Yeah I’ve gotten the third kid once out of prolly twenty or more total. it’s a little race thing. They actually have a little story reason why he is never picked that is explained in a Chang the ninth quest. One of the three options for that. I did finally cure the girl in mondstadt, haven’t noticed if they are still messing about the fountain afterward.

I've complained about the random dailies tied to achievements on pretty much every survey. I don't mind them being rare, but when you have zero chance of controlling which version of the quest you get, that's bad. At least remove the "completed" routes from the pool.

I did the storyteller commission for the first time last week. I'm waiting on my third Fatui one from the guy in the church, but I can't remember which options I've picked before so I'm probably screwed there. I'm sure I've given all four types of items to the Geo Archon diary guy, but the achievement won't complete. Doesn't help that he removes the hints from my inventory sometimes Of course, the commission pool will dilute further once the third nation arrives

How am I supposed to deal with two hydro skirmishers and an electro hammer guy? I'm about of a level with them (They are about level 61, my Razor is about 63, my Fischel about 56, my traveller is my only ascended to level 70 character), but I just cant seem to outdamage their healing. The hydro guys always split up, and whichever one I hammer on just gets healed up by the other one. I know I use electro to break their shield, but my levelled electro guys just cant seem to put enough damage out to beat the healing, so I think I must be missing something. I nearly got one of them down, once, then the electro hammer guy charged in from offscreen and killed Razor, and by the time her death animation was done the hydro guy was shielded, 10 seconds later he was back on full health. This is the "go fight these enemies" from todays branch of the strange hillichurl event.

Well, for one thing you don't actually need to kill them with an Electro character if they're underleveled. You can break the shield and then switch to a better character. For the purposes of breaking shields, stats don't matter at all, only the "elemental power" of the skill, which is a hidden stat each elemental attack has. A level 1 character is just as good at shield breaking as a level 90 character (albeit more at risk of dying).

Can you play it like an MMO and have Fischl shoot one of them with an arrow and get them to chase after you and fight them separately or are they all a team that moves together as a singular unit?

Also each attack has a short cooldown before it can damage a shield bar again. Only really noticeable with catalyst users and archers (aimed shots seem to have a cooldown just slightly longer than their charge time so you have to space your shots).

Is Barbara worth investing in? I've been rolling with Traveler, Chongyun, Xiangling, and Xingqiu the past couple days and it's been really fun freezing dudes and then having Chongyun shatter them, but a healer seems nice to have since I'm taking damage more than I maybe should. I could bring Noelle back in for her shield or raise up Barbara, but I'm not sure who I'd replace. I guess I use Traveler the least of the four in my current party?

Harrow posted:Is Barbara worth investing in? Not really. Her problem is she heals and maybe applies wet. There are other healers in the game who heal and do other stuff like shield or cleanse or do damage. That said, don't feel bad about using her while levelling. Having a HoT that you can keep hitting to keep everyone topped up while levelling is great, and there's a 3* catalyst that gives an attack buff when you switch off of her which you should try to get to refine 5 as soon as possible. Stat boosts like that are a way bigger deal while levelling before you get good artifacts.

Harrow posted:Is Barbara worth investing in? Xingqiu can work for spot healing once you have his first ascension talent, but that relies on good shielding or avoidance to minimize damage. I used him as my only healer for a long time but that was with albedo for constant shield crystals and Beidou to just shrug off huge hits. Barbara is ONLY good for healing, though, and she self-applies wet. This is torture against anything cryo. She feels like dead weight a lot of the time and actively harmful when you get chain frozen. If you have Bennet or Diona I would use one of them over Barbara. Noelle is okay but she has to be on field for a long time to get any healing done.

That was very much not fun. Thanks for the advice, appreciate it!

Ah okay, I think that's what I meant by "invest in." Like is she worth the resources to get to like level 20 or 40 or something for leveling. I know character leveling/ascension resources can be precious later on but I'm not sure what level can still be worth it for a character you're not necessarily going to use long-term.

I really wish I had Bennett  I started too late to get enough starglitter in time to grab him from the store probably so I'll just be hoping he shows up in a wish some day.Maybe I'll swap in Noelle just to have some shielding at least. I feel odd switching out Traveler already but the other characters are all more useful right now so

Try putting down a Fischl bird, Kaeya bursting, then beating one of the hydro guys down with Razor's burst. The Kaeya burst will help a lot with the shields, and make sure to keep blasting his ice out after the bursts are over, him or any other cryo character you can swap in will be able to take care of the electro shield after you take down the healers.

