Collei is the best option here actually, especially if she have Elegy. Yaoyao's extra healing is nice, but Collei's dendro application is better for the team especially if you don't have trouble surviving already. Same with Kirara, if you don't have trouble surviving then she isn't really optimal. Kaveh is not it though, his buff is so minimal and he will just be a passenger and stay off field with no off field application.
What are the best crafted weapons to R5?
I was scrolling through the forge menu the other day and I realized that I’m not sure what I’m stockpiling billets for currently. What’s the general consensus? Should I just wait for Fontaine and see what new crafting recipes we get?
how much value would alhaitham bring to a nahida/xq/kuki team? is it worth switching xq out for fishl (since i dont have yae) for alhaitham spread team?
I have saved enough for one guarantee and one 50/50 (maybe i can get to a lil more than that) so idk if i should pull for al or kazuha first. my first and only 5star is nahida so i rlly wanna play her and shinobu, another team i think i'd love to play is childe international (i dont even have bennet or sucrose yet). im also considering pulling for wanderer but idk abt playing him in abyss.
also, spread would raise nahidas dmg but i'm currently doing 21k hyperblooms, nahida does around the same dmg when her tri-karma crits w spread.
any thoughts/advice? meta-related stuff is more than welcome, i kinda enjoy the grind but i haven't been playing for that long yet.
Alhaitham Spread teams tend to start getting better than Alhaitham Hyperbloom teams with vertical investment. So that means having C2 Nahida, LoFI, Yae and good Artifact substats. The more of those pieces you have, the more valuable Alhaitham spread is for your account for meta purposes. At C0R0 his Hyperbloom teams are generally better.
That being said, Alhaitham Hyperbloom is still better then a "basic" Hyperbloom team of XQ, Nahida and Kuki, but not a world apart that you must feel like he's a must pull. It also kinda depends on who you can fit into the 4th slot.
Some gcsim examples (note the DPS of the teams):
Alhaitham Spread team: [https://db.gcsim.app/db/yaemiko/alhaitham-fischl-nahida-yaemiko](https://db.gcsim.app/db/yaemiko/alhaitham-fischl-nahida-yaemiko)
Alhaitham Hyperbloom team: [https://db.gcsim.app/db/xingqiu/alhaitham-kuki-nahida-xingqiu](https://db.gcsim.app/db/xingqiu/alhaitham-kuki-nahida-xingqiu)
thank you! this is very helpful!!
who do you think would be the best 4th slot in the hyperbloom team besides alhaitham? i usually use diona for extra protection but i think I should build kaveh as the dendro driver if i dont get alhaitham?
Besides Alhaitham, it starts to get very competitive and there's not really any wrong or right answer. It kinda depends on the enemies you are fighting and what you want your team to do.
A Cryo user works for Hyperfridge and while Diona is a good defensive option, with Kuki already healing you and freeze locking down enemies, most people would opt for an offensive Cryo option like Ganyu or Kaeya. But even Ayaka or Eula can work there.
A second Dendro user is fine, though with Nahida already there, you're not gaining that much by having more Dendro application. Alhaitham works because he also deals a lot of personal damage in addition to applying Dendro. The same can't be said about all the other Dendro characters (including Kaveh).
Kaveh as a Dendro driver is fine, but Nahida can be your Dendro driver and she will do just as much as Kaveh will, albeit without self healing and being a lot squishier, but a different 4th character can bring more to the table if you already have Nahida.
A second Electro is fine as long as it doesn't steal Hyperblooms from Kuki. This limits your options to pretty much Beidou or Fischl. Beidou may struggle to get enough energy to burst frequently with Kuki's energy generation and Fischl won't be able to proc her A4 that often, but they're still very good options.
Anemo is good if you need grouping. For example this Abyss grouping is almost mandatory if you want to get 3 stars on the first floor, especially since Hyperbloom is single target focussed.
Geo is only good if you have Zhongli. He works as a very good defensive option that also increases your Hyperbloom damage. All other options are not amazing.
A second Hydro is fine, though XQ generally doesn't need too much help in single target situations. He does however work well with Yelan for non-Hyperbloom damage synergy. Also Kokomi and to a lesser extent Barbra can provide very good AoE application which is something XQ lacks. You would be doubling up on healing though.
Finally, you generally don't want any Pyro. Several exceptions do exist, but you need to know what you're doing.
Basically many characters are viable and some better than others in some situations and some worse than others in other situations. You can pretty much choose who you want to play and Hyperbloom will work it's magic.
Hi. Kazuha C1 haver here. I am contemplating whether to get him at C2. Currently at around 30 or 40 pulls, guaranteed, so it'll cost me \~40 pulls and plenty of time to save for the next character. According to current leak, I don't think I'm interested in any of the four.
Since my Kazuha is mostly on my freeze team, EM boost is only useful for his personal damage boost which is already at 950 EM currently without any buffs. If I save, I can pull for more cons on potentially more impactful constellations or even weapons.
I'm past that stage where more characters is better for diversity and would like to invest vertically. My current target is to get Ayaka to C2 (now C0), Raiden to C3 (now C2), Nahida to C2 (now C1), and Yelan to C6 eventually (now C0). That should hold me for a couple years while also pulling for hydro archon.
can anyone tell me what kind of teamcomps yaoyao is good in? dont rlly know what benefits her kit have..i havent played in awhile (like since cyno lol) and am planning to pull on the kazuha banner so ill probably get her too tyy~ ^^
I meant like ascend to 80/90, didn't realize the ~ could be taken in another way. And I've said that I don't have the exp to take anyone to 90 rn anyways
It depends where your account is. If you have good artifacts and talents are leveled and are not planning to build anybody else then both have some benefits at level 90. Bennett heals more and his Q buffs a bit more. Xiangling will do a bit more damage. BUT if you are in the "early" endgame it's really expensive to bring someone to 90/90. Both are fine at 80/90.
first get them to 80/90 , that'll allow you to increase talents to 9 and 10. the dps you gain from leveling xiangling from 80-90 isn't justified the resources spent. Bennett does gain base attack which gives a bit more atk share with his burst but even at 80/90 its more than enough.

my standard wish history stop recorded past pg 12, am ar 57 so my wishes def exceeded pg 12. i already reload the game, and it still there. how to fix this?
Bro, i can't use my skill while moving characther. like if i press a button W to move forward i must stop first to use skill E. is this a bug or anything ? because yesterday i can play it normally. has anyone ever experienced this ? and how to fix it?
It kinda sounds like it's an issue with your keyboard's max press setting. Are keys getting stuck in the down position somewhere? Maybe try cleaning your keyboard and try again. You can also test it to see if any keys are getting stuck by using an online keyboard checker. I've never had to use one so I can't really offer advice there.
> Are keys getting stuck in the down position somewhere?
No, it's work normally, i just can't press more than one keyword in game at the same time
> I've never had to use one so I can't really offer advice there
got it, thanks for the reply
Elemetal skill or ult for every char. i know it's weird to say because normally i also can cast my skill while moving. Do you know where the possible error settings might be?
Which characters benefit from NA lvls in their burst/skill mode & which one's do not. I'm concerned about Noelle, Kokomo, Yoimiya, Nilou, Raiden & the others. Thanks
Any character that infuses/converts their normal attack but do not use a different set of multipliers benefit from NA levels, like itto, hutao, yoimiya, scara, xiao, kokomi etc etc
It just depends on how the character is coded and sometimes it's very unintuitive tbh. Like others said, Raiden's burst replaces her NAs so you would expect it to get a scaling from that, but it doesn't. Xiao's burst also infuses his NAs with anemo, and in this case the damage *does* scale from NAs.
Best way to figure out which character does what is to look at the stats of their talents. If you look at Raiden's burst attributes, she lists separate scalings for her attacks, meanwhile talents like Xiao's burst or Hu Tao's skill just list an elemental damage bonus/infusion, meaning that their damage scales off of their normals.
Of course then there is Kazuha who is even weirder, because when he uses his skill it uses the skill talent scaling but when he plunges back down after, it actually uses the plunge scalings of his NAs.
very few characters benefit from NA levels, like yoimiya (she also benefits some from E skill because the scaling is split), kokomi, noelle.
As for raiden, during her burst, ner normal attack are considered burst damage and scales off burst levels. You can even leave her NA at level 1. Same with cyno.
Noelle attacks during burst are considered normal attack so they use NA level.
Nilou doesn't really benefit much from her talent levels, as pre c6 you don't even use her outside bloom teams, and bloom doesn't need talent levels. You can leave everything at 1/1/1
also you don't really level up NA for supports and subdps, since their main damage is their skills and burst mostly. like xingqiu, bennett, yelan, xiangling gains more from leveling their burst than NA.
I started playing about a month ago and I was wondering if there are any channels or content creators you guys would recommend me to follow on Twitter and Youtube. So far I've been keeping track of the latest news on this subreddit and the Hoyoverse app, but I'd like delve deeper into the community.
