Finally finished the Archon quest, that was pretty fun. Time to murder a bunch of Sages tho, what a bunch of assholes. If Dunyarzad died then I'd have burnt the whole city down.

Time to burn through the event and then I can finally relax and start wandering around exploring.

Gonna suck when it ends up just being the Fatui who somehow manipulated the Sages.

I'm really hoping that it's more a case of noble intentions gone wrong. As the game pointed out, when stuck in the samsara all of Sumeru become one giant brain, which is ideal for trying to brute force a solution to a problem via mass computing power, which is similar to what academics do with super computers now. Might have a solution to the Irminsul problem but it's going to take decades to work out at regular computing speeds? Speed it up by using this super brain and drat the consequences, we got a tree to cure which will hopefully return our god to us at the same time.

I more expect the Fatui to be working with the desert people who are trying to bring their long dead god back to life, which is ripe for all sorts of harbinger fuckery. Like how Dottore shoved bits of dead god into Collei

So I'm currently on a quest to make Noelle even stronger because she's the best, and I've been tinkering around with the Genshin Optimizer but I've been getting some odd results. After telling it to optimize around here elemental skill and it tell me to switch to an artifact set which results in me losing 1k of DEF but somehow gaining 4k DPS. I thought stacking DEF on C6 Noelle was the way to go but should I follow it's suggestions anyway?

No Wave posted:

Crit (and geo dmg) are much stronger on Noelle than DEF. This is because her burst adds her atk and 120% of her def (at C6) together, so she has a pretty fat atk score under burst even with zero def substat rolls. As weird as it sounds perfect Noelle substats would have about zero actual DEF rolls, you'd just only hit crit. Albedo and Yelan scale entirely off of their DEF/HP, so you actually actively want some def/hp rolls on them. (Husk is still Noelle's BiS either way)

Makes sense, the new set had better crit stats which explains the increase in damage. Time to farm some more artifacts then.

The new banner is pretty much a choice between an unstoppable murder machine (Ganyu) or becoming effectively unkillable (Kokomi) so pick the one that suits your play style.

Sumeru is great, touch the wisdom grass all you want but do not touch the cursed wisdom tree.

The real endgame is running around the overworld with Yelen one-shotting everything with 30-60k hits from her E.

This but with Ganyu instead, all problems can be solved by using more arrows.

I also play the game in English so there's more than 6 of us at least lol. Managed to scrape together a full VV set for Jean so looking forward to trying her out at some point and now it's time to farm still for Fischl because a lucky 10 pull on the standard banner dumped a Skyward Harp in my lap and Ganyu already has Amos' Bow.

I will be sad if the build spreadsheet ends up abandoned because it's a great "what do I prioritize for this character?" guide that doesn't come in the form of a dozen different videos on Youtube.

Same, the build spreadsheet is great for stuff like "what artifact set to use?" and saves me from having to understand all the various stats and what set does what.

Ganyu always has a place in my overworld/main team because she murders everything except cryo slimes. Genshin is pretty much The Legend of Lumine: Ganyu's Long Overdue Holiday as far as I'm concerned.

Almost finished the Aranara quests, which has been my favorite quest chain so far, hopefully we get to see more of them in future patches.

I'm getting lots of having the camera take control to point directly at a rock wall

This is incredibly irritating, especially when I'm in combat and the game goes to point at something else with Paimon chiming in that there's something near by, meanwhile some Eremite is doing their best to murder me. That and the random events triggering on the surface while I'm underground.

Hopefully I can snag Venti on the upcoming banners. Cyno is cool and all, but I want to complete my Archon collection.

Good lord grinding for Artifacts continues to suck and is the biggest thing I wish they'd fix as I really hate having to interact with this part of the game as it's just so anti fun compared to the rest. I don't care about the substats, just give me a loving crit rate circlet in the husk set. Honest to god at this point I'd buy one if that option were available. Time to do something else before I get even more tilted.

Finished the Archon quest finally and made a dent in the new event. Looking forward to drop kicking that douche Scaramouche into a volcano or something in the future.

Having a lot of fun with Dendro MC/Kokomi/Raiden which deletes pretty much everything, although having ruin machines in wither zones sucks so drat much, good lord.

I do wish we could just stick someone in the 5th character slot to switch to for overworld puzzles, I'd just put Amber there and then all my problems with torches would go away.

I really wanted to go hard on Nilou but her numbers being pretty mediocre, in terms of personal damage her ult is Yelan's E twice and her E's are like one bolt of Yelan's three bolt ult for most of the hits so nothing to write home about. Also while it's a questionable leak that had Raiden, Eula, and Ayaka in the same patch, at the very least Raiden is basically all but assured given we've gotten the other three archons before her and Eula at least has been mia for long enough to be due a rerun, and those three are basically my most wanted.

As cute as Nilou is I'd rather go for the known quantities I really want. :negative:

Disregard nerds with their leaks and bad opinions, acquire cute gatcha girl (or Diluc).

Kale posted:

Yae is all but confirmed for 3.2 second half by credible leakers alongside a 3rd Childe rerun. You can almost sense them throwing Raiden into the Scaramouche banner for 3.3 since she's kind of due as well and while it works thematically I'm sure a lot of people would consider that downright mean. Shenhe seems like a strong candidate for 3.4 or the Lantern rite along with Hu Tao which I'd bet any money on for Lantern Rite since it's been just about a year already since she was last featured in a banner. These are basically all the characters off the top of my head that have had the longest time since their last rerun minus Maybe Eula who was around last Christmas/New Years.

Ooof that's a lotta primo's I'm gonna need then. Nilou -> Nahida -> Yae -> Raiden's Weapon -> Shenhe
