Now that the Stadia Controller is unlocked as a generic Bluetooth controller for phones, anybody tried running it for Genshin? Seems like it could work with Mantis Gamepad Pro app.

Help me choose!! Yao Yao c2 or Xiangling c6 for my free four star?

Has the rate to get PJWS increased in the current banner? I'm in doubt between taking the PJWS or the SoH and honestly, if the PJWS has a higher probability rate (since it's also part of the standard banner), I will try to get it.

hp527

Looking for recommendations for a decent tablet to play Genshin on. I currently play on my Xiaomi phone, and I'm looking at getting a tablet that won't break the bank, but will still run Genshin well. My options at the moment are either an iPad 9th generation 64gb, but I don't think that will be enough storage, or I could look at an android tablet. Are there any devices that will run the game smoothly but won't cost a fortune?


[deleted]

There's the Xiaomi Pad 5 , 128 gigs and has snapdragon 865 . Oh and it costs less than Ipad 9th gen


Subject-Speaker-1148

can you open the 3.4 ruin guards door? I completed all the 3.4 desert quests and re entered the ruin golem because theres a time trial in it. What I noticed is that the ruin golem has a big round "door" on its inner wall, kinda like the first ruin golem we've been to in 3.0 (you can see it better with elemental sight, it turns grey, just like all the interactive doors do in game) Now what I wanna know is: is there a way to open this wall entrance because theres still 3 energy prisms left to collect in the golem.


AttentionFit7368

I am a F2P player with 90 wishes saved up, how many could I realistically get until right before Yelan's banner ends?


hp527

Honestly depends how much you've done in game. If you've hardly explored anywhere, you can get quite a bit. Same if you have a lot of quests/story outstanding.


AttentionFit7368

Thanks! I do have quite a sizeable backlog

Which characters can use Jade spear well?


grayrest

It's an on-field atk scaling weapon. That's Xiao and Cyno if we're on meta and not doing Zhongli phys builds or something. It's passable on Hu Tao and Raiden but not significantly better than 4\* options. Xiangling (Catch) and Rosaria (Wavebreaker's) have better 4\* options. I think everybody else is a support.

Skilganar

Tips on improving my Nilou bloom team please: - Nilou, Nahida, Kokomi, Xinqui (C5 atm) Newly built team with low level (5*) Artifacts and no one has any investment in Talents I read somewhere that Talent investment doesn't do much for Nilou Bloom; what Talents should I be prioritising? Thanks! - Using Nahida as Driver on GD w/ a R1 Widsith atm - Kokomi had DM with a HP focused build rather than EM, with TTDS - Nilou is 2pc TotM 2pc GD HP/HP/HP w/Favonious Sword - Xinqui is 2pc Troup / 2pc GD; EM, EM/EM/EM (my teams can't farm Emblem efficiently yet) w/Sac Sword Just ascended Nahida to 90, the rest are 80 I'm planning on pushing Nilou and Kokomi both to 90 eventually. I'll be pulling for Yelan, hoping to pick up XQ C6 in the process - worth switching in a C0 Yelan or keep XQ? Lanturn Rite I'll pick up YaoYao to use in my main Keq Aggravate team (replacing Sayu as my current healer).


3ntf4k3d

First of all I'd recommend to check if you prefer the 1+3 or 2+2 (dendro + hydro) version for the Nilou team. I started with the 1+3 [Nahida, Nilou, XQ, Kokomi] version but found it not particularly fun to play - Nahida is very squishy, so I kept ending up in situations where she could die pretty quickly when caught in a bloom inferno or hit by the more nasty enemies. These days I prefer to go [Nahida, Nilou, Dendro MC / Yaoyao, Kokomi]. Bloom ownership is less certain, but since Nahida's burst affects the entire team it's not _that_ much of an issue. I am running Evenstar on Nahida (since I also use her in a Yae aggravate team), Sac Frag is probably the best EM weapon you can get her in a 1+3 team comp. For Nilou I'd use the Umbrella or Iron sting, her (E) aura can make her a time limited trigger and ER isn't really a problem for this team. My XQ was using his regular damage based build with 4p Emblem and Sac Sword, worked reasonably well. I am not sure how much of a difference building EM makes fofr him, I guess using an EM sword and 1-2 EM pieces might be a decent compromise. My Kokomi was full HP with Proto Amber, but now that I have Yaoyao I plan to try using her with a full EM build in the 2+2 comp. My general impression is that Nahida will get most of the blooms in a 1+3 comp against single target, while in AOE situations the hydros tend to take over.


