@maiden fern hey! I'm free now, sorry about that schoolwork sucks
no worries!
okay for the start it would be good to know what adventure rank are you
and to get idea who do you have
you can send screenshot from in game or from genshin wizard bot
I'm adventure rank 25, world level 2
ah that is quite early
you are not at the point yet where you need to worry about teams
Honestly more then anything I'm worried about weapons
I finally got my team figured out but my weapons don't seem like the best
no reason to be, you will get plenty of weapons as you progress through the game
that early i'd focus mostly on weapons that can give you energy recharge
since early on it's really hard to get enough energy for bursts of your characters
Would it be alright if I sent pictures of the weapons I'm using and what I have?
sure
I have this sword for Lynnette
This also is the only good pole arm I have
I also have the Favonius Warbow which is supposedly really good on her
Thanks again by the way
do you have white tassel by any chance?
it's also 3 star
everything else works fine for now, give xinqiu sacrifical or favonious later depending which one has higher refinement
sac works just fine on her
I don't think so
The only other ones I have are the common ones
white tassel is also 3* polearm
so i'd still check
it can be obtained through chests as far as i can remember
but i can double check
Sacrificial is higher refinement, should I swap them?
doesn't matter for now, r3 is usually what we consider to be worthy for these
before r3 it's too inconsistent
you can switch if you want now because it's likely you will keep sac permanently on him
Okay, I read somewhere that sac was the best sword Lynnette could use which I why I was using it on her
And sadly I don't have white tassel
How do ya get that?
it's decent option for her to reset her skill
but fav will be just as fine for team energy
I see, okay and on the plus side fav matches her better anyway lmao
just explore, it's found randomly in chests in liyue
yes
but for now, just enjoy game really
that early you can play whoever you want
i might not play arle for now though because you are still leveling up which means some battles will be hard
especially ascension quests and bosses in quests
and arle can be really hard to play because you can't heal her consistently while in fight
you can keep her leveled for fun but i'd really go with a bit safer dps early on
arle will shine later on when you can farm artifacts and build properly teams
I think I have an artifact down her that heals her when she does damage or when she vanquishes an enemy
Because every time I hit someone it gets rid of a considerable amount of the bond of life
and when survivability is not issue because you deal so much damage enemies die fast anyway
Or does the bond of life just do that anyways?
no you are probably just losing bond of life over time
her kit specifies that she cannot be healed in any way other than her burst during combat
overworld will be fine
but bosses, especially in quest that you can't stop or ascension quests might not be fun at all
up to you of course, i'm just giving advice based on what i would do
Well It says that but doesn't it also say that when she receives healing it gets ride of some of the bond of life? Or am I tripping 😭
because you can't afford to level up too many characters or you will be low on resources really fast
and if you focus on her you won't have other options than to make it work
That makes sense
yes her burst heals her and removes bond of life
which is not good because bond of life is how she deals damage
so every time you heal her, her damage will be lower
Ohh I see
Alright that makes sense
On the plus side I already have a high level fire pole arm
that is good
and remember, even if you don't focus on her right now
it will be easy to catch up in a month or two and fully build her
Right
Well thank you so much for the help! I think I may have overreacted when I upped my world level because all of a sudden all my characters were under level 😅
that is common issue sadly
i was there as well
it's not extremely accurate but for me sort of test to see if i was ready
is when i could defeat most of overworld bosses without trouble and finish bounties in reasonable time
remember tho that we have #・coop-requests channel in case you need any help
people there are willing to come help others farm bosses and domains they need
for now just focus on leveling characters, weapons and their talents
and put on them artifacts you get in overworld
Before I upped the world level I was able to do most bossed solo except for the oceaniod, after that it was really hard to do any of them
Then today someone joined my world when I was in the middle of a boss battle and they helped me defeat like twenty bosses
I don't think I could do that by myself but it was super helpful
oceanid is hard for beginners in general so don't worry about it
yes that is why we have that channel and people with roles that want to help others
just write what you need and ping role of server you are on
Oh good!
I was worried it was a me thing with oceaniod
Thanks so much for your help! Again I think I way overreacted but thanks for reassuring me lmao
I'll just focus on leveling up and getting weapons for right now
oceanid is a mess because it always has a lot of minions that take down your hp really fast
and then birds that want character that can hit them in air but basically no one early game will effectively work
sounds like a good plan
good luck and remember you can always ask us if you need any more help 
Oh one last question
sure
It'll probably be a little while before I'll actually need to do this but what's the boss that drops what's needed to level up Alr?
