every boss that isn't in a domain should have a teleporter like 10 feet from their arena and it's so strange that mihoyo didn't think of that before launch. they're a lot better about it now at least also idg why domains spawn you so far from the actual arena that you'll run out of stamina trying to run to the start point. why do it like that?

It’s not the fragments that slow me down, it’s the Basalt Pillars. Only drops 2-3 at a time and isn’t craftable. It’s the worst. I don’t even have Noelle at C6 yet, I’m just preparing for when I do. Ningguang is rad tho.

I have Ningguang at C4, and she seems very weak. Is she really a strong carry? Frankly I just don’t understand what makes characters really good or not— is it their burst/skill synergizing with others? Do some have really good base stats or something?

jokes posted:I have Ningguang at C4, and she seems very weak. Is she really a strong carry? You're already playing Ning at literally half speed if you don't walk-cancel her normals. At c2 which is the minimum you need for her to be a true carry, she's a self sufficient ult spammer with a second geo on the team. Geo resonance gives super strong damage boost, and her usual game plan is Skill hitting someone-->walk through for damage boost->attack rotation with walk cancel->charge attack->Ult->skill again due to C2.

I'm kinda hoping at some point they'll add some kind of hub that lets you directly teleport to the bosses. That would also double as a way for new players to actually ascend newer characters who require drops from later locations. Just put some kind of barrier around the arena for them so they can't go exploring.

jokes posted:I have Ningguang at C4, and she seems very weak. Is she really a strong carry? upsides: she does aoe damage at c2, she can spam her ult with the right setup, her gates hit for ~25k aoe damage and can occasionally be spammed again downsides: her crystals from her ult and c6 tend to fly off or run into architecture, considering they're the bulk of her damage it feels like poo poo when half of them hit zhongli's pillar or her own gate. I guess where it really matters (domains and the abyss) it's not as bad since they're all flat planes without a ceiling. she also needs a shielder and second geo to be effective.

Ning just takes a lot of investment to get running in general, so trying her out without putting in the work first is gonna feel bad, yeah. She doesn't have any good f2p weapon options if you missed Dodoco Tales, so you either need to get lucky with 4*s or spring for a Solar Pearl, and more than even most other carries she really really wants all three of her talents leveled. Not to mention needing to build up a second geo to support her.

padijun posted:upsides: she does aoe damage at c2, she can spam her ult with the right setup, her gates hit for ~25k aoe damage and can occasionally be spammed again Why do you say she needs a shielder? Yeah Crystallize is pretty useless for actual defensive shields but it works just fine for the "have literally any shield no matter how lovely" requirement of geo resonance, and Ning makes way more crystallize shards than she can use if you have any elemental sub-dps hitting stuff. It just happens that one of the most busted units in the game is a geo shielder so everyone who has him runs them together. But she'll also work fine with Albedo and later Gorou, or even as a sub-dps for main-dps Itto. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Oct 29, 2021 |

I regularly put a temporary teleport point on the island with the Geo Hypostasis when I've needed to grind it for this reason since it's so far removed from the closest teleport point and across a body of water. kirbysuperstar posted:As a dutiful maid should. Speaking of whom, I've never quite understood why one of the popular reads of Noelle is as a yandere character. As far as I've been able to tell she's pretty much played straight personality wise and the whole "gap moe" thing they're going for is just this dimwitted easily taken advantage of meek girly girl with contrasting monstrous strength that she is of course largely oblivious to how abnormal it is. The only thing I can think of is her one hangout ending where she's oblivious to the foreigner guy that's up to no good and trying to offer him the best hospitality while you are going around sabotaging it and trying to drive him away so he get's the wrong idea about her and runs away at the end.

This is a good point, and not to mention the necessity of talent books. There are solutions to this problem too, but it would definitely take more than no effort for them to implement. Since you'd still want to give people who aren't new reasons to gather stuff from the new areas.

No Wave posted:As.a side note, I personally cant find a reason to say ningguang is especially good. The only time i've seen her excel was during vagabond sword when there was a flying boss she could freely target. She's a good secondary geo character for resonance/energy generation with her C2. The only cheap options in that role right now are Noelle, who doesn't really do the job at all, and geo traveller, who... is theoretically really good in the role but kind of a pain in the rear end. She also works as a main dps pretty well if you get used to how her attacks work, but she's not incredible in that role. I've done abyss floor 12 9-star clears with parties around her before, but she's not gonna just crush stuff the same way Xiangling does with Childe or Xingqiu. I wouldn't recommend using her like that unless you have another good geo character to support her with, like Albedo or (obviously) Zhongli.

Is Geo traveler the only source of a placable thing you can climb on (or act as a weight)?I generally keep Traveler as Geo in the Geo area because of that, but actually using it in combat is extremely frustrating (outside of the burst which rules). I wish I could just easily detonate the Geo globes somehow for aoe damage, then it’d be a lot better

Diluc's a fun character to use early because his skill-aa-weaving is the only way to hit stuff with a claymore without wanting to die. And then I see videos of what Itto's attack string looks like (even the burst's atk-spd-locked version) and I'm like, ok, bye wine Batman.

Noelle and Diluc fill the same role with different supports, I don't think it's crazy to compare them. Diluc can do more damage but hogs the two best supports to do so, Noelle has huge energy requirements but a few big advantages (aoe, healing, and geo resonance). I think they're two of the better designed characters in the game so I have both pretty built, but both are fairly weak compared to the heavy hitters.