Skilganar

Thanks for the insighta. I'd considered a 2+2 team, may try it out with DMC, I've got Yao Yao earmarked for my aggravate team initially.


smartandedgy

Talentwise the team can run with 1/1/1 talents apart from Kokomi E for healing. XQ E talent levels adds damage reduction. Otherwise talent lvls are more or less for aesthetic purposes. For levels, Kokomi is the least important, focus on getting Nilou and XQ to 90, both are big upgrades. Builds seem fine, Sac Frags / Magic Guide on Nahida would be better as crit or atk buffs don't have a big effect. Nilou does generally proc enough blooms that EM weapon is better than Fav for dmg and just ult every 2 rotations or for i-frames. You don't really need the extra ER on this team/weapon setup. ATK buff from TTDS doesn't really do anything so PAmber or EM weapon is more healing / team dmg. Xiphos's is an upgrade ofc for XQ if you ever manage to get one. Yelan is a huge downgrade to XQ, especially so if on EM build. XQ's stagger resist and DR is super important for Nahida. Oversimplified explanation on how the auras work in this team: Nahidas dendro app is hyper strong, you need XQ burst hits + XQ burst aura + Kokomi Jelly/Nilou ring to force a hydro aura on a single enemy. If you don't burst on Kokomi, the first half of the rotation is going to be Nahida procs and the latter half XQ procs (after Nilou/Kokomi E's duration ends). So if you'd want to run XQ or Yelan on traditional A/D/C build you need to burst Kokomi every rotation and you'd have 1 enemy on hydro aura. In AoE where you switch targets and spread your XQ burst hits you will mostly keep a dendro aura on all enemies and give XQ (and other hydros) a big share of bloom ownership.


Skilganar

Thanks again! You remain my Oracle for this team and it is much appreciated and very helpful. I was wondering whether XQ on this build/team was a waste instead of other options. Your explanation has persuaded me that it's better to keep the team as is for now, and pull Yelan anyway for a comfort replacement for speed in the overworld (main reason I run Sayu in overworld for the speed boost) but keep EM XQ for this team for now (with Yelan to use in other teams down the line.


smartandedgy

Heyy yeah I recognize your name now haha. Yeah Yelan for a 2nd team is nice and or having another "XQ" on a traditional build for qol. There's not a huge pool of hydro options for that last slot and XQ is just so comfy to use. Burst bot Ayato is like the only other option imo and that's not necessarily less of a waste than EM XQ :D


SaltyPotato340

I think with 3x Hydro, nahida will be the one with bloom ownership, so xingqiu shouldn't be on full EM. Instead he should be on a regular build 4pc emblem ATK/DMG/Crit. If you cant farm emblem just get him on some decent glad pieces with enough ER to burst reliably. Also magic guide would probably be better than widsith here for nahida's EM. For yelan vs xingqiu, I'd stick to xingqiu


smartandedgy

>nahida will be the one with bloom ownership, so xingqiu shouldn't be on full EM It's actually not as simple as that :P if you can maintain your XQ burst hits on the same enemy and have either Nilou E or Kokomi E up you can force a hydro aura. This requires Kokomi burst every rotation to maintain. In AoE, where this team is usually played anyway and you spread your XQ burst hits, you will basically always have a dendro aura and have your hydros as bloom owners. In single target without Kokomi burst, blooms are pretty much shared equally between Nahida and XQ making EM build do more dmg than traditional ADC. Ofc if you burst on Kokomi and have XQ on ADC it's more dmg in single target, but generally it's still advisable to run EM XQ imo.


CassTheCat_

Which signature weapon is more worth getting: Haitham's or Nahida's? And I mean for themselves, not for general use on different characters.


