In one 10 pull I got Noelle, Xiang and XQ. The next 10 I got another XQ and a Favonius Sword. Now he's C3 and I wish I had Childe to pair with him.

Anyone know if the gladiator 4pc applies to Noelle when she's in burst mode? The game keeps giving me gladiator artifacts with DEF% and other stuff good for her.

Replace it for what? It's her best set.

I'd rather have a good bolide set since gladiator doesn't boost spin damage but this will do me just fine, especially since I'm AR40 and don't wanna waste resin on artifacts before 45.

How far into the game does the gacha stuff start happening? I’m a slow player and haven’t encountered those things yet.

I think they opened up at AR8, if you check the AR rewards at the guild lady it should tell you.

If that was a 60 resin weekly respawn everyone who pulls Xiao would burn down Mihoyo's office.

The Primo Geovishap? No it's 40 like other ascension material bosses. You're still spending twice as much resin to ascend one character unless you wanna spend stardust to convert all the non-anemo materials you get from the Geo.

I believe its gimmick is that it will have a different elemental configuration each time you fight it? Mine was water when I fought it with Ganyu.

Also you can counter its big attack with a geo or like-element shield.

Ummmm so if I've got Albedo, Jean, and a host of 4*'s at various constellation levels (notably Sucrose and Fischl pretty high)...what does Mona even fit with? Xingqiu -> Sucrose swirl -> Mona burst? Mona + Xiangling or Bennet? Doesn't really belong in any configuration at all?

Mona's good in any group since her thing is making enemies take more damage.

This tower thing is a lot of fun. I went all in on fire and ice towers to begin with (both are at level 4 now). Haven't managed to prevent all enemies from getting through yet, though; 1 or 2 have slipped through each of the three times I've done it (up to 1.2x).

Jean is kind of cheap against small units with it, since she can basically toss them off the ledge on her skill's cooldown.

Mona has also been very useful. I imagine that some of the Ruin Guards would have been a problem if I wasn't able to freeze them so much (using the ice towers + Mona's skill that pulses water). If I had used both water and ice towers it would have meant fewer fire towers and too low DPS.

Ganyu trivializes it. Haven't had one enemy make it through once even on 1.4x

Also you can apparently outright block them with geo traveler.

Jean and Sucrose are so OP in the tower defense game. Just yeet those fuckers off the stage.

Geo slimes are absolutely awful though if you have no way to bust their shields.

I usually put pyro/electro towers near the enemy gates to blow up any shields as soon as they show up and if they somehow make it past them they'll never make it past Ganyu and the hydro towers.

In the tower defense what's the best way to deal with the Ruin Hunters (the flying ones, I think those are Hunters), specifically on Level 4?

I tried putting multiple Pyro Towers (at level 6), but that didn't seem fully sufficient. It killed some, but not all (sometimes one would pass through during a gap when none of the towers would shoot at it). Ruin Graders (the really big Ruin Guards I think) were also giving me some trouble. During my second try of Level 4 I set up Pyro Towers along the whole path (with the idea of keeping some firepower on them for the whole lane), and this worked better than my first try (where my towers were almost all near the portals), but 3 or 4 still got through.

Easiest way is a long line of hydro and cryo towers. If you have Ganyu it's even easier.

They fire real fast for good damage but the aiming on them is... odd. That might be all turrets though.

Having one or two at the top of a long, winding path is worth it since the shots are homing after Lv.5 and they have very long range. Couple this with an electro/cryo combo at an enemy gate to superconduct them on the way in (or just an electro if you have Ganyu) and you have very efficient damage over a large area.

I am so excited about the Ninnguan fixes coming to 1.4. I'm surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about them. I kinda just assumed it was my comp being too slow or something that was causing the weird lag and homing ultimate issues.

What fixes are these? I haven't heard anything about them. Hopefully they make it a little easier to buffer input for a charge attack after a normal attack.

- The homing projectiles released by Ningguang's Elemental Burst "Starshatter" may not take effect. This issue will be fixed in Version 1.4.

That's nice, I started playing her more again after getting her to C2 after rolling her on the beginner banner but stopped after the game kept throwing Fischl dupes at me as I progressed though the story.

No, she's getting fixed in 1.4. That said, she's still pretty drat good even without the fixes, and if she feels super jank to you I'm not sure that's the problem for you.

Is the spotty projectile tracking a new problem? After not using her for a while I definitely noticed charged attacks and the burst whiffing more than I remembered when I used her a fair bit when I first started playing a couple months ago.

If I’ve got a dozen moons and want to invest in Huutie is there a general preference for how to approach? I basically have zero resources besides 800 weapon stones, but no dps pikes leveled. So I need xp books, boss ascension drops, talent books, weapon ascension tokens, and... i unno just feels like I’m forgetting something. Oh artifacts. Hu Tao is glads pref? Or bolide obviously.

I unno I was just wondering if there’s an order people like to take, most the advice I remember is just ‘do everything!’

Crimson Witch 4pc is her best set but 4pc Bolide might be worth using if you have Homa and Zhongli since shields are really good for helping her stay under 50% HP safely.

I wonder how people would react if for the next 3 character banners Amber, Lisa and Kaeya were on them. Not all at once of course, but since it's gonna be the Mondstadt patch it would be appropriate I think.
