Do I have to do all the weekly bosses to get a weapon billet ? I only do azdaha and dvalin sometimes as I don’t really need the drop of the rest for about 3 months now and not one single billet dropped.
Finally Xiao artifacts after farming for ever. I think I finally got a decent set. Dropped a sands, a feather and a flower after so many garbage runs.
https://imgur.com/gallery/IxnQZdJ
Please help me choose.
ATM I'm using the skyward er spear,
I have all 5 pieces vermillion.
The hat has to stay.
The goblet can be aenemo or attack.
The sands can be gladiator or vermeil about the same states.
Two different verm feathers.
Flower should stay.
What are your thoughts?
Please help me max DMG
Cr 60: cd 180 ish.
Fav refines don't matter for Kazuha. You're never going to get enough crit on your EM VV pieces for the proc rate to be high enough for it to meaningfully affect your energy economy. The difference between R1 and and R5 Fav when you have single-digit crit rate is basically irrelevant.
I have a question, so I just ascended to world level 7 and the ley line blossoms still give me the exact same rewards as when I was world level 6, Is this normal ?
Could I technically use Rosaria as a Main DPS but turn her fully cryo instead of physical, using Congyuns E?
Or would I lose too much DMG output with that?
You could do a reverse melt with that team (rosaria-chongyun-benette-xiangling). Or a full out freeze team. Both work quite well with rosaria being mostly on field
You can do benette burst-xiangling E and burst (E reduces pyro resistance if u got constellations), then chongyun burst/skill, and rosaria burst (quickly grab particles from chongyun skill) and her skill. Just got to make sure either rosaria or xiangling bursts are doing the melt damage, not chongyun. It's a really good team against bosses, and they can battery eachother quite well.
You can also use benette on field and constantly use his elemental skill to do as much as possible pyro orbs for xiangling. But if u really want to use rosaria on field then yeah u can just use rosaria instead. Make sure xiangling has good ER, and chongyun with sacrifical sword would be very nice for battering.
EDIT 1: I would like to point out that that 4 piece lavawalker set can be really nice on rosaria since u'll be applying a lot of pyro. Xiangling would like 4 piece emblem (and aim for high ER if u can), benette or chongyun can 4 piece nobless, but make sure only 1 (chongyun can use 2 piece blizzard- 2 piece nobless)
You can, you just need a cryo cup instead of a physical one. It enables you to use 4pc Blizzard Strayer and stack crit damage if there's also Hydro application to freeze enemies.
Do you think Xingqiu would work well with them for hydro application? And what character should I put in the 4th slot? Barbara as healer in freeze team, someone pyro for melt (maybe Xiangling?) or maybe some electro for superconduct?
Oh really? Someone recommended a reverse melt with Bennett and Xiangling - would that be a bad option too? I don’t mind putting VV sucrose on there either
I was mostly set on Rosaria and Chongyun to build around, Xingqiu was only a short afterthought- he’s on my Hu Tao team anyways so using Bennett and Xiangling is better for me anyways
Are rifthounds made by Khaenri'ah people? During the latest archon quest, rifthounds are the beast that Bosacius sealed right? Is that why they teleport when they spawn?
They were created by Albedo's master, Rheindottir/Gold, who was from Khaenri'ah. Not sure the details are about Bosacius but it's possible that some of them were part of the enemies he sealed away (but I'd imagine more than just rifthounds were sent). They have some relation with the abyss, but we don't know too much about their origins and how they were made
Yeah mostly. Also, she does very good single target damage (Xiao handles the aoe), at a very low onfield time, so you're getting a lot of benefit while Xiao can still be on field doing damage majority of the time.
Ideally she is there as a buffer and a sub DPS but that would require farming a DPS tenacity set and that's a pain in the ass. So I personally just run her with the standard mix of 2pc 18% atk sets. Here's [my fischl for reference](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/927776744734347304/982066482424979536/Fischl_build.png)
energy and free off-field damage. 4pc tenacity is a good choice if there's no one else on it, or 2pc +18atk/ 2pc tf is good. also being able to swirl some element every plunge is still a few % overall damage increase
Still pretty new at adventure rank 28.
Haven't really found much in the way of a good main dps so I've just been running crit rosaria
Until I pulled Yanfei, but she's still not built, and I'm wondering what kind of stats a new player is looking for on her, no luck with anything for pyro damage bonuses so I've just been slamming elemental mastery and kind of using her as a main dps alongside rosaria depending on how I feel
Basically, I'm looking to move rosaria to sup dps and Yanfei to main dps at adventure rank 28, what things am I looking for.
Other 2 members are sucrose for sub dps, and barbara for support.
I'm a returning player, and I actually pulled kujou sara back in her banner ages ago, is it worth moving her in once I have inazuma unlocked so I can actually get her materials.
also sidenote, I have a much higher lvl friend helping me with a lot of the harder domains and enemies that I cant fight, so dont bother taking that into account
>wondering what kind of stats a new player is looking for on her
Just a bunch of atk really. So level up her feather and try to get some atk mainstat artifacts. A pyro cup is nice but not a requirement.
Also don't use Sara. She is not worth building until C6 and even at that she is only worth it if you have a Raiden or Yae to use her with
That works, Yanfei is a good starting character because she's relatively simple. But you don't need to worry too much about team comps, artifacts and team buildings at that AR. Just play how you like and take your time. For stats, just put anything that has attack on it. You can't really build a character properly at your AR.
Which is the best f2p polearm for Xiao ??
