Oh hey, I just realized this is topic 2. From the end of the last one:

AR 35 reached.
Is this when I start farming for artifacts?

General consensus is that you should be doing all of your prep work so that when you get to 40, you can focus on artifacts. Or, some people say you should do that with 40 vs 45, because at 45 you almost always get a 5* drop from domains. But at 35, those artifacts you farm are probably not worth investing heavily into. Money is going to be an issue very soon -- I had a comfortable wad, and then I decided to improve some of the artifacts I had for the time being, and instantly my money was all gone. Did not finish spending my excess artifacts first.

So yeah, make sure you've got one eye downfield, regardless of what you do.

I'm just stuck at 38.
Technically I can explore a bit more to collect everything but I'd rather wait for 1.1 for that.

And I'm fine with the current "login for 30m a day" standard. I don't get complaints on that unless it's your only game. For casually playing it's incredibly efficient.

Am 39, should be 40 by Saturday. I at least am good on ascension and weapon ascension mats for the next tier for a few characters, and with the long gap to 50, there should be plenty of time to catch up in other areas.

Having hit 40 and attempting to farm 5* artifacts and not getting any after 2 runs i think ima wait for 45

Since reaching 35 I've been working on mostly talents and a few weapons I know I'll be using for a while.... and I ran out of money.

How far has everyone gotten in spiral abyss? I beat 9-3 but without the 6 starts to unlock 10. It honestly gets hard, like my diluc can get downed fast if im not careful (and I don't have my strongest healer barabara with him since i use her for the second party).

I don't even want to know what 10,11 and 12 look like

Swifty, sounds like me when I rolled Diluc. Except my team was all 4-stars before that.

Spiral Abyss: Had been comfortable with just having cleared floor 4, but I went back the other day and cleared floors 5, 6, and maybe 7? Got 9/9 on 5.

I've saved up enough gems to do two sets of pulls. I forced myself to wait until the 1.1 announcement hit, and I'm not any better off than I was before. New cryo healer announced, which might or might not be a substitute for Qiqi. Barring that, I have 40 wishes on the standard banner already, so maybe I should just run that one up to 90 first. idk.

Noelle is best girl. None of the other girls offer to make me tea. Also the way she blushes when you look at her talents is super adorable.

That and her super is a lazer sord of doom. Truly she is the complete package.

But yeah...slowed down a lot with this game after 35. Will hit 40 before long, and am assembling materials for character/weapon ascensions. I need approx a billion masks so will have to go on a hillichurl genocide soon.

I'm saving all the refills. I think I burned 1 or 2. (I also might have accidentally used a bunch a long time ago. Before I understood the resin system, I had some sort of accident where I had 420 resin to spend...which I did not make use of.) If today was your day for talents, though, and you needed it for basically everyone, then spending some moons makes total sense.

What I did burn today was my primogems. I decided not to wait until 1.1; ended up with 2 ten-pulls. Nothing amazing. Sucrose, an extra Amber, and some random 4* weapon. But I'm closer to pity on the standard banner now. Maybe that was a mistake. Maybe I'll get a shitty weapon. But I was already almost halfway there. This was probably a better plan than waiting for Diona.

Yeah, I know. The impending reset was why I even tried the abyss in the first place, I just hadn't realized how far I still have to go. I was just going to give it another shot, since I thought the dailies hadn't reset, but they had. Now, I'll just wait another half month

...what level should my second party be for spiral abyss 5?

My basic strategy for getting through the abyss is:

  • One good attacker in each party (stronger one goes in first party since its slightly harder) (As high as you can)
  • One good healer in each party. I would recommend at most 1 ascension back from the primary damage dealer
  • Two guys to help cover up elemental weaknesses for each party or do extra damage. Ideally one ascension back from the damage dealer but you can probably do 2 back.
  • Each party should have at least one ranged person (ideally bow) Some enemies later on (such as electric slimes) are impossible to hit with melee without taking damage so you want something to do while your waiting to heal up


It's been a bit but my guess is you can probably get through ascension 5 with 2 lvl 59 damage dealers, 2 lvl 49healers, and a smattering of other units that won't get 1-shotted.

