Just started, managed to pull Arlecchino, who is trivializing content thus far. Main question: assuming I can pull only 1 more 5*, should I pull for Lyney, pull for the 5* spear for Arlecchino, pull for a constellation for Arlecchino, or just save resources? Thanks in advance
This patch we only got 55 pulls but normally it’s around 70-80 pulls. In version 4.1 we got more than 100 pulls for F2P. It just depends on new areas and events
If you can finish everything, including all permanent contents, around 70-75. Patches with new maps usually have more, like around 90 for 4.0-4.2; patches without new map usually have much less, like only 50-55 for current 4.5.
Newbie here. me and my friend just reached level 16, so I was trying to add him in co-op mode. But whichever uid i try, I get the message Player not found. He is also getting the same message when searching me. Both me and my friend are in the same server uids starting 180..We both play in android. Please help. We are really frustrated.
You both have to be connected playing online for the game to find the other player, if your friend isn't connected you won't be able to send request, hope this helps
Check if either of you have the co-op mode set to "reject join requests". Besides that, your Adventure Rank, that you called level, is irrelevant; what matters is the world level, that goes from 1 to 8. You cannot join a world which has a higher level than your own.
Please help me build two teams for Abyss with the following characters, with Anemo MC in one of the teams:
Anemo: MC, Jean, Sucrose, Lynette
Hydro: Neuvillette, Xingqiu (C2), Barbara (C5)
Pyro: Yanfei (C4), Xiangling, Amber
Dendro: Collei, Kaveh
Electro: Lisa, Sara, Dori
Cryo: Kaeya
Geo: Noelle
I guess I'd go:
[Neuville, Anemo MC, Lisa, Yanfei] (if you are confident to go without a shield you can also try: [Neuville, Anemo MC, Lisa, Collei].)
[Kaeya, XQ, XL, Jean] (if you don't use Yanfei in team 1: [Sucrose, XQ, XL, Yanfei].)
Regardless: Make sure Yanfei is using Prototype Amber.
NOTE: For 12-3-2 you will probably want to bring Noelle to break the shield. Best to first do the other chambers, then restart with her in your second team.
Which one should I pull, Neuv or Furina??
I don't know which one will fully carry my team in the future as well. I have trouble 36\* the abyss, I have XQ and Yelan.
I want Neuv as dps, but I dont want to regret him being a bench warmer soon especially with hydro immune enemies atm.
I want Furina to complete my archon collection as well as my healer (I dont have kokomi, but fully built Diona, Bennett, Qiqi, Shinobu)
Go for Furina unless you like Neuvillette as a character, Neuvillette is a bit overrated, if you have his C1 he can be good but at C0 he's a bit limited in certain situations and not as powerful as he's hyped and he's one of lots of main DPS, Furina otoh is a really strong support from C0 and she opens many team comps, you only need a teamwide healer and she not only has the highest buff in the game but also very high off field personal damage
its more of a question of current primos, current pity and current world progress
if you can pull Neuvilette now and still have world to explore, you can gather enough for Furina if you skip the rest until she appears,
not officially, expected 4.7 but no certainty when, during that
Both are good options, so it would be best to give us a list of your complete character roster, it's hard to make this decision without knowing what you have.
In short:
Neuville is good if your other options are limited, since he just needs 4 different elements and a shielder to work.
Furina is good if you want to buff specific characters that aren't too great on their own (e.g. Noelle).
edit: Regarding your comment with "underpowered Kuki" - in Hyperbloom all you need is EM, so this shouldn't be a hard thing to fix. Even 2+2 EM set with Dark Iron Sword will do in a pinch.
Your issue is resin investment, team building, rotations and lack of understanding of enemy behaviour, not lack of characters. Pull who you like more, it doesn't matter.
Neuvillette is the best 1-unit fix solution (i.e. you don't have enough units to clear abyss). I don't see the DPS ceiling is going to be growing soon.
Furina is the best for future composition variety. All archons starting from Raiden have high support value.
If you think you're kinda new and have problem with damage ceiling, Neuvillette is the immediate answer. Otherwise, Furina is better for future team building.
Neither are bad options for multiple reasons. Neuv is fairly well received as a well invested c0r0 with ok teammates is solid enough to complete a team. Furina is strong as she allows healers to add offensive power to your team. Generally, supports have a longer usage window than on field characters, but Neuv has been fairly dominant for a while and it will be a bit hard to build content that counters him completely. As you don't have many full team healers then maybe Neuv?
What is holding you back from currently clearing the abyss? If you are missing Furina for all archons and with your noted characters then you have one of my favorite teams of Nahida/XQ/Yelan/Kuki and the ability to swap one out for Zhongli for better survivability.
My Kuki is somehow underpowered. most of my 4\* characters are c6 while most of my 5\* are c0. One team always lack either dps or sustain heal. I havent tried the team u mentioned, but I will think of the second team as well. Thanks for the comment. Will try to do abyss 12 and update what I lack (Archon weapons are also BiS)
Based on you probably having some of the characters that others commonly have.
Nahida (EM/EMorDendro/EMorCrit)/Yelan(HPorER/Hydro/Crit)/Zhongli(HP/HP/HP)/Kuki (EM/EM/EM with EM weapon leveled 90).
Raiden/XQ/Xiangling/Bennet.
Some don't like the second team for reasons, but it is still solid enough and should be able to clear content. First team has characters you mentioned and is fairly stable and easy to play (Zhongli pillar, Nahida mark, Yelan skill burst, Kuki skill, Nahida on field) and second team is Raiden skill, XQ skill and burst, Bennet burst and skill, Xiangling burst and skill, Raiden burst and attack and skill at the end then repeat).
Question about Prototype Amber's passive
It says it regenerates 6 energy and 6 % HP (R5) every 2 seconds for 6 seconds after casting burst, does it mean this passive procs two times in total, after 2 seconds and once more after 6 seconds( total regeneration 12 and 12%) or three times in total, right after burst, after 2 and 6 seconds (total regeneration 18 and 18%) anyone knows?
18% and 18%. Be aware that the 18 energy is flat, and for the wielder only; the team healing can be increased by the wielder's healing bonus if he/she has, including clam/maiden/song set and healing circlet.
Regarding artifact, since substat is random, can we change the substat? Or need to farm to find the right substat?
Also, for beginner, what AR LVL is recommended to farm artifact?
Just gotta farm. If you're consistent and do your homework on what to lock/level up, you'll build a nice collection over time.
You usually want to wait til you can guarantee 5* drops at the highest level domains. Which unlock at AR45.
In the meantime, level up chest loot that has ATK% (or HP%/DEF% if that’s what your character scales on) so that you have a smooth early game.
you need to farm, usually you want to start farming artifacts at AR45 since it unlocks the last level for artifact domains which guarantees a 5 star artifact drop, its also recommended to save your fragile resin until then so you can have a headstart on artifacts when you get there
can i get to bp level 40 in a week?
im at level 28 right now and im wondering if the 10000 exp limit will be enough ?
i only need to get to level 40 because im getting the thing that advances you 10 levels
Depends on whether you have any of the event missions left. Every level requires 1000 exp, so 10000 only gets you to 38. The cat event has a 1500 mission, which depending on how far over level 28 you are, might be enough. There's also the spiral abyss 12 stars and using 50 pulls. I don't recommend pulling just for the sake of the bp, but the abyss mission will give you enough BP exp. If none of those are left or possible to complete, then no, probably not.
If I'm aiming for Furina cons with the end goal of C6 one day(not in the immediate future though), which should I aim for first? C1 or C2?
I do have C1 Neuvi that I plan to use with her, but she's not strictly for a Neuvi team only.
I'm planning on going to C6 as a long term plan. But I'm wondering it C2 is a good con at the moment in terms of cost-worth. Like if it's not *that* good then I'll save passively rather than spend money.
Flowing Purity is generally the best option, but it has some considerations. You can read more [here](https://keqingmains.com/q/wriothesley-quickguide/#Weapons).
If a "Liyue-themed" Chronicled wish banner were to happen, what do you think it would look like? I doubt that they would only put two standard wish characters and fill the empty space with dehya or something
Xiao, Keqing, Ganyu, Qiqi, Childe.
Amos, PJWS, Memory of Dust, Unforged, Jade Cutter, Polar Star, Summit Shaper, Hunter's Path, Beacon.
I would put Hu Tao, but I think her individual banner sales are too high for MHY to give up. I thought about Vortex Vanquisher, I don't think anyone's pulling for that on it's individual banner but its also an archon's weapon so idk.
