What about Recurve Bow? It's the only HP% bow, +46.9 HP when you max it out.

Seems like the most sensible option is to run a 3* bow until the event bow becomes available.

Best weapon's gonna be favonius bow, not just for TC reasons but for actual ingame practicality reasons. HP% sands are much more common than ER sands, and you're gonna need either an ER weapon or sands unless you're gonna run like, Raiden/Yelan/Xingqiu/Jean (this is gonna be a decent B-tier comp btw, I prognosticated it). Your ER sands are probably gonna be both weaker and in higher demand than your HP sands, so you might as well use HP% and skip on the crit bows.

Unless you dumped all your HP% severed fates and noblesse sands with high potential, in which case yikes, and also, stop doing that. Stop doing that with Def sands too. I'm sure they'll make a Def scaling burst support at some point. Probably.

I read people saying she would be good for Yoimiya. Please tell me this is actually true. I'd rather keep Xingqiu with Hu Tao (and he's kind of awkward to use with Yoimiya anyways).

It's a timezone thing, Shanghai is 13-16 hours ahead of the USA so when Mihoyo says maintenance at 8.00AM 31 May it actually means late evening 30 May for you Americans.

I'll cross my fingers. The weirdness with auras and reaction timing (with what triggers the reaction, etc) is really confusing.

If they are compatible, would Yelan want EM?

no, EM is for whoever is triggering the reaction. Yelan should be providing aura for Yoimiya to vape

Ah, that's good to know (though my Yoimiya doesn't really have any EM to speak of).

edit: I think the only times I've ever tried to build for EM have been with Anemo characters.

Yoi is a bit weirder bc her options for EM weapons aren't as good as Hu Tao/Diluc, so your main consideration is whether you run atk or EM sands. that's a decision other pyro DPS make too, but it's mainly based around your supports, since Bennett will saturate atk and make EM more valuable while Sucrose or other EM sharers do the opposite.

I saw a few people saying this is usually a Tuesday(US)/Wednesday(China) thing, so it's a day early, if that's your perspective.


Also lol I had to move the directory to an external so it'd have enough room to extract. Hopefully this "let you delete old crap you don't need" (i.e. old movies that you can't watch in game anyway) feature lets me save a lot of space. It's real nice to have genshin on an SSD, but that was a 40gb directory I just moved.

EM is good on anemo characters and exactly Xiangling+Hu Tao. It's not great on Yoimiya because she'll only vaporize a third of her damage, Diluc will do a bit better but it's still generally worse than atk.

Yelan seems really fun so far. Trying to run her with Yoimiya who I’ve never particularly enjoyed. Might try to slot her into a freeze team instead later.

hit keqing on the 50/50 in my first 10 roll but yelan came home after only 40 more :toot: that's only the 2nd time I've rolled a 5* before soft pity

really disappointed that the game's forcing me to do other quests before I can participate in the event tho

Took until 80 but made my 50/50 so that's a huge win in my book. Really loved her trial. No Yanfei so she's still c0, boo.

Immediately put Yelan in my teapot and fed her 21 dishes. She's probably chonky as gently caress now and I'm not sorry.

In other teapot news, one of the blueprints from last patch is an outdoor cooking stove so I can finally do all my BP tasks in front of my house in the teapot, hooray! Extreme QoL.

Is it in the Chasm? Stuff will not show on the main map but will have an Icon on the teleport UI right side if it is down there.

Sort of depends on her ER requirements really. Emblem with ER up til the point she can use her Burst on cooldown, and then stack the rest into HP and crit stuff is how I'm going about it.

4-piece Severed Fate is the way to go I'm just trying to figure out if I want a hydro goblet or HP goblet. Also sac. bow or fav. bow god it's a hard call on that one. I use Emblem of Severed Fate on pretty much everyone so ER sands are worth their weight in gold. Yelan can settle for HP sands. :dumb:



She definitely has two useful exploration skills between the rapid dash and the rapid charged shot. I didn't expect she would launch enemies on skill use, that's always useful.

If you already have a Nob holder, then Emblem. If good emblem pieces ever dropped.

Easier said than done when you hit the artifact limit with only 5 star artifacts. There are a lot of pieces that have potential IF the right character is released, but who knows when that will happen, if ever, and something has to go.

You have 1500 maxed out 5 star artifacts? Hitting the cap just means you need to feed a bunch of stuff to other stuff.

Yes, but that means feeding away stuff that has "potential" into other stuff that has "potential" :v:

Then it rolls all flat defense or HP.

naw, just feed the stuff you know will never have potential into whatever. Since a +20 artifact will take a +0 to 16

:confused: it just means that you rotate between three different buff states and the damage scales between a low/mid/high state based on which part of the cycle you're in. Not that complicated. It's worded that way so that it works for characters who augment damage (XQ, Yelan, Thoma) or who throw out damage units/zones (Albedo, Fischl, Xiangling, etc) so that the buff takes effect even while the unit's off-field

Do I understand it correctly that it does have a duration (that isn't mentioned anywhere) and it just resets back to the first state if you don't trigger the transition to the next one in time?

For example:
Start in 1, Shoot something with an arrow -> Go to 2
Forget to do anything for a bit -> Go back to 1

Start in 1, Go to 2, Go to 3 -> Get maximum bonus for a while -> You can't proceed even after dealing damage and go back to 1

Just seems like there's some missing text.
It kinda reads like it should last forever after damaging enemies twice.
