I've dumped way too much resin into the new artifact domain and it refuses to give me an ATK% Sands of all things. That should be like the easy part! I'm reminded why I quit for awhile. At any rate Lyney is hitting decently hard already for only being Level 70 with Level 5 NA and kinda scuffed artifacts. Considering the idea of throwing my Shinobu's HP artifacts at C4 Yanfei for the shield... she oughta be able to burst often enough in a 3 pyro team hopefully?

shieldfei's er requirements are really high, thats part of the reason she doesnt get used more she should be able to manage it if your HP main stat pieces have good ER substats and you give bennett and kazuha/sucrose fav

Oh. Unfortunate. I can just throw Zhongli at the problem as always but I was wanting to try to not for once. ....I could build Dehya up with a load of HP% stuff and she serves a similar purpose. This *is* like the first real usage case for her basically since her release lmao

its that and the ganyu/nahida/dehya melt team but yeah dehya works well with lyney, though her interrupt resist only having a 9 sec duration at c0 is annoying. i have her at c1 tho so she works great

so the way the kaveh thing works is that it basically sets all the interactables to have the same system id as bloom cores and then kaveh just detonates them. might be a good idea not to let random people in your world until it's fixed tbh

delfin posted:Whereas mine at C0 needs some work. Trip report shows promise, but farming up Gilded EM Sands and Goblet and collecting Billets to refine her weapon will take a while. Shinobu doesn't need refinements for her weapons! All she needs is to be level 90 and to have 3 level 20 EM artifacts and some EM subs on her flower and feather. These are ideally Gilded/FoPL, but can be a 2x/2x combo of any EM artifact sets for now, or even just any 5 star EM artifact pieces you have lying at the moment. For the team, the most F2P friendly team you have access to is probably... Barbara(onfield)/Dendro MC/Yaoyao/Shinobu. You don't seem to have any of Alhaitham/Nahida/Baizhu so onfielding a hydro is totally fine. Dendro MC is a super solid deepwood holder, Yaoyao can be on instructors or whatever, not really important. I'd personally still go for Yelan anyway, tho

I can 2x Gilded, but 5 star EM means mixing and matching and +20 will require substantial farming. But at least I have a goal now. I'm at 65 pulls since my last 5-star, with the end of the month coming up, so... we'll see if I get to test the 50/50 or not. EDIT: Trying that team out. I can make two or three Blooms at a time, and with Shinobu at level 64 and 623 EM, hypers hit for about 8-10k each. So as the artifacts approach +20 and Shinobu's level rises, she should improve significantly. EDIT^2: If Barbara is spending more time on-field than DMC, where are the blooms coming from? I could see Barbara hitting her Hydro aura and then DMC spamming her skill to charge her burst, but not so much the reverse consistently. delfin fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Aug 27, 2023 |

YoshiOfYellow posted:I've dumped way too much resin into the new artifact domain and it refuses to give me an ATK% Sands of all things. But if you shield after Bennett -> Kazuha you can only fit two CAs into Venerer buff instead of 3. I tried very hard to make Yanfei work, Bennett EQ -> Kazuha EQ -> Yanfei EQ -> Lyney CA -> CA -> QE -> E -> CA -> CA can do it. Zhongli E -> Bennett QE -> Kazuha E (no Q) -> Lyney CA CA CA QE E CA lets you buff an extra CA and is a stronger shield, but you lose out on TTDS+lyney Q4+yanfei's particles (but yanfei can have energy issues with TTDS meaning things can go south in abyss... so I'm not sure which i like better). Note that starting with two CAs is long term better because it fully stacks Marruchessee, if you'll never use that set you can lead with lyney's QE E instead. Also I spent a bunch of resin on Marruchessee and have a sands and pyro cup (!) but no usable flower or feather. lol. No Wave fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Aug 26, 2023 |

I've been using Ayaka / HMC / Lynette / Sayu as my Fontaine overworld team. I have Sayu's C6, so I've built her full EM, and man, she's been going off: her Shatters hit almost as hard as a single tick of Ayaka's burst.

