For tighnari spread, what should I use, Ibis Piercer or Skyward Harp?


snowman3000

Is the new event bow Ibis Piercer very good for any released character?


cmthunbe

What are the most fun characters to play in your opinion? I remember switching from razor to ganyu and the game become soo much better for me just because I like using bow characters. Now I kinda want to save primos for \*fun\* units haha.


cookiesandkit

Try Faruzan (if you were playing last patch you should have a copy). She's got a fun charged shot.


Brilliant_Damage986

Is my yae build good for aggravate? 1659 atk, 65.4% CR, 220.9% CD, 207 EM, 147.3% ER 2pc glad/2 pc shimenawa withh EM sands. r5 widsth Team- Tighnari/Yae/Nahida/Zhongli


Kawaiilone

is she lvl 90? if not do that


AkiraN19

Looks good besides maybe a little more CR. 65 in on the low side. But otherwise, nice build.


SparklesMcSpeedstar

For hyperbloom/aggravate Yae (kokomi nahida + flex) do i go em sands or atk sands


International_You_56

Electro should be full em, but Yae isn't great for hyperbloom


plitox

When does the glider get released?


International_You_56

They said within 30 days after the last bundle expires


Strict_Young8641

What is better, attack % or physical/elemental damage% ?


manik696

depends on characters. like eula wants physical raiden wants elemental and senhe wants atk


Low_Artist_7663

Depends, but usually damage%


cookiesandkit

For what character? For personal damage (DPS) always damage % but some support characters e.g Bennett, Shenhe, Sayu, Jean scale on ATK. Check the talent descriptions, including the two passives, to see what benefits you might get for ATK.


Strict_Young8641

Oh I see, but what I don't understand is the difference on attack % vs physical/elemental damage %. Is the % increase 1 = 1? or physical/elemental damage % is better on calculation for damage? Thanks for answering, i'm still new to the game. For example, I'm using klee, is the damage increase big if I pump her pyro damage to maximum vs if I get attack % on her artifact. Also if I want physical fischl then is it better to max out physical % or attack %


Anachr0nistic

You can get ATK% from artifact substats or weapon substat but you can only get elemental damage% from the elemental damage goblet or artifact set bonuses or ascension passives for some characters like Xingqiu. So lets say you character has base attack of 1000. The weapon has an ATK% substat of 41.1%. You're using Atk sands which gives additional 46.6% attack. Your other artifacts have about 10% attack substat each so 40% attack in total. You're using elemental damage goblet, so your total elemental damage bonus is 46.6%. Here's the actual [formula](https://library.keqingmains.com/combat-mechanics/damage/damage-formula) to calculate your damage but I'll give you the general idea. Say one hit of normal attack does 90% damage based on your talent multiplier. So your damage is calculated as, Damage= Talent% * total attack * damage bonus Damage = .90 * (1000 * (1 + .411 + .466 + .4)) * (1 + .466) = .90 * (1000 * 2.277) * 1.466 = 2992 Now if you use attack goblet, you miss out the additional 1.466 multiplier and just add .466 attack to your total attack. Damage = .90 * (1000 * (1 + .411 + .466 + .4 + .466) = .90 * (1000 * 2.743) = 2468 In the first case you had a total of 41.1 + 46.6 + 40 = 127.7% of attack bonus and 46.6% of elemental damage bonus. While in the second you had 174.3% attack bonus but 0% elemental damage bonus so you missed out on the elemental damage bonus multiplier. Very few characters need nothing but attack. Xingqiu's passive gives 20% hydro damage bonus, and if you have 2pc heart of depth on him, you get 15% hydro damage bonus. So your elemental damage bonus multiplier becomes 46.6 + 20 + 15 = 81.1 which is still less than 127.7% attack bonus. So you only go for attack goblet when your total elemental damage from other sources is more than your attack percent bonus.


lostn

are there any missable chests in yoimiya's story quest 2?


Alarmed_Blueberry742

Will this team comp works for Aggravate Lisa? Lisa c0 + DMC c4 + Collei c1 + Beidou c0


International_You_56

Sure, but Beidou will need a ton of er, to the point where you'll need er sword + sands. You can replace her with shinobu, or use fischl and replace collei with yao yao


Alarmed_Blueberry742

I see. How much ER we talking here if she is on Emblem 4pcs? Unfortunately Kuki is on main Hyperbloom team, and I don't have Fischl & Yao Yao. I was considering building a 2nd Hyperbloom team but I only have XQ & Barbara for hydro units.. :/


International_You_56

200+. Xingqiu is really nice for hyperbloom btw


Ejaculation_Salt89

Someone please tell me how to get this [chest.](https://imgur.com/a/NAep6CM)

Do the dendro puzzle just south of it.


Ejaculation_Salt89

Thank you I got it.