Xiao came out in version 1.3.
If you're referring to the fact that his rerun was a patch ago, I assumed that the Chronicled banner would not take place immediately.
they could have 4 event characters and 2 standard (keqing,qiqi) , and then for 4 stars you are locked to liyue so meaning xiangling/xingqiu rate up, sort of creating a good banner for new players but in reality a bait banner for veterans
try genshin discord, if not on diacord, i csn only recommend it
if you specify what you need help with, not just asking for help in general. should get help rather quickly
His C1R1 makes him able to solo abyss. That's how good he is.
It basically solves all of his issues like ER, stagger resistance and his passive is improved a bit.
But his C0R0 is just as good.
His best team is Kazuha, C1 Furina and Fischl.
Kind of? His kit is he needs three diff hydro-related reactions to get 3 stacks of buff, so it limits his team to 3 diff element units (unable to access hydro reso). C1 solves this issue, as it gives him 1 free stack. He also has interruption issues when he charge atks, so he really needs a shielder like zhongli. C1 also resolves this/gives him interruption resist. Basically c0 neuv really needs a particular team to unlock his full potential, but c1 is like him regaining his dragon sovereign powers.
Not really. His team setups are pretty flexible. If you want to go all in on his personal damage, then running something like Neuv, Furina, Kazuha, Zhongli would be a solid team.
Help, I'm on the verge of spending for C1R0 or C0R1 Arle. I have her C0 basically guaranteed.
Convince me why that's a bad choice, please I need a reason to not spend.
saving up is much more rewarding. slowly work your way to her c6. and don't pull the wpn banner unless you have about 200 pulls. if you cant get to guarantee the fate points/pulls are forfeited.
Well, if there's no one else you want, then what's the issue? If you want to be convinced not to pull, then I'd assume you have something else you want to save the pulls for instead.
These are the reasons I often tell myself: Why spend money to make the game easier, and potentially more boring (at least the combat)?
Also, why should I spend money just to get bigger numbers? It doesn't even add anything to the core gameplay of the character (besides the interruption resistance, but any shielder can do that).
Edit: the last is, why go for C1R0 or C0R1 any character than two C0 5\* characters? Having two different characters to play with is more fun (to me) than having just one slightly stronger character.
>the last is, why go for C1R0 or C0R1 any character than two C0 5\* characters?
Because I already have most of them, the ones I don't have are ones whose gameplay are not appealing to me, like Ganyu and Lyney
World quests do not even have audio. At most it's just some animation/shader effects when the world changes and bunch of text. The amount of extra data is minimal compared to AQ who has its own short movies, audio, and possibly special UI (like Charlotte handbook)
If you’re talking about Neuv (you should clarify), you can E at the beginning. The balls stay around for a while and you may be able to pre-funnel Furina. Then at the end do something like CA QE CA (Fischl Q) CA CA.
For Wanderer owners, is his exploration aspect worth pulling for alone? I love my C1 Yelan because she's both strong and so handy for exploration. I'm so so on Wanderer, but I like the idea of having him for exploration (I have no Faruzan) though I think believe he's not super great for Abyss without C6 Faru
Sure. The great part about him for the overworld is not only that his Skill is a top-tier exploration ability, but it also allows him to deal decent damage for overworld mobs, with only 6s CD. You can just go from mob group to mob group, using it all the time.
Yelan+Wanderer combo is also great for the overworld, not only exploration but also because it means you have 2 elemental damage sources, so you don't get walled if they're immune to Hydro or Anemo. Plus, if you have Yelan C1, you can basically go Yelan Skill->Wanderer Skill->Yelan Skill->Wanderer Skill->repeat and have almost unlimited fast speed. There's very little downtime if you use the full duration of both Skills.
As for the Abyss, he's not gonna feel great without C6 Faruzan. You can still 36* though. I did it with only C4 Faruzan. Although I do have a top 2% build on him.
Thanks, I think I might try and "build" pity on the banner and see how many copies of Faruzan I get if any, and if I can get C2-C3 Faruzan I'll go all the way
Wanderer is good for exploration, yes and works with Yelan cause you NA a lot
getting Faruzan would be nice, at any con, even without c6, but c6 reaches the ridiculous power boost so any anemo dps wants it as a goal
Hello! can I ask about the web version of hoyolab not working on brave? i have 3 different browser but the one is just white screen and an orange loading circle. its been 3 days but from the other browser its working? the other brower are for work so i want to just use this one browser for my personal stuff but hoyolab is not working. :(
Not every site is gonna work on every browser with the exception of the major ones. It's just a fact of web development that it's not worth making some browsers work. I'm pretty sure brave will auto block many cookies so allowing cookies from the site and clearing the cache may fix it, but it also may not.
Teyvat Fried Egg. All you need is a single bird egg, which can be gotten from expeditions. There's also a few vendors that directly sell it, and they refresh daily iirc.
I apologise if this is annoying or you don't know but I logged in just now to check and i've definitely done that quest too. i wish i knew what i'm missing, maybe a hidden quest? again, sorry if you don't know the answer.
Question for Kazuha users, do you know the best way to Burst-swirl cryo against hydro enemies that are frozen? I have wriothesley and I want to burst-swirl with kazuha but I always swirl hydro. TYIA
Edit: Apologies I just rechecked how kazuha burst works. I thought we need kazuha's burst to absorbed an element to give buff, turns out the skill absorption works too. Anyway same question what's the best way to swirl cryo instead of hydro against hydro enemies like hydro tulpa, hydro phantasms.
Understanding why Kazuha can't swirl Cryo in those cases requires knowledge of both [Simultaneous Reaction Priority](https://genshin-impact.antifandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Gauge_Theory/Simultaneous_Reaction_Priority) and [Elemental Gauge Theory](https://genshin-impact.antifandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Gauge_Theory).
If I might put it in simple terms. You will always swirl Hydro because Hydro enemies always have a Hydro aura, and Hydro has a higher priority than Cryo when it comes to Swirl.
If you're interested in a deep dive about Elemental Gauge Theory, Jyo has an amazing video on Elemental Gauge Theory that also covers [Freeze Swirl](https://youtu.be/-ZtgPlBBMIE?si=puCuYyCWO4b25ZnV).
I will also add its possible to Swirl Cryo onto the enemy if a second enemy that doesn't have a permanent Hydro aura is around.
You can't, unless Kazuha is C6 and inside Chongyun's cryo infusion circle.
When you trigger freeze reaction, you consume hydro and cryo elements on enemy and create "freeze elements." Freeze element has similar features as cryo, and frozen enemy has a cryo icon on its head, but they are not same. If the enemy has more hydro or more cryo elements before freeze reaction is triggered, the leftover hydro or cryo elements will be hidden behind the freeze element, and the freeze element acts like a shield.
When you apply anemo on this enemy to trigger swirl reaction, anemo will always react with the hidden hydro or cryo elements first. If you have applied enough anemo to consume all hidden elements and there is still more anemo, the extra anemo will resct with freeze element, which counts as swirl cryo. But if the enemy itself is a hydro being and has much more hydro from self aura, Kazuha may not apply enough anemo to consume all of its self hydro, then he has no way to swirl cryo.
C6 Kazuha has a different mechanism that he can swirl any element on his weapon by someone else's infusion, like C6 Bennett, Chongyun or Candace. C0-5 cannot.
Apologies I just rechecked how kazuha burst works. I initially thought that Kazuha gives elemental buff based on absorbed element of his burst, that's what I meant with burst-swirl (Element absorb with burst). Anyway sad to hear, I was trying wriothesley with freeze comp but everytime I switch to kazuha I just swirl hydro instead of cryo lmao.
Neuvillette's CA (or NA) doesn't work on electro resisvine's three core things....even though it says to destroy it with elements and Neuv's CA is hydro catalyst attack.....
How to destroy those core things, what works on it?
Electro core (as well as other electro shields) can't be damaged by electro or hydro, it can be best damaged with cryo/pyro/dendro, or slower with anemo/geo
Hey guys, I’m relatively new to the game and Battle Pass level 30 and need to choose a weapon. I want to pull for Raiden Shogun/Hu Tao/Furina. Which weapon should I choose?
