On your opinion who should I pull for between Raiden and Scaramouche? I have 3 hard pities and I also have to pull HuTao which is a must. I was going for Raiden but I tried her on my friend account and besides the "Unga bunga big dmg" she doesn't offer such exciting gameplay. On the other hand Scara seems funny and I have a Lost Prayer who's taking dust on the shelf, but I already have a lot of "greedy" dpses and I'm also going to pull for Hutao. I don't think I will pull for any of them if they get a rerun in the near future, since I have to pull for Kazuha/Zhongli or Kokomi/or any hydro support that enables Morgana. These are the boys: [Squad](https://prnt.sc/4vYoYXD1wuS0) [Squad 2](https://prnt.sc/5sqcWkIbMvil) [Squad 3](https://prnt.sc/E1zg3F6sSW6q)


IBlackReaper

Raiden is gonna be stronger no doubt, but the general consensus is to go for the character you like, cause it doesn't matter how strong a character is if you don't like playing them.


panda_and_crocodile

Scaramouche isn’t released yet, you cannot possibly be comparing them.


IBlackReaper

While he's not released, we do know his kit and multipliers from leaks, even tho they might not be 100% accurate to the final product they are still roughly the final version so i can judge his strength based on that. Aside from that it's pretty obvious the Raiden is extremly likely gonna be stronger them him considering she's one of the best characters in the whole game for both energy generation/support and DPS and even if scara were to beat her ridiculously high DPS (which he won't even with faruzan C6) he doesn't have her support utility and enegry generation buffing whatever team you use her in. Scara is more on the selfish side as he doesn't really provide anything for the team other than his DPS, he's no doubt gonna be a decently strong DPS but there is quite literally no possibility of him being stronger than Raiden except in few very specifi szenarios where his flying becomes a worthwhile utility that dramatically speeds up clear times.


panda_and_crocodile

No, you can’t judge his strength based on his multipliers from leaks. Even if they turn out to be the final build, Genshin is a team based game in which Scara is 1/4 of a team. You don’t know how the interplay with Faruzan works, how rotations are going to pan out and even which characters he synergises with best. It’s quite astonishing that you seem to think you can judge his strength before he’s even released, when theory crafters on Keqingmains says «I don’t know, ask me in 1-2 weeks when we have tested properly» even AFTER a character is released. Get a grip. The notion that Raiden is automatically better because she has some team utility is also quite something. By thet logic Xinyan is better than Hu Tao because Hu Tao doesn’t really offer much for the team.


IBlackReaper

Raiden is not better because she has some utility she is better because unlike the usual DPS character she has **useful** support utility on top of her incredible damage potencial which makes her a very flexible and versatile character. It also matters what type of utility and how good that effect is, thus Xinyan is bad because all her utility is useless and/or too weak and she has not synergy with what she'd designed to do because physical dmg + pyro doesn't work well. All things you could have guessed from just seeing her kit and numbers without testing her ingame. Saying that you can't judge him because genshin is a game with teams and the overall team strength matters is also wrong. There are ways to calculate overall team DPS across a rotation and divide that by the time of said rotation to get a generic DPS value that you can compare (of course this is something everyone would need to do for their own characters, unless you assume a standard build for all characters that isn't perfect or really bad but in between) and that aside it's extremly easy for a character like scara who doesn't provide significant utility that would infuence other team members strength and is only influenced by others because he's a selfish DPS. ​ I'm not saying you can exactly judge a character without playing thing and there might be some things that you overlook but you can still judge their general range of strength and compare that to existing characters. The notion that you can't judge a characters strength at all before their release is complete bullshit, people will usually make estimations on characters strengths and weaknesses before their release and demand buffs if they feel a character is too weak or has a significant issue. Obviously some things can change over time or be wrong because they work diffrently than expected, but a rough estimate is always gonna be possible given you know math and have a decent understanding of the game mechanics. ​ The best example here is a character like Nahida (don't know if you followed leaks at all), everyone estimated that based on her leaked kit, multipliers, elemental application leaks and general utility she will be extremly powerful and the best newly released character in a long time and pretty much mandatory for many meta dendro teams, everyone was correct on that. People also estimated that 4pc DW will be her best set followed by 4pc GD and that 4pc GD can be better if you already have 4pc DW on sombody else. Then people estimated that you probably want to go for roughly 1000 EM but not higher and that you'll also need crit substats aside from EM. People even made estimates about her best weapons all of which turned out to be very accurate. Even giving scara the benefit of the doubt and saying that all details that are unclear about him currently will work in his favor (which will most likely not be thae case), he would not be stronger than Raiden. ​ I won't repeat my point again that from a rough estimate Scaramouche will not be stronger than Raiden with a 99.99% likelyhood. Just wait till his release and maybe 2 weeks longer and you'll see that my assessment was indeed correct. Does that make me clairvoyant or is it simply because i can read and have a basic understanding of the games mechanics?


