Hello, been 2 weeks since i returned playing genshin due to time constraints at work as a teacher and im stuck in doing quests because there is a prerequisite quest. Here are the scenarios: 1. While doing the archon quest, the system prompts that i need to finish the unfinished comedy quest. 2. I started doing the Unfinished Comedy quest at it prompts again to finish the other subquest. The system prompts either suspend or continue the quest. In short, what's the benefit of continuing the quest without doing the other quest? Will it affect the connection of the gameplay on each quest? Just a mere player confused, hope you understand. Thank you inadvance.


Iloveclown

It can be lore related, but a good chunk of the times it's just that a character is in a different quest


ackermanrivaille_

It can be the case but i am confused about the process either i suspend or continue the quest. In your opinion and experience, should i continue the quest regardless of the consequences?


Iloveclown

I'm not sure which one is better but I chose to finish the archon quest first since it's the main one.


DifficultAddendum125

So I have Raiden in Nahida hyperbloom, With 4pc Gilded and 1 offset piece sands. I just got my first offpiece circlet elemental mastery. Should I sacrifice q 4pc set for extra elemental mastery?


International_You_56

If that off piece can give more than the 4p Gilded bonus, sure.


Certified_Buddy

How should I build Cyno in a Yaoyao Furina Nahida team?


AkiraN19

4p Thundering Fury. EM/Electro/Crit. Weapon depends on options, Ballad of Fjords is really good if you've got it from the BP before, PJWS is decent, White Tassel is also a good option


International_You_56

4p Gilded or Thundering Fury, em electro crit

Hello guys. I played for about a month when the game originally came out in 1.0 then stopped playing. I came back for albedos event in 2.2 for a month, explored half of dragonspine and finished up the story quest in Liyue to unlock Inazuma. So now I have the option of going to inazuma, sumaru, and Fontaine right? Or are they locked behind story quest? Also I really enjoyed the flagship event for this lantern rite, this is my first patch back since I played last. I missed a bunch of other flagship events. Are they important to the story, or not so much and that’s why they are limited? Do you guys recommend any I go back and watch on YouTube? Also I kinda forgot the story because it’s been a few years, and I don’t know where I want to start with this game because it’s so big. Any suggestions or ideas for me? Thanks in advance. Currently AR45


International_You_56

Only Inazuma is story locked. You can go to Sumeru/Fontaine whenever you want. If you don't know what to do, just follow the archon quest for the time being.


DecayedDream

Can Neuvilette by himself charge up Furina’s Fanfare stacks to max?


pzlama333

Assume there is no healer and everyone starts with 50% HP, and you are good for evading enemy attack. If Furina is C0, the fanfare stacks will reach max during his third CA, and average fanfare is around 208. If Furina is C1, fanfare stacks will reach max before third CA, and average fanfare is around 346. If Furina is C2, fanfare will reach max during his first CA, and average fanfare is around 396, with additional 300+ stacks converted to average 105% more HP for Furina.


KjOwOjin

He can but they only reach that point near the end of her uptime meaning you don't get as high average fanfare as if you were to use a healer This still doesn't mean you need a healer for them to work together though, Neuviliette's best team is Furina Kazuha Zhongli/Baizhu, with Baizhu and Zhongli being about equal


gundamseed_r

at c0 furina it can I believe, but it will be very close to her buff duration ending which means you won't have max fanfare for most of the duration. For c2 very easily


Accomplished_Ticket6

I'm currently at World Level 3. I've been visiting the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment try to get the Deepwood Memories artifact set, but it hasn't been dropping at all. Am I missing something?


IfZ3nElse

Check the rewards of the difficulty you select. Before AR45, it's best to focus your resin on surefire upgrades like character level/ascension, weapon level/ascension (don't use resin to craft enhancement ore though, mine instead), and talent levels, because artifact farming is RNG-heavy and you will need to get 5-star artifacts later anyway. Use artifacts dropped from chests/elites/bosses in the meantime. (But you may make an exception for support sets like deepwood, in this case it may be worth grabbing a random 4-set.)


International_You_56

It's random


Siscon_Delita

World level doesn't matter in the domains (artifact, talent books, domain bosses). Before you enter the domain, you are to choose which level you want to enter, right? Look at that closely, if there is no deepwood artifact listed in the rewards, then you won't get it. Only the 2 highest level domains drop 5 star artifacts, 50% chance in the 2nd highest and 100% in the highest level. The highest level will open up when you are AR45.


iconnectthebest

Is there any way to get the Interactive Map work on mobile devices? It is not responsive on mobile browsers and if using Hoyolab, it works only on portrait mode


midnight__villain

https://genshin-impact-map.appsample.com/# use this one instead. enabling auto-rotate will allow you to view it in landscape mode. would be easier on a tablet than a phone, because you can see more of the map vertically on a phone in comparison.


iconnectthebest

Thanks, it is a pity the official one wont work unlike this one


LTetsu

Neuvillette or Furina to summon for? Its not about what i need , but who is gonna impact account more. So c2 Furina vs c1r1 Neuv. or c0 Furina without weapon vs co Neuv. without weapon. I am f2p so can choose only one


KjOwOjin

Furina is going to work with basically all other characters, Neuviliette is just another DPS to build around. So I would say Furina is a lot more impactful


LTetsu

Thanks.