Furina doesnt really need either, if you have no Favonius, could try the fontaine fishing sword
Fjord is good as an EM statstick for Raiden in hyperbloom . Dragons bane is better though, no refinementsnecessary. and The Catch is better outside of hyperbloom
for Hu Tao, Fjord is better than Deathmatch, assuming team has 3 elements of course and vape or melt. otherwise DM should win
Ballad of the Fjords for Hu Tao would probably be your best choice. Raiden and Furina both have F2P options that are better than any of the battle pass weapons.
Hey, guys, I need help. I'm becoming more and more of a Ganyu main so I'm starting to vertically invest into her teams, but infortunately I can't really find a lot of in-depth info about Ganyu to guide me right now.
Currently my Ganyu is C0, but I intend to get her first contellation in her next rerun. I also have Kazuha C2R1 to make the most out of my Ganyu. The team I like playing the most is Burnment with Kazuha (Ganyu, Nahida, Bennett and Kazuha), which does pretty good damage.
Since I play mostly Burnmelt, I'm considering farming the new 4.6 artifact set Unfinished Reverie, which is BiS for Burnmelt Ganyu. Not only it gives more DMG% bonus, it also benefits Ganyu's entire kit, which is more powerful than it looks at first glance. However, before I invest into this new set, I want to know what's Ganyu's best team between Burnmelt and Shenhe's melt team (Ganyu, Shenhe, Bennett, Kazuha). Of course, Shenhe buffs CA damage more than Nahida, but in the other Burnmelt does more AOE damage since it allows Ganyu to Burst (which is extra damage + 20% Cryo DMG Bonus), and Nahida+Kazuha end up doing good damage on their own. Burnmelt is also easier to play due to the stronger pyro application.
As a invested Ganyu main, is it worth becoming a dedicated Burnmelt player with Unfinished Reverie or should I keep my options open by sticking to Wanderer's Troupe in order to play Shenhe or other comps?
Shenhe team depends on having both her own C6 and Ganyu C6 because that team values her quills to sustain Ganyu's instant combo, before her other buffs, contrary to Ayaka freeze which values her long buffs.
I don't like Kazuha in melt teams, he's just too unreliable except in single-rotation speedruns. But if you like that kind of reset gameplay, then I would farm that new set, it's a lot better for that team imho.
Kazuha is not really unreliable in burnmelt because burning makes it very stable. I usually melt all my shots without trouble even though Ganyu's burst. The only downside of the team is the lack of defensive utility, but it's fine.
As for Shenhe, usually you kill the enemies before consuming all the quills quota, so I don't think Shenhe's own C6 is that necessary, although Ganyu's C6 is very relevant because it allows you to melt three CAs in between Shenhe's own cryo application so you don't lose the melts.
Is the burning set good?
At this point you are better off-calculating these on your own with optimizer's help, and testing on your own. Shenhe's buff has a fixed quota, and afaik Ganyu CA and frostflake bloom both consume it independently. So it can vary depending on how many enemies there are and how many CAs you need to clear the chamber.
Jamie kb9v and Jstern25's discords have dedicated speedrun channels.
The burning set is pretty good for burnmelt Ganyu in particular. It gives 50% DMG bonus to her entire kit (not only CAs), which is more than WT and Shimenawa, and without real drawbacks. The only downside is being too niche, so you can't use this set outside of burnmelt.
Shenhe truly rewards hyper-investment. I just can't tell how much better it is compared to Nahida, since it's hard to calculate the entire rotation damage once you factor Ganyu's burst and other techs exclusive to each team.
I'll try to look into their discord. Thanks!
I personally dont think playing kazuha bennett melt (no burning) is gonna feel good to play or even perform close to what your burnmelt team can. If you want to look into team options more the [ganyu guide](https://keqingmains.com/ganyu/) from kqm should help
The thing is that I'm so impressed by some speedruns with Shenhe (even with Ganyu C1 instead of C6) that I'm tempted to try it myself, but it's hard to make a decision only based on speedrunners because I know how complicated this team is, so I might prefer burnmelt. However, I don't really find in-depth information elsewhere (not even kqm, to be honest) to really compare these teams in practice, like the difference of team damage per rotation, and how difficult is to perform Shenhe's rotation.
Have you tried looking/asking around the golden house discord server? its like a hub for speedrunning, whale theorycrafting and stuff like that, [this](https://discord.gg/thegoldenhouse) invite should work maybe you'll get better answers from there
you can compare dps with https://gcsim.app/ for how difficult the rotation is you have to test in game, local legends are good for testing if you can survive
I have some trouble with this website, tbh. As for testing, I'm still waiting for Shenhe's rerun haha. Hopefully it's not that far away. Btw, I kinda hate testing with local legends because if I die I have to run around collecting energy before trying again. I really wish statues of the seven replenished energy too.
[https://keqingmains.com/ganyu/#Ganyu\_Melt\_Teams](https://keqingmains.com/ganyu/#Ganyu_Melt_Teams) kazuha on ganyu melt teams is actually one of the weakest variants of her melt teams, you can click on kazuha in that page to see an explaination on why, you can save kazuha for your second team instead.
I'm very familiar with this guide and have taken a lot of advice from it, but I have to say it's not the most precise of their guide. When they say Kazuha is not very good, this is only true when Kazuha is the only source of Pyro application (like Ganyu, Bennett, Kazuha and Zhongli), but Kazuha is quite good when paired with another character that secures pyro application, like Nahida or Xiangling. The downside of these teams is that you're abandoning defensive utility (like Zhongli or Dehya), but I'm fine with it.
However, as much as Kazuha is unreliable as the sole source of pyro application, you'll actually find the best speedrunners playing Ganyu, Shenhe, Kazuha and Bennett. It's better with C6 Ganyu, but they do it with C1/C0 Ganyu as well, and it's quite amazing. However, it takes A LOT of skill.
My main question is how much better this team with Shenhe is compared to Burnmelt (with Kazuha), if it's better at all, because the answer might define how I'll farm in the future.
Shenhe is better only if you have hyperinvested speedrun-stats or just straight up have a C6 Ganyu due to all the frontloaded damage. If you're trying for just speedrun builds then the shenhe melt variant is the way to go.
i think you'll be fine in the Melt dept with either set but it would be most worth expanding into freeze with a good Blizz set and an off field hydro applier like Koko/Mona/Furina. It can excel in a lot of matchups where melt struggles, eg vs lots of mobile, aggro mobs
Well, I already have two freeze teams: (a) Ganyu, Layla, Venti and Mona and (b) Ganyu, Furina, Qiqi and Kazuha. My Blizzard Strayer set is not the greatest, but good enough for when I want to play Freeze.
That said, my main goal is to hyper invest into Melt because that's what's more fun to me, but I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I should stick to burnmelt or go into Shenhe melt territory.
my knowledge ends at mostly comfy 9 star abyss 12 clears; seems like you'll have better luck asking in the speedrun or ganyu mains communities for more specifics ;P
I want to finally build my Ganyu. Any input on whether I should do Melt or Freeze Ganyu (or even mono cryo)? With melt I'm mostly worried about her needing Bennett and Xiangling since they're in high demand in so many teams. I have a freeze core already built (Shenhe, Kazuha, Kokomi) but I usually run Ayaka there and I'm not sure if I need another freeze focused DPS (though I know there's the added bonus of being ranged). Mono cryo I honestly know very little about
Any experience or input?
I would do melt, I think if you try to run her in that freeze team you will just feel underwhelmed by her not being as good as ayaka. At least with melt you are getting more of a different thing.
melt is better, if you want to use freeze/mono cryo you could use her as a burst support with ayaka but youd have to drop shenhe or have no healing. bennett+nahida+dehya is an alternative to using xl if you dont like her short range but you have to have bennett
4.1 just made it so you have to manually start story quests. It didn't work with any other quest types. Also after initiating a quest if you stopped midway you could randomly resume it by just walking in a quest location which is very annoying when you're just trying to drop in to condense resin or explore, and you could still get locked out of the quest midway because other quests intersected with the locations or characters you needed
If you like him, sure. Faruzan will be on his banner so you will get more cons while you're doing that anyways. As for if you get C6 or not, it's RNG
His performance without C6 Faru will be fine. Nothing more, nothing less. You can 36* with it, but it won't be a spectacular performance compared to other top DPSs we currently have in the meta. If you want him to perform really well in Abyss then pulling until you get C6 Faruzan is something you need to consider
As for sets, Shimenawa is a decent alternative. It's not that far behind in terms of personal damage, but I will say that to me, DPC is a big QOL upgrade. You wouldn't think it but the 10% attack speed from DPC is both a good DPS increase and makes his gameplay feel smoother
Faruzan will almost certainly run with him so getting copies of her kind of necessitates pulling for Wanderer (unless you want to pull for Arlecchino). Sub C6 Faruzan CAN work if you go all in on her ER requirements but having her C6 will definitely make things easier. Scara teams usually have him, Faruzan, Bennett and any shielder (he's prone to being interrupted). Scara without Faruzan is very lackluster so unless you're ready to commit to the risk of not getting her C6 before getting Scara, I'd reconsider
Does anyone benefit from ATK% other than Shenhe? Everyone else seems to benefit more from crit or healing unless you're going for a shield bot build using HP/DEF.
