambitious and largest development projects to date.
    The development and progress of miHoYo’s flagship games, “Genshin Impact,” “Blade and Blossom 3,” and the in-development Project SH have been focal points in the gaming industry. However, the dissolution of Project SH may be within the company’s capacity to handle. Currently, miHoYo has already revealed “Blade and Blossom: Star Rail” and “Zero Escape.”

  • About the delicate understanding of Feng Jin’s character growth materials and the warmth of life

    Feng Jin, this name is like a gentle breeze, gently blowing through the world of Xingkong Railway. Her growth materials are like spring buds, which need careful care and watering to bloom the most beautiful flowers of life. Looking closely at the names of those materials, it is like a series of gentle paintings, showing her growth footprints and reflecting the endless warmth and expectations in life.

    “Fear crushes flesh and blood”, this name makes people feel nervous, but also makes people understand: there are always some hardships and challenges on the road to growth. It is like frost and snow in the cold winter, although it is biting, it also nourishes the tenacity of the heart. Feng Jin needs to face this fear bravely, just as a seedling must withstand the baptism of wind and frost to thrive. Every step of her growth is a dialogue with fear, and the power of the soft part of her heart blooms.

    And “courage tears the chest”, this name reveals the interweaving of strength and weakness. Courage is not innate, but a precious treasure accumulated in the hardships of life. Feng Jin’s chest was torn, but it also meant that her heart was breaking out of the cocoon and embracing the light of the future with the pain of being broken. She used that courage to gently protect her dream, just like the spring rain moistening everything silently, nourishing every inch of soil in life.

    “Glory baptizes the body”, this is a gentle baptism, a gift of life. Glory is not a flashy name, but the persistence of keeping the original intention in the wind and rain, and the belief that has never been given up on the long road. Feng Jin’s body and mind have been sublimated in this baptism, becoming more tenacious and pure. Her exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” is like a rainbow in the sky, soft and gorgeous, and is a blessing and expectation for the beauty of life.

    On the road of growth, Feng Jin needs “the seeds of thinking”, “the sprouts of manas” and “the Alaya flower”. These three materials are like seeds and seedlings in spring, which are symbols of the rebirth of life. She uses her delicate mind to care for each seed, and nourishes them with patience and care. They carry Feng Jin’s expectations for the future and her deep understanding of the essence of life. Every seed is hope, and every sprout is the continuation of love.

    “The legacy of the same wish” and “The footprints of fate”, these materials seem to be the strings of Feng Jin’s heart, playing gentle and melodious melodies. They are the bond between her and the world, and the beautiful marks she left on her journey of life. Feng Jin’s growth story is like a gentle poem, telling the warmth and tenacity of life. Her traces are the light in her heart and her beautiful expectations for the future.

    Feng Jin’s story is not only the growth of a game character, but also a hymn to life. She teaches us how to face the world with a soft heart and guard our dreams with firm beliefs. Every piece of her material is a gift of life, and every step of growth is a testimony of love.

    May every life that strives to grow like Feng Jin be able to bloom the most beautiful flowers in the wind and rain. May there be a beam of warm light in their hearts to illuminate the way forward. Feng Jin on the Starry Sky Railway is just such a gentle breeze that brings us infinite hope and touch.

  • Starting from the popcorn pot of Ju Fufu, a brief analysis of the philosophical significance of modern game character design

    Speaking of Ju Fufu, the S-level agent from the 2.0 version of “Zero”, we must first admit that she is indeed an interesting existence. Holding a popcorn pot, the fire attribute burst, the rotation dodge, and the series of dazzling skills, it really makes people wonder what the designer wants to express behind this? I think that Ju Fufu’s design is not only for the refreshing battle, but also a metaphor for the philosophical propositions of “individual and group” and “freedom and rules” in modern society.