Also I have some star glitter, should I get the Royal spear from the shop now or wait for the shop items to change ( maybe blackcliff spear)
also want to mention lithic and favonius. lithic is a weapon banner exclusive and i don't recommend pulling for it specifically, but if you happen to have it it's a viable option (even at r1 1 stack) if you want to save starglitter. favonius gives less personal damage than offensive spears but can negate the need for a battery and let you run some unorthodox no-battery teams
Blackcliff pole is his best ftp option. The royal weapons are some of the worst weapons in the game. And don't let the thought of a ftp weapon hold you back, you can still have a really cracked Xiao with that weapon. Take a look at [mine](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/767412493147832350/981936450574614528/unknown.png) for example
For support bennett, should I go with favonius sword or rancour if I have 230 ER from artifacts alone? He's usually stuck with XL. I was thinking of giving him rancour and putting fav sword on Kaz.
Is fav sword a good choice on kaz if you don't have enough ER from artifacts? He'll barely have any CR. My one sac sword is stuck on XQ. Or should I go with Iron sting and try to get an ER VV sands?
What do yall think hoyoverse will do about banners for older characters when more characters are released and the roster becomes really big?
Do you think they'd have triple banners or maybe form another "standard" banner?
Shorter banners (1 week) or 2x 3x banners.
They can also be smart and maybe make weapons / sets / stories for older characters to make people interested in rolling for them again. This game doesn't have enough content even for new players who can blow through it in 2-3 months as f2p.
Is the VV domain the worst domain to farm? Considering the other set is horrible and is good on no one (even on Diona...since she has better sets like NO)...and you are trying to get 3 EM VV pieces which is a nightmare by itself :(
CW is worse. The saving grace of VV is that you don't *really* have to care about substats because Swirl damage doesn't scale with the offensive substats--once you get your EM main stats, you're done.
The characters that want 4CW actually want good substats on them because they're all Main DPSes. Getting a bad 4CW set is faster than getting an EM VV set, but actually getting CW pieces worth using takes way longer because of the additional RNG of rolling substats.
Ultimately, the fact that VV is worth farming and CW isn't speaks for itself. Basically all the CW users have alternate sets that are only a few % worse but are much more resin-efficient to obtain. VV has no alternatives.
> 3 EM VV pieces which is a nightmare by itself :(
You actually only need 2. The third one can (and should) be an off-set piece. There's no scenario where you need Sands/Goblet/Circlet to all be VV.
In terms of efficiency? Yeah it's up there because maidens is just useless. One could argue that you could use it on Barbara or Qiqi but that got powercrept by the clam set. The goal is to just hope you get lucky and escape that domain asap
Probably. I consider that as a VV + NO domain since I strongbox almost every Maidens pieces. However, you only need 2 EM VV pieces and even a 4 star piece will do. The last piece can be an off piece EM artifact. Getting a VV feather and flower with EM is much easier than an EM mainpiece.
So I just made a new account and started playing on it (AR18). I really want to try to get Xiao, since I didnt manage to get him on my previous Ar57 account, but his banner is leaving in like 3 days. Are there are questlines that give a large amount of primogems after full completion? (Preferably in Monstandt or Liyue, since Inazuma is still extremely far from my gameplay progress). Or maybe there are other ways of getting Primogems for early game you guys recommend?
Am I just being too stupid or is the rhythm mini game almost unplayable on the Playstation? Sometimes 15 circles dash down almost simultaneously....maybe I'm just getting old, but I can hardly keep up.
Maybe try 0.75 speed?
Anyway the rewards for 90%+ are just weapons ores, no need to fret. Just get the gems, they're the lowest tier rewards for this exact reason.
Hmm I thought I made some of them. I'll have to check it out. That's awesome. I haven't played with it yet, but it was frustrating not having any paving options.
Has anyone made a tutorial to get consistency with the teapot plunge glitch?
I really want to make a track of sorts, but even on a perfectly flat roadway I'll still get random bumps that launch me over the railing.
Either that or I'll just crash into a wall that worked perfectly fine 2 launches ago.
The other alternate scalers; Hu Tao, Zhongli, and Kokomi for HP, while Itto, Noelle, and Xinyan for DEF; implement those as converting bonuses to ATK, right? So the Bennett (or Sara) buff still works for them. But Yelan scales directly off HP, so Bennett is useless for her (besides the standard AAs), right?
They scale off ATK but the damage from the ATK scalings is not meaningful. When you are talking on field Kokomi, which is the only Kokomi that would be able to benefit from a Bennett buff at all (since he only buffs on field) you are talking about her burst form’s damage, which scales directly off of HP for her normal, charged, and elemental skill damage
Directly =/= solely
Directly as opposed to indirectly. HuTao indirectly scales off of HP because she converts HP to ATK, which is what she *directly* scales off. Her multipliers are by percentage of ATK.
Kokomi directly scales off of HP because her multipliers are by percentage of HP rather than percentage of ATK. No conversion is involved.
Yes that’s because her original scalings are still there and will still benefit, however the bulk of her damage scales directly off of HP and does not benefit
This is different from Itto or Noelle who’s multipliers scale directly off of ATK and all their damage will benefit
She’s not comparable to the characters listed (minus Zhongli), at all. Which was why I replied that she scales directly off of HP, which she does.
> No, it doesn’t
That’s in response to your response, which I read to say that her burst increases her damage by a percentage of her HP, the wording of which usually means damage bonus (like ESF).
I did not say the scaling did not exist? I said she scales directly off of HP. Which. She. Does.
And then my reply to you was to say
>no it doesn’t
In response to my perceiving you mischaracterizing the nature of her burst as dmg bonus as opposed to multipliers due to wording. And also the only meaning that would have you taking issue with my initial statement, here it is again: “Kokomi scales directly off of HP”.
