All geo damage can proc shatter, so yeah Albedo could potentially be goofy in any freeze setup.

yeah, i've been messing around with Bennett/Kaeya/Chong/Albedo for Cecilia Garden and both his skill placement and the blossoms will shatter. nice bonus to have in the mix given his EM sharing, i suppose.

shatter is extra damage, but there are teams that just want permafreeze like 4pc BS Kaeya. Chongyun doesn't have the option of avoiding shatter so you may as well build into it with his teams, though.

I think Shatter might actually be fine in a Tartaglia/Ganyu setup, because if you're going Childe Melee in Ganyu's Q then everything's just going to get refrozen constantly and I don't see any particular downside to Albedo's Blossoms shattering anything. Especially true if you're not running Blizzard Strayer on Tartaglia, as he's only going to get the +15% Crit Rate from Cryo Resonance. It would be undesirable when you're at range, but pretty much no one is contributing to a long-range Ganyu setup except other long-range characters and Ganyu/Tartaglia is a strong enough combo there that you can hold the rest of the party in reserve for melee time. EDIT: For raw damage though Xiangling Q would probably be better when Tartaglia's going ham in the Ganyu zone. Nakar fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Jan 17, 2021 |

I've gotta ask, is this random or the case for everyone? I'm constantly in need more more Hillichurl masks and those are never a guarantee fighting them. But on the other hand I'm always getting something fighting Whopperflowers and slimes. And pretty often third tier stuff as well. I'm wondering if they're randomly scarce for other people or if it's always masks that aren't dropping regularly.

Is Klee's attack unique in terms of being a catalyst (or non-claymore period I think) that breaks rocks easily?RareAcumen posted:I've gotta ask, is this random or the case for everyone? I doubt I'll ever be in need of any Hilichurl product ever again, with masks probably being one of the ones I have the most of. I probably have roughly 300 of the lowest rarity ones. For most Hilichurl items I have a ratio of something like 300/100/30 (by increasing rarity). Slime parts are probably the only monster part I have more of. This is likely a result of having to kill them every single day for commissions. padijun posted:

Ningguang and goblets are generally the one piece you run that isn't on-set. having a 5* that also has good substats is already a good place to be, even if it can make your sands or hat slot more restrictive to farm in the process

Wind Cube was much easier than Electro Cube for getting a 4k+ score. The important mod to turn off is -50% crit rate which is really punishing for literally everyone, everything else was super easy. The telegraph for when it does the arena wipe attack is when it sports the butterfly wings; you need to have one of the anemo crystals it dropped still alive on the field so you can kill it to create a wind boost, which gets you out of the attack and lets you plunge to turn it off. Really though if you're bringing friends just burst damage as best you can and with some good RNG you won't even see that move before you push it to last stand range. Speaking of RNG, it's totally random what move it picks after last stand so you can have a really good run that times out because it's next attack is being invincible while spawning whirlwinds, which sucks, but them's the breaks sometimes.

So the potential starglitter 4*s for next month are Beidou, Chongyun, Diona, Ningguang, Noelle, Sucrose, Xingqiu, and Xinyan. They've already broken the concurrent rateup + starglitter seal with Fischl. Fingers crossed for Diona and Ning, but I'm not holding my breath. The Ganyu banner still looks tempting from an XQ/XL perspective, but my Noelle is already C3 and I just don't ever see myself using her.

Guess it's time to save primos XQ is such a good support character that even before reports of Ganyu's strength were widespread I knew I'd be rolling on this. I saw it as a XQ banner, not a Ganyu banner. People's teams vary but you should take a hard look at the characters you have and think about if having constant, effortless, mostly risk-free hydro application in melee range would be helpful to you.

I already pulled my Ganyu via hard pity on this banner, and I don’t know if my remaining pulls are best spent on hoping to hit on an Amos bow for her, or if I should keep trying for XQ constellations (currently C2). I know Xingqiu is the best character that I’m not using, but I’ve never felt like I have a great way to slot him into one of my lineups. Right now I’m carried by Childe and C6 Fischl support, along with Venti and C5 Ning that I rotate in or out depending on content. Is it worth dumping resources into him if I don’t have a strong pyro carry?

XQ fits in well with any team since if you build him up then its an extra 1k to 2k free damage each time you attack with his ult. Or more if you grind artifacts. Well maybe not Ganyu since her kit is charge attacks. Its apparently not easy to mix in non-charge attacks. But could be useful for a freeze comp but it seems easier to run a melt team with Xiangling? I'd build him if you plan on doing abyss and need a filler. But yeah Ganyu and Childe are prob the two carries he meshes the worst with.

C6 Noelle is by far the strongest ‘nothing is working someone take care of this’ character in the game. She will shred triple mage comps with whatever support you can afford her. She doesn’t have the burst of some characters but not getting interrupted is powerful poo poo, plus she heals, plus her burst has huge range. I wanted to use her for this event but the energy regen debuff murders her also geo doesn’t do dmg to these shields? Idk. Anyways she’s a great character on par with any other 4* c6. Takes some weird investment I guess but nobody else even uses glad/bolide defense stuff.

I'm in a weird spot where I have every greatsword user not named Diluc and a slew of 4* greatswords and none of my teams have a greatsword user on them. Klee has spoiled me for mining, geo hypo, and shield busting. Childe just murders everything and Ning is another catalyst monster. I'm leveling a Serpent Spine just in case I pull the big D since I miss bonking enemies. It's odd being AR50 and neglecting an entire weapon class, but I guess that's the tradeoff for carry leveling being such a time and resource sink.

dogsicle posted:Ningguang Ah, I probably should have added "or geo users" since that also breaks rocks. Since fire doesn't normally break rocks, the Klee situation seems kind of unusual. And that's a good point about the goblet; I'll check what other artifacts I have to see how viable sticking it in is.

C6 gives you a bit of energy smoving and basicaly from 2.3 swords per hit to 3.3 (2-3-2 to 2-3-5), it's not going to change your world like giving him sac sword bit it's a big "he's just better"

C0 XQ is good just for burst support. One of the best features if his burst is how well it applies wet, which is great for elemental reactions once you switch to your main dps. Thats not to mention the damage reduction, slight healing, and burst damage he provides. C6 is godly

A few XQ notes though: Sac only procs if it does damage, so not if the enemy has a shield (phisical shield they are holding that blocks or elemental). His swords can proc reactions which si good, but also bad because it can "Eat" the reactions you need/want, like say you're attacking a fatui shield or a hypostasis He's still amazing but it's just a few things i've noticed

^^^^ Ahh, this might explain why I seemed to have really "bad luck" when using his skill against Pyro Abyss Mage shields. I've decided that the best revive recipe is Mondstadt Grilled Fish if you have Diona. It's cheap and Diona gets both the bonus to healing foods and the chance to create the 10% HP version (and the 10% HP revive foods are the best ones and the only ones that give a non-trivial amount of HP).

Sucrose's unique food is from a recipe you can only get by commission reward, but it took me months to get the food delivery commission and it turns out the recipe isn't even guaranteed. At least I don't see the dummy breaking commission very much.

What exactly is up with the "take 25% more damage when switching characters" debuff? Isn't that effectively just a "take double damage" effect unless you're choosing to do the fight with just a single character? Does it apply if you just switch between two characters?

I don't know but it doesn't really matter either. Like most Mihoyo fight designs, at the higher difficulties this fight is intended to be a DPS check where all that matters is how much damage you do, and if you get hit you die instantly. I don't know why people expected shields to be meaningful in this game, because this is just how Mihoyo does things.