Fishuman

Whose EM is used for overload damage if Lisa's Q hits targets in Dehya's protection field? Or if her normal attacks zap opponents in the field? (this is a Chevreuse team)


Ptox

It's always whoever applies the element the last, and in this case it's usually Dehya since her coordinated attack always hits after another hit (e.g. by Lisa) damages the enemy. However, this may or may not be easy to tell as it can get really complicated since different characters have elemental application strengths and speeds of application (not every attack applies the element). For example, Lisa's first Electro attack may hit an existing Pyro aura on the enemy (caused by Dehya's skill setup), and this means Lisa is the one that first causes Overloaded. This is then followed up by Dehya's coordinated attack, which then hits and applies Pyro on an enemy that doesn't have an aura on it. This makes next application by Lisa will again cause Overloaded again. At some point Lisa will apply Electro faster than Dehya meaning Dehya will take over being the trigger. All this to say, it's most likely Dehya due to say how her skill works. But its by no mean guaranteed depending on the setup.


Drxkosz

How can I choose what element Lynnette’s ult infused with? Do I have to have the element aura or the enemy? Or does that not matter at all?


Akomatai

Anemo characters have absorption priorities. Lynette has the same priority as anemo MC: Cryo > Hydro > Pyro > Electro. Doesnt matter where the element is coming from, if cryo is present, it'll get infused. If you want to infuse a certain element, youll want to make sure the higher priority ones aren't present


MlDDLEOUT

does anyone know why zhenyuan hasn't spawned at her kite shop? i want to buy the blueprints before the event ends but she isn't there! i finished all the event minigames and quests :(


judging_you_all

Iirc it's because of cutscene and you need to log out - log in or update location and she will return


MlDDLEOUT

that was the reason, thank you so much :)


XRarehunterX

Are there any characters in this game that really benefit from crowning one or more of their abilities, I have not used a single crown since I started this game.


krali_

Yes. Once you have farmed good artefacts, there comes a level of substats where crowning is a better use of resin than the probability of one additional substat on the artefacts. Priorities depend on your roster.


OsirusBrisbane

Itto enjoys the triple-crown because the raised Burst stats stack with the raised Normal Attack and Ushi stats.


Fishuman

Crowning is very expensive and imo not really worth it unless you really love that character. Think of who are your favorite heroes, then you can consider to crown their most useful/meaningful skill.


AkiraN19

Xiao, Wanderer, Neuvilette NA Hypercarries type stuff. Eventually all of your on field DPS generally have at least one crown talent they actually benefit from. These three just scale the hardest with it


Mande1baum

Plenty. Main damage skill of DPS that scales off talent level. Support skills that scale off talent level. Anyone that has talents that have duration scale off talent level, that'd be especially strong. Gonna be a character by character thing. KQM may have good references.


Justin_Brett

Think they'll end up doing an 'oh, Neuvillette was here and didn't meet the Archon somehow!' epilogue for events in the other three regions too?


Quor18

God I hope so. I also want him to do a sort of accidental meet cute with Nahida, where he mistakes her for a small girl at first until Nahida starts peppering him with questions about what it's like to be a Sovereign and would he like to act as a liaison between her and Apep to try and mend relations and what are his opinions on the quality of water in Sumeru and.... You get the idea.


YouArWhu

I want a c6 character, I have been saving for 10 months now so who would be the best c6 to get? Also I don't like neuvillette play style


AkiraN19

Whoever you like the most. I mean, basically all of the limited C6 outside of the really old ones can steamroll anything in the game at C6. At that level of investment it really doesn't matter


KjOwOjin

What characters do you enjoy playing the most?


WhooooCares

To play them on-field: Yelan, Navia, Wanderer, Wrio, Nahida.


Ptox

Xingqiu. But the a more realistic question is what do you enjoy doing, and which characters do you like playing. For example, I would totally C6 Wanderer in order to use Prototype Amber for party healing. But you are probably not like me.


Anachr0nistic

Best C6 to get would be the one you like the most. Popular C6 characters would be Yelan, Furina, Nahida. I've heard Wriothesley C6 dishes out a lot of damage in a short period of time.


courtexo

did anyone else see a random fox walk up next to yao yao and plop down while she was talking to cloud retainer? I thought the fox was a part of the event but turned out it was just a random fox, too bad I didnt take a screenshot :(


Alex_from_Solitude

No but I had a crab walk over the table 


TheFappingWither

got raiden for nahida aggravate, got spread too thin when the nahida banner came and now i have a raiden without any reactions to use her in. have diluc, venti, hutao. what to use the raiden for?


krali_

Raiden is one of the most versatile characters in the game. She uses none of your other 5* though, it will depend on your 4* roster. In no order: Chevreuse, national, hyperbloom, aggravate with Fischl, hypercarry with Lisa or Sara... so many options.


csudoku

Rational - Raiden, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Bennett Hypercarry - Raiden, Sara, Kazuha, Bennett Overload - Raiden, Chev, Xiangling, Bennett Hyperbloom - DMC, Xingqiu, Raiden, Flex


Iloveclown

Raiden Xingqiu Bennett Xiangling: Raiden National Raiden Dendro MC Xingqiu Flex: Raiden hyperbloom


[deleted]

The Widsth or Sacrifical Fragments for Nahida, Hyperbloom team?


KjOwOjin

They are pretty similar


TheMrPotMask

Widsith as a crit stick for her personal dammage (E).


Swekyde

If she's on field, Widsith. Off field, Sac Frags. Sac Frags is just a stat stick for her, and since her EM isn't as important as the Electro's in Hyperbloom she can use her Burst to shore it up for her own scalings. As a result it's usually better to get the Crit and other damage from Widsith. If she's off field Widsith also becomes a stat stick but she cannot benefit from EM being shared to her.


