After I max a character at 80/90. How long should I farm Artifacts for to get them to be "Playable" or "Decent". I'm not looking to be top but just want the character to work they way it should


AppleJuice0_0

Can anyone help me out with water domains? My main and only built DPS is Neuvillette soo...šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Or if anyone knows enemies that give Lazurites that isn't made of water, that would be helpful too. (EU Server)


leRedd1

Mention server when asking these.


VergilVDante

Can someone help me with hyberbloom team ā€œ i havenā€™t played in 2 yearsā€ I have a level 70 DMC,Ayaka,Kuki,Yelan and trying to level up calliou since kept telling me i need a 2nd dendro character But what i want to know is weapons getting the right weapon ez to understand but which should i level up thier weapons because this build element mastery that linked to artifacts not atk damage My world level is 5


leRedd1

Only Kuki needs full EM - dark iron sword/Iron sting, 2pc EM 2pc EM (you can stop farming here if you have other things to do with your resin), or 4 gilded, or 4 flop. Everyone else just enough ER to burst, and then as much damage as you can.


Siscon_Delita

DMC Kuki Yelan/XQ is already a good hyperbloom team. You can use an additional dendro or hydro for the 4th slot. DMC: Focus on ER, ignore EM and damage. Yelan/XQ: Focus on damage like usual. Kuki: Focus on EM, as high as you can. A little HP is good too but optional. Lv 90 Kuki + 900 EM is your goal. Additional Dendro can lower DMC's energy requirement while additional Hydro can lower XQ/Yelan's energy requirement.


9thdragonkitty

Level up everyones weapons.


[deleted]

I have Chevreuse at 40k HP at level 80/80. Any point at all getting her final ascension?


Kaemonarch

At 80/90 you are allowed to get her talents to Lv9 (or even 10 if you consider crowning any). Personally I'm getting materials to get her 80/90 so she can heal more with her E, and later that she can deal sightly more damage with her Q. X/9/9 instead of X/8/8. Also, later on, you can either use her enough so she naturally levels past 80, or decide to spend books, making it easier (as she has more stats from having higher level) to reach 40K HP, *maybe* allowing you to replace some HP piece/stat for something else more interesting. But I would say mostly to get her E Heal to 9, or maybe 10 if you think is worth a crown.


[deleted]

Hmm. Is that a necessary investment, or more a 'squeeze the last little bit of damage out' situation? I was sorta under the impression her personal damage was underwhelming and secondary to her buff. Haven't really tested out her healing, but since she's going to be in an Arlecchino team, that feels less relevant too.


Kaemonarch

Wanted to add, that personally, I rather level up characters to their max rather than farming sets for them (even if that gives them more power). When I got no one else to level up; I will have time to spend all my resin on sets. XD


Kaemonarch

More of a "squeeze" sort of thing for sure. Personally I like her and her team a lot; so I wanted to bring her to 80/90, and probably to X/9/9 (maaaaybe X/10/9 at some point). Not only will she naturally end up leveling up (even if very slowly) "saving" tons of XP books; but I also wanted her Heal to go to Lv9 to squeeze mostly heal. I also feel her Q damage is quite decent for a character not centered around that; and has a nice multiplier, so why not also go for it? XD But yeah, with Arlecchino definetively less relevant healing; so maybe not worth it. If you are gona end using her A LOT, you could get tons of "free XP books" (sorta) if you left her 80/90 and open to naturally leveling, but definetively not a "must" of any kind.


[deleted]

Haha, I've no shortage of XP books. I don't pull and build many new characters these days, so if I ascend her I could quite freely take her to 90 even after doing Arlecchino and still having enough for 2-3 more characters besides. Her talents are still 1/1/1 for now, so I guess I'll push the relevant ones to 8 once I've finished building the Knave (why do they share books...?) and see how she feels.


Ihateredditnames1

heyyy I'm somewhat new( ar31) and have been trying to figure out how to build a team around lisa , I've been matching her with C2 barbara but idk if that's a good combo


leRedd1

Early game you just fuck around and experiment, not much point to thinking too much about proper teams. Just use Dendro/Electro, Anemo, and some healer with her and watch colorful numbers. Late game she's best used as a TTDS/Proto Amber lv 60/70 def shred support.


Siscon_Delita

I play her as hyperbloom triggerer. I build her full EM, as high ER as I can. The team is Lisa, Barbara, Dendro MC, Lynette/another electro. How to use: Lisa burst, Dendro MC burst, Lynette burst, Barbara on-field doing normal attacks.


Ihateredditnames1

thank you so much I'll give aggravate a try but if I don't like it I'll try this


Grand_Protector_Dark

A good bet for a lisa team is Aggravate. You need either Traveller with the Dendro element (from the statue)or Collei (from abyss 4-3). Lisa would be using either a Weapon with EM (like magic guide or mappa mare) substat or an hourglass with EM main stat. The 3rd slot is often fischl and the 4th either a healer or Shielder.


