[open pasture]

Yeah, almost 2 years

As you can see, also very low achievement count xD

[ionic coyote]

wow, is all that work worth it to have more characters to play with?

[open pasture]

I've thought of dropping the Asia account but I do enjoy getting to play basically all chars, and chars I have in more than one account on different builds/teams (only chars I don't have in any account are Klee and Eula)

[open pasture]

You're overestimating the amount of work it takes

It's like 15 minutes max to do dailies

Most events also take an hour max, even main events if you just spam click through them are usually done in under an hour and a half (biggest exception is summer events, aka GAA and the newest one)

[ionic coyote]

I suppose it seems manageable for you

[open pasture]

30 minutes extra from my main account does seem pretty reasonable

[ionic coyote]

personally though grind bores me, and can't imagine grinding extra in parallel

[open pasture]

I do sit down and do more stuff from time to time (mostly involving collecting regional specialties or farming mobs) but it's not something I do often, usually not more than once a week lmao)

[ionic coyote]

alright

[open pasture]

I mean, tbh most of the game past some point consists of grinding anyways so xD

So a little bit more is worth it for me to get to play all chars and to occasionally play with friends

(Aka the two people I consider friends and that I've occasionally played with are one on EU and one on Asia)

[ionic coyote]

well, gotcha

[ember oasis]

my alt accounts are rotting lol

[zinc violet]

I made one alt account and could not get very far because I simply lost motivation to redo everything

[ember oasis]

i have my 'murican acocunt that's doing aight

[charred mirage]

i have an alt that i use to record quests i had already done on my main by the time i started being able to record
progress is slow though as it's not a priority

[ionic coyote]

my only other server I started somewhat over a year ago... and immediately left it there

aaaand the first thing I just did I jumped off a ledge... trying to open the glider

[ember oasis]

yeah that happened a lot

[cyan imp]

kekw im bottom 33% xD at start i had a good run, with failing first 50:50, then winning next 5, then lost 1, then won 1, and from then it was all downhill lol 9 losses in a row -.-
but i won it now on furina's banner

[candid elm]

wow, that is a long streak

I also hope that they might be nice and help me getting both Ayaka and Raiden in 4.3

[tribal breach]

yooo

[ember oasis]

nicee

[tribal breach]

my luck is insane today

day 2 of gathering books for Navia

[tribal breach]

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of maréchaussée. I try to use vermillion. Maréchaussée deals more damage. I try to use golden troupe. Maréchaussée deals more damage. I try to use shimenawa. Maréchaussée deals more damage. I want to use navia. Her best set is maréchaussée. I want to play wanderer, noelle. They both want maréchaussée.

It grabs me by the throat. I use all my resin farming it. I use my fragile for it. I spend primo refreshes. I finally get a decent set. I pull furina. "One of me isn't enough" She tells me. "Give me constellations." She grabs my remaining primos and forces me to pull for her c2. "You just need to farm more. Everyone can deal more damage with maréchaussée."

I can't farm this set, I don't have enough resin or primos. Furina grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs my carries. She says "Shower me with praise." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but pure, 36% crit rate. What a cruel world.

[ember oasis]

cool man

it's that xiangling one lol

[ionic coyote]

lmao and I'm here like:
I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Marechaussee. I keep trying to farm Golden Troupe and all I get is Marechaussee, Marechaussee, and more of the fking Marechaussee

[tribal breach]

opposite for me

i got a top 1% Yae before getting one working Marechaussee set

[tribal breach]

end of day Navia books

got a looong way to go..

[neat kindle]

109 more purples

[simple dawn]

betrayal

[tribal breach]

surely 5 more weeks is enough 🙂

[empty jacinth]

On average, each talent domain run should net you 1.11 gold

So totally doable

109/1.11 = 98ish run (1960 resin or 11 days)

Actually faster than my Neuvillette/furina team on first half

Riptide OP against the pyro abyss lecters

[calm pagoda]

who would've guessed, more hydro is better

[agile swallow]

Against a lectern? No one

[calm pagoda]

woah when did they turn into things they held books

[fast pike]

Lol, yolo goblet 4 Line piece all Rolls into HP%

Is ATK goblet on Lyney now better than pyro with furina?

Any golden troupe Pyro User yet?

[calm pagoda]

dehya obviously

[tribal breach]

guys i dont like that ZZZ is intriguing me

3 years into Genshin and ive still never played another gacha game once

[fast pike]

Pretty much the same for me gave tower of omegalul fantasy a try for like 45 min once but that's pretty much it

[tribal breach]

absolute, sheer disappointment

[fast pike]

So I had a genius idea, how about GT Zhongli pillar resonance with Geo traveler +Furina and yelans DMG buffs

Only issue is I don't have C6 zhongli so getting fanfare stacks in later Chambers for furina doesn't work anymore

[neat kindle]

U can just c6 furina instead

[harsh swift]

[calm pagoda]

and it'll be better value

[calm pagoda]

sadness

[fast pike]

Unlucky, try again in 2 years

[agile swallow]

Today event was easy

I went to qince and pineconed my way in

[ionic coyote]

lmao you get 3 per each of those. almost feels like cheating.

[agile swallow]

I lit didn't move on qingce brigde

I just stood there, and pum

[ionic coyote]

weird, I walked through the village from its main teleport and the camera didn't catch a single thing, until I started shaking the shelves for the cabbages and sunsetias

[drowsy spoke]

It might seem crazy what i'm about to say-

[twilit fossil]

is there context? without context you're definitely sounding crazy.

[agile swallow]

Do you know western tp? The one where you go for treasure hunter badges?

[ionic coyote]

yeah, though you said "went to qince" and the western one is for Bishui Plain, so I assumed you meant the actual Qingce one 😄

[agile swallow]

Fr?

This one

It says qingce

[agile swallow]

Man when

Man when

[ionic coyote]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lmao yeah, there's 9 pinecones on that bridge and around 😄

[agile swallow]

That's the place I go for pinecones

That's the best place, always 3 blue dishes

[simple dawn]

of course the 3 liner with triple flat have a nice roll

[ionic coyote]

nice!

[dapper radish]

Hate those em rolls

[tribal breach]

wish i had EL

[limpid crow]

Nice build though

Good percentage

[sonic rock]

Received one new achievement from Sumeru today. All commissions from Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma are all completed.

[vast valley]

[tribal breach]

one day ill do my achievements

[simple dawn]

[agile swallow]

Dude, any blue birds

[sacred idol]

In Sumeru there is

[agile swallow]

Tysm

[sacred idol]

Np

[agile swallow]

Helpful comment

Go to the biggest region

Yeah, sounds about right

[charred mirage]

if you need more blue animals: there's frogs near the pond with tons of calla lilies in mond
and the glowing thingies in the chasm also count

[agile swallow]

Nah, for the event

Blue birb

[charred mirage]

this is for the event
it said mainly blue animals

[eager shore]

I'm so unlucky these days

[neat kindle]

u look at me and tell me there's a god

[harsh swift]

[simple dawn]

dang, rough

3 liner, jm scared

[agile swallow]

Uh, lmao

At the end, hydro cristalflies worked

[neat kindle]

U can literally go to the place with 10 otters lol

Finish it in one shot

[simple dawn]

yeap, i remember this place, tho my ass didn't remember where

should have yt guide instead of scout through fontaine sea where it might be

[agile swallow]

Where lol?

