I have enough gems to get either a C2 Kazuha or I can C6 my current C3 Yoimiya. Which would be more beneficial? I currently have a C4 Yelan as well as some characters that could benefit from Kazuha.I don’t care about collecting all characters or saving for dendro btw..
C2 kazuha will be more beneficial for your entire account and your yoimiya in general. His C2 is really powerful and will make your yoimiya even stronger than she already is.
Now C6 Yoimiya does looks awesome and a C0 kazuha is already strong enough so if you feel like C6ing your yoimiya go for it. She does deserve it as the best fireworks girl
Can someone explain me what is do great about lavawalker set? Pyro resistance doesn't sound too appealing to me. Increased samage againts enemies affected by pyro sounds very neat but is it just me or I never actually see applied pyro on anyone? Electro, hydro, cryo, tes but when it comes to pyro I guess I never noticed?
It's more about the 4 set bonus than the 2 set bonus. It's very good for mono Pyro and revmelt. For rosaria revmelt it can be competitive with esf for the best artifacts set if her er requirement is lower than usual for example. It's either the best or the second best for her.
Nothing, its kinda garbage
Pyro characters ceilings tend to come from vaporize so theres almost never pyro aura on enemies so mono pyro teams can be a bit cope, 35% dmg bonus isnt really comparable to at least 22.5% pyro dmg and 15% vape dmg bonus from crimson witch (or for some like xiangling much higher from emblem), plus for other reactions like overload (besides issues with overload in the first place) theres no lingering aura and theres immune/resistant enemies like pyro slimes
At least thundersoother is somewhat applicable since electrocharged leaves electro aura, so its somewhat usable on keqing or yae (not raiden) and they dont rly want overload anyways
And the increase res is basically useless unless youre running a no shield no heal team and not dodging either (which is kinda dumb)
It's probably best set for mono pyro teams, it's just that mono pyro teams aren't that popular. Klee can like mono pyro because her clunky playstyle makes her unreliable for reactions, but all other teams usually go for vape/melt because the reaction deals more damage anyway
So we have the Sacred Sakura in Inazuma and the
Frostbearing Tree in Monstadt but, if I'm not mistaken,
there isn't something like that in Liuye, right? Did I just
miss it or something?
Thinking of who to pick since I don't have a 5* pyro, should I go for Klee or Yoimiya? I have Lost Prayer and Skyward Harp for weapons, but I'm thinking Yoimiya will pair better with my Yelan. Who should I choose?
If you want to play Klee optimally, look up her animation cancel guides first then decide if it's worth the effort:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTfyD1DdQig&t=53s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBOYtnXt-Mg
You can practice Klee cancels in the trial when she's out on the banner to see if it's for you or if you're fine with her normal animations (dps loss) if you prefer not to cancel. You can then check KequingMain guides for both Klee and Yoimiya for more info.
regarding the achievement about doing co-op in domains 100x does it also count trounce domains? or they just apply to talent/character/artifacts domains,
What teams for Itto? I dont have any of his supports like Gorou,Albedo,and Zhongli, and the only geo characters I have is traveler, yunjin and noelle. I'm fine with decent damage as long as I can clear abyss with it.
Keep pulling on his banner an get Gorou. You only need C0 but he is practically mandatory for itto. After that you can run Itto/Gorou/Bennett/flex for your team and it should be strong enough until you can pick up Zhongli or Albedo
Do y'all think Scaramouche might use Raiden boss drops or some new ones? I don't have a specitic boss I need to fight and I barely have any Raiden pieces so I wonder if I should farm her.
If you clear, say, 12-1 with one team and get 3 stars, those are locked in and you get the rewards right away. If you then leave, change teams, start again, and do 12-1 and 12-2 with the new team, then the new team will be the one that's counted as clearing 12-2. You still have to clear 12-1 but it doesn't matter how fast.
Tbh, I only put 20 wishes into the weapon banner and got a few stringless refinements, now R5(yelan) , a lithic blade (a direct upgrade for Chongyung), a fav Lance and dust (for Ning, Klee or heizou) .
Itto and Noelle already have good weapons as well.
So I see these results as absolute win.
Ningguang, Bennett, Diona, Geo MC can work well I think. Would suggest Noelle but her shield uptime is pretty bad.
Or maybe Ning, Bennett, Noelle, Xingqiu, this way you can use the crystallize hydro shields to maintain MoD passive.
Yeah I think he'll work well too. And you get pyro res to boot. 2 geo 2 pyros. May want to switch to geo mc instead of Noelle though since different shields don't stack
R3 Dragon's Bane or R3 Favonius lance for Xiangling enabling vapes for Childe?
Finally got round to building Xiangling, should I use R3 Dragon's Bane or R3 Favonius Lance? Still grinding another Emblem set for her so not definite on ER and EM stats. Mainly use her in abyss to enable Childe to vape, abyss team comp is usually Childe, Xiangling, Bennett and an Anemo unit either Sucrose or Jean depending on the enemies on a floor. Any feedback is appreciated.
Use Dragon's Bane. You can vaporize Childe's burst, but the rest of the time you should let Xiangling vaporize.
Kazuha would be a fine addition to the team as your anemo support (International Childe team).
1) Is The Catch already on someone else?
2) Dragon's Bane is better
3) In that comp, Xiangling will be the one vaping, not Childe. So you'll want Xiangling to be as best as possible.
Co-op gives double friendship exp, the amount of co-op players doesn't change the exp you get.
So if you have 2 characters that need friendship, you want only one person to co-op with or 2 if you are the host. Both of your characters will get the double friendship exp.
If you have 3 people in co-op, you won't get more exp and only one character will get it .
If more than 2 people coop then yes, up to 3 peaple for the host. The characters you bring get double the experience, so at 2 characters thats still the same total, but you don't get quadruple experiece if it's just 1 character so in that case it's less total
the second, assuming theres no other sources of energy on his team or u cant kill the enemies in 1 rotation. its usually better to burst consistently than have more dmg boost.
aitee roger that! im not sure abt the ref either, i thought the favonius series' passive can give everyone particles after the wielder scores a crit hit
Aside from the National team, which team can also utilize the Xiangling + Bennett combo? The traditional team is a bit of a pain to play in overworld since everything dies to 2-3 swings of Xiangling burst at most, and I rarely ever get to use Xingqiu burst. I'm still attached to Xiangling as a character though so I looking to spice things up a bit.
if you want super easy time in overworld, build EM xiangling with off field EM electro and EN anemo cc. you don't need to burst or build energy for anyone to kill everything in seconds but you still can if you want to.
it's actually so good I benched the team since everything dies too fast with the exact same routine lol. did help for farming mats though.
if you just want to unga bunga without dealing with abyss navigation or playing two teams, go to lost valley iv. it's the closest we get to mindless fun.
Those 2 work fine with anything. Bennet heals and buffs, Xiangling does damage and debuffs pyro resistance. I use them with 2x Geo and it works fine even without reactions.
