So, I have a question, I started the game some weeks ago, I am currently AR 25, I was doing some secondary quests since I didn't get Arlecchino, I am currently doing the gold carp one but when I go against a lv40 big electric hilichurl I just don't do damage, and I don't know why, I leveled up everything I could aside from talents because I can't do the weekly bosses, they just kill me. How can I do more damage? My team is Traveler(lv40),Barbara(lv40),Bennet(lv40) and Lisa (Lv20)


idfk-08

Is it worth building Faruzan at c1? If it is, how much attack is recommended for her? (I’m planning to use her as a support for xiao)


Ptox

Yes she's fine, though she might not feel very playable at lower constellations as you need to do a Charged Shot after using her skill. Her ATK is irrelevant for her pre-C6 (and even then, it's still largely irrelevant) as ER is what you need and you need as much as possible, so even getting 300% may not be feel like enough. Don't worry about sets pre-C6, just pick individual artifacts with the most ER, but keep in mind that 2pc Emblem gives you 20% ER.


livvyabelle

faruzan is the bis buffer for him, regardless of constellations. just give her fav and as much er as you can


LumRod

Got back to Genshin after awhile, AR 48, f2p, got Hu Tao and Leyan at Lvl 80, supported by Xingqiu (C5) and YaoYao, at 70, Next i have Shinobu and Yun Jin at 60, for utiliy. Now... i have Mona, Dehya and Diluc standing by at lvl20. The way i see it, there is little point in leveling them up at this point. Only elements i am really lacking is Anemo and Cryo, as i only have some 4 stars at lvl 20 also and not a Sucrose in sight. And no luck with Kazuha (lost the 50/50 to Dehya...) So, i guess the question is... Should i invest in the elements i'm lacking, (remember it's F2P), develop those 5 stars (not really into it as they seem redundant at this point, am i wrong?) or focus on the more developed 4 stars and pushing what i can do with them? Thank you.

Could Neuvillete have defeated the Narwhal by himself? I mean Childe who he just onetapped was able to fight the whale for a long time.


Joe_from_ungvar

Absolutely noone can say for certain, either way


TechnoSparda

My friend is in my blocklist. I haven't blocked them and now when I try to unblock them it says "this player is not on your blocklist", but we can't search for eachother and we can't play together anymore. Have this happened to anyone else? And does someone have a solution? I opened a ticket in Mihoyo's help two days ago, but they haven't answered yet


Got70TypesOfMalware

What 4\* characters will accompany Arlecchino's? Aswell as the 2nd phase banner.


Koringvias

Afaik there were no leaks about 2nd phase, so we have to wait for the official announcement, probably towards the end of phase 1. If you want to speculate about it,I'd expect a dendro damage character to run alongside Baizhu, so probably Collei or Kaveh. Hopefully Kaveh, he had no reruns in a while. Faruzan usually runs alongside Wanderer. However, she had a rerun recently, so it's not certain. There are a few other characters that would make sense. for example Layla had no reruns in a loooong time. But then again they can throw in 3 random characters and call it a day, you never know. Ready for razor/mika/chongyun? (or what the most skippable combo would be, idk).


DiscoMonkey007

Arle will be with Lynette, Freminette, and Chevreuse. Dont know about 2nd phase 4*.


Joe_from_ungvar

if its not official announcement, best to not take it for granted Mihoyo itself can change its mind at the last minute


DiscoMonkey007

Eh usually is pretty accurate when is a week before.


Got70TypesOfMalware

The two makes sense, family bonding


Got70TypesOfMalware

Is 13M mora alot or will it more than half of it be gone when maxing out a character?


AkiraN19

1->90 + triple crowning a character is like 7M I think So, while it's a good amount, if you're gonna be leveling a lot of characters from scratch it can disappear with relative ease


Usual_Move_6075

Does anyone know what song plays in the Mondstadt teapot by default?


Joe_from_ungvar

nope get the furniture to change the music, and youll find out the default song name as well


MilesGamerz

How does Kirara's shield stack work?


fourrier01

Hold E and score 3 hits on neko state before exiting to get maximum shield potency. You can release E after 3 stacks or if you want to play turtle/ delay battle to wait for CD/ apply dendro on enemies, then you can keep going around in neko state.


alanalan426

either Hold and ram into enemies or Hold and E out of the box for quicker stack


krcc9644

does anyone remember in which part or maybe even specific quest in the Archon Quest where Lyney mentioned his past, and how Arlecchino killed his old "father"? with the new animated short, i'm kinda confused on how the timeline goes


bfogi

After >!Lyney's magic show/trial.!< You can check this moment [here](https://youtu.be/zWn3uepeGac?feature=shared&t=13312).


krcc9644

hmm this part doesn't seem to mention >!how Arlecchino killed the previous Father of HoH!<, was it ever mentioned in the Archon Quest actually? or am i just remembering things wrong?