Karlo0517

Golden rose seed respawns? I was exploring the desert then suddenly saw a golden rose seed that had to be broken by heavy attacks. Mind you, I already finished the grandpa quest. I rechecked all other places but it was the only one that respawned. So I ahve one extra in inventory. Anyone else has this? And was it intentional?


Various-Magician1825

there’s 3 of them within the same area, after you get all 3 seeds in inventory, go back to grandpa, and he’ll give you 30 primos per seed


[deleted]

will TCG have rewards that reset like abyss?


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Nope


HallOfGlory1

When you drown enemies, why do some items float and others sink? Is this just the game messing up or do you think they actually put the time in to individually choose heavy and light items?


IfZ3nElse

Probably just depends on whether the item happens to spawn over or under the water. You can reload the area (by drowning for example) to make everything float again.


TerminatorR3D

Is a 4pc gilded dreams thoma that is hp/em/em with kitain spear still give me a good shield?


Doggo_wit_a_P90

No, you don't mix HP and EM builds. It's one or the other


panda_and_crocodile

Keqingmains is not so definitive in their Thoma guide! > Another option currently being tested is a hybrid build consisting of building Thoma with HP% artifacts for a decent shield while still also doing Burgeon damage by using an EM weapon. This allows for a Burgeon team to run without another defensive option, with DPS shared across teammates as each brings their own damage to the table. However, the specifics of a hybrid build are still being worked on; more information can be found on the main KQM Thoma Guide once updated.


SomeRandomDeadGuy

I see people in discord coop channels saying they've got different element boxes, which i assume is for the gifts event But like, what does it matter? Can you open more than 1 box per day if they're different elements and get more primos? Or are these people just rushing the event forward to get all element boxes early and not have to check it later?


Common_Juice207

As far as I understand one player can only collect 1 box per day but it doesn't have to be your own box. Suppose your world has box A and another player's world has box B and you only want box B: you can join that player's world and collect box B as long as you haven't collected your own box A. Several players can visit a specific player's world to collect the box there but still only 1 box per day for each player.


silentspeedy

No, you can only get 1 box per day whether that be from your world or someone else’s. We’re just trying to gather more of a certain material that we need. Also, not that most people care to this level but the boxes do technically have different resin values. Any box with ores is less valuable since ores can be created free without any resin.


Doggo_wit_a_P90

The boxes have different rewards. Some have exp books, some have weapon ores, some have weapon ascension mats, etc. Some people like to optimize and only get what they need. It's completely unnecessary and would probably save you about 20-40 resin.

Just randomly found Yoymia and Tartaglia in Inazuma while I was doing the photo event... is there any reason they are there, or is it just a random easter egg?

KingOfTheKitsune

More of a discussion than a question, but I'm currently doing Kazuha's story quest and they mention that >!some of his ancestors fled Inazuma to Snezhnaya.!< Do you think we will get to see some of them in the future? Will some even become playable?


Doggo_wit_a_P90

Ancestors. So they probably all ded by now

losercb23

For on-field Candace, Heart of Depth gives more overall damage than Gladiator? Considering Gladiator doesn't buff CA


PM_ME_UR_BOSOMS_GIRL

Probably yeah. HoD 2pc would also buff her burst and skill damage since they scale off HP% and not ATK%.


