sands can be atk%/hp%/def%/er%/elemental mastery
#Gacha Chat
runic ether
goblets can be atk%/def%/hp%/elemental mastery/element%
circlet can be atk%/def%/hp%/healing bonus%/crit rate/crit damage
its just like star rail otherwise with a small caveat
you cannot get a substat that shares your mainstat
so an atk% sands cannot have atk% as a substat
runic ether
the most stock build is
atk/element/crit
different characters have different energy recharge requirements or different scalings and such just like in hsr
ie: yelan is an off-field dps
but she has 0 atk scaling bits in her kit
its all hp% scaling
glossy latch
Like Fu Xuan then
runic ether
nah yelan's damage is fat
yelan at c0 is about as good as a c4-c5 xingqiu
she trades his small healing and interruption resistance and crazy good hydro app for >> damage
c6 yelan is arguably the strongest character in all of genshin
glossy latch
Its not Neuvilette?
runic ether
it is not
arguably neuvillette runs very very close to yelan
both at c6r5
but yelan gets the edge since she is literally just xingqiu as well
reasons to get yelan is that shes a 2nd xingqiu so u can run xingqiu on both sides of the abyss
or pair them together
warning this actually does trivialize end game content
dull bridge
@runic ether is there a good dps i can replace qq with in the ten u gave me cause mine isn't e6 and you said e6 qq was bessexwry
i'm pulling for jingliu could she replace?

yea sure damage is comparable

if ur gonna speed tune yeah

what about kriemhild?
isnt she like one of the best?

whats the gist with this stuff
build team around the types

whats the gist with this stuff
1 really good team tends to work

1 really good team tends to work
can i just use that team to clear the championship
or will i need to build another team
i mean
like
keep switching
torn harbor
Absolutely (i did change the last teammate to the inspire one but it shouldnt make too much of a diff)
torn harbor
For the mech its the one which gives 3 charges to super at the start
The one which sacrifices 25% hp to action forward whenever you take an action (or the summons take an action)
And i forgot the last one but in the clip its the DoT one (which i eventually changed but i dont remember to what cause the last build has a post championship chip)
dull bridge
For the mech its the one which gives 3 charges to super at the start
The one whi...
do the rest matter?
torn harbor
do the rest matter?
The one for the cannoneer i used was 50% attack when not their turn and 75% atk but speed decreased
Also put the morale chip on someone
Anyone works
dull bridge
i havent gotten that one yet :/
ebon quartz
I used cannoner, vagrant, Bubbles (trotter) and the big mech thing.
Maxed out Mechs attack and used a chip to reduce ult cool down to only 2 energy and swept everything that wasn't pure human enemies.

rolled for rinyuu, got spooked by primrose
apparently the og octopath cast really likes me or something
i got alfyn on sacred guidance banner a couple weeks ago, got a 4.5* h'aanit a bit before that
and got spooked by cyrus rolling for frederica
so altogether that's four of the eight in the 3 weeks or so that i've been back on this game
the ones i'm missing would be tressa, olberic, ophilia, and therion
anyway, although i really want rinyuu, primrose is one of my favorites from teh original, so i won't complain
glossy latch
Is that good/relevant on him?
runic ether
its good and relevant yes
i think besides heizhou, hes the only catalyst user who can dragonstrike by themselves without external assistance