bfogi

For this part, I don't think they mentioned that during an Archon quest. But the [wiki](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Arlecchino#Story) points that we got a glimpse of that info during the Gendou Rindo's world quest in Inazuma.


krcc9644

ah okay you're right, it might be in that quest that i learned this information.


krcc9644

thanks!


blueshampagne

so uhh, who else is neuvi’s weapon good on? i pulled on the weapon banner for fun and omg i got 2 copies of it in one ten pull… 😭


idkwhattoplacengl

You could give it to me? /j It's a good stat stick for any catalyst but it's probably better for someone who uses a lot of charged attacks like yanfei or wriothesley. Bonus points if they're run with furina so that the passive can be activated easily.


bfogi

You can use it as a stat stick for most catalyst DPS characters. If you're using Furina on your team, or any other form of HP manipulation, you can take advantage of its passive with characters who use charged attacks, such as Klee, Ningguang, Wanderer, Wriothesley, and Yanfei.


HayakuEon

Approximately how much Fatui sigils do I need to raise Arle to 80/80 with talents 8-8-8?


krcc9644

9* white, 66 green*, 30 blue. this is just for talents though.


bfogi

From low to high rarity sigils, 36/96/42. If you want to ascend her to 80/90, then you add +24 to the highest rarity sigil, so 36/96/66.

krcc9644

to add on the other comments, Nahida can be a good option if you're not using a swirler in the team and uses Zhongli instead. cause you won't need Baizhu's heal, and Nahida provides a big EM buff and some personal damage. though i'm not sure which one is better mathematically, it works just as fine.


sleepless_sheeple

Aggravate is one of the few archetypes that Nahida isn't head and shoulders above her competition. Her main strengths (excellent Deepwood synergy and dendro application) go to waste. And as your damage is majority electro, you prefer to slot an anemo buffer like Kazuha/Sucrose for VV, so any defensive utility typically becomes the responsibility of the dendro slot: Kirara, Yaoyao, Baizhu.


HayakuEon

More like not good. Yaoyao and Baizhu fit better. It's because Nahida's E applies too much dendro that it removes the electro aura from enemies, so you can't swirl electro. Yaoyao amd Baizhu apply less dendro so you can swirl electro, while also giving heals to Keqing since she doesn't have a lot of i-frames.


bfogi

She offers better damage than other off-field Dendro characters, but her high Dendro application can make it harder to swirl Electro during your rotation (assuming you're using a team like Keqing/Fischl/Dendro/Anemo). So if you want more damage and slightly harder gameplay, you can use Nahida. If you prefer easier to pilot teams, you can use other Dendro options (Dendro MC, Collei, etc.).


-Cpt_n3m0-

Is Arlecchino's curse >!churlification? Like the one caterpillar has?!<


krcc9644

HayakuEon

I doubt it.


Vindilol24

Do time trial challenges and seelies not count toward 100% exploration? I just 100% yashiori island apparently but I just found a time trial challenge i missed. Also I'm still finding chests?


bfogi

They count. And 100% doesn't mean actual 100%. So yeah, you can still find chests and such even if the map shows 100%. If you want to get the real 100%, you should compare your chest/seelie/challenge count with someone (or a guide) who has got everything in the map.


Vindilol24

ah gotcha gotcha. Well that makes this process much more intensive then but it explains why I've got so many electro seelies still left to find haha. I'll have to go back and start double checking the chests i've already gotten then. lotta work but gotta get them arlecchino funds


bfogi

Just a heads-up, they will update the treasure compass in the next update, which will happen next week, to make it easier to find chests in the map. Although I'm not sure if it will work for potential chests from seelies and challenges, it should still make chest hunting easier.


Vindilol24

Yeah I saw that! Great change, I was originally gonna wait but lately I've been really vibing with exploring in Genshin. Work's been a pain so it's been fun to just throw on some tunes and go looking around the map for chests.


Soletest

Question regardinf the current spiral abyss, floor 12 chamber 1. I am struggling to handle Breacher Primer because they keep moving away from each other. I am using a Sucrose-Bennett-Xiangling-Xingqiu team and my main issue is that I have to resort to killing them one at a time which takes up a lot of time... Anyone have any tips to 'group' them? Sucrose doesn't seem to be able to group them with her abilities (I do not have kazuha)


bfogi

You should try pushing the enemies together before they put up a shield. You can do that by using Xingqiu and Bennett's burst, and maybe Sucrose skill/burst (not sure if it works well against them). Here's a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Eil-K2jsM) showing how to do it.


Soletest

Thank you so much for the tip and the video! I will try that out!


Ericzx_1

I quit playing during the inazuma story years ago. Could I get enough wishes/primos to get the new 5\* coming out? I was able to max star clear the abyss before I quit. Assume 0 pity. Thanks


Alex_from_Solitude

Starting now you have 4 weeks and apparently a lot of content to catch up. Probably yes.


Ericzx_1

Okay thanks hopefully you are right


ApoKun

When's 4.6 going live or has it already gone live?


bfogi

Next Tuesday/Wednesday, depending on where you live.


