Think I'm going to have to give up and use a guide and/or those oculus finders. Have 4 Anemo and 8 Geo (including the extra 1) to find but after hours of running around the map (more so on the Geo than Anemo) both last night and tonight I don't think I can find anymore just from map sparkles

I just cleared it on easy for 1k points and I guess I'll come back if I need extra points later

Yeah, my Greatsword users damage the pillars but they don't destroy one before they all do their AoE radius spam and I have no idea how you dodge that attack with all the pillars up.

Yeah all my Greatsword users are level 20 so that's not really an option. It wasn't an issue when I did normal Geo cube

Ok I've only ever done Geo Hypostasis once before and I remember the pillars dying a lot easier. I'm clearly missing something.

How the hell do you destroy a pillar before they all do the AoE attack? Because wailing on it with a Greatsword user doesn't come close to killing it before that attack and I can't see how to dodge that attack with all 4 pillars up. So I'm obviously missing something

Haven't logged in yet today but my highest level claymore user is 20 I think. So unless I can cheese it with a bow user then today is going to be miserable

Cleared the first 8 chambers of spiral abyss. Really wasn't too bad. 8/9 and 7/9 stars so still 200 primos left to get when I can be bothered to get them

It took me until 8-3 to realize you can quit out and restart from where you are if you mess up (my carry died by me being gungho). That would have been useful to know a long time ago!

Up to 46 on pity timer. Noelle now C3 after so got her on back to back pulls. I can probably hit soft pity but not hard pity. Probably not worth it though as it would involve me cashing in the tokens you can trade for 4* heroes for summons. With dailies, Welkin and the month ticking over before banner disappears I can probably get to 65-70 ish summons

Did the battle pass and got the bow for Tartaglia and upgraded it to 80. What the fuck. This is such a ridiculous difference in damage (was using Prototype Crescent). Like I knew he was crit dependent but even so this is just silly.

I guess now time to try find him Crit Damage artifacts

EDIT: Just cleared the time trial outside domain of guyun purely with Bennett triangle > melee to death with Tartaglia. Previously I wasn't even close to killing it and that was at the lower world level

Fuck this boss. Doesn't help that I have next to no experience with this cube. Died like five times in a row to a different mechanic each time

Once you get the attacks down it's fairly easy if you have the damage. It's just frustrating until you do because of how hard it hits when you mess up that it basically forces a reset.

I basically just put myself in the air after every attack until I worked everything out. The annoying thing for me was that Tartaglia is my main DPS and he can't plunge in melee mode so I was losing a lot of DPS to mode switching after every attack to be safe

Lol definitely something weird happened on my game. Just retried and on restart it literally just stood there doing nothing for the first 30 seconds of the fight then when it started doing something it was a completely different attack pattern to normal

Ok I have no idea what I did wrong that time. Gathered all the healing things at the end. It just stood there with like 10% health with no more out there and nothing else happening.

Jesus christ. Just failed because I didn't collect all the healing things fast enough.

Ugh, just failed the 3105 run by like one second I think. It wise challenge failed as I collected the very last Anemo healing thing. Not sure how long death animation takes after that

I really wish it remembered what you had toggled on last attempt. Like I've only fought Anemo hypo once so don't know attack patterns and it sucks that every time I exit and re-enter I have to toggle on everything again

Dr Doom which is odd because I haven't watched it read anything with him in but obviously know who he is

I generally don't bother levelling anything up that has a bad main stat

Main stat? DEF% I assume? That's going to probably limit who it's useful for

Was able to get 3105 on the new thingy. Everything on except movement speed down 20%, self buffs and had it set to under 300 and 25% increased HP. Had 1 min 45 left on clear so I could probably get 3330 by toggling on +50% health instead. I could maybe do it with movement speed down on too but it frustrates me visually to move that slow rather than getting hit by anything.

I was farming for Fischl but was hoping for the other thunder set where I already have a great feather for her (Crit rate, Ele Mastery, ATK%, HP% and nothing rolled into HP)

Ugh, so close to fantastic but not quite. Just got this from the electro domain.

ATK% Main
Energy Recharge +4.5%
Crit DMG +6.2%
Crit Rate +3.5%

It's on a head/crown piece. Got super excited and then saw it's the Thundersoother set and not the thundering fury set. Like I'm sure it's still usable as a single piece but just sucks it's the wrong set

Man the rewards for going from WL5 to WL6 seem barely worth it. Not noticing any major drop differences on bosses and all the dungeons 90s were tied to AR rather than WL. Seems it just made everything more inconvenient for very little payoff

Just watched the two episodes, wasn't a huge fan of it but it's admittedly because of the style and that could change I guess so I'll give it a chance for a bit

I'm still at work right now

Beat it second try once I actually decided to dodge but it entirely depends on me killing that abyss mage quick whilst the frostchurl thing is not killing me

Post if you need help with the domains. Some of them are brutal at first, especially when they hard-counter your team's core strength.

Yikes you weren't kidding. I flawlessly solo 80 Ice/Water one with Bennett. Just tried the 90 one and granted I was stupid gungho but died in like 20 secs.

I mean the WWE style is ass and that's always going to hinder people from achieving their potential

azuarc posted...

As long as you have a balanced team with at least 6 usable characters, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do 7 and 8. (I don't remember what's in them. I just know their power level is well below what I'm dealing with now, and assuming you've done the AR45 artifact grind by now.)

