why is seele ignoring the bronya that is with her? is she stupid?
summer hornet
She's probably been given express instructions in that regard
only interact with one Bronya, and that's Bronya Rand
HSR leaks ||apparently we've got an Imaginary Harmony Trailblazer form confirmed?||

HSR leaks ||apparently we've got an Imaginary Harmony Trailblazer form confirmed...
Been leaked for a while, but not the appearance
||Is that the fucking DMC hat||
Lmao
The free character you can get is between 4 characters ... of which I have all at E6
glossy latch
Also I checked out Wriothsleys character trailer and some clips from him in the story
I actually like his character
ebon quartz
Yeah I got Luka out of it.
I already had e6 Serval and don't care as much for the other two.
runic ether
pela is the 2nd best nihility character in the game
and arguably better in aoe content than silver wolf at least at e0 silver wolf
old galleon
would second pela in that situation, esp if you didn't already have her
runic ether
nihility goes silver wolf >> pela >= kafka
every other nihility is decent/good but below the 3
glossy latch
Pela over Kafka? That surprises me
runic ether
in general yea
glossy latch
But tbh I pick Nihility because I like DoTs and I like the characters
runic ether
kafka is amazing dont get me wrong but i would def play pela in more teams than kafka
pela's universal def shred and buff removal while holding the f2p silver wolf light cone allows her with enough er to go ult -> normal -> normal ult
and repeat
so shes amazing in low turn clears or long turn clears
as strong as kafka is, she really only has one team comp
granted its really good
but the teammates are not insane all the time
runic ether
her personal
welt's light cone is great
if u have it
luka's light cone is solid
the herta shop cone is okay
basically if u dont have e1 silver wolf, the free wolfie cone is gonna be fought for by pela and wolfie
runic ether
luka's is great especially at highter superimpositions
the herta one is better usually since its just kinda free
but its not the best on either sw or pela
void cargo
honestly the 4 star rates on fp banner dont seem that bad
got my second artoria in less than a week
runic ether
tho if u built kafka and all u likely already are feeling the shortage of good cones
not that nihility cones are bad
rather that every nihility character wants the same cones
glossy latch
honestly the 4 star rates on fp banner dont seem that bad
got my second artoria ...
Looks at my lack of Lynx after like 130 rolls
You sure
slow raft
wrong game
slow raft
fp banner is the friendpoint summon in fgo
runic ether
thats also good
it depends on what content ur gonna do and what moc teams ur gonna run
if u are gonna run wolf and pela in one or either team, u will wanna strip luka of that cone for the other one of pela or wolfie to run the other one
and who runs what?
old galleon
honestly the 4 star rates on fp banner dont seem that bad
got my second artoria ...
the rates are well, well less than 1%, although we don't know what they are exactly
runic ether
well wolfie is arguably the best character in the game so she gets priority but if u need to clear waves more than beat up a boss then it goes on pela
glossy latch
Oh I think Ive put Fermata on Kafka
old galleon
mathematically, the odds of you getting 2 4* out of the fp pool on only the free summons, in a week ,are astronomical
glossy latch
I think its Sampos cone on Sampo, Fermata on Kafka, Herta on Luka, Luka on Pela and SW on SW
old galleon
and if you're doing more than the free rolls, then i'd recommend not doing that
void cargo
mathematically, the odds of you getting 2 4* out of the fp pool on only the free...
also angra
runic ether
I think its Sampos cone on Sampo, Fermata on Kafka, Herta on Luka, Luka on Pela ...
gaming
void cargo
i dont
glossy latch
I wish I had Sampos cone at higher Superimposition tho
He is doing mad damage already
runic ether
the ideal scenario is to have s5 sampo cone on sampo luka and guinaifen
so that kafka can extract the fattest dots from them
glossy latch
And mines on E6 so you get to cash that bleed in a lot
runic ether
or luka in some st scenarios yea
oh shit
are u gonna pull for guinaifen?/
shes like aoe/blast luka for nihility
lol
arguably better than luka in most content
actually
wait
glossy latch
... I mean you did see how my Lynx luck went
Plus who is Guinaifen even launching alongside
Topaz?
runic ether
topaz and seele
i was just double checking in case we got news of a free guinaifen
but seems like we didnt
runic ether