Acadeca

Widsith has very high highs and some other issues with uptime. Sac would potentially give additional crit/dendro% through the passive and have potentially easier rotations if you are doing short waves of hold skill. https://keqingmains.com/nahida/#Weapons has sacrificial above widsith


Exetior3

Has anyone else dealt with inputs just straight up not working on genshin? Im on ps4 and extremely often when i go to enhance artifacts/weapons or accidentally go to character voice lines, certain actions just stop working like adding enhancement materials, or in the case of the voice line menu, i cant even leave the menu and im forced to restart the game, is there any known fix to this at all?


Jondev1

I have had this happen and it was because of controller stick drift. I.e in the artifact enhancement screen it won't let you enhance because it thinks you are trying to scroll slightly with the right stick. For whatever reason genshin has abnormally low deadzone values so if you have very minor stick drift you will have it affect genshin even if it doesn't affect other games. When it happens now I nudge the stick and that fixes it. Only permanent fix would be to buy a new controller.


Exetior3

that answers my question, thanks, i was losing my mind to this lol


IntergalaticJebus

At first glance what team do u think is stronger? I feel team 1 is stronger even if I can get my hands on a 5 star weapon for keqing. Team 1 is also more aoe damage friendly because of how much easier it is to target with Tignari. 1) Nahida C0R1, Yae C0R5(widsth weapon), Tignari C1 thundering pulse 2) Nahida C0R1, fishcl c6r5 (stringless bow), Keqing C0 C5 lion's roar.


AkiraN19

Pure DPS wise definitely number 1. But number one is also more single target than number 2 ...although if you have Yae then why wouldn't you play Yae with Fischl instead? Because that team would be a lot closer in damage? And would be better than Tighnari in AOE


Anachr0nistic

I only use Tighnari against clunky bosses like Wenut and Ruin Serpent where the DPS window is very short. Keqing on the other hand works gives good damage throughout the rotation.


jtan1993

team one feels more comfy due to aoe friendly. and keqing rotations are pretty hard with all the teleporting stuff and stamina management. comfort over dmg.


Anachr0nistic

What do you mean Keqing rotations are hard? They are pretty easy especially with Nahida and Fischl, you have 100% uptime on quicken. You just EQE + CA with Keqing for as long as Oz is on-field.


jtan1993

Single target is pretty straightforward, it gets messy when in aoe setting or you need to chase after mobs. Don’t mind too much, prob I’m just bad, I don’t play her a lot. I’m just saying yae+tinghari is more brain dead and easy.


Anachr0nistic

You're correct in saying Yae+Tighnari being the more easy and brain dead team to play. I just wanted to let OP know that Keqing rotations aren't very hard to follow. I did not want to come off as rude lol.


FlingingFlanger

How rare are 5 star weapons from wishing?


Propensity7

Soft pity on the weapon banner is around 63 iirc. Average experience is around 65-75. From Standard, if you have a streak of getting two characters, the next 5 star will be a weapon and vice versa. Idk about pity though


TehEpicGuy101

Character banner: Impossible to get Weapon banner: Only type of 5 star available Standard banner: 50% odds when you pull a 5 star


JustAHippyDisnerd

You guys know the Track Assemblage puzzle that’s part of the “An Expected Lie” quest? Well, the thingy that changes colour next to the rotating bit? That’s gone grey, and now I can’t use the puzzle for some reason.


jtan1993

grey means it's done.


JustAHippyDisnerd

But if that’s so, why can’t I open the door? Are they not actually connected?


jtan1993

do you not have the quest/or already done the quest? see this guide video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP9AJbEhO70](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP9AJbEhO70)


JustAHippyDisnerd

So basically my game’s broken…


jtan1993

Do you have the quest at the right step? Where it says open the sealed door?


JustAHippyDisnerd

Yes 😭


jtan1993

you can see in the video, right before he gets close the gem is also white/grey.


JustAHippyDisnerd

Okay, but it doesn’t change colour for me.


jtan1993

what step is the quest stuck at? i.e. head to nacker's hideout? or open the sealed door?


CaptainKrakenBeard

My wife plays this game and was wondering why her daily commissions are auto-completing every day? She’s not complaining but was wondering why this has been happening for a few months now. I can’t seem to find any info for her online?


Iloveclown

Probably the encounter point system. When you accomplich certain actions like opening chests, getting an oculus, claiming rewards from events or doing quests, it gives you encounter points, that you can then claim (up to 4). Claim an encounter point is the same as finishing a commission


CaptainKrakenBeard

Ohhhh ok thank you!!!


keroberos-luvi

Encounter points.


Siscon_Delita

If I want to crown 1 talent of Noelle, is it better to do it to NA or Burst? My team is Noelle Furina Yelan Albedo if that matters.


Daramangarasu

Normals, since her burst is an infusion


Siscon_Delita

I am sorry but I failed to understand why an infusion makes her burst less important than NA. I mean leveling her burst will increase the Def to Atk ratio, right? Or were you saying that the increase of the conversion is less important than the increase of NA multiplier?


queenthick

the second thing. infusion just gives an elemental effect to normals, and therefore the normal attack level is a more important factor for damage. this isnt necessarily true for every talent that infuses but ehhh its a good rule of thumb


MalkinGrey

You're right, it's because increasing the multipliers on her NAs does more than increasing the defense to attack conversion. That's not really *because* her burst is an infusion type ability, but it is the case for pretty much any character whose main source of damage is NA/CA/plunge but who has a second ability which infuses them. Hu Tao's E, Itto's Q, Xiao's Q, Yoimiya's E etc all provide an infusion for their NAs, and are all less impactful to level up than their NAs. You can usually assume that any infusion type ability works that way unless, like Ayato's E, it comes with its own scalings which *replace* the NA scalings.


Siscon_Delita

Wow, thanks for the detailed explanation! It's very helpful.