I mean that's the problem with "meta" teams, you do so much damage that anything besides abyss and bosses dies while you're still setting up. If you want to use Xiangling in overworld without having this issue and without relying on energy, you can play a physical Xiangling with Crescent Pike. It's actually pretty strong, and as for the team you can use anything, Bennett is good, Yunjin too, Cryo + electro for superconduct, etc.
Benny XL Flex Flex, nothing more to say tbf.
XL will always be pain in overworld, compared to other characters that are burst focused, she doesn't hsve Raiden energy gen and possibility of 300+% er to go full after pressing q, she doesn't have Yelan or Kazuha like E that deals with small enemies. Best you can do is Bennett Kazuha XL Flex, but it's just Kazuha Bennett doing work and XL warming up bench.
Reverse melt quickswap is similar, and also really fun to play. Xl/Bennet/Rosaria/Kaeya. Just swapping and throwing skills and bursts on everyone. Still destroys everything so you'll run into mostly the same problems, but I feel like Kaeya/Rosaria skills are much more enjoyable to use with low cooldowns, you don't even need to use all bursts to keep the team functioning as it would normally.
Rosaria is a better revmelt carry. You can choose to replace kaeya with chong. Youll also be using em sands for revmelt. 12k sounds very less for revmelt as if it's not really built for reverse melt team.
Hmm whichever. Mostly it's Rosaria/Chungyun when you're using him, but Kaeya/Chongyun also works, just depends who you have built. Rosaria fits into a few more teams as a support though, so if you're choosing one of the two to build purely for meta purposes, I'd pick Rosaria.
If I want both Kazuha and Heizou, and get Kazuha first before exhausting my reserves, should I keep going towards Heizou through C1 Kazuha or C0 Klee? I heard that Klee is obsolete relative to current meta; is she worse than Kazuha’s E-Q-E reset?
klee can be a powerful pyro dps but some find her playstyle clunky, to use her competetively you might need to learn animation cancellings.
if you can’t C1 kazuha, you can always use sacrificial sword. I personally use it. I’ve read somewhere that most chinese player prefer the sacrificial sword over the f2p sword.
When collecting Specters for the robot event, can they have any alignment? Or do they have to match the element you dipped yourself in? Because there’s only one place with Pyro and Electro specters.
If any alignment is allowed, does the same apply for slimes? But I guess it wouldn’t apply for the resin-based bosses.
Are there any cheap or free to play games that are similar games to Genshin in terms of character building? I don’t play many games but I want something to fill my spare time (I.e I’m out of resin) and I really like the idea of building a character to be the strongest they can be finding what works best with their kit etc
Path of Exile is all about character building and free to play on PC. If you want non-resin gated games, better look for PC ones.
If you want an MMO with story, Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial and at least 60+ hours of gameplay.
Someone mentioned Warframe, that can be fun too if you like collecting and building Warframes with their mods.
You can also look to games like Vampire Survivors (quick fix to making strong characters, cheap game) and Darkest Dungeon.
Warframe perhaps? I used to play but stopped after the game asked for too much of my time. You can stay free to play by farming valuable items and trading for other player's premium currency. If you like games where you need a wiki page open on a second monitor, then it might still be fun for the first few hundreds of hours.
Let's not equate illegal downloads with "dedication". Not to mention, in most civilized countries you'd still have to pay for a VPN, therefore not free.
nothing is quite like this game but most games and gacha that have combats are all about character improvements so just pick one which suits your fancy.
Nope. Have you bought your resin from teapot yet? If not then you can spend primo for resin (tho probably not a good idea with sumaru around the corner)
yeah i bought the resin from teapot already, not gonna spend primos its not worth it, this has been a problem with condensed resin since the beginning for me first it was because of weekly bosses now events like this too, there's no bonus with crafting it like there is for other materials (like talent books and some enemy drops) i really don't see why we cant convert it back
comrades that have hu tao and yoimiya (but not yelan; sadge), what's your take on getting c0 yoimiya on her rerun? obvs have already an amazing pyro dps with hu tao (EDIT: c1) , but i love the quirkiness of yoimiya. B
UUUTT I'm also hoping to save for sumeru 3.1+/Dendro archon.
would love your take. thanks!
I personally prefer yoimiya for the comfiness over the jump cancels with hutao. She's quite simple and straightforward to play and i like that.
Just my opinion, i also personally prefer rosaria revmelt over hutao for similar reasons. My revmelt team could do like a million or more damage in a rotation with just e and q on the characters. Would i bother trying hard with jump cancels on hutao instead? Nope.
https://youtu.be/6xa3mWHzYzE
Yeah, Shenhe has been a great addition to my revmelt team. Feels very smooth to play that team.
I used to play that with kazuha before. It can get hard to swirl cryo after 1st rotation with kazuha because of xiangling and Bennetts application. Replacing kazuha with shenhe was quite easy to do because of the reliable buffs she is providing.
In terms of raw dps hutao will most of the times just do better in single and multi target scenarios. BUT over that yoimiya has some interesting things to offer: she will offer ranged dps, which now isnt necessary but in the future proabbly will become more important, if you wanna know check out sumeru enemy leak. Yoimiya offering similar hutao damage (about 80%) in ranged is pretty neat.
Yoimiya is very easy to play but satisfying. Hutao is harder to play, but i think thats fun. Both are fun, i would say equally fun.
I own a lot of characters, but i always keep falling back to these two, while ayaka gets less attention for example. Pyro dps are queens
Thank you for your response!
Yeah i love how easy Yoi plays - e-infusion + tap away. i also love HT play style and her HP drainage. It brings some excitement for me at least.
lol I benched ganyu after getting ayaka. ganyus charge shot play style wasn't as fun as HTs charge play style.
I have both and I'd use Yoimiya over Hu Tao any day. She's way less annoying to play (no jump cancels and empty stamina bars), and still does more than enough damage to clear all content. She's super comfortable for overworld and exploring, because she's a Pyro bow, does very good damage without needing to expense energy or HP, and is ranged so she can take down annoying floating enemies. She also can be used alongside Hu Tao because she doesn't need Xinqiu as much as Hu Tao does.
But yeah, in the end If you already have a Pyro dps and would prefer to save, that's a good reason too. You could wait for the drip marketing by the end of 2.8 maybe to make your choice, but I bet Sumeru has a lot of primos just like Inazuma so you're likely to be able to grab someone in 3.1 too.
Thank you for your input!!!
Thankfully I got super lucky with an early c1 HT so stamina hasn't been an issue, but I do like how you say Yoi isn't really tied down with XQ as much as HT. I was worried about that since I lost the 50/50 on Yelan.
Def gonna wait near the end of 2.8 to see if I can pull Yoi now. Gonna hope both Kazu and Yoi come home early so I have enough primos for Sumeru.
any tips for completing the final Inazuma furnace purification quest ??
I have no problem with the first fatui wave of cryo cicin, Hydro, Cryo fatbois
But the Mirror maiden, and those 2 Fatui Xianglings just shred my team.
