These are the stories I need to stay strong. Until I pull a Mona dupe when rolling for Zhong.

My only other 5* is a C1 qiqi, so at least now I have a good pick for a main dps. Still, I have no good bows for him, so hes going to be on the back burner for a good while. Hopefully these rumored new prototype weapons will have something good.

I'm glad I picked Mondstadt to level first, because I'm probably going to have to use the teleporter for the remaining delivery quests. I've got a PS4 slim, so I'm losing 30 seconds on the clock.

I hope they are planning some sort of optimization for console players soon, I did the Chi of Guyun quest today and the vault section was nearly impossible with all of the lag.

I can usually do it with "chip them down, then pluge attack/noelle's ult" but I think that's the configuration where I have to use QiQi's ult to get them all in one go. It wouldn't be so bad if the harder configs gave you 2-3 more seconds. I almost always skip this particular one and the "destroy the balloon over a water course" because they just arent worth it.

I'm working on equipping my Noelle to help out with the Childe boss fight since I can barely pass it by the skin of my teeth. Do we know if the new claymore in 1.2 is going to be support oriented? I'm probably going to go Whiteblind, and I've got two prototypes, but I don't want to waste one like I did with my sword prototypes...

After thinking that fight is super tedious for like three weeks I finally put in some absolutely minimal effort in studying it and discovered that (rather unsurprisingly) he has hydro and electro RES out the wazoo - seriously, in phase 3 he has 70% RES to both of them. Switching comps from ones involving Keqing, Fischl and Mona to a Xiangling/Fischl/Diona/Bennett melt/superconduct comp just made the entire thing absolutely trivial. I feel really dumb now but welp, never too late to learn I guess. You might not be having the same problem at all but I figured it couldn't hurt to share.

Actually this does help, as I use Fischl for a lot of my dps when I'm too scared to get close. I should be able to do a melt team, I'll have to see if that works better for me!

Oh I realize that, and I'm not going to pull. Even with the buffs, I dont think I'd care for his playstyle. I much prefer the Tartaglia I lucked into. It just feels like this great character was wasted.

If you don't have the time for the whole event, prioritise buying the crystals to refine the sword imo

And grab the chunks that upgrade the refinement level. I've got it on my Benny and its adding a very nice increase to his E.

In order to access all of the mountian theres a fairly long quest chain, but I don't think you need it for the event. All of the event missions have spawned below the cutoff at the Statue I think?

You should be able to, none of the event stuff takes resin, and so far they've just been "fight 3 waves of normal mobs", repeat about 20 times to get the shop bought out. The quest line to unlock the domain is much longer.

On one hand, as someone without either Venti or Zhongli I am very happy to see a rerun. On the other....all of my primos are being reserved for Xiao now that I have Albedo.

Also, it low key annoys me that the only collectables in Dragonspine are mint and pinecones, maybe a few conches. They couldn't give us some mist flowers or something, or a recipe that uses more than 1-2 mint?

I'm sure this co-op event can't be THAT bad at WL5..... :eyepop: Jesus, at least they could spawn you into the shield area if you retry while the death zone is active. I think I died 3 times back to back because of that.

Did they do ZERO testing on the beta servers? It feels like if you were physically plugged into the server you MIGHT have enough time to reach the safe area consistently.

There is one that WILL respawn on the ledge you reach with an anemo pillar. I think I used the one next to the ruin guard to melt a chest or something, so I had to use the one up there for 2 of the 3 pieces of the pillar.

So I started the trial of tianqiu quest and I think I’ve hosed myself over because I can’t beat the trial that has me killing 5 enemies in 1 minute. The two fire slimes are loving me up because my main dps is Klee, and my next best dps is Qiqi but she doesn’t do enough damage. Klee is lvl 60, Qiqi is 50, and everyone else is 40. This quest has locked me out of coop mode and I can’t do the Act IV challenge because it won’t let me, even if I choose to do solo mode.

E:



What do I need to lvl up to finish this?

Two fire slimes? Oh buddy, you are on floor 2 of 3 :( electro is pretty good on pyro slimes, you might be able to make do with Lisa. Razor has a pretty fast E, so if you have the exp books he could be an option too. But a lot will come down to how leveled up your artifacts are.

The last floor should be much easier for Klee though.

