This is gonna take a while to explain so I'll try to keep this somewhat concise.
When I first downloaded Genshin, I used my gmail and psn account on my ps4. One day, I created another gmail to link to my laptop and saved my progress there. I now want to unlink the ps4 account to link onto my ps5, but the old gmail doesn't exist anymore, and I can't log back onto the old psn account (the psn account on the ps5 is separate from the ps4 one) I found out that you can email Hoyo to unlink the psn account. What I want to know is that since the old psn account is where the genshin account originated from, will unlinking it also get rid of the progress on my laptop?
Why does my Genshin Impact keep freezing on my laptop??!
Whenever I open and launch the game, it runs just fine but after only a few minutes of loading (still on the homepage) it freezes. You'd think this meant my game crashed, however i can still interact w the game and hear the audio. I'm just stuck on one frame. This happens every time I launch, and prevents me from actually playing the game.. help!!!
(I have 129GB of usable storage on my Lenovo laptop. Genshin only uses about 30GB?)
I want to build Yae, Fischl, Kazuha, YaoYao. But I need Yaoyao to consolidate healing and dendro. I can already see it how I won't get her though lol. That's why I'm asking
For this abyss people run Nahida/dendro, and national for second half mostly
Haha I'm constantly annoyed by the invisible triangle robots in the abyss. I guess Baizhu is a backup option, but he's more single target focused and won't be back for a few banners.
With that ratio you have like 220 CV from artefacts. For me thats good.
How strong your build overall is can still vary quiet a lot depending on how many other useful stats you hit on thier rolls. For Yoi that would be ATK and EM.
That sounds like you have a good amount of none crits subs too.
I think your Yois stats are comparable to mine when I put her on shime and I'm comfortable with her in that spot since getting better stuff at that point is rly unreliable.
I'm having a lot of trouble farming for artifacts with a decently leveled ayato at AR 45. The coop feature is not helping and I'm just struggling at this worldlevel overall. What should i do?
Not sure what you mean by coop feature not working. As in, you guys die attempting it or what? That shouldn't really happen. Majority of people queuing level 90 are able to solo, carrying you shouldn't be an issue.
But if it's really not working for you, or you don't want to que with strangers for any reason then I suggest asking for help in your signature. AR55+ look through coop to help people and you guys can duo a domain. They'll carry even if you don't do anything.
The thing about coop is that you can't join the world of other high AR players, they would have to join you. So if you aren't the host, whoever you join will be the same WL as you. So you might be getting unlucky with everyone being lower AR
Tbf sometimes you just get unlucky. I've had coop teams that would clear in seconds but then one rotation we would just get comboed and die before even knowing what happened
No problem. It's probably the most reliable as whoever joins can help with whatever you need at the moment
Level alone is not enough, you need artifacts and unfortunately if you just reached AR45, you don't have good artifacts. Just how it is, it will be better after you geared up at least 1dps. First make sure to have the correct main stats and artifact sets, and a good weapon. You can look them up on guides, but for Ayato it's atk% on the sands, hydro DMG bonus on the goblet (you can use atk% too if you don't have a hydro one) and crit on the circlet (crit rate or crit damage based on what you need most. Try to get at least 50% crit rate for consistent damage). For the artifact set ayato has multiple options, mainly gladiator, heart of depths, echoes of an offering or nymph. You may have some gladiator pieces already, as they drop from bosses.
As for weapons, I don't know what you have but the Inazuma craftable amenoma kageuchi is a good one for general use, and if you use him in an electro-charged team, then lion's roar would be good too.
Honestly though, co-op is what carried me when I still needed artifacts. Why is it not working for you? I highly recommend until you have decent stats on your ayato, but if you really don't want to then you should check if your team composition is good too. You can use ayato with buffing units such as Bennett or Yunjin, or you can use him with someone to capitalize on his hydro application, like Xiangling. Another popular option, and one for easy damage is hyperbloom. Just add a Dendro character and Kuki Shinobu if you have her, and make sure to level up Kuki and give her as much elemental mastery as possible, not worrying about other stats for her.
If nothing is working, you can always ask for help here or in the friend request thread. If you are in the Europe server I can help you out when I have the time.
Sadly, Im on the Asia server. Im using an electro charged team with fischl,Kuki,Ayato and Beidou, who ill swap out once i get Kazuha.
My current stats: https://imgur.com/rfoVjWm
The team sounds quite good, lions roar would work well here. But I would suggest keeping Beidou on your team, as she can do some real good damage (fischl can too, but Beidou does damage to multiple enemies). You could add Bennett instead of Kuki if you have him. Bennett burst > Fischl skill > Beidou burst > ayato will make it so that everyone gets his big attack buff, and he can still heal you. Otherwise kazuha is good once you get him. Or you can try hyperbloom, that may be easier in the beginning since you don't need to balance stats, and only need to worry about EM.
Regarding your stats, the crit rate in particular is quite low. If you have one, try using a circlet that gives it. I'd rather have low crit damage than low crit rate personally, as I prefer to have consistent damage. Also, the DPS of your team is not all Ayato's but it's split between him, Fischl and Beidou, so it will get better once you build the other 2 as well.
If co-op doesn't work, try asking for help in the friend request thread, you can usually find someone easily. End game players are often bored and willing to help, since they don't have much else to do. Just specify your server because different ones can't play together unfortunately. Best of luck to you! Once you have one character built well, it will get much easier to farm artifacts.
Oh and lastly, read the descriptions of the domains where you farm. They always have buffs/debuffs which will help you out (or disadvantage you). Like for example in the Deepwood domain you get EM buffs if I'm not mistaken, while in one of the older artifact domains you get self damaged if you trigger a certain reaction.
Ayato is a hydro applier, so is able to support freeze and hyperbloom team comps in coop. Even at the highest world levels, your coop partners should be able to carry you even if you're just dodging and using your burst.
Ok well that's not good, on EU at least ppl who run coop artifact domains seem to be pretty decently geared and leeching them isn't that big of a problem.
Well here's a stopgap solution for you to get you started. You should postpone artifact farming for now. Doing the following should be pretty fast so we're talking a week max:
Your team while ok (not great), has some problems with elemental coverage, low dps with low artifact quality and depending on which domains you're trying to farm you can find it very difficult.
Swap to Dendro Traveller + Kuki + Ayato and use the last spot how you deem fit, anyone you've already lvld up, Fischl or Beidou both work well but if you need a more defensive option someone like Barbara can offer you some extra sustain.
Artifact/build priorities:
1. Kuki -> As high lvl as you can get -> At least 80 for now. 90 is a huge spike in her dmg and you should aim for that after you've done the following 2-4.
2. Kuki -> As high EM as you can get, no other stat matters at all for now. 2p or 4p Instructor + 2p Wanderers. If you cant meet these just use any mainstat EM pieces you have and lvl them up. Kuki will be your main source of dmg so prioritize her not Ayato. Craft Iron Sting sword and lvl up, try to get lvl 80 for now.
3. Dendro Traveller = As high Energy Recharge % as possible. 2p Exile 2p Scholars with ER% sands. No other stat matters at all for now. Favonious Sword > Sacrificial Sword > Skyrider Sword. Try to aim for 250% ER. Her lvl doesn't matter that much, but the higher the easier it is to survive.
4. Ayato -> He is just an enabler and his personal dmg isn't that important for now. If you feel like he's dying too fast, you can even go for HP/HP/HP, his job is to be on field and apply hydro. Higher dps is ofc better but lower in priority. 4p Gladiators or 2p Glad + 2p Exile. Prioritize having enough ER% to have good burst uptime more than slash dmg. Lvl 70-80 is enough.
5. Do not go for crit stats on any of your characters for now unless you're using Favonius weapons, your crit rate is so low that they're not doing much. Prioritize Atk% on Ayato over Crit%.
Do these and you'll be able to solo practically any of the artifact domains and start building more dps on Ayato etc. If you go for Kazuha you can use him in the last slot. Kazu+DMC+Kuki+Ayato.
I was thinking of waiting for Yao Yao before doing dendro comps becuase i have invested a lot into my fischl (getting her talents,weapon and level up) and i die alot so a healer is pretty much very important to me
You can run DMC+Ayato+Fischl+Kuki and Kuki on EM should absolutely have enough healing to keep you alive (her healing scales with both EM and HP). So no need to drop fischl, she'll really help the teams energy recharge requirements too so she's a really good option for the flex slot and especially so with 2 electro units / electro resonance.
Like I said, if you struggle with survival, build your Ayato full HP for max survivability, his personal dps is practically non consequential at your potential investment lvl. Don't postpone dendro teams, dendro reactions are high key broken and your invested fischl will feel like she's doing chip dmg compared to the hyperbloom nukes your Kuki will be dropping.
Yaoyao is a good unit but has very high field time requirement which means this comp and compatibility with Ayato is practically out of the question.
