He wants all the EM and 200+ ER and that's... kind of a bitch. Combined with Nilou and a Dendro set Baizhu, though, when he hits E the world dies. How usable he is without Nilou? And what weapon do you put on him? Rainslasher feels like a waste and I was hoping an extra skill usage from sac sword would make a difference.

delfin posted:I'm at 127 vouchers and tapping out. I know of at least one in the underground that I can't work out how to reach, one challenge that I can't clear (the mushrooms by the choo-choo station, they're beefy and love to fly just out of range), and there's the one whose disguise never works, keeps turning into a bush and then that seems to repeat endlessly at intervals. For the mushroom challenge, I needed to switched to my ranged team (Ganyu) as melee was struggling there. 85 vouchers for myself, I started farming them yesterday but then I realized I don't care as much and can wait until I'l stumble whatever I need to stumble upon during the rest of the story. And get the rest after that.

Animations are out for the new characters and the only one that's super interesting is hydro traveler (she's not interesting because she's good lol). Looks like her cooldown on her weird cuphead fingergun stance only starts when she leaves it, so the viability of stuff like Sac Sword and Thundering Fury is up in the air at the moment. But she's a hydro that does hydro stuff for 13/20 seconds, soo... Main roles I can think of off the top of my head would be: 1. Second hydro in hyperbloom (please clap). I mean, as far as hydros go, she certainly is one of them  Something like Ayato/HMC/Nahida/Shinobu would work, but the problem is that Ayato doesn't ACTUALLY have huge amounts of downtime that need filling. I don't think she can do all the hydro stuff alone, though, and she has anti-synergy with Xingqiu/Yelan in fingergun mode, so her options are limited. Unless you ignore fingergun mode entirely, which you can, and probably should  2. Second hydro in vape. If the burst bubble doesn't mess up too badly by going through and then past enemies then she can be a functional Xingqiu/Yelan buddy for Hu Tao and the such. Not gonna be fingergunning in these teams 3. Dehya. If they release Dehya with, like, good numbers, HMC's frontloaded and seemingly concentrated burst hydro app that doesn't require normal attacks should be more than enough to enable them. I guess. Don't try to use Lyney this way. Please Her onfield hydro has huge downtime, and her off field hydro has different huge downtime, leaving her in the funky state of having both uptime issues and annoying field time requirements. Overall pretty meh. Would probably say that she's decently worse than C1 Candace, but coming from me that's not the hideous slur it might be from other people. The new floor for hydro (probably). That being said, if Candace dealt Deshret-type damage that was needed against forest-aligned enemies people would probably have a higher view of her (tho probably a lower view of the combat designers). Using only tap skills and possibly Sac Sword, HMC is looking to be the least intrusive Pneuma character we've got for the 4.0 patch. Possibly longer, if they follow up Pneuma Lyney with Ousia Whoever in 4.1. Will it be an obnoxious mechanic that steals teamslots, or a nothing mechanic that you mostly ignore? I never did end up caring if I electrified or burned the mushrooms in the end, so we're gonna have to wait and see. Archon hyperbloom machine gun is gonna be really fun in overworld  All the other characters are normal. Lynette seems fun and functional, not gonna be super sad to replace Kazuha if Ousia damage is needed. Uhhh, disclaimer, the teams dps will go down, a lot.

Yanfei tears it to shreds (not as well as hu tao, but one of these is easier to get your hands on). You do want to bring someone with a sword to knock its spikeballs back at it, though. They've got the best charge attacks for that.

I avoided that fight for ages because I'd tried it and it took me ages and I had to keep healing. Went back recently to grind out the bits I needed to level someone or other and... Its actually not that bad. Like its never going to be the boss speed run that say the pyro or cryo regisvine are, but its not really any worse than the other cubes are. Things I didnt have the first time I fought it that I did have when I went back to it; A decent enough team (A pyro dps, a shielder, someone with a fast edit: Its charged attacks that hit the iceballs, I misstyped. I like sword users for returning them myself, I was trying to use Diluc to do it the first time (as he was my pryro DPS) and his charged attacks sent them off at weird angles a lot of the time.

The Cryo cube is a piece of cake with Hu Tao, Klee or Yanfei but if you don't have them I can see it being a pain. Just put your best pyro in there and punt the frozen spikeball things back at it before going nuts on it.

Stare-Out posted:punt the frozen spikeball things back at it That was the part I was missing. Back in the day when Dragonspine was new, that stumped all of us, seemingly, so we had one dedicated spikeball beater while the others worked on the shield. But that was just knocking them away, not directionally.

The secret ingredient to ice cube is Diona. Any bow aimed shot counts as a charge attack to bounce back the spikeballs, diona's shield is extra effective against all its attacks, and her speed passive is useful in allowing you to reposition quickly. Doesn't even need to be leveled up that much if you have another healer 👍

Oh, now that I know that you have to actually hit the cube directly with its own iceballs, it's not bad. Before, I was running around sending them flying away and then wondering why the shield was still at 80% and I could never knock off its last centimeter of healthbar. Been a long while since I've needed to do this, but I think some of my resin's headed for the Mora blossoms. I've burned through 3M since coming back, and new characters and their artifacts won't level themselves.

O/P doesn't sound like it introduces much of interest, but it also only seems to act as an optional stun on some enemies. So it'll be an annoying part of farmable bosses and Abyss (which will always be annoying anyway) and won't matter anywhere else it comes up.

Popped the first chest in Klee's adventure land and got hit with a warning my artifact inventory was full, somehow. After sacrificing ~700 to the mulching box, I ended up with 4 potentially usable bloodstained pieces. Artifacts suck, man.

Completing 12 isn't hard, though it's certainly harder some rotations, as long as you're willing to put up with a shitload of repetition and other bullshit. As long as you have a reasonable roster it's just matter of if you want to spend a ton of time for that extra 50-100 gems. The answer is no.

Phase 2 of HydroDisney was pretty straightforward. I finally got Kaeya's costume, and cleared all of the goals except for 2:30 in the timed battle arena. If I can crack three minutes, I feel good about it.

So let me get this straight since I got home late last night after sleeping like poo poo all week and decided to get the event started. So Klee was invited out to visit a friend of her mothers who is living in some sort of genie bottle domain in the desert and Eula's cousin heard a rumor about it and is possibly looking to make a wish to ressurect their clans fortunes and Eula is there to stop him from potentially abusing it. Kaeya is accompanying us along the way and Kokomi was already there cause

The current abyss 12 is a real bitch tho. Full of elemental shields that require teams of multiple elements to break quickly. And those goddamn beasts the first half of 12-3 are a nightmare without a good shielder/healer as they stunlock you like crazy and are tanky as hell.

I can't remember what banner it was but I did waste a guaranteed 5* pull on a crap banner once because the button inputs on PS4/5 are the exact same for both "In BP window, access daily tasks, claim all" (R1->Triangle) and "In Banner window, choose second banner, do a 10 pull if you have the fates" because on the wheel the BP menu and the Banner window are right next to each other and the right stick can be pretty sensitive and claiming BP stuff is firmly in my muscle memory at this point.
