Nahida's now just a single week away... the reality that I'm not gonna get a good set for her in time is starting to hit. Can't wait to finally see if my actually pretty good gilded dreams set ends up being worse than my supremely poo poo deepwood set lol (but like, a sad lol)

Shouldn't be too bad to find an alt holder in catalyze teams, but it might get a bit dumb with teams that deal with blooms now that you probably want the bloom trigger onfield (because of Nahida buff).

Deepwood Xingqiu? Candace??

Nice I need the second two, which means I'm gonna 6 star the first, or Thoma and some rando who isn't on the banner but for some reason comes up on all my rolls.

This is, no joke, literally the title of my Shinobu/Ayato fanfic, a preview of which I shall now proceed to inflict upon this thread:

"Lumine, you idiot!" Shinobu hissed into the Traveller's ear. "Why is the Yashiro Commissioner sitting in your boat?"

"Isn't he dreamy?" Lumine giggled. "Look at that hair, and that coat, and those long sleeves of his. I wonder if they come off?"

Shinobu briefly stifled an urge to stab the person next to her. It was a familar urge and spending time with the Arataki gang had given her much practice suppressing it. Instead, she settled for poking Lumine in the ribs.

Sitting at 42 pulls in and guaranteed from my off-banner Tighnari. I've got all of the 4*s at C6, so hopefully Nahida can come home early.

I wouldn't mind getting Thoma'd, though, now that I remember he exists and is actually a solid burgeon enabler... when he's not starved for energy. C4 would be nice to have, and I suppose I can use Kitain Cross Spear for the energy boost. But it looks infinitely worse on him than Dragon's Bane. Still, I can't deny how satisfying it is when he does work.

With a shield and XQ's swords, it's probably my most sustainable burgeon setup until a Dendro healer arrives. Benny's fun but feels really fragile with constant self damage and his heal not topping up.

I’ve spent an insane amount of time building triple crown physical Qiqi (C0) with Pale Flame and Aquila Favonia, with a C6 Beidou burst she’s genuinely scary, but how else can I boost Qiqi’s physical damage?

There aren't a ton of options to boost phys / normal attack damage. Bennett is huge of course. Besides him your options are either yun jin for the extra normal attack damage or Rosaria for the crit buff+ cryo resonance.

Risking 5 stars by rolling 4 stars is the only exciting part of the gacha system. If you have extra wishes who cares. If you don't have extra wishes, well yeah you might get into trouble.

Rolling for 4-stars on a banner where you don't want the 5-star is the gacha version of being Icarus and I'm sure he's having a great time, still up there soaring on his wax wings

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I'd like a C6 Noelle, but according to the soft pity calculator I'm at a 60% chance of pulling a guaranteed 5* on my next pull, so I am extremely unlikely to get any 4 stars.

Counterpoint: Rolling for Benny twice on the first Yomiya rerun worked out great for me, really helped through the midgame period, and then I won the 50/50 for Zhongli the banner after.

But yeah, beginner's dumb luck aside, usually a terrible idea.

It works out great most of the time! Ignore my C1 ganyu and C2 cyno and there are no problems whatsoever!

GAMERDOME put down LOSER
I got Ganyu trying to get Dori, Cyno trying to get Candace, and Nilou trying for either Xiangling or Beidou. The only one I was really making a concerted effort to get was Dori (didn't pull her though), and it was all at the default chance. I didn't really mind any of them, but your brain always makes the odds seem unrealistic if it would benefit you more.

Zombie Baby/Murder Nun/Butch Pirate/Chéo Girl, thanks mate I’ll give it a try.

I’m a teacher and my students are amazed by a Qiqi that can solo Masanori without teammates or food buffs so the effort is already worthwhile :cheers:

The good thing about not caring about Benny is that I'm going to pull the trigger on that C6 and forget about him. More Razor constellations are fine by me though and maybe I'll get more use of Noelle beyond tanking giant vishap attacks.

Im actually surprisingly low in constellations for both benny and razor. If I get Benny to C6 I might try out that weird razor reaction mess build

Harrow

I'll probably activate Bennett's C6 when I get it because I don't currently run any characters/teams that would gently caress up and the exclamation point would bug me every single time I log in

Will I regret that in the future? Absolutely. One day they'll definitely release another physical damage character I really want who would love Benny's ATK buff and I won't be able to use him in that team. But that's a problem for future Harrow to deal with.

I have been rolling on 4* without it ever backfiring. Would be great to get some pre-pity 5* rolls for a change. 1387 wishes across all banners and I've had 3 early 5* :(

By the time they decide to make a physical damage character who relies on a reaction other than Superconduct, they'll have figured out a way to disable constellations to solve the Bennett Problem.

I don't quite have enough wishes to force a rate-up on Nahida, but I'm at least pretty close, so this is probably going to happen to me.

The only two physical attackers either don't use Bennet or use Bennet in a hosed up way because of how their kit works in the case of Razor.

Like, Eula's best teams absolutely don't use bennet.
