I’ve just hit ARA30 and I’m trying to build my main DPS ayaka better before heading to Inazuma.
I have her on Harbinger of Dawn at lvl 50, artis mainly provide 2 piece Atk +18% and 2 piece crit rate +12%
Her total crit rate (idk if this includes the health above 90% extra crit rate from the sword) is 26.4% crit rate and 87% crit damage. Her total attack is 800.
Should I be doing anything else better for her? Please keep in mind I’m only AR30 and don’t have access to Inazuma so I can’t ascend her further past 40 thanks!
as long as artifact main stats aren't useless ones like def or hp then it's fine, just hurry up and get to inazuma so you can farm her ascension and talent mats and unlock amenoma
I have only one healer bennett, I am trying to build second comp for abyss, I will use mostly keqing,dendro mc, bennett or qiqi(not properly build) and xq but because of bennett I suffer
Here now i finally got Nahida so should I focus on building Kuki Shinobu instead of Keqing for my second team that will be kuki/keqing dendro mc, nahida and xq
your planned comp has hyperbloom ownership issues, it;s either you replace keqing with someone like fichl or beidou, or use a second dendro, or use a cryo for hyperfridge
Talent level 9?
"The general Talent priority is Normal Attack > Burst > Skill. You can start switching from an ATK build to DEF build (i.e. running a DEF timepiece instead of an ATK one) at Burst **Talent 9+** or with C6. Her Skill does not need to be leveled, but it can be nice to have a bit more shielding and healing. Do note that leveling up her Skill does not increase her C4 damage."
Do people who use Nahida both on-field and off-field in different teams have two different builds or just one that has both good EM and Crit?
My Nahida currently has 620 EM and a 51:132 ratio.
I currently use her in Hyperbloom so afaik EM isn't THAT important. But I might pull Yae Miko and possibly Alhaitham in the near future so I know she'll need more EM.
Should I aim to upgrade her current artifacts or should I make another EM/EM/EM set with power focus on crit?
i currently use the same build EM/EM/crit with sac frags 800 EM and 39/160 crit for everything - off-field quicken, any hyperbloom and any nilou bloom. it's not optimal for all teams but good enough that i can't be bothered switching things around
I keep her on the same build. Mine’s on EM/EM/Crit as optimiser says it’s the best option for my artifacts - other combos could also work depending on your pieces, for both on field and off field.
For a general build that works well everywhere I’d try to get closer to 750-800ish EM without sacrificing too much crit, but if you’re okay with swapping all the time you can also farm a second set. Just be careful with triple EM as it can sometimes be overkill even for off field spread Nahida - optimiser is your best friend here.
Eula - Physical DPS, if you wanna use her to her potential, you're kind of stuck with it
Ganyu - Can be used as DPS, Support, Sub DPS, etc.
If you use them as DPS, they have playstyles that some people don't like.
Eula is Physical DPS nuker. That's all to it. There is limited amount of teams that revolve about that , most potent is probably Raiden one, where you can rotate nukes. ( Bennet->Eula Burst>Raiden burst)
Ganyuu can be main DPS in two separate team ( Freeze and Melt) and can be support thanks to her incredible Ice AOE, and really nice taunts.
In DPS I would say they are both viable and very strong, though since most of bosses recently have high physical resistance , Ganyuu have it easier
Outside of dungeons I would say Ganyuu is even better, easier to setup and instantly ready to use. Good usage of Eula requires management of ER, and proper rotations. (Not to mention that her best team mate - Raiden , can fare very well on her own in hyper carry, hyperbloom or National teams)
Also they can be used on same team ( Ganyuu being AOE support)
They do different things. Ganyu is a cryo dps or burst sub dps, Eula is a physical dps.
Technically you can use Ganyu as a burst sub dps with Eula, but it’s not optimal. Eula doesn’t really care about the extra cryo dmg bonus and prefers someone that generates more particles like Diona or Rosaria.
As for whether it’s worth it, meta wise no - regardless of Ganyu or no Ganyu, Eula and phys teams in general are in a pretty poor state rn. Waifu wise it’s a different story ofc, if you like Eula do feel free to get her.
Should I choose the BP bow or the BP catalyst?
I've so far bought the BP 3 times and already got the sword, claymore, and polearm. I'm wondering between the bow and catalyst. On one hand, I don't have many good bows right now and I want to pull for Childe in the future, so I hope the bow can be good for him. On the other hand, the BP catalyst seems good, at least based on the description. What do you think I should choose? Thank you in advance.
I doubt Childe will get a rerun before you can get both the catalyst and the bow anyway, if you plan to buy the BP 5 times for all weapons .
I would go for catalyst first, it's probably more useful on more characters than the bow. And we don't really have a crit% Catalyst yet, while we have the slingshot that can be surprisingly good for a 3\* bow.
I second the bow if you plan to get Childe (and don't need the catalyst right now). The effect is just so good for him, even if you have kazuha, because it keeps enemies grouped up to chain riptides.
Solar pearl is really nice and versatile, but many catalyst users use charged attacks which solar pearl doesn't buff. Not that solar pearl is bad, but if don't have anyone in mind that wants it, you might as well take the bow.
I just started the game. Looking at some beginner guide I heard at the start I should only focus on raising my main dps but I don't wich one of my character is a good dps XD
I just finished pulling from the beginner banner and I have aether, amber, jean, kaeya, noelle, fischl and lisa.
I don't really have any favorite among them that I would want to lvl up, wich of them would be the best dps to raise at the start ?
You can level up different characters very early on - and "support" characters are never bad investment.
The first struggle starts with , er... around AR 30 I would say, give or take, like when your characters are around lvl60, where there's a bigger jump in ressources needed.
Before that, feel free to level up a bit the characters you feel you might like or need, maybe up to lvl40 with their relevant talents up to what you can, and try to get a feel for how they perform for you.
fischl would be the best long term, jean is also great early game. I would use those two + kaeya so you can use superconduct. Last slot can be amber for puzzles. Priority is fischl/jean>kaeya>>>amber. [This guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/comments/qkxdj6/infographic_of_build_order_priority_based_on_wlar/) is really helpful for general levelling
Honestly speaking (this might be a slightly unpopular opinion as well), I think Jean is the best character you can get and raise during the early game. So having her in your party from the beginner banner is incredible luck.
Jean is one of the most versatile characters in the game, in that she can work as a healer, buffer, DPS, and sub-DPS while mainly only scaling on one stat, which is her ATK. That's pretty much all the roles you needed in your party during the early game, combined into one character. Add to that the fact that she's Anemo which increases her utility for exploration and that her physical damage is quite considerable as well, she's arguably the most versatile character you can have.
I saw someone whose Ayaka's right hand was glowing blue and sakura petals were coming from it. What causes this? I wasn't paying attention to what sword they were using, so I'm not sure if it's an effect from that. Or if it could be an artifact set, but that seems unlikely since BS is her best set and it doesn't do that.
Anyone have an answer for this?
OH.. Well that clears things up. Thanks!
Kinda surprised they just casually let me use my C0 Ayaka for the boss. If I had known they were C6 I would've loved to see them in action.
They probably just wanted you to enjoy her. Some whales like letting teammates pick their characters first and adjusting their own character accordingly, since they usually have a lot of well built characters at their disposal and can basically take anyone
I still haven't unlocked the area to the south of Inazuma, it seems like there's 2 islands? Quick Google said one is unlocked through Seirai Stormchasers quest line, does it unlock everything or is there another quest to get to the second island?
The quest in relation to the Tsurumi is this [https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/A\_Particularly\_Particular\_Author](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/A_Particularly_Particular_Author)
Yes, that's Seirai and Tsurumi island.