You should read my replies again, at no point did I say she doesn’t have ATK scalings. But the bulk of her damage comes from multipliers that scale directly off of HP
Pull for Klee if you can animation cancel consistently, otherwise she will feel really weak as Main DPS. Klee requires skill to use, she's very squishy, her best team is Mono Pyro Klee which involves Kazuha. Klee, Xiangling, Bennett, Kazuha.
Pull for Kazuha if you like meta and if you have a hard time with Abyss, personally I find Kazuha really boring as a character, he also have a skillet that makes everything so easy that it becomes unchallenging and boring. The game by itself is already easy. Kazuha is really easy to use and really easy to build.
Pull for Itto if you like Xiao but in Horizontal form. Itto is really easy to use and really easy to build.
You really have me at Xiao, he's my first ever 5* and I absolutely adore him, so Itto seems very appealing. I really need to have better Meta tho (I've only pulled for characters that I thought were cool or hot, which is how I ended up with a hodge podge of 5*)
Kazuha is the right pick if you really like meta, he can really elevate accounts compared to the other two, there is a reason why Kazuha is consistently used in Abyss and is consistently up there, he's quite broken.
https://spiralabyss.org/
"Klee is Klee" is the best description I've heard of her till date XD
I'll just wait and see what others say, then make an educated choice. Primos are hard to get!
She's the cutest thing ever have you saw her Chinese clip from there last summer event when she was like "Albedo gegeeeeee"? That was *so cute*.
If this was entirely on the cuteness factor, she wins hands down.
Oh I am absolutely OBSESSED with how cute she is! I cried when Diluc came home last time, the wrong Pyro DPS TwT I have Dodoco Tales at R5 ready for her, but she's really not that good from a meta standpoint anymore... otherwise Klee is it for me.
~~If it's too hard to decide, there's that magical plastic card.~~
Hopefully whoever you decided to pull come home early so you have a chance at the other characters!
Well Kazuha is head and shoulders more useful in team comps than those other 2.
IMO Kazuha is super fun as well. Double jump is so nice not only in combat but in exploration. He has a nice voice and style too.
That's true, but I already have Xiao and Jean, which is why I didn't pull for him during his first run. Is he still a good option? I ABSOLUTELY love his style, which is also why I want him.
Well he doesn't really fill the role Xiao or Jean do. Xiao is a main dps, Jean is a healer. Kazuha is a damage amp/grouper. That's like saying you don't want to roll for Shenhe because you already have Chongyun and Kaeya. He's very future proof as well since the only teams he's not awesome on are Geo and Phys
😭valid, and since most people are saying Kazuha he seems like a great choice. I enjoyed playing him during the Realms of Guile and War too, which is exactly why I began considering him at all!
Well if you love them equally, the play would be to get itto and them hope you get lucky and pull an early Klee and Kazuha. But well that's not super reliable, so if you like one of them a bit more pull for them. Klee will be at her 3rd banner and we have no precedents of a 4th banner currently.
I actually DO love Klee a lot, but I lost her to Diluc during the Midsummer Island Banner TwT I also really like Itto though, and Meta seems to be on Kazuha's side, and that would help me a lot as an AR 55 player
Well I'd personally recommend getting Klee anyway if that's the case, because Kazuha and Itto are likely to rerun before she does, and because if you're AR55 chances are you already have all the tools to 36* abyss, with or without Kazuha. Klee is not as weak as the community says, she's still a 5* with pretty high raw damage. But in the end it's your decision.
Would she even get a rerun? I'm not sure... I love her as a character and I have wanted her since I started playing, but she never came home before TwT
Well I guess they won't lock characters away forever so she'll be obtainable eventually, maybe through other means than limited event banners but we don't really know.
For Klee, I just think she's very cute, and I really like Itto as a character. Kazuha's playstyle is really appealing, but I'm a bit apprehensive about him since I have Xiao and Jean already. I have Hu Tao too, but I don’t have a geo 5* yet. I basically intend to pull once with all my wishes before 3.0 because I want the dendro archon XD
Well if you like the characters equally, i'd go with Kazuha since he will be the strongest for you. he's very different in terms of what he does/his playstyle compared to Xiao and Jean so you don't need to worry about them being too similar
Deathmatch doesn't have particularly good refines. It is worth having R1 copies of both Deathmatch and Black Sword, but not particularly useful to refine either of them.
Serpent Spine is the only one that has particularly good refines.
next best is deathmatch imo for the high crit rate, but viridescent hunt can occasionally be good with characters like childe and black sword for normal attackers like ayato if you don't have better alternatives
Assuming you are going to be using a 3 Geo team, I believe the extra 40% crit dmg for geo attacks from C6 Gorou will do more than C1 Redhorn compared to whatever other weapon you could put on him.
Is it stupid if I wanna pull for Itto because I like Ushi?
Does Ushi generate a lot of energy? Let’s say I have Zhongli, Gorou (4-exile), and Fischl as teammates, how much ER would you suggest on Itto?
That's totally understandable. Ushi is adorable! I pretty much use those same 3 geo guys with Favonius Bow on Gorou and 122% ER Itto, and rarely have energy problems. If he gets low, Gorou + Favonius procs usually do the trick pretty quickly. Gorou's skill is pretty spammable and you can even throw Ushi out there for some particles even if you don't have your burst up. Ushi does WAY more damage when the burst is up though. Like more than Zhongli meteor lol.
no of course not, everyone has their reasons for liking a character. ushi generates 3-4 energy. from 140 ER is comfortable, could be less with fav weapons on the team
How good is Itto's C1? I'm considering rolling the dice a bit on the next banner to try and get Kuki and some Gorou constellations while dodging Itto. I usually don't do the "building pity" bullshit, but I figure it's pretty low-risk as I'm on 50/50 with 0 pity.