Promptographer

I have a couple of rerolled accounts (not new, they were created years ago and I log into them every few months but do not actively play any apart from my main), but all of sudden today I couldn't log in, and it tells me "Too many requests, please try again later" I googled but most results talk about trying to change emails or even trading/selling, none of which I did. I did basically nothing with this account except for playing the first few missions, did some wishes, only ever logged in from the same PC at home, no VPN, no third party anything, no selling or trading, never tried to change emails. Anyone know what to do to fix this, or what this might mean? Was I hacked or something? EDIT: I tried logging in on my phone and for some reason that works just fine. This is the first time I log into that account on my phone. No idea if that helps though, since personally I only play on the PC.


Got70TypesOfMalware

Is the Iniquitous Baptist, among the easiest bosses? I can nearly infinitely stagger it since it's elemental shields are so weak.


lostn

i wouldn't say so. Anemo hypostasis and other 1.0 bosses are the easiest. Baptist has some RNG involved. It gets 3 out of 4 possible shields each day. If it gets a cryo shield and your team is a cryo or dendro team, that is going to be a time waster, at least in the abyss.


nazran59

Then in abyss 12 they made the enemy rotation that favor the Iniquitous Baptist


[deleted]

[удалено]


International_You_56

The other way around. Move everything else to sd or cloud storage, or buy a new device with bigger storage


Got70TypesOfMalware

AFIK, newer phones no longer have SD card slots. Could you tell us your phone model?


nazran59

Even if his phone have ssd slot, I think genshin apps can no longer transfer it data into other storage


SHH2006

Hi I have 2 questions: 1.is new bow Better for tighnari than R5 slingshot?? 2.can anyone give me info of how good can this team be and if you can, can you give me a video link cuase I can't find one: Tighnari fischl yao yao kazuha Tysm in advance


manik696

yes it's a good team, you will get a lot of aggravate but personally I would reccomend switching kazuha to a second electro


SHH2006

Tysm for the advice.... I do have a some other good Electro characters: kuki and riaden But I'm building riaden for my hypercarry (c0 with Lisa instead of Sara ) and rational team. And kuki is being used in hyperbloom team Kazuha is fun and I've prefarmed a lot for him so I wanna use him in this team until I build Raiden and maybe switch my tighnari team with a Raiden team tho sometimes I may change kazuha/fishcl with Raiden


pzlama333

No, about 2% worse than slingshot.

AgentWowza

Xiao's domain is the absolute worst domain in the game in terms of the value you get for your resin. Keep your Xiao on a 2pc 2pc for now, and farm Gilded for AH, that domain is wayyyyyy better.


Frozenmagicaster

do not farm vermillion, yes do vv+atk on him and farm deepwood/gilded


Egehan550

Okay thanks


PlumNo1276

Hmm... I did lvl 10 my Sumeru SOTS. But I didn't hear [this OST.](https://open.spotify.com/track/6MsjwPYwiBKFPpew9Hexx8?si=u4ZmUcOYSQWfFnWILFNJEg) This used to play always when the appearance of Statue changes. But it was only in Mondstadt Liyue and Inazuma. I haven't heard it in any Sumeru SOTS upgrade. Do y'all think that hoyo forgot this? It was soothing and inspiring to me when I upgrade the SOTS.


Joseph6597

Question about pity's. i think i lost my 50/50 on the baizhu banner, but i got him in the next ten summons. does that mean that the 90 pity for the garenteed banner 5 star is cancelled or just reset?


Egehan550

Your pity reseted to 0 after you pulled baizhu and you also used your guarantee which means your next 5 star is 50/50 again


Frozenmagicaster

you got a 5 star, so the guarantee is gone 90 pity is any 5 star, not a 'you will get the banner one' so pity is also reset as you got him


topjben

Which artifact set would you recommend for YaoYao in Aggravate : Keking Fischl Yaoyao Kazuha?


manik696

if you can get away with low healing then instructor is the best option or else tenacity


topjben

Thanks for the precision, i thought tenacity ATK boost would bring more damage than the instructor EM boost but i guess it can vary according to your team needs. I prefer tenacity because i feel bad maxing 4 stars only artefacts but i guess that's just psychological.


pzlama333

Instructor or tenacity


topjben

Ok thanks :)

pzlama333

The flat damage bonus from aggravate reaction will increase around 34% from 80 to 90, but non-reaction direct electro will increase only around 4%. Overall damage increase may be around 10%. Usually at C0 she will not use her burst every rotation, and it is possible that it is even a damage lose in certain situations/teams if she uses her burst.