Being in Fontaine proper and getting hit with all sorts of new tutorials, it's kinda funny going back and comparing all of the newer ones to older ones. In the older tutorials, they'd use all sorts of different characters for illustrating different things (including Lumine), but after a certain point they were just like, "gently caress it, we're just using Aether for whenever we need a character, deal with it"

I haven't been interested enough to do more than checking out new character trailers, have they been saying anything about how development and popularity made them make changes to city size? I mean, Sumeru is huge vertically in a way that Liyue is more spread out horizontally. Fontaine is just enormous and has levels to it. If they were in like 2.4 and like 'Holy poo poo we can really expand area size a bit more since we're not going to run out of money' balanced by needing to keep it running on phones?

Endorph posted:i think given that they've had characters constantly mention areas that would link with them, we're going to get areas that link with them. just a Game Theory Surely this time we're finally going to Qiaoying Village! For real, though, the Fontaine plateau is manifestly not big enough to fit an entire expansion's worth of zones, so something's gotta give. Of course a lot of it could be underground or on a separate map like the Chasm and Enkanomiya, but with the rumours of a playable Cloud Retainer in 4.x, this seems like a good time for it. Yes, I said the same thing about Baizhu. Don't worry about it. I'll also note that there seems to be a "side entrance" to Fontaine just out of bounds on the east side:   This is probably the Lumidouce Harbour that gets a mention in the teaser quest from 3.8. It's bloody hard to make out in-game, but I'm pretty sure there's a whole elevator-and-dock assembly already modeled on the outer side. As seen from Sumeru:   (I turned up the contrast to make the silhouette clearer.) Here's a much nicer shot of that same vista for good measure:  At first I thought it was kind of a letdown how disconnected Fontaine is from the rest of the world (for now), but the way it changes the earlier regions' skyline is really cool. It leaves an awful lot of unused space beneath Celestia, though. There's easily enough room for three or four patches' worth of stuff in there; more than I'd expect to see in just 4.x.

The reason Inazuma looks like a rustic village and wooden castle in comparison to the other cities is because that's exactly what it is.

Finished my Golden Troupe grind for Fischl. Before:  After:  I got unreasonably lucky with these rolls. The only piece I had trouble with was the flower, and I could probably go back for a better one. Anyway, Fischl does about 13% more damage now, which is a significant upgrade that she absolutely did not need. Now her general purpose electro damage artifacts can go to... someone? Clorinde?

Which I guess is happening with the one that goes to Sneznaya, huh

You just need to be sure that you don't have Fischl on field for more than 2 seconds, so you get the 4-piece set bonus. If I don't do that, the damage increase over her old artifact set is more like 1%.

Tampa Bae posted:I just finished all the story quests and it was more like "I'm immortal but horribly depressed so I'm going to clone myself then go sleep in my room for 500 years" The unfinished territory in Fontaine is a lot closer to the playable zone than usual as well which is creating some really odd visuals in the Northeast corner of the zone. Granted it's only that way for a few more weeks, but usually they'll have some sort of hill or ocean obscuring the view of the unfinished territory to disguise it better. I figure the prison area is going to essentially be Impel Down from One Piece in any case. Also couple other thoughts, doing Faruzan's hang out it's pretty crazy how so many characters in the game have a melancholic backstory. Even Furina if you go to the one fountain you can somehow hear her inner thoughts crying about being lonely and broken, which along with her own inner self visions and general goofiness kind of indicates we're not getting a true rear end in a top hat antagonistic Archon this time either. On some level she's got to be able to put up a fight though obviously for when she becomes playable so I'm definitely curious to see what her powers and fighting style are like, but right now if I had to guess the Archon's we've met so far's fighting ability I would hazard it's something like Raiden>Zhongli>>>>>>Nahida=Furina=Venti. In the end the Tsaritsa is probably going to be the most powerful one since she'll eventually have all the Gnosis by the time we meet her the way the stories going.

Excelzior posted:what do the gnosis do exactly My theory is that they put some portion of their powers in it as a show of fealty to Celestia. (And to not get killed in the Archon War). Zhongli is still great in a fight but for example he can no longer make Mora without the gnosis.