glossy latch
Gotcha

I'm a really big fan of him so I'm glad he has a whole day

@runic ether is Rainslasher good on Beidou?
runic ether
pretty decent
glossy latch
It reads good but Idk how good Elemental Mastery is on her
runic ether
the issue with rainslasher on beidou is that she doesnt hit bloom cores well so its usage is kinda limited on her
elemental mastery is very nice on any aggravate character
glossy latch
I see
Im guessing its gonna be on upgrade in the short term at least
(Also I got a second Bell >.>)
glossy latch
Oh and I can see why Xingque is good
Used him for Pyrovine and it made it so much easier
Also Wriothesleys attacks freezing the water came in handy
I could just attack chain to the island with the geo hypostasis
runic ether
lmfaooo
kaeya icebridge got powercrept
its the only aspect of kaeya thats kind of a dud nowdays
wrio and ayaka powercrept icebridge tech
glossy latch
Oh is Kaeya decent otherwise?
runic ether
kaeya is very very good
glossy latch
Is it his burst?
runic ether
and his extremely short skill cooldown
it lets him generate a ton of cryo particles
so cryo teams rarely ever have burst issues
his cryo application is fast and can be off-field
his energy requirements are also very low
and his internal talent multipliers are kinda nuts
his stamina passive also help for stamina hungry teams
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
it also helps that he is a very straightforward character
u will never have to think too hard on how to build him
if freeze = blizzard strayer + atk/cryo/crit
if reverse melt = emblem or lavawalker + atk or em/cryo/crit
he can use literally every sword in the game well
favonious sword for energy, 5 star swords for stat sticks, elemental mastery swords for reverse melt damage, harbinger of dawn for fat crit damage and crit rate
in any case i went through to look at the 3 star claymores u may have access to at this moment and holy fuck i forgot how ass they are
at lest the craft claymores are actually pretty damn good
forest regalia from sumeru and katsuragikiri nagamasa are really really good
glossy latch
So basically, Rainslasher until I get to later regions
runic ether
yup
fontaine's craft greatsword is relatively niche but gets better with fontaine characters in particular
its still a huge atk% stat stick
and oh and
whiteblind
whiteblind is also relatively niche
but its really good on noelle
xinyan if u ever come across her also uses whiteblind well
if you for some reason become a geo main and get itto bc u somehow missed furina for noelle its also great on him
im still kinda shocked at the start difference between 3 star claymores and the other weapon types
raven bow, sharpshooter's oath, slingshot (this one in particular) are really strong weapons
swords have the dark iron sword (hard to find and only a single copy ever), harbinger of dawn (competitive with 5 stars), skyrider sword (kinda niche) are all strong
polearms get black tassel, white tassel, the catch
the catch is arguably one of the best weapons in the game period
catalysts also got some powerful stuff
magic guide gives an entire 5 star artifact's worth of elemental mastery + damage bonus vs hydro and electro which means a dendro catalyst user is literally getting fat damage in hyperbloom for free
thrilling tales of dragon slayers has had not one but 2 5 star catalysts come out and they are still worse than ttds
granted its really really hard to beat a free 35.2% hp substat for the hp scaling catalyst characters that also gives them the chance to give your on-field dps 48% atk for 10 seconds every 20 seconds

oh uh @glossy latch u get to get bennett next month from starglitter shop btw if u have 34 of the fates which gives incentive to pursue furina
cus atm one of the better wrio teams is definitely reverse melt with bennett xiangling + spare cryo
runic ether
hmmmmm
u might
by doing story + exploration with pulls for furina u should be able to squeeze out the 34 needed
runic ether
fuck
i forgot
bennett literally doesnt work with fontaine dps characters until hes c1
torn harbor
Is bennett still the best support in the gane?
glossy latch
Why is that?
runic ether
3 technically 4-5 things
- role compression. bennett buffs your damage and heals
- his pyro application is really solid
- his skill and burst are on short cooldowns and relatively small energy costs so you can build a lot of er and get guaranteed bursts on bennett
- he is amazing at funneling energy to pyro characters. no pyro character in this game has energy problems bc they exist with bennett
- his constellations all are just really good for him except c4 and c6 can enable entire new playstyles