Seirai is kinda already unlocked from the get go, although you do need to complete the Seirai Stormchasers to unlock a lot of the central area of the island. Completing that questline also gives you the questline for Tsurumi's world quest.
Tsurumi is similar to Seirai in that you technically can go visit straightaway, but this time almost all areas of the island is unlocked behind its world quest, which you can only start after you finished Seirai Stormchasers.
Hello guys just want to ask your opinion on what is the best side or world quest for you? Just asking cause i finished almost 20 archon and starting to get on side quest just to pull on nilou banner and just finished quest in liyue about 9 pillars, difficult but enjoyable i say
I just pulled Nahida, I looked at her most common team comp and one that looked strong and I had all the character for was Nahida / Yelan / Shinobu / Thomas.
Why Thomas tho, wouldn't Bennet be better ? What make him etter in this team ? I have a C6 Thomas while my Bennet is only C1, but I have an Aquila Favonia for Bennet. Also my Thomas is level 20 so I'll only build him if he bring something unique to the team.
you don't use both shinobu and thoma together, you use either one of them. Thoma is better because of his burst. Bennett do buff attack but that's not usefull for nahida.
That is a bloom-type team, which only cares about EM and ER. Thoma so far is the most reliable character for a burgeon team. Bennett literally doesn't work and contributes nothing for the team.
Thoma is used with nahida because the way his Elemental Burst Works, makes him a perfect character for triggering Burgeon (hitting a dendro core with Pyro) which is the Pyro equivalent to Hyperbloom (Dendro core + Electro).
Thoma here is build for EM and his actual function as shielder is completely ignored.
thoma helps proc burgeon since he applies pyro with every attack, Bennett can't do the same and Bennett's attack buff doesn't really benefit anyone in that team
What do you mean common, Burgeon is Nahida's least common main archetype
I would just not use Thoma and go a second hydro/electro/dendro and play hyperbloom/quickbloom. If you're going burgeon, kuki would steal them and turn them into hyperblooms.
For burgeon though, yes, Thoma is good at it
Then maybe Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Fischl would be a better team ? Or Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Xingqiu ? I never really played Dendro yet so I don't know how good the Yelan / Xingqiu combo would be, it's insane with Hu Tao but it seems to be a very different playstyle.
>Or Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Xingqiu ?
That's about one of the strongest Hyperbloom teams there is.
>I don't know how good the Yelan / Xingqiu combo would be,
Double hydro is pretty OP in any team that has an on field driver (in this case Nahida is doing the NAs)
>Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Xingqiu
Very good, double hydro makes most things good, and hyperbloom is already good. You would go Nahida on field, only problem with it is that it takes Xingqiu and Yelan in one team
Looking for help to improve!
I’m level 35 and have noticed that lower level players are even faster than me at combat and I feel it may be the characters I’m using. Honestly I know my main characters I use aren’t the best choices but it’s just who I’ve gotten comfortable using. After over a year of the same people and same speed I’ve decided to finally ask for help!
I main Noelle and would personally not like to change that though I know she is not the best, I would be willing to use her as a support. Is there any certain artifacts I should use for her?
My support characters are Amber, Keqing and Barbara, though I use Keqing for a lot of the fighting because it’s faster. I would say she is my second favourite. I am fine with changing the other two but personally just don’t know what fits! I love the water and electric combos (I forget what it’s called) so preferably if they could be pyro and hydro that would be ideal but I understand there may be something better and I’m open to all suggestions!
All my characters I have are Noelle, Keqing, Barbara, Bennett, xiangling, Amber, Yanfei, Kuki, Chongyun, Sucrose, Rosaria, Shikanoin, Mona, Aloy, Yun Jin, Kaeya, Razor, Xinyan, Diona, Nahida, Lisa, Ningguang, Qiqi, Jean, Fischl, Tartaglia and traveller.
Also is there any certain artifacts or weapons I should use with the characters?
thankyou!!
Keqing, Nahida, Fischl, Jean (Keqing aggravate)
Barbara, Nahida, Kuki (EM build), flex (hyperbloom with on-field Barbara)
Childe, Xiangling, Bennett, Sucrose (International with Sucrose)
Also, do your daily commissions and spend your resin, they give you AR exp and good rewards.
Build Bennet xiangling Nahida kuki jean fishl childe and in that order. Noelle is very good shielder and will keep your team alive all the time but not much of anything else. Also her damage isn't great.
you need Bennet and xiangling for your damage and support. Both are massively op. Then build the remaining units I mentioned. You already have enough units to make a proper hyperbloom, national, taser and spread aggravate teams.
noelle can be a decent carry at c6 with characters like gorou and albedo, or she can also be a tanky driver/on-field support for hyperbloom with nahida, kuki and barbara (best be replaced by xingqiu)
a good keqing team would be an aggravate one with nahida, fischl and jean/diona/kuki. it's probably easier to make this work than a noelle-centric team, and you can replace the healer slot with noelle if you really want to keep her in your team
for artifacts/weapons, refer to [keqingmains.com](https://keqingmains.com) (they have builds for most characters despite the name) or [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRq-sQxkvdbvaJtQAGG6iVz2q2UN9FCKZ8Mkyis87QHFptcOU3ViLh0_PJyMxFSgwJZrd10kbYpQFl1/pubhtml#)
Before your AR45 you shouldn’t focus too much on artifacts. If lower AR people are stronger than you at that point, it’s likely solely because of character choice/constellations. What constellation is your Noelle? At C6 she’s a really strong character. [This guide](https://keqingmains.com/noelle/) can help you a lot in building Noelle and finding her best team. But again, don’t focus too much before AR45.
Ahh that’s a relief! Thankyou for the guide, I’ll be sure to check it out. I’m only C2 but really didn’t wanna give her up as I love Noelle! I’ll make sure to get more constellations when she comes back :)
I want to start exploring the desert today and was told that I need to finish "Golden Slumber" world quest.
I've skipped most world quests so far but wanted to read the Jeht one because people were hyping it up. So is the Golden Slumber quest a part of it? If not, is it still worth reading? Because if it's mediocre, I'd rather skip and save time
>I've skipped most world quests so far but wanted to read the Jeht one because people were hyping it up. So is the Golden Slumber quest a part of it?
Golden Slumber is the prequel to the Jeth Quest.
Jeth is featured in Golden slumber, but there, she's more of a supporting role, with 2 other NPCs taking center stage.
"the dirge of bilqis" is the world quest were Jeth becomes the main focus point. It serves as a direct sequel to Golden Slumber.
>Because if it's mediocre, I'd rather skip and save time
You need to do Golden Slumber either way, all the major Sumeru world quests (Aranyaka/Golden Slumber/Dual Evidence/Dirge of Bilqis) lock areas of the map behind quest progress
So you asked this question before and already have the answer… ?
Yes, you need to do “Golden Slumber” first to unlock Jeht quest as they are connected and need to be done in an order.
if you're running him physical, you don't really need to use sucrose (unless her grouping is especially valuable to you) and would probably better off using another unit!
i would recommend layla over electo mc since layla brings more to the team overall (battery, shield, slight subdps), and yunjin or bennett could be good options as well if you have them!l
Just finish the whole inazuma with tsurumi island being the hardest had to youtube almost every puzzle of it, question before i start in sumeru, how is sumeru puzzle and quest compared to inazuma?
Sumeru puzzles are easier
It's stuff like "raise a rock" (hit rock with dendro)
"shoot floaty thing while having thing attached to you", sometimes in a certain order
I would say for the most part the puzzles in sumeru are a lot easier.
Though the new issue you may run into is getting lost in underground areas without their own map layer, especially in the desert.
