I'm really tempted to take albedo to 90 because his defense scaling looks good, and a bigger geo bonus is nice.

and I can take isotoma to 10 :suicide:

That's the curse of albedo. You hear he's a budget character but you are uncontrollably driven to give him everything.

An uncountable number, to be sure.

What are the geo buffs exactly? I know stuff changed from 250% to 150% and that's all I've got.

Geo Shields changed from 250% against Geo damage to 150% against everything (which is better because geo damage is pretty rare). Only Noelle and Zhongli can make Geo shields though.

Geo resonance was changed so now it buffs shields, increases damage while you have a shield (by 25% instead of 15%), and lowers Geo resist of enemies on hit by 20%.

Fragile resin goes in the spots where weapon ores used to be (levels 5/15/25/etc.). Those ores are now distributed out into other ore-giving ranks of the BP and haven't been removed entirely.

I wonder what the reasoning behind mobs giving like 14xp per kill was. Kinda nuts that it doesn't change with enemy/world level. Even for a gacha game completely meaningless kill xp seems like an oversight.

You literally can't level characters in battle in FGO, and they model most of their systems around FGO.

Giving EXP at all seems like more of a tracker than actual XP purposes.

My favorite part is how much it messes with the combat for the 99% of the time you play this game solo-player. "Oh, you want to switch characters? Let me ask the server if that is allowed, we'll get back to you on that. Hope you don't currently have a high ping for any reason..."

Also the carry they introduced features a new split resource system for leveling, including a never-before-seen resource, and needing a weapon you probably don't have. :argh:

even if the primo vishap dropped anemo, it's such an inconsistent thing that you'd be using the conversion system on what drops you get anyway. assuming you don't already have a decent handful of mid/high-tier gems on hand from weekly bosses accumulating over time.

The downside is you need two Geo characters in the party, who do poo poo all for damage outside of Ning.

ZL was a good burst support before but had nothing else to contribute besides a shield. Now his shield is better because of the 20% resist shred vs. everything and it stays up significantly longer due to 150% bonus vs. all dmg and the geo resonance buff. His energy generation is still bad, but C2 Ning makes plenty for both of them.

What I'm saying is, Ning + ZL went from good to godly. Number went up, like, a lot.

3/4 geo characters do good to amazing damage (even if Albedo does it all from off-field) and the last can be built to do pretty big hits during her burst if you want to use her for that. Contrary to the memes, geo not in fact bad.

I would definitely spring for a Goonshin guild if the feature is introduced.

That said there's rumors circulating of player housing so who knows maybe a guild feature will get introduced.

Any color you get more than 8 of you should trade for a different color. You can only trade 8 full sets during the event, so having any more than that is pointless.

A few questions: How easy is the event to the 4 star character, how long does this event last, and how early can I go to Liyue? I am still in Prologue Act 2

Really, I have been antsy about getting a new fire character that isn't Amber.

EDIT: Okay, it lasts all month so I am good there at least.

Xiangling being a freebie is fantastic. She's dropped a bit on tier lists since a slew of new 5*s came out but she's still the best carry out of the free units and Crescent Pike just owns so hard. I'm approaching 500 rolls total and still don't have any constellations for Kaeya/Amber/Lisa afaik, my Xiangling is at C4 and she's been on...at least two banners now? Good stuff

Pyro claymore with shield gen and cleansing, seems to fill the Jean support niche of "does several things adequately" at a 4* level. She's outclassed in any one of them by more focused units, but she makes up for it in utility. Definitely more useful early game before you start having to maximize specific stats. Cool as hell to boot, fun pull

I find her pretty fun. Unfortunately, she's one of the most constellation-dependent characters in the game. She needs C1 to be a DPSer, C2 to make her burst strong and Pyro application consistent, and C4 to be a physical damage support. I honestly don't think she does anything decently at C0.