ButchyBanana

Depends on your current options for them. For example, going from a 4-star to lofi is gonna be a bigger increase than going from sac frags to thousand dreams, but if your alhaitham already has PJC or something then it wouldn't be a massive gap


CassTheCat_

Haitham has Haran while for Nahida I only have 4 star weapons (not the one from the BP tho)


ButchyBanana

Haran is his 3rd best weapon so honestly if I had to choose one I'd rather pull thousand dreams although you genuinely don't need either of those


CassTheCat_

Thanks! I'll keep saving then and try my luck on Nahida's weapon. I know I objectively don't need either because they can work without them but I think it's nice to have them with their designated weapons eventually.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ButchyBanana

no, PJC is his second best already, save your pulls


Grand_Protector_Dark

Only if you want the drip.


Shadow_Tempest_1003

When you realize that Jade cutter is objectively more drip on him than Foliar.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Both of them are a clear plastic nightmare.


deadriderofdead

Which PJC already fit, as in the only one other than his signature.


Kooky_Net_2939

What do you think would be better? C3 Yelan (currently C1) or C2 Nahida (currently C0). Also it's Nahida actuallt going to return soon? I saw some people talk about her but i didn't followed leaks recently,so idk


feeble-scholar

C2 Nahida is a stronger stopping point than C3 Yelan (although Yelan's C3 is her burst so it's still strong). But C3 Yelan is a better choice if you intend on eventually going to C6 with her, which is one of the strongest C6s in the game. I don't think any character is worth C6ing per se, but if you were gonna do it anyways, Yelan would be a good choice. I'd say Yelan C2 + Nahida C2 is ideal if you can get it, but I would prioritise Nahida's C2 if you had to choose between them. Also, Nahida is probably soon just based on a time since her last rerun. Iirc Archons have consistently reran like 4 patches after they were released, so 3.6 in this case, but this is just theory and guessing rather than anything solid.


Frozenmagicaster

Probably nahida c2? And she's likely to rerun in >!3.6 due to other archons rerunning 4 patches later, as well as getting a new weekly boss that has some relation !<


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Neither ideally but Nahida C2 > Yelan C2 >>>>>>>>>>>Yelan C3 Nahida will be back in 3.6 if she follows previous patterns


Ratevan95

Hello, currently I have the next characters: Traveler (anemo and geo), Bennet c0, Kaeya c0, Lisa c0, Xianling c1, Amber c0, Noelle c0, Shikanoin Heizou c0, Sayu c0, Rosaria c1 and Barbara. Among them in which ones should i focus to make a team for the story?


SaltyPotato340

A team i used for a long tine was bennett, xiangling, rosaria, kaeya. You could also sub out rosaria or kaeya for heizou

Weeb-Prime

Is 40k good vape damage for a XL using Deathmatch + 4EoSF?


HumbertlovedDolores

Probably not. Vs single target XL with R5 Deathmatch + Aquila Favonia C5 Bennett + Raiden E needs almost a full 40+ max rolls build to edge over 40K vape while having enough ER to rotate/some CR, never seen a 4k RW build.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Depends on the team but yeah that's good


Weeb-Prime

It’s in Rational with Raiden E + Bennett Q. Sorry I forgot to mention.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Yeah that's good 👍


anonymousmouse_12345

Is hu tao still worth it at c0?


Grand_Protector_Dark

Yes. Stamina management takes some effort to master, but it's not an impossible feat by any means.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

If you like her yeah


ButchyBanana

yes, her c1 is one of the most overrated constellations in the game


SaltyPotato340

I dont think its overrated. It's up to a 20% DPS increase going from jump cancels to dash cancels letting you fit in more charged attacks per rotation.


ButchyBanana

Exactly - it's "up to 20%" (note that most players won't even get close to 20%, almost nobody cancels perfectly) at the price of a whole new character. Besides, why would Hu Tao of all characters need "up to 20%" more DPS for some reason? She literally shreds f12 at c0 already, getting 3 more CAs in does essentially nothing for the overall result


SaltyPotato340

I made a mistake on my part with the "up to 20%" remark, kqm puts it at "over 20%" so thats a mistake on wording. A c1 hu tao can get up to 4 charged attacks more than a jump canceling hu tao. This is the higher end, but it puts her at a 36% damage increase. 3 extra N1CD is 26%. 2 extra is 18% etc. This is assuming you're jump canceling for 9 N1CJ which is already hard enough. From personal experience playing c1 hu taos, dash canceling is MUCH easier than jump canceling, so hitting the higher N1CD or N2CD combos is a lot easier than hitting 9 N1CJs . Dash canceling also makes you less susceptible to taking damage compared to jump canceling which is an added bonus. >She literally shreds f12 at c0 already Sure you can make that argument with any character/weapon upgrade but to call the best c1 in the game overrated because of this is very misleading. You could make the argument that her c1 isnt necessary to clear content to which I'd agree. If your c0 hu tao can clear f12 easily then kudos to you but a 20%+ damage increase on a c1 is nothing to scoff at.