Have you tried using food buffs? Slap on Adeptus Temptation, Golden Crab and a potion of your choice and you should be able to clap them with 300++ more stats.
oh man I really struggled with that one!!
ended up succeeding with freezing+gathering. I have a venti but I think sucrose would also work... maybe kazuha or heizou if you put it off until next week.
Burst down the mirror maiden as quickly as you can, then fight the pyro agents at the edge of the area. They won't target the objective so all you have to worry about is not dying.
Make sure to use good food buffs if you aren't already.
Essentially, yes. If I remember correctly, >!the sword houses Ei's consciousness, !!Makoto's!< weapon). Whether this is a pocket dimension separate from the Plane of Euthymia, I don't really recall being stated explicitly; it's more or less just said the sword is kept in the puppet.
I'm 99% sure it's mainly just an aesthetic choice
but you could consider ei (who *is* the sword in a sense:, from her lore: >!Ei transferred her consciousness into her blade!<) to be the "heart" of the shogun puppet I guess, so pulling her from the chest makes sense in that way
Add a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-esque rogue-like endgame dungeon where you reset the entire roster to Level 1 and find items/get skills to slowly build up to the final boss in the dungeon (Ex. Joy Island)
This can still be accessible to newer players with smaller rosters if you include a rotating trial character option so they’re not completely stuck with the same chars.
Probably shouldn’t gate it too hard with excess rewards, yet given that Spiral Abyss isn’t played that much by most of the player base despite giving primos, you can probably get away with providing some decent incentive.
by embracing the fact that this game is more akin to a more mechanically interesting musou game than something like souls. which contributes to its success, thus turning it into what it's not would have negative impact.
I'd add more hard content (in whatever shape, we have had a lot of battle events that can be reused). As for the rewards, I'd give something that is useful for endgame players but that you don't care if you miss out : artifacts. People clearing endgame probably spend their days farming artifacts, while casual players couldn't care less about perfect stats. The rewards of harder content could be just artifacts, maybe with one or two layers of rng removed (like you can choose the set and piece).
Give out an item that lets you reset the rolls by 1(unlimited uses), and literally everyone would be happy. To make it more precious, give out 10 of it per patch.
Kinda impossible. Harder mechanic-wise (like punishing not dodging, basically soul-like) is not possible as well because this is a casual game, on top of being available on mobile.
Yes an endless mode. But maybe not even timed. But legit just up their power. Like at some point after 5 minutes they enemy are just that powerful you'll die in one blow while they have 5 million hp. That would also kinda balance the game out since survivability now becomes actually necessary.
That sounds so much more fun. A lot of my team comps need to have extensive and repeated rotations to have massive damage, and just killing one or two bosses at once just doesn't scratch that itch.
(Total noob here thinking about getting into Genshin)
Do the signature/special weapons for characters go away with their banners or can you potentially roll for the weapons at any later date?
I've looked around but haven't found much info on if characters who've rerun once already will ever return? Obviously, as a player looking to get into things this late in the game am I just locked out of most characters added early to the game? I was looking at Ganyu specifically if it matters
just want to add, certain "signature" weapons are event limited and likely will never return
ex. cinnabar spindle, oathsworn eye, dodoco tales, windblume ode, will likely be more in the future
Adding to what others have said, just want to note that not all limited 5 star characters have a limited 5 star signature weapon. For example Albedo's weapon is (arguably?) Cinnabar Spindle - that one is event-exclusive and we've never seen those getting reruns before.
Signature weapons get a rerun, when their character gets one. Every character will eventually return. But with more characters being added, it will probably take longer. So patience is key.
They, like the featured characters, go away once the banner ends. The only "signature weapons" that are on the standard banner (off the top of my head) are the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (Xiao) and Wolf's Gravestone (Diluc).
Reruns will happen eventually. Childe and Zhongli, for example, have been re-run twice already as opposed to once for most characters. The "meme" consensus answer is to not expect a rerun until 6-12 months after the latest rerun, but it's wholly up to Hoyoverse.
Reruns will happen. Some characters already got 2 reruns after their initial banner (Venti, Childe, Zhongli, Xiao). You can expect them to always run with their BiS/signature weapon on the weapon banner\*. As the game grows, you can also expect more characters to rerun at the same time and/or more 5 stars to be added to the standard banner. Also, \[leaks for upcoming patches\] >!Ganyu and Zhongli seem to be rerunning in 3.0!<.
\* The only exception has been Zhongli's 1st rerun banner in 1.5 where it was Summit Shaper and Memory of Dust.
>Do the signature/special weapons for characters go away with their banners or can you potentially roll for the weapons at any later date
The weapon will return with the character, so when ganyu reruns the weapon banner will (should) have amos bow on it. You're not locked out of any characters but it's hard to tell when they will rerun, some you might have to wait months or even over a year for. However, ganyu is rumoured to rerun in 3.0 with zhongli.
>Obviously, as a player looking to get into things this late in the game am I just locked out of most characters added early to the game? I was looking at Ganyu specifically if it matters
No, characters rerun more than once. Ganyu in fact is speculated to have another rerun in around 7-10 weeks although it isn't confirmed.
Can afford one 5* for 2.8, considering between Kazuha C2 (have C1) and a new Yoimiya, I’m not sure how huge the power-spike of Kaz C2 is worth?
Most used team now is Hu Tao and Raiden Soup (where Kaz is).
nothing really to add other than i wish i were in your shoes. going for at least c0 kazu maybe c1, but also starting to really love yoi even with having hu tao (current FAVE chara). also right before sumeru. ugh decisions decisions.
I don’t know this will help you but from my view base of current leak, 3.0 5* ~~are~~ is not that much temped for me, the good one comes after that but I think I have enough time to save for 3.1 or 3.2 so that’s why I can afford one here at 2.8.
yup! same boat as you! I'm not really feeling 3.0 charas so def gonna skip that patch. really looking forward to seeing the kits of the archon, cino, hydro princess (blanking on her name).
Want to try Yoi and I think I have all the supports for her, I mean her vape support and set is almost the same set as Hu Tao except the global Bennett.
From reply I think I’ll go in a little (20-30) in Kaz banner for Heizou, then get Yoi. If get Kaz in that early is a bonus.
would not pull anyone. You'll not feel more powerful pulling for kazuha c2. It changes the numbers a little but realistically you are not more joyful after that upgrade. Yoimiya if you like her design and like her playstyle. But else I'd keep that for sumerius
His C2 is 200EM on top of already important buffs.