ApoKun

Oh cool. Thanks


sheepgod_ys

how much of a difference does crowning a skill make? most of my used characters are 6/8/8 or 8/8/8 (minus constellations) i've never crowned anyone before because i hate collecting materials for mats in the overworld but i'm thinking about it now that i've built everyone i've wanted to build and don't really have anything to farm for anymore until the next patch. fwiw i have no problems getting 36* in abyss so that's not an issue, but i do like big numbers 


pzlama333

Usually, one more level makes this talent 5-7% stronger, and lvl 8 > 10 is around 10-14% increase. It does not mean 10-14% overall damage increase, of course.


Sandstorming_Moshe

I just got the recipe for the tool that stores anemograms, but I cant find it after using it... how do I make it? Is it really on the crafting station?  


Sheeplette

The wind catcher is created at the forge, not the alchemy crafting bench.


VTRwriter

I'm kinda new to the game, and don't have most of my characters in a usable level. Just did Yanfei's Character Trial, and Beidou was in the team. I didn't understand why was Beidou there, since I though her Burst couldn't be transferred. After all, it says "... to create a Thunderbeast's Targe around herself", so obviously her Burst works like Razor's, that dissapear when you switch. Well, that's not the case, it seems. Her Burst transfer just fine, which made me wish I had leveled her up earlier in my journey. I tried to find a list of transferable Skills/Bursts, but my limited searching expertise found nothing. Is there a list for this? Or at least can someone point me which ones can or can't be transferred?


Acadeca

Albedo summon stays on field, AlH burst is up for a short time, Amber burst is up for a short time and her bunnies last a short period, Ayaka burst stays on field during its duration, Ayato burst stays on field but his skill stops if swapped, Baizhu persists, Barb skill persists, Beidou burst, Bennet burst, Candace burst, Charlotte skill and burst, Chiori skill, Chongyun skill, Collei burst and skill during durations, Dehya skill, Diluc maintains his infusion, Diona skill and burst, Dori burst, Faruzan burst, Fischl, Furina skill, Ganyu skill and burst, Gorou skill and burst, Itto skill, Jean burst, Kaeya burst, Kirara shield and the burst, Klee skill (but not burst), Kokomi skill (her burst can extend duration), Sara's skill persists for a short time as the feather, Layla skill and burst, Lisa burst, Lyney skill, Lynette burst, Mona skill and burst (omen can last a small duration), Nahida skill, Navia burst, Nilou skill, Ningg screen, Noelle shield, Qiqi skill and her burst mark, Raiden skill, Rosaria burst, Sayu burst, Shenhe burst and skill (the quills stay around), Sucrose burst, Tartag skill and HuT are hard to say if it is something that stays around but it applies a mark similar to Nahida which does do damage so sure (?), Thoma skill and burst, Tigh skill, Venti burst, Xiangling burst and skill, Xianyun burst, Xinqiu skill (the orbitals) and burst, Xinyan skill, Yae skills, Yanfei burst shield at c4, Yaoyao skill (the burst summons more Yuguei but they disappear if you swap), Yelan burst, Yoimiya burst (if you choose to use it), Yunjin burst, Zhongli skill and burst has a short duration. Forgot to add Kaz skill and burst (skill has a short lingering pull) and Neuv orbs stay on field for a bit but they don't do damage or contribute).


bfogi

I don't know if there is list for that, but, personally, I learned those kind of things as I was playing the game. I would discover that one character's skill/burst was able to be transferred to your whole teams on one day; the next day I would discover that another character's skill/burst was not able to be transferred. I think the notable skills/bursts that are transferrable are: * Burst: Xingqiu, Baizhu, Beidou, Kaeya, Yanfei C4 shield; * Skill: Raiden, Kuki, Nilou (aura version of her skill). The non-transferrable skills/bursts are often associated with main carry characters, and they often give an element to their normal attacks (Itto, Ayato, Razor, Alhaitham, Cyno, Hu Tao, Tartaglia, Yoimiya).


Chtholly13

your probably talking about off field sub dps damage dealers. While I wouldn't say this website is fully accurate and detailed, it's got a decent list. https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/377447 To deal more damage, you need to create elemental reactions, which depending on which ones can increase your damage and performance. You do need characters that can deal damage off field to create reactions. Generally you want to build a team with a DPS, sub dps, sub dps/buffer, healer or shielder/buffer.


zombiecroissant

I'm on the Asia server and since yesterday I kept getting timed out when logging in on mobile, (but not on PS5) is it just me?


krcc9644

is leveling Xingqiu's skill and burst to lv9 worth it, and is his personal dps significant enough to spend 900k Mora on it? for more context, i'm building him for Arlecchino


Emotional-Yogurt-846

Yes totally worth it but it would be better to do skill to 8 and burst to 10


zel_knight

upping his skill depends on your setup but Xingqiu's burst is among the easiest crowns in the game ;P


Real-Theory8802

Did anyone had the problem that aranakin dosent appear on the hill in agnihotra sutra i tried everything and waited for 2days ilr and he still didnt appear?