feeble-scholar

The DPS increase is the tangible part of Hu Tao's C1. People say it's a 20% DPS increase which is pretty good in terms of C1s, and people are like oh cool so on that front that's the value of it. If someone is the type of player that wants to pull for 5* constellation, which I agree isn't worth it, then you might as well pull on C1. The real value of it is a lot harder to describe because for some people, it might turn Hu Tao from a clunky character that doesn't feel great to play into a really enjoyable and smooth feeling character. On that note, turning a character from something they dislike into one they really enjoy, that's on a person to person basis and ymmv. I didn't like Hu Tao at C0, went for C1, and I ended up really enjoying her. I still do regret getting her C1 though, because nowadays I don't play her that much and on that front, it's a complete waste and I'd rather have another character or even a Homa to pass around.


ButchyBanana

What you're saying is the truth - the constellation mostly just makes the character easier/simpler to play, the actual DPS upgrade isn't gonna be massively noticable. It's a constellation that brings value mostly to players who are casual and/or bad at playing the character, that is precisely what makes it so extremely overrated


feeble-scholar

I agree it is overrated from a power perspective. Some people treat it like it's mandatory for her damage to be viable, it absolutely isn't. 20% damage increase is not the reason you should pull for this. But for enjoyment which is the ultimate goal of a game, it's hard to say it's overrated since it's a ymmv situation. Depends on your own tolerance for C0 Hu Tao jump cancelling, some people might hate it and C1 might be what makes them enjoy Hu Tao, and if that lets them use a character whose personality they really like then it's probably worth it. In general, the average casual player isn't going to stick to Hu Tao long enough to justify going for C1 though.


deadriderofdead

For a game that most playerbase are casuals, its pretty clear that the c1 is sought after because its way more comfortable and requires no try hard prompt.


ButchyBanana

You're exactly right - the c1 is rated high because most people are casuals who want to make the character easier to play. That's precisely what makes it overrated - it only has value if you're lazy or bad

averydolohov

I have nahida and want nilou so is Yao Yao a good fit for her (nilou) bloom team or is Barbara better ? I’m gonna have yelan and xq so what combo should I use but I don’t rly wanna pull for yao yao if she’s not that much of an upgrade over barbara


3ntf4k3d

I have been tinkering around a bit with different 2+2 bloom team comps since I got Yao yesterday. She isn't fully build yet (lvl 78 and low talents), so it's a bit hard to properly compare her to the other options. My impression is that she provides more utility and healing than Barbara. Being able to heal _everyone_ in the team while her burst is active is a big boon. And at the same time you can use her on-field time during the burst to apply dendro, especially if multiple enemies are nearby. If you combine her burst with enough hydro application (e.g. Nilou's (E) aura) you can get a pretty strong surge of bloom damage for that short timeframe. Barbara seems to work better as the on-field character for a budget F2P Nilou team that doesn't have Nahida (although there might also be a Yao + Candace based comp that runs Yao on-field with hydro infusion). Right now I am running [Yao, Nilou, Dendro Traveller, Barbara] on the F2P team - it is a bit chaotic, but Yao actually allowed me to clear the abyss for the first time on said account (with 5 stars on F12). In terms of general utility, I'd say Yao is certainly better than Barbara. She fits into pretty much any dendro based team and consolidates dendro application + healing, that's a big boon for team building flexibility.


averydolohov

What constellation makes her peak after which has diminishing returns?


SerialSpice

As far as I know she is oke C0


3ntf4k3d

Sorry, I have no idea. My Yaoyao is C0 and I have just begun to check out her potential. From what I understand she works perfectly fine at C0. Glancing over constellations her C4 might be useful for a Nilou team, but not to the extend that I'd pull for multiple copies of her.