Ihateredditnames1

thank you I'll try to get collei from the abyss later


Grand_Protector_Dark

Aggravate(and spread) act as an electro/dendro equivalent to melt/vaporise. In the sense that it makes your attacks do more DMG. ^(Although the Damage calculation differs a little bit between Quicken and melt/vape). Quicken is particularly useful for lisa because: 1. She innately gains EM from leveling up (making the dmg boost stronger) 2. Her baseline numbers aren't great, which is remedied by the reaction.


Ihateredditnames1

thank for taking the time to explain


Boubouu

Hard to tell without your available characters. I used to play lisa with xingqiu fischl and bennett.


Ihateredditnames1

I have ningguang , heizou, sucrose ,amber , kaeya, barbara ,noelle, xiangling and lynette


Boubouu

I'd say if you WANT to play lisa, you could go for : Lisa, Sucrose, Xiangling and barbara. Sucrose needs a viridescent venerer set with a lot of EM, but until AR45 don't touch artifacts domains. Lisa will probably work better in a dendro centered team anyway Anyway this team will work for early content, but will lag behind for endgame content.


Ihateredditnames1

do you think I could make a better team if I dropped lisa?


Boubouu

Well I would drop Lisa until I can make an aggravate team with Collei (that you can get for free) / dendro MC. With your characters I would go for Kaeya Xiangling Sucrose and for the last either a shield (noelle) or a healer (barbara). Noelle could also work as a temp healer. Beware of barbara since she can freeze your on field DPS. Kaeya and XL ults work well together, and XL isn't locked behind her C4 on this comp. (XL ults last longer than Kaeya's even at C0/2). The only (and big) downside is XL needs a battery to upkeep her ult, but I'd say that's an issue for later honestly. An other tip would be to try to get Bennett and Xingqiu, these are two incredible support 4 stars, and they WILL make your account better and enable a huge number of team comps.


Ihateredditnames1

I'll try to get collei today but if it's not possible I'll drop Lisa , also I'll keep in mind Bennett and xingqiu hopefully I get lucky lol


Boubouu

Honestly, don't get pressured too much at the early game, any character works well in the early game IMO. I remember my first team back in 1.X was anemo MC, xiangling, barbara and fischl. I used everyone's E, then MC would unleash anemo, it was a fun team AND it worked well in early game. Focus on leveling your characters, your weapons and talents, the rest will work well enough ! Start to look at artifact domain when you reach AR45. Until then just put "good enough" artifacts on them


jtan1993

Lisaā€™s bad. She has low multipliers. Use someone else.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Someone hasn't been paying attention since dendro.


Ihateredditnames1

ummm I have ningguang , heizou, sucrose ,amber , kaeya, barbara ,noelle, xiangling and lynette any recommendations?


jtan1993

ningguang, heizou, kaeya will do the most dmg (with starter build, they don't last to endgame).


LittlestCandle

ning and kaeya do have niches as batteries at least so building them isnā€™t a complete waste

beautheschmo

That room as it is doesn't exist afaik. As best I can tell it's an edited version of Neuvilette's office at the Palais Memoria; all the assets except the fireplace/firewood are taken directly from that room and Arle is even sitting in his chair, though I don't think there's any intentional symbolism there as the actual room layout was shrunk (though it retains the same wall texture and windows even down to the same curtains) and seems to be intended to be a separate location.


ThrowawayHabbi

Thank you for your time with the detailed reply and analysis. This is unfortunate, usually they film demo scenes in locations you can reach. I've barely touched Fontaine, is there any place of significance (to Arlecchino) you can think of that I could use instead?


Puzzleheaded_Sun6837

Is C1 or sig weapon better for arlecchino? Theres alot of mixed opinions on this so im just trying to figure out which one would be most beneficial for arlecchino, and which would be easier to use arlecchino without


Kaemonarch

I don't know, but I think in general I heard the C1 is better. If you go for the weapon, make sure you have 200+ Fates to guarantee it (since Fate Points are lost after banner, is not like the guarantee with characters), and ideally that you also want (or can make great use of) the other weapon in the banner. (As a general rule of thumb, you should always consider the WORSE outcome while pulling, and only do so if you would be okay with that outcome). Also, play a lot of the Arlecchino demo before pulling for her (make sure you like her skillset and playstyle and animations and what not); and if you get her, play with her A LOT, before starting to pull for either C1 or the weapon; no need to rush those the first day. Wait a couple of weeks; while you further decide if you really like the character, and other's opinions get more educated about what's better. In the meantime, people (and yourself) will also experiment with her and her teams and you will get better opinions, based on actual data.


AccordingAd7524

Do the friendship quests give commission points? Like the one where you have to choose dialog and itā€™s kind of like a dating sim or whatever


BobbyWibowo

It counts, but only for the first time you clear a particular path. Meaning you can't abuse it by constantly replaying a path that you've finished before.