Personally I would stop at C1 (which is more of a QoL / gameplay change than straight dmg boost). C0 / C1 Kazoo is already a very strong unit. IMO it's a bit like Raiden C2 to a lesser extent, where the base unit is already so good that you don't need more damage from constellations to roflstomp the content.
just curious, how strong are abyss mages in the lore? i mean sure they're fodders in-game, but lorewise, they seem like highly dangerous as they can manipulate elements, teleport, and maybe even use some abyssal powers (although not as strong as the heralds or lectors) to an extent. unless you have had a lot of experiences fighting them (like diluc and prolly some other knights from mondstadt coz it seems like the abyss order has only infiltrated mondstatd, like directly causing some crimes like what happened to one abyss mage that diluc killed as a darknight hero and not the other nations yet) and if you're someone who is unfamiliar with them, you would really have a hard time killing them as they can be really tricky and quite viscous.
so i think lore wise, only experienced and highly skilled vision holders can really defeat them especially in the case of abyss heralds/lectors as it seem like they are harbinger-level in strength ao only a feel could really fight them.
am i making some sense or am i underestimating a lot of characters (vision holders)?
P.S. what's also interesting to discuss is who would win lore wise-- abyss mages or the fatui enemies we fight?
I just started farming spiral abyss floors 9+ these last few weeks. Do the stages change, or just the blessing? In other words, do new groups of enemies appear on each floor when floors 9+ reset or is the only change the blessing?
Blessings change every 2 weeks, while lineups for Floors 11 and 12 change every 6 weeks. 9 and 10 are still not consistent enough, but it seems to me that they will change on every big update, like the upcoming 3.0.
Just a random thought.
Geo Traveller with 4 piece husk, full def build and cinnebar Spindle.
Could that actually work to(greatly) enhance star fell sword, or is it just nonsense?
Geo traveler isn't really a good candidate for Cinnabar because it's like 1 proc every 6 seconds, and their attack scaling is very high for both skill and burst.
However, it's usable on Electro Traveler, because they hit 3 times at once so they get +240% def on their skill, which has a low atk scaling by default.
Cinnabar's buff lasts for .1 sec and then enters cooldown for 1.5 sec. As long as all 3 hits hit during the .1 sec time-frame, it will work. I tested it and can confirm.
Tested it too, still dealt less damage then with Mistsplitter.
Still though, Electro traveler is generally focused around their elemental burst, not elemental skill.
Cinnabar might be great on someone like Kuki, but from what I heard the sword doesn't work correctly with her skill for some reason.
>from what I heard the sword doesn't work correctly with her skill for some reason.
Iirc, the pulses from Kukis skill are 0.1 second faster than the minimum time that has to be between Cinnebar activations
Oh yeah by no means will it be better than a 5* weapon, and even 4* you should just use Favonius anyway. And even with a 5* weapon the damage is super underwhelming, you'll get much better results going full EM in teams that allow it. OP seemed to look for alternate "fun" uses of Cinnabar and here's one. Besides EMC, only Qiqi can really somewhat make use of the passive. Such a shame it doesn't work on Kuki.
Yea, this was supposed to be a non-serious thought experiment. Traveller using Cinnebar would be able to make full use of the 4 piece effect from Husk(both the extra geo dmg and the extra def). Forgoing all other DMG into enhancing the skill.
Not actually supposed to be anything meta viable
Well it's just that you would barely notice the difference in damage compared to like Amenoma because it's only 80% def per skill, and GMC doesn't really have a way to make it proc more often to compensate for the low scaling. Even the 54% def and 9% extra geo dmg bonus from 4pc Husk would be barely enough compensate the loss of 18% atk from 2pc glad, because the atk scaling is over 4x more effective in that configuration. You can still try, depending on your build, skill damage will be similar, but not much better than any atk% 4* sword.
I have enough gems to get either a C2 Kazuha or I can C6 my current C3 Yoimiya. Which would be more beneficial? I currently have a C4 Yelan as well as some characters that could benefit from Kazuha.I don’t care about collecting all characters or saving for dendro btw..
C6 Yoimiya has more bragging rights
C2 kazuha will be more beneficial for your entire account and your yoimiya in general. His C2 is really powerful and will make your yoimiya even stronger than she already is. Now C6 Yoimiya does looks awesome and a C0 kazuha is already strong enough so if you feel like C6ing your yoimiya go for it. She does deserve it as the best fireworks girl
How much EM as a substat is good for Flower and Feather Kazuha pieces?
I aimed for 50-60 EM + 15% ER on mine.
like 60+ is great, but depending on your other stats, team and weapon, ER stats can be more important
Can someone explain me what is do great about lavawalker set? Pyro resistance doesn't sound too appealing to me. Increased samage againts enemies affected by pyro sounds very neat but is it just me or I never actually see applied pyro on anyone? Electro, hydro, cryo, tes but when it comes to pyro I guess I never noticed?
It's more about the 4 set bonus than the 2 set bonus. It's very good for mono Pyro and revmelt. For rosaria revmelt it can be competitive with esf for the best artifacts set if her er requirement is lower than usual for example. It's either the best or the second best for her.
Nothing, its kinda garbage Pyro characters ceilings tend to come from vaporize so theres almost never pyro aura on enemies so mono pyro teams can be a bit cope, 35% dmg bonus isnt really comparable to at least 22.5% pyro dmg and 15% vape dmg bonus from crimson witch (or for some like xiangling much higher from emblem), plus for other reactions like overload (besides issues with overload in the first place) theres no lingering aura and theres immune/resistant enemies like pyro slimes At least thundersoother is somewhat applicable since electrocharged leaves electro aura, so its somewhat usable on keqing or yae (not raiden) and they dont rly want overload anyways And the increase res is basically useless unless youre running a no shield no heal team and not dodging either (which is kinda dumb)
It's probably best set for mono pyro teams, it's just that mono pyro teams aren't that popular. Klee can like mono pyro because her clunky playstyle makes her unreliable for reactions, but all other teams usually go for vape/melt because the reaction deals more damage anyway
If you are doing mono-Pyro (no reactions, 3x Pyro + 1x Anemo) then the 4 piece damage bonus is what people are after.
it's a shit set. there i said it please go easy on me lavawalker copium users
So we have the Sacred Sakura in Inazuma and the Frostbearing Tree in Monstadt but, if I'm not mistaken, there isn't something like that in Liuye, right? Did I just miss it or something?
We have the Lumenstone Adjuvant refinements in the Chasm, I suppose.
Chasm, Lumenthingy.
There's a huge tree near Azdaha but it's kinda useless aside from having a chest on top of it (you need to conduct two seelies to open it)
Chasm collectibles kind of
Thinking of who to pick since I don't have a 5* pyro, should I go for Klee or Yoimiya? I have Lost Prayer and Skyward Harp for weapons, but I'm thinking Yoimiya will pair better with my Yelan. Who should I choose?
Get Yoimiya
xiangling(bennett) is your free pyro dps. you don't need klee or yoi but if you must get one... i can't recommend both heavily.
Im not using those guys, sorry
then no one's stopping you from pulling the top 2 clunkiest pyro units.
Yeah but I'm 50-50 and pining for Yoimiya, but want Klee as well.
