gorou on the kuki banner is perfect, I missed him last time so may as well roll for both of the 4* I don't have

If there were a way to guarantee a roll by like, putting in 40$ instead of leaving it up to chance, I would recommend it! I have all three of those, Noelle, Itto, and his great sword and I'm quite happy with it!

You're almost guaranteed a 5 star if you put in $200. They don't promise you poo poo in terms of 4 stars, though.

The current price for a specific on-banner 5* is (a maximum of) USD $444, assuming the mark buys in $100 chunks. Mihoyo would never sell a character for just $40, 4* or not.

gently caress me, my math is wrong. That was if you had the top up bonus. Without it, it's more like $300+ for a good chance at getting it... but not a guarantee!

Without the first-time bonus, $100 gets you 8080 primogems or 50.5 rolls.
It takes 180 rolls to guarantee the on-banner 5 star character so that makes $400 :eyepop:

You’re pretty statistically unlikely to go 90 twice. I know its not guaranteed, but you’ll most likely get them in 150 + a bit of change.

At this rate I'm more tempted to buy primos just to stamina refresh because I just want a goddamn Crit Damage hat for Xiao. :shepface:

It's time to give up. Just cook Diluc's food and hope you get the special one that boosts crit damage while you work on fighting the Geovishap instead.

Could be worse:



4/5 artifacts at 20; cr rolls: 1, maybe 2

maybe when I'm done killing snakes (just 7–10 more times!) I can go fish up better bits. Not sure if I should go for tom bits (to replace the unleveled cd hat she's got on), or just go for full emblem. More pf is probably more useful than shimenawa, I don't think I have anyone who could possibly want that besides hu tao and like hell am I intentionally replacing my sorta crap cw stuff after the decade it took to get those.

That is the plus side at least, I've farmed out some decent artifacts besides the one piece that refuses to drop.



I'm just using an ATK% hat with whatever substats for right now.

I’ve got the same for Childe hat. I just can’t run BS domain anymore. Even running it for forever for Ayaka didn’t net me any go lets or headpieces worth a drat.

Edit: Newest drumalong thing was a little tougher than the previous ones. Only got like 4100 the first time and 4470 the second time (and kind of doubt I could consistently do much better than that).

It's a good rhythm game, at least on mobile. Feels intuitive and the controls go well with the music.

Hyper Inferno posted:

Yelan has appreciable energy recharge problems without something helping her, so it's all about finding a good balance on being able to ult on cooldown and being able to generate the energy to do so reliably.

This is probably the biggest impact her C1 has had - it just completely eliminates any energy problems. Her ult is usually up long before cooldown finishes, to the point where I'm debating replacing her ER% artifact with an HP% one (though it's a bit hard to figure out due to the artifact set giving a damage buff proportional to ER%).

It seems significantly better than it might appear on paper, since in practice she's usually regained both charges by the time you next use her skill (so it effectively almost doubles how often you use it). And the skill itself isn't too shabby; it hits for around 25-30k now with regular non-vape crits. Once I farm up enough of that newer artifact set to replace Shimenawa's (which basically prevents me from using Yoimiya's burst, or at least makes it hard), it might be easier to vape those skill hits for really big damage (I occasionally but inconsistently do it sometimes now, and one of her skill casts will hit for like ~60k). I'm not sure how Yoimiya's burst interacts with vaping; whether the damage from the water attack triggering it does the vape or the other way around.

Don't think this got posted yet. She's definitely going to be 4 star Inazuma normal in terms of performance though I figure and not super meta. Also the internet can probably stop suggesting that every character that shows some skin is going to be altered somehow like I was hearing with Shinobu and her midriff. Just because Shenhe got tweaked because it didn't really make sense that her navel would be showing through her costume and the thing happened with the launch characters isn't much of a sign of a pattern.

It naturally rolled the shittiest substats in the world but I don't care I'm free. Thankfully I have a mystical on-set anemo goblet so I was able to take whatever Crit Damage hat I could find.

I believe it's just pulling publicly available data given it requires you to add characters to your profile showcase and make the specific info viewable in order to generate anything.

I would hope that if your UID alone could be used for anything nefarious, it wouldn't be stamped on your screen at all times. All it's doing is reading your public profile, it actually doesn't work if you have your character details hidden. efb

Immersion win! Maining Raiden really makes you feel like you're gazing balefully upon a world of fleeting desire! Spending so much resin just to improve a single character, how wasteful. The only domain you ever really need is severed fate, all others are momentary distractions (or whatever it is that she says when you open chests).