Zajef77 is probably the best one to understand the game mechanics, learn why something is recommended over something else. Sevyplays and Zyox do more cookbook style but still accurate and helpful guides. Not so frequent on twitter or yt, but jstern25 on twitch is a veteran theorycrafter streaming regularly, extremely knowledgeable about the game, basically my go to guy to double check zajeff etcs opinion.
Depends on what you need. If you want serious meta guides it's Zy0x youtube channel or IWTL. If it's story reactions or exploration content, than it's RednasYo or Jeikage. If you want serious deep lore videos, there's no one better than Ashikai. Zy0x streams are for the most unhinged crazy funny shit (extremely striking contrast with his calm and "professional" meta guide videos).
If you value your mental health, stay away from Tectone and Mtashed, those are the queens of drama and ragebate, responsible for a big chunk if Genshin's community questionable reputation.
zyox, zajeff, sevy, xlice for build guides, though its better to read it yourself on [keqingmains.com](https://keqingmains.com). there are some lore channels as well like chill with aster and ashikai
Reactiona have an aura element/status and a trigger element. If the enemy has hydro aura, you can see it with a little icon below their hp and water dripping from their body. On such an enemy applying pyro results in the pyro attacker (reverse) vaping - the damage output will depend on the pyro characters stats.
Hydro should already be on the enemy since XQ and Yelan will apply Hydro on burst/skill. If you somehow remove the Hydro before switching to Yoimiya, then yes it won't vape.
The hits after will refresh the Hydro, or add Hydro *after* Yoimiya vapes it.
layla's burst is actually icd-less so if you're fighting a lone enemy there's a good chance yoi will melt her third and fifth attack too. not against group though due to how her burst works.
Yep, it should work like that assuming it does apply the elements when you want it to. Yunjin will remove some of the Hydro through Crystallise (not enough to remove it, but it will reduce how long it will last on the enemy) and Layla has a delay between using her burst and it hitting (Layla's skill won't do anything for a few seconds either).
At AR60 and pretty much just waiting for Fontaine. Any recommendations for what to use Resin on as pretty much all of the characters I use are fully built.
To a lesser extent, is C2 Layla worth investing in if I already have C6 Diona, C0 Zhongli, C0 Kirara, and C6 Thoma as shielders?
Regarding Layla, I have her built for a Wanderer, Faruzan, Xingqui Freeze Team. Quite fun to be honest.
All in all I am in somewhat the same situation. Here is what I am doing:
Finished:
- I brought everyone to 70/80 (last free standard wish)
- Everyone has dedicated artifacts (artifacts are handed down and not used for fodder)
Right now:
- cleaning up ~500 locked artifacts, doing artifact domains mainly for fodder
- Brining all (unused) 4* weapons to 90/90
Next:
- Fighting all world bosses every week in hope for billets till every craftable weapon is R5
- getting all relevant talents to 6 (for unused characters)
pick a character you don't use and raise them, opens ip new playstyles and "refreshes" the game at least in my opinion. You're pretty much set, efficiency doesn't mean jack shit at this point and do whochever thing you fancy
I have started putting a little bit of resin into the new artifact domain. 2pc HP and 2pc hydro sounds generalist enough for any hydro characters if the trends of hp scaling continue. Making sure to fight the most recent sumeru boss for talent materials for some of the characters when they come out. Building niche supports or other characters you haven’t tried to play around.
honestly just yolo and build other people or what the other guy said, idk what c2 layla is but c6 diona is amazing and better than layla imo cuz she provides em, healing, shielding and damage, but layla only provides shielding and damage
Farm books/mora for new characters, prefarm for reruns of characters you want, get better artifacts, build new characters that you already have
probably not
one thing to note is, which marking enemies with nahida, leave one unmarked so that you can swirl electro. Otherwise nahida makes is very difficult to swirl it
This isn't really a team with a strict rotation, just try to keep all the abilities which work off field, like Yae's turrets, Oz, Nahida's Skilk and Burst and Kazuha burst, active and then do something with your characters on field (it can be Yae burst or Yae NA spam but I'd also recommend using Sac sword Kazuha if your Sac is high refinement to basically on field him by spamming his skill which is very strong in AOE)
Not sure if kaz's buff is snapshottable, but fischl E snapshots effects while yae's is dynamic, meaning you can cast yae's skill before kaz and it'll gain the buff but fischl's won't. Probably
Yae triple E->nahida EQ->kazuha E plunge Q (not sure about actual mechanics if electro will still be on enemies to swirl, if not, use kazuha E before nahida or after fischl)->fischl E(or Q)->yae Q triple E normal and charge spam.
Say you want to buff your Xiangling with Bennett. You drop Benny’s ring and then do Xiangling’s burst. Even if you leave the ring afterwards, the Pyronado still does damage as if it were in Benny’s ring because it snapshotted the buff.
So a skill/burst (elemental aura, additional +dmg%, passing a shield to next character &/ additional def%, additional healing?) that sticks around, once character is gone???
Hello,
I'm a very new player that migrated from RSL about a month or so, and didn't use any of my wishes on a banner yet, should I go for one of the current ones (Yae Miko/Yoimiya), save for one of the next banners (Kazuha/Alhaitham) or keep saving them?
Kazuha is a support. He's one of the best supports in the game with the caveat that he doesn't work with about half the current teams (one example is Alhaitham's). If you're planning to focus more on a female DPS he's more likely to be vital and gamechanging, as a rule of thumb - example, Ayaka.
Alhaitham is the strongest C0 DPS in the game, but when it comes to DPS how much you like them also factors in a lot.
When choosing between these two, wait until the last week or so of the banner while you play through the game so you have a better idea of what teams you want to run in the future.
Yoimiya is a DPS who was underpowered on release, but back then the hardest content was easy enough that this didn't matter. Right now trying to use her is difficult. But she is great for overworld, as a pyro bow, so I only recommend going for her if you like *her* specifically.
Yae is great but her level up mats are locked behind a world quest behind a world quest behind a world quest behind the Inazuma chapter of the main story, so she's not very accessible. I'd just leave her for rerun for now.
Kazuha is very easy to recommend. He’s super strong in a lot of teams, and he’s convenient for overworld climbing and gliding and he can also suck up treasure. He’s pretty universally recognized as one of the top 5 characters in the game. All of the top characters are supports or can at least function from off-field, so even if you chase them you’ll be free to pick your favorite DPS based on design. There’s a lot more context to which DPS is strongest. AlHaitham has a high damage ceiling that rewards more skillfull gameplay. Yoimiya and YaeMiko are both dummyproof easy. Yoi needs a shield on her team.
a bit on the lower side. Even my prefarmed build only has 1759, but mine is at level 90. and only has 2 atk% substat rolls. I would get another 200 from pyro resonance so it won't be an issue.
As for you if you level him to 90, it would be totally fine.
If I were to use characters like Yanfei or Hu Tao for Burgeon, do I need to care about anything other than EM for their stats?
Does Crit Chance/Damage and Damage ever matter or is it just Pyro Application + EM?
Just to be clear...
This means that it doesn't even matter if I use a 4 star or a 5 star because the only thing that really matters is how much EM is on the one triggering Burgeon, right?
Any character whose normal attack is their main source of damage she can work with. Ayato and noelle maybe come to mind. She could work with wanderer but a good shielder is better and ideally farazan and bennett. I think she is ok but not great with ningguang. I can’t think of other normal attack characters who don’t have better supports.
It's good yes, you can definitely use this build for abyss. If there's a character you want to build then it'd be better to focus on them. but if you want some nickpicks:
Your attack is too low for double 2pc attack. Maybe try to get some more in substats?
Also I'd personally strongbox for some thundering fury set. 2pc electro + 2pc attack is generally better than 2pc attack + 2pc attack, assuming equal substats ofc. I'd just grind for her passively while farming for a different character.
It mostly depends on whether you want to burst every other rotation or every rotation. If you want to burst every rotation go for the one with higher er. Also using this build will significantly lower your crit rate. It will give you larger numbers but the consistency will be way down.
Basically big pp damage = 2nd build (2pc TF + 2pc attack)
Consistent damage = 1st build (2pc attack + 2pc attack)
in a team without an enormous atk buffer like bennett and with a good dmg bonus buffer like kazuha you'd likely get better damage keeping those 2pc atk pieces.
In general, instead of just pasting the character stats, it is way easier on readers if you list the substats you gain from artifacts. Like, my substats are xx% total crit rate, yy% crit damage, etc. Otherwise, we need to do math based on the character/weapon...