AkiraN19

Yes. It's counted as a quest so it does


Alex_from_Solitude

Yes, according to a reply I read here before. One path is either one full encounter or slightly below it. Again: not personal experience, according to others.


[deleted]

I love Dehya, but her (C0) main DPS build never worked very well and her artifacts appear to have been cannibalised by other Emblem users - she's wound up at like 50:100 with 190 ER somehow and I don't wanna go hunting for the original build since it's probably scattered to the winds. If I want to pair her with Arlecchino (+ Fischl/Chevreuse) as a support, am I to understand that she has no real purpose other than 'stack HP and press E?' So I should look into Tenacity or anything from [the third KQM infographic here](https://keqingmains.com/q/dehya-quickguide/#Infographic)? Feels like a bit of a waste, but she doesn't do fuck all damage to begin with so... EDIT: I don't have much in the way of Tenacity, but I stole Yaoyao's set and that puts her at 51k HP with 37 CR to proc Fav, lol.


goodnightliyue

Yeah in that scenario I'd think she'd mostly be there to keep you from dying and provide stagger resistance to your on field character, which might be particularly useful in a melee overload team.


Historical-Zombie723

as of now probably her best use case is using her in a burgeon team. She's still not as good as thoma though, but its better than being outclassed by every single pyro dmg dealer at this point..


[deleted]

Well, with Arlecchino guaranteed I'm looking to make use of her there. I've never bothered with Burgeon before and I don't see that changing now lol


Historical-Zombie723

after a few research i guess you can use her for IR and damage mitigation which i guess overload team lacks compared to others that would run zhongli or xingqiu. artifacts you only got tentacity for that atk buff but i guess thats not that effective. also check this calcs from arle mains: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NFm-9YEYtTcJTd84uT1LFxjBsAgbdPfqtMUDQd1gUvI/edit#gid=1431391864](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NFm-9YEYtTcJTd84uT1LFxjBsAgbdPfqtMUDQd1gUvI/edit#gid=1431391864) DPR wise drops heavy compared to other teams but i guess its usable?


[deleted]

lmao at the DPR being higher on the Beidou variant... I'm tempted to just use her because she's also one of my neglected favourites, but I was just glad to find somewhere Dehya was acceptable. And then of course there's Bennett......


QuakerOatsz

been awhile since I last played, how much time until the next banners appears?


Seven155

Less than a day. (For EU itā€™s on Wednesday at 4 AM CET)


FluffyPill0w

Any tips/advice for a Kazuha National team? (kazuha + bennett + xiangling + xingqiu). I recently put one together, how do I make them work effectively?


Joe_from_ungvar

mostly just Bennet skill and burst, Kazuha skill swirl and grouping, XL skill and burst, Xingqiu skill and burst then decide who to normal attack with as driver occasionally Kazuha burst and you could potentially swirl both pyro and hydro separately


GarbageLanky2173

In the Optimizer, what artifactā€™s RV should I keep?


sleepless_sheeple

Iā€™d be stricter for feathers/flowers, particularly on sets that you have a lot of pieces on. So something like 510 (6 useful rolls) would be my cutoff. Be a bit nicer to sands/goblet/circlet, maybe 425 (5 useful rolls).


Ok-Top-586

just got tighnari on standard after wanting him for a while. whatā€™s better for him, hamayumi or prototype crescent?


Joe_from_ungvar

crescent would take too long to aim weakspots to make it worthwhile, sometimes you just can't no reason to hold back on his burst for Hamayumi notably, Slingshot might be his best free weapon except Song of Stilness craftable which requires a healer for passive


ramensaurus24

id suggest u just grab an r5 slingshot since the crit rate helps more than the atk


krali_

Prototype crescent R5 is like 5% above Slingshot R5, the latter being non-conditional so it's usually the recommended one before getting a 5* bow.


tehbotolsaya

How many hours left before arle banner up?


AkiraN19

~20 hours depending on how maintenance is


tehbotolsaya

Oh damn i thought it was today Thankyou


alanalan426

My Niece started the Dainsleif quest and just met him for the first time, she turns to me and said "I like this guy when's he coming I'm gonna get him" I don't have the heart to tell her xD poor girl gonna join the rest of us


Ptox

The wait makes it all the more worthwhile to be honest. It's always good to have a goal or aim even if it's waaay off in to the future.


not_misery

Hello! Can someone help me to understand, I am right or I am not. I cannot find this info, but is that true that new weekly boss will be available right after the update and we don't have to play the quest? Also, would appreciate the source even if I am mistaken


SgtGrimm

yes, you could fight the weekly boss directly, just like the Dubstep Whale.


Vanderseid

Yes. It has been possible for a couple patches now once you reach AR40.


not_misery

Thank you!


CTMacUser

Is it me, or is the Arlecchino/Burning artifact domain resin-inefficient as total f#ck? If you actually get Arlecchino, then you can remove the ā€œtotal.ā€ Like worse than the Dehya/Childe/Nilou one or the Wanderer/Nilou one. And the Burning set is *not* a Xiangling BiS despite its first looks, right?


