A dendro and a hydro apply to enemies to create the Bloom Cores, Raiden's Skill hits all the cores to turn them into comically overpowered homing missiles. Extremely effective against both non-Dendro immune mobs and bosses, which are most enemies in the game.

How does weapon enhancement work? I don't know whether to enhance a weapon with the Lv. 1 weapons from the "Auto Add" option or to use Enhancement Ores instead. I also can't tell if the "Enhancement Materials Consumed (0/20)" means I can use 20 items at a time to upgrade the weapon indefinitely, or if the weapon can only have 20 items used to enhance it, ever. Thanks for any clarification, I'm pretty lost haha

Thanks for any clarification, I'm pretty lost haha The 20 items limit is just a dumb ui thing, so if you have 100 useless 1-star weapons you want to use as fuel it'll take 5 clicks since each click only eats 20 of them. There's no reason to ever use 1* or 2* weapons as soon as you have a 3* one (and you'll get loads of 3*s just from exploring and opening chests), so they basically only exist to be used as enhancement fodder. Weapons give a really low amount of exp though so enhancement crystals are still gonna be your main source of level ups. However i would advise keeping 1 fully refined copy of each 3* weapon locked (so it doesn't get eaten by the auto-add button), since they have unique passives which can sometimes be useful even after you have a bunch of 4-stars. And again, weapons give almost no exp so you get a really low benefit for mulching 3*s instead of saving them. Weapon crystals are pretty plentiful and you can always go mine more so just go ahead and max any weapon you're using, you don't need to save them for later.

Thanks for any clarification, I'm pretty lost haha Weapons and ores both give xp when used in enhancing weapons, but in different amounts depending on quality small crystals (1 star) are 400 xp a piece medium (2 star) are 2,000 large (3 star) are 10,000 and for weapons : 1 star weapon 600 2 are 1,200 3 star is 1,800 4 star is 50,000 5 star is 300,000 - DO NOT CONSUME 5 STAR WEAPONS IT IS NEVER WORTH IT But, weapons also give more exp depending on how high of a level they themselves were - letting you retain 80% of the experience that had been sunk into the older weapon. You can use 20 of any type of item at a time, but you can repeat this process infinitely until your weapon is at its cap. Crystals count as a single type per quality, no matter how many of those crystals you put in at once. If you put in more experience than needed to reach that cap, the game will try to convert the excess experience into crystals, but it will round off (so youll always lose out a tiny bit of xp).

The second best use is feeding them to the parametric transformer... thought mint is a better material.

they are the worst use of resin in the game but also only 1 click so it's a decent resin sink if you don't feel like doing any actual gameplay but still have enough of a case of the GAAS daily-chores-brains that you don't want to "waste" your daily resin by overcapping efb

I'll mention that I do the ore expeditions every day as much as I can. They're a good rate in terms of resin efficiency (5k gold is 1/12 of 20 resin, 8 chunks is 1/6 of 20 resin). And they also count towards the mining daily for some reason. For the first year of the game I actually mined ore manually but that's a bit of poopsocking I'm no longer willing to do.

How does everyone burn their weapon ore? I'm always capping out, since I pretty much have all the weapons I want at 90 maxed. It gets annoying hitting the cap every now and then during events or from the BP. I dump exp into unique weapons I'm not using, but I don't go out of my way to farm ascension mats. Even still, I'll eventually get to the point where I'm out of weapons to level unless I want to level duplicates or trash.

that's the thing with weapons - you only level the "good ones" once and then they can be used on any team comp you want. So there's a big glut at AR45-50 where you want to "finish" your first team and you have 4 weapons to cap and youre continuously out of mats and oh god how will I ever get it done and..there's..nothing ever again? it's weird.

The crystal ore+resin thing is inefficient as hell but it's also the only way to get past the daily limit on how much you can refine (which I'm pretty sure is 30 large crystals?). Nothing else can get past that limit if you don't have any quests/battlepass/etc pending. If you have a new 5* weapon or something you want to level up ASAP and don't have a big stockpile then converting crystal ore is the only way to not have it take two+ weeks. It's a very niche use but it's still a use. Realistically though... yeah it's a way to dump resin without having to actually play for 20 minutes.

I've run out of the 3* ores sometimes even with leveling event weapons during their release. Part of it is having 5* weapons and being lazy to convert my ore, but I've got duplicates of weapons raised/worth raising and the idea of lots of different weapons having potential use means there's always something I could work on....if I farmed the accession materials anyway

Stare-Out posted:Make more parry characters, just don't make them suck. The enemies in this game mostly have really clear patterns so reacting to those is fun. Give us a 5* that does that and the damage is insane. My problem with them is the CD is too long, and Sacrificial weapons only proc so often. I with the made an artifact set that was “reset your skill cooldown when you perform a perfect parry.”

There are way too many useful gadgets in this game and there needs to be an easier and quicker way to swap between them I'm also discovering gadgets I completely forgot I had because of how little I like to mess with the gadget menu (a thing that just magically summons all the wood from all the trees near you on push, for example)

Tower of fantasy does this by giving you two gadget buttons and a third button that cycles to different sets. I really wish theyd just steal that setup. It’d be convenient having the feather and the anemo boost gadget as one set, the NRE and teapot on the second, etc.

Raiden is slightly more optimal because her skill hits more frequently enemies can weirdly only take damage from 2 hyperbloom seeds at a time so if you can stack up 3+ in between kuki skill ticks you leave damage on the table. But the main difference is just that Raiden is set-and-forget with longer range vs Kuki's skill bringing heals but being shorter range and needing to re-upped more often. If you already do have kuki there's no real need to roll raiden just for hyperbloom, although now you can potentially use alhaitham as a driver and run two hyperbloom teams at once!

I really hate how much this game makes my ADHD run rampant. I can't ever focus on a single task for more than 10 minutes because there are 50 other things I want to do at any given time and I have fun doing all of them. I'm farming amethyst lumps for Sucrose's catalyst. I'm farming fish for Xiangling's spear. I'm farming Electroculus for Inazuma statue completion. I'm farming Electro Sigils for the Sacred Sakura so I can actually get all of the Electroculus. I'm finishing Inazuma questlines that make the islands not hellscapes. I'm trying to figure out team comps that are fun so I can eventually delve deeper into the abyss. I'm working on collecting all of the Genius Invokation cards. I'm working on doing some of the character questlines because I've only done a handful and have like 10 in my quest log. I'm farming 100 other different materials that I need to level/ascend characters and weapons. I haven't even started farming artifacts for any of my characters. I haven't even touched Sumaru other than run in and grab all the Statues for the map.

Incoherence posted:Only if they get rid of the "you cannot carry more Sweet Flower seed" messages. I assume that's why they don't just have it on, they could not possibly come up with a way to notify you of this which is not obnoxious. Kinda like how if you want to see if that locked artifact you have laying around is actually any good or if you can mulch it, the "HEY THIS IS LOCKED DID YOU KNOW IT'S LOCKED" message covers half the stats. Hell, even in the stupid weasel-watching comission, the instructions are very much in the way of the goddamn weasels. Only the "hey, maintenance is in 20 minutes" notifcation is actually good, everything else is just in the goddamn way. Unrelated to bad design decisions, I have heard zhongli die for the first time in ages, because a cutscene happened before I could open my wings to glide down from the cliff I was on. Didn't see him die, of course; there was a cutscene happening.
