Bear in mind, when the event starts for you, you can't access it through the events menu, you have to go in via the mail or the notices menu Using Diluc's skill 3 times removes two of my water swords just from the grass fire, argh

I gotta say I am super impressed with the devs being responsive and fixing poo poo. It really feels like they care about the game. I am definitely a fan of the frequent "hey here's how we hosed up, now it's fixed, have some gems" thing. And yeah, I know they can afford it with Genshin's success, but still. It makes me hopeful for the future.

I did it, I defeated Floor 3 and got Xiangling. It's a lot to ask, I know but what do I do with her artifacts wise? I have no idea what I should be doing with anyone. Who benefits from Elemental Mastery who it'd be a waste on, etc. I looked through the thread earlier and found out that Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers was a good weapon for Barbara and I was like 'Oh, I've got like 8 of those, lemme give her one and refine it' Oh right, and what are those story missons about? Just a chance to use other characters you might not have unlocked or what? edit: Everyone can't stop talking about the Crescent Pike and I had a spear prototype just sitting around because I didn't have a spear user at all up until now so I already have that.

I'm a little iffy on condensed resin. It halves the number of domains/ley-lines you need to do, but the amount required for the BP weekly hasn't changed. I figure if I use it a bunch I'll just have to run a ton of those things for 0 reward on sunday to fill out the requirements.

RareAcumen posted:I did it, I defeated Floor 3 and got Xiangling. For now, it's enough to know what everyone's key stat is, and just put artifacts on them that improve that stat (either through artifact stats or set bonuses). It's usually easy to figure out what a character's key stat by reading their talent descriptions. For Xiangling (and anyone who does damage by doing their basic attack), it's ATK, so put a bunch of high ATK artifacts on her. Barbara's key stat is HP (if you read the description of her skill and burst, they both key off her max hp), and you don't care about her damage output, so outfit her with HP-granting artifacts and make sure she gets the Adventurer's +1000 HP set bonus. It's pretty straightforward. Elemental Mastery is good for people who do damage with elemental reactions. For example, if your combat strat is to get enemies wet and then apply Pyro to them to do damage with Vaporize, then the person doing the damage is the Pyro character, and they should get EM bonuses. If you do it the other way around (e.g. apply fire with Gouba and then use Mona or Childe or whoever to Vaporize with their Hydro attacks), then the Hydro character is the one doing damage with the reaction, and they're the ones who need EM.

Yeah doing the domain challenge quick isn't a big deal, just hit whatever low-level domain and steamroll through it, it takes longer to zone in and run over to start the fights than to actually kill them all. Leylines are a bit trickier since you either need to plan ahead or actually spend resin, since you can only "beat" four leylines per day without spending anything. It's probably the most annoying of the challenges even if it isn't really hard.

I've been thinking of a party comp from my very lacking character selection. I like playing Chongyun or Kaeya, so I figured I'd try either of those as the main DPS, then Xiangling for applying fire, Qiqi for healing & the fire archer just for getting the +25% attack buff (I don't have other fire characters yet). The firebreath bear + Chongyun gives me plenty of easy melts, reducing ele resist & all attacks from his frost area become elemental. Does this sound workable? I figured going all out on attack for the main DPS is probably the way to go, but I do get a fair amount of melts; would elemental mastery be worth it? Probably not, since it'd sacrifice a ton of atk?

Elemental mastery is strong it's just hard to fit on your artifacts. Most offensive characters want pyro/lightning/physical % on their goblet and crit on their hat and most supports are more interested in energy recharge on their timepiece than EM. There are a few exceptions like Fishl where elemental mastery on timepiece is probably better but there are so few supports that would turn down 50% ult recharge. If your other artifacts haven't rolled you any crit substats and you don't have a crit weapon it might be better to go EM on hat than crit for support units, especially anemos.

For razor you really want to upgrade your highest rarity attack % or physical damage artifacts. Don't worry too much about artifact set bonuses, but you'll want gladiator, sojourner, etc. Crit damage and % is nice but you don't see very much return on that until higher levels where you get a bunch from artifact substats. Freeze with Kaeya, quickly switch to Barbara to active thrilling tales, then switch to Razor to pop his ult which will proc superconductor, and go to town.

How does the Thrilling Tales buff work anyways? It is ONLY for the next character you switch to or does the buff persist for the duration if you swap to yet another character? If it's the former, what if you get the buff on your main DPS, then switch to Fischl to lay down a bird, then go back to your main dps? Does the dps still have it?

It persists for the duration and applies to anyone that switches in during that time. You can see it active by the little rising arrow effect.

The buff is only applied to the first character you switch to. If you switch to a second character during the buff duration, the second character does not have the buff. If you switch back to the first character, they will still have the buff. Madox posted:The arrow effect is still there for the 2nd person to switch in, when I try it

That's been my interpretation but it's weird. I use Qiqi with Atk stats because they boost her healing, Lisa with EM, and Xiangling with physical dps stats. My go-to is to pop Qiqi's cold, swap to Lisa and drop a superconduct, then go to Xiangling to start racking up damage. When I need to break a shield or blow up a group I'll drop her fire bear and swap to Lisa to apply Overload. All of this seems like it should work really well and it leaves me room for a fourth party member to swap around, but in practice I feel like Lisa's reactions do basically nothing in comparison to Xiangling's physical damage. It feels like smacking dudes with a wet noodle. I wish I could find a youtuber who had done some investment and wanted to compare different stat weights on the caster characters.

I find the electric element to be kinda the most disappointing. I loved Lisa's charcter design but other than water slimes, she just isn't that effective. I thought Beidou would be an improvement, but I'm not sure if I'm using her correctly

Elemental reaction damage (that isn't Vaporize or Melt) only care about 2 things, the level of the triggering character and their Elemental Mastery. So if your Lisa is a low level, she won't deal that much damage with overload. To get a general ideal of damage at given levels, Overload's base damage is 375 at level 40. With ~400 Elemental Mastery (+150% damage) you're looking at about 937.5 damage on the target.

I feel like long-term we're going to figure out that elemental mastery is a noob trap and reactions are mostly about setting up CC for your physical carries

The firebreath bear + Chongyun gives me plenty of easy melts, reducing ele resist & all attacks from his frost area become elemental. Does this sound workable? You definitely want to run ATK on your main DPS, who should be Chongyun (best popsicle boi). EM is nice to have, but not at the expense of ATK. The best way to make use of EM on a carry is to have supports grant it to the party via Instructor artifacts and/or have Sucrose. I use both and hit around 300 EM on my Chongyun.  Instructor is still very potent on its own and will make melts do about +20% damage. Note that Instructor's description is mistranslated, and the 120 EM is shared when the equipped character triggers a reaction.I don't really recommend running Amber just to get the pyro resonance, though. You're limiting yourself too much on reactions that way. I'm not sure what level you are, but it sounds like at least 60 judging by what you said about Chongyun's field. At that level, I think you should have access to the Viridescent Venerer set dropped in the Valley of Remembrance domain. It makes anemo characters ridiculously good at supporting DPSers that mainly do one type of elemental damage. It's particularly amazing on Venti and Sucrose, but anemo Traveler can make good use of it too. Finally, pray to get Xingqiu because Chongyun/Xingqiu are an unstoppable powercouple.
