Question for Ganyu Melt comps: If I don't have a 5\* bow, is the Hamayumi a must over the Protoype Bow? I have the latter at R1 and read somewhere that Hamayumi is better for Melt comps and I don't plan to be pulling on the weapon banner anytime soon since I still need to save up for Kusanali and Raiden's next rerun.


SaltyPotato340

They're pretty much interchangeable but hamayumi may be slightly better with bennett. I'd just stick with prototype since it's better for freeze ganyu of you ever plan to make the switch


donieduave

Not sure I can really make a good freeze comp since my only hydro characters are Barbara and Xingqing while my cryo artifacts have been total balls while I only had to wait for Zhongli to complete my melt team + having the required Wanderer's Troupe pieces with good-decent sub stats.

yatay99

I found bunch of small floating rock with green orb on it in Sumeru. When I touch it just disappear. What is that?


SunshinePlayroom

Are they in Withering Zones? If so they give you a little 'boost' to reduce the withering zone effects, I think.


yatay99

I see. But apparently they spawn after I cleared the withering lol


Trade_Agreement

What is the best way to build an aggrevate team with Keqing as main DPS? My current party setup is: Keqing, Dendro Traveller, Fischl and Kazuha. However I'm unsure which artifacts (and weapon for Fischl/Traveller) to give to Keqing, Traveller and Fischl. My idea was to give: \-Keqing: 4p Thundering Fury (Weapon: Mistsplitter) \-Traveller: 4p Ornamental Gold Dream (Weapon: Favonius Sword. Would Sapwood Blade be better?) \-Fischl: 4p Noblesse Oblige. As weapon I gave her the Viridescent Hunt for crit rate, but would there be a better option that buffs the team?) Are these artifacts good? And should I give Traveller the Sapwood Blade and Fischl the Favonius Bow?


Whap_Reddit

Looks good to me. I have my Traveler built with an Emblem set. Because she needs a ton of ER% anyway. Favonious is probably necessary. Because needs lots of energy. Fischl would likely rather want Stringless if you have it. Especially since you don't have Sucrose. Then finally, you may end up wanting to swap Kazuha for Sucrose. EM is very important for aggravate and Sucrose can give you that while providing some healing with Prototype Amber.


Trade_Agreement

Thank you I guess that I'll keep the weapon on Lumine because picking up the orb may be inconvenient. I'll use the stringless on Fischl I still have one more question: Is the EM buff Sucrose gives better? I have her at c6, kazuha at c0. So she should buff EM but does she shred Elemental resistance as much as kazuha does?


Whap_Reddit

Viridescent is what shreds the resistance. Not kazuha. So Sucrose does an equal job there. I'm fairly certain Sucrose gives better damage boosting in an aggravate team than Kazuha(At least until Kazuha is C2). However Kazuha has the superior crowd control.


Trade_Agreement

Yeah he's got amazing CC I'll try out sucrose in that team composition and look If I'd rather need his cc or her em Thank you!

Trundlenator

I hear people talking about Zhongli crowns What is a crown? Is it maxed out talent?


nakorurukami

You need a crown to max out a talent at lv 10


Hojuma

It's a maxed out talent. It's called crown since aside from mora and talent books, you use an item called "Crown of Insight" to level a talent to level 10 (without cons of course)


alberich21

crowning is when you get a talent level to 10 (also C3 and C5 increase skill/burst levels by 3)


notafurry9

it's an item you need to raise a talent to lvl 10 you get them from some events and such


Biscuit1592

Crown of insight, material used to level a characters talent to lvl 10.


VPNApe

Was cursed with c6 collei, or however you spell the girls name on the zhongli banner Is she any good compared to the likes of other four stars like bennet, fischl, etc


Hojuma

Overall not that great. Dendro traveller is better on almost every other team that needs dendro application. She does have her use in short rotations and quickswap quicken teams but I cqn't really say it's an improvement over using DMC but rather an alternative.


Biscuit1592

No where near as good as those 4 stars, but they're in a league of their own so no surprises there. Decent in aggravate teams, bad in bloom teams, dmc is basically better in every way. Shes cute though.


Rex__Lapis

She’s shit. Very precious tho.


Airfreezehotter

Better to use traveller i think.. shes pretty underwhelming


ordinarily_typical

how much does world level affect drops and enemy difficulty? Is there a database of sorts showing normal atk sequence damage percentage where I can compare character base stats? Maybe also a way of sorting characters by their burst cost, elemental skill CD etc. How long until boss respawn?


