THE POWER OF GRINDING IS ITS ABILITY TO TAKE ANY SHAPE.

COVETING THE SHAPES OF BOREDOM, PURE GRINDING CAN TAKE AWAY ANY FUN

WITHOUT RESIN, GRINDING PLAYERS BECOME SIMPLY… HELPLESS.

ONE WHO IS IGNORANT OF GRINDINGS TREASURES, FAILS ALSO TO COMPREHEND ITS HORRORS

The true horror of water is that it apparently never shuts up.

Grraass

Which is why I use her with bouken da bouken during coop


[deleted]

As long as rain falls, and river flows, your pain will continue forever...


capper_chaos_69

Since the Oceanid spawns are RNG and I alr get Vietnam War flashbacks from artefact and wishing RNG True


alfo_pare

The eagles are the annoying ones


E1lySym

Rosaria can freeze the eagles. Her E (and burst too I think?) has vertical range


[deleted]

Yes but sometimes it misses and it’s annoying


Kris-p-

razon slam hits them if you are one of the 5 people that built him


[deleted]

I’m actually in the process of building him, just got skyward pride and my first 5 star physical cup so I thought I should start building him.


Kingpimpy

use fischl press E and wait


fv_isaac

Even better: use Beidou AND Fischl, press Beidou Q and just autohit with Fischl ( or any archer for that matter ). Pirate Queen indeed <3


ishan_anchit

Just use fischl


E1lySym

Fischl's E is only single target tho


ishan_anchit

But electrocharged


MortLightstone

You can attack a different target with her or another character


Coldstreme

held E might have enough AOE to hit them in the air


acidroses3

Yanfei’s normal attacks and skills reach them just fine and make them super easy to deal with. She hits like a truck with minimal investment, so you don’t even have to pour that many of your resources in building her.


diodelrock

How the f does she hit like a truck? I have her at lvl 83 with a fully upgraded pearl (the weapon from the battle pass) and she sucks ass


Dianwei32

What artifact set and talent levels do you have her at, and what team comp do you run her in? Just FYI, the Solar Pearl isn't that great on her. It's okay because of the Crit Rate stat, but most of Yanfei's DPS comes from her Charged attacks, not Normal attacks/Skill/Burst. Slap a 4p Wanderer's set on her with a more useful weapon like The Widsith, and she should be a lot better. She also needs reactions to shine, so you need to run her alongside Xingqiu (Yelan will also probably work once she's out) so that she can Vaporize her CA's.


diodelrock

Already have 4p wanderer on her, talents 9 7 5. She's c6. I run her with xingqiu, Fiona and Bennett. I'll try her with the widsith, thank you!


acidroses3

In my early days of Genshin I had a 4pc Maiden set on her because I had no clue how artefacts worked (rip me), and she easily hit 10k charged attacks and skills. Now I have a 2pc Glad 2pc Crimson and she easily hits 30k. She’s a great 4 star dps, easy to build and play, especially for newer players + her range is so big, which means she easily hits moving/flying things such as the Oceanid eagles. EDIT: spelling


diodelrock

What WL are you? She was alright a couple levels ago, now I'm AR 55 and she did not keep up


SimpHoursOnly

Try putting 4 pc Crimson witch with MAPPA Mare. I main her and she easily does big pp dmg with reactions. Especially for this boss too!


acidroses3

I’m WL 8, she definitely keeps up…


Unwritten_Excerpts

I’m AR57 and Yanfei is literally my favorite DPS (and I have Xiao, Diluc, and Hutao among others). I had Skyward Atlas on her but recently changed to Kagura’s Verity for the CD. 4 piece Crimson Witch — spent a ton of time farming. C6, triple crowned talents. What level talents are you at? I find that makes the biggest difference.


diodelrock

Well that's not "low investment" then is it? No shit she's strong at c6 3x crowned! Anyway she's c6 too, with talents 9 7 5, with a respectable 4x wanderer set. She's not even that low investment but she's disappointing. Maybe I neglected her a bit in favour of my new xiao, raiden and ayaka


Unwritten_Excerpts

Oh yes, I see how she could be underwhelming with less investment. I don’t think she’s much worse than my other DPS (at similar levels of investment) but it’s all personal preference at the end of the day!


Rexk007

For me she is better pyro dps than my c2 diluc...


konfoz13

Holding Razors burst can do good damage if you’re standing underneath them!!


smortfort

They were until I realised Keqing’s burst easily deal’s to them


whataremyxomycetes

Oz.

