I mean, I get it. Even I'm too lazy to switch Kokomi from her Sac Frags EM clam set when playing non-Nilou teams. But it's a good thing to know! Maybe.

Yeah this and the 3.1 one were probably the weakest of the whole cycle I would say. For once I agree they kind of winged an event story and its a completely throwaway story

Every Abyss reset, I get my 27*s, make one token attempt at 12-1, curse a lot, then go back to doing things that are actually enjoyable.

This is the correct way to abyss. Take one shot, get what gems are available, bail. The time cost of getting the last 50-100 gems is not worth it in the slightest.

If I'm wrong about how Keqing works then fair enough. I just want everyone with bursts or skills like that to work like Diluc and Noelle do. For the longest time, I had no idea that Noelle's burst hung around the whole time.

I cannot believe that it's six months past the card game's launch and I'm having the same experience as week-of-release players -- timegated out of advancing past player level 4 until next week.

I'm running this for abyss except with yelan instead of XQ because he's in my hyperbloom team, is this pattern still the correct rotation? I was using yelan's Q inside bennet's Q, under the impression it would snapshot

Yelan's Q also doesn't use attack in any way. It's all HP scaling.

That too, yeah. That's why Yelan wants HP% sands, and works so well in teams that give her hydro resonance.

Actually wasn't sure if this was the case because of Yelan's shorter duration. Apparently no! You gotta burst, then Benny QE, the Xiangling QE, then Yelan skill (?), then Raiden burst, and Yelan skill again as soon as Raiden burst ends (???). I guess this is how you skill twice per rotation without Yelan C1? Kinda makes sense I guess...

But either way, yeah, Yelan burst doesn't snapshot. Xingqiu burst doesn't either, for future reference.

WAIT they're trying to forward vape Yelan's skill lmao. What a bunch of sickos, I'm gonna beat em up.

Edit: It works lol

And here I thought you wanted to EQ with Raiden as well at the end (you skip half the E animation and it lasts as long as the burst does). Might not be worth it for her personal damage though.

I just unlocked the character story quest for Yoimiya and was immediately hit with quest conflicts. That's what I get for selecting the "hit me with quest conflicts" button knowing full well that it would give me quest conflicts. Which it did.

I'm not sure that Tatara Tales: The Last Act is possible outside of co-op. The device you're protecting has approximately 19 HP, the Fatui make a beeline for it, and if you don't spend time taking the Hydro one out first he'll just keep healing the others until it drops. (Yes, there are characters who can taunt, but the only one of those I own is Amber and, well, Amber.)

New TCG mode popped up that's even more random than usual.

Its a real bastard that one, it was a huge roadblock for me too. I tried over and over, then gave up and went away and did other stuff for a while, levelled up more (possibly levelled up different characters to my main squad) and came back and managed it eventually. Dont remember the details of what I did in the end unfortunately but I know I took out the hydro guy first, I suspect my basic plan was "beeline for him, set him on fire, use Sucroses ult to swirl the fire onto everyone to keep the others busy/aggro them to me instead of the doohicky". Possibly with added electro from either Fischl or Raiden. I'm basing that mainly on the team I think I remember running for most of the back half of Inazuma, other strategies will work too. Problem with trying to give advice in a game like Genshin is of course you'll have different characters available to you than I did.

Tatara tales is infamous for being kinda like a spiral abyss floor dropped into overworld, no shame in leaving it and coming back later. You gotta have grouping and enough dps to burst down the enemies you don't have good shieldbreakers for. It's also one of those places where Kazuha's crowd-control style really shines over the anemo 4 stars, so unless you're good at aiming Sucrose (very janky) or Anemo MC (hmmm) it gets even harder.

Oddly enough, I breezed through that solo with hyperbloom team, tho I was basically endgame level at that point anyway.

I remember my big roadblocks being Chi of Yore, the DPS check to get into Inazuma proper, Delusion Factory/, Inazuma Archon Quest Boss, and the vishap sidequest in Enkanomiya.

Definitely one I'll put off for later, then. My Anemo unit of choice is Jean, and I've never found a way to make Swirl inherently useful.

Same. I might've just left it alone, but it was a blocker for some other quest so powered through in the end. I think Mona made a big difference.

The real "what the gently caress even is this bullshit" moment is that 30s fight in Enkanomiya though. Nothing else so far was even close to how unfun this is.

Please, this is all I have
Since I've started fresh on the PS5 I've been gifted a C3 Chongyun and a Wolf's Gravestone on a free to play account and idk how I'm supposed to feel about this because altho I like his aesthetics and all doesn't he really suck as main DPS? I'm running hyperbloom with Dendro MC/Kirara/Barbara/Lisa anyway

I've also been given a C2 Heizou which is just bizarre because he's not on any banners right now and I got three pulls on him on a F2P but he's entirely useless since I can't go to Inazuma for a while

This account is so cursed. Mostly pulling weapons over characters and when I do they're all constellations for the same two guys

There's the thing you can do with Bennett's burst + Jeans burst. Jean infuses you with Anemo, Bennett pyro, so that triggers swirl constantly on anything near you

I learned a little bit from using Itto's deck in this event. 3 energy characters that don't synchronize elements well is a bad time. Barely won it with Itto at 1 health. If he had decided to attack on the last turn instead of making another turret I would've lost it though.