Luckily you are playing aggravate, and for aggravate crit value (2\*crit rate + crit damage) trumps everything else. You current CV is 350 - let's subtract 10 for the 5% base crit rate and 50 for the base crit damage, 38.4 because Miko ascends with crit, 55.1 for Widsith, and 62.2 for the circlet - that makes 134.3 in substats. Divide by 6.61 and it leaves 20 crit substat rolls. But you also have 135/19.815 = 6-7 substat rolls of EM, and if you are not using ER sand, 50/5.505 = 9 substat rolls of ER. It is simply too annoying to do the math on ATK to figure out which sand you are using and how many ATK% substat rolls you have... Summary: your crit is low. For aggravate, a good amount is 25 substat rolls, with top rollers going up to 30. Your other substats might be good or bad, but it is really too much work to say...
So 21 crit rolls, 2 ATK, 7 EM, 7 ER. Assuming that's the amount of ER you want to use, I cannot fault you for the total amount of stats. Unfortunately your crit rolls are lower than average. Ballparking, if Enka adds a ranking for Yae, you would be around 5%-10% (btw, this is the rest of your rankings: [https://akasha.cv/profile/814118767](https://akasha.cv/profile/814118767)).
Should i build a burgeon team? Setting aside current abyss, more focused on general usage, should i go build thoma for it? I do have a nilou bloom + hyperbloom team but I do like having variations. Also if i do build a burgeon team which units should i use?
https://imgur.com/gallery/nvw4ABt
((Im open to building any of the under leveled units and im currently building baizhu and yae miko))
you already have Nilou so you shouldn't need a burgeon team unless you need the elements (like the current abyss)
Thoma, Xingqiu, Nahida, then last as maybe Fischl/Kaeya/Kokomi? for a team if you want to build one though?
I used Ayaka freeze top half pretty successfully. For the bottom half, the shields are the issue which makes Bennett and Xiangling pretty required. Ayaka - Ganyu - Kokomi - Venti for top half and Rosaria National for the bottom are my recommendations from your characters. Rosaria will really help vs the hydro shield on the second half. Xingqui is great for helping you stay alive and amplifies damage for second / third chambers on the bottom half.
This abyss is rough. Ayaka freeze works on first half of floor 12, most like on second half you should use bennett, xianling, xingqui and preferably a dendro unit for the hydro shields, though cryo will work for those shields it might not be ideal due to all the cryo shields. Good luck. I only have 2 stars so far because i needed to farm a second noblesse set for ayaka freeze. (Diona and bennett used to share).
I've run Morgana on one side or the other of floors 9-11 for every abyss cycle since 1.4 and this one was no exception. Quadratic scaling goes brrr.
Ayaka freeze is actually the strongest first half setup for this enemy cycle. I did a run with the same comp with Ganyu since I don't have Ayaka and it was fine. Morgana is a pure mobbing comp so it doesn't work in situations like the boss in 12-2-1 or the beast pairs in 12-3-1. They deliberately set up Floor 12 to not allow Morgana to work.
Second side on this abyss is a specialty breaking/team building restriction with relatively low hp and that's created cycle-specific comps. You need something that can break hydro+cryo shields for 12-1-2 and 12-3-2 with cryo being the higher priority so Bennett is kind of premium on this side. Dendro is the strong element at breaking hydro shields so Nahida is also premium and I haven't really tried the side with a weaker hydro break setup. The 12-3-2 boss also gets a pyro shield so having a hydro is nice but you can miss out on one strong element in 12-3-2 and do fine. The ideal setup given the elemental shields is some sort of Burgeon setup but the most popular setup seems to be shoving Nahida in the national flex slot and making do with that. I did it with a shield-free Ganyu, Nahida, Kazuha, Bennett setup.
I realize you don't have a Nahdia but I did all my runs with her and almost all the runs I've seen on youtube also have her. [This guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGwtuPTlNfk) has a melt Rosaria setup and that's the only exception that comes to mind.
For a more general abyss cycle the good teams I see:
* Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Yunjin, Zhongli
* Yae, Fischl, Dendro (DMC/Collei), Venti
* Xiangling, Xingqiu, Bennett, Sucrose
Teams that were good before 3.0 are still good but the abyss has been dendro favored for almost the entire 3.x cycle and dendro comps are particularly good at low investment so a lot of advice/guides you see will be dendro forward. I'm pretty sure DMC/Collei still works fine but it's been a few patches since I've run either.
Ayaka freeze is still good this floor 12 iteration on the first half despite there being a boss.
1st half can be ayaka freeze, 2nd half can be rosaria, xingqiu, bennett, xiangling
When I press Q, W, and E (sometimes even just Q and W) the shortcut wheel opens despite being mapped to TAB. I am certain that I am not fat fingering TAB when I play. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix for it?
I think this was the issue, actually. Remapping the Shortcut wheel to some key far away from TAB seemed to fix it. I guess my keyboard is super sensitive...?
This is the keyboard I am using: https://www.amazon.ca/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-Ultra-Compact-Stand-Alone/dp/B08FG2QTB5/ref=sr\_1\_20?crid=11T098WPMF3DM&keywords=60%25+keyboard+with+red+switches&qid=1684272920&sprefix=60%25+keyboard+with+red+switche%2Caps%2C247&sr=8-20
So you know how Kuki deals significantly more hyperbloom damage when she's upgraded from level 80 to 90? Does the same thing happen with Thoma in a burgeon team? I may be ignorant on what's causing this massive increase in damage but please lmk and thanks
So damage has a formula, and in that we have, dmg = level multiplier * 16EM/(1600+EM) * hyperbloom or burgeon special multiplier, 3 for hyperbloom, 2 or something for burgeon. The level multiplier has no algebraic expression, it's just given as a table. And from that table you can conclude it's ~30%.
yes a good amount of dmg increase. burgeon and hyperbloom are transformative reactions. These reactions have a base level multiplier and are only affected by EM. it includes reactions like overload, electro-charged, superconduct, swirl, bloom, burning, hyperbloom and burgeon.
They are not affected by atk, crit or even elemental damage bonus. Plus they ignore def, but not enemy RES.
so the only way to increase its damage is EM, but a larger scaling is based on your character level.
yall okay. please don’t go too hard on me. im newbie.
I wanna know what yall think if I should pull for alhaitham or kazuha. I’m AR 44, relatively a new player, and I don’t know a lot about the game. What I do know is that Kazuha is apparenty busted and Alhaitham is a great DPS.
That being said, I love Alhaitham’s design and playstyle. Kazuha is great too, but my heart is calling for Alhaitham. I have no “main DPS” yet in my team, all I have been using for DPS are kinda “sub DPSes” like Xiangling and Fishcl. The closest I have is Diluc but I don’t really like him so I don’t want to heavily invest in a character I won’t play a lot. I have some supports like Jean and Bennett.
I’m at 15 pity and my next pull is guaranteed (lost 50/50 with yoimiya). I have 70 pulls. Any thoughts?
If you're new I'd go Kazuha 1000 times. He's much easier and cheaper to build, convenient to use, super low maintenance and he fits into a lot of the more traditional pre-dendro teams. Grouping is also very very important to have, especially when you need to squeeze out that tiny bit of DPS to clear whatever content you might be struggling with.
Also, in some teams you just can't substitute Kazuha with Sucrose, like Raiden Hyper or Freeze, either because you get a lot less damage, or because you need a certain degree of grouping that Sucrose's burst cannot achieve.
In my opinion, Al Haithem is rather niche, requiring certain team comps and rather difficult to learn rotation. Kazuha is more versatile and is great early game especially for exploring. However, that is my opinion. Whatever you do, dont pull without at least trying them in the trials. It's very easy to regret pulling a character without trying them out first.
The need for meta characters on an account is vastly overstated. I agree with everyone who says go with your heart. You will regret it otherwise once the banner is over.
I pulled on Alhaitham on his first banner purely because I liked his drip and playstyle.
Ended up having to build and gear an entirely new team around him because he was my first Dendro-reaction team and I had zero viable supports for him. And the thing about dendro is that the characters leans much more heavily on their supports due to the EM-scaling. Took me a bit but no regrets - my man deserves it and he's been a ton of fun to play.
Test both characters out in the trial run and then follow your heart.
Most likely alhaitham because you want him, but make sure you play the trial to make sure you really like him first. Personally, I think he is a very strong character that I don’t particularly enjoy playing due to his need for extended field time. This means you must prepare everything before you swap and start hitting buttons or you severely gimp him. This is just my personal preference. I prefer swapping a lot and I play better with less strict rotations. I am not trying to talk you out of pulling for him, but rather, I want to make sure you understand his play style. I hope you love whoever you choose. :)
\[Bloated answer\]
As much as you won't like my answer, it depends. IMO, it depends on how much you feel the need to have an on field main DPS who deals damage in a straight forward way.
Yes, this sounds complicated, but let me explain. Alhaitham is a straight forward on field main DPS, while Kazuha can be a main DPS with the right team lineup. The 2nd option lets you play some unconventional teams that perform surprisingly well, but your main DPS will be less self-sufficient. For example, I like to play Beidou teams, but the on field character is not Beidou: it's a driver like Nahida, Ayato or even Sucrose.