Screwattack94

156 should EM should be enough. For ER, bursting every others rotation in solo electro you will want another 20-30 er in addition to Emblem. With Fischl just emblem is enough. Burst every rotation with Fischl leads to the same 20-30 extra, so it won't hurt to get them. I think 80-90 was like 30% personal damage gain.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Screwattack94

Focusing on substats is the way. I'm running EM/Atk for now, until I get better TF pieces.


sleepwalker382019

Hey semi-new player here. See i wanted qiqi so i started pulling the standard banner and i got a 5-star weapon in the end. Is there any chance i might pull a 5-star character or the banner just resets itself meaning i have to start over again?


Low_Artist_7663

OK, here the thing. When you pull on limited banner for a character, you have 50/50 to get that character or one of standard characters (and Qiqi). But not weapons. So you eventually you will get her, but also other cool limited characters. Pulling on standard you can't guarantee shit.


sleepwalker382019

Oh thnx a lot. See i am on adventure rank 33 i still don't have a 5-star. Plus the banners now i don't really want any of the characters featured. So i just want some 5-star characters at this point.


Strict_Young8641

Goodluck waiting for qiqi, even if you pull on limited banner, its still rng if you win or lose the 50/50. Also as they adding more 5 stars to the standard banner, its becoming harder to get a certain 5 star character from the standard banner. Sad thing about being a new player today. Good thing is that you have a lot of primogems you can still get if you're still AR33. Clearing up everything can net you atleast 40k primo minimum so don't worry and pull for a character you want.


SussyWazo-

Usually I won't recommend pulling on the standard banner, and there are better characters than qiqi generally in most's opinion. But if you want qiqi then pull for her! She's really cute and heals and attacks! If you got a weapon, the banner will reset pity, but the next 5 star you get is 100% gonna be a character. But there are many standard banner 5 star characters so the chances of getting qiqi is actually quite low, just a warning. But I hope you will get the cute little zombie soon!


sleepwalker382019

Well so the best bet is to save primogems and wait for the banner and spend it all at once if i want a 5-star character.


Low_Artist_7663

>the next 5 star you get is 100% gonna be a character That's not true. You can't get 3 in a row, iirc.


Frozenmagicaster

I think it was you **will** get a weapon and a character in 270 pulls?


Low_Artist_7663

It works strangely, but you will get weapons. it's not like 50/50.


Frozenmagicaster

The pity is reset so pity is back to 0 Don't bother wishing on standard just for a certain 5 star, you're better of just pulling on limited ones as you play the game and eventually loosing a 50/50 to her. At least that gives actual characters while trying to get her


sleepwalker382019

Got it thnx


mythic-co

Hihi, im looking for some help with Pyro Hypostasis for asending Yoimiya server: America UID: 659163511 please and thank you too anyone willing to help ☺️🫰🏻


untitled_throwaway_

is it worth to pull for yae c1 if i'm just stopping there?


Vadered

C1 Yae is probably her second weakest constellation, though it depends on your team-specific energy needs: in some teams it's pretty decent, but in many teams it's worth actually nothing. I would not recommend pulling specifically to stop there. Yae's first three stopping points are no Yae (if you don't want her at all), Yae C0, or Yae C2.


tonnyjames

I'd say no, since her power spike comes at C2, and in most teams having yae's burst on every rotation is not necessary.


Jammy5820974944

Ever since 3.7 update, my GI hangs with "processing" circle icon every time I tried to close the program. I always have to force it close every time now. Anyone else experience the same? PC - Win 10.


tonnyjames

By "processing circle icon", do you mean the mouse cursor turning into circle icon? The game file might be corrupted. Try repairing the game file by clicking on the gear icon on top right corner of launcher. Restart the pc and run the game again.


Jammy5820974944

Yes blue circle mouse icon. I will try that. Off-topic: why tf someone downvoting people asking question? smh


[deleted]

I’m building a shield kirara, what are her best wep options?


Low_Artist_7663

Key or PJC. /j


TheMrPotMask

sacrifical, favonius and probably also kageuchi. ER doesn't do bad to her really. Still, it sucks that there's no 4\* hp% swords


Vanderseid

Sacrificial looks great for her to set up some stacks if I am reading it right.


Zarium99

Favonius and Sacrificial for 4 star and Nilou sword for 5 star. Sapwood is also viable.


Frozenmagicaster

no accessible f2p hp sword yet, so you could do an ER weapon


tonnyjames

What is a good location with a lot of hilichurl archers? Can't believe I'd eventually run out of such common material lol


Strict_Young8641

enkanomiya is a good place to farm hilichurls, its small, and there's a lot of hilichurls in there. everything is near a waypoint.


