How am I underselling Kuki? I suppose you could argue that being the most used on the list could be interpreted as damning with faint praise, but I've been actively using Kuki since I farmed the Gilded domain. Anyway, I'm aware there's a difference between (not) good and (not) optimal, but I genuinely don't see any reason why I will ever want to run any of those other characters when I don't have the five-stars they pair with and I'm not in love with many of their designs, either. (Particularly Layla, who makes Qiqi look like Richard Simmons.)

To sceptile, yeah, she has a stronger shield, but the limitation on Diona's shield isn't its strength, it's the duration. 5 paws * 2.4 = 12 seconds, same as Layla.

To swordz, maybe I've misjudged, but my limited experience with Collei first-hand and from hearing others talking about her is that her abilities have long wind-ups and poor, weirdly-arcing hitboxes, such that there's no practical benefit to using her over DMC. She's certainly likeable, though.

edit: Oh great, this was the first post on the new page. Now I'm going to look like an argumentative ass for weeks.

I have a tendency to leave Spiral Abyss for the very end of the cycle, but especially when Wolflord is there. Why do the devs always have to put enemies in Abyss that I've never otherwise fought, and are massive timesinks during an abyss timer? Like, the only reason to fight Wolflord is if you have Itto (and Gorou?), which means you play a geo team...and if you don't play a geo team, Wolflord is kinda awful. At least I know how to fight the Ruin Snake.

I think we have one more cycle with Wolf Lord, given that Abyss will reset before the patch drops. Not sure though.

Unrelated but I finally got around to clearing Golden Slumber + the follow up quest, and cleaning up most of the desert. The underground is kind of a maze but I liked it aside from the clearance stuff. Only had to look a couple things up I was missing like some of the obelisks. A loooot of primogems down there.

Clearances frustrated the poop out of me. I didn't understand what was happening or why, as I would explore this massive underground area and not having access to select places...and I couldn't figure out how to progress the quest at one point, so I assumed I was just supposed to do something elsewhere first to gain clearance when nope, it was right there the whole time. I just had to look up.

I went back and finished the majority of that recently, but I'm still not quite done.

The maddening part was trying to make notes on where locked clearance stuff was so I could remember to come back later. I like exploring the vertical area design except it's very hard to remember where you've been and make notes when there's two or three layers. Hell I can't even tell where the teleport waypoints even are. They should just add another layer to the map screen tbh.

I'm still level 6 in the TCG, need to get back to it. But I was having a good time with Keqing/Collei/Fischl. I plan on switching Keqing for Cyno once I rank up and can invite him.

Also want to try to Geo resonance team with Noelle and uh...Lawachurl??? And a third idk. Maybe another monster for the meme.

Yoimiya/Chongyun/Ayaka, but only for a few more days until they nerf Yoimiya into oblivion. But I'm practically done with the TCG so I won't feel the hurt so badly.

Managed to get Raiden Shogun after 78 pulls. Now just gotta figure out how to gear her. I guess Favonius Lance is the best thing I have for her (other options are Dragon's Bane and Dragonspine Spear). Or I can go work out how to get the Catch I guess but that may take a while we I haven't done any fishing yet.

Seems like I have never done the domain they recommend to gear her from either.

And of course Thunder Manifestation is annoying to fight just from fight length rather than being difficult

Congrats! The Catch is so good that's is on par with 5* weapons, definitely worth doing. Favonius Lance makes for a good filler weapon in the meantime that you will be able to reuse later. Fish are time gated anyways. Emblem domain is also incredibly useful for many, many characters.

Or you could use Dragon's Bane for Hyperbloom but that's a great way to not actually see the cool new 5 star you pooled.

My Raiden uses The Catch. Let us know if you need help with the boss or if you just want to steal our fish. (It takes a while on the 3-day reset.)

Definitely want to farm from the artifact domain in Inazuma. Emblem of Severed Fate is the best all-around set in the game.

6 or 9 weeks from tomorrow, I'm sure. I was contemplating C1 Yelan. Now I dunno. I have 180 wishes saved and I'm about 40 into pity, but getting to 420 (because the 50/50 should be more accurately called the 5.0/95.0) in that time frame isn't too likely. I have been saving my starglitter ever since the Ganyu fiasco back in 1.2, but that's my emergency fund, not something I want to plan around.

That's what I said about Layla.

Although, TBF, it's also what I say about Diona and I use her constantly.

I don't want details, but I'm hoping she's not burgeon/burning focused. Or at least not burning. Burgeon might be okay.

This is funny to me as those are the only characters I would consider getting C1 for. (I have Hu Tao's already.)

I will probably pull to the first 5*. If I lose the 50-50, which I expect, then I'll re-evaluate my life decisions.

I agree, which is why I've never done it outside of Hu Tao. If someone hasn't been playing since launch and is F2P, then I definitely would not advise constellations. I haven't spent anything in over a year, and only welkin/BP before that, but I've been playing long enough that my roster is deep enough for me to care about quality over quantity now.

Sidenote: Genshin was originally projected for a five-year development run. We're basically 2.5 into that (or will be in March, anyway.) So we're almost to the halfway point of the product Mihoyo intended. Given that we're in version 3.x and will be in 6.x by Snezhnaya, they're a smidge behind schedule unless Fontaine and Natlan are really short. Still, it's not too unreasonable to say we're halfway through Genshin's lifespan...until they figure out how to add more content to the end of the existing story, ofc.

I'm sure they're going to drag it out with a Celestia or Abyss map or something eventually.

Plus they have their whole "Hoyoverse" thing now, that's an easy escape route if they just want to keep the money rolling in forever.
