padijun posted:mostly whether to make the black sword better or take the viridescent hunt. I have venti, childe, and fischl, and a r2 sacrificial and r3 favonius. jean is using the black sword. Imo it's always better to get a weapon you need then refine one. Especially in this case because the jump from Bp bow to favonious is gigantic for childe.

The BP weapon selection kind of confuses me. Specifically - would Viridescent Hunt (instead of Rust) make C0 Childe a monster and therefore is good, or should I just get the Black Sword and wait for a sword character to stick it on?

Refining is a scam until you have way too many weapons. You're making your weapon 3% better, which is not an amount that matters compared to the rate of progression everyone is still experiencing.

depending on who is doing the math, hunt seems to be either a bit better or a bit worse than rust (at r0)

Current math has Childe's best weapons as Skyward Harp>R5 Rust>Amos>Viridescent=Rust. If you don't have a rust, then get the BP bow. The grouping is also really convenient for him because all of his value comes from the stupid amount of AoE he gets to do, which is made easier with the Hunt's passive.

Hunt is also I think support Fischl's second best 4* bow (more or less tied with Blackcliff Warbow). It's a distant second but it's still pretty good. There are so many bow users and the craftables suck so much that I think a lot of people will be picking it this time around.

The main story was fine because I was interested in it. Even honkai impact's events can be super hit or miss, but there's always a "skip" button you can click if you're not into it and just avoid the dialogue or cutscenes. But in this game they don't even let you mash through the dialogue, you have to wait for each single dialogue box to slowly go through.

If I do end up pulling for Zhongli, I think his weapon banner might be the first I actually pull for. There are not enough mats to level the characters at a decent rate and it's not like having a 12th strong character is going to improve my team more than stronger weapons.

Does elemental resistance just affect damage taken by that element? I got C4 Ningguang with my roll today, so I now get a 10% resistance with the jade screen or something.Lechtansi posted:If this is reference to my post, I didn't meant to say 200 hours of storyline content. I meant 200 hours of questing + exploring. It took me maybe 50 hours to get through the whole story start to finish, including exploring for chests, doing domains, fighting bosses, etc. You can't just burn through the storyline anyways, it has AR requirements that you can only get to if you do side stuff as well. At its the core basically maintains mobile gacha game conventions that expect you to play a little every day. I'm sort of mixed on the concept. On one hand, it's kind of dumb to have to regularly log into the game to progress, but on the other hand it's kind of nice having a strict cut-off for daily grinding where there isn't much of a motive to continue beyond that. Sirbloody posted:I sometimes hate this game. Even though I already have x1 Childe I been pulling on the banner to attempt to get my Ningguang to C6 (She is C5 so I figured it wouldn't be that hard) since I was so far from the next 5* pity. 24 pulls in I got my Ningguang to C5 10 pulls later I got a C1 Diona and now because my son insisted I had enough gems for another roll.... C1 Childe. I guess I REALLY need to make a team for him now (Shame I just have the Amos bow for him but better than nothing), and here I was trying to build up my pity to see if I want to pull on the Zhongli banner. On the upside Childe's contellations seem more useful than most other early 5* constellations. That's part of the reasoning behind me continuing to do single rolls on the banner (and risking hitting Childe with my next pity before the Zhongli banner, though that's really doubtful).

Seems that way. In addition to Dragonspine, there's indications that the Thousand Winds Temple in Mondstat might open up at some point. In Liyue, there's the interior of Sal Terrae (which people have already figured out how to glitch into), the Chasm, and whatever's going on with the sealed god in Nantianmen. Hard to say how many of them will open up between now and the Inazuma release. It'd make sense for them to keep some of the ones I listed in reserve so that we have events from multiple regions during the lull between Inazuma and Sumeru, though.

One nice thing about Viridescent Hunt for Childe is you're getting most of the benefit with just the base weapon. With Rust at r5 refinement the boost to normal attacks is doubled, 80% vs 40% on a r1. Viridescent Hunt r5 just drops the cooldown on the cyclone proc from 14s to 10s: you'll very likely be swapping Childe out long enough for the cooldown to expire. It also doubles the damage of the cyclone, which is nice but not what you're using it for (The white numbers in this video are the damage from the cyclone, it's not nothing but it's pretty small next to the damage Childe is doing with his cascading splashes)

I'm increasingly convinced the favonious weapons are all insane. I'm tempted to just level a second favonious warbow so Venti and Diona can both use it (alternative is a sac bow). Xiangling already has a favonious lance, I'd just need a favonious sword for Bennett.

There's only been one favonious weapon on a banner so far (lance). I can still dream of a full favonious weapon banner. Each time it goes off - and it can go off once every 12 seconds at r0 - your leading character gets 6 energy and your team gets 3.6 energy, meaning you're roughly getting 17 free energy every 15 seconds per fav weapon you have. Even crazier is that this amount gets multiplied by energy recharge. The net effect ends up huge, especially as the favonious weapons themselves give energy recharge. Ideally at least half of each of my teams would carry one of these... idk i might get baited hard by the next weapon banner if a few of these are on it.

If I'm looking to kit out support Fischl and I've got a Favonius Warbow, is it worth getting a Viridescent Hunt for her instead? Energy recharge seems preferable to crit rate if she's just dropping Oz

The downside of favonious warbow specifically is it has terrible base ATK. It has 400 base ATK at level 80 whereas Viridescent Hunt has 450 (and Sacrificial bow has 500!). I don't find energy recharge particularly impactful on her and crit is very nice on her but... the fav bow orb passive is so good. I don't even know anymore.

My Kaeya already has a ton of energy recharge, so it'll be interesting to see how much faster this makes everyone's bursts fill up.

No Wave posted:Keep in mind - you have to build crit on any favonious carrier to use the passive reliably. You want to crit off of your support abilities (which is why it's so good with Diona as she fires five blocks) to make it work so you'll need a good amount for anyone carrying one. This can be rather expensive to get a lot of usage out of for a lot of characters for a while if their abilities only hit once (getting Kaeya to 50% crit is not cheap!). It's still going to be better than Cool Steel, though.

It sucks when you're doing the Stormterror fight and when it starts the phase where you have to leave the platforms he suddenly does a cutscene while you're flying from platform to platform. When that happens, it apparently stops your forward momentum while you continue gliding, so by the time the short cutscene is over you've fall between the platforms. Stormterror also started glitching a bunch recently where I'll run up to him and end up inside of his neck.

I haven't tested it. I don't think any weapon's passive ability works while you're off the field though (I do know that Sac bow will only trigger if Fischl is on the field when Oz is out) so I suspect that it wouldn't.

I made the mistake of running the talent domain to boost Bennett before realizing when I hit the ascension 4 wall that I now have three pyro characters competing for crystals factoring in Klee and Xiangling. At least running pyrovine every day is gonna be a welcome change from putting off oceanid and never getting XQ or Barb past 40