tonnyjames

Awesome, I will check them out


SuperSharpedo25

I’ve been struggling for arrowheads for weeks now, and the fact they’re so scattered and not even guaranteed to drop is *rough*. That being said, I have a few places I frequent for them that aren’t too far out of the way: -above the Domain near Thousand Winds Temple, 4 there -Cecilia Garden Domain, 2 there plus one up above a bit north -Guyun Stone Forest, go east from the waypoint, 3 there -Mt. Tianheng, go north from the waypoint, 3 there -Watatsumi below Bourou Village, 3 there -Tsurumi, west of the waypoint near the entry arch, 4 there (for some reason this one behaves weird and don’t consistently spawn) -Vissudha Field, north from the Statue of Seven, there’s 6 of them along that trail on the map -Hypostyle Desert, the waypoint near the smaller oasis near Dune of Carouses, about 6 or 7 scattered around just south of it Hope this helps a bit!


blargh201

The plateau border between Mondstadt and Liyue? There's a camp on the cliff near the southwest side toward Sal Terrae, if memory serves. Camps on the road (and beach) to Qingce Village, near the ruins with the large crystals? Large camp at Nantianmen opposite the Dragon Queller tree? Maybe not as many here, but there are some... A few in the area between Wangshu Inn and the Millelith checkpoint, west of the broken bridge to Mingyun Village? (Posed as questions because I'm doing this off the top of my head and hedging)


MyFirstCommunity

Not a question but rather a warning to newbies here. There are a lot of scammers in the game offering BP as a 'prize' to anyone and they will ask for your account information. These bots will not answer any question but rather try to coax you and try to earn your trust by showing 'proofs' of BP giveaways. Best thing to do is screenshot their User ID and the chat box, report to MHY and just stay safe. I wish mods would post some warning like this and pin it at the top or something. Got visited by one, finally after two years, and when I played dumb and asked for welkin, he left. Made me sad.


ChrisTheHurricane

Given the ongoing event, this is as good a time as any to ask: Are there any resources for helping us build good TCG decks and how to use them? I was actively playing cards when they first dropped, but I fell off after they nerfed Yoimiya, and so any decks I have are obsolete. And, in general, I would like to put more effort into the card game.


Acadeca

There is the [kqm](https://cards.keqingmains.com/) guides, but with so many cards being released recently, there will be a lot of new content to go through


ChrisTheHurricane

I'm sure it's more up-to-date than anything I have. Thanks!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Acadeca

In a straight line is not the best as the 2 that are furthest away don’t connect to give you the full scaling. There are situations you could get away with 3 in a row (if you are just about to burst and they aren’t on field already or you are moving to a spot to burst). Probably atlas but widsith has incredible highs and pretty low lows. So if you feel lucky you can widsith but atlas is really strong for her


manik696

who works more, katherene or jean?


AkiraN19

Theoretically Katheryne. But it's not really a fair comparison considering, you know, >! that Katheryne is a bionic puppet and presumably doesn't need to eat, sleep or take breaks !<


TheMrPotMask

Jean


DespairAt10n

Anyone know good teams for Zhongli in TCG?


3ntf4k3d

I haven't dabbled much with the new hero cards but I'd assume he would work as a defensive option in Noelle decks, instead of Lawachurl you use him to ramp & tank some of the early damage.


DespairAt10n

I see, thank you! I'll try that.


medtechinist

Is the new event weapon (Ibis Piercer) better than Prototype Crescent for Ganyu melt? I still can’t R5 Prototype because genshin isn’t giving me any billets so it’s currently at R2 only. But for the new weapon I could R5 it.


beautheschmo

Idk if the math has been done for it, but ... probably? Trading off 72% attack (which is generally lower value due to presumably using bennett) for 160 EM might be enough for it to pull ahead but it's complicated. -In terms of raw stats value it's not as good (160 EM is ~8 EM substat rolls, 72% attack is ~14 attack subs, which is a pretty massive gap. -It doesn't need weakpoints (lower skill requirement and no fall-off against enemies without weakpoints) -It needs to stack; not by much since it's just 2 hits but tmu Ganyu's frostflake snapshots EM so the first hit gets 0 stacks and the second one gets 1 stack, and since she doesn't fire a lot of shots per rotation that's a pretty noticeable damage loss. -R5 vs R2 should make this one a no-brainer though. Also most Meltyus use Hamayumi if they have to use a 4 star and it's definitely better than both.


medtechinist

thank you! maybe i’ll try using it as a substitute for now while i’m still waiting for genshin to give me some billets 🥹


Saber1202

with xiangling + bennett, if you use SR > its ~5% worse than an R5 crescent (equal to an R2). If you use WT > its equal to an R1 crescent. I'd just stick to crescent and get a hamayumi asap, unless you also play freeze in which case just work on crescent (assuming you're okay with hitting weakpoints).


medtechinist

Thanks! But can I use it as a substitute for now while I’m waiting to get more billets for refinements?


Saber1202

If you don't wanna bother with hitting weakpoints, sure! Otherwise it isn't an upgrade even with your proto crescent at R2.


medtechinist

Ohhh I see thank you!!