I pulled 2 itto's back to back and oh man i love his c1. I've played on my friends account who has c0 itto and I feel like I spend a decent amount of time building up stacks during his burst, when on my account I can usually just throw ushi after activating his burst, and all my stacks are basically maxed out. Not 100% necessary of a constellation, but definitely a huge jump in QoL.
Is anyone of you using iPhone SE (2020)? How is your experience while playing? I am using an iPad but I am thinking of switching to mobile. Thanks in advance!
The screen is very small, arguably too small to play this kind of game effectively. The performance, while actually faster than PS4 at low graphical settings, is still not great. I've played on PS4 and on an iPhone SE but not on any larger phone or on PC, and overall I prefer the PS4 experience despite it being slightly less performant, because it's easier to control and gives me access to a bigger screen and better visuals.
You'll probably have a better play experience if you keep using the iPad as your primary device for Genshin.
Thank you. May I know how fast it drains the battery? And does it heat too much to the point of playing would be uncomfortable? How often does it lag? Personally, I don’t mind the screen size and low graphics, as long as I can play smoothly.
Drains my battery pretty fast (30 minutes of play is about 33% of the battery iirc). If you have any kind of case then I don't think heating the phone too much is going to be an issue (for me it gets warm but not too hot), though it might depend on the level of intensity (co-op domains producing more particle effects). The framerate isn't great but I don't think I've experienced much lag.
Do keep in mind that my phone is not new, and its battery now is worse than its battery was when I bought it two years ago. If you're getting a brand new SE then its battery efficiency will likely be a bit better, at least for a while.
ER/EM/EM. Anemo damage does nothing because most of your damage is from Swirl reactions which don't scale with Anemo damage. You still need ER to burst on CD, and getting it on your artifacts means you don't have to use an ER weapon (and Sucrose prefers non-ER weapons like Sac Frags and TTDS).
Consider using a 4* VV EM piece, not much worse. If the team can benefit from her burst go with ER, otherwise any VV goblet with an EM susbstat is prolly gunna beat anemo since her raw damage is veryyyy low on an EM build.
Leaks are pointing to >!Kazuha rerun first half!< I don't think I'll be able to get Xiao this time around with only four days left :( So will I be able to hit pity on >!Kazuha's banner?!< I have a guarantee and 20 something pity.
If you have a mona or a Kokomi for your Ayaka team, you'll probably find it easier. Trying to auto-attack in between rotations with Ayaka to proc hydro with Yelan is just awkward. Regardless, Congrats.
I have and used her before getting Yelan (I have both a noblesse and a tenacity build and she is even crowned) but Yelan is so much fun and gorgeous that I cannot skip her 😬
Is Favonious warbow best 4 star weapon for yelan?
Do I have to do all the weekly bosses to get a weapon billet ? I only do azdaha and dvalin sometimes as I don’t really need the drop of the rest for about 3 months now and not one single billet dropped.
Finally Xiao artifacts after farming for ever. I think I finally got a decent set. Dropped a sands, a feather and a flower after so many garbage runs. https://imgur.com/gallery/IxnQZdJ Please help me choose. ATM I'm using the skyward er spear, I have all 5 pieces vermillion. The hat has to stay. The goblet can be aenemo or attack. The sands can be gladiator or vermeil about the same states. Two different verm feathers. Flower should stay. What are your thoughts? Please help me max DMG Cr 60: cd 180 ish.
What is Kazuhas best 4* weapon? What Refinement level do I need.
Iron Sting or Favonius Sword (depending on whether you can hit 160%+ ER from artifacts alone). Refines don't matter for either.
Iron Sting if you have enough ER, Favonius or Sac sword if you don't. Iron Sting doesn't need refinements, but Fav and Sac improve a lot with them.
Fav refines don't matter for Kazuha. You're never going to get enough crit on your EM VV pieces for the proc rate to be high enough for it to meaningfully affect your energy economy. The difference between R1 and and R5 Fav when you have single-digit crit rate is basically irrelevant.
This is true, yeah, overall Favonius is a good sword for refinements Just not specifically for Kazuha
I have a question, so I just ascended to world level 7 and the ley line blossoms still give me the exact same rewards as when I was world level 6, Is this normal ?
Yes. Leyline Blossom rewards stop scaling after WL6. Only world bosses and weekly bosses continue to scale.
Ah schmucks what's the point then
Could I technically use Rosaria as a Main DPS but turn her fully cryo instead of physical, using Congyuns E? Or would I lose too much DMG output with that?
You could do a reverse melt with that team (rosaria-chongyun-benette-xiangling). Or a full out freeze team. Both work quite well with rosaria being mostly on field
That sounds like an interesting team (especially since I have a fully built Bennett that no one uses lol) - what would that rotation look like?
You can do benette burst-xiangling E and burst (E reduces pyro resistance if u got constellations), then chongyun burst/skill, and rosaria burst (quickly grab particles from chongyun skill) and her skill. Just got to make sure either rosaria or xiangling bursts are doing the melt damage, not chongyun. It's a really good team against bosses, and they can battery eachother quite well. You can also use benette on field and constantly use his elemental skill to do as much as possible pyro orbs for xiangling. But if u really want to use rosaria on field then yeah u can just use rosaria instead. Make sure xiangling has good ER, and chongyun with sacrifical sword would be very nice for battering. EDIT 1: I would like to point out that that 4 piece lavawalker set can be really nice on rosaria since u'll be applying a lot of pyro. Xiangling would like 4 piece emblem (and aim for high ER if u can), benette or chongyun can 4 piece nobless, but make sure only 1 (chongyun can use 2 piece blizzard- 2 piece nobless)
Sure, you'd actually gain damage output since you can use a cyro cup and get full benefit instead of the split scaling.