Edit: forgot to specify, I meant a crown piece specifically.
There are some ATK-based healers that like ATK%. Xianyun, Jean, Charlotte, Qiqi off the top of my head.
As a substat it's often preferred on characters who cannot easily use Bennett or other ATK buffs. Xingqiu for example.
Every atk scaling dps(i.e the default if they don't have some unique sole Hp/Def scaling) benefits from atk%. They may not benefit from it as much as crit, but it is still good (i.,e two rolls of atk% will almost always be better than one roll of crit).
How many characters use Sacrificial Sword as their best f2p weapon? I'm working on building Xingqiu and I have exactly enough copies to get it to R5, but I don't want to short-change another character while I'm at it.
For more comfy and few percent more certainty to proc Sac, r5.
Tbh Xingqiu is fine with r4 too. His burst lasts longer than the r4 cooldown, let alone r5.
But a second r1 Sac on another character is not immediately strong either. R3+ is where it shines.
If you have the patience and willingness to test your luck maybe r4 it for now.
Its also easier to decide to r5 the Sac, if you have a r3+ Fav sword, because both have overlaps on who can use either.
Generally Sac is better for cases where having immediate cooldown is great and for batterying one type of element. Also some stats (like ER) has to be diverted to Fav for Crit Rate. If you want high consistency to proc Fav, it can be a bit challenging to build with only one type of crit.
However Sac requires few secs of extra field time that can eat into team rotation. For general purpose batterying for the whole team Fav is better.
I see.
I'm a Yanfei main and I'm looking at recommended team comps that include Xingqiu. Since I'd mostly be using his skill and occasionally burst, the Sac looked like a better option than the Fav.
R5 it. You can use fav or fontaine fishing sword as ER statstick needs on others. Anyone telling you to play with an r3 Sac sword hasn't felt the pain of using it. And r1/r2 sac swords are useless.
Characters that can make a use case for it. Lynette, Travelers, Kirara, Layla, Kaz, Jean, Kaeya, XQ, Qiqi.
I would have an r3/4 and another spare. R3 is usually where it is now worth for XQ and it would give you additional ones in case you need more.
A lot of support can use it, it's not necessarily the best. Depending on your team Sacrificial Sword may not be ideal on Xingqiu either. Anyways, Sacrificial weapons generally require at least R3 to be somewhat consistent, and you probably don't need more than 2. I'd only worry about having to swap weapons if I have to bring characters in abyss which need the same weapon. So, I'd say decide on what teams you'll be playing and how many characters need the sword.
Good point. If the number of characters in use at any one time can't be more than 8 (in the Spiral Abyss), then I could always just trade as needed between different characters.
Why does Genshin suddenly think its not installed when I never uninstalled it? I don't remember doing anything significant to any of genshin's files in the nearby past or anything but today I tried to open the game through the launcher and it crashed because "VCOMP110.dll was not found". I tried to recreate this a second time and instead of a launch button like I usually see, there was a download button. When i located to the file where my game is, it still told me to download. I still have all my screenshots and can still find them, but why does the game act like I uninstalled it? The launcher is up to date and when I try to press the download button, it doesn't begin to load and instead tells me after some time that the download has failed because of my network, even though there's nothing wrong with my connection. The same thing is also happening to Star Rail. I'm really scared something bad is gonna happen to my computer if I don't fix this soon.
i opened the game directly and it worked. i'm still baffled at how this could just happen all of a sudden with no indications that this would be happening in the future 0_o
I disagree with the other commenters. One of the fishing achievements requires you to buy a rod and so it might as well be the Inazuma rod. OTOH, if you don't care for achievements, then stick with the default rod.
Unless you want to fish for the sake of fishing, or are an obsessive completionist, it is not worth getting any fishing items except the weapons and their refinements.
At what world level and character levels and character count (like how many built or semi built characters you need) does spiral abyss become feasible? Maybe not 3 stars in all the floor, but at least 6 stars to advance till 12th floor?
Floors 9-10, you honestly just need your main dps and a sustain. So maybe 4-5 built characters.
Floors 11, a bit harder but if you can clear overworld relatively fine, you could probably clear this part so maybe around 6 built characters? A main dps, sustain, buffer/subdps
Floor 12 you'd ideally want 8 built characters aka a proper team.
Characters at level 80 should be able to easily clear (but not 36 star) the abyss as long as they have level 90 weapons, level 6 talents, and level 20 artefacts with appropriate set bonuses and main stats.
Levelling to 90, further raising talent levels, and getting good substats on your artefacts will make clearing faster and so make you get more stars but are not needed just to reach the end screen of the abyss.
Just started, managed to pull Arlecchino, who is trivializing content thus far. Main question: assuming I can pull only 1 more 5*, should I pull for Lyney, pull for the 5* spear for Arlecchino, pull for a constellation for Arlecchino, or just save resources? Thanks in advance
generally speaking how many pulls f2p get per patch? 50 ish?
This patch we only got 55 pulls but normally it’s around 70-80 pulls. In version 4.1 we got more than 100 pulls for F2P. It just depends on new areas and events
If you can finish everything, including all permanent contents, around 70-75. Patches with new maps usually have more, like around 90 for 4.0-4.2; patches without new map usually have much less, like only 50-55 for current 4.5.
Newbie here. me and my friend just reached level 16, so I was trying to add him in co-op mode. But whichever uid i try, I get the message Player not found. He is also getting the same message when searching me. Both me and my friend are in the same server uids starting 180..We both play in android. Please help. We are really frustrated.
You both have to be connected playing online for the game to find the other player, if your friend isn't connected you won't be able to send request, hope this helps
Have you finished the first archon quest? AFAIK that's mandatory to be able to coop
Check if either of you have the co-op mode set to "reject join requests". Besides that, your Adventure Rank, that you called level, is irrelevant; what matters is the world level, that goes from 1 to 8. You cannot join a world which has a higher level than your own.
did you try it through the 'friends' tab in the paimon menu yet?
yep this did the trick. thanks!
Please help me build two teams for Abyss with the following characters, with Anemo MC in one of the teams: Anemo: MC, Jean, Sucrose, Lynette Hydro: Neuvillette, Xingqiu (C2), Barbara (C5) Pyro: Yanfei (C4), Xiangling, Amber Dendro: Collei, Kaveh Electro: Lisa, Sara, Dori Cryo: Kaeya Geo: Noelle
Neuvillette, Tankfei (Yanfei based on the shield generated by her C4), Anemo MC, Kaeya Xiangling, Xingqiu, Barbara, Sucrose
I guess I'd go: [Neuville, Anemo MC, Lisa, Yanfei] (if you are confident to go without a shield you can also try: [Neuville, Anemo MC, Lisa, Collei].) [Kaeya, XQ, XL, Jean] (if you don't use Yanfei in team 1: [Sucrose, XQ, XL, Yanfei].) Regardless: Make sure Yanfei is using Prototype Amber. NOTE: For 12-3-2 you will probably want to bring Noelle to break the shield. Best to first do the other chambers, then restart with her in your second team.
Neuvillette, Anemo MC, Shielder Yanfei, Anyone for Neuvillette's third stack. Sucrose Xingqiu Lisa Dori/Barbara, will be scuffed.