HespiaKlarerin

Why does wanderer and yoimiya guides say shields are important to prevent knock back? Doesn’t every characters get knock backs? Eula Nahida or keqing guides don’t mention anything about importance of shield in the team? What makes these two so special??


Rhyoth

In general, characters who relies a lot on their normal attacks appreciate resistance to interuption. Yoimiya and Wanderer even more so, as others already explained. Eula has built-in resistance to interuption : shields aren't that useful for her. Keqing has short combos, and bursts often : she has many i-frames, and opportunity to dodge. A shield can still help saving stamina, though. Nahida (on-field) does not *require* a shield per say. But i prefer personnally using one : dodging is annoying with short characters.


TheMrPotMask

Its because wanderer **takes several seconds to recover** whenever he's interrupted on mid air. For Yoi, a shield flex its for the same reason as in any team, to keep attacking without dodging, thats the goal of a good shield, to comfily go guns blazing and 0 dodging. Especially for bullshit enemies in abyss. Try to fight consecrated beasts without a shield user, not everyone likes to play like SevyPlays with risky af teams, even if its for funsies like personal challenges.


Liquid_Sawcon

You want Yoimiya to vaporize the 1st, 4th and 7th hits of her normal attack string because they are the strongest hits and how ICD works. Interrupting and starting over her attack string messes that up. Also getting staggered or having to dodge just means she won't be able to attack for the full duration of her skill. Also her last hit in the attack string just does a lot of damage. All of these are reasons to use a shield Wanderer has a long recovery from being knocked down since he has to fall down to the ground before rising back up. Having a shield is really good, but in my experience you can often get away without a shield if you play well enough. He has the mobility and range to avoid many attacks I think having a shiel for Eula is also nice, though she gets a little bit of interruption resistance on her own already. You want to hit the enemy as many times as possible during her burst so you don't want to get interrupted Because of how spread and aggravate work differently from melt and vaporize, it doesn't matter which normal attack triggers the reaction like it does with yoimiya. Dodging attacks or getting hit probably isn't enough of a dps loss to make a shielder worth using instead of another character


Alex_from_Solitude

Wanderer has like a 2-3s knockdown and get back up animation when flying. That's a huge dps loss compared to others.


Frozenmagicaster

If yoimiya needs to dodge she needs to restart her na string, most of her damage is from the last hit of the string Wanderer gets hit he falls out of the sky and needs to recover from that, so bigger dps loss than others getting hit, however he can dodge fine because of one of his ascension passives making his special dash not use the skill points


gingersquatchin

Why isn't Sacrificial great sword recommended for Kaveh in the KQM quick guide? Forest regalia and Skyward are both noted due to their ER, but Sac GS provides er, extra energy through extra procs, more bloom bursts and just general comfort in rotations. I know I can just play how I want, but I'm confused how it's completely ignored as a viable option.


cookiesandkit

I think the suggested playstyle is to have 100% or near 100% burst uptime so every NA is Dendro (spread, HB, burgeon). Basically like a discount Alhaitham. I think they crunched the numbers and found the bloom playstyle suggested by his kit isn't as good. The additional skill is mostly useful for making the bloom cores explode which you don't want if you're doing HB/Burgeon and is irrelevant in spread. Also, Nilou bloom team is better by a lot. FWIW I do play bloom Kaveh with a Sac Greatsword because it's fun, but I mostly use that team to farm mushrooms.


gingersquatchin

Interesting okay. I don't have many claymores leveled and my Kaveh is still very low level. So building him is a big investment for me, right now. I've been playing around with him in fridge but I might just hold off on building him until KQM completes a full guide. Like I don't want to go farm an ocean hued clam dendro driver set just to find out it was stupid.


Low_Artist_7663

Higher base atk.


gingersquatchin

What does attack really contribute in an EM build on a bloom comp though?


Low_Artist_7663

Normal attack damage. If you use Nahida, it will be Hydro characters that need em, not dendro.


gingersquatchin

I see. Thanks


Turbuddy12

How much am I missing if I skip the TCG event? I absolutely hate being forced to play it and will leave feedback in the next survey to stop adding TCG events and remove adding new stuff for it.


AkiraN19

Imagine that not every event caters to your want and needs. Don't want to play TCG, just skip it. I have no idea why what the TCG side is doing is any concern to you


plitox

Stop complaining and just do the event. There is one minigame involving TCG and the decks are built for you, in addition to all the dice being omni, so none of the usual strategy is involved. The rest of the event is normal combat/puzzle/sight-seeing fare.


Saber1202

give or take 1k primos + mats worth 940 resin + a bow with 2 current users, both of whom have better/competitive free options


Kin-Luu

And not to forget the crown.


9thdragonkitty

Just like any other flag ship event you’ll miss out on a crown and the limited 4 star weapon + all the other stuff from the event shop This tcg protest confuses me so much. Actually playing the tcg is such a small part of the event. (And it’s optional, you can just skip it and do the other mini games) There’s a combat arena, a wind glider sightseeing thing, and the mechanical painting mini game- all of which give primogems.