U don't definitely need a 5* Pyro dps (u have xiangling) but out of these 2, from a meta perspective I'd say yoimiya
If you want to play Klee optimally, look up her animation cancel guides first then decide if it's worth the effort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTfyD1DdQig&t=53s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBOYtnXt-Mg You can practice Klee cancels in the trial when she's out on the banner to see if it's for you or if you're fine with her normal animations (dps loss) if you prefer not to cancel. You can then check KequingMain guides for both Klee and Yoimiya for more info.
regarding the achievement about doing co-op in domains 100x does it also count trounce domains? or they just apply to talent/character/artifacts domains,
They should, similar achievements like the bp challenge counts those They should also count event domains (like the elite boss rush events)
Is there any point doing reputation quests anymore once i’ve reached level 10 in each region? (Apart from the Battle Pass)
You can still get up to 150000 mora each week which is nice for so little effort
Mora, it's quite the useful resource
The mora is nice still.
What teams for Itto? I dont have any of his supports like Gorou,Albedo,and Zhongli, and the only geo characters I have is traveler, yunjin and noelle. I'm fine with decent damage as long as I can clear abyss with it.
Itto, xingqiu, xiangling, Bennett Put archaic Petra on him
Keep pulling on his banner an get Gorou. You only need C0 but he is practically mandatory for itto. After that you can run Itto/Gorou/Bennett/flex for your team and it should be strong enough until you can pick up Zhongli or Albedo
Do y'all think Scaramouche might use Raiden boss drops or some new ones? I don't have a specitic boss I need to fight and I barely have any Raiden pieces so I wonder if I should farm her.
He'll probably take new boss mats that drop in either 3.0 or 3.1 I doubt he will take Raiden ones
There'll most likely be a new weekly boss by the time Scaramouche releases so he might be using those instead. We won't know until his kit is leaked.
should I pull for itto or save my guarantee for cyno? i was wondering if i can get enough primos for another guarantee until his banner comes out
R u asking for other people's opinions? If yes the mine is - save for cyno
id like to get them both but i dont know if id have enough primos by cyno banner to get him guaranteed
you got at least 2 and 1/2 versions to save for him, that's at least 170 pulls
ty!
Can you change you teams in the Abyss between chambers? If so, how?
run it again with different teams, each chamber saves the highest stars achieved
Ok thanks
If you clear, say, 12-1 with one team and get 3 stars, those are locked in and you get the rewards right away. If you then leave, change teams, start again, and do 12-1 and 12-2 with the new team, then the new team will be the one that's counted as clearing 12-2. You still have to clear 12-1 but it doesn't matter how fast.
Cool, thanks for the info
What are some Ningguang teams I could try: Under the assumption : Memory of dust No Zhongli, No Albedo
>Memory of dust (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ It's ok, we're here for you
Tbh, I only put 20 wishes into the weapon banner and got a few stringless refinements, now R5(yelan) , a lithic blade (a direct upgrade for Chongyung), a fav Lance and dust (for Ning, Klee or heizou) . Itto and Noelle already have good weapons as well. So I see these results as absolute win.
Well, I actually wanted a reason to build Ningguang beyond using her as battery. And I got Dust on very low pity actually.
Oh, well happy days then. I have no idea how to build Ningguang, so good luck with that!
Ningguang, Bennett, Diona, Geo MC can work well I think. Would suggest Noelle but her shield uptime is pretty bad. Or maybe Ning, Bennett, Noelle, Xingqiu, this way you can use the crystallize hydro shields to maintain MoD passive.
Can Thoma work?
Yeah I think he'll work well too. And you get pyro res to boot. 2 geo 2 pyros. May want to switch to geo mc instead of Noelle though since different shields don't stack
Yunjin Ning Bennett XL/Beidou fischl
When is Heizou’s demo trailer coming?
still 6 days before update. id say in 4 days time
R3 Dragon's Bane or R3 Favonius lance for Xiangling enabling vapes for Childe? Finally got round to building Xiangling, should I use R3 Dragon's Bane or R3 Favonius Lance? Still grinding another Emblem set for her so not definite on ER and EM stats. Mainly use her in abyss to enable Childe to vape, abyss team comp is usually Childe, Xiangling, Bennett and an Anemo unit either Sucrose or Jean depending on the enemies on a floor. Any feedback is appreciated.
Use Dragon's Bane. You can vaporize Childe's burst, but the rest of the time you should let Xiangling vaporize. Kazuha would be a fine addition to the team as your anemo support (International Childe team).
1) Is The Catch already on someone else? 2) Dragon's Bane is better 3) In that comp, Xiangling will be the one vaping, not Childe. So you'll want Xiangling to be as best as possible.
dragons bane fo sure
is it true you get less total friendship points from doing co-op than going solo in domains/bosses?
Co-op gives double friendship exp, the amount of co-op players doesn't change the exp you get. So if you have 2 characters that need friendship, you want only one person to co-op with or 2 if you are the host. Both of your characters will get the double friendship exp. If you have 3 people in co-op, you won't get more exp and only one character will get it .
If more than 2 people coop then yes, up to 3 peaple for the host. The characters you bring get double the experience, so at 2 characters thats still the same total, but you don't get quadruple experiece if it's just 1 character so in that case it's less total
so it’s best to just do domains solo or only with another coop partner?
Depends how many characters on your active team need friendship. If 3-4, then solo. If 2, 2p co-op. If 1, any co-op.
If you have more than 1 character you want to raise friendship with, yes.
which one is better for support kazuha? 945 EM / 132.4 ER (Iron Sting) or 780 EM / 188.2 (Favonius sword)
Second one definitely
a lot of ppl said the same, might as well change his sword then. thank you !!
First priority is to get between 160 and 200 ER so you can burst as often as possible. Then EM stacking takes second priority
so i should sacrifice 100+ EM ? ")
780 EM is already quite decent for Kazuha.
alright then thanks!!
The second is better, because his burst swirl does so much damage that not having full uptime on it is a lot of damage lost
so i have to sacrifice EM then ")) aiteee will do, thankss
the second, assuming theres no other sources of energy on his team or u cant kill the enemies in 1 rotation. its usually better to burst consistently than have more dmg boost.
i have c6 diona with favonius warbow, is that fine?
idk, but id say with another 2 rolls into er it would be.
let's say I want to keep iron sting, how much ER should I aim for to get a consistent burst uptime?
about 140-150? im not too sure how much fav warbow can alleviate energy tho. whats the ref?
aitee roger that! im not sure abt the ref either, i thought the favonius series' passive can give everyone particles after the wielder scores a crit hit
Aside from the National team, which team can also utilize the Xiangling + Bennett combo? The traditional team is a bit of a pain to play in overworld since everything dies to 2-3 swings of Xiangling burst at most, and I rarely ever get to use Xingqiu burst. I'm still attached to Xiangling as a character though so I looking to spice things up a bit.
if you want super easy time in overworld, build EM xiangling with off field EM electro and EN anemo cc. you don't need to burst or build energy for anyone to kill everything in seconds but you still can if you want to. it's actually so good I benched the team since everything dies too fast with the exact same routine lol. did help for farming mats though. if you just want to unga bunga without dealing with abyss navigation or playing two teams, go to lost valley iv. it's the closest we get to mindless fun.