Lmaoooo

Is that place for real?

Lmaooooooo

[fast pike]

They are only there after you free 7 of them for hidden chests beforehand

[limpid crow]

First HP sands with ≥35 CV since this domain dropped

[simple dawn]

awesome

[limpid crow]

ty ty

[agile swallow]

I'm bugged

I'm gonna get ayato in a week

But I'm kinda biased to get his r1

Depending if I lose the 50/50

f2p, btw

[simple dawn]

😭

i just need 1 er vv sand, but mihoyo keep giving me double crit vv sand thats not er

[tribal breach]

todays runs

a whopping 1 philosophy out of 7 condensed runs 🙂

93 more to go

woah woah woah wait i was supposed to be playing this film event every day??

[limpid crow]

Potentially, yeah

[ionic coyote]

yes, you were also supposed to read the event info

[limpid crow]

You can get cards gifted/traded to you, I think

[tribal breach]

bro i never do events until the last few days i dont even look at them

[ionic coyote]

but people may have excess fragments so they may share with you still

[tribal breach]

cause normally it takes like 5 days for them to release all of the event content so i just wait until its all out and do it all at once

[ionic coyote]

yeah same, but I unlock/read them on day 1, then do them later

[agile swallow]

Last time, I got a nightmare and I thought I was you
Man he's lit

almost perfect

just a little bit more crit dmg

[limpid crow]

Congrats!

[simple dawn]

3 liner, useable i guess

[ionic coyote]

sure, seems like the only flat stat that got an upgrade still was favorable

btw the optimizer that people talk about, is it frzyc.github.io?

[open pasture]

Yup

[ionic coyote]

ty

[tribal breach]

its joever

there is no easter bunny
there is no tooth fairy
and there is no day 1 triple crown Navia

[limpid crow]

Thanks for reminding me, forgot I need to farm that again this week

[calm pagoda]

got the not-furina ones

sigh

gotta spend solvent

[true crater]

idk its really not a problem for me

i have like 50 solvents

dunno wher they all come from

[ionic coyote]

mostly only trounce domains. they just usually end up near the end of the loot list, off the screen

I too got around 50 cause whenever they released a new trounce domain I'd do it in the weekly 3/3 until I got around 10-20 assorted pieces

so nearly always got enough to choose from

[slate smelt]

You can buy from shop also

[true crater]

u cant

u can only buy dust

not the dream solvents

i hav max 2000 dust

[tribal breach]

baby numbers

82 to go

[true crater]

o is that taylor swift mats

[tribal breach]

oh and while im on

[true crater]

dam lol

[tribal breach]

i farmed every weekly boss until i got 10 of every billet

[true crater]

i havnt done weeklies for like a year cos i just hav nobody to level with those mats

[tribal breach]

yeah...

i have some excess

[tribal breach]

and yeah i was trying to triple crown her on day 1 but i only got two drops from the whale all three weeks its been out

first time ever(?) ive been weekly boss locked on talents

tbf i dont typically triple crown a character on release but i cant remember this happening for anyone else

i hope they buff Navia again in the beta

shes like, okay right now

i dont hate her playstyle as it is rn but i also dont like it

if it stays as it is then ill do something like Navia Ningguang flex flex with Ningguang as main dps and crystallize-maker and using Navia as a Skill nuke between rotations

[vagrant hamlet]

Baby numbers

[tribal breach]

found someone who does every weekly boss every week

[vagrant hamlet]

Never had to use them all these time

[tribal breach]

ive used like 20 maybe

[true crater]

wtf lol

[true crater]

happened to me with nahida

and now with furina

the only two new chars iv pulled since sumeru began actually

lol

[agile swallow]

You could have been a 30+!

But hellish XL piece

[charred mirage]

cope hat is cope
but i get 6 cr more using this 4pc set and a different goblet
also whooping +19% more er
i can live loosing those 4 CDmg

[fast pike]

An upgrade, but missed 50cv piece opportunity

[fast pike]

You can craft the f2p Venti gadget with those

[daring sorrel]

O

[fast pike]

300 Gold artifacts waiting to be adopted

[tribal breach]

300 Gold artifacts waiting to be thrown into the Strongbox

[tribal breach]

Also those were actually meant to ascend Venti I just never finished

I've had Venti since 1.4 and he's still level 80

[fast pike]

If you keep recycling it's up to 450 pieces, probably 10-20 good ones with potential and if you're lucky 5-8 will even roll good

[tribal breach]

Im saving all my fragiles till Navia domain

All bad pieces will be strongboxed into husk

[remote otter]

lies

[tribal breach]

No not lies that's my experience too

[remote otter]

stuck in the emblem mines and none of them have been good

1.5 years of emblem

[tribal breach]

3.0 I strongboxed around 400 artifacts into Thundering Fury and got like 6 good pieces

4.0 I strongboxed about 450 into Emblem and got like 5 good pieces

Have fun on top of the mountain with no water, no electricity, no wifi

[tribal breach]

I will

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

(Please do not smite me for legal reasons that is a joke)

[agile swallow]

True, tho

[heavy oyster]

Я тут одна русскоязычная..

[tribal breach]

((I do not align with the unabomber))

[agile swallow]

XDDDDD

[charred mirage]

sacrifice more to Rngesus

[remote otter]

[charred mirage]

believe

[tribal breach]

You just gotta learn to be content with good instead of the best

[charred mirage]

i was finally blessed with a cope hat today
but it was good enough to allow me to finally swap my gears

[tribal breach]

I haven't learned this, but it's probably helpful

7th place is not good enough

[charred mirage]

i went from this

[tribal breach]

I must be NUMBER ONE

[charred mirage]

to this

atk difference is just 1 normal and 1 ca away

but that more er is

[tribal breach]

One day I will have Redhorn

[charred mirage]

Hopefully soon
amd hopefully paird with a good weapon

[tribal breach]

Haha...

