To be clear like 30 seconds of that is running around the bubble slowly, 30 seconds is breaking the first corolla and doing half to it, and then 3 minutes is waiting out the blizzard phases and also running around in circles doing nothing any time it does the spin move that puts icy ground under itself, while slowly chipping at it for like 100 damage per hit hoping I'm breaking a shield eventually to finish it off.

Just saying it again for the people in the back, Amber is great here because she is a bow user with fire. Elements shred shields so this is very good. It's not at all based on your level, atk, or artifact set up. This is also why people suggest bringing Noelle along to help with the Geo Hypostasis boss, because a greatsword is a greatsword, she'll destroy them faster than non-greatsword people.

Also, on that topic, how does Klee do against them, since all of her attacks are explosions?

Lol I stopped rolling after Albedo and C5 Fischl in case she was in the shop on the rotation, guess that's pretty ideal.

Fischl would be at c5 with the shop constellation. Not bad, probably worth it even though I rate c5 as mostly not that useful

hitbutton on discord noticed that if you stay in the same co-op session (that is, you don't go back to singleplayer mode after each clear) and use a few quartzes each fight, you eventually get it. It seems to be 10 quartzes in the same co-op session, not 10 quartzes in the same fight. Not sure if it's a bug or not. I confirmed that it works myself though.

I don't think this is my issue, unless it needs to be co-op instead of solo. I never left the multiplayer solo instance and had to have done it over 10 times, I did it over 10 times in one fight. Do you need to win for it to count?

Sucrose's C1 is even more important than Bennett's C1, and Fischl's C2 is a really big deal. I think this banner is worth rolling on a lot (I've used 120 rolls so far all saved from BP+Welkin+gameplay).

I got C3 Bennett and C1 Sucrose from this banner by the time I pulled Albedo so I'm happy.

I wonder who's gonna be on the Ganyu banner since we've cycled through all the 4*s at least once by now. Well technically. They haven't trolled us with Amber, Lisa, or Kaeya yet. :unsmigghh:

Yeah, but I've only got 17 potential rolls since I spent basically everything on the last banner trying to get Choungyun for the first time. I'm just going to wait for him to show up in the shop instead of rolling like crazy for his next constellation. Fischl makes me nervous because her and Ningguang are just out for my blood, she's at C3 and Fischl's at C4 they just keep showing up. I just don't have her built as anything but a support. She's still only at level 50 since I'm doing artifact grinding right now. :v:

My spouse just started playing this game about a week ago and he's at WL2 and it turns out you get rewards based on your world level even if you do it at a lower one. (Was the same for the meteorite event.)

We have a group of friends who all play and we just took turns invading his world and the cryovine is a total joke with a bunch of 70-90s in WL2.

For what it's worth C6 Fischl is the most sought after constellation in the game. If you hit Fischl you could even buy her from the shop to finish it off.

I did it a bunch of times solo without leaving the weird solo co-op multiplayer instance you're in between runs and got it after maybe 4 runs where I used a few quartzes in each run. You may have to win for it to count but I don't know. Don't know if a wipe breaks the streak either.

Huh, that was easier than I thought it'd be reading you guys' posts. First run took about three minutes, using 80/80 Xiangling, 60/60 Albedo, 40/40 Amber, and 60/70 Bennett. I buffed up with food and an anti-Cryo potion beforehand, though.

The corolla phase does seem like it could turn nasty really easily if you don't have Amber or don't grab the shield in time, though.

Oh. Well okay, knowing that I did a 10 pull on the banner and got Sucrose's C1. In the future, I won't bemoan seeing Fischl showing up anymore.

And on the non event banner I got her again. And Ningguang. Oh hey, Diluc joins the party!

He's fantastic, but he's a support character and will not properly show off his power without a good team to take advantage of him.

Somehow I'm much less upset about my last two character pulls being Fischl C2+C3. Hoping I can score at least two more before the banner rotates to guarantee C6. What a banner+store combo

Ultima Ratio Regum
Xingqiu is important for a few reasons:
  • He's Hydro, which is hard to get outside of Barbara (who can only really splash down shields most of the time) and two five stars, one of them limited.
  • He offers damage resistance and a small amount of healing with his rain swords. Healing's not huge but it helps top people off when running with Bennett, the real treat is the damage resistance which is a pretty rare stat to get and it can really help out.
  • His E generates a lot of Hydro particles and if he uses Sacrificial Sword it can basically instantly refill his Burst if he has enough Energy Recharge, allowing him to keep his Burst up a lot. Also if you have a certain constellation the E does a ton of damage while his Burst is active, allowing you to Q and then E twice at some point to refill his gauge and do a big chunk of damage.
  • His Burst does an enormous amount of damage over time (it's hard to tell from the sheet but it does) and is fast enough at applying Hydro that it makes an excellent aura-setter for big dick Vaporizes from Diluc/Klee/Bennett, or you can use it with Chongyun/Kaeya to set up a permanent Freeze on enemies as long as the Burst lasts.
He's great as a defensive support and chip damage healer, he's great as an offensive support and Hydro setter for Vaporize or Freeze. About the only thing he's bad at is melee damage gap-filling, his melee just isn't worth it to bother with. He also sets Wet status on the party when he uses his E, but unlike Barbara's it drops off and then doesn't get reapplied. Still risky sometimes though so keep it in mind.

This is really good advice. Amber can focus on the eye-shield and her ult stuns it easily at the right times.

Xingqiu good. Mine has only 7% in ATK% because I haven't gotten around to leveling his clock yet, but he still deals ~800 damage minimum with each of the swords in his burst (on garden-variety hilichurls at WL6). It's a nice extra chunk of damage going on in the background, even without considering how useful the strong Hydro procs are.
