SiKboy posted: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. It could be a *very* long haul though. I have been playing since release and still only have the c0 bennett I bought from the shop the first time he was available (probably buying c1 this month). never ever bet on having good luck in a gacha, go for the sure thing imo Andrast fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Nov 11, 2021 |

i spent starglitter on C1 Bennett and regret nothing. I'm saving my other starglitter for C6 Noelle if I don't get her before February.

super sweet best pal posted: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. It’s also the only reliable way to get constellations for the free characters.

the idea that i have to spend 3 years managing the gacha scraps for a C6 Amber has become insulting to me, so i don't do it if the constellation i can buy is actually the one i want, then i'll do it. sorry C3 Amber, C3 Kaeya etc etc

Starglitter's cool, it's good to know that I have until March before I'll want it for anything yet (or later, if XQ pops up on another banner between now and then).

Any idea how viable a 4 geo gorou/itto team will be for abyss? I'm imagining they won't be able to deal with shields so it just won't be a thing.

I'm imagining they won't be able to deal with shields so it just won't be a thing. i don't think they're even designing around it being a thing, Gorou's benefits cap out at 3 geos and he interacts with crystallize. the 2.3 abyss buffs also have a phase centered around crystallize shards. granted they made 2.3 abyss have nothing with a shield geo can't handle, and floor 12 is just a pick your poison between geo rifthounds or geovishap. if shields come back as an issue, yeah it affects them unless they give uniquely strong geo application (which we don't know) to Itto or something.

They should gently caress over the balance in the game and let you buy six of whichever character is in the Starglitter shop.

Ah, nice, last time I read honey it looked like you needed 4 geo for gorous's skill, 3 is way easier. Now to hope zhong gets another rerun before 2024. Edit: I'm still just scarred by the drat abyss heralds/lectors when I ran a eula team on one side and a razor team on the other.

You don't really need elemental damage to deal with a Cryo Cicin Mage. Just enough AoE to kill the bugs.

Anno posted: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. You should use stardust (the common one) up ASAP on buying the 10 rolls per month from the shop. There's nothing else worth spending it on. For starglitter save it imo until you have at least one copy of all the starglitter-buyable characters that you want. In the starglitter shop rotation are Fischl, Beidou, Ningguang, Xingqiu, Razor, and Bennett, plus some other characters who you already got for free. Of those Bennett and Xingqiu are the most must-have characters, so absolutely save for them before you spend all your starglitter on rolls. For the rest of the characters it's just personal preference whether you want them, basically. Don't bother spending it on weapons though. Just use the craftable ones.

They should add the Wanderlust Invocation 5* characters to the glitter shop rotation for something like 5x the cost of the 4* characters. Guarantee yourself one eventually but you'd have to save up for a while if you aren't swiping a lot on the limited banners already.

Maybe it’s the Stockholm Syndrome setting in, but I’m oddly enjoying this game as sort of a resource management simulator. I’m never going to pay more than the Welkin and maybe the premium BP, so I never see myself paying primogems for resin, so it seems like there’s going to be a lot of prioritizing what characters I want to level/gear, weapons to level etc. It’s like an incredibly long Binding of Isaac run - kinda just have to work with what you get and make the most of it.

I finally read the Energy Recharge page on the Genshin wiki in detail and literally just realized that what Energy Recharge does is increase the amount of energy that particular character heals from all sources of energy, and it does not make the character's elemental skill produce more particles or make their particles give more energy to teammates. What this means for me and what I've not been doing right is that I've been thinking that building ER on supports would help out the amount of Energy that my carries would generate, but this is not actually true. It doesn't mean all that much for most of my teams as I've built ER on almost all the characters that traditionally want a lot of it anyways, except for Eula. My Eula has just built normal damage stats and this means despite me building up her supports with insane amounts of ER she doesn't actually get more energy from them. This helps explain a lot why my Eula has trouble charging her ult...

Ultima66 posted:This helps explain a lot why my Eula has trouble charging her ult... I think you need around 130% on eula if you have one other cryo battery like diona, rosaria, or kaeya. if you use two of them you can get away with 100%, but that can be painful without raiden e: I was way off. crtl-f "recommended ER" on this page: https://keqingmains.com/eula/ padijun fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Nov 12, 2021 |

I figured this out when I had characters like Bennet (and later Venti) who had ER as their substat and their ult just always seemed to be up. Now, it took me forever to realize that every character's energy generation was far from equal.

Some exciting leaks about the banners. Supposedly, we will be getting rerun banners -- a new kind of limited rate up character banners where two banners for two different 5* are up. These two banners will run concurrently, and these kind of banners will only feature rerun characters. These kinds of banners will never run concurrently with new 5* characters. Between these two different banners, pity is shared. Supposedly the first of its kind will feature Albedo and Eula running concurrently.

Yes, I do want everyone to temper their expectations. In the past, even some datamined things change at released. Nonetheless, I am sourcing this from https://twitter.com/lumie_lumie who is as trustworthy as you can get nowadays with Genshin leaks. There is also this leaked 2.3 abyss floor 11 disorder:  which was a bit of tell tale sign for a physical DPS to come back. Flair fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Nov 12, 2021 |

If they do bring banners like that in I’m just gonna start rolling every time I get enough for a 10. I’m at the point where I’d be happy to get any rerun/standard 5 and unless a new person is literally the best I’ll just pull on reruns forever. Besides, new people will be on reruns eventually

Glazius posted:I suggest not annihilating everything in your path? 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. What would keep happening is I would try to hit the weak points and sometimes it would seem to not work and it would just keep attacking the node, which does a ton of damage to the node very quickly, so I'd go "oh poo poo" and start attacking it a lot in the hopes that some of those attacks would actually make contact with the weak spots (this usually ended up working). I was using Yoimiya to hit weak spots, and her charged attacks also hit kind of hard. Maybe should have just stuck some low damage ranged person in my team.