[charred mirage]

1 donut and vortex crap are out of the way for a while now

[tribal breach]

Best ideal pairing would have been Engulfing but apparently that's not happening now

Next ideal pairing is Neuvillette weapon probably

Which isn't too unreasonable since Itto will probably not make an appearance until 4.5 at the earliest now

[charred mirage]

pjc is nice
lofi maybe?
kagura is ok i guess
Wanderer's bell, too
Nahida's thing maybe to also use on melt wrio

mistsplitter is also pretty good

ayoyo and cyno weapons are out because 2nd half

bacon would be good
but rip Dehya

[tribal breach]

I have pjc and lofi

[charred mirage]

more pjc isn't bad though
more lofi would be less awesome for sure

[tribal breach]

I have no use for another pjc

Alhaitham got lofi
Ayato got Haran
Xingqiu got pjc

[charred mirage]

Kaeya exists

if i had your setup that's probably who I'd give another pjc copy to lol

or go and make a physical Kirara for memes

[neat kindle]

i need a bow for tighnari if i'm ever building him

but hp prob never getting a rerun so

[charred mirage]

i gave my tighnari my tartag's old bp bow

[neat kindle]

i'm nto building him now so he can just

idk

rot with slingshot for abit

[charred mirage]

mine has a rather cope build because i don't really use him much
I've been thinking about maybe making myself a spreadsheet with all chars and filling in what stats i want them to have

then just working on that

like with stats needed for a decent build that's usable in f12 abyss just fine in whatever team

whatever being something that actually fits synergy wise

[fast pike]

Summit shaper trust

[tribal breach]

haha...

tried to get Kirara and got a 9 pity Jean

[charred mirage]

she's eventually going to deliver herself to you

[tribal breach]

refused to pull after that cause i didnt want to take any risks on my guarantee

and im glad i did

[charred mirage]

smart choice

[charred mirage]

Alhaitham likes smart people

[tribal breach]

guess so because i also won lofi

[charred mirage]

i skipped Dori's release because i didn't wanr any of the 5*

[tribal breach]

wish my circlet luck wasnt absolutely garbage in that domain

[charred mirage]

then during the event where she was handed out for free
1 day before the event gave her to me
i got her from standard

[tribal breach]

curse of Dori

[harsh swift]

[tribal breach]

this is my highest

[charred mirage]

i don't keep track past c6

[tribal breach]

i like numbers

👁️ 👁️

anyway i got on to show my weapon collection

[charred mirage]

i mean
i don't use pmoe to track my wishes
partly due to me being on console
partly because I actually don't care
i count myself while the banner is on and if i deem the numbers to be important i just remember them

[tribal breach]

i need more catalysts

[charred mirage]

that amount of wgs

[tribal breach]

tried to get Neuv weapon but got a second Homa

[tribal breach]

Capitano for sure trust

[charred mirage]

weapons i wouldn't mind from standard:
more Skyward harp
wgs
that catalyst that's not og donut

[tribal breach]

still dont have Harp or Atlas, those are my two most wanted standard

PJWS would be nice but i already have two Homa's so i dont really care

[charred mirage]

i have 1 harp
2x amos...

[charred mirage]

Skyward onehanded and twohanded

[tribal breach]

i hate getting characters on standard

give me more weapons

[charred mirage]

ikr

[tribal breach]

like look at that weapon to character ratio i desperately want more weapons

[charred mirage]

I'm actually good on weapons, even if the vast majority is 4*
i just need more ore to level them

because I refuse to fodder any leveled weapon
i did it once and ended up having to level the exact same type again later

that's not going to repeat itself

if that means i have some random lvl 90 rust or lvl 90 sapwood blade in my inventory without any current use then so be it

[charred mirage]

mine is 1/1/1

[tribal breach]

also yeah i have a very large quantity of high level 4 star weapons that arent being used

[charred mirage]

my Jean ate all my current ores

can't let that poor girl stay like that LOL

[tribal breach]

actually not as many arent being used as i thought, but theres still a good amount

ill build Jean eventually

[charred mirage]

yes i took her to f12 with those exact gears

[tribal breach]

i didnt get Furina so i still dont care enough yet

[charred mirage]

I'm just trying to get her to workable

when I'll get around to making that excel sheet of stats to aim for i will probably eventually rework her

i just need to sit down and research all chars for a day or or so to figure those "must have to be decent " stats out

[fast pike]

Why aren't you using festering desire on furina?

[tribal breach]

i dont have Furina

i got

holding my guarantee for Navia and extra savings for Redhorn, ill get Furina in 4.6 when she reruns

4.4 isnt looking too interesting to me tbh so it might be a saving patch, and considering its Lantern Rite that is a lot of savings

4.5 allegedly has Chiori who is another geo so she will be pulled regardless of rarity

[charred mirage]

i have the one true geo queen
don't need more - for now

[tribal breach]

geo supremacy

cant forget the supports

Noelle is currently holding onto Navia's build so we ignore her

[charred mirage]

excuse the ass lighting

❤️

[tribal breach]

damn you got the $400 figure

[charred mirage]

I'm happy and sad hoyo doesn't release more of them

she was the last time i actually used up my self-imposed monthly allowance for fun stuff

With saving up

[tribal breach]

id probably only get one if it was Itto or maybe Zhongli

[charred mirage]

normally I'm not even halfway through

there's zhongs
but not official ones

and you might see very disturbing nsfw stuff from other franchises while looking for him

but there's been stuff like

or

[tribal breach]

oh i know, its impossible to look for figures without scrolling past women with little to no clothes on

[charred mirage]

i saw a... mario...

[tribal breach]

ah

[charred mirage]

bdsm version

if you know what i mean

that controller-kini peach is nothing in comparison

[tribal breach]

or "those" one piece figures

[fast pike]

Literal manboobs

[charred mirage]

but i was finally able to find a tartags with a proper swf option
now he just needs to actually release

[neat kindle]

Kafka figs where it at now

[charred mirage]

and then i still need that McBurn from trails
and i'm happy

[tribal breach]

imagine playing other gacha games 🤢

[fast pike]

Imagine playing genshin

[tribal breach]

one has been enough for me for the last 3 years

[fast pike]

[tribal breach]

👁️ 👁️

[charred mirage]

eh Kafka looks nice i guess?
but sr didn't click with me

i find it very funny however if people complain about genshin not having content, when they play starrail
because that seems to have even less content

[neat kindle]

the figures are uh

[harsh swift]

"high quality"

[fast pike]

10min mobile game

[charred mirage]

i've seen way worse

[tribal breach]

yet hsr is making even more money than genshin

[fast pike]

Also HSR still feels kinda new, but twitch and YouTube numbers are already kinda dropping, so I'm unsure how relevant it can remain long term

[tribal breach]

maybe not as of Furina release but for the past few months HSR and Genshin have been #1 and #2 highest grossing mobile games respectively

you'd think maybe Hoyo would give us some QoL with all that money theyre making...

[fast pike]

Gacha players are mostly male, so when waifu banner are up, revenue is up, genshin was pretty much in a waifu draught since dehya till Furina and now it's HSR turn

[tribal breach]

NAVIA THE PATTERN BREAKER
NAVIA THE TRENDSETTER

[charred mirage]

idk personally instead of a gendered-streak
i'd prefer more balance in new chars
like 1 f then 1 m
or 2f then 1 m then 1 f then 2m
or smth like that

[tribal breach]

pretend Furina doesnt exist btw

[neat kindle]

they alternate between hsr and jenshin

u only have so much money to spend

[fast pike]

I'm already happy how hoyoverse managed to create a successful gacha game that's not pandering to degenerate otaku players of any gender, before genshin impact the market was filled with either waifu or husbando collector games only

[neat kindle]

and they know lots of people play both games

so its' a smart strat

[charred mirage]

honkai impact is also still strong i think?
at least i get bombarded with ads from time to time

[fast pike]

Deleted from irminsul

[tribal breach]

still no actually buff models though, and no tall female dps 😦

[neat kindle]

honkai has never been that popular

but mhy loves the ip

there are buff models

you just can't play them

[harsh swift]

[fast pike]

I don't think HI3rd was ever one of the top gacha games, compared to fgo, ark nights or azurlane, but then again I never played any gacha game before genshin impact, so my perception might not be accurate

[tribal breach]

playable Liben when

[fast pike]

Eula

[tribal breach]

End User License Agreement? what are you talking about?

