Some combination of Anemo, Geo, and 2 Dendro. No Reactions and Resonance is pointless as well.Sanctum posted:Honestly even Xiangling and Xingqiu are terrible early-game when you have no ER and no constellations. You cant maintain their bursts and have to wait on multiple skill rotations to get enough energy. Guoba isn't reliable for pyro application in the overworld and XQ's skill CD is hella long. They definitely are not ideal characters to recommend for the early game. Back in the first couple months Crescent Pike was meta for a bit because it allowed Xiangling to do decent damage between Bursts. This is before everyone had good Artifacts and had figured out ER was the best Stat [until it isn't]

I rolled a weird team on the standard banner recently. Mona / Rosaria / Lisa and Babs. Kinda tempted to run around with it a bit since I used to run a DPS Mona, but it would just be her and Ro carrying the other two.

Mona was my first 5* and using her autoattacks with Fischl felt PRETTY DEVASTATING at low adventurer levels!

I think something like Nilou/Cyno/Xiao/Shenhe would be a maximally disappointing and aggravating to play 5* team. Two gimmick supports that can't pull off their gimmick, two burst DPSs with no battery, no shields, no healing, and no bows or catalysts so you need to get into melee range anyway.

I think we need some ground rules on building the worst team, such as the characters should be considered being built however would best benefit the team. This would mean most anemos would be out because VV adds alot of synergy to any team.

The one weird trick for the Mondstadt talent domain that I used for awhile was just to bring Razor and normal attack the slimes to death. Don't need to cleanse the cooldown increase aura if you don't need cooldowns.

Some questions: ping does affect local gameplay in addition to input lag there are also buggy interactions with some set effects Th Echoes of an Offering artifact set has an effect that has X% chance to add Y damage to your attacks and then go on a 0.2s cooldown but for some insane reason the cooldown is actually "0.2s + your ping" so it gets weaker the higher your ping is.

To be fair that set is pretty mediocre even with good ping, so at least that one is not the biggest loss.

if you have 100ish ping you should still be fine for most gameplay minus echoes (which isnt even that good on low ping) so i wouldnt worry about it unles you're regularly dipping into 150+

Don't spend money on primos, it's never worth it I buy primos, come at me 2) Very rarely. The echos of an offering set has a bug(?) where ping effects its output. It's not a big deal becaue the set isn't that great otherwise. If you're having connection issues, you can tell by a delay in your attempts to switch your characters. Other than that, no, it doesn't really effect much outside of multiplayer, where you'll see people doing phantom movements and then vanish back to where they "actually" are. 3)They are concurrent. Both PC, mobile, and console were there at release, and both are updated at the same time. 4) That's Paimon!

I appreciate that they're putting furniture chests in some of these super-secret rooms across Sumeru; like the ones hidden in small tunnels running through the sides of the old vanarana tree you jump down. Gives you something unique for finding those hidden areas (even if nobody will ever see or care about my teapot furnishings.) That well hidden chamber you unlock with those glinting components leads to a boring-rear end basement which is disappointing. At least Khaj-Nisut's secret throne room looks snazzy.

I started playing on a tablet and happened to be incredibly high when I first played on PC, so when I made it to Windrise and realized how big and detailed the world was, my mind shattered into a million pieces.

I'd say you should probably get a refresher on the opening plot, but honestly even sober the prologue is like a whirlwind of names and terms that won't have any real meaning to you until you're like halfway through the second region's plot. It's like getting bombarded with that dude's speech at the start of Skyrim, and you've never played an Elder Scrolls before.

Maxwell Adams posted:Also, you can't ignore a character on the team. You have to use their skill in the rotation. Kazuha gathers, Collei plus either pyro makes burn, and then mostly attack with Xinyan. Spin to win when you have the stamina, swap out on burst cooldowns and to keep things gathered. Kazuha's gathering makes him too good for this, and while I get the impulse to include Xinyan/Amber, the two of them grant pyro resonance and battery each other for burst spam, plus Xinyan isn't all that bad, just utterly outclassed in most things. Like, as a physical dps she's pretty good, top three or four in the category easy. (It's a bad category.) People used to run Physical Keqing, and aside from not having half of superconduct she's way better than that. Plus she has a shield! (that can't be good at the same time as her attack.) It's hard to think of a team that's absolutely horrible, but I feel like even before you give her resonance Xinyan solos well enough she can't be on it.

Xinyan is good at feeling bad, because you'll fight a lot of battles against one enemy where she won't get the full benefits for hitting multiple enemies at once. If I was going to make the worst possible team, I'd want to exclude healing, shields, and good elemental synergy. I would leave out anyone I enjoyed the base mechanics for a lot, too. Or I would go mono-element, and be literally incapable of defeating many shielded enemies. Here is my pitch: Aloy: Her skills are kinda cool, but you can never get a cool constellation buff for the foreseeable future. Faruzan: She buffs anemo damage, but you don't have anyone else to give that buff too. The super moves in an awkward triangle that will make coordinating more challenging. Kujou Sara: Another buffing character who I found awkward and unpleasant to play. This one actually does help out the others, tho. Yanfei: I was tempted to put Kaeya here, but he gets a self-heal and can benefit from your awkward superconduct. Yanfei feels fun to play, but she will become significantly more frustrating without shields, heals, or turret skills to facilitate reactions. I think I could still muddle through with this team. What mono-element team would have the worst time trying to actually complete Genshin? Anemo and Geo can eventually wear down most shields, so probably not them. Maybe ice? I think the wolf is immune to that. Mono lightning might have a real bad time with the raiden shogun boss.

Mono cryo is the best mono team (maybe better than geo) thanks to shenhe. Mono teams (especially if kazuha counts as mono) are all good at this point besides anemo.

Faruzan’s buff to anemo is pretty awesome. Using a heizou/faruzan tag team for extreme detective punching. Guess you could throw Sayu in there for healing and literally any other anemo.

Real Cool Catfish posted:The ultimate crime of this game is the game kicked off with me finding Paimon incredibly annoying for obvious reasons and now I find her funny. Hell yeah, brother. I started off hating Paimon and finding her incredibly annoying. About half way through Mondstadt, I swapped voices from EN to JP. But after going through Liyue, I wanted to take things more casual and flipped it back to EN and have been playing with the voices ever since and I kinda love Paimon now? It's super interesting seeing my wife start the game because the VA for Paimon was a lot softer with her voice early in the game and she's only become more goblinized over time.