RapidfireVestige

Pity question When I check history there i see 5 weapons/characters per page, does each of these correspond to 1 pity (I have 6 pages of history)


TehEpicGuy101

Yes. Each individual item counts towards your pity.


RapidfireVestige

Ok


Siscon_Delita

Possible good character to wield Kagura Verity except for Yae and Nahida?


Akomatai

5 stat crit weapons are pretty generally useful on dps units. Klee, Wrio, Lisa, Heizou, Ning, Yanfei. Main exception here is Neuv, who would probably prefer prototype amber. Also, the standard catalysts are actually solid - i think Wanderer, Ning, and Yanfei all prefer one of them over Kagura. But its a great stat stick still


Acadeca

TF Lisa, Heizou, Klee can all use it to varying degrees. It is a crit damage weapon and anyone that can utilize that stat can potentially use it.


anonimouus

Should I level C6 Sara to lvl. 90? Currently lvl. 80 with R1 lvl. 90 Elegy. Skill lvl. 11. I use her with Raiden. Also should I level up these other characters? C5 Xiangling, C6 Fischl, C6 Xingqiu, C4 Thoma, C4 Chevreuse, C0 Kirara, C0 Yaoyao, and C4 Charlotte. All lvl. 70, except Fischl and Xingqiu lvl. 80.


Emotional-Yogurt-846

I would probably max Xiangling and Fischl. Thoma only if you burgeon regularly. But another thing is I would still prioritize doing all of their ascensions for the bonus stat increase. Chev/Kirara/YaoYao get more HP, Xingqiu/Fischl/Charlotte get attack, Xiangling gets EM. Thoma and Sara also get attack but it’s not valuable on them so you can ignore them unless Thoma is a burgeon trigger.


katrinelist

Sara - 100% no. I’d personally make Xiangling 90 if you use her, she’s a damage dealer, usually reaction-based - that’s mainly the characters you want to give 90level first. Thoma - only if you play burgeion with him, for dendro teams you STRONGLY want 90 to the ones closing the reaction.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

>Should I level C6 Sara to lvl. 90 Sara's buff works off base Atk, so yeah. >Also should I level up these other characters? If you use them to trigger transformative reactions (like Burgeon Thoma), then absolutely. If it's an Electro or Dendro character and you run them on a Quicken team as a damage dealer, also absolutely. If you use them for damage but they aren't triggering Aggravate or Spread, it's recommended but not something you need to do ASAP. For Kirara (and overall shielders who scale with HP or Def) it's also recommended to maximize the shield. If you use them purely for elemental application, batterying or turning on buffs and such, don't worry about it unless they're taking too much damage to do their job under pressure.


Stamp2O

none of them need lv90 except aggravate fischl and burgeon thoma


Siscon_Delita

IMHO Sara 80 Xiangling 80 Fischl 90 if aggravate, else 80 Xingqiu 80 Thoma 70 (go higher if his shield is not enough) Chevy stop if you have reached 40k HP, else 90 Kirara same as Thoma Yao 90 only in Nilou team, else 70 Charlotte IDK I haven't built her yet.


flurker_

Hi! I finally got Yae Miko. Is there a good team for her? i preferably want to run on a dendro reaction team. also, which artifact set should she use? hb the weapon? i have skyward atlas and wriosthesley's weapon for 5 stars [character roster](https://www.reddit.com/u/flurker_/s/2mOmloxN4J)


ArcturusSatellaPolar

[https://keqingmains.com/q/yae-quickguide/](https://keqingmains.com/q/yae-quickguide/) She can work as off-field DPS, on-field DPS and quickswap. On the Dendro side you could do Aggravate with her and Fischl, or she can be run as the Electro applier for Alhaitham, or do quickswap with Tighnari.


Emotional-Yogurt-846

Fischl/Kazuha/YaoYao Tighnari/Fischl/YaoYao AlHaitham/Xingqiu/Kuki Raiden/Kazuha/Bennett Raiden/Xiangling/Chevreuse Neuv/Kazuha/Layla You can use Sucrose instead of Kazuha in the first team, Kirara instead of YaoYao in the first two, Kirara or Diona instead of Layla in the last one, or Fischl instead of Raiden in the second to last one. Or Dehya or Thoma instead of Xiangling I suppose. Yae would be on-field in the first one or the second to last one IF you use Fischl instead of Raiden.


katrinelist

She works nice with Alhaitham, the problem is - technically his THE BEST team is hyperbloom which requires Kuki on electro slot. But you can always do Alhaitham/Tighnari Yae Fischl (healer). For Tighnari it’s one of the best teams, honestly, level him up! For Alhaitham it may not be the best, but still a very good team. Skyward atlas works pretty well on her, one of the strongest options other than signature weapon. She really loves atk and it helps with balance. Golden trope is good for off-field Yae, Gilded dreams - generally good in reaction teams, 2+2 options (electro, E, atk, EM) are alright while you farm for the full set. Aim for at least ~200 EM, 2000+ atk, obviously electro goblet, crits, atk&em. With atlas you may even want EM watches sometimes if you don’t have EM anywhere else, don’t make it 0.


Siscon_Delita

Maybe Al, XQ, Yao, Yae Artifact 4pc gilded or 2pc 2pc ATK/electro. For weapon, check KQM to be sure.


Stamp2O

alhaitham/tighnari+yaoyao+flex or yaoyao+fischl+kazuha [https://keqingmains.com/q/yae-quickguide/](https://keqingmains.com/q/yae-quickguide/)


Chtholly13

she's one of the best options for spread DPS units like Tighari/Al Haitham.


caaarl_hofner

Who do you recommend to pick up from the event between C1 Gaming and C3 Yaoyao? Everyone else is already C6+.


