for me, Windtrace is literally the most terrifying game mode. I always look at the hunter on the mini map, and have a massive sigh of relief when I see they walk past me. getting chased by the hunter is super funny though, or watching someone else get chased. 10/10 game mode, anxiety machine with bonus points for being hilarious.
There was this one time I was just sitting down without a disguise only to see ganyu run past me with Bennett chasing her like I didn’t even get caught 😭😭
@@Bullminator I did that with wanderer on a map with my friend who is kinda a noob at windtrace, and they were RIGHT NEXT TO ME so I ran away, and they thought I was actually an NPC until I did that 😭 they said afterwards, “note to self: scaramouche is not an NPC”
I noticed that every time there was a Zhongli and Xiao in the game, and one of them is a hunter, they just walk around together and never capture each other. It happened already three times, literally every time there were Xiao and Zhongli together
As a veteran of playing Windtrace wrong, 99% of the time you can stand on a tall structure, rock, or cliff right in front, or next to spawn undisguised and the hunter will just not find you. In the new Liyue Qingce village map, the one where you hide inside the village, not in the field outside of it, there's a small gateway right in front of spawn. You can climb on top of that using the two signs next to it. Always works, even had the 60 second reveal a single hider's location favor used on me and the smartest Childe main couldn't find me.
The Chasm map with the tall wooden structure, there's some banisters that hang directly above where the hunter's trapped in the beginning. I stand above them on the banister and I have had a 100% success rate. It's fantastic.
Actually something like this happened to me, but I was a hunter. Two mf was in village and I found one of them, but last one just disappeared. I couldn't find them. I think they used this tactic. Thank you. Oh, I'm also Child main.
Why do people go up to the AFK hunter? Because we think they are signaling to throw the game and want to befriend the rebels. Trust is now broken and betrayed, do not approach AFK hunters.
I think the only "wrong" way of playing windtrace is to try to get as few points as possible. Which is I believe 50 points per game. Easier as a hunter, you just don't catch anyone. Harder as a rebel because others may cause you to get more.
I got like 38 once, maybe even less. A hunter caught all 3 of us at the exact same second about 10 seconds after the match started despite us being scattered far apart. It was weird and definitely didn't make sense, it was kinda creepy. Blocked the hunter after that just in case it was a hacker. I even got an achievement I never got before after playing a total of over 1500 matches of Windtrace, which was 'Had an undistinguished performance' or something. Like what the heck does that even mean
When I played as the hunter at Dawn Winery one of the rebels who was Diluc sat down at the table so I joined them for a bit, I went ahead and looked for the other two and when I went back to the table I was met with not just Diluc but also Wanderer I thought it was funny so the three of us sat down together until the end of the round with a confused Ayaka in the distance 10/10 experience honestly
did you know that last year’s windtrace, in the ritou map, there was a little gap between one of the houses and the floor, and you could turn into a stool and climb in? i loved that spot, too bad its gone
in this windtrace in vimara village theres a set of stairs and if you turn into a basket and go underneath it you go invisible underneath grass its literally so funny seeing the seeker running infront of u
i once had the best windtrace game. i was playing childe, and was the hunter. a zhongli player noticed me and started jumping near me. when i was released, we were literally chilling. eventually all the rebels stood by me and we sat down on a bench. and for good measure, i used sensory aura on them to get the exp books and let them win👍
@@Axlken214 literally happen to me yesterday. Saw them all chilling at the table, i just went there last minute at around 3 seconds mark, and Bam! All 3 of us rebels captured😂
You know, in spirit of Windtrace, what if you did one of those boss riddles in co-op but instead you went to a random location and gave clues to the other person on where you are? It would definitely rely on the other person not checking the map, but seems like a fun idea to me. Love the content either way!
i think it’d be legitimately hard for them to not check the map if the location isn’t nearby them, bc walking all the way over could be a pain. cool idea if it could be figured out though!