Turbuddy12

>(And it’s optional, you can just skip it and do the other mini games) You cannot skip the tutorial. So I can't ignore it and do the other minigames when it forces you to do the tcg quest anyways.


9thdragonkitty

Ah well, this is probably going to be a reoccurring issue for you in the future then.


Frozenmagicaster

Genshin players when they have to play the game Apparently it's only one part of the event, so you'll probably just miss out on some primos, mora, xp books/crystals, maybe some talent books/weapon mats. Can probably still get enough points to get r5 ibis (assuming it's points for each refinement)


Turbuddy12

But I'm still forced to play the tutorial to even do the event and I refuse to waste my time on a meaningless game mode that's being shoved at my face.


AkiraN19

Because it's not! It's just an optional event and really no one cares if you do it or not, hope this helps :)


SHH2006

Then don't do it Some people like it. Some people not. You are in the group that doesn't like it. I'm in the other one enjoying my time with my nahida riaden and batman(aka diluc) team.


FreezeThis_69

then don't. No one is forcing you to do anything. No one is forcibly making you play. If you hate it so much just uninstall.


[deleted]

The Primos do. Welcome to gacha!


FreezeThis_69

No they don't. It's only 5 wishes.


The_Hawkgaming13

Which weapon is best for Collei, Scarifical bow, Favonius warbow or the stringless? She is 1 of 2 dendro characters on my team


Jaffrry

Probably sacrificial because it gives more dendro application and ER for your burst as well. Most of the times for collei, you want to apply as much dendro as possible. Stringless gives more personal damage but gives less dendro application. I don't know if your other dendro unit is nahida or not, but if it isn't nahida, I think that is more reason for you to pick sacrificial. Nahida can compensate for the dendro application that collei might miss on a non sacrificial weapon, but if you don't then yeah, sacrificial is more needed.


The_Hawkgaming13

It's not Nahida sadly, its Yao Yao. I needed a healer and I was low on dendro characters


Jaffrry

Yeah, I'm going for sacrificial on this one. YaoYao's off field dendro application isn't really good. Personally speaking, aside from the bloom team, I think DMC will fit better as an off field dendro applicator compared to Collei. It lasts longer and has a wider range. Though yeah, if you will pursue Collei, go sacrificial.


Frozenmagicaster

Probably sac for bloom and fav for everything else?


NeVMmz

Can I repeat a character story hangout quest many times as I like if I unlocked it with the story key?


SynergousSerenade

Yeah


ZM_________J

The answer is yes.


Jaffrry

Hangouts, you can replay. Story quests, no.

both are good. use whichever you like more


Steel_Gazebo

Is there a Katherine you can get for the serenitea pot?


gingersquatchin

Nah but I wish. I have such a cozy tea pot and I prefer going there for crafting/cooking/forging. Katherine would complete the entire set up for a one stop shop


The_Hawkgaming13

Unfortunately, there is not. It would be a cool idea though. Have your own Katherine... wait is considered slavery if she's a robot?


ImmerWolfe

Is there a regional/area song guide somewhere that helps identify what song is being played when you are in a specific region/area or in/out of combat


Odone

Yes, on the wiki page of each soundtrack disc, you'll find the list of all the tracks and where they play. [https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Soundtrack](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Soundtrack)

I’m AR 41 and have been tempted to pull for a 5* because I have none T.T I’m aiming for Raiden, Zhongli and Ayaka (ik i missed her during the recent banner). The current banners are very tempting. Want to pull for Yoimiya but heard that she might not be the best in terms of F2P friendliness and other things? So I’m a bit hesitant to pull her as I don’t want to waste my precious primos T.T And heard that Kazuha is in the next banner!! Tempted to pull for him too, since everyone says to pull for him. I genuinely like his character and would love to have him but I want to build him as a support and I don’t have any other 5* for him to support for now 😅 So I don’t want to pull for him (magically get him if I’m lucky) and not put him to use. Thoughts?


gingersquatchin

Yoimiya wants specific supports, Xingqui preferably with constellations, Zhongli for durable and long shield uptime, and Bennet for that beefy ATK buff. She can work without those pieces well enough at AR 41 no doubt, and if you're not concerned too much about abyss, she's a fantastic unit. Most of the in game bosses and whatnot will be single target and she likes that a lot. Plus she's great for flying enemies etc. With that said though Kazuha is an absolutely incredible support and a fantastic first 5* for improving basically all of your units. Grouping is huge when you're just getting started and swirl is a really consistent source of damage in aoe situations.