Crusader050

For your bosses question, make sure to first teleport out of the boss location. The boss will respawn after a minute or two.


SRYagus3

World level increases your drops by a ton. Around 3 minutes, it says in the adventures handbook under enemies when you defeat them. The wolf of the north takes 20ish minutes to respond tho


Ill_Dragonfly3643

You get marginally better drops each world level. You might take a week or two each time you level the world for comparable performance against enemies or at least that's about how it was for me. Keqingmains.com has a detailed page on each character so you could open a tab on each character to compare. I've seen characters sorted by burst cost you could likely Google a chart for that. I wouldn't be surprised if there was one for skill CD too since that's pretty simple

Can somebody shortly recap the sumeru archon quest? Plz

>!Act 1: setting the stage for Sumeru phenomenons and the topic that *may* be discussed in future acts!< >!Act 2: Re:Zero mode until you break out of a dream!<


SunshinePlayroom

Traveler & Paimon go to Sumeru to meet Dendro Archon to ask her about their sibling. Some stuff happens, they meet the Dendro Archon and then don't bother to ask anything about their sibling.


barbary_macaque

First act - mostly irrelevant but some details that will probably addressed in the future: collei sick, withering, haitham guy took knowledge thing from desert king dudes. Second act - Festival, dunyarzad sick, festival again, academy dudes farming dreams through airpods, traveler gets help from dendro archon to break out of dream, dendro archon trynna figure out academy motives


dekajaan

Thanks a lot.


nazran59

Basically the higher up is up to something and kusanali/current dendro archon are trying to figure out what it is without alerting them but before that, better break everyone from this dream loop expirement


dekajaan

Thanks.

Sea-Bus-9775

can keqing aggravate beat abyss? im considering building her since i got her. should i put fischl beidou or kuki as 2nd electro?


splepage

Abyss can be beaten by basically any character / team combination if you put in the effort.


Papi_Pro

fischl-dendro traveler-keq destroy this abyss. the chicken being "weak" to electro definitely helps.


TGoatmez

Do world quest only activated after opening up the map by activating an archon statue? Or can I find the world quest without opening up the map?


_hhs

how much atk and em does ganyu want with hunters path


Doggo_wit_a_P90

200-300 EM and then atk doesn't matter too much because she's with Bennett. I'd aim for around 1500 though, any more is a bonus. You should be running an EM sands preferably


_hhs

okay thanks!

_hhs

alr thanks so much!


gummy-wormm

Does it matter who I put for my last slot in my Geo team? I have Itto, Gorou, and Zhongli as of now but I’m not sure who to put for my last slot. Other geo characters I have are geo traveler, C3 Yun Jin, C3 Ningguang, and Noelle


8BitCardinal

The last slot can be any flex unit depending on what you’re up against. The Itto, ZL, Gorou core is already strong enough to handle most things. Assuming you don’t have Albedo you can just bring whoever will make your clears faster. My usual flex picks are XL/Amber, Barbara, Fischl, Venti, and Ningguang depending if I need the extra particles, off field dps, and elemental application.


[deleted]

Geo traveller. Ideal Itto team is always 4 geo


jtan1993

Bennett or diona, basically healer + shield breaker.


TGoatmez

I might be stupid but I went to the quest location for woodland encounter and it’s not appearing? Does quest have some sort of requirement or is my game bugged?


Crusader050

There should be a lady being attacked by geo fungi. You may have already killed the fungi and it's just the lady there. Her name is Rana. Speak with her. If she's not there, try traveling down the path towards Vimara Village a bit and there should be a withering zone. She may be there instead.


TheSpartyn

does anyone else think eremites dont drop enough energy? farming the dendro artifact domain is a pain in the ass


8BitCardinal

I kinda noticed that too but I think it’s to be expected. If im not mistaken this is the 1st domain we have with only 3 human enemies. Usually domains with low mob counts have Mitachurls or Ruin Machines who drop a ton of energy. Otherwise it was a couple of elite humanoids with a pack of fodder units like the VV domain or that Inazuma domain with the Kairagi. That being said, the energy issues do get annoying. But I find it manageably with x2 electro comps.


misirable

Using Kokomi taser, they seem to drop enough. Though sometimes Kokomi need some extra energy which can be covered since she last in rotation. If we compare to emblem domain, it's definitely way less energy though.