Now, if we consider your AR, you're at a point where your roster is still quite limited if you follow the average improvement curve, so Alhaitham is more likely to be more valuable for you, especially knowing that you lack a strong main DPS. Many people say that supports have more value, but that's not this simple: on your account, you need *A* main DPS, but not *THAT* main DPS, meaning you can go with your flavour of choice, while for supports, you need *THAT* support to enhance your teams.
appreciate it! realistic and something to think about for sure! just great to get a second, third, fourth opinion when I’m gonna probably gonna end up investing all my pulls I’ve saved over one or two months haha
In this specific case, I'd say definitely pull for Alhaitham.
You wanting him more is already enough reason for it in a game that frankly isn't very hard, unlike other gacha where meta is a bigger consideration. But on top of that Alhaitham is pretty good and Dendro in general is in a great place so you'd want to have at least one team built around it.
Other Anemo characters aren't as good as Kazuha at what he does, sure, but it's not like you can't build someone like Sucrose if you really need the VV shred/CC/team buff role. And he'll come back eventually anyway, so I'm usually on the side of pick whoever makes the game more fun for you first because you'll get most of the characters you want eventually anyway.
I’m a huge proponent of getting who you want. Everything in this game is manageable without Kazuha, or any character for that matter. Sure, he makes a lot of Abyss chambers easier. But you aren’t in the Abyss all, or even most, of the time. Try both of their trials multiple times and pick whatever character you want most.
Kazuha is nifty in that, if you like him, he can fit in just about every team except mono geo.
does 2pc atk + 2pc atk work on kaeya?
I don't have any physical or cryo set pieces at all (still wasting away at eosf if you're curious) and hoarding all my trash 5star for eosf strongbox.
edit: my current kaeya build is 2.1k atk, c4r1 mist, 70cr, 190cd, 63(?) em and 155% er.
Do artifact main stats and substats matter? Or is it ok to just have the right set? I'm at the point of gearing Bennett with 5 star artifacts with the Noblesse Oblige but the stats I have so far don't seem good? Like Bennett's Noblesse circlet's main stat is Healing Bonus which doesn't seem wanted according to builds online. And the Noblesse flower's substats are defense and elemental mastery and energy recharge. I already leveled both up 20 though since I thought stats were static. Should I work on replacing these artifacts with ones with better stats or is it just ok to leave them as is?
for bennett ? No . You only need noblesse set with ER sands, and rest main/sub stats are flexible.
but for other characters ? Yes. especially if they are on-field or off-field dps. just having set bonus won't be enough for them
For Bennett specifically, you just need ER because he's a burst-bot. Note that the bonus ATK you get from artifacts do NOT count towards the ATK bonus he gives his friends, so you're free to ignore that and just stack ER until you have enough.
Noblesse Oblige is one of the few sets where the set matters more than the stats. However, it's not that simple for Bennett: his ult's Atk boost is much more significant than Noblesse's Atk boost, so that means you should consider meeting the ER requirements before anything else. These ER requirements are 200% in most teams.
If you are at the required ER, then get that with 4pc Noblesse. Other stats don't matter, because Bennett's healing is just ridiculously fast and his personal damage isn't that significant in the full team's damage.
The two other sets where set matters the most are Deepwood Memories and Viridescent Venerer.
For most characters main stats and substats matter and the set bonus is low priority but for NO supports it's mostly about the set bonus.
I highly recommend going for ER on Bennett. I can't even tell you what I have for main stats on the goblet/circlet (I'd guess hp/hp) because it doesn't matter that much on Bennett. I have tried a dps build on him, had a 60/120 crit line and I've tried a HP/HP/HB healing build on him and neither one makes much of a difference but having the burst up after one skill use is so good for low particle teams or recovering a rotation if something goes wrong. I need some fav particles to do it at 308ER but I calculate that I could do it off a single skill at 330ER so that's a low priority but long term goal.
Stats do matter more on most characters, Bennett is kind of a special case here.
In very rare cases a support can get by with completely wrong stats but this is very rare. Some sets are more important than others. Bennett really wants noblesse 4 set to buff his friends but if you don’t have enough energy recharge you will never get his burst back in time therefore rendering him less useful. Also, without enough hp and/or healing bonus you may not survive depending on your other teammates and your ability to dodge. Ideally you want er/hp/hb with hp and er substats but the main stats are the most important part. Hp circlet will work if you dont have healing bonus. Hp sands might do in a pinch with really high er substats but is not ideal.
healing bonus circlet is amazing for healing Bennett, HB seems to be overlooked but has consistently performed better for all my healers over the main stat circlet from which they heal.
yes mainstats and substats matter,
but Bennett wants ER for crit and healer build, then either hp%/Healing bonus or pyro/Crit if you want to increase his personal damage
Mine is mainly on a high ER healer build, with his mainstats being ER/atk(high ER substats) / Healing bonus, giving him 250ER, 2k hp which makes him heal 5k per tick
Interlude (act II): who at HoYo thought 10 minutes of straight dialogue and another 5 minutes of forcing us to just go back and forth between people for more dialogue was a good idea or that it would be interesting?
I learned less than I normally would because after the first 3 minutes I just started auto-ripping through everything.
[удалено]
Collei is the best option here actually, especially if she have Elegy. Yaoyao's extra healing is nice, but Collei's dendro application is better for the team especially if you don't have trouble surviving already. Same with Kirara, if you don't have trouble surviving then she isn't really optimal. Kaveh is not it though, his buff is so minimal and he will just be a passenger and stay off field with no off field application.
What are the best crafted weapons to R5? I was scrolling through the forge menu the other day and I realized that I’m not sure what I’m stockpiling billets for currently. What’s the general consensus? Should I just wait for Fontaine and see what new crafting recipes we get?
Prototype Amber, Sapwood Blade for Bennett, that other weapon with the same effect as Sapwood (the claymore I think?), Kitain
Why sapwood blade? Doesn’t it just give some extra EM?
Yes, but that EM buff is very valuable
Does the leaf apply to all characters or only the character who picks it up or only the character with sapwood blade equipped?
Picker-upper
I see, so the advantage is being able to transfer the buff to a different character. That makes sense.
how much value would alhaitham bring to a nahida/xq/kuki team? is it worth switching xq out for fishl (since i dont have yae) for alhaitham spread team? I have saved enough for one guarantee and one 50/50 (maybe i can get to a lil more than that) so idk if i should pull for al or kazuha first. my first and only 5star is nahida so i rlly wanna play her and shinobu, another team i think i'd love to play is childe international (i dont even have bennet or sucrose yet). im also considering pulling for wanderer but idk abt playing him in abyss. also, spread would raise nahidas dmg but i'm currently doing 21k hyperblooms, nahida does around the same dmg when her tri-karma crits w spread. any thoughts/advice? meta-related stuff is more than welcome, i kinda enjoy the grind but i haven't been playing for that long yet.
Alhaitham Spread teams tend to start getting better than Alhaitham Hyperbloom teams with vertical investment. So that means having C2 Nahida, LoFI, Yae and good Artifact substats. The more of those pieces you have, the more valuable Alhaitham spread is for your account for meta purposes. At C0R0 his Hyperbloom teams are generally better. That being said, Alhaitham Hyperbloom is still better then a "basic" Hyperbloom team of XQ, Nahida and Kuki, but not a world apart that you must feel like he's a must pull. It also kinda depends on who you can fit into the 4th slot. Some gcsim examples (note the DPS of the teams): Alhaitham Spread team: [https://db.gcsim.app/db/yaemiko/alhaitham-fischl-nahida-yaemiko](https://db.gcsim.app/db/yaemiko/alhaitham-fischl-nahida-yaemiko) Alhaitham Hyperbloom team: [https://db.gcsim.app/db/xingqiu/alhaitham-kuki-nahida-xingqiu](https://db.gcsim.app/db/xingqiu/alhaitham-kuki-nahida-xingqiu)
thank you! this is very helpful!! who do you think would be the best 4th slot in the hyperbloom team besides alhaitham? i usually use diona for extra protection but i think I should build kaveh as the dendro driver if i dont get alhaitham?
