Just waiting to see if the Shenhe/Ayaka rumors are true or not before I start throwing out wishes. Because I hear that Inazuma's awkward government princess is a pretty strong cryo character and I dunno who I should go for right now.

Man, I just finished the last Jeht quest so far and how the hell do Rana and Scaramouche get Visions for their moments and Jeht didn't right there? Especially Rana, she just, like, decided to travel and got a Vision from it.

There are many, many humans who have both ambition and willpower to see their dreams through who never receive Visions, while sometimes Visions are given seemingly more to save someone's life than to actually reward any determination on their part, like Fischl or Kujoh Sara.

I'm either not clicking with Hu Tao's playstyle or I'm just so used to how brain-dead I could play as Ganyu that the rest of the game feels hard again. Even without using reactions and trash artifacts on Ganyu I can just melt everything in the overworld without getting hit, but when I switch to Hu Tao I feel like I'm doing four times as much effort to do half the damage and constantly wasting food/revives/running back to statues When I first asked for advice people told me to go to Keqing or Alhaitham team, if I'm just playing overworld and story and stepping foot into Inazuma for the first time is that the play? I don't mind grinding out materials for either of them for the next couple days. I think I might've been spoiled on so easy Ganyu makes the game that I don't know how to play melee anymore

DancingShade posted:I think the upcoming banners are absolutely fantastic. The best I could have asked for.  I've C6'ed all the characters on the banner besides Collei who I'm not that interested in building at all atm and Dehya is going on the standard banner so I can possibly get her on lost 50/50's or just the acquaint faint tokens I pick up along the way by levelling characters and various other methods. I'm curious to see how she actually plays though and if it's anywhere near what all the doomposting says or just kind of peculiar. As banners go probably more interested in trying to get Ayaka Constellations this time around for a focus. Honestly for me though my method is to just keep a threshold of 20K primos as often as possible and just do one or two rolls a day until near the end of a banner and then make a final decision based on where I am in the pity rate or gut feeling and see what happens. That way if there ever comes a just must absolutely have it perfect click sort of character I have that stock pile. I'm sure most peoples method is to just hammer the x10 pull button the moment the banner goes live at least until they get the 5 star though.

Yeah pretty much every burst-focused on-field carry is tuned for bosses/abyss/domains/etc. If you have halfway decent gear you'll obliterate overworld stuff in the first few attacks (or even just from the setup from the supports...) and have squat for energy for the next pack. It's a little frustrating if you tend to focus more on overworld stuff but ah well. Quad Geo with Itto does quite well outdoors admittedly, but that's mostly because a well-geared Albedo can basically solo everything while off field.

You just make water happen on something and then hutao at it until it dies, which is usually quick enough that it isn't really worth the time to set up for. Also I guess occasionally you have to feed her, unless you get lucky with her burst (Or use xingqiu instead of yelan, his not terribly amazing heal is plenty adequate to keep her alive). I donno, if I have her out in the overworld I just hit stuff with her spear, maybe actually use her skill if there's some ruin stuff or something with a lot of health. Also yes, you should probably not just stand there and let a monster eat your face, that's sub-optimal.

Al and Keqing are less bothered about that. Al's multivariable burst is especially nice for overworld work.

Unless they ever have another world level ascension quest again and decide overworld enemies can now be floor 12 abyss levels now it's probably always going to be that way in the overworld for non-elite enemies at least yeah. That hasn't been a thing since 1.X though.

Speaking of Albedo, I was using Zhongli/Albedo/Diluc/Bennet to farm the Mondstadt talent domain during the bonus event, and even with a decently built Diluc getting in melts, Albedo was still easily out damaging him with 20k non-crit hits. I know Diluc has dropped WAY off meta, but even that is pretty ridiculous. Please mihoyo, fix crystallize so I can run my favorite nerd in all of my teams.

No wonder the Aranyaka quest line is so long, it's basically the regional world quest series for every rainforest region that launched in 3.0. I've gotten to roughly 60% exploration across the rainforest in February since starting to focus exclusively on Sumeru again just by doing these quests and exploring the areas they take me too. In Inazuma each island kind of had it's own unique regional quest series like cleansing the Sacred Sakura tree, repairing the Mikage Furnace or dispelling the Tataragami and I don't even recall these being a thing during 1.0 and the Mondstadt/Liyue chapters at all. I mean each region of the rainforest still has it's own world quest series too, they're just unlocked via the Vanarana Aranyaka Part II series and then eventually feed back into that one again so it's still kind of a first of it's kind in a way.

If you want to use Hu Tao in the overworld, you'll want a shielder and/or a healer that only heals for a little bit at a time instead of in huge bursts. Xingqiu and the craftable Prototype Amber are good options for that at the 4 star level. I used Hu Tao/Xingqiu/Ningguang/puzzle solver for overworld exploration early on and it served me pretty well.

That one adventurer villager girl you meet on the way to Port Ormos named Rana gets withering sickness and sealed in some sort of field and the Aranara say that she can only be healed through some ritual involving the Festival Utsuva and banishment of their mortal enemy Marinara sauce and that it's all up to you to bring all the stray Aranara back to the village, solve the various major withering's across the rainforest and basically just get poo poo running properly again in the regions kind of like how the Inazuma island quests played out and with less getting owned by wide zones of Balethunder constantly in the process.

It annoys me that Sumeru's overworld puzzle content is basically forcing you into a full-spectrum team. Dendro is needed for some, electro for others, pyro sometimes too, then there are the ones that need electro AND pyro, also anemo occasionally (though this is mainly in the desert). I'm trying to run around with an awkward friendship team dammit, stop making me constantly swap characters to do puzzles.

Yeah, I kind of feel they've all been like that. No matter what your team you'll occasionally need to swap out to get whatever your missing from archer/claymore/pyro/anemo/the local element/occasionally some random element. Its just the sumaru desert is the most recent one so its fresher than having to do it in Inazuma/Liyue. I was trying to work out why it didnt annoy me as much in Sumaru as it did in Liyue and I realised its because I got a PS5 so the load time to change teams is way less than it was on the PS4.

While he can use his skill easily, he's very dependent on having Bennett/Faruzan's bursts up; his damage literally goes up by like 4x when they are (I think this is largely because he has very low base attack, so Bennet's attack boost makes a giant different - I think his attack goes from ~1700 to 2700). I could try putting more regen on them I guess. My Alhaitham team is probably my highest overworld-friendly DPS, because it only really requires Shinobu/Xingqiu/Nahida's skills, rather than bursts.

I've been using Yelan/Xingqiu/Bennett/Xiangling in the overworld and while it is an extremely burst-focused team that does jack poo poo if Yelan/XQ's bursts aren't up, those two feed each other so much with Yelan's C1 that it isn't remotely an issue, ever. The pyro characters are just there for occasional flavor.

I use Raiden/Yelan/Bennett/Kazuha as my overworld team. Great elemental coverage (occasionally need to swap to Nahida for dendro but that's it), great for exploration/movement with Yelan and Kazuha, self-sufficient in terms of healing, and kills anything that needs to be killed extremely quickly. I might replace Raiden with Ayaka next patch for even greater mobility; we'll see.

According to the google document helper guide thing the umbrella sword from the breakout/item spirit event is pretty good for Shinobu if fully refined. Can anyone confirm this? It says that and Flower of Paradise 4-set for artifacts, which I would need to farm among some other Sumeru sets that I've only recently actually unlocked the domains for.