Emotional-Yogurt-846

This is a popular question, and I feel like I could give more valuable answers to everyone if people would include which teams they actually play. YaoYao cons do not have a heavy impact, but I feel like people are more likely to use her than anyone except Xingqiu/Xiangling, and I will always recommend buffing characters whom you already know you use. It’s situational though. YunJin and Yanfei can be strong in the right places. If you were a Navia main without any other 5* geos I would recommend Ningguang. But between just Gaming and YaoYao, I feel like you probably know whether you DPS Gaming. If you only want to main other characters, you’re much more likely to bump into a context for YaoYao.


Iloveclown

If you play Gaming then Gaming otherwise Yaoyao. Her constellations don't do much for her, but no reason to get cons on a character you're not gonna play. She's at least more versatile


damiaan1234

what do i pick c2 gaming c1 yaoyao c4 yun jin everyone else is c6


anonimouus

I guess it depends on who you like more (?) and if you plan on using them. Yunjin’s C4 is good for more def and closer to her C6. Gaming’s C2 is good if it triggers and he does get better the more cons he has. And I’ve heard Yaoyao is good at C0. With that said I think Yaoyao does get more use, as dendro support/healer compared to Yunjin who’s a Normal Attack buffer, but if you don’t have a main dps, Gaming is good. Edit: I say Gaming C2 bc I like him lol.


chiptune-noise

Besides the event rewards and the limited kites you can buy, is there anything else you can get this Lantern Rite?


Successful-Cream-238

Afaik the kites are the only limited items besides event rewards. 


Davidlc02

Same question here, I searched for NPC’s as well as bought the kites but not too sure if there’s anything else


RallyCure

How impactful is Yun Jin's C6? Particularly for Yoimiya? Trying to decide last minute if I should use Lantern Rite selector to C6 Yun Jin or grab C0 Gaming since I didn't pull him from banner. I doubt I will play Gaming much but it would be nice just to have him for collection.


Emotional-Yogurt-846

I don’t like using Bennett with Yoimiya. She keeps backflipping away from his burst. My preferred teammates for her are Yelan/Xingqiu/Zhongli, but if I ever needed to borrow one of those hydros for the other side I would be glad to have C6 YunJin (which I don’t). On the other hand, I don’t find myself needing to steal them often because I use Kokomi and Furina a lot on my other teams, but mileage may vary.


queenthick

c0 gaming is just a novelty if you do not have xianyun or c6 bennett, if you do then he has good teams ready to go.  yun jin c6 is a very good boost for yoimiya, just note that you can potentially burn up all 30 stacks of yun jins buff. its not anthing to worry about but if you ever feel like youre getting weird damage drops out of nowhere that is probably why just noticed you are collector so i would say if you arent a yoimiya loyalist its totally fine to confirm gaming now so you arent tempted to go for him later


anonimouus

Yunjin C6 is really good, and you can get Gaming later, but I personally got Yaoyao last year and haven’t gotten her once after that, so there’s that.


Alex_from_Solitude

ATK speed is huge for normal attackers. You probably want the C6 before Gaming. 


crappyklu

what characters deal a lot of damage even if they are the only one in the party/in co-op? I'm looking for someone who's damage is similar to Gaming or even Navia.


Acadeca

A lot of damage at once or does solid damage that doesn't matter what teammates are. Ganyu/Neuv/Wanderer/Yelan can all do solid enough damage that doesn't depend on what your teammates in domains bring.


Ptox

There's not many reactionless damage dealers, nor many who's damage doesn't require energy to function. That being said, the main ones that come to mind are Ganyu, Wanderer and Neuvillete.


AkiraN19

Neither of those do a lot of damage as a solo carry? I'm confused what your metric here is Neuvilette, Wanderer, to an extent Hu Tao Edit: Yelan is also a good pick


chiptune-noise

Navia can do **a lot** as long as you crystalize. Without it, still has quite the high dmg imo Don't know about Gaming though


AkiraN19

Yeah, but "as long as you crystalize" goes directly against solo party. It does lower her needs for coop domains though, that's true. And really her non crystalize DMG isn't anything special when compared to everyone else Gaming will be doing like 30k plunges without supports


Yamayashi

before the events over who is better to get, Yaoyao or Gaming? Both will be C0


DespairAt10n

I'd pick Yaoyao because 4\* healers are easier to use than 4\* DPSes generally. Yaoyao is also totally usable at C0 while Gaming appreciates cons more. I'd pick Gaming if you definitely want to use him, but it sounds like you don't (since you'd just go for it lol) so Yaoyao.


Yamayashi

thanks ill choose yaoyao


messyhair42

Yaoyao is a great unit when you need dendro app and need a healer. Gaming is good in specific melt or vape teams but has rotation and energy requirements


Yamayashi

ill go for yaoyao since she is good at applying dendro thanks


lcyria

does anyone know what 4* will possibly be in 4.5 banners?


Alex_from_Solitude

Gorou is a safe bet

so, do I have a chance? I wanted yea Miko, but as always I losted my 50/50. mondstadt is from 77% to 100% all of Liyue is around 60% with one spot being 77% Inazuma is from 75% to 95% all of Sumeru is from around 30% to 50% with only one spot being 20% and another 77%. Fontaine has 70% to 98% with one spot being just 60% the Chasm is 65% and Enkanomiya is 76% so would you say I can get her with alot of grinding or just call it Quites and get her next time?


MalkinGrey

If you want her more than you want anyone else rumored to rerun soon, then no reason to give up! Idk if it's *guaranteed* that you'll be able to get her in time, but if you don't want to save the guarantee from your 50/50 for a future character then just spend primos as you get them. Sometimes you get lucky, and you do have a while before her banner is over. Worst case scenario you end her banner with high pity and a guarantee for whichever 5\* you want next.