[charred mirage]

neither did i
i just see that it's been running for rather long and it's still ongoing
if they didn't make money off it they'd probably have dumped it by now?

[fast pike]

I think the development costs for HI3rd aren't that high, the levels look like PS2 stuff, they basically just make pretty waifu characters and great short animations they post on YouTube which sets the game apart from any other generic gacha

[charred mirage]

not like genshin has the best graphics either
and thankfully not everyone is "graphics > rest"

if anything i hate too realistic graphics in games, it just looks meh to me

[fast pike]

I think genshin has pretty great visuals and world design if you're not playing on a potato smartphone

[true crater]

one of the best looking games imo

genshin is extremely photogenic

[fast pike]

And it being an open world is a huge difference

[true crater]

u can take a screenshot almost anywhere and it looks great

[charred mirage]

a game can look good without having top-notch hyperrealistic visuals though

[neat kindle]

jenshin doesn't have hyperrealistic visuals

it's anime style

[fast pike]

Genshin is exactly that, it catches the anime aesthetic better than any other rpg in a long time apart from maybe dragon quest games

[charred mirage]

or I'm just too used to being around people where "good graphics = more hyperrealistic visuals"

[neat kindle]

if i wanted hyperrealistic visuals

i'd go out and touch grass

[fast pike]

Lots of people play fortnite, Minecraft and roblox

[charred mirage]

[true crater]

the issue with realism is that it takes so much of the budget that u lose out on everything else that would make it immersive

like actual interactions

[charred mirage]

i have never heard anyone call the graphics of either of those games good though xD

[fast pike]

Interactive movie like the naughty dog games

[true crater]

for example theres not actually many 'realistic graphic' games where grass moves when u touch it

lol

[fast pike]

That wasn't my point, not that many people actually care about graphics as much as you might think

[true crater]

i spent like 5 minutes touching one little bush at start of half life alyx

[true crater]

it seems so stupid when i actually say it, but its amazing that somewhat real looking foliage actually moves when i go touch it

its fascinating

[charred mirage]

i didn't say I think that everyone or close to that does though?
"not everyone" is a not closer specified number of people that's smaller than "everyone"
because I can't specify

so i have to use the next best thing i can say

[true crater]

"graphics" is such an ambiguous term

i think everyone cares about graphics

but i dont think most people would care about realism

[charred mirage]

i only care about it to the point that makes it so i can recognize what is what

[true crater]

the important thing about graphics is consistency

[tribal breach]

if it looks good and doesnt set my computer on fire im alright with it

[charred mirage]

beyond that? depends on how the game overall feels to play

[true crater]

you would care if the game actually looked bad

[fast pike]

I just find it cringe to act like everyone else is stupid and only cares about graphics, while the gaming community actually has a pretty good grasp on what's actually good and when companies pull bullshit they get called out on the internet super fast, like with no man's sky and cyberpunk when those games released, sure there was hype before the release, but most people had a realistic grasp of those games very fast

[charred mirage]

idk
this doesn't look good imo
i still played it

cause the gameplay was fun

[true crater]

it doesnt look bad imo

at least its consistent

[tribal breach]

why pay $70 for a mid new title when you can buy Terraria for the low price of just $10 and install free mods that more than double the games content 🙂

(i am a Terraria addict)

[true crater]

terraria looks a LOT better now than it did a few years ago

[charred mirage]

because i just don't like building games xD

[true crater]

they added a lot of small stuff that really improved it

[tribal breach]

i wouldnt say "a few" years ago id say many years ago

ive been playing Terraria for like 7 years and yes there have been graphical improvements in that time but i still thought it was fine as of 1.3

[charred mirage]

how does that even fit into the discussion?

[tribal breach]

i didnt play Terraria before 1.3 but ive seen footage and i do agree that before 1.3 the game was pretty bland

and yes it does look a lot better now but the graphics werent a dealbreaker in the first place, for me at least

[true crater]

even after 1.3

last few years they added a ton of small details

like trees and foliage waving and stuff

more environment particles

really added a lot

they redid lighting too iirc

[fast pike]

I'm just tired of hearing the same old complaint from people how everyone just cares about graphics when it's not true

[charred mirage]

except no one said that was the case?

[true crater]

cyberpunk is actually cool tho bcos its so cutting edge

[charred mirage]

or did i miss some between-the-lines-garbage again?

[tribal breach]

ill consider Cyberpunk whenever i upgrade my gpu

i think my little ol 1060 would blow up if i tried to play cyberpunk

[fast pike]

Imagine people disagreeing with you exist

[tribal breach]

its the only part of my pc that isnt "modern" because the gpu market is so fucked that it would cost half as much as the entire rest of the pc for just the one part

[tribal breach]

which is saying a lot when i have a watercooled 5800x, 32 gigs of ram and 3tb of gen 4 m.2 storage

[charred mirage]

i don't have to imagine that because i know that to be the case 🤷‍♂️
that was an actual question btw, i'm 100% illiterate to between-the-lines-stuff

say it the way you mean it or i won't get it

[fast pike]

Apparently your grasp of sarcasm is not very good, let's just leave it at that

[charred mirage]

no it's not
never has been
most likely never will be
just not the way my brain works

[true crater]

geez why so hostil

u guys r literly agreeing on graphics

[tribal breach]

anyway salt time

i hate farming for talent books this shit consumes so much resin

[charred mirage]

now imagine farming mond for talent books

[tribal breach]

i could be farming Husk right now but nooooo gotta save up all my condensed for the days that Navia's talents are open

[true crater]

still farming husk

is mh not better

since u can strongbox husk

even albedo wants gt now

[tribal breach]

i have no more use for MH

Husk is 1% better than GT

[charred mirage]

isn't this only with spindle?

[true crater]

dang

[fast pike]

Another reason for Eula

[true crater]

i guess im underestimating husk

[tribal breach]

i already have a top 2% Albedo on Husk

[true crater]

2% isnt 1%

[tribal breach]

see no reason to farm a new set

[true crater]

smh

[tribal breach]

hey hey thats what Strongboxing is for

once i get Redhorn i think all my Husk users will go up in rank

[charred mirage]

lolwhat

[fast pike]

Legit opinion

[tribal breach]

Redhorn means Itto's build is solidified which means i can throw ALL my husk artifacts into Optimizer for everyone else

pretend thats Redhorn

[true crater]

well hes more justified in saying that than other since mimee made akasha.cv

[fast pike]

140% er category

[tribal breach]

shush

[true crater]

er is ok

itto wants some er no?