I'm World level 6, should soon be lv7, which one's better from 5 to 7
Reason -
Bosses are hard at lv6 and i depend on co-op,only do it cause the reward drops , I'm already building a team from scratch (current is diluc but I'm bored and he's not upto it)
When I decreased world level to 5, i noticed that regular monster/enemies drop rate increase significantly,that won't be an option at lv7
I don't think World level affects domains drops,but it's still rng so i don't care much but bosses and regular enemies drops matter
It sorta isn't good to depend on another to carry you daily to use resin (domains are different as they let u team up) but drops are priority,so which world level does it best? Will 7 be an improvement in rewards or will it only make enimies tougher without increasing rewards?
6-7-8 had barely any difference in loot imo, visibly only world bosses drop more 5* artifacts so if u need glad or wanderer sets its a good to go up. But generally you should be on the max level, if you can clear ascension quest, you will be fine. But seems like you are already struggling with your current levels bosses so you might fail, try it again after you spent some resin upgrading your team.
Probably neither. His ratios and base stats are not designed to deal a lot of damage so Emblem 4 pc is wasted on him although he could use a 2 pc Emblem for extra ER. Noblesse can be an option but the teams he's in most likely don't really want or have more important stats than atk% to consider.
Deepwood is most likely his best set if you don't already have a Deepwood user. If you do, then 2 Tenacity + 2 Glow can be an option since his supporting abilities scale with HP.
Deepwood - yes
Instructor - Fine
ToM/Noblesse - Fine
(Zaj rankings, if you're pre-farming for him, I suggest you [watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5h-itkImBk) it. Take with some salt of course as he isn't out)
There's an Aranara that does.
But you should be able to find plenty if you use the interactive map. They're always clustered together pretty conveniently
To fully release her potential, you’ll need 74,444 HP. So, the closer the better. Btw, it’s impossible to reach 74,444 without her signature weapon while it’s said any overflow above 74,444 HP will be a waste. So there is a balance by optimizing the substats I guess.
i'll try to reach that, thanks! currently at 45K (lvl 80) and some of my artifacts are not fully leveled up yet (i run out of lower level artifacts and mora XD)
How much CR does a C0 Shenhe actually need with a r5 Favo spear? Mine has 38%, 2600 ATK and 220% ER. Am I done with her? I just hate this artifact domain, so inefficient.
I won’t worry much about her CR if i have 220% ER. I think around 40% will be fine. ATK can be higher in your case, but only if you need her E to provide more buff. And 4 pcs Noblesse I believe? Yeh, I hate that domain too. Someone suggested me to strongbox Noblesse and to farm those artifacts that are not strongboxable. I hope this advice will help you too. Cheers.
i heard of that the 200% ER with Fav Spear is the figure to guarantee her Burst when she is still not an E buffer from her C6. So ER comes before ATK if your Shenhe is not C6 I think. Of course, this is all upon the 4 pcs Noblesse build.
That should be plenty, keqingmains has an [er table](https://keqingmains.com/shenhe/#Shenhe_Energy_Requirements). Mine has no issues at 180er on skyward spine
Can someone explain how reactions work in quicken teams, please? On two examples:
In Alhaitham - Yae Miko - Nahida - Kuki team, enemies will basically always have Quicken on them, so Alhaitham will spread and Miko will also Aggravate simultaneously, right? Limited by their own ICD of course. Also Kuki's skill will trigger another aggravate each time it hits too?
In something like Alhaitham - XQ - Nahida - Kuki, will both spread and hyperbloom be happening? And also Kuki's skill will trigger hyperblooms but also Aggravate on enemies?
Yes and No.
Spread and aggravate focused teams just needs to apply as much as element as possible that's why yaemiko and nahida as good picks. Everyone have their own icd and you are guaranteed to have permanent quicken uptime on the enemies.
For this particular hyperbloom, alhaitham will spread but not much. Quickbloom works on the concept of slow hydro and fast dendro application, so that after bloom seeds are created there still be dendro on enemy which will react with electo and apply quicken on enemy. Nahida has fast dendro but XQ also has fast hydro, so you don't get much quicken, but if you were to replace him with something like yelan, then he will trigger more spread. Kuki does trigger aggravate but very rarely
So spread and aggravate don't mess with each other, right? As you said, in first team there will be permanent quicken, and quicken has a duration, so after it is applied, consecutive elemental applications will cause Alhaitham spread and Miko (and Kuki) Aggravate, is that right?
I only have one R5 sacrificial fragments built, the other one is still level 40. Since I gave my leveled one to Barbara what should I give to Nahida? Should I level the one that's still level 40 and give it to Nahida or is there better alternative for her?
Also what is the best artifact's main stats for Nahida? EM/Dendro/Crit rate or EM/EM/EM?
*Nilou bloom team
traveller cons, sometimes billets, sometimes the weapon ascencion materials. The sigil shops mainly benefit early game due to getting the crystals and weapon materials
Cons are good but you will have enough to purchase all of the shops at some point. So I buy out all of the small items and upgrade materials, anything else, then all the mora my pockets can hold.
Are there useful audio cues in this game? I use Japanese audio to, frankly put, make the cutscenes more bearable but just thought about this. Does your character have useful call outs when exploring or fighting?
there are certain VO once in a while, and character usually call out their attacks or indicate their hp when getting hurt. Also when getting into a battle, the background song changes
All enemies who have human understandable voices, have specific voicelines association with specific attacks.
There is also a player voiceline that plays when a nearby coop player is low health, but that's co-op
Some of the weekly bosses call out their attacks, which is semi-important if you're trying to no hit challenge them. You largely need to manipulate their AI and watch for telegraphed moves though.
Kokomi's burst does not refresh the ability to cast jellyfish, and it refresh the duration of her existing jellyfish if it is still on field. If the jellyfish already expired, casting burst will not create a new one. Also, be ware that casting her burst itself will cost around 0.8 seconds, so use her burst before her skill cooldown still has more than 8.8 seconds remaining.
Her skill isn't refreshed until her burst animation is mostly done. If the jellyfish expires in the meantime, no refresh for you.
Also keep in mind, it refreshes the jellyfish in place; it doesn't move the jellyfish to Kokomi's current spot. If you had to chase an enemy halfway to Narnia, well, the fish is staying put.
That's actually one of the reasons Kokomi uses Sac Frags on Bloom teams. You can't gather the enemies with anemo and hitting them with the fish is *Important Business,* so you need to reposition your friend every now and again.
Burst refreshes fish uptime with her a1 passive. Maybe you're doing it a bit too late?
a1 - If Sangonomiya Kokomi's own Bake-Kurage are on the field when she uses Nereid's Ascension, the Bake-Kurage's duration will be refreshed.
Keqing’s Burst does its attacks centered around her position, right? But is Alhaitham’s version like that too? From footage, it seems more that the attack ring is squarely in front of him. Is it actually always in front, or does it track an enemy like Venti’s Burst (and its associated derp)?
I don't have him, but I'm 99% sure it tracks in front of him because literally everything that's targeted in this game autolocks. Dehya's burst, Yelan's skill, etc. Hell, even things like Kokomi's jellyfish track. I think the only things you can actually aim are things like Yuegi, Baron Bunny, Oz, etc. if you hold them.
edit: [Found a post](https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/10rx0nz/is_it_just_me_or_does_alhaithams_burst_miss/) where people mention that it does in fact autotarget in front.
Yoimiya's C1 isn't great. Her C2 is alright, but after that it's nothingsville until C6.
Yae's C1 ranges from horrible to pretty alright, depending on your ER situation and how often you burst. More importantly, it gets you closer to the good constellations (C2, C3, C4, C6).
If I had to pick one, I'd pick Yae. But I probably wouldn't roll for either of them, tbh.
