Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
4.3 we will probably get no new explored area, then 4.4 and 4.6 should have new areas.

But, depending on drip marketing, Genshin may release under 17 characters for the first time in a year? They would need to release 2 4 stars alongside Navia to reach their quota.

Man, it's been so long since I rolled on a banner that I don't have enough Stardust to buy out all this month's Fates yet. Save me, Furina!

Genshin is turning my brain into pudding because instead of just playing the game normally I'm constantly trying to min/max on who to roll for despite rotating members out as soon as they hit friendship lvl 10 and never attempting the Abyss.

The good news is they drop seeds, so you can grow like 3 batches before his banner's out and you can buy 15 from shops every 3 days so that's almost 70 less you have to actively farm leaving you to get 96 total (Because the game gives you 3 for his trial)

Holy Cow I thought this Lyney trial I'd heard about was going to be all of the 4.0 update not just act 1. Anyway in picking up story tidbits around the Court of Fontaine I figure that the pulitzer prize thing is going to be Charlotte's eventual hangout somehow and helping make sure she wins it. Already getting a lot of those crumbs for future story arcs like the Chioriya boutique which is closed and you can't get in at the moment. Probably when Chiori gets her story quest we'll be able to go inside I figure.

I like that they made the Steambird offices the Reputation center for Fontaine too. Considering thats like the town square for gossip and goings on it just makes perfect sense


Anyway have some Charlotte in Mexico for the day of the dead. We can just pretend this is Natlan or something.

First Half: Baizou & Furina + Charlotte, Beidou, and Collei
2nd Half: Ayato & Cyno + Kuki Shinobu, Xiangling, and Kirara

I don't really need another main DPS but those look like good banners to me. Everyone should want more Kuki and Xiangling cons if they're not maxed already. Kirara's max does nothing unless you're big into multiplayer

3.7 Phase 1 with Yoimiya and Yae Inazuma theme banners. Basically around the time most people stated saving or went into hibernation waiting the next 3-4 months until the Fontaine arc. I still played through a good chunk of it to catch up on Sumeru stuff which is why I'm sitting on like 45K primos, 8K crystals and 100 masterless stardust.

I do appreciate they put a new 4* in Furina's banner instead of screwing us over with a lovely 4* lineup, because they could get away with it due to it being an archon banner.

I haven't played this game since February, but part of me wants to collect the next Archon since I have the other three. What are the odds I can collect about 40 wishes playing through the content from Dain's Sumeru quest and forward?

Yeah I don't find Ayato or Cyno worth a pity risk so they're not particularly good banners for Kirara to be on.

And yeah her launch banners seem to have been skippable too. Yae would have use but absolutely a hard sell in the face of Fontaine.

Probably good if you played a ton and did a ton of the content. That's alot of playing, though.

I feel kinda weird when people say that they're not interested in picking up new characters because they already have an established team. Like, there's only like 4 types of characters here, a DPS, healer, shielder or healer. But saying that is a few steps off from saying gamble more so I'm conflicted.

Charlottes a party-wide cryo healer whose cryo application off-field is functional and on-field is decent. Her energy situation is atrocious and she will most likely need ER sands + energy weapon most of the time. As a result, you can't count on her to deal damage or hold utility weapons like TTDS on most of her teams. Best in Furina teams, for who this type of character is pretty useful. Decent as a driver, pretty mediocre in most other teams.

Possible teams:
Neuvillette/Furina/Kazuha/Charlotte: Reaction bot, freeze is a comfort choice
Wriothesley/Shenhe/Furina/Charlotte: Triple cryo might be enough to allow her to run TTDS, testing needed
Charlotte/Nahida/Xingqiu/EMRaiden: Comfortable hyperfridge for freezable enemies
Charlotte/Nahida/Xingqiu/Thoma: Comfortable burgeonfridge. Charlotte prob runs Fav+Instructors in these 2 teams.
Navia/Furina/Albedo/Charlotte: It was revealed to me in a dream

The big overall problem with her kit is that I've been testing Mika with the Fontaine craftable spear, and on Furina teams it makes him so simple and easy to use that, unless you specifically need cryo application, it's usually easier to use him instead :/

But it teams where the application IS useful, you can find some use for her. And of course, Mika aint exactly a superstar himself, so skipping him altogether and just using Charlotte is fine if you like her better.

So I haven't played actively in a while (midway through Sumeru) but decided to pull for Neuvillette on a whim. Is there an easier way to get his mats other than progressing through the story and unlocking everything?

You can wander around and collect them on the beeches, but you'll have to make your way to Fontaine. Even easier than that is asking to visit other peoples' worlds in discord and just using their teleporters and picking them up.

The only mats of Neuvi's that are locked behind a quest are his weekly boss talent mats. Everything else you can get just by walking to Fontaine and exploring.

haypliss

The only story-related block on his materials is unlocking the Apep weekly boss which is behind both of Nahida's story quests, which in turn require Sumeru completion. But you can still farm his world boss and sea creatures/starfish to ascend him and hit 6/6/6 talents.

I stopped mid-Sumeru too, came back at the tail end of Neuv's banner, and I haven't revisited the story, but I just looked up where Fontaine was on the map and ran there (northwest from Sumeru, then northeast, then keep going northeast, then keep going northeast, forever). My Neuv and Wrio are both 80/90 without touching the main story since Sumeru. You can do all the swimming to get to Neuv's ascension-mat boss without touching the story, and his starfish are scattered on the beach and in the ocean near it. Easy peasy.

Note: You'll CURRENTLY need to do Nahida's own story quest to unlock the world boss that drops their weekly mat (for talents 7-10) but supposedly they're adding a Quick Trounce Domain option soon to just let you go to them without doing stuff like that.


On the topic of the water cannon god: The team I'm running with him right now feels incredibly comfy for overworld exploration: Fish, Kaz, Zhongli. Archer for shooty puzzles, Kaz for climbing, ZL for instantly popping ore. And they're one of his best comps at c0, I guess?

The only thing you'll need to unlock for Neuvillette is The Realm of Beginnings/Apep (A weekly boss) for Talent lvl 7+ which comes in part 2 of Nahida's story campaign. Everything else in Fontaine is unlocked as soon as you can travel outside of Mondstat and there's a teleporter already lit up for all players once they hit that point to get into Fontaine

Sayu and Yaoyao don't startle crystal flies, lizards, crabs, and eels (and some other crap). Of course they make them short so they can't grab the crystal flies.

I think it's because it's such a time sink in order to get characters to 80/90 with 6+ talents.
