"LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"

Boris Galerkin posted:

Are the point upgrades something that I need to plan out because it won’t be possible to get them all, or will we get enough points to upgrade everything?

There's no limit to the number of times you can play, so it's completely possible to max out all the turrets.

Well finally hit that 5*pity on standard.

Skyward sword.

...

Okay so this is basically Chongyun? My great sword users are Chongyun c1, noelle c2, beidou ç0.

I was going to use my recently pitied Mona with Bennett, ningguang dps, albedo...I could probably just toss Chongyun in instead of Mona, yeah?

Skyward Pride is BIS for Noelle but yeah, as a 5* you can just treat it like a stat stick and slap it on whoever you're using most

Not yet, though as there is a time component to doing TD over and over it just means a big block of time later doing something all at once.

Mine is level 78 with 1840 DEF, 38.4% crit rate not counting harbinger buff (so 66.4% with buff), 144.3% crit dmg, level 20 geo goblet. Talent level 8 on E. I deal ~8k bloom crits to enemies with <50% HP and that will go up to ~10k when I eventually level him to 86 (Albedo benefits from leveling a lot). I have noblesse but that doesn't change my E damage, no other set bonus.

My helmet could be a lot better, my other pieces are as good as they'll realistically get. Idk how people hit 15k blooms without both geo resonance and C3 (with geo resonance, my blooms are 10k, would be 12.5k at level 86 and with talent level 13 would deal 16.6k).

This is good to know, since I refuse to just go look up videos on all the characters for some reason.

She's not great without c6 though, right?

afaik C6 just means you have extra burst damage and can afford to build her with def% sands. before that you just build her like a normal atk-focused carry that doesn't mind def% subs.

Geo slimes are absolutely awful though if you have no way to bust their shields.

If you've got a Ning I've found she absolutely shreds Geo shields, just stand in the middle of your Hydro/Electro/Pyro/whatever turrets and do your normal rotation and things explode.

I've just been setting up hydro towers at the entrances and then blasting frost arrows with ganyu. Set up a pyro tower a bit after in case anything survives.

Oh and blocking the entrances with rocks from geo traveler lol

Those fast caster dudes are annoying. And the torch guys. Epecially in the first couple of waves when you have only a few turrets set up. They just sprint though if I don't freeze them quickly.

I just like how diverse the monster cast is. Little fast samachurls can just run under pyro towers. Plenty of big rear end dudes to jaunt through that get destroyed by them. Slimes that can be huge pains in the rear end if you cant knock them around with the right reaction.

Just watch me type that and then like the difficulty 8 is nothing but fatui.

I usually put pyro/electro towers near the enemy gates to blow up any shields as soon as they show up and if they somehow make it past them they'll never make it past Ganyu and the hydro towers.

Are there any turrets that can reliably hit those? Sometimes those guys just avoid all the projectiles my turrets shoot (I've been relying on Jean to throw them off cliffs when they slip through).

Lisa/electro is great for those guys. It's fun that the torches act as a hidden pyro element, so when the wielder is hit with electro it results in an overloaded reaction knockdown that the turrets can hit and gang up on.

You can stacker most of the runners with a greatsword user, Chonguyn is ecxellent for this as his "e" will also freeze everyone, if you do this next to a water tower. Now a ruin hunter that flies at twice that speed, that is an issue...

For those who just want to level their towers, run the first map on repeat. One electro tower in front of each portal and a water tower between them takes care of everything that walks through. If you select one of the special mobs between waves, then you might need another one or two towers at the bottom of the stairs. Use the currency to upgrade electro and water and repeat. Takes 3 or 4 minutes for 400 of the upgrade currency.

If you can do coop with goons. You basically get double the resources and double the mystic arts which makes split lanes a lot easier to handle and geo constructs all on one lane can basically shut it down forever.

The most annoying quest was the one with the wrench dock worker. First I got roped into thinking it was a simple delivery quest but then he makes you run up and down the ship and city and you know what gently caress you wrench man.

So far the worst quest was the picture matching quest (match a picture, get sent to hunt treasures), but only because it made you do specifically annoying things like fight ice slimes on top of water.

Yeah, I thought it was great. A bit above & beyond. I feel like a bunch of these quests were different subteams showing off a bit and showing what's possible; like making the player actually take a screenshot.
