If she's on Cyno banner I won't get her. I'm already going to go up to at least one pity for Kokomi, pray I get her or Jean, and then it's Eula and probably Nilou time.

There's always the chance that Eula runs alongside Cyno!

Ah, I guess the banner timings are by time zone, still got 5 hours left on the old ones.

The patch banners are simultaneous worldwide, but the banner changes within a patch are by timezone.

Does rolling a 5-star reset the 4-star pity timer? The in-game description makes it sound like it should, but I've never seen anyone say that explicitly.

No, but it can delay your 4* pity: If you get a 5* at 4* pity 10, your 4* will show up on 11 instead.

So did (early Act 3) Traveler and Paimon learn Dottore's rank at some point and I forgot, or did he actually say his fancy subtitles out loud like an rear end in a top hat?

I'm pretending their Akasha terminals did the full name and rank cutscene.

Much like in the archipelago, after you complete the final quest, some characters pop up in the world, so far I've found:

Sucrose - at a stall on the festival grounds
Venti - up on starsnatch cliff
Lisa - on the balcony of the Good Hunter building

Anyone found anyone else?

Rosaria - immediately across the lake looking at the festival.
Razor - on the cliff above the whispering woods fishing point, looking at the Monstadt bridge
Diluc - in the vineyard southwest of his winery, looking pensive

Aetherblight sucks because if you don't have an archer on the team it might as well be loving off to another dimension. In that sense it has the longest invincibility phase of any enemy in the game. On the other hand... you can just kill it before it does that.

Just throw your Harpastum ball at it if you don't have an archer.

You don't want to put that set on Nilou, instead put it on whoever you have triggering the reactions in your Nilou bloom team.

The chasm is the first place where you can really see that the people who design the maps you traverse hate the people who draw the map you look at.

And the mappers must have gotten the message, because in Sumaru they just gave up on drawing any of the underground at all.

Baiard posted:

Since we don't know Baizhu's elemental application or shield duration it's too difficult to tell his value, but on the face of it a dendro shielder could allow you to swap out Kokomi for another hydro. Dropping Nahida doesn't seem like a good idea, so you'd still be running 2 hydro/2 dendro. It's possible Baizhu's shield could be strong enough to take both the damage of Bountiful Blooms (dendro) and enemy damage, but who knows. Ayato or maybe a future Fontaine hydro character would be a good DPS upgrade over Kokomi in that case.

The problem with using a shielder with a Nilou team is that I think you'd lose the extra 100 EM she gives from getting hit by dendro attacks.

the dehya complaints in this thread are like 50/50 between meta and playstyle ones

My Dehya complaint is that her story power level doesn't seem to align with her kit. If I were in Sumaru looking for a bodyguard, I'd be better off with the sleepy astronomy student than the Eremite mercenary.

Canonically a Sumeru merchant would hire the tough muscle-woman as a bodyguard because you don't want bandits attacking you. Sleepy student might be better at protecting you in a fight, but hiring that mean-looking eremite mercenary with a big sword means you wont need protection. Bandits wouldn't bother you in the first place.

Fair enough, I'm sold. Hire Deyha because she looks scary. And on that note they've nailed it, she looks impressive and her kit looks great visually!

You meed to have Faruzan C2 to do full team rotations. Pop Faruzan burst first, then use Dehya skill then swap. I was actually able to get a double infusion for his entire skill’s duration with both hydro and pyro. It’s dumb how short his infusions last, and makes them much worse than they could have been.

Wanderer's A1 infusions last the whole duration of his skill though? Just the indicators vanish quickly.

Have there been any leaks about future characters that look OP? How far out are we from the next archon?

Earliest the next archon could appear is 4.0, which should be around the end of August. But Nahida was 3.2 and Raiden was 2.1, so a better bet would be in the October/November timeframe.

I left off at adventurer level 10 so I figure anything goes for a while if I keep people leveled but do any of these stand out to avoid or work on? Is it worth going for either of the banner characters? Neither looks exciting though the wind guy was fun to play in his demo.

If you happen to have available wishes, the "wind guy" (Kazuha) on the current banner is top tier.

Also do SSDs need to be defragmented like HDDs? I've had the same genshin install since 2021 so maybe after installing hundreds of different patches at different times all the allocated game data is scrambled around and causing longer load times.

No, SSDs don't need to be defragmented. You can run trim by selecting "Optimize" for the drive in "Optimize Drives", but it should be running automatically.

Oh now there's a thought. I only just crowned Nahida's skill and burst. Maybe a Dragon's Bane and that set is what I'm missing to get 30K damage from hyperbloom finally.

The only way I'd get Gaming is if he comes with a 5* that I still wants cons for, like Yelan or Neuvillette.
