i will probably still try and buy the Favonius Knights (Amber and Kaeya to C6, Lisa to C5), but yeah the only other times i bought characters so far were to get C0 Bennett and C6 Xingqiu. also some Blackcliff stuff when i was stupid enough to think it might be useful on anyone other than Xinyan. also went back to overworld pyro cube and it seems just about as flighty as the Abyss one if i'm honest. weird design for this dude but maybe i should just be trying to Childe nuke instead of a thousand-cuts style like Ayaka. certainly there doesn't seem to be enough time to Mona -> Ayaka burst in either verson's invuln window. dogsicle fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Aug 12, 2021 |

The only constellation I've bought with starglitter is XQ. Probably the only other ones I'd get are the non-banner trio.

There are exceptions, when my friend had the opportunity to purchase a C6 Fischl I told him to go for it. He's amazingly happy with it so I wouldn't say he wasted his glitter any more than I wasted mine.

The only character I bought from the shop was Amber, since hitting her constellations is a pain, I am still only at C1. Could also buy Lisa, but I don't play her as much anyway.

Araganzar posted:Therefore every nine characters you buy you lose one 5* and eight 4* characters from the gacha. So of you have been doing this the last nine months you have lost two 5* characters in return for getting 18 4* characters out of the shop vs 16 from the gacha. Who the heck is getting enough glitter to buy out both shop characters every month? I get one-and-a half per month, and the only source of primos I slack on is Abyss rotations. The actual best tactic is to save up 68 starglitter so that you have enough to buy any key shop characters that come along (Fischl's last constellation, that C0 Bennett that's been eluding you for months, etc.) and spend the rest on limited banner rolls.

 Neat visualization of the 4* banner distribution since release. Judging from this, Raiden/Sara banner will likely get Xiangling and Noelle. Didn't really notice the XL drought since I C6'd her on Venti's first run, but must suck for the people who are itching to get her really awesome constellations. There are 9 other characters who've gotten featured twice since her last run.

So here is what Sayu looks like at 5/7/8 talents at level 76. This is with a skyward pride and a non-EM build, 2600 attack, 57% CR 107% CD, 165% ER, 151 EM. https://i.imgur.com/Igg0qUG.mp4Energy regeneration is...not good. Will probably try an EM build too but I don't have an EM sword levelled up. Here is what the burst/heal looks like at level 8, it's pretty comparable to other heals and you don't need to pump HP for it. One thing I just noticed is that if you swap out during the rolly polly skill it doesn't fire the AOE before the swap like Eula would. So it's probably best to hit the skill again to end it before swapping. https://i.imgur.com/PAAnB6I.mp4 Healing about 4300 per tick and doing 2800 damage on the pulses, this is at C2. BTW it's really neat that playstation changed their website so you can no longer access your parties or messages to share screenshots and videos....

I've got every four star at c6 cept: Barbara (c4) Sucrose (c1 whaaaaaaa) Razor (c4) Xinyan (c4) Sayu (c1) Lisa (c2) Amber (c1) Kaeya (c0 lol) Don't regret the one or two dudes I bought out from shop. Constellations are more important when they are important. There's a pretty natural switch to not caring. I've scrapped together the bits of starglitter to pull a five star multiple times so I think it's a pretty dope thing to do. The starters not getting constellations was so dumb. They could have been part of the Adventure Rank packages or something. And now they've released a pretty easy replacement for Kaeya in Rosa and it's like okay cya never my dude. I guess he did see use against stupid fatui before they released a billion cryo characters. I've been using Lisa for Inazuma stuff, she's... yeah I still think she's as miserable to play as I did during her dungeon trial.

I don't even get it, Klee was the first banner I rolled on I skipped Venti. Spent all my leveling gems. Then I saved for Albedo. And then I saved for Venti rerun! All Sucrose banners were the things I planned my rolls for! Sometimes it just do be like that.

Sucrose's cons after C2 arent even good (C3 and C5 are useless due to EM scaling, C6 does nothing, C4 is niche and not even a big deal in that niche), so you're almost there.

Yeah my one complaint about Inazuma is that there is so drat much dialog and it's mostly not funny (there is sadly no Venti in Inazuma). The characters aren't silly. Except Saimon, that part was hilarious. Xavier's ok in my book too. No Wave fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Aug 12, 2021 |

If they added some kind of customization or unlocks to the ship, maybe I'd feel more invested.

Oh hey mechanicus is back on the menu. I assume sets of 1 hydro + 2 cryo + 1 pyro is gonna be the best option again?

i thought the ship was basically required for something like that "kill kairagi in bumfuck nowhere" commission off to the east of the perpetual mech array it's also definitely a convenience for some of the exploration and puzzle areas (that you don't need to revisit tbf) and stuff like a lot of the little mora boxes. i do think it'd be fine if they put boat speed challenges in as additional commissions though.

I mean I don't really agree with that but why does it have to be daily commission or nothing? all they have to do is put poo poo out in the ocean and it'd be fine. put some of those ramshackle hillichurl wooden platforms out there with chests and add more smaller islands to explore besides the big main ones. let the player fish on the boat. there's a ton of things you could do with that and instead they chose nothing

I dorked with it a bit. Had a rough start because I tried exactly that and it doesn't work, especially with the ruin guard healing on the first zone. Basically it's the same as before, only cards are your upgrades and (afaict) there doesn't seem to be an upper limit. I just got 0/20 on the third map blind by building two money towers flanked by lightning and eventually a few spaced pyro for overload. Then spam nothing but lightning upgrades. Just mash through the cards until your towers are all chaining for stupid amounts of damage while also stunning/slowing/whatever. I only upgraded my fire towers once for aoe range and every other point went into lightning. It's... pretty dumb.  Edit: And if they won't let you upgrade electro that map, use pyro towers that upgrade into orbital laser bombardment. Mailer fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Aug 12, 2021 |

A 20% elemental damage bonus is far from "nothing". "Nothing" is an exaggeration, but it needs way too many things to align to have a significant effect. Like you said, it's finicky to swirl the right element. On top of that, its uptime is really low, ~8s on an 80-cost burst. And when you do manage to trigger it in the right circumstances, you need to be fighting something big enough that the damage buff even matters.

What am I doing wrong? I literally can't hit the cicin mage on abyss floor 12 with ayaka. She has like a 90% change to blink away before her burst animation finishes. I tried freezing her but she gets unfrozen in the time it takes for ayaka to cast her burst, if I get her in Venti's ult, she will blink out of it in the middle, or she'll get electro infused and again blink out of it.

You gain, roughly, 7.5 wishes a month if you can 36* spiral abyss both times. There's a lot that goes into that - good characters, great artifacts, 5* weapons, chasing cards, etc. C1 Fischl isn't what is standing in your way of doing this. On average, over time, you're just better off wishing. That might not be the fun option for you so feel free to ignore it. It's only something you start feeling out later when you're limited by lack of <insert 5* here> and you just pulled C15 Fischl.

You kind of have to weigh "do I want to wait potentially months until I get the C2/C6 on Ning" vs. the extra poo poo over a longer time period. I'd personally buy units I really want to use who have game changing constellations (like Ning) and use/save the rest but that will depend a lot on what ypu want to do.
