Weird moment: if you disconnect while fishing and exit the fishing "event", you can see that the way that it works is by temporarily making a 5 person party, assigning Lumine/Aether to slot 5, and equipping them with a fishing rod as their "weapon". When you're out of the fishing event, you can use the "cast" button to swing the fishing rod around, which uses the NA animation. Unfortunately, there were no enemies around for me to try to whap with the fishing rod, and also I didn't think to try opening the character menu to see the fishing rod's stats (if it had any). I don't think you can open that menu when you're trying to reconnect anyway? The way they rig this stuff up sure is something

Mailer posted:Eh, C6 Sara stapled to carry Raiden is a thing... which yeah makes her the Gorou of the worst element. At least she has a place (albeit limited) which is more than I can say for Xinyan or Thoma. I guess Thoma I can at least squint and think some day his shield will be useful. Xinyan's shield is already better because it doesn't have any jank to maintain it, apart from hitting 2 enemies with the E. Her burst does a ton of work with C2, applying a total of 9 Pyro units (4 nearly instantly), shielding, and doing a non-trivial amount of damage. My best use for her is helping clear the Blizzard Strayer domain quickly, with XL/Raiden/Kokomi. The situation is really suited to her niche, with exactly 2 enemies that spawn close to each other, Cryo shields to break, and the Lawachurl that's best fought while shielded. She's also one of the few effective Millileth users. Like, she doesn't really excel at anything, but she can get the job done and has a decent amount of utility. Her main problem is how saturated Pyro is with strong units.

Xinyan would be fine as either electro or cryo. Some of her kit leaning toward physical DPS with the rest leaning toward defense/support is just stupid as a pyro unit. It means you have to "waste" two other character slots to proc superconduct to make her damage meaningful, and her "defense" scales poorly enough that it's not worth building for exclusively. She's just an incredibly poorly designed character in every way. Even her hairstyle looks stupid. And I say this as someone who took her to 90 just because.

I'm a Thoma-user in one of my main parties, but I'm not about to defend him as suddenly super usable or super misunderstood, he just happens to be the best option for what I'm using him for and there isn't really another unit that could replace him

The real problem with Xinyan is that the game doesn't just ignore whatever sword you give her and have her swing around her lute. e. For the first part of the mud quest, do you get some sort of bonus if you actually kill all the enemies before time expires? I had a few left before time was up, and I was genuinely surprised to see that the game was cool with that. Well, I assume I had some left, but I didn't actually see the "goals" up on the screen until there was about 10s left, so I'm not entirely sure what it wanted from me.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Started playing this not too long ago. Any way to get my casters to target the stupid geo cube rather than the pillars its hovering above? You basically need to kill the pillars to be able to damage that boss. The only characters who can do decent damage to geo constructs are claymore or geo characters. So Noelle, a geo claymore who you get guaranteed from the newbie banner, is one of the best in the game for it. Her giant range sword attacks during her burst are great in the last phase when you need to break all 3 mini-pillars in time too. Damage to constructs and shields is entirely based on element and weapon type and ignores all other stats like level/damage/etc so you can pull her out even at level 1 to break the pillars and swap to another character to do damage afterwards. Just uh don't get hit. Tae posted:so self-proclaimed Genshin killer [Tower of Fantasy] has an open beta and it is.....pretty bad. Combat is absolutely not a draw, it feels tedious in a bad way, there's about 100x more clicking poo poo because it's an actual MMO and there's like 5 currencies for different gacha banners for some reason. I played a bit of the Chinese beta a while back and I found the combat pretty fun! You can juggle enemies mid air, doublejump and airdash mid combo, all that good stuff, and each weapon has a nice variety of different normal attack strings so you're not just spamming one attack string all the time when your abilities/ultimate are off cooldown. The dodge also feels a lot more like a satisfying action-game dodge than genshin, complete with a witch-time effect for dodging at the last second. (And it doesn't share a stamina bar with your heavy attacks! Praise be!) But some weapons like the hammer and bow felt a lot more one-dimensional. However the game seems a lot more pay-to-win and gacha hell with the gearing system. It has farmable stuff that's kinda like Genshin artifacts without set bonuses but then it has a separate gear system that looks like little circuit chips, IDK what it's called in English. The SR chips are farmable but the SSR ones with the most powerful set effects are gacha-only, and of course you need to gacha a matching set for 2 or 4 different slots. Kinda like Genshin's 5-star weapons I guess? But a lot more powerful.

While throwing a few rolls to try and get Shinobu (who I didn't get, and won't get because I'm not going to risk getting another Itto), I got C6 Goro, which is really nice. 40% crit damage on my Itto who crits with almost every attack is a pretty big deal (though I can't see that buff in Itto's character sheet after using Goro's skills; does it not show up there?).

All that defense plus her C6 and shield also makes Xinyan good at killing time if Eula has low hp and Diona's burst is on cooldown. Plus she buffs physical damage! She's also a stronger physical DPS than Keqing aside from the team building constraints, and that was a thing people did for a while. . . . Okay yes she kind of sucks but she fills a very specific niche in my Eula team (Fire! Phys buff! Extra shield if Diona is on the team, only shield if Qiqi is! Not made of glass!) but mostly she has an axe that is also an axe, a drum that makes noise, and she yells "shred til I'm dead" while playing guitar and fire bursts out.

While I was strictly speaking about competition for group selection in abyss, the fact that she's explicitly rockabilly instead of rock/metal ruined any value she had to me.

In my experience it's distance, generally. If you're too close, the missiles track you perfectly and you'll get dunked. After a second or two of travel time, they stop tracking entirely and you can dodge em easy.

He does do an AoE geo damage pulse as well, which will damage the last pillar a bit.

When you encounter specters, they kinda operate on the same principal. Use some distance and dash perpendicularly to where they're coming from. Much less reliable if you're in melee range, though.

His burst lets him shatter them in one combo each. Specifically the ones at the end, not the first five.

Chernobyl Peace Prize posted:It definitely feels like, 2 seconds too short for feeling "good" especially if you spend a chunk of it in 5* burst cutscene animation locks (but maybe it's my fault for rotating Bennet Q > Kaz Q > Ayato Q, E when the serpent falls over). Just have to set it up right, if you stand by the two crystals you can break with one Gadget use the Serpent will come out of the ground pretty close to you so you can drop a bunch of those while it gets in position and just start the actual damage when you Stun it.

I'm not really sure how the ruin serpent works just that he teleports around and is annoying if you let him. As others have said, you can take off over half his health before it even burrows with Hu Tao + XQ (might need Sayu to close the gap before he burrows.) Ruin serpent isn't hard or anything so you won't need any particular team to clear him. Use whatever works best, try something that doesn't require multiple bursts in the same window. He's a lot less troublesome than something like thunder manifestation or the wolflord.

You dodge around break the light crystal until it tries to absorb the mud blobs and then you break them and wail on it till it gets back up. That's what I did in my preemptive Yelan, Kuki and Heizou farming at least.

What's with mihoyo and bosses that make you wait around doing nothing?