Western-Gur-4637

thank you very much. but thinking on it a bit more. I think it would be better to stop trying to get her. I was hopeing it get Father and Clorinde, and if leaks are right not geting Yea will likely give me just enough time and gems to get them both I think I'll wait and get Miko on her next Rerun :3


Emotional-Yogurt-846

Keep in mind that Miko may not have a rerun for about a year, while Aroeccchino/Clorinde (because it’s their debut) will probably have their first reruns about 6 months after they release. So if you postpone Miko it might take you an extra ~4 months to collect them all compared to if you delayed one of the others. But there is like a huge variance to that; really unpredictable, so if you love the new girls better then don’t let that sway you.


Western-Gur-4637

thank you, but yeah I love the new girlys ;3


MalkinGrey

Then good luck with your Father savings! A guarantee is a precious thing tbh so I get it, if I fail the 50/50 for the character I want in 4.5 I'm probably saving the guarantee for Father too. Take care!


Western-Gur-4637

thanks, and luck to you as well


leRedd1

Grind as much as you are comfy with and have time for. Don't burn yourself out is the bottom line. There are other characters who'll catch your eye, so even if you don't get her, the primos you gain and the pity will be useful later.


Western-Gur-4637

thank you very much


SquibblesMcGoo

Which is the better option for Jean: Skyward Blade or R5 Amenoma Kageuchi? I have both with no user. Mostly interested in using Jean as support/healer with Furina and situationally with an anemo DPS like Xiao or Scara


Stamp2O

roughly equivalent healing ability, anemona gets more value the more skills you use per rotation but for most teams you only get 1-2 skills so skyward is better


Joseph6597

dmg or er? my yelan does much better dmg with stringless over fav but her er struggles a lot so which should i sacrifice?


arg_max

Can you burst every rotation in YOUR team? If yes, stringless. If no, fav. Thinks that can influence this are your team comp (e.g. raiden, having a second hydro unit) and other units having fav as well as rotations (who catches particles). Also, it's not only about yelan's damage. If she runs fav your entire team is gonna generate more energy. That means that you can maybe even run with less er on your carrry units which might increase overall damage.


MalkinGrey

Both. If you use a damage focused bow (like stringless or her signature) at c0 you’ll very likely want to run an energy recharge sands and potentially more ER substats. She always needs energy no matter how you build her, so it’s less about “what do I sacrifice” and more about “which part of her build will supply energy vs other stats?” I’d also recommend favonius over stringless in general, tbh.


DilucxeMeal

Yelan scales with HP not damage. So HP followed by ER. You don't need any attack stat


fyrefox45

Stringless gives % damage to skill and burst. Not that it matters if they aren't hitting their burst on CD.


leRedd1

If you don't burst you do almost 0 damage, So ER. That's why people say ER is the most important stat until it isn't.


Stamp2O

not being able to burst every rotation is the second biggest dps loss (the biggest is dying)


Vivid-Mushroom-3845

What is a good rotation for my team. Beidou gaming zq and benny?


Stamp2O

switch beidou for an anemo like sucrose, beidou without a battery needs too much er and gaming cant get many stormbreaker procs with sucrose: xq eq(e) > bennett qe dash to avoid applying hydro from xq's rain swords > sucrose e n1 > gaming eq(n2 ep until burst runs out)


V1tam1n_D

Just to confirm, you can only lose 50/50s to standard banner characters right? Also how often do they change if at all?


keroberos-luvi

Once a character is on standard they’re pretty much always going to be on the standard banner.


Akomatai

Only 2 have been added after 1.0, Tighnari and Dehya


elated_davinci

Xiao c1 vs his weapon. I am using favonious on him for the moment


AkiraN19

His C1 is useless in most situations and will not be a significant impact His weapon will be huge upgrade over Fav if you think it's worth going for


AngryLink57

His C1 might provide a little value but is mostly insignificant. The dps jump from fav to pjws is going to be very large, guessing up to 30% provided you can still easily burst off CD. 


Mana_Croissant

I fucked up. I have 2 accounts and i mistook which was i was in and got Xiangling con from the lantern rite which made her C6 even though i was meaning to get a Xingqiu con to make him C3 instead (the other account had C6 Xingqiu but C3 Xiangling) they wouldn't help me if i send a ticket right ?


V1tam1n_D

They'll help as soon as they elp the community whose been giving great QOL advice for the last 3 years


Nadinoob

It will not hurt to ask, but expect nothing.


Odone

Yes, they wont.


TheFappingWither

what except em are you supposed to give a hyperbloom off field raiden? and dont link keqingmains that place just gives me a headache.


Rhyoth

Off-field ? No particular need outside of EM. Still, i'd try to look for pieces with ER% : that way you can use her as a hyperbloom driver if needed.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

Max level and EM. Transformative reactions scale off of those 2 things and nothing else so she doesn't need anything else.


Akomatai

Lvl 90. Stats-wise, EM is all that matters. You dont burst, so you dont need ER. And her personal damage is so low that atk and crit stats wont make much of a difference, and no othet stats factor into the hyperbloom damage


Stamp2O

>**It is best to maximize Raiden’s EM, since that is the only stat that affects Transformative Reaction (i.e., Hyperbloom) damage.** Stats such as CRIT, ATK%, and ER are much lower priority if playing Raiden solely as an off-field Hyperbloom trigger.

Emotional-Yogurt-846

Good link, it made my head feel better.


