Sucrose is kind of a budget Venti, but since Venti is so amazing that averages out to "actually really good."

Yeah I'll take "budget Venti" any day, assuming she'll actually show up

If anemo traveler was the only anemo character they'd be competitive. It's hard to articulate how broken 4 piece Venerer is, this one element gets to use an artifact set that's just so much better than the others.

sucrose pretty handily outclasses venti in single-target damage contribution or against mobs that can't be sucked up with venti's burst, it's just that venti is so good at crowd control and you spend so much of the game herding crowds and he's still really good at single-target.

With the gear I have for Sucrose I can throw her burst and usually get three skills out while a bunch of mobs are being juggled and hit with whatever element I threw on them with a wall of numbers and the end result is almost invariably that she has her burst back up and everything's dead. She's absolutely nuts and shouldn't be overlooked.

not like most characters can meaningfully interact with Venti's burst, you may as well get familiar with Sucrose because she has zero of those issues.

Okay I know I have over a month to do it, but because Genshin content producers are loving insane, is there already a video with the locations of all the conches yet? I just don't have to to comb through the islands and track them down myself.

It also stands that it's really easy to get the +3 to her skill and burst in her constellations compared to getting the same for Venti 5 star. I mean it's just really easy. Sooooooooo easy. Can you even believe some people don't have her? God, what lifeless chumps.

I wouldn't worry about it. There's only five so far, and the minimap displays a little icon over their location when you're nearby. You're unlikely to miss any of them so long as you set foot on each of the little islands.

Lmao can you imagine if this game had used Breath of the Wild's weapon degradation system as well as its general elemental reaction and exploration mechanics? The salt would be loving unreal.

I've been dropping Sucrose for Xiangling on Floor 12 in this past Abyss version since her damage wasn't cutting it. Just tried it again and I was able to 3* clear 12-1 and 12-2 way more easily than when I did it Xiangling. My buffs are even dogshit (weakpoint and +20% ATK). I should be able to do 12-3 with at least one good buff. Swirl buff must be doing its job. Pro-tip: freeze is good vs lectors because it shuts them the gently caress up

I have absolutely no idea but Paimon's kinda growing on me as a character. I no longer hate when she speaks.

# ? Jun 9, 2021 22:36 |

The writing for Paimon is self-aware enough to perfectly balance out the overt cutesiness. I think most people who are initially turned off by "stereotypical cute mascot #n" quickly come around after a few early quests.

# ? Jun 9, 2021 22:53 |
|
You don't mind her once you have a few weeks between seeing her. The initial twenty hour binge of the story content has an admittedly high paimon talking to gameplay ratio.

Pre-farming arts for Kaz, I've got the domain down to an art: Could still be faster if Mona had a proper DPS set/I hadn't swiped all Venti's good arts for Xiao/Zhongli was built for burst damage and not Crescent Pike.

yeah i like paimon now because they keep letting me tell her she's a greedy idiot that i keep around to eat, it is the same relationship i have with all of my dearest friends irl so they clearly knew what they were doing

I mean, that encounter specifically asks you to use a shield to counter its biggest attack, but yeah shields let you facetank most things in the game.

Yeah shields own If/when Zhongli is on a banner again I am probably going to spend money to get him, I won't be able to resist. Right now my only shielder is Noelle and even she helps a lot with survivability.

crystallize shields just got buffed by a lot, so they're pretty viable too.

Diona is a decent shielder too.

I have both Venti AND a C6 Sucrose by a twist of fate, not even targeting her honestly, so I'm at a loss what to do, maybe just farm two VV sets lol? This video makes me want to take full advantage of her kit

SlimGoodbody posted:I noticed a puzzle chest with submerged ice and fire elemental pillars near one of the beacon islands, so I think we'll probably be either lowering water levels or raising up some land masses. I saw that one, managed it by using amber to drop baron bunny on it, got the ice one by dropping rosarias burst. Used kaeya to build a little ice bridge out to it. Someone said in relation to the hide and seek event that this them testing the matchmaking system. I think this event is the same: testing the vehicle system.

Hide and seek was like... the fifth event that's used matchmaking, on top of co-op that's been using matchmaking since day 1.

It was the first somewhat-PvP content in the game though

Thanks, I'll try this with Amber, Kaeya, and maybe Eula if her burst is is spherical enough! quote:Someone said in relation to the hide and seek event that this them testing the matchmaking system. I think this event is the same: testing the vehicle system. The hide n seek was cute and fun so that was a good idea on their part, but oh lordy yes please give me a way to get around quickly without just teleporting to the highest spot in the area and gliding down to where I wanna be. Gimme a little carriage I can upgrade to have weapons and a boat mode and an airship mode, absolutely, hell yes

SlimGoodbody posted:wait, do shields literally just block all damage and let you facetank poo poo? I'll throw up a Zhongli shield and then my archers can just do charged shots to enemy archer faces all day long, because none of the hits she takes will stagger her out of aimed shot mode while shielded. Also, there's an achievement for beating Oceanid without ever taking damage from the exploding water spheres. That's probably really hard to do as intended, but when the shields just block the damage, you get the cheevo by accident. So really shields go beyond just blocking damage and provide bonus goodies on top of that because a lot of game mechanics are predicated on the idea that you'll take damage before they trigger. It's actually ridiculous.