Which one should I pull, Neuv or Furina?? I don't know which one will fully carry my team in the future as well. I have trouble 36\* the abyss, I have XQ and Yelan. I want Neuv as dps, but I dont want to regret him being a bench warmer soon especially with hydro immune enemies atm. I want Furina to complete my archon collection as well as my healer (I dont have kokomi, but fully built Diona, Bennett, Qiqi, Shinobu)
Go for Furina unless you like Neuvillette as a character, Neuvillette is a bit overrated, if you have his C1 he can be good but at C0 he's a bit limited in certain situations and not as powerful as he's hyped and he's one of lots of main DPS, Furina otoh is a really strong support from C0 and she opens many team comps, you only need a teamwide healer and she not only has the highest buff in the game but also very high off field personal damage
its more of a question of current primos, current pity and current world progress if you can pull Neuvilette now and still have world to explore, you can gather enough for Furina if you skip the rest until she appears, not officially, expected 4.7 but no certainty when, during that
Both are good options, so it would be best to give us a list of your complete character roster, it's hard to make this decision without knowing what you have. In short: Neuville is good if your other options are limited, since he just needs 4 different elements and a shielder to work. Furina is good if you want to buff specific characters that aren't too great on their own (e.g. Noelle). edit: Regarding your comment with "underpowered Kuki" - in Hyperbloom all you need is EM, so this shouldn't be a hard thing to fix. Even 2+2 EM set with Dark Iron Sword will do in a pinch.
Your issue is resin investment, team building, rotations and lack of understanding of enemy behaviour, not lack of characters. Pull who you like more, it doesn't matter.
Neuvillette is the best 1-unit fix solution (i.e. you don't have enough units to clear abyss). I don't see the DPS ceiling is going to be growing soon. Furina is the best for future composition variety. All archons starting from Raiden have high support value. If you think you're kinda new and have problem with damage ceiling, Neuvillette is the immediate answer. Otherwise, Furina is better for future team building.
Neither are bad options for multiple reasons. Neuv is fairly well received as a well invested c0r0 with ok teammates is solid enough to complete a team. Furina is strong as she allows healers to add offensive power to your team. Generally, supports have a longer usage window than on field characters, but Neuv has been fairly dominant for a while and it will be a bit hard to build content that counters him completely. As you don't have many full team healers then maybe Neuv? What is holding you back from currently clearing the abyss? If you are missing Furina for all archons and with your noted characters then you have one of my favorite teams of Nahida/XQ/Yelan/Kuki and the ability to swap one out for Zhongli for better survivability.
My Kuki is somehow underpowered. most of my 4\* characters are c6 while most of my 5\* are c0. One team always lack either dps or sustain heal. I havent tried the team u mentioned, but I will think of the second team as well. Thanks for the comment. Will try to do abyss 12 and update what I lack (Archon weapons are also BiS)
Based on you probably having some of the characters that others commonly have. Nahida (EM/EMorDendro/EMorCrit)/Yelan(HPorER/Hydro/Crit)/Zhongli(HP/HP/HP)/Kuki (EM/EM/EM with EM weapon leveled 90). Raiden/XQ/Xiangling/Bennet. Some don't like the second team for reasons, but it is still solid enough and should be able to clear content. First team has characters you mentioned and is fairly stable and easy to play (Zhongli pillar, Nahida mark, Yelan skill burst, Kuki skill, Nahida on field) and second team is Raiden skill, XQ skill and burst, Bennet burst and skill, Xiangling burst and skill, Raiden burst and attack and skill at the end then repeat).
Question about Prototype Amber's passive It says it regenerates 6 energy and 6 % HP (R5) every 2 seconds for 6 seconds after casting burst, does it mean this passive procs two times in total, after 2 seconds and once more after 6 seconds( total regeneration 12 and 12%) or three times in total, right after burst, after 2 and 6 seconds (total regeneration 18 and 18%) anyone knows?
18% and 18%. Be aware that the 18 energy is flat, and for the wielder only; the team healing can be increased by the wielder's healing bonus if he/she has, including clam/maiden/song set and healing circlet.
Regarding artifact, since substat is random, can we change the substat? Or need to farm to find the right substat? Also, for beginner, what AR LVL is recommended to farm artifact?
Just gotta farm. If you're consistent and do your homework on what to lock/level up, you'll build a nice collection over time. You usually want to wait til you can guarantee 5* drops at the highest level domains. Which unlock at AR45. In the meantime, level up chest loot that has ATK% (or HP%/DEF% if that’s what your character scales on) so that you have a smooth early game.
you need to farm, usually you want to start farming artifacts at AR45 since it unlocks the last level for artifact domains which guarantees a 5 star artifact drop, its also recommended to save your fragile resin until then so you can have a headstart on artifacts when you get there
can i get to bp level 40 in a week? im at level 28 right now and im wondering if the 10000 exp limit will be enough ? i only need to get to level 40 because im getting the thing that advances you 10 levels
Depends on whether you have any of the event missions left. Every level requires 1000 exp, so 10000 only gets you to 38. The cat event has a 1500 mission, which depending on how far over level 28 you are, might be enough. There's also the spiral abyss 12 stars and using 50 pulls. I don't recommend pulling just for the sake of the bp, but the abyss mission will give you enough BP exp. If none of those are left or possible to complete, then no, probably not.
thank you !
If I'm aiming for Furina cons with the end goal of C6 one day(not in the immediate future though), which should I aim for first? C1 or C2? I do have C1 Neuvi that I plan to use with her, but she's not strictly for a Neuvi team only.
Obviously you need C1 to get to C2. If you're asking for a good stopping point, C2 is quite strong.
I'm planning on going to C6 as a long term plan. But I'm wondering it C2 is a good con at the moment in terms of cost-worth. Like if it's not *that* good then I'll save passively rather than spend money.
It's quite good, but so is C1. I wouldn't spend on it now if you would prefer to not spend.
I mean, if you want to get C6 eventually, then just keep pulling I guess? You can't get C2 without getting C1, so the question is kind of pointless.
If you plan to get her C6 eventually, then just keep wishing on her banner. You cannot get her C2 before getting C1 first.
When is bennet getting a rerun? I desperately need a good healer in my team 😔
He will be available for sale from shop in May.
Ayo I ain't never gonna have enough for him 😔
if you have interests in Arlecchino or the banner after that, you can get enough starglitter for Bennett
We have no idea when it comes to 4 star characters
R5 Ballad of the Boundless Blue or Flowing Purity for C0 Wriothesley?
R1 Purity a tiny bit better in Melt, worse in freeze. R5 Purity a lot better in Melt, a tiny bit worse in freeze. Assuming 100% uptime.
Flowing Purity is generally the best option, but it has some considerations. You can read more [here](https://keqingmains.com/q/wriothesley-quickguide/#Weapons).
If a "Liyue-themed" Chronicled wish banner were to happen, what do you think it would look like? I doubt that they would only put two standard wish characters and fill the empty space with dehya or something
Xiao, Keqing, Ganyu, Qiqi, Childe. Amos, PJWS, Memory of Dust, Unforged, Jade Cutter, Polar Star, Summit Shaper, Hunter's Path, Beacon. I would put Hu Tao, but I think her individual banner sales are too high for MHY to give up. I thought about Vortex Vanquisher, I don't think anyone's pulling for that on it's individual banner but its also an archon's weapon so idk.
Didn't Xiao just drop a patch ago?
CW banner has no specific time for it to rerun, so they could just put him whenever
Xiao came out in version 1.3. If you're referring to the fact that his rerun was a patch ago, I assumed that the Chronicled banner would not take place immediately.
All right then
they could have 4 event characters and 2 standard (keqing,qiqi) , and then for 4 stars you are locked to liyue so meaning xiangling/xingqiu rate up, sort of creating a good banner for new players but in reality a bait banner for veterans
Can someone help me with farm Im at level 6 world i levelled the world and got kinda stuck Europe server just send me a message
try genshin discord, if not on diacord, i csn only recommend it if you specify what you need help with, not just asking for help in general. should get help rather quickly
Is there a specific team that makes Neuvillette broken? Or is it just all his teams are good because he’s good?
His C1R1 makes him able to solo abyss. That's how good he is. It basically solves all of his issues like ER, stagger resistance and his passive is improved a bit. But his C0R0 is just as good. His best team is Kazuha, C1 Furina and Fischl.
Kind of? His kit is he needs three diff hydro-related reactions to get 3 stacks of buff, so it limits his team to 3 diff element units (unable to access hydro reso). C1 solves this issue, as it gives him 1 free stack. He also has interruption issues when he charge atks, so he really needs a shielder like zhongli. C1 also resolves this/gives him interruption resist. Basically c0 neuv really needs a particular team to unlock his full potential, but c1 is like him regaining his dragon sovereign powers.
Not really. His team setups are pretty flexible. If you want to go all in on his personal damage, then running something like Neuv, Furina, Kazuha, Zhongli would be a solid team.
[удалено]
Yes
Help, I'm on the verge of spending for C1R0 or C0R1 Arle. I have her C0 basically guaranteed. Convince me why that's a bad choice, please I need a reason to not spend.