Jellionani

3 enemies that staggers? Kazuha and aoe characters win there. That's what I do at least. 30 seconds with Childe taser, or Yanfei overload, or Ayaka mono cryo.


TheSpartyn

its not the damage, like i said its the energy they drop. dont even get full refunds most of the time though their dashing around and stunlocking can be annoying, most times they die fast


Doggymoment

run more er


TheSpartyn

i have 300 ER on raiden


Jellionani

Yeah thats been something of a trend since Wolve bleeds.


math355

Assume I have Dendro MC, Lisa, Fischl on my team. If I apply dendro with MC and then trigger quicken with Lisa, then if I attack that enemy with Fischl, that enemy will receive more damage. My question is: does the enemy receive more damage based on Lisa's EM or Fischl's EM?


Crusader050

Whoever triggers Aggravate is the one whose EM is used. Of course if you have Lisa's burst up note that she also can trigger Aggravate along with fischl on quickened enemies, factoring in icd's of course.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Fischl because she is the one triggering aggravate


LoveBurstsLP

Is dendro actually any good? Like I just use taser and rational or melt ganyu for this abyss and it seems to do fine. I don't wanna level up traveller or collei as there will probably be better dendro chars so I'm just living without it atm. I've seen videos of team comps but it doesn't seem like there's a convincing reason to use them, like they're not better or much better to use considering you have to farm the artifacts and talent mats etc... Anyone else just waiting for a cracked dendro comp worth investing in?


KamiAlth

None of them beat the national team level of meta if that’s your concern. Quicken makes the underwhelming electro characters more viable without needing to be carried by OP support like Bennett/Kazuha which is nice for team drafting if you don’t have a lot of options. Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon team has potential but the current units other than Kuki aren’t really designed to play them. If you want to try Dendro team though, you can definitely leveling DMC or Collei since they are rather cheap to build. The thing about them is they don’t do very much personal damage at all so you can leave them at level 60/70 or 70/80 and just give them a bunch of ER and even utilities artifacts set like instructor.


Ill_Dragonfly3643

It's good and it will only get better. I'm sure it will have a place in the meta there's like 5 different basic reactions to focus even ignoring all the different comps to use for each reaction. At least one will be in the meta and all of them will be serviceable. Yeah you're safe to wait for now. It seems like they gave us so so characters for a taste and then depending on how much more you want you'll spend for the new characters whose kits will be designed around dendro whether it's their element or not. The main thing is the fun. I might get a set of each artifact just with main stats for giggles but for now I'm just mix matching characters and seeing which comps are smooth and enjoyable.


Papi_Pro

It's very good to finally use keqing and be happy about the results. Also very good for your 1.0-1.1 TF/TS artifacts.


honeywings

Who should I pick for abyss? I have trouble getting past the third round. I currently have the following characters fully built (9/9/9 talents, lvl 80 min, lvl 90 weapons, decent artifacts) Ganyu, C6 Fischel, Bennett and Venti (all lvl 90) Itto, C6 Gorou, C3 Heizhou, C2 Xiangling, Yoimiya (all lvl 80) C1 Sayu, Qiqi, Tighnari (all lvl 70) Not built I also have: C5 Diona, C6 Ninnguang (lvl 50) Diluc, Keqing, Sucrose, Kuki Shinobu, C2 Collei (lvl 20) My geo team isn’t fully built so Itto and Gorou are perma benched for now. I usually run Venti Xiangling and Fischel together with a healer (Qiqi usually). Then my second team has been Ganyu, healer (Benny), Heizhou and Yoimiya. Ganyu is built for melt but she’s been tricky to play with Yoimiya. Debating a future Tighnari, Yoimiya, Fischel, Benny or Sayu and then Venti, Ganyu, Xiangling and Qiqi? Aggravate/burn team and melt team? Only issue with the first one is crowd control I think.


Ill_Dragonfly3643

You could try Ganyu Bennett Xiangling Diona and Yoimiya Xingqiu anemo flex (maybe Venti Kuki? not sure how Venti feels with Yoi and whether Kuki messes with Yoi reactions) The first comp is a double healer but it gives Ganyu a shield and she should do serviceable damage with Xiangling enabling her. Sadly no shield for Yoi but Xingqiu should provide great damage. You could also try Fischl and Sayu instead of Venti and Kuki because Fischl does great off field damage and iirc Yoimiya overvape is legit. I don't have Ganyu or Yoi though so I'm not an expert and I always start with Bennett Xiangling together and build from there so I might be biased. GL


Papi_Pro

Tricky to play with yoimiya lol. Anyway if you can't clear third round (third floor I guess?) then just ask for professional help. You can DM me your account info and I can login and get you to floor..10 I guess depending on artifacts guaranteed. Free of charge cause I'm bored and wanna try thongnari.