I'm not even level 40 yet and I'll probably switch her out with xing but I couldn't figure it out and it was bothering me
it's new boss we got this update in fontaine
A centaur-shaped golem forged of marble and brass. Under the hard stone exterior flows Ichor blood. Towering as one who commands a legion, it is ready to trample any foe that might transgress against its honor.\nThe now sunken civilization believed that war was as music, an art of rhythms to be followed. Therefore, one who marshals a legion must...
this one
Oh okay
Thank you, I hadn't come across him yet and I was like "What the hell is this thing?" Cus his silhouette looks insane
yes you have to start new fontaine quest to get to it
Oh I think I started that one on accident 🤣
Every time I pressed on it it took me there but I didn't want to do much in fontaine yet lmao
I guess I'll be focusing on the liyue quests for right now, on the plus side I'm definitely strong enough if not a little op for them right now
yeah the game will offer the best experience if you don't skip a lot if you don't have to
Yeah, I did a side quest in the Dendro kingdom and they were talking about some electro priestess?
I don't even know but after that dialogue happened I was like "Oh I should not be here"
Thanks again for all the help!!! You're the best

no problem, glad i could help 
Hey @maiden fern I've got another question and this might be stupid but I've actually got no clue about this
sure what's up
What dose Elemental mastery do?
I got a new flower artifact so I was messing around with them and that came up a few times and I've got no idea what it dose
I mean one of the sets I'm using increases it by 80 as well so since idk what it dose I thought I should ask
increases damage of reactions, it's good on characters that trigger vaporize (pyro character that hits enemy that has hydro aura), melt (pyro on enemies that have cryo aura), dendro teams and swirl damage
that is on top of my head, so let's say if your arle is in vaporize team, eventually you will want some em on her
Ohhhh okay
Actually she's the one with mastery 80 lol
But having it higher on Lynette would also be good right because she does a lot of swirl? And her wepon allows her to instantly recharge her ability
em is generally good on anemo units unless anemo dps like scara and xiao yes
for support anemo, you will usually just make sure they have enough er to burst consistently and then fully focus on em
Is Lynnette support?
generally yes though sadly, she is nowhere close to sucrose, kazuha or venti
Really? I thought she would be a damage character because of how good her swirl is
swirl deals a lot of damage when character is built properly but the main point of swirl is shredding resistance of swirled element on enemy with viridescent artifact set
anemo dps units don't rely on swirl, instead they are built for crit and deal raw anemo damage
since you heard a lot that she isn't great, here is short explanation why
every anemo can hold vv set and shred resistance to the element, but we are looking at what else they provide
kazuha offers strong grouping which lynette can't do, increases damage of swirled element for your characters and his burst applies swirled element so well he can consistently help with setups - it hits often and has wide aoe compared to lynette's burst that will hit with swirled element only 4-5 (8-10 on c2) times and only enemies closer to her bogglecat box
surcose offers really nice elemental mastery share which is so valuable that in reaction based teams, she can perform better than kazuha. also has advantage of being catalyst user, which means she can swirl with her every hit and makes her viable as driver in some teams (one of them being famous sucrose taser team)
venti tends to fall behind kazuha and sucrose but he has unmatched grouping and in some teams works amazingly
So they all do something else while Lynnette is really only good for switching to her, using her abilities, and then switching to someone else?
yes
she is good for vv res shred
but every other anemo is good for that + something else
lynette has passive that slightly increases team's attack based on how many elements are in the team but it's never worth building around that
Okay well that's good to know, at least I'm using her correctly lmao
I switch to her after I inflict someone with pyro or hydro and use her ability to swirl, multiple times if I can
there is no need to swirl multiple times
though i will be honest
at this point it's not worth for you to use anemo at all
like i said, anemo shines because of vv
resistance shred means enemies will take more damage from swirled element, because their resistance to that element is down
so if you apply pyro, then swirl pyro
for some enemy will take more pyro damage
but that is with specific artifacts set that you have to farm, and farming for artifacts is never recommended until you hit adventure rank 45
so at the moment, anemo in your team doesn't really do anything
Ah
just put someone to help with damage instead
i'm not sure who you have i don't remember you ever sending me screenshot of all characters you have 
you can add kaeya
he and xinqiu will freeze enemies, arle will either melt or vaporize depending if enemy is frozen or not
either way it won't be damage loss
Isn't he redundant because of Diona?