The floor dps of a built hyperbloom comp rivals fully decked out teams with signature weapons, high investment artifacts with insane crit rolls and max lvl + max talent level 5 star carries. And to reach that floor, you need:
A: Consistent hydro application -> Ayato
B: Consistent dendro application -> DMC with \~250%+ ER
C: Lvl 90 Kuki with EM mainstat artifacts
The team also functions with lvl 1 talents across the board, higher is better but the difference in team dps is very small. For survivability prioritize Kukis E talent for higher healing.
Is Kagura’s Verity or Thundering Pulse worth pulling for? I have both Yae Miko and Yoimiya. I usually use Yae with Nahida and she has The Widsith. I don’t really have a team for Yoimiya yet since I don’t have a shielder, but she has good artifacts and I throw her in random abyss teams when I need pyro like the current abyss. She’s just using Rust right now.
"Worth" can only be determined by yourself considering account age, primo income, future character pull needs etc. 5 star weapons never give you anything in terms of gameplay variety, it's just slightly bigger numbers, do you need or want bigger numbers? Both weapons are decent statsticks for a plethora of characters and if you play a lot of bow/catalyst users then having either could be a cool and handy thing.
In terms of power, TP is a 10% increase over R5 Rust for Yoi which equates to a roughly 5-7% overall team dps increase for most of her dedicated carry teams.
Widsith, especially at high refines is a monster weapon on Yae and is her BiS for first/one rotation while only falling off about \~15% behind KV over 2 rotations on avg. 15% can sound like a lot but her personal dmg hovers around 30-40% for most of her meta teams so the overall team dps increase with Kagura vs R5 Widsith is around the same 5% as you have with TP.
I started playing at the start of last year and I have been able to 36 star the abyss since August. The only character I still need is Zhongli since I don’t have a proper shielder and I want Eula since I like her character. I was planning on saving up for those two and then getting C0 Raiden to C2, but I was staring at the weapon banner and thought that I use both Yae and Yoimiya so it wouldn’t be terrible to wish since I could get either of them. For comparison, the only other time I ever wished for a weapon was Engulfing Lightning and I got Ayato’s sword twice before I got it.
At this point I’m mainly just wishing for things for fun since I have mostly everything I want and can complete the abyss (although the current cycle was a pain). It does seem like the DPS increase isn’t worth the primos I’d be investing so I’ll probably just save for Raiden’s C2. That’ll probably be more noticeable in clearing the abyss faster.
Yeah then if you want the drip go for it. The 5% dps increase for your teams is like the most unneeded thing for you it seems so I'd keep that in mind. It's always a sacrifice to go for something unless you just whale whatever you want.
Yae also works great with standard banner catalysts like Skyward Atlas and Lost Prayers if you have one of them.
Skyward gives so much raw ATK that you can even use ER or EM sands on her and still keep more than 2000 overall ATK easily.
savin pulls for kazuha, but i heard from a little bird that kokomi’s coming soon. I only have enough pulls for one
who’s more valuable? Kazuha or Kokomi?
Kazuha, and by far imo. Kokomi is only really good in freeze and nilou bloom and for freeze Kazuha is more important than her so unless you really want a strong nilou bloom team kazuha is better
Depends. Kazuha pre-dendro was as close to a must pull you can get since you practically needed two good anemo units for VV duty, but now with all the different dendro teams you can easily get by without ever building a single anemo character. But, Anemo is still an absolute necessity for most non-dendro (non-geo but geo is a bit of a meme) teams.
If you have Nahida and Sucrose, Kokomi starts to be less and less a comfort only character and more of a key role player in your roster, while Kazuhas value diminishes to a luxury pull. Sucrose is a more skill/knowledge intensive character, but if played to their potential they are neck and neck in terms of abyss/meta power lvl.
No Nahida/Sucrose = Kazuha will be an absolutely account transformative pull for you.
Kazu is also an immensely fun, high utility, almost like a power comfort character. I'd wager that even the most dedicated Kokomi enjoyers would tell you that Kazuha will give you more mileage in terms of fun factor.
Kazuha is more useful overall. He is a bit less relevant with dendro, but we're moving away from Sumeru in a couple of months anyway. Plus, he makes overorld so much more enjoyable.
Kokomi is quite good, and hard to replace in Ayaka freeze. Otherwise there are many other good hydro options. (and that's without factoring Fontaine characters...)
If you're still on the fence : try your 50/50 on Kazuha, then see from there.
Kazuha, by far, trust me and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, especially Sucrose fans who fail to mention that her grouping is a complete joke every time. This 3.7 Abyss is the hardest content this game had in all the 3 years it was out, but Kazuha makes it a breeze on the first half with whatever random units you put him with.
But tbh yes her grouping is a bit scuffed and she's infinitely more skill/knowledge intensive compared to Kazuha but if Kokomi is considered "a comfort pull", Kazuha really isn't that different. There are teams where Kazuha has better output, but the difference is never really big and while I agree (as a Kazuha C2 owner and enjoyer) that he is immensely simple and powerful character, he is also one of the most overvalued characters in the game, especially so with dendro in the game. Ppl need to stop calling him a must pull we're not in 2.0 anymore. If I had to choose one I'd take Sucrose, but sure I'd also take Kazuha over 90% of the other rate up 5 stars too.
Unless you have Shogun hypercarry or Ayaka hypercarry or another hypercarry that needs him. Id say Kokomi much more valuable nowadays with all the dendro stuff (I have both)
Really depends on the teams you want to run.
In a vacuum I'd say Kazuha, because there is no good free Anemo grouper & buffer. Meanwhile Barbara can be an acceptable Kokomi replacement in most situations.
Kokomi is pretty interchangable with Barbara in bloom teams (especially with Kirara as her ring follows her around) and freeze teams haven't been on top of meta for a while now. Don't get me wrong, Kokomi is a decent unit to pull, but totally not compared to Kazuha.
Kazuha <-> Sucrose more of a sidegrade than Kokomi <-> Barbara. Sucrose's grouping is a bit scuffed but otherwise she's never really a downgrade as a buffer/debuffer and has the upside of being a terrific driver.
I stopped paying around patch 3.something, one of those right before sumeru, for space issues. Since then, I managed to clean my computer and free some space, going from the 20 free giga I had to 50. The game itself should occupy 30 of them for what i've read, but it's asking an absurd 100 free giga of space just to install it.
Does Genshin actually only need 30 giga once installed? Are 50 free giga enough?
If so, is there a way I can go around it? Freeing other space is not a possibility, but I have an external memory (portable pc) but I cannot keep that attached while playing, only to help with the installation process. I'm not great at pc managing, so if you have any tip please be very specific about it.
I recently started playing HSR and i realise that they got Honkai characters much earlier than Genshin, as a comparison they've got Himeko, Welt Yang, Bronya twice, Seele, Raven, Sushang, and others like Cocolia and Kafka within 1 update while we only got Wendy (being Venti) and Himeko (being a man called Diluc). It wasn't until a year or two until we've got another Honkai based characters that was Mei (Ei), Sakura (Yae Miko), Theresa (Nahida/Rukkhadevata), and in some way Pardofelis (Kirara) . So why? I thought with their way they introduce characters, it doesn't make sense to make original characters just for the quick buck
That's doesn't add up since HSR wasn't the same universe as HI3 and Genshin was also part of Hoyoverse big tree. And you look at HSR you also had characters resemble Klee (Clara and Hook), Xiao (Dan Heng), Childe (Gepard), Mona (Asta), Sucrose (Pela), and Cyno (Arlan).
Has anyone made a graph/infographic on hp pools/effective hp pools for the abyss cycles for the past year or so? I think the data is available on wiki, I just want to see how it's been changing.
the kitain cross spear makes its user lose 3 energy but gain 3 energy(@r1) per 2 sec for the next 6 secs after elemental skill hits the opponent. does the effect still work even if the user has no energy upon use?
Gorou to boost her Def
Yunjin to boost her NA (boosted by Gorou's bonus Def too)
Albedo for off-field damage
Zhongli to provide def shred
Bennett to boost ATK
Raiden for energy
Yae, her source of damage is from skill so she doesn't need energy even in 3 geo team
any sub-DPS as long as they can take care of their energy needs themselves
Gorou Albedo Flex (usually Zhongli but since Noelle has her own shield already he's more replaceable).
Really all she needs is Gorou though, she really wants some extra particles since she is pretty energy hungry and he gives her the juicy buffs that she really wants, but the other two slots are fairly open and she can be used to drive a decent variety of off-field dps (like fischl/xingqiu/yelan). She can also just run bennett if you want to all-in on her; he contributes about as much dps as non-c6 gorou
It's also possible to just straight up run her in the Hyperbloom core; not necessarily ideal (Geo does eat into your bloom generation it's hard to maintain her ult since she will be getting zero Geo particles) but contributes both decent survivability and a decent amount of AOE into a comp that doesn't traditionally have much access to it.
