I hope they significantly buff Geo after his banner so all the haters' salt can give me life.

This is my feeling as well. Let Zhong + Albedo become the most broken OP combo in the game. For great justice.

I am lookin forward to 70% crit rate C2 Kaeya

I'm raising Chongyun and Xingqiu right now for this purpose specifically. :getin:

I just need to figure out what weapon to put on him. I've still got to pick my battle pass weapon, so it might be time to finally hang up Cool Steel in favor of the Black Sword...but I do have an R3 Favonius Sword. Decisions, decisions.

i need to stop farming artifacts long enough to get mine 60/70, but just bumping him to C2 from this month's shop has been a huge improvement. despite its wording, anything killed during the burst increases its duration, so you could in theory have nearly 100% uptime, only limited by your energy generation/time spent swapping. Razor/XQ/Kaeya is a reaction monster setup and makes me enjoy using Razor again.

I already get 100% burst uptime on him in a lot of domains. It's pretty sweet!

135 pulls, I'd the 8 Xinyans, 2 Zhonglis, and 3 Razors for just 1 Chongyun constellation.

Agreed. I have maybe 5 sets of lvl 20 5* gear to pass around meanwhile I just hit lvl 80 with Zhongli my 9th lvl 80. A new character to max level is hell of a lot easier than making a few new 20s. I'm AR 50 and 90% of resin is spent in gear dungeons.
I know that getting enough artifact XP for a level 20 is roughly 400 resin of artifacts, meaning it's ~11 days of artifacts + 2 days of mora to get a full set of level 5s for a character. Doing the daily artifact route has really helped, 10 days amounts to enough xp for a 5* artifact (plus it's something to do in-game).

Big whales fully resin refreshing every day can get enough XP for 40 5* artifacts in a month but that would take doing some routes on top of it.

She's handy if you wanted the specific combination of support, pyro and claymore like I did. Her skill effects are also kicking rad and her shield is pretty strong. Can also pivot into being a DPS, especially if you get a bunch of Cs. She's fine at c0, but gets good support breakpoints at c2 and c4 which also help her own DPS.

Basically this.

She has F tier idle animations, or rather animation, though

I managed to level Lisa up for the birds but I still have to pump atk/def food into my team at WL5 for Klee to survive. My fallback is phys XL and a Fischl and they get eaten alive. Ascending Childe and XQ at the same time was a mistake

My last few trips to do geocube I've taken to just swimming directly to its arena from the waypoint, and it's way less obnoxious than having to mess around with the 3-ish packs of hilichurls along the overland route.

Is there enough stamina for that? I usually do an ice bridge with Chongyboi to reduce the swim distance a little.

I usually teleport to the Geo domain there and climb up the mountain to glide on over. You can avoid the abyss mages pretty easily if you stay to the left and start climbing from further down.

It is slower, though. I ended up agreeing to do the Geo cube with a rando in co-op once; taking the route past the hilichurls was so much faster that they thought I wasn't joining them after all. :shobon:

This would be the most hilariously bad decision, and doubly so if they're only broken when together. Thankfully I trust Mihoyo to be smarter than reddit.

There's a small outcrop a little ways into the water that I start from. After gliding down from it, I've got enough stamina left to use about half on fast swimming before paddling the rest of the way. This is with no stamina reduction effects, and I'm pretty sure I've been having Diluc do the swimming, so there's room for improvement here.

If you're fine with slow swimming for half of it, yeah. I'm at max stamina and I only drown when I get impatient.

Most people these days don't read instructions or help screens, don't try anything, and complain about not understanding how to play.

It's actually funny that Jinx admits that he has to optimize math for things because he isn't good at mechanics because most Genshin content creators sure as hell aren't admitting they suck rear end.

Wait until you see the target before you try to climb and you'll never clip through.

It's really easy to be bad at the game when you have a C6 Diluc, C6 Klee, C6 Venti and C6 Jean as your main team. I guarantee the guy who did Abyss 12 with the F2P team knows more about the game than all the whales combined.

I've mostly moved over from Keqing to Ning as my major damage dealer, but that fight alone makes me happy I have her leveled. Hold-E throwing the lightning stiletto onto his neck and teleporting to it is the only way I've ever been able to get up there in a reasonable timeframe, I can't figure out which part I'm supposed to climb.