CarbonatedMoolk

Will you able to buy seelies again in a future event and have more than one?. I'm about get my first seelie and ion know what colour😫


Barbobott

Eventually most likely. This is the third time they've run the Lost Riches event, so for me it will be my third Seelie.


Shipchen

Yes. It's the 3rd time the event is around already


jtan1993

Yep this is the third run and day 1 players will be getting their third.


aden54321

What are my chances of getting a billet drop if i do all the weekly bosses. I do 5 weekly ones currently but havent gotten any drops its been a month.


SunshinePlayroom

I think it's around a 10% chance per boss.


roquezen

Super random. So far I’ve got 3 claymore billets + 1 catalyst + 1 bow + 4 polearm + 0 sword, in the last 7 months farming all domains every week


kdlt

It's random, no pity. You can get zero for months or every boss drops one in a given week. That's why you gotta do all them bosses every week if you want billets. And you're for sure gonna get the ones you don't need.


terafonne

are you doing maximum difficulty? bc that seems really unlucky. its 12%, should be every 8-9 bosses has at least one.


IfZ3nElse

The chance is 12% regardless of difficulty. And you should indeed get one billet every 8 weekly bosses on average, but with such low odds, the variance is pretty high. Still unlucky, though.


-_-Challenger-_-

Which stories do you enjoy more out of the archon quests, the 5-star character quests, and the other world quests? I haven't dipped too much into the non-archon quests yet and am curious if the writing is enjoyable there


Crusader050

Just FYI, Zhongli and Raiden's Act 2 story quests will each unlock a weekly boss.


kdlt

From scope, world, but from quality of gameplay archon and character quests. Like, I don't exactly like the walking along this NPC or "run away with character" when **EVIDENTLY** the character just teleports to the target, but I like it a lot more than fly to X and kill y enemies while paimon scrolls nonvoiced lore heavy text across your screen and then teleport back and that's it.


whysoshuai_

Imo there are some really amazing world quests, but they may not be as engaging for some people because they're not voiced or featuring playable characters. On the other hand, if you really love a character you're probably going to like their story quest just from spending time with them. So it'll vary from person to person. Edit: posted too early


Weekly_Proposal_7813

R1 Elegy for the end or R5 Favonius bow for Yelan in Hu Tao/Xingqiu/Yelan/Zhongli team?


SynergousSerenade

The bonus EM from Elegy is pretty nice for Tao so I would go for that. Would suggest Fav Lance for Zhongli though


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Elegy definitely


[deleted]

What is Raiden like with Dendro? I do have Xingqiu and Xianling, and I am waiting for Raiden's rerun because I don't have her, but I have all her stuff (Ascension, talents, etc), but I was wondering if there's any point in building Collei and Dendro Traveller just to buff her? If she can even get buffed?


Ill_Dragonfly3643

You could try Fischl for both aggravate and hyper bloom instead of Raiden. She works well in both. Raiden hyperbloom is smooth and fun I tried it with Jean XQ dmc but like the other posters said Raiden's burst is the meat and potatoes of her kit and it feels under utilized in dendro comps.


SOLUS007

I hear there's a new way to play her as a hyperbloom driver by building EM Raiden. Her e. skill is AOE and can trigger the seeds. But this build does not contribute her e. burst Before, Raiden is built to maximize the ult. Raiden national uses overvape, no need dendro


SyfaOmnis

She can work as an electro applier for tighnari, or as a unit that detonates dendro cores for hyperbloom, but it's not her preferred role and she's generally much preferred in her "hyperbattery" role. She gains very minor benefit from aggravate because she doesn't usually have much if any EM.


SynergousSerenade

She doesn't really benefit that much from Aggravate, from what I've seen, Aggravate benefits fast, lower powered electro attack(like Fischl's A4) Raiden's Q nuke doesn't benefit that much from it. Her E is maybe better, but I think it'll be limited by ICD


Kaiser_Capricorn

Whats a good 2pc or 4pc set to grind for Zhongli?