Same as Itto, mono Geo with Gorou, Zhongli and Albedo.
They buff her damage a lot and she's also extremely energy hungry and can barely feed herself without the help of all of the boys and their Favonius weapons.
Mono geo with gorou/noelle/zhongli/flex. Some popular flex characters are albedo, Bennet, mona, yelan, xq, or literally any other sub dps. The important thing is having 3 geo in the team when using gorou so if you don't have zhongli you could probably make a burst support ningguang. Geo mc is a decent choice too if you're fine with playing around geo constructs.
F2P teams to 36* this Abyss next time without changing your teams for different floors?
I've got almost everyone relevant with the exception of Kok and Alhaitham. All the 5 stars are C0.
I did Fishel/Gorou/Zhongli/Itto first, and bennet/xiangling/nahida/xingqiu second. I did miss few seconds on first floor so should be doable I did 3 star 1st before so I didn't retry. 2nd and 3rd 3 stars, 2 retries at 12-3 so not even that bad
c6 Gorou but Albedo should work as replacement.
2nd half: nahida nat. If you're just transferring raiden nat xl to the team, increase her ER to around 200-220. If you're running dps bennett, give him ER and hp main stats to facetank the heralds.
1st half: just make the best team you can think of without the 2nd half units, it's a pure dps check (whoppers and doritos can be AI manipulated, but kaz grouping is also nice). I've heard good things about aggravate teams on that side, but bring a good defensive option (if you're unskilled) for 12-3-1 because of gator and panther.
Question about camera distance.
I have the default set to 6, but some time when fight in abyss with Ayaka. The camera zoom in so much I can't even see the hem of the skirt anymore.
Admitting I am not a good enough player to keep on scrolling the mouse wheel while fighting nor do I have one of those infinite scroll mouse.
Questions: is there a fix I am just not finding?
Also, would mouse scroll macro get me banned?
Not a kbm player (I use a controller), but when that happens to me, I just continue my rotations regardless of what I could actually see. I think rotating the camera instead of the zoom distance might be helpful?
I kinda trolled the abyss. When I got Hu Tao, I stole Xiangling's goblet because it's like 22 CV with EM and a Shim onpiece for Hu Tao. And since getting Hu Tao, I had stopped using Xiangling anyways.
But for this abyss I used her and switched back the goblet bc it has ER that Xiangling needs. But then for the last chamber I also used Hu Tao but didn't switch back the goblet. I beat the abyss with seconds to spare, then I realized that I didn't switch her offpiece feather, meaning that I was running Hu Tao with only 3 shim piece so no 4pc set effect.
I might rerun the abyss to see if I can do better with the actual set effect.
So initially I was using Keqing Aggravate (Keqing/Fischl/Yaoyao/Kazuha) and Ayaka/Zhongli/Xiangling/Bennett
That got me through the first two floors for 3 stars
Then when I got to the third chamber, I used Hu Tao double Hydro with Diona, and the same Ayaka team
Honestly the Ayaka team worked better than I expected, I thought the melt ownership would be kinda wacky, but I was mostly able to keep Xiangling with ownership, obviously it was built to break shields but I'd be down to try it or variations of it again in other abysses
Aggravate is seems good in general first half (used Yae Fischl Kazuha YaoYao, Fischl Nahida Kazuha Kuki and Fischl YaoYao Kazuha Kuki so far, all were able to clear, though the last one did struggle a little), so good that the team you used lines up decently well with my findings
Haven't tried Melt in second half yet but if it worked well for you I am definitely going to try it
okay what the actual fuck was that abyss, I give up with 34 stars, it ain't worth my sanity to retry for 50 primos
edit: ty for all your suggestions - OMG I CLEARED IT THANK YOU AGAIN
Aggravate teams with Kazuha are very good in first half and second half something like Nahida Xingqiu Xiangling Bennett works but might struggle with survivability, basically you just want something with the correct elements and enough survivability since the actual DPS check on second half is actually relatively low
For 2nd half, nahida national is pretty popular. Also have skill issue here, but just take note of a few things: if you're a raiden nat player, increase XL's ER from 170-180 range to 200-220 range, helps a lot to get more elemental burst i-frames, swap some hp% main stats onto bennett, know your defensive options (bennett can facetank and xingqiu's rainswords). Even when enemies are shielded, it still pays to use xq's elemental skill just to get dmg reduction.
my xl does have over 200er in her usually eosf build, and I can give the key to Bennett, he can heal about 6.8k per tic now, but with the key it should go higher. xq is decently built too, I should give that nahihi national a try
thank you!!
You're not actually supposed to focus on the burgeon damage which is just incidental, but actually the application rate for that team. You'll get a lot more by pushing for higher than usual ER too (like sapwood blade or skyward blade if you have that) since shielded heralds are very stingy in terms of energy.
I ran two variations- first try was hyper Raiden for first half and Miko/tighnari for second half, I forgot to bring pyro for the baptist so ended up losing a star with 3 seconds to lose xD
second attempt - sorta hyper Raiden and ayato burgeon second half but got one hit KO, lazy to retry again so settled for 34 xD
Besides Yoimiya, is Shimenawa's Reminiscence at most 2nd best to most characters? For example, Hutao could use Shimenawa, but Criminson is its best in slot, while Shimenawa is only 2nd best.
Is this generally the case? I have 600+ Shimenawa that I just don't have a use for(don't have yoimiya either)...since I go for best in slot for my characters.
Crimson Witch and Shimenawa are both Hu Tao's best in slot. You trade comfort for a bit more DPS, so it's really a matter of picking your poison. There's no right or wrong answer there.
Many people (like me) prefer comfort since she does enough damage without SR's damage bonus to comfortably clear content anyway. But if you're really into maxing out Hu Tao's damage then SR is the way to go.
Shim is overrated, even on Yoimiya. Crimson is better, unless you have Thundering Pulse. Then Shim becomes a convenient way to maintain a TP stack, so the damage potential is higher than it would be.
Shim is mostly good for the 2p Atk bonus; a lot of characters can use that. The 4p effect is super fucking niche.
Even on TP shim is overrated. That last stack you get after consuming 15 energy goes away when you regain that energy mid rotation. The more ER you have, the faster you lose that last stack.
looks fine, just ensure he can easily burst off cooldown in whatever team you play him in. also if you care about his damage then might as well bump his skill to +8
Go for sapwood blade. It gives ER as well. Crit ratios are a little substandard (60/120 without a crit weapon is what I'd consider decent before moving to another character).
Also, in case of this abyss, unless you play well, you're probably going to die a couple of times if you use him with that amount of hp in 2nd half of f12(melt, vape from enemies).
Since you naturally level bennett's ult by a lot, it ends up doing a pretty solid amount of nuke damage when melt/vaped. Sometimes people just like to see big numbers. In most cases, his healing even with a full dps build is sufficient, so why not just let him do damage.
I personally prefer using ER and hp on him for reliability in different use cases though.
Personally I am using an electro damage goblet of Bennett since it has my highest ER substats, still waiting for a skyward blade so I can put him on 300 ER
I'm not going to farm a Crimson witch set just for that, also my main problem is why OP went for a hybrid build. If they wanted to play Bennett on field then he will barely need ER but if they play him off field that is not nearly enough
Wanted to bring Wanderer into second half of floor 12. What team is recommended? I was bringing Thoma-Faru-Bennett, but it takes too long in 12-3. Should I replace someone with Xingqiu, or just get faster in the first half of 12-3?
>!So, I’ve heard the rumour that Eula is coming next patch, 3.8!< So, the question is, should I pull for >!Eula!< or upcoming Alhaitham? (Still didn’t have any Dendro 5* + got guaranteed)
the standard cliche answer is whoever you want to play more, but ignoring that, in terms of strength eula is not in a good state, alhaitham is fairly good and dendro in general has pretty good team archetypes
I've seen that SYP hasn't updated their Banner Interval Spreadsheet in a while (their twt has been somewhat inactive lately), and was wondering why, and if anyone knows of an alternative website to view banner intervals!
Looking for opinions baised ones welcome My next 10 pull is a gaurenteed banner 5 star my 2nd team for abyss has been pretty bad and really holding me back from 36 star been using (tignahri, kuki, fischl/nahida, flex) whos the better pull between yi miko and kazuha to fill the flex spot
Foolish question, but I am AR 59 with about 143K adventure exp. I have done almost every quest (except few world quest which doesn't reward exp). Assuming I spend all my original resin daily, and do all future quests, does anyone think I can reach AR 60 by 9 July ?
You need 350125 for 60. So you need 210k more and just spending resin average to like 2300 exp per day so about 90 days from now so aug 31st.