Wow subdetection units suck to gather

they respawn in about 2 days btw
this is how genshin gets ppl to keep logging in

1 more and Im done with them for now
runic ether
u cannot actually pay money to get a lot of things in genshin
it looks a lot better for mihoyo metrics if u log in daily/every other day
also the incentive to actually explore
runic ether
oh
u havent unlocked the animal crossing portion of genshin yet
once u get through more of liyue, u will unlock animal crossing island in genshin and u can build furniture and shit
late canopy
You can level up your teapot to eventually generate currency to buy certain resources which renew once a week
Also you can make furniture sets that certain characters like to get primos
runic ether
there are achievements and primos to obtain
late canopy
That's for functionality that ties back to the main game anyways
Alternatively devote your soul and become teapot main
runic ether
i know more than a few teapot mains

i am so glad they moved furina's c2 to c6
it means when arlecchino comes around, i am much more likely to be able to c6r5 her

i was catching up with zy0x's stream from yesterday and he literally got wrio in a 10 pull

No 5050 losses and constantly early
runic ether
lucky fuck
runic ether
i cannot complain
i have lost
3 50/50s i believe
lost to keqing, lost to mona, and lost to qiqi
im not counting the dehya lost bc i lost to dehya and immediately got yelan after that in 4.0
same pull
late canopy
I think I've lost four but I've also been playing for three years
runic ether
same with some other "lost 50s"
late canopy
My luck has honestly been insane
glossy latch
What are Wrios unique combos?
runic ether
i do have c3 mona bc she came along with some of the other 5 stars
i got mona with my original yelan pull
like
c0 mona was my 1st 5 star from standard
and then i got c1 losing 50/50 to yelan
and then yelan came with a free mona
which was after yelan so i guaranteed ayaka
late canopy
Stronk
runic ether
What are Wrios unique combos?
wrio has a lot of n2-3c combos and u gotta know how to weave quickswaps and dragonstrikes for some dps peaks vs some enemies
sometimes u gotta forgoe his charge attack to go super low and then get that burst of healing
late canopy
What are Wrios unique combos?
I don't have Wrio so I haven't looked much into it but I imagine some variation of 2 normal 1 charge

I feel kinda sad ‘cause this gacha game I was playing closed down last month.
old galleon
pretty easy imperial special forces fight
took a couple attempts to figure out
shit is extremely fast on master difficulty so i had to put the mechani ax on necoco to let her debuff have priority
i couldn't turn 1 af with this comp bc i need to use nona's basic on aldo, which you can't do in af
and this thing has 2 stoppers anyway, so it's w/e
tetra trivializes the bind rng in the last stretch of the fight, and i have 7 profic debuff grasta up so the stat debuffs don't happen
if you're going non-gacha only, probably use gariyu as the attacker instead of aldo, although aldo is still doable

stumbled upon this jewel again

i saw someone pull c6 jingliu in about 800 pulls

runic ether

By which AR should you expect to be able to clear all of the one-time Spiral Abyss floors?
glossy latch
Problem is I dont really have a great healer tbh?
So his C1 would make things way easier there
runic ether
furina is technically a healer
well
not even technically
she is
her ousia mode is dps and her pneuma mode is pure heals
she cant do both at once until c6
bu shes very much the hydro and hp bennett
glossy latch
She has two modes?
runic ether
yes
her whole deal is that she does a stance change with her charge attack which does no damage and consumes no stamina
glossy latch
Huh, neat
runic ether
its a technical dps loss to have her switch stance
technical
the reason is her skill is cracked
it lasts 30 seconds on field with a 20 second cooldown
her burst also has a relatively short cooldown of 18 seconds and lasts i believe 14 seconds with a relatively low burst cost
versed pawn
Is Jean worth it these days happen to get one on my wrio pulls
runic ether
she is actually going to be meta with furina
versed pawn
Mhh
I do actually have a guaranteed banner 5* I should be able to get furina
Tho I'm still stuck farming for rizzly gear for now
runic ether
furina should be a really strong teammate for wrio
versed pawn
I do have e2 + sig on him
Tho I do also have a yelan and a xinq that would pair well with him
glossy latch
But yeah idk I wanna try to get Wrios C1
Even though I know since Im new I should go for Furina
versed pawn
🙏
I mean u can try but if u loose the 50/50 you should at least reconsider wether u want furina or not
U are not super far into the game you can easily get the resources
runic ether
i think furina is a bigger buff to wrio than c1 or his personal
versed pawn
But u will have to spend a ton of time grinding
glossy latch
i think furina is a bigger buff to wrio than c1 or his personal

the secret to hydros is that they are all fucking broken and good with each other in some way or form
xingqiu is the best character in the game