i'd suggest xiangling but it's basically impossible to make her work without bennett especially early on
her er requirements would be extremely high, 250+ most likely and that is impossible to get at the moment
no
kaeya will also deal personal damage
his role is applying element and dealing damage off field
So then what would Diona do?
diona is there just to heal the rest of the team and give arle shield
Other then shield?
nothing else
her role in team is always healer/shielder
if anything she will help kaeya a bit with energy so he gets burst back up easier
diona's burst has slow thick rate, it will apply cryo every 2 seconds so she is not reliable source of cryo application, she is always only really used for survivability
Ohhh
diona does a little of everything but isn't amazing in anything really
her shield is rather weak and her healing is eh could be better
but for now with lack of better options she will work
just focus on getting as much as you can hp on her
you already have er bow on her so for artifacts aim for hp sand, hp goblet and hp circlet
in other teams circlet could be healing bonus but with arle specifically i think you will benefit more from a bit stronger shield rather than more healing
Who would you replace her with?
Is furnit any good?
Also I think I figured something out about self Arlecchino's ability. The more damage you do the more bond of life will drian and this will also decrease her ability cooldown letting you use it again
·When Arlecchino uses a Charged Attack or her Elemental Burst, Balemoon Rising, she will absorb and clear nearby Blood-Debt Directives.
and as for burst
Arlecchino's great wing of Balemoon Bloodfire beats as she absorbs and clears Blood-Debt Directives around her. She deals AoE Pyro DMG before** clearing the CD of All Is Ash** and healing herself.
it's written down in her talents
What dose that mean exactly? I have noticed that after a charged attack it'll active her wepon and make it do more damage
Oh what is that those Xs?
So dose that mean after a charged attack she absorbs them, inflicting herself with all is ash but also making her attacks more powerful, and then it slowly clears?
Or if you use her burst it'll do it atomically
no second is for using her burst
her burst refreses cooldown
her burst will clear her skill cooldown, clear bond of life on her, heal her and deal pyro dmg
this is for when skill is active
i'd advise going to talents and reading through them
i always suggest doing that to familiarize yourself with character because it explains in detail every part of their kit
you can also read her #・faq
Hold on I'll see if I can't get a video of what I'm talking AB
See how after I do a charge attack it refills it, then after each successful attack it goes down?
yes again it's in talents but i will try to sum it up
when her BoL is equal or higher than 30% of her max HP she will enter "masque of the red death" state
when in this state:
- her attacks deal pyro dmg instead of physiscal damage, this infusion can't be overriden
- her normal attacks will consume amount of BoL to deal more damage
- when her BoL is consumed, that is when she uses normal attack, cooldown of her skill decreases for 0.8 seconds
then her burst, as we said already, cleares all BoL, heals her and deals some pyro damage. but since she wants BoL on her all the time, you don't use burst unless you have to
Thank you, I don't think I was understanding the second part which is why I was confused
Thank you for having patience with me 😅
glad i could help 
Hey so I know that you said that I should do stuff in order quest wise but is it alright to farm resources and do bosses and such?
Because I need stuff from Fontaine for Lynnette and Furnit if I decide to level him
yeah you can get to all mats you need pretty fast
i meant archon quests and big quests
for story purposes it's better to try to do them in order
Ohhh okay
Thank you I was worried because I really need to ascend my characters a second time lol
I mean lvl 40 is mostly good rn for the archon quests I'm doing but I'm trying to prepare y'know
Also I feel like zhonglie is going to become the new geo archon, I mean he's already an adeptus and the original geo archon started as an adeptus so it fits
Regardless he's gotta be old as hell 💀
he is old but he was geo archon
don;t think there will be new one because it wouldn't fit what story told us so far
I mean yeah ig but the Geo archon died, surely there'll be a replacement
And he knows so much about the whole funeral thing that I feel like this line of quests is setting him up to be the replacement
Plus then traveler will actually be able to talk to the Geo archon, because right now it's like what are we supposed to do now that one of the seven are dead?