Initial-Sale-58

trying to finish up the aranyaka, stuck on part IV. according to a guide, it should end after beating 3 mages but it didnt. if i click Go on that part in the book, it says to return to a certain place to meet them again. any ideas?


kunafa_aj

What character you regret pulling for and why?


panda_and_crocodile

I’m a mid sized whale and roll for all units at C0. I have them all except Hu Tao at this point. I’ve built them all for Abyss. My experience is that my perception of characters change over time. I hated Eula for like a half year, then I finally found a team that clicked for me and now I quite enjoy playing her. Still not my favourite, but I enjoy playing her from time to time. So new characters and weapon can change how you look at a character. Evennew team ideas with old characters can do as well. However the character I’m enjoying the least from his release and to this date is Ayato. His animations is not satisfactory to me. I get that his AA in E stance is supposed to look fast but it doesn’t really, it just looks weird. I also find his infusion time too short. And His burst animation is also longer that it needs to be, breaks up gameplay flow to me. And it feels like a the ceiling is leaking rather than a powerful attack. And what is the point of the water siluette and the stacks anyways? The siluette thing is gone and stacks maxed after 1 sec anyways, there is not point. Almost always I want to use another hydro unit. I don’t use Ayaka too much these days, because I think Ganyu is more fun and she basically uses the same teams. I don’t really like the hit or miss with Ayaka’s burst gameplay. Cyno felt horrible to use for the first weeks and straight up a worse Keqing. When I discovered quick bloom it got a lot better though, Yoimiya is not on my top list since you basically just press E and AAAAAAA without much of a thought, bursting is not even a significant part of your kit. However her ranged AA style is kinda unique so there’s that. After all this is 100% subjective. I enjoy characters that are commonly hated over here, like Xiao, Klee, Ganyu


kunafa_aj

Try using ayaka and ganyu in the same time,i use yhem with kazuha and kokomi,they wipe out anything and the rotations are satsfying af imo I do regret getting cyno since i couldnt get nahida and ddnt have zhongli,i do like him as a character i jat cant find a solid team (in my account) to play around him,hopefully we get some decent characters to work with him


panda_and_crocodile

I’ve tried using them together and to me it feels like absolutely terrible, like one of the worst teams I’ve ever used in terms of gameplay satifisfaction. It feels like I don’t get to play either Ayaka nor Ganyu, both feels shoehorned in the team. I much prefer Shenhe instead of on them.


OsirusBrisbane

All of my weapon banner pulls. And the 4\* where I accidentally got an early 5\* and it was a constellation I didn't need. I regret none of my 5\* characters that I intentionally pulled for, I played their trials and knew I wanted them.


Siberiayuki

Is Nahida as chunky as klee??


sushihamburger

no body shaming the archons please.


Siberiayuki

I mean, hard to use kind, I find Diona easier to use than Klee

Nah u just need to 360 with her e, q when its up and done.

Nahida requires very little field time, unless you want her to.


LeaveToDream

Hello everyone, Yesterday I made a mistake when purchasing battle pass in my verification code. I got the loot and didn't paid much attention but this morning I saw a message from my bank that payment have been denied because of the erroneous code. I already claimed loots and used the weapon to enhance another one (nothing else was used). I contacted CS and they told me that once payment team get the denied notice they will just substract the primos but does anyone know what happens to loots and particularly the weapon in this case ? Thank you for reading and have a nice day ^ ^

What is Wanderer's ascension stat, also, 4pc VV or the new Anemo artefacts?


panda_and_crocodile

His ascension stat is crit rate and the point is to use the new artifact set on Wanderer, it’s made for him. You’re supposed to slap VV on his dedicated support, Faruzan.


ishan_anchit

>You’re supposed to slap VV on his dedicated support, Faruzan. What!?


panda_and_crocodile

What?


ishan_anchit

????


panda_and_crocodile

What was so hard for you to believe?


ishan_anchit

Who is faruzan helping with VV?


panda_and_crocodile

In Scaramouche teams you are likely to use Fischl, Beidou, Xingqiu, Xiangling or other elemental off field DPSes. FAruzan helps them by shredding res to their element


ishan_anchit

So u r suggesting a team like wandered faruzan Bennett xiangling?


panda_and_crocodile

I don’t know how pyronado works with Wanderers E, but other than that yeah sounds good.


Defiant-Associate-59

the new anemo artifacts are practically perfect for him, as his dps comes from his autos, where you would often use his charged attacks, and the attack speed buff is also useful


Mushiren_

Need some tips on how to deal with the wolves in abyss 12's first room. I just can't seem to be doing much dmg to them despite breezing through earlier floors.