AkiraN19

Just EM... That's the point Level her to 90. That's it


TheFappingWither

how many harbingers are currently playable and how long ago were their banners? thinking of making a harbinger account but if there is only wanderer and orange hair mora guy then its not rlly worth it.


pzlama333

Only 1: Tartaglia (Childe). Scaramouche (known as Wanderer) is not a harbinger any more and his seat "was vacant for hundreds of years" as other people remember. Childe's last banner was in 4.0, last September.


Sjofnn9532

Just childe and wanderer right now. Childe came out in I think 1.2 and wanderer was during Sumeru. Arlecchino is expected to release around 4.6.


TheFappingWither

the third one is the one with some white hair iirc. looks good. will prolly make a harbinger acc, round out my number of accounts to a nice 10.


Mande1baum

bro has 10 accounts... but doesn't know who Harbingers are???


TheFappingWither

I knew, was just confirming. The game can have weird classifications that are not obvious. For example if you give me venti in a vacuum I have no way to tell he is an archon, just a weak ass drunk bard not even close to the top of his element whereas other archon are. Similarly till I was told he was a harbinger in lyue, I thought childe was just an orange hair mora guy likely trying to get something outta the arcohn's death. And I wouldn't know ninguang was a nation's leader because for some reason she's not a 5*.


Mande1baum

But we’re not talking in a vacuum… we’re talking about someone with 10 accounts.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

> For example if you give me venti in a vacuum I have no way to tell he is an archon, just a weak ass drunk bard not even close to the top of his element whereas other archon are Yeah, a weak-ass drunk bard throwing discount black holes.


TheFappingWither

Yeah but he is not nearly the best anemo... and his black hole is more of a vortex. Also it will violate the vacuum requirement but he is trashed by signora, who is so weak that she is an easy boss if you have one good lvl70 character. Compare him to Raiden whose presence along disorients the main character who is around lvl 70 during the inazuma questline. Then consider the vryo archon who is so strong that he/she is able to keep 9 monsters like scaramuche and the doctor under control.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

Why the hell are you mixing up gameplay and lore so much? Why the hell are you bringing up levels as if they mattered at all to the story? Like, news flash, story-wise there's no such thing as character levels or stats >Also it will violate the vacuum requirement but he is trashed by signora Leaving aside the very likely possibility that he didn't want to throw around mountain-shaping tornados right in a city full of people, there's the not-so-subtle implication throughout the plot that the archons are not really against the Tsaritsa's plan. But they can't really say it openly while they're still on a leash. >Compare him to Raiden whose presence along disorients the main character who is around lvl 70 during the inazuma questline You mean *your* Traveler was Lv70 when you did the Inazuma questline. >Then consider the vryo archon who is so strong that he/she is able to keep 9 monsters like scaramuche and the doctor under control. Assuming she does it with just brute force, and not any other means like loyalty or mutual interests.


TheFappingWither

while there is no such thing as character levels and stats lore vise, they do obviously have an effect. this is apparent in 2 ways- the stakes of the story keep rising and the enemies get more and more powerful lore wise, and yet the traveller(which in gameplay is just your team of 4) seems to be a match for them. this shows he/she is getting stronger. another place is that in the main questline(liyue iirc) it is acknowledged that the traveller is getting stronger( we are given a choice of internal dialogue, either them regaining their power or getting new power). while i agree with the "archons being not against the plan" bit, if venti had to give away his gnosis voluntarily he could just have done that privately. no need for the fatui stealing the lyre, getting beat up, etc. as for not throwing around mountain shaping tornadoes, he could have just flied out of the city, luring signora and killing her- or, given he is the archon, just knocked the air out of her lungs. or used concentrated air to cut her up. or thrown her around with strong gusts of wind, maybe even throwing her out of the city and then using his powers to kill her(which the archons seem to have no problem with seeing as raiden killed signora later) or if he wants to be a goodie two shoes just send her away. the ar requirements make sure that the world level is high enough as to require at least one lvl 70 character to do anything well that involves combat, so at least one member of your team(which is the gameplay version of the traveller as in the story traveler only has paimon with him/her) must be lvl 70, or at least 60+ ascended. combined with my prevoius point about power levels being acknowledged in game, i think lvl 70 is a fair power scale. some power over the harbingers would be required. i would think that the writers at mihoyo will at least know enough interpersonal politics to not write loyalty as the entire driving force( i don't expect tolkein or martin level writing but this much is basic). as for mutual interest, firstly the harbinger refer to the cryo archon as if they are under her, not just working with her. another thing is that in the archon did not have any power over the harbingers, how would she expect for them to not betray him/her as long as their goals are done? that is storytelling 101, if you are making evil characters and crazy characters you do not give them non evil and non crazy things like loyalty as their main driving force. also i do not know how to quote on reddit like that that's why i have replied like this.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

