Razor (works extremely well with Qiqi, XQ, Free Slot)

With your current levels and gear, this is the comp I would go with (probably sticking Fishcl in the fourth slot for off-screen damage/extra battery, or XL if you need fire). Razor+Qiqi were the first two characters I pulled, and they were basically joined at the hip for like most of the first couple months I played the game due to how beneficial superconduct is for Razor's DPS. The group is easily powerful enough to take on even lvl 90 bosses and some of the artifact domains that don't require special mix-ups, and Qiqi's healing helps make Razor practically immortal.

Another recommended grouping (but may take some grinding) might be Chongyun, XQ, Fischl, and Bennet/Qiqi. This one is a sort of perma-freeze comp where you will constantly proc freeze/shatter while Fischl allows for superconduct. Works great for overworld and a lot of domains, but not quite as well against bosses in my opinion.


Edit: Also, as mentioned, don't worry about XQ not dishing out massive numbers with his e-skill. The videos I've seen of that typically have him pulling a vape crit at like 90/90 C6 with perfect crit gear and maxed talent level on it, which only costs millions of mora, a crown, and an obscene number of talent books to get.

Looks like building Kaeya or Chongyun some more to have a solid ice support for my Electro characters is in order.

Just as a note, Chong works really well as a primary carry or a support for Bennet melt comps, but doesn't work as a support for most other teams because his E skill overrides the elements on autoattacks. This is great for Bennet (the 2-3 autos between his E mean that he always gets Melt on his actual big pyro hits) but bad for like, Razor who wants to be dealing Phys damage with his autos. You pretty much are stuck with Qiqi or Kaeya for Superconduct teams.

15 pulls since Xiao on his banner, feels like really dumb luck grabbing so many 5-Stars in a short time, my friends were talking about losing the 50/50 on pity pulls to get Xiao or Ganyu and I was just pulling as soon as I had the gems

A friend told me to just stop rolling until a Venti banner so I can replace C2 Sucrose.

Ganyugoons, are there any domains that are easily farmable with a Cryo team apart from Zhou Formula? I'm trying out Ganyu / XL / XQ / Diona as a comp over the next week and need some options for sinking condensed resin into. I'm running 4pc BS on Ganyu with the Blackcliff bow and not currently focusing on Melt or Freeze specifically. I'm playing on mobile, so weakpoint strategies are out for now.

Why does the level 90 domains sometimes give me less then the level 80 or 70 domain? The level 80 occasionally gives me a purple, but I’ve never got a gold from the level 90. It almost seems not worth the effort. I’m saying this after getting 4 blue and 4 green from a level 90 run.

Probably the same reason using condensed resin will give you 1 purple sometimes.

It should in theory double the rewards not do whatever it does now.

I think their drop tables are kinda hosed.

There is no situation where doing the lower level domain is worth it.

Talent domains do scale relatively poorly with levels though. Second highest to highest domain level just gets you .4 green books and ~.25 gold books per run, whereas in artifact domains you go from 25% chance of a gold to 100% chance of one.

I was never under the impression it doubled your reward, I always assumed it just rolled your reward twice as if it was 2 20 resin runs. So if one of the runs rolls a purple and the other does not you get 1 purple.

I also decided to level up Xingqiu some more a few days ago and did the same thing, after not having fought Oceanid since I raised him to 60/70 back whenever. I remembered it sucking too, but the last time I fought it was before Ganyu/non-bad Zhongli existed. So it was actually pretty painless. Oceanid is a great place for the Dong Shield, got the dumb achievement for taking no water bomb damage without even trying.

Oh thank christ, this is great to hear. My Ganyu is kitted out pretty well and my Zhongli's a WIP as carry and fully functional as support. Today was my first day really stress testing the Dong Shield and holy gently caress the shield alone pays for itself. I used to get oneshot by WL7 Andrius with any of my pyro units and can now tank at least two hits. I think Oceanid shouldn't be too bad, even if I'm no longer relying on Lisa to cheese the fight

it's an annoyingly slow fight where one of your slots has to be a dedicated bird counter (whether they spawn or not), but that's about the extent of my complaints

Childe/XQ A5, Mona A4, Barb A3. the only reason XQ isn't A6 is that effort was better spent on other characters (Diluc, Xiao, Albedo) and i still have more to push there (Zhongli, non-MC Anemos).

What's Co-Op etiquette? After someone helps you beat a monster in 20 seconds, can the player do anything else in your world or do you just say thanks and then disconnect them? If there are any chests around after the monster is beaten, can they collect it?

They cannot loot chests, but they can spend their resin to get resin awards along with you (you each get your own rewards). They can also pick up world spawn items like plants, but I assume it is poor form to do so without permission, especially for more limited items like Philanemo Mushrooms or whatever.

Gah, I would've tried harder on Ganyu's banner if I had thought it out more and realized that she would trivialize Oceanid.

Keqing trivializes it too, if it helps, albeit not as much as Ganyu. Electro is pretty good against water, her teleport lets her whittle down the birds, but - most importantly - properly executed ult can one-shot all of them because it extends reasonably upwards.

My Ning is C5 right now and a constant work in progress. I looked at a video on better optimizing her and the guy had like plus 20% ATK on most of his artifacts to start with, and like 1100 atk just from artifacts alone so I'm way behind with mine. Not to mention being 60% behind on his CrDMG
