So I just got enough Peace Talismans to buy one of the Lantern Rite characters. I only have the F2P characters, + Noelle and Sucrose from the Newbie banner. Which one should I get?

Have: Traveler / Amber / Lisa / Kaeya / Barbara / Noelle / Sucrose

Also have some extra wishes, should I just spend them on a character banner or is there someone I should be saving them for?

I'm curious how the rhythm game works on PC; when I did it on phone there were parts where you have to hit them at the same time that wouldn't be very practical on the PC.

Then again, you could say the same thing about the archery one being much easier on PC.

It uses wasd and ijkl and you sometimes have to hit things simultaneously with both hands.

Is there a way to ensure your teapot decorations are lined up with each other? I had a hard time positioning things exactly where I wanted them while doing it on my phone. I imagine doing it on PC will be easier, but it'd be nice to have the option of seeing a grid layout just for the purposes of lining things. I think other games with things like this often have that option.

I don't know about mobile, but the PC settings lets you see and snap to a grid.

The character event banner says the 5-star has to be a character. I hope that means if I get a 5-star spear, the pity timer for a 5-star character persists until I get a 5-star character?

You cannot get a 5* weapon on the character banner, so it is not an issue.

You are back to 50/50 now. Your guarantee got used on Eula.

lol I just noticed they removed the flyer or whatever that was next to the crafting table in Inazuma. When I first saw it, I thought "did they learn NOTHING from Timaeus?" Now if they can just move him as well...

I've had Sucrose there for ages instead; Albedo can stay in Dragonspine waiting for me to do his quest forever.

And also what is a 4* "rate up" character?

On the character banner, there is one "rate up" 5* and three "rate up" 4*s. You are much more likely to get those characters. The odds are in the wish details if you want specific numbers.

I don't even know how they work. I should probably look it up because I still need that split island one.

Hitting one changes that one and any adjacent ones. For the split island, it changes the one next to it and the one across from it on the other island.

So I was wondering whether anyone has any clues as to what exactly this might be or whether any of you found anything. I've been searching to the west of this spot, figuring that it might be a longer underground tunnel, but so far haven't really found anything.
It doesn't really show up on the official map that has all the chests, so it's probably just in development or some leftovers from an unfinished area.

It does seem like an unused or future area.

Apparently it is possible to squeeze through that hole you found, but an easier way is to log out right above the grate switch. When you log back in, it should let you activate the switch and you can get in and wander around. That's how I got in.

The Traveler tried not to get involved in Inazuma. If the Raiden Shogun had met us in Ritou, had a nice chat about how they're not the unknown god and that she doesn't know anything about our sibling, we would have been on the next ship to Sumaru.

Thoma's fire is elemental burst, not skill. ToM actually has really bad uptime, which is a shame, and also, a personal attack directed at me specifically.

That's too bad! I saw that the shield portion of the burst counted as his skill, but misread the rest.

C6 bennett is about the same or a slight improvement for most teams.
He only really screws with physical damage builds, of which Eula is the only meta one.
Plus "melt carry" bennett (which uses chongyun-infused bennett normals to set up the melts) but if you want to use benny as a gimmicky main DPS thundering fury is funnier anyways.

That brings up a weird point: Whose infusion wins between Chongyun and C6 Bennet?

apparently yae's CA can be cancelled, like klee's, after a certain point in the animation and it will still fire

it can also hit multiple times against large enemies and extended hitboxes

this is almost certainly unintended, seeing as nothing about yae's kit suggests using her charge attacks, but here we are, possible 500%+ scaling CAs against large enemies lmao

Ning's hangout is surprisingly decent. It adds some depth to her character especially with the ending where she casually implies she sacrificed the jade chamber as a business move calculated to be in her own interest instead of you know, to save the city and the people because it's the right thing to do. "I saved the city to profit from it's people" is a pretty ghastly stance and you are given the option to tell her that nicely, not so nicely, or play it off as no big deal.

She implies that, but she's lying. She did do it because it was the right thing to do, but is pretending otherwise to keep up appearances.

Regarding the Enkanomiya boss, I think my least favorite mechanic is "attacks that drain energy." It's annoying when I switch to Itto and then a thing hits him and drains his energy before he can transform.

Try Alt+Itto's party number to auto burst on character switch? That might help.

If you lose the 50/50, your next 5* will be the banner 5*. This carries over to future character banners as well.

For example, say you lose to Qiqi on the Yae banner. If you keep wishing, your next 5* will be Yae. If you hold off until the next Childe rerun and wish on that banner instead, you'd be guaranteed to get him as your 5*.

How does weapon banner pity work? Am I correct in my understanding that there's only two 5* weapons possible so it's a 50/50 at 80 pity and you have to lose twice in order to get the guaranteed epitomized path thing. Surely some banner will have 2 worthwhile 5* weapons so I can wish on one without breaking the bank.

Not quite. It is a 75% chance to get one of the two weapons on the banner. If you lose that pity, your next 5* is a 50/50 between the two featured weapons. But yes. If you get two 5* weapons that aren't your epitomized path 5*, your next one is guaranteed, so worst case is 240 wishes to get what you want.

I liked using Yae as counter-battery fire against archers and mages while I handled things elsewhere. Doesn't really work anymore.
If they were going to make a change, at least prioritizing the furthest enemy wouldn't have invalidated her C2.
