Tsyni posted:I missed the discussion of the magic crystals you can get. Do all they spawn everyday, and the blacksmith just points you at a certain amount of them or how does it work exactly? Haven't been farming them enough to figure it out. A certain number spawn every day and there are 8 known NPCs that mark locations on your map, though even talking to all of them I still find spawns that aren't marked. They only spawn in spots that normal crystal already spawn, and they don't overwrite normal crystal spawns, which are still on the same 3-day timer. Basically to be optimal you just mark every location and check them every day.

Mr Snips posted:I'm starting to regret putting resources into levelling up Chongyun. He helped me get through the first 2 team abyss floor since I didn't have a good B team dps option at the time, but now he's become a waste of a team slot since his attacks become an active hinderance to so many other characters and he doesn't seem do enough damage to offset that. Fischl isn’t affected by it. Her and Chong team up really well. Actually my rotation for the longest time has been Barb attacks for wet and carry the dragon slayer book, switch to Fischl for the increase in damage and use Oz, switch to Chong’s E for superconduct, Xiangling’s E, and then back to Fischl who because of superconduct and the dragon slayer book does considerable damage with her bow. theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Nov 17, 2020 |

But why is Chongyun better than Kaeya there? Superconduct is a reaction that doesn't take advantage of his ability to re-apply cryo. I think Chongyun is best with Xiangling for pyronado and lots of melt procs. Xingqiu could also work for insta frozen/shattered. I watched a 12-3 3* clear recently that used Chongyun/Xingqiu/Xiangling for reaction spam and it looked extremely cool.

Depending on how specifically the hidden aura cooldowns work, Chongyun might be able to apply cryo faster than any other character can apply any other element, if the ice-attack buff doesn't have a single shared global cooldown. Normal attack/charged attack/rotate character/Repeat probably gives you something like 2 cryo applications per second for the full duration, theoretically.

I know it can't be used on the 40 resin portion, but I'm not sure about 20. Probably not but I condensed some anyways because why not.

Scoss posted:Between my two Claymore characters, Beidou and Noelle, who is more worth investment as a bread and butter dps character? Beidou, but neither is ideal, because they don't have a great reason to stay on the field when their skill and burst are on cooldown. They're both more suited to a support role. That said, if you don't have a great carry yet, you can totally build them to fill the role and it'll be fine everywhere but the deep Spiral Abyss.

From the above linked reddit thread you get 25-45 shards per 20 resin run, depending on WL, so don't stress out too much about scouring the whole world for the last 18 meteorite spawns right now.

Hooly poo poo. I was doing a single roll while exercising on the nordic track (due to the way the pity works in this I just do single-rolls the instant I get enough gems for one) and got Keqing. I'm sort of sitting here in disbelief, since I just sort of resigned myself to only very rarely getting 5*s without the pity timer.

All these youtube videos I watch say that Childe is on the field for a good time, not a long time: He wants to swap in, get on his Riptide and melee attacks, then finish off with his melee ult before swapping out, preferably as fast as possible to minimise his skill cooldown. Does that mean he wants a nice big crit chance so his passive applies Riptide as fast as possible, or should I be stacking pure attack and hydro damage and using the charged bow to put riptides on before going nuts with melee?

Otherwise using him as a support is generally a bad idea unless you just need his ult and/or converting your autoattacks into ice is not bad for you. I wonder if a character with a Cryo damage-boosting cup will deal more damage while affected by Chongyun's skill. Has anyone tested this?

Bloody Emissary posted:I wonder if a character with a Cryo damage-boosting cup will deal more damage while affected by Chongyun's skill. Has anyone tested this? Yes, it does. I use it with my Xiang to stab people constantly with cryo normal attacks while her burst/skill/constellation final strike proc melts. It probably isn't efficient, but I'm just working with the artifacts I have right now.

You can only get crit chance from artifact hats, weapon substats, or lucky artifact substat rolls, so you can't exactly min-max it super hard. Probably make sure you have either a crit weapon or a crit hat, then stack attack after that. Childe attacks pretty fast so the 25-35% crit chance from one item should be enough to keep your mark applied. Charged bow on its own is gonna be bad for applying marks because it only puts them on one target at a time, so it's not much use against groups.