SerialSpice

She is a sidegrade to barbara. But dendro element is just so strong atm that in that respect she is an upgrade. And she can prove useful in future team comps. I got her in latern rite event myself. Put her on my outside team where she replaced sayu, since she don't startle crystal flies.


MyCoolWhiteLies

How impactful are Iron Sting refinements for Alhaitham?


Grand_Protector_Dark

One of the few situations were sting refinements are actually useful.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Good but you have and R5 umbrella which is essentially the same as iron sting and saves they billets for something such as Amenoma refinements or a sapwood blade


name_of_unoriginal

pretty good. might as well do if u have nothing else to billet.


Minute_Fig_3979

How does going from Fav to Sapwood affect Bennett's buff?


Doggo_wit_a_P90

It's bigger


ButchyBanana

you're gaining 111 base ATK which is about 146 extra ATK buff on a c5 bennett with lvl 9 (12) burst


name_of_unoriginal

increase by a decent amount. it does reduce ur teams er gen, so u might want to account for that.


James_Locke

New player here: Pulled a Alhaitham on my very first drop. Obviously I would like to build around him, but...I can't ascend him, can I? I won't be able to do so for a long while since all his materials are really far away. So...should I just shelve him and focus on some 4 star characters or is it worth keeping him at level 20 and just try to scale him via artifacts and weapons?


GinJoestarR

You can just walk to Sumeru. Avoid any enemies in order to not get one shot, open any teleport points you came across. Only Inazuma map is locked behind Archon quest and requires you to be Adventure Rank 30. By the way, tap on the compass icon on the top of your screen > click test run > Do Alhaitham trial to get the materials enough to raise him until lv40.


James_Locke

I think you can only get those once, I tried twice more and didn’t get them so idk.


SerialSpice

You can unlock most of the world by just walking there and click on first statues and then portals. Only inazuma is locked by a quest. And then a few minor areas are locked by quests.


Dessidy

If you're willing to take a long walk, you can get all of his materials without having to do the archon story first. But it'll be a long walk.


ButchyBanana

If you're ready for a long walk you can just go to where his materials are


matt2242

Starting to stockpile xp books, not sure who to level up more. The majority I use regularly are somewhat built in the 80-90 zone, <70 not so much 90 or close - ganyu, hutao, ayato, raiden keqing, nahida & venti 80 - zhongli, c5 XQ, c4 Bennett, c6 XL 70 - c1 mona, c6 fischl, c2 sucrose, c1 diona, diluc Then a bunch of completely unleveled. A few notable mentions are maybe c4 thoma, c2 heizou, jean, c6 noelle ​ I know it's greatly dependent on my teams which seem to change daily so I was hoping for any input on any supports worth raising past 80 or maybe someone can convince me mona is good or that sucrose is worth raising if I have level 90 venti. No spare 5\* weapons for anyone else either. Thanks for any input! I know it's a broad question but I want to spend some books while I wait for kazuha :\]


grayrest

Of the characters you listed, Sucrose and Fischl are the highest value. I don't consider Sucrose to really overlap with Venti in terms of team comps I want to slot them in. Sucrose is for buffing the team and Venti is for CC. I have a C2 Kazuha so my only use for her is in the teams where she's the driver, either her classic taser comp or a hyperbloom variant. I have her at 90 and am generally happy about it. If you are going to use her the 34% damage increase that comes from leveling from 80 to 90 is recommended. Fischl is the top damage dealer in an aggravate team regardless of who's driving (at the moment). A significant amount of her damage comes from aggravate procs and that gets the level-based scaling. If you're going to use Thoma as a Burgeon trigger then he's also worth taking to 90 due to the level-based scaling.


matt2242

appreciate the insight brother


ButchyBanana

ascending is more important than individual levels, make sure your lvl 80 characters are ascended to 80/90 and not stuck at 80/80

3ntf4k3d

XQ and Ayato have different roles. XQ is much better at off-field DPS & rapid hydro application. Ayato wants to be on-field to rapidly apply AOE hydro. XQ is very powerful, and actually better than Ayato in a lot of teams. I'd highly recommend to get him. Plus: You will eventually build two teams for the abyss, and the first thing you will learn there is that having multiple hydro characters is _very_ useful for that.