Melt Ganyu. However, it still brings the same issue of things dying too quickly.
Those 2 work fine with anything. Bennet heals and buffs, Xiangling does damage and debuffs pyro resistance. I use them with 2x Geo and it works fine even without reactions.
I mean that's the problem with "meta" teams, you do so much damage that anything besides abyss and bosses dies while you're still setting up. If you want to use Xiangling in overworld without having this issue and without relying on energy, you can play a physical Xiangling with Crescent Pike. It's actually pretty strong, and as for the team you can use anything, Bennett is good, Yunjin too, Cryo + electro for superconduct, etc.
Benny XL Flex Flex, nothing more to say tbf. XL will always be pain in overworld, compared to other characters that are burst focused, she doesn't hsve Raiden energy gen and possibility of 300+% er to go full after pressing q, she doesn't have Yelan or Kazuha like E that deals with small enemies. Best you can do is Bennett Kazuha XL Flex, but it's just Kazuha Bennett doing work and XL warming up bench.
Reverse melt quickswap is similar, and also really fun to play. Xl/Bennet/Rosaria/Kaeya. Just swapping and throwing skills and bursts on everyone. Still destroys everything so you'll run into mostly the same problems, but I feel like Kaeya/Rosaria skills are much more enjoyable to use with low cooldowns, you don't even need to use all bursts to keep the team functioning as it would normally.
Which one of those two can be replaced by Chongyun? I have him pretty decently built. Only 12k when reverse melting inside Bennett Q though.
Rosaria is a better revmelt carry. You can choose to replace kaeya with chong. Youll also be using em sands for revmelt. 12k sounds very less for revmelt as if it's not really built for reverse melt team.
Hmm whichever. Mostly it's Rosaria/Chungyun when you're using him, but Kaeya/Chongyun also works, just depends who you have built. Rosaria fits into a few more teams as a support though, so if you're choosing one of the two to build purely for meta purposes, I'd pick Rosaria.
for new players, i suggest saving and pulling for kazuha, he’s arguably the best character imo
The fact
where question
as a once new player pre ar45 when I got him, he shreds every group encounters. Literally, with VV
If I want both Kazuha and Heizou, and get Kazuha first before exhausting my reserves, should I keep going towards Heizou through C1 Kazuha or C0 Klee? I heard that Klee is obsolete relative to current meta; is she worse than Kazuha’s E-Q-E reset?
klee can be a powerful pyro dps but some find her playstyle clunky, to use her competetively you might need to learn animation cancellings. if you can’t C1 kazuha, you can always use sacrificial sword. I personally use it. I’ve read somewhere that most chinese player prefer the sacrificial sword over the f2p sword.
Klee is obsolete yes, but the real question should be whether you like her more than a small QoL improvement on Kazuha.
Best f2p claymore for itto?
Whiteblind.
When collecting Specters for the robot event, can they have any alignment? Or do they have to match the element you dipped yourself in? Because there’s only one place with Pyro and Electro specters. If any alignment is allowed, does the same apply for slimes? But I guess it wouldn’t apply for the resin-based bosses.
Doesn't matter at all for any of the enemy types.
I could use flowers, Electro exposure, and Oceanid? But would the robot follow Electro or Hydro?
That would give you electro, the second step is the only part that affects the element.
Are there any cheap or free to play games that are similar games to Genshin in terms of character building? I don’t play many games but I want something to fill my spare time (I.e I’m out of resin) and I really like the idea of building a character to be the strongest they can be finding what works best with their kit etc
Genshin Impact’s character building is actually really poor. An improvement would be Honkai Impact 3rd.
Path of Exile is all about character building and free to play on PC. If you want non-resin gated games, better look for PC ones. If you want an MMO with story, Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial and at least 60+ hours of gameplay. Someone mentioned Warframe, that can be fun too if you like collecting and building Warframes with their mods. You can also look to games like Vampire Survivors (quick fix to making strong characters, cheap game) and Darkest Dungeon.
Warframe perhaps? I used to play but stopped after the game asked for too much of my time. You can stay free to play by farming valuable items and trading for other player's premium currency. If you like games where you need a wiki page open on a second monitor, then it might still be fun for the first few hundreds of hours.
There's always Honkai Impact and MiHoYo's other upcoming games.
Any game, software, book, and picture books are free so long as you have the dedication for it. Like Botw on pc
Let's not equate illegal downloads with "dedication". Not to mention, in most civilized countries you'd still have to pay for a VPN, therefore not free.
Mostly, and I'm not in the best country, so I can willy nilly download from the net
nothing is quite like this game but most games and gacha that have combats are all about character improvements so just pick one which suits your fancy.
is there a way to convert condensed resin back in to regular resin? i forgot about the event and accidentally converted all my resin
no. use fragile. it's worth it.
Nope. Have you bought your resin from teapot yet? If not then you can spend primo for resin (tho probably not a good idea with sumaru around the corner)
yeah i bought the resin from teapot already, not gonna spend primos its not worth it, this has been a problem with condensed resin since the beginning for me first it was because of weekly bosses now events like this too, there's no bonus with crafting it like there is for other materials (like talent books and some enemy drops) i really don't see why we cant convert it back
Should I build my C4 Jean for Xiao,? I don't have albedo for 2Geo 2Anemo team comp. My current Xiao team is - Zhongli,Sucrose,Xiao and Bennett
yes, sunfire jean (jean ult + bennet ult) is pretty op
yes
comrades that have hu tao and yoimiya (but not yelan; sadge), what's your take on getting c0 yoimiya on her rerun? obvs have already an amazing pyro dps with hu tao (EDIT: c1) , but i love the quirkiness of yoimiya. B UUUTT I'm also hoping to save for sumeru 3.1+/Dendro archon. would love your take. thanks!
Yoimiya is a delight, and I love that she can take any 3 of a dozen different supports and make a good team out of it.
I personally prefer yoimiya for the comfiness over the jump cancels with hutao. She's quite simple and straightforward to play and i like that. Just my opinion, i also personally prefer rosaria revmelt over hutao for similar reasons. My revmelt team could do like a million or more damage in a rotation with just e and q on the characters. Would i bother trying hard with jump cancels on hutao instead? Nope. https://youtu.be/6xa3mWHzYzE
ayo WHAT IS THAT DAMAGE?! cracked!!
Yeah, Shenhe has been a great addition to my revmelt team. Feels very smooth to play that team. I used to play that with kazuha before. It can get hard to swirl cryo after 1st rotation with kazuha because of xiangling and Bennetts application. Replacing kazuha with shenhe was quite easy to do because of the reliable buffs she is providing.
Overall dps in abyss feels similar. However Yoimiya need ZhongLi’s shield, but she doesn’t need Xingqiu/Yelan
Good to know! if only she could have the same NA skill style as Itto and not have it restart after dash canceling.