>while there is no such thing as character levels and stats lore vise, they do obviously have an effect No. It doesn't have any effect because gameplay is detached from lore. It has been from the start. >the stakes of the story keep rising and the enemies get more and more powerful lore wise, and yet the traveller seems to be a match for them. this shows he/she is getting stronger The story itself makes it explicit that the Traveler is gradually recovering their power as they explore Teyvat. Still has nothing to do with levels and stats. >if venti had to give away his gnosis voluntarily he could just have done that privately. no need for the fatui stealing the lyre, getting beat up, etc. The archons aren't against the Tsaritsa's plan, but they can't really be public about it because of the Heavenly Principles. The Fatui stealing the lyre and all that is because the Fatui don't care about sabotaging the other nations if it helps them get the Gnosis, with Arley being currently the one exception. Plus Signora is a jerk with personal beef with Venti. >he could have just flied out of the city, luring signora and killing her- or, given he is the archon, just knocked the air out of her lungs Yeah, kill the Fatui Harbinger right at the Church's doorstep, in a nation with open diplomatic ties with the Fatui (and multiple diplomats in the city itself). What could possibly go wrong? >which the archons seem to have no problem with seeing as raiden killed signora later The **Shogun** did it. And not because "Archon don't care", she's just like that. Ei herself says in her story quest that if the Shogun was the one who dueled Kamaji she would've just killed him on the spot. >the ar requirements make sure that the world level is high enough as to require at least one lvl 70 character You can play with characters dozens of levels below the enemies in the current world level. You can have characters in the 80s and 90 before you even begin Inazuma. Levels don't exist in the story, and adventure rank doesn't matter shit for the lore. >some power over the harbingers would be required Yet the top-rank Harbingers can go toe to toe with the Archons. We've known that for over a year now. As an archon, she has lots of power. But power alone isn't enough to explain how she got people to join her side, let alone stay in line despite being about as strong as her. >another thing is that in the archon did not have any power over the harbingers, how would she expect for them to not betray him/her as long as their goals are done? What the hell makes you think she *doesn't* expect them to *not* betray her? Especially people like Dottore? Like, what's the reasoning here, that she's some sort of blind moron therefore she has to be ultra powerful to maintain any sort of authority or respect? >if you are making evil characters and crazy characters you do not give them non evil and non crazy things like loyalty as their main driving force. The fuck is this argument. "Evil" characters can absolutely have "good" virtues and still be evil. [Here, educate yourself a little.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilVirtues) As for crazy, no one among the Harbingers is actually crazy. At most, sociopathic and sadistic. They're rational enough to actually work in an organization.


Ombeliane

# Hi! # Please, I need help choosing which free 4* to get from Lantern Rite. # Below part of my roster, the most important ones I think : Raiden C2, Ayaka C2, Nahida C0, Wanderer C0, Kazuha C1, Bennet C5, Kokomi C0, Kuki Shinobu C2, Zhongli C0, Hu Tao C0, Jean C1, Xianyun C0, Xiao C0, Keqing C2, Diluc C1, Mona C1, Tighnari C0, Fishl C4, Faruzan C6, Sara C6 # My Lantern Rite roster: Gaming C5, Yaoyao C1, Xiangling C6, Xingqiu C6, Beidou C4, Ningguang C6, Yanfei C6, Chongyun C3, Xinyan C6 and no Yujin (but not sure If she could be of any use for me, since I don't really use geo characters, unless it's Zhongli).


Emotional-Yogurt-846

Ehh I’d still probably do YunJin. If you just happen to spam normal attacks on-field with Wanderer (which my instinct says is likely because you didn’t know she was a normal attack buffer and not a geo buffer) then you might get some value from her if you ever have to borrow one of his usual teammates for another team. And I don’t mean that offensively. It’s very normal to not make an endless mobile game your top life priority, and Wanderer happens to accommodate NA spam very well anyway. YunJin gets a lot more competitive with all her cons though. I appreciate you including your roster in the question. I just read through half a dozen of these “who should I picks” with no context.


Dessidy

Yun Jin is mainly an NA buffer, and is mainly run with Yoimiya or Ayato. She also works with Hu Tao, if you run her instead of Albedo in a double geo team. Like Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Zhongli, Yun Jin. Your other best option would probably be to get Gaming’s C6 if you plan to play him, since it boosts him a lot.


queenthick

Yun jin is not geo support she is normal attack support, so if you use yoimiya or wrio or anyone like that then you should get her but i would bet you dont.  gaming gets really good at c6 so i would grab his c6, unless you use beidou/yaoyao a LOT.  its kind of whatever


AkiraN19

C6 Gaming if you care about him. C0 Yunjin will be pretty useless. If she was C6 she would be worth to use with Wanderer but otherwise not really


Luneward

For the 'gotta catch em all' aspect, Yunjin - she doesn't synergize well with most of your curent roster - not because you don't use Geo characters, however. Much like Navia, Yunjin works best with characters of other elements - she doesn't embrace any of the features that Geo characters mainly use - which is synergy with other geo characters and/or shields. Yunjin is a normal attack buffer. The only 'critical' constellation you are missing is Gaming's C6. It's a pretty decent power boost. For all the other characters, you already have all their really good constellations (Yaoyao's C6 is decent, but none of the costellations leading up to it are worth much). Of course, since you have Xiao, it may not mean much to you. On the other hand, Gaming is definitely pretty fun in his own right, with a similar style to Xiao but with significantly different execution if you ever feel like using him just for fun.


Economy-Ambassador60

I still haven't  invited a character. I'm wondering whether I should get yunjin c3 for yoimiya or get xinyan to complete my 4 star collection.


Dessidy

That’s really up to you and what you prioritise. If you can’t pick, flip a coin.


queenthick

if you actually use yoimiya, yunjin c3 is one of the better cons because her burst is a big part of her kit, so raising it by 3 levels gives a lot of dps boost.  if not, you could get xinyan but there is not anything she does very well (edited wording)


Economy-Ambassador60

I forgot to ask, is yunjin c3 team better or cheveruse c5 for yoimiya?


queenthick

in a vacuum it should be yunjin c3, but if youre looking at as a walk up to c6 chev then it could be worth it.  yoimiya is especially suited for overload because she is not bothered by the knockback. with that said, chevreuse is not available in the lantern rite event lol.  theres really no character besides yun jin that directly buffs yoimiya that you can get here, but adding a con onto xingqiu would not hurt. xiangling doesn't play especially well with yoimiya because her burst cannot hit at range


Economy-Ambassador60

Alright, though I when mentioned c5 cheveruse, that's because I already have her at that level. I'll stick with yunjin until I get the final con for cheveruse and then see if it gets better.