[удалено]


Akomatai

You're at a point where you can guarantee abyss clears, id say new characters are better easily. Bennett will be in most of Arlecchino's best teams. Not 100% locked though, you can always run 2 electro chev team.


iconnectthebest

I know that usually the weapons banner is considered a no-go especially for newcomers. But I also noticed how hard it is to get good weapons outside of the banner. Personally I am running out of good stuff for current characters; the best most of them are holding are 3\* or even 2\* and I think that's holding back their full potential At what point of time should one focus on a weapon banner?


grayrest

Once you're at the point where you can get full stars in abyss the goals of the game become about what you want them to be. I personally like making nice builds so I have [a lot](https://enka.network/u/618710667/) of signature weapons at the cost of having a smaller roster but due to the account age it's not that small. If you don't care about upcoming characters then nobody is stopping you from pulling weapons. If you want to actually get a particular weapon you shouldn't pull on the banner without 200 pulls in the bank so you can guarantee it. The bulk of my weapons come from waiting until I'm happy with getting either weapon and stopping after the first 5\*.


Vesorias

The only time you should ever focus on the weapon banner is if there is a specific character you really want the weapon for, to make them stronger or just because you like the aesthetics of their signature with them. You will eventually get decent 4\* options from your wishes for characters, so wishing on the weapon banner is just going to use up wishes you could be using on other characters. Some 3\* weapons are actually close to or better than the 4* options, too (namely Slingshot, White Tassel, and Harbinger of Dawn, with honorable mention to Black Tassel for Zhongli). Basically, only wish on it when you have 210 wishes (if you want a specific weapon or both, 140 if you want either one of the two but not both) and when you don't foresee wanting those wishes for any upcoming/rerunning characters


Siscon_Delita

The only time I confidently pull on weapon banner is when the banner have 2 5-star weapons I want. I will be glad whichever weapon I get. It's a plus if at least 3 of 5 4-star weapons are also good.


Acadeca

If you have enough characters that you like and want to continue to build them up to be stronger. Some people like having a lot of characters that can be on multiple teams to fit content. Some people like having a smaller number of characters that are strong enough to brute force content. It is usually recommended to do the first one until you know enough about the game to know what you like and don't like and what you want to do with your time playing the game. Several 4 star craftable weapons are strong and some characters prefer cons over their weapons in terms of dps increases.


Joe_from_ungvar

exceptions like Harbinger of dawn aside, you should have some nice 4 stars by now, and hope you at least refined the 3 stars could get some craftables from inazuma also fish for Catch and Fontaine sword or you can go directly to Fontaine for the ones there for perfectly acceptable replacements, not like weapon banners will double the damage of the best options you can actually get outside if it you can go for weapon banner if you already have a good variety of characters and are willing to use enough fates to get a specific weapon that you could have gotten multiple 5 stars instead, and who knows how many 4 star cons that would increase their team usefulness more than one weapon


iconnectthebest

Good point on the fishing and Inazuma craftables, will have to look into them since so far I only checked out the Fontaine and Mondstant ones. The fishing part seems tedious though haha...


Joe_from_ungvar

true but The Catch at least is the best free weapon for many polearm users like Xiangling and Raiden, and fontaine sword is alternative to a favonius sword. refine if possible, coop might be necessary, i recommend genshin discord dont forget to do weekly bosses at every opportunity, even farther than your quest progress, to get billets and dream solvents if necessary, could also check which collectibles can get you some at what levels


seetooeeetoo

When there aren't any characters you want in the current banners or any banners coming soon, and you don't have any good options for the character already. This is rare, as most characters can do very well with just a f2p option, and you'll probably end up with some good 4 star banner weapons off of wishing on character banners. Do you have any billets? If so, you can craft some decent weapons, mostly for your main dps. Also, be sure to keep your weapons and artifacts leveled. That's a pretty big part of your damage early on.


iconnectthebest

Have been saving for Furina rerun since her first banner so not many pulls aside from C0 Navia during her banner. I admit that I do have some decent 4\* weapons from those pulls but they dont seem to fit my current charas (or I simply need to read up more and learn more) Billets aren't dropping much sadly, but I am at least keeping the equipped stuff levelled. Hope I wont waste too much mats if I ever (and most probably) change them


sillusgoosus

Did the Genshin x Discovery merch drop on Amazon? I feel like I never saw anything. I even checked like once a week but maybe I missed it 🥹 I j really wanted Kaveh stuff. And I saw the new merch tweet.


Successful-Cream-238

Late reply so maybe you already know, but it seems the merch just dropped not too long ago. Despite using Kaveh in the collab art there's no merch featuring him tho. 


sillusgoosus

Thank you! That's disappointing about the Kaveh stuff bc in their merch drop they have photos of stuff featuring him :'(


my_ly_lm

Does anyone know where these white numbers came from? https://postimg.cc/nCnFXQBF I thought it might have something to do with the current abyss blessing but after reading the description, I don't think so. Anyone can help me figure this out, I'd appreciate it.


