When it comes to shields, the shield's weakness will ALWAYS be better than raw damage/off-element damage.

My Barbara is specc'd for HP and nothing else, she literally does like 50 damage to most enemies, but she rips through fire shields at an alarming pace.

I pulled him, and so far he's been underperforming. Maybe it's because I just don't have any good bows for him - all of my four-star bows are bad for him in some way - but Xiangling or Razor are doing more DPS than he is. Maybe once I get a really bitchin' set of artifacts on him, his true power will shine through, but I'm waiting until AR40 to get deep into the weeds there.

He really wants Rust or Skyward Harp, yeah-- but once you get his talents up he does absolutely insane burst damage and his vaporizes are bonkers.

You might not think that exp books and mora and talent books and weapon gems are really worth the $10 since they're farmable, but it is, on so many levels. Once you hit the BP40 range the rewards are nuts. I was happier getting all that stuff than I was the primogems and wishes and maybe even the BP30 weapon.

The Himbo is Home! \o/

What artifact sets are people using on him since we don't have a good hydro set right now?

Seems like the favored build right now is 2 Gladiator/2 Noblesse for the atk boost and the burst boost. Tartaglia's burst scales insanely high (even more so if it's a vaporize) so it's worth pumping.

Why are the 5* artifact domains so ridiculously scaled I just want some Noblesse pieces. I suppose I could settle for 4* pieces for awhile...

Elemental Mastery only affects the damage of elemental reactions. Basically when you see a word like "Melt" or "Overload" pop up, that is then affected by EM. It does nothing for normal, non-reactive elemental attacks. Also, only the EM of the character triggering the reaction (the one making the word pop up with their attack) matters.

So:
1) You bomb a hilichurl with Klee, doing damage and applying Pyro. Elemental Mastery doesn't do anything.
2) You hit a hilichurl with Barbara, making it Wet, then bomb it with Klee. Vaporize occurs. Klee's EM enhances the Vaporize damage. (Barbara's EM doesn't do anything.)
3) You bomb a hilichurl with Klee, doing damage and applying Pyro, then hit it with Barbara. Vaporize occurs. Barbara's EM enhances the Vaporize damage. (Klee's EM doesn't do anything.)

When choosing between ATK and ATK%, check your stats! You can easily see how much extra ATK a +ATK% artifact actually gives you.

You're still super early in the game and it doesn't really make too much sense to optimize artifacts yet, but the stat you want most is +Pyro DMG%.

Say I use Xiangling's Pyronado and swap to Tartaglia and use his melee stance/pop his burst. Does the EM get calculated differently based on which hit causes the Vaporize?

All these youtube videos I watch say that Childe is on the field for a good time, not a long time

That's more or less what I've been hearing too. My plan is to run Tartaglia/Xiangling/Bennett/flex slot, where the last could be Sucrose for VV buffs (most likely), Qiqi or Barbara for more heals if needed, or Razor for dealing with things that only a claymore can handle well.

Tartaglia is the big hitter, Xiangling is sub DPS for melee stance recharge time and fire setter, Bennett is a healer/buffer/elemental resonance add.

I thought that if they ever added "alter" characters in the game they could add a "Liontooth Jean" thats just a pure offense version of her but then I remembered that the whole Liontooth/Dandelion wordplay is completely lost in english. She doesn't have two titles like the english localization suggests, she only has one that gets mangled by english into two.

I just looked up the wordplay and I... genuinely did not know "Dandelion" was literally just French for Lion's Tooth. But it's kind of obvious in hindsight.

I ended up getting... c3 Noelle.

Like... game. There's 3 claymore users on the banner. You're gonna give me the one 4* claymore that isn't? drat.

I'm 45 or so rolls deep into the character banner pity, so I'll probably hit Zhong before the banner's up, but drat.

I'm never gonna understand how some of y'all get so many 4*s in less than 10 pulls (and forget getting 2 5*s within 10)-- almost everything I have is a pity roll.

So I'm working on building up Keqing right now. I was told to go for a build that emphasizes her electro damage over her physical damage, so I'm assuming what I want is:

Weapon: Black Sword
Artifacts: Thundersoother 4pc build, HP/ATK/ATK%/Electro%/Crit DMG?

then pair her up with someone like XQ for reaction support, Bennett for healing and dmg support, and a VV user?

I hit my 5* pity and got Qiqi instead of Zhongli, which I'm happy with since I was never going to use him anyway.

My only problem now is that I don't have enough swords to go around. My only non craftable 4* is the BP sword I have on Keqing but I also have Jean, Bennett, Xingqiu and now Qiqi wanting swords. And 3 of those want to use the 3* skyrider sword over any other 3*

She's well worth it. Qiqi has been in my party since day 1 more or less. She's really loving good and people don't seem to care much about her just because she's not a DPS. She's already really good with her E, but she becomes even better once you get her A4 and you can pop some talismans on enemies quickly.




Meanwhile I'm trying to decide who to run with Keqing as a carry. Should I do something like Keqing/Bennett/Xiangling/Venti or Sucrose, or maybe Keqing/Diona/Qiqi/Venti or Sucrose, or maybe some pairing with Xingqiu? I assume you want an anemo on the team for VV and someone who is able to cause reactions... I assume double Cryo is really good because it'd boost her crits.
