One of the things I never learn is every time I build a cool new team, I get excited to take them to floor 12 just to see them hard countered by element checks or boss gimmicks.

That is some weird rear end team building comp too. I don't know what would be good against both of those shields. Hydro counter is cryo, cryo is pyro, there's no good melt team...

I took the 2 team solution. I had to swirl pyro to get the cryos down in any reasonable timeframe, bennett+xiangling just werent doing it.

Yes. Most people own Jean and Jean is mostly a little better so Sayu doesnt see that much usage in abyss but there's nothing wrong with her kit (4Venerer, full atk build). For overworld she's amazing I use her every day. Hold E to start rolling and even if you release you keep rolling.

Early on you could also infuse Sayu with cryo and roll over water while freezing it but they patched that out. :mad:

Sayu is a great pull, congrats! Huge QoL upgrade for overworld/traversal stuff not just with the rolling but also carrying claymore for rock breaking etc. Plus I end up using the burst surprisingly often for healing in a pinch.

Sayu's roll and Kirara's box, alternated, are indeed a godsend for overland fast travel.

Today's project: the Golden Wolflord for Yue Jin. I've at least located him and have access to the island.

EDIT: Trip report: Attempt #2 worked. Albedo isn't all that effective at busting geo skulls but he got the job done eventually.

you do kinda hitch a bit every so often as you roll along the lake but you can and do still move forward. unless it glitches I guess.

Dropped all the pulls into the Yoi banner and failed to get the catbox yet again, so genshin impact is a bad game, actually <:(>

I did get a Yun Jin con and a rust copy to bring one to R5, tho, so I'm taking this as an omen to stop pulling before something (un)fortunate happens. No Yoi for me, thanks. Maybe next time...

If you can avoid having her get merked in a single hit, Yun Jin herself is pretty good at the wolf skulls. One fully charged skill can one-shot them

I was going to save after dumping last of gems into Baizhu last month and only getting Keqing, but I figured might as well use the 5 stardust ones now and see what happens.

My plan was to use my newly acquired kirara but two runs of 12-1 made me bring out zhongli for the first time this year.



I'll probably bring something else bot next clear. Maybe its time for 1.X team of hu tao + chongyun to see some play again.

What kinds of builds are we using on Kirara? At the moment, I'm using 2p Tenacity and Vourukasha for HP for shielding, and am testing out Sapwood Blade now that I finally figured out how to get its blueprint.

i don't know if it's optimal but i loaded up my kirara with EM (2x Wanderer's and 2x Gilded, Xiphos’ Moonlight) because i'm using her as an onfield bloommaker in nilou's team. i have no idea if that's good and correct but it sure is entertaining.

I think it freezes slower than Sayu can roll so it's not quite as fast as it could be. If I remember right they also used Ayaka or Mona in that mini game?

Yeah these Zero Hour Invokation characters were still pretty easy to predict even with them hiding behind those fake stage names based on personality types alone. Like who else is going to show up in the duels besides those characters when you factor in who doesn't have speaking lines in the event story. The sudden switch to actual dice rolls instead of just fixed omni dice making it more of a free for all but even match that they did with Ayaka and Collei was most unwelcome though. Lot of salt out there for the Ayaka match in general.

The omni dice solved the worse part of the game, I don't know why they took it away. It's so bad. The mana screw is so frustrating when you run decks with all the fixing, never mind the random crap they force you to take. It sucks.

UHD
Nov 11, 2006


think if the game used d6's instead of d8's the mana screw wouldn't be so bad. but then which elements do you cut.

i dunno. the one-offs where you use someone else's deck or a random draw don't bother me as much. it's a challenge i can't just swirl away - the itto deck match was actually kind of fun. but i also understand why someone wouldn't like it. wouldn't try to convince anyone otherwise.
