More useful (though this requires the person be around) is looting others peoples' worlds. There's a lot of time-limited stuff like fish and pre-Fontaine character materials that are sitting around untouched and can take days to respawn in your own world.

Fontaine Archon Quest spoilers With the Fortress of Meropide's arc submarine being revealed to be able to fly, I hope that it becomes a permanent installation on the map at some point like the Jade Chamber.RaptorChief posted:I gave this game a shot because I ended up really enjoying Star Rail, which was the first gacha game I’ve ever played. There are many questions I plan on asking over the next few days but I’ll start with the most important one. There's also like, an adventurer handbook or teapot battle pass when you're actually inside the teapot too, I didn't notice it for a long time. Congrats on reaching AR 35 without needing any help playing the game at all, feel free to ask literally anything, do wish for Furina if you can swing it, she makes water traversal extremely trivial.

Apparently the back half of the 4.2 banners will have Kuki Shinobu on them (allegedly). I do not have her and she seems very useful for stuff like Hyperbloom triggering (I don't have Raiden for this either if that matters). I would like at least one copy to work on her and have her and then maybe pursue constellations some other time whenever she's back around, so I'd like to throw a few rolls at the back half banners while I'm at no pity after Furina and just see if it turns one up. Here's the problem: While unlikely, I might get an early 5-star and I might win the 50/50, but I really have no interest in or use for either of Ayato or Cyno. So my question is this: Of the two, who would I probably hate lucking into least? I don't really care about their aesthetics or anything, I'm looking at it purely from a gameplay standpoint. My account is overloaded with big-ticket Hydro (I have Yelan, Kokomi, Furina, Neuvillette, C6 Xingqiu, and a regrettably high constellation Mona) and Ayato's generalist role doesn't seem particularly important as a result, but he seems easy and fun to play so I could always just put him aside and come back to him sometime for variety's sake. As for Cyno, I have way fewer Electro 5-stars but I also don't feel like I need or use them very much, and I don't think Cyno's playstyle really seems all that interesting to me. I also have godawful Dendro options outside of DMC and Yaoyao (wasn't playing during either Nahida banner), and I think he wants to be in Aggravate? Either way, I'm just wondering which banner would be the least regrettable if the 5-star turned up unexpectedly. I fully expect it not to happen. Would it perhaps be better to wait and see if a Raiden rerun is confirmed for 4.3, and go after her for Hyperbloom triggers, just to avoid risking it? I'd still be without any pity, but I wouldn't be risking trying to build and then blowing it. Raiden doesn't heal, but since I'm often running Yaoyao anyway out of necessity that's not exactly a problem.

Apparently Co-op players have found a bug where because Charlotte's basic attack is apparently hit-scan the player can be standing in a totally different region and as long as they are pointed towards you fighting an enemy her attacks will still hit. Apparently there's lots of bugs with how her targeting works so can likely expect some apologems shortly.

tbh it kinda sucks to say but I might just wait for Raiden. You aren't even guaranteed to get Kuki, and triggering pity on a character you know you don't want is rough. You've laid out good reasons why neither of the 5* interest you.

Sometimes it really does feel like you're less likely to pull a given 4-star banner character than the 5-star one. At least, there's no way to guarantee a specific 4-star. You could throw 180 pulls at that banner and still not luck into Kuki. Related: no Charlotte here either.

If you've got 50/50 I'd count your pity and pull until it hits 30 or so, Shinobu is very good. Dori can generally do the same job but not nearly as well. I can't talk much about Ayato, but Cyno is pretty fun to play with his incredibly strong feeling attacks in burst mode, but he does really want Dendro support, and even then mine's pretty much benched because the gacha has blessed me with a C6 Keqing, who does the same basic thing but with more flexibility. If you don't have Keqing you probably won't regret getting him. And even if you do, well, at least you made sure you didn't have much pity first. --edit Also yup no Charlotte yet here. No Shinobu from Cyno's debut banner, (I got her later though and she's awesome) no Mika or Kirarara although I think my pity might have been high enough I just skipped those? It suuuuuuuucks and there should be a way to force a 4 star. Captain France fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Nov 12, 2023 |

I think if you dont really want the 5 star but do really want a banner 4 star, its reasonable to tempt fate with a few pulls. As long as you don't go too crazy with it, the worst case is that you get a cheap featured 5 star. In terms of pure mechanical power/pull value I'd rate Ayato quite a lot higher than Cyno. He has a decent amount of versatility and can bring value to a variety of comps, where Cyno is one of the weakest 5 star carries who is basically pigeonholed into comps purely supporting him. Something else that might influence your decision: while most of Kuki's constellations don't matter very much, her C2 is *very* important for hyperbloom comps, both in terms of objective damage output and subjective gamefeel. hit button fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Nov 12, 2023 |

Doing something like 20 pulls for a 4* is fine, but don't go beyond that. Raiden will probably rerun very soon, and you'll likely get Kuki off-banner eventually. and yeah, kuki really needs c2 to be ideal for hyperbloom.