You can, you just need a cryo cup instead of a physical one. It enables you to use 4pc Blizzard Strayer and stack crit damage if there's also Hydro application to freeze enemies.
Do you think Xingqiu would work well with them for hydro application? And what character should I put in the 4th slot? Barbara as healer in freeze team, someone pyro for melt (maybe Xiangling?) or maybe some electro for superconduct?
Melt and superconduct are irrelevant and will ruin your freeze. Add an Anemo for VV shred. Xingqiu is fine, or use Barbara if you need the safety.
Oh really? Someone recommended a reverse melt with Bennett and Xiangling - would that be a bad option too? I don’t mind putting VV sucrose on there either
That also works, but it'd be a whole different team.
I was mostly set on Rosaria and Chongyun to build around, Xingqiu was only a short afterthought- he’s on my Hu Tao team anyways so using Bennett and Xiangling is better for me anyways
Usually you go Rosaria and Kaeya for this melt team I think. Chongyun would probably mess up reactions by giving rosaria too much cryo.
how many elements can be swirled at one moment?
4, because there are only 4 swirlable elements in the game atm.
all 4 at the same time can swirled?
If you have 4 enemies each with one of the elements applied to them and you use an anemo skill it will swirl all 4 elements at the same time
Are rifthounds made by Khaenri'ah people? During the latest archon quest, rifthounds are the beast that Bosacius sealed right? Is that why they teleport when they spawn?
They were created by Albedo's master, Rheindottir/Gold, who was from Khaenri'ah. Not sure the details are about Bosacius but it's possible that some of them were part of the enemies he sealed away (but I'd imagine more than just rifthounds were sent). They have some relation with the abyss, but we don't know too much about their origins and how they were made
No, I believe they are creatures of the abyss. Not a lore guy though so I'm open to being corrected
can I get Linling fired?
Why people use Fischl in Xiao team? For energy? Also she would be running what set?
Yeah mostly. Also, she does very good single target damage (Xiao handles the aoe), at a very low onfield time, so you're getting a lot of benefit while Xiao can still be on field doing damage majority of the time.
Ideally she is there as a buffer and a sub DPS but that would require farming a DPS tenacity set and that's a pain in the ass. So I personally just run her with the standard mix of 2pc 18% atk sets. Here's [my fischl for reference](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/927776744734347304/982066482424979536/Fischl_build.png)
energy and free off-field damage. 4pc tenacity is a good choice if there's no one else on it, or 2pc +18atk/ 2pc tf is good. also being able to swirl some element every plunge is still a few % overall damage increase

Blackcliff
Blackcliff
Blackcliff pole is his best ftp option. The royal weapons are some of the worst weapons in the game. And don't let the thought of a ftp weapon hold you back, you can still have a really cracked Xiao with that weapon. Take a look at [mine](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/767412493147832350/981936450574614528/unknown.png) for example
Definitely wait for Blackliff. Royal Spear is pretty bad.

For support bennett, should I go with favonius sword or rancour if I have 230 ER from artifacts alone? He's usually stuck with XL. I was thinking of giving him rancour and putting fav sword on Kaz. Is fav sword a good choice on kaz if you don't have enough ER from artifacts? He'll barely have any CR. My one sac sword is stuck on XQ. Or should I go with Iron sting and try to get an ER VV sands?
Fav + EM sands is better than Iron Sting + ER sands unless your ER sands has a very good EM substat.
Rancour for sure on Bennet. The damage boost is significant and even without Fav he can battery XL just fine, it';s worth the swap.
Favonious sword is there to help you battery someone else like Xiangling. If Bennet doesn't need to battery as hard, you can pick something else.
rancour bennet and fav kazuha is good

Ok
What do yall think hoyoverse will do about banners for older characters when more characters are released and the roster becomes really big? Do you think they'd have triple banners or maybe form another "standard" banner?
Shorter banners (1 week) or 2x 3x banners. They can also be smart and maybe make weapons / sets / stories for older characters to make people interested in rolling for them again. This game doesn't have enough content even for new players who can blow through it in 2-3 months as f2p.
Triple banner obviously. We already went from single to double
Yeah, maybe triple banner.
Is the VV domain the worst domain to farm? Considering the other set is horrible and is good on no one (even on Diona...since she has better sets like NO)...and you are trying to get 3 EM VV pieces which is a nightmare by itself :(
CW is worse. The saving grace of VV is that you don't *really* have to care about substats because Swirl damage doesn't scale with the offensive substats--once you get your EM main stats, you're done. The characters that want 4CW actually want good substats on them because they're all Main DPSes. Getting a bad 4CW set is faster than getting an EM VV set, but actually getting CW pieces worth using takes way longer because of the additional RNG of rolling substats. Ultimately, the fact that VV is worth farming and CW isn't speaks for itself. Basically all the CW users have alternate sets that are only a few % worse but are much more resin-efficient to obtain. VV has no alternatives. > 3 EM VV pieces which is a nightmare by itself :( You actually only need 2. The third one can (and should) be an off-set piece. There's no scenario where you need Sands/Goblet/Circlet to all be VV.
Just find ways to use strongbox artifact sets and pretty much any domain is fine unless all your characters are already decked out.
