So unless I want to get a small pile of exp books I don't even have to engage with the oceanid event boss? Even MHY knows what a terrible boss it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs1xgMaA50U Rosaria gets the Dreamy treatment, at least for rotations and team builds, and the anti-phys alliance grows stronger. honestly don't think there's much worth putting in a weapon ranking for her since stuff is pretty obvious but who knows. the double cryo melt setups she enables drawing a nice divide between pyros who can and can't use them (well) is really nice for hitting both sides of Abyss with pyro carries. notable new info for me was an ER threshold for her (140) but if you haven't learned about her ICDs yet you also get all that.

I picked this up on a whim the other day and I'm really digging it. I am totally F2P so I'm trying to spend my Fates smartly. I got Diluc off the regular banner which I guess is a great pull? For my Intertwined Fates, whats the best use for those? When should I pull on a weapon banner vs. a character banner?

Characters let you build new teams and play with new styles. Weapons are purely for bigger numbers. Pick which of those you want. The general consensus is you should pull on the character banner because nothing in the game is hard enough that you need the numbers of a 5 star weapon.

If you haven't expired the Beginner's Banner yet, you'll get Noelle (Geo, Claymore, shield user/healer that's super tanky) and at least one other 4-Star, plus it gives you 4 free rolls total (The only catch is you have to save up 8 Acquired Fates at once). After that, if you're pretty early on focus on pulling for characters through the Event Banner and the Permanent banner, if you don't like any of the characters on the Event Banner (Right now it's Childe which is hit or miss for most people), just save or roll on the Permanent Banner. It'll be quite a long time into the game before you really need to worry about optimizing by pulling from the Weapons banner, and as a new player it's usually better to try and find what kind of playstyles stick with you so you can start building towards your first real team. You'll get a handful of free 5-Star weapons through the story at some point, and some of them are among the best for certain characters in the game so don't sweat the weapon's banner too much. You just missed out on the weapon's banner that would've given Diluc one of his best weapons in the game, right now is essentially Venti's bow so I wouldn't worry about pulling on it.

Glad you found the thread so quickly into playing it, it's a lot to understand going in blind! It doesn't tell you but it's generally better to just pick one character and invest into leveling them up the most that you can instead of trying to spread it out among your entire party. Also here's the before I play wiki as a cliffnotes thing to try and guide you starting out because this game is kind of a lot if it's your first gacha. https://beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Genshin_Impact

Diluc is an excellent if boring carry (The party member you normally have attacking while everyone elses abilities are on cooldown). He is further improved by having Xingqiu and Bennett on the team so if you like Diluc's playstyle try and get them when possible. Use your intertwined fates on the character banner. With the character banner with enough wishes you'll eventually get the banner 5 star character, with the weapon banner you might not ever get the weapon you want.

Thanks, all. That's really helpful! For primogems or whatever, should i be spending them on Intertwined or Acquaint Fates? It seems like you get the latter from ascending characters so they don't seem quite as valuable.

Furthermore, don't feel like you have to spend your intertwined fates and primogems right away, save them for banners you care about. If you don't like the characters on the banner for whatever reason (XQ's haircut is dumb, fight me), just skip it. The posters in this thread will be happy to expound on what the best meta characters are, but the core gameplay's easy enough that you can basically play whoever you want, albeit less efficiently if you decide to use Barbara as a carry or something. For the standard banner wishes, spend them whenever you want, it's very rare for new characters and stuff to get added so you're not missing out on anything if you pull. Otherwise, try to slow-burn the game if you can, it'll take a while but you will run out of content and then you'll be stuck waiting for new content in between major patches.

I'd say go for Intertwined since you're just starting out and the banners where all the new characters are will want those. Also after doing 90 wishes on those banners you're guaranteed a 5* character so it's a better investment in the long run. Also the Character Archive in the menu shows you all the playable characters in the game right now so you could look at that and get an idea of who you hope to get soon or know what's in the game right now.

i'll go somewhat against the grain just to say the weapon banner shouldn't be entirely disregarded or treated as if its only value lies in the 5* weapons. we've had several in the past with strong lineups of 4* weapons and there are many characters who improve notably with a gacha 4* weapon rather than the few prototype or BP options on offer. a breadth of 4* weapons is also going to give you some more options when building a character (whether to focus them on reaction damage, burst spam/team charging, raw damage etc). the character banner will occasionally drop 4* weapons from the same pool so it's not as if the weapon banner is ever required outside of the few exclusive weapons (Lithics, Alley weapons etc) which don't have as strong cases for being BiS like say, a Sacrificial weapon on Xingqiu or Sucrose. so in general i'd agree with the common advice of focus on the character banner first. if a weapon banner comes along with a strong 4* lineup that has a couple BiS options for your characters or would allow you to try out new niches with some, then rolling on it isn't bad at all. it's just important to know that weapon banners are bad for targeting any single weapon, 4* or 5*, so you should really be rolling them with the idea that you're okay with multiple of the 4* and no expectations on getting a specific 5*.