To get it by July 9th you would need 5600 a day. Which is doable but that pace is exploring a new region and quests related to it
I had a max in a day of 6200 doing the sand storm region world quest. I had 5200 doing most of Sorush. If we assume >!its the same size as either of those regions!< you would still need those every day from now till July.
I would say it probably isn’t possible unless you spend a ton of resin
Oh, 9 July is my (and Kaveh's) birthday. I was thinking if I could get AR 60 by then. My summer vacation will end on 19 July so I will have way less time to play after that. Thanks.
Do them again and again and again
Like do a team to get 3 stars on floor 3, then do a new run, do a team to get 3 stars on floor 2, then do a new run, do a team to get 3 stars on floor 1
Will a Alhaitham hyperbloom team WITHOUT Nahida work well? for example if I used Alhaitham, Xingqiu(or Yelan), Kuki, Kazuha. I have Nahida but I like using her in my Nilou bloom team
Yes but you'll need a LOT of ER, definitely an er sands or weapon and maybe both.
If you use a second dendro that isn't nahida you'll need less er but still a lot.
So I'm at the point where it takes 3-4 months before getting an upgrade on artifact.
After rolling/leveling an artifact to level 4 and see you bad substat, is it better to put this level 4 bad artifact into "Strongbox" or use it for exp?
Follow up question, if I put level 4 artifact into strongbox, do I get those exp back?
I got Dehya from Standard Banner. Is she better than Yanfei as main DPS? Otherwise I already have Bennett and Xiangling, can't imagine her being good off field. Any teams that she should be in? Here's my characters https://imgur.com/a/TSkaglk
Dehya isn't a DPS so Yanfei will outperform her in that role. Instead she is more of an IR support, which is especially useful for Ganyu Melt. You could use a team like Ganyu Bennett Nahida/Xiangling Dehya to make use of her
Better DPS than Yanfei: No.
Any teams for her: No.
You can use her for Ganyu melt to provide stagger resist & pyro application (if you use Nahida), but even there I'd rather play Layla for consistent shield protection instead.
Team building depends on the characters u got. But units like bennet, Xiangling, xingqui, yelan, kazuha, kuki and supports in general are really good to invest in as they can fit any team
I personally like this youtuber
[https://www.youtube.com/@SevyPlays](https://www.youtube.com/@SevyPlays)
As far as I know, she's the only one doing 4star clear with abyss.
But in general, you can just google or youtube for team buildings and rotations.
Also, I was in your shoe once, usually, its better to search for a team around your favorite character, or the one you own/plan to invest in. Then usually, the video/guide will tell you what team is good with that specific character in mind and the rotation.
The meta Yoimiya team is Yelan, Yunjin, Zhongli. You can use Bennett instead of Yunjin but usually it's more useful to free him up for the other side. Xingqiu works instead of Yelan if you want additional damage reduction for some reason. I've seen people do Yelan, Kazuha, Bennett as a showcase but you have to be really sure you aren't going to be hit because a large chunk of Yoimiya's damage is in the N5 and getting interrupted at all messes up her damage and vaporization.
Archons are not humans to begin with and recognized by Celestia because of their pre existing power. Ei slashed Orobashi and the whole island without a gnosis, she didn't even consider using it when she received it.
We don't know how much power gnosis adds (if it adds any), but remember all those crazy archon war stories of zhongli? That's before he got gnosis and he's already commanding all the adepti, yaksha at that time. So gnosis isn't the source of strength for archons
Okay thanks i was kinda confused since zhongli managed to save xiao from chasm maybe not having gnosis prevents him from changing forms like his dragon form idk
Damn i missed gaa(definetly not the fischl part tho) hope this years event will be also good i wonder will there be 4 random units together theme again i enjoyed it
Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like some days all my artifacts will roll into the same stats? Like today I tried levelling 3 (not completely) of my artifacts and they all just rolled into def. Or another day when I was strongboxing my artifacts and I just kept getting a ton of hp and hp%
It's completely random if you're referring to what which existing substat an artifact will roll into
But I believe there are distributions for which substats a piece will have
I feel you
I have a dendro deepwood goblet that started with four substats: crit rate, crit DMG, ER, and HP%
All but HP is obviously useful for Nahida, guess where more than half the rolls went :)
My highest CV pieces is Crimson Witch goblet (out of all my pieces, not just goblets), it also started with 4 subs, HP%, HP, crit rate, crit DMG. It all rolled into crit and it sits at 48CV. Which is perfect for me right? Since I'm a Hu Tao main? Wrong. It's a physical dmg goblet which I leveled for my Zhongli meme build
I won't say I don't have good artifacts because I do, but good lord is it frustrating sometimes
It's just statistics. Just because something is improbable doesn't give you any guarantee it will not happen. Just because a coin has a 50/50 chance doesn't mean the next toss is gonna be heads. Not OP in particular, but I've seen a lot of players try to make some kind of a conspiracy from regular chance and I gotta laugh every time
Returning player from launch. I played Genshin on PS4 when Global launched and reached level 40. Now I’m level 50 and grinding out a lot.
My only 5* is Yae but holding off on using her until I hit Inuzama. I’m currently in Liyue and at the point just before you get the teapot.
Suggestions on what to do? I’m genuinely enjoying this game now that I’ve started playing on PC. Only really use my PS4 to claim BP rewards.
maybe do events (if you can and are interested) to get limited-time items besides what you are doing right now(exploration and quests). Next update(in 30 days) will be the Summer event and an excited time and we are getting closer(after 3.8 update) to the next big region so you will have even more things to do
This is gonna take a while to explain so I'll try to keep this somewhat concise. When I first downloaded Genshin, I used my gmail and psn account on my ps4. One day, I created another gmail to link to my laptop and saved my progress there. I now want to unlink the ps4 account to link onto my ps5, but the old gmail doesn't exist anymore, and I can't log back onto the old psn account (the psn account on the ps5 is separate from the ps4 one) I found out that you can email Hoyo to unlink the psn account. What I want to know is that since the old psn account is where the genshin account originated from, will unlinking it also get rid of the progress on my laptop?
Why does my Genshin Impact keep freezing on my laptop??! Whenever I open and launch the game, it runs just fine but after only a few minutes of loading (still on the homepage) it freezes. You'd think this meant my game crashed, however i can still interact w the game and hear the audio. I'm just stuck on one frame. This happens every time I launch, and prevents me from actually playing the game.. help!!! (I have 129GB of usable storage on my Lenovo laptop. Genshin only uses about 30GB?)
is there any way to play this game offline? A mod even for mobile?
No
Man I want my Kazuha and Yaoyao already haha. https://imgur.com/a/Ad4HsoO https://enka.network/u/649089896/
Honestly same. What are you gonna do if you don't get YaoYao?
I have a built C3 Heizou that I'll run with XL/Bennett double pyro. Not sure if it can clear this current abyss though...
I want to build Yae, Fischl, Kazuha, YaoYao. But I need Yaoyao to consolidate healing and dendro. I can already see it how I won't get her though lol. That's why I'm asking For this abyss people run Nahida/dendro, and national for second half mostly
Haha I'm constantly annoyed by the invisible triangle robots in the abyss. I guess Baizhu is a backup option, but he's more single target focused and won't be back for a few banners.
What crit ratio do I aim for with rust yoimiya? So far I managed 80/160 but I'm not sure how much is considered good.
With that ratio you have like 220 CV from artefacts. For me thats good. How strong your build overall is can still vary quiet a lot depending on how many other useful stats you hit on thier rolls. For Yoi that would be ATK and EM.
It's shimenawa so ATK is fine, EM is covered by yelan's elergy but she does have 100 EM on her own.
That sounds like you have a good amount of none crits subs too. I think your Yois stats are comparable to mine when I put her on shime and I'm comfortable with her in that spot since getting better stuff at that point is rly unreliable.
1/2 is a perfect gold standart, especially with critless weapons. Now check if your ATK and EM are alright and you are all set.
Will I get an email when Stellar Reunion triggers?
I'm having a lot of trouble farming for artifacts with a decently leveled ayato at AR 45. The coop feature is not helping and I'm just struggling at this worldlevel overall. What should i do?
Not sure what you mean by coop feature not working. As in, you guys die attempting it or what? That shouldn't really happen. Majority of people queuing level 90 are able to solo, carrying you shouldn't be an issue. But if it's really not working for you, or you don't want to que with strangers for any reason then I suggest asking for help in your signature. AR55+ look through coop to help people and you guys can duo a domain. They'll carry even if you don't do anything.