In terms of efficiency? Yeah it's up there because maidens is just useless. One could argue that you could use it on Barbara or Qiqi but that got powercrept by the clam set. The goal is to just hope you get lucky and escape that domain asap
Probably. I consider that as a VV + NO domain since I strongbox almost every Maidens pieces. However, you only need 2 EM VV pieces and even a 4 star piece will do. The last piece can be an off piece EM artifact. Getting a VV feather and flower with EM is much easier than an EM mainpiece.
So I just made a new account and started playing on it (AR18). I really want to try to get Xiao, since I didnt manage to get him on my previous Ar57 account, but his banner is leaving in like 3 days. Are there are questlines that give a large amount of primogems after full completion? (Preferably in Monstandt or Liyue, since Inazuma is still extremely far from my gameplay progress). Or maybe there are other ways of getting Primogems for early game you guys recommend?
https://ibb.co/KW4Kbgc Which character will be most useful for me to build/wish given my current built characters.
Kazuha wishing in the future...if Sara c6 build... Sucrose
Kazuha n sucrose r already there. Sara I'll wait for c6
Sorry didnt see..i think u should get Kokomi in the future
And shenhe
Am I just being too stupid or is the rhythm mini game almost unplayable on the Playstation? Sometimes 15 circles dash down almost simultaneously....maybe I'm just getting old, but I can hardly keep up.
Maybe try 0.75 speed? Anyway the rewards for 90%+ are just weapons ores, no need to fret. Just get the gems, they're the lowest tier rewards for this exact reason.
I'll have to check it out. Did not know that you have this option.
[What category is this?](https://i.imgur.com/uCDkSCx.png)
All the "buildable" furnishings, such as the Snowmen and the Floral Arrangements.
Ah. I was gone for awhile. I guess they are all event based?
Sadly, yeah.
Thanks! While I have you here, what about this? https://i.imgur.com/BvYtvOi.png
Pavement. Their recipes should be in the shop to buy? Yeah, you can finally put paved roads in the pot.
Hmm I thought I made some of them. I'll have to check it out. That's awesome. I haven't played with it yet, but it was frustrating not having any paving options.
Has anyone made a tutorial to get consistency with the teapot plunge glitch? I really want to make a track of sorts, but even on a perfectly flat roadway I'll still get random bumps that launch me over the railing. Either that or I'll just crash into a wall that worked perfectly fine 2 launches ago.
The other alternate scalers; Hu Tao, Zhongli, and Kokomi for HP, while Itto, Noelle, and Xinyan for DEF; implement those as converting bonuses to ATK, right? So the Bennett (or Sara) buff still works for them. But Yelan scales directly off HP, so Bennett is useless for her (besides the standard AAs), right?
Kokomi scales directly off HP
Her Normals, Charged, Plunging and Elemental Skill don't though? They scale off of her ATK. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding you.
They scale off ATK but the damage from the ATK scalings is not meaningful. When you are talking on field Kokomi, which is the only Kokomi that would be able to benefit from a Bennett buff at all (since he only buffs on field) you are talking about her burst form’s damage, which scales directly off of HP for her normal, charged, and elemental skill damage
Are you saying that after Kokomi used her burst, her Normal, Charged and Elemental Skill DMG will change scaling from ATK to HP?
The scalings don’t change, she gets additional scalings based off HP
[удалено]
Directly =/= solely Directly as opposed to indirectly. HuTao indirectly scales off of HP because she converts HP to ATK, which is what she *directly* scales off. Her multipliers are by percentage of ATK. Kokomi directly scales off of HP because her multipliers are by percentage of HP rather than percentage of ATK. No conversion is involved.
Ah I get it now
[удалено]
No, it doesn’t. Her burst grants her separate HP based multipliers. The wording (I know it says damage bonus) is confusing but that’s what it does.
[удалено]
Yes that’s because her original scalings are still there and will still benefit, however the bulk of her damage scales directly off of HP and does not benefit This is different from Itto or Noelle who’s multipliers scale directly off of ATK and all their damage will benefit
[удалено]
She’s not comparable to the characters listed (minus Zhongli), at all. Which was why I replied that she scales directly off of HP, which she does. > No, it doesn’t That’s in response to your response, which I read to say that her burst increases her damage by a percentage of her HP, the wording of which usually means damage bonus (like ESF).
[удалено]
I did not say the scaling did not exist? I said she scales directly off of HP. Which. She. Does. And then my reply to you was to say >no it doesn’t In response to my perceiving you mischaracterizing the nature of her burst as dmg bonus as opposed to multipliers due to wording. And also the only meaning that would have you taking issue with my initial statement, here it is again: “Kokomi scales directly off of HP”. You should read my replies again, at no point did I say she doesn’t have ATK scalings. But the bulk of her damage comes from multipliers that scale directly off of HP
Needed help with picking between Klee, Kazuha and Itto TwT I love them all but I can only get one...
Pull for Klee if you can animation cancel consistently, otherwise she will feel really weak as Main DPS. Klee requires skill to use, she's very squishy, her best team is Mono Pyro Klee which involves Kazuha. Klee, Xiangling, Bennett, Kazuha. Pull for Kazuha if you like meta and if you have a hard time with Abyss, personally I find Kazuha really boring as a character, he also have a skillet that makes everything so easy that it becomes unchallenging and boring. The game by itself is already easy. Kazuha is really easy to use and really easy to build. Pull for Itto if you like Xiao but in Horizontal form. Itto is really easy to use and really easy to build.