I'm AR44. I should hit 45 in 2 days and I have 53 fragile resin waiting

I actually don't know if I can even clear 7+8 yet as I haven't tried. I did 6 last night with full stars but it entirely consisted of Bennett soloing 1 route and Tartaglia soloing the other. And I somehow doubt that is a viable strategy for very long

Are you simming the games or physically playing them?

Ideally what do I want on Ganyu artifact wise? Like what set and stuff. I want to DPS with her if that makes a difference.

Crit Damage and the cryo set.

My pity timer is at 31. I did pay for a Welkin last night so with dailies that's basically a pull a day. That gets me to ~50.

I don't think I can find another 40 pulls. I could pay for Gnostic which is what? 5 pulls and 680 Primogems? I could cash in those tokens which you trade for weapons/heroes. That's another 13 pulls. I still have abyss 7+8 to clear. Do you get primos for 9 and beyond?

There's probably a misc couple of hundred primos I can get from AR rank up and adventure handbook and LiYue chests once I get Rep 6 and the treasure finder since all my areas are at like 70% cleared.

Yeah, it's not going to happen. Probably will hit pity the next banner

Missus just got her first 5* off soft pity at like pull 75. She's not happy as she wanted Ganyu but got Keqing and she was already using Beidou and Fischl

I have 1 more quest to go but apparently it requires me to get all the geoculus in Liyue to do it and we'll I'm just not going to do that because that will take forever

Probably The Stringless

Nice. Grats!

I only had enough for 6 wishes and they were all blue but that's not a surprise given the odds

Well I opened enough chests to go from 0 Anemo sigils to 196. That got me from 623 Primogems to 772 although I think I triggered a couple of achievements too

When is the new banner out? No banner showing for me right now

I don't trust these 100% even with rounding up. I've now found 10 extra chests in an area since hitting 100%. There's no way Galesong Hill has 1000 chests by itself.

The map completion percentage rounds up? Have a gold/yellow 100% in an area but it immediately said there was another chest close by (which there was) and now I'm worried there's still more even though it says 100%

I think everyone gets different coops daily? Mine today was kill 2 assassins.

Also just got the treasure tracker for Monstadt and man I must have missed a lot of chests. First area I've tried it in I've gone from like 80 > 84% in maybe 20-30 minutes

And on the other end of the spectrum

https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/kvq2d2/ganyu_c6_vs_dvalin_childe/

I think I have like 650 primogems and I'm maybe like 30 pulls into pity so I don't think I'll be in the Ganyu sweepstakes unless I get stupid lucky. I have only cleared Abyss up to 6-1 though so I have some primogems to come there.

Which is a shame as I got 2 pretty good Ice artifacts this morning whilst trying to get Tartaglia some water stuff. It's actually pretty annoying right now as I have 50 fragile resin but I'm rank 44 (only just into rank 44) so it's a while until I can spam it all. And other than Abyss and chest exploration I have nothing to do

Gold artifacts I got this morning off 120 resin were:

Water Feather - ATK +5.3%, Def +5.8%, HP +299, Crit DMG +13.2% (Crit DMGon the +4 and +8 roll)
Ice Flower - ATK +4.7%, Crit DMG +7.8%, Ele Mastery +23, Def +23 (Native 4 rolls)
Ice Goblet - Cryo Main, ATK +14, Crit DMG +6.2%, Ele Mastery +21, DEF +5.1% (on the +4 roll)
Ice Circlet - ATK% Main, Crit Rate +2.7%, Crit DMG +6.2%, Energy Recharge +4.5%, HP +4.7% (on the +4 roll)

So I got pretty damn lucky

They gave the two way players more days and made it so 10 day contracts can be used earlier than normal too

But yeah should have been like extra roster spots too

I saw a video on reddit with a way to cheese it, it's probably still on the front page.

Use Xiangling. Port to teleport right next to you straight after pop. Throw her doll thing on the grass. The abyss mages stand on top of the burnt grass and it pops their shields through burn damage.

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/kuz634/day_4_lost_riches_2_easiest_ways_to_solo_clear/

Oh lord what if they make Cissnei as thirsty for Zack as Jessie is for Cloud.

Give me more Zack and Cissnei!

Magic declared a player out and then had to walk it back and declare him questionable. Likely because of minimum roster requirements. Guess we will see if he plays any minutes tonight (I don't think he does)

EDIT: Alternatively it was a load management decision and we now believe the league will shut down tomorrow and so are fine playing him.

EDIT2: Just spoke privately with a Magic beat reporter and he agrees with me that it may be the latter. No sources or official word, just that he got the same vibe as me.

Worth pointing out the Magic played the Mavericks 2 days ago. Mavs are up to 4 positive cases now. Magic have 9 healthy players before any COVID designations / quarantine/ etc. You need a minimum of 8 players for a game to go ahead.

So which quest chain are people seeing Hu Tao in? I see her mentioned and pictured on reddit a lot but I've literally never seen her but somehow people know a lot about her?

I think the only quests I have left to do are Mona's and Childe's (which I'm doing right now).

NBA is having a meeting tomorrow. Feel like this is going to be a season postponement meeting

Yeah, I had just pulled a Tartaglia before banner ticker over so my pity timer was in the 10-20 range at banner start.

Tartaglia x2, Mona, Qiqi are my 5*s so far. So I probably need to wait out the next banner even if Ganyu is good

Scrolling through now

Fischl x4
Sucrose x2
Qiqi
Chongyun
Sac Greatsword x3
Eye of Perception
Favonius Lance x2
Sac Bow
Favonius Codex

Looks like I was in the wrong end of RNG with the 50% chance for it to be a featured 4* since only 6/15 (discounting the 5*) of mine were the featured people