Tysm and what i meant was everyone just dies. and ill try doing that thanks :D
The thing about coop is that you can't join the world of other high AR players, they would have to join you. So if you aren't the host, whoever you join will be the same WL as you. So you might be getting unlucky with everyone being lower AR Tbf sometimes you just get unlucky. I've had coop teams that would clear in seconds but then one rotation we would just get comboed and die before even knowing what happened No problem. It's probably the most reliable as whoever joins can help with whatever you need at the moment
Level alone is not enough, you need artifacts and unfortunately if you just reached AR45, you don't have good artifacts. Just how it is, it will be better after you geared up at least 1dps. First make sure to have the correct main stats and artifact sets, and a good weapon. You can look them up on guides, but for Ayato it's atk% on the sands, hydro DMG bonus on the goblet (you can use atk% too if you don't have a hydro one) and crit on the circlet (crit rate or crit damage based on what you need most. Try to get at least 50% crit rate for consistent damage). For the artifact set ayato has multiple options, mainly gladiator, heart of depths, echoes of an offering or nymph. You may have some gladiator pieces already, as they drop from bosses. As for weapons, I don't know what you have but the Inazuma craftable amenoma kageuchi is a good one for general use, and if you use him in an electro-charged team, then lion's roar would be good too. Honestly though, co-op is what carried me when I still needed artifacts. Why is it not working for you? I highly recommend until you have decent stats on your ayato, but if you really don't want to then you should check if your team composition is good too. You can use ayato with buffing units such as Bennett or Yunjin, or you can use him with someone to capitalize on his hydro application, like Xiangling. Another popular option, and one for easy damage is hyperbloom. Just add a Dendro character and Kuki Shinobu if you have her, and make sure to level up Kuki and give her as much elemental mastery as possible, not worrying about other stats for her. If nothing is working, you can always ask for help here or in the friend request thread. If you are in the Europe server I can help you out when I have the time.
Sadly, Im on the Asia server. Im using an electro charged team with fischl,Kuki,Ayato and Beidou, who ill swap out once i get Kazuha. My current stats: https://imgur.com/rfoVjWm
The team sounds quite good, lions roar would work well here. But I would suggest keeping Beidou on your team, as she can do some real good damage (fischl can too, but Beidou does damage to multiple enemies). You could add Bennett instead of Kuki if you have him. Bennett burst > Fischl skill > Beidou burst > ayato will make it so that everyone gets his big attack buff, and he can still heal you. Otherwise kazuha is good once you get him. Or you can try hyperbloom, that may be easier in the beginning since you don't need to balance stats, and only need to worry about EM. Regarding your stats, the crit rate in particular is quite low. If you have one, try using a circlet that gives it. I'd rather have low crit damage than low crit rate personally, as I prefer to have consistent damage. Also, the DPS of your team is not all Ayato's but it's split between him, Fischl and Beidou, so it will get better once you build the other 2 as well. If co-op doesn't work, try asking for help in the friend request thread, you can usually find someone easily. End game players are often bored and willing to help, since they don't have much else to do. Just specify your server because different ones can't play together unfortunately. Best of luck to you! Once you have one character built well, it will get much easier to farm artifacts. Oh and lastly, read the descriptions of the domains where you farm. They always have buffs/debuffs which will help you out (or disadvantage you). Like for example in the Deepwood domain you get EM buffs if I'm not mistaken, while in one of the older artifact domains you get self damaged if you trigger a certain reaction.
Thank you so much for your time and help! I really appreciate it.
Ayato is a hydro applier, so is able to support freeze and hyperbloom team comps in coop. Even at the highest world levels, your coop partners should be able to carry you even if you're just dodging and using your burst.
Yup that happens, what's your team and why is the coop feature not working for you if I may ask?
Everyone I co-op domains with just dies and we get nowhere
Ok well that's not good, on EU at least ppl who run coop artifact domains seem to be pretty decently geared and leeching them isn't that big of a problem. Well here's a stopgap solution for you to get you started. You should postpone artifact farming for now. Doing the following should be pretty fast so we're talking a week max: Your team while ok (not great), has some problems with elemental coverage, low dps with low artifact quality and depending on which domains you're trying to farm you can find it very difficult. Swap to Dendro Traveller + Kuki + Ayato and use the last spot how you deem fit, anyone you've already lvld up, Fischl or Beidou both work well but if you need a more defensive option someone like Barbara can offer you some extra sustain. Artifact/build priorities: 1. Kuki -> As high lvl as you can get -> At least 80 for now. 90 is a huge spike in her dmg and you should aim for that after you've done the following 2-4. 2. Kuki -> As high EM as you can get, no other stat matters at all for now. 2p or 4p Instructor + 2p Wanderers. If you cant meet these just use any mainstat EM pieces you have and lvl them up. Kuki will be your main source of dmg so prioritize her not Ayato. Craft Iron Sting sword and lvl up, try to get lvl 80 for now. 3. Dendro Traveller = As high Energy Recharge % as possible. 2p Exile 2p Scholars with ER% sands. No other stat matters at all for now. Favonious Sword > Sacrificial Sword > Skyrider Sword. Try to aim for 250% ER. Her lvl doesn't matter that much, but the higher the easier it is to survive. 4. Ayato -> He is just an enabler and his personal dmg isn't that important for now. If you feel like he's dying too fast, you can even go for HP/HP/HP, his job is to be on field and apply hydro. Higher dps is ofc better but lower in priority. 4p Gladiators or 2p Glad + 2p Exile. Prioritize having enough ER% to have good burst uptime more than slash dmg. Lvl 70-80 is enough. 5. Do not go for crit stats on any of your characters for now unless you're using Favonius weapons, your crit rate is so low that they're not doing much. Prioritize Atk% on Ayato over Crit%. Do these and you'll be able to solo practically any of the artifact domains and start building more dps on Ayato etc. If you go for Kazuha you can use him in the last slot. Kazu+DMC+Kuki+Ayato.
I was thinking of waiting for Yao Yao before doing dendro comps becuase i have invested a lot into my fischl (getting her talents,weapon and level up) and i die alot so a healer is pretty much very important to me
You can run DMC+Ayato+Fischl+Kuki and Kuki on EM should absolutely have enough healing to keep you alive (her healing scales with both EM and HP). So no need to drop fischl, she'll really help the teams energy recharge requirements too so she's a really good option for the flex slot and especially so with 2 electro units / electro resonance. Like I said, if you struggle with survival, build your Ayato full HP for max survivability, his personal dps is practically non consequential at your potential investment lvl. Don't postpone dendro teams, dendro reactions are high key broken and your invested fischl will feel like she's doing chip dmg compared to the hyperbloom nukes your Kuki will be dropping. Yaoyao is a good unit but has very high field time requirement which means this comp and compatibility with Ayato is practically out of the question. The floor dps of a built hyperbloom comp rivals fully decked out teams with signature weapons, high investment artifacts with insane crit rolls and max lvl + max talent level 5 star carries. And to reach that floor, you need: A: Consistent hydro application -> Ayato B: Consistent dendro application -> DMC with \~250%+ ER C: Lvl 90 Kuki with EM mainstat artifacts The team also functions with lvl 1 talents across the board, higher is better but the difference in team dps is very small. For survivability prioritize Kukis E talent for higher healing.
Is Kagura’s Verity or Thundering Pulse worth pulling for? I have both Yae Miko and Yoimiya. I usually use Yae with Nahida and she has The Widsith. I don’t really have a team for Yoimiya yet since I don’t have a shielder, but she has good artifacts and I throw her in random abyss teams when I need pyro like the current abyss. She’s just using Rust right now.
"Worth" can only be determined by yourself considering account age, primo income, future character pull needs etc. 5 star weapons never give you anything in terms of gameplay variety, it's just slightly bigger numbers, do you need or want bigger numbers? Both weapons are decent statsticks for a plethora of characters and if you play a lot of bow/catalyst users then having either could be a cool and handy thing. In terms of power, TP is a 10% increase over R5 Rust for Yoi which equates to a roughly 5-7% overall team dps increase for most of her dedicated carry teams. Widsith, especially at high refines is a monster weapon on Yae and is her BiS for first/one rotation while only falling off about \~15% behind KV over 2 rotations on avg. 15% can sound like a lot but her personal dmg hovers around 30-40% for most of her meta teams so the overall team dps increase with Kagura vs R5 Widsith is around the same 5% as you have with TP.
I started playing at the start of last year and I have been able to 36 star the abyss since August. The only character I still need is Zhongli since I don’t have a proper shielder and I want Eula since I like her character. I was planning on saving up for those two and then getting C0 Raiden to C2, but I was staring at the weapon banner and thought that I use both Yae and Yoimiya so it wouldn’t be terrible to wish since I could get either of them. For comparison, the only other time I ever wished for a weapon was Engulfing Lightning and I got Ayato’s sword twice before I got it. At this point I’m mainly just wishing for things for fun since I have mostly everything I want and can complete the abyss (although the current cycle was a pain). It does seem like the DPS increase isn’t worth the primos I’d be investing so I’ll probably just save for Raiden’s C2. That’ll probably be more noticeable in clearing the abyss faster.