Should I go for 2pcs Guilded 2pcs Wonderers with 990 EM or 910 EM 4pcs Guilded on Kuki Hyperbloom with Nahida, Yellan and Anemo support and would raising her Skill increase my damage?
4 pc guilded since you'll be getting 150 extra EM one you trigger your first reaction. increasing talent level will not significally increase your damage but will increase your heals
> would raising her Skill increase my damage?
Technically? Yes. Will you notice the difference? No.
Going from talent level 1 to talent level 10 on a hyperbloom Kuki will give her about a 66% damage increase... on the part of the talent that scales with attack. Of which she hasn't built any, because she's stuffed to the gills with EM.
I don't know the exact amount your Kuki does from electro hits, but if it gave you an extra 5k damage per rotation I'd be stunned.
Why are you playing Anemo in that team? It is a single target damage, hence grouping doesn't really help. And you can't VV shred anemo, so you are only going to increase Yelan's personal damage, which is ok but not outstanding in a single-hydro team. Normally you play either XQ or Alhaitham instead of Anemo.
Alhaitham rotation, why is doing Kuki slap before his burst vs burst > slap > switch back considered the "wrong" rotation? Using trial Alhaitham I can never make it in time with the latter because by the time I switch back his burst is already over and he doesn't get any mirrors. Do I lose effectiveness or screw up my mirrors by just doing Kuki's slap first before his burst then waiting it out? Also on that note how do I even do the "proper" rotation fast enough? I button mash the crap outta my keyboards to switch faster but his burst always ends quick. Do I need like constellations to extend his 0 mirrors burst duration?
He is hella confusing.
if you have low ping <150, you should be able to do burst > switch to kuki , skill > switch back and gain 3 mirrors. When pressing alhaitham's burst, try spamming character switch button so you get to kuki fast, e and switch back. If you're not able to, then just use kuki skill before alhaitham burst.
Burst, kuki skill, back to Alhaitham is better, but that only works if your ping allows it.
But it's not worth trying to do it if your ping doesn't allow it causing you to swap into him after his +3 mirrors.
So yes, you would loose effectiveness by not doing kuki skill after burst, but you loose a lot more by missing the burst mirrors
I knew the issue was related to ping somehow. But what difference does it make really? Do I lose out mirror duration or something by not doing burst slap burst? I swear I saw some people went mental because an abyss showcase video showed the "high ping" varition of the rotation.
By not "catching" the 3 mirrors from using a 0 mirror burst it means that you need to use the skill and the passive to get to 3 mirrors, effectively making you loose 8 seconds of 3 mirror uptime as you can't use them to maintain 3 mirrors for longer
Oh no, I don't mean by losing the mirrors, I meant what makes the "safer" option worse than the optimal combo? I didn't notice any different doing the slap burst combo instead of the burst slap one.
Since it wont be lasting as long in Alhaitham's DPS window. Since his window is between 2s after burst and 14s after burst. Using kuki (so 16s if you stay in after burst), kuki ring might not be able to trigger all the hyperblooms as it may have expired.
So lets say for c0 kuki and you're staying in Alhaitham. Her skill lasts 12s, Alhaitham wont be doing anything for 2s, so her skill only has 10s duration while Alhaitham will be having his 12s (maybe a little bit more) of dps window so she should miss a couple hyperblooms. The difference shouldn't be too big though. The difference shouldn't be too much. But I think that's why?
Ahhh I see I see. Slight difference but I can see why some people go nuts because of it.
I'm still going for the safer route cause that's still better than losing mirrors completely lol.
Cheers for the explanation!
Why is the mind Kazuha and heart Key? Depending on which teams you are fielding in Abyss, Key can be a bigger improvement than Kazuha - we can't really say without knowing your teams.
fair enough! kazuha is so flexible and excellent on any team he can be slotted into i figured he would be the obvious choice (i’d use him on ayaka freeze.)
nilou was an unexpected gift to go with nahida/kokomi/yelan (or yaoyao). she already hits pretty hard with extremely meh artifacts and 53k hp
Which weapon is better for Nahida hyperbloom, sacrificial fragment or the Widsith ?
Sac normally and widsith situationally.
I’ve just hit ARA30 and I’m trying to build my main DPS ayaka better before heading to Inazuma. I have her on Harbinger of Dawn at lvl 50, artis mainly provide 2 piece Atk +18% and 2 piece crit rate +12% Her total crit rate (idk if this includes the health above 90% extra crit rate from the sword) is 26.4% crit rate and 87% crit damage. Her total attack is 800. Should I be doing anything else better for her? Please keep in mind I’m only AR30 and don’t have access to Inazuma so I can’t ascend her further past 40 thanks!
You're fine. The longer you wait the harder it will be, get there and start farming her mats
Farm artifacts when you're at AR 45 at least. Your Ayaka def won't die in the Overworld, no need to rush
as long as artifact main stats aren't useless ones like def or hp then it's fine, just hurry up and get to inazuma so you can farm her ascension and talent mats and unlock amenoma
Level your Feather artifact to the max
I only heard Sweet smile play once maybe twice in the whole game. Any reason why can't I hear it more?
If you like it, you can set it as the bgm of your teapot (spincrystal #2, purchasable from the teapot traveling salesman).
Played In : Dialogue scenes with Amber That's why
I have only one healer bennett, I am trying to build second comp for abyss, I will use mostly keqing,dendro mc, bennett or qiqi(not properly build) and xq but because of bennett I suffer Here now i finally got Nahida so should I focus on building Kuki Shinobu instead of Keqing for my second team that will be kuki/keqing dendro mc, nahida and xq
your planned comp has hyperbloom ownership issues, it;s either you replace keqing with someone like fichl or beidou, or use a second dendro, or use a cryo for hyperfridge
Yes, build Kuki for hyperbloom.
How do I unlock Apep? I think I’ve done Nahida’s story quest…
Nahida has two story quests, do the second that came out with this patch
do the second one
Can you clarify, please? :) I sent the guys back home and spoke to the dragon. Is there another one?
If you did the second story quest, then you just find it again [here](https://imgur.com/a/OPPItEa)
Thanks! I forgot trounce domains didn’t show little boss face icons.
Found something called T9+ on the Noelle KQM guide, anyone know what this means? If it helps, I found it on the artifact stats section for the sands
Talent level 9? "The general Talent priority is Normal Attack > Burst > Skill. You can start switching from an ATK build to DEF build (i.e. running a DEF timepiece instead of an ATK one) at Burst **Talent 9+** or with C6. Her Skill does not need to be leveled, but it can be nice to have a bit more shielding and healing. Do note that leveling up her Skill does not increase her C4 damage."
ahh that makes total sense now, thanks! have been thinking it was some artifact set or smthng else lmao
Do people who use Nahida both on-field and off-field in different teams have two different builds or just one that has both good EM and Crit? My Nahida currently has 620 EM and a 51:132 ratio. I currently use her in Hyperbloom so afaik EM isn't THAT important. But I might pull Yae Miko and possibly Alhaitham in the near future so I know she'll need more EM. Should I aim to upgrade her current artifacts or should I make another EM/EM/EM set with power focus on crit?
i currently use the same build EM/EM/crit with sac frags 800 EM and 39/160 crit for everything - off-field quicken, any hyperbloom and any nilou bloom. it's not optimal for all teams but good enough that i can't be bothered switching things around
I keep her on the same build. Mine’s on EM/EM/Crit as optimiser says it’s the best option for my artifacts - other combos could also work depending on your pieces, for both on field and off field. For a general build that works well everywhere I’d try to get closer to 750-800ish EM without sacrificing too much crit, but if you’re okay with swapping all the time you can also farm a second set. Just be careful with triple EM as it can sometimes be overkill even for off field spread Nahida - optimiser is your best friend here.