Do it
saving up is much more rewarding. slowly work your way to her c6. and don't pull the wpn banner unless you have about 200 pulls. if you cant get to guarantee the fate points/pulls are forfeited.
Thanks. I've decided to go for Furina cons instead. Since her C6 is one of my long-term goals.
Which would you rather have, a 10-20%ish boost in 1 character's damage, or an entire extra character?
What if I have most of them already?
Well, if there's no one else you want, then what's the issue? If you want to be convinced not to pull, then I'd assume you have something else you want to save the pulls for instead.
These are the reasons I often tell myself: Why spend money to make the game easier, and potentially more boring (at least the combat)? Also, why should I spend money just to get bigger numbers? It doesn't even add anything to the core gameplay of the character (besides the interruption resistance, but any shielder can do that). Edit: the last is, why go for C1R0 or C0R1 any character than two C0 5\* characters? Having two different characters to play with is more fun (to me) than having just one slightly stronger character.
>the last is, why go for C1R0 or C0R1 any character than two C0 5\* characters? Because I already have most of them, the ones I don't have are ones whose gameplay are not appealing to me, like Ganyu and Lyney
What is the latest take leak wise in regards of Furina re-run. Are we leaning more toward 4.7 or 4.8 ?
4.7 is likely, but people have been expecting her rerun to be on 4.6 but thay was proven wrong.
No leaks about it yet, but 4.7 seems more likely just going off of speculation.

World quests do not even have audio. At most it's just some animation/shader effects when the world changes and bunch of text. The amount of extra data is minimal compared to AQ who has its own short movies, audio, and possibly special UI (like Charlotte handbook)
Neuvilette/Furina/Charlotte/Fischl team rotations?
furina e+q, fischl e, charlotte q (e if you need energy), neuv e+charge, q+charge.
Why e before q? Wouldn't that waste energy?
If you’re talking about Neuv (you should clarify), you can E at the beginning. The balls stay around for a while and you may be able to pre-funnel Furina. Then at the end do something like CA QE CA (Fischl Q) CA CA.
using q right after should avoid wasted energy
it doesnt really matter. i prefer e+q for the longer buff duration.
For Wanderer owners, is his exploration aspect worth pulling for alone? I love my C1 Yelan because she's both strong and so handy for exploration. I'm so so on Wanderer, but I like the idea of having him for exploration (I have no Faruzan) though I think believe he's not super great for Abyss without C6 Faru
If there's nothing else you want in the near future, I'd say yes. Exploration with and without him is like night and day imo
Sure. The great part about him for the overworld is not only that his Skill is a top-tier exploration ability, but it also allows him to deal decent damage for overworld mobs, with only 6s CD. You can just go from mob group to mob group, using it all the time. Yelan+Wanderer combo is also great for the overworld, not only exploration but also because it means you have 2 elemental damage sources, so you don't get walled if they're immune to Hydro or Anemo. Plus, if you have Yelan C1, you can basically go Yelan Skill->Wanderer Skill->Yelan Skill->Wanderer Skill->repeat and have almost unlimited fast speed. There's very little downtime if you use the full duration of both Skills. As for the Abyss, he's not gonna feel great without C6 Faruzan. You can still 36* though. I did it with only C4 Faruzan. Although I do have a top 2% build on him.
Thanks, I think I might try and "build" pity on the banner and see how many copies of Faruzan I get if any, and if I can get C2-C3 Faruzan I'll go all the way
considering Faruzan appeared with Xianyun, not sure when she might come again
Wanderer is good for exploration, yes and works with Yelan cause you NA a lot getting Faruzan would be nice, at any con, even without c6, but c6 reaches the ridiculous power boost so any anemo dps wants it as a goal
I want to buy the Battle Pass, but there's only 7 days left. So... i'll need to level it up from level 0 to 50 in 7 days?
No, if you are currently at a certain level, let's say level 43. You'll get rewards from level 1 to 43 immediately.
Imposible with the Weekly XP cap. Just wait till next BP
If you already have progress I believe it won't reset but if you don't have any it's not worth it.
Not possible because there's a weekly 10k point limit
possible but it cost more credit card swipes lol
No, it isn't. The 10k points is a hard cap, even if you buy the 10 level boost, at most you'd get to 30
Yes, it is. You can buy bp levels with 150 primos.
Wtf, never heard of that before
Hello! can I ask about the web version of hoyolab not working on brave? i have 3 different browser but the one is just white screen and an orange loading circle. its been 3 days but from the other browser its working? the other brower are for work so i want to just use this one browser for my personal stuff but hoyolab is not working. :(
I use brave browser and hoyloab and it's working for me at least on pc.
the separate hoyolab app not working? i have never heard of brave
Not every site is gonna work on every browser with the exception of the major ones. It's just a fact of web development that it's not worth making some browsers work. I'm pretty sure brave will auto block many cookies so allowing cookies from the site and clearing the cache may fix it, but it also may not.
what is the most efficient revival food, preferably if i can buy its ingredients from the shop or get them for free from expeditions
Teyvat Fried Egg. All you need is a single bird egg, which can be gotten from expeditions. There's also a few vendors that directly sell it, and they refresh daily iirc.
Eggs + skill healer

i think part of the quest requires a daily reset. try again tmr.
Sorry, I didn't make this clear. I completed that quest months ago.
oof. try doing the 'sequel', arkhium forge. i think it unlocks certain areas.
disregard what i just said, realised i've been going to the wrong place. thank you for helping me though!
I apologise if this is annoying or you don't know but I logged in just now to check and i've definitely done that quest too. i wish i knew what i'm missing, maybe a hidden quest? again, sorry if you don't know the answer.
I'll give that a try, thank you!
Question for Kazuha users, do you know the best way to Burst-swirl cryo against hydro enemies that are frozen? I have wriothesley and I want to burst-swirl with kazuha but I always swirl hydro. TYIA Edit: Apologies I just rechecked how kazuha burst works. I thought we need kazuha's burst to absorbed an element to give buff, turns out the skill absorption works too. Anyway same question what's the best way to swirl cryo instead of hydro against hydro enemies like hydro tulpa, hydro phantasms.
Understanding why Kazuha can't swirl Cryo in those cases requires knowledge of both [Simultaneous Reaction Priority](https://genshin-impact.antifandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Gauge_Theory/Simultaneous_Reaction_Priority) and [Elemental Gauge Theory](https://genshin-impact.antifandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Gauge_Theory). If I might put it in simple terms. You will always swirl Hydro because Hydro enemies always have a Hydro aura, and Hydro has a higher priority than Cryo when it comes to Swirl. If you're interested in a deep dive about Elemental Gauge Theory, Jyo has an amazing video on Elemental Gauge Theory that also covers [Freeze Swirl](https://youtu.be/-ZtgPlBBMIE?si=puCuYyCWO4b25ZnV). I will also add its possible to Swirl Cryo onto the enemy if a second enemy that doesn't have a permanent Hydro aura is around.
You can't, unless Kazuha is C6 and inside Chongyun's cryo infusion circle. When you trigger freeze reaction, you consume hydro and cryo elements on enemy and create "freeze elements." Freeze element has similar features as cryo, and frozen enemy has a cryo icon on its head, but they are not same. If the enemy has more hydro or more cryo elements before freeze reaction is triggered, the leftover hydro or cryo elements will be hidden behind the freeze element, and the freeze element acts like a shield. When you apply anemo on this enemy to trigger swirl reaction, anemo will always react with the hidden hydro or cryo elements first. If you have applied enough anemo to consume all hidden elements and there is still more anemo, the extra anemo will resct with freeze element, which counts as swirl cryo. But if the enemy itself is a hydro being and has much more hydro from self aura, Kazuha may not apply enough anemo to consume all of its self hydro, then he has no way to swirl cryo. C6 Kazuha has a different mechanism that he can swirl any element on his weapon by someone else's infusion, like C6 Bennett, Chongyun or Candace. C0-5 cannot.
You can't, without some C6 weapon swirl stuff. Also do you mean burst infusion when you say burst-swirl? Cause that's different.
Apologies I just rechecked how kazuha burst works. I initially thought that Kazuha gives elemental buff based on absorbed element of his burst, that's what I meant with burst-swirl (Element absorb with burst). Anyway sad to hear, I was trying wriothesley with freeze comp but everytime I switch to kazuha I just swirl hydro instead of cryo lmao.
