Congrats on your 3 standard banner fates lol

Apparently all adventurer exp you get after hitting 60 now gets converted into mora as well!

Guess who's an Abyss Legend now, boys

Is it the maniac who upgraded her Aloy to level 90?

I'm that maniac

If it was easier to trigger her cryo-infusion, she actually would be pretty good with Shenhe

And that is precisely why.

Free stuff cannot be too good in Genshin. Unlike other gacha.

Finally finished up the Fischl dungeon. How were the two bridge puzzles in the first part of it so much worse than everything else than the rest.

Also goddamn the ending of that was Persona as fuck.

Completed the first act of the liyue archon quests (meeting up with the adeptis)

I feel like the game had a big jump in quality between Mondstadt and Liyue

Have you been pulling on the gacha yet, teep?
Oh, you'll see a bunch of side quests related to several of the 5-star characters. Mona's is required for the current event, so you should probably prioritize her for now.

I honestly think Heizou is as good as a five-star as a main DPS, and really the only reason he isn't is because his kit is less versatile.

I basically rushed to AR 35 and got to Inazuma. Probably have enough to pull for Kazuha but I don't find him too interesting so I'll wait for next banner probably.

Reminder that you should build Kaeya

No, I don't think I will

Only the free stuff, whenever I save up enough primogems. I'll post my current roster tomorrow when I log on again

I don't have Mona yet tho

Monas not a character you can really plan on getting. Mona is a character that spooks you when youre trying to pull something else.

You dont need to have her in your team in order to complete her side mission.

I feel like since I have C4 Kazuha I should finish the job. My brain tells me no but my dumb ass tells me yes.

Everything after C2 is a waste tbh

C4 is actually pretty nice, though totally not necessary

This is surely end game content, adorable dogu located.

Also now that I've unlocked co-op can someone fill me in on some deets about it.

Just reading about it here:
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Co-Op_Mode

Co-op is just for fun and a few achievements. Enemies are actually stronger in it.

Thanks. So I can mostly ignore co-op if so inclined?

More friendship points gained for your character.
Enemies grow stronger in HP and ATK with every extra player in team.

Generally, it's great for newbies who can't beat the domain alone and experienced players like to join it for fun (coz it's more interesting than the boring solo domain grind)

You can if you want. There are achievements for beating bosses in co-op so you should at least do each boss once in it if only for the free primos from achievements.

I set co op to auto-decline >_>

I'll post my current roster tomorrow when I log on again

In my party:

• Traveller (anemo) C2
• Razor C1
• Yanfei C0
• Barbara C0

I also have:

• Noelle C0
• Kaeya C0
• Lisa C1
• Amber C0
• Thoma C2 (kinda torn between him and Yanfei, since I have better weapons for her and she does ranged damage that's always pyro-elemental, which I would lack with him)
• Chongyun C0

Congratz.

In other news, C0 Tighnari is Yelan now

I hate Dendro on principle because I don't believe in the power of veggies

Initial impression of C6 Kazuha - it simultaneously feels weak as hell and broken as hell because of how it works alongside his skill and ult... and I'm not sure whether C6 Kaz is the weakest C6 5-star Main DPS or by far the strongest... and it all boils down to how you define a Main DPS.

Best way I can describe it is that he's kind of like an Anemo Tartaglia at C6

@meralonne

How you managed to get Lisa to c1 already is kinda mind-blowing lol. For reference, most of your gacha rolls will be on the "Limited" banner and the "starter" characters (Kaeya, Lisa and Amber) are not in the draw pool for that banner. Basically, you have to either buy them in the shop or get really lucky on the standard banner.

Anywho, your current party is probably fine. I might consider swapping out Traveler for (eek) Kaeya... when using a pretty "physical" damage character like Razor, you can use a cryo character like Kaeya to apply that element and then follow up with applying Electro with Razor. This creates a reaction that reduces your target's resistance to physical damage.

Elemental reactions are pretty important to the game as a whole. It's a good idea to figure them out. There's a domain in Mondstadt that will help you with learning a bit about that. That said, don't get too used to Razor, he gets powercrept pretty quickly. But he *is* good enough for early content. Yanfei is a good early character as well, though she gets much better with cons.

I'm on the fence about getting my c3 Kazuha to c4 now, so next rerun c6 would be possible. With the c6 EM damage scaling on his attack/plunge, plus infusing his attack with c6 Bennet, and his passive, he can basically become his own pyro Shenhe, that would get even better with all the EM boosting Dendro stuff.

But then again I'd also rather save my pity have a better shot at c0 Cyno and Alhaitham.

C4 helps a little but not as much as it should as a 5-star constellation.

C1 is low-key his best energy gen constellation because he can hold E, then Q, then tap E

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll try it out with Kaeya instead of Traveller and see how that works

Kaeya is way better than any F2P starter character has any right to be.

I don't think I ever realized just how much damage Kazuha's swirls actually do. Shit is RIDICULOUS.

This is pretty funny coming from a doctor lol

Little known fact: the dude from Man vs Wild used to be vegan. He got covid, went crazy, and now only eats meat and says vegetables are bad for you.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/5/5/AAZs-EAADfhj.png

dendro selfdamage halved.

Man, I need to get my hands on a few more standard pulls. Pretty close to soft pity now and I need to get my hands on Jean, she's the only standard 5-star I don't have.

Jean has a unique ability to be great on literally every team that has an open slot.

She does the "jack of all trades" schtick better than any other character by virtue of also being Anemo, which is a "jack of all trades" element.

Has anyone figured out what to do with that Harpastum ring on the starting island

probably just a reference to the first year

I finally do the event.

I cannot instant load the text whenever Fischl speaks and it aggravates me.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by 'low quality png gacha' but I read faster than Fischl speaks. -_-

What fun would it be if I couldn't exhaust everything failing a timed trial and have an even lesser chance defeating it the second, third, fourth, fifth... go around?

Guess I have to git gud.

Herd u like elemental mastery

https://youtu.be/8eSjSqW_PVE

Kaeya likes it

So

• Nilou passively applies hydro in a field around herself (likely kept after she switches out). Video and leaker words together imply she may have 100% uptime on it despite a long cooldown on skill (applies AFTER skill effect ends, yet video showed her hold it BEFORE skill use). This makes her superior to Kokomi and Mona at freeze application depending on its internal cooldown / application frequency?
• Nilou has Tartaglia's quadratic scaling (all enemies hit by skill are tagged and then explode for AoE hydro damage with her burst)
• Nilou boosts bloom damage groupwide. This means she will be a fantastic member of taser teams as a passive AoE hydro applier.

My first impression is, if her kit fully scales on HP for damage and buffs, she may lead to very deadly AoE dendro taser teams