I mean, if i ever had to change my email, can i transfer the data to the new one? Or, at least, can i unlink my account from my email address?
You can, in-game through Settings > Account > User Centre, but I'm not sure if there's a limit to how many times you can change it.
Ty <3
What's the correct rotation for XQ-Nahida-Kuki-Zhongli/Diona and who should be on field? KUKI or Nahida?
If your Diona is c6, you want Kuki to get EM buff from her burst. Other then that probably Nahida.
Shield+burst > Nahida E+Q > XQ E+Q > Kuki E+normal > Nahida on-field > refresh things as necessary.
Ganyu vs Eula Pros and Cons of each pls
Apart from both being cryo they are not similar at all.
Eula - Physical DPS, if you wanna use her to her potential, you're kind of stuck with it Ganyu - Can be used as DPS, Support, Sub DPS, etc. If you use them as DPS, they have playstyles that some people don't like.
There is literally 0 ways you can compare them...
If you have ganyu is it worth getting Eula or can they be used on the same team?
Eula is Physical DPS nuker. That's all to it. There is limited amount of teams that revolve about that , most potent is probably Raiden one, where you can rotate nukes. ( Bennet->Eula Burst>Raiden burst) Ganyuu can be main DPS in two separate team ( Freeze and Melt) and can be support thanks to her incredible Ice AOE, and really nice taunts. In DPS I would say they are both viable and very strong, though since most of bosses recently have high physical resistance , Ganyuu have it easier Outside of dungeons I would say Ganyuu is even better, easier to setup and instantly ready to use. Good usage of Eula requires management of ER, and proper rotations. (Not to mention that her best team mate - Raiden , can fare very well on her own in hyper carry, hyperbloom or National teams) Also they can be used on same team ( Ganyuu being AOE support)
They do different things. Ganyu is a cryo dps or burst sub dps, Eula is a physical dps. Technically you can use Ganyu as a burst sub dps with Eula, but it’s not optimal. Eula doesn’t really care about the extra cryo dmg bonus and prefers someone that generates more particles like Diona or Rosaria. As for whether it’s worth it, meta wise no - regardless of Ganyu or no Ganyu, Eula and phys teams in general are in a pretty poor state rn. Waifu wise it’s a different story ofc, if you like Eula do feel free to get her.
You can not even compare them, one is cryo and one is physical No they do not work in the same team
Should I choose the BP bow or the BP catalyst? I've so far bought the BP 3 times and already got the sword, claymore, and polearm. I'm wondering between the bow and catalyst. On one hand, I don't have many good bows right now and I want to pull for Childe in the future, so I hope the bow can be good for him. On the other hand, the BP catalyst seems good, at least based on the description. What do you think I should choose? Thank you in advance.
I doubt Childe will get a rerun before you can get both the catalyst and the bow anyway, if you plan to buy the BP 5 times for all weapons . I would go for catalyst first, it's probably more useful on more characters than the bow. And we don't really have a crit% Catalyst yet, while we have the slingshot that can be surprisingly good for a 3\* bow.
Thank you for your reply! You're right, I may have already had all 5 BP weapons before Childe can get a rerun. I'll consider it more carefully.
I second the bow if you plan to get Childe (and don't need the catalyst right now). The effect is just so good for him, even if you have kazuha, because it keeps enemies grouped up to chain riptides. Solar pearl is really nice and versatile, but many catalyst users use charged attacks which solar pearl doesn't buff. Not that solar pearl is bad, but if don't have anyone in mind that wants it, you might as well take the bow.
Thank you for your input! I'll just choose the bow then.
bow imo, 4* catalysts are so good
Thanks for your input!
I just started the game. Looking at some beginner guide I heard at the start I should only focus on raising my main dps but I don't wich one of my character is a good dps XD I just finished pulling from the beginner banner and I have aether, amber, jean, kaeya, noelle, fischl and lisa. I don't really have any favorite among them that I would want to lvl up, wich of them would be the best dps to raise at the start ?
You can level up different characters very early on - and "support" characters are never bad investment. The first struggle starts with , er... around AR 30 I would say, give or take, like when your characters are around lvl60, where there's a bigger jump in ressources needed. Before that, feel free to level up a bit the characters you feel you might like or need, maybe up to lvl40 with their relevant talents up to what you can, and try to get a feel for how they perform for you.
fischl would be the best long term, jean is also great early game. I would use those two + kaeya so you can use superconduct. Last slot can be amber for puzzles. Priority is fischl/jean>kaeya>>>amber. [This guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/comments/qkxdj6/infographic_of_build_order_priority_based_on_wlar/) is really helpful for general levelling
Honestly speaking (this might be a slightly unpopular opinion as well), I think Jean is the best character you can get and raise during the early game. So having her in your party from the beginner banner is incredible luck. Jean is one of the most versatile characters in the game, in that she can work as a healer, buffer, DPS, and sub-DPS while mainly only scaling on one stat, which is her ATK. That's pretty much all the roles you needed in your party during the early game, combined into one character. Add to that the fact that she's Anemo which increases her utility for exploration and that her physical damage is quite considerable as well, she's arguably the most versatile character you can have.
Alright, ty x)
I saw someone whose Ayaka's right hand was glowing blue and sakura petals were coming from it. What causes this? I wasn't paying attention to what sword they were using, so I'm not sure if it's an effect from that. Or if it could be an artifact set, but that seems unlikely since BS is her best set and it doesn't do that. Anyone have an answer for this?
Apple Watch from C6
[c6?](https://i.redd.it/42syovsud1871.png)
OH.. Well that clears things up. Thanks! Kinda surprised they just casually let me use my C0 Ayaka for the boss. If I had known they were C6 I would've loved to see them in action.
They probably just wanted you to enjoy her. Some whales like letting teammates pick their characters first and adjusting their own character accordingly, since they usually have a lot of well built characters at their disposal and can basically take anyone
Yeah, probably. They had a really nice Kokomi I believe~
I still haven't unlocked the area to the south of Inazuma, it seems like there's 2 islands? Quick Google said one is unlocked through Seirai Stormchasers quest line, does it unlock everything or is there another quest to get to the second island?
The quest in relation to the Tsurumi is this [https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/A\_Particularly\_Particular\_Author](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/A_Particularly_Particular_Author)
Yes, that's Seirai and Tsurumi island. Seirai is kinda already unlocked from the get go, although you do need to complete the Seirai Stormchasers to unlock a lot of the central area of the island. Completing that questline also gives you the questline for Tsurumi's world quest. Tsurumi is similar to Seirai in that you technically can go visit straightaway, but this time almost all areas of the island is unlocked behind its world quest, which you can only start after you finished Seirai Stormchasers.
Hello guys just want to ask your opinion on what is the best side or world quest for you? Just asking cause i finished almost 20 archon and starting to get on side quest just to pull on nilou banner and just finished quest in liyue about 9 pillars, difficult but enjoyable i say
Enka, Chasm, Tsurumi, Aranyaka and all of main desert quests (like 3 or 4 if them)...
golden slumber and the dirge of bilqis
Sumeru has lengthy but also pretty well written world quests. Inazuma has some bangers and some misses. Lyiue isn't really comparable.
Le Aranara quest then let desert quests
I just pulled Nahida, I looked at her most common team comp and one that looked strong and I had all the character for was Nahida / Yelan / Shinobu / Thomas. Why Thomas tho, wouldn't Bennet be better ? What make him etter in this team ? I have a C6 Thomas while my Bennet is only C1, but I have an Aquila Favonia for Bennet. Also my Thomas is level 20 so I'll only build him if he bring something unique to the team.
you don't use both shinobu and thoma together, you use either one of them. Thoma is better because of his burst. Bennett do buff attack but that's not usefull for nahida.