    1. Popcorn pot: weaponization and absurdity of daily life
    The popcorn pot was originally an ordinary utensil in the kitchen. How did it become Ju Fufu’s weapon? This itself carries a sense of absurdity. Ordinary things in life become weapons to kill enemies, which is very similar to the confusion and struggle of modern people facing the world. The trivialities of daily life are magnified and become “weapons” on the battlefield of life. Isn’t this just like each of us in a complex society, using seemingly ordinary “skills” to fight against unknown challenges?

    The designer used a popcorn pot to create such a set of contrasts: ordinary and powerful, absurd and real. Ju Fufu hits the enemy with a pot, which is not only humorous, but also reflects the creativity and survival wisdom of modern people in helplessness.

    2. The symbolic meaning of fire attribute: the binary opposition of passion and destruction
    Fire, this element has always been a symbol of contradiction in literature and philosophy. It can both warm and destroy. Ju Fufu’s fire attribute skills are the best expression of this duality. Her flame is both a tool for fighting and an externalization of emotions.

    The duality of fire symbolizes the mental state of modern people: passion burns, and the heart desires freedom and expression; at the same time, this power may also bring harm and even self-destruction. Ju Fufu’s flame reminds people of the complex emotions in society that struggle between expression and repression.

    3. Spin dodge and high-speed rotation: the collision of free will and mechanical laws
    Ju Fufu’s dodge skill is not only a simple action, it also includes the design of tap-to-start and long-press to enter high-speed rotation. This seemingly free-switching skill actually implies the struggle of individuals in a mechanized society.

    Spinning symbolizes the melody of freedom, while dodging is the act of dodging. In game design, spinning and dodging brings a flexible combat experience, but at the philosophical level, it also reflects the helplessness of modern people trying to avoid various rules and restrictions through free will in a high-speed social machine.

    She looks for space in spinning and struggles in spinning, which is very similar to the contradictory mentality of each of us when facing systems and rules in life: wanting to break through, but being bound.

    4. Heat system: a reflection of emotional management and capital logic
    The “heat” system in the game is the core value of Ju Fufu’s skills. When accumulated to a certain level, powerful skills will burst out. On the surface, this is a numerical mechanism designed purely for games, but when you think about it carefully, it is very similar to the accumulation and outbreak of emotions in modern society.

    “Heat” symbolizes people’s inner energy. In real life, we are also accumulating various emotional pressures – work pressure, interpersonal relationships, and trivial matters in life. When these pressures accumulate to a certain point, they will appear in the form of an explosion, sometimes as a creative passion, sometimes as an explosion of anxiety.

    In addition, “heat” also metaphorically represents the concept of “resource accumulation” in the logic of capital: only when a certain amount of capital is accumulated can greater action be launched. The skill design of Ju Fufu cleverly combines the dual meanings of emotional management and economic operation.

    V. Team linkage skills: game and collaboration between individuals
    Ju Fufu is not only a solo dancer, she also needs to work together with her teammates. Her “linking skills” and “support skills” design show the subtle relationship between individuals and groups.

    Modern society emphasizes teamwork, but there are often hidden interests in cooperation. Ju Fufu’s linking skills can not only enhance the damage of teammates, but also trigger additional pursuit support, which reflects how individuals enhance overall effectiveness through collaboration. But at the same time, the conditions and restrictions for launching skills also imply the rules and constraints in teamwork.

    This design reflects the complex interpersonal network in modern society: cooperation is needed, but conflicts and constraints are inevitable.

    6. Skill level improvement and additional abilities: the dialectic of growth and ideals
    As Ju Fufu’s skill level increases, he can unlock more abilities, such as additional damage from wound effects and guaranteed critical hits from combo skills. This growth mechanism simulates the growth process of individuals in real life very well.

    Growth is not only the accumulation of abilities, but also the reconciliation of the contradiction between ideals and reality. The progressive level of Ju Fufu’s skills reflects that while people pursue their ideals, they must accept the limitations and compromises of reality. Her growth path is like a curve that constantly breaks through herself but struggles within the rules.