[tribal breach]

(140 is super overkill with C2)

[true crater]

o

[fast pike]

Competing with absolutely fucking nobody🙈

[charred mirage]

top 10 is still really ridiculous to achieve

[true crater]

my venti dropped out of top 10

[charred mirage]

an nowhere near needed for even f12

[true crater]

r u ar45 yet

[tribal breach]

my current Serpent Spine build has literally 0 ER rolls, but C2 and Exile Fav Gorou still gets burst off rotation against anything but a boss

this will be what i actually run when i get Redhorn though

[true crater]

if ur past ar45 then u cant f12 cos dendro + national go brrr

[fast pike]

Akasha Leaderboards are irrelevant, at the end of the day you can have a high ranking for some comp and setup you can't actually play cause you don't have the supports or that weapon

[true crater]

yea im all for actually restricted lbs

currently u just need the char to place on all lbs

[charred mirage]

me with tartags/kuki lulz-duo side 1: 🤷‍♂️

[true crater]

i think its reasonable to only place in lb with right weapon if u have it

[fast pike]

It's like pretending to have a Lamborghini then you could get hot chicks

[charred mirage]

i'd take the car
i can at least sell that one

[true crater]

there r places u can rent one for that

[tribal breach]

that only stops a few of my builds

Yae is hilarious to me i threw whatever GT i got while farming Neuvillette on her and now shes top 1%

[fast pike]

Where is your zhongli at? Fake Geo Main

[tribal breach]

my Zhongli build has not changed since like 1.4

[fast pike]

Garbage

Are you even trying at this point

[tribal breach]

for Zhongli, no

he doesnt use Husk

[true crater]

i hav all weapon except venti who doesnt have an elegy lb for some reason, and my zhongli is fav which is the only good weapon on him change my mind

[fast pike]

That should actually make it easier if you were a normal person that used resin efficiently

[tribal breach]

boooooo

meta farming is for loooosers

ill be going from one Geo + bad healing set domain to a new Geo + bad healing set domain

[true crater]

lol

[tribal breach]

except this geo set has even fewer users than the last one

literally only Navia and Ningguang can use it, its useless on every other geo

[fast pike]

Sounds like a great deal for you

[tribal breach]

yes!

actually they buffed the healing set this week in beta but i literally only read Navia's changes

i still dont even know what Chevrolet's kit does

[fast pike]

Get fucked by hoyoverse, don't forget to say thanks

[tribal breach]

ok the healing set is still bad

it contradicts itself

its an "ammo" type of buff like Yunjin, meaning it favors low damage fast speed types of attacks, except it was changed to only have 5 uses of the buff

5 attacks every 6 seconds get a small buff

[fast pike]

So like shenhe buff

[tribal breach]

well i guess technically it isnt "small" but its only good on characters with high dmg%

[fast pike]

6s cooldown isn't that bad, for some claymore chars that's almost 100% uptime

[tribal breach]

yeah but like small in comparison

[fast pike]

Probably doubles Freminets dps

[tribal breach]

looking at TL9 Shenhe with 3500 atk you get about 2700 damage added, this set max buff is 1200

and it requires a healer who can do 15k healing every 6 seconds to maintain uptime

who can even keep up with that? C1 Baizhu?

[agile swallow]

Barbs

[tribal breach]

if you juggle C1 Baizhu's skill correctly you can use it every 5 seconds

[agile swallow]

But you'll have to switch like a mf

[tribal breach]

her skill has less than 50% uptime

[agile swallow]

Sacs barbie

Bennett can too

Jean would be top

Maiden jean

[tribal breach]

alright lets learn what Chevrolet does cause i havent read her kit a single time

shoutout super low base atk 4 stars we sure love to see it

[fast pike]

Just pull some extra 5 star weapons to compensate

[tribal breach]

wow what a surprise, the low base atk hp ascension 4 star scales their damage with... atk!!!!

overload support is interesting but offers little besides res shred

[fast pike]

Hoyoverse has gotten more generous with 4 star ascension stats though

Charlotte gets ATK% which actually helps her healing unlike Diona with cryo DMG bonus, cause obviously she was intended as a DPS

[tribal breach]

i could see her getting some interesting role in Rational replacing Xingqiu

most definitely a dps loss but still slots in well

[tribal breach]

oh especially at C1

C4 is funny you can kind of do like a rapid fire nuke for a few seconds

E Q E E swap

yeah it seems like her kit and cons is aiming to compensate for the dps loss of vaporize by stacking big amounts of buffs

at C6 she can offer 40% attack, 60% dmg bonus and 40% res shred

pretty big buffs but they mean no cc in an overload team

[ember oasis]

yeah i'm in the middle of a husk gt dillemna right now lol

waited a long time to get husk in the strongbox and now some other set is allegedly better pre-c2

[tribal breach]

Chevrolet is yet another Homa user ofc

[ember oasis]

who is that, sorry?

[tribal breach]

Husk and GT are practically equivalent, use whatever has better stats

[tribal breach]

Chevreuse

[ember oasis]

thing is, i'm already farming GT for fischl and it seems to be a better option to strongbox for my 4 emblem users instead of a sole husk user

[tribal breach]

do you want to be normal and efficient or do you want to be deranged (like me)

[ember oasis]

this piece is hard carrying my set...

[tribal breach]

you should give it to me

[ember oasis]

it's my pride and joy

[tribal breach]

also wait what weapon

[ember oasis]

depends on how deranged we are spekaing

i am less concerned with spiral abyss and more concerned with giving my characters usable sets just to see numbers out of them

[tribal breach]

youre talking to the guy who has spent half of his crowns on Geo units and is still farming the Husk domain in version 4.2 to get his Itto from top 10 to number 1

[ember oasis]

is this deranged or plain stupid

[tribal breach]

my advice is dont be like me and just get GT and strongbox Emblem

[ember oasis]

understood

[tribal breach]

if you look at Albedo's lbs, 7/20 are using Husk with Spindle

but 14/20 are using Husk with PJC

[ember oasis]

i got him on the spindle

[tribal breach]

and if you're a fake Albedo enjoyer, exactly 10/20 are using Husk on Harbinger

[ember oasis]

harbinger....

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-22399496

[tribal breach]

yeah just farm GT

[ember oasis]

my albedo is triple crowned so it pains me to have a barely-functioning set

[tribal breach]

Husk aint worth diverting your resources away from a good set

[ember oasis]

optmizer says both lol

[tribal breach]

im doing Husk now because i got my Emblem users to useable sets so idrc about Emblem anymore

[ember oasis]

ahh that makes sense

you've already sold your soul to emblem

[tribal breach]

i was surprised to see that the Emblem domain was my most run Domain last year i thought it would've been Deepwood

[ember oasis]

i wish it was possible to see specific domain runs without the aid of anniv web events

[tribal breach]

but yeah im fine with my Emblem sets

[ember oasis]

damn that's amazing

[tribal breach]

i only really cared about my Raiden and Yelan, then the leftovers trickled down to Xiangling and Xingqiu, i decided to throw some pieces on Beidou, and Venti got the crumbs

Rosaria just been chillin for a while i havent even used her since i got her on Emblem

[ember oasis]

the rosaria fate is sadly relatable

but that's a smart way to prioritize your things

[tribal breach]

the last thing i care about for my Emblem users (for now, anyway) is getting Raiden an Electro goblet, but thats her off-set anyway so it doesnt matter what set i get it on

[ember oasis]

maybe i'm just dumb but i want all of them to have a certain level of usable-ness if that nakes sense

those are some insane stats with the catch man

[tribal breach]

nobody asked

[ember oasis]

oh damn

[fast pike]

How many emblems do you want

[ember oasis]

so many..