we got a free serval/pela/luka/sampo this patch
next patch is the huohuo guinaifen lc
so 1.5 would be the next free 4 star
glossy latch
Only concern is ||Screwllum||, but apparently they kinda messed up ||Screwllums kit||?
runic ether
and that could be...anyone
runic ether
Only concern is ||Screwllum||, but apparently they kinda messed up ||Screwllums ...
its ||better overall but more boring iirc||
glossy latch
Only concern I have is that Im not sure I can get that many rolls for Topaz?
runic ether
topaz is gonna be solid
glossy latch
Like free 10 for sure, + like maybe 20 by the end of it or so?
Which is enough to get to a 50/50 but not to guarantee
runic ether
but shes so far, not breaking any dps numbers or enabling follow-up teams that much
like
fu xuan/lynx, tingyun, clara, march/topaz is pretty interchangable
arguably worse than running fu xuan/lynx wolfie tingyun clara even if u dont get additional follow ups bc tingyun is just that broken and wolfie and fu or lynx can get u guaranteed physical weak on certain enemies allowing clara to clear faster
on top of clara already wrecking mobs
1.4 has better buffs to the team in huohuo and hanya
glossy latch
What does Hanya do again
runic ether
she recovers skill points, buffs damage, and increases speed
she is very similar to tingyun in energy hungry teams but trades the energy for skill points and speed
runic ether
basically
tingyun if u bring it to the more average numbers
after skill + ult is net total 50% atk, 50% damage, and 50% ult for 2 turns and the atk buff lasts for 3 and deals an additional 40% lightning damage once
hanya is after skill and ult hanya dealing 240% of her atk to an enemy and places 2 burden counters on them
which equates to after skill and ult
24% of hanya's speed, 70% atk buff, and 2 extra skill points for 2 turns
tingyun will give more raw damage and ult but hanya enables sp hungry teams more
her notable eidolons are e2 and e6
which atm do
e2 buffs hanya's speed by 20%
which is a net buff to her own speed buff
and e6 recovers an additional skill point when a target with burden is hit
so she is recovering an ally 4-6 skill points
glossy latch
Yeah my logic is
I have Claras E1
So I want to use skill on her a lot
But then you also want to use skills on like March for the shield
runic ether
honestly u can 100% do fu xuan wolfie hanya clara
dropping march
so u can have mixed quantum/physical
so unless enemies have neither weakness, u always apply the relevant weakness
now this team would definitely be better as lynx wolfie hanya clara but 
glossy latch
Tbh I dont think I want to drop March in the clara comp rn
runic ether
lynx does march's job in clara for the most part
and fu xuan doesnt do that job but the way she keeps clara alive and the team in general is so insane it doesnt matter
glossy latch
If I had Lynx yes
Fu Xuans issue is the aggro multiplier
Hers is by default higher and she cant increase March'
runic ether
it really isnt that big of a difference
the 27th fastest moc clear/dps listed is actually mono-quantum clara
seele/clara/wolfie/fu
glossy latch
Wack
But yeah its just, the multiplier on the shield is huge
And without it Fu Xuan is gonna be attacked more
Its less of an issue at claras E6 but uh
runic ether
put them right next to each other
runic ether
which in moc u should be using clara into multi-target/aoe content
since she actually is the best dps into that content
runic ether
wtf
it can maybe be a bit daunting but once u get through the earlier moc floors moc 10 goes by fast
imo
glossy latch
Just too lazy to like, fully gear out stuff rn lmao
glossy latch
Ill try it on the next cycle maybe tho
glossy latch
Also I swear to god were never going to Penacony are we
runic ether
i stopped at 9 bc i was waiting for jing liu
runic ether
Also I swear to god were never going to Penacony are we
rumored in 1.7
well
1.7 is the last 1.x patch
after 1.7 we go to penacony
glossy latch
Wow thats ... still a while away wtf
runic ether
its not that far all things considered
we got about a month of 1.4 left
1.5 will take us to next year
old galleon
it's at least a few months
glossy latch
Its still a year for a new world, thats pretty long
runic ether
thats hoyo time
we go to a new region in genshin once a year
though tbf for genshin, i believe that was all bc of covid messing up the initial release of 2.0
glossy latch
Yeah but in Genshin there is more to the regions tbh
runic ether
okay yeah fair
i still find chests in mondstat and liyue
i found a new questline i had never done in liyue a week ago or so