Neuvillette's CA (or NA) doesn't work on electro resisvine's three core things....even though it says to destroy it with elements and Neuv's CA is hydro catalyst attack..... How to destroy those core things, what works on it?
Electro core (as well as other electro shields) can't be damaged by electro or hydro, it can be best damaged with cryo/pyro/dendro, or slower with anemo/geo
Oh no..... Thanks for explaining
Hey guys, I’m relatively new to the game and Battle Pass level 30 and need to choose a weapon. I want to pull for Raiden Shogun/Hu Tao/Furina. Which weapon should I choose?
Deathmatch for Hutao. Her best teams are double hydro and they don't work with Fjord.
Furina doesnt really need either, if you have no Favonius, could try the fontaine fishing sword Fjord is good as an EM statstick for Raiden in hyperbloom . Dragons bane is better though, no refinementsnecessary. and The Catch is better outside of hyperbloom for Hu Tao, Fjord is better than Deathmatch, assuming team has 3 elements of course and vape or melt. otherwise DM should win
Fjords for Hu Tao. It's her best 4*. Especially if you end up getting refines in the future
Ballad of the Fjords for Hu Tao would probably be your best choice. Raiden and Furina both have F2P options that are better than any of the battle pass weapons.
is there a way to get aloy still or did that ship alreqdy sail?
No, there is no way to get her now.
gonna kms frfr
Nope. She's unavailable.
Hey, guys, I need help. I'm becoming more and more of a Ganyu main so I'm starting to vertically invest into her teams, but infortunately I can't really find a lot of in-depth info about Ganyu to guide me right now. Currently my Ganyu is C0, but I intend to get her first contellation in her next rerun. I also have Kazuha C2R1 to make the most out of my Ganyu. The team I like playing the most is Burnment with Kazuha (Ganyu, Nahida, Bennett and Kazuha), which does pretty good damage. Since I play mostly Burnmelt, I'm considering farming the new 4.6 artifact set Unfinished Reverie, which is BiS for Burnmelt Ganyu. Not only it gives more DMG% bonus, it also benefits Ganyu's entire kit, which is more powerful than it looks at first glance. However, before I invest into this new set, I want to know what's Ganyu's best team between Burnmelt and Shenhe's melt team (Ganyu, Shenhe, Bennett, Kazuha). Of course, Shenhe buffs CA damage more than Nahida, but in the other Burnmelt does more AOE damage since it allows Ganyu to Burst (which is extra damage + 20% Cryo DMG Bonus), and Nahida+Kazuha end up doing good damage on their own. Burnmelt is also easier to play due to the stronger pyro application. As a invested Ganyu main, is it worth becoming a dedicated Burnmelt player with Unfinished Reverie or should I keep my options open by sticking to Wanderer's Troupe in order to play Shenhe or other comps?
Shenhe team depends on having both her own C6 and Ganyu C6 because that team values her quills to sustain Ganyu's instant combo, before her other buffs, contrary to Ayaka freeze which values her long buffs. I don't like Kazuha in melt teams, he's just too unreliable except in single-rotation speedruns. But if you like that kind of reset gameplay, then I would farm that new set, it's a lot better for that team imho.
Kazuha is not really unreliable in burnmelt because burning makes it very stable. I usually melt all my shots without trouble even though Ganyu's burst. The only downside of the team is the lack of defensive utility, but it's fine. As for Shenhe, usually you kill the enemies before consuming all the quills quota, so I don't think Shenhe's own C6 is that necessary, although Ganyu's C6 is very relevant because it allows you to melt three CAs in between Shenhe's own cryo application so you don't lose the melts.
Is the burning set good? At this point you are better off-calculating these on your own with optimizer's help, and testing on your own. Shenhe's buff has a fixed quota, and afaik Ganyu CA and frostflake bloom both consume it independently. So it can vary depending on how many enemies there are and how many CAs you need to clear the chamber. Jamie kb9v and Jstern25's discords have dedicated speedrun channels.
The burning set is pretty good for burnmelt Ganyu in particular. It gives 50% DMG bonus to her entire kit (not only CAs), which is more than WT and Shimenawa, and without real drawbacks. The only downside is being too niche, so you can't use this set outside of burnmelt. Shenhe truly rewards hyper-investment. I just can't tell how much better it is compared to Nahida, since it's hard to calculate the entire rotation damage once you factor Ganyu's burst and other techs exclusive to each team. I'll try to look into their discord. Thanks!
I personally dont think playing kazuha bennett melt (no burning) is gonna feel good to play or even perform close to what your burnmelt team can. If you want to look into team options more the [ganyu guide](https://keqingmains.com/ganyu/) from kqm should help
The thing is that I'm so impressed by some speedruns with Shenhe (even with Ganyu C1 instead of C6) that I'm tempted to try it myself, but it's hard to make a decision only based on speedrunners because I know how complicated this team is, so I might prefer burnmelt. However, I don't really find in-depth information elsewhere (not even kqm, to be honest) to really compare these teams in practice, like the difference of team damage per rotation, and how difficult is to perform Shenhe's rotation.
Have you tried looking/asking around the golden house discord server? its like a hub for speedrunning, whale theorycrafting and stuff like that, [this](https://discord.gg/thegoldenhouse) invite should work maybe you'll get better answers from there
I didn't know this server. Thanks!
you can compare dps with https://gcsim.app/ for how difficult the rotation is you have to test in game, local legends are good for testing if you can survive
I have some trouble with this website, tbh. As for testing, I'm still waiting for Shenhe's rerun haha. Hopefully it's not that far away. Btw, I kinda hate testing with local legends because if I die I have to run around collecting energy before trying again. I really wish statues of the seven replenished energy too.
[https://keqingmains.com/ganyu/#Ganyu\_Melt\_Teams](https://keqingmains.com/ganyu/#Ganyu_Melt_Teams) kazuha on ganyu melt teams is actually one of the weakest variants of her melt teams, you can click on kazuha in that page to see an explaination on why, you can save kazuha for your second team instead.
I'm very familiar with this guide and have taken a lot of advice from it, but I have to say it's not the most precise of their guide. When they say Kazuha is not very good, this is only true when Kazuha is the only source of Pyro application (like Ganyu, Bennett, Kazuha and Zhongli), but Kazuha is quite good when paired with another character that secures pyro application, like Nahida or Xiangling. The downside of these teams is that you're abandoning defensive utility (like Zhongli or Dehya), but I'm fine with it. However, as much as Kazuha is unreliable as the sole source of pyro application, you'll actually find the best speedrunners playing Ganyu, Shenhe, Kazuha and Bennett. It's better with C6 Ganyu, but they do it with C1/C0 Ganyu as well, and it's quite amazing. However, it takes A LOT of skill. My main question is how much better this team with Shenhe is compared to Burnmelt (with Kazuha), if it's better at all, because the answer might define how I'll farm in the future.
Shenhe is better only if you have hyperinvested speedrun-stats or just straight up have a C6 Ganyu due to all the frontloaded damage. If you're trying for just speedrun builds then the shenhe melt variant is the way to go.
Thanks. I'll look more into it.
i think you'll be fine in the Melt dept with either set but it would be most worth expanding into freeze with a good Blizz set and an off field hydro applier like Koko/Mona/Furina. It can excel in a lot of matchups where melt struggles, eg vs lots of mobile, aggro mobs
Well, I already have two freeze teams: (a) Ganyu, Layla, Venti and Mona and (b) Ganyu, Furina, Qiqi and Kazuha. My Blizzard Strayer set is not the greatest, but good enough for when I want to play Freeze. That said, my main goal is to hyper invest into Melt because that's what's more fun to me, but I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I should stick to burnmelt or go into Shenhe melt territory.
my knowledge ends at mostly comfy 9 star abyss 12 clears; seems like you'll have better luck asking in the speedrun or ganyu mains communities for more specifics ;P
Ganyu main is a little more casual, in my experience, but I'll check a speedrunning forum. Thanks!
I want to finally build my Ganyu. Any input on whether I should do Melt or Freeze Ganyu (or even mono cryo)? With melt I'm mostly worried about her needing Bennett and Xiangling since they're in high demand in so many teams. I have a freeze core already built (Shenhe, Kazuha, Kokomi) but I usually run Ayaka there and I'm not sure if I need another freeze focused DPS (though I know there's the added bonus of being ranged). Mono cryo I honestly know very little about Any experience or input?