Barbara does cleanse, she just cleanses in the worst possible way because applying Freeze or Electro-Charged to yourself is hilariously bad. But "cleanse" in this game is defined as applying an element to yourself to react away negative status effects and Barbara is possibly the best character in the game at applying elements to herself. It's just that Hydro really sucks at cleansing.

I'm not sure how far along in the story you are, my next bit of advice would've been to try again but go to a Liyue statue and get your Traveller running Geo and drop a pillar in the way of the healing shot. Since you can block it with Ningguang's screen and I'm betting those blocks too. Also, I did the superstitious Eula wish strategy of going to the Brightmoon Canyon beach as Amber and I got her like, 30 wishes after I got Jean. So I think it works? That's a massive relief, I was about to spend like 50$ to get more primogems. Also got like, Xingqiu c7 and another Rust so, all in all, very good pull. But we'll see how wishing for Klee goes, on the other hand...

I did pull Zhongli from the last banner and contemplated trying to petrify the wet boys, but I havent got round to levelling him past 21 yet, and am currently a little short of character experience materials and mora (just need to do some minor grinding on blossoms when I can be bothered).

It's just that Hydro really sucks at cleansing. As far as building Barbara goes, she does have an intensely gimmicky setup where she can spam Charged Attacks due to her CAs having an utterly absurd multiplier compared to other Catalyst users, and she has the option to Vaporize. The reason nobody does it is because investing in Barbara's regular attack is pretty gross, she wants HP% over ATK%/Crit from artifacts normally, and there isn't a Xingqiu-equivalent Pyro support who can keep reapplying Pyro for her to Vaporize away. In theory, if such a Pyro support did exist, Barbara with Wanderer's would be a reasonably effective damage dealer who could do full damage Vaporizes instead of the reverse ones that Pyro carries do. But unless you're planning on building a character strictly for the memes or the expectation of a character that doesn't exist yet, I would probably not dump skill books into her.

Yeah that was me playing this game too! I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and kinda wasted a lot of my initial rolls as I was starting out because this was my first Gacha game and they throw a lot of Terms and Nouns at you when you start playing it. It went a lot smoother when I remembered there'd probably be a thread about it on here to ask people 'hey what the gently caress am I doing?' I personally wasn't a big fan of the traveller either, so I swapped over to using Razor when people started telling me he was great and I basically just used him for most fights. And it's not till C6 Xingqiu that I've got a one-handed sword user that I actually enjoy fighting with.

Nakar posted:Strangely enough, applying Anemo to yourself has no downsides as it creates a Swirl originating from the character, but is considered friendly and doesn't damage you. This means Jean is the only cleanser who can't gently caress you over at any point; even Bennett can cause problems if you end up self-Overloading. Not sure why the non-Jean characters who infuse their element get to suffer negative reactions. I'm also not sure what the actual benefit of constantly reapplying Wet is supposed to be for Barbara, since just about everything she can "cleanse" will do something nasty to you when it does so. When you put it like that, I think Geo would be the absolute best element to self-apply for cleansing purposes—Crystallize doesn't deal much damage and you'd get a useful shield shard out of it. Maybe we'll get a Geo support that relies on self-Crystallize to generate shields someday; that'd be neat.

MarquiseMindfang posted:Anyone have any idea of the merits of DEF Down as opposed to Resistance Down? Resistance is a pure % reduction. So if something has 20% resistance you deal 80% damage to it, and you inflict -20% resistance down, you're just going back up to 100%. (note that if you reduce something's resistance below 0%, it's halved, so 10% with a 20% down is -5%). Defense is more complicated than that, but for equal levels between your character and the enemy, -23% defense (Klee's c2) is a ~12% damage increase.

Res down is so powerful for the first 20% of it or so that you should look to include at least some in all your comps when possible. The easiest way to do this is with anemo via the viridescent venerer set or with zhong li. Other ways include superconduct, Xiangling C1, Beidou C6, Xingqiu C2, etc. It has diminishing returns in the sense that once enemies have 0% resistance to something res down only becomes half as effective. So VV will take a 70% res enemy down to 30% (a 133% damage increase!) or a 0% enemy down to -20% ("only" a 20% damage increase). Most enemies have 10% resistance to most elements.
