Endorph posted:They just can't do it. Like I said, the best way of doing this would be to create a character that alters crystallize like how Nilou alters bloom, not changing Geo's reactions themselves. That's functionally the same as Itto - now you have a dedicated team for X and that's the only place geo reactions matter. Even then they'd have to either turn crystallize into a ZL shield or ditch the entire theme and make it affect damage somehow. Now you've broken the game again in some way and... yeah they're stuck. Sanctum posted:I'm not exactly hearing people singing praises of Baizhu since he released. He does off-field dendro application - is that not good? He's good at what he does, but most people seem to consider him a Yaoyao upgrade and that's not terribly interesting. Doesn't have Nahida's constant barrage of dendro and will require a second dendro in the party to keep up. If I wasn't planning a team specifically with him involved it would have been a miss. Healers don't exactly command a premium purely for healing ability.

hyperbloom damage is so high that adding a healer for survivability is honestly more valuable than piling on even more damage. but as you said yaoyao already exists.

Playing this because of Starrail, and I gotta say: this is making me wish Breath of the Wild had PC controls like this. They're so comfortable and it's so much fun to run around and solve puzzles. Also the beginner banner gave me Sayu and she's SO CUTE I'm adopting her

And yeah Baizhu is... about what he looks like. An absolute boatload of healing, a fair bit of shielding/stagger resistance with his burst, and decent (but not exceptional) dendro application off field with both skill and burst. There's just... nothing to really talk about. Yaoyao can fill a similar healer/reaction role if not quite as well, Nahida is better for off-field reactions, and so on but none combo it all together the same way. He's... Fine. If there's anything damning it's that he's kind of in the same position Jean is, a really excellent skillset but one that doesn't stand out against more specialized picks.

The worst part about this team is it'll be months before I farm enough shrooms to get everyone up to spec.

Baizhu's pretty boring but he's a healer with full uptime dendro infusion and no strict requirements for unbroken field time. So you can use any 3 of genshin's horribly broken off-fielders to their full potential. I use Baizhu/Xingqiu/Raiden, and then the 4th has been Kazuha as a raw crowd control bot, Rosaria as a freezer to deal with annoying enemies like the hydro animals, and Yelan as a bigger gun. Probably Beidou is good too as an AoE option when you're up against the floor 12 beasts and want even MORE damage reduction, or when you have to use Yelan instead of Xingqiu because you want to spread out the damage resistance. People thought he was gonna struggle in AoE but I've legitimately not noticed anything? You use him on the side with less AoE focus and you kill all the enemies by walking up to them individually and slapping them to death with your 3-digit damage normals while stuff happens around you. Fun...?

I wonder if Baizhu will get re-evaluated like Kokomi has. I think people in general under rate comfort, and being loving invincible while providing dendro is a pretty good comfort option to have. Though the delay on his E is kind of annoying so maybe not.

My impression of Baizhu is that he's Dendro Zhongli/Kokomi, but less convenient since he's more dependent on his burst (and thus, ER). Also doesn't have the option of being a damage dealer like them.

Asimo posted:I know the event minigames have been hit or miss for folks but I loved the hell out of Project Connectivity, even if I imagine playing on KB+M helps there. Pretty much the opposite of my deaf-rear end experience with the rhythm game last time, I got this one pretty easily. Case in point: on the final challenge how many objects do you think you need to clear it? I did both stages 2+3 using 2 objects a bouncy mushroom at the start point and a 4 leaf cover high up roughly in the middle. Bounce up to the middle and use the high clover to glide to reach each one

Convert them into wood in the teapot (50 per type of wood per week), and also you can throw them into the cooking accelerator for processed ingredients. Edit: Oh wait you mean the actual weapon exp ones. Find some weapons to level up. You must have something in your inventory at this point that would make a nice alternate for someone (or potentially be good for a future character).

You can also just trash them if you don't feel like leveling weapons. I've never used the trash button but I guess it can be handy there. I have 70 level 90 weapons so I'm still not at max ore.

Oh hey there's a trash button! Cheers. Levelling up weapons would probably be better, but I'd have to farm for the other mats first.

Weapon mats are some of the fastest to farm though? Like I think it only takes me 2 days of condensed resin to go 1-80+. You do you, it just seems like a waste when there's so many real time limits on how fast you can earn exp for weapons.

I think people in general under rate comfort, and being loving invincible while providing dendro is a pretty good comfort option to have. Comfort doesn't apply to dps checks. Koko got fairly bashed out of the gate. After a rework on corrosion and a new artifact set she got popular. I don't think snakeman really needs that - he's perfectly good for bloom teams. He's not a great solo off-field dendro bot, but that's ok. He's not exciting like a mistake character is and he doesn't break the game or reveal some broken thing. He just does what he does and it works in certain teams. It's not like his abyss is openly mocking him the way Kokomi's was. Space Opera posted:Weapon mats are some of the fastest to farm though?

I've also hit the limit and if not for a bunch of new weapons suddenly required I'd be trashing stuff also. You get [/so many/] from doing normal stuff and you'll eventually hit the same point. Sure you can level up a bunch of trash to 90 by spending resin but... why?

Corrosion and Clam were not the reevaluation joints for Kokomi except for people looking to backpedal when they hadn't properly appraised her after the ICD buff between beta and live patch. I suppose at the speed this moves through the community you can give some weight to needing more evidence in favor to finally drown out misinfo but the support was there for her on release.

Everyone agrees she was a good fit for (Ayaka) freeze and at this point most people feel that sukokomon isnt a realistic comp. How you felt about kokomi mostly hinged on your opinion of kokomi taser.

Doing the event sidequest I can't help but feel Doris JP VA has just done a total improve job on the script. Like when your game has Rie Tanaka and T.M Revolution voice acting in it and they aren't the ones chewing the most scenery and in fact not even close.

Obligatory complaint that the JP dub has Aoi Yuuki cast for a character with a grand total of something like 2 short paragraphs of spoken dialog so far, and not a single hot-blooded scream/shout in the entire thing. For reference (may be considered mildly nsfw). It's a completely baffling decision on hoyo's part.

Yeah the Koko slander had a lot to do with people heavily overrating 5* onfield hypercarries, and underrating teams with multiple damage sources, most of whom were 4*. This was right at around the time where people had mostly identified the strong enablers and buffers but didn't really have enough resources to raise tons of characters all at once. And the big teams that best took advantage of this were Ayaka freeze and Rational (people didn't realize this was a main dps Xiangling team with Raiden just being a driver and enabler lol). So the only use people saw for her was as Mona sidegrade in freeze. But Koko taser was always good. Sometimes BiS, too, like when the abyss dogs showed up. I do appreciate clam set, though. Sometimes I gotta burst with her as an emergeny heal and she ends up killing like 4 ruin drakes accidentally lmao

It gives you the materials needed for the first ascension of each character. Take every character you have to level 20 and ascend them. It'll give you a free wish on the standard banner. (You get a free wish every odd numbered ascension - so 1/3/5)
