I have played through some story quests and the final archon quest I have yet to complete and I would like to express that Itto is my friend, he is incredibly stupid, and I love him for it.

Not a fan of the actual writing in his quest (weird as all hell outside of Itto himself) but I could listen to him say stupid poo poo for hours.

Peeps that are still testing dendro with dmc and collei, I admire your resolve. Even though i finaly got some free time back, I don't really even wanna test anything before nahida launches lol. Kinda don't even wanna do any exploration content, either... her fruit picker ability is too good.

Anyway, looks like the GCsim database v3 is finally up, albeit with some characters still missing and a weird new UI:

Some results are weird...

Yes, you need the Fungal Spores line of materials to upgrade Nilou and Nahida (and not the Fungal Nucleus line from Activated/Burnt fungi)



Activated/Burnt fungi still sometimes drop basic Fungal Spores but its really rare

Oh, I just realized I should ask: I pulled an Amos Bow from the story banner a couple days ago, is it particularly good on anyone besides just being a 5-star stat stick? My archers are Amber, Collei, Diona, Fischl, and Gorou.

The passive only boosts charge shots, and Amber, Ganyu and Tighnari are the only characters in the game who care even the smallest amount about bow charge shots (I wouldn't recommend using Amber). However yeah it makes a good stat-stick for anyone just because it gives loads of attack.

If you can't open all the chests, you're still going to randomly find an aranara who's """""in danger"""" because they're standing near some enemies who literally cannot see it.

Really wish they would copy BotW's mechanic of marking found koroks on the map for things like this or oculi.

Or chests, but that would be kind of cluttered without an option to disable the view.

I mean, you can. I do it with oculi every time one pops up on the minimap or I spot it in the distance. I mark it one way if I haven't picked it up and another if I have and write notes on the marker if there are special conditions (puzzle, underground etc.).

For chests it would be too much though yeah, and I never did it for the Aranara which was a big mistake in retrospect.

I used to mark Oculi, since I had a lot of trouble getting the last few in Monstadt and Liyue, but since then either their map design has been fairer or I've been getting better at exploration because I tend to find enough of them anyway on my own (and it wastes a ton of map tags). I have not been marking Aranara and will definitely be regretting that though.

I was hoping they'd let us mark like 50 more things on the map for sumeru. With fishing spots and ore nodes I ran out, although the latter is the main filler and I've deleted a few for new fishing spots.

Zenostein

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
I can usually bumble my way to finding enough oculi that making compases isn't too expensive, so there's not much point in marking them unless I'm in the middle of something and want to come back later.

I'd mark the aranara, but I'm already entirely too close to the pin limit, so that idea was doa. Which is a shame, because even with a list that's a lot of places to have to go looking for mop-up.

It's a shame you never use Shinobu's normal attacks, because her animations are pretty cool. I just noticed she switches which hand she holds her sword in between the first and second hit.

Seeing kuki's animations is the meta advantage of hyperbloom candace.

Just take a freeze team to do Sumeru ley lines, the dang things are like 50% fungi even in the desert, and you probably won't have to deal with a lot of environmental pyro or electro. Alternately there's a whole smurf village of fungi underneath the Quorn Beast if you just want to do a quick lap.

It's not like hard or anything, just run around Sumeru with Ganyu, it's just annoying that I'd thought I had a big pile of mushroom bits but it turns out I actually have almost no mushroom bits because I killed them all wrong.

Is there any use for the "inactivated" fungus drops yet? Seems like everything that needs fungal materials needs the normal non-electro/pyro kind.

Yeah, it's dumb because freeze and geo are basically the only comps with no pyro or electro, and if you wanted to play around with the new dendro comps you were definitely using electro or pyro.

The funny part is the last 12k HP goes above and beyond her HP scaling. That could be a level 1 dull blade and the chalice boost would be the same, with the only difference being the key's EM sharing passive (which would admittedly be ~5k less damage per bloom)

Ofc the current abyss' free 200EM to everyone helps a lot too.

It does worry me a little that outside of lucksacking into enough god artifacts to exceed the HP scaling cap, Nilou's unique weapon is pretty much irreplaceable for her since no other weapon offers even a small advantage.

After watching that video, I can see why anemo is banned from using bountiful. It doesnt seem to have the 2x target restriction that swirl has which makes for unbelievable damage when grouped. Viridescent Hunt Yelan or Collei should be pretty cool.

The problem of killing yourself with cores is real though when they hit that hard. Its why people are saying that for double hydro double dendro you should probably be using kokomi as a driver.

Well its probably not that bad as long as cores dont go off when you are switching characters or fighting against wolves.

Bloom core explosions deal 5% of their damage to you as well, and Nilou's aren't an exception. It's not that much damage per explosion but it can add up when your Bloom explosions are dealing 33k+ damage and there are tons going off at once.