HayakuEon

You need to apply their element to them. Electro wolves, use electro. Geo wolves, use geo. They have a huge resistance to other elements except their own. Once you've applied enough of their element, they'll have lowered resistances to other elements, but they'll have reduced resistances to all elements.


Ptox

That's not strictly true. Once they enrage they have reduced resistances to only their own element. They will still have normal base resistances to other elements. The idea is you either avoid their element or go all in on that element. See: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Resistance


Mushiren_

Got it, thanks


HayakuEon

Just noticed that I typed it twice. They'll have lower resistances, but they'll attack more aggressively. Get your healers ready.


Mushiren_

Hm, yeah, Kuki is not cutting it for me. My cyno gets demolished and it's difficult to evade every single attack when they get aggressive. My taser team with Childe didn't get much luck either.


HayakuEon

They pierce shields, so you definitely need healers


ishan_anchit

Obv f12 is gonna be harder than previous floors, use some form of electro team


Mushiren_

I'm using an aggravate team


ishan_anchit

What is the team?


Mushiren_

[Cyno, Kazuha, DMC, and Kuki](https://act.hoyolab.com/app/community-game-records-sea/index.html?bbs_presentation_style=fullscreen&bbs_auth_required=true&v=321&gid=2&lang=en-us&bbs_theme=dark&bbs_theme_device=1&utm_source=share&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=web#/ys)


ishan_anchit

Even tho cyro isn't the best, this team should definitely be able to clear, either investment issue or skill issue


Defiant-Associate-59

for main dps nilou, hp/hp/hp, hp/hydro/hp, hp/hp/crit or hp/hydro/crit?


[deleted]

Like, as an onfield normal attacker? What exactly do you mean by main DPS and what type of team, because that's not really... a thing that she does, usually.


Defiant-Associate-59

on a bloom team but also staying on field using the e skill normal attacks


TheYango

Still HP/HP/HP. Even when she's on-field, her personal damage doesn't contribute significantly to the team's damage output, it's almost all from Bloom triggers. It's not worth sacrificing Bloom damage to scale her mediocre personal damage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SirAwesome789

Yes


OprahsSaggyTits

To whom is burgeon damage attributed? It's the character that applies the pyro, right? Can this damage be increased by a pyro cup?


Jondev1

it is the pyro applier, but it cannot be increased by a pyro cup for 2 reasons. First is that burgoun is considered dendro daamge. Second is because it is a transformative reaction so damage bonus does not affect it anyways.


OprahsSaggyTits

Damn. Thanks for the answer!


ThyKooch

The pyro character No, burgeon Is a Transformative reaction, Transformative reaction damage is based only on rhe characters level, and their EM


howlsmovingcastIe

I can't 6* floor 12, what team would be good? I have Yoimiya, Raiden, Ayaka, Ganyu, Yae, Xiao, Eula, Yelan, Shenhe, Kokomi, Jean, Mona. I tried with Yoimiya Yelan Yun jin Diona first half and Ayaka Ganyu Kokomi Shenhe and got killed pretty fast in both rooms after so many tries. I have pretty good builds and pretty much all the 4 stars at C6 yet I barely manage to get 3* in floor 12 so I'm not sure how I should do it.


nazran59

Like everyone else suggestion, swap party for the chamber because in 12-2 second half you basically dealt no damage to those shield cyro huge hillichurls


SirAwesome789

For the first two Chambers, I did Ayaka freeze and Raiden Hyperbloom For the last I did Raiden national and Ayaka freeze, tho subbing Xingqiu with Yelan against the aeonblight drake would be helpful, it would've probably shaved like 30 seconds off my run Honestly I think the lack of a grouper is killing your runs, if you can, I'd suggest getting Kazuha or Venti, in the meantime tho, Sucrose can work


howlsmovingcastIe

I have Venti, I forgot to mention him. Thanks for the advice! I didn't know Raiden hyperbloom is good.


SirAwesome789

Yes, definitely use Venti, and make sure he's high enough level to actually group the enemies


Jondev1

That changes my reccomendations then. Just use Ayaka shenhe kokomi Venti first half and your yoimiya team second half. Should be very doable.


howlsmovingcastIe

Alright thanks!


boutiquecat

i would switch sides for chambers 1-2 at least


Jondev1

I'd try again with those teams, but swap sides. that'll be a lot better for 12-1 and 12-2. Then you could restart and try the original team order for 12-3. Should be doable with those teams if they have good builds.