HSR leaks ||apparently we've got an Imaginary Harmony Trailblazer form confirmed...

runic ether
yeah i saw that a bit ago
||harmony trailblazer's animations are so unserious its great.||
copper steppe
does he spend red orbs to attack
slow raft
unstoppable force vs immovable object
glossy latch
Ok but like
||Harmony Trailblazer is amazing||
||I just hope the kit is good, I 100% want to use that one forever||
Ok so apparently
||Harmony Trailblazer focuses on break effects?||
runic ether
yea its a strange kit
i think its stc still
but it would be interesting to see how they balance it
glossy latch
Stc?
runic ether
subject to change
also on wriothesley
it really seems like hes balanced around getting c1
neuvillette and hu tao are in a similarish boat but they are extremely functional at c0
still top tier
but for wriothesley hes just ok until c1 in which case he is on-par with ayaka/ganyu
its such a weird kit
his unfortunate situation is that his combos are hp negative so he kills his own damage but a healer will also do it
since its not doing enough sustain
hes also so balanced around an account having furina
glossy latch
I just like the character
runic ether
siegewinne will probably be that healer
oh yeah dont get me wrong i would love to get him
but im so set on cryo
fontaine characters are all really great
glossy latch
Not sure how many rolls Ill have tho
runic ether
yeah
that may be the tough part
i will say if u dont get him, get furina
she is pretty guaranteed to be amazing with alrecchino or wriothesley in a rerun
oh another problem that wriothesley has
he has 2 f2p weapons
the new event 4 star
and the fontaine craft catalyst
every other ones are just mid
his best team is just hyperfridge huh
unfort this is not an easy team to get going without specific characters
for wriothesley in particular
he will need kuki
xingqiu or furina but furina's hydro application is not amazing
and then nahida or dendro mc
glossy latch
RIP
old galleon
just hit 1m np damage with np2 astrea lol
runic ether
apparently chlorinde will drop after arlecchino
alrecchino may be 4.6 after all
my hope is that arlecchino goes all in on the lady maria inspiration and her hp drain mechanic involves stabbing herself to draw flaming blood
old galleon
LESGOOOOOOOOOOOO
if star rail ever does character buffs, she should be one of the first 5* to get one
but that's a big if
old galleon
friendly reminder for fgo people that the event after this one (the gudaguda one) requires completing heian-kyo to be able to start
summer hornet
oh dang, seriously? That's a super-high bar
old galleon
so definitely do this event, but don't slack on story if you're not there yet
esp since the welfare from it is one of the better ones imo
old galleon
oh dang, seriously? That's a super-high bar
correct
also, the post-christmas event (and yes, it does double as an event) requires completing avalon
i would say that one's not as high priority since it's baked into the main story anyway
summer hornet
post-Christmas... that should be ||Tunguska Sanctuary||, right?
old galleon
but it still exists, so
old galleon
post-Christmas... that should be ||Tunguska Sanctuary||, right?
yes
summer hornet
don't they turn that into a Main Interlude after Traum's released?
old galleon
i don't know, actually
okay yeah, it does seem like they're added to rp shop at some point (for free, after you read the prologue)
note that the prologue and epilogue are permanent content so you can't miss those
the recommendation, then, would be to make sure you grab the event quests and do those before reading the epilogue, for quartz and shit (assuming you can't make it to the event proper)
anyway, avalon clear is an extremely high bar
for more information, refer to the pinned boss guide : ^)
unless you want to go in blind, in which case, you're gonna die
old galleon
that's the look of a man who's seen things