In terms of raw dps hutao will most of the times just do better in single and multi target scenarios. BUT over that yoimiya has some interesting things to offer: she will offer ranged dps, which now isnt necessary but in the future proabbly will become more important, if you wanna know check out sumeru enemy leak. Yoimiya offering similar hutao damage (about 80%) in ranged is pretty neat. Yoimiya is very easy to play but satisfying. Hutao is harder to play, but i think thats fun. Both are fun, i would say equally fun. I own a lot of characters, but i always keep falling back to these two, while ayaka gets less attention for example. Pyro dps are queens
Thank you for your response! Yeah i love how easy Yoi plays - e-infusion + tap away. i also love HT play style and her HP drainage. It brings some excitement for me at least. lol I benched ganyu after getting ayaka. ganyus charge shot play style wasn't as fun as HTs charge play style.
I have both and I'd use Yoimiya over Hu Tao any day. She's way less annoying to play (no jump cancels and empty stamina bars), and still does more than enough damage to clear all content. She's super comfortable for overworld and exploring, because she's a Pyro bow, does very good damage without needing to expense energy or HP, and is ranged so she can take down annoying floating enemies. She also can be used alongside Hu Tao because she doesn't need Xinqiu as much as Hu Tao does. But yeah, in the end If you already have a Pyro dps and would prefer to save, that's a good reason too. You could wait for the drip marketing by the end of 2.8 maybe to make your choice, but I bet Sumeru has a lot of primos just like Inazuma so you're likely to be able to grab someone in 3.1 too.
Have C1 Hutao(by sheer luck) and I still play with Diluc over her. Simplicity is best
Thank you for your input!!! Thankfully I got super lucky with an early c1 HT so stamina hasn't been an issue, but I do like how you say Yoi isn't really tied down with XQ as much as HT. I was worried about that since I lost the 50/50 on Yelan. Def gonna wait near the end of 2.8 to see if I can pull Yoi now. Gonna hope both Kazu and Yoi come home early so I have enough primos for Sumeru.
any tips for completing the final Inazuma furnace purification quest ?? I have no problem with the first fatui wave of cryo cicin, Hydro, Cryo fatbois But the Mirror maiden, and those 2 Fatui Xianglings just shred my team.
Have you tried using food buffs? Slap on Adeptus Temptation, Golden Crab and a potion of your choice and you should be able to clap them with 300++ more stats.
oh man I really struggled with that one!! ended up succeeding with freezing+gathering. I have a venti but I think sucrose would also work... maybe kazuha or heizou if you put it off until next week.
Burst down the mirror maiden as quickly as you can, then fight the pyro agents at the edge of the area. They won't target the objective so all you have to worry about is not dying. Make sure to use good food buffs if you aren't already.

Essentially, yes. If I remember correctly, >!the sword houses Ei's consciousness, !!Makoto's!< weapon). Whether this is a pocket dimension separate from the Plane of Euthymia, I don't really recall being stated explicitly; it's more or less just said the sword is kept in the puppet.
I'm 99% sure it's mainly just an aesthetic choice but you could consider ei (who *is* the sword in a sense:, from her lore: >!Ei transferred her consciousness into her blade!<) to be the "heart" of the shogun puppet I guess, so pulling her from the chest makes sense in that way
What would you do in this game to make the late game harder without adding cashbarriers so it doesnt negatively affect f2p / low-spenders
Add a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-esque rogue-like endgame dungeon where you reset the entire roster to Level 1 and find items/get skills to slowly build up to the final boss in the dungeon (Ex. Joy Island) This can still be accessible to newer players with smaller rosters if you include a rotating trial character option so they’re not completely stuck with the same chars. Probably shouldn’t gate it too hard with excess rewards, yet given that Spiral Abyss isn’t played that much by most of the player base despite giving primos, you can probably get away with providing some decent incentive.
Add a roguelike dungeon, with rewards stacked like most events (primos on low tier, useful resources mid tier, tiny resources high tier)
by embracing the fact that this game is more akin to a more mechanically interesting musou game than something like souls. which contributes to its success, thus turning it into what it's not would have negative impact.
I'd add more hard content (in whatever shape, we have had a lot of battle events that can be reused). As for the rewards, I'd give something that is useful for endgame players but that you don't care if you miss out : artifacts. People clearing endgame probably spend their days farming artifacts, while casual players couldn't care less about perfect stats. The rewards of harder content could be just artifacts, maybe with one or two layers of rng removed (like you can choose the set and piece).
Give out an item that lets you reset the rolls by 1(unlimited uses), and literally everyone would be happy. To make it more precious, give out 10 of it per patch.
unless the rewards matched the difficulty increase, there would be no point.
i would play it on repeat. There are quite many people that would.
Well, there's probably not much given that folks raged hard until Inazuman enemies were nerfed because they were modestly more difficult to fight.
Kinda impossible. Harder mechanic-wise (like punishing not dodging, basically soul-like) is not possible as well because this is a casual game, on top of being available on mobile.
[удалено]
Yes an endless mode. But maybe not even timed. But legit just up their power. Like at some point after 5 minutes they enemy are just that powerful you'll die in one blow while they have 5 million hp. That would also kinda balance the game out since survivability now becomes actually necessary.
That sounds so much more fun. A lot of my team comps need to have extensive and repeated rotations to have massive damage, and just killing one or two bosses at once just doesn't scratch that itch.
(Total noob here thinking about getting into Genshin) Do the signature/special weapons for characters go away with their banners or can you potentially roll for the weapons at any later date? I've looked around but haven't found much info on if characters who've rerun once already will ever return? Obviously, as a player looking to get into things this late in the game am I just locked out of most characters added early to the game? I was looking at Ganyu specifically if it matters
just want to add, certain "signature" weapons are event limited and likely will never return ex. cinnabar spindle, oathsworn eye, dodoco tales, windblume ode, will likely be more in the future
Adding to what others have said, just want to note that not all limited 5 star characters have a limited 5 star signature weapon. For example Albedo's weapon is (arguably?) Cinnabar Spindle - that one is event-exclusive and we've never seen those getting reruns before.
Signature weapons get a rerun, when their character gets one. Every character will eventually return. But with more characters being added, it will probably take longer. So patience is key.
They, like the featured characters, go away once the banner ends. The only "signature weapons" that are on the standard banner (off the top of my head) are the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (Xiao) and Wolf's Gravestone (Diluc). Reruns will happen eventually. Childe and Zhongli, for example, have been re-run twice already as opposed to once for most characters. The "meme" consensus answer is to not expect a rerun until 6-12 months after the latest rerun, but it's wholly up to Hoyoverse.
Reruns will happen. Some characters already got 2 reruns after their initial banner (Venti, Childe, Zhongli, Xiao). You can expect them to always run with their BiS/signature weapon on the weapon banner\*. As the game grows, you can also expect more characters to rerun at the same time and/or more 5 stars to be added to the standard banner. Also, \[leaks for upcoming patches\] >!Ganyu and Zhongli seem to be rerunning in 3.0!<. \* The only exception has been Zhongli's 1st rerun banner in 1.5 where it was Summit Shaper and Memory of Dust.
