So I've got 4 Widsiths from my pulls and I'm wondering if it's worth running on my Klee. I'm only AR 24 so she's just using a max refined emerald orb i tossed onto her, but widsith seems like it can offer a huge damage bump. I run barbera with tales as well.

that'd be better for my weapon selections but iirc both Albedo and Ganyu were part of the big model leak and i'm assuming their weapon designations were listed in that stuff? since both have been treated as bow users since

e: at the very least Albedo was in that leak and it had other characters with "confirmed" element/weapon associations like the anemo gs user and another electro sword user

The last thread linked a reddit post with some leaked images, including Albedo and Ganyu's splash art:



It sure makes him look like a magic user, but no guarantees -- after all, Diona's splash art doesn't show any weapon and she's a bow character.

While Razor is technically electro, his real element is big sword. When you're going up against electro slimes, you can just hit them with Cryo and they'll take about 30% more damage from Razor. You don't need to use pyro to clear the 3rd floor at all.

The bounties are designed to be difficult though, having immunities and tricks to dealing with them. The 5* ones particuarly, because they're always ruin guards or ruin hunters, which take 50-70% less physical damage. Which is reduced to 10-30% with superconductor.

Even if they're immune to an element, it can still stick to them for purposes of elemental reactions. Maybe more importantly, if you bullseye a ruin guard or hunter to shut them down, that still works even if they're immune to the element, though without the increased damage numbers it's harder to tell when you hit the bullseye.

My fun bounty story is a ruin hunter with "increased ruthlessness" or something (which I guess means a damage bonus), which oneshot my 8k hp Fishl twice in a row while it was flying up in the air. Then with Fischl dead I couldn't shoot its weakpoint to bring it down into melee range so I was screwed. Had to die and come back to reset the fight.

Edit: just realized you said ruin Hunter haha :/


If you have someone that does elemental damage like Klee or a DPS magic user you can just go all out without hitting the weak point. They are only strong against physical.

I follow the fart wind with elemental sight, and it takes me all over the map and they never spawn anywhere. I can find a loving hunter guardian in the canyon, thank you very much, you fucks.

Batman Arkham Asylum did it first and the Witcher perfected it. Why do we have this poo poo in the game? It doesn't make me feel smart or clever and just wastes everyone's time. "Middle mouse button"? smd.

Even reassigned to a different key, I get 4 feet of fart wind info per press. Elemental sight adds nothing and sucks to use.

You got the clues first right? The bounty doesn't spawn until you've picked up all the clues, which are random assholes, or plants, or whatever that get marked by elemental sight

Same here. If a DPS magic user is needed...then do I need to dust off Lisa and put her in the party because the only way for me to reach the flying ruin hunter is Amber or Barbara as my only other archer/magic user.

It'd be better if there were no briefings beforehand and the clues are how you find out its strengths/weaknesses. I'm sure that isn't how it works because people complained.

Razor is really not much of an electro DPS, i fought the same or at least a similar (electro immune) bounty with my typical Razor superconductor team (includes Kaeya). when you run into electro-resistant or immune enemies you just get superconductor applied and whale away with Razor's basic attacks and mainly use his skill for its energy generation ability and his ult for its atkspd increase.

I wasn't really using him as an electro DPS (I think?) I just had him as my source of electro and regular damage because the Debate Club's like level 46 now and it staggers people because that's how greatswords are. I'd alternate between using Kaeya or Barbara first and then hitting them with Razor's burst for elemental damage.

Do you have Chong? Lay his aura down for cryo dmg

Nooooo, no I do not. I have Lisa, Fischl, Razor, Barbara, Amber, Kaeya, Ningguang and Noelle. Every banner I roll, I just hope for more characters, because Amber and Kaeya are still my only fire and ice characters. Barbara's decent for soaking people and running out of danger at least.

I have one more Geoculus to finish the Liyue statues. So far both of the times I've used the geoculi tracking tool it's taken me to a place where there were a handful of chests I was missing. I'm kind of surprised at the number of chests I've apparently missed according to the "exploration percent" (which I assume takes into account chests); I'm at like 75-80% for most Liyue zones.

After playing some more with Childe, I've confirmed that he is definitely the best AoE damage I've invested in; he just completely slaughters groups of enemies in a very satisfying way. It seems like it's best to have a second DPS character against single targets, though.

One kind of nice thing is that like half of the beefy individual enemies in the game are the robot things, which bow/arrow are good against due to being able to stun them. So he avoids needing another bow and arrow user for that sort of thing.

edit: I'm becoming increasingly convinced that in the long-run people will end up with a bunch of max level characters, with talents being the thing that take forever to max (similar to skill levels in FGO). At higher levels it just becomes easier to get the mats necessary to max ascend, and even the last couple ascensions don't require more than a few days of gathering materials.

I imagine it partly depends upon what your alternative options are. I'm using Eye of Perception on Ningguang because, like you, I have 4 of them. The scales might tip in favor of Solar Pearl as I refine it from the BP, though (I'd prefer Solar Pearl all other things equal, but Eye of Perception currently does a ton of damage; in general the weapons that have a "activates every __ seconds" where the time decreases with refinement seem to benefit a lot from said refinement).

genshin.gg has recommended weapons + artifact sets and from what I've seen it's updated based on newly found stuff.

Regarding the elemental sight: It can be kinda wonky if the terrain is strongly uneven - if the target is below your level in front of you, the line can point directly into ground and be practically invisible. I experienced this on Wuwang hill, where I stood in the cursed bog and the vision was pointing to the destroyed/haunted village to south.

Also I just bought the $20 BP upgrade - didn't pay extra $10 because I wouldn't make it, since I play daily it's super easy. I got it because the nameplate totally owns (especially compared to the first one which was pretty meh).


Same, I believe it's just timing issue?