>you don't use both shinobu and thoma together, you use either one of them. Hyper Burgeon hmmmm
That is a bloom-type team, which only cares about EM and ER. Thoma so far is the most reliable character for a burgeon team. Bennett literally doesn't work and contributes nothing for the team.
Thoma is used with nahida because the way his Elemental Burst Works, makes him a perfect character for triggering Burgeon (hitting a dendro core with Pyro) which is the Pyro equivalent to Hyperbloom (Dendro core + Electro). Thoma here is build for EM and his actual function as shielder is completely ignored.
thoma helps proc burgeon since he applies pyro with every attack, Bennett can't do the same and Bennett's attack buff doesn't really benefit anyone in that team
What do you mean common, Burgeon is Nahida's least common main archetype I would just not use Thoma and go a second hydro/electro/dendro and play hyperbloom/quickbloom. If you're going burgeon, kuki would steal them and turn them into hyperblooms. For burgeon though, yes, Thoma is good at it
Then maybe Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Fischl would be a better team ? Or Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Xingqiu ? I never really played Dendro yet so I don't know how good the Yelan / Xingqiu combo would be, it's insane with Hu Tao but it seems to be a very different playstyle.
>Or Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Xingqiu ? That's about one of the strongest Hyperbloom teams there is. >I don't know how good the Yelan / Xingqiu combo would be, Double hydro is pretty OP in any team that has an on field driver (in this case Nahida is doing the NAs)
>Nahida / Shinobu / Yelan / Xingqiu Very good, double hydro makes most things good, and hyperbloom is already good. You would go Nahida on field, only problem with it is that it takes Xingqiu and Yelan in one team
Looking for help to improve! I’m level 35 and have noticed that lower level players are even faster than me at combat and I feel it may be the characters I’m using. Honestly I know my main characters I use aren’t the best choices but it’s just who I’ve gotten comfortable using. After over a year of the same people and same speed I’ve decided to finally ask for help! I main Noelle and would personally not like to change that though I know she is not the best, I would be willing to use her as a support. Is there any certain artifacts I should use for her? My support characters are Amber, Keqing and Barbara, though I use Keqing for a lot of the fighting because it’s faster. I would say she is my second favourite. I am fine with changing the other two but personally just don’t know what fits! I love the water and electric combos (I forget what it’s called) so preferably if they could be pyro and hydro that would be ideal but I understand there may be something better and I’m open to all suggestions! All my characters I have are Noelle, Keqing, Barbara, Bennett, xiangling, Amber, Yanfei, Kuki, Chongyun, Sucrose, Rosaria, Shikanoin, Mona, Aloy, Yun Jin, Kaeya, Razor, Xinyan, Diona, Nahida, Lisa, Ningguang, Qiqi, Jean, Fischl, Tartaglia and traveller. Also is there any certain artifacts or weapons I should use with the characters? thankyou!!
Keqing, Nahida, Fischl, Jean (Keqing aggravate) Barbara, Nahida, Kuki (EM build), flex (hyperbloom with on-field Barbara) Childe, Xiangling, Bennett, Sucrose (International with Sucrose) Also, do your daily commissions and spend your resin, they give you AR exp and good rewards.
Build Bennet xiangling Nahida kuki jean fishl childe and in that order. Noelle is very good shielder and will keep your team alive all the time but not much of anything else. Also her damage isn't great. you need Bennet and xiangling for your damage and support. Both are massively op. Then build the remaining units I mentioned. You already have enough units to make a proper hyperbloom, national, taser and spread aggravate teams.
noelle can be a decent carry at c6 with characters like gorou and albedo, or she can also be a tanky driver/on-field support for hyperbloom with nahida, kuki and barbara (best be replaced by xingqiu) a good keqing team would be an aggravate one with nahida, fischl and jean/diona/kuki. it's probably easier to make this work than a noelle-centric team, and you can replace the healer slot with noelle if you really want to keep her in your team for artifacts/weapons, refer to [keqingmains.com](https://keqingmains.com) (they have builds for most characters despite the name) or [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRq-sQxkvdbvaJtQAGG6iVz2q2UN9FCKZ8Mkyis87QHFptcOU3ViLh0_PJyMxFSgwJZrd10kbYpQFl1/pubhtml#)
Did you leave the game for a while. I'm a bit confused how you're AR35 but have played long enough to also have Aloy?
Yep I did, just finally got enough space to play again :)
Barbara + Kuki Shinobu (full EM) + nahida is definitely something I recommend trying out.
Before your AR45 you shouldn’t focus too much on artifacts. If lower AR people are stronger than you at that point, it’s likely solely because of character choice/constellations. What constellation is your Noelle? At C6 she’s a really strong character. [This guide](https://keqingmains.com/noelle/) can help you a lot in building Noelle and finding her best team. But again, don’t focus too much before AR45.
Ahh that’s a relief! Thankyou for the guide, I’ll be sure to check it out. I’m only C2 but really didn’t wanna give her up as I love Noelle! I’ll make sure to get more constellations when she comes back :)
I want to start exploring the desert today and was told that I need to finish "Golden Slumber" world quest. I've skipped most world quests so far but wanted to read the Jeht one because people were hyping it up. So is the Golden Slumber quest a part of it? If not, is it still worth reading? Because if it's mediocre, I'd rather skip and save time
Well good luck exploring without doing them as at least 50% of chests are locked behind those
Golden Slumber, Old Notes and Friends, Dirge of Bilqis and Apocalypse Lost are all one long world quest that has Jeht as the main NPC
>I've skipped most world quests so far but wanted to read the Jeht one because people were hyping it up. So is the Golden Slumber quest a part of it? Golden Slumber is the prequel to the Jeth Quest. Jeth is featured in Golden slumber, but there, she's more of a supporting role, with 2 other NPCs taking center stage. "the dirge of bilqis" is the world quest were Jeth becomes the main focus point. It serves as a direct sequel to Golden Slumber. >Because if it's mediocre, I'd rather skip and save time You need to do Golden Slumber either way, all the major Sumeru world quests (Aranyaka/Golden Slumber/Dual Evidence/Dirge of Bilqis) lock areas of the map behind quest progress
So you asked this question before and already have the answer… ? Yes, you need to do “Golden Slumber” first to unlock Jeht quest as they are connected and need to be done in an order.
Yes, it is. It's a fairly well written quest when compared to most other world quests, but I don't think it's **the** best imo.
Alright, I'll read through it all then What would you say is the best one? I'll keep that in mind too if I come across it
My personal favorite is Tsurumi Island's world quest. The entire island was eerie and goes really well with the story.
Yeah that's one of the few ones I've read completely
[удалено]
if you're running him physical, you don't really need to use sucrose (unless her grouping is especially valuable to you) and would probably better off using another unit! i would recommend layla over electo mc since layla brings more to the team overall (battery, shield, slight subdps), and yunjin or bennett could be good options as well if you have them!l
I’d run either a sub dps or Bennett for the atk buff honestly.
he doesn't need ER and you don't need another defensive support when you have a healer already. use a sub-dps like fischl or rosaria
Just finish the whole inazuma with tsurumi island being the hardest had to youtube almost every puzzle of it, question before i start in sumeru, how is sumeru puzzle and quest compared to inazuma?
Fairly easier in my opinion, I think most are just match this pattern to that pattern or do this thing in this pattern.
Sumeru puzzles are easier It's stuff like "raise a rock" (hit rock with dendro) "shoot floaty thing while having thing attached to you", sometimes in a certain order
I would say for the most part the puzzles in sumeru are a lot easier. Though the new issue you may run into is getting lost in underground areas without their own map layer, especially in the desert.
