This event kind of confuses me. I have trouble telling when I'm hitting weaknesses on the ruin grader; sometimes it seems to work and other times it doesn't (and I'm aware that you can only do it when they're attacking the node things). I somehow managed to complete all objectives except "prevent the robot from going into regen mode," at least, though I'm not sure how to do that. Just avoid damaging the robot aside from shooting the weak points?

Yeah the "don't regen" thing is basically "let him live, kill other enemies, charge things, then murder him".

Yeah, just disable it/CC it and let the spikes charge up while not actively murdering the robot

I'm having a theory crafting idea. Could Eula do well with Blizzard Strayer and Cryo resonance and stacking her crit damage sky high to take advantage of that or would it be too much work and better to just stick to Gladiator and Pale Flame?

Sanctum posted:How do you kill the hydro cube in under 5 minutes? Keep in mind you can intercept that little health orb that heals it to heal yourself and stop it from healing the boss. My hydrocube one cycle is Hu Tao, amber, XL and, Bennet. When boss is first vulnerable, Hu Tao it. Then drop XL's bear and the baron bunny by the slime by the healing slime. You should have a bit of time to whack the hydro cube with Bennet afterwards, but it's a short vulnerability phase. The next time it's vulnerable, you can take it out with Hu Tao. The hydro healing slimes can be taken out with a combination of XL's bear, bennet skill / ult, and amber's ranged shots. Amber or XL's ult also help make short work of them.

Probably too much trouble, since you generally want Electro on your team for superconduct, and nearly every source of that is going to be stripping Cryo regularly. Maybe Sara won't be too disruptive, but is whatever else she brings gonna be worth it?

thanks to all the complaints about the event, it wasn't so bad. don't think the final phase was particularly interesting as far as gameplay goes, though i did like the new prospecting gadget stuff rather than using the treasure seelie.RareAcumen posted:I'm having a theory crafting idea.

Hydrocube slimes gets clowned on by any two cryo characters. Ayaka should be able to kill each slime with a single infused charge attack. Kaeya's E is a one-shot. Ganyu, of course, is a one shot. Rosaria and Popsicle Boy's fields stop the slimes. It's almost as fast as Kokomi soloing pyrocube, you just need to use the right attacks.

Sanctum posted:How do you kill the hydro cube in under 5 minutes? It has two separate slime-summoning moves. One where it spawns normal unimportant boss-add slimes that just hover around the edges of the arena and heal it, and one where it actually dies and splits into 3 very important death-slimes that slowly move back towards the center. You're probably killing 2/3 death slimes and then getting confused when it creates the healer slimes or something. If you can't kill all three death-slimes in one rotation with your current team, try bringing a cryo archer like Aloy and just stand in the center spinning and charge shotting each one once. Apparently some AOE abilities (Zhongli's meteor in particular) can oneshot all three at once if you wait for them to get close enough to the center. RareAcumen posted:I'm having a theory crafting idea.

The shatter mechanic kinda fucks over Eula and Chongyun from being able to do blizzard strayer freeze teams. Hitting a frozen enemy with a claymore (or geo, or certain other things like plunge attacks) "shatters" them, breaking them free and doing some lovely amount of bonus damage (scaling with EM). You could still get 20% crit for free just from the cryo-application part if you ignore freeze entirely but I dunno if that's worth it at that point.

If you simultaneously charge the spinners you should be able to hold back long enough to keep the robot from dropping to 0 HP. When it's all yellow and glowy it stops caring about the spinners, too, so that should make it easier.

Hah yeah same here. Going in expecting it to be horrible helps. First try was total chaos and I think I only managed one of the goals, but it only took 2 more to get them all. Fischl should really be a reward for completing the first phase of the event, nofisching must be nofun and clunky.

As a new player should I be using my starglitter (I think? The limited one) one more rolls or saving it for specific cards? My completely uneducated guess would be more rolls unless I’m looking to obtain or get more constellations on a specific character I really want, but idk for sure.

Well drat, there goes my one idea ever. Now to sweat over trying to get the Staff of Homa or doing the smart thing and not. I got Eula's greatsword from her banner and never did any rolls on the weapon banner aside from when I was new and not sure what I should've been doing probably. So, if the first 5* on that banner is a 50/50 win then it'd be a guarantee that I'd get it if I was willing to put in the 90 rolls.... Also I already have Zhongli and he'd appreciate it too as far as I know.

It's fine to buy staple characters like Bennett or Xingqiu if you don't have them, but generally yes you're right. When I started I didn't believe people when they said buying rolls was better long-term, but after a year of playing daily I've seen rolls wasted on hitting too many Beidous and Ningguangs, whose cards I bought for starglitter early on I guess if you see yourself playing daily long-term, avoid buying cards? If you're not playing daily you won't regret the cost of the cards for a long, long time

Yeah the weapons gave me some pause. But ultimately I have so little at this point that getting a couple decent weapons might not be bad? The few 4* weapons I’ve picked up so far seem to have good power outside of just big numbers, usually by facilitating faster burst energy. Makes characters more fun.

In general neither blackcliffs or royals are worth a whole lot, they're not exceptionally good weapons. If you roll Xiao and don't want to buy the battle pass you can consider the blackcliff pole, otherwise you can do well enough without them.

In terms of saving starglitter vs hoarding it, personal preference. There have only ever been 12 four star characters buyable in the shop, but we're hoping more rotate in some day:  I still like hoarding it because I can though, I have 250 but earlier on bought Razor C0, Noelle C6, and Amber C4.

My completely uneducated guess would be more rolls unless I’m looking to obtain or get more constellations on a specific character I really want, but idk for sure. The only thing I'll say add to this is that it seems like, long term you're correct, if there's a specific character in there that you want constellations for then saving up the glitter to buy them is probably the most economical way to go about it. There aren't many characters that require constellations at all but i.e Noelle's C6 is a huge damage boost that makes her viable to use as a tanky DPS and she turns up in that shop from time to time. In the near term you can just buy rolls because early on it's the best way to get anything at all, but it's something to keep in mind as you play. Outside of characters or wishes I would not buy anything in that shop.

The big thing about the characters on starglitter rotation is a lot of them are worth having and worth having constellations of. If I had twelve more starglitter I'd C1 Benny right now.

Hoarding starglitter is what got me Raiden c2. Saving it up to go all in on a banner can work. That said for a new player Bennet and Xingqiu are worth picking up. And it's the only realistic road to build up Kaeya, Lisa, and Amber if you just love them.

My take on starglitter is; Over a long period of time, buying rolls is almost certainly better. But, I very much doubt I'll still be playing this game in a year (I just dont tend to stick with a game that long tbh!) and in the short term its better to have Bennett than not to have Bennet (or Xiangiu). I've bought a couple of constellations (I think Fischl and Kaeya, maybe Razor as well but I couldnt swear to that) because Fischl and Kaeya were on team "Kill the loving oceanid" and Razor was my main DPS for a long rear end time, and they are all much better with constellations (and the nature of RNG does mean that I've put 60-odd wishes into a banner with certain 4-stars and not pulled them once). Dont regret doing it. Sure, if I'm still playing in another 8 months or whatever and I get a seventh fischl then technically the one constellation I spent starglitter on was... Actually still not wasted. Because I had it now and it made killing the oceanids loving birds (and assorted other flying poo poo) quicker and easier. So, if you are in for the long haul, spend you starglitter on rolls. But if you want to spend it on a character (or constellation) you want to have now instead of whenever the RNG decides to throw them to you, thats also totally fine. If you are free to play then any starglitter you have was also free. Dont worry about it, you'll get more eventually anyway.