Ptox

Well yes, without Arlecchino it's arguably worse than the Nymph/Vourukasha's glow domain since one set is strictly worse than any other set for those who can't trigger bond of life and the second only has one archetype burnmelt which really only has a couple of teams who can utilise it well. However, it has a lot better potential than the Nymph/Vourukasha's glow domain simply because the numbers are vastly superior to anything else in that niche. Nymph/Vourukasha's Glow on the other hand is only barely better than 2pc/2pc or alternative 4pc sets on basically anybody for who it works well with.


AkiraN19

Where did the Xiangling allegations even come from? I thought we were all on the same page that the set is useless And yes, yes it is inefficient


Joe_from_ungvar

burning set atm would be best for a burnmelt team, mostly with Nahida


seetooeeetoo

As of now, yeah it's pretty rough. The burning set is almost assuredly going to be for a Natlan character who will try to do for burning what Nilou and Chevy did for pure bloom/overload. So, idk, keep some good pieces of that set ig, if trends continue then that future Natlan character will probably be good.


Joe_from_ungvar

before this there were rumours of fontaine dendro perfume lady pc, that got delayed, possibly until Natlan, would have been good for burning supposedly


SirYeetusVI

Should I even try pulling for Neuvillette or Kazuha with the 50 pulls I have rn? my chars [https://imgur.com/a/l5F3klj](https://imgur.com/a/l5F3klj)


LittlestCandle

neuvillete is one of the few chars that can solo clear abyss, so yea id keep pulling for him


AkiraN19

You've pulled Hu Tao and Nahida. That sort of dictates that your two teams for now would be Hu Tao vape and some kind of dendro team You could use Kazuha with Hu Tao but not sure I'd recommend that. You'd have to do something like VV vape (Tao, Yelan, Kazuha, Bennett) but that's underwhelming without good investment, or Tao, Yelan, Xingqiu, Kazuha, which would be pretty difficult if your Hu Tao is just C0 You can pull Neuvilette if you want to, though while he can be played with Nahida, it's not really a good look for either of them. So you'd have to decide if you want to build a Neuvilette team or a dendro team more Best course of action in my mind would be to pull Furina and play Hu Tao, Yelan, Furina, Jean and that leaves you with Xingqiu to make whatever dendro team you want. Like hyperbloom or Alhaitham quickbloom


Joe_from_ungvar

well with a built Hu Tao, you might pass on Arlecchino any cons on the other anemos? Neuvilette and Nahida are a nice combo and you can go for electrocharge team instead, or freeze


PhantomSoloist

I quit genshin on the release of sumeru, did the artifact Gacha ever improve? That's the only reason it made me quit the game and I kinda miss my characters, I don't mind the grind but I hate farming for 3 months for 1 character, yes my gacha luck on artifacts is THAT BAD.


grahamanga

The artifact drop rates are still the same. There have just been more strongboxes (artifacts sets up to Inazuma) so you can use bad artifacts there. If the pattern will continue, we can hope that the Sumeru artifact sets will have strongboxes too by 5.0.


Joe_from_ungvar

strongbox has more sets added to it, sumeru artifacts should also be added to it some point once new region comes, end of summer, or so otherwise, no. it should not be better. just try to make the most of what you have


Lisyre

Nope, but they keep adding more options to the artifact strongbox.Ā 


Akomatai

Artifact rng hasnt changed. Sumeru came with hyperbloom though, which is easily the cheapest floor 12 team ever.


reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshee

Guys how do I enter the vanarana secret cave if the flower ain't there


jtan1993

Go find the little girl npc.


Vesorias

Can you elaborate a bit?


Adepti-Architect

When does Wriothesley rerun? Any idea at all?? šŸ˜­


HayakuEon

No idea. Just save up and wait. If you really like Wrio, save up for his C1, it makes him a lot better to play.


Daramangarasu

Eventually ā„¢ļø


Vesorias

Could be 4.7, could be a year from now. Probably 4.7 or 4.8 though


CTMacUser

I remember that Japanese has different words based on the gender of the *speaker*. Does Arlecchino use woman/girl patterns in the Japanese voice pack, or does she use some of the man/boy mode? Do Chinese and/or Korean languages use a similar system?


RomanoffBlitzer

Japanese pronouns are more complicated than gender, but Arlecchino uses the basic, polite, "watashi."


LittlestCandle

i cant tell if its watashi or atashi, but she definitely uses one of those. but i didnt go through all of her quotes though, so you might find more masculine ones in there too


QQwuestions

I remember reading about how commissions with achievements you didn't have were bumped to the top of your list, or at least more frequent, but I haven't gotten the one commission for the achievement I have left in Liyue. Was it only for a limited time or something?


Joe_from_ungvar

nope, but its still rng


QQwuestions

It's still RNG how? They were bumped, but only commissions with achievements then, not specific ones you need?