    7. The cultural meaning behind the design: the combination of modern aesthetics and narrative
    Ju Fufu’s design combines hot visual effects with complex numerical mechanisms, reflecting the aesthetic trend of modern game design – pursuing both stimulating visual impact and focusing on the depth of the system. Behind this design is the dual demand of contemporary culture for “fast pace” and “deep experience”.

    On a philosophical level, Ju Fufu is a symbol, a microcosm of the fast pace and deep-seated contradictions in modern life. The popcorn pot on her body, the rotating flames, and the accumulated heat all point to the philosophical proposition of how individuals in a complex society can find their own position.

    8. Conclusion: Ju Fufu is not only a game character, but also a mirror
    Ju Fufu, the girl holding a popcorn pot and covered in flames, may be the epitome of our era. She tells us that the seemingly absurd things in life actually carry profound philosophical meanings: individual freedom, emotional management, and the relationship between people and society.

    Her flames illuminate the absurdity of reality and ignite the hope in her heart. In this fast-moving and complex world, everyone is Ju Fufu, using their own “popcorn pot” to spin and dodge, looking for their own piece of fire.

  • Before landing, we once believed in airdrops

    The night falls, like a damp and cold old coat, falling on the shoulders of this era.

    You walk into the game, into the field that is obviously just a simulation but more tense than reality. There is no emotion here, only efficiency and choice. You hear the sound of gunfire piercing the air, as if life is twitching in the cold iron. Then you meet them: AUG and M4.

    You remember that in the past, AUG only existed in airdrop boxes – a distant symbol, like some kind of love or redemption, which must be touched at a great price. You have run for it, and you have fallen when you get close to it. Now, it suddenly becomes within your reach. It falls from the sky, falls into the dust, and stands shoulder to shoulder with you.

    What is the difference between it and M4? Maybe not much. The damage is 41, and there is almost no essential difference. But you understand that those invisible details determine success or failure. AUG has lighter recoil, like a silent person, and only needs a little adjustment at a critical moment to become extremely stable. And M4 is like the kind of person you think you are familiar with, but in fact it is easier to lose control in chaos.

    Some people say that this is a change in the algorithm. Some people say that this is a trade-off in the version. But you don’t care about these. What you care about is whether the weapon in your hand can be like a reliable existence when you stand alone in the open land and the enemy lurks in an invisible place, and maintain a certain order with you when you pull the trigger one after another.

    AUG has changed. After the update, its recoil has been reduced, vertically reduced by 20%, and horizontally reduced by 10%. You know what this means. In a melee, every aim and every moment of adjustment determines whether you can survive. It performs better in continuous shooting, with less horizontal jitter, like a calm and powerful line that will not be easily blown by the wind.

    Of course, it is not perfect. Its vertical recoil is slightly higher than that of M4, and the reloading speed is one second slower. But you are not in a hurry. You have long understood that any kind of reliability is not absolute. Just like a relationship-the more you want to be fast, the easier it is to be interrupted. Slowing down may be a trustworthy rhythm.

    And its bullet speed is still faster than M4. 900 meters per second, a slight advantage, but it seems particularly important in the confrontation. Just like when you look at each other in silence, the one who looks away first often loses.

    You start to rely less on M4. It’s not that it’s bad, but you are tired of compromising with old habits. You want to try new things, even if it is still cold and emotionless. You just need a tool that fits the present better, a carrier that can bear some of your complex emotions.

    And this AUG may be it.

    It is still rare. Like someone you meet by chance but can’t get close to frequently. You know that it won’t appear in front of you every time. But as long as you meet it, you will choose it without hesitation.

    You may even want to change a skin for it. In this calm and noisy space, decoration has become a kind of ritual. The gun is no longer just a gun, but an extension of your body. You need UC, and you need to buy a small but certain meaning. Treabar may be a channel. You don’t care about its details, but only care whether it allows you to get what you want faster and cheaper.

    The game continues, you are still running, climbing, and shooting. You no longer care about winning or losing. You just want to know who, or which gun, will accompany you further in this space where every battle is like a metaphor for fate.