he does everything in main story with phantom of the opera, including a support where possible
phantom must get the killing blow too
summer hornet
i rly need to finish this event
I haven't started the event lmao, I just finished the main story interlude
gonna save Aetherium Wars for next week; the rest of my time tonight will go towards FGO (and maybe 3 Houses)
idle grove
oh wow yeah that's uh
gonna be a tough one for him to do if he's just got to use phantom
I dare say impossible
old galleon
inb4 the 3 turn set up just with phantom to do the last blow
the problem is gonna be keeping phantom alive
he's going in totally blind and is, so far, happy that he's a berserker and not a caster
copper steppe
old galleon
aight he's going for his first attempt
first run failed, phantom died during the second bar, but he went into third bar to get information
summer hornet
There’s no way to figure out the damage reduction just from the in-game descriptions
Or at least not the full scope of it
Ah, he didn’t get through the fight today
Fair
old galleon
yeah this is gonna probably be a long term thing for him

Pull for seele, topaz is a fed
old galleon
she's not a fed, she's a corpo

not sure if that's how they're doing reruns or not
idle grove
isn't topaz the irs not a fed
old galleon
she's the irs if the irs were a corporation rather than the financial auditing arm of the federal government
idle grove
summer hornet
not sure if that's how they're doing reruns or not
Pretty sure the format is two separate sets of limited banners, akin to FGO
So there'll be 5 banners up at once, albeit one of them is the standard
runic ether
in all seriousness, both are good
topaz is a lot more specific than seele is
seele is top 5 dps in the game and can even do amazing in aoe and burst content. topaz wants an entire archetype built around follow up attacks
we have just jing yuan, kafka, and clara who really do those that have actual power behind them
old galleon
that's e6 specifically
runic ether
she was never f tier
even without cons qq is quite good
peopel were just not understanding how to effectively run her kit
glossy latch
Her trouble was also how rng she was
So they didnt put her on the list a lot of the time
runic ether
she was never very rng
ppl just did not understand the kit
the irony of qq is that her whole thing is gamba but how u can run her and play her makes her 1 of the most consisten dps characters in the game

runic ether
oh fuck they just kept buffing furina's c2 and her c3
her fanfare buff now requires a crown at c0 since it scales at .02% per level so it is a skill to crown and becomes much better at level 13
c1's upper limit increase drops to 100 and her initial gain is 150
and c2's fanfare speed buffed to 250% hp gain past max is bumped to 3.5% per stack still capping at 140%
it really feels like her pneuma mode will need some serious rework to be considered useful at all
her bday was updated to be october 13th too
basically though this means i can just go for c0 furina and i think i can get enough primos and fates to guarantee her
her c1 and c2 lose a lot of interest to me
might pick up c1 in her rerun
and yeah furina remains really strong for noelle

Am I gonna sequencebreak

not really
runic ether
yep
inazuma is the only bitch region to get done bc it is completely inaccessible until you clear liyue
its also why they dont really give out free inazuma characters cus they sit in your character select screen looking pretty at level 1 for about 10 billion years
glossy latch
I see
Well, for now I think Ill just play the game on and off waiting for Arlecchino
I got Wriothesley and I dont think Ill bother trying for a C1
runic ether
just doing dailies and clearing content should get u well enough
especially cus arle will be at the very least 4.5 but likely 4.6
to make sure u have enough for her u can probs just build to clear abyss content especially since having wriothesley means u have 1 half team
i think spiral abyss is very easy to skill ur way past it unlike in hsr where u do actually need builds
in genshin so long as u can hit dps checks as long as u play well u can clear