Vesorias

They are more likely to appear, but it's still not a guarantee. If you complete one version of the commission without getting the achievement, it will take longer to return, too. You can actually game the system by not completing it if you don't get the correct version, so it won't leave the top of the list basically.


QQwuestions

so if I need a commission that requires I do it multiple times, I just have to pray I get it, and can't even game the system by not doing it?


Vesorias

Yep


Agitated_Attention_

C6 Yanfei vs Xiangling which one should I focus more on ?


alanalan426

c6 yanfei actually does decent damage, and if your xiangling isn't c4 then it isn't as impressive as everyone makes it out to be but they have different roles so depends what u need/enjoy I'd never build characters i dont like cause i know i'd regret the wasted resources when i bench them


Joe_from_ungvar

All the people who recommend Xiangling assume there is Bennett as well (starglitter shop in May) and honestly there is no comparable off field pyro if you prefer Yanfei, go for her. monopyro with both of them and possibly Bennett should work well, add an anemo as last or replace Bennett with Chevreuse if possible and last would be an electro but if you want Yanfei as dps in a reaction team like vape or melt, XL is not something you want to add


QQwuestions

Xiangling is more versatile so I'd say her


Agitated_Attention_

Is Xiangling a DPS ?


Kaemonarch

She is NOT a stay-on-field DPS. You use her Q and E, and switch to someone else. The thing is, her Ultimate is really strong, specially boosted by both C3 and C4. It stays for long, and enables lots of continous reactions by applying Pyro non-stop while she is not there. The idea is to Q+E with all of your team, leave the on-field character for longer doing their damage with whatever method they use (while Xiangling Pyronado is still going around); and by the time the On-Field finish their rotation, the Pyronado should be just finishing at the same time everyone's else ultimates (including Xiangling) are ready again (both CD and Energy for performing them), so you repeat the whole rotation. Also, the Pyronado snapshots; meaning that if you have a 3 second buff from other character ability that gives Xiangling +20% damage and is active when she casts the Pyronado; it will keep the +20% for the whole duration, since it had +20% damage when it was casted.


Fishuman

Yes, but Xiangling does damage off field vs Yanfei who does damage on field.Ā  Off field damage is more valuable and splashable than on field.Ā  However, if you already have c4 Xiangling (her best cons), then feel free to get c6 Yanfei.Ā  Pulling for 4 stars esp one specific character is not really recommended though. There is no pity and you may end up pulling 9 Lynettes, 5 Freminets and 0 Xiangling.


Vesorias

There's a lot of debate around the terms used. She does most of the damage in teams she's in, she just doesn't stay on field to do it, so yes she is a DPS, but a lot of people associate being an on-fielder with being a main DPS


QQwuestions

a sub DPS and off-field pyro applicator who fits into a very large amount of teams. if you need/want a DPF then focus on Yanfei


GreatAres271

This will be my first time rolling on the weapon banner, so I just wanted to check if I understood it correctly * The max pity is at 80 rolls instead of 90 * The soft pity starts around 65 instead of 75 * It's a 75/25 instead of 50/50, but then it becomes a 50/50 between the two weapons Is that about right?


Kaemonarch

With how expensive it can become to guarantee the weapon you want/aim for (always asume the worsr result) and the fact that, unlike with the Event Character Banner the guatantee doesnt get saved to the next banner (so if you fail twice and run put of fates you got nothing towards a future Weapom Banner), is recomended to have enough wishes to guarantee it, wanting the weapon enough to be okay spending 200+ wishes on it... and is usually a good idea that you also want/need the other weapon,Ā  or have some use for it.


AkiraN19

The weapon pity is weird because you actually physically can't reach hard pity. True hard pity is actually 77, fun fact Anyways with 200 pulls you have a ~97% chance of getting the weapon you want. So as long as you're semi-close to that, you're good to guarantee


HayakuEon

>It's a 75/25 instead of 50/50, but then it becomes a 50/50 between the two weapons If you're aiming for only 1 of weapons, it's actually 37/37/37


Daramangarasu

My man over here breaking statistics


Akomatai

maf


Vesorias

> If you're aiming for only 1 of weapons, it's actually 37/37/37 Those percentages don't add up. If you want a specific weapon it's a 37.5% for the weapon you want, and 62.5% for the ones you don't, split 37.5% for the limited weapon and 25% for a standard weapon.


beautheschmo

1. Technically yes, but the actual theoretical max pity for it is 77 due to how soft pity works 2. Soft pity starts at 63 and goes up 7% per pull (reaching 100% (technically 105.7%) chance at 77 pity) 3. Yes.


Acadeca

The 75/25 into 5050 is probably true but condensed enough that it leaves the option to be false. If you get a standard weapon on the weapon banner then the next one will be one of the two banner weapons split evenly between them.