I'm pretty sure you can play windtrace with people in co op aka your friends, you just don't get points or any of the rewards. So it could definitely be done while windtrace is still here, could be stretched out to other rebels giving clues if Java is the hunter and done
2:12 that’s literally what I’ve been doing every single game. I have personally dubbed it “the spider on the wall technique” it’s surprising effective. I usually go Sayu for extra camouflage and smaller model.
I was once at the top of a building watching Yoimiya chasing Xiao and it was super funny XD. Whenever Yoimiya tries to catch him, Xiao would always dodge the hunter's net by dashing at the last second. The chase lasted for like 45 seconds and he still didn't get caught. The result: We end up winning with the Xiao still surviving.
thank god i haven't met toxic players yet who insulted me for being bad in the game but i'm seeing it happen to more and more people and knowing that this is not an irrational fear to have is definitely not helping my anxiety😭 i'm already way too anxious while playing this game, i think i'd just stop entirely if someone was mean to me, i wouldn't even care about the primos😭
Oh no, i feel sorry for you :( Please always keep in mind that you dont have to tolerate or even listen to those people, and in every case, dont take what they say serious. Those people are some 15yo simps that have nothing to tell you or anyone. So dont care about them, deal?
I feel for hunter on the Chasm map! I was pitifully bad here too, had a person somewhere up high without disguise laughing at me in the chat. This map is so hard for hunters for no reason!
This video was definitely fun to watch. Especially considering how some of these "wrong" ways actually worked and the whole CCTV camera part. Makes me wanna try it myself.
This video was exactly what I needed to be reminded that windtrace is just a silly hide and seek game, and I don't have to be so nervous about doing it. Thanks Java!^^
I mostly hide right at the Hunters Spawnpoint. I realized alot of people dont check the Spawnpoint and just start running straight forward and spam their Search/Capture skills
I watch this thinking it was the new windtrace and i was confused why is there the chasm map and how is wanderer leaving in 15 hours untill i realised this is the last year's windtrace and wanderer caught 2 windtrace's in a row with his banner
That afk hunter strat was like watching a kitten rescue video and theyre watching from afar and waiting for the kittens to take the bait to capture them ahaha
Windtrace is so much fun, I love it. I only wish u could see the other Rebels, because one time I almost got caught, ran away, went invisible and accidentaly led the Hunter to another Rebel. Then they were like "this is your fault, u led them straight to me". Bruh, sorry that I dont have a fcking clue where u are. Anyway, loved this video, keep up the great work. Good luck for your Ayato pulls and Raiden, if you pull for her.
If the rebels are marked on the map (for the other rebels) I think they dont do that so people have a harder time betraying fellow rebels and revealing location? Some annoying people do that
Me too except when the hunter is near..gotta move fast(I like the highest point bc u can see the hunter, just put ur volume higher to know if the hunter is climbing to the place ur staying)
I got chased by an albedo as a sayu on the village map (w all the scarecrows) and somehow managed to outrun him in the last minute (he was chasing me the whole time and I was constantly running out of stamina). I was screaming the whole time, I was so stressed
I did the same in the Springvale map, only I tried to contest the favor with Thoma. The hunter got it anyway, so I instead let them see me and ran them around in circles on the path around the windmill for the entire duration of their favor. I got caught, but they never found anyone else. Highly worth it and the most fun I’ve had at windtrace
This video was really funny and I wish that I could play windtrace but everytime I try my anxiety kicks in and I just cannot but this video made me kinda wanna play it.
personally i don't use disguises, people usually are so tunnel visioned you can just stand under staircase or in random object slightly higher than the ground and they will miss you
I once watched a zhongli get chased by a childe hunter who was using the favour where only one person is marked and they were literally running back and forth for so long the favour disappeared by the time the zhongli was caught myself (who was literally on the wall beside them the entire time) and the other rebel unanimously texted "noooooo"
just played a game of windtrace at dawn winery where i was the hunter and sat as diluc on the bench and nahida, klee, and ayato joined me. we hung out for the full three and a half minutes. it was great
I really wish Java would learn how to read. If he did, he would know that activating the favour as a Rebel gives you a massive speed boost, which you're meant to use to run away after snatching the favour. Also what the hunters net is and basically what all the abilities actually do.