Yee
Also how the hell does Wriothesleys jacket even work
I thought it attached to those straps he has
But that doesnt seem to be the case?
idle grove
just looking at images it seems like it works off of anime logic
it just hangs on his shoulders
idle grove
oh yeah so it does
I thought it was just the angles I saw
again unfortunately the only answer I have is simply
the rule of cool
idle grove
what a gif
glossy latch
The straps are part of a sort of harness, you can barely see an X shape made from it on his back in his plunging attack (?)

i didnt mean to send that

u dont need more defense go for damage
xiangling works
do neuv/xiangling/nahida/zhongli its stupid functional. fischl to solve energy issues

Issue is I want to leave team 2 untouched because that team puts in work, I wanted to build a team with units not from team 2
This is who I got

Theres a few other things that would get in the way of that

Ain't easy to become 2D, unless you're Flat Stanley

I mean thats not the issue either, some people can look like anime characters irl
The only anime character I look like is a not blonde Major from Hellsing with a beard
Being short and stout is not fun

I look like the parody Tieria from the Celestial Being movie lol
It could be worse

u have some insanely easy teams lol

Whats a good catalyst for Wriothesley btw?
in reverse melt mappa mare. new event catalyst is good too and free to get and r5
best artifacts is marechausse hunter
glossy latch
Wait new event catalyst?
runic ether
they gave some figure about how big genshin is at max resolution i think it was over 275 gb
glossy latch
Oh uh
The poetry thing?
I havent done that yet
Wait what catalyst does it give
The 3* one?
versed pawn
... how do I get the material for Wriothesley
Have fun u gonna hate collecting those bugs because for some reason the only visually spawn like 5 steps away from you 
runic ether
Wait what catalyst does it give
its a 4 star that buffs normal and charge attacks and gives er
which frankly is kinda useless on wriothesley
but the normal and ca stuff is great
runic ether
also free r5
iirc there is a 3 star catalyst thats strong on him but
bc of this free 4 star and mappa mare being good its kinda mid
glossy latch
Why is the event more like a questline
runic ether
its also not like harbinger of dawn, slingshot, or white tassel where they are actually really good
fun fact, it is
this is one of the best genshin events ngl
glossy latch
I am mostly skipping the dialogue
runic ether
the story is actually quite solid lol
only thing u need to know context for is that xiao is that u likely havent experienced xiao's character progression to understand his stance on things yet
xiao goes thru 2 patches worth of character progression

