Ugh, I’m way behind on HP, sitting around 6500 right now. I don’t understand how people are on top of their relic game. Do people farm lower tier relics just to get level up mats? Because I’m completely tapped at the moment.

its rng honestly, rng of farming the relics with the right stats and getting those relics from farming in the first place. and yeah i just shove in any relic not yellow tier into the grinder and get the relic level up mats.

honestly i'm hitting the end of my stocks as well though

8k is practically impossible without a 5* LC, though, unless you just give up on speed and ER completely.

Not sure how reliable this page is, but it says "CN Community recommends Fu Xuan to have >7000 HP, this number goes down with more DEF% and RES" which seems more attainable without emptying my precious jade purse ahead of Jingliu.

Yeah, my Fu Xuan has less than 7000 HP, but she has a good amount of defense thanks to the Gepard LC, and a bit of extra damage reduction from that one relic set. It seems fine. I do think for aiming for more than 7k is probably for the best, but I think breaking 8 is unnecessary.

I'm at 7k as well, but that's with Landau's, broken keel, spd boots, and ERR rope. Could just go full hp% I guess but I think the extra spd/err/etc. is probably more important?

the actual best value to aim for to get the closest to 6969 hp or 8008

So in March's quests, Fu Xuan mentions she's blessed by the Wisdom Walker, whos that, is that another Aeon. Kind of getting lost on the entities. Like there's Aeons. Their avatars? what are the other ranks relating to them

Read the small text, she was referring to Nous, the Erudition. The Xianzhou has their own titles for the Aeons.

That's something that kinda bothered me about Fu.

in that companion mission it does make sense for her to say that she was blessed by Nous, and everything else about her scream Erudition. She always love to talk in those long winded sentences with super hard words, she's the master diviner who can predict the future by studying the divination which in a way is trying to find the truth of everything (which is what Erudition is all about) and her ultimate animation is a little bit over the top for a Preservation character. I wonder if there was some miscommunication between the character design team and the game play design team and they just decided to just let make this work since it would be funny to have a tiny girl be a absolute tank?

The mechanical paths have never really lined up with the characters' actual in-story paths. For example, Dan Heng is NOT aligned with Destruction.

The real question is whether it is actually proving an issue for you? You can either grind around the theoretical rng of being nuked with 51% health or maybe take alternative action. Apparently with 6500 health and s1 landau's choice, you need 1500 defence to guarantee you will avoid the biggest current one-shot. You hit 6750 and the defence needed drops to 1400 and so on, higher super-impositions can come. You don't need that light cone, you need that flying ice maiden.

Possibly more relevant issue is that I am not sure what you mean by farming "lower tier" relics so I'm just going to throw out that you can (and should?) use 5* relics for relic xp too, you just have to manually add them instead of salvaging. You can toss your junk level 1 5* relics into the reroll pile later on down the line when you have level 15s on your crew and you're fishing for new pieces.

This is something I haven’t been doing. I’ve just been mass salvage everything and end up with not nearly enough mats. But I suppose I only need enough reroll mats for when I can craft with resin.

Crafting without resin is very useful too, though, because it lets you target the set and slot you want. When I'm actually farming relics the game loves giving me hats and gloves or stuff from the opposite set that I don't actually need. Turning those into a chance at a crit rate chest for the desired set (or speed boots, or an err rope, etc) is great.

It's just a matter of what you need more: new relics or relic exp. But I figure you get relic exp over time anyway so new relics are preferable.

After some experimentation today I discovered that Matrix of Prescience, even though it has a big flashy field-wide graphic effect, isn't actually a field effect and thus you can have both it and Luocha's Abyss Flower field up at the same time. You know, in case you feel like having a team that is entirely unkillable as opposed to mostly unkillable.

I'm not sure why you would've thought otherwise. Neither character says anything about only allowing one group buff at a time or anything of the sort.

Luocha is the only one with a “field” anyway right? And even then it just says “deploys a field” because it’s not individual buffs on every character.

No, it doesn't.

quote:

When Abyss Flower reaches 2 stacks, Luocha consumes all stacks of Abyss Flower to deploy a Field against the enemy. When any enemy in the Field is attacked by an ally, the attacking ally's HP is immediately restored by an amount equal to X% of Luocha's ATK plus Y. The Field's effect lasts for 2 turns. When Luocha is knocked down, the Field will be dispelled.

No restrictions whatsoever except that it goes away if he dies.

EDIT: Himeko's Technique does say "only one dimension created by allies can be in effect at a time", but that's specifically referring to the running-around-the-map part of her Technique itself.

Speaking of which, I did some maths. It's a sketchy approximation based on beta numbers and the specific relics I have lined up for her, but I think I sold Jingliu's other 5-star options short the other day. Fall of an Aeon S5 and Something Irreplaceable S1 should both be strictly better than Secret Vow S1, and... maybe better than, or at least competitive with, an S3-5 one. Annoyingly, it massively depends on how much uptime you think you can get out of their triggered buffs.

It's only on her Enhanced Skill attack, but sorry no she's actually very good from what I hear. Somewhere between Seele and DHIL in power levels I think? Yanqing is already obsolete honestly, he just fills a niche that isn't in any of the current high level content. But yes, she makes him completely obsolete by herself.