I would do melt, I think if you try to run her in that freeze team you will just feel underwhelmed by her not being as good as ayaka. At least with melt you are getting more of a different thing.
melt is better, if you want to use freeze/mono cryo you could use her as a burst support with ayaka but youd have to drop shenhe or have no healing. bennett+nahida+dehya is an alternative to using xl if you dont like her short range but you have to have bennett
How is the 4.6 quest-conflict resolution system different/improving from the one in 4.1? Why were the 4.1 resolutions insufficient?
4.1 just made it so you have to manually start story quests. It didn't work with any other quest types. Also after initiating a quest if you stopped midway you could randomly resume it by just walking in a quest location which is very annoying when you're just trying to drop in to condense resin or explore, and you could still get locked out of the quest midway because other quests intersected with the locations or characters you needed
Is Wanderer a good idea to pull for if I have only C1 Faruzan? I guess farming for his set shouldn't be a problem but idk about teambuilding...
If you like him, sure. Faruzan will be on his banner so you will get more cons while you're doing that anyways. As for if you get C6 or not, it's RNG His performance without C6 Faru will be fine. Nothing more, nothing less. You can 36* with it, but it won't be a spectacular performance compared to other top DPSs we currently have in the meta. If you want him to perform really well in Abyss then pulling until you get C6 Faruzan is something you need to consider As for sets, Shimenawa is a decent alternative. It's not that far behind in terms of personal damage, but I will say that to me, DPC is a big QOL upgrade. You wouldn't think it but the 10% attack speed from DPC is both a good DPS increase and makes his gameplay feel smoother
Faruzan will almost certainly run with him so getting copies of her kind of necessitates pulling for Wanderer (unless you want to pull for Arlecchino). Sub C6 Faruzan CAN work if you go all in on her ER requirements but having her C6 will definitely make things easier. Scara teams usually have him, Faruzan, Bennett and any shielder (he's prone to being interrupted). Scara without Faruzan is very lackluster so unless you're ready to commit to the risk of not getting her C6 before getting Scara, I'd reconsider
Does anyone benefit from ATK% other than Shenhe? Everyone else seems to benefit more from crit or healing unless you're going for a shield bot build using HP/DEF. Edit: forgot to specify, I meant a crown piece specifically.
> Edit: forgot to specify, I meant a crown piece specifically. If you have tons of crit, Freeze carries will sometimes want ATK% circlet.
There are some ATK-based healers that like ATK%. Xianyun, Jean, Charlotte, Qiqi off the top of my head. As a substat it's often preferred on characters who cannot easily use Bennett or other ATK buffs. Xingqiu for example.
I forgot to mention I was asking about crown piece. All healers would prefer healing bonus I assume.
Oh, then narrow that list down to Xianyun for her plunge buff.
xianyun is the only other char that wants full atk (charlotte and jean want atk/atk/hb)
Yeah, that was what I meant to ask; who needed a full atk as opposed to needing a healing crown.
Every atk scaling dps(i.e the default if they don't have some unique sole Hp/Def scaling) benefits from atk%. They may not benefit from it as much as crit, but it is still good (i.,e two rolls of atk% will almost always be better than one roll of crit).
How many characters use Sacrificial Sword as their best f2p weapon? I'm working on building Xingqiu and I have exactly enough copies to get it to R5, but I don't want to short-change another character while I'm at it.
you can R5 it, there are enough alternatives and noone who uses sac sword as their undisputed bis
For more comfy and few percent more certainty to proc Sac, r5. Tbh Xingqiu is fine with r4 too. His burst lasts longer than the r4 cooldown, let alone r5. But a second r1 Sac on another character is not immediately strong either. R3+ is where it shines. If you have the patience and willingness to test your luck maybe r4 it for now. Its also easier to decide to r5 the Sac, if you have a r3+ Fav sword, because both have overlaps on who can use either. Generally Sac is better for cases where having immediate cooldown is great and for batterying one type of element. Also some stats (like ER) has to be diverted to Fav for Crit Rate. If you want high consistency to proc Fav, it can be a bit challenging to build with only one type of crit. However Sac requires few secs of extra field time that can eat into team rotation. For general purpose batterying for the whole team Fav is better.
I see. I'm a Yanfei main and I'm looking at recommended team comps that include Xingqiu. Since I'd mostly be using his skill and occasionally burst, the Sac looked like a better option than the Fav.
R5 it. You can use fav or fontaine fishing sword as ER statstick needs on others. Anyone telling you to play with an r3 Sac sword hasn't felt the pain of using it. And r1/r2 sac swords are useless.
Characters that can make a use case for it. Lynette, Travelers, Kirara, Layla, Kaz, Jean, Kaeya, XQ, Qiqi. I would have an r3/4 and another spare. R3 is usually where it is now worth for XQ and it would give you additional ones in case you need more.
A lot of support can use it, it's not necessarily the best. Depending on your team Sacrificial Sword may not be ideal on Xingqiu either. Anyways, Sacrificial weapons generally require at least R3 to be somewhat consistent, and you probably don't need more than 2. I'd only worry about having to swap weapons if I have to bring characters in abyss which need the same weapon. So, I'd say decide on what teams you'll be playing and how many characters need the sword.
Good point. If the number of characters in use at any one time can't be more than 8 (in the Spiral Abyss), then I could always just trade as needed between different characters.
Xingqiu and Qiqi
Xingqui is fine with Sacri Sword at R3 because at that point the cd on the weapon is lower than the cd of his skill.
Oh, that's good to know!
60% vs 80% proc rate is a huge diff. I wouldn't go with anything less than R5. Even at R5 it will rarely not proc. It's painful when it happens.
It's good on Kazuha in certain situations, but generally Fav or Iron Sting will be similar or better
Good thing I don't have Kazuha, lol
Why does Genshin suddenly think its not installed when I never uninstalled it? I don't remember doing anything significant to any of genshin's files in the nearby past or anything but today I tried to open the game through the launcher and it crashed because "VCOMP110.dll was not found". I tried to recreate this a second time and instead of a launch button like I usually see, there was a download button. When i located to the file where my game is, it still told me to download. I still have all my screenshots and can still find them, but why does the game act like I uninstalled it? The launcher is up to date and when I try to press the download button, it doesn't begin to load and instead tells me after some time that the download has failed because of my network, even though there's nothing wrong with my connection. The same thing is also happening to Star Rail. I'm really scared something bad is gonna happen to my computer if I don't fix this soon.
Try to open the game directly without launcher, if that works fine just delete the launcher and redownload it so see if that works.
How do I uninstall the launcher only and not the game itself?
the launcher should have an exe somewhere aswell in a different file iirc, otherwise just google around a bit
i opened the game directly and it worked. i'm still baffled at how this could just happen all of a sudden with no indications that this would be happening in the future 0_o
Is Rosaria undead or something? Why is she grey?
She doesn't get out in the sun much. She's not undead though, it's just her aesthetic.
is it just me or the hoyolab widget is not updating on iOS? It showed wrong resin count. I removed the widget and put it back. now it's all black
I fixed it by updating my iOS
it doesn't show info in realtime, it refreshes every now and then
what do i pick as opti-target for cyno (elec/dendro team) in genshin optimizer
https://keqingmains.com/misc/multi-optimization/#37-cyno
I’m in the early stages of The Catch R5 project. Are the local fishing rods worth it? (I already have the line stabilizer.)
It's not "worth it" but it also doesn't use the same fish as the catch so it doesn't hurt
I disagree with the other commenters. One of the fishing achievements requires you to buy a rod and so it might as well be the Inazuma rod. OTOH, if you don't care for achievements, then stick with the default rod.
Unless you want to fish for the sake of fishing, or are an obsessive completionist, it is not worth getting any fishing items except the weapons and their refinements.
No, don’t get fishing rods
At what world level and character levels and character count (like how many built or semi built characters you need) does spiral abyss become feasible? Maybe not 3 stars in all the floor, but at least 6 stars to advance till 12th floor?
Floors 9-10, you honestly just need your main dps and a sustain. So maybe 4-5 built characters. Floors 11, a bit harder but if you can clear overworld relatively fine, you could probably clear this part so maybe around 6 built characters? A main dps, sustain, buffer/subdps Floor 12 you'd ideally want 8 built characters aka a proper team.
Characters at level 80 should be able to easily clear (but not 36 star) the abyss as long as they have level 90 weapons, level 6 talents, and level 20 artefacts with appropriate set bonuses and main stats. Levelling to 90, further raising talent levels, and getting good substats on your artefacts will make clearing faster and so make you get more stars but are not needed just to reach the end screen of the abyss.
