Watch the trailer before reading this to avoid potential spoilers please!

So 5.5 is releasing alongside the collective of plenty, and along with them VARESA AND IANSAN (as well as ifa who is currently an npc)

I think our gameplay predictions for the collective of plenty were on the money. the tatankasaurus and teteocan members are sprinting-based exploration units (as far as ive seen, the sprinting seems to be slightly faster and they can DESTROY OBSTACLES IN THEIR WAY??? IANSAN'S JUST BUILT DIFFERENT???) the collective's playable roster also is meant to show that strength doesnt just come from muscle (i could lift iansan up over my head no problem while varesa looks like she could be shot thru a hoop. in reality, iansan could probably lift me up and carry me to the great volcano of tollan and varesa could likely shoot some hoops with me all night long)

Lemme just add that the tatankasaurus looks gorgeous

And also about my prediction that we would get a pyro tulpa in 5.5 (that i told no one about)... i was sorta right. the pyro boss coming to 5.5 kinda looks like a tulpa. but at the end i thought it was just another secret source configuration device... and then there was two. and i saw them being used as appendages? and then... oh dear god...

Putting my pride aside, I need to know if my character builds and party setups are actually good. Only one particular character and one particular party stand out to me, and they are the reasons I am making this post.

• Should I fully optimize my Traveler? My Traveler is currently using the Royal Longsword and Gladiator's Finale artifact set (with mixed stats to at least partially optimize him). But I'm reconsidering whether that's enough, and now I'm also considering giving him separate weapons and artifacts. This could help me because it will allow my Traveler to become even more powerful and also more helpful in my standard open-world party. However, doing this will also cost much more resources than any single character I have built (not to mention switching my weapons and artifacts along with my element will get tedious at times). Do you think it's a good idea?

• My current Zhongli setup is a Mono Geo setup with Noelle as the lead DPS, but I'm considering changing it again since I already have a Mono Geo setup (w/ Itto). I've used Zhongli in Physical teams in the past with Freminet and Rosaria (some people have pointed out that the RES drop he inflicts is not as effective if Superconduct is involved). So are there any other teams I can use him in? Be sure to check my profile because I have imposed rules on these teams.

Any feedback is appreciated!