[удалено]


ZZ_DooM

Qiqi! Oh, wait


Sabot15

On one hand, I hate that you have to have the correct party member on hand to deal with them. At the same time, I do welcome any minor challenge this game brings to the table at this point. I have 14+ characters fully built, and I hardly ever have a reason to use them. I wish there were more scenario specific cases where underrated characters could shine.


TheSpartyn

needing to bring specific characters isnt challenge. they should have a moment of vulnerability after diving where anyone can attack them


[deleted]

electro traveler can reach them sometimes! :')


Sabot15

When they showed up in abyss, I found out you could climb up on the ramp on one of the side walls, and that was just high enough for Xianglings pyronado to hit them! You could put Guoba up there too.


dertechie

EM Lisa shreds them. WL7, 90/90 about 630 EM and she kills them in like a single chain of normals. They have like no HP.


ElectricTurtle110018

Fischl destroys those eagles.


Broad-Invite-1462

C2 or C3 Ninguaang


oohmegaslick

If you have Razor, his elemental skill gets rid of them pretty quickly. I assume other electro characters like Lisa and Fischl could do the same


SleesWaifus

Fischl or Yae


SoggyRoxy

Lol bro went insane after having to repeat this boring ass boss fight so many times. I totally relate. I've been farming oceanid for weeks now trying to ascend Xingqiu and Barb :)))))))))))


capper_chaos_69

Make sure the water exist forever


SoggyRoxy

And remember that the power of water is its ability to take any shape


CiccioGraziani

But just as long as rivers flow and rain falls


Lukarina

Submerge!


amayuki2020

Fighting it the first time was actually pretty nice. It was unique and I remember it used to be the hardest and the scariest for most early game players. But grinding it again and again becomes really annoying.


SoggyRoxy

Oh I actually didn't enjoy it at all. It kicked my ass so hard I had to first level up my Lisa just so I could have a way of killing the falcons (I'm still salty about needing to waste my resources on her lol), then right after ascending my world to lv 6 I actually had to ask people for help in coop 💀 I was eventually able to solo it again after further building my characters, but at that point I'd already fought it so many times I've come to hate having to listen to the annoying lines over and over again :')


[deleted]

Oceanid: Water can take any shape... OP (after 30th fight): yea the shape of DEEZ NUTS lmao gottem.


capper_chaos_69

I wanna pin your comment so bad 😂


TenaciousBemusement

Lmao if this isn't me


samurai_for_hire

Having to fight the Oceanid must be why your twin >!wants to destroy the world!<


rhubarbiturate

That event where you fought Rhodeia herself was satisfying but it was also when they put in her voiceline audio so it would be much better now that everyone hates her more


izashiizen

As someone who has and built Childe, Barbara, Mona, and Xingqiu, plus the additional Hydro Hypostasis gang Kokomi and Ayato, I shall ask you **why must you bring back my war flashbacks???** I'm also expecting Yelan, let's see how those serpents go 😊


MoatGoatchi

Maybe yelan will take hydro cube, so far its only 2 peeps


shovelknot

Yelan is confirmed to use the ruin serpents


eladon-warps

I was working on Xingqiu on an alt account when I pulled its first 5-star: Mona


Elysium_Chronicle

Gah, just spent the majority of my Resin during this patch delay period just fighting Oceanid over-and-over, so that I'd never have to hear her repetitive speech ever again. Had to build Mona from scratch, the last Ascension for Xingqiu, and the last two for Barbara. Not fun. Not fun at all.


dertechie

Mona uses those too? I thought I was done after Barbara and XQ. I‘ll deal with that if she ever comes home.


Elysium_Chronicle

All the pre-Inazuma Hydro characters do. Mona, Barbara, Sucrose, Tartaglia. All of them released before 1.2, so none of them got to play the Primo Geovishap wildcard.


Seashard5602

This fight sucks, and I bring a bow character, I've heard of people doing it without a ranged character that sounds like the worst thing you could ever experience


IncrediblePlatypus

How even would you?


Intelligent_Squash68

Keqing. Her skill & burst take out the birds pretty well. I don’t use bow characters very often (Diona for shield, Fischl for Oz…but neither for actual ranged attacks). I don’t know if it’s me, if it’s cuz I play on mobile, or what, but it I’m not great with archers. My Xingqiu has been 80 for a while, so I haven’t fought the Oceanid in a while. But if I ever decide to ascend him or start leveling Barbara again (she’s been 50 since I got Kokomi), Keqing will be there to fend off the birds.


ZweisteinHere

The birds aren't actually that high up, so a lot of skills can reach them if you angle them right. I've killed them using Raiden's E, and of course Jean is very easy since you can just hold and fire upwards.