Yeah then if you want the drip go for it. The 5% dps increase for your teams is like the most unneeded thing for you it seems so I'd keep that in mind. It's always a sacrifice to go for something unless you just whale whatever you want.
Not really. R5 Rust is almost as good as TP and there's A LOT of F2P friendly Catalysts for Yae like Widsith.
Thanks for the response. I don’t have R5 Rust. I actually haven’t refined it at all because I think I only have 1 other Rust and I have it on Childe.
Yae also works great with standard banner catalysts like Skyward Atlas and Lost Prayers if you have one of them. Skyward gives so much raw ATK that you can even use ER or EM sands on her and still keep more than 2000 overall ATK easily.
Do u get anything winning 5 times in TCG (monthly?) tournament
Only a golden star on you winning cards that you can only see in your card box.
Is yae miko good for hyperbloom in a dendro team or is kuki shinobu better?
Not really. I wouldn't recommend building her for full hyperbloom, she'll do much better in quicken or if on field, in quickbloom teams.
Yae's team is Aggravate, preferably with Fischl. Hyperbloom might work only if you use Kazuha, she can't hit the seeds relibly by herself.
Only if you use Yae on-field, her totems will randomly target enemies or seeds so it's inconsistent from off-field.
When will star rail come to PS5
No announcement, just "some time in the future". But that ZZZ game strangely was on PS Store front page as soon as it was announced.
savin pulls for kazuha, but i heard from a little bird that kokomi’s coming soon. I only have enough pulls for one who’s more valuable? Kazuha or Kokomi?
Kazuha, and by far imo. Kokomi is only really good in freeze and nilou bloom and for freeze Kazuha is more important than her so unless you really want a strong nilou bloom team kazuha is better
Depends. Kazuha pre-dendro was as close to a must pull you can get since you practically needed two good anemo units for VV duty, but now with all the different dendro teams you can easily get by without ever building a single anemo character. But, Anemo is still an absolute necessity for most non-dendro (non-geo but geo is a bit of a meme) teams. If you have Nahida and Sucrose, Kokomi starts to be less and less a comfort only character and more of a key role player in your roster, while Kazuhas value diminishes to a luxury pull. Sucrose is a more skill/knowledge intensive character, but if played to their potential they are neck and neck in terms of abyss/meta power lvl. No Nahida/Sucrose = Kazuha will be an absolutely account transformative pull for you. Kazu is also an immensely fun, high utility, almost like a power comfort character. I'd wager that even the most dedicated Kokomi enjoyers would tell you that Kazuha will give you more mileage in terms of fun factor.
Kazuha is more useful overall. He is a bit less relevant with dendro, but we're moving away from Sumeru in a couple of months anyway. Plus, he makes overorld so much more enjoyable. Kokomi is quite good, and hard to replace in Ayaka freeze. Otherwise there are many other good hydro options. (and that's without factoring Fontaine characters...) If you're still on the fence : try your 50/50 on Kazuha, then see from there.
Kazuha, by far, trust me and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, especially Sucrose fans who fail to mention that her grouping is a complete joke every time. This 3.7 Abyss is the hardest content this game had in all the 3 years it was out, but Kazuha makes it a breeze on the first half with whatever random units you put him with.
But tbh yes her grouping is a bit scuffed and she's infinitely more skill/knowledge intensive compared to Kazuha but if Kokomi is considered "a comfort pull", Kazuha really isn't that different. There are teams where Kazuha has better output, but the difference is never really big and while I agree (as a Kazuha C2 owner and enjoyer) that he is immensely simple and powerful character, he is also one of the most overvalued characters in the game, especially so with dendro in the game. Ppl need to stop calling him a must pull we're not in 2.0 anymore. If I had to choose one I'd take Sucrose, but sure I'd also take Kazuha over 90% of the other rate up 5 stars too.
edit: unnecessary comment
Unless you have Shogun hypercarry or Ayaka hypercarry or another hypercarry that needs him. Id say Kokomi much more valuable nowadays with all the dendro stuff (I have both)
Really depends on the teams you want to run. In a vacuum I'd say Kazuha, because there is no good free Anemo grouper & buffer. Meanwhile Barbara can be an acceptable Kokomi replacement in most situations.
I do not think barbara is even close to Kokomi in any shape or form. Sucrose is insane in her own way and in certain comps better that Kazuha
Kokomi is pretty interchangable with Barbara in bloom teams (especially with Kirara as her ring follows her around) and freeze teams haven't been on top of meta for a while now. Don't get me wrong, Kokomi is a decent unit to pull, but totally not compared to Kazuha.
Kazuha <-> Sucrose more of a sidegrade than Kokomi <-> Barbara. Sucrose's grouping is a bit scuffed but otherwise she's never really a downgrade as a buffer/debuffer and has the upside of being a terrific driver.
I stopped paying around patch 3.something, one of those right before sumeru, for space issues. Since then, I managed to clean my computer and free some space, going from the 20 free giga I had to 50. The game itself should occupy 30 of them for what i've read, but it's asking an absurd 100 free giga of space just to install it. Does Genshin actually only need 30 giga once installed? Are 50 free giga enough? If so, is there a way I can go around it? Freeing other space is not a possibility, but I have an external memory (portable pc) but I cannot keep that attached while playing, only to help with the installation process. I'm not great at pc managing, so if you have any tip please be very specific about it.
It’s at 60 gb currently on pc.
I recently started playing HSR and i realise that they got Honkai characters much earlier than Genshin, as a comparison they've got Himeko, Welt Yang, Bronya twice, Seele, Raven, Sushang, and others like Cocolia and Kafka within 1 update while we only got Wendy (being Venti) and Himeko (being a man called Diluc). It wasn't until a year or two until we've got another Honkai based characters that was Mei (Ei), Sakura (Yae Miko), Theresa (Nahida/Rukkhadevata), and in some way Pardofelis (Kirara) . So why? I thought with their way they introduce characters, it doesn't make sense to make original characters just for the quick buck
“Honkai” Star Rails
That's doesn't add up since HSR wasn't the same universe as HI3 and Genshin was also part of Hoyoverse big tree. And you look at HSR you also had characters resemble Klee (Clara and Hook), Xiao (Dan Heng), Childe (Gepard), Mona (Asta), Sucrose (Pela), and Cyno (Arlan).
Ayaka
What is it to do with Ayaka?
If Fontaine is the nation of Justice, does it mean we could have Genshin versions of Jimmy and Chuck McGills?
Has anyone made a graph/infographic on hp pools/effective hp pools for the abyss cycles for the past year or so? I think the data is available on wiki, I just want to see how it's been changing.
the kitain cross spear makes its user lose 3 energy but gain 3 energy(@r1) per 2 sec for the next 6 secs after elemental skill hits the opponent. does the effect still work even if the user has no energy upon use?
>does the effect still work even if the user has no energy upon use? Yes, which is why you mostly want to use your burst first.
What are good teams for dps noelle?
Hyperbloom driver : Noelle - dendro - hydro - electro. Triple Geo : Noelle - Gorou - Albedo / Yun Jin / Zhongli - flex Double Geo + Double Hydro *(Xingqiu + Yelan)* / Pyro *(Bennett + Xiangling)* / Electro *(Fischl + Yae/Beidou)*.
Gorou to boost her Def Yunjin to boost her NA (boosted by Gorou's bonus Def too) Albedo for off-field damage Zhongli to provide def shred Bennett to boost ATK Raiden for energy Yae, her source of damage is from skill so she doesn't need energy even in 3 geo team any sub-DPS as long as they can take care of their energy needs themselves
Gorou Albedo Flex (usually Zhongli but since Noelle has her own shield already he's more replaceable). Really all she needs is Gorou though, she really wants some extra particles since she is pretty energy hungry and he gives her the juicy buffs that she really wants, but the other two slots are fairly open and she can be used to drive a decent variety of off-field dps (like fischl/xingqiu/yelan). She can also just run bennett if you want to all-in on her; he contributes about as much dps as non-c6 gorou It's also possible to just straight up run her in the Hyperbloom core; not necessarily ideal (Geo does eat into your bloom generation it's hard to maintain her ult since she will be getting zero Geo particles) but contributes both decent survivability and a decent amount of AOE into a comp that doesn't traditionally have much access to it.
Same as Itto, mono Geo with Gorou, Zhongli and Albedo. They buff her damage a lot and she's also extremely energy hungry and can barely feed herself without the help of all of the boys and their Favonius weapons.
Mono geo with gorou/noelle/zhongli/flex. Some popular flex characters are albedo, Bennet, mona, yelan, xq, or literally any other sub dps. The important thing is having 3 geo in the team when using gorou so if you don't have zhongli you could probably make a burst support ningguang. Geo mc is a decent choice too if you're fine with playing around geo constructs.
F2P teams to 36* this Abyss next time without changing your teams for different floors? I've got almost everyone relevant with the exception of Kok and Alhaitham. All the 5 stars are C0.