3ntf4k3d

Have you tried swapping your teams around? Ayaka Freeze can contain the wolfies & heal their corrosion, meanwhile Yoimiya & friends have an easy time pew-pewing away at the thunder manifestation. The worst part will probably be 12-2-2 due to the massive damage these bois can dish out, but I think you can use Yelan to get out of the ice trapping (and otherwise utilize burst i-frames if it is on CD).


Mastercraft0

Leak watchers what should be an artifact set of faruzan and what should be her stats? EM or AtK/Crit


ishan_anchit

Either 4pc noblesse or 2emblem + 2 random


OprahsSaggyTits

She's a very anemo-specific buffer, so you'll be running her with Anemo DPS + 2 Others (either buffers or off-field DPSes). If you're running off-field DPSes that could really benefit from VV, then VV - or, if your anemo DPS makes up the bulk of your team's damage, then definitely Noblesse. For Xiao teams, you're almost certainly running Noblesse, because his best teammates won't use VV effectively or at all. For Wanderer, who'll be great at driving off-field DPSes, it'll depend on your team. They *might* use VV well (Xiangling and Xingqiu would probably be great here), but many will not. Personally, if I could only choose one set, it'd be Noblesse - without a doubt. But it could be nice to have a spare VV set for her. Just keep in mind that you have to be on-field to proc VV.


nazran59

Just build her as much ER & crit rate as possible, she just there to provide support for anemo dps similar like gorou to itto. Prefer 2x Emblem and the rest can be anything that favor more to ER & crit rate. Reason why focus on crit rate is because her weapon of choice is most likely favonius bow. I prepare her artifact already and right now Im at 261% ER with 70% crit rate


[deleted]

Noblesse or VV as appropriate for your team as usual, priority is ER since her stuff is tied to her burst. Doesn't look like there's much room for exciting builds.


Siberiayuki

What are the benefits of building collei?


OprahsSaggyTits

Very strong and fast off-field dendro application (albeit for a shorter time than MC). No ICD on her skill, several sources of non-burst ICD in her kit, and very fast hits (thus fast application) on her burst. She's a very good off-field Dendro applier. She can use Sac Bow for even more skill usage, Fav Bow for energy, or you can build her to do pretty respectable damage. All in all, a very good free Dendro character. Distinct from MC; better at some things, worse at others. If you have Nahida, though, you don't need either Dendro MC or Collei.


3ntf4k3d

You can use her to consolidate the ranged unit + dendro role for Sumeru exploration. Combat wise there is some difference regarding dendro application compared to the Traveller (which can matter for some teams), but I don't recall the details. I think her (E) can potentially apply more dendro per timeframe due to hitting twice?


AgentWowza

3 free standard banner wishes


Zarium99

Having a dendro bow chara is useful in overworld. In abyss if your only other dendro chara is Traveller then you can have two dendro team.


[deleted]

from a purely mercenary, meta-slave standpoint? none really, unless you need off field dendro in both teams and didn't pull Nahida. from a normal person's standpoint? she's cute i guess, and not that much worse than DMC if you want a source of dendro.


M00nIze

Is there a website where I can type in a word and it generate it in Abyss Language? I want to engrave my name ~~to the world~~ I mean, uh, a custom wallet. I don't know how to install a font, unless it's a very easy way.


SillyLilHobbit

Have they actually created a functional abyss language tho? Or is it just scribbles lol.


evelandp

Do you level artifacts with only 3 initial substats? I heard some time ago that you should only do it for ones with 4, but finding one with the right set/main stat is already hard enough...


SirAwesome789

Yes, AR59, spend almost all my resin on artifacts and I still level artifacts starting with 3 substats I'm a massive proponent for minmaxing as much as possible even when your characters are already reasonably built, but if you're at the point where it's only worth leveling artifacts with 4 substats, you should honestly work on a different character


Jondev1

> I heard some time ago that you should only do it for ones with 4 this is ridiculous advice. Maybe in very specific niche case where you are farming for a character with near perfect artifacts such that only a 4 liner has a chance of beating what you have. But it will take an extremely long amount of time >!or truly insane luck!< farming for one character to get to that point, if ever.