Thank you! The game feels comically huge and I'm enjoying just playing it with no real agenda. Feels like a real game that just happens to have a gacha tacked on, at least early on. I'm super overwhelmed but I wont stress about doing everything right away then.

But on the other hand, the characters all need 168 materials to level them completely to max level (You probably won't bring a bunch of people up to 90, 80 is honestly plenty, not even including how much money it costs at that point) so be sure to collect everything you come across. Calla Lillies, Wolfhook, Windwheel Asters, Philanemo Mushrooms, Valberries, Dandelion Seeds, I dunno if you've seen any of those yet but it's better to get into the habit of grabbing them now while you can.

Just in case Levantine, if you stumble upon the Dragonspine Adventure Camp while still in Mondstat, it is definitely not supposed to come before Liyue. I was still new and stubborn and did all of Dragonspine on my own before going into Liyue. You can get those quests at Adventure Rank like 15, but it's the most recent content and has some annoying mechanics and enemies. For some dumb reason I thought that to get to Liyue you had to go through Dragonspine, that's definitely not the case.

In the end game you have to make up your own goals, like getting everyone to friendship 10, or getting every char to level 70 and it can feel like a grind if you're not into that. I still play every day for an hour or two, but some people get burnt out.

I'm super overwhelmed but I wont stress about doing everything right away then. A couple tips: 1. As others have said take your time, at best as anyone can tell, the main plot isn't going to significantly move forward until mid-late summer, so you have plenty of time to get your bearings and catch up. 2. Raising your character's level only gets you so far, you are going to have a bad time if you neglect their artifacts and talents. 3. As you steadily get stronger the world level (difficulty) will increase, sometimes you need to perform a quest for it to increase, and sometimes once you reach a specific adventure level it will immedately occur, try and be ready. Luckily nowadays if you find things too difficult you can lower the world level by 1 if you need to.

The only advice I'd give is you'll get something called weapon billets. Be careful with them, you don't get them very often after your first few.

Another tip: 4. Don't feel the need to go after 5* weapons. There are plenty of 4* weapons that are so good some people forget that they are 4*. There are also some suprisingly good 3* weapons that are great on the right character (Barbara with the 3* Thrilling Tales of the Dragon Slayers for example) mikemil828 fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Apr 11, 2021 |

mikemil828 posted:Another tip: This is excellent advice. I've been playing since launch and only recently got my first 5* weapon because I got god-draws during Keqing's banner and got her C2 somehow, so I splurged and went for the sword. 4*s, especially if you buy the BP and get those, are more than enough for the current content. Also a minor bit of advice but the tooltip that tells you doesn't like to pop up: The big dandelions in Mondstadt are collectable, but you need to blow the fluff off with an anemo (wind) skill first, like the Traveler's E. When I first started I didn't realize that for a long time.

It seems like you get the latter from ascending characters so they don't seem quite as valuable. Intertwined Fates are strictly superior to Acquaint Fates. Most S-tier gacha stuff is Intertwined-only. In addition to free Acquaints from leveling you can buy 5 Intertwined and Acquaint monthly from the shop for Stardust. Starglitter should be reserved for Intertwined or for high-value 4* characters. The drop rates on 10-pulls are identical to single pulls so I burn Acquaint as fast as I get it. I'd suggest saving Intertwined for the next character banner (Zhongli). The current one (Tartaglia) is harder to use at c0. Don't feel like you need to spend money on the game for an edge. The return rate on spending cash is pretty poor (~$15 for a 5* through 3 Welkins, worse through all other monetization). World level doesn't increase the game difficulty very quickly and Diluc is pretty strong and easy to use. Though you'll want another high-damage unit for enemies with fire-immunity. Diluc pairs well with ice and water for vaporize and melt reactions. The easiest way to equip him is to buy a Northlander Claymore Billet from Marjorie in Monstadt, take it to a smith, and turn it into a Prototype Archaic.
