Rhino, you did this to me!

They're not actually invulnerable, they just don't display hp bars and are as tanky as always. Killing them doesn't do anything special, just takes them out of the fight for that round of spawns

And yes, i have also lost the electro seelie multiple times. Zoooooooooom

For the life of me I cannot beat the challenge fight you need to win to knock out the forcefield protecting the shard in the Into the Mountains quest. My team is 70/50/50/40. Am I underleveled or just bad?

No idea what your team looks like so I dunno. I got frozen so many times doing that one, it's really annoying.

Is that the one with a pool of water, a bunch of ice mages, and you have to run round the water to kill groups on different sides on a fairly tight time limit? At the bottom of a big cave? If so, that was a bastard of a fight for me too. Took lots of attempts, and I think at one point I hosed off and came back a week or two later, higher level with better artifacts. I cant remember if there is any good advice I could give other than I think that if I fell in the water I pretty much just wrote off that attempt. My team would have been Anemo traveller, Razor, Bennet, and... I'm honestly not sure for slot 4, it was before I got Zhongli, so maybe it would have been amber purely to have a second pyro/occasionally use her bunny bomb?

Always. Just make sure you're using Stardust and not Starglitter. I aim to clean out the shop every month for those Fates.

Excellent. I've been looking at them longingly while the days counted down, but I wasn't sure because people talk about focusing on the limited banner.

I think a good way to think of it is not to spend anything particularly limited on the standard banner--in this case, primogems or starglitter. Stardust is fine to spend on acquaint fates.

Personally I'm looking forward to the shop resetting tomorrow because I'm closing in on the standard banner 5* pity and I'm excited to throw five more acquaint fates at it and see what happens.

Rhino, you did this to me!

Dust is for Fates, anything else is secondary.

As for that stupid challenge fight in Dragonspine, I remember having a ton of trouble and I think ended up eating a bunch of food and potions to be able to kill things fast enough. It is the epitome of what I dislike about Genshin, lovely fights with a time constraint.

Basically, all the other stuff you can buy with stardust isn't all that important, so there's not a whole lot of opportunity cost involved. Go wild and buy those five blue wishes every month.

Is Diluc the one mostly leveled one? He should be leading that fight. Is that the fight with the freakin' abyss mages?

The "trick" is to get their attention and get them to all teleport close to one another, then go after them with the claymore once they're gouped. Each swing can nail multiple shields. Also try to knock them together and not away for each other.

Does that quest lock you out of multiplayer? If it doesn't you can always ask goons on discord for an assist. The discord is in the OP.

Is this the one with multiple Abyss Mages? That one is a huge pain in the rear end; the way I beat it was breaking their shields and drowning them.

If you want to poke us on the Discord, I'm sure some of us would be happy to jump in and help out.

Perhaps try it on a lower difficulty, since the achievement does not demand that you do the hardest one

There's two characters available per month for 34 Glitter and a bunch of weapons for 24.

One Fate is a pretty bad deal.

Glitter is up to you since buying the fates gets you closer to your next 5 star but sometimes you can't get a 4 star to come home and buying them from the shop helps with that.

Unlocking all seelies also makes the fight easier indeed. Not greatly, but in this fight every tiny bit counts.

I skipped on those for the lonest time. I thought they were just whale time sinks. Well, they are, but raising them to at least 6 nets huge benefits.

Keep in mind if you want the 4 stars on the banner, or their constellations. You're unlikely to get another 5 star in your next set of rolls (though I'm one of those guys who's had it happen).

This was more true before we found out the shop is just the same rotation. I'm at the point where the only thing I buy is freebie constellations because I already have the non-freebies at high constellations and the weapons are pretty situational. Getting closer to the 5* pity send better when those are your alternatives.

Aw man, they took out meat and fowl from the daily check-in rewards.

Jokes aside, looks way better. Primos have been moved up so you only need 18 days to get them all, and the non-leveling mats/mora you get are fully cooked food.

on one hand, the glitter to fate exchange rate is bad. on the other, the shop rotation has been static so far and depending on your roster it may just suck

i'll probably start holding onto them a bit more after Sayu drops but the batch of 4* from 1.1 haven't shown in the shop yet, let alone Yanfei or Rosa. so i could probably continue to cash glitter for rolls and be safe until like 2023 lmao

You get it as a reward for reaching level 9 reputation. It'll be a good while before you can unlock it, even if you're doing requests and max-level bounties every week.