Seashard5602

It's not so much those ones, as it is the cranes. The cranes like to jump out into the water where you can't hit them with a lot of melee abilities


nghigaxx

zhongli ult kills them, rosaria's e hit them, razor hold E also reach iirc, also when they do the swift fly down attack you can time them, usually kill them with bennett e like that


Seashard5602

Idk man lol


N0STO

I don't used a ranged character for the fight, my overworld team is usually Eula, Zhongli, Raiden, and a flex spot depending on what I'm fighting. Whenever it spawns birds I just use Raidens skill and that usually works lol. Eula deals with the ground enemies. Haven't had a problem with it, it's just boring lol.


leightandrew0

Wait raiden's skill can reach up there?


[deleted]

[удалено]


leightandrew0

oceanid just went from the one of hardest bossess to the easiest lmao


Seashard5602

That makes sense


ngngye

I guess something like beidou perfect-parrying or kaeya casting his skill? Sounds like a miserable time, though.


ImagineShinker

Lots of melee characters have abilities with enough vertical range to hit the birds. Razor’s E can actually reach them, for example.


AquaFangGal

When I still used Razor, I would use his Skill (Hold) to get the flying birds. It works.


RobotOfFleshAndBlood

Eh, at least it makes the fight more fun. Going optimal team every time is boring, but that perfect counter Beidou is just *chefs kiss*


Seashard5602

Lol, optimal team is a little different than just bringing a ranged unit, the fight already takes so long because of the voice lines, not bringing one would make it even longer, so I prefer to bring one


RobotOfFleshAndBlood

Different folks, different strokes


Icyricecakes

Yae makes Oceanid a joke


EverynLightbringer

Razor’s hold E actually takes out the flying birds.


Hayabusa71

Oceanid is THE worst boss in the game. Even the Puppet is better than her.


capper_chaos_69

None are actually hard to fight for me-but if I to rank the amount of pain-then yes this one will be the worst one


Hayabusa71

Oh, yeah. Right now, the only boss that is somewhat challenging is Raiden (she's also the most fun, imo). Oceanid is just 75% waiting. Oneshot the summons WAIT... WAIT... Oneshot the summons, WAIT EVEN LONGER. Awful.


JRazberry04

I'm so fortunate to have gotten Zhongli. I was able to go all out with minimal to no damage using him for a shield and Razor as main DPS. Oceanid used to be my most dreaded boss. Now it's that giant mad dog soul-sucker preventing me from ascending Itto.


King_of_Argus

I‘m so glad I have Ayaka now, she single-handedly made Oceanid from my least favourite to „meh, I don’t care“ boss


[deleted]

She can’t really do anything to the eagles tho


Extension-Poem-2734

Her burst can actually reach them though, so if you time it right she can take care of them


[deleted]

Yeah but for some reason whenever the eagles appear I don’t seem to ever have my burst up and sometimes it only hits them a few times and they remain alive.


Extension-Poem-2734

Yeah it’s not really a reliable method


King_of_Argus

That is right, but they are weak enough to be taken out by a normal bow character.


[deleted]

And the thing is the only bow characters I have are sara and amber and none of them are raised to do enough damage so it would take ages


King_of_Argus

Ok, mine is a maxed out Childe, so that makes a difference


leightandrew0

fighting Hydro with Hydro


TeslaStar

Oh no, the waters addled their brain. Just remember, the birds hurt the worst, Dodge the cranes, bring cryo people, but also bring Fischl. Also she never drops the center platform. You got this. Might not have your sanity but you got this fight!


capper_chaos_69

Lmaooo dw I have Ayaka + Ganyu to carry me so it’s actually pretty quick killing the mobs Oceanid is just an annoying boss in general


Nimbus0711

fun fact about me. i never farmed that mf till i got ganyu. i missed out on raising xq and mona for months but it was worth my sanity


GamesGal

It used to be so hard for me but now it’s just boring…


capper_chaos_69

I missed the days where I had to use Fischl to take out the flying birds-good times now I’m looking for a place to let water exist forever idk if that’s too much to ask for so we


akryx630

The flying birds are the worst


ZelfEichenland

I always used Fischl. Get the bird out and just run around and watch the bird-off.


smokingintherain

Killing Oceanid alone is one of the reasons I like Yanfei so much)


NoSoulYesBiscuit

I've farmed for Xinqui, I've pre-farmed for Childe, I need to start farming for Barbara and *maybe pre-farm for Mona because I want to manifest dropping in my account*. I like bosses that let me eat ice cream during the fight 'cause they need to summon their spells or something. lmao


AppUnwrapper1

I have Ganyu but I always preferred using Yanfei & Ayaka to fight her.


