I do the full artifact farm route every day because my brain is very smooth and I have 11 support units.

if you want to smooth your brain down some more you could set up a dedicated team for it

Pshh, needs Zhongli over Ningguang. Maybe Diona over Kaeya too, since her shield gives speed for a slightly weaker stamina buff.

Most tempting argument I've seen to pull for Xiao though. My team is Venti/Sucrose/Zhongli/Diona, but Sucrose doesn't do anything other than activate Anemo resonance.

Post your characters, we can tell you who to level past 40.

Spreading yourself too thin is a common mistake and easily redeemable at your level, you just have to commit to a "main" team. Usually 1 carry + 2 supports/subdps + healer.

5*s are nice to have, but definitely not necessary. You will acquire them over time as you roll and hit pity.

Sure, aside from the Traveler (C4 on both Geo & Anemo) and the other freebies: Xiangling (C3), Barbara (C1), Xingqiu (C1), Bennett, Beidou, Noelle, Sucrose, and Xinyan. Anyone not specified is C0.

Give Xiangling a crescent pike (which is craftable from the freebie prototypes) and say goodbye to overworld difficulty - she'll be the best carry in your roster. For even more damage you would want to run super conduct which needs electro (Lisa/Beidou) and cryo (Kaeya).

For a healer, that's just what Barbara does and you'll get Hydro to pop pyro shields. If you want a claymore, Noelle can fill that spot and heal as well. If you want to be spicy and maximize your energy regen, choose Bennet who is arguably one of the best 4 star units in the game, and will also net you the pyro resonance to boost Xianglings attack. And an additional attack buff from his ult! :getin:

If you run this team, you can just focus on dumping resources into Xianglings artifacts and keeping Crescent pike upgraded. Hope this helps!

RealFoxy this might work for you too if you're having trouble. You've got an interesting roster; what characters do you like to use/have already leveled?

My travel team is Childe/Razor/Venti/Anemo.

you have the essential pieces for one of Diluc's best teams, Diluc/Xingqiu/Sucrose. just add Barbara as a healer, maybe Diona. your main obstacle here is mostly just lacking a few good support weapons but you can use artifacts to build ER% on characters like Xingqiu until you get a Favonius/Sacrificial sword.

for second team options you can build around Ganyu. didn't roll her and don't care about her myself so i have no idea what pairings you'd make other than giving her whichever healer Diluc isn't using. Liyue should have more 4* weapon prototypes for you in the antique shop there, so you can make a Prototype Crescent for Ganyu as a better freebie option than Favonius (which should go on Diona).

These are the two teams I'd go for, with Diluc and Ganyu as main damage dealers. The first team lets you permanently freeze enemies and trivializes most overworld challenges. Use Sucrose with VV to help boost your damage by grouping enemies and reducing their resistance if/when you get that artifact set available.

Team 2 is much easier, just freeze and melt everyone with Noelle's shield and grabbing for convenience.

Xiangling is a very good character. (My main team was comprised of her, C2 Kaeya, Anemo Traveler, and C0 Bennett until AR40.) If that C3 doesn't include the free spiral abyss copy, I would definitely suggest you focus on her sooner rather than later. The +40% uptime that her burst gets from C4 is no joke.

Do you have any Northlander Spear Billets? (They were called prototypes instead of billets before 1.3, so take that into account.) If you want to use Xiangling as a main attacker, her second-best weapon can be crafted at the forge using a billet. She's still worth raising if not; she can function as elemental support as well.

I definitely recommend pairing Bennett with her over Barbara. The thing about Xiangling is that her burst has a high energy cost. Barbara produces no energy for other characters at all; meanwhile, due to how the energy system works, particles made by Bennett will give Xiangling three times as much energy as the particles from any non-Pyro character. Bennett is also cheap to kit out and slots well into a lot of team compositions, so focusing on him gives you a lot of freedom in building teams later on.

Also, leveling Barbara doesn't improve her shield-popping abilities any; it's cheaper to just keep her low-level and switch her into your team temporarily when you need to pop a Pyro mage sheild.

i would probably just chalk it up to Ganyu's ridiculous damage potential. Xiao feels pretty balanced to me and is fun to play with a few caveats like fragility and team pickiness. by nature of his moves he's at least above Albedo in exciting-ness even if they are both in the "balanced" pool of 5*.

I was saving but didn't know what for. I splurged on the Ganyu banner simply because I wanted to murder Timmie's pigeons.

Finally got 10k saved back up and going to burn it on the Keqing banner. Really stoked for potential Ningguang and Bennett constellations, and if I pull a C1 Keqing it would not be a bad thing.

I am mentally prepared to pull C12 Barbara.

Thanks! I have not yet gotten the free copy from Spiral Abyss, so that'll be my next priority. I haven't gotten a spear billet yet, but it looks like you get one from the same challenge, so that'll lock that down too.

I guess the next step after that will be the pyro regisvine so I can get her ascended and leveled past 40.

As other people have said, Xiangling, Bennett, Xingqiu and Sucrose are the most versatile characters you have. Sucrose isn't amazing until you get the Viridescent Venerer set, but easily outclasses all the other characters you have to support Xiangling.

Basically, if you pop Bennetts ult, and then mix XQ and XL ults, you are going to destroy everything and be invincible. Add in a swirl (or even her ult) from Sucrose and you are all set.
