No Wave posted:It's definitely the hardest thing so far. It's a little confusing that it's hard because its 2 vs 3 and they just attack. I had to designate a punching bag to eat one of the bursts. They hit really hard, not much setup either so they just start out punching you and continue in that fashion.

They also have damage reduction and cheap bursts. I had to do a freeze build to beat them and still just barely won without losing anyone. Helpful fact: if you kill someone with an NA while XQ's burst is up, he'll hit the character that swaps in. This saved me from losing a character by freezing the swapping Fatui who would've immediately used his burst.

Yeah, I just barely managed to get the 3/3 rewards on my first attempt, using my keqing/fischl/collei deck. Summons plinking away at the stealth charges, followed by big aggravate hits seemed to line up pretty well against them, but it was definitely down to the wire.

Zenostein posted:Speaking of cosmetic nonsense, I can't quite figure out what it is I've gotten for "character proficiency" rewards. It says it's a front for the character card, but I don't have any idea what that does, and as far as I can tell the only visual option for those cards is having a sweet animated one or not. You get the foil version of the unique equipment card, not the character itself. They're a lot less flashy, just a gold border and shine effect w/ no animation

I find it weird that Diluc and Diona are like the least salty when they can't win a children's card game.

I should also see if those work when the character's not active. Instantly cast a skill for 4 dice when off-field sounds super appealing. Even when the skill leaves you open to becoming a popsicle. I did think it's funny that apparently everything has a dynamic skin, but for non-character stuff it's just a very slightly moving background. Not sure why they'd even bother if you [presumably] can't use actual money to have a full whale-rear end deck.

Diluc definitely killed some extra abyss dudes later. I genuinely don't get why the english script has diona so into this game, or randomly making weird sounds. It's been ages since I've done anything involving her, but she really didn't strike me as the type, and she was noticably not saying pew pew pew in japanese.

The real unexpected difficulty for me was collei. She and dendro absolutely destroyed my poo poo, I won with 1 hp left on kaeya. first time I didn't ace a challenge first try and I'm in no rush to rematch  . Time to build hyperbloom team though

Skill cards don't work from off field but if you're interested in that cast-while-offfield stuff you should try out keqing since her lightning stiletto skill lets her do that.

Do any Sumeru characters have the “collectibles on the minimap” thing like Qiqi has for Liyue? Grinding out these mushrooms for Wanderer is killing me even with the hoyomap open on my phone.

I'm only just now getting around to unlocking the card game and Fischl's muffled voice from behind a closed door was a really good gag. They should gently caress around with distance more often, I want it to sound like someone's talking to you down the street and getting louder over time.

 Feels like I am misunderstanding how nahida works. I feel like her little dendro chain thing feels like it should work the way hutao's flower does, but it seems it doesn't. :/ Guess this is a thing I can not bother reading about until she rolls up again, though. Definitely should've gone with my gut and brought my collei along, instead of two healers. I didn't even use kokomi lol. It's kinda a shame there's no real incentive to do these again unless you really want to beat your own scores. Tuxedo Catfish posted:Yeah, it's Tighnari's passive. At least they're decently clustered together, so if you find one there's probably some more nearby. Slightly less of a pain to pick up than the kala-something lotus, or violetgrass (which doesn't even have the decency to be right on the edge of a cliff so you can just walk up and grab it). The trick is finding the right bit of cave/forest for them. Also, there's a guy in the tree village (I think?) and an aranara merchant that'll sell you 5/week each. It's not much, but it helps. Ytlaya posted:Yeah, though you get a feel for it after a while. Just gotta look for those mushrooms with the cavities in them. The mushroom forest in the north has a fair few along a path on the eastern edge? A little funghi army marches along the road, which makes for an alright waypoint. There's also a few in the upper path of the cave that leads into the huge ruin robot near pt. ormos. I feel like there was another not terrible location to fish some up, but I'm drawing a blank. The real issue is that they're all in caves, and getting into those is a pain when you're running out of pins to mark the convenient entrances, rather than squinting at the map to see what roads vanish into cliffs.

Is TCG level 5 time gated? I think I've beaten all the open world encounters in Mondstadt and Liyue, and the tome isn't suggesting anymore to me. I'm a hundred or so EXP away from level 5.

This gets everyone lmao, don't feel bad. 1. Nahida's skill only triggers with elemental reactions. 2. If she's off-field in a triple hydro team, the only source of dendro is her skill. So when the dendro runs out, you can't trigger any more reactions, since you only get more dendro by triggering reactions, which you can't do because there's no dendro, which you need to trigger reactions, etc. So you either need Nahida to swap back in, or any second dendro to trigger reactions off-field.

One of the challenge players has Oceanid, Mirror Maiden, and Xiangling and that is way harder. My best deck only managed to get two of them below 5 health before I got slaughtered in the span of 2 turns. I went to go build a counter deck... but I ran out of points. BS

Tree Reformat posted:Doesn't it make you want to whale for his banner in a few weeks, player?? Well, I'm sure part of the problem was using my xiangling with no raiden. Definitely not enough ER to keep up, and having two anemos didn't seem all that helpful, since things just die before poor kazuha could get his poo poo going. I was genuinely concerned I wouldn't manage enough vaporizes for the challenge. I donno, maybe it was the flute's fault. Maybe it was just that it was a vaporize trial and you didn't have lasers or swords swooshing down out of anywhere to make whatever you're hitting wet. Perhaps I should've used thoma and let his burst compliment ayato's powerful technique of "standing perfectly still." I do still kinda want to have him, just to complete the kamisato set. lmao

ayato is good but vaporize isnt really what hes built for, hes much better in dendro and taser teams imo he does also kinda want a shielder and someone to group up the enemies. ayato/fischl/kazuha/zhongli is really basic but strong

The exact mechanics of Nahida remain a mystery to me, all I know is that I link up a bunch of enemies then a lot of colourful numbers start to appear and everything dies.

I was genuinely concerned I wouldn't manage enough vaporizes for the challenge. I went with Ayato/Xiangling/Bennet/Kazuha (all trial versions, despite me actually having all those characters), and took it without too much trouble. Still the toughest of the challenges so far, but by that I mean I got like 60 vapourises and had to heal occasionally as opposed to the others where it was like 90 of the relevant reactions and never really had to pay full attention. In fairness it probably helps a bit that I have Ayato, and have been using him on my friendship/dailies team for a while now. Still used the trial version but I knew his basic timings and stuff pretty well. Generally I chucked out Gouba, then kazuha to group the enemies and pass along the pyro, then Ayato Excelzior posted:goes shing shing shing and everything dies I'd absolutely agree that this didnt show him off to his best uses though. I've actually kept him in my daily team despite maxing his friendship because he's a lot of fun. Mostly unrelated but; I'm kind of disappointed that the layout of the dungeon has been the same for each challenge, theres really zero exploration after the first day because (aside from a couple of inconsequential power up orbs) its all the same every time.

Zenostein posted:e. hosed up poor barbara freezes herself in the card game too. Why does mihoyo hate idols so much As a Keqing/Collei/Barbara player I have to say it is actually not too bad because the skill is a summon and thus it only freezes you after both sides have ended their turn and you unfreeze when the next round starts. 9 healing over 3 turns for 3 mana and cleanse on active character is pretty great, although she is weak to dendro.
