Tbh some of us (Pick) use this website more than others and I feel that I am unfairly subsidizing picks posting. Unless some kind of fee by post usage is enabled were basically instituting a forced welfare state of posting.
I always help pom pom because he works hard to keep the express going and making sure we all have juice.

You cannot play this game for longer than 15 minutes a day once you've finished the main story and exploration. Not a complaint.

It's such an unusual experience to me. Even if I load it up I don't have any energy to make any progress so I just close it down a minute later. It feels like gaming methadone.

Normally when I get to this point in gacha games (log in, do dailies, turn it off) I get mad bored at the regularity but it hasn't settled in because auto battle is a breeze.

If you want to make the rounds killing the daily add respawns for the secondary ascension mats which aren't part of stamina fights, it takes about an hour while multitaking down at the screen while watching something else on tv. Paying attention, making beeline without distraction, probably like 20-25minutes

Is there any reason to salvage relics/LCs before using them as leveling fodder?

Similarly, will using or salvaging an already-upgraded relic/LC pass on any of the already-spent XP?

Brutor Fartknocker

It passes on 80% of the experience. Salvaging is just so you don't have to feed multiple pages of relics, it's the single/three stacks of dust.

using an already leveled lc/relic passes on about 80% of the exp

the only particular reason to salvage relics is that if you salvage 5* relics you get a currency that you can use to synthesize a specific 5* relic (in terms of both set and gear slot). the stats are still random but it helps if you're trying to build a specific character and cant find a piece of a certain type.

Salvaging un-leveled gear makes the inventory less of a mess, which I think is nice.

so salvaging gets you the dust exp, and the other thing that you need to craft ones from scratch?

Brutor Fartknocker

Oh, there was a lot of... I'll be generous and call it account maximizing slapfighting talk a few pages back, but didn't see anyone mention this.

Spend your embers for mats. There's all sorts of handy stuff in there, all for the low low price of currency that very slowly turns into rolls in the long-term. Having played genshin on and off it's whole length, I never spent those in the beginning, and I've gone months without playing except for logging in to grab the 5&5 rolls out of that shop. Still sitting on more, since past a couple months you'd never need to buy mats, but right now it's a good boost for leveling stuff.

Salvaging gives you EXP for 4* and below relics, and relic fragments for 5*. you need 100 relic fragments to craft a new 5* relic. Optionally, you can use 100 relic fragments and a Modeling Resin to make a relic with the main stat chosen.

I really feel bad for Arlan. Everyone seems to forget that he is a playable character but looks like nobody rolled him even as a 4 star. Nobody around the internet talks about him or even use him in any guide at all. I already played through his story and I admit that I forgot about him until he showed up on the train.

Poor guy.

The rundown of Arlan that I read was:

quote:

Arlan has a berserker like build, he requires low hp to deal good damage. He’s easily prone to faint without his E4, this makes him difficult to use at lower Eidolons. His E6 makes him a hard hitting AoE capable character. Using him requires HP management and can deal very good damage when used properly. His skill consumes HP% instead of a skill point, which grants him some flexibility in teams.

Mine is at E2, and I have Serval for Lightning coverage. So that classified him as "future project" rather than someone I'd want to focus on right now, even with a Something Irreplaceable to put on him.

He's sitting at level 1 right now alongside Herta. Most of my other chars are at or are at least limit-broken to 60, with Dan Heng and Asta at 50.

Speaking of trash characters, I take back what I said about Himeko.

I got used to that space dragon echo of war so on a whim I thought I'll try Asta and Himeko on that battle and I barely had traces on Himeko and just underdeveloped relics on her and she just completely shredded the boss. Almost as if they designed her solely for that boss

That would be the job of the engineer to steer you into the sun. The conductor is just the person that walks down the train to check your tickets.

I think I'm going to try her on SU6 Cocolia. Maybe I'm not valuing Tingyun enough, but it sure feels like some fire AOE and follow up attacks that trigger on breaks might help with that fight. Tbf I've only done it once so far and my tree is super unleveled so it's probably just a matter of time anyway.

Yeah she's great for SU paths that favor follow up attacks, and have multiple enemies to deal with on the screen. Single target is eh

I love how Jing Yuans trailers and the Space China arc so far makes it perfectly clear that this guy might as well be General Chad Chaderson the coolest guy ever. Its like Big Ayato energy basically. Handsomeman design, great fighter, the wise philosophical chessmaster, the revered public figure that mentioning you know them gets you out of jail free, the tragic backstory forcing him into a role he probably didnt want but is super good at anyway despite nobody quite understanding his pain (TM)

The only thing he's lacking is the perfect little sister that everybody loves even more than him yet still is there to pump his tires at every opportunity, but he has a lion and protege instead I guess

I like him and would like to use him, but I feel like everything where lightning is a significant weakness end up being an AOE situation where he's just worse than running Erudition. Aside from that he seems like a character who needs more investment to shine, and in the early game that's just not the sort of character I'm looking to take on yet.

Himeko's brightest moments are very specifically the two current echoes of war bosses, human Cocolia, and the deer, who all play exactly to her very specific strengths in the exact same way - fire weak main boss that continually spawns extremely fragile adds that are also weak to fire, easily broken, and need to be killed constantly. In that situation, she's extremely potent.