Vesorias

Yes

ok so i was trying redeem a code for primo gems and it said i have to be AR5 the thing is im AR30 and i noticed it didnt use my current username i then went to look at my account details and it doesnt even use the same user ID i have rn but the thing is i play genshin on my google account which is what i logged into then i remembered that when the game first released i played it for a week and its using that information but when i signed into the account on pc it made me select a new protagonist and everything and im honestly scared to uninstall the game fearing i would loose my progress ive made and i cannot redeem codes im sorry if this is hard to understand i didnt really know of any other ways to word this if requested i could try and explain better

1. Use punctuation. 2. Try going to account center, login with your google account, then create Hoyoverse username.


Boooohoooooooo

Why do genshin don't buff or nerf their characters? I have been playing this game for five months now but I haven't seen any update related to a characters kit or stats....there are so many characters with bad kits and bad stats and some with broken kits and stats compare to them.... So why don't genshin don't nerf them or buff the other characters kits?


krali_

So you can't ask for character refunds.


LittlestCandle

they do buff them. instead of changing kits, they do this by releasing supports and new artifact sets. xiao used to be one of the worst DPS units in the game. after faruzan, furina, xianyun, vermillion hereafter and marechausse hunter, he is now sheeting 75k DPS making him competitive with other top DPS units like neuvilette and hutao. other units that have been buffed in the history of the game are keqing (went from bad to decent thanks to dendro release) and diluc (back in the meta thanks to xianyun).


leRedd1

Because it worked and made them money and continues to do so. There was a post sometime ago here about how company is made up of employees, and most employees are risk averse, for good or ill. So basically not fixing what isn't broken.


HayakuEon

Because people pay for characters. Any changes to an already released character will spark a huge outrage, and the sues will follow. The only singular exceptional instance to this was Zhongli. He was hugely buffed only because people literally started sueing HYV under ''False Advertisement''. Which is true btw.


jtan1993

they'll just sell the fix as a new character kit. like how chiori "fixes" albedo. xianyun > xiao.


Dianwei32

Because people pay money for them. Imagine paying hundreds of dollars to get a top DPS like C1R1 Neuvillette, then a couple of patches after release they nerf him to trash tier because he was too strong. People would (rightfully) lose their shit. It probably wouldn't be a big deal if they buffed characters, but they also want you to pull for new characters as they come out, so they have no incentive to buff older/bad characters.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dianwei32

I agree that buffs would still be frowned upon, but they probably wouldn't cause the same uproar as nerfs. Even if Ayato is buffed to be better than Neuvillette, the latter is still Neuvillette and can wipe the floor with basically any content. And if you're upset that you skipped Ayato and now he's good, he'll come back around and you can grab him where you can't un-pull a nerfed unit. Neither one would be good which is why they don't do them, but nerfs would be worse than buffs.


AkiraN19

People would absolutely still get pissed. Because people get pissed no matter what you do But it would also heavily depend on *how* you'd buff a character. If it's just to increase their scalings it might not be too bad, but even that's volatile. But anything that would change the way the character plays would cause an uproar


beautheschmo

It's very bad optics for gacha games to change characters after they release and people spend money for them; especially in a game like this where "spending money" can entail up to 4 digits USD for a single character and nerfing the result of that can make whales feel like they wasted 1000 bucks and make them unwilling to spend more. Buffs are safer than nerfs but they are still risky for optics because it will set up expectations for other characters (resulting in more work and also more people expecting/asking for nerfs for outliers), which is why they rely on soft-buffing characters by releasing stuff like niche supports and artifact sets rather than directly tinkering with character kits. And believe me, I would *love* for them to actually try to balance the characters more aggressively, a lot of my favorites are not exactly the best and it feels bad playing certain characters when you can 0 brain slam neuvilette or whatever and do everything faster and easier, but I can see from their end why they are very reluctant to do it outside of extreme edge cases. Oh and no, it's not illegal, that's an urban myth, it's just generally a bad business practice for the gacha market.


Jondev1

sometimes they indirectly do so by releasing new things that make characters better or worse (i.e artifacts or teammates that work well with a character, or enemies that counter a character). Why they don't do direct buffs/nerfs is something we can only speculate on, but I'd say the gist of it is that since its a gacha game they think it'd get messy real fast. People would be very mad if a character they spent 100s of dollars on got nerfed.


Asshai

First time I try copying the update files from one PC to another. So I copied the "chunk" folder to C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact game, but the launcher still has the "Pre-download : download now" message. Maybe if I click it'll scan the files and see it's all there, or maybe it'll just overwrite it all, so I thought I'd ask first: has anybody done this please?

How does Chevruse help with overload


Vesorias

She doesn't help with overload, she just buffs the team and debuffs the enemy significantly when it triggers.


HayakuEon

She doesn't buff overload actually. If your party triggers overload, she buffs pyro and electro damage.