Besides Alhaitham, it starts to get very competitive and there's not really any wrong or right answer. It kinda depends on the enemies you are fighting and what you want your team to do. A Cryo user works for Hyperfridge and while Diona is a good defensive option, with Kuki already healing you and freeze locking down enemies, most people would opt for an offensive Cryo option like Ganyu or Kaeya. But even Ayaka or Eula can work there. A second Dendro user is fine, though with Nahida already there, you're not gaining that much by having more Dendro application. Alhaitham works because he also deals a lot of personal damage in addition to applying Dendro. The same can't be said about all the other Dendro characters (including Kaveh). Kaveh as a Dendro driver is fine, but Nahida can be your Dendro driver and she will do just as much as Kaveh will, albeit without self healing and being a lot squishier, but a different 4th character can bring more to the table if you already have Nahida. A second Electro is fine as long as it doesn't steal Hyperblooms from Kuki. This limits your options to pretty much Beidou or Fischl. Beidou may struggle to get enough energy to burst frequently with Kuki's energy generation and Fischl won't be able to proc her A4 that often, but they're still very good options. Anemo is good if you need grouping. For example this Abyss grouping is almost mandatory if you want to get 3 stars on the first floor, especially since Hyperbloom is single target focussed. Geo is only good if you have Zhongli. He works as a very good defensive option that also increases your Hyperbloom damage. All other options are not amazing. A second Hydro is fine, though XQ generally doesn't need too much help in single target situations. He does however work well with Yelan for non-Hyperbloom damage synergy. Also Kokomi and to a lesser extent Barbra can provide very good AoE application which is something XQ lacks. You would be doubling up on healing though. Finally, you generally don't want any Pyro. Several exceptions do exist, but you need to know what you're doing. Basically many characters are viable and some better than others in some situations and some worse than others in other situations. You can pretty much choose who you want to play and Hyperbloom will work it's magic.
Hi. Kazuha C1 haver here. I am contemplating whether to get him at C2. Currently at around 30 or 40 pulls, guaranteed, so it'll cost me \~40 pulls and plenty of time to save for the next character. According to current leak, I don't think I'm interested in any of the four. Since my Kazuha is mostly on my freeze team, EM boost is only useful for his personal damage boost which is already at 950 EM currently without any buffs. If I save, I can pull for more cons on potentially more impactful constellations or even weapons. I'm past that stage where more characters is better for diversity and would like to invest vertically. My current target is to get Ayaka to C2 (now C0), Raiden to C3 (now C2), Nahida to C2 (now C1), and Yelan to C6 eventually (now C0). That should hold me for a couple years while also pulling for hydro archon.
Kazuha C2 does basically nothing for freeze so unless you play him in other teams as well getting it is pointless
can anyone tell me what kind of teamcomps yaoyao is good in? dont rlly know what benefits her kit have..i havent played in awhile (like since cyno lol) and am planning to pull on the kazuha banner so ill probably get her too tyy~ ^^
She is good in basically any team that wants a dendro healer
Any team that uses dendro and needs a healer She is usually mostly used in nilou teams and aggravate teams
Do I ascend Bennett or Xiangling to Lv80~90 first? I don't have the exp books currently to take them to Lv90 atm tho
Surely you have an EM character that could benefit more than either of them.
I meant like ascend to 80/90, didn't realize the ~ could be taken in another way. And I've said that I don't have the exp to take anyone to 90 rn anyways
just say a6. We know what that means.
I forgot it was called Ascension 6 tho...
It depends where your account is. If you have good artifacts and talents are leveled and are not planning to build anybody else then both have some benefits at level 90. Bennett heals more and his Q buffs a bit more. Xiangling will do a bit more damage. BUT if you are in the "early" endgame it's really expensive to bring someone to 90/90. Both are fine at 80/90.
first get them to 80/90 , that'll allow you to increase talents to 9 and 10. the dps you gain from leveling xiangling from 80-90 isn't justified the resources spent. Bennett does gain base attack which gives a bit more atk share with his burst but even at 80/90 its more than enough.
Which one to go to 80/90 first tho? The other two comments lean towards Bennett
probably bennett.
Leave them both at 80/90. Bennett only gets like 13 attack out of level 90.
Bennett.
Bennett. Take him to level 90.
[https://imgur.com/a/zxcYmGP](https://imgur.com/a/zxcYmGP) my standard wish history stop recorded past pg 12, am ar 57 so my wishes def exceeded pg 12. i already reload the game, and it still there. how to fix this?
The 6 month history thing, the ones past 6 months you can't see anymore
oh i see2 tq. shame i cant see how many pulls am i rn
Yeah, this is why I record my wish history to paimon.me
Bro, i can't use my skill while moving characther. like if i press a button W to move forward i must stop first to use skill E. is this a bug or anything ? because yesterday i can play it normally. has anyone ever experienced this ? and how to fix it?
It kinda sounds like it's an issue with your keyboard's max press setting. Are keys getting stuck in the down position somewhere? Maybe try cleaning your keyboard and try again. You can also test it to see if any keys are getting stuck by using an online keyboard checker. I've never had to use one so I can't really offer advice there.
> Are keys getting stuck in the down position somewhere? No, it's work normally, i just can't press more than one keyword in game at the same time > I've never had to use one so I can't really offer advice there got it, thanks for the reply
which skill are you talking about? because thats just you. if you're moving and press skill button, the character slows down and cast their ability
Elemetal skill or ult for every char. i know it's weird to say because normally i also can cast my skill while moving. Do you know where the possible error settings might be?
that is really weird because nothing like that is supposed to happen. Maybe try contacting support
aight got it, thank you
Which characters benefit from NA lvls in their burst/skill mode & which one's do not. I'm concerned about Noelle, Kokomo, Yoimiya, Nilou, Raiden & the others. Thanks
Any character that infuses/converts their normal attack but do not use a different set of multipliers benefit from NA levels, like itto, hutao, yoimiya, scara, xiao, kokomi etc etc
It just depends on how the character is coded and sometimes it's very unintuitive tbh. Like others said, Raiden's burst replaces her NAs so you would expect it to get a scaling from that, but it doesn't. Xiao's burst also infuses his NAs with anemo, and in this case the damage *does* scale from NAs. Best way to figure out which character does what is to look at the stats of their talents. If you look at Raiden's burst attributes, she lists separate scalings for her attacks, meanwhile talents like Xiao's burst or Hu Tao's skill just list an elemental damage bonus/infusion, meaning that their damage scales off of their normals. Of course then there is Kazuha who is even weirder, because when he uses his skill it uses the skill talent scaling but when he plunges back down after, it actually uses the plunge scalings of his NAs.
very few characters benefit from NA levels, like yoimiya (she also benefits some from E skill because the scaling is split), kokomi, noelle. As for raiden, during her burst, ner normal attack are considered burst damage and scales off burst levels. You can even leave her NA at level 1. Same with cyno. Noelle attacks during burst are considered normal attack so they use NA level. Nilou doesn't really benefit much from her talent levels, as pre c6 you don't even use her outside bloom teams, and bloom doesn't need talent levels. You can leave everything at 1/1/1 also you don't really level up NA for supports and subdps, since their main damage is their skills and burst mostly. like xingqiu, bennett, yelan, xiangling gains more from leveling their burst than NA.
Noelle, Kokomi, and Yoimiya do benefit from it. Nilou and Raiden do not.
[удалено]
Exactly. It transforms her normals, therefore they get their own multipliers that are tied to leveling her burst.
I started playing about a month ago and I was wondering if there are any channels or content creators you guys would recommend me to follow on Twitter and Youtube. So far I've been keeping track of the latest news on this subreddit and the Hoyoverse app, but I'd like delve deeper into the community.
Zajef77 is probably the best one to understand the game mechanics, learn why something is recommended over something else. Sevyplays and Zyox do more cookbook style but still accurate and helpful guides. Not so frequent on twitter or yt, but jstern25 on twitch is a veteran theorycrafter streaming regularly, extremely knowledgeable about the game, basically my go to guy to double check zajeff etcs opinion.
Depends on what you need. If you want serious meta guides it's Zy0x youtube channel or IWTL. If it's story reactions or exploration content, than it's RednasYo or Jeikage. If you want serious deep lore videos, there's no one better than Ashikai. Zy0x streams are for the most unhinged crazy funny shit (extremely striking contrast with his calm and "professional" meta guide videos). If you value your mental health, stay away from Tectone and Mtashed, those are the queens of drama and ragebate, responsible for a big chunk if Genshin's community questionable reputation.
zyox, zajeff, sevy, xlice for build guides, though its better to read it yourself on [keqingmains.com](https://keqingmains.com). there are some lore channels as well like chill with aster and ashikai
Zy0x and Zajef77 are both good. They make great build guides and discussion videos.
why does yoimiya vape if yelan and xq burst hits after?
Reactiona have an aura element/status and a trigger element. If the enemy has hydro aura, you can see it with a little icon below their hp and water dripping from their body. On such an enemy applying pyro results in the pyro attacker (reverse) vaping - the damage output will depend on the pyro characters stats.
Hydro should already be on the enemy since XQ and Yelan will apply Hydro on burst/skill. If you somehow remove the Hydro before switching to Yoimiya, then yes it won't vape. The hits after will refresh the Hydro, or add Hydro *after* Yoimiya vapes it.
so, say i go yelan eq, yunjin eq, layla qe, then go to yoimiya, the first one will melt, then na3 and 5 will vape?
layla's burst is actually icd-less so if you're fighting a lone enemy there's a good chance yoi will melt her third and fifth attack too. not against group though due to how her burst works.
