Click the button and find out. I don't think so but also I don't remember.

Fun fact: deleting the beta also deletes the launch client. So do that first before downloading. (its only ~10gb though so no big deal)

In my first free 10-pull I got the 5 star destruction Clara. I think I'm off to a good start.

Well Himeko fell into my collection after about 60 pulls on the standard banner (whoohoo) so I guess I'll buy her 5 star weapon with pity tokens, eventually.

Really going to need a second healer eventually. Natasha is great for free but you know how it is.

Not quite that immediately, but I got Seele early so i'm sitting on ~20 express tickets and ~15000 jade.

If you don't mind gambling and want to hyper invest in Seele, her light cone is pretty slick. Will probably mean missing out on next_banner_character unless you get lucky though, so there's that.

Oh man I severely underestimated just how expensive it is to level literally anything past 50. This is gonna be a grind. Added info to spreadsheet as well.


Regarding "break effect" the wording is unclear. Does this apply to "damage dealt (at time of breaking)" and "dot damage (while the enemy is broken)" and "how much the enemy is delayed (by a break)"?

Or are the dot and delay sections global, and apply outside of the enemy being broken?

Welp. I hosed up with one of my light cone upgrade picks!

Oh well, time to upgrade one of the other ones.

Unrelatedly, everyone is assuming the next MC form will be The Hunt because we're on the Huntboat, but I think it would be very funny if we ended up getting Abundance instead. Might work out better in terms of roles too, unless they suddenly add a ton of healers so we're not all forced to rely on Natasha or pull specific 5 stars.

I would be extremely happy if MC becomes one of those.

I'm hoping that whatever the MC ends up becoming next, that follow-up attacks are part of their kit so that everyone can enjoy Elation builds in SU.

I'm building MC as a shielder because I find that function is absolutely starting to get needed (level 60) and its MC or March and March simply just isn't a reliable hate magnet. Great character otherwise.

Clara + March however is a team core I definitely want to build eventually.

I find March's shield-taunt more reliable than the MC's taunt, personally. MC can simply miss, or maybe get lapped by fast enough enemies so the taunt falls off. Or adds get summoned, etc etc.

Maybe. My half built fire MC almost got me through a certain boss fight I struggled with before so once I finish building out the relics & such I feel okay about it.

stuff like xianshou make it clear that time is an absurd thousands of years scale, too, and they already came from a highly capable spacefaring civilization (that they then forgot about) so himeko might not know earth by way it being long since gone and irrelevant

I think a lot of people are sleeping on Luocha. If Natasha is currently your only healer, I think Luocha will probably offer a lot more power to your account than adding additional supports or damage dealers, especially in Forgotten Hall/Memory of Chaos.

Luocha is going to be a skill point hog. I think.

This might be harder to notice on a phone, but playing on a PC it's very obvious that the view of Belobog out the big window at the front of the hotel is a janky 2D impostor. The big domed building on the left and the stairs down to the cable car are both visible as expected:



...but Qlipoth Fort is mysteriously missing from the skyline:



No idea what that's about. It is present in the fake reflections in the windows of other buildings outside, though!



We should demand Hoyo implement mandatory raytracing overdrive immediately to resolve this.

Same. I failed a few times until I got the right combo of path drops on the way. It all came down to shields, more shields, a shitload of shields and a lot of cleanses.

Didn't help I was brute forcing the fight with none of the right elements because I was stubborn.

I want Silver Wolf in a few weeks so I can learn the way of the DOT but I also wanted to blow 40 saved wishes (no more, absolute limit) on the new banner. You never know, plus I didn't have Sushang. All from a position of zero pity (last banner wish result was Seele)

Natasha dupe
March 7th dupe
Some wierdo called Jing Yuan who the gently caress is this
Sushang (finally!)

pulling for weapons sucks rear end

Yeah.

They're better than 4 star ones but not by enough to change the gameplay experience. Only pull for weapons if you are absolutely positively sure you want to hyper invest in a single character to the point you want to build a whole team around them and also don't mind burning cash on slightly bigger numbers.

In which case go nuts.

I didn't like Sampo when we first met him but he definitely proved himself later and the voice acting work is excellent.

I auto'd the SU boss fight with Kafka, just intervening occasionally to tap the abundance dewdrop button for the cleanse.

Worlds 3, 4 and 6 I don't bother to intervene with. edit - The biggest realisation for me was how much of a difference the right path for your team is.

Seele/SW/(Bronya or Ting)/healer is probably one of the most optimal team comps at this point

Seele / SW / Ting / Natasha is what I've been using. Pretty strong... in the current content. I have no doubt when we go to space japan or whatever comes after space china we'll be pushed into using lightning, ice or fire teams rather than quantum.

Not the management interface.

I understand that. All of those quests are done. These rewards are specifically tied to the museum management minigame, which I'm no longer capable of doing.

Hmm. When I finished the museum management game and was then locked out of the management interface I found the quests I hadn't received yet just waiting for me in the quest tab and was thus able to 100% after doing the last 2. No notice or anything, just found them sitting there.

Was on PC. Asia server. Maybe we have a version difference.

Well I now seem to be up to a eidolon 1 Yanqing along with his signature lightcone, itself superimposition 1. I think the game is telling me I'm supposed to build him. Like, a lot. Yes Hoyo, when I'm good and ready thank you.

Ok, gently caress Kafka. I also need more levels/better gear, so I think I need to get my supports in order and start grinding relics. Levels and traces have taken me as far as they can.

Path of abundance and the sub-path that cleanses all your debuffs when you use the big dewdrop should see you through. I feel your pain. I first beat Kaftka without that and it was certainly not the correct way given how hard it was.

I kind of feel you're talking more about banner angst though. Don't worry, everything gets re-run at some point. Take everything at your own pace, its the correct pace.

The great thing about being worried about powercreep is it means you stick with your starting characters, never pull for anything and hope that whatever comes out in 3 years is your dream team.

Or you can just pull right now for the characters you think are "neat", slap them into a team and enjoy the game. Either way you'll be happy.