Finally cleared out all of the shops, so I decided to bite the bullet and do the WL6 ascension quest (I hit 45 a week before the event started so I didn't want to screw myself for the boss). Clearing that, I went straight from 45 to a third of the way thru 49. Whoops...at least 50 is another quest locked upgrade.

Now my only problem is going to be keeping my focus on finishing artifacts for my carries (XL and Tartaglia, they both have mediocre gear at best) before building the C1 Keqing I got off the standard banner.

Yeah, I got a Diluc/Albedo/Bennett /Fischl. Before this banner I was running mostly a Diluc/Fischl/Barbara/Xiangling and was gonna try a suggestion of double pryo/double geo with a Diluc/Albedo/Bennett /Ningguang and some other different comps. I guess I find the game more fun just dicking around exploring so being way ahead of the power curve was really nice. Dealing with the new area with leveling 69 monsters is annoying. Really glad I finished the event when I stayed at AR35.

It sounds like you might be spreading yourself too thin by leveling/building too many units at once? With just Diluc and Fischl you should be able to handle the majority of the open world content. The general advice is to keep a DPS or two as close to maxed out as you can with weapon/talents/accessories and let the supports else lag farther behind.

I really hope they up the talent drop rate at some point, it's such a slog to get to lv6, never mind the rng for 7+. The extra mora and exp books from events have so far allowed me to level up whoever I feel like trying out, but the talent books just dissapear instantly.

I don't have severe issues with it. It's just that it's such a crapshoot whether or not the game is going to gently caress me.

I've gotten nothing but crabs, flying birds, and crabs and flying birds together (With those storks sitting on the water. :argh:) in at least one run. And the thing just kept spawning hydro mimic bombs at the end of the round.

This is half the reason why I still haven't farmed it for XQ, even though I'd love to use him for a vaporize team. The last few times I ran it, I got the flying birds on every single spawn. Even using Qiqi to heal through the damage and provide come CC isn't enough sometimes if the RNG decides to screw you.

I just recently started working on building Razor and I have to say, he's a great pick if you don't have a ton of resources (and if you're kind of terrible at this game like I am). I gave mine a prototype archaic, a handful of talent levels on his basic attack, and 2 hand me down artifacts at lvs 8/10 from XL and he's already pulling his weight at lv 70 against the mini bosses. On a team with Fish and a cyro for superconduct he outperforms my Tartaglia, who needs a hell of a lot more setup to reach full power.

I'm hoping that they're going to start running 2 character banners at once rather than Xiao being 2 weeks. Like, here's a new unit banner and a rerun banner, take your pick.

I just realized it's likely we'll get Barbara on Xiao's banner, she hasn't gotten a rate up since Venti and pairs nicely with his skillset. Hopefully we'll also get Ning as well.

EDIT: Shop is Beidou, Noelle.

I've been waffling on my shop pick all month since I use both Fischl (C5) and phusical Xianling (C1) a lot. Does Xianling's C2 provide a lot of damage/pyro application? I'm leaning away from Fischl simply because it feels like future pulls would be "wasted" but if her C6 is THAT much more powerful than Xianling's C2, I could live with it.

He feels a lot like Tartaglia in that you're going to have a blast doing a ton of combos for stupid big numbers, but you better be able to end the fight fast. At least taking an HP penalty is easier to work around than "welp Tart is useless for the next 20-30 seconds"

Dumping most of my primos into Xiao got me up to 65 pity and still no 5*. Normally I'd stop here and just wait for a new banner, but I REALLY don't want another Keqing. At least this batch has gotten me my first Stringless, first Diona, and enough merges on Xinyan to make her viable, if I ever have the resources to level and gear her. Mihoyo, I just want another anemo to replace Traveler for resonance, is that too much to ask?

TIL that if one of your inventory tabs is full (let's say artifacts) then you can't make any wishes, it'll give you a warning and kick you out until you free up space. I can only assume this is a holdover from back when all of the inventory shared a single space counter. Funnily enough, it let me go over the 1000 artifact limit when I picked up my drops from the wolf boss.

Quite a few people just don't upgrade artifacts at all until they get a top tier roll, as that is more artifact and mora efficient then upgrading a lesser relic then feeding it to a better roll later.

It's a bit of this, I haven't done much of spiral abyss and the overworld stuff is pretty easy even if your artifacts at level 10. I'm not looking for perfect rolls or substats, but I usually only upgrade if its decent and has the set bonus I'm looking for. Also I just forget to burn through the trash once a week.
