How's a Tighnari/Yae Miko/Fischl/Kuki Shinobu team looking for people who've rolled for the boy? (Or alternatively replace Kuki with Zhongli)

Really want an excuse to use Yae Miko and Fischl and I'm hoping Tighnari can be that excuse.

Oh man, I forgot about Sayu but I think her time might have arrived. And maybe Rainslasher, for that matter.

Wouldn't Jean be better than Sayu in that scenario?

If I remember correctly, they've nerfed the story-mode version of those bosses in previous patches too. Presumably so people wouldn't get stuck on them.

Letting the Traveler be their own voiced character since they obviously have their own personality instead of this weird ineffectual half-measure would be really big for me.

The whole silent protagonist except not because they have their own distinct backstory and heavily implied (and sometimes outright stated) personality thing has always been exceedingly lazy.

It's the worst of both worlds and I wish they'd just stop doing it.

Looking at the wording, you'd want it to be on whoever is your trigger for the reaction. So for hyperbloom, that'd be your electro. For bloom, that's harder and depends on your team.

"Fixes an issue whereby when Keqing used Normal Attacks consecutively on enemies affected by the Electro element, her Lv.2 Constellation's effects would be triggered at an abnormal interval."

Uh. Wonder if that means they've finally fixed the bug that made Keqing's C2 completely useless. It's been around since the game's release.

For people who aren't aware, her C2 can trigger while it's still on cooldown thus resetting the cooldown meaning it procs once and then more or less never again during any encounter.

This go around, getting the favor is a pretty big deal. If you're a rebel, snatching the favor away usually means your side wins even if you get caught for it. At least, that's my experience.

Once she hits AR 10, she should get a mail from the 10 million pre-registration event way back in the day with 10x standard wishes. That might be what they're talking about.

It's not just about how much left clicking you do (though that's part of it) but also what portion of your damage is coming from normal attacks. Not every character can be Yoimiya or Ayato where the vast majority of their damage is normal attacks so they can actually make good use of Yunjin's stacks.

it's not about proportions because yun jin's buffs aren't percentage based. it is a flat amount added to each attack, so the main thing that matters is how many attacks you do (plus crit and goblet modifiers)

True but you usually want to make lots of normal attacks because normal attacks are a major part of a character's damage profile, not because you're using Yunjin. Yunjin is at her best when she's on a team with someone who already wanted to make tons of normal attacks regardless.

I don't have additional constellations on anyone but Itto and the standard Banner ones like Diluc or Mona so I was under the impression that everyone worked fine at C0.

You definitely don't need more than C0 to clear the Abyss using any remotely competent 5* character.

Something like Noelle/Qiqi/Xinyan/Amber would probably be a good place to start. Maybe Barbara instead of Amber just so you don't get pyro resonance.

If you just reduce reaction damage to 0 then there's actually a lot of very solid 'mono element' teams.

Basically. Paimon's great when she's allowed to actually be a character, but it is very annoying when she's just repeating to you what we just heard five seconds ago (Oz is similarly annoying!).

Of all the QoL improvements we've seen in Honkai, I hope the writing is the one we get over in Genshin. Let the Traveler talk! You have good VAs in multiple languages going to waste!

This is very much how I feel. Although I feel Oz comes across better since we get him in smaller dose, so there's less opportunity to get sick of his schtick.

For all that Genshin does right, I can't imagine anyone coming out of playing Honkai Star Rail thinking that Genshin does dialogue better. It's incomparably improved and not just because of Paimon's absence.

There is such a thing as Quickbloom teams where the crit would very much matter, it's possible to have hyperbloom team with decent quicken aura uptime. Probably will end up being a pretty great weapon in Cyno's hands.

Whether characters should (or need to) be taken to 90 at all really depends on what kind of teams you're running. Tuxedo Catfish gives a good rule of thumb, but for instance if you're running an aggravate team then you'd want your electro on-fielder to be level 90 since that scales a lot with level. So it's not a hard rule.

What do you do with a Klee, I haven’t planned for this at all.

Well since you conveniently have a brand new Kazuha...

What you do is Kazuha/Klee/Xiangling/Bennett and then watch the world burn. Don't bother with all the complicated animation cancels, they're not actually necessary so just either normal>charge attack or normal>normal>charge attack if you're worried about your stamina. Did a run of the Spiral Abyss using that comp last cycle if you need to know whether mono pyro Klee is usable.

Burger Klee isn't even THAT bad, it's actually pretty good for a low investment.

People really overemphasize how 'bad' Klee is on top of there being a lot of misinformation still around from when she was first released and people didn't really understand the game as well as they do nowadays. Back when people thought that vaporize was the be-all-end-all of pyro reactions.

Tough enemies, Bennet's burst -> kazuha's burst (this can infuse his burst with pyro using the aura that's on yourself) -> xiangling's burst -> t -> Klee's burst -> Klee's N1 x2 CA until Bennet's burst ends. Then you refill everyone's energy by doing Klee's skill -> Kazuha's skill x 2 and go again.

Personally I prefer Bennett skill or Klee normal (to tag an enemy with pyro aura) > Kazuha tap skill > Kazuha burst > Bennett burst > Bennett skill > Xiangling burst > Xiangling skill > Kazuha tap skill > Klee skill > Klee burst (to cancel the end of the skill animation) > Klee skill > Klee's normals (either x1 or x2) into charge attack to taste > repeat from the first Kazuha tap skill now that everyone has a pyro aura.

But yeah, solid A rank team is a good way to describe it.

I did almost all of the event on Dire using Nilou Bloom, Yoimiya vape and Klee mono pyro/Itto geo bros (depending on the enemies).

Pretty fun event! Really interesting to puzzle out how to make three good teams without any overlap and low pressure since the reward for doing so is basically nil.
