Yunli & Old Mettle: It's time for some unusual weapons!

The information here comes from a post made by the official account on Hoyolab on 7 August 2024.

Allegedly, when the “Flaming Heart” Huaiyan saw this booklet and asked Yunli why she accepted the interview, Yunli simply replied:
“But they brought so many sweet and creamy pastries! Someone who carries sweet pastries and is willing to listen to what weapons have to say can't be a bad person, right?”

Since she started forging swords, she could hear the voices of all kinds of weapons.

Since his creation, he has been mature and silent, only speaking when necessary.

Join Yunli & Old Mettle in exploring the unknown “hot and cold” takes of weapons across the universe!

Yunli: When we first met, he was a massive broken iron sword, tall, blunt, and stubborn, rejecting heliobus, without a spine, and with an uneven crossguard.
We didn't get along back then… He said I had a bad temper, and I thought he looked ugly. But now? He says my sword skills are extraordinary, and I say he's unparalleled throughout history.

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
He urged us to move on to the next weapon now, he seems a bit shy. ( =^-ω-^= ).

Yunli: Grandpa said that a sword has no fixed form. This bat of yours can be considered a kind of “sword,” reflecting your habits and personality. Let me guess, you're someone who… doesn't follow conventions, likes to improvise, and can face true enemies with calmness. Am I right?

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
Your bat also says it wants to rise to the zenith of Galactic Baseballerhood with you.

Trailblazer: Swing the bat, defeat enemies across the universe! Step out of your hometown, head towards conquering the stars! Rules are made to be broken!

Yunli: March is my first apprentice, talented, hardworkinig, and very adorable, bringing me milk tea every day. I'm not good at putting on the airs of a master. I just tell her everything my grandpa taught me and everything I learned from practicing swordsmanship on my own.
Weapons can always sense the disposition of their users. Her dual swords tell me they feel well cherished and really like her!

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
March's dual swords also say it's time to show some real swordplay. She can fight ten on her own!

March 7th: Me? Against ten?

Yunli: Whether fanning wind, fanning flames, or slapping people with it, Jiaoqiu works in perfect harmony with his fan. But in my opinion, his weapon also has countless clever ideas, integrated pharmacology, and boiling spicy hotpot!

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
Fanning the flames, rest well before striking. This fan reflects its owner, excelling in strategy and tactics.

Jiaoqiu: Miss Yunli, in battle, it's important to be strong when the enemy is weak. As for what strategy to use? Keep an open mind and win with wisdom.

Yunli: Though both are Xianzhou ships, the Luofu and my hometown have many differences. This is the first time I've seen someone use jade tiles as a weapon. Hidden Hand, Tile Battle, A Scoop of Moon. With deft wrist movements, she has mastered the art of touch-move without regrets. The technique of playing jade tiles also reflects swordplay.
These jade tiles must be old friends of Qingque, as they carry gratitude for her recognition~

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
Oh, facing such a unique weapon for the first time, Old Mettle also wants to spar with the jade tiles!

Qingque: Play tiles, don't fight! The Celestial Jade emphasizes timing, location, luck, and leisure. Yunli, Old Mettle, let me teach you the wonderful secrets of “Celestial Jade”!

Yunli: Whether it's “Avalanche Chop” or “Boulder Breaker,” only by shouting loudly during practice can one avoid fumbling on the battlefield. He must have practice the mantra “Delve-Hidden Moon, World-Cleansing Dragon” many times with his golden yo-you, right?

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
I can feel the turbulent energy within the golden yo-yo.

Dan Heng ▫ Imbibtor Lunae: Yo-yo? Slogans? …. Ah well, like master, like apprentice.

Yunli: The current High Elder of the Vidyadhara and her precious gourd, they cooperate perfectly. First, a feint with the gourd, then a dragon tail strike to catch the enemy off guard, followed by using the gourd to heal teammates. Facing such a scene, the enemy can only mutter: What's in that gourd?

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
The gourd wants me to tell you, drink less milk tea and you might grow taller.

Bailu: Not being able to grow taller is not something that drinking less milk tea can solve! I've been researching this topic for a long time!

Yunli: General Feixiao can wield many weapons, including spears and heavy axes. Like her, her weapons are direct, fast, and frank.

Old Mettle: (Yunli's Translation)
Old Mettle's blade is already trembling with excitement, but even if he doesn't say it, I know he can't wait for a clash of blades and hearts. After all, swordmasters should greet each other with their swords.

Feixiao: Good taste. I like you. When are you coming to the Yaoqing? I'll take you to practice!