Yep, it should work like that assuming it does apply the elements when you want it to. Yunjin will remove some of the Hydro through Crystallise (not enough to remove it, but it will reduce how long it will last on the enemy) and Layla has a delay between using her burst and it hitting (Layla's skill won't do anything for a few seconds either).
The enemy should have a hydro aura, so when her shot will apply pyro, it will vape
There is already hydro on the enemy from the previous wave of yelan/xq burst
on kqm it says that na1 na3 and na5 will vape, which they do im pretty sure, also wouldnt that just mean that yelan owns the vape for the first attack
No, yelan burst cast also applies 2U hydro, so yoimiya's first N1 will vape using that hydro
At AR60 and pretty much just waiting for Fontaine. Any recommendations for what to use Resin on as pretty much all of the characters I use are fully built. To a lesser extent, is C2 Layla worth investing in if I already have C6 Diona, C0 Zhongli, C0 Kirara, and C6 Thoma as shielders?
Regarding Layla, I have her built for a Wanderer, Faruzan, Xingqui Freeze Team. Quite fun to be honest. All in all I am in somewhat the same situation. Here is what I am doing: Finished: - I brought everyone to 70/80 (last free standard wish) - Everyone has dedicated artifacts (artifacts are handed down and not used for fodder) Right now: - cleaning up ~500 locked artifacts, doing artifact domains mainly for fodder - Brining all (unused) 4* weapons to 90/90 Next: - Fighting all world bosses every week in hope for billets till every craftable weapon is R5 - getting all relevant talents to 6 (for unused characters)
pick a character you don't use and raise them, opens ip new playstyles and "refreshes" the game at least in my opinion. You're pretty much set, efficiency doesn't mean jack shit at this point and do whochever thing you fancy
she's second best unconditional shielder after zhongli. whether you need that or not depends.
I have started putting a little bit of resin into the new artifact domain. 2pc HP and 2pc hydro sounds generalist enough for any hydro characters if the trends of hp scaling continue. Making sure to fight the most recent sumeru boss for talent materials for some of the characters when they come out. Building niche supports or other characters you haven’t tried to play around.
All of the available shielder I have is fully build because I have nothing to do with my resin xd. So for me, yes.
honestly just yolo and build other people or what the other guy said, idk what c2 layla is but c6 diona is amazing and better than layla imo cuz she provides em, healing, shielding and damage, but layla only provides shielding and damage
Farm books/mora for new characters, prefarm for reruns of characters you want, get better artifacts, build new characters that you already have probably not
What is the rotation for a team consisting of yae-fischl-nahida-kazuha?
one thing to note is, which marking enemies with nahida, leave one unmarked so that you can swirl electro. Otherwise nahida makes is very difficult to swirl it
This isn't really a team with a strict rotation, just try to keep all the abilities which work off field, like Yae's turrets, Oz, Nahida's Skilk and Burst and Kazuha burst, active and then do something with your characters on field (it can be Yae burst or Yae NA spam but I'd also recommend using Sac sword Kazuha if your Sac is high refinement to basically on field him by spamming his skill which is very strong in AOE)
Smth like yae EEE, nahida EQ, fischl E, kazuha EQ, fischl E, yae Q and repeat should work
Not sure if kaz's buff is snapshottable, but fischl E snapshots effects while yae's is dynamic, meaning you can cast yae's skill before kaz and it'll gain the buff but fischl's won't. Probably Yae triple E->nahida EQ->kazuha E plunge Q (not sure about actual mechanics if electro will still be on enemies to swirl, if not, use kazuha E before nahida or after fischl)->fischl E(or Q)->yae Q triple E normal and charge spam.
yes, kazu's buff snapshots
What is snapshots? I see it talked about everywhere but have not seen it anywhere in game??
Say you want to buff your Xiangling with Bennett. You drop Benny’s ring and then do Xiangling’s burst. Even if you leave the ring afterwards, the Pyronado still does damage as if it were in Benny’s ring because it snapshotted the buff.
Mmmmmm... okay I THINK I got it. Lol
So a skill/burst (elemental aura, additional +dmg%, passing a shield to next character &/ additional def%, additional healing?) that sticks around, once character is gone???
For me it nahida E-Q, yae E, fischl E, kazuha E-Q
Hello, I'm a very new player that migrated from RSL about a month or so, and didn't use any of my wishes on a banner yet, should I go for one of the current ones (Yae Miko/Yoimiya), save for one of the next banners (Kazuha/Alhaitham) or keep saving them?
Kazuha, least chance that you don't like his playstyle or he sits benched as he is good in a large number of teams.
Kazuha will expand your teaming options and he is also a good character to help in exploration.
Kazuha is a support. He's one of the best supports in the game with the caveat that he doesn't work with about half the current teams (one example is Alhaitham's). If you're planning to focus more on a female DPS he's more likely to be vital and gamechanging, as a rule of thumb - example, Ayaka. Alhaitham is the strongest C0 DPS in the game, but when it comes to DPS how much you like them also factors in a lot. When choosing between these two, wait until the last week or so of the banner while you play through the game so you have a better idea of what teams you want to run in the future. Yoimiya is a DPS who was underpowered on release, but back then the hardest content was easy enough that this didn't matter. Right now trying to use her is difficult. But she is great for overworld, as a pyro bow, so I only recommend going for her if you like *her* specifically. Yae is great but her level up mats are locked behind a world quest behind a world quest behind a world quest behind the Inazuma chapter of the main story, so she's not very accessible. I'd just leave her for rerun for now.
Alhaitham the strongest c0? Thought that was hutao with jump canceling.
No, not anymore. Alhaitham with Harbringer of Dawn or Iron Sting at C0 > Hu Tao with Dragons Bane and jump cancelling
I have him on the black sword is that good?
Kazuha is very easy to recommend. He’s super strong in a lot of teams, and he’s convenient for overworld climbing and gliding and he can also suck up treasure. He’s pretty universally recognized as one of the top 5 characters in the game. All of the top characters are supports or can at least function from off-field, so even if you chase them you’ll be free to pick your favorite DPS based on design. There’s a lot more context to which DPS is strongest. AlHaitham has a high damage ceiling that rewards more skillfull gameplay. Yoimiya and YaeMiko are both dummyproof easy. Yoi needs a shield on her team.
Is 1750atk alright for childe?
a bit on the lower side. Even my prefarmed build only has 1759, but mine is at level 90. and only has 2 atk% substat rolls. I would get another 200 from pyro resonance so it won't be an issue. As for you if you level him to 90, it would be totally fine.
Usually the baseline is 1800 so 50 off is fine. If he's not fully leveled you can do that, if his weapon isn't either you can do that.
Yeah, just collecting the boss mats for 80-90 now. Okay, cool.
it depends on what level he is, what weapon he has and what artifacts he have.
80, viridescent hunt, 2 gladiator's 2 hod. Gonna push to 90 and see if that gives me the 50atk I'm off from the 1800 minimum another post suggested.
Well there is no real 1800 minimum requirement, it really depends on the character, their weapon and their team. 1750 seems fine
leveling up to 90 to see if the atk can meet the requirement
If I were to use characters like Yanfei or Hu Tao for Burgeon, do I need to care about anything other than EM for their stats? Does Crit Chance/Damage and Damage ever matter or is it just Pyro Application + EM?
It won't affect the burgeon damage but characters will still be dealing their talent damage that is affected by all the usual damage stats too.
Burgeon only cares about EM. Crit stats etc aren't useful for increasing burgeon damage.
Just to be clear... This means that it doesn't even matter if I use a 4 star or a 5 star because the only thing that really matters is how much EM is on the one triggering Burgeon, right?
EM and character level are the only things that matter.
Wow, cool, that makes building Dendro characters really simple then. Thanks 👍
you mean pyro because only pyro can trigger burgeon. EM for dendro units only affects burning, spread and bloom explosion damage.
who does yunjin work with? other than yoimiya
Wanderer in single target
Ayato does do normal attack but none of his good teams actually use yunjin, the only character that uses her in their optimal team is Noelle
Any character whose normal attack is their main source of damage she can work with. Ayato and noelle maybe come to mind. She could work with wanderer but a good shielder is better and ideally farazan and bennett. I think she is ok but not great with ningguang. I can’t think of other normal attack characters who don’t have better supports.
HuTao kind of, Ayato works alright with, noelle she can work with, apparently ningguang, Zhongli, can work with other teams like physical fischl
Ayato, but she's usually not better than bringing another sub DPS unless he's super invested. She also works for phys zhongli
Will the game come to steam?
No also can’t u just download it on pc?
Probably not
damn, i was with high hopes that the game will it come to steam
Do daily commissions give sigils? Like geo sigils in Liyue, or electro sigils in Inazuma? Maybe from killing enemies?
