Thinking about skipping Hu Tao entirely.

People are checking math and she's pretty much just a crappy Diluc with a HP loss drawback.

Considering that I don't have Diluc or a good Pyro DPS, I'll take what I can get ;-;

---

Wow..... really? I was considering getting Hu Tao since I needed a fire person...... maybe this Diluc was a blessing for me.

As usual wait for her to come out and see what she's like in actual play but right now the math is not looking good.

---

Wait.

She's not a catalyst. She's a spear.

Well, now I am even less interested. I have zero catalyst characters I still use at this moment. However, I have Zhongli and Xiao for spears, which I am kinda short on right now anyways.

I was thinking Hu Tao being fire, would be a fire catalyst user I can finally throw my books at too since I have various catalysts, but seems that's not the case anyways. Welp, I guess I get to probably save even longer.

---

Yeah. I think the leaks saying she was a 4* character upgraded to 5* at the last second are probably right.

---

I'm so glad i pulled Klee despite people saying she was trash when released. I can live without diluc or Hu Tao as long as i got her.

---

Plus side: Save gems
Down side: I love pulling

---

Klee is really good just hard to play and very expensive to build. I think at C0 she's the top damage in the game.

yeah it was mostly people who didnt know what the hell theyre talking about.
Klee is incredible

lol

Alright these Hu Tao animations look a little better Not quite on Xiao level, but better than a 4 star for sure.

I dunno, from the numbers I'm getting it looks like she's gonna hit fucking hard even without the HP gimmick. Not overly confident that I'm doing the calculations correctly though.

---

After getting Keqing last week I rolled a few more times to top off Ning/Benny, thinking it would be safe... after 21 rolls I got Mona lol. At least now I have Ben/Ning/Barb c6 and prepped for whatever future banner character interests me.

Tfw when you save up 10 fates and get only weapons

So this is a thing and they'll probably either patch it and thus nerf the traveler, or claymores, or both

Mihoyo probably do something like "hitting starfall with a plunge attack destroys it" and then 30 seconds later a combo vid of geo Trav one shotting Dvalin shows up.

---

Pulled 1 Wolf Gravestone then 2 10s later pulled a Homa. Could have done without the sword

---

WGS is basically the best claymore in the game tho.

---

I'd be cool with wgs or a lithic blade so I definitely wanna roll. Not till after Hu Tao though

I don't use and unlikely ever will use claymore users

---

Ended up getting a Gravestone from the Amos Bow banner when Ganyu was featured. Since I don't have Diluc, I opted for equipping it to Xinyan. Her attack stat is 3200, crit rate 56%, and crit damage 117%. Her E can hit for 21k and her Q for 27k (excluding pyro jet damage).

finally done levelling artifacts. at least for a good while

---

Secret achievement



---

I fear the day we get an adorable S-tier geo loli and I have to raise her.
That'd mean having to grind that geo cube a lot...I'd rather fight Oceanid 20 times than geo cube 5 times.

Then again, at the very least now I can use Ganyu + Klee to cheese the fight and I can set up a teleporter on the island.

EDIT: 17 hours until the free primogem lottery.

---

I've been grinding the hell out of the bosses lately. Mostly cryo whopperflower and the new Primo Geovishap in preparation for Rosaria who is a 1.4 character according to the Chinese leaker.

---

Rosaria and Hu Tao coming in the same banner would be a dream come true for me.

Rosaria is on the Venti rerun banner according to the leaker.

Also to me, because I won't have to see her on Venti's banner.

Wasn't what the leaker said that Rosaria is NOT on the Venti rerun?

Wait yeah I think I got that mixed up. But she's not gonna be on the Hu Tao banner she's 1.4

So then she would have to be on the same banner as the rate up standard 5 star right? Cuz she won't be on Venti's apparently, and she can't be on Ayaka's cuz they're both Cryo.

Yes. I think people are currently speculating Diluc as the rate up. The only other option would be Mona because Jean would mean two back to back wind banners.

In the end it's all theorycrafting, though. Remember Zhongli -> Albedo?
And Ayaka is many months away.

Finally WL8.

Still need to finish up Lantern and Theater stuff. Only just finished part 2 earlier because of some bugs with the reputation quests preventing progress on the time-sensitive Lantern quests.

Just pulled a second Keqing, but from the Wanderlust Ivocation.

Why can't my luck be that good normally T_T

---

I'm jealous of everyone who is getting Keqing :'(

---

First 5 star pull.... and its Qiqi. Kinda disappointed it wasnt Keq but hey a 5 star is a 5 star and this is pretty hype!

Qiqi is the best healer in the game by a mile, so that's no bad feat.

Plus, good Cryo types are pretty rare.

My first 5* was Mona. Followed by Klee during the Klee event, and then I got Qiqi and Keqing in the past week. Getting Keqing twice was crazy.

Honestly, to me the luckiest thing I've ever "pulled" was a week where I literally pulled four completely random Noelles. I actually fully completed her Constellation this week, and she's legit amazing when maxed out.


---

I'd argue Qiqi isn't that great outside of her healing. She produces too little energy and other healers like Diona/Noelle and Bennet offer more utility over just extreme healing. Most scenarios Qiqis healing is overkill. Her CD are also a issue and she applies a very slow amount of cryo so she's not great from a melt combo perspective. Her constellations are also trash so getting dupes feels bad. Overall I still got her to freindship 10 and she is still very much usuable, I just don't consider her the best healer in the game.

After weeks of grinding this is the best shit I could muster for Hu Tao.







At least I got a SoH

I prefer Noelle. Tiers be damned.

Leyline overflow is live btw

Just checked. So the first 3 you do a day if you spend normal resin (not condensed) give double drops. Nice. Mora is the biggest gate keeper and we'll get enough exp books over time anyways, so as long as you have two functional teams for the abyss you're already off to a really great start.

And talents cost so much to boost, as does raising level caps for weapons and characters. So it's an easy choice to go all in on that.

---

Mora can be obtained in unlimited quantities through stardust so the exp books are a better buy unless you've already maxed out your main teams.

---

:l but mora is what maxes out your main teams. 1 mora per 5 exp from books.

Yeah but you can always just buy more mora with the asstons of stardust you get that don't really have any other useful purpose.

You say that like there's an unlimited amount you can buy at a reasonable conversion rate. Hell, if I emptied out all of mine after $260 in loot box buys, I'd still not have enough to fully talent max my main 3 damage dealers.

Heh talents are the worst. I blow through the battle pass mora in seconds.

Still though it's like 170 books to go from level 80-90 -_-

Besides main damage dealers and a support like fischl who has oz out while she's not, the difference for most support and other momentum building/ maintaining folks is negligible from 80 to 90. Though I will say it's 10000% worth raising their level cap because talents and the slight boost to some secondary stat (electro boost, crit rate, etc.)

lol imagine wasting a fate currency on garbage like mora.

gunplagirl posted...

Mora is the biggest gate keeper

EXP books are worth far more IMO. Lv80-90 drain them a shit-ton and you want all damage dealers at lv80
