Okay, noticing some weird buggy things since the update:

1. Dvalin's neck is harder to climb. Sometimes I just clip through.

2. Statue only auto healing to me full HP minus 1.

I noticed both of these last night as well.

2. Statue only auto healing to me full HP minus 1.

I had the latter a few days before the last update, and it went away after I adjusted the character's gear, so I think that one might just be a rounding issue from artifact HP% bonuses.

Former, I'm not sure if I've noticed it being worse or not this time versus before. It really feels like it depends a lot on where you are when you make him fall; if he walls on top of you it'll be a pain trying to not go through him, but if you're sufficiently to the side (preferably your left/his right) you can usually jump right on, from what I've seen.

Childe has two incredible tools. His normal attacks are amazing, they blow things up with riptide and give him tons of energy there's not much to it, you don't need more than 50% crit rate.

The other one is his melee form Q does huge single-hit damage using one of the only elements that has a 2x damage amplifier reaction. You can get mona-level vaporizes using him very easily (and with a fatter multiplier).

Xiangling is excellent for the first game plan, pyronado will get vaporizes through its entire duration and gyouba isn't useless. Bennett is imo currently the best at setting up vaporizes for Childe.

This also means that depending on what you're biased towards his best weapon changes. Rust is great to buff his normals but doesn't have any special synergy with his Q, Stringless gives elemental mastery which boosts vaporize but doesn't do anything with his normal attacks. Viridescent Hunt is somewhere in the middle because it buffs both (by letting you use a crit dmg helm instead of a crit rate helm). Skyward Harp is just better than all of the above so obviously you'd use that if you had it.

I'm currently using Rust but will be getting Viridescent Hunt for Fischl anyways so might try it out.

Last I heard Stringless didn't work with his normal attacks and only applied to the initial AOE... I haven't tested it though.

I'd need the link because there isn't really an easy way to calculate how much damage 25% crit rate is, it's totally contingent on what your crit damage is.

It's mostly for the burst damage since its such a huge multi.

Appreciate the link. Two EBs every 15 seconds is impossible so idk why he went with that for the final DPS chart.

He's also using crit numbers that are just too low to accurate describe the crit rate weapons. He's using base crit rate and base crit damage which will make Hunt and Harp look substantially worse than they are.

It's 2 EBs in 30 seconds which is possible because its cooldown is 15s isn't it?

My bad, I misread it.

The Stringless would pull insanely ahead of the other 4*s if his Qs were actually set up for vaporize as well due to its innate EM.

I'm using Kaeya over Chongyun for my Cryo because I prefer the Sword moveset over the Greatsword. I've given Kaeya a 3 Star Fillet Blade (level 60) and I have two more Fillet Blades. Should I sacrifice the extra Fillet Blades to the main Fillet Blade for increased attack damage if Gash procs?

Gash: On hit, has 50% chance to deal 240% ATK DMG to a single enemy. Can only occur once every 15s. The stats in italics will improve upon refinement.

None of them is great. Probably the most annoying thing about Childe is the craftables are so lame. I'd go Crescent if you're totally f2p, Viridescent Hunt if you're buying BP. Crescent is a totally mediocre weapon but Compound and Favonious are quite bad fits for Childe.

You shouldn't be using a 3* sword on a main DPS but if you are then definitely refine it to max.

You will get many more fillet blades. I would strongly encourage you to craft a prototype rancour instead though, it is a very good fit for DPS Kaeya.

I've been using the Compound Bow as as stopgap until I get to BP level 30, and while it's not ideal when it comes to pumping his damage during his burst phase, it does make him more useful when his stuff is on cooldown as it gives his normal bow attacks a real punch. I'd recommend it over the other craftable one.

I don't know how this game manages the visual distances it does. You can literally see Mondstadt (the city) from the top of the Jade Chamber, as well as some other stuff like Stormterror's lair. And details are still loaded in, like I can see some updraft on Cape Oath.

Extremely careful asset placement and smart level of detail system combined with a mostly fixed movement speed to stop the client moving faster than the game can handle streaming new assets would be my guess.

While gliding around Jueyun Karst, I noticed that the game tends to spawn vision-obscuring cloud cover once you fall down to a certain altitude. It might be there to cover up the transition between the regular, detailed models and a less-detailed map used for far-off objects (like the incomplete models you can see past the zone walls).

Sounds like some of the dialog for Childe was mis-translated after the boss fight which is why he comes across as more of an rear end in a top hat than intended

Yeah mine was stuck at 70 (and my backups at 60-70) for a level or two and it was... unpleasant. Definitely prioritize levels and ascensions on your mains if you're close to a world level up.

So I just realized that Ningguang is voiced by the same voice actor as Beatrice from Umineko!

Also just finally finished chapter 3 (which is why I was mentioning the Jade Chamber before). It was very neat and surprisingly difficult (would have had a hard time with Childe fight if not for Jean, and I could see the part where you defend the ballistas being pretty tough if you don't have high enough DPS). I'm pretty excited to see what they do with Inazuma in the future.

I think that effect is just on purpose aesthetically, since I don't see any effect like that from on top of the jade chamber

The advice to always have your characters ready to level never made sense to me. World bosses are extremely predictable, the only ones you could have real trouble with after fighting them a dozen times are Geo and Oceanid and that would be the first thing you're going to do after you raise your WL so it doesn't really make a difference if you do it before or after.

If like me you got hosed by RNG and didn't get a Xinqiu, you can do floor 10-3 by putting Barbara on the first team and Lisa on the second. Her burst destroys the fire abyss mage shields so you can use Barbara for the pyrogunners. I finally got past that lovely floor then 6 starred floor 11 first attempt.

So I got lucky on a fate that I got from leveling up my AR and pulled Mona off the standard banner, 75 before pity. I am not exactly sure what to do with her though.

For illustration purposes, here is my standard Abyss setup:



The top team is my main "exploration" team that I do things in the overworld. This breakdown of two teams actually stays pretty intact so far in Abyss as well, with a substitution once in a while. Any advice? Xingqiu seems pretty beastly, but he'd obviously work good with Chongyun as well. I am assuming I just want to max out Mona's burst and go from there?
