2025-08-16 21:00:27 +0000 UTCInazuma was extremely dark but the worst of it was relegated to world quests and flavor text, the main story was the war and we did see SOME of the consequences of all the fighting but the vast majority was found things around the nations. This is when they really started upping the anti with the darker themes in the mainline quests. And each nation from here on out just gets darker and adds more of it into the main quests.

2025-08-13 06:29:20 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, just like most of the Monstadt characters, like Diluc, Kaeya, and Jean. Collei’s backstory is only in the Chinese comic (called a Manhua) If you’re interested you can actually read it on your own time. There’s only 13 chapters and they’re all fully translated to English. https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/m/en/manga

2025-08-12 19:12:09 +0000 UTCCollei is a tragic sweetheart. Like schifferjack mentioned. Collei’s time with the Fatui was horrible. She was basically subjected to human experimentation and was full of anger and anxiety. She eventually escaped and found her way to Monstadt she the experiments done to her body were causing trouble. Collei was so angry at her situation that she wanted to get revenge on the gods for not doing anything to help her. It wasn’t until she Amber that she finally found someone that treated her like a person. And thanks to Amber’s protection and guidance, she finally went back to Sumeru to try and live a new life. Though as you’ve already seen. She’s still in the “try” part.

2025-08-12 19:08:16 +0000 UTCAs someone that really likes Amber that I’ve pretty much had them on team for the entirety of this game, this little moment of her having a profound impact on another character made me very happy. Gacha games are “Flavors of the Month” since they have to keep making new characters that people will possibly want to pay for to have a better of getting and making stronger. So when they find ways to connect old characters to current ones, it really brings a good sense of world building.

2025-08-12 19:03:26 +0000 UTCNow The Black Fire incident happened during the time when The Doctor was with his envoys in Mondstadt and that fire basically killed 2 Snezhnayan Diplomats which could threaten the peace between the two nations. Diluc offered to be the scapegoat to satisfy the Fatui. This is basically just the summary of the things about Collei. Of course the manga has more info especially Diluc's past

2025-08-12 18:11:57 +0000 UTCCollei's past is in the manga. Basically she was being experimented by The Doctor and when she escaped the Fatui, she ran away to Mondstadt where she met Amber and the rest of the Mondstadt's cast. She's had bad experiences with Kaeya. He was on the hunt to kill/execute her because she caused an incident called the black fire incident. Basically she went to Mondstadt to find the cure for her Eleazar and power for her revenge against the Fatui. Girl was in a dark place and a menace at that time but Amber saved her from being executed by Kaeya. Diluc was still doing his batman shenanigans with the Fatui. In the end, Diluc offered to act as the perpetrator for the incident and offered himself to the fatui. Of course as we can see Diluc in Mondstadt now, he escaped from them.

2025-08-12 18:10:00 +0000 UTCThis really takes me back. I can’t believe it’s been nearly 3 years since Sumeru came out. I wasn’t caught up with the story when Inazuma started, so Sumeru was the first new region that I got to experience right when it launched.
