Also, i tried abyss 11 and wow i might actually not be able to 9* it now? Chamber 1 has to defend the monolith so a player with no big CC (venti,kazuha, etc) like should give up i guess? Chamber 3 has a fuckton of water boyos jumping at you and then some robots. How is this supposed to be an incentive to play geo/phys teams? Sounds like pyro vape and/or cryo freeze are better choices even with the leyline buff, even on floor 12.

From what I’ve seen of Abyss runs - I don’t have the teams properly built to even try hitting 12-3 - there’s definitely times the Abyss Effects should just be ignored. Barring things like the last effect just being “Energy Full? Here’s more damage!”, it’s just a way to to try and get people to whale on the Limited Banners, and by the time you have that particular character properly built the Abyss has probably rotated.
 
it ain't an unpopular opinion among my friends at least, but i think it's funny that there's some irony in bennett being the biggest loser in lore, but in game play has the most unga bunga playstyle of all. ain't no way they didn't do that on purpose, 10/10 writing

I know what you mean, what i'm saying is that current floor 11 and 12 dont seem to be good even for the current banner characters. For example, ayaka and yoimiya banners had pyro and cryo hipo at floor 11. Childe and hutao had Pyro and Hidro hipos. Those enemy lineups are self explanatory.

Current floor 11 has like, a monolith chamber and the final a ton of agressive hidro mimics and robots. This almost sounds like another pyro/cryo floor and not a geo/phys floor. Managed to beat the monolith with Diluc burst spam and ninguang wall, made me feel smart for once.

Floor 12 has rifthounds who resist everything, have 1 million hp, dodge away from bursts/melee and apply corrosion while still hitting very hard. Remember itto? Noele sounds like a better pick than him since she has shields and heal. The best strategy is actually permafreeze because it stops them from dodging/teleporting.

Also, can the game shut up about bennet's bad luck for a 5 seconds? I get it guys, his life sucks, he is sorry about it, it's okay cause we friends tho haha except not really since he's legit cursed. You cant play this shit for laughs and for drama at the same time.

that's just what it looks like, bennett has been in the game since launch and even in the mondstadt story he doesn't show up from what I remember - and it's not like mondstadt had a lot of events either (from the top of my head the fischl event in 1.1 and then windblume in spring, his hangout came out around the same time), since then we had mostly liyue and then inazuma. bennett's just included now because it's a mondstadt area and he's a 4* (5* stars are conveniently the ones featured in the banner), not much choice really. surprised they even had amber (prolly because she's eula's BFF), most people don't even remember genshin has free starter chars.

as for luck you have to remember it's a chinese game, and asia has a somewhat different concept of luck than we got in the west. even most weebs are not aware of it, they closest thing they know is the meme unfortunate character (sound familiar?), but not how and why. pair that with overly stereotyped characters and asian writing and it's easy to feel exhausting.

The plant fuck was annoying. I had to restart the whole, unskippable cutscene to trigger a story bossfight (the talk to Eula thing) & it started when I went to the toilet for a second. Also, maybe it's just me, but I didn't get any medals from the plant, so IS it just me? I have a feeling cause the "red challenge thing" which showed up before I restarted the cutscene, but not later on when I did the bossfight & after the later cutscene for the story you get after defeating the plant. I tried the "Go to Challenge" thing from the event page, but it just opens the map, nothing else.

pretty sure story fight doesn't give you medals, that's more like a tutorial.
the "go to challenge" is just so people know where to go. it's the same for other stuff, sometimes you can directly teleport there (instanced event stuff usually offers that) or has one close by (adventure guild etc.), but mostly it's just to point people in the right direction.

technically real geo is the next cycle with the itto banner. current blessing works on crystalize reactions which is pretty much made for albedo and noelle.
wouldn't be surprised mihoyo expects whales to roll on both banners now (albedo for the blessing, eula for the nuke). it's not like whales really have a spending limit anyway, I assume they looked at the weapon banner pulls, if they are as shit as I expect (unattractive for casuals and whales don't need to spend as much on it now, last weapons were hit or miss), they gotta make up for that somehow.

Actually true as fuck lmao I didn't even consider that. CORROSION IS A THING NOW and Noelle is the only fucking Geo healer. Holy shit Ittou is just a straight up downgrade from C6 Noelle.
For me in this abyss cycle national team (XQ/Ben/Suc/XL) carried the first half while I just threw together a mono geo team (Ning/Zhong/Albedo/Noelle) for the second half. I do cut it a little close on the Kenkies and floor 12-3 but overall I found it about as difficult as last abyss.