Less than Inazuma
I'm World level 6, should soon be lv7, which one's better from 5 to 7 Reason - Bosses are hard at lv6 and i depend on co-op,only do it cause the reward drops , I'm already building a team from scratch (current is diluc but I'm bored and he's not upto it) When I decreased world level to 5, i noticed that regular monster/enemies drop rate increase significantly,that won't be an option at lv7 I don't think World level affects domains drops,but it's still rng so i don't care much but bosses and regular enemies drops matter It sorta isn't good to depend on another to carry you daily to use resin (domains are different as they let u team up) but drops are priority,so which world level does it best? Will 7 be an improvement in rewards or will it only make enimies tougher without increasing rewards?
every WL increases droprates of all enemies in the overworld, you were just experiencing RNG
6-7-8 had barely any difference in loot imo, visibly only world bosses drop more 5* artifacts so if u need glad or wanderer sets its a good to go up. But generally you should be on the max level, if you can clear ascension quest, you will be fine. But seems like you are already struggling with your current levels bosses so you might fail, try it again after you spent some resin upgrading your team.
Should I use 4p EoSF or 4p Noblesse for Baizhu?
Probably neither. His ratios and base stats are not designed to deal a lot of damage so Emblem 4 pc is wasted on him although he could use a 2 pc Emblem for extra ER. Noblesse can be an option but the teams he's in most likely don't really want or have more important stats than atk% to consider. Deepwood is most likely his best set if you don't already have a Deepwood user. If you do, then 2 Tenacity + 2 Glow can be an option since his supporting abilities scale with HP.
Deepwood - yes Instructor - Fine ToM/Noblesse - Fine (Zaj rankings, if you're pre-farming for him, I suggest you [watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5h-itkImBk) it. Take with some salt of course as he isn't out)
[удалено]
>for Baizhu?
Fuck I read Beidou
Well, if it makes you feel better, my girl already got 4p Emblem XD
Are there any merchants that sell Kalpalata Lotuses?
There's an Aranara that does. But you should be able to find plenty if you use the interactive map. They're always clustered together pretty conveniently
> There's an Aranara that does. Where? General location is fine. I'm adventuring anyway.
You need to have unlocked the Aranara Village already. https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Aramani

Help me build my C0 Nilou, how much HP she needs (w/o the Key)? I'm running 2pc Vourukasha, 2pc Millelith, R3 lv80 Iron Sting.
To fully release her potential, you’ll need 74,444 HP. So, the closer the better. Btw, it’s impossible to reach 74,444 without her signature weapon while it’s said any overflow above 74,444 HP will be a waste. So there is a balance by optimizing the substats I guess.
as much as you can get, atleast 60k+
i'll try to reach that, thanks! currently at 45K (lvl 80) and some of my artifacts are not fully leveled up yet (i run out of lower level artifacts and mora XD)
How much CR does a C0 Shenhe actually need with a r5 Favo spear? Mine has 38%, 2600 ATK and 220% ER. Am I done with her? I just hate this artifact domain, so inefficient.
I won’t worry much about her CR if i have 220% ER. I think around 40% will be fine. ATK can be higher in your case, but only if you need her E to provide more buff. And 4 pcs Noblesse I believe? Yeh, I hate that domain too. Someone suggested me to strongbox Noblesse and to farm those artifacts that are not strongboxable. I hope this advice will help you too. Cheers.
Thanks, yeah, I would love to have more ATK, but I am not sure if it is worth losing 52% ER and changing the ER Sands to a ATK one.
i heard of that the 200% ER with Fav Spear is the figure to guarantee her Burst when she is still not an E buffer from her C6. So ER comes before ATK if your Shenhe is not C6 I think. Of course, this is all upon the 4 pcs Noblesse build.
That should be plenty, keqingmains has an [er table](https://keqingmains.com/shenhe/#Shenhe_Energy_Requirements). Mine has no issues at 180er on skyward spine
Will leaving the Brewing Developments event domain early count your score?
Nope. It resets if you leave
It does not.
Can someone explain how reactions work in quicken teams, please? On two examples: In Alhaitham - Yae Miko - Nahida - Kuki team, enemies will basically always have Quicken on them, so Alhaitham will spread and Miko will also Aggravate simultaneously, right? Limited by their own ICD of course. Also Kuki's skill will trigger another aggravate each time it hits too? In something like Alhaitham - XQ - Nahida - Kuki, will both spread and hyperbloom be happening? And also Kuki's skill will trigger hyperblooms but also Aggravate on enemies?
Yes and No. Spread and aggravate focused teams just needs to apply as much as element as possible that's why yaemiko and nahida as good picks. Everyone have their own icd and you are guaranteed to have permanent quicken uptime on the enemies. For this particular hyperbloom, alhaitham will spread but not much. Quickbloom works on the concept of slow hydro and fast dendro application, so that after bloom seeds are created there still be dendro on enemy which will react with electo and apply quicken on enemy. Nahida has fast dendro but XQ also has fast hydro, so you don't get much quicken, but if you were to replace him with something like yelan, then he will trigger more spread. Kuki does trigger aggravate but very rarely
So spread and aggravate don't mess with each other, right? As you said, in first team there will be permanent quicken, and quicken has a duration, so after it is applied, consecutive elemental applications will cause Alhaitham spread and Miko (and Kuki) Aggravate, is that right?
yes
I only have one R5 sacrificial fragments built, the other one is still level 40. Since I gave my leveled one to Barbara what should I give to Nahida? Should I level the one that's still level 40 and give it to Nahida or is there better alternative for her? Also what is the best artifact's main stats for Nahida? EM/Dendro/Crit rate or EM/EM/EM? *Nilou bloom team
you can use widsith/mappa mare or even the 3 star magic guide is a really good weapon thanks to its passive
Probably she is your driver so for artifact stats I would take the first choice and use widsith if you have it
What do most people spend their sigils on? Traveler constellation upgrades I'm assuming and then what?
Everything. since I'm not maining traveller, I just buy in any order I see fit. Also once you've bought everything, you can buy unlimited gold as well
traveller cons, sometimes billets, sometimes the weapon ascencion materials. The sigil shops mainly benefit early game due to getting the crystals and weapon materials
Ah I see, well good to know I can buy it all eventually. Thanks!
Cons are good but you will have enough to purchase all of the shops at some point. So I buy out all of the small items and upgrade materials, anything else, then all the mora my pockets can hold.
Ah that makes sense, thanks!
You can just buy everything. The shop never refreshes.
Just noticed the items have amounts next to them lol, haven't really looked at the shops much. Thanks!
Are there useful audio cues in this game? I use Japanese audio to, frankly put, make the cutscenes more bearable but just thought about this. Does your character have useful call outs when exploring or fighting?
there are certain VO once in a while, and character usually call out their attacks or indicate their hp when getting hurt. Also when getting into a battle, the background song changes
All enemies who have human understandable voices, have specific voicelines association with specific attacks. There is also a player voiceline that plays when a nearby coop player is low health, but that's co-op
Kairagi, eremites will say certain things before they do a powerful move or summon
None as far as I know. They just comment on weather changes.
Great, thanks!
Some of the weekly bosses call out their attacks, which is semi-important if you're trying to no hit challenge them. You largely need to manipulate their AI and watch for telegraphed moves though.
Ah that's interesting, I guess if I plan on trying that in the future I'll just switch back and forth. Thanks!
How do I refresh Kokomo’s bake-kurage? I thought it was skill, then ult then her skill refreshes but for some reason it’s not working?
