(+) Yeah! (+)

cool, that's another banner i get to save primos on

---

Albedo has an elevator.

Nuff said.

---

Albedo rerun could likely be lumped with a good Inazuma 4 star. Assuming they don't just downgrade the less popular limited characters to the general pool instead of risking a dud banner lol

Im probably gonna wait till the end of Eula banner to see if shes a great carry. Im still building noelle and she seems like a great claymore carry if you have a geo character like zhongli to work with her cause of the 4pc bonus.

and if I find out Klee is after Eula I may just wait for her as I really dont have any major pyro carries.

The absolute worst part of him

I wonder why Noelle is suddenly so much more popular lately. In the last patch, she jumped up from near-last place to upper mid rank in Abyss usage, and gained like 100 points on the Teyvat Stock Exchange.

It's not like her stats got better or she got a new set or anything.

---

The new weekly boss emphasizing shield usage and/or healing kinda forced everyone to raise her lol. For me, all my more preferable healers are at max friendship now so she's been tagging along so the experience doesn't go to waste.

Oh, I guess that makes sense. Plus I think the current abyss buff is an AOE attack when a shielded character is hit, so that might help too. And she was featured on Zhong's banner, so I guess maybe some people got her to C6.

---

More people have her at C6 now? idk, mine is still at C4 and there's a high probability that I won't use her even if I do get C6.

---

Honestly, I hate to say this because I really like her, even though she gets really good, the cost involved in getting her talents and gear to the level where the mathematics of her defense scaling starts to get good is just not worth it for most people.

There are far too many characters who come online with far less investment.

---

Status update: last roll went to ER, yay



---

Probably gonna roll Eula to C1 then dump on the weapon banner

---

Nice, I'm just gonna roll to see if I can get her once. I fully expect another Mona constellation, though.

This exactly, for me.
After Azhdaha and the new Spiral Abyss, no choice without shields.


---

Noelle being able to generate two different shields (breastplate and geo shields) is actually surprisingly useful in the abyss, now that I think about it.

---

Wtf? I just got the same daily commission twice on my list. Unseen razor. Is this a thing that can happen?

---

Just finished raising my lv70 Fischl's Thundering Fury +20 artifacts, lv60 Stringless, C2.
Shot the Ruin guard with Tartaglia's arrow, used Oz, Tartaglia tore it to pieces.

Yeah, I need those 4 extra Fischl constellations. Hyped to see the team in action after 1.6

---

Unseen Razor has different variations right? I've had an Ella Musk commission twice in the same day before, where she had the same objective, but in different areas.

Finally managed to get the third variation of "Pirates" this morning for the whopping 5 primo reward lol.

I've also pulled two Ella Musk commissions in the same day, it actually forced me to do them in a specific order because one said that she was busy with another quest. Never pulled Unseen Razor twice in a day, though.

Now, if only I could pull "For the Love of Godwin" one more time. Been sitting on 4/5 for months now.

---

Just wondering, couldn't you theoretically pair Eula with C6 Fischl, superconduct the shit out of someone and utterly decimated them?

---

finally had some good luck on the character banner. got zhongli c1, diona at c6 and yanfei now.

---

I've been really impressed with C6 Diona. Her shields are stronger than I expected.

---

I think I'm finally getting into Noelle's hypercarry stat scaling range

---

If I get her to C1 and pull her weapon I'll shit myself like I did when I got Hu Tao to C3 and got Homa

---

I'll never get as lucky as i did with Hu. Prefarmed everything, got a perfect artifact set, did one ten pull on the weapon banner and got Homa.

I'm on 50/50 for Eula so probably getting Qiqi'd again.


---

The luckiest I've ever been in GI is when I decided to play the PS4 version just for kicks, and using only free primogems and the free pulls at AR10...

Very first Standard banner pull: Jean
Very first character banner pull: Venti

---

Even if i don't get Eula I'll still have my Rosy. I would really like a C1 Jean if I don't pull her.