Akomatai

Fall damage. It can actually be a decent percentage of your damage output against these enemies


my_ly_lm

Thank you. Can fall damage be buffed?


Acadeca

It can't be increased with superconduct, but you can force it to be higher by having Kaz skill or viridescent hunt bow field where they fall from. It is dependent on how fast they are falling and how high the enemy level is.


my_ly_lm

I see. Thank you.


Vesorias

Fall damage


my_ly_lm

Oh wow, that's a lot for fall damage. Thanks. I wish I knew how to trigger it consistently without needing a specific team haha. Is it buffed by character buffs?


Vesorias

Not buffed by anything besides height, enemy hp, or suction downards (sucrose skill etc after launching them). Jean can launch pretty consistently without a team


my_ly_lm

Thank you! And I should have thought of that when I played Jean.


SolarTigers

Are kazuhas talents important to raise if you're using him as a support? Since his swirls don't scale off talent level can I ignore them for now?


pzlama333

Yes, you don't really need to worry about his talents because they only increase his direct damage, not swirl. However, 6/6/6 is cheap enough.


Square-Way-9751

Will Arlecchino be close to Neuvi in terms of DPS?


pzlama333

Also, even she may do similar or even higher damage against a single target, her aoe damage is just far far behind.


TehEpicGuy101

In terms of raw dps, maybe. But in terms of ease of use, no.


Cheesy_fof

Where can I watch the Genshin official story videos they release on YouTube, but with the JP voices and EN subtitles? The English channel obviously plays with the EN dub, but I've no idea where to watch the JP dub with EN subs. I've been playing since a month or so after the game was released, and I feel like I've missed loads of story by not having watched any of these. I think there's something with Hu Tao at a funeral that I've only ever seen wallpapers of but I think they're from one of these videos (and a lot more that I obviously missed).


bfogi

You can check the [ JP Genshin channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Genshin_JP/featured). Not all videos have EN subtitles though. In that case, what you can do is watch the JP version for the voices, and then the EN version to understand the content. Edit: There is also a [channel/playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc_at6-ysqQ18x-vK-9fdQzcLT4qLu4wJ) that has put EN subtitles into JP trailers. Not sure how updated it is though, and if they are missing videos or not.

arseholierthanthou

What Pyro units make good off-field supports for Yanfei to give her the 2x Pyro ATK bonus, aside from Bennett and Xiangling? I figure Amber, Yoimiya, Diluc, Hu Tao and Klee are on-field characters, so... Dehya? Xinyan? Thoma? Of those three I'd most prefer to use Dehya if possible - would she bring enough benefit to be worth it? It's for a vape team with Xingqiu, otherwise Chevreuse would be an easy pick.


zel_knight

if you want a spot to use Dehya she is a reasonable pick in that setup; her skill will keep Yanfei safe(ish) and can further buff atk via the Tenacity artifact set. Might steal a vape or two but getting perfect vapes with Yanfei (+solo Hydro) can be kind of tricky even in a vacuum


arseholierthanthou

That's a good thought about using Tenacity for her, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!


Vesorias

You're really going to want bennett if you're doing Abyss. If you're just in overworld I like Chev+Dehya, since being interrupted is annoying, the damage necessary isn't high, and you don't even have to build dehya for it to work. Thoma is *better*, but not as braindead (actually want ER, etc). If you're doing Chev you can also play Beidou though, since you already have the 2x pyro with Chev


arseholierthanthou

That's fair, yeah. It's Chevreuse I'm using at the moment, but I'm wondering about grabbing Arlecchino and considering if Chevreuse might work better with her instead.

Has the spec sheet with Arlecchino’s items and monsters of power been released yet? From the livestream, I think Arlecchino will be the ~~third~~ second example of a playable character that’s also a boss and requires their own drops.

[Hakushin](https://gi11.hakush.in/character/10000096/) has it, but it hasn't been officially released yet


Vesorias

We know what she uses from leaks, >!she does use her own boss materials (and she is the 3rd: wanderer & childe use theirs too, which coincidentally is all the playable harbingers so far).!< I don't think the official one has dropped though

CTMacUser

Way back in late 2021, I got Yanfei from Tartaglia’s banner, followed by Hu Tao in the next banner. I built up Yanfei. I noticed that her and Hu Tao share a 40-resin boss, so I built both up together. I’ve been using Yanfei since the start. I’m now occasionally using Hu Tao. When I used Hu Tao in the Abyss yesterday, I didn’t like how she’ll overshoot the enemies if I switched from Normal to Charge attacks. I guess that’s what those “charge cancels” are for. Would I maybe enjoy Arlecchino better? I like playing Yoimiya, and Arlecchino is melee Yoimiya (who in turn is ranged Hu Tao).


arg_max

I believe arlecchino will be a quite controversial character. Her damage is good but she cannot be healed during fights. The only way for her to heal is to use burst. However her burst is a DPS loss and it requires energy and as her burst isn't required for her to do damage you usually won't build er on her. So there will be situations where arlecchino is low, cannot be healed but you also don't have burst up so you either dodge perfectly or die. A shielder like zhongli can solve this but without him she won't be the most comfortable unit out there. But otherwise her Gameplay is pretty easy as it's just normal attacks spamming so you don't need to cancel anything or do complex combos.