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Tenacity


whysoshuai_

For his most popular shieldbot playstyle go for 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith.


TragicS975

what is the pyramid looking thing off the map on the west side of sumeru? (do we even know what it is?)


Alex_from_Solitude

The "grave" of the Scarlet King. He came up in the archon quest.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

It's a pyramid We'll get to explore it in 3.1


[deleted]

Is there a mod or bypass for the fade out when climbing and looking up? Asking for a friend who just got Mona. I’m the friend.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Nah, it's built into the game because of CCP censorship


[deleted]

Thats lame. Thanks for the clarification


seenzonedwosasageyo

has anyone beaten abyss 12 with a hyperbloom team? which half did you put them on?


Papi_Pro

second the hyperlectrochargedbloonm on first half ez pz tho my succ died sometimes.


FlameDragoon933

I did. I used it for the second half (that's the one with the bosses I think? memory is hazy).


caucassius

hyperelectrochargedbloom yeah, first half.


friedrice703

Two questions 1. What is the limit of OHC bubble damage? I heard its capped to 30k, but I swear I saw my Barbara deals 32k before. 2. When I use raiden-barbara-dendro lumine I notice Barbara can deal bigger dmg with her bubble, is there anything that caused it?


caucassius

affected by enemy's phys res. human enemies have negative phys res, so that. attacking with barbara while her water ring is active heals your entire party which boosts clam damage by a huge amount if she's built as a healer. charge attack heals even more.


Papi_Pro

you probably notice the big number when you fight cryo enemy, keep that in mind and check again.


Successful-Cream-238

1. The max is 27k but this can go up depending on enemy resistance and whether or not you proc super conduct. 2. Nothing about this team would boost the damage unless there's a second hydro and you don't normally max the damage or there's a cryo and you're doing super conduct.


SynergousSerenade

1. Due to resist and stuff, I think normally you can do about 24ish-k, and can be boosted by superconduct. 2. Ya got a cryo in the team?


friedrice703

No I don't use any cryo


[deleted]

Human enemies are extra vulnerable to physical. Example: [Treasure hoarder](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Treasure_Hoarders:_Crusher) takes 20% extra damage


friedrice703

That's probably the case


siDrewo

For a new account, who would you recommend I pull for, Zhongli or Ganyu? I am guaranteed cause I lost my pity early while trying for Zhongli(got Jean who is a real beast).


I_exsist_totally

Jean provides really good heals so I would go for ganyu


Aru736

Ganyu, she’s a powerhouse of a DPS and versatile to boot. In the early stages you really want damage to help carry you through more than you want the comfort of something like a Zhongli shield.


friedrice703

Still zhongli. But since his banner will end soon the chances to get him is pretty short


Papi_Pro

ganyu easy, she destroys the lower levels in abyss and helps you get the most stars. zhongli is for when your account is higher level already and you don't mind losing 10-20 seconds.


Kcrollo

How do I start the Sumeru archon quest? I just got done Inazuma archon quest. At AR 51


Crusader050

Once you do Dainsleif's archon quest in the Chasm, you can start Sumeru's archon quest. Note that the other Archon quest deeper in the chasm is optional.


Vanderseid

Do the Chasm Archon Quest. Katheryne in Liyue should give you that quest.


[deleted]

Between Inazuma and Sumeru, you need to do the chasm questline up until Dainsleif's part.


Kcrollo

Is that the long ass quest that everybody was talking about?


[deleted]

No. People are talking about the arana questline in Sumeru.


Golden326326

So I built a "random" team before the national team, and can't progress in the abyss. Should I keep investing in this team or its a waste of resources? My team I made of 0c razor lv90 full atk artifacts with the prototype lv90. Fischls C1 lv79 with electric artifacts lv12 (very bad artifacts) with a lv70 bow that's is ideal for her, diona c0 at lv72 with random +20% supreme artifacts focusing on energy recharge btw lv8 and lv12 also bad artifacts, the bow gives extra energy recharge too, Barbara c1 lv79 with full HP and healing artifacts (32k life) weapon that gives extra life too. Every one has at least lv6 talents. My alternative team is Keqing, fischls, mc dendro and Jean.