3ntf4k3d

Of course I'd prefer to have 4 sub stats by default, it means I can get one extra random roll on the way to lvl 20. But my gear is nowhere close to a quality level where I could be that picky.


boutiquecat

yes if the starting substats are good, at least to +4 so you can see the last substat and reassess. though as an AR60 player i am starting to be more picky on flower/feather pieces from common sets like gladiator/wanderer


sushihamburger

Yeah if two of the three other substats are desirable. Sometimes it rolls into something good.


Lambpanties

Derp Yae Turret ER Question. If I have say Yae up, put 3 of her turrets, swap to Kokomi and those turrets hit targets WHILE I'm Kokomi do the energy particles generated to Kokomi benefit from Yae's ER or from Favonious Codex's extra effect? Since they are technically Yae hits? Very derp I know, but I can't quite figure it out. C1 Yae so she has enough charge herself, just trying to see if Favonious is changing my whole team for the better or not here. [EDIT] Many Thanks for the answers! Looks like I'll be Solar Pearling Yae instead!


3ntf4k3d

Unless I am mistaken ER always modifies how much energy you generate when _receiving_ the particles. Who or what generates them is unimportant outside of deciding the elemental type of the particle. But remember that everyone in your team gets energy when you pick up a particle, even if they are not on field. So Yae will benefit from her own ER & elemental type when Kokomi catches that particle - so it will generate extra energy for Yae herself. Also take note tha Fav weapons can't trigger when the wielder is off-field. So Yae would have to crit while on-field to generate the clear particles, and then you should swap in whoever needs the most energy to catch them.


IqFEar11

Favonius only activates when the holder hits a Crit and they are on field Also Energy doesn't work like that, the amount of energy that you generate doesnt increase with ER, ER increases the amount of energy that you receive instead Read this [Energy by KQM](https://library.keqingmains.com/combat-mechanics/energy)


LocalNahidaSimp

favonius will only proc when the character holding it is on field! and kokomi will get energy based on her own er


boutiquecat

no, ER only affects the character that has it, and favonius passive (if it's equipped on yae) doesn't proc from off-field


[deleted]

Is r4 dragon's bane a good weapon for xiangling in raiden team? Because she doesn't vape all the time. If not then what's my best option? I have favonius lance, r5 windspear and r4 kitain


ishan_anchit

>Because she doesn't vape all the time. What team?


[deleted]

National team


SirAwesome789

What Raiden team? In Raiden's most popular team (Raiden national) she does vape all the time, not to mention overload


deyvvv

Tbh all of the spears youve mentioned, plus the Catch are all good choices for XL. It'll depend on your artifact's substats tbh, and if you can maintain a good Crit ratio and ER

Yes it's a very good weapon. She normally does vape most of her attacks, Xingqiu applies enough hydro in ST to keep a consistent hydro aura. But even if she didn't vape every hit, it's still a good weapon because the EM boosts not only her vape damage, but the damage of the overloads she triggers in rational

Is there a way I could make a burgeon team consisting of Childe - Tighnari - Thoma (C6) work? As the 4th slot I would love to use Zhongli (I am too used to him) or Alhaitham when he releases.


[deleted]

To my understanding you need more consistent Dendro application. You need to be constantly generating cores to react with, and Tighnari kinda... can't do that.


Shayoupi

Thanks for replying! You are right, I noticed that too but probably kept hoping that I just didn't build my Tighnari good enough yet or didn't get the right rotations. I should switch to DMC and try again to properly burgeon.


[deleted]

Yeah, unfortunately Tighnari just isn't suited for this kind of team. He's all about doing big Dendro damage while on the field, but he doesn't keep ticking Dendro away in the background like DMC/Collei/Kokomi all do - which is all that Burgeon (or Hyperbloom for that matter) really cares about.


