Tree Reformat posted:I'm sorry, I can't process the idea of "having too many R5 prototype ambers". I'm no theorycrafter , I have very little idea how the game works under the hood (and honestly dont care to learn, I dont enjoy the spiral abyss so I just dont do it, so no real need to learn what peoples ascension stats are, or what that in fact even means), I just go by the helper spreadsheet when picking artifacts/weapons, and I've just double checked, the only character where thats the highest rated 3 or 4 star option are Kokomi (who I dont have) or certain specific builds of characters that sounded complicated so I just avoided (if I was running yanfei as shield support, but I'm not, I run her as DPS so she has a Widsith). So I'm not actually sure I have any prototype ambers built because the guide has never recommended it as anyones best option! I probably have one, I tend to craft one of everything then horde billets for a rainy day.

prototype amber is never the 'best' option for any character's dps but it brings teamwide heals so if your team needs a healer and you have no actual healer that would fit in, but you have space for a catalyst support like sucrose or mona or whatever, then you can throw in an Amber get some basic heals going

Prototype Amber on a 40 burst catalyst can often provide enough healing to carry you through stuff if you can burst on CD with that character. Add in a little secondary healing/shielding and it'll be enough to carry you through Abyss most of the time as long as the corruption modifier doesn't return.

I used an R5 amber on Nahida on floor 12 (with Zhongli) and it kept everyone nicely topped off whenever something managed to break through the shield. Wouldn't rely on it if I didn't have Zhongli or if I was facing corrosion.

hey by the way I've never progressed past Abyss 10 (partially out of laziness and partially because I used to suck bad at team-building) do you get anything for clearing it all for the first time???

Garrand posted:Sacrificial Fragments (4*) and Magic guide (3*) have EM substat. Magic Guide has bonus damage on units afflicted with electro and hydro although if you aren't using somnone like xingqiu she tends to just eat all of that immediately with her insanely strong dendro application. e: I say that but I realize i don't know the order of operations so it may be functioning just fine. Xun posted:I would be looking at maybe Widsith and Sacrificial Fragments if you can. Sacrificial Fragments has the EM substat while Widsith is just generally good for off field characters. Pure F2P wise I would consider maybe the Prototype Amber because her burst is up all the time and the healing is nice and maybe the Hakushin Ring if you're doing a lot of electro reactions. Maayybee the sumeru craftable weapon could work too, but it's got one of those weird passives so it seems really finnicky. Thanks for the info. I do have the catalysts mentioned so nice that I have some options to mess around with. As for artifacts, would I be correct in guessing that trying to gather Deepwood artis is a good direction to go for at the moment? From everything I've seen so far Deepwood is to Dendro what Viridescent Venerer is to Anemo. So that makes the most sense (plus the L90 run I can take down in 90 seconds or less with Xingqiu/Rosaria/Kazuha/Fischl). Just wasn't sure what arti experiments others have tried that may have yielded interesting results.

Nyaawn posted:The only five star catalyst I have, sadly, is the lost prayer to sacred wind This is what I use for Nahida and (with damage-focused gear) it works well. I'm sitting at 69/181 with 400 EM (so it turns into 75/201) and hit hard enough for abyss 12, though I expect to hit even harder when I've decked out Raiden in EM instead of her normal Emblem set.

I really really dislike Dragonspine. This cold mechanic from a gameplay standpoint is very much not doing it for me. I am constraining my frustration posting this trying to unlock the Blizzard Strayer domain.

I haven't come across a single character voice, including Paimon, that I found annoying, but for some reason Layla's is super grating to me. I get that it's sort of her character but the dispassionate monotone sucks to listen to.

Best interview I've found with Paimon's voice actress: https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2021/02/10/genshin-impact-paimon-voice-actor-on-fandoms-and-dealing-with-haters/quote:When I originally auditioned for Paimon, I actually had her set closer to my natural tone. Once I booked the character, that was when I sat there with miHoYo for a good 30-40 minutes and they were like, ‘Okay, we want it higher – go higher – can you go higher?’, and it kept getting higher until we’re at the highest point of my register, and then they were like ‘Now just add breathiness, we want a whole bunch of breathiness to make it more ethereal, to have that ethereal feeling for Paimon.’ So yeah, that was definitely a direction.

There is apparently a furniture chest that spawns in Apam woods out of one of the bubbles you pop. But there's only a chance of it spawning - you need to go back every day to see if this is the day it spawns. You also need to make, not kidding, 28 of these items for one of the primogem furniture sets. This is some next-level griefing.

on a similar note I hated having to buy *22* of the stupid little planters, for Nahida's gift set, from the Teapot vendor. 3 per day. Scrolling alllllll the way down every time.

At least based off that clip the old is way better, but that's also why I play with jp voices.

The higher pitch was coached, but the increased sassiness was in response to fan feedback. I hate higher pitched voiced characters as a whole, but they're pretty much a staple in anime.
