No Wave posted:This week's abyss buff is another stupid geo thing (deal dmg when your shield is hit). Isnt it fun to have the character banners, weapon banners, and abyss buffs monopolized by a single element for two months. Do they change in the middle of the month? I thought the last two lasted the whole month. Anyway, I kind of like having a buff that does almost nothing for me, so I know what my baseline is. And at least it does nothing for Pyro.

It doesn't seem like mihoyo is interested in going crazy with that.

The only other gacha I play is FFRK where for sources of power other than gacha they normally kind of trickle it in at first then later end up spraying enough resources at you that you don't really need to worry about running out

GBF uses 5* uncaps to bring powercrept units up to current meta or as soft reworks, and it tends to work out pretty well. the current level cap being 90, I would not be surprised at all if an additional tier of ascensions were planned for somewhere in the far future.

FGO also does massive rebalances where launch units are quite literally the best units again. I wouldn't be surprised if Mihoyo uses continuing stories of character quests as excuses for "Power-ups" like Childe finally learning to use his bow or Zhong regaining his powers if you beat a certain portion of the main story years from now.

Finally managed to 9 start floors 9-11 and get 6 stars on floor 12, just 5 hours before reset. The teams that carried me throughout most of the floors are venti xiangling childe jean and ning fish mona bennet. Had to reset several runs after getting 3 stars on first two chambers to swap in a lvl 20 keya to deal with electro shielded fatui. Getting 3 stars on floor 12 chamber 1 was such a nightmare and took so many restarts that I honestly skip it until I get another pyro character, It's not worth the 50 primogems. I really hope the layout and enemy compositions will start to change eventually because right now I'm really tired of chasing cryoslymes. But considering they about to release several more cryo enemies, any new abyss iteration will be even more favorable to pyro...

Just release Alice already so we can have two generations of explosion gremlins decimating floor 12.

I am half expecting Alice to show up as a Harbinger, thus leading to a "What if Klee, but as a boss fight?" situation.

Another way gachas can add grind is alternate progression systems. Everyone starts off on the same footing because the mechanic never existed before, so no possibility of stockpiling materials, etc. Just make the power level granted by the new progression somewhat ahead of the curve of existing progression so everyone feels like they have to do it to catch up while new players get eased into it and thus a higher baseline of power than people who leveled up when the mechanic didn't exist. Don't know if Mihoyo has done this or ever would do this, but it is another way they can maintain longevity without leaving people hopelessly behind. It'll suck, but that's not the reason they'd do it.

i got childe with favonius bow and keqing with lions roar. would the bp sword or bow be a better investment, as these are my two main carries?

Favonious Bow is much worse for Tartaglia than Lion's Roar is for Keqing. If you plan on picking up BP sword in another BP later I'd go for the bow, it solves the bigger problem right now. The only complicating factor is the sword is somewhat better in a vacuum, meaning it is likely to take longer to power creep (though both should be good for quite a while).

black sword is great always but if you have to choose between it and something else, let me ask: do you have two good healers? if not, black sword can carry keqing in abyss in your healer-less team.

I have black sword on Keqing and I could never make it through floor 10/11/12 without a healer unless I was crazy overleveled. There's just no way. Healers are op af in this game, you need them (unless you're a speedrunner... and even they run jean/bennett).

Ok, so hear me out. Cryo set could be as good as Kaeya or better on Anemo MC:

I think the logic behind Kaeya is he fills in all the gaps that Chongyun leaves. Traveler is going to have issues with Freeze uptime. It's not the worst idea or anything, though, as long as they have a Cryo cup.

It's also currently not important to grind much to see any of the actual exploring or story content, which is presumably what a lot of people like, it's more there to keep people logging in between story patches if they're into that. So since there's no PvP or anything there's not a huge "falling behind" concern since if your WL is going up, you're getting stuff to make you stronger, and if it's not, you don't need to be to engage the way you like. Of course that could change, but for now it feels like the number-go-up stuff is really grindy, but also only important if you care deeply about number going up, and not if you just care about checking out the cool world.

Which is how FGO does it. There's nothing that requires more than basic 3 stars, but it's still the most profitable gacha for the last half decade because of character writing.

Pro-tip for those who do artifact runs or check for the Wei on top of Stone Gate: https://i.imgur.com/N7O25wW.mp4 Getting the one to the east is still kind of annoying (less so you have Venti and Zhongli  ), but if you don't mind a little climbing then it can free up your portable waypoint for other spots like crab island.