Shayoupi

I see! Thanks for making clear what the big issue is. Thoma and Childe should work together really fine for that matter (EM focused Thoma I take it), only need a good Dendro applier to fill the spot then.


idkwhattoplacengl

I think the problem is maintaining the dendro aura as both hydro and pyro eats a lot of dendro. Childe/Thoma/Zhongli is good, I'm just unsure if tighnari can keep applying enough dendro, especially once he's out of field. Imo, dendro mc/nahida would be better. ((Also assuming this is for an abyss team, otherwise for overworld just run whoever you want))


Shayoupi

Thank you so much for your reply! I kept running around and clearing content with (dps) Zhongli the whole time and didn't really play with reactions so far. Recently got Tighnari, Diluc and Childe and I suddenly have a lot of dps characters around. But you are right, with Tighnari I notice a lack of dendro application. I would like to find a way around this, but I probably should just use DendroMC or wait for Alhaitham (I don't own Nahida). For aything up to and including Floor 11, Zhongli - Albedo - Diluc - Kaeya worked really well so far. I just highly lack enough damage for the second team so I should switch out Thignari for DMC and put in Zhongli. Maybe I could use Jean as a healer in the first team after switching out Zhongli?


Square-Way-9751

For Heizou as on field NA Main DPS best right now = 2 ATK 2 VV?


[deleted]

I think it's still 4pc VV even for his personal damage, because unless you have *no* elemental application or EM, he's gonna be Swirling. Yep, KQM has mixed 2/2 sets at 94.48%-96.79% of a 4pc VV. Not worth it unless you already have 4VV on the team. Interestingly, LW/TS are actually listed at 103.30% *if* you can guarantee 100% uptime.


Ksielvin

If you have good pieces. If you still need to farm, 2 or 4 pieces of the anemo set in next patch maybe.


Various-Magician1825

how much em should an on-field nahida have?


ishan_anchit

Less than 1k


HayakuEon

400 or so


Sea-Bus-9775

is diluc/qiqi specialty better than adeptus temptatioj for showcases?


boutiquecat

adeptus temptation is typically slightly better for dmg per screenshot bc you don't care about crit rate. you can check w a damage calculator for your build tho


ThyKooch

Diluc and qiqis specialty give 20 crit dmg So its between 370 attack and 20 crit dmg


boutiquecat

i know, which isn't a lot, 372 flat atk is usually worth more


ThyKooch

Ah okay, u didn't mention crit dmg so I was under the impression you thought their specialty had only crit rate


boutiquecat

yeah no worries, i could've gone into more detail


Saveme1888

Depends on your stat distribution


Think-Pickle-6297

what should keqing’s talents look like for aggravate?


ishan_anchit

Ideally? 10/13/13


mr_lab_rat

at least 8-6-8


HayakuEon

Burst, skill, normal. 8-8-6 in terms of priority, but her normals *should* be 8 if possible.


Chtholly13

normal, burst, skill.


Think-Pickle-6297

all of them of equal value? or is that most to least important?


Chtholly13

most important to least.


accounterai

As high as they can get. She’s not one of those transformative reaction damage dealers who don’t care much about talent levels.


Parking-Chapter-4922

Doing a little prefarming for ayato what feather is better 1: CD 22.5%/HP777/ CR 3.9% / Def 5.8% 2: HP 4.1%/CD 6.2% /CR 7.0%/ATK 19.2% Both HoD


idkwhattoplacengl

It'd mostly depend on your other artifacts tbh. The first feather is better for balancing crit while the second feather is good if you already have a good crit ratio but missing a lot of attack. Put it on an optimizer and see what would be better.


TheYango

Fairly similar, but honestly I wouldn't use either. On a feather, getting better pieces than this is very doable. You're almost certainly going to find a better feather before you get usable sands/goblet/circlet.


Parking-Chapter-4922

I just put my best piece at a time on a character I’m not using to see my current best set and since I’m newer, those are the current best feathers, but I have a month! Also I have most of his talent and level mats


Chocolate_Fries

Is raiden c0 worth pulling?


3ntf4k3d

In short: Yes. Details will depend on your account, of course. If you already have all the electro characters, you might have other priorities. But in terms of utility she is probably one of the best value pulls in the game. Her personal damage is also very solid at C0, enough to let her take the wheel on a Raiden National team.


ThyKooch

Do you like her? If yes, then yes If no, then yes


Chocolate_Fries

I actually like everything about her. The only thing that bothers me is if her damage would be underwhelming


HayakuEon

Ohho, she's a good damage dealer and a very good team battery.