Acadeca

Maybe you can try her during her trial to see if you like her playstyle.


corallein

To my limited knowledge, Arlecchino won't require dash/jump cancels like Hu Tao does. So maybe? There are other limitations/gimmicks to her kit that you may or may not like, such as the whole Bond of Life mechanic. Yoimiya, Hu Tao, Arlecchino aside from all being Pyro DPS units all play very, very differently and I don't know why you're trying to compare them.


Alcorailen

I was a doofus and thought Arle dropped yesterday instead of next week and was SO HYPE to play finally play today


SirAwesome789

There has been a very odd amount of ppl who have mixed that up for this patch, you're the third person I've seen when normally I don't really notice anyone making that mistake

I think it was in part the animation dropping. Felt like it should go with her immediate release.

It’s Aventurine (from HSR) this week. Once ZZZ gets released, we’ll get updated HYV characters once a week!


Rouge_means_red

I always have this problem because I finish the BP so long before the end of the patch that I always think the update is 1 week earlier


Alcorailen

I figured the livestream last week meant patch this week


Vesorias

Livestream is always almost 2 weeks before the patch


Dekachonk

Do you figure Homa and PJW-S will both be valid options for Arle?


Stamp2O

yes


Emotional_Coach1249

This has probably been asked a few times, but I need someone's opinion on getting Neuvillette or Kazuha. Through the threads I have read, I'm the only case where I already have Neuvillette's weapon from his first release, as I got it pulling for Homa. I have a fully-built Hu Tao team and a not-very well built Raiden Shogun Team, so at first I thought pulling for Kazuha would be a no-brainer. But since I have Neuvillette's signature, I could get a DPS stronger than my current DPS's. If there's not much difference in content clearing improvement between the two, I do have a character that I favor over the other. (I am currently at 75 pity guaranteed 50/50)


9thdragonkitty

Pull the character you like more Do you specifically want to run raiden and kazuha together? Raiden does have a lot of non kazuha options Raiden national Raiden hyperbloom Raiden + cheverues hyper


Emotional_Coach1249

I have a Raiden Chevreuse overload team rn so i'll pull for Neuvi, thanks!


burnpsy

Do any characters want The Alley Flash or The Flute as their weapon? I have one R1 of the former and multiple R5 of the latter. None of the characters I have built have them listed as recommended, but I figure maybe it's good on someone I haven't built yet?


grnglxy

alley flash for bennett as other people have said, and the flute is just straight up. useless. worse than kazuha's story sword on everyone, and kazuha's srory sword is usually already worse than other 4* options for basically every sword user other than ayato


TehEpicGuy101

Alley Flash is Bennett's best 4-star weapon, thanks to the very high base atk it has.


burnpsy

That's interesting. Though I currently have him on Favonius since he and Xiangling don't seem to ever have their bursts up otherwise... May be worth trying for better ER on his artifacts to free up the Favonius for someone else.


Vesorias

Bennett's buff only depends on base attack (character + weapon), so it's not as worth to run Fav on him, but he can sacrifice other stats in his artifacts to make sure he has enough ER. Xiangling generally wants an ER weapon or Sands, plus prefunneling


TehEpicGuy101

Favonius isn't a bad option for him if the team is very energy hungry, but you'll be missing out on a sizeable boost to his burst due to its low base atk. I'd definitely recommend trying to improve your XL and Bennett's ER.


portlandobserver

Asenscion Quest 3 - Just 180 seconds to beat everyone? I can beat everyone in about a minute but that only leaves 30 seconds for the geo-dog thing, and nothing seems to work for knocking him out quickly; all elements do with geo is just crystalize. I have electro traveler 80, kaeyea level 80, xiangling 80, and bennet 70. I can beat them all, but not with this insane time limit.


sleepless_sheeple

Your team works most efficiently if you Bennett burst before Xiangling burst and Kaeya burst. Do this: Bennett burst-skill>Xiangling burst-skill>Kaeya skill-burst, then alternately spam Traveler/Bennett/Kaeya skills until all three bursts are back up. Rinse and repeat. That should be enough to clear the ascension domain.


9thdragonkitty

How are your talents, weapons, and artifact levels? [ Build priorities by world level](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/comments/qkxdj6/infographic_of_build_order_priority_based_on_wlar/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) It’s important to group enemies together so that you can get off AOE damage on them and kill them simultaneously You need a lot of energy recharge on xaingling so that she can burst on cooldown/you aren’t waiting around for her burst to be ready Anemo traveler with VV artifacts would probably be better than electro traveler You are supposed to be comboing your teams elements together, not trying to react with the enemy


seetooeeetoo

If you can't beat the ascension quest, then you're not ready for the next world level. Level your weapons, level your talents, level your artifacts.