I tried to do the go invisible and then run behind the hunter strat last night... but I pressed the disguise button instead XD I also had the same thing happen to me in one round, where I was in a good spot atop a small roof... but when the hunter was nearby, a dead teammate put an entire dead tree on top of me. Might as well have been a beacon... I barely got away! It's a nice idea, but it's pretty easy for your teammates to abuse their powers to try to end the match faster...
as a childe main (with horrible artifacts) I just type in chat and chill the whole time. met a lot of zhonglis that just stand or just walk around with me. met a lot of fun childes who just went along with whatever gibberish I was up to too.
I still can't believe they haven't found a way to rework the favor/comeback mechanic. On the large maps, it's usually just a way to further bully the Hunter. Since it's super super easy to steal it
Java, if you play again, equip the net as hunter, it's overpowered :,) (it helps u spot a rebel from a certain radius, takes off the rebel's disguise and you have 2 of them at your disposal, only problem is the cooldown (10 seconds for it)
my favorite way to play windtrace is to see if i can do it without disguising at all, bonus points if it's a character that stands out a lot. i won a recent game as ayato in the sacrosanct dominion map, not sure how i did it, but somehow running around to escape the hunter and standing behind other objects did the trick.
i actually did what you did in the secong game but i used qiqi so i was smaller. it was really funny seeing the hunter run past me so many times. once they were climbing right under me...haha
This windtrace was really funny when the hunter got trapped spinning on top of a flag pole while climbing. All of us hiders just went out of hiding watched with concern lol.
I had a hunter come straight towards me while I was a tree and just stare at me till I ran away as a tree still cause I didn’t know how to cancel the object transformation… they just let me run away slowly, I had very mixed feelings about that round 😭
Yesterday i played the best windtrace game so far. It was the second Qingce village map. The hunter sat at a table for a whole game, i joined them like a minute in, and we watched the third player run around like a vase and then climb on our table
This was so funny 🤣 also you and many of the people in the comments must be getting so lucky because it feels like the people I've been playing with on Windtrace are so high level for no reason...I hide at the tallest point(s) or in places where you literally can't even see me and they still find me! Lol
Literally yesterday I was in a windtrace match where a Chongyun was just standing around and I didn't catch them for a little while out of pure amusement With when the video was uploaded I almost assumed I'd be in the video lmao
A god hiding spot as a lantern in the dawn winery map is in the corner with the stack of barrels! there are like vines on the wall and if u climb till the very roof and position urself better to seem like ur glitching into the wall as a lantern...I can assure you guys that the hunter would definitely not find you with the 'vines' covering you- (well if u get marked by the favor then I dont know about that...)
if you get the qingce village map an dont want to use a disguise, go by the old man (to the right of the hunter) and if the hunter gets close use transparency and climb to the top of the house as fast as you can I did this with lumine and I also got marked yet I still won
I remember when I first time was a hunter I couldn't went through the door so the rebel was just stending on the opposite side and I started crying :")
One of my personal favorites playing Windtrace was when I sat down at a table in a Liyue map and it took the hunter (Ayato) 2 minutes and walking by me about 7 times to realize I was there. All of the other tables were empty. He spawned a few meters from them
The secret to not being captured without a disguise is to either roleplay or to literally just run away from the hunter and let them chase you around the map until they give up. I did that as Scara just to me a menace and in the end I may have gotten captured a few times but it was an effective distraction to keep the hunter from searching for other players (I didn't even need the coins at that point lol) and even after I got captured I'd be a menace to the hunter, following them around, placing stuff and really just talking shit in the chat.