[tribal breach]

wtf you have c6 raiden how did i not know

🐳 🐳 🐳

[fast pike]

I also have C2R1 Itto I basically never use

[tribal breach]

wanna hand it over thanks

[fast pike]

No, I wanna laugh at you getting 2 summit shaper before redhorn

[ember oasis]

my highest emblem

https://tenor.com/view/racoon-gif-20924621

[tribal breach]

i will find you if that happens

[tribal breach]

honestly summit shaper isnt even the worst weapon to lose to

id rather that than the donuts

[ember oasis]

which weapon's that?

the claymore?

[tribal breach]

the sword

[fast pike]

I guess ATK 5 star weapons have gotten a new lease on life with MH set

[tribal breach]

i already have the claymore 😦

[ember oasis]

interesrting..

my condolences

i got redhorn while aiming for scaramouche's bell

[fast pike]

Literally everyone but hunter has redhorn

[tribal breach]

i got fucked trying to get C2 Itto so i did not have the funds to pull on Weapon

[ember oasis]

it's okay, next patch will be a different story

[tribal breach]

bro literally EVERY single one of my friends, whether they wanted her or not, has gotten Furina

THREE OF THEM DIDNT WANT HER

[ember oasis]

ouch...

[tribal breach]

they all got her at like 20 pity

[ember oasis]

HOW

dude

[tribal breach]

one of them got a 7 pity Tighnari and then Furina 2 pulls later

[ember oasis]

i got her at 82 pity after losing to c3 qiqi on 82......

[tribal breach]

meanwhile

[ember oasis]

still salty about it

[tribal breach]

i could use my guarantee on her right now but 4.3 is looking like one of the driest patches in Genshin history so im just gonna save it for Navia

i think the estimate is like 80 wishes with welkin + bp

thats abysmally low

welkin + bp is normally 100+ wishes

[ember oasis]

wait, are we in 4.2 right now?

[tribal breach]

and i know 4.4 is going to have a lot but Navia will be gone by then so no risks

[ember oasis]

or was it 4.1

[tribal breach]

we're in 4.2

[ember oasis]

ahh

idk what to do now that i got furina, probably gonna aim for neuvilette and dip

navia's playstyle looks quite interesting though

||do like them cannons on the burst||

[tribal breach]

Neuvillette will probably be back sometime between 4.5 and 4.7 i wanna estimate

majorly successful character with very important role in the story, i suspect he'll start running as freqently as the Archons

[ember oasis]

indeed, that is what i have in mind aswell

[tribal breach]

fine by me thats more chances at his weapon being paired with something else i want

[fast pike]

Game obviously hates you

[tribal breach]

thats been obvious

[agile swallow]

Less, 74

[agile swallow]

Obviously my hero

[ionic coyote]

rip

[open pasture]

Sigh...

[calm pagoda]

sigh

[ionic coyote]

sigh

[crystal lichen]

Can someone tell me how to use paimon moe?

I don't understand anything

[open pasture]

What part exactly of the instructions you don't understand

[vagrant hamlet]

Most likely #1044690490982932490

[fast pike]

On set goblet

New beidou circlet

[lethal timber]

Not bad

[worn tiger]

Gonna leave it here

[calm pagoda]

39.6

[worn tiger]

another one

[neat kindle]

40 cv

useable i guess

[worn tiger]

man i'm barely holding on with my artifacts, it's literally my 3rd best one lmao

[neat kindle]

continue farming ig

get there eventually

[worn tiger]

it's so boring that i got burnout for over a year

i returned to the game like a couple weeks ago

[neat kindle]

it's a 15 min game

login do comms clear resin logout

bunch of content when patch drops

low commitment game, i like it that way

[worn tiger]

i still got entire sumeru archon quests to catch up and stuff

but for the rest, i've really started to enjoy it so far. so much new content has been added

[agile swallow]

What do u think about Ayato's on shimenawa?

[ember oasis]

eh...

[open pasture]

Please don't

He already has plenty of better options, and you want to use his burst anyways

Glad and HoD

4p of either

I'm assuming 4p ND is also good on him, like it is on Childe

[fast pike]

It's nice how you excluded echoes

[open pasture]

On purpose lmao

[fast pike]

Resin dumpster

[open pasture]

Echoes depends on having under 100 ping and generally speaking wouldn't recommend farming it even if you had 1 ping lol

[fast pike]

Tested 4 Furina teams on first half of floor 12 so far, taser performed unexpectedly worse than I imagined

Tomorrow I'll give Noelle a try on this abyss version too

https://youtu.be/7Ry9Wkh3F3o?si=uC1-t1Njoye2HHDX

[agile swallow]

Lol

Okok don't kill me

[true crater]

i think ur just bottlenecked by hydro app

mayb doublehydro taser will b a lot better

old firework childe team honestly sounds pretty good too

childe himself has ridiculous hydro

shreds lector shields

[fast pike]

Riptide is just OP

[fast pike]

Kazuha grouping also makes a big difference

But in that taser team I need jean heal for furina since I don't have c6

[tribal breach]

YOOOO STANDARD PULLING THROUGH

i skipped the pull and boom there it is

28 pity

idek who to use it on tbh cause Xiao has Homa

ig i could give that Homa to Zhongli permanently and rebuild Xiao

[true crater]

zhongli bis is just fav

[tribal breach]

dont care hybrid go brr

[true crater]

i always forgor who geo man is in this servr

anyway for xiao pjws is better most of the time

but if ur playing a 'modern' furina bennet homa might be bettre

[tribal breach]

im on my laptop rn so i gotta rescan my entire inventory but imma throw it all into optimizer

my Homa build is pretty damn good, ill have to see if i have artifacts for a PJWS build thats better

[tribal breach]

Furina

i play Xiao/Faruzan(C6)/Bennett/Zhongli whenever i play Xiao

[true crater]

yea is possibl toreplace zhongli with furina

is more damage but harder to play

[tribal breach]

Maybe in 4.6

[true crater]

hmm

[tribal breach]

Also I lowered the scan speed of inventorykamera cause I didn't believe in my laptop but this shit slow as hell

[tribal breach]

When Furina gets a rerun

I lost 50/50 and am saving guarantee for Navia

[true crater]

o ic

[tribal breach]

alright here's Homa

and here's pjws

so it is a noticable damage increase

this is without stealing artifacts from others, lemme toggle that and see if anything changes

interesting, but im not stealing from Raiden or Ayato

custom list i get this, steals from Keqing but i dont think ive played Keqing since Cyno came out

dropped from top 3% in Homa category to top 6% in PJWS category

[agile swallow]

The real plunging attack

Indeed a Xiao player

Xiao player about to drop 3% in a category cuz plunging is his style

[lethal timber]

Copium?