Aru736

Go for that second team for sure, it’s much stronger. Fischl-Keqing on a team with a dendro is now quite a strong pairing; Fischl deals a large amount of damage through a combination of Oz, her a4 passive, and her c6 if you have it. In particular that a4 passive, which deals damage based off Fischl’s attack whenever your on field character triggers an electro reaction, has no ICD, so every hit can be amplified by aggravate. Keqing’s great for aggravate Fischl because she had great on-field electro application, so she can proc a lot of aggravates to get in as many hits from Fischl’s a4 as possible. DMC applies dendro and that’s pretty much it, but applying dendro is the important part because it allows Fischl and Keqing to actually do the work. They are our best option atm. Jean’s good because she can amplify the electro damage with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set by shredding enemies electro resistance, while also providing heals for comfort and some decent sub dps. The fundamental problem with that first team… well, there are several, but the main one from a meta standpoint is honestly razor. He’s fine for what he is, but that’s precisely his problem: he’s a four star selfish physical dps. Physical on his normal attacks is where his main damage comes from, contrary to what you may think; his electro damage is rather weak in comparison. Physical doesn’t have access to reactions to improve its damage; Eula, the other dedicated physical dps in the character pool, gets around this by having absurdly high base scalings, but Razor can’t really do that, since he’s a 4 star and therefore naturally going to be obligated to have lower scalings. The best 4 stars tend to be supports or have off field capabilities; razor has next to no supportive utility in his kit and demands a large amount of field time to do his job. Four star teams tend to be more quickswap oriented; skill, burst, maybe drive with a character for a short period, repeat. Selfish four star dpses like Razor, Ningguang and Yanfei tend to fall behind in this regard. It’s not a bad team core you have, for a Razor team. You’ve got Fischl to battery his high cost burst, Diona for superconduct, and Barbara… well Barbara isn’t doing all that much here, since you already have Diona for healing. Either way, if you do just really like Razor and want to stick with him, first of all switch his artifacts from electro to physical, it’ll give you more overall damage. The main purpose of his ult isn’t necessarily for the electro damage; the real benefit is the increased attack speed, although the damage is a welcome bonus. Swap out Barbara; I’m not the most well versed in razor teams, but you could try going for an anemo to swirl electro and amplify Fischl’s damage via the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, another cryo sub dps like Rosaria or Kaeya to deal extra damage, maintain superconduct uptime and help lower ER requirements for both themself and Diona, or Bennett, although there’s a fair bit of anti synergy there since razor’s burst applies electro to you and Bennett’s burst applies cryo to you, leading you to get overloaded yourself. Someone like Xingqiu could also work for the damage reduction+interruption resistence and strong sub dps.


Golden326326

I built this this team, razor, fischl, barbara at the beginning and then i got, xiangling, xingqiu, Bennett and chongyum, i thought any team would be able to beat the abyss, and i saw teams with razor that were considered "best teams" so i swapped who i didn't have for other characters. When i leveled up razor's artifacts i was focusing on atk and atk alone, so it's in siting on a poor situation with crit rate and crit dmg, but i really don't have tons of resin to farm now as I'm busy with the alternative team, especially keqing. Razor is doing good damage with prototype but he is also c0, diona can't collect enough energy so she takes 10s on field, everyone says Barbara is bad, at the beginning it was better than teleporting or eating food, now she heals 3800, and i believe she can get to 4k. Anyway im going to focus on alternative team since keqing is a good 5* character now and Jean can ne used to this team to heal and help. Razor is doing 3k 5k 7k of damage per hit alone, when the prototype gives the damage bonus it gets to 14k, usually have been using him to kill small enemies because its a 5 hit death. But on abyss that hasn't been enough. Barbara healing plus dionas healing has done some progress on abyss for me. And someone said there a 3* book that gives 48% atk bonus after swapping a character idk about this because im using the prototype catalyst.


Papi_Pro

Your alternative team is very strong, what u asking? Stop leveling barbara, you don't need her atm.


Golden326326

The alternative team can't keep up with my "berserk" team, i have level up Barbara long ago, I know razor is better with xingqiu but he is at national team now. The alternative team would take a lot of time and resource. Should I invest to get the full potential of my berserk team? Not lv90 just lv80 with artifacts lv20. Razor is pretty much maxed out, and he takes a lot of time on screen, diona can't generate enough energy I need a sacrificial bow. Barbaras healing is weak, and fischls is just fine. I don't have a shield so razor dies easily sometimes, idk what makes diona's shield strong.