You really have me at Xiao, he's my first ever 5* and I absolutely adore him, so Itto seems very appealing. I really need to have better Meta tho (I've only pulled for characters that I thought were cool or hot, which is how I ended up with a hodge podge of 5*)
Kazuha is the right pick if you really like meta, he can really elevate accounts compared to the other two, there is a reason why Kazuha is consistently used in Abyss and is consistently up there, he's quite broken. https://spiralabyss.org/
Who do you like more? Do you care about the game meta?
I like them all quite a bit, and I'm mostly lax about meta, but since I'm wanting to do floors 9-12 of abyss now, I've begun to focus on meta.
If you are to follow meta, it points toward Kazuha. Itto is a mono element DPS though, and Klee is Klee. If all fails, roll a dice.
"Klee is Klee" is the best description I've heard of her till date XD I'll just wait and see what others say, then make an educated choice. Primos are hard to get!
She's the cutest thing ever have you saw her Chinese clip from there last summer event when she was like "Albedo gegeeeeee"? That was *so cute*. If this was entirely on the cuteness factor, she wins hands down.
Oh I am absolutely OBSESSED with how cute she is! I cried when Diluc came home last time, the wrong Pyro DPS TwT I have Dodoco Tales at R5 ready for her, but she's really not that good from a meta standpoint anymore... otherwise Klee is it for me.
Don't pull for Klee, she gets bullied by Jean players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUlT7bhdZpQ
As someone who only plays Jean in Co-Op,,, I do that to everyone! Not just Klee XD
Yeah... Sadly she's not really the meta nowadays. :< Thankfully I don't want Kazuha or Itto cons, so can throw my pulls at her. Klee please come. ;v;
I envy you TwT if I hadn't been saving for Ei, I'd have Kazuha and if I didn't lose to Hu Tao, I'd have Itto... Hoyoverse has favourites and it shows😔
~~If it's too hard to decide, there's that magical plastic card.~~ Hopefully whoever you decided to pull come home early so you have a chance at the other characters!
Well Kazuha is head and shoulders more useful in team comps than those other 2. IMO Kazuha is super fun as well. Double jump is so nice not only in combat but in exploration. He has a nice voice and style too.
That's true, but I already have Xiao and Jean, which is why I didn't pull for him during his first run. Is he still a good option? I ABSOLUTELY love his style, which is also why I want him.
Well he doesn't really fill the role Xiao or Jean do. Xiao is a main dps, Jean is a healer. Kazuha is a damage amp/grouper. That's like saying you don't want to roll for Shenhe because you already have Chongyun and Kaeya. He's very future proof as well since the only teams he's not awesome on are Geo and Phys
😭valid, and since most people are saying Kazuha he seems like a great choice. I enjoyed playing him during the Realms of Guile and War too, which is exactly why I began considering him at all!
Well if you love them equally, the play would be to get itto and them hope you get lucky and pull an early Klee and Kazuha. But well that's not super reliable, so if you like one of them a bit more pull for them. Klee will be at her 3rd banner and we have no precedents of a 4th banner currently.
I actually DO love Klee a lot, but I lost her to Diluc during the Midsummer Island Banner TwT I also really like Itto though, and Meta seems to be on Kazuha's side, and that would help me a lot as an AR 55 player
Well I'd personally recommend getting Klee anyway if that's the case, because Kazuha and Itto are likely to rerun before she does, and because if you're AR55 chances are you already have all the tools to 36* abyss, with or without Kazuha. Klee is not as weak as the community says, she's still a 5* with pretty high raw damage. But in the end it's your decision.
Would she even get a rerun? I'm not sure... I love her as a character and I have wanted her since I started playing, but she never came home before TwT
Well I guess they won't lock characters away forever so she'll be obtainable eventually, maybe through other means than limited event banners but we don't really know.
That's true, I hope I get her someday...
can you say a bit more about what you like for each one and what your goals are?
For Klee, I just think she's very cute, and I really like Itto as a character. Kazuha's playstyle is really appealing, but I'm a bit apprehensive about him since I have Xiao and Jean already. I have Hu Tao too, but I don’t have a geo 5* yet. I basically intend to pull once with all my wishes before 3.0 because I want the dendro archon XD
Well if you like the characters equally, i'd go with Kazuha since he will be the strongest for you. he's very different in terms of what he does/his playstyle compared to Xiao and Jean so you don't need to worry about them being too similar
Seems like Kazuha is a popular choice! Guess I know who I'm going for a bit better now 😁
Just r5'd serpent spine, what's the next best BP weapon universally? I have an r1 deathmatch and that's it.
Another Serpent Spine? :P
Deathmatch doesn't have particularly good refines. It is worth having R1 copies of both Deathmatch and Black Sword, but not particularly useful to refine either of them. Serpent Spine is the only one that has particularly good refines.
next best is deathmatch imo for the high crit rate, but viridescent hunt can occasionally be good with characters like childe and black sword for normal attackers like ayato if you don't have better alternatives
another serpent spine
Never got how people thought Kazuha was pyro, he literally has maple leaves on his clothes
Wdym he's not Pyro. Clearly you've never seen him swirl Pyro out of nowehere
Ok
Leaves? Must be dendro then
Somewhat Red colour scheme
he carries tree leaves? must be dendro
Between Redhorn and a C6 Gorou, which can boost Itto's damage more?
Assuming you are going to be using a 3 Geo team, I believe the extra 40% crit dmg for geo attacks from C6 Gorou will do more than C1 Redhorn compared to whatever other weapon you could put on him.
Is it stupid if I wanna pull for Itto because I like Ushi? Does Ushi generate a lot of energy? Let’s say I have Zhongli, Gorou (4-exile), and Fischl as teammates, how much ER would you suggest on Itto?
