I mean I don’t even have a character that uses the third boss mats and I’m not exactly tripping over myself to max out Jean and everyone else is way behind because the 36 domain takes like an entire days worth of resin to get you halfway through the ranks 4-6.

I appreciate this Fischl event because it's giving me the thing that really draws me into video games nowadays.

Character banter.

You have Paimon talking to someone about how everyone's doing when they were put to sleep by these meteorites and it's two sentences and then Fischl starts talking and it's an eight sentence paragraph that takes up a quarter of the screen. She sounds very unsure of half the stuff she's saying so I definitely buy that she has not spoken any German in her own time like people have been saying in here.

Also miHoYo is doing that Dragon Quest thing of having the enemies surrounding the meteorites in the overworld which I also appreciate.

is C1 Ninguang decent with Venti? None of my leveled dudes have good synergy with his wind ball and my only other catalyst options are Lisa, Sucrose and Barbara

they work extremely well together, bring someone who can throw another element into the vacuum and it turns into a monster mulching machine.

Off-banner just means not a rate up character for gacha terms. In this game you have a 50% for banner characters and 100% the next time if you pulled an off banner

God some of these comps are just brutal. One of the salvage groups was just nonstop lavachurls, and getting hit by one knocks you back WAY the hell out, assuming you don't get chainlocked and die. I feel like they either need to increase the radius or decrease the rate at which the bar goes down because goddamn getting knocked out means you just lost like an entire group's worth of progress.

What are people thinking in terms of accessories for Diona? I was considering 2 Piece Bolide (+35% Shield Effectiveness) and either 2 Piece Scholar (20% Energy Recharge) or 2 Piece Maiden Beloved (+15% Healing Effectiveness). It seems like she really wants energy recharge for her ult since it's costly and I dunno if she even really wants too much extra healing boosts since the ult seems to work like Bennett's and is pretty speedy regardless.

Bolide/Maiden seems like a good combination. a good weapon and artifact substats or hourglass mainstat can go a long way to fixing her energy issues like Xingqiu, so you don't have to rely on/settle for sets like Scholar/Exile that are capped at 4* in the long-term.

Bolide only works when the holder is active, I think.

I'm running 4-piece Maiden's since it's probably the most generally good thing she can use. I don't have energy issues though, running two cryo and Sacrificial Bow. I can see Scholar or Exile being good if I needed the energy regen.

I appreciate this event because everyone's Vision is reacting to the meteorites, which means there's actually VFX coming out of variable points on a character's body. Noelle was a pretty good meteorite search team leader because hers is back-mounted; meanwhile, Reventi's Gale Is Now Ready, despite being the best vertical traversal guy, has a fake Vision since his powers have another source, so he's no help.

I imagine the Traveler is the same way?

Yeah, Traveler doesn’t get that glow same as Venti.

Klee, Fischl, and Diona also have good Vision positioning. Lisa’s is bad (it’s on her chest), and a lot of people like Barbara and Xiangling wear theirs on one side.

I'm running Scholar and Exile just to get her ult up as much as possible. Bolide would be good too, if you've got the HP to really stack the shields. I've got C1 but no sac bow, so everything is basically just energy recharge.

I’ve found Noelle the best for watching the glow because it’s centered in a big bow that’s a contrasting color to the glow.

Oh, Bolide works on all shields, not just the Geo reax? Neat.

In other news, on my way to collect a meteor I saw some weird pink lizards so I furiously sprinted at them mashing the interact button and got some... loach pearls? Hadn't seen those before. I hope they're not a new ascension material or something.

The first big thing is that both of Sucroses abilities pull Klee’s mines towards the center of them, so instead of some being wasted they’ll typically be pulled into a mob and explode. Her Q especially pulls things in for a long time, pulses a few times for good swirl damage, and absorbs element so it will start dealing pyro damage after the first pulse. Beyond that her A4 talent to buff others with a % of her Elemental Mastery when she uses skill/burst means bigger reactions, which Klee loves.

Add the Viridescent Venerer set on top, which lowers enemies resistance to the element they get swirled with, and everything is ash while Klee laughs.

Do not sleep on Sucrose.

E: She also makes excellent use of Sacrificial Fragments, for additional swirls. Stack that on too of the second charge her skill gets at C1 and its even better.

I did Childe and Boreas at AR45 today - each dropped two golds (one artifact, one talent piece). Is that common? I feel like I've watched streamers do it at AR45 and they're always getting 3 golds.

If you do co-op for the meteors, you don't lose any progress so long as at least one person stays inside the circle. The other person can run out into the middle of nowhere to take out all the runners/casters/whatever.

Only having Razor as my current DPS makes those meteorite chunk missions at lvl 55 impossible when they stick Hillichurl snipers outside of the ring.

The second tier of those meteor missions broke me and I no longer care about the rewards, they're just too not fun to force myself through them. The circle is too small, and it combines every single aspect I hate about the domains into one tiny package. The one I tried earlier threw me in a tiny area with like a dozen of the fire bomb treasure bandit guys, while the meteor its self kept spitting out almost constant electro pulses. So the instant I failed to dodge even one thing I was juggled into oblivion on a wave of perpetual explosion reactions.

55 is the max level I can select and at that point there's two of them shooting 5 arrows at a time that do 400 damage each. I guess he needs to be lvl 70 to fight these guys.

Yeah the Hillichurl meteorite mission was by far the worst for my Razor Xinagling Fischl team beacuse overload would send the arachers flying out of the circle. Then they would pelt me with their shotgun blasts until I died. Swapping out Fischl for my underleveled Sucrose helped a lot because her burst gathers them all up in the middle. She dies in 1-2 hits though. Also, make sure to be attacking with razor towards the outside of the circle to try and hit enemies towards the center.

So I can't compete any of the meteorite things, I just get shredded in seconds every time. How do I do anything vs 5 archers, an abyss mage, two giant axe guys, 3 big fire slimes and like 5-6 small slimes at the same time? It's just overwhelming and I just spend all of my time dodging until I run out of stamina and die.

Is there a general guideline for what level my artifacts/weapons should be relative to my current AR? I’m at I think AR27 and I have my 4 star relics upgraded to 8 but everything else is at 4. My Klee is at 50 and everyone else at 40 and I’m having trouble clearing even floor 3/chamber 1 cause I don’t think I have enough dps or I’m just really bad at mechanics.

What do I even do at this point of the game? I don’t have any more quests available that I’ve found and the OP says I shouldn’t be feeling for artifacts until AR45.