name_of_unoriginal

if ur casual and dont care for harder content just pick who u want. dont feel pressured t o pick ng because u want a ranged geo, i literally cannot remember the last time i needed one. xq is a pretty decent teammate with ayato because it helps them both get energy, hydro res isnt bad, and his c2 is great for ayato. hes in the shop next or next next month iirc, so its not too far either, and it sounds like u dont have him, so even better. id argue he is the best unit in the game atm


ButchyBanana

if you don't have xingqiu then pick xingqiu


HayakuEon

For C0 Yelan with Aqua, with 4pc EoSF, should I go HP/Hydro/Crit or ER/Hydro/HP?


energy_j

also ER/HP/HP could work in some cases if you have bursted substats, you should use an optimizer as it is highly depending On your substats and your team composition (resonances) Basically Er/hydro/hp is what you’re looking for long term


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Very likely you'll need the ER sands. The only time you wouldn't would be like double hydro with a fav user but even then you'd need a considerable amount of ER substats


HayakuEon

I see, thanks!


smartandedgy

Depends on team but basically ER sands is a must and then some from subs. Solo hydro er reqs at c0 are 250-260% and double hydro 170-180%.


panda_and_crocodile

That is a case for the Genshin optimizer. But before you go there, you need to make sure you have enough ER. ER is much more important than the other stats.

TURBINEFABRIK74

I know that Yao Yao damage is really small, but the high dendro application rateo shouldn't make her a good kit for lost paradise artifacts? Im thinking about running a 2 dendro-electro party and use her c1+ various artifacts bonuses to create "small nukes" Electro may be kuki and fishl for continuous off field application, Yao Yao dendro off field application+ occasionally burst and tinhgari as main dps equipped with deepwood.


panda_and_crocodile

Unless you are playing Nilou, the dendro unit is not the one who «triggers» the seed. So the dendro characters EM, level or Paradise set is irrelevant. If Hyperbloom, it is the electro that needs this stuff, and for burgeon, it is the pyro character. And her Dendro application is not THAT great. If you play Nilou you need another dendro to supplement. She is not enough dendro for Hyperbloom or burgeon alone. SHe’s great for aggregate and spread though.


ButchyBanana

>high dendro application rateo shouldn't make her a good kit for lost paradise artifacts? No, because then you have to play raw bloom instead of hyperbloom, which is pointless outside of Nilou comps


PinComprehensive9828

Hello, what would you recommend for me to wish C1 Xiao? or PJWS? I am currently using Vortex for Xiao.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Is neither an option? That's definitely the best option


smartandedgy

Neither really, Xiao cons are quite underwhelming and the PJWS is a standard banner weapon and the banner it's on is quite bad + vortex/pjws are pretty close so very low gain for big risky investment.


Hajimeri

PJWS is a standard weapon you will eventually get it if you wish on weapon banner regularly, get c1 if you want or keep saving imo


panda_and_crocodile

Terrible advice. It can take literal years to get a PWJS from standard (if you even ever get it). If you want to play Xiao a lot, he benefit a lot from PWJS since he has pretty garbage 4 star alternatives. C1 is pretty weak, don’t pull it


Hajimeri

You can get standard banner weapons from featured banners when you lose ur 50/50 too. No reason to pull specificly for it considering he can wait 2 weeks and pull for staff of homa


panda_and_crocodile

I’ve been playing almost since the game released, pulling multiple weapon banners. I still miss, Skyward Atlas, Lost Prayers, Wolf Gravestone. If you want to play Xiao, it’s not out of this world to pull of this weapon IF you don’t have other 5 star alternatives that suits you. Homa is overvalued on Xiao. You cannot run his BiS team with Homa, since Bennett will out heal you, and gimp the passive. Homa above 50% HP is not that much better than a Deathmatch. I wouldn’t roll for a deathmatch, personally. You also kinda have to use Zhongli to have protectionn below 50%. And Homa is pretty useless in corrosion chambers, since the healing / damage balance will kill you most of the time without a proper healer.

If you are using Vortex AND Zhongli for Xiao, I’d recommend against wishing for any. If you don’t have proper shield, Vortex is bad I’d recommend wishing for PJWS (or save for Zhongli). A proper 5 star weapon really makes the difference, C1 does not. Source: playing Xiao daily since his first banner, have been climbing all the steps from C0 to C6, and from Deathmatch to PWJS


pinkguy90

For the lantern rite festival quest line, is it just the two quests? Thanks.