Hmm, I never thought about him, but Ayato might be a good candidate for a Furina + march hunter team. Wonder what's best? Jean/Bennett to enable some forward vapes? But circles are annoying. Maybe Thoma/Baizhu burgeon? Or just keep it simple with Fischl/Jean? Surprising amount of options, actually. I should really get around to leveling at least 1 march hunter set to start testing these sorts of teams. But I'm still not done pillaging the countryside, so maybe later.

Reminder for everyone struggling with Furina that she scales harder from burst talent levels (and regular 90/90 levels) than the average unit so if you're serious about using her you should take the time to beat up the new boss before the weekly reset. There's also a new quickstart function in case you haven't finished the archon quest

You could throw 180 pulls at that banner and still not luck into Kuki. Its amazing I can get Furina at soft pity on a guarantee, but it still feels bad that that + 20 pulls still gets me no Charlotte (but plenty of Beidou stardust). At this point, I'm just hoping she ends up as an event freebie in late spring/early summer or something. Baizhu/Furina felt pretty good in this event... but I was also using my own XQ and Shinobu, which probably obscured things somewhat.

If she wants constellations then it's probably not worth it. The odds of C2 in 20-30 pulls is far too low. Possibly still worth a single ten pull or something if the other 4-stars are people I don't have (I think one was supposed to be Kirara, but that's all rumors), just to see if I get anybody new, but I wouldn't be in any real rush to use anyone else from that banner, so it's probably best to just skip it.

She doesn't need C2. She's insane in hyperbloom at C0 and insane in hyperbloom at C2, her skill going from 12 second to 15 second duration is nice but it really isn't a big deal given that seeds stick around for a few seconds before expiring.

Kuki is absolutely viable as a hyperbloom trigger at c0, I had her pre-c2 for like a year in use without issue. Waiting for Raiden if you can horde enough for a guarantee is probably the overall better play, tho.

I like that in the newest areas they're pretty much just "some guy," but I'm not a huge fan of how much health they have compared to say, a regular-rear end boss. Nobody wants to spend 3 minutes fighting a goddamn treasure hoarder. I mean, nobody wants to spend three minutes fighting some water droplet either, but it felt like those had less health, at least.

It can run okay on a lot of phones but you have to suck it up and actually turn the graphic settings way down. Part of the reason it does better on tablets is that most phones usually start throttling things when they're run too hard to keep from overheating and Genshin will absolutely do that at full/high settings.

for what its worth genshin runs acceptably at the default settings it chooses for an iphone 13 mini - high resolution 30 fps. I play archers so it’s not a good time, but it performs perfectly fine. I could probably tweak the settings and get 60 fps with lower detail i probably wouldn’t be able to notice anyway.

Well, I'm sticking around a little more than planned because I did the Caribert quest and that was actually cool. Glad to see that Hu Tao still explodes the Abyss, too. And maybe, just maybe I can proc my guarantee on Furina to complete the Archon set despite a nine month break. Definitely missing the energy management QoL from Star Rail though.

I put it on my old rear end Samsung Galaxy 9+ when I went to visit my folks in Key West, Florida earlier this year and was running it off of 1-2 bar wireless internet we borrowed off our neighbour's router and it ran better than on my PS4 with a wired connection. We're talking an island in the middle of the ocean between Cuba and Miami Beach probably running off of AT&T architecture on a 5 year old phone and it ran better than on my PS4 back home with Fibe 40 18 milisecond ping. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I refuse to believe it can be less optimized than on PS4. For the record I don't play it on PS4 anymore, just PC. The only reason it's still on PS4 is I registered it from there before I got the modern PC and Sony got me locked into using it if I want to purchase a Gnostic Hymn cause it's not available from the top up site.