Playing windtrace as Yae in Qingce village. I literally don't transform and just hides in the farthest bush, if hunter pick a favor I just change place to near the bridge, and still doesn't transform to anything my Yae just stick herself on the stonewall and she kinda concealed herself inside the roots. Pretty sure that Yae's color theme is pretty contrast to Qingce village color scheme, and the hunter literally run around on top of the bridge xD my heart literally beating so hard.
i did something like this, it was a liyue map so i thought it would be funny to just slowly walk around the map as zhongli (in the complete utter open) the hunter was nice and just started walking with me, then the other two rebels came and walked with us too, it was like this until the game ended, didnt capture us or anything
I really enjoyed watching it while drinking coffee with some biscuits! It was so entertaining. Keep it up because your videos are unique and very enjoyable 😊

Watching the ganyu and cadance come to you was like watching two bunnies slowly test a hunting trap
Thats exactly what I thought! xd
LMAOOO FR it reminded me of my catr trying to see if I'm okay with her jumping on my bed staring at me intensely😭
that was really cute i loved it lmao
Ikr same XD
Lmao. When u trust someone too fast
for me, Windtrace is literally the most terrifying game mode. I always look at the hunter on the mini map, and have a massive sigh of relief when I see they walk past me.

The anxiety is real
The hunter when the rebels run : WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!?!?!?!?
There was this one time I was just sitting down without a disguise only to see ganyu run past me with Bennett chasing her like I didn’t even get caught 😭😭
i just hid in a tree it was the funniest game lol since i wasn't sure if they could see me or not
Especially when your new and confused with how to play the game optimally 😅
The crazy thing is I used the Albedo-maid technique AND IT WORKED 😭
..for like 40 seconds but still
Walking slow like a npc also works for some characters.

daww that's so cute
Although there was one Xiao that accompanied my Nahida
There was one Sara and Itto having a date it seemed. I sat down the third chair and just watched. Sara took the favor and imprisoned me.

Lol I've done that spot too
17:30 that spot is also great, some people don't know how to get there lol
The Chasm map with the tall wooden structure, there's some banisters that hang directly above where the hunter's trapped in the beginning. I stand above them on the banister and I have had a 100% success rate. It's fantastic.

I have to say. I was hiding as a chair in the vines at the winery. The hunter passed me 3 times even pushed me and didn't know I was there lmao
I'll be honest with you, if I saw a chair so sloppily put there, I'd think it's a decoy
I did that too lmaoo
Sorry I ruined the perfect number

Might as well have been a beacon... I barely got away! It's a nice idea, but it's pretty easy for your teammates to abuse their powers to try to end the match faster...

Went here specifically to rewatch the video and have some nostalgia about old windtrace before it became more DBD like
The last map is pretty op for rebels cause you can just mask as a stone and become part of the wall or the floor, you should try this sometimes :)
i actually did what you did in the secong game but i used qiqi so i was smaller. it was really funny seeing the hunter run past me so many times. once they were climbing right under me...haha
my favorite hiding spot for the vine yard one is in between the wall and the crates and barrels as a lantern, or on the wall
This windtrace was really funny when the hunter got trapped spinning on top of a flag pole while climbing. All of us hiders just went out of hiding watched with concern lol.
I play with my irl friends and I will hide in plain sight sitting on a bench. Then once they drop their guard, I'm gone
1 year ago? And wanderer banner came just after wind trace this year..
Ikr the coincidence
I thought this vid was in 2024 😭
I had a hunter come straight towards me while I was a tree and just stare at me till I ran away as a tree still cause I didn’t know how to cancel the object transformation… they just let me run away slowly, I had very mixed feelings about that round 😭
I can't remember how much time has passed since I laughed loudly to a Genshin related video. Good stuff.
>springvale map
>climbs the windmill
An idea never seen before, truly revolutionary
Yesterday i played the best windtrace game so far. It was the second Qingce village map. The hunter sat at a table for a whole game, i joined them like a minute in, and we watched the third player run around like a vase and then climb on our table
were you on asia? I was on that kind of same situation too
@@eeeEEEeeeEEEEEE-eeeeeee no, i was on NA
That's hilarious!