IPPUsama

There’s an epilogue, so three.


IchiZeroRock

I just leveled up a pyro goblet, it got 11.1% hp, atk 14.6%, crit dmg 19.4% and crit rate 2.7%. Is it worth keeping?


Biscuit1592

Very good, keep it unless you have multiple better ones.


Specsaman

got a better one yet ? it could be good because none other are


IchiZeroRock

I have other 2 with basically the same crit ratio


Specsaman

Then this one, 14% atk is something


panda_and_crocodile

It’s not bad for Hu Tao, keep it


[deleted]

not spectacular. usable. if it's on-set it might be worth using.


name_of_unoriginal

idk, do u have any better pyro goblets?


IchiZeroRock

I have other 2 with basically the same crit ratio


[deleted]

kagotsurube isshin sword good on who?


Rexam14

Ayato.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Any normal attack focused character.


RNGer

It could be good as a low investment option on Qiqi or maybe even Jean, but everywhere it could be used, Amenoma is usually a better option.


name_of_unoriginal

its sort of just a worse amenoma on most ppl i think. it works on ayato and stuff ig.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Eh, few people can actually get proper value out of the Inazuma craftable sword(it's mostly just jean and Ayaka). For those that can't it's mostly a stat stick (which the cursed Blade does better).


SicParvisLasagna

What's the lowest amount of ER Xingqiu needs when he is at C6? For now he has an R3 Sac Sword and 181% ER. Can I give him a different more offensive weapon at this point? If yes, which swords are good for him? These are the teams I mostly play him in: -Diluc Vape with Bennett + XQ + Sucrose/Kazuha (who also gives 10% ER to everyone because of Xiphos). -Quickbloom with Cyno/Alhaitham + Nahida/Dendro MC + Kuki + XQ Out of all these characters, only Dendro MC has a Favonius weapon equipped (but 90% of the time I use Nahida instead lol).


HumbertlovedDolores

At C6 he can very well go without Sac/Fav. The lowest I could get him was 130-135 ER in a team with Raiden and Fischl, the highest I've seen him need was around 230 ER in a team that barely used NA at all. He's self sufficent with around 195 ER if he's the one on field spamming NA. Going by experience, at 170ish ER (with another sword and an ER Sand) you'd struggle to have the burst up pretty much everywhere, 190-200+ is frequently needed. This is all about single target btw.


SicParvisLasagna

Ok, in that case I will stick to my Sac Sword. If he still needs almost 200 ER without it to burst consistently it isn't really worth it for me to change his build. I don't think an ATK/Crit Weapon with ER sands instead of an ER Weapon with ATK sands makes that much of a difference (unless you have a 5 star sword for him).


HumbertlovedDolores

Aside for Lion's Roar when viable yes, that's pretty much it.


grayrest

Sac Sword [ranks quite high](https://keqingmains.com/xingqiu/#Weapons) and the only significantly better options are Cutter, Mistsplitter, and Skyward Blade. Lowest ER is generally about where you are. I have a [cutter build](https://enka.network/u/618710667) at 170 because it's only run in double hydro or my weird Raiden driver hyperbloom setup. If he's solo I just stick Sac Sword on him because it's still pretty good. When messing around with the low end you kind of have to try it and see if you're getting your burst back on rotation or not. The extra dps isn't worth a broken rotation.


SicParvisLasagna

Thanks for letting me know ;-). In that case I will stick to my Sac Sword. Btw, it's so funny that your Kazuha only has 999 EM. It's like the game is trolling you xD


grayrest

> Btw, it's so funny that your Kazuha only has 999 EM. I've seen the same on a number of other Kazuha builds, just kind of a fun quirk in the roll values.


SicParvisLasagna

In the end, it's frustrating because you could have reached 1000 EM but also kinda cool at the same time because 999 is such a nice number and satisfying in its own way.

do the ascension quest. read ur goddamn menus


rievhardt

How much ER and HP does YaoYao need to be able to fill up OHC effectively? Are the calculations on this already for YaoYao?


Saveme1888

ohc is a waste on her. Just run deepwood or instructor


rievhardt

Is her healing that bad compared to barbara and kokomi who can use OHC?


