Chapter Text

an overview of their playstyle

 

itto

  • itto would be a hardstuck bronze 3 who crouch peaks.
  • his favourite skin would definitely be the oni phantom (base/tier 1 variant). you tell him the base sucks and tier 2 is better, which causes him to pout
  • itto spends most of his time playing the game at a gaming cafe because he’s bad with his money and doesn’t know how to save towards a pc
  • even though itto’s bad at the game, he doesn’t let that affect his attitude
  • he believes in the skin buff, it’s real. it really does work.
  • he has the lineups. itto’s spend all day memorising them sova lineups, he’s proud to be a lineup larry
  • “it’d be so funny if you revived me.”
  • itto plays a lot with his squad at the gaming cafe, calling it the “arataki gang”. his plushie, ushi is the mascot. he hopes to go pro in the future

 

childe

  • he would be the immortal boyfriend with the bronze/silver partner combo
  • childe loves to brag a lot and impress you whenever he’s on with you. in comp, he’ll call you the “double trouble duo” which is a cheesy name that he’s proud of
  • he really likes to play reyna because it fuels his bloodlust. he’s a pure duelist
  • “hold up, watch me hit a clip” then proceeds to fail and get shot gunned by a sage ontop of a wall
  • “this place is pretty dead, by which i mean, there is nothing to kill.”
  • childe’s the type to smurf and muck around with his friends in a five stack sometimes, they call themselves the harbingers
  • he can be a total tryhard or a big troll in game with his soundboard, it depends on his mood and the day

 

ayato

  • plays professionally, is within radiant top #10
  • he’s calm and collected, fun to play with and an inspiration to many within the community
  • he’s known for his quick no scopes with an op and marshal 
  • even though ayato plays in tournaments, at the end of the day his favourite is playing with his partner on his streams and taking it easy
  • the characters ayato mains is yoru, omen and most of the duelist but he’s quite flexible in filling
  • his favourite skin would be the neptune vandal, the noise is very satisfying
  • “everything’s in place, and they’ve taken the bait… yes. now to start reeling them in.”
  • he's also a content creator affiliated with a few popular gaming brands so sometimes, you get new gaming equipment for free

 

thoma

  • thoma isn’t really a competitive player, preferring to play unrated. 
  • he likes playing the support role with characters such as sage/skye
  • at first, he suggested being your pocket sage as a joke but you don’t think it’s a joke anymore when his average game has him rocking up with a kda of 4/15/28
  • he plays battle sage really well
  • thoma prefers to let you do all the killing, he really enjoys seeing your eyes light up everytime you get an ace or hit a crazy clip
  • if thoma played ranked, he’d probably be a plat or diamond, if he put in the effort but of course he prefers supporting your shenanigans 
  • his favourite gun is the marshal, he thinks sniping is pretty neat
  • “supporting fire! i got you covered.” the best pocket sage in teyvat

 

xiao

  • if the phrase “eww valo players don’t shower” belongs to someone in teyvat, this award goes to xiao
  • he’s a tryhard, refuses to bot frag and sometimes rages
  • if xiao had a rank it would be ascendant/immortal. he’s sorta stuck in that elo
  • xiao would main jett and be surprisingly good at it, an instalock jett if you will
  • “these trash deserve to die”
  • sometimes xiao can get a little toxic and he knows it himself, he’s grateful to have you to stop him and calm him down if it gets too bad
  • if you ever wanted a skin, don’t be shy to ask xiao, he’ll buy it with no hesitation
  • xiao might not show it but he really does enjoy playing with his partner at the end of the day
  • “we’re wasting time.” xiao is more of a solo/duo player, he can work with a team but he prefers to do his own thing such as playing for picks

 

venti

  • he likes to take the game easy, it’s something he plays for fun
  • venti hardly malds and when he does, it’s funny
  • he likes to play rat plays such as having a shorty and holding the worst angle to get those kills
  • he’s sometimes a menace to play with in customs. “where are you venti? are you hiding behind the yellow box?” the only response you’d get is silence or a small mischievous giggle. you know you’re fucked.
  • venti likes to incorporate drinking with valorant, he’s into challenges and roulettes. if there’s a bet involved, he’s in
  • venti likes to play with shotguns, it’s the fastest and easiest way to make the enemy team rage
  • in a five stack, venti would play with kazuha, xiao, heizou and aether. they call themselves 5WIRL