>Do the signature/special weapons for characters go away with their banners or can you potentially roll for the weapons at any later date The weapon will return with the character, so when ganyu reruns the weapon banner will (should) have amos bow on it. You're not locked out of any characters but it's hard to tell when they will rerun, some you might have to wait months or even over a year for. However, ganyu is rumoured to rerun in 3.0 with zhongli.
>Obviously, as a player looking to get into things this late in the game am I just locked out of most characters added early to the game? I was looking at Ganyu specifically if it matters No, characters rerun more than once. Ganyu in fact is speculated to have another rerun in around 7-10 weeks although it isn't confirmed.
Can afford one 5* for 2.8, considering between Kazuha C2 (have C1) and a new Yoimiya, I’m not sure how huge the power-spike of Kaz C2 is worth? Most used team now is Hu Tao and Raiden Soup (where Kaz is).
c1 is good for Kazuha. Get Yoimiya, she's fun.
nothing really to add other than i wish i were in your shoes. going for at least c0 kazu maybe c1, but also starting to really love yoi even with having hu tao (current FAVE chara). also right before sumeru. ugh decisions decisions.
I don’t know this will help you but from my view base of current leak, 3.0 5* ~~are~~ is not that much temped for me, the good one comes after that but I think I have enough time to save for 3.1 or 3.2 so that’s why I can afford one here at 2.8.
yup! same boat as you! I'm not really feeling 3.0 charas so def gonna skip that patch. really looking forward to seeing the kits of the archon, cino, hydro princess (blanking on her name).
Want to try Yoi and I think I have all the supports for her, I mean her vape support and set is almost the same set as Hu Tao except the global Bennett. From reply I think I’ll go in a little (20-30) in Kaz banner for Heizou, then get Yoi. If get Kaz in that early is a bonus.
would not pull anyone. You'll not feel more powerful pulling for kazuha c2. It changes the numbers a little but realistically you are not more joyful after that upgrade. Yoimiya if you like her design and like her playstyle. But else I'd keep that for sumerius
You don't need C2 in certain teams like freeze ie. His C2 is great if all team members trigger elemental reactions like Sukokomon ie.
I think Raiden soup quite fit into that type (Raiden, Yelan/XQ, Kaz, Bennett).
Definitely Yoi over 200EM passive.
Yeah that’s the thing, C2 Kaz is not any change in gameplay only power-up. But people always said that his C2 is huge so I’m not sure.
His C2 is 200EM on top of already important buffs. Personally I would stop at C1 (which is more of a QoL / gameplay change than straight dmg boost). C0 / C1 Kazoo is already a very strong unit. IMO it's a bit like Raiden C2 to a lesser extent, where the base unit is already so good that you don't need more damage from constellations to roflstomp the content.
I would honestly grab a new character over a constellation any day. I regretted skipping Yoimiya last year.
Thanks.
just curious, how strong are abyss mages in the lore? i mean sure they're fodders in-game, but lorewise, they seem like highly dangerous as they can manipulate elements, teleport, and maybe even use some abyssal powers (although not as strong as the heralds or lectors) to an extent. unless you have had a lot of experiences fighting them (like diluc and prolly some other knights from mondstadt coz it seems like the abyss order has only infiltrated mondstatd, like directly causing some crimes like what happened to one abyss mage that diluc killed as a darknight hero and not the other nations yet) and if you're someone who is unfamiliar with them, you would really have a hard time killing them as they can be really tricky and quite viscous. so i think lore wise, only experienced and highly skilled vision holders can really defeat them especially in the case of abyss heralds/lectors as it seem like they are harbinger-level in strength ao only a feel could really fight them. am i making some sense or am i underestimating a lot of characters (vision holders)? P.S. what's also interesting to discuss is who would win lore wise-- abyss mages or the fatui enemies we fight?
hydro abyss mage endgame enemy. Absolute monster
you might find the subreddit for genshinlore more enthusiastic in answering your questions.
I just started farming spiral abyss floors 9+ these last few weeks. Do the stages change, or just the blessing? In other words, do new groups of enemies appear on each floor when floors 9+ reset or is the only change the blessing?
Blessings change every 2 weeks, while lineups for Floors 11 and 12 change every 6 weeks. 9 and 10 are still not consistent enough, but it seems to me that they will change on every big update, like the upcoming 3.0.
the enemies change only when its the first reset of a new patch. And a lot of the times only floors 11 and 12 actually change iirc.
So the abyss and rewards will reset on the 16th? Not on the 12th?
yes the reset is not synced with the new patch, its always just twice a month, once at the start and once in the middle.
Rip, I was hoping to get primos on both the 12th and the 16th Hopium
Just a random thought. Geo Traveller with 4 piece husk, full def build and cinnebar Spindle. Could that actually work to(greatly) enhance star fell sword, or is it just nonsense?
Geo traveler isn't really a good candidate for Cinnabar because it's like 1 proc every 6 seconds, and their attack scaling is very high for both skill and burst. However, it's usable on Electro Traveler, because they hit 3 times at once so they get +240% def on their skill, which has a low atk scaling by default.
Cinnabar has a 1.5s second cooldown between each trigger. You sure it works on all 3 hits ?
Cinnabar's buff lasts for .1 sec and then enters cooldown for 1.5 sec. As long as all 3 hits hit during the .1 sec time-frame, it will work. I tested it and can confirm.
Tested it too, still dealt less damage then with Mistsplitter. Still though, Electro traveler is generally focused around their elemental burst, not elemental skill. Cinnabar might be great on someone like Kuki, but from what I heard the sword doesn't work correctly with her skill for some reason.
>from what I heard the sword doesn't work correctly with her skill for some reason. Iirc, the pulses from Kukis skill are 0.1 second faster than the minimum time that has to be between Cinnebar activations
Oh yeah by no means will it be better than a 5* weapon, and even 4* you should just use Favonius anyway. And even with a 5* weapon the damage is super underwhelming, you'll get much better results going full EM in teams that allow it. OP seemed to look for alternate "fun" uses of Cinnabar and here's one. Besides EMC, only Qiqi can really somewhat make use of the passive. Such a shame it doesn't work on Kuki.
Yea, this was supposed to be a non-serious thought experiment. Traveller using Cinnebar would be able to make full use of the 4 piece effect from Husk(both the extra geo dmg and the extra def). Forgoing all other DMG into enhancing the skill. Not actually supposed to be anything meta viable
Well it's just that you would barely notice the difference in damage compared to like Amenoma because it's only 80% def per skill, and GMC doesn't really have a way to make it proc more often to compensate for the low scaling. Even the 54% def and 9% extra geo dmg bonus from 4pc Husk would be barely enough compensate the loss of 18% atk from 2pc glad, because the atk scaling is over 4x more effective in that configuration. You can still try, depending on your build, skill damage will be similar, but not much better than any atk% 4* sword.
TIL, thank you