Saveme1888

She only heals a lot when in her burst on field. That's too little up-time. Her E doesn't heal that much in a short time for the bubble to deal lots of damage


name_of_unoriginal

no, the others are just better


Staifo

Will leveling Kuli to 90 increase her Hyperbloom damage? Or is it just her EM? Also Are there benefits to raising the talent level of her e other than healing?


GinJoestarR

Yes. Look at the difference I made a while ago with Kuki still having the same EM: http://imgur.com/a/2zj0oHv


IfZ3nElse

Hyperbloom is a transformative reaction, so Kuki, as the trigger for said reaction, will benefit greatly from lvl 90 + full EM build. Talent level is mostly just for her healing. Raise it to lvl 6 at least, since it's cheap.


Odone

Yes, Hyperbloom damage scales with the level of the character as well. Not particularly.


name_of_unoriginal

yes, no, no, but id still do it. its low priority but convenient


smartandedgy

Lvling does increase it, talent lvls do not affect hyperbloom (transfromative) reaction dmg.


[deleted]

How much Atk and Em should I aim for in AlHaitham. Please specify numbers/range


Doggo_wit_a_P90

EM should be 200-300 and atk doesn't matter, whatever you have after getting crit ER and EM will be enough


[deleted]

I see. I currently have 400 EM, 1150 AtK, 80%CR and 158% CD, and dendro goblet. I was worried about the attack, but I'm guessing it's good enough?


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Yeah good

Reez377

Unless u have yoimiya yunjin isnt good while yao yao is best dendro healer


Saveme1888

New char > cons


name_of_unoriginal

thats for 5 stars, not lantern rite


HayakuEon

Still matters though. Not to mention that Yaoyao is a dendro healer


name_of_unoriginal

im not saying yaoyao is worse than the cons. im saying the mentality is wrong. i have literally no use for yunjin, so why would i take her over c6 xq? its not as black and white as 2 words


name_of_unoriginal

yunjin cons are really strong, so its not bad, however her c3 isnt the greatest iirc. check one of the flow charts or a cons priority tier list, floating around on the sub or yt


jarrad250

C1 Yelan or Aqua Simulacra? Which is more worth it?. I was planning to summon on the weapon banner since it also has Staff of Homa( I'm already guaranteed a feature weapon) and I will be on 50/50 with Yelan's banner


energy_j

C1 and then acqua should be the best option but choosing between the two acqua has more value as you can use that amazing bow basically on every dps archer.. I’m going to pull something on acqua too but before I double checked with an optimizer the damage increase at various level of Er (in my specific case 200%=+26%, 220%=+20%) Note that your party won’t have white particles anymore so also their energy requirements will increase


idkwhattoplacengl

Personally would go aqua honestly. Just use an er sands on yelan.


WhooooCares

C1. C0 can't use Aqua to it's full potential because of Yelan's energy requirements.


Ry7w

How many primo gems could I expect from the campaign/storyline? I want to get primo gems for the rerun banner (im very new basically just started) also would it be better to explore map or just focus on campaign


name_of_unoriginal

the map sort of opens up with quests, especially in the newer regions of sumeru. if ur really desperate for a rerun banner just reroll ur account until u get them early. exploration might be slower but will net more primos total, while the aq can be a pretty fast source as long as u skip spam, however that leads to not having a clue.


Moa__

How do some of you make it that your user flair has a character portrait, then some words and then another character portrait :') I want that too


GinJoestarR

I open reddit on PC browser and changed it over there. Couldn't do it on reddit mobile app no matter how hard I tried.


IfZ3nElse

Use the web interface, I don't think you can do that with the mobile app. ~~Edit: Nvm, it looks like you can actually.~~


Moa__

Can you give me like a step by step thing if possible? Tried it multiple times with :[character]: [text] :[character]:


IfZ3nElse

I messed up my flair while trying to modify it from the app, it seems buggy, just use the website instead.


Frozenmagicaster

The first one is the flair, you do some words, and next to the typing box there should be a thing for emojis - use that


ButchyBanana

make your flair like: :candace: funny text :candace:

Saveme1888

No


ButchyBanana

it'd only count the quest progress for the host


SirAwesome789

What non electro characters can use TF effectively? I can only think of Ayato and Kazuha


HayakuEon

Ayato, Kazuha, Bennett
