That's why you gotta use the hold skill, so they come to you :eng101:

Speaking of things that are annoying to get, is there any use whatsoever for electro crystals besides that one inazuma request? Feels like those would be easier to feed into the transformer than those magic crystals.

I got those same two exact characters on my newbie banner!

Beidou has a fun mechanic where if you parry at just the right time, she counter strikes with one of the strongest single damage skill strikes in the game. Sadly, you'll have to build up her talent levels to see it.

She's also a top tier support in some teams, so it's never a bad idea to build her. You'll mostly want her ult, though the skill is nice for the reason I mentioned above

Apparently the invitations for the 3.0 beta have gone out so we should be getting the motherlode of leaks sometime in the next couple of months. I suppose the holy grail of leaks would be the Dendro Archon. I still remember when we got T-Pose leaks for characters like Shenhe and Yun Jin practically a year before they ever made it in game and Shenhe's design changed a fair bit over that time so clearly nothing is final.

Well I tried to make Diluc work but I just find Yanfei to run so much smoother. And the weapon choice and stat spread works out better. 55/150 Crit Stats with my Lost Prayer.

Anyways my new party of choice now is Yanfei/Yelan/Xingqiu/Zhongli. Just a massive waterfall of hydro damage and big booty vape charge attacks from Yanfei. :toot:

Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

Even with how his skill works in his attack strings, Diluc deals like half the damage he should for how slow his swings are, compared to basically any other pyro carry at this point. Couple that with an ult that loooooves to do the "haha I targeted the hilichurl behind that rock instead of the 8 guys right next to you" and I hate to say the first 5* I had, just will never see play again without the kind of attention from HYV he almost certainly won't get.

Fischl is also a fun character to slip in there if you feel you don't need Zhong Li's shields. Yanfei's charged attacks can also damage rocks.

Well, he's getting a skin. But that didn't do much for keqing either. On the plus side, Yelan is now in his best comp, but that's yelan's 80th best comp.

It's becoming a major problem. Emblem is so much better to farm than everything that my characters who don't use some combination of glad, noblesse, wanderer's, emblem, and shim havent seen improvements in 10 months. It's getting to the point where if a character doesnt use those sets I don't really want to pull them. Having some kind of control over the two sets you farm goes from QoL to kind of necessary with emblem+shim in the game. I cant even bring myself to farm a set as good as millelith.

Zwiebel
Feb 19, 2011

Hi!
Is there something wrong with the Millelith domain?
It's second set is, at least, decent and I've always cleared it much quicker than Emblem/Shimenawa. I'd argue Pale Flame is on par with Shimenawa at least, but maybe I just play too many physical characters.

It doesn't really have the same problem as VV/Crimson Witch/Thundering Fury where the second set is a bit niche or unusable, which can make a lot of runs a waste of time.

Is this one of those things where people just have a very specific setup that has trouble against the enemies there? I always thought it was one of the easier domains that nobody really had trouble with.

I frequently see people complain about the Noblesse/Bloodstained domain, but that one is kind of optional now and mostly a matter of being able to quickly shred the abyss mage shields.

i don't judge domains much on the set combinations because as good as you can say Emb/Shim (or BS/HoD etc) is, i have gotten barely anything out of there. CW domain just sucks because the way the waves spawn and how spaced out they are vs all these newer domains where you can basically instakill the room in 30 seconds. i would count Mill as a domain i like to farm even though PF is pretty useless imo (not a fan of physical).

though wrt Emb/Shim, not really a fan of lawachurls as domain enemies in general, they just fly all over the place rather than being convenient to kill. i suppose it could always be worse (rifthound).

Shenhe at least has interesting mechanics and is really powerful in her niche, however narrow it is.

I'd say Xiao, not that he's bad, he just doesn't add much to an account. Hypercarries are plentiful, and there's not really any incentive to run an Anemo one.

Shenhe gives extremely high damage to cryo teams and gives a large freeze area with her Burst. My last few months have been smooth because she gives so much free, fast damage to my team because it's flat increase.

Like, Xiao is far more skippable than Shenhe because he's a selfish hypercarry with little to no support to increase his power.

At C0, I don't even think she's that great at that role. The additive damage is really only in the most favorable circumstances, and isn't much greater than replacing her with another support character. If she had some healing or shielding or even just somewhat better damage numbers her value would sky rocket.

Albedo seems on the cusp, and you could probably include non-reaction DPS (Eula/Xiao/Itto) and powercrept pyros for the time being. but also anecdotally Ganyu has felt totally skippable to me so i think this stuff isn't easy to nail down.

I define skippable as "if you rolled them, you would never use them". Some 5 stars aren't meta, but they are very fun.

Ganyu always has an are where she shines, even if it's just taking out annoying enemies from afar.

C0 Shenhe allowed me to run triple Cryo/Kazuha versus the Floor 12 boss chambers, something I can't do easily with freeze, and is rather annoying to do with melt. The thing with her is that she scales off of the team's artifacts, so your mileage will vary wildly and building a team with her needs a bit more spreadsheet nerding.

An underacknowledged thing with her is that she's the "Gorou" of the most well-rounded element with tons of options for building a team. Anemo also pairs well with Cryo and similarly has a pretty balanced roster to choose from (though Kaz is still the best)

I got Yae but haven't built her because I was really pulling on that banner for Fischl constellations and only got 2. They would just kind of fill the same off-field DPS niche for my teams and I already have Fischl really built out.

At least next month Fischl should be in the shop for a guaranteed constellation.

Yae, Qiqi, and Keqing are the only 5*s that I have that are unused.

Hi!
Zhongli is invaluable if you play on mobile and everything else is skippable.

Shenhe rules, but she's probably the least useful for newer accounts. Unless they really like Chongyun. Then she's the best.

The only 5*s I don't have are Ayaka, Yoi, and Xiao. The only ones I use regularly are Kaz, Koko, ZL, Raiden, and Aloy (lol). I guess Albedo now.

I would say to qualify as unskippable, they'd need to provide a unique service that no one else can really come close to. Kazuha's the gold standard, ZL has his shield to let you ignore mechanics, Raiden's a universal battery and burst carry, Koko basically makes your team unkillable while having the best support element/weapon and can sometimes even fill in as a damage dealer.

I see yelan and kazuha as just way stronger than the others at C0, they are the 5 stars that are on the level of ease/flexibility/opness of Bennett/Xingqiu/FischlC6 where just adding them to random comps is correct most of the time.

Yelan also has the "one character commission clear" that Kazuha has, where using her skill and then popping her ult can clear most fight commissions.