If you're wondering whether to buy the gems or not in the event they will eventually be very very worth it I promise. When you level 80-90 you'll have a ton of extra boss materials and won't have enough gemstones. This event lets you pay 20 resin for ~3 fragments - late game you'll pay 40 resin for 2 fragments (yes, and some artifacts, but fewer and worse than you'd get off of a 20 resin artifact domain). It is a huge bargain, at the very least buy them for any character you plan on taking 80-90 and any element that you ever imagine leveling multiple characters to 70-80. I'm even going to buy the geo fragments even though I don't have any geo characters I want to upgrade, just in case.

facepalmolive posted:It definitely seems like Overload is meant to be more of a 'utility' reaction (as Superconduct is), in that helps break shields and interrupts/knocks things back (though some would call this an anti-utility). So I think it makes sense that it was intended to do less damage than the pure DPS reactions. The XQ thing in particular goes even deeper than Overload vs Vaporize. Oz only procs electro so fast and since I didn't whaaaaale for C6 Fischl (which in theory would get me a 1:1 comparison with XQ's ult in terms of procs) the majority of my hits are just fire. Worse, depending on timing/distance some of those big overloads I might have triggered will be triggered by the bird proccing off my fire damage. It might be a significant increase in damage, at a certain point, to switch over even without a sac sword but the numbers are so tiny and go by so fast I can't tell you what that point will be. All I have now is an anecdotal "If Barb's aura is up then fights go way faster". There's also the weird case of Diluc, where your EM is (relatively) low but your Pyro damage is super high but you're using the witch set and that boosts overload more than vaporize but you activate pyro so fast that XQ's ult is the only thing that can keep up but but but... This is the point where my eyes glaze over so I just google for the crazies who have spent hundreds of hours testing, except in this case someone would have to spend tens of thousands to test all the variables in the first place.

I followed the maps to pick up all the meteorites but I only have 215 when I’m suppose to have 218. Are those last 3 going to be important to hunt down? E: In other gatcha games I’ve played it wasn’t ever worth it to lvl up 4 star characters cause the 5 stars were just that much better. But here people are using 4 star characters. Is that just because the game is so new and there aren’t that many characters yet?

# ? Nov 18, 2020 03:05 |

Partly that probably, but also you do not get many 5 stars and spiral abyss needs two full teams (for most players). Some of the 4 stars are also quite good for how easy they are to get.

# ? Nov 18, 2020 03:13 |

I don't think there are even 8 5-star characters in the game yet, even if you count the MC. And that's ignoring the fact that it would take you years to save up enough f2p currency or thousands of dollars to get all the five-stars right now. And once you did... like half of them are only really useful as your main DPS and don't bring anything to the table as a support, so it would be pointless to have multiple in the same party. Diluc+Fischl is a way better team comp than Diluc+Keqing.

Most of the popular ones usually have lower rarity units that are really good. The 4*s that are good are really good like Bennet and Xingqiu. But yea as was stated there's like 28 characters in the game and 8 of those are 5*s. So just from the niche factor alone 4*s currently have a place. As an example Xiangliang is the only spear user in the game so far until Zhongli comes out in a month. Barbara is also your only guaranteed water user and healer.

The biggest grossing gacha in Japan's best characters is basically a 1 star out of 5 (FGO) One of the best characters in Tales of Crestoria, a recent gacha, was a lower rarity character because he produced the best debuff in the game.

minus MC there are exactly 8, but that's only 1/3 of the roster overall and you've got missing spots like geo, or Qiqi being the only cryo rep while being a lackluster reaction support. hell, pyro has two 5* and both are selfish enough that you wouldn't look to them for reaction support either. so running only/all 5* isn't all it would seem to be. gacha games all have different ways to approach their character rarity stuff and most games that get away with having absolute garbage low rarities seem to have their scope run all the way from 1* to 5*. even in that style of game there's usually room for some 4* to be good even if you aren't FGO and making some absolutely indispensable characters 3* or below. with Genshin we only have two character rarities so 4*s sucking across the board would probably kill this game, and the big deal with 4* here is aside from most being good to great at C0 they're much easier to get dupes and unlock some stupidly good constellations that would at least put them in competition with 5*.

How do you craft condensed resin? I'm rank 4 in Liyue so I should have gotten the blueprint, and I assume I already used it since it's not in my inventory where recipes would normally be (or in any other slots).