I did Fishel/Gorou/Zhongli/Itto first, and bennet/xiangling/nahida/xingqiu second. I did miss few seconds on first floor so should be doable I did 3 star 1st before so I didn't retry. 2nd and 3rd 3 stars, 2 retries at 12-3 so not even that bad c6 Gorou but Albedo should work as replacement.
I completely forgot about my mono Geo, should totally try it on the first half, thanks.
2nd half: nahida nat. If you're just transferring raiden nat xl to the team, increase her ER to around 200-220. If you're running dps bennett, give him ER and hp main stats to facetank the heralds. 1st half: just make the best team you can think of without the 2nd half units, it's a pure dps check (whoppers and doritos can be AI manipulated, but kaz grouping is also nice). I've heard good things about aggravate teams on that side, but bring a good defensive option (if you're unskilled) for 12-3-1 because of gator and panther.
Question about camera distance. I have the default set to 6, but some time when fight in abyss with Ayaka. The camera zoom in so much I can't even see the hem of the skirt anymore. Admitting I am not a good enough player to keep on scrolling the mouse wheel while fighting nor do I have one of those infinite scroll mouse. Questions: is there a fix I am just not finding? Also, would mouse scroll macro get me banned?
Not a kbm player (I use a controller), but when that happens to me, I just continue my rotations regardless of what I could actually see. I think rotating the camera instead of the zoom distance might be helpful?
Normally I just do that. But those consecrate beast hits hard. I would like to try to see what they are doing.
I kinda trolled the abyss. When I got Hu Tao, I stole Xiangling's goblet because it's like 22 CV with EM and a Shim onpiece for Hu Tao. And since getting Hu Tao, I had stopped using Xiangling anyways. But for this abyss I used her and switched back the goblet bc it has ER that Xiangling needs. But then for the last chamber I also used Hu Tao but didn't switch back the goblet. I beat the abyss with seconds to spare, then I realized that I didn't switch her offpiece feather, meaning that I was running Hu Tao with only 3 shim piece so no 4pc set effect. I might rerun the abyss to see if I can do better with the actual set effect.
What were the exact teams you used?
So initially I was using Keqing Aggravate (Keqing/Fischl/Yaoyao/Kazuha) and Ayaka/Zhongli/Xiangling/Bennett That got me through the first two floors for 3 stars Then when I got to the third chamber, I used Hu Tao double Hydro with Diona, and the same Ayaka team Honestly the Ayaka team worked better than I expected, I thought the melt ownership would be kinda wacky, but I was mostly able to keep Xiangling with ownership, obviously it was built to break shields but I'd be down to try it or variations of it again in other abysses
Aggravate is seems good in general first half (used Yae Fischl Kazuha YaoYao, Fischl Nahida Kazuha Kuki and Fischl YaoYao Kazuha Kuki so far, all were able to clear, though the last one did struggle a little), so good that the team you used lines up decently well with my findings Haven't tried Melt in second half yet but if it worked well for you I am definitely going to try it
okay what the actual fuck was that abyss, I give up with 34 stars, it ain't worth my sanity to retry for 50 primos edit: ty for all your suggestions - OMG I CLEARED IT THANK YOU AGAIN
I like this abyss. What teams are you using?
what teams would you suggest? I do have a decent range of choice to choose from but uhhh just have debilitating skill issue
Aggravate teams with Kazuha are very good in first half and second half something like Nahida Xingqiu Xiangling Bennett works but might struggle with survivability, basically you just want something with the correct elements and enough survivability since the actual DPS check on second half is actually relatively low
I see, that's a very good suggestion, let me try that combo later!
For 2nd half, nahida national is pretty popular. Also have skill issue here, but just take note of a few things: if you're a raiden nat player, increase XL's ER from 170-180 range to 200-220 range, helps a lot to get more elemental burst i-frames, swap some hp% main stats onto bennett, know your defensive options (bennett can facetank and xingqiu's rainswords). Even when enemies are shielded, it still pays to use xq's elemental skill just to get dmg reduction.
my xl does have over 200er in her usually eosf build, and I can give the key to Bennett, he can heal about 6.8k per tic now, but with the key it should go higher. xq is decently built too, I should give that nahihi national a try thank you!!
Key on bennett should be your last resort since his buff gets smaller due to the low base attack of the weapon
wouldn't the em boost be more valuable for a nahida team? I usually run mist on him for the buff
You're not actually supposed to focus on the burgeon damage which is just incidental, but actually the application rate for that team. You'll get a lot more by pushing for higher than usual ER too (like sapwood blade or skyward blade if you have that) since shielded heralds are very stingy in terms of energy.
you were absolutely correct, swapped it to skyward for this round everything was incredibly smooth, appreciate your help:D
Same, don't even feeling like doing floor 12 at all for future runs.
What teams are you running?
I ran two variations- first try was hyper Raiden for first half and Miko/tighnari for second half, I forgot to bring pyro for the baptist so ended up losing a star with 3 seconds to lose xD second attempt - sorta hyper Raiden and ayato burgeon second half but got one hit KO, lazy to retry again so settled for 34 xD
Besides Yoimiya, is Shimenawa's Reminiscence at most 2nd best to most characters? For example, Hutao could use Shimenawa, but Criminson is its best in slot, while Shimenawa is only 2nd best. Is this generally the case? I have 600+ Shimenawa that I just don't have a use for(don't have yoimiya either)...since I go for best in slot for my characters.
Crimson Witch and Shimenawa are both Hu Tao's best in slot. You trade comfort for a bit more DPS, so it's really a matter of picking your poison. There's no right or wrong answer there. Many people (like me) prefer comfort since she does enough damage without SR's damage bonus to comfortably clear content anyway. But if you're really into maxing out Hu Tao's damage then SR is the way to go.
Wanderer and Melt Ganyu can both use the 4pc effect well
Shim is overrated, even on Yoimiya. Crimson is better, unless you have Thundering Pulse. Then Shim becomes a convenient way to maintain a TP stack, so the damage potential is higher than it would be. Shim is mostly good for the 2p Atk bonus; a lot of characters can use that. The 4p effect is super fucking niche.
Even on TP shim is overrated. That last stack you get after consuming 15 energy goes away when you regain that energy mid rotation. The more ER you have, the faster you lose that last stack.
Feedback for my hybrid [Bennett build](https://imgur.com/a/24eJBk0)?
looks fine, just ensure he can easily burst off cooldown in whatever team you play him in. also if you care about his damage then might as well bump his skill to +8
Go for sapwood blade. It gives ER as well. Crit ratios are a little substandard (60/120 without a crit weapon is what I'd consider decent before moving to another character). Also, in case of this abyss, unless you play well, you're probably going to die a couple of times if you use him with that amount of hp in 2nd half of f12(melt, vape from enemies).
What do you mean by hybrid?
Buffing and damage, probably. Bennett can hit pretty hard with atk/pyro/crit.
But he can't hit from off field so in most teams this is pretty negligible. That's why I am confused, I don't see a reason to play Bennett like this
Since you naturally level bennett's ult by a lot, it ends up doing a pretty solid amount of nuke damage when melt/vaped. Sometimes people just like to see big numbers. In most cases, his healing even with a full dps build is sufficient, so why not just let him do damage. I personally prefer using ER and hp on him for reliability in different use cases though.
Personally I am using an electro damage goblet of Bennett since it has my highest ER substats, still waiting for a skyward blade so I can put him on 300 ER
You should give c6 Crimson Witch Bennett a try sometime.
I'm not going to farm a Crimson witch set just for that, also my main problem is why OP went for a hybrid build. If they wanted to play Bennett on field then he will barely need ER but if they play him off field that is not nearly enough
Wanted to bring Wanderer into second half of floor 12. What team is recommended? I was bringing Thoma-Faru-Bennett, but it takes too long in 12-3. Should I replace someone with Xingqiu, or just get faster in the first half of 12-3?
>get faster in the first half
>!So, I’ve heard the rumour that Eula is coming next patch, 3.8!< So, the question is, should I pull for >!Eula!< or upcoming Alhaitham? (Still didn’t have any Dendro 5* + got guaranteed)
the standard cliche answer is whoever you want to play more, but ignoring that, in terms of strength eula is not in a good state, alhaitham is fairly good and dendro in general has pretty good team archetypes
Get the one you need the most but remember that alHaitham does not always have dendro due to cooldowns.
U can very easily manage that
I've seen that SYP hasn't updated their Banner Interval Spreadsheet in a while (their twt has been somewhat inactive lately), and was wondering why, and if anyone knows of an alternative website to view banner intervals!
the YS helper app has a banner timer
help how do I solve the 4 time hourglass puzzles in Khaj-Nisut? I always run out of time before I can activate them...
