Really enjoying playing Raiden with Klee. Doing Overloaded every bomb throw is fun. Da da da.

Its cool. I hope burning + her strong pyro applications will be enough fuel for constant overloads.

But now would be good.

For some reason I feel like the statement "you will feel the same way about Fischl's GAA quests as you do about Kingdom Hearts" is accurate. Not a fan, personally

e: Once you get past the puzzles the ending was pretty cute though

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

Does anyone have a preferred YouTube channel or playlist for watching the cutscenes from old events? I'd like to see all the things I missed, but I keep finding videos where they keep all the running around and fighting for some reason, or else they include story quests that I did myself and don't need to rewatch.

Lots of people say stuff like, going to 90 isn't worth it, crowning skills isn't worth it, it takes X days of resin for a ~5% damage boost. But I gotta say, when the info about the new strongboxes leaked I changed gears to full artifact farming mode to get 5* fodders. In that time all that I accomplished from a hard numbers perspective was marginally strengthening my 4th strongest severed fate set.

So I'll say, at some point getting to 90 and crowning has to be the most efficient use of resin. Especially considering that you get a decent amount of exp books for free from various sources.

It's inefficient, but yeah if you have nothing else to spend your resin on then you might as well.
But you could also use that to level and gear up a new character you haven't used before etc etc so it depends on how much you value variety vs improving the one team you're married to.

The thing is you can actually hit an endpoint for XP and Skills, Artifacts are an evergrind. So once you have alright Artifacts it is way more useful to just cap out the other stuff.

Also generally when people talk about efficient Resin they are talking about when you are first getting a team together.
So it is about what order do you do each thing to get the most power out of limited resources. But at some point you can do any of it in any order cause you have 12 already set characters to carry the one you are putting resources into.

Really it just a matter of do you want to put the time/resources in.

Also once you have decent on-set artifacts leveling up is more efficient than artifacts IMO. There's some characters who get next to nothing from leveling or talent levels, like Gorou, but by and large getting 5% more crit rate isn't gonna be worth as much. And speaking personally while you can 36 star abyss with level 60/70 characters, the extra HP to not get two-shot by the big samurai sure makes it way less annoying to do so.

I managed to drop the game for the first time just before they gave everyone a free diona and now her and kuki are the only 4-stars I don't have.
It stings extra hard because she's like the only useful / must-have 4-star released post-launch.

I got Klee and I'm hoping to get a Kazuha before the banner ends. I won't, but I'm still rolling on it for the next 8 days. I'm running out of resin trying to level and gear all these characters, though.

They're saying Diona is good, not Kuki. (Diona is good because she's a healer, shielder, and cryo applier/battery and doesn't require much finesse, gear, or on-field time.)

kuki will be good when dendro comes out because electro is getting huge buffs with dendro and shes the only electro healer

gandlethorpe
Aug 16, 2008

:gowron::m10:
Dori will be able to heal too, but probably not as well since it's only on her (80 cost) burst.

Shinobu's interesting because they clearly designed her with Dendro's release in mind, what with her EM scaling. But for a version or so she gets to be really mediocre, if filling a previously empty niche. And then once Dendro comes out, she'll no longer be the only Electro healer.

Speaking of healers, when are they gonna let Barbara, Noelle, and Qiqi generate energy particles?

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

honestly half the inazuma cast seems designed with 3.0 in mind. ayato's hp scaling makes more sense with the new hydro resonance, yae has the random em scaling due to dendro resonance, kuki exists, thoma will probably work better with the new craftable 'basically thrilling tales' spear.

For those who care about beta leaks, Tighnari got giga-buffed. His charge attack after skill use is now .9 seconds faster - ie, he gets (half of) his C6 for free now!!! Most impactful buff I've ever seen in a beta. I don't think this is actually an enormous power level increase but he'll be fun to use now.

My Yanfei went from a C0 to a C7 during the last banner so I feel that.

Like, I don't think I've pulled any of the 4 stars on this banner at all. It's been Kazuha, Qiqi, bunch of 4 star weapons and an Amber, and that's it

Yeah I was iffy on her at first but she's actually dope. Near 100% uptime on her healing (actually 100% with C2) and it ticks at a quick rate. Plus it's not locked into a stationary AoE. Makes her a super comfy healer.

Dendro will only make her better.

His charge attack and skill are both pretty good at knocking people away and his burst's solid at knocking people up, like obnoxiously up while you want to keep punching them.