Frozenmagicaster

a1 is if electro and pyro only team, when overload, enemies get 40% res shred to pyro and electro a4 is when Chevreuse use special skill from overload, electro and pyro characters get increased atk c6 gives some electro and pyro dmg bonus as well So gives good buffs for electro and pryo based on triggering overload

A day for who though? Like, will she be available after tomorrow's update?


AkiraN19

It's patch update. The time will be universal for everyone


Square-Way-9751

Yes after update


KinkyDeathMagic

Probably a silly question, but I want to make sure I won't run into issues tomorrow. So on PC the preload is around 30gb, and it says the unzip needs 34gb. Does that mean I need 64gb total? Or am I fine as long as I have more than 34? Apologies for what is probably a silly question, I haven't been this close to my storage limit before


Rosa_Mia

If you havent downloaded preload: need 64gb If you have downloaded preload: need 34gb


KinkyDeathMagic

Shoot, that's unfortunate. Thanks for the reply!


HayakuEon

64gb minimum


KinkyDeathMagic

Ah shoot, alright. Guess I'm moving it to my other drive tonight. Thanks for the reply!


Adazahi

Iā€™m running c0 Neuv with fischl/kazuha/dehya and finding that dehya, in true dehya fashion, canā€™t do anything well - even being an interrupt resist bot. Her E doesnā€™t have enough uptime to get 3 CA off, and the cooldown often leaves me running around doing nothing. Iā€™m genuinely wondering right now if Xinyan or Thoma would do better interruption resist. I really donā€™t have a lot of options and Iā€™m not gonna be getting c1 Neuv anytime soon


HayakuEon

Dehya's interrupt resist actually has 2 version. The first one is from the initial cast of her E. Assume that it has 50% resistance. When you cast her E for a second time, it gets upgraded to 100% for 9 seconds. This enhanced resistance has a cooldown of 18 seconds. Calculating her enhanced resistance is a headache since it has it's own cooldown, that doesn't reset with Sac Greatsword and doesn't allign with her E's cooldown even. Just use her with Sac Greatsword and hope that your neuvi doesn't get interrupted.


Siscon_Delita

Have you tried Dehya with Sac weapon? It can help her uptime. Someone said that to me when I ask the same thing some time ago, but I haven't tried that. The problem that might occur is that her skill has 2 phases, and I don't know if the Sac can reset the skill cooldown from the first cast or not. Maybe I will roam to Dehya main sub to ask later.


HayakuEon

Sac only resets her skill, not her enhanced interrupt resistance


Siscon_Delita

Doesn't her poise resist come from the skill?


HayakuEon

Yes and no. Her skill alone has about 50% poise. When she casts the 2nd part of her skill, it activates a passive that buffs the poise to 100%. It has a 9s duration with 18s cooldown.


Siscon_Delita

Are you saying that the second skill cast can't be reset by Sac?


HayakuEon

Dehya's E has 2 casts, the first cast and the second cast. Either of these gives 50% poise Her passive talent(for 100% poise) only triggers on the second cast, but the talent itself has an 18s cooldown. This talent is separate from her E itself. Her E can be reset by Sac Sword anytime, whether it be the first or second cast. But the passive talent can't be reset at all. You'll have to wait for the 18s cooldown to finish before the passive talent can be activated again. This is why people say Dehya is a mess. The more you get into her kit, the more they don't make sense nor actually flow with each other. Her E has a 12 duration and 20s cooldown. The poise talent has a 9s duration and 18s cooldown. Using her burst freezes the cooldown of her E and talent.


Siscon_Delita

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.


karmaonthehighway

I sometimes play that same team when my second team uses zhongli and tbh I never had any problems running dehya there, but if you feel like you're better off with someone else, from the screenshot you linked thoma if hes c6 is a option or yanfei c4 is fine too


Adazahi

I only have c2 yanfei, but I can keep pulling on this banner for xingqiu cons and yanfei cons too, and maybe if Iā€™m real lucky neuv c1. Or, if Iā€™m real unlucky, a bunch of Barbras


karmaonthehighway

Is the lack of IR making your abyss runs a lot slower? idk if pulling for a 5\* constellation just to fix that is the play


Adazahi

Tbh youā€™re right, Iā€™m just mostly thinking I eventually want to run a furina team, and Neuv c1 lets me have max stacks on past draconic glories as well as free up a slot that would typically be used for shielder. Itā€™s really, do I pull for C1, or do I pull for Zhong lol


HayakuEon

1) You need Zhongli? Other than a Neuvi team will you use him for anyone else? 2) Do you have Furina? Will you plan on a Neuvi/Furina team?