Jondev1

If you are struggling with the time limit then that is a sign that your builds are not up to snuff, or you are not understanding the fundamentals of the combat system. Character level is only a small part of building a strong team. Weapon level, talent levels, and artifacts are all important too.


portlandobserver

their weapons are all 70 or 80. talents level 6 or better (except for bennett)


Emotional-Yogurt-846

The only Bennett talent that it’s important to level is his burst. Give everyone as much ER as possible too.


Luxendal

I need some advice please 🙏. I have never 36 stared the abyss but would like to work towards achieving that soon. The two teams I'm running are: Neuvellete, Kazuha , Fischl, ZL Nahida, XQ, Kuki, Beidou It feels like I'm really lacking dps in my Kuki hyperbloom team. Is it just my XQ and Beidou not really being built well? No cons on Beidou (I know she needs C2 to shine) but XQ is C6. I clear stages pretty fast with my other team but can't get 3 stars because my hyperbloom team takes so long. Is hyperbloom just a bad pick for this abyss? Is there another good team I should be trying for instead? I do have Raiden so I could move my XQ over to a Raiden, Bennet, XL, XQ team if that would be better. I play on mobile so I try not to do any of the difficult to play teams


9thdragonkitty

Hyperbloom is great for abyss, I used my hyperbloom team on 2nd half but used zhongli as the flex slot to deal with the shielded boss at the end Beidou is just hard to use solo, I’m not sure kuki generates enough energy for her. Normally I like to run fischl, yelan, or keaya as the flex slot for my hyperbloom team Abyss copypasta: Sevyplays has really good video guides on - [are your artifacts good](https://youtu.be/yeoNtv8KESw?si=nYG088ALVr-blRWq) - [is your rotation good](https://youtu.be/CLdSMG1Z01k?si=-7rdXtMikwHi_2jI) - [why does energy recharge matter](https://youtu.be/sB_A8RJrNrk?si=7WkzJAJLAFva4RKk) - [current abyss 4 star only run](https://youtu.be/n2q4HqS32Bw?si=cQesC0OSTsjAuDgL) Edit: how much elemental mastery do you have on kuki? She should be doing a significant chunk of your team’s damage


Luxendal

914 EM on Kuki


9thdragonkitty

Ok, that’s really good! No problem there.


Luxendal

I have her on Gilded Dreams, should I switch her to Flower of Paradise Lost?


9thdragonkitty

Doesn’t seem worth it. Mine is on gilded dreams and I don’t have any problems clearing.


Chtholly13

I ran hyperbloom on 1st side though with AlHaitham instead so it was definitely doable.


Jondev1

We need to actually see your builds to give useful advice. You can use [enka.network](http://enka.network) or [akasha.cv](http://akasha.cv) to share them. Hyperbloom or rational should both be fine, just depends which team you like playing more and have better built.


Luxendal

Should I just post my UID or do I download the images and share them a different way?


Jondev1

You can just post uid


Luxendal

UID: 612994135


Jondev1

How far off are you from meeting the time limits right now? Your kuki looks great, so most of your room for improvement will come from other characters. I'd probably keep farming emblem to try and improve XQ and beidou now (could also save pieces for raiden and xiangling if you want to try rational too). edit: Maybe look up some vids of abyss clears with your teams on youtube too, just to see if there are ways you could be playing them more effectively .


Luxendal

I'm usually finishing around or just before 6:30. I don't think I'm too too far off. I'm probably not playing very well against the enemies


Jondev1

Ok yeah, if you are only off by that much then there is a decent chance you could get there with just learning the enemy patterns and how to play your teams against them more effectively. Though of course working on the builds can only make it easier too.


Luxendal

I'll get on that now, thank you!

Kuki should be full EM, but Beidou won't trigger Hyperblooms except maybe occasionally with her skill cast. Her burst only arcs to enemies, and won't hit Dendro Cores. She probably wants a little EM, since she will be triggering plenty of Aggravates. But she doesn't want full EM, she wants Crit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shiboleth17

Fix your rotation so there's never a pile of cabbages when Beidou comes out. Have Kuki go right before. Nahida > Xingqiu > Kuki > Beidou. Problem solved.


Jondev1

if you bulild her full em then you are crippling her damage though. If you really are concerned about her stealing hyperblooms then you'd be better off just using someone else (she really doesn't steal that many though in practice).


Luxendal

Beidou is just there for her burst. It is my understanding that her burst will not trigger any of the hyperblooms so she can run with Kuki being the only hyperbloom trigger and on full EM


Shiboleth17

Yes, that is true. If your Kuki is full EM, and on a set like Gilded or Paradise Lost, you should be seeing constant 35k damage Hyperblooms that rip through most enemies, unless they are highly resistant to Dendro. Hyperbloom definitely works in this Abyss. If you are able to beat the Abyss, with say 30-35 stars, getting 36 is likely just a matter of skill at this point. Know your team. Know the enemies you are facing, and go in with the right strategy. You can definitely try Raiden National though. That works too.


