Hey everyone falling for conspiracy theories, heads up. The Yae stuff comes from this amazing thing:



And the thing about her kit being changed because of so and so artifact blah blah is ACTUALLY comically obvious backpedaling after being proven to be comically wrong about literally everything.

No, that's not even remotely related. If you think its just a conspiracy, then what about the artifacts that are in the game, right now? With descriptions and designs that make sense for their respective characters? Or Yae's own unsynergistic design?

I remember seeing that image back in the past too, and it was incredibly obvious many of them were wrong, especially Yae doing dual-elemental DPS, since no character was going to do that. That was not what I was referring to when I recalled a leak mentioning Yae as an on-field DPS. If you think the CN community is getting fooled from that one EN-leaker's random listicle of nonsense, then I've got news for you.

That leak is fake but people are falling for it mass. Already, 2 out of every 4 out of 5 Genshin Impact players refuse to believe that Finland is real or that Forrest Gump was just a movie and book and not a historical document made into a movie.

Either way, I hope he pops up in the Chasm, spouts something that sounds like a dumb conspiracy theory like "You know how the moon is the corpse of a long dead god right? Well wait until you hear about the Sun!" then just fucks off with no further explanation until Sumeru.

Finally managed to do the full Abyss :toot:
It only took uh... 64 battles but it's done.

One thing that's unfortunate about the mechanics for this game is that it's hard to get incremental improvements in most cases since everything hinges on rotations and boss patterns. Either you get a whole cycle faster or you get nothing, especially for things like the Perpetual Mechanical Array. At least for the heralds/lectors you can experiment and feel like you're making progress with just tactical improvements.

you should get that xiangling to A6 and upgrade her burst to 9 (12), it'll make her team significantly more potent and shave off precious seconds you can use as a buffer

but good job on the 36*, hopefully the next one goes easier with some more upgrades

It doesn't really work with her. Raiden's E doesn't really deal damage, Beidou's Q deals ridiculously enormous damage. The comp is basically just about enabling Beidou with Xingqiu thrown in because his multipliers are op and his burst has the same condition for dealing damage as Beidou's (plus he heals).

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

It’s mostly the Yoimiya Overload comps that people usually run her with don’t have the single target damage that Hu Tao Vape does, and have unreliable and low AoE damage. I play both pretty often, and for spread out trash that isn’t easily grouped by Kazuha, Yoi outperforms C1 Hu Tao. On single targets, Hu Tao dominates.

Ah. I almost certainly totally misremembered this then and conflated it with the "[King/Queen] of Darkness" that shows up every time the BP rewards restart. As such, it's probably the same line for both travelers.


Finally having some free time to play the event and happily downing the better part of a six-pack while doing so probably didn't help my memory retention in those matters.

Raiden would not work efficiently since Sucrose is the character with the most uptime in that team, and Raiden's dps relies on her being on the field. XQ, Fischl, and Beidou are all there for their elemental skill and burst and then I switch off to Sucrose to do damage.

For sucrose, you don't need to level up her talents. Just level her up to 89/90 and get 4 VV focused on main and substats of EM (though the artifacts is the hard part but I assume your Kazuha already has that).

Has anyone had any lag in swapping characters in the Spiral Abyss? For some weird reason, my second team had a ton of lag when switching characters and damage numbers were super delayed. It happened to my second team pretty consistently, but only once to my first team. I went back out and just spammed swap character and everything was working fine.

I've done five of the weekly bosses today and I feel like the drop rate is worse because I'm only getting one type of material from them instead of two or three. But I did get a spear prototype. I need more claymores since I took the Whiteblind up to R5 so I wouldn't worry about swapping the Stonethresher back and forth between Itto and Noelle as much.

It'd be nice to get another bow at some point. They keep making new archers and I've been stuck at 3 prototypes for I don't know how long.

Oh does anything unlock from Yae's story quest? I've kinda been putting it off.

I use ER sands, 158 to 170 ER (don't remember exact number) with Fischl and it feels good. I'm not tempted to use less. I also own a wolf's gravestone tho so have plenty of atk to go around.

I go for ER sands, though it's more about the stats as a whole. Since I have fischl and I trust in my perfect counters, I go for 140 ER with near 0 ER substats to have a 70/140 crit ratio.

I remember you saying before that you ran Fischl with Milileth. I think I need to do the same. That should make up the difference in the attack drop. I had a good roll today with near 100% uptime with Beidou and it felt godly.

I use atk sands, but tend to choose artifacts with some ER substats over similar pieces, even if they have lower crit and attack substats. I think she ends up at around 140-150 ish ER?

i'm pretty sure like any other elemental thing you need to react with the electro cicin shield to weaken it. infamous never-user of electro and i have never had issues taking it down without needing to wait much of it out.

e: wiki confirms, apparently it's 8 GU of electro but since it decays quickly you should only need a couple strong elemental applications to break it

You mean the Mode Immunity or not removing the Mage Shield?
The immunity is strictly to Electro Charged Reaction damage not Electro in general and the shield works like any element shield so electro does noting much to it.

Her Immunity is mostly so she can Burst anywhere in the vicinity of Water and not gently caress herself over

Anybody here have any first hand experience with the Rosaria/Shenhe/Xiangling/Bennett reverse melt comp? I'm working on a thing and I realized that I've been brute forcing everything with the Shenhe C1 that I ended up pulling, so I don't actually know the best rotation (whoops). It's kind of a huge nightmare trying to sync up everyone's CDs seeing as how nobody matches with anybody else. I kinda wanna give up and pin everything to a 20 second rotation honestly.