[empty jacinth]

Not copium when 3/4 substat is useful for Fischl

[calm pagoda]

and it only rolled those substats

[plush hull]

[lethal timber]

Thats the neat part i dont build fischl

[simple dawn]

build her then?

[calm pagoda]

yea go build fischl

she's great

[twilit fossil]

I can sympathize.

[tribal breach]

got his weapon to 90 and realized i had the wrong goblet on so this is the final build

[charred mirage]

nice Xiao you have
but he has like one major issue i see there
||he's not geo||

[tribal breach]

so true thats why he's benched

[twilit fossil]

Miho censored underwater. 😛 lol

[charred mirage]

so he's just filler until Navia?

[tribal breach]

well i got his sig on standard so i had to readjust his build just in case i use him

[charred mirage]

actually wait
i now wonder
can you actually make 2 fully functional geo only teams for abyss?

🤔

[tribal breach]

youve been able to

Itto / Gorou / Zhongli / Albedo
Ningguang / Noelle / Yunjin / Traveler

[charred mirage]

geo Traveler feels cope somehow

[tribal breach]

theyre basically just a battery for Noelle

[charred mirage]

Ning is already a great battery though or is she not enough?

[tribal breach]

anyway if i was a Xiao main then this would be my build but im not a Xiao main so he doesnt get this privilege

[tribal breach]

idk i dont run that team

[charred mirage]

i think should build my geos
and give it a try
that looks funny enough for a change of pace

biggest problem is they're mainly crap geared atm

except for Zhongli

and maybe Ning

[tribal breach]

73 to go

[twilit fossil]

I'm annoyed with this circuit design minigame. Why doesn't it logic?

Now I'm even more annoyed >.< didn't think it was important to mention you can drag and change the circuit?

[calm pagoda]

oh I haven't done it yet lol

[tribal breach]

17 days left? I'll do it in... 17 days

[dry moth]

Second furina at 37 pity, after furina at 8 pity

[charred mirage]

since we talked about mono geo earlier i decided to check my husk pieces to try and uncrap my geos
Yun Jin is probably easiest to start with so I gave her stuff
not sure if that basically zero crit can actually work on her 🤔

[ionic coyote]

I don't know Yun Jin at all, but I thought you said uncrap

[charred mirage]

you don't know how she looked before

[ionic coyote]

is she meant to be DEF/ER mainly?

[charred mirage]

her buffs scale on DEF
and her burst has 60 energy cost

she's not doing damage herself

like directly

[ionic coyote]

my bad, I just looked her up. nevermind 😄

[charred mirage]

XD

she's rather niche so she doesn't really get that much use usually

ofc you can build her as dps but that's like Diona dps or some other meme thing

[twilit fossil]

technically you can build literally anyone as a DPS, but this does not mean it will be sufficient to solo clear abyss.

[charred mirage]

that's sorta what i meant with "like Diona dps or some other meme thing"

[twilit fossil]

yes I was simply further emphasising the point.

[charred mirage]

idk if anything maybe machine gun gorou can?
unless he was patched

[ember oasis]

i think it's still alive

there's this crazy gorou main i could prolly fetch the link later

[charred mirage]

but f learning that
I'm still stuck practicing regular aim cancel

[ember oasis]

https://vxtwitter.com/systksjsonic/status/1713187930326614090?s=46&t=_WclJHboeKZslcSJZEUwrw

[tribal breach]

68 to go

[livid valve]

my pity is always 70 up

[simple dawn]

surely this will go well

[agile swallow]

Gl, I'm prefarming Ayato and I know I'm pretty much lacking even the ascension gems

Let alone the dreaded Sakura blooms

[neat kindle]

sakuras aren't that hard tbh

there''re a ton of them

and you can raid coop worlds

violetgrass was where the pain was

and kalpalata lotuses

[calm pagoda]

violetgrass esp pre-chasm

[neat kindle]

baizhu uses it

[harsh swift]

[open pasture]

The thing I've hated the most was Cyno's scarabs

Followed by Wrio's

[vagrant hamlet]

Itto's bugs isn't as annoying as cyno's scarabs

[open pasture]

Yeah, I didn't find them annoying

Cyno's are the worst because a chunk of them are locked behind the world quest

Some of Wrio's are kinda hidden in stupid places but at least most aren't behind a quest

[vagrant hamlet]

That and the underground cave having multi-level

🚮

[lethal timber]

Prefarming for who? Navia?

[fast pike]

So Noelle is somewhere in the middle performance wise for this abyss, so far the biggest surprise was how bad the taser team did.

https://youtu.be/Y4OjxYucwAk?si=8HnNi_lApaTpRzc4

Any other Furina teams I should give a try?

[calm pagoda]

try double hydro taser?

[fast pike]

I'd probably have to rebuild beidou for that, how much ER does she need in single electro?

[calm pagoda]

you have Koko right?

furina Koko fischl kazu
furina yelan fischl jean

[fast pike]

I don't think it will perform better than the taser team I did, with fischl, the beidou AOE DMG is really good in first half

[fast pike]

Ok kokomi taser just cleaned house, beat my previous record by 30s and first sub 5 min floor 12 clear for this version

https://youtu.be/X0A4Z4T9yAQ?si=ObVotlYgm3QPVhgP

[simple dawn]

insane

[fast pike]

Lol, last Roll was flat HP again of course, honestly I can't even use this on Raiden cause she need ATK% Substats or yelan cause she needs ER substats

[calm pagoda]

damn it beat neuv

[tribal breach]

wow i actually got 3 drops when i needed 3 drops

looks like i need to go on a seal mudering spree

[tribal breach]

[agile swallow]

You gonna drop that on Taylor?

Dayumm

[agile swallow]

Yae piece

[open pasture]

I'd argue even Yae doesn't want it that much

She does fine bursting every other rotation

(Or in other words, it's generally not worth it to sacrifice offensive stats for ER in her case)

[vagrant hamlet]

Furina

[open pasture]

Yeah, that as a piece for Furina makes more sense

[agile swallow]

Yet you're throwing salt upon hunter's guarantee

[open pasture]

?

