So, Stringless or Rust for Childe?

His daggers are considered normal attacks so Stringless doesnt seem to work on it from what people said. Slingshot also doesn't work.

By claculations for total damage in 30 sec. (28 normal hits + 2 EB)/sec.

Skyward Harp = 4281/sec.

Stringless = 4118/sec. (but weak normal shots in archer mode)

Rust = 3856/sec.

Amos = 3816/sec.

Blackcliff = 3703/sec. (in non-boss battles).

Viridescent = 3642/sec.

Raven = 3430/sec.

From some dude on reddit, can't really say how accurate it is tho.

Last I heard Stringless didn't work with his normal attacks and only applied to the initial AOE... I haven't tested it though.

I'd need the link because there isn't really an easy way to calculate how much damage 25% crit rate is, it's totally contingent on what your crit damage is.

It's mostly for the burst damage since its such a huge multi.

It's 2 EBs in 30 seconds which is possible because its cooldown is 15s isn't it?

who do I put my xp books into?



constellations:

fischl c2
xiangling c3
venti c2
barbara c5
noelle c2
ningguang c2

right now my strategy for most fights is drop xiang and fischl's pets then switch to razor and jean and hit stuff while cycling their skills.

XQ is really good with Razor carry. Then as No Wave said you want a 2nd carry at 80 for your 2nd team in Abyss.

Is it worth spending Talent books on Xiangling's Skill and Burst if most of what I do with her is spam regular attacks?

Granted my Xiangling is C6 but the majority of her damage is by far her burst and skill from my experience.

Is it really worth leaving dudes at 70 and not bothering with the last 2 uncaps

I heard this rumor somewhere, prolly this thread

for supports (Venti, Barb, Sucrose, Bennet etc) its fine but your DPS (Razor,Xiangling, Diluc, Klee, Childe etc) should not.

I followed the maps to pick up all the meteorites but I only have 215 when I’m suppose to have 218. Are those last 3 going to be important to hunt down?

E: In other gatcha games I’ve played it wasn’t ever worth it to lvl up 4 star characters cause the 5 stars were just that much better. But here people are using 4 star characters. Is that just because the game is so new and there aren’t that many characters yet?

What gachas are those? Most of the popular ones usually have lower rarity units that are really good.

The 4*s that are good are really good like Bennet and Xingqiu. But yea as was stated there's like 28 characters in the game and 8 of those are 5*s. So just from the niche factor alone 4*s currently have a place.
As an example Xiangliang is the only spear user in the game so far until Zhongli comes out in a month. Barbara is also your only guaranteed water user and healer.

Ok, forget saving up for Xiao. I'm all in on the guy from the new quest. No idea who he is or when he'll get put in the game, but the only thing cooler than having a cape is having a hat with a cape.

That's Scaramouche (do the fandango). He's apparently another Fatui Harbinger.

Is there a general guideline for what level my artifacts/weapons should be relative to my current AR? I’m at I think AR27 and I have my 4 star relics upgraded to 8 but everything else is at 4. My Klee is at 50 and everyone else at 40 and I’m having trouble clearing even floor 3/chamber 1 cause I don’t think I have enough dps or I’m just really bad at mechanics.

What do I even do at this point of the game? I don’t have any more quests available that I’ve found and the OP says I shouldn’t be feeling for artifacts until AR45.


The Traveler doesn’t have a vision? What about those things on her sleeve that glowed blue in the first scene with Venti when the dragon saw her?

Work on your weapons, ascensions and talents and dailys. Tho with the event running you should probably just focus on that.

Childe is really bad because it's just a title, same as targalis or whatever. His real name is in his bond lines.

Yeah Childe is just an old rear end word for Young Lord. Tartaglia is his harbinger codename and his real name is Ajax.

At AR45, you do have to run through the upgrade dungeon in order to get 5 star artifacts?

I dont believe so but why put it off its free pulls and better drops in world.

Lechtansi posted:


If Mondstadt took maybe 20 hours, and Liyue 30, and all the remaining zones are of Liyue size, then you get (6*30)+20 which is 200. It's all tea leaves anyways, since it's not actually out, but assuming the game lives long enough to see all 7 zones complete, 200 hours isn't out of the question.


The next area looks to be smaller than even Mondstadt.

The BP weapon selection kind of confuses me. Specifically - would Viridescent Hunt (instead of Rust) make C0 Childe a monster and therefore is good, or should I just get the Black Sword and wait for a sword character to stick it on?

They're very close in DPS calculation but the crit substat makes Childe feel a lot better to play and easier to gear imo.

The multiplier on her ult is big for a single hit but significantly smaller than the total multiplier of many 4* support ults including ones that don't require the character to be on the field for the duration of the ult. If you had the same stats and talent levels on Xiangling, she'd do more than twice that damage total over the duration of her ult. I consider that to be bad for a 5*.

It's weird to compare a single hit to a dot/multi hit. In Abyss if I can one shot a wave that's better than me waiting several seconds for her to do the same amount of damage as just pressing Q even ignoring the fact Mona's burst is gonna hit most of the room while Xiangling's fire discs aren't and can be finicky like on top of Stormterror where they'll whiff if you're too close to the neck crystal.

I remember meta-apes whining about Klee when she released as being weak and clunky and then by the end of the week universally agreeing that she was busted. Don't listen to meta-apes.

You get Zhongli for big shields and petrify. Everything else is extra and even then Crescent Pike Zhongli damage tests have him only like 2 seconds slower than Electric Keqing against Childe.

Electro scaled with EM perfectly keeps up with Melt/Vaporize reactions. It's just very few people are actually stacking EM with like Sucrose and its not as good as a video as Childe Diluc or Mona doing 100k.

What makes Venti so good? To be honest every time I’ve done a coop domain with a Venti I’ve always hated it cause I can’t attack the things he throws up into the air and he seems to do that 24/7 so I’m not sure why I’d want that.

He hits hard, reduces elemental resist, groups up enemies, generates ton of energy.
