Current Events > Genshin Impact General 4: Ganyu? I don't even know you!

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can't remember and haven't really been paying attention. I know I've hit Zhongli meteors for 50k. I'm pretty sure my highest damage period is 110k crit with festering desire + crimson stone during the dragonspine event. I'm trying to build up to the million mona damage but it's hard.

---

I had Tartaglia crit 113347 on a Flame Fatui, Floor 7 of Abyss.

---

I've made my Zhongli meteor crit for 46k but I haven't maxed out the HP time piece, Crit Dmg Helm, and the Geo Damage cup I have on him yet. I could make it hit harder if I gave him black tassel but Jade Spear is the only thing not making his crit Rate actual garbage so no lol

I pulled for the unforged and got an R3 Vortex Vanquisher in the process so when 1.3 finally hits Zhongli is probably gonna be my main. I've already got some pretty sweet artifacts. I'm just not sure if I want to use Bolide or Petra + Noblesse. I have C2 Zhongli so between meteors, crystallize, and hold skill, I should be able to have 100% shield uptime but that only affects attack damage. Petra + Noblesse would be pretty good skill & burst damage at the expense of attacking damage.

Oh the decisions

Rust bow
I think I just moved a bunch of the crit damage equips over to him with the purpose of getting the achievement
I might have used Bennett's burst
I think Floor 7 had a damage-on-crit booster too

All I kind of recall considering.

My Keqing has 148% Crit Dmg and 78% Crit Rate.
Should I replace the Crit Rate helm with a crit Dmg Helm or are those stats fine?

There's lots of different opinions on how to do this. I'd say it depends on what focus you want to have.

4pc Gladiator + Geo Dmg Cup is the most damage.

An alternative version of this uses 4pc Bloodstained instead but you'll have to remember to use charged attacks. Lower single target damage but easier to grind.

4pc Retracing Bolide is an excellent hybrid option as well as the highest sub dps option. Basically as long as you can keep up a shield, Bolide essentially outdamages every other set in the game BUT Noelle's breastplate has a very high cooldown so it will be very hard to do in practice. But you can swap to her while her cooldowns are ready for massive damage.

To use as a healer, just use maiden beloved but this is kind of a massive waste.

Don't use: Petra, Noblesse, Lavawalker or Thundersoother.

Claymore: Best overall option is The Unforged. Wolf Gravestone and Skyward Sword are the next best. Among 4*s use Whiteblind. If you can't get Whiteblind then use literally anything except The Bell.

Lets be real, unless gladiator specifically doesn't work for your character, that's the best one to choose in every case unless you want to spend thousands of resin trying to farm elemental sets when it could be better spent elsewhere.

Yeah I was looking at her stats and realized that that crit Rate may be a bit too high, especially since her burst already increases her crit Rate by 15%

Some sets are worth it. Crimson Witch, Noblesse Oblige, and Blizzard Strayer are op as fuck.

Edit: VV as well.

That's an extremely consistent crit rate which should give more dps over the what, 30% drop in critical rate for crit damage. Especially since you wanna take into account things like her abilities and attacks hitting multiple enemies at once. It's not like she's a slow attacker like Xinyan, who only really lands consistent hits with her level 3 shield into charged attack. Then with Xinyan her elemental burst always crits with enough constellations so it's pretty obvious what is best to invest in with her. <3

Challenge 5: 3285

Childe / Fischl / Razor / Qiqi

Max time allotments and HP allotments (100 pointers)

All ticked except 50% physical damage reduction.

---

I am finally caught up with the Hypostasis challenge.

For the geo Hypostasis I ended up doing 200% hp and no time modifier since seems like most of the time gets wasted on the basalt pillars. The 200% hp is fine though because the entire rest of the fight doesn't have as much invulnerability frames so you can burn through it.

---

I have a total of 18500 after this geo challenge. I think the full 20000 points is in the bag at this point. Just got 3240 on the newest geo challenge.

---

Honestly I gauge my DPS on how consistent my damage over time is rather than looking at a big number that takes a ton of setup to achieve.

---

Only 2100 more points to get all the rewards in the Hypostasis challenge. It's been fun.

---

So I just maxxed out Rust, and already have Skyward harp.

I'm guessing Harp goes on Ganyu, and Rust on Fish?