And since he's a Geo adeptus and the og geo archon started as an adeptus
I just feel like there's some connections
But I guess I'll just have to finish the luyie archon quests to find out lmao
he isn’t dead, just changed form
well
finish entire liyue quest
and if you still have confusions by then feel free to dm me
but quest will explain it all
yeah we have #・lore-basement if you want to discuss lore but honestly quest will explain everything
not really great, character that want er don’t benefit from its passive
and characters that would like passive like for example hu tao or arle, don’t need huge amount of er it gives
early on you can put it maybe as er stick on whoever needs it
Is it better then my current option? The black tassel?
but later in game favonious will always outshine it
they are equally bad on arle, don’t waste resources on leveling it up
keep looking for white tassel
Ah okay
Thank you
I'm trying my best, I've opened every chest I've seen thus far but I'm not getting lucky lmao
it appears in exquisite chests and higher, if you are impatient you can check interactive map where you can select chests by rarity
so it shows you only location of chests you need
yes, mihoyo has official interactive map but a lot of people prefer appsample because its better updated and has clearer explanations
well i found out about them not too long after i started playing and i have been playing this game for over 2 years
you can select everything on map from resources like flowers, ores or specifies enemies, over chests and oculuses to random stuff like caves, time trial challenges, quests and so on
out of game on website
how it works is that you select what you need and it shows locations, then when you find specific chest lets say you can mark it as found
makes exploration easier
im on phone so images are a bit cringe but
here is how it looks like if i select lets day geoculus
and if you click on specific one, in comments people leave explanations that. can help find it
indeed
but weapon appearing is rng so don't expect to find it extremely fast
on bright side all these chests give primogems
yes
i did specify it's higher rarity chest
later in newer regions all started giving primogems but some of early game common chests don't give them
idr if it's just mondstadt tho
Oop-
Thanks lmao
Oh btw I was able to ascend everyone on my team, well except for Diona but she's not even lvl 40 yet so I digress
as long as her shield is strong enough to give you enough comfort her level doesn't matter as much
Ahhh
Is that because really she's only good for things that require bows and and other than that for abilities?
Cuz that's what I use her for
Initiating battles at long range, puzzles that require bows, puzzles that require cryo and then I just switched to her mid battle to use her abilities and then switch back
it's because as soon as you have better shielder you will replace her
she is good early game but later in game not really
Oh yeah that too
we have better 4* shielders, for example layla that has second strongest shield
so even if you never get zhongli the moment you get layla diona is out
or, if later in game you become comfortable without shield
with xinqiu for some resistance interruption and properly build team, you will maybe be able to clean abyss with arle without shielder
Whoa
Oh here's an actual good question
Should I focus on the weapon banner to get her weapon or should I just keep pulling on the character banners?
That way I get characters and or get another one of her and coul get her to c1
i will be honest i wouldn't spend pulls on weapons yet
at this point getting more characters will be way more valuable
Ah okay, thank you
@maiden fern so I didn't find white tassel but I did get something called Halberd?
you can use it for now ig
it still doesn't really matter
Oh yeah I finished luiay btw, I'm wrapping up some quests and then it's only to izzuma!
And I've got Alr to lvl 60 and I'm working on ascending Xiq
His stuff is so hard to get 😭
flowers or boss mats?
The flowers, the masks shouldn't take too long to get know that all the enemies that drop them are lvl 40 now
Plus farming with people is a lot of fun and pretty easy lol
his flowers only spawn in 3 locations, so you could maybe try with coop to take some from other people to make it faster
Really???
I mean that actually makes more sense why I was only seeing them around the harbor
but each flower drops 3 so you should be fine even with your world alone
remember to use map i sent you, no reason to wander around and look for them when you can see exact locations where they spawn
Oh good, I thought they were just like in an area I hadn't explored yet, which in liuya is quite a bit haha
Oh yeahhhh
if you unlocked serenitea pot i believe you can also grow them there
tho it takes some time for them to grow
I got the pot but I've made not a ton of progress other then decorating lol
Anyways I've got two goals for characters! A good electro character so I can supercharge as well as vaporize, and a good Cryo character for support and freezing/ melt
Right? That should be what I'm shooting for?
hydro is enough for vaporize, you don't need electro
also consider playstyles, not every character will work in every role
if you are interested in melt, kaeya works just fine
kaeya/rosaria/bennett/xiangling is all 4* team that can still clear abyss
other than that for melt ganyu works but is not needed and wrio can work i think but he requires c1 to really work as character
I've actually been using kaeya lol, his burst is useful
you already have arle that will longterm be good unit, you really only need one or 2 more dps characters to be able to clear everything
honestly i'd suggest whoever you find interesting
if you like character you can make it work
i could suggest you characters like oh this character is really great but it doesn't matter because with proper teams and investment basically everyone can work
so just decide who you like and if you end up needing help to plan team around them i can help you with that
Oh aw, thank you, I'm so thankful that you're so willing to help me. Thank you so much
glad i can help 

For four stars I really love the design of Kuki Shinobu, and Layla
And I like the design of all the five-star characters lol
you can’t specifically pull for 4* sadly
but you will get them eventually
layla is really good shielder and kuki was mid before but she really shines in hyperbloom now
Oh?
