This is basically a single player game, right? What's the rush? I played Genshin for a couple days but didn't get very far. Is there any sort of competitive mode in the endgame?

Did I miss what a "follow up attack" is? I'm getting a lot of the synergy cards in world 1 and have no idea how to trigger it.

Stuff like March or Claras counterattack

yknow I was complaining about not having a decent Harmony LC but I didnt mean for my issue to be solved like this



I would like a second 5* character already, please game. I've gotten Clara > LC > Clara > LC so far.

At least Clara is awesome and pretty useful.

After beating my head against the wall that is SU 6 all of last week, I finally got through it with my suboptimal team now that my dps(Clara) is level 60. At level 50, I kept dying about 50% of the way into phase 3. Kinda disappointed I couldn't close it out at TL2, but oh well!

World 3-2 ended up being a cakewalk in comparison. That fight seems tailor-made for Clara shenanigans.

What 5* should I pick out of Welt, Himeko, Gerpard, Clara, and Yanqing?

Been mostly using Fire MC, E2 Seele, Bronya, and Bailu.

Edit: I'm leaning towards Gerpard to replace Fire MC, or Clara (whose 5* light cone I have)

Clara Clara Clara

I feel my ability to progress in Memory of Chaos is limited by my lack of a levelled wind character. Don't have Bronya, between Dan Heng and Sampo who's worth investing in?

I went with Dan Heng & Serval as dps for B team and made it up to 5 so far. FWIW Clara is the dps on the A team.


Edit: Decided to focus on DH after seeing this dmg chart - https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/dps-rankings

I never play Elation, so I didn't realize the names of its Blessings are all riffing on the names of works of fiction, mostly dark comedies. The three-star ones are all Kurt Vonnegut, and then there's Mostly Harmless, Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove, among others.

There's a few I'm not sure about, and at least one of them didn't survive into English: "Twenty-First Military Rule" is a reference to the Chinese title of Catch-22, so it should be "Catch-21". (As ever, the Japanese version got it right.)

Gotta say, that's pretty hilarious. Nice catch.

What, specifically, are people doing to make any progress in MoC without Bailu? I can't even beat stage 3. It seems like none of the existing Preservation characters can keep a party alive through two whole miniboss fights on their own. The Trailblazer's shields are too small, Gepard doesn't have enough uptime, and March can't protect the whole party at once.

My understanding is a built Gepard can go quite deep into MoC without a healer. Currently in the process of testing this out.

I got SW in one 10-pull, and have over 150 more pulls saved up. My hourly mantra is "pulling for eidolons is stupid." I must stay strong!

The end game content requires minimum 8 people. I think spreading resources between 9 people is fine, because realistically 8 people won't be enough for every stage in MoC. Especially if you have SW, you're gonna wanna mix and match a bunch. Concentrating all your resources on just 4 people is going to make getting past even the first stage of MoC very difficult. I'm saying this as a battle pass guy so if you are totally F2P just adjust your expectations I guess. Of those 8 people though, the DPS and tank/healers are the most important I think, and even then only certain traces are worthwhile. I use M7 a ton but only have her skill trace leveled at all.

OK I meant to say until the next TB level (didn't realize there are two past TB4). Anyway I proved myself wrong, hell yeah:



I had my doubts but Serval got it done with a couple turns to spare. I imagine if you have JY it's quite a bit faster. TY almost got one-shot but she pulled through as you can see.

Ah, his skill, the thing I have never used.

He's an ult bot and hit magnet. Neither of those things are improved by his eidolons. Using skill points to CC instead of letting your dps do its thing seems bad.