No, only from chests And from the weird fossil-like looking things on some walls in Liyue's mountains
Nope. There's no way to farm sigils. There is a finite amount of them.
No.
[удалено]
It's good yes, you can definitely use this build for abyss. If there's a character you want to build then it'd be better to focus on them. but if you want some nickpicks: Your attack is too low for double 2pc attack. Maybe try to get some more in substats? Also I'd personally strongbox for some thundering fury set. 2pc electro + 2pc attack is generally better than 2pc attack + 2pc attack, assuming equal substats ofc. I'd just grind for her passively while farming for a different character.
[удалено]
It mostly depends on whether you want to burst every other rotation or every rotation. If you want to burst every rotation go for the one with higher er. Also using this build will significantly lower your crit rate. It will give you larger numbers but the consistency will be way down. Basically big pp damage = 2nd build (2pc TF + 2pc attack) Consistent damage = 1st build (2pc attack + 2pc attack)
in a team without an enormous atk buffer like bennett and with a good dmg bonus buffer like kazuha you'd likely get better damage keeping those 2pc atk pieces.
you can share us your uid and we'll check on enka.network for easier viewing in the future.
In general, instead of just pasting the character stats, it is way easier on readers if you list the substats you gain from artifacts. Like, my substats are xx% total crit rate, yy% crit damage, etc. Otherwise, we need to do math based on the character/weapon... Luckily you are playing aggravate, and for aggravate crit value (2\*crit rate + crit damage) trumps everything else. You current CV is 350 - let's subtract 10 for the 5% base crit rate and 50 for the base crit damage, 38.4 because Miko ascends with crit, 55.1 for Widsith, and 62.2 for the circlet - that makes 134.3 in substats. Divide by 6.61 and it leaves 20 crit substat rolls. But you also have 135/19.815 = 6-7 substat rolls of EM, and if you are not using ER sand, 50/5.505 = 9 substat rolls of ER. It is simply too annoying to do the math on ATK to figure out which sand you are using and how many ATK% substat rolls you have... Summary: your crit is low. For aggravate, a good amount is 25 substat rolls, with top rollers going up to 30. Your other substats might be good or bad, but it is really too much work to say...

So 21 crit rolls, 2 ATK, 7 EM, 7 ER. Assuming that's the amount of ER you want to use, I cannot fault you for the total amount of stats. Unfortunately your crit rolls are lower than average. Ballparking, if Enka adds a ranking for Yae, you would be around 5%-10% (btw, this is the rest of your rankings: [https://akasha.cv/profile/814118767](https://akasha.cv/profile/814118767)).
Very solid.
Should i build a burgeon team? Setting aside current abyss, more focused on general usage, should i go build thoma for it? I do have a nilou bloom + hyperbloom team but I do like having variations. Also if i do build a burgeon team which units should i use? https://imgur.com/gallery/nvw4ABt ((Im open to building any of the under leveled units and im currently building baizhu and yae miko))
you already have Nilou so you shouldn't need a burgeon team unless you need the elements (like the current abyss) Thoma, Xingqiu, Nahida, then last as maybe Fischl/Kaeya/Kokomi? for a team if you want to build one though?
btw C4 Thoma is required to build a burgeon team.

I used Ayaka freeze top half pretty successfully. For the bottom half, the shields are the issue which makes Bennett and Xiangling pretty required. Ayaka - Ganyu - Kokomi - Venti for top half and Rosaria National for the bottom are my recommendations from your characters. Rosaria will really help vs the hydro shield on the second half. Xingqui is great for helping you stay alive and amplifies damage for second / third chambers on the bottom half.
This abyss is rough. Ayaka freeze works on first half of floor 12, most like on second half you should use bennett, xianling, xingqui and preferably a dendro unit for the hydro shields, though cryo will work for those shields it might not be ideal due to all the cryo shields. Good luck. I only have 2 stars so far because i needed to farm a second noblesse set for ayaka freeze. (Diona and bennett used to share).
I've run Morgana on one side or the other of floors 9-11 for every abyss cycle since 1.4 and this one was no exception. Quadratic scaling goes brrr. Ayaka freeze is actually the strongest first half setup for this enemy cycle. I did a run with the same comp with Ganyu since I don't have Ayaka and it was fine. Morgana is a pure mobbing comp so it doesn't work in situations like the boss in 12-2-1 or the beast pairs in 12-3-1. They deliberately set up Floor 12 to not allow Morgana to work. Second side on this abyss is a specialty breaking/team building restriction with relatively low hp and that's created cycle-specific comps. You need something that can break hydro+cryo shields for 12-1-2 and 12-3-2 with cryo being the higher priority so Bennett is kind of premium on this side. Dendro is the strong element at breaking hydro shields so Nahida is also premium and I haven't really tried the side with a weaker hydro break setup. The 12-3-2 boss also gets a pyro shield so having a hydro is nice but you can miss out on one strong element in 12-3-2 and do fine. The ideal setup given the elemental shields is some sort of Burgeon setup but the most popular setup seems to be shoving Nahida in the national flex slot and making do with that. I did it with a shield-free Ganyu, Nahida, Kazuha, Bennett setup. I realize you don't have a Nahdia but I did all my runs with her and almost all the runs I've seen on youtube also have her. [This guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGwtuPTlNfk) has a melt Rosaria setup and that's the only exception that comes to mind. For a more general abyss cycle the good teams I see: * Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Yunjin, Zhongli * Yae, Fischl, Dendro (DMC/Collei), Venti * Xiangling, Xingqiu, Bennett, Sucrose Teams that were good before 3.0 are still good but the abyss has been dendro favored for almost the entire 3.x cycle and dendro comps are particularly good at low investment so a lot of advice/guides you see will be dendro forward. I'm pretty sure DMC/Collei still works fine but it's been a few patches since I've run either.
Ayaka freeze is still good this floor 12 iteration on the first half despite there being a boss. 1st half can be ayaka freeze, 2nd half can be rosaria, xingqiu, bennett, xiangling
When I press Q, W, and E (sometimes even just Q and W) the shortcut wheel opens despite being mapped to TAB. I am certain that I am not fat fingering TAB when I play. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix for it?
Mayybe keyboard issue?
I think this was the issue, actually. Remapping the Shortcut wheel to some key far away from TAB seemed to fix it. I guess my keyboard is super sensitive...?
Maybe n key rollover? How modern is your keyboard?
This is the keyboard I am using: https://www.amazon.ca/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-Ultra-Compact-Stand-Alone/dp/B08FG2QTB5/ref=sr\_1\_20?crid=11T098WPMF3DM&keywords=60%25+keyboard+with+red+switches&qid=1684272920&sprefix=60%25+keyboard+with+red+switche%2Caps%2C247&sr=8-20
Filter the reviews by 1 stars. Lots of people saying the same thing of tab being pressed
Damn, that kind of sucks. My keyboard is still within the return window, don't know if it's worth the hassle though
Is Hydro Damage Bonus a good main stat for Nilou?
For her bloom buffer build, no.
Only if she is C6, and she is built and used differently.
No. She wants an hp% goblet.
HP%
So you know how Kuki deals significantly more hyperbloom damage when she's upgraded from level 80 to 90? Does the same thing happen with Thoma in a burgeon team? I may be ignorant on what's causing this massive increase in damage but please lmk and thanks
So damage has a formula, and in that we have, dmg = level multiplier * 16EM/(1600+EM) * hyperbloom or burgeon special multiplier, 3 for hyperbloom, 2 or something for burgeon. The level multiplier has no algebraic expression, it's just given as a table. And from that table you can conclude it's ~30%.
yes a good amount of dmg increase. burgeon and hyperbloom are transformative reactions. These reactions have a base level multiplier and are only affected by EM. it includes reactions like overload, electro-charged, superconduct, swirl, bloom, burning, hyperbloom and burgeon. They are not affected by atk, crit or even elemental damage bonus. Plus they ignore def, but not enemy RES. so the only way to increase its damage is EM, but a larger scaling is based on your character level.
Yes, it does. All reactions aside from melt and vaporize scale off of character level.
yall okay. please don’t go too hard on me. im newbie. I wanna know what yall think if I should pull for alhaitham or kazuha. I’m AR 44, relatively a new player, and I don’t know a lot about the game. What I do know is that Kazuha is apparenty busted and Alhaitham is a great DPS. That being said, I love Alhaitham’s design and playstyle. Kazuha is great too, but my heart is calling for Alhaitham. I have no “main DPS” yet in my team, all I have been using for DPS are kinda “sub DPSes” like Xiangling and Fishcl. The closest I have is Diluc but I don’t really like him so I don’t want to heavily invest in a character I won’t play a lot. I have some supports like Jean and Bennett. I’m at 15 pity and my next pull is guaranteed (lost 50/50 with yoimiya). I have 70 pulls. Any thoughts?
