What did the trick for me was the tip from this thread to immediately dash back to the entrance so only 2 mages aggro, that makes it manageable.

Did that. Got the ice+fire mage, but just get stomped due to any downed mage becoming an instant focus point for near-instant-death mist and/or fire. If I could swirl them up with Sucrose or facetank through damage with Benny long enough to actually kill one then it's a snowball from there.

If you just head to the right side you can aggro only the fire and ice Mages unless you wander into the middle, you want to kill the fire dude first due to the aura then wait for the ice mage to tele to you so you don’t fight it and the water mage. Faster you can kill the fire mage the easier it gets, bring barb or some other hydro to drop his shield then blow all your offensive bursts.

That's pretty much the worst artifact domain by far in any case. I think I'm at like a 30% success rate at best in co-op. If you're doing it solo definitely try to bring a Fire/Ice/Water/<whatever> party so you can deal with their shields quickly, breaking them quickly is not only the only way to kill the fuckers but having the shield down keeps them from using their most bullshit tricks.

I respect that person with friendship level 10 Amber.

And I thought I was the only one...

Hilariously, Amber will probably be my first 10th level friendship character since I almost always have her hanging out in slot 4 for ranged support given that my other two ranged (Diona/Fishcl) aren't leveled yet. This is mostly because I have those two elements covered by Qiqi/Razor. Just wish I had another water character that wasn't Barbara... :sigh:


Also, I just got the Hilichurl poetry quest today as a daily commission. Bringing that up because someone mentioned that they had never seen it. However, it seems to reference the previous Hilichurl quest, so I think you have to have done that at least once (I ended up doing two different versions of it?) before it randomly pops up.

the biggest things for me in Noblesse are holding some of my initial bursts so i can iframe through the fireball (or ice), and using what time the ice is bearable to knock enemies out of it. Bennett can't fully outheal it but does give some nice breathing room, you can usually get a safe spot in his circle to dance in and out of. Dionab should also be great there.

Downed the Noblesse domain with maximum food usage and suiciding Diluc to get the fire mage dead. A lot of people scream about Diluc/Klee but the domains (and higher abyss floors, I assume) kind of shine a spotlight on how big the dividing line is when you have Venti.

I have 74 pulls, 40 to my soft pity, two characters to get, seven hours until the patch, it's dark, and I'm preloading.

Pro is an amazing name!
I run most domains with Diluc/Chong/XQ/Barbara, and the Noblesse Oblige domain is fairly easy for me. As long as you use the trick to break the water mage's aggro, it's pretty easy to punk the ice mage quickly. Then it's just the two remaining mages one at a time.

As long as I can shatter two of the mages shields I can use Jean to CC and kill them before they reapply their shields. They take a lot of fall damage, problem is having to deal with all the bullshit they can still do while CCed.

You should be bringing Barbara. If you go right the water mage won't aggro so you just pop the fire shield asap and kill the fire mage before his aura becomes a problem. From there it's pretty easy. I have Tartaglia so it's extra easy.

Venti can shieldbreak via swirl but his burst doesn't pull in shielded enemies so you've got to do more stupid coordination of enemies than a team with standard shieldbreakers. basically i don't think it's anywhere near make or break, especially if your other option is like, a Witch Diluc who can absolutely paste any mage out of shield as long as you're setting up vape/melt with him.

Okay, I'll bite. For some reason my battle pass icon has disappeared. Is this a known bug or did I miss something in the patch notes?

Overall given the level of apparent polish on Genshin Impact the really weird system level bugs bother me a lot. I get the but where your XB1 controller shuts down and won't restart, though it seems to happen less frequently after this latest round of patches. I also really hate the constant need to switch from keyboard to controller when I boot the game and I really, REALLY hate the 'B' button confirmation scheme on the controller. The control scheme in general is baffling. Sometimes B confirms, sometimes X, sometimes Y. I'm sure it's been bitched about before in thread.

That being said I play it for 60m a day so....

EDIT: I guess the current BP period ended? I have trouble getting the thing above level 40 or so during a given period.

The BP icon disappears when the game is between battle passes. It'll be back when the new pass starts.

Razor is the best physical damage dealer in the game and that doesn't really change. He is a bit boring tho.

I don't even think he's that boring. He can clear 12-3 etc and is a good character but for extreme late game things like 9 starring floor 11/12 it's harder because your other characters' cooldowns are going to waste while he's on the field for 12 seconds during his ult.

You can finish the BP with lots of time left over if you do all of it, which isn't that hard if you are logging in daily.

Here's my daily rotation:

Comissions
4x leylines (don't turn in if you are spending resin on domains/bosses)
3x domains (I'll actually run 9 domains if i'm spending resin on it, if not I only run 3 and I don't turn in)
2x bosses (don't spend resin etc etc)
Ores

This takes me about an hour each day. With the event BP I got to BP 50 with two weeks left to spare.

Domains you can just do the first three spiral abyss floors if you're really not doing any others. Finishing the first three floors counts as 9 domains.

Bosses you can just do pyro or cryo regisvine, fight can take less than 30 seconds.

Liyue and Mondstadt specialties you'll probably finish on your own but you can get each one down to 20 minutes if you really want to finish them day 1.

The most time consuming is the leylines but you probably won't even need to do those to reach the weekly cap.

This seems super unreliable to me.
2 times out of 3 I just get two of the mages to teleport to me and the last one hangs out of range.

Standing in the back corner to lure out the fire+ice ones seems 100% consistent so far though. And it's usually pretty safe, except when the fire mage's dumb fire aura thing decides to go off while he's on the ground and stunlocked and you lose 70% hp from your point character.

I specifically don't do leylines any given week and easily hit the 10k cap. Specialties are easy if you are 1) an impulsive picker upper or 2) look up a route. I think you can do the monstadt one in like 7 minutes between asterwheels and valberries and the Liuye is only slightly longer, but still pretty chill.

I maxed out the battle pass without doing any of this dumb stuff to grind specifically for bp exp.
It looked like it would be a tight margin on the very first one but now they give you 10-15 levels worth of exp from event-related battlepass goals and you can basically ignore the bp and still get it to 50 if you're logging in every day.

Yeah, I haven't found yet if there's a sweet spot to getting them all bunched up consistently. But I figure if two can be done reliably, there's gotta be a way to do all three right? In any case, when it does work out, it sure is satisfying.

Once or twice a week i'd spend an hour running around and collecting some mats I need for ascension, but never any specific "i'm farming for BP points today"
