lol at Ayaka pointing a gun at the camera Pulp Fiction style Also lol at Chevruse pulling a whole family dinner of fried junk food out of thin air and the despair on Traveler and Paimon's faces when she wouldn't share. The three 4* characters for next banner are Chevruse, Kujo Sara, and Xinyan. The 5*'s for Lantern Rite's patch are expected to be Xiao & Cloud Retainer, then Nahida & Yao. Since Ganyu & Shenhe are getting skins, they'll probably appear in 4.5?

New 4*s almost always being on the second half banners really fucks me over as someone with a lot of very built/max/c6 characters. Like, if I want Chevy, I'd have to roll the Yoimiya banner and I don't want her cons. I already have a c6 raiden so I can't roll there. And the chance of getting Chevy is actually pretty low because there's no guaranteed 4* pity. I lucked into getting Mika, Freminet, and Kirara off-banner. This is more than likely going to have to be the case with Chevy. The only way I'd get Gaming is if he comes with a 5* that I still wants cons for, like Yelan or Neuvillette. The three banner system can't come fast enough. MoonCrab posted:National was an old example, the new hotness is march hunter Furi Yelan. In order to not fit into Furi Yelan you'd pretty much have not care about dealing raw talent damage at all, because march hunter Furi Yelan gives like 80-100 damage% and 36 crit rate. I cannot fathom the level of poopoo garbage a unit would need to be, to make this unworkable. Because while I was out I tested stuff like physical rust Ganyu and it was unironically decent. The floor is sooo high it's kinda crazy. Quick question, in the march hunter Furina/Yelan dynamic, who wears march hunter? And does it require C6 Furina like reddit (lol) seems to suggest?

I can't see why it would require C6 furina especially since her c6 buffs buffs her normals for 1 string after using her skill. Some of her cons are quite powerful and making her ult more effective obviously enhances that strategy but she should be able to turn on the crit buff all the way from c0 as long as you keep her summons up (and have some sort of party healing so they can keep the hp drain train going).

That's why I'm asking! My assumption is that in the march hunter Furina/Yelan dynamic, Yelan would be wearing MH, but maybe my assumption was wrong haha

Yelan and Furina are the core which supports a Hunter set damage dealer. Neither uses MH. Yelan probably uses Emblem and Furina uses Golden Troupe. You pair them with one healer (for Furina's Fanfare) and someone who does Normal attacks on-field. That on-fielder uses MH, because MH doesn't work unless the character is on-field. So you would do like Yelan+Furina and then Charlotte+Ayaka, or Bennett+Diluc, or Kuki+Alhaitham, or Noelle+Gorou. MH goes on the damage dealer of the pair you are adding in (so e.g. Ayaka, Diluc, Alhaitham, or Noelle). Or for exploration you can do Jean+Kazuha, where Jean just bonks things to trigger Yelan attacks in between Kazuha pulling things in for Furina's pets to AoE; in that team, no one uses MH because overworld exploration poo poo is easy.

Also note the upcoming Xianyun will probably work as a healer flex in basically all of those teams except the ones that want another elemental resonance (or you could replace Yelan with someone for resonance purposes, especially if they're not a normal attack user), since she can heal and VV shred and maybe group a little. Good Furina synergy even if not using the plunge gimmick. Baizhu/Yaoyao as a healer flex is also a possibility, though probably not so much with Hyperbloom as Spread/Aggravate since Hyperblooms don't benefit from MH.

AParadox posted:I accidentally ran geo hydro team in noele talents domain and suddenly found that hydro actually breaks cryo shields on its own when I thought it did not react in any way. Also geo is way more effective vs cryo than I remembered but maybe its just shatter. I would insist this was a property unique to Furina's summons, until you said XQ's ult was reducing their shields. That did not happen the last time I ran XQ/Kokomi (accidentally) in that domain. I'm not sure when that's changed. The cryo mage wiki still lists the shields as being invulnerable to hydro. https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Cryo_Abyss_Mage

I don't have Nahida either but she's miles ahead of every other Dendro character in the game, and Hyperbloom is very strong so if you care about having strong characters then yes, Nahida is basically one of the strongest and most important to pull for For Raiden, my understanding as long as you have Fischl & Kuki Shinobu, maybe Beidou then Raiden isn't completely necessary as she's just a stronger version of those characters for reaction teams Tampa Bae fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Dec 23, 2023 |

Oh, my bad, heh. I was planning on Raiden, but I don't know if I'll be able to get enough primos after her to ensure Nahida. Especially if I lose the 50/50 on either. I'm not f2p, just Welkins and maybe the bp. I bought it last month, but the poe league kept me busy this one and I'm not confident I can max it out, and it only seems worth it if you can max it. The 10k / week limit is dumb. I have Kuki and Beidou, so I can pass on her if needed. Of course, the game would rather I just buy the $100 primo pack with the double first time bonus, heh.

