No, I only own two C1 5 stars and one was an accident, the other is a standard char. 5 stars that require cons wouldnt be worth building but that describes zero of them so far. Some 4 stars are very cons-dependent (Xiangling C4, Beidou C2 are imo two of the biggest) but you'll get them eventually so it doesnt really hurt you to level them now.

Also yoimiya's burst animation is pleasing. I'm guessing they recognize this will be a popular character.

Mora leylines are actually a very reasonable use of resin, because they give you 60K.

Also, we're getting a new Battle Pass in the next couple of days and that will give you a nice steady stream even if you don't get the paid version.

I'd say it depends on your AR level - at lower levels, you'll get enough from the free Battle Pass/random event shops to tide you over, and the leyline rewards scale with WL. I didn't start grinding mora leylines until I hit the 40s I think. Same with artifacts - blues work fine, though if you're hitting lv 70 you'll want to be using at least purples on your carries/dps. IMO it's worth running occasional domains before AR 45 but definitely don't seriously grind them before then.

For anyone using a Melt Ganyu team on floor 12-2 of Abyss, do you still not use burst on the Oceanid critters? Or is it just a matter of using Ganyu on the first team and an entirely different team 2. Wouldn't having more Ganyu bursts still be better to dump on those stupid Lecturers' shields on 12-3?

I dunno if I'm sold on giving up Ganyu burst charge if the hardest content in the game prefers a burst spam style of play.

I use the burst if I cannot auto. But for 12-2, the critters have water aura constantly, so the pyro to be applied is likely to get vaporized before I can melt the pyro with Ganyu. So, I just use the burst anyway and become permafreeze Ganyu. (Though my Wander's substats are pretty high that it does comparable damage to my full blizzard set.) I have enough DPS for Ganyu to auto everything in under a minute or two, but the burst both does damage on top of my auto and keep them from attacking.

For the Lectors, I use the burst mostly for their shields and not for when they are unshielded, but sometimes I use Ganyu's burst for iframes to dodge their energy drain attacks, but I normally use Klee/Bennett for the first half and keep Ganyu to the second half.

For full 36* Abyss, you can always switch up your teams for each chamber and ignore how they perform in previous chambers so as long as everyone is alive and have their energy.

I'm ready for new characters but I'm especially ready for a new region. There's only so many stories you can spin about CONTRACTS and FREEDOM before I'm hungry for something new.

Plus the art we've seen of Inazuma promises some nifty looking places.

I'm currently working through the Liyue main plot questline and just got up to the Jade Palace last night. I don't know how much of this is accidental vs how much was intentional game design (with the insane amount of attention to detail in this game, and the surprisingly serious story happening in the periphery about international diplomacy, back room power playing, the role of detached gods in a modernizing human world, and the gonzo implications of the entire game being built on a close read of heretical Gnostic anti-deist texts, I'm inclined to believe that MiHoYo has a lot of smart people at work who understand lingo like "ludonarrative resonance" and who are making a game they care about very much) but I've been laughing about how the main quests are like:

Monstadt, Land of Wind and Freedom posted:

Go run around and explore, jump off stuff and glide a bunch, get into big crazy fights with fantasy poo poo, go on a date with a witch, hang out with a bunch of fun, horny, chaos alcoholics. Everyone loves each other and would die to keep them safe.

Liyue, Land of Stone and Contract posted:

Tedious business negotiations, comparison shop, fetch quests to fulfill obnoxious contractual subclauses, hang out with sexless bureaucratic oligarchs you have no desire to be around (every quest character, every adepti, etc), but are nonetheless obligated to for a variety of complicated reasons having to do with contract law and money and diplomatic immunity. Everyone hates each other and would sell them into serfdom for a cheeseburger Hot Pocket.

If Liyue is about bureaucracy and all the requisite maneuvering, red tape, etc., Sumeru is 100% going to be about academia and all its flaws, stresses, etc. There've already been like two quests about helping out a Sumeru scholar trying to get their thesis done...

Idle thought: Would you all like bonuses for specific, themed team comps, beyond the normal elemental resonance for doubling up/not doubling up on an element? I'm thinking stuff like an artifact 2/4 set bonus, but party-wide. Like you have 2 or 4 characters aligned with the Knights of Favonius (Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, Amber, Noelle, Traveler, etc) and it gives a "Freedom Vanguard" buff of some kind. Barbara and Rosaria for a "Battle Nun" 2 set perk. A full team of claymore users and you get a "Do You Even Lift" buff. Put Kaeya and Diluc on a team and get the "Holy poo poo Just gently caress Already" buff where switching between them generates burst energy or something.

C6 Lisa is theoretically capable of huge hits because you can bypass setting up debuff stacks and just immediately charge the big lightning strike, which happens to have a ridiculously high modifier on it.

But nobody has C6 Lisa or has put in the time/effort to get her to that point. Also she's Electro so she doesn't get to pump those hits with Vaporize or Melt.

I got my Diona adequately equipped with a leveled up Noblesse set and realized that the Noblesse grind will never end...

Still need to get good pieces for XQ and Bennett. XQ should be easier though since he normally uses 2 Heart/2 Noblesse for DPS. I also still haven't actually gotten an hourglass with ER yet, so both my Diona and Bennett are using HP hourglasses. It works, but for Diona at least I'd definitely prefer ER, since her main job is feeding energy to Eula.

LUCKILY all the domains I need to farm are actually useful for both sets of artifacts now. Any great Bloodstained pieces will be good for Eula, need Heart of Depths for XQ and Blizzard Strayer for Ganyu, and I'm looking to upgrade my Millileth set to more damage oriented for ZL while I upgrade my Eula's Pale Flame.

Diluc and Kaeya have bad blood for other reasons but they're actually adopted siblings.

That said I'd just take getting a 'And then the characters talk with each other' bonus for party compositions. How exactly do Razor and Bennet know each other? Please go into more detail. Does Ningguang actually have any friends or just subordinates? Same question for Rosaria. Has anyone actually seen Albedo eat a food once?