The zhongli trailer music popping up with zhongli was the best for me 🤣🤣
This was so funny 🤣 also you and many of the people in the comments must be getting so lucky because it feels like the people I've been playing with on Windtrace are so high level for no reason...I hide at the tallest point(s) or in places where you literally can't even see me and they still find me! Lol
1:37 the house down the hill that’s very secluded, turn into a jug and sit with the boxes facing away from the map. Great spot
Literally yesterday I was in a windtrace match where a Chongyun was just standing around and I didn't catch them for a little while out of pure amusement
With when the video was uploaded I almost assumed I'd be in the video lmao
A god hiding spot as a lantern in the dawn winery map is in the corner with the stack of barrels! there are like vines on the wall and if u climb till the very roof and position urself better to seem like ur glitching into the wall as a lantern...I can assure you guys that the hunter would definitely not find you with the 'vines' covering you- (well if u get marked by the favor then I dont know about that...)
Java has discovered my favourite hiding spot in qingce village. They never think to look up.
Zhongli with the background song u put had me wheezing, lmaooo, I love this event sm
I read the chat omg they were just happy to reunite Miko and Raiden that they didn’t even care about the game anymore😂😂
if you get the qingce village map an dont want to use a disguise, go by the old man (to the right of the hunter) and if the hunter gets close use transparency and climb to the top of the house as fast as you can
I did this with lumine and I also got marked yet I still won
I remember when I first time was a hunter I couldn't went through the door so the rebel was just stending on the opposite side and I started crying :")
this whole video was just java climbing to the highest places he can find and being a security camera
You missed the opportunity to name this video "Hide and Peek."
Java I love all of your videos you can upload when you feel like it and take some time for your self
Just me watching this while playing windtrace, having a new C4 Faruzan from a Wanderer banner and not realizing it's over a year old?🥲
Whenever I'm the Hunter I tell them to come out and let them win, cause I know the feeling of pure terror whenever the hunters finds and catches me 👁👁
Love this game mode! 🌟 I wish it was permanent because I missed it this time :(
They really should just make it a permanent thing at this point. It looks fun. lol
One of my personal favorites playing Windtrace was when I sat down at a table in a Liyue map and it took the hunter (Ayato) 2 minutes and walking by me about 7 times to realize I was there. All of the other tables were empty. He spawned a few meters from them
The secret to not being captured without a disguise is to either roleplay or to literally just run away from the hunter and let them chase you around the map until they give up. I did that as Scara just to me a menace and in the end I may have gotten captured a few times but it was an effective distraction to keep the hunter from searching for other players (I didn't even need the coins at that point lol) and even after I got captured I'd be a menace to the hunter, following them around, placing stuff and really just talking shit in the chat.
Your voice are so soothing, i really like to watch your videos, also that ganyu and candace part really makes me laugh, GGEZ
Playing windtrace as Yae in Qingce village. I literally don't transform and just hides in the farthest bush, if hunter pick a favor I just change place to near the bridge, and still doesn't transform to anything my Yae just stick herself on the stonewall and she kinda concealed herself inside the roots. Pretty sure that Yae's color theme is pretty contrast to Qingce village color scheme, and the hunter literally run around on top of the bridge xD my heart literally beating so hard.
i did something like this, it was a liyue map so i thought it would be funny to just slowly walk around the map as zhongli (in the complete utter open)
the hunter was nice and just started walking with me, then the other two rebels came and walked with us too, it was like this until the game ended, didnt capture
us or anything
Imagine if hunter pull a thing and capture all of u at once with like 2 seconds left
“Well this has definitely been Ei round of Windtrace.”
Hell never get that close to me
*Teleports behind you*
Hunter: Nothing personal kid
ok but being Venti sitting on a bench at the Dawn Winery makes you invisible to all seekers
I miss this version
Same 😭
I really enjoyed watching it while drinking coffee with some biscuits! It was so entertaining. Keep it up because your videos are unique and very enjoyable 😊
That last hiding spot? CCTV camera? That but as the stone and on the opposite side so you are one with the leaves. Never lost.
11:58 Xiao used some adepti skills or some karma shii
I got so many ideas for hiding and hunting and so many laughs, thanks Java!
3:35
Omg I had a round too where bones was the seeker and didn't do anything 😭