I'm more prepared for Eula. I didn't have a decent artifact for Hu Tao until long after her banner ended.

Yeah the thing with Diona is that she doesn't have any single constellation that suddenly makes her awesome like Noelle, but all of them are pretty good and collectively they make a huge difference.

I've seen people complain about Diona's weird -60% charging time within burst constellation...but that one is probably good at wrecking electro defenses?
Still at C5, but hyped to get Diona's mini-Sucrose constellation (elemastery buff in burst). Huge heal bonus too when in critical health.

Complain... because it charges faster? Why would anyone complain about that? Admittedly, it's the one upgrade that's kind of meh but I don't see any downside to it.

---

Because Diona is a healer+shielder+buffer with garbage damage, so the C4 looks like it doesn't suit her kit at all at first glance.

---

These are the only two decent artifacts I've found for Eula. I have a complete set, of course, but the rest are basically Main Stat correct placeholders.

I suspect I'll need a +Crit Rate helm

Well that's silly because applying cryo is also one of the things people use her for. This constellation lets you do it more effectively. Again, it's weak compared to the others but still has its uses.

Is it worth farming purple artifacts? Im still low AR, but I want to deck out Eula when I theoretically get her. I cant get legendaries yet.

ive got a bunch of purples already, and leveled them to max, but I doubt they are properly statted

Don't bother seriously farming for artifacts until AR45+

Post your screenshots that you've collected with your Kamera!

I call this one... Klee Will Not Have Order






Da da daaaa

I need C6 Beidou. She makes my girl parts moist.

I'll be honest, if I pull one I'll be pissed off because I have absolutely zero use for it and unlikely ever will until Ayaka maybe.

Short answer is no* they have a maximum level of +16 instead of +20 and the base stats are lower so the difference is fairly substantial.

*There's a few edge cases where using a purple flower & feather are okay for a purple exclusive 2pc bonus. Only for very specific characters using very specific builds.

Or you could be Venti and sweep the abyss with no artifacts equipped

Righty-o, Ill just level to 16 the first purple in the pale flame set I get for Eula and not worry too much about it. Cheers

You need to start somewhere.
Don't overdo it and focus on main stats, maybe try 1 good substat, but don't overly invest too much.
They'll be garbage once you reach AR45 and get consistent gold artifacts, but building each character gold +20 usually takes me 1 month.

---

Yeah it's fine to farm artifacts before 45 but I wouldn't seriously think about doing that till AR40 minimum. If you have friends to help carry you you could also wait till 45 but me personally I got my Keqing to a ok point so I could eventually farm everything I needed to solo. It was a rough transition going to 45 for me for a little while since I did it all solo and depending on your characters makes it easier or harder

This is true for what you should try to get eventually. But in the short term, I see nothing wrong with farming the purple ones to make your life easier in the meantime.

Just don't worry about trying to get all perfect stats. For the headpiece, cup, and timepiece just worry about the main big stat and don't worry about substats. For the feather and flower, just get one or two good substats.

When your level and weapon are high enough to take the higher level domains, use the purple ones to build the high level ones. You only lose about 20% of what you put in so it's totally worth it if you ask me.

---

It's also important to remember that you don't need a huge number of artifacts, just enough to fill two teams worth of characters, and it's okay to switch artifacts to another character instead of getting their own set if that character utilizes the same stats and set bonuses

One perfectly rolled set of DPS gear is much better than a dozen crappy sets, don't waste your resources leveling up crap.

Just FYI you can chuck a +20 crap into a +0 awesome and it will instantly level to +18 so it's not a huge waste investing in crap as long as the crap is 5

Decided to mix up my keqing and go 2x thundering fury/2x glad.

Holy crap...if electro is this good before the buff, it's going to be insane after 1.6.

There's probably gonna be a new electro set in Inazuma that's being designed with the buffs in mind.