Oh apparently Wriothesleys C1 is really good/important?
long tree
Welp I've tried the spiral abyss
Freeze is bullshit and I hate it so much
There should be a freeze cool down window cause what the hell
runic ether
Oh apparently Wriothesleys C1 is really good/important?
yes but not necessary
long tree
Unless all you're doing is playing genshin then prolly not
runic ether
Im guessing farming 70-90 rolls in 3 weeks isnt realistic either
itd require way too much grind
also imo, while good, its really not necessary
compare to other quote unquote important c1s
hu tao is actually a huge damage increase since for most purposes, n2cd combos are a dps gain for most team comps and she can pp slide off c2cd but not n2cj combos
neuvillette's increase is also quite sizable but is reduced by not having a skill issue and, can be mitigated way more by beneficial teammates that contribute to the dps of neuvillette
glossy latch
Gotcha
runic ether
its kind of a bait c1 for wriothesley's case
wanderer is similar actually
where the c1 on 1st read sounds way better than it is and the real power for wanderer is in his c2 and personal weapon
if you are gonna pull any further on wrio, pull his weapon
however unlike either of the other c1s/c2s in the game
wriothesley's best case scenario isnt to have a c6 faruzan but rather to have furina
glossy latch
What does his weapon do again?
runic ether
wrio, furina, jean is a potent combo for offsetting his own hp consumption
which btw with furina consumes 120% hp
which fortunately means he cant kill himself yeah but it also means he only has one good rotation
runic ether
What does his weapon do again?
mid base atk, mid crit rate + increased atk by 16%. when current hp increases or decreases, normal atk dmg increases by 16% and charged attacks by 14% for 4s max 3 stacks. triggers once every .3s. when you have 3 stacks, atk spd increases by 8%.
exact stats at level 90 is 674 and 22%
its super nice for wrio, wanderer, yae, and neuv can use it too
glossy latch
Huh
runic ether
yanfei also gets a ton out of it
glossy latch
Unfortunately I suspect pulling for a weapon is not a great idea rn
runic ether
if you have/get her
no it isnt lol
its situational
actually
to be completely fair
it is a situational case
for some characters, they have priorities
and also weapon banners can have different levels of quality
this one rn is not too bad
favonious sword is really really good
good enough where getting 10+ copies of it is better than getting some 5 star characters
unfortunately most of the other 4 star weapons in this banner blows
they are just ok to bad
carried by the fact that elegy and cashflow are very very good weapons
getting either is a big account upgrade
runic ether
much more recommended for sure
new characters > weapons
also its just very likely that arlecchino's personal weapon is absolutely dripped out the sauce
and getting 5 star polearms is 2nd best weapon type to get weapons on
since polearms dont have a sacrificial polearm
and all polearm characters will stretch you thin on the weapons u get
you can make kitain cross spear for free and moonpiercer
the catch is free too
but you will likely have more than 3 polearm characters
and all 3 of these alone will be in their best in slot
glossy latch
Who is the best, catalyst?
runic ether
favonious lance is locked to gacha pulling but its another that is very likely more valuable to get 2 high refinement copies than getting most 5 star characters
glossy latch
As in what the best category to get is
runic ether
general use catalyst weapon 5 star is kagura's verity
glossy latch
Since you mentioned polearms are only second
runic ether
ah
its bows
but this is mostly bc theres like no bad 5 star bow
all of them are insane
glossy latch
Bows? That surprises me
In general bows feel kinda clunky, but I assume theyre mostly a support weapon?
runic ether
elegy for the end, aqua simulacra, first great magic, polar star, hunter's path
and dps
like actually every 5 star bow is fucking cracked
but while other 5 star weapon categories have some good to great ones in the class, they will have some stinkers
or some niche ones
or the other problem
claymores have some absolutely insane weapons but most claymore characters dont care about them
insane 5 stars to be clear
the f2p claymores are all very very very good
and similarly almost all fall behind the bp claymore and the inazuma and sumeru craft claymores
catalyst is 2nd worst 5 star quality
some really good 5 star catalysts
all outshined by the fact that thrilling tales of dragon slayers, sacrifical fragments, and favonious codex and soon prototype amber are all anyone will ever need
also some 5 star catalysts are disgustingly bad
kokomi's personal and baizhu's personals are stale dogwater and often worse than the 3 star thrilling tals