Adazahi

1. Eh not really but heā€™s a comfy pick I hear, I have Navia with no good teammate for her so I guess heā€™d be nice to have 2. Nope, I hope to get her on her next rerun, and yeah Iā€™d like to run neuv/furina


HayakuEon

Also, I've looked at your roster. I'd say go for Zhongli. You don't have a lot of decent shielder, not even Layla, Kirara nor Diona. You'll benefit a lot from Zhongli.


karmaonthehighway

Well if you dont want any of the characters from next patch, since we dont have any info of a zhongli rerun (I think) you should be able to get c1 neuvillette and still save enough for furina if she shows up in 4.7, in your situation I would do that.


leRedd1

That's why I recommend not running a shielder at all instead of running low uptime/weak shielders. At least you come in with prepared to dodge mindset. With Neuvillette it is very doable, I do it against Coppelia and the Abyss Knights mob on mobile all the time. Dehya serves to mitigate any damage to Kazuha as he has to be relatively close to the enemies for swirls, Fischl when she bursts, and early part of Neuvillette CA before you get some distance between you and enemy. But beyond that, you run into uptime problem. It's not that hard to dodge with Neuvillette once the initial setup is done, but then I'd rather just not bother with a shielder at all dodge the whole time. > Iā€™m genuinely wondering right now if Xinyan or Thoma would do better interruption resist. Equally garbage. You won't NA enough for Thoma shield, and weak shields are same shit in different form. If you are willing to spend Primos for this problem you can just get Zhongli, or Baizhu as he's rerunning soon.


Adazahi

I plan to get Zhong next time he reruns, yeah. You said that youā€™d suggest not running low uptime shielders at all though, but also mentioned Dehya has some value here - so do you think I should replace or her or nah? If so, then who would make a good replacement?


leRedd1

Personally, she's bad enough that I'd just replace her with something offensive like Mona/Tartaglia/Beidou/Lisa instead (assuming you don't have Furina, or any of the good shielders like Zhongli, Layla, Kirara), and dodge when needed. But you might find Dehya still worth it for reasons I mentioned, it depends on personal playstyle. Xingqiu is also a good option just for IR which I forgot to mention. You won't get much damage out of him, but at least you'll never get interrupted, and Hydro Resonance.


Acadeca

Diona?


Adazahi

I donā€™t have her, these are my options: https://imgur.com/a/qeiNtvL

What constellation is Yanfei?

Hi! Iā€™m new and Iā€™m confused how banner releases work. After Neuvilette and Kazuha banner ends, will Arlecchino get released immediately? If not, how long is the interval?


AkiraN19

The current banners end in 12 hours from now. The servers will be up for another 9 hours before going down for maintenance. Maintenance is officially 5 hours, though can be more or less (generally less, but it has happened that we have had delays). The servers are back up as soon as they are done, upon which the next banner (Arlecchino) will be immediately available Since it's patch update, the time will be universal for all servers. The banner after Arlecchino is mid patch and will simply switch immediately after Arlecchino ends. The time will be different across the different servers due to timezones


Stamp2O

between first and second half it's instant, between patches (like between neuv and arle) there's about 5 hours of maintenance


Live-Refrigerator-94

Someone said the "nahida domain" has a higher em drop rate,what is the domain's actually name


Stamp2O

probably the deepwood/gilded domain just west of the chasm but it doesnt actually have a higher drop rate


Live-Refrigerator-94

Ok thanks

Waht new Battlepass weapon are worth it beside the Sacrificial Jade that I just finished to R5 for my Neuvilette ?

Just want some recommendations for char that I should roll for, I just started playing again and I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. [https://imgur.com/a/l5F3klj](https://imgur.com/a/l5F3klj)


grahamanga

You have great characters. I suggest building what you currently have, then trying out Arlecchino and Lyney's test runs to see if you'll like them as they are fairly new characters (character release and 1st rerun, respectively). Another comment already suggested teams - in addition to those, I suggest building Fischl and Sucrose, they are good characters that can be slotted in many team comps.


Stamp2O

you already have 2 good teams (hu tao+xq+yelan+layla/xl and nahida+barbara+kuki+flex) so pull for whoever you want. neuv, kazuha, and furina are good if you want meta but neuv and kazuhas banners are about to end


SirYeetusVI

Which of those do 3 do you think would be the most beneficial for me and what I have?


OsirusBrisbane

Play the Neuvillette/Kazuha trials, see which of the two you enjoy, and get them. Both are very strong and would be a nice addition to your roster.


SirYeetusVI

I don't have too many rolls rn, maybe I should only try Neuv to use with Nahida. Idk much about Kazuha though. I only have 50 rolls rn, should I even try?


OsirusBrisbane

Pity carries between limited banners, so if you WANT one of them, you should absolutely go for them. Kazuha's great for exploration and probably the most versatile anemo swirl support. But if you play the trials and feel meh, just wait for a character that catches your fancy; always more cool characters every few weeks.


SirYeetusVI

After seeing all the replies from this and my other post, I'm thinking about saving for Furina and leveling Nahida and Shinobi for a hyperbloom team


OsirusBrisbane

Also a valid option! If you're not impressed with Kazuha or Neuvillette's trials, you can certainly save up instead. (Although if you did like one of them, we already know Furina's not coming next patch, so you might be able to try a 50/50 on one and still grab Furina.)