Also I saw a tweet that said we now officially have 3x the DPS requirement in abyss than what we did during 1.0 which I thought was funny. Literally 3x as hard but the same exact reward. I do appreciate some of the scaling down on resin theyve done (adding condensed, increasing the cap to 160, giving discounts for weeklies, giving fragiles on the BP) But I think we're due for another resin upgrade. We have shittons of characters, weapons, and domains to do but have been running on the same amount of resin for almost a year now (or maybe it has been a year since the change to 160 by now idk)

HIs backstory is really surprisingly dark (and the of course a cursed sword is one of his best weapons) but he forms a pretty good in game and in lore party with the other loveable weirdos like Fischl and Razor.
 
I finally defeated that cold plant cunt enough times, I pretty much bought the whole shop now.

Here's the most newfag efficient way on mobile to go through:

Basically, I'm WL1 so easy mode to a low extent & admittedly, the plant can get annoying at times, but just in Single Player it'll take you around 10-12 rounds of the plant boss to get all required Emblems. It's like 1 hour of grind at best, tho I played on mobile, so it could be what led to 3-4 mins of each round (Archery is hard on mobile, so I just used Geo MC to create rocks to climb & hit airborne crystals).
LucasSomething said:
You dont get the same medals from the plant, you get emblems which is a different currency for a different shop. I dont recommend aiming for R5 archaic, the passive aint that great and isnt worth 4 billets. You mostly use it since it's a decent 4* f2p claymore.

>I tried the "Go to Challenge" thing from the event page, but it just opens the map, nothing else.

That actually happened to me too, but i just went back to the previous place and found the challenge there. The game was apparently updated out of nowhere just a bit ago while i was playing, maybe to fix this.

If you dont have bennet then you might think he's a tragic character from this event but he's portrayed as this huge loser. It's like the game forgot that Bennet isnt just unlucky, he's a huge loser too but now he's sad about it.

Also, i tried abyss 11 and wow i might actually not be able to 9* it now? Chamber 1 has to defend the monolith so a player with no big CC (venti,kazuha, etc) like should give up i guess?

I'm F2P myself, so Archaic is the best I can think of, after the fish. Which I missed. I've yet to go on a summoning spree.

I like Bennett, but he just seems like those good bro characters who just got fucked by life.

I wanted to do the same & go there myself to check again at the time, but I forgot where it was, & needed to charge my phone.

I confused the name, but I was talking about the emblems you get from defeating the plant.

I literally don't wanna fight this fucker again, & I really don't need to cause I bought the whole shop.

To be fair, Itto should, in theory, hit harder than noele but i dont know if the trade off is worth it. Itto has to get stacks, has a more costly and shorter burst (70 cost 18 cd 11 secs), loses burst on switch. His only true advantage is actual energy regen with his skill (3-4 particles every 10 seconds?).

Also, the devs want to push itto/albedo/gorou but Noele synergizes better much better with them since she covers both the shielder and healer roles so your 4th slot can be anybody. She also gets 130% def conversion at c6 lvl 12 burst while itto gets ~98% at 9 so she gets more from defense buffs.

If you're on mobile and want to get ganyu, be aware that her charge shot playstyle is probably hard af there. She probably be played fine as a subdps caster and her taunt would be more useful.

Archaic is okay, i'm only saying it's not worth refining to R5. 480% atk every 15 seconds is actually pretty pathetic and even then it's physical dmg so it's not noticiable outside Eula and Razor.

Billets are extremely rare so dont refine craftables unless it's an extremely good weapon that works on a bunch of people (like amenoma). I'm playing this game for +4 months and i have yet to drop a spear billet from weeklies, we're probably get a new continent with new craftables before i get a new one...

Typical chink gacha. All cock, no cum.

I don't know much about fishing at all or even other stuff much due to not going further in the game yet (too lazy to even begin Liyue prologue), but I do know that teapot literally became speedrunning a pseudo stock market thing.

 
Thoma reached friendship level 10 today, which means that I have not only maxed all of my characters' friendships, but I've done twice as many as I actually needed to for any meaningful reward.

it's just long term stuff for a measly sum of primos, either you play long enough to do it on the side or you quit before that point, so it never really matters. it really is people first gatcha (or anything with a hint of timesink apparently). 50k per week is also less than a single leyline, rep rewards alone give 3 times as much.

Kek yeah, I'm still farming friendship for some reason even though I'm far passed that achievement.

you need a certain rank for all dialog options in the tea pot, and of course it gives name cards to e-peen with (and lore entries if you wanna read those).

I love how all Geo units give classy, nobility, sophisticated vibes, then there's the card collecting, delinquent, NEET as Geo user now. Same with Diluc being fucking Batman while most Pyro users being optimists. It almost feels like someone made a mistake for second while choosing elements.

pretty much all electro users are chuuni weirdos too, not that i'm complainin.

tangent but i'm very curious as to what's the in-lore basis for who gives visions and how in the first place. we know the reasons for it is having a very strong sense of purpose and whatnot, but raiden denies her ability to give visions and says something along the lines of it's out of her control.

oh, and don't forget about how kazuha literally uses two visions right now but we just ignore that because plot reasons wink wink