*tales
so the catalyst highs are outshined by their lows
swords are middle of the pack
some insane ones, some niche ones
the issue is that swords also got a lot of f2p options
runic ether
yeah should be more than enough
meme tech
use prototype amber if you get furina
kills wrio's personal damage
ensures your energy and healing needs are compressed
glossy latch
Isnt Furina next patch?
runic ether
yeah
1st half too
but!
she is the biggest upgrade to wrio
and likely will be the best upgrade for arlecchino
glossy latch
Yeah but Im out of rolls lmao
Idk if I can get her
But shes a big deal from what I understand so I suspect shell get a rerun soon enough
runic ether
usually archons gets their initial launch in .2 patch
and then a rerun before their region ends so 4.6/4.7
and then again early into the new region they get a rerun
glossy latch
So itd be Arlecchino and Furina rerun back to back?
runic ether
or same patch
its very likely
granted not in the same banners
i hope
thatd be a brutal schedule for anyone who will wait on furina bc they arent sold on her mechanics/gameplay and then pick her up later and want arle
glossy latch
Is Arlecchinos kit known, or are you assuming she synergises with Furina for lore reasons?
runic ether
we dont know her kit
we can only assume since she's from fontaine she will work with the archon's mechanic like most characters per region do
some exceptions of course
ayato doesnt particularly care for raiden for instance. though hes not bad at all with her
itto is the biggest oddball in inazuma as a 5 star noelle
fun geo fact: when furina releases, geo not having a dedicated healer means that he will officially be worse than the free noelle
in sumeru the only character that doesnt work with nahida is
wanderer
but he doesnt technically count hes from inazuma
glossy latch
I see
mostly wondering if Arlecchino and Wriothesley are gonna work well together
Should be at least good element-wise?
runic ether
it depends
elements match yes
but alrecchino would need to be an off-fielder for wrio
i would personally be fine if she powercrept xiangling finally but that just means u dont play wrio at that point. u play mono pyro with xiangling arle bennett and furina or kazuha/sucrose
glossy latch
Ah, right
And Im assuming it being Arlecchino means she isnt likely to be an off-fielder
runic ether
yeah given that all the harbinger's so far are on-fielders (outside of meme childe builds) she will likely be on field
oh and arle is the 4th ranked harbinger
shes canonically more powerful than every other harbinger in the story we have seen besides il dottore
if i had to guess what arlecchino does btw based on her design inspiration
she was based off lady maria from bloodborne
so blood drain to get pyro app
aka hp drain -> pyro application to her normals
runic ether
yea
u will find out as u get to fontaine in-story
entire genshin world is kinda fucked besides liyue arguably?
liyue only nation that is truly stable with nothing seriously threatening
glossy latch
I do remember you mentioning that the world might be "fake"
summer hornet
Sounds like Arknights lmao
glossy latch
Which makes me wonder if the Genshin devs also are Trails fans
runic ether
the skt in teyvat is fake yes
glossy latch
Because thats a thing mentioned off-handedly in trails too, there are unnatural boundaries in the world and all that
runic ether
fuck im a fake souls fan why did i say ariandel
anyhow yeah they may be trails fan but they are def souls fans
i am actually quite excited to see where the story goes in natlan since the pyro archon is said to share a huge secret with the traveler
glossy latch
Damn apparently people are saying Wriothesley is kinda not that great without c1
How do I always pick the lowtiers
runic ether
honestly ppl are wrong about that
its the same shit as ppl who say c0 tao is actually bad or c0 neuv
tldr skill issue
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
i was wondering why i was struggling this abyss cycle
how did i forget to gear fucking bennett
still cleared
glossy latch
Btw is there any site for figuring out artifact sets?
mystic python
https://keqingmains.com/ Usually has decent in-depth info for each char
glossy latch
Gotcha
glossy latch
Also any notable f2p healers I should keep in mind?
runic ether
barbara is genuinely not bad
mystic python
Bennett, Diona, Yaoyao and Kuki are the really good 4 star healers, mostly because they do other useful stuff outside of healing. Mika might see some use once Furina comes around, Barbara has niche usage in bloom teams here and there
runic ether
kuki is top tier for sure
yaoyao is amazing as well
actually of the 5 star healers they arent amazing bc they heal a lot of the time thinking about it
baizhu and kokomi heal but the reason ppl care about em is cus of their slow element app