Also, yikes



---

Artifact farming has been shit. Not a single worthwhile piece in 2 weeks

---

300 primos worth of gems total:

Xiao likely next banner coz this is his story focus and no other 5* shown.
4 Geovishap minibosses.
Free 4* character choice: Xiangling, Xinyan, Xingqiu, Beidou, Ningguang, Chongyun.

---

Next banners are confirmed. Xiao then Keqing. Xiao banner is only for 2 weeks. Both of these are easy skips for me.

---

I'm rolling fucking hard for more keqing then

---

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, but fuck this new event.

The hypostasis one? Just choose your disabilities and challenge the 7 challenges. The disabilities..... the more you take on, the more points you get. Some characters provide bonus damage, so you get a benefit attacking with them.

If you get all of that, who are you using, and what's going on? Have you cleared any? What teams you using? Etc.

I'm done with a final score of 20115

(Bare minimum effort award)

I pulled 22000 and some change myself. I tried to have fun with it. I could have cut back on the last one. I actually could have dropped the time a bit more for more points, and definitely could return the first and third event for more points, but it was more interesting at least pushing the challenge to where I could.

I'm glad there's a big enough point window to make this work for people though. There's so much more handicap I could have given myself.

Keqing banner = Non featured 5 stars will get banners = I'll finally have a chance to get Diluc <_<

IIRC the final challenge grants a lot more points to make up for being a huge pain in the ass. That means you can afford to drop the max hp handicap to lv1 and maybe skip other handicaps that hurt your group.

Please explain. Only 2 weeks?
Did they reduce the overall banner duration to 2 weeks per limited banner? If so, that's a great idea coz otherwise reruns and standard rate ups are impossible right now. It hurts people who play free coz they have less time, but I'd be fucking HYPED for Qiqi rate up.

They didn't say why it was 2 weeks or how long Keqing's is for.

---

I assume they are still working on some of the upcoming characters, so these perma-character banners are being used to buy time.

I think the most likely scenario is that they've found that like 90% of people do all their pulling in the first day so by giving people more options on what to pull on will increase spending.

I hope a good sword comes with Keqing. I want a shot at the Aquila Favonia

---

Really wish this Keqing banner was further down the road, don't think I'm gonna be able to hit pity by then.

Ah well, guess I'll just save for hu tao

this event has been known about since before the game released tho

---

Ah, so they lied through their teeth about it instead of changing their minds now. Gotcha.

---

I mean it's not the Lunar New Year. It's the "Lantern Rite"


---

Still rubs me the wrong way

I ascended amber to one star to get the fate and did the pull on Wanderlust and scored a Skyward Pride.

What do I do with this? Lol.

Cant put it on Diluc (using wolf Gravestone)

Cant put it on Noelle (using Unforged)

I don't have any other built claymore characters.

---

Skyward is only really useful on chongyun diluc and razor, wolfs is best in slot for diluc

---

Seems like such a massive fucking waste to just stick it on Chongyun and use it as an energy recharge battery.

Maybe I should build up Beidou?

"we won't do any holiday events"

IIRC what they said was basically that Teyvat is its own world and doesn't need to have the same festivities as our world.
So people don't start demanding stuff like Santa dresses or free presents in Genshin, I guess.
You can tell they completely ignored Christmas and (our) New Year, for example.
.
Also, IIRC they got a huge negative reaction in China for saying this, and after Zhongli / elemental reactions scaling with WL we know they fold when pushed hard enough.

Welcome to my world. The garbage Skyward Blade wasted my standard banner 5* pity and I have not used it even once coz I have no one to use it with and getting Qiqi won't be easy.

Ehhh, I wouldn't say they completely ignored it. They released a giant snowy zone where the main objective was to offer gifts under a giant glowing tree.

A glowing red evil looking tree, and the chinese new year event is all happy and pretty looking

:/

(I'm joking btw)

C1 Ganyu, got a pity skyward blade. :l I mean there's people I can use the weapon for (traveler) but I'd probably prefer to just use my max rank sacrificial sword for super recharge time on cool downs.

---

I'm 50 pulls into my pity, 2.9k primos + welkin, and the last 5* I pulled was Mona on Albedo's banner, Xiao is coming home.
