Lynette also looks like a 4*. RIP 5*. RIP them being a two-in-one character.

Should I go ahead and grind for Nilou or wait for Ganyu in the next set?
If youve only been playing for a few months, it will likely be easier for you to obtain all of Ganyus leveling materials. Build her, and she makes a lot of other content pretty darn easy even if you only have a four star bow.

Even better, get Nilou+Kokomi+Nahida and enjoy low effort, low investment Abyss clears.
Ganyu is awkward nowadays and Zhongli gets countered by various enemy types.

Kain would almost definitely have to engage wallet-kun to acquire Nilou and Nahida rn, versus having an opportunity to save for Ganyu now. Im not aware of when Kokomi is running again, either.

Id also note that Ganyu is only awkward if you dislike charged shot gameplay and that itll take an awful lot of work getting three characters up to speed. To be fair, I dont base my pulls on Abyss clears because Abyss gameplay is ass, so theres that.

Yeah, pretty much lol. I feel like I have plenty of characters. I have 3 teams, though only one is my main/preferred one (Childe <3) and so many 4* units are great. It's been pretty easy to just pick an upcoming character months from now that pulls at my heart and just wait.

Yeah, basically. I set my mind to building specific teams, and, with the exception of getting absurdly lucky on Yelan after a one off pull, I have only rolled to fulfill my team comps.

Got Raiden, Ayaka, Shenhe, Yelan and now will be holding until Kazuha / Kokomi appear again.

Once I get those two I'll be holding for hydro archon. After that who knows...

I'd eventually like to put together a dendro team, but it's not super high priority so I'm not rolling for Nahida even tho I know she'd be amazing for my account.

i've been playing long enough that i have most of the 4*s with at least some cons, a bunch with all, so i mainly only need to roll for 5*s i intend to use in a team. before now i've been saving up for months. i was going to roll on dehya's banner, before learning about her kit. then i was going to roll for shenhe/mika, but decided i didn't really need them. i've got plans for both kaveh, and baizhu i've wanted since he first appeared in the game, so i've been looking forward to this upcoming banner.

More or less. If I have no interest in the 5* or 4*s then why wish at all, especially if I have a character that I do like and want some cons for them the next time their banner comes around?

Got most of the characters I want, most at either max cons or a generous amount of cons, and found what teams vibe with me. With that established, wishes mostly serve to just make those teams better.

I think its been covered already, but yeah, thats pretty much it. I was starved for primos when I first started playing, just like you. But sooner or later, they put out banners that you have zero interest in pulling on, and thats where the savings begin.

For reference, I currently have around 45k primos saved up and have just about every character I want, except for Zhongli for some reason. Ive skipped plenty of banners over the last two years

All of 'em. One dailies/friendship team, one exploration team, then several dedicated to various teams. Right now there's Kokomi hyperbloom, Kokomi overvape w/Dehya, Burnmelt Ganyu, Ayato vape w/Dehya, Heizou EC + Shieldfei, Eula/Raiden, Nilou bloom and Alhaitham quicken.

6.

My "main" team that I rotate based on my mood and what I'm encountering.
My friendship team.
My "exploration" team for mining and treasure hunting.
My "Traveler" team for story based content.
My "national" team of XQ, XL, Benny, and whoever.

Slot 6 is just for when I want to make a quick team but be able to switch back to the main team right away.

Is that how network connections work? A game company can take bandwidth away from one of their games and give it to another one?

That's not necessarily how it works. Hosting GaaS is much more complicated than it sounds, it isn't just 1 component, it's many small components working together. So some parts of the whole may overlap (especially stuff outside the game itself, like player authentication and file server for updates) and there are definitely ways of balancing or prioritizing traffic to deal with the extremely high load during the first day of a GaaS.

I'm still very much on the fence about Baizhu. On the one hand, I really need another Dendro unit because all I have right now is Collei and the Traveler, which makes both Cyno and Nilou cry. On the other hand, I need to see how good he is at application before I drop primos on the guy.

so what's the fastest way to get exp books?

I'm at the point where its actually taking a few to level up my characters and I only have like 5o purples after having like 150 a few days ago. Is it just doing the leylines over and over?

Events give a bunch for free usually so make sure to always do them. They also give you primo gems and all sorts of other mats.

Other than events, you can spend your daily resin on the blue leylines for fast exp books asap, or just find them scattered from quests, chests, etc which is a bit slower but they stack up over time. you'll probably find yourself cash limited though

Kain_Highwind posted...

it depends on the character really. for supports type characters (shielders, healers, buffers etc), levelling up the character is generally good (specifically their abilities which can also individually be levelled). for carries, a balance is good but late game most of their power will come from artifacts

early on IMO you should try and balance it a bit since you get a lot of early stats for minimal EXP for all 3 of character levels, weapon levels and artifact levels. the higher the level, the more exp and money it costs. but lower levels still give a lot of stats despite being cheaper and less exp needed

The best way to get XP books, IMHO, is to get your teapot leveled up to the point where you're able to buy books every week. Once you reach this point, you buy them every week whether you need them or not, because teapot currency serves no purpose other than for buying the fragile resin and the XP materials.
The second best way is to wait for a double leyline buff.
Otherwise, if you're really strapped for books, leylines are it.

Overall, weapon levels probably. Assuming you have the right weapons. They give you the biggest boost by far relative to the time and resources required.

Artifacts can do more than weapons but it takes a long time to get a good set.

Leveling up your character by itself doesn't do all that much but combined with raising your talent levels it can make a huge difference.

Books get a lot better once you're higher adventure level and leylines can give around 20 a day, and I just do that on days I'm not building characters. So by the time I have some units to build, like my freeze team, I didn't have to stress over the books.

But LOL. I just finished today's event and this might be my favorite one yet, even over the first fungus one. It was just pure chaotic fun and I lost count of how many times I was legitimately laughing. Mini-games are good, too.

from his c2 description:

When your own active character hits a nearby opponent with their attacks, Baizhu will unleash a Gossamer Sprite: Splice.
Gossamer Sprite: Splice will initiate 1 attack before returning, dealing 300% of Baizhus ATK as Dendro DMG and healing for 20% of Universal Diagnosiss Gossamer Sprites normal healing.
DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
This effect can be triggered once every 6s.
