Also like Geo MC is so annoying to deal with. Giant spheres of rock are hard to fight around.

no new artifacts in 3.1. we only got new artifact sets in 2.3 and 2.6, so i assume it will be the same here, with 3.3 and 3.6.

depends who you have and what weapons you have, but the sumeru sword, claymore, and spear are very good. besides them, the prototype crescent and hamayumi are both solid f2p options, and the kitain cross spear is good on some characters.

Disclaimer here is that I only use Koko in freeze. There's probably room for her Q in taser or hyperbloom or whatever - I have zero idea. I was specifically talking about the rotation in a Ganyu/Ayaka/Venti/Kokomi team. She doesn't get field time there.

The two teams where I find she really shines are are Mono hydro Yelan/XQ/Kazuha/Kokomi and Kokomi taser Beidou/Fischl/Sucrose/Kokomi, in the first she's the driver, in the second she's the emergency carry when you're getting beaten up by floor 12 or need more time for cooldowns.

Another great combo is Raiden/Kokomi. You can full switch between Raiden burst and Kokomi burst and they both provide their respective element off field.

Don't underestimate Kokomi full hydro teams. Koko + Xingqui + Yelan + anemo. It's surprisingly powerful, I've done easy clears of abyss 12 with that team.

Kokomi also has amazing synergy with dendro jump pads. It might be a preview of how crazy she'll be with a strong dendro support.

Cool trick I'm only just learning is that Kokomi can snapshot her empowered jellyfish by casting E during Q and swapping before the first tick.

Theoretically, it can be maintained indefinitely with good timing, even if you aren't sophisticated and running her with Chong to shave 3 seconds off her cds. Though I imagine generating energy fast enough would be the harder part.

Should be a nice trick for squeezing extra damage in Abyss. Gonna have to figure out how to squeeze it into my rotation.

100%. Kokomi and Nilou are setting us up with some kick rear end synergy with the dendro archon.

Hell yeah that's a good banner. Everyone with Kokomi has high praise for her and she was one of the most used characters on the abyss tracker. Of people that have Kokomi she was used in 83.6% of their fastest reported abyss clear which put her in the top 5 most used characters.

I'm still torn because Kokomi's fish-attire is hideous and whenever she talks Kokomi manages to be even more insufferable than Yelan the snide, self-obsessed hydro bayonetta. At least Yelan doesn't sound like she's quoting Sun Tzu because that is a bridge too far on the obnoxious/embarrassing character scale.

How is your Kazuha still level 80? Do you not use him all the time? :raise:

There's a couple of characters I hit level 81 with just by using them so much but none as quickly as Kazuha.

They usually don't announce the reruns til the stream for the next patch, but leakers are saying it's probably gonna be Venti and Eula (Venti so that we get an archon every patch through at least 3.2 bc of how many new players are joining for Sumeru, and Eula bc there's datamined lines for her being in an event in 3.1)

After stockpiling 5* reliquaries from the abyss to roll for dendro dmg goblets, burning through 30 fragile resin, and using primos on a daily resin refresh every day since Sumeru I'm up 300+ 5* artifacts. After much recycling I finally got my first dendro goblet!

Sure is... something. :eek:

A now-unimpressive standard weapon that isn't even Ganyu's BiS for any of her builds and is 4 star quality on anyone else. And the most infamous weapon of all time. Incredible. Even the 4*s are bland.

Sanity check on pull strategy for a new (beginning of last month) player: At 20 pity, with my only hydros being Barbara and Xingqiu, would it make sense to use my 70 pull stock to make one try for Kokomi, then horde regardless for dendro archon? I already won the 50:50 on zhongli when 3.0 went up. I don't much care for archers (controller on pc, mouse and keyboard for a BotW-esque game feels wrong), but very much love Yanfei for burning my way through the beginning of the game til now, so a hydro catalyst who isn't barbara seems like a big upgrade.