Too bad the wrio 4 stars haven't been that great
I'm now a proud owner of a c6 doriband Thoma 
runic ether
yelan is just xq without the interrupt resistance or healing or insane hydro app but she has more damage
glossy latch
Is Thoma not that good?
runic ether
barbara is legit one of the better healers
thoma is solid
hmm how to put it though
if thoma was hydro he would be broken
but hes pyro so hes just ok
his c2 and c4 are very good for him at least
but im not joking if ur a hydro in genshin impact ur automatically above 90% of other characters
versed pawn
I saw a fun team with wrio nahida, Bennet and Thoma
versed pawn
No nahida tho
runic ether
benny xiangling nahida wrio
rotation has to be nahida -> bennett -> xl -> wrio
this also works with dendro mc
but i think to keep up the dendro u need a lot of er and likely sac sword to continually proc dendro mc's skill
versed pawn
But u would need a hydro somewhere there right so u dont accidently explode the lotus with fire
runic ether
no
if u die u die
but also bennett should keep u up along with wrio's own self-healing
ah dendro mc's thing explodes early
yeah that is why u need a fuck ton of er
versed pawn
Yeah water increases range and fire explodes it and electro increases it's ticks

mondstat isnt actually done as a region

theres an entire northern region to explore and we also know that the abyss is kind of close to the surface of mondstat so there is still something to explore there

yea numby is a sentient species
itd be discrimination if they were treated as an inferior being
summer hornet
..........those words make sense, but processing them is throwing me for a loop for some reason
I guess Meowth is probably similar
runic ether
nah its not about that
or like that
trotters are processing extremely complex math when trying to escape from you
they know how to create wormholes in reality
they are a sentient race with an incredibly complicated ability and understanding of mathematics and language
ebon quartz
Right but they don't typically communicate or act like anything more than any other animal trying to run away.
I get what Reginald is saying. The idea that they're smart makes sense but it can be hard to wrap your head around.
runic ether
yeah its like
hm
they can understand shit
but they dont have the vocal chords to communicate in a language we understand
and as a species, they dont care to advance beyond simple scavengers
granted
if i could calculate math to the degree that it allows me to create wormholes and get around that way, i likely wouldnt be spending my time talking to ppl
summer hornet
that just sounds like an extra-reclusive genius
...or debatably like Mew
I get it though, I think
It's just, the whole introduction as super rare enemies- like Metal Slimes or something
And again, the seeming lack of common universal communication methods

