I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
diluc/fischl/ningguang/jean is basically an infinite energy machine in this event so i have been doing almost nothing except bursting and then switching to the next character to skill/burst in a loop until everything is dead

The hardest meteorite for me, and the only one where I caved and did it on a lower difficulty after repeated failures with multiple team comps, was in Mondstadt. Because it was, like, ten Treasure Hoarders at once, two-three of the "leaders" running in to dropkick me in the face while the rest chucked fire and electric bottles and triggered constant overloads (not even on me; the lingering patches from their attacks seemed to interact with each other) to toss me around even more. It was agony.

This event has been pretty easy for me otherwise, but that one meteorite, wow. That was the worst.

Huh, that's the one I have the least trouble with. They're all light enough to be caught in Gust Surge, so with proper positioning I can hit 'em all at once and move them far, far away while I whittle down the 2-3 new ones that spawn to replace any that die in the burst.

The ranged ones also say a voiceline before they throw, making them much easier to dodge than hilichurl archers. They move into the circle if you run to the opposite side, too, so ranged characters aren't required to deal with them.

turns out there is a meteor with 1x Agent+2x Treasure Hoarder bottle throwers

mostly ended up annoying since they throw fire and the meteor pulses electric, so you get that lovely "why the hell are reactions proccing on me" moment unless you run Jean i guess

I'm surprised by how hard they made the meteors. I'm AR45 and Tartaglia+Fischl are two of my leveled characters so it should be easy as hell but some of these are still messed up on mobile (hydrogunner+lightning guy specifically).

I think a lot of the annoyance would be fixed if they showed what enemies would spawn before the fight started because fatui demand hard counters.

The top level fatui heavy spawns are definitely my hardest fights too with having to fight in the tiny circle + the mixed comps due to no hard idea what will spawn.. Cryo + lightning gets pretty rough and poor Xiangling has to put in a lot of work as my only decent fire character.

What's real fun is when you get smacked outside the circle and then frozen. :shepface:

Or better yet if you die the game counts the circle as unoccupied while the character fades out before it switches to someone else.

Treasure Hoarders are usually easy for me too; this one was weird in that it was twice the normal amount. Like, I counted; compared to the Treasure Hoarder one I just completed now, it was about two times as many, at the same difficulty level.

The elemental pulse being Pyro didn't help either.

I’ve given up doing them at 75 or whatever. It ain’t worth the trouble and there’s still plenty of time to finish the event.

classic banner problems of getting the fewest, if any, copies of the 4* you actually want. Noelle was taking all the Sucrose/Xingqiu constellation slots last banner and Ningguang was doing it for Diona this one, it really does make me wish they had rotating rateup banners but of course, $$$

You can do so much better writing when you don't have to voice all your NPCs, it's great. Not everyone's Square Enix and able to put half a billion into voice acting alone.

Ningguang is very handy for this. I think that tier lists are understating the usefulness of defensive abilities, since "not getting knocked around/interrupted" practically translates to extra DPS (and generally less time spent since you don't need to heal as much).

Yeah I tried using her but she's only level 20 and her shield wall immediately gets broken with a single 5 arrow shot one hillichurl hits it with. It's just trial and error whether or not I can beat those lvl55 challenges, the lvl 45 ones are no trouble but the rewards are better so you know how it is.

Is there a way to grind companionship EXP? I have pretty much never used Noelle or Lisa so their stories are never gonna unlock if this doesn't change.

You can stand next to a spawn location for random events and log in and out to make sure you get your 10x daily limit. That's only an extra 100exp though.

I like this game way more than I expected to. My only complaints are that the game should have a better way to swap between parties because doing like 4 menus to burn a common chest open is irritating, and that "entity has timed out and disappeared" is the worst error message and i hate it. ill never know what the entity was and you just made me sad about it

the wiki is missing that it's used to make the newly-added portable stove, but that's it unless Mondstadt has another reputation reward that uses some. regardless of what uses they add for it you will probably always spend it at the blacksmith though.

I love that no matter what region I pick, I get 200+ ping. You'd think the Asia servers would be at least tolerable from Australia but hilariously, the America servers ping at ~200 while asia pings 350-400. Makes some things about the game a real pain in the arse, like the aforementioned entity messages, stamina recharge being delayed and just general lag with character switching and stuff.

But you are correct that Genshin targets a broader audience so it is in their interest to keep things more simplified and streamlined.

Dorm banner has a guaranteed S-rank at 25 rolls, so I only rolled up until that point.

This event gives a wonderful amount of Mora. I got ~900k from just 160 resin worth (I think there's 2.5M total, which I think is roughly the same amount you get from the paid Battle Pass). I'm actually pretty close to clearing out the shop (I only have Mora left); I'll probably clear it out part-way through the day after tomorrow.

Yeah, several days later I'm still in disbelief at getting Keqing from a single roll. Rates being so immensely lovely in this make it feel like a miracle if you get a non-pity 5* on a single roll. It'll be a while until I can make her viable, though, since I'm obviously using all my resin on this event.

As long as you don't get Childe, your pity will count towards Zhongli. It's a good idea to check the number of pulls you did in your History tab, so you can make sure your likely pity 5* (somewhere between pulls 75 and 90) falls on the banner you want.