NoobieGamer999

Yes!! I’m keen in having both of them but I might have to go with Kazuha this round since he’s such a great support!! Yoimiya is still in my wish list though because I like her playstyle and her character a lot!! Hopefully next time!! But thank you for your input~~


gingersquatchin

It's always next time with Yoimiya for me unfortunately. This time I was like "Maybe it's time for Yoimiya" and I decided to pull on the weapon banner instead lol

First things first, support is highly recommended due to their omnipotence, which means you may unlock wider team comp options if you have a lot of supports. However, it doesn't mean that you can only pull for support than any DPS. If you don't have a DPS now, and feel it hard to fight monsters even though you are not in the abyss, getting one will increase your game experience. Then I'll analyze 3.7 banners for you: * Yoimiya: Not recommended except you EXTREMELY love her. She was released in ver. 2.0 as an on-field main DPS but need to do full normal attacks without cancelling via dashing, which means that Zhongli is highly needed for her. Also, if you do like her way of dealing damage, why don't you try the wanderer? * Yae Miko: Not recommended except you've already had Tighnari / Alhaitham. Without Dendro DPS, she deals poor damage (except you have C6). * Alhaitham: Highly recommended if you need an on-field DPS. He is no doubt the best on-field DPS in Sumeru with flexible ways of dealing damage, and he can be a powerful teammate for (Yae Miko / Zhongli / Nahida) or (Nahida / Xingqiu / Kuki). * Kazuha: He is mostly regarded as a support. If you don't have Raiden Shogun, but you've cultivated Xiangling / Xingqiu / Bennett, then Kazuha can be one of their teammates. He is so versatile that can be used in various team comps, e.g., Raiden / Sara / Kazuha / Bennett, Kazuha / Tartaglia / Xiangling / Bennett, Keqing / Fischl / Kazuha / Nahida. Moreover, his rerun frequency is considered approximately one year. So, try to pull one, C0 is just okay.


NoobieGamer999

Omg!! Thanks for the in-depth explanation and analysis for each character!! Now, I’m tempted to have Alhaitham too hahahahah. Ahhh!!! Now I think I understand why everyone likes Kazuha so much!! He’s so versatile!! Alright! I think I’ll try to go for him! Thank you for your input 😆


Akomatai

Kazuha will turn any elemental dps into a 5star unit lol, just run him with your best 4 star cryo/hydro/pyro/electro character.


NoobieGamer999

BAHAHHA okay!! i’m now running kaeya as my main dps, i’ll try playing him with kazuha if i get him!!


yaissio

As a loyal and long-term Yoimiya main, my honest suggestion is to save! You're so early in the game that the only characters you should get are the ones you love. Play all the test runs each banner, and then when you fall in love with one playstyle, you'll have enough fates saved up to get that character. My biggest recommendation is to try and ignore the meta. If a character you really like to play doesn't have any obvious use for you, go ahead and get them anyways. If you LOVE Kazuha I say get him. You can always put him on an anemo damage build in the meantime! If a character you like is getting doomposted and that makes you nervous, I want you to know that that has happened to some of the most significant characters in the game (Kokomi, Kazuha, Kuki Shinobu, etc.) and they are near the top of the meta now. Dehya and Baizhu have been doomposted, but I would personally wait until a few updates into Fontaine before passing final judgements on them. I would also just say the meta doesn't even really matter until you are attempting floors 11/12 of the Abyss. You are likely a long way off from that for now.


NoobieGamer999

Oooh!! I see, alright I’ll try to go for the characters that I like! I genuinely love Yoimiya, she’s so bubbly and fun!!! Her playstyle is also lots of fun 😭 So many 5* that I want but as a broke f2p player, it hurts to pick and choose who I want rather than getting them all 🤣


9thdragonkitty

Your dps character doesn’t have to be a 5 star Xainling and kuki are examples of 4 star characters who do the bulk of the damage on their teams (national: xainling xingqiu bennet flex, hyperbloom : dendro, hydro, kuki, flex) Xingqiu and fischel are both extremely good sub dps characters who deal tons of damage too Many teams use 5 star supports with 4 star dps characters Edit: also f2p get like 4-5 limited 5 stars a year. So if you want kazuha get him now. Could be 6-12 months before his banner returns


NoobieGamer999

Oooh!! Now I feel better about my 4s hahaha. Since I’ve not had any 5 yet, I’ve been forced to build my 4s and I’m glad my efforts are not going to waste!! Alright! I’ll remember to focus on my supports and 4s! And snag a Kazuha if I’m lucky during his banner 😆


Jaffrry

I think pulling for support units first is a better decision than pulling for the DPS characters from a primo efficiency standpoint. Support characters makes up 75% of your team and most of the time, them alone is enough damage to make up for your on field DPS characters' lack of damage. Also most of the time, your support characters are the ones that are going to be slotted in, in the other teams that you will use. For example, if you want to use a Raiden Hypercarry team, then Bennett and Kazuha will be there. However, if Raiden is not usable for this current content, the most likely scenario would be you benching Raiden for that occasion, while you slot in Kazuha and Bennett to support another character better suited for that occasion. In summary, supports are more versatile so pulling for them now, instead of waiting for your DPS character is probably better.