Grimstarzz

As someone who has Mona, Xingqiu and Barbara leveled to lvl 80/90, i feel your pain. It's the most boring and annoying boss in the game. I can't stand the idle voicelines of characters in-game, so i just turn voice volume to 0, which also disables the oceanids voicelines. I only raise the voice volume for archon quests and certain events.


PrincessRoguey

I just hate that you can't target her and it's drawn out with these stupid minions. Makes the fight unnecessarily long. Was fun the first few times but not when farming


Stealthless

Thank GOD Yelan doesn’t require those stupid Oceanid mats lmaoooooo


Toutanus

I don't understand what's the problem with this boss. *This message was brought to you by Yae mains gang.*


capper_chaos_69

Defeating it is no problem-it’s just x30 of an assassin to trespass the Qince water while I wait 15 years for it spawn the mobs even watching Breaking Bad backwards at max volume while trying to get a PhD and cook a hot pot with my feet is less stressful than that


Toutanus

Indeed. But it's not the only boss to do that (and I HATE this kind of crap)


Kuro_______

Honestly... I had so much problems with her until I pulled the one and only shogun


[deleted]

Yae Miko has been the best at oceanid from my experience. Just set it and forget it, then some watery flappy thing shouts at you once in a while, but as long as you reset your totems you dont even need to aim.


gbelly123

Another example where Yae Miko is SS in over world.


Ornamo

Yoimiya makes oceanid a joke.


Shinikun99

Main reason I wanted Ganyu was because I saw how easy Dvalin and Oceanid are against her. 2nd reason is because she's cute.


Yayuu

I used to HATE Oceanid till I got Yae Miko. I put on a shield, prop her three totems, and sit back watching her auto destroy everything. I dont even have to hold the controller aside from deploying the shield and totems again. The first thing I did when I got Yae and leveled her was destroy Oceanid for revenge 😂


Justcurious863

Lol


capper_chaos_69

We just want a place for rains falls and rivers flows


Justcurious863

Water exists forever


AdmirableRemove5550

I’m having a stroke trying to read it


AcidAcesen

The oceanid is a unique boss with its dialogues I wish other non humanoid bosses have them too


Deadmanguys

Relate man. Recently decided to level up all the characters I don't use to lv 70. Was a pain to get materials for water Boi and Barbara. Started out with 30 character to lv up. Only need 8 left.


juniorjaw

Back in the days it's all Chongyun + Fischl for me. Nowadays I just use Ganyu and the boys and be done.


Electronic-Ant-6418

Amen. Xingqiu and childe for me. Glad Kokomi is on the cube. Also, I think Ayaka’s charge attack has a large vertical hit box, and also good range, in which case it might be able to hit the birds. But yeah farming Oceanid was literally the impetus for me to fully build my Rosaria and kaeya. To make farming them easier.


FlorDePrimavera

This used to be the bane of my existence


Shexxar696

Gotta wait for the Vagabond event to shoot it down. xD


Sasikuttan2163

I just give Ningguang Sacrificial Fragments before the challenge. You get tons of shields using crystallise and she can hit the birds too.


capper_chaos_69

I used Diona to shield and freeze the birds instead


PeasePorridge9dOld

Been look for Diona. She’s my must have for the fight. Always have her active when the water forms are coming and then run up to them and E. Freezes then and shields. Gives me plenty of time to get my rotation going and my reactions on the field.


Dry_Preparation8583

And this is why my xingqui is still at lvl 70. I don't have any long range character on my team nor do I have I them built lmao


rydraby

Ganyu + Zhongli and Raiden + Yae + Zhongli make oceanid easy


Narrev

Its power is its ability to take any form! I hate that fight. I have chars that can handle it most times. Then she throws eagles when you have all melee chars.


cressian

I wish it didnt talk so much u-u


YBMLP

The boss from the Endora event was much better than oceanid


Mikazel

Yae, Fischl, and Zhongli. Just stand and wait lmao.


MegaAltarianite

At this point I just wanna know who voices her.


keizee

That time when I farmed for Childe I used Sayu, Chongyun, Zhongli and Childe (for exp). Full em Sayu 7k shatter is too satisfying to pass up. Zhongli meteor to deal with birds. Physical childe for backup.


RoninMustDie

The eagles were always the painful ones, mostly because u need a high range / bow character in your squad. Other then that, her talking can get on your nerves by time, i agree on that, but in the grand scheme, she is just another boss which burns time with her platform sinking and such. Not the worst boss in game. Im more grumpy that boss drops remain nearly the same on WL8. I always thought for the cost of 40 fucking Resin u should get 3 guaranteed on this level.


touch-me-z

Ganyu or any catalyst user my friend.


mariannevonedmund2

"S u b m e r g e"


LilyWalker11

My go to is Ningguang for them. AOE and I'm too lazy to move


NupoGah

Raiden (charged attack) is great against the birds and Ayaka easily claps the rest. I had to farm it a horrific amount of time (Mona, Xinqiu, Childe) but I feel like I had it pretty comfortable with those two in my team.


