Like 20 players I think.

Yea I love most of the cast of D20/NADDPOD/DropOut but Emily is a favorite in the D&D games because she's an agent of chaos with a heart. She has a very good idea of how far she can push something in any given situation and when she pushes its usually in a very party/narratively positive way. Caldwell in NADDPOD is also an Agent of Chaos, but it usually just ends with him getting seriously hurt.

I wrote a bit about it here, and I've enjoyed what I've played, but I haven't seen everything, and it sounds like if you're trying to 100% it, then it might get more, uh, "Gal*Gun-y" than I realized.
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!

I saw that banner and it confused me for a minute because it said the operator was "Poca" and I'm like, I don't remember having one named that. I thought this was Rosa but maybe it's someone who looks a lot like her?? Then I realized it was that weird Russian spelling they use for the bears (which is really weird in this case.. At least Zima looks like the same name but with a weird Z). But the way the banner lists it, it doesn't say Rosa at all (it only does if you click into her details page) so it really confused me :P
Which is a pretty accurate summation of Emily. It's hard to find someone as engaged with the game as she is, she is always bought in even when her character isn't "on screen" and she also does these silly and chaotic things that are hilariously entertaining. However, she's also an absolute monster on the mechanics side, and has systematically dismantled Brennan's encounters in the past with her smart play and character builds. A couple of examples (in spoilers in case someone hasn't seen a particular season)

In short, Emily is awesome, but be prepared for her to wreck your shit.

What's your adventure rank? My general advice is to not go out of your way for artifacts until AR45, as that's when 5 star artifacts are guaranteed to drop from artifact domains, which is where you'd go to get better artifacts. Until AR45, just level the best stuff that you happen to get from chests or from doing bosses or whatever, 3* stuff is fine early on. If you're above AR45, artifact domains are definitely a good idea.
the kind of artifacts you get are just RNG. the artifact roller is also quite streaky, i often go many domains in a row only getting flowers or feathers ;p
That is both completely unsurprising yet also still incredibly infuriating to learn.
That said, her Crown of Candy
Outside of that one counter-example, Emily’s characters are normally the highlight of any given season, either D20 or NADDPOD, and I genuinely cannot fathom anyone not loving her as a player. I’m honestly shocked that’s a sentiment that exists, and I just don’t get it.
'Course everyone I mentioned besides Xingqui is 5-star it might take a while to acquire that kind of team.
[edit] Oops, I was responding to something a page ago. The team rocks, regardless.
But last weekend I chewed through Artifacts at the Alchemy table to make her a decent set and leveled up a White Tassel.
She is hilariously powerful.
There's nothing to know about Zhongli other than this:
Zhongli is a shield bot. You swap to him and use his hold E to put a giant shield up (with bonus resist shred to nearby enemies). His build is generally just maxing out his shield.
If its up you might his his burst for the stun it causes.

I like ZL's burst because it's low cost and not really needed for anything so I can just use it whenever I feel like dropping a giant meatball on my enemies. If I waste Yelan's burst or Xiangling's I feel bad since they are actually good but wasting Zhongli's burst is no big deal. That one hilichurl archer looking at you funny? Drop a meteor on him.
But yeah, he is a shield bot. Ruined what little ability to dodge I used to have for sure. Also I have no idea if a particular enemy ability does 20k damage or 2k damage since they all do 0 damage to me.
ETA: I think he was a giant game design failure though. His shield is basically immortality and while Genshin difficult fights are mostly about dps, having ZL in the team completely removes any challenge related to enemy attacks dealing damage. Since MHY isn't going to touch his kit again they've resorted to stuff like enemies doing bleeding damage through shields. Obviously his giant shields don't quite ruin the game but they sure do narrow the space MHY has for future challenging content.
people often say ZL is OP .. but i think his little annoying drawbacks balance him out (he really doesn't do impressive damage and his pillars are the bane of both melee (auto-climb disable when HOYO??) and ranged (it blocks arrows)
I think people forget a lot of Zhongli's kit when they say he's just removing one aspect from combat. The shield is huge for sure, but the bonus of the shield is the 20% res shred which is also huge. All of that in just the E, which can be maintained most of the time and just never goes down, is a huge deal.

But yeah, Zhongli is easier to maintain for sure.

well sure, but at the end of the day you're just doing Orange Damage
it's just weird in a "reactions combat" game to go ham on the damage type that doesn't react with anything.
seems like they only shoehorned geo damage in just to make a few contrived boss mechanics.
like any VV shredder is gonna bring more oomph. ZL just allows one to turn brain off completely ;D
but he's kinda been powercrept over the years. there's a lot more ways these days to make tanky team comps.
honestly I just use his hold-E for mining in the overworld.
Meaning the game celebrates Pi Day.
