Yoimiya pairs very well with a Rust, or if you haven't gotten one by chance, the Inazuma craft bow. ...which you may not have the plans for.

Coolness Averted posted:It also isn't very fun starting with meh cards and being forced to use filler literally worthless to your deck to meet minimum size requirements. I think folks really into the TCG forgot how bad the starting stuff is. It's a barrier to entry. If I have a half hour to play genshin I'm going to do some combination of something; currently fun, that gets me primos,or improves the base gameplay loop. that's how I'm feeling with it. like I actually enjoyed playing with the prebuilt decks during this event, just not in the mood to grind it out to make my own optimal deck

Like No Wave posted earlier, most of the card between decks are the same. You want card that mitigate the rng of the dice/cards, resonance abilities, and card that will turn into dice/more cards. After that, you only need to decide if your character are energy hungry enough for energy cards, and then you’ll only have 8-10 card choices left for healing/character abilities.

Yoimiya is also very strong with slingshot, the 3 star poopoo bow that everyone mulches by the dozens. It's stronger than every 4 star option other than exactly r5 rust. Also finally leveled the new ibis bow to 90 using today's event mats and can confirm that it's ALSO not really worth using over slingshot  Still gonna use it tho (fashion)

The entire meta in every Genius Invokation TCG tournament is resonance decks (I dont actually play much PVP but its just to underscore how good it is). You can look at 96 decks in a tournament and all 96 decks will be resonance decks. From a crafting perspective this is annoyong because -7000 coins, but on the plus side you can skip pretty much all weapons and all artifacts (besides gambler) to start with. If I were a newbie I'd buy the following and swap in resonances/talents/maybe weapons for the food and MREs and timmies as time goes on: 2x Leave it to Me (or whatever noelle card is called) 2x Changing Shifts (rosaria event card) 2x Strategize 2x Paimon 2x Best Travel Companion evar 1x Gambler (Artifact) 2x Lotus Crisp 2x Mondstadt Hash Brown 2x Timmie 2x Vanarana 2x Treasure Seelie 2x Rana 2x Mona event card 2x Liben 2x I havent lost yet (itto event card) 2x MRE 2x Mondstadt chicken 1x Katherine 1x smoked chicken 1x Adeptus Temptation 2x jade chamber 2x Mushroom Pizza I do think something generically usable like this should probably be the starter deck.

StrixNebulosa posted:I successfully assembled a team of four level 60 characters and raised my world rank Yeah just focus on keeping your 4 characters at the appropriate level for what you're running first. A full roster of characters that aren't geared or leveled is far less useful than a solid team. Also level is waaaaaay less important than having artifacts capped while you're still progressing. The stat gains are minimal. Plus you can always feed a junk artifact into a good one later, which you can't do with a bunk of junk characters.

Mona's deal is pretty simple. Her skill is a really basic AOE hydro application tool that also somewhat attracts enemies towards it, and her ult marks enemies with a debuff that makes the enemies take more damage on the next hit few hits. She's a combo character. Her best use is in freeze teams with cryo characters because her debuff stays for longer if they're frozen.

I wish I had a second Hydro character that isn't Barbara. Not that Barbara is bad -- she's the MVP against the Pyro Hypo, for instance -- but a more offensive unit would let me consider tackling Abyss levels with two Hyperbloom teams. I'm working on The Catch for Xiang and bringing Bennett and Yoimiyu up to speed, but I haven't found much of a way to weave Pyro into my New Bloom Order yet. I got Yun Jin last night, actually two of her, and slapped a Favonius Spear and some Opulent Dreams artifacts on her. I haven't tested her yet, as her gear needs leveling. As an old-timer who played MTG on his old Windows 95 computer, I can say that the criticisms leveled against the TCG are legit. The interface is clunky, there's very little differentiation between viable teams, and it takes a fair amount of fiddling to figure out what works and to trim out the dead weight. Is it bad? No, but it needs a lot of work to be more than a minigame-within-a-game.

New player Hydro thirst is real. Xingqiu doesn't come up in shop again until September, and who knows next time he'll be on banner again. Hydro Archon will likely be busted, but again, not until autumn.

in a team of Tighnari / Yae / Fischl / Baizhu, who should hold Deepwood i suspect the answer is Baizhu but i'm worried his AoE isn't really up to it. but on the other hand a Tighnari team is probably leaning towards single-target damage anyways...

tighnari has two pretty good dps sets so deepwood on baizhu is probably better even if you occasionally miss out on the shred in aoe situations

No Wave posted:In some teams its possible but that one its kinda weird. If you fully believe in slingshot rear end hugging its workable but eh. I just use Tighnari for it his other 4 piece options arent really gamechanging anyways. i have a really nice Wanderer's set on him and really don't want to re-farm it i may just not make that team; there's no way i'm ever removing Nahida for overworld purposes, her utility passive alone is too good there, and in abyss, etc. i could just keep Yaoyao in the above team and put Baizhu somewhere else Endorph posted:tighnari has two pretty good dps sets so deepwood on baizhu is probably better even if you occasionally miss out on the shred in aoe situations Endorph posted:you could do deepwood tighnari and instructor baizhu to sort of approximate the em boost from gilded probably wouldn't have thought of the latter myself; thanks for the suggestion

Just slap deepwood on every dendro and who cares if some other set is like 5-10% "better" in a certain specific scenario. Gives you way more flexibility to throw together random odd teams.

Taking notes on how to run Mona, thank you! I've also been alternating her costumes and while they're almost identical, I DO like the alternate better, so thank you thread for telling me to use it!Coolness Averted posted:Yeah just focus on keeping your 4 characters at the appropriate level for what you're running first. Ah, I'll focus more on weapons for a while now! That said, hmm. While I'm hammering out my main team, I want to keep at least 8-12 characters "current", because A) spiral stuff wants two teams and B) I LOVE swapping characters around and trying new teams, and it makes me sad to see a row of level 20s I can't use. ... that said I'm getting pickier the more I play, and building my own internal tier list - Amber's not getting more levels, but Yae is, Kaeya might, Lisa not really, etc etc... it's also fun seeing characters I wasn't chuffed for get really powerful in good combos, ala Noelle and Yun Jin being a fun geo team that you cannot kill.

So the event story does give you a special card. I'm guessing it'll go to the shop afterwards given that the dynamic skin says "you can buy this from the card shop after the event ends".

I like how many of the furnitures you can get from Remarkable green chests in the desert have some sort of flavor text somewhere like "And there was a certain long golden dark haired mercenary that did this extra crazy thing that one time with this thing". Like one roadblock spear type item basically tells the story of how they had to Shaq-Proof the design against Dehya because she made a reputation for just rampaging right through them. The furniture stuff is honestly some of my favorite absurdly lengthy text in the game.

So I decided to see if Genshin would run on my wife's new laptop. Remembering the 22GB download that it did on my phone, I grumbled a bit. Genshin installer: "Required space: 59 GB. Required space for unzipping: ~115 GB."

It's kind of crazy to see the ways the hooks the gacha sinks into you can appear with these games. I'm having to cut back at least temporarily, and probably won't even be consistently keeping up with dailies for a while, but I still keep having the thought 'should I at least get the welkin so I have more resources if (presumably when) I get back into it?' I'm not doing it, partially because it seems crazy and partially because my track record suggests I usually don't return with the same enthusiasm once I've backed away from a game, but it's pretty tempting. Obviously it's way, way more expensive to buy the primogems outright if I decide I absolutely need them later, so I guess I just need to not play in the future if I feel like I missed out that badly.
