Just to offer an opposing view here, if you have a strong party with the event damage up characters then you should be able to easily clear it solo in 3-4 minutes. Whereas co-op can be slightly faster, but can also give you a party of monkeys. I ended up finding it easier to go solo but YMMV.

That's fair, the only damage up character I have that's maxed out is Fischl, and I'm too lazy to kit her out for DPS rather than support. With Diluc, it was real slow clearing each loop.

Geo can shatter so the idea would probably be to run XQ, Diona and or Chong with Zhongli to improve the damage.

Probably wont hit as hard as Diluc Chong melt comp but you get the added benefit of the damage bypassing resistances and the geo shields giving you extra heft

Keqing doesn't trigger electric reactions often because she applies the element so fast, so she doesn't get benefit from the thundering fury 4pc. The thundering fury 4pc instead is basically a 35% damage boost to all of your damage. That will probably provide a bigger damage boost than 2pc TF and 2pc gladiator unless you have absurdly low amounts of atk% damage boosts and incredibly high amounts of damage% boosts.

Also the 2pc bonus from Thundersoother is really nice for whenever you're fighting in water / rain / against Cicins. Not as great as extra damage, but can help maintain longer DPS.

With only those characters, and no other options? Keqing/Fischl/Mona/Bennet. I mean always bet on Bennet, because Bennet, but also Barbara brings heals and wet and nothing else. You don't really need wet, and Bennet would give you good Vaporize/Overload opportunities.

Someone help, I feel like I don't "get" Diona, which is a problem I don't really have with any other character. Like her kit seems kind of weird and I don't really get how you're supposed to use her. Yet in my quest to get Ningguang dupes on this banner I got one of those and seven Dionas so I figure I should at least give her a try.

C6 diona is bad rear end but really cries for a fire carry. I would even try out Bennett (tho that may only be worth it floor 12)

All there is to her is stacking as much energy recharge as possible and charging her ult with E holds every 15 seconds. Putting a crit rate helm on her with favonious warbow is great because her E crits will build energy, sac bow is good too if you have it. So you just want to use her ult every thirty seconds or so and ideally get some melt off of it. You'll get shields while you're doing this.

She's still like fine even in a comp that doesnt care about cryo she's just a healer in that case.

Hmm, ok. I'm still experimenting with my second team's roster, but it's currently something like Diluc/Fish/Barbara/? where I've been trying to figure out who to stick in the last slot, so maybe she'll fit in there.

A bunch of units like Diona and XQ sort of need sacrificial weapons to really go from ok to great. Diona has the same behavior with the bow, her E shots all have an independent chance of triggering it the cooldown reset so they always reset when you charge shot. Shooting twice will fill up your bar pretty quickly as long as you have a bit of energy recharge. So you have near constant access to her field.

For fights against ice mobs where your field isnt as important you can stagger the charged Es to maximize the effect of the shield. It can tank a lot as long as diona has some health.

I actually have a Sacrificial Bow and a Favonius Warbow(refine 2) so maybe this will work out after all :woop:

How did I get here?
I just wish Diona's heals ticked a little faster. I find myself having to pause sometimes if I'm trying to heal someone particular. I would love to get her C6, but I got C6 Ningguang off this banner, so I can't complain. I think Diona's C6 + a geared Sucrose would be a lot of fun.

Would having Jean and Bennett in the same team be overkill for healing? I want to try out a completely different set of characters once I've finished levelling Childe up to become my other dps carry, and I figure Jean could work to do damage while he's on cooldown

dogsicle
Oct 23, 2012

it seems like redundant since you could just run a Childe/Bennett team where both are built as carries and they have better elemental synergy than a Jean you'd also be building as carry.

Btw, helpful tip for people annnoyed by the birds during the Oceanid fight - if you have Ningguang, she trivializes those. Crystallize shields allow her to completely tank the birds' dives (I guess because they're elemental damage), and her attacks obviously hit the birds easily.

edit: Also, people asked how it's possible to hit the weekly BP cap, and I actually hit it this week. I believe it can occur if you complete some of the BP-length objectives in addition to everything else. I ended up having no reason to complete the Domain weekly objective.

That only happens if you teleport to the pin, you can do a charge attack to keep your damage physical.

I am now at a point where I almost wish I could get a purple weapon. I got two purple greatswords that are both outclassed by Aminus and then a favonius bow and a purple book. It's rough.

I've got the bow on Childe and the Aminus on Baedou so it's not TOO bad but ugh I could use a Rust.

Can you pull weapons on the character banner? Weapon banner seems like a trap, but I'm thirsty for some decent weapons.

Damnit I want to start running a Childe/Beidou/Diona/XQ team but I cannot pull a 4* bow to save my life. Fish has my only 4* (favonious) and she needs it for my Diluc/XL/Fish/Jean team.

Seriously game, the hell do I need four Rainslashers for??

Also, how bad was the nerfed 1.1 story boss fight before the nerf? Cause I did it yesterday and it took me around 45 seconds to complete.

I can't say I'm a fan of this leg of the event. Losing ALL your stored energy when you get hit by a stray arrow when trying to channel for 5 seconds is awful. At WL6 in co-op enemies have so much hp that it's just a chore and feels bad. Still clearing in like 4-5mins but I'm not really enjoying myself. Going to just do this part slowly.

The monthly (or 40 day-ly, whatever) objectives don't count for your weekly limit. But if you do all your dailies and all of your weeklies, you will get 10,860 BP, which is 860 over the limit.

Good news, that's going to be the deal every week (or you can pick a different objective you don't like, and/or slack off with a couple of dailies). You get 860 BP worth of slack for maxing out the weekly limit.

just did my second Fading Star and Venti / Venti / Childe / Diluc is a dumb, dumb, dumb comp. mechanically, three archers and one fuckoff huge fire greatsword; functionally, two drunken bards one consummate pot-stirrer and the owner of the local tavern and winery

we made it, but I (1700atk Childe with +60% dmg) died three times and I hope to rex lapis I don't get a triple-archer comp next time. took six and a half minutes for Diluc to make his way between swirls while I waited on melee cooldown so I could burst the next shielded mob

Is there another way to increase adventurererer rank than just a) using resin b) dailies c) exploring? Like, outside of world exploration, there's only so much rank you can gain per day? I'm at 29 and it just feels slow.
Quests are kinda baked in to the system already, since they only unlock at specific AR levels anyway.

Also I'm running tartag/beidou/diona/???? but I'm having trouble finding a 4th that I like, and I dont wanna invest too heavily in a million different chars to try them out.
Options for the slot are fishl, kequing, razor, xingqiu, ningguang, barbara, + the free ones. Any ~~~meta~~~ recommendations?