So this is what I'm slowly building for Spiral Abyss; let me know if there's a problem. The non-DPS characters can mostly get to lvl 60/70 and stop around there, I would think?

Team 1:
DPS: Diluc (lvl 80 with lvl 80 Prototype Animus and my best artifacts)
Healer: Barbara (lvl 60)
Venti (lvl 50)
Kaeya (lvl 50)

Team 2:
DPS: Xiangling (lvl 80 with lvl 80 Crescent Spear and my 2nd-best artifacts)
Healer: Bennett (lvl 1)
Fischl (lvl 80)
Traveler (lvl 50, not sure if Anemo or Geo will be more helpful)

Fyi the teams that got me through Abyss 8.

Team 1:
Razor 70
Qiqi 70
Amber 40
Xiangling 40

Team 2:
Geo MC 70
Barbara 60
Fischl 50
Kaeya 20

Usually team 1 gets Cryo enemies and 2 gets Pyro enemies. And sometimes you need a way to deal with Electro shields on both sides (Qiqi and Kaeya for me) and Geo on both sides (Razor's Claymore and Geo MC for me). If I needed to counter Cryo on team two I might have switched Fischl and Amber. Can't remember.

Thinking of running it like this

Party 1)
Diluc
Kaeya
Barbara
Venti

Party 2)
Razor
Xiangling
Noelle
....Klee if I feel like levelling her, or Geo Traveller

I actually run my stronger healer on team 2 to m ake up for the weaker units i have there. If you get noelle up to 39 she might be enough to keep that group alive and barbara should be able to keep almost anyone alive in group 2

Does xiangling do enough damage to be second DPS (out of curiousity)? I've found that her damage dropped off dramatically compared to intended dps hard carries.

My two spiral abyss teams that I recently cleared 8-3 with:

Keqing (80)
Fischl/Amber (60, 40 respectively)
Flex slot for whatever element I need (usually ice)
Noelle (40)

Diluc (80)
Xiangling/Razor (60)
Flex slot for whatever element I need or Traveler (50)
Barbara(70)

xiangling is my main dps for team 2 that got me through abyss 9. (She was only level 69 at the time as well). She doesnt kill super fast but honestly nothing does in abyss 9. I pair her with fischl though and the combo is definitly solid.

I'm not sure if she will be good enough for abyss 12 but I would guess that she would be fine with top notch artifacts and weapon

Every morning I get my expedition mats from the 5 characters I sent out, but when I try to send characters back out on expedition the game freezes up and the only fix is for me to log off and back on. Takes 2-3 times of me logging off/on to send out 5 characters, its annoying.

I come across this a lot. I think it's because you left the menu with it scrolled down all the way, and then you try to re-access it and it doesn't auto-scroll it back up to the top. If you hit down a bunch, the screen won't scroll, but after a bit, the cursor will come into view and you can then scroll the window back up.

I've noticed a lot of really poor design choices in the game like that. For instance, trying to navigate the nightmare that is the map. Why would I ever want my cursor on the absolute border of the map ever? And yet it's stuck there for all eternity and there's nothing I can do about it. Or if I want to travel somewhere close to an objective, and hitting the button auto-focuses the objective, which means I won't fast-travel. Why do you think I'm trying to click on that, you dumbass game?!

WHY CAN'T I HAVE MORE THAN ONE DIALOGUE OPTION PER NPC CHAT JUST HAVE A QUICK BLURB AND GO BACK TO THE CHOICE SO I CAN CHOOSE THE OTHER THINGS

I've experienced the menu and map cursor issues. They are annoying but manageable. When a waypoint and objective occupy the same area, the game has you pick which one. You can also try zooming in to differentiate nearby objectives
