Did KQM just give up on consistent updating?
I'm still waiting on an Emilie guide.
Is there a similar group to them?

Keqingmains runs on discord theorycrafters so character guides only release if a character is popular enough, and afaik emilie wasnt that popular. They're also doing mostly "quickguides" nowadays that are much short and lack the old days austistic depth like the chongyun guide.

I know genshin docs and genshin builds



Neither is as indepth as KQM but at least the basic artifact, stat and team stuff there.

There are also a ton of genshin youtubers out there but they're shills, biased or autistic and the most they ever do is test the character on current abyss, so you won't learn much beyond the surface level obvious but they exist.[/URL]

Thoma is reaaally bad before C4, he has terrible uptime and needs +300ER to maybe stand a chance to self battery as solo pyro, but the only good support spear is fav with low ER and you're not putting crit on him.
Kitain Cross Spear R5 refunds you 12-15 energy but you have to QE and gives EM substat which is nice for Burgeon

Also important thing to mention with how "thin" shields work is that even if enemy hitting you damages you more than the shield would tank (destroying the shield and damaging your HP) you still don't get staggered. Meaning thoma and baizhu shields don't really need to be huge if you have some healing on top of the shield and just think of it as a stagger resistance.

But yeah unless you have some double pyro team where thoma fits nicely don't put too much hope into him before C4.

Most their theorycrafting discord are just lazy fags who got new toy syndrome for other hoyo games, they made an infographic if you didn't catch it but its not much help.

Yeah I slapped Deathmatch on her.
Extremely satisfying to use Emilie with Arlecchino

Day whatever of no Kinichi. However I got a Xiangling because I fucked around in the abyss between farming ascension items and having side quest / random exploration ADHD.

As much as I like her as a character, I'll have to bench her because I already got Benny and Diluc as my Pyro mains.

I might keep her as a backup though because bias.

I got Lynette too which is nice because she's the only Ameno (When traveler is in Geo mode) I have so I'm currently building her, Benny and Xingqui.

May make them my secondary team because for some dumb reason, I'm kinda attached to my main team of Diluc, Aether, Kaeya and Lisa.

Lisa sucks ass though. I'm sorry

Did the puzzles in HRS too and they are actually pretty fun. I kinda hope they become future mini games.

Logged into WuWa and now I'm just farming to pull out my hair for Shorekeeper. I have the sense she's gonna elude me harder than Calcharo did.

E: I bookmarked the KQM, despite its evidently outdated information, for later usage because I don't have that many characters to work with.

Xiangling is literally the best pyro 4* support in the game in terms of consistent application for melt/vape teams. She snapshots Benny's buff as well and they are usually used together. Take up fishing and get the weapon "The Catch" in Inazuma and slap on the ER set and enjoy big pp numbers, especially with Xingqui. Add in someone to swirl and an electro unit and you have the National Team, which has been a consistent team in terms of power for 5 years now.

Take that info how you will, just wanted you to know that she's well worth building along with Benny, Xingqiu and Fischl.

Has anyone been able to finish this commission in under 3 minutes? Also, is it just me or are the new doppleganger enemies are really fucking annoying to fight? It feels like the attack indicators are not timed properly with the actual attacks so you just fucking die if you try dodging a little too early

Definitely requires food buff to make it. I don't remember exactly my timer was. Qingyi M2, Lucy M3, Corrin M5. Corrin has 51% Cr.Rate and 117% Cr.Damage. Qingyi has core skill upgraded to level E (or 5), my Corrin core skill was only level D back then.
I tried S11 and Koleda team comp in there. Not as good with Koleda obviously, I even think Soldier 11 dps isn't fast enough comparing to Corrin EX skill. Unfortunately, I even have S11 signature weapon.

There is some sprinting speed differences between characters. Like Koleda despite being small, somehow has a bit faster sprint than average.

Also, it's very important around your character near next waypoint immediately after fight (if you can) and grouping enemies together. Nicole has groupping with her blackhole, Qingyi with her spamming basic attack 3 and recently Caesar with her heavy basic attack.
Like chapter 4 "hard" mode, I can't S rank because the stage arenas' size is bigger to sprint through.

Yeah, the shadow Mors, Bellum and Pulchra are annoying. Mors and Pulchra with their time-wasting dodging. Mostly Mors imo, chip ranged damage. Here is me missing Shiyu Defense S rank by 1 minute because of them. I think if I focus on one (Bellum) then it could have gone better.

Although, I think S11 and Koleda are unfortunately slowly getting behind in their power.
 
No Kinichi still but I got Kujou Sara, Chevreuse and Dehya. I feel like I'm kinda drowning in Pyros but I digress.

Sara is great because now I finally got another ranged Electro and that four-star bow I randomly dumped on Amber can finally come into use. Also I can dump Lisa.

I've been having a lot of fun with Mona too. Her + Kaeya = constant freeze which is super fun to abuse. Her dash is great and it's my main form of transportation. I think she and hopefully one day, another two amenos, will be my exploration team.

No Shorekeeper yet but I did get fanservice. I haven't tried her yet; still leveling her up so she's somewhat able to stand on her own without being carried.

They really went all in on the animation for her. No wonder the comments on her wiki page are filled with simps and gooners.

Kuro LOVED giving Taoqi to me. Maybe Kuro is wiretapping me
 
So no Kinichi again (will have to wait for a rerun or pity if I'm lucky) but I did get Sayu which makes me super happy because now I can have that exploration team and that's very nice. Thanks to that user in here, who informed me of it.

Sara is on there for those random ranged challenges, Mona's dash is fantastic, even moreso with increased stamina and speed plus I'm in the midst of ascending her, Sayu is just backup because I haven't reached Inazuma yet to ascend her, and Lynette is pretty okay for quick swirl despite being capped at lvl 40.

The next banner characters don't really interest me, especially Xilonen, so I'm skipping for 5.2 because 5* ameno elf thot is needed and electric Batman fascinates me.

Chiori is also going for a rerun so if anyone got her, is she worth half-assed pulling for?

In the meantime, I'll be doing fetch quests for Childe and Zhongli.

I happen to have side quest autism so I run around and do everything else before I do the main quest. The story is picking up which is interesting. The Jiyan hype is very blatant with how many times we have to play as him which is what it is. Jiyan is great to use.

Nitpicks.
I was bummed to find out that the very early version of WuWa's story was quite different than what we have currently. I don't have all the details but characters had more detailed or different backstories, other characters show up actually (Calcharo specifically. His backstory was actually really interesting and explains so much about his abilities). Currently, the story itself is fine but there's some tiny moments that's a bit curious.

- Why the hell did Yuanwu show up during the attack on Jianzhou? Who is he even in relation to everything? It would have made more sense with Sanhua or someone we actually met before this.

- Why was Aalto suddenly so cordial with Taoqi when we spent the previous quest being wary of him considering he's a member of the Black Shores alongside Carmelya?

Also I got Taoqi in two separate 10 rolls. I think you passed some kind of jinx onto me, @RIPRhongoBongo

It's like a monkey's paw. "You shall get the fanservice but it's going to be a four-star"