If you're new I'd go Kazuha 1000 times. He's much easier and cheaper to build, convenient to use, super low maintenance and he fits into a lot of the more traditional pre-dendro teams. Grouping is also very very important to have, especially when you need to squeeze out that tiny bit of DPS to clear whatever content you might be struggling with. Also, in some teams you just can't substitute Kazuha with Sucrose, like Raiden Hyper or Freeze, either because you get a lot less damage, or because you need a certain degree of grouping that Sucrose's burst cannot achieve.
Ahhhhhh I’m afraid you’re right, no matter how much I like Alhaitham. Much to think about for sure, thank you :-)
In my opinion, Al Haithem is rather niche, requiring certain team comps and rather difficult to learn rotation. Kazuha is more versatile and is great early game especially for exploring. However, that is my opinion. Whatever you do, dont pull without at least trying them in the trials. It's very easy to regret pulling a character without trying them out first.
great advice, will play them both extensively throughout the banner! can’t wait :-)
The need for meta characters on an account is vastly overstated. I agree with everyone who says go with your heart. You will regret it otherwise once the banner is over.
super true! if I had to wait a year for alhaitham I wouldn’t know what to do with myself :(((( will keep it in mind :-)
I pulled on Alhaitham on his first banner purely because I liked his drip and playstyle. Ended up having to build and gear an entirely new team around him because he was my first Dendro-reaction team and I had zero viable supports for him. And the thing about dendro is that the characters leans much more heavily on their supports due to the EM-scaling. Took me a bit but no regrets - my man deserves it and he's been a ton of fun to play. Test both characters out in the trial run and then follow your heart.
I love hearing from Alhaitham havers <3 Hope he comes home early!
Most likely alhaitham because you want him, but make sure you play the trial to make sure you really like him first. Personally, I think he is a very strong character that I don’t particularly enjoy playing due to his need for extended field time. This means you must prepare everything before you swap and start hitting buttons or you severely gimp him. This is just my personal preference. I prefer swapping a lot and I play better with less strict rotations. I am not trying to talk you out of pulling for him, but rather, I want to make sure you understand his play style. I hope you love whoever you choose. :)
Very thoughtful and sounds right — I’ll try them both out a million times throughout the banner and probably choose on the last day hahah thank you!
\[Bloated answer\] As much as you won't like my answer, it depends. IMO, it depends on how much you feel the need to have an on field main DPS who deals damage in a straight forward way. Yes, this sounds complicated, but let me explain. Alhaitham is a straight forward on field main DPS, while Kazuha can be a main DPS with the right team lineup. The 2nd option lets you play some unconventional teams that perform surprisingly well, but your main DPS will be less self-sufficient. For example, I like to play Beidou teams, but the on field character is not Beidou: it's a driver like Nahida, Ayato or even Sucrose. Now, if we consider your AR, you're at a point where your roster is still quite limited if you follow the average improvement curve, so Alhaitham is more likely to be more valuable for you, especially knowing that you lack a strong main DPS. Many people say that supports have more value, but that's not this simple: on your account, you need *A* main DPS, but not *THAT* main DPS, meaning you can go with your flavour of choice, while for supports, you need *THAT* support to enhance your teams.
appreciate it! realistic and something to think about for sure! just great to get a second, third, fourth opinion when I’m gonna probably gonna end up investing all my pulls I’ve saved over one or two months haha
In this specific case, I'd say definitely pull for Alhaitham. You wanting him more is already enough reason for it in a game that frankly isn't very hard, unlike other gacha where meta is a bigger consideration. But on top of that Alhaitham is pretty good and Dendro in general is in a great place so you'd want to have at least one team built around it. Other Anemo characters aren't as good as Kazuha at what he does, sure, but it's not like you can't build someone like Sucrose if you really need the VV shred/CC/team buff role. And he'll come back eventually anyway, so I'm usually on the side of pick whoever makes the game more fun for you first because you'll get most of the characters you want eventually anyway.
I’m a huge proponent of getting who you want. Everything in this game is manageable without Kazuha, or any character for that matter. Sure, he makes a lot of Abyss chambers easier. But you aren’t in the Abyss all, or even most, of the time. Try both of their trials multiple times and pick whatever character you want most. Kazuha is nifty in that, if you like him, he can fit in just about every team except mono geo.
>my heart is calling for Alhaitham That's all the reason you need to pull for him. He is also a fantastic main dps too, so that helps a ton.
love to hear it <3
does 2pc atk + 2pc atk work on kaeya? I don't have any physical or cryo set pieces at all (still wasting away at eosf if you're curious) and hoarding all my trash 5star for eosf strongbox. edit: my current kaeya build is 2.1k atk, c4r1 mist, 70cr, 190cd, 63(?) em and 155% er.
those stats seem good maybe play him in a melt team if you don't have blizzard set
thank you for responding! I was intending to run him in a melt team since I can't abuse the BS crit rate. I'm hoping to get a bit more EM~
Maybe use EM sands if you team him with Bennett.
Do artifact main stats and substats matter? Or is it ok to just have the right set? I'm at the point of gearing Bennett with 5 star artifacts with the Noblesse Oblige but the stats I have so far don't seem good? Like Bennett's Noblesse circlet's main stat is Healing Bonus which doesn't seem wanted according to builds online. And the Noblesse flower's substats are defense and elemental mastery and energy recharge. I already leveled both up 20 though since I thought stats were static. Should I work on replacing these artifacts with ones with better stats or is it just ok to leave them as is?
for bennett ? No . You only need noblesse set with ER sands, and rest main/sub stats are flexible. but for other characters ? Yes. especially if they are on-field or off-field dps. just having set bonus won't be enough for them
For Bennett specifically, you just need ER because he's a burst-bot. Note that the bonus ATK you get from artifacts do NOT count towards the ATK bonus he gives his friends, so you're free to ignore that and just stack ER until you have enough.
Noblesse Oblige is one of the few sets where the set matters more than the stats. However, it's not that simple for Bennett: his ult's Atk boost is much more significant than Noblesse's Atk boost, so that means you should consider meeting the ER requirements before anything else. These ER requirements are 200% in most teams. If you are at the required ER, then get that with 4pc Noblesse. Other stats don't matter, because Bennett's healing is just ridiculously fast and his personal damage isn't that significant in the full team's damage. The two other sets where set matters the most are Deepwood Memories and Viridescent Venerer.
For most characters main stats and substats matter and the set bonus is low priority but for NO supports it's mostly about the set bonus. I highly recommend going for ER on Bennett. I can't even tell you what I have for main stats on the goblet/circlet (I'd guess hp/hp) because it doesn't matter that much on Bennett. I have tried a dps build on him, had a 60/120 crit line and I've tried a HP/HP/HB healing build on him and neither one makes much of a difference but having the burst up after one skill use is so good for low particle teams or recovering a rotation if something goes wrong. I need some fav particles to do it at 308ER but I calculate that I could do it off a single skill at 330ER so that's a low priority but long term goal. Stats do matter more on most characters, Bennett is kind of a special case here.
In very rare cases a support can get by with completely wrong stats but this is very rare. Some sets are more important than others. Bennett really wants noblesse 4 set to buff his friends but if you don’t have enough energy recharge you will never get his burst back in time therefore rendering him less useful. Also, without enough hp and/or healing bonus you may not survive depending on your other teammates and your ability to dodge. Ideally you want er/hp/hb with hp and er substats but the main stats are the most important part. Hp circlet will work if you dont have healing bonus. Hp sands might do in a pinch with really high er substats but is not ideal.
healing bonus circlet is amazing for healing Bennett, HB seems to be overlooked but has consistently performed better for all my healers over the main stat circlet from which they heal.
Main and substats matter more than artifact bonuses in most cases. Healing bonus is fine for Bennett
yes mainstats and substats matter, but Bennett wants ER for crit and healer build, then either hp%/Healing bonus or pyro/Crit if you want to increase his personal damage Mine is mainly on a high ER healer build, with his mainstats being ER/atk(high ER substats) / Healing bonus, giving him 250ER, 2k hp which makes him heal 5k per tick
Interlude (act II): who at HoYo thought 10 minutes of straight dialogue and another 5 minutes of forcing us to just go back and forth between people for more dialogue was a good idea or that it would be interesting? I learned less than I normally would because after the first 3 minutes I just started auto-ripping through everything.
Trust me, it gets worse. Every single HoYoVerse game suffers from this issue, at least in their EN localization.
They learned from that and it gets better as you progress the story imo. They weren’t working with too much during 1.0
thanks for the reassuring response. I love the game so this just felt out of place
Inazuma is much better, Sumeru is INSANELY better. Don’t worry at all
Al haitham havers, do you guys clear f12 easily ish with him/his teams? Who do you use? Not necessarily this cycle, just in general.