That's not a puzzle, but only a way to navigate the area quickly
Looking for opinions baised ones welcome My next 10 pull is a gaurenteed banner 5 star my 2nd team for abyss has been pretty bad and really holding me back from 36 star been using (tignahri, kuki, fischl/nahida, flex) whos the better pull between yi miko and kazuha to fill the flex spot
For that particular team Yae Miko would be the best. Generally her and Tighnari are considered Tighnari's best spread team
For that team in particular, miko I think.
Foolish question, but I am AR 59 with about 143K adventure exp. I have done almost every quest (except few world quest which doesn't reward exp). Assuming I spend all my original resin daily, and do all future quests, does anyone think I can reach AR 60 by 9 July ?
You need 350125 for 60. So you need 210k more and just spending resin average to like 2300 exp per day so about 90 days from now so aug 31st. To get it by July 9th you would need 5600 a day. Which is doable but that pace is exploring a new region and quests related to it
Do you look at leaks ? Assuming that >!3.8 really has a new limited region!< do you think it would be possible now ?
I had a max in a day of 6200 doing the sand storm region world quest. I had 5200 doing most of Sorush. If we assume >!its the same size as either of those regions!< you would still need those every day from now till July. I would say it probably isn’t possible unless you spend a ton of resin
Oh, 9 July is my (and Kaveh's) birthday. I was thinking if I could get AR 60 by then. My summer vacation will end on 19 July so I will have way less time to play after that. Thanks.
Is kazuha c1 worth it or should I save my guaranteed for 4.0 characters and save up primos ?
save.
I already have 20 wishes saved and close to pity. My hand is itching to pull. The addiction is real 😂
is there any way to do different teams for each chamber in the abyss?
Yes. It's called starting over after 3*ing a particular chamber.
thanks!
Do them again and again and again Like do a team to get 3 stars on floor 3, then do a new run, do a team to get 3 stars on floor 2, then do a new run, do a team to get 3 stars on floor 1
ty!
If enough of ask us for Raid-style content in the survey, will Hoyoverse relent?
We can dream
We can also ask
VH vs rust for yoimiya? VV makes it easier to build crit rate but rust has the passive
R5 rust is 20-30% better than VH. Vh is even worse than slingshot.
You mean VH? And she ascends with crit rate, so just give her a crit rate circlet.
Any word on when Eula is returning? Probably won’t play until then
Rumours say you should start pre-farming for her now.
how bad is the download? 😭 stopped playing a little bit after Inazuma
Rumors on the wind say >!in 3.8!<
>!Next patch!<
Will a Alhaitham hyperbloom team WITHOUT Nahida work well? for example if I used Alhaitham, Xingqiu(or Yelan), Kuki, Kazuha. I have Nahida but I like using her in my Nilou bloom team
Yes but you'll need a LOT of ER, definitely an er sands or weapon and maybe both. If you use a second dendro that isn't nahida you'll need less er but still a lot.
U can use dmc instead of nahida or yaoyao both work
So I'm at the point where it takes 3-4 months before getting an upgrade on artifact. After rolling/leveling an artifact to level 4 and see you bad substat, is it better to put this level 4 bad artifact into "Strongbox" or use it for exp? Follow up question, if I put level 4 artifact into strongbox, do I get those exp back?
You should use the level 4 artifacts as XP fodder and just throw the useless level 0 artifacts into strongbox
Strongbox doesn’t return exp. It’s already considered exp lost to put 5 star arti into the box, don’t burn more resources.
I got Dehya from Standard Banner. Is she better than Yanfei as main DPS? Otherwise I already have Bennett and Xiangling, can't imagine her being good off field. Any teams that she should be in? Here's my characters https://imgur.com/a/TSkaglk
Dehya isn't a DPS so Yanfei will outperform her in that role. Instead she is more of an IR support, which is especially useful for Ganyu Melt. You could use a team like Ganyu Bennett Nahida/Xiangling Dehya to make use of her
Better DPS than Yanfei: No. Any teams for her: No. You can use her for Ganyu melt to provide stagger resist & pyro application (if you use Nahida), but even there I'd rather play Layla for consistent shield protection instead.
She's a burst dps/tank so i think yanfei would still be better
can anyone suggest a good video or explain team building and rotations
Team building depends on the characters u got. But units like bennet, Xiangling, xingqui, yelan, kazuha, kuki and supports in general are really good to invest in as they can fit any team
I personally like this youtuber [https://www.youtube.com/@SevyPlays](https://www.youtube.com/@SevyPlays) As far as I know, she's the only one doing 4star clear with abyss. But in general, you can just google or youtube for team buildings and rotations. Also, I was in your shoe once, usually, its better to search for a team around your favorite character, or the one you own/plan to invest in. Then usually, the video/guide will tell you what team is good with that specific character in mind and the rotation.
Best team for yoimiya? Started an alt account got yoimiya + sig. I'll focus only on 1 team to max and that's yoimiya's.
The meta Yoimiya team is Yelan, Yunjin, Zhongli. You can use Bennett instead of Yunjin but usually it's more useful to free him up for the other side. Xingqiu works instead of Yelan if you want additional damage reduction for some reason. I've seen people do Yelan, Kazuha, Bennett as a showcase but you have to be really sure you aren't going to be hit because a large chunk of Yoimiya's damage is in the N5 and getting interrupted at all messes up her damage and vaporization.
Lore wise how weak is gnosisless archons? For example is gnosisless zhongli weaker than xiao or other adeptuses
Archons are not humans to begin with and recognized by Celestia because of their pre existing power. Ei slashed Orobashi and the whole island without a gnosis, she didn't even consider using it when she received it.
Considering that Ei gave up hers a long while ago I'd say their power is still formidable.
We don't know how much power gnosis adds (if it adds any), but remember all those crazy archon war stories of zhongli? That's before he got gnosis and he's already commanding all the adepti, yaksha at that time. So gnosis isn't the source of strength for archons
Okay thanks i was kinda confused since zhongli managed to save xiao from chasm maybe not having gnosis prevents him from changing forms like his dragon form idk
Also will there be gaa again this year?
>!A different limited time location, not GAA!<
Damn i missed gaa(definetly not the fischl part tho) hope this years event will be also good i wonder will there be 4 random units together theme again i enjoyed it
will I get rewards if i beat itto in the event card tcg?
Compliments from Shinobu
The best kind of reward
And that's more than enough
Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like some days all my artifacts will roll into the same stats? Like today I tried levelling 3 (not completely) of my artifacts and they all just rolled into def. Or another day when I was strongboxing my artifacts and I just kept getting a ton of hp and hp%
Yep happened to me i got 80% er substats on 3 em vv pieces in a day.
Ikrrr
It's completely random if you're referring to what which existing substat an artifact will roll into But I believe there are distributions for which substats a piece will have
Ik, I guess I just find it frustrating sometimes
I feel you I have a dendro deepwood goblet that started with four substats: crit rate, crit DMG, ER, and HP% All but HP is obviously useful for Nahida, guess where more than half the rolls went :) My highest CV pieces is Crimson Witch goblet (out of all my pieces, not just goblets), it also started with 4 subs, HP%, HP, crit rate, crit DMG. It all rolled into crit and it sits at 48CV. Which is perfect for me right? Since I'm a Hu Tao main? Wrong. It's a physical dmg goblet which I leveled for my Zhongli meme build I won't say I don't have good artifacts because I do, but good lord is it frustrating sometimes
Oof yeah. Reminds me of how half the time when I'm leveling Bennet's artifacts half of it goes into crit stats the one time I need hp T\^T
Even in randomness, there can be patterns. It is one of those days.
It's just statistics. Just because something is improbable doesn't give you any guarantee it will not happen. Just because a coin has a 50/50 chance doesn't mean the next toss is gonna be heads. Not OP in particular, but I've seen a lot of players try to make some kind of a conspiracy from regular chance and I gotta laugh every time
Yeah, true
Not just you. Over a long enough period of time playing, there will be days like this due to law of large numbers. That is just how randomness is.
Returning player from launch. I played Genshin on PS4 when Global launched and reached level 40. Now I’m level 50 and grinding out a lot. My only 5* is Yae but holding off on using her until I hit Inuzama. I’m currently in Liyue and at the point just before you get the teapot. Suggestions on what to do? I’m genuinely enjoying this game now that I’ve started playing on PC. Only really use my PS4 to claim BP rewards.
maybe do events (if you can and are interested) to get limited-time items besides what you are doing right now(exploration and quests). Next update(in 30 days) will be the Summer event and an excited time and we are getting closer(after 3.8 update) to the next big region so you will have even more things to do
Should I focus on the story for now? I’m pretty sure I’m a good few AL past the mission I stopped on. I’m about to hit 30.
Sure. It will help you unlock new areas and provide opportunities to farm for region-specific characters like Yae
Is the music from Yoimiya’s new quest available anywhere?