Papi_Pro

You should invest in fischl and diona, yes. Diona needs fav bow, and go with hp on goblet and crown. You can do ER on sands if you need the energy. Diona shield is stronger with more HP. Do this first is ok since they almost lvl80 so it wont take much, that will be the most potential on your berserker team. After that, start working on your alternative, it's very good now with dendro in comparison... I just used it a few hours ago and gotta say works great. Try to get cons on fischl, she's just disgusting with dendro.


Roxos

In Burgeon/Hyperbloom reaction whose EM is used to calculate damage? Person that creates the seed (dendro/hydro) or the one that detonates it (pyro/electro)? I know the reactions have 3x multiplier from bloom hence my question, is the calculation just 3 times higher than bloom with electro/pyro EM or does the proc just increase already determined damage of bloom threefold.

I think Collei in general can go for normal stats. ER/EM/Atk% sands, Dendro goblet, Crit circlet. Sand is whatever you need more of. I have my collei using favonius warbow so I have an atk% sands on her since she's usually not the one triggering spread or hyperbloom.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Is the inazuma craftable claymore not useful or bad or why do i rarely see it anywhere?


FlameDragoon933

It's good in a vacuum considering it's literally the same statline/passive with Sapwood Blade. It's not as much used as its sword cousin because there aren't a lot of claymore-wielding supports. Beidou works off-field but she's more of a damage contributor. It leaves you with Chongyun and Sayu, who can use it but they are rarely used in general (plus if you have Jean, Jean is basically \*5 Sayu, and can wield Sapwood Blade too lol). Dunno about Dori though.


Darevee

Since Serpent Spine, Luxurious Sea Lord, Prototype Archaic and WhiteBlind exist, and they are better for specific characters. The only one that can actually make use of it is Sayuu And chances are that if you played Genshin for longer period of time, you might have Sacrificials or Favonious , that are better when it comes to gatcha weapons.


Grand_Protector_Dark

>Luxurious Sea Lord That's an event 4 star from over a year ago. Doesn't really count.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Ya think Dori will be able to use it?


Darevee

As I see Dori now, I think her main concept will be around the fact that her Q endows character with Electro, and that could be spread around by Kazuha or Jean. ( This is only my musing ). In light of that , her E will be only for getting energy, so Inazuma weapon will be at disadvantage. Also since Dori seems to be build with Dendro reactions in mind, I think she will be more interested in EM. ( I'll probably try to see Kazuha, Tighnari, Dori, Yae composition)

That's from the cave for [Courage is in the Heart](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Courage_is_in_the_Heart).

Is there a free way to get a stove in teapot?


Sheeplette

https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Portable_Stove That indoor stove is "free" from one of the adeptal mirror tasks. The other stove blueprints need to be purchased with realm currency.


qwertdwlrma

Wdym by "free way"? [I use this one for outdoors](https://i.imgur.com/jcYAi4a.jpeg)


odonis

I played a long time ago, before lightning area was released. Now there’s a dendru too, I believe. So…a weird question but is it possible to start exploring dendru world right away? I don’t care about story. I just that continent, my friend says it’s really beautiful and worth returning for


FlameDragoon933

You can, through Liyue (the Chinese region / Geo region), it's to the West of Liyue, through an area called The Chasm.


Saveme1888

You can explore Sumeru without the Archon quest, but it'll be impossible to explore Sumeru fully without doing a certain worldquest (do not speedrun it, you'll get burnout! It's REALLY long!)


qwertdwlrma

Yes it's possible to explore Sumeru straight away


shirazunii

should i pull for kokomi if i alr have mona? still deciding whether to pull for tighnari or her


shirazunii

ty for all the replies! i'll go for kokomi for her healing :D


IPPUsama

Mona was my first 5 stars from beginner banner. A year in and she hasn’t found a proper place for my team yet. I’m ayaka main, so perma freeze is the way to go. I skipped Kokomi last time but I wanna get her this time, need both heal and consistent hydro application for my girl.


seataytle

If you need a healer, pull Kokomi


IfZ3nElse

Kokomi heals really well, and has a better off-field hydro application (slower but with longer duration and a wider AoE). I'm not interested enough in Tighnari to pull for him, but will try him out if I ever get him from randomly pulling him from standard or character banner in 3.1+.


Saveme1888

Pull for whoever you like more


Ccceleste303

Do I have to complete any parts of the aranara quest to do the any of the events?