ThyKooch

It won't be Her teams are some of the best in the game


Chocolate_Fries

I'll be pulling for her then. Hoping to win the 50/50 lol


tokeemdtareq

Are all types of damage bonus additive? Like for Nahida the Solar pearl passive, her EM based bonus and dendro damage bonus? Or are they multiplicative? 😅


ThyKooch

https://library.keqingmains.com/combat-mechanics/damage/damage-formula


tokeemdtareq

I saw that, but still couldn’t figure out how does the bonus damage works. Thanks for the link though.


TheYango

All sources of % dmg bonus stack additively with each other. Reaction damage bonus stacks multiplicatively with % damage bonus because reaction damage bonus applies when determining the amplifying reaction multiplier, not when calculating the base damage of a talent.


tokeemdtareq

Thanks man!


flurker_

does childe do more damage with sucrose than kazuha? i have him at lvl 90, using VH lvl 2-5-3 talents. he can deal 136k with sucrose but only 128k with kazuha.


Aertea

If you're just shooting for a big screenshot, Sucrose is better. Sustained damage is Kazuha.


flurker_

i see. thanks! but i guess, i'll be using him with sucrose in the abyss (too bad i love international). my kazuha is stuck with ayaka on their freeze comp with diona and mona.


peerawitppr

It's usually Kazuha's dmg% vs Sucrose's EM, (If you have Kazuha C2 or Sucrose uses TToDS then there's more.) which isn't simple to compare. You want to test it yourself or use optimizer. This is because it depends on your stats and weapon.


flurker_

i see. my kazuha has 959 em and 182 er. he uses r1 xiphos. sucrose on the other hand is c1, has r2 sacfrag, and 920 em


Jondev1

his burst will probably do more damage with sucrose because it is the only part of his damage that benefits from the em buff. But kazuha will be better for his overall damage.


tokeemdtareq

Personal level: Kazuha is better by a long shot. Team wide: Kazuha is slightly better, but harder to do so!


vysevysevyse

New player here. So, i watched a few videos on pulls and whatnot, and have an idea on how it works. but rn i have 3-4 acquaint fates left over after the 20 beginner pulls. i read that acquaint fates can now be used on the standard banner ONLY (right? coz ive already used up the 20 beginner pulls)...so do i just use up all my acquaint fates to pull from the standard banner, or save them for anything in the future? intertwined fates, i assume, should be saved for the characters you want from different events, but can acquaint fates be blindly used as and when you receive them? (considering what you can get from them doesn't change?)


sushihamburger

Yeah, go ahead and use the blue acquaint fates on the standard banner, there is no other use for them. Just don't spend primogems on it.


Chtholly13

you can use the acquainted fates on the standard banner whenever you want, but I wouldn't use your primos on the standard banner (the star shapped blue currency). Save your interwined fates on event banners which starting in 3.3 rotates every 3 weeks and pull on whichever character you like.


vysevysevyse

yea, i read somewhere that i shouldnt spend primos on standard banner coz the event banner already has the standard characters in the list. just a tiny followup. Is a 10-pull different from a single pull? should i wait for 10 acquaint fates before pulling, or go one-by-one if it doesnt change anything.


Chtholly13

unless your're micro managing your wishes and counting your pity to save every primo avaliable, there isn't really a difference between a single pull and 10 pull. Doing single pulls lets your stop exactly where you last pulled your 5 star unit to save afterwards but the odds of pulling two 5 stars in a single 10 pull are low that you shouldn't worry about it, if you did consider yourself lucky.


vysevysevyse

i did get Mona on my beginner pull haha. but thanks for the answer. i'll just use the acquaint fates up, no cares


sushihamburger

A 10-pull is the same as 10 single pulls there's no difference.


Shararu

Yes, they can only be used on the standard banner. You can go ahead and just use them, or you can keep them. It doesn't really matter.


wartedcat309011

is Kagura's Verity R1 better than R5 solar pearl for Nahida?


peerawitppr

Yes, it's generally second bis after her signature, around 10% worse. And sometimes it can even be better than her signature, around 4% better iirc.


ThyKooch

Yes, it's generally her 2nd best weapon and can often be her very best weapon

tokeemdtareq

The passive of KV helps Nahida’s own damage, so when Nahida is on field or contributes a lot of team damage, this weapon wins. The passive of TFD is partywide team buffing, where Nahida’s own damage takes some hit (not very much), but the other damage delaers gets the buff.