that should be okay for moc
this moc cycle is super friendly to blade jingliu and qq
it isnt a bad idea to go blade or qq one half jingliu or qq the othee
*other
ebon quartz
Yeah trying not to swap out my teams too much unless I need to.
The synergy between Blade and Jinglu is really really nice though.
runic ether
u are the one thats bronya-less here right?
glossy latch
... do any of us have Bronya?
slow raft
i dont have bronya either
runic ether
i had gone for jing yuan to build pity for silver wolf and i "lost" the 50/50 to the bronya
ebon quartz
Yeah I'm 40 standard pulls from Bronya.
runic ether
not having bronya is ok
was just wondering cus she works insanely well with blade and jingliu
ebon quartz
Ye
Like if I had Bronya I'd consider swapping out Tingyun, but I do like that ult battery and finally having a carry besides Seele that can appreciate the atk gain lmao.
runic ether
oh yea for sure tingyun is also insanely broken
both are the 2 best supports in the game
hanya would have joined them but
hanya now requires e6 to be sp positive
ebon quartz
I really like Tingyun as well for being a great sp battery.
Like I did a sim universe run with Tingyun, Jinglu, Blade, and Fu Xuan and somehow ended up with nearly max sp constantly after the initial set up.
runic ether
yeah shes super nice for that
bronya is too
especially when speed tuned to go 2-3 times a turn
its why asta and yukong, despite being really good too, fall behind a bit
they are not as sp positive as bronya and tingyun
so their teams require more manual input and care
maybe even requiring the sp +1 set to work perfectly too
ebon quartz
Jinglu triggering Blades follow up attack is really REALLY nice.
runic ether
if bronya can take 3 actions in 1 turn, she can generate a lot of sp
runic ether
Jinglu triggering Blades follow up attack is really REALLY nice.
indeed
try them with yukong
they work really really well with her
ebon quartz
I'll give it a shot, I still need to level up and max out Jinglu first then I'll work on Yukong.
runic ether
yea dps before other roles of course
but dont sleep on yukong
she and asta are quite underrated i find
everyone knows how amazing the other buffers/debuffers are like bronya, brony, tingyun, and pela
ebon quartz
Nah, I figured Asta would be busted.
Yukong just seems a bit too hard to use right...?
Especially when I have Tingyun right there.
glossy latch
Asta is apparently very popular for Kafka hypercarry teams
runic ether
yukong just required smart speed tuning
glossy latch
(Dont ask me why, I just saw the stats lmao)
runic ether
also asta is popular for kafka yeah since asta is secretly a nihility character too
glossy latch
I assume its because burn is a good break element and Asta is good at breaking while still supporting
runic ether
asta also gives insane damage bonus for very little maintenance
she can be sp neutral and the speed buff is nutty
ebon quartz
Yeah I'm just not sure if I have the time or supplies to fine tune speed enough for Yukong.
runic ether
the super tldr for yukonh
*yukong
put her at highest
followed by the 2 dps
then the last
or
put ur sustain at the very very top
ie
lynx at 155
yukong at 154
blade/jingliu both below but fast enough to keep up
this can be lower ofc
the general principle is to have yukong's buffs always fall on blade and jingliu
jingliu cares a lot more about her buffs so ideally, jing 1st then blade
for this team, lynx would wanna be on the +1 sp heal bonus set
rot would be lynx auto -> yukong skill -> jingliu skill -> blade skill
lynx auto -> yukong skill + ult -> jingliu skill + ult she now eats both yukong buffs and should trigger blade here too which should give him his 5th stack and he pops off his skill still under yukong's buff
then it goes to blade
i ran a team with a support blade and it worked extremely well so for moc, it should be good too
ebon quartz
Maybe my Blade 
But yeah this sounds perfect thanks!
And then Fu Xuan with Kafka, Sampo, Luka or however you spell it.
runic ether
its luka yea
if u get guinaifen she is strictly better than luka in a lot of content
asta and serval also work there
idle grove
proper iris
pog
runic ether
But doesn't Luka remove buffs like Pela?
ya
luka is better in single target and when u need to break buffs
ie the disciples of st. medicus
the big boss one
also some boss enemies that buff themselves in st scenarios or vs little shitters
like the blazes flanked by 2 birds
guinaifen is better damage overall though
dot teams as a whole do really well in aoe scenarios which sampo and guinaifen do quite well at in a lot of cases and luka does poorly in these cases
ebon quartz
👍
I do also have I think e6 Serval so honestly having Guinaifen is just more options which is always good.