I'm a bit late to shield chat, but for newer players, here is a short guide to shield damage in Genshin: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SUc9A7O5C7CX0qYHmCqB44uhpHYY-Txgv6rdibM8Jw4/edit List of enemy resistances and GUs needed to break shields: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1196OGAGBtFV_wPGwd6jME4JBYDOQdToAP3jhcZshq-I/edit#gid=0 Most Abyss shields (not Fatui shields) do take normal damage, it just requires 500% max HP to fully shatter, which is achievable on mages but not lectors.

So my luck on the Navia banner wasn't amazing (I think Star Rail sucked up all my luck recently) but skipping a few banners previously helped so all good. Still enough primos saved to hopefully get musket girl and another Raiden constellation next banner. Navia C0 with her signature axe and some decent artifacts is good. Nothing world shaking but good and fun to play, so that's a good outcome. Will continue to use. I am not confident about my ability to get Chinese Bayonetta in 4.4 but ah well, can't have everything.

I don't regret pulling on Navia at all, because now that she's up to level 80 and a little bit better built critting enemies with a single shotgun blast for 200k damage absolutely rules and unlike Neuvilette you don't have to worry about being shielded, knocked out of your skill, or even set up, you can just deliver drive-by executions on enemies once I get a Nahida and Kazuha I won't have to worry about pulling on banners anymore, I can just save for banners I like instead of on things I need

Even if it's just "poise" breaking them, that's still new that XQ's ult does that. The document mentions "regular damage" breaking shield and not poise damage so that might be what I was actually seeing. In some other tests I did it the shield damage had very little to do with the poise inflicted but the damage being the factor would explain it, for example https://streamable.com/jr0k2z, sword CA do more poise damage than yelan ult barrage but they barely scratch the shield. I also saw koko normals, CA and Neuv normals do next to no cryo shield damage while Neuv CA almost broke it on its own. The reason why I thought something changed its because the last time I've ever attempted to break cryo shields with hydro my characters were much weaker. Edit: this also helps explain why every now and then I've seen Eula ult nearly one shot abyss mage shields . Or why I found geo to be far more effective than I remembered in that domain.

With a max rank skill, level 90 Navia, level 90 Skyward Pride, and decent artifacts from her new set, I crit for maybe 40-60k on drivebys against random mobs without any setup. The big hits require a bunch of extra poo poo like TTDS/Tenacity/Bennett burst/building up a bunch of ammo, which doesn't really work on overworld mobs who are dead before you can do all of that.

She's not even necessarily stronger than them. Unless you're giving Raiden field time for her burst to be Temporary Better Keqing, Fischl outdamages her and Beidou can out damage her for multi-target, although her energy needs can be an issue. EM Raiden vs EM Kuki is a choice between range and healing + aoe mostly. Raiden isn't bad, but her direct competitors are some of the strongest characters in the game while also being 4 stars. Unless you're using her as a carry, then she's competing with Keqing and Cyno and honestly I think she's close to even on that one too. But the entire electro carry niche really wants Nahida, so if you're choosing between Raiden and Nahida then Raiden's on field use doesn't seem like it should be a major consideration. I guess there's also Raiden National, but do you really want to run your Xiangling, Bennett, and Xingqui with less ER to take advantage of Raiden's ER boost on exactly one team? Just run Sucrose National instead. You even get crowd control as a bonus. --This post signed by the Something Awful Forums' #1 Fischl and Sucrose fan, tbf

I've recently added Neuvillette to the "worth real money" list as well, but strictly speaking, the only two must haves are still Zhongli and Kazuha.

Confirming that you can in fact do damage to a Hydro Abyss Mage shield with regular attacks. It ain't much but it will slowly wear them down.
