It doesn't make a difference if you have to Xiao E after ult in terms of energy recharge. The two charges have a 20 second CD so you just hold them and burn them when the ult is over.

OK, fine in multiplayer but in singleplayer the cooldowns dont line up. So pop everyone elses cooldown and or bursts before swapping back to xiao and using his burst. Your Es WILL be off of cooldown by 5/10 seconds before your ult expires.

Ooo, ooo, I have one for you.

Hit 71 rolls this morning so I said eff it and dropped 50 glitter for a 10-roll to hopefully hit soft pity on Ganyu. I did it! It was..... Diluc C1.

....

Diluc is the only off-banner 5* I have so out of Qiqi, Keq, Mona, or Jean, it gave me a goddamn dupe.

I know, I know, tis the gacha life, but as a F2P getting a dupe when there's tons of other fun characters has really taken some wind out of my sails.

I'm gonna roll on the Xiao banner just in case but then I guess I'm saving until Venti. Or someone else hella broken and super cool comes out.

I had the same thing happen to me except it was Mona. I'd love love love for that to have been a Keqing let me tell ya. This thread's hate-on for her is so weird to me. She might have some QoL issues but her sheer fun factor more than makes up for it, and she's far from weak.

I really like Keqing and think she's a lot of fun to play. Burning stamina on attacks and the knockback issues are sometimes annoying, though.

Yeah, I mean some characters are definitely more powerful than others, as will happen, but the cool thing about Genshin is (so far) nothing feels dps locked. High power characters make things easier, but there's no content that can't be done with who's available.

So my interest is in character already when it comes to 5*s and that made the Diluc sting much harder. I have 4 total and today I managed a dupe of one. Blargh.

Dammit, Chongyun next banner appearance is gonna be with Razor again, isn't it. And with my luck, the third will be someone else I'm maxed out on. So help me, if it's a Qiqi banner.

It looks like you can get one in the next event for free if I'm reading these notes correctly.

Rofl, just pulled another Chong on the standard banner with my 5 monthly stardust wishes (and a Barb dupe, bleh)

That puts me at 3 standard Chongs, 1 freebie this patch, and only 2 from rate-ups (the first of which took 180+ pulls). At this point, I kind of wanna hit C6 without ever pulling him from a rate-up again. I'd just need one more random pull and a starglitter feature.

Edit: wait I'll be at C5 after the freebie, so just a starglitter feature then!

Her C1 looks pretty neat to me esp with how low the cooldown is on her E but I agree, nothing too gamechanging.

It’s super annoying that there is always two days between the BPs.

Also what’s a decent stopping point for character skills?

6?

I’m trying to plan stuff out but not sure how far to take some of these skills.

6 is forced upon you. Getting higher goes into the weekly boss drops and requires even more ascension.

60/70 and level 3-4, then artifacts to level 16, and then talents to 6 is about as far as it's worth taking anyone unless you just have resin to burn. Weapons are good investments too because they take pretty little resin so long as you have ore, and you should get a steady amount of that from expeditions even if you don't do dedicated mining. Primary damage dealers can get more investment than this but that's the best stopping place unless you really want to pump someone, usually.

Your WL will also dictate a lot of this. I find it gates you fairly close to the rate you want to go. I was hitting the limits right as I was reaching the WL level (with the exception of 50 which took a bit longer).

If it helps you can feed the slingshot to rust and get most of the XP back. The game dumps slingshots on you, so all that you lose is the mulch XP cost.

Xiao looks like he'll deal even more damage than Ganyu. I know anemo selfish XD but there are a lot of characters that can make his downsides really minor (Fishl, Albedo, Xingqiu solve any of his problems with enough ER). Idk what happened or why they're going so crazy with the new characters' power levels. Maybe they know most players have a collection of characters they're happy with at this point.

Got my monthly stardust fates, and managed to get both a Sacrificial Sword and a Sacrificial Greatsword.

The sword I know pretty much homes in on Xingqiu because of the ridonkulous cooldown on his rainswords, but who's the greatsword good for? Chongyun? Diluc? Xinyan?

Not Diluc, his E has a fast cool down anyway and you run it in a series, not sure the refresh would help at all. With my monthly fates I got ... 5 more 3 stars.

Chong and Xinyan supports, yeah. Noelle can use it since she wants ER, it has like half the ER of Favonius but better atk as the trade-off. since her skill does damage she should be able to proc the reset similar to Barbara (awkwardly).

You're mulching weapon ascension mats as well. Weapon exp is so plentiful I'd just keep the slingshot. I also have an R5 of every 3 star in my inventory so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I assume you're using her as a main DPS, right? I would just hang on to it and level up Rust. Rust should be better, and if you're using her as one of your main DPSs then it's an incremental upgrade.

It becomes a big problem eventually unless you farm daily or aren't AR50 yet. About half of a weapon's upgrade cost is going from 80->90.

I don't farm daily at all, if I run across some ore on the way to a daily I will grab it, but I never seek it out. I gain the majority of my ore from the expeditions. I have 3 level 90 weapons, 2 level 80, 2 level 70, and a smattering of ~ 20. I have about 2200 white iron chunks, 1100 crystal chunks, ~ 2000 of both the small and mid sized upgrade mat and then 1400 of the Mystic Enhancement Ore. I have no idea how many levels that is worth, but it is significantly more than any of my elemental chunks or 93 purple exp books. All of my weapons are 4* fwiw.
