Not sure why but the urge to play Genshin came upon me around Christmas after shelving it when the mountain south of the Mondstat region was released, so I'm well behind on content. I did get the notice about dropping world level which was nice, because I think I'd just gone up to WL7 and was getting my butt kicked, so dropping back down to learn the game is what's saving me from thinking of just restarting from scratch (not permanently, but for re-leaning the game). Is there a good site for character team build and gear combinations that work for beginners? Those that haven't gotten access to the later regions and artifact sets or a lot of extra characters?

https://akashadata.com/team/ isnt bad either, its showing spiral abyss teams but anything that works in there is mostly gonna be fine in the overworld. id switch to floor 9/10 tho because floor 12 is mostyl gonna show the optimized teams

this is a good resource for character builds

My notification page is showing me the banners that come up after Alhaitham and Xiao. Did they do that on accident?

Yeah this is pretty early, not going to lie.

Edit: Tweet was deleted, but it had Xingqiu, Ningguang, Beidou and Lithic Blade, Favonius Sword, Favonius Codex, Dragonbane, and the Rust Bow on the 4* rate-up.

It's not just the English account, so it must be intentional.

Hopefully this trend will continue, and they'll keep announcing their plans further and further ahead of time until they're beating the leakers at their own game.

Oh, I guess somebody with the keys to whatever tool they use to coordinate all their Twitter accounts hit the wrong button.

That, or nobody told the English community team this was part of the plan and they went off half-cocked and deleted it on their own, because the Japanese version is still up.

damnit if I pull on these banners its is going to result in like C12 Beidou and Ning and Xingqiu for me.

might do the weapon banner since either option would be useful (raiden gets homa, passes catch to xiangling; fischl or venti takes aqua, other takes stringless)

I already have Yelan, so I'll pass on Hu Tao since I'll be going for Dehya immediately following. Plus I already have Xingqiu/Beidou at C6 and it would just get wasteful. lol

Wait, did the English version really include the date for Wanderer and Itto's last banner too by mistake? That's probably the only reason they deleted it.

Glad I'm not pulling on the second half. I've got all the 4* at C6. Hopefully that means the Dehya banner won't have too many for me.

I already got Ayato so my only options are either pulling on Alhaitham's banner for more Yaoyao and Yunjin constellations or simply not and waiting instead. I've already got a C0 Hu Tao and Yelan and am not crazy enough to go after 5* character constellations right now. If there's a 7 month rerun of Mondstadt and Liyue characters then maybe.

That's a good banner for 4*s for newer accounts. Absolutely terrible one for anyone who has been playing for any amount of time longer than a year or so.

if you were just getting her, her cons are really good too. c2 is amazing and her c6 is strong, too. and her burst rank con is obviously decent. c1 is also an okay shield for some added protection if the team otherwise doesnt have a shielder.

Hmm I'm going to be pulling for Yelan, but also don't have XQ yet so was going to grab him in the new year event, now this changes that maybe unless I get really lucky and pull Yelan early... decisions decisions...

Worst case scenario, you can buy him for Starglitter in March.

I'm among that number and XQ has dodged me every single time he's been on rate-up, so I disagree

I just went back to play the game on my PS4 since I'll be without my PS5 controller for a while and holy poo poo these loading times are atrocious. I've been really taking the SSD for granted. Went from ~3 seconds to over a minute to load into gameplay.

Wanted to grab Yelan and maybe try for Hu Tao's c1 since I have ~450 wishes saved but I've got all the rate ups at c6 ughhhhhh

Nothing feels worse to me than pulling someone who's already at c6

Look at it this way, all of the Starglitter you'll get from getting already C6'd 4* units means you can convert them into wishes and be more likely to hit your goals!

I've already encountered what killed me when I stopped playing a long time ago. I've got one great character, Xiangling. I dumped a lot of resources into a character that can perform well, Klee, and I enjoyed playing for a couple days but then came to absolutely hate. And two characters I enjoy, Noelle & Beidou, but only work when timers aren't a thing and really just feel terrible to play after a good Xiangling/Bennet/Fischl team.

The problem is I invested all my other resources into finding alternatives, but never quite got anyone up to really compete with Xiangling yet and grew very bored grinding constantly with one team over and over and over and over again. My next best option is a level 80 C0 Childe with a level 60 R1 Rust or taking the level 80 Widsith off Klee and building up another book user which comes down to either my 60 Sucrose, 40 Mona, or 40 Ningguang. However after just a couple days of commissions and trying out bosses the thought of grinding those up is... not great. Especially with very few skill and exp books to my name.