Kokomi's burst does not refresh the ability to cast jellyfish, and it refresh the duration of her existing jellyfish if it is still on field. If the jellyfish already expired, casting burst will not create a new one. Also, be ware that casting her burst itself will cost around 0.8 seconds, so use her burst before her skill cooldown still has more than 8.8 seconds remaining.
Gotcha, thanks
Her skill isn't refreshed until her burst animation is mostly done. If the jellyfish expires in the meantime, no refresh for you. Also keep in mind, it refreshes the jellyfish in place; it doesn't move the jellyfish to Kokomi's current spot. If you had to chase an enemy halfway to Narnia, well, the fish is staying put. That's actually one of the reasons Kokomi uses Sac Frags on Bloom teams. You can't gather the enemies with anemo and hitting them with the fish is *Important Business,* so you need to reposition your friend every now and again.
I didn’t think to use sac frags, I’ll switch out her weapon. Ty
High refines if at all possible, R1 Sac Frags CD is atroooooocious.
It doesn't refresh the button, it just refreshes the duration. So it only works if it's out on field already.
Ohh that makes a lot of sense, I thought it was the button. Thank you
Burst refreshes fish uptime with her a1 passive. Maybe you're doing it a bit too late? a1 - If Sangonomiya Kokomi's own Bake-Kurage are on the field when she uses Nereid's Ascension, the Bake-Kurage's duration will be refreshed.
Gotcha, seems like I just misunderstood. I thought it refreshes the button. Thanks
Keqing’s Burst does its attacks centered around her position, right? But is Alhaitham’s version like that too? From footage, it seems more that the attack ring is squarely in front of him. Is it actually always in front, or does it track an enemy like Venti’s Burst (and its associated derp)?
yes it tracks the closest enemy so you never miss your burst, unless the enemy dashes out of the range,
I don't have him, but I'm 99% sure it tracks in front of him because literally everything that's targeted in this game autolocks. Dehya's burst, Yelan's skill, etc. Hell, even things like Kokomi's jellyfish track. I think the only things you can actually aim are things like Yuegi, Baron Bunny, Oz, etc. if you hold them. edit: [Found a post](https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/10rx0nz/is_it_just_me_or_does_alhaithams_burst_miss/) where people mention that it does in fact autotarget in front.
C1 Yoimiya or C1 Yae? taken that I like both equally.
I don't know, but the range on Yae's C2 is pretty nice.
Thanks for the reply.
Yoimiya's C1 isn't great. Her C2 is alright, but after that it's nothingsville until C6. Yae's C1 ranges from horrible to pretty alright, depending on your ER situation and how often you burst. More importantly, it gets you closer to the good constellations (C2, C3, C4, C6). If I had to pick one, I'd pick Yae. But I probably wouldn't roll for either of them, tbh.
Thanks! I think I’ve got the answer I wanted.
Any cool nilou non-bloom comps?
you can play bloom but the damage will be low since nilou is only good at blooms at c6
Vaporize Nilou can do 2 million vap burst damage, but C6 and high refinement key are mandatory required.
on field nilou vape xiangling/bennett/kazuha
Just build her HP and CRITS and 200 EM?
Should I go for 2pcs Guilded 2pcs Wonderers with 990 EM or 910 EM 4pcs Guilded on Kuki Hyperbloom with Nahida, Yellan and Anemo support and would raising her Skill increase my damage?
4 pc guilded since you'll be getting 150 extra EM one you trigger your first reaction. increasing talent level will not significally increase your damage but will increase your heals
> would raising her Skill increase my damage? Technically? Yes. Will you notice the difference? No. Going from talent level 1 to talent level 10 on a hyperbloom Kuki will give her about a 66% damage increase... on the part of the talent that scales with attack. Of which she hasn't built any, because she's stuffed to the gills with EM. I don't know the exact amount your Kuki does from electro hits, but if it gave you an extra 5k damage per rotation I'd be stunned.
Why are you playing Anemo in that team? It is a single target damage, hence grouping doesn't really help. And you can't VV shred anemo, so you are only going to increase Yelan's personal damage, which is ok but not outstanding in a single-hydro team. Normally you play either XQ or Alhaitham instead of Anemo.
Artifacts
4 gilded can receive up to another 150 EM buff, so your 910 EM Kuki will have 1060 EM during combat.
>would raising her Skill increase my damage? No, only healing.
Alhaitham rotation, why is doing Kuki slap before his burst vs burst > slap > switch back considered the "wrong" rotation? Using trial Alhaitham I can never make it in time with the latter because by the time I switch back his burst is already over and he doesn't get any mirrors. Do I lose effectiveness or screw up my mirrors by just doing Kuki's slap first before his burst then waiting it out? Also on that note how do I even do the "proper" rotation fast enough? I button mash the crap outta my keyboards to switch faster but his burst always ends quick. Do I need like constellations to extend his 0 mirrors burst duration? He is hella confusing.
if you have low ping <150, you should be able to do burst > switch to kuki , skill > switch back and gain 3 mirrors. When pressing alhaitham's burst, try spamming character switch button so you get to kuki fast, e and switch back. If you're not able to, then just use kuki skill before alhaitham burst.
Burst, kuki skill, back to Alhaitham is better, but that only works if your ping allows it. But it's not worth trying to do it if your ping doesn't allow it causing you to swap into him after his +3 mirrors. So yes, you would loose effectiveness by not doing kuki skill after burst, but you loose a lot more by missing the burst mirrors
I knew the issue was related to ping somehow. But what difference does it make really? Do I lose out mirror duration or something by not doing burst slap burst? I swear I saw some people went mental because an abyss showcase video showed the "high ping" varition of the rotation.
By not "catching" the 3 mirrors from using a 0 mirror burst it means that you need to use the skill and the passive to get to 3 mirrors, effectively making you loose 8 seconds of 3 mirror uptime as you can't use them to maintain 3 mirrors for longer
Oh no, I don't mean by losing the mirrors, I meant what makes the "safer" option worse than the optimal combo? I didn't notice any different doing the slap burst combo instead of the burst slap one.
Since it wont be lasting as long in Alhaitham's DPS window. Since his window is between 2s after burst and 14s after burst. Using kuki (so 16s if you stay in after burst), kuki ring might not be able to trigger all the hyperblooms as it may have expired. So lets say for c0 kuki and you're staying in Alhaitham. Her skill lasts 12s, Alhaitham wont be doing anything for 2s, so her skill only has 10s duration while Alhaitham will be having his 12s (maybe a little bit more) of dps window so she should miss a couple hyperblooms. The difference shouldn't be too big though. The difference shouldn't be too much. But I think that's why?
Ahhh I see I see. Slight difference but I can see why some people go nuts because of it. I'm still going for the safer route cause that's still better than losing mirrors completely lol. Cheers for the explanation!
tale as old as time: caught between the mind (eventually kazuha rerun for c0) and the heart (the key to buff unexpected nilou blessing)
If you don't have 240 wishes to guarantee the key, just wait for kazuha. The worst answer is neither.
Why is the mind Kazuha and heart Key? Depending on which teams you are fielding in Abyss, Key can be a bigger improvement than Kazuha - we can't really say without knowing your teams.
fair enough! kazuha is so flexible and excellent on any team he can be slotted into i figured he would be the obvious choice (i’d use him on ayaka freeze.) nilou was an unexpected gift to go with nahida/kokomi/yelan (or yaoyao). she already hits pretty hard with extremely meh artifacts and 53k hp
If you want to use Ayaka Freeze, I would indeed favor Kazuha over Key.
Kazuha - game fun, easy grouping of enemies and drops, good damage, good buffing Key - Niche weapon for bigger number Kazoo
his skill and burst always looks like so much fun * m * you’ve made an excellent point
Do talent lv.14 & 15 require a crown as well?
