For context about me, I'm a hardcore WuWa quickswap girlie, who earlier had bounced off Genshin because the combat didn't initially click with me, even though I wanted to experience the world of Genshin.

I came back when I heard that Keqing has combos and still has some cancels even if some of the tech I had heard about was patched out and apparently only existed early game, and new players get a selectable standard 5 star.

After actually getting her from that selector, her moveset and animations do actually feel kinda crisp/tight, and while she isn't going to turn Genshin combat into WuWa combat, she does seem to make the combat enjoyable enough it doesn't feel like a chore I have to do to experience the world.

With that in mind, I don't really care if my team has *ideal* synergy or if they're considered *good*, I just want some characters who are good *enough* for overworld/quest combat, who have enough synergy to feel like a *team* and not just Keqing + 3 totally random characters, who will get me somewhat learning to use the reactions system though they don't necessarily need to have the *best*/ideal reactions for her, who will be fun to mash buttons on.

I would love if there are some other characters who have some sort of combos or cancels or tech or just together with her make for a high APM team comp in general, or some other interesting thing to learn that happens at an execution level and not just the planning/setup level, who aren't pure unobtanium who I will actually be able to get on my account fairly easily.

I also don't know if she has any of these things I've mentioned wanting in her gameplay or not, but I kind of want to play Lisa because the tall pretty lady is nice to me and I'm very very gay, and she's a starter so I already have her, so idk, is there a team with Keqing and Lisa that I will have fun with, that doesn't require any unobtanium characters?

In the past when I tried it, I wanted to like Genshin, but the combat didn't feel good to me and felt like too much of it revolved around setting up the right team and then having memorized the right order to do things, and not enough execution skill expression.

I recently heard that Keqing has or at least had cancels and combos that actually take mechanical skill, and that sounded cool, and I like her aesthetic, and she's a standard 5 star so actually at least somewhat attainable without having to wait indefinitely for a character I will like to play.

However [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeqingMains/s/exkDGaeb7i) I found when I looked things up about her cancels looks like at least some of her cancels got patched out. Does she still have tech, cancels, or combos that take mechanical skill that would interest me enough to make me able to experience Genshin without just getting tired of the combat or did everything cool she can do get patched out?

I absolutely love everything about the Rinascita region of Wuthering Waves, the Rinascita part of it specifically is probably my favorite video game, and honestly, after catching up with the main quest up to the current patch in WuWa, I'm a little bit sad that I started the game when they were already finished with Rinascita and the new region just doesn't hit me the way Rinascita does.

I mean I don't dislike the new region, it's fine, but honestly all the sci fi stuff looks too industrial for my liking and I just want to get lost in a beautiful fantasy land. Rinascita leaned really hard into the whimsical-magical-fantasy aesthetic and I love it so so much.

I really want a game, it could be gacha or a one-time purchase game, I don't care, where the whole thing gives me the feeling Rinascita in WuWa gives me, not just one region. If it's something live service/gacha I want the whole game to be committed to that aesthetic, not just one region that they will be done with at some point.

I also honestly don't relate to or understand the majority of men, and tend to get a lot more immersed in the world if I can play as a woman. This isn't a hard requirement, but it is a very strong preference, as I have a much easier time putting myself into a game's world if I can move through that world as a woman.

I am aware that there are lots of other games with a pretty fantasy land aesthetic, however I do also want something where I will get invested in the combat and I will enjoy and want to fight things to get stuff for my builds. I feel like a lot of action RPGs aren't really mechanically intense enough in the *action* part of the game for my liking. A lot of them feel like most of the skill happens in the setup *before* you go into a fight and in knowing the correct thing to do, and then the execution skill is just doing the correct things in the correct order and that feels like a lot of mostly memorization and isn't very fun to me.

I absolutely love things like tight dodge timing, parries, combos, cancels, techs, all that stuff. I only play quickswap teams in WuWa and while I don't expect a playstyle that revolves around a specific WuWa tech to exist in other games, but I want *something* that will let me do sweaty flashy button-mashy stuff with stuff you have to time well and things like that.

I feel like a lot of RPGs that *do* have the type of gameplay I want tend to either go more modern/industrial sci fi, or if they're going fantasy they go more gritty dark fantasy, and like...

I want a game that's pretty.

I don't wanna choose between sweaty flashy button-mashy stuff OR a whimsical fantasy world that makes me happy. I wanna do sweaty flashy button-mashy stuff IN a whimsical fantasy world that makes me happy.

It does not need to be open world or follow a similar format to WuWa at all, as long as it makes me feel like I'm in a whimsical fantasy land and I can do mechanically intensive gameplay things. A world shown mostly through cutscenes and artwork is fine, confined levels with pretty backdrops that make you feel like you're in a big world despite a relatively small amount of accessible space are fine. It doesn't even need to be in a typical RPG format; It could be another action RPG, but also I would try a fighting game, I would try a shooter, I would try a game from *any genre* if I can play as a girl in a pretty whimsical fantasy world with execution intensive action combat.

As of right now I have an Android gaming handheld, and a Nintendo Switch, but I am planning to replace my broken gaming laptop eventually so Android, Switch, or Windows is fine.