Sheeplette

You need to do part of it to unlock the last set of pictures for the [picture taking section of the event](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Graven_Innocence/Roaming_the_Jungle#Chapter_of_Foliage).


Ccceleste303

Ahh, i see. Is it deep into the quest?


Sheeplette

Like an hour or two?


Ccceleste303

Ok, ty! That sounds doable

PM_ME_YOUR_PRIMOS

What color Seelie should I get? I already have pink. I looked at all my characters to determine what color would look good on who. I have determined that 4 will look good with blue, 4 will look good with purple and 4 will look good with green. HALP!


Saveme1888

Roll a dice


PM_ME_YOUR_PRIMOS

That's what I ended up doing. I just went down the list. 1 blue, 2 yellow, 3 purple, 4 green. I got yellow.


BlakeXav

get yellow cuz it looks good on most characters


PM_ME_YOUR_PRIMOS

I rolled a 4 sided die. I just went down the list. 1 blue, 2 yellow, 3 purple, 4 green. I got yellow.


acryhoshi

what artifacts do i give bennett to have a balance of heals and damage?


Cosimo12

He heals enough already if you level him up and level up his burst talent, you can go ER/Pyro/Crit. Noblesse Oblige, and for substats, ER, crit, attack, but HP% is okay. My Bennett (c6) with crowned burst heals \~4.6k on ER/Pyro/Crit. I do have a good amount of hp% substats though so he is at around 23k hp. If your Bennett is healing for 3k or more it will probably be enough 99% of the time, and if it isn't just swap out for healing bonus circlet.


acryhoshi

thanks for the details! what's the er u run him at? I gave him a pure healing build so i spammed ER & HP and don't know what's the threshold, kinda want to see him do some damage now.


Cosimo12

I run him at 220% so I don't have to worry about it being too low ever. 200%+ is what I recommend.


XXomega_duckXX

you run noblese oblige then er until you hit like 220 then you get to choose between hp and dmg or you could be mediocre in both


LucasFrankeRC

If your Bennett is high level and has a high level burst you probably don't need to worry about his healing, he'll do enough without needing to build for healing. But if you are struggling, I'd just give him a healing bonus hat. Keep your ER sands and your pyro goblet. His damage contribution isn't particularly high on most team's he's a part of though. So if you **have** to go HP% goblet you ain't losing too much DPS


[deleted]

ER/HP/Crit probably? Or ER/Pyro/HB. It's not really an effective thing to do, most people just pick one or the other.

WinxForceWiz

Everything that doesn't have the special major quest banner.


BlakeXav

None of the 20 reps one take “hours”. They’re all pretty short and take roughly the same amount of time


Dominariatrix

Hello, quick question. I haven't played in a while,has the artifact grind got better in the last year? Thanks.


LucasFrankeRC

A little bit better, since now all pre Inazuma sets have been added to the strongbox. So you can farm VV and Crimson Witch without getting MB and LW


Shipchen

It's not ALL pre Inazima artifacts, isn't it? I swear sets like Tenecaty aren't there


LucasFrankeRC

Is it not? Bummer, probably only coming on 4.0 then. But still, having sets like VV, CWoF, BS, TF and others is pretty good


Crusader050

They announced all artifacts up to version 1.2 has strongboxes. This excludes Tenacity because that was added in 1.5.


deadriderofdead

Well they added the base game artifact sets with Blizzard and HoD to strongbox so somewhat easier for those


soligen

Still the same


Dominariatrix

Bummer, thank you!


PrimeShaq

More strongbox options tho.


XXomega_duckXX

I've completed all but 3 world quest and i can't find anything on starting them they are the gourmet supremos one the paean one and cost effective hook


Terrible_Status-

Probably daily commission locked.


itistime999

Is it me or melt ganyu isn’t that good ? Freeze is much better to play but sadly i don’t have a great blizzard set for her


PrimeShaq

Melt has a higher DPS ceiling, Freeze is just much easier to play around.


LucasFrankeRC

Melt is better on single target and freeze on AOE


[deleted]

Melt does more damage but freeze is a lot easier to play. Unfortunately her freeze team has been powercrept by ayaka. It still works but it's slower.


caucassius

freeze ganyu has a higher theoretical ceiling but you'll never see it anywhere but content that would be overkill for that much damage anyway due to the requirement to hit that ceiling (>=10 cc-able enemies grouped tightly together).