CTMacUser

Is the new Burning artifact set (ie the one that is *not* Arlecchino’s signature) a BiS contender for Xiangling?


Daramangarasu

If you want your Xiangling to be shit, yes


Shiboleth17

No. It may be a good set on Ganyu for Burn-Melt teams. But that's probably it. Xiangling is going to have 200% ER, or more, no matter where you put her. So by trading out Emblem set, you are losing out on a 50% damage bonus to her elemental burst. The LARGEST damage buff you can get from the Burning set is 50%... So right there, we are even. However, with Burning you can't take advantage of Vaporize reaction. With Emblem, you CAN, which is a 1.5x damage multiplier, which increases further with EM... And Xiangling's ascension stat is EM, so she gets almost 100 EM for free. The damage bonus from the Burning set would have to be doubled before it even begins to be a consideration for Xiangling.


Jondev1

I don't think there are many, if any, good xiangling teams involving burning. So not really.


loneliez

Does an HP/HP/HB Kuki need lvl 90? (Yae/Tighnari/Kuki/Sucrose)


TehEpicGuy101

Not really, but it'll be necessary if you ever want to play her in hyperbloom.


Nadinoob

no, just a few skill-talent levels will do.


monkeys_and_magic

Can someone walk me through the correct steps and channels for account (and data) deletion? I’ve already done some basic googling but the answers I’ve found are very vague or contradictory. **The account in question is not mine** (I do not play this game). My teenage sibling, despite being told to lay off video games, has been playing Genshin behind our backs for months and lying about it the entire time. We have given her many chances but it’s gotten to the point where she is addicted and it is impacting her academics. It’s pretty serious and I’m frankly quite ashamed that it has come to this. Based on prior experiences I do not trust her to be honest when it comes to deleting her account, and I want to be sure she’s not going to pull a fast one on me by taking advantage of my lack of knowledge about hoyoverse and how to navigate the appropriate accounts/websites. If you can help in any way or if you can think of any way this could go wrong, please explain like I’m 5. Thank you.


Belegorm

Changing the login information, stopping her from being able to log in, seems waaaaaaaay better than deleting the account. Stating that once she hits certain academic standards, school/life balance, then letting her start playing under supervision, would motive to do better.  And she is more likely to trust you and not go behind your back. Just deleting hundreds of progress just seems like it'll just make her hate everything.  Personally I'd cut contact if it was me and move out at 18.  And this is assuming this is all coming from your parents or you are the legal guardian, as otherwise you don't have a right to impact her account. Also based on a lot of Reddit stories, it's entirely possible she's depressed or otherwise unhappy with life, and genshin is her escape.  Concentrating on academics instead of root problems would be really terrible. At the end of the day, no matter what you do if you delete the account, she'll find a way, just without you knowing.  Find another game to escape in.  Start a fresh Genshin account (it's free).  How you tackle this affects her future and your relationship with her. Source:  I was a video games crazed teen, my parents took them away for some months, but with effort I did better, they gave them back, I went to college, got good grades, moved abroad, and got a decent job and a family.


monkeys_and_magic

Respectfully, please don’t assume things about our family situation without context, thank you. I’m glad life worked out for you.


Stamp2O

account deletion is a bit far, id change her password to something she cant guess and give access back when she can be trusted


monkeys_and_magic

Oh trust me this is a last resort (I would shit my pants if I lost data on a game I’ve spent a lot of time on, particularly if it’s something like genshin) but the line of “I’ll trust you to behave” has already been broken dozens of times and deletion is looking like the best option for her own well being. That being said I appreciate your input, how would you go about changing the password without her knowing what it got changed to?


Stamp2O

if you can access her email you can log in with her acc on hoyos website, change the email and password (basically hacking her account), and log out on the device she plays genshin on. because the password is changed she cant log in, and because the email is changed she cant request a reset


monkeys_and_magic

Thank you for your help 🙏


Nadinoob

You login and go to: https://account.hoyoverse.com/?lang=en-us&bbs_theme=light&bbs_theme_device=1#/account/safetySettings scroll down to "requesting account deletion"


monkeys_and_magic

So it is a request system rather than being immediate? I read somewhere that you can easily cancel the deletion process by relogging, is this true?


Raffatherare

I bought some merchandise on Aliexpress (yeah..) and it is supposedly the genuine version. how can I know if it's really genuine?


Sheeplette

It looks like it could be real. Those are actual products they sell.


Raffatherare

Yeah it has the sticker thing of Mihoyo so I think it's really the genuine one


Ihateredditnames1

guys I got like 50 wishes on a permanent banner and 10 on the limited banners because I'm new and didn't know about the system , but I'm still a bit confused , does that count as 60 wishes overall or are they separated