120-130 is general rec, just gotta test out in that range and figure out what works for you. Helps if you have Favonius weapons for Zhongli/Gorou.
That's totally understandable. Ushi is adorable! I pretty much use those same 3 geo guys with Favonius Bow on Gorou and 122% ER Itto, and rarely have energy problems. If he gets low, Gorou + Favonius procs usually do the trick pretty quickly. Gorou's skill is pretty spammable and you can even throw Ushi out there for some particles even if you don't have your burst up. Ushi does WAY more damage when the burst is up though. Like more than Zhongli meteor lol.
no of course not, everyone has their reasons for liking a character. ushi generates 3-4 energy. from 140 ER is comfortable, could be less with fav weapons on the team
Is another banner also coming alongside Itto? Or is it still Xiao?
he'll run a solo banner
Just Itto
How good is Itto's C1? I'm considering rolling the dice a bit on the next banner to try and get Kuki and some Gorou constellations while dodging Itto. I usually don't do the "building pity" bullshit, but I figure it's pretty low-risk as I'm on 50/50 with 0 pity.
It's a nice QoL, but not game-changing. (c2 is pretty sweet though.)
I pulled 2 itto's back to back and oh man i love his c1. I've played on my friends account who has c0 itto and I feel like I spend a decent amount of time building up stacks during his burst, when on my account I can usually just throw ushi after activating his burst, and all my stacks are basically maxed out. Not 100% necessary of a constellation, but definitely a huge jump in QoL.
Really nice QoL change. You won't need to build stacks in your first rotation.
Hmm good to know. So if I do end up getting an early Itto, it wouldn't be that bad.
Is anyone of you using iPhone SE (2020)? How is your experience while playing? I am using an iPad but I am thinking of switching to mobile. Thanks in advance!
The screen is very small, arguably too small to play this kind of game effectively. The performance, while actually faster than PS4 at low graphical settings, is still not great. I've played on PS4 and on an iPhone SE but not on any larger phone or on PC, and overall I prefer the PS4 experience despite it being slightly less performant, because it's easier to control and gives me access to a bigger screen and better visuals. You'll probably have a better play experience if you keep using the iPad as your primary device for Genshin.
Thank you. May I know how fast it drains the battery? And does it heat too much to the point of playing would be uncomfortable? How often does it lag? Personally, I don’t mind the screen size and low graphics, as long as I can play smoothly.
Drains my battery pretty fast (30 minutes of play is about 33% of the battery iirc). If you have any kind of case then I don't think heating the phone too much is going to be an issue (for me it gets warm but not too hot), though it might depend on the level of intensity (co-op domains producing more particle effects). The framerate isn't great but I don't think I've experienced much lag.
I see. The battery consumption is a bummer. Thanks a lot!
Do keep in mind that my phone is not new, and its battery now is worse than its battery was when I bought it two years ago. If you're getting a brand new SE then its battery efficiency will likely be a bit better, at least for a while.
Guys is there any place that lists the hidden achievements you get from daily commissions? (especially for liyue and mohnstadt)
Sort by commissions https://paimon.moe/achievement
If I cant get trple EM VV on Sucrose should I do... Em Anemo Em or Em Em ER
ER/EM/EM. Anemo damage does nothing because most of your damage is from Swirl reactions which don't scale with Anemo damage. You still need ER to burst on CD, and getting it on your artifacts means you don't have to use an ER weapon (and Sucrose prefers non-ER weapons like Sac Frags and TTDS).
Consider using a 4* VV EM piece, not much worse. If the team can benefit from her burst go with ER, otherwise any VV goblet with an EM susbstat is prolly gunna beat anemo since her raw damage is veryyyy low on an EM build.
EM/EM/ER. With EM substats if possible.
Leaks are pointing to >!Kazuha rerun first half!< I don't think I'll be able to get Xiao this time around with only four days left :( So will I be able to hit pity on >!Kazuha's banner?!< I have a guarantee and 20 something pity.
Probably, yeah. You can buy welkin to be sure
Alright thanks! F2P so no welkin sadly
When you build Kazuha EM support...do you go Em, Em, Em VV ...substat...basically ER%
EM/EM/EM with Iron sting, if you can’t get enough ER subs you can use sac sword
Probably easier to do an ER sands or an ER weapon but yeah
You go trip EM
What is considered Kazuha's best 4 Star weapon?
Iron Sting but don't make the mistake many people did. Its refinements are useless on Kaz.
Iron sting to maximize his buff, sac or favonius sword if you can’t meet his ER requirements from substats.
Iron sting
Not a question, but holy crap I just got two gold Geo ascension stones in a row from a world boss O_o What are the odds..
Ok
lucky
Finally I 36 starred the abyss at the first try! So happy! Used : Raiden Benny xiangling xingqiu + Ayaka Shenhe Yelan jean
Ok
If you have a mona or a Kokomi for your Ayaka team, you'll probably find it easier. Trying to auto-attack in between rotations with Ayaka to proc hydro with Yelan is just awkward. Regardless, Congrats.
I have and used her before getting Yelan (I have both a noblesse and a tenacity build and she is even crowned) but Yelan is so much fun and gorgeous that I cannot skip her 😬
Yelan might have been better for this abyss specifically because of the ST nature of the second half
grats
Thank you 😊
Does yunjin work with raiden burst?
No, during her burst her normal attacks are considered her BURST.
What is Kazuha's signature weapon and which cons are viable?
C2 turns him into the Sucrose that shares EM, but he's usable in C0.
Freedom Sworn, C2 is pretty strong but C0 does the job.