I dont think I can get C1 Wrio

Also damn not having any luck getting 5* from the standard banner

What weapon/character you hoping for?
long tree
Mona is the best standard unit you could get iirc unless you need a DPS, in which case diluc can fill that role
Weapons is just a matter of what characters your using
glossy latch
Well Wrio is a DPS Im fairly certain
Also I have to say, it feels weird how much less generous Genshin is?
long tree
Yeah it seems they've actively decided to not put in the quality of life shit from honkai
long tree
Well Wrio is a DPS Im fairly certain
You're gonna want 2 dps' eventually
But it's not like a huge pressing issue
long tree
I think theres some f2p hyper bloom teams you can make that pump out insane numbers
Mainly cause the dendro reaction damage numbers are just higher and proc easier than any other element reactions iirc
runic ether
Mona is the best standard unit you could get iirc unless you need a DPS, in whic...
this is not true
mona is great yes but shes not strictly the best
if there was a best standard 5 star its either tighnari or keqing since they both do quicken/aggravate teams really really well
mystic python
Also I have to say, it feels weird how much less generous Genshin is?
The 2 games get pretty comparable income per patch, it's just that Genshin's is a lot more spread out amongst exploration/new quests etc.
Jean's also gonna be a really good standard pull after Furina
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
to be precise
jean and mona will see improvements with furina
if i had to tier them
s: keqing, tighnari
a: mona, jean
b: diluc, qiqi post furina but ehh
c: dehya
reasoning is pretty simple for all of them
keqing and tighnari are very very strong aggravate/quicken quickswap dps
meaning they are very flexible with who they work and can be extended to fit into long and short rotations
they both use strong weapon types and are very relevant elements with numerous good artifact sets
jean and mona get better with furina but jean by herself is still a very solid anemo character who can def shred with viridescent venerer
mona is very good in freeze and is an ok hydro applier with a very unique ult
glossy latch
Gotcha
runic ether
diluc is a good pyro melt/vape dps but hes kinda outclassed by xiangling
theres a funny copypasta about it
qiqi will also improve post furina since shes a healer
the issue is shes cryo
mona is in the best element in the game and jean is in arguably the 2nd or 3rd
cryo isnt bad
but its just not as universal as the aforementioned
and then dehya is a character that mostly only functions with constellations as her own character
but at c0, she wants to be played in super niche archetypes such as burnmelt
or soup neuvilette
u can also get 5 star weapons in standard banner
a lot of them are pretty decent
skyward harp is a great stat stick bow, skyward spine is a great off-field dps polearm for xiangling (like literally 90% of polearms), skyward blade is a strong option for bennett, primordial jade winged spear is really strong for an on-field polearm character (like xiangling), lost prayer to the sacred wind is a solid catalyst for a lot of characters, wolf's gravestone has an insane passive and worth considering on a ton of claymore characters, and aquila favonious is tied as the highest base attack sword that bennett can use

Ah my bad, I also completely forgot Tig was standard banner
glossy latch
Oh, Thoma is apparently bad?
runic ether
Oh, Thoma is apparently bad?
nah
thoma is far from bad
doesnt mean he is the best character in genshin
but hes not bad at all
thoma also has more than enough teams where he is the best unit on the team
for example burgeon teams
at c6, wanderer
c6 thoma is also great with hu tao

Pinging because it's been awhile-
I kind of cheated.
You can stream a non-steam game from your pc to your steam deck. Controls are a bit wonky for no reason with inputs not being consistent like you would expect (it really likes to mix up Y and A buttons for some reason for what is the correct input), and I ran into a weird bug when I try to close it still mostly works.

okay am i the only one who thinks that line is dumb
long tree
It's dumb but funny
old galleon
i'll agree to disagree on it being funny
anyway, my hope is that since aldo's getting these buffs that the other story characters get them too
bc aldo, as much as i wanted him buffed, is the one who needed it the least
altena is drowning in near-unplayability and most of the rest aren't much better
also at risk of ranting again, they really need to improve light/shadow drops from dungeons, esp since this new system relies on your character having at least 80
only having 20/25% chance each run for one drop is really bad
