History Headscratchers / GenshinImpact

** An alternative to the Alcor would be Waveriders. They're a lot smaller and more mobile, hence why a big squadron was not present.

** As for how they got there, they could've taken the Alcor.

** The secret may be the size of Gorou's squadron. It's quite small which is why they could move undetected. All the guards were also knocked out by Sara.

* How did Gorou and Kazuha's squadron get in front of Tenshukaku ? Last time we heard of the Resistance, the war front was still at Yashiori Island. If they managed to infiltrate Inazuma City, how did they do so in Resistance uniform and no disguises at all ?

* Food for thought, but why doesn't the Traveler immediately go to Ayaka and relay Neko's request to restore the Asase Shrine? Not only is it the Yashiro Commission's duty to manage the shrines in Inazuma, but no doubt Ayaka would've been delighted to not only honor the Traveler's request but even advertise the Asase Shrine to the citizens of Inazuma, making the place a popular tourist spot.

** That Vision was originally a Masterless one given to her by her teacher. We see in Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves that dead visions keep their shell. So the original owner of Mona's Vision was from Mondstadt.

* Mona traveling to Monstadt and having no residency there indicates she really isn't from there. So why does she have a Vision with the Monstadt decal?

** It's possible Gnoses aren't common knowledge. Venti had to share that information only when it was relevant, and the Fatui know about it because Signora had them retrieved.

** Baron Bunnies are able to serve as a distraction and decoy target, as well as being able to activate some mechanisms that reaquire the weight of two people. For these reasons, there are benefits to crafting an autonomous explosive doll rather than just a basic bomb.

* Why do the people who live in Inazuma wear their visions on public display despite the Vision Hunt Decree? Do they only work when exposed? A lot of RedShirt Vision bearers from Inazuma have pretty peaceful lives that don't involve combat, so why carry them at all?

* If the Fatui are from the clearly Russia-coded Snezhnaya, why are all the Harbingers named for the very Italian Commedia dell'Arte characters?

* If the Fatui are from the clearly Russia-coded Snezhnaya, why are all the Harbingers bearing Italian names?

* Why do some characters carry their Visions behind their backs or dangling off their body? They could easily lose them if not secured properly to their person and visible from their perspective.

* Why are Treasure Hoarders called what they are? Both them and the Adventurers' Guild search for treasure and get to keep it so in a sense they both hoard treasure. The only difference is that Treasure Hoarders are willing to commit crimes, so why not just call them bandits?

* How does setting an enemy on fire and then dousing them with water cause 2x the damage? One would expect water to put out the fire...

** Some weapons are specifically designed for defense of the user, such as a Main-gauche (to stop thrusting attacks) or a Swordbreaker Dagger (for parrying), while still being perfectly usable to attack an opponent (Altough rarely used for that purpose, they were mostly used in conjunction with an offensive weapon). It's not a stretch to imagine weapons such as Whiteblind were specifically designed with a "main" defensive purpose in mind, while still retaining some combat capabilities.

* How do weapons increase DEF In-Universe? All weapons have a base attack, which is reasonable. ATK, CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate, and Energy Recharge indicate a weapon is more helpful in certain aspects of combat such as being more powerful, easier to hit weak points, replenish one's energy more, etc. Gameplay aside, how do the Whiteblind, White Iron Greatsword, and Traveler's Handy Sword improve someone's defensive capabilities?

* Why does refining forged weapons require a duplicate? It's understandable if the weapon were one you didn't forge and found from treasure, but here you have raw materials so why not use that directly?

* In We Will be Reunited, why does Dain charge right after Lumine and the Abyss Herald while carrying the eye of the First Tiller, knowing full well that it should not fall in the hands of the Abyss ?
* Similarly, Aether does not destroy the Defiled Statue at the end of the quest, even though that was the reason he returned to the ruins with Dainsleif.

* Why did the Traveler not warn Zhongli (or anyone else in Liyue) that the Fatui has been stealing the archons' Gnosises, even after seeing Venti get attacked and learning this information from Venti? He/She was obviously suspicious of Childe from the get-go that he would try to steal Rex Lapis' Gnosis from his Exuvia, shouldn't they have warned someone about it?