glossy latch
Oh right I have Diona
Lmao
But Im not sure I have enough characters for a full cryo team
runic ether
cryo is actually pretty great to splash in a team
ie: in a hyperbloom team u get hyperfridge sincs cryo + dendro dont interrupt each other
glossy latch
Oh this is mostly for Wrio
And I assume 2 Cryo on the same team doesnt give you mcuh?
runic ether
it does
every element pair has a resonance
2 elements enable resonance
cryo makes u less affected by hydro and 15% crit rate up vs enemies affected by cryo
glossy latch
Huh
That doesnt sound bad
So itd be what, Wrio, Diona, Xiangling and a random fourth character?
runic ether
thoma
thoma and xiangling would have energy issues but u can reverse melt that
thoma's shield also gets nice with normal attacks
actually id drop diona in this team. wriothesley doesnt care about his burst but hmmm
ig u dont have a healer atm to try and offset wrio's hp drain
on that team tbc
glossy latch
Mmh
(Granted I dont know who the healers are)
I guess Yaoyao is
But idk if Dendro makes sense without the ... what was it
Hyperbloom?
runic ether
hyperbloom is electro/dendro/hydro
theoretically wrio can run hyper-fridge
hmmm but it is quite a weird team
u need kuki or raiden
fischl can work
glossy latch
I have Fischl at C1 if that means anything
glossy latch
Well I have Yaoyao for dendro
runic ether
fischl's relevant constellations for her are c4 and c6
glossy latch
And Xingque for Hydro
runic ether
thats actually where i was gonna get at
xingqiu applies a lot of hydro
like a lot of it
for a lot of teams a bit too much hydro
usually this isnt an issue this is only good
wait actually the only issue in that team is that yaoyao will wanna share field time
u can do wrio/fischl/xq/yao
if u dont need the healing too bad u can do dendro mc
runic ether
dendro first, then hydro
it makes bloom cores
rotation would start
yaoyao e -> xq eq -> fischl e -> wrio normal + charge combos to freeze and continue the fridge
glossy latch
Oh XQ as in xiangque, for osme reason I was still on xiangling
runic ether
-> fischl q to get oz back -> yaoyao q and now she drives to make a ton of dendro before xq comes back and eq again -> fischl e -> rizzley normal
this team is pretty energy hungry
at least gearing should be simple
yaoyao on 4 piece deepwood, fischl on 4 piece golden troupe, xingqiu on 4 piece emblem of severed fate, and wrio on 4 piece marechausse
all of the domains for artifacts here are extremely efficient
wrio and fischl are farmed together
in theory yaoyao can use golden troupe too
and emblem is a great set to farm
runic ether
yeah the very 1st domain in fontaine is the artifact domain i believe
deepwood is in sumeru
emblem of severed fate is in inazuma
but it got added to the strongbox
so you can actually just farm the fontaine domain and toss spare bad pieces in fontaine to get 3 in 1 farming
potentially 4 in 1
if yaoyao is gonna go on golden troupe too
as for weapons its actually a fair bit simple too
fischl will want stringless if you have it otherwise fav bow is not bad since it lets the team's energy cost go down
yaoyao goes on black tassel or kitan cross spear but tassel will keep you healthy for longer
xingqiu on sacrifical sword
glossy latch
I do have stringless
glossy latch
Only the basic one, no refinement, but still
runic ether
but this is a team where him on prototype amber would actually be kinda lit
team already has energy needs, the biggest damage in the team is actually fischl creating the hyperblooms
and as such, wriothesley in this team is driving xingqiu and fischl and yaoyao so his personal damage doesnt has to be insane
oh and of note, this is a team where just yaoyao really needs to go to level 90
everyone else can stay at 80
though i do recommend at least getting fischl and wrio to 80/90 maybe not fully leveled to 90
substats are also pretty easy
fischl on golden troupe wants atk or em sands/electro goblet/crit rate or damage circlet
yaoyao on er sands/hp goblet/hp circlet
xingqiu on er sands/hydro goblet/crit rate or damage circlet
wrio on atk/cryo/crit
another benefit to going for this team is that hyperbloom damage is stupid
like really fucking stupid
even at low investment
runic ether
they were on some weird shit with some early artifacts with 1 piece set bonuses
they gave up on them very very fast though
it has created some very very nice situtations though
2pc/2pc works obviously
but the 5th piece can be an off-piece
u can have a full set bonus without needing 5 of the same set
glossy latch
Do different sets have different stats?
runic ether
yeah of course
crimson witch of flames is pyro bonus, blizzard strayer is cryo for instance
deepwood is dendro bonus
emble is +20% energy recharge
glossy latch
Oh uh
runic ether
*emblem