Interesting
I do have two Dendro characters
Maybe I'll build a second team around her because I absolutely love her design
Would she be any good in my current team? Alr and Xinqiu @maiden fern
kuki? kuki full em/hydro/dendro/flex works great
though i would maybe consider getting yelan when she has rerun because a lot of your teams want off field hydro and you can’t duplicate xinqiu
so then xinqiu could be in arle team and yelan in hyperbloom or opposite doesnt matter
Oh okay
So she wouldn't be any good in a team with Arlecchino, Xinqiu, and Layla?
(if or when I get Layla that is lol)
no kuki is healer and before dendro there were better healers than her
she really only shines in dendro teams because she can consistently hit dendro cores
apart from raiden she is the best for hyperbloom, but is mostly preferred for her healing
with arle last slot will ideally be bennett
I thought she was sub DPS
even though she can’t be healed by bennett his atk buff is extremely valuable for her
no her scaling is low
kuki is for either hyperbloom teams or as second electro in aggravate
Oh interesting
Well if I get her and a five-star Dendro maybe I'll have to make a team around her lol
are you familiar with keqingmains site?
Uh I don't think so?
it can help you see quickly basics what characters does and what teams they work in
you can search characters either by name or element/weapon
it’s extremely reliable for guides and we helpers use it as well
so while you can of course always still ask us for help it can be good when you are interested in character and what to see what they do and what role they fit the best
Arlecchino — Yelan — Layla — Bennett
Yo that sounds like actually busted
I do like Yelan but she's a 5* so I just didn't mention her lol
Well hopefully I'll get Bennett or Layla (leaning towards Layla because I think she's cool 😭)
id consider saving to buy bennett from the shop honestly
yes in #・genshin-help you can check in pins what character is in the shop each month
Do you just buy the whole character or is it like a pice of them or something?
when you buy its same as if you pulled character on a banner
if you didn’t have them you get character, if you have them already you get one constellation
Ohhhh
I GOT WHITE TASSEL!!!
Finally!!!
Now I've get to ascend and lvl it lol
Bcs rn it's still kot as good as Halberd
I ended up getting it from a highest rarity chest, maybe I should be looking for those primarily?
Right but still
you can try ig tho i'd just explore in general
Yeah, but doing it one level at a time will make the process a bit less... Chaotic lmao

whatever works the best for you but also don't feel too pressured to refine it immediately
it's not so important atm and you will have plenty of time later to explore
for me early game only important part of exploration is statues to max stamina
Honestly i just need to ascend it, but I missed my chance to get what I need yesterday, so I'll have to do it Sunday unfortunately 
that is just one day of waiting so you are fine
you can farm bosses in the meantime
character level, weapons and talents are all important
ideally you want your dps on max level for your rank (can keep them 1 or 2 levels lower to accumulate exp while playing) and supports can stay 10 levels lower
but have important talents for them on the maximum level
Actually both of my mains are lvl 60 right now
And I'm just now starting to get to Inazuma
So that's a little overkill huh 💀
And my abilities for Xinq are mad for my adventure level, that being two haha
But Arlecchino I need to find that domain that gives the thing she needs cus I can't lvl hers at all yet
i don’t think level can be overkill in this game
every world level has enemy level and your characters have limit how high their level can be
so by keeping characters high you are making game easier for yourself
id rather have that than be stuck on quests because quest boss is too hard to kill
happens more than you’d imagine
Okay I've readjusted my team, I still need to lvl and stuff and I'll need your opinion on weapons later but for right now I've got Arlecchino as my main DPS, Xinq for Vaporize and some healing, Keya for Freeze and melt and some support with his burst, and Lisa for Supercharge and idk what the reaction with water is called lol. Plus I'm on Inazuma so Lisa is useful for puzzles and such
if you need lisa for puzzles that is fine but don’t bother with her as part of team because her energy requirements are basically impossible to manage without battery
she is usually played as burst support but she needs too much energy to get her burst back so it’s not really the best option
since your arle is c0 id probably stick with arle/xinqiu/kaeya/diona for now