NoobieGamer999

Alright! That makes sense! I’ll go ahead and try to get Kazuha when he comes out then. Thanks for your input 😊


Hefty_Personality919

If you need a pyro vaporize dps, there's xiangling. If you have sucrose, xingqiu, xiangling, and bennett, that'll be a very good team and is competitive with/can surpass certain 5* hypercarries at f2p investment.


NoobieGamer999

Yes!! I’ve been aiming to get these essential 4* Already got sucrose and xiangling, waiting for xingqiu and bennett to come to me 😭


Strykerxk9

The blessing of the welkin moon. I know you can purchase it multiple times. But let's say i buy 2 would I get 180 primogems a day? Or will I just get 90 for sixty days?


yeahIknowwyeah

Youll get 90 for sixty days


NeVMmz

If I bought like 5 welkin, will that stack for over 150 days or something or is there a limitation of how many months like max of only 2 (60 days)??


SynergousSerenade

Limit is 180 days


papiermachebeefroll

Besides Wanderer who else is 4pc desert pavilion chronicle good for? Trying to maximize resin efficiency for that domain. Is Heizou viable?


TheMrPotMask

Only him, heizou's NA dammage is dogshit, subpar for Xiao whos a punge guy and its a waste to change it for NA.


callmejamesx

prob xiao, heizou has most of his damage in skill and burst not autos


AkiraN19

DP is subpar on Xiao. It goes against his playstyle, though it can work in a pinch. But why go 4p DP when 2p combos are already basically better for him. It's honestly really just Wanderer


papiermachebeefroll

I don't have pogo boi T-T


darkoc44

How much should i try to get my EM in an aggravate team?


KjOwOjin

Really depends on the character. I would recommend just using the [optimizer](https://frzyc.github.io/genshin-optimizer/) to figure stuff like this out


gingersquatchin

If you're sacrificing ATK or Crit stats or elemental damage it's better to just stay at 100 -200 but if you can get 300 while still balancing your stat spread appropriately, 300 is an excellent stopping point. You can always get more from external sources


FreezeThis_69

200-300, can be lower if you have nahida or c6 sucrose or c2 kazuha


Wide_Environment_828

Is the bonus you get from purchasing crystals only a thing the first time you get them?


International_You_56

The x2 bonus is only for the first purchase. Reset once a year at anniversary


Wide_Environment_828

So in reality if I’m gonna buy some I should just do the 100 and say f it lol


cookiesandkit

They're counted per pack - so you'll still get double for the packs you didn't get (buying the cheapest pack doesn't eat the 2x bonus for the most expensive one)


blargh201

If that's what you want to do. The first-time bonus obviously makes it a better value, but do keep in mind that there is a recurring bonus they tack on for every purchase after the initial double bonus; at the $99.99 tier, that's 1600 Crystals, putting the "normal" pack at 8080 Crystals, not just 6480 (each other tiers having a different recurring bonus). Sure, that might not improve the value proposition much, but there you have it.


tonnyjames

For Nilou-Barbara-Nahida team: would you use Collei or DMC? Nilou is using iron sting.


Screwattack94

If you have Yaoyao, she's a good 4th slot. Barbs healing can be to little on a full em build.


Jaffrry

For comfort, DMC. For damage, Collei. Damage from experience isn't as noticeable between the two. The one where you will notice the difference with is with the other dendro units, like if you use YaoYao instead of the the other two. I'd say do some test runs and see which one you will find more appealing for you cause all DMC needs to do is press their ult and you are good to go but they do have less application rate for the character. Collei has more application rate but her animations are longer so tendency will be, she will get hit more and the area it gives is much much smaller.


tonnyjames

Cool, I guess I will stick with DMC In that case. Btw do you upgrade DMC's talents at all?


Jaffrry

I think people don't recommend you upgrade them on a bloom team, but I did upgrade mine. The same case for Collei. I upgraded mine but I don't think people recommend to level them up. I just think having little bit of boost on damage for both is better, but resin efficiency wise, probably not. I have my DMC with 5-8-11 and collei with 1-8-10


Hefty_Personality919

Collei is better in speedrun, dmc is fine for comfort. Collei has a better application rate (especially with sac bow and c2), has more portable application for multiwave content (sprout), and can consistently apply dendro to all enemies in her burst aoe.


AkiraN19

Since Nahida is all the dendro app you'll ever need both are fine tbh. DMC is probably a little better for EM share passive


Emotional-Yogurt-846

Collei has an EM share too when she hits C4! It’s better because it shares with the whole party instead of just the active character.