I'm only talking about that artefact xD and how it's not really good for Yae either

Like darkash said, the one char that could use it very well is Furina, which I didn't think about before

[tribal breach]

i think they meant youre throwing salt on my wound from me losing 50/50 on Furina

i had a whole build for Furina made and everything (with a definitely better feather)

alas,

[open pasture]

Ohh damn :0

Well, there's always the rerun

Should be in 4.6 I'd guess

[tribal breach]

we'll see whats going on by that point

im definitely getting Navia in 4.3 and definitely getting Redhorn, whenever Itto comes back (since he's apparently no longer in 4.3)

[fast pike]

What about Inazuma geo chick

[tribal breach]

im not too interested in 4.4 atm, Chiori should be in 4.5 but we dont know her rarity yet

the rumor is that Arlecchino will debut in 4.6 though

||which would align with the sus leak that she's the 4.6 weekly boss||

[open pasture]

Personally unless they announce a new char that really piques my interest (probably Varka), I'm not really interested in any of the chars leaked for the rest of Fontaine (not for my main account at least), so rn will look to get cons for chars I already have or some weapons (namely Haran)

[fast pike]

I just want chloride

[tribal breach]

my list rn is Navia > Chiori > Arlecchino > Furina > Clorinde

[open pasture]

Gl gl

I'd put Redhorn on that list xD

[tribal breach]

oh i meant for characters

weapons it goes Redhorn > Neuvillette Tome > EL

but since the current leak is Raiden + Yoimiya i will be avoiding that weapon banner

[open pasture]

Personally I wanna go for Haran first, then whenever I can snatch a con or two for Nahida, Ayato, Cyno, Neuv... I already have C1 but eventually want C2 of Alhaitham and Wriothesley (and also want Tome)

[tribal breach]

theres very few characters i care about cons for

[open pasture]

Ah, I personally like putting all limited 5*s together to see priorities in general xD

[tribal breach]

the next con i pull for will probably be Neuvillette if im in a good position when he reruns (which i probably wont be since i believe that will be around 4.5)

[open pasture]

I basically go for cons of characters I like

Not super interested in getting a lot of new chars nowadays

So basically just going for cons, weapons, new archons and new chars I really like xD

[tribal breach]

ive only pulled for Itto cons, but i have C1 Yae and C1 Xiao by accident (early pities)

[ember oasis]

I keep forgetting my list lol

probably negligee and home

[tribal breach]

oh i forgot about Elegy, i do want that eventually for Yelan but favdge works fine for now

[open pasture]

I got Elegy while going for... what was it

Ah

Wrio's

Elegy and Skyward Blade

[tribal breach]

i didnt care for Wrio's weapon too much since it seemed focused on rev melt

and i wanted him for freeze

[open pasture]

I run him on reverse melt anyways xD but I would've gotten it regardless

[tribal breach]

i have very few characters with their sigs

[open pasture]

I'm not sure why you say it's focused on melt though

[tribal breach]

Homa, SSS, PJWS (but that's Standard), Haran, LoFI

[open pasture]

It buffs ATK, ATK SPD, NA and CA DMG

Nothing specific to melt, since you will NAing and CAing in freeze as well

[tribal breach]

it's crit rate on a cryo character who's bis artifacts give him 36% crit rate

[open pasture]

Well, it's not like you're gonna run BS on him anyways xD

Or are you

[tribal breach]

if you used it in a freeze team you'd have 78% crit rate before any artifact stats

[open pasture]

Actually basically same xD just Mistsplitter instead of Haran rn

I have Elegy but it's on Yelan

And CQ which is on no one lmao

[tribal breach]

i tried to get Mistsplitter and got CQ

CQ was on Xiao, then i got a second Homa, then i got PJWS on standard like two days ago

[open pasture]

Still leaves a bit of room before over critting though :P

And all CR before 100% is good

[open pasture]

Damn xD

[tribal breach]

i mean yeah sure but trying to get five artifacts to total to less than 22% CR is kinda difficult

[open pasture]

I was gonna use CQ on Raiden but on one hand I thiiink I also have the Skyward spear and I run her on EM anyways lmao

[tribal breach]

especially when the only crit substat the circlet could have is CR

[tribal breach]

i want to get Shenhe eventually for Wrio but she's probably in 4.4 and i gotta save

[open pasture]

Well, depends xD but yeah, you'd have to farm for almost CDMG only artefacts. You generally avoid CR on MH regardless anyways (though ofc not aaas much)

[open pasture]

You're not obligated to run a circlet with a CR substat though :P

[tribal breach]

thats true

[open pasture]

I won't bother with her tbh

Her C6 is where she really shines for him and no way in hell I'm getting her C6, if anything, I'd get Wrio to C6 XD

[tribal breach]

like my Cyno circlet lmao

[open pasture]

I have a similar goblet iirc lmao (similar to your circlet xD)

Though yeah, in Wrio's case on freeze specifically there aren't that many subs to run with him, basically just ATK and CDMG, ER should be fine as well

[tribal breach]

that sands still pisses me off though like it could have just been def and then my Itto would be like top 10 or something

[open pasture]

I won't really bother with him on freeze because on one hand, I have Ayaka, and on the other, I feel his lack of AoE hurts him more for freeze than it does for melt (plus you can run melt against bosses, where his lack of AoE also doesn't matter)

[open pasture]

Me with my Wanderer's goblet

Well kinda

[tribal breach]

thats fair, i just dont like how Ayaka feels to play

[open pasture]

It's anemo, just on the other set

[tribal breach]

she doesnt feel as smooth as most characters do i dont really know how to describe it

[open pasture]

I think I get that xD which is valid haha

But tbh it's been a long while since I've used her, or freeze at all

Freeze in general ain't in a good spot

[tribal breach]

i didnt intend to get her in the first place tbf, my friend joined call and said "ten pull no balls" and i got her on 14 pity lmao

[open pasture]

I'd say cryo overall, but reverse melt currently is way better than freeze is

[tribal breach]

hyperbloom moment

[open pasture]

Ye

[tribal breach]

hyperbloom is comedic to me, i dont mind that its so strong i just find it funny

[open pasture]

Hyperfridge is a thing but personally haven't played it xD

[open pasture]

How so? xD

[calm pagoda]

ayaka carrying fr fr

[tribal breach]

i would play hyperfridge with Wrio but i have to play Dehya with him at the same time since i got them at the same time and they need friendship

[open pasture]

(Though I'm kinda considering trying it with Wrio and Furina lmao)

[tribal breach]

i just find it comical how little effort is needed to make a team that does insane damage

[open pasture]

Tbf, she's almost the only freeze char (at least 5*) rn xD Ganyu's freeze era is long gone, and while it's not like it's unplayable, melt for her is generally better (currently)

[open pasture]

Oh for friendship I just play whatever lmao

[tribal breach]

my first hyperbloom experience was sorting my artifacts by EM, putting them on Raiden and stomping abyss like it was overworld mobs

[open pasture]

One of my recent friendship teams consisted of Xinyan, Faruzan, Wrio and Neuv lol

[open pasture]

True, true xD

[calm pagoda]

my friendship team is carried by neuv

previously ganyu

[open pasture]

I ran 4p Instructor's Kuki for a while lmao

[tribal breach]

my friendship team rn is Wrio Neuv Dehya Kazuha (was Lynette) and Neuv is still the main dps, i just throw Wrio ult and Dehya E for his passive lmao

[open pasture]

I'd say kinda same but I just got him to 10 yesterday xD

So rn it's mostly Wrio

Which is funny because he has scrap artefacts rn xD but does well enough

I used to just alternate between Wrio and Neuv lmao

[tribal breach]

my Wrio is fine, nothing super crazy, he got Neuv scraps

[open pasture]

But mostly focused on Neuv because I like him more XD

Mine is in a rainbow build

I don't remember if him or Neuv but someone had/has 2p Husk

2p DW as well lmao