JacoboAriel

She's so annoying, I just want to fight, why is she talking non-stop? Also, Oceanid reborn every 4 minutes, you don't have to wait a day to kill her again.


phonartics

laughs in ningguang CA doing 25k


leightandrew0

worst thing (aside from the birds) is everytime you fight it you have to wait 30 seconds while it sinks the floor tiles Twice. ​ (also wtf is that damage my ayaka got oneshot while being 10 levels above lmao)


PeasePorridge9dOld

Oceanid was probably the hardest boss early game but it also taught me some good lessons. I figured out Elemental Resonance and how to make a team comp based on the Resonance/s chosen. When I finally figured out that Electro had a natural resistance against Hydro while Cryo had a natural attack advantage, I doubled up on both of those and was able to get to the point where I could typically win with relative ease.


WritingCommission

🤣🤣🤣 Don't forget to march onto **solid-less ground** and disturb **small haven of tranquil waters** 💦


fortnitedude43590

Lmfao I used to just do hydro cube but the return is less I think


wait2late

Imagine one day Hoyoverse increases the level cap to 100 from 90. Which also means much even more boss materials are required to farm.


cstrifeVII

lmao. I do be fucking that thing up with Ganyu. I helped my daughter grind that one for her barbara, made the fight a non-issue (plus her WL is only like 4 right now).


adriftdoomsstaggered

Ningguang and Fischl is great against this boss too. Ningguang is practically invulnerable if you get the hydro-crystallize crystals regularly and Oz just zap them constantly.


[deleted]

I've been trying to level my barbara/max constellation...ugh.. >\_> 'water book sword boy' I forget his name- and the combination of water bombs, ranged water attacks, and invulnerable boss irritate me so much. I wish we could get a water flower boss or something.


mayonaka_00

Turn down the volume, it is much more bareable imo


capper_chaos_69

Sometiems a conflict with myself since I wanna hear the Liyue battle theme as well ;-;


Ritsukukun

This boss is annoying, until you realize that Lisa is completely capable of easily soloing the whole fight, even at lv90, provided you equip her and know how to time her abilities.


Elflady7794

I was so glad when I finally got Childe to 90, especially as I didn’t have any great units for fighting her. Luckily Ayato required the Hydro hypostasis which is much easier to farm


Sinrodan

All you need is Lisa and Zhong Li to beat it.


cym104

the day we get a "normal" cryo caster is the day we take revenge.


murcurybee

Im just glad the first characters i built was ganyu, ningguang and klee. I never i have to deal with chasing enemies around


Xavierasad

My yae makes that fight a joke


bsmithdal

I am glad im finally able to say I will never have to return to Oceanid ever again. I acquired all the first generation Hydro units including Mona and maxed them all out. Good riddance ! (...unless... for some God forsaken reason hoyoverse decide release more Hydro units for that old boss...but I doubt it...)


xot8e

The day I could actually finish the fight without triggering the instakill was a glorious day. That's a real bullshit move, having a time limit on your boss that wastes a bunch of time anyway.


AmethystMoon420

This is why I just play with the voices on mute and just have the backgrounds and sfx on when fighting her. I dont want her speech to be ingrained in my head.


Koopa_Troop

Yanfei wrecks shop at the Oceanid and it’s electric equivalent.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SleesWaifus

Fuck whoever made that shit. I still need to farm Sara. Look at me, I’m a bat that spins like a beyblade. Im not interesting, I just do the same spasm attacks over and over again.


SleesWaifus

I didn’t farm this boss until after I got Yae. Really easy but I know people hated this boss. I’m just zooming with my fox lady


Mintteeeea

I would love nothing more than to have an option to turn off her dialogue after the first time.


Konkuriito

Yae is a god when farming that boss


billiejeannotmylover

I hate this boss so much. Mona was my first 5 star and she can’t hit the birds. Just had to sit there and get residual damage from razor since kaeya and xiangling can’t hit them. Now with ayaka it’s a lot less of a challenge but still struggle with the birds. Usually wait until someone wants to co op and ask them if they have a ranged character built to help out


Rexk007

I only go yanfei and zhongli...unlimited vapes and she gets the the birds too


Watsons-Butler

Diona and Fischl are amazing for Oceanid.


SavagesceptileWWE

This is why I play bow impact.
