For anyone wanting to pull future characters in WuWa, do note that leaks allegedly claim that Zani is heavily dependent on Phoebe, and Phrolova on Cantarella (dedicated supports). Plan accordingly!

That sucks. I want Zani, but was planning on skipping Phoebe since I have Jihnsi.

Careful, both Furina and Wriothesley work optimally on C2 and C1 respectively, assuming you're concerned about performance.

Thankfully I don't care too much. I just really want them both. Wrio is the one to blame for getting me into Genshin to begin with.

I'm still not over how he torpedoed my Jinyan hunt. And I like Sephiroth and I main him but fuck me man, I've gotten him so many times, it's unreal.

Had completely forgotten Verina is on the standard banner too btw.

Skip.

Even harder skip. I find her weird baby face kinda creepy and I hear tell she's another Rover simp.

She's too cool not to pull for. I am still dreaming of a Scar Christmas though.

I hear tell she's dependant on Phoebe. That's a shame but I'm gonna pull for her anyway because she's like one of the two only characters I like of the new gang.

In genshin-related news, I've fallen down the rabbit hole of fucking around with Fontaine's world quests instead of its main quest.

Also began doing half-assed pulls for Arle so I have something to fall back on when Furina and Wrio rerun.
 
got lucky on genshin, triggered the new 'capturing radiance' mechanic or whatever at 25-30 pulls, it has some cool visual effects like a blur/glitch error when you try to skip the pull animation.

finally, C1 for my almost year old Arlecchino.

Starting to rebuild my Genshin primo hoard again after burning most of it this patch. I'd like to get Arle as well, but the problem is I have so many characters I just don't use that I don't want to add one more to the pile. Lantern Rite finally got me to get off my ass and finish building Hu Tao so I have a decent 5* pyro that isn't Mavuika. (I've got Yoimiya built but she lives in the bow squad team permanently)

The only reason to build many characters is to do theater that resets tomorrow. You don't have to make them top tier either, even my mediocre yanfei can clear a fodder water mimic room. It's "more value" than Abyss since it gives actually limited rewards.

I know i shat on it when released but theater is mostly okay now as long as you have 22 characters to get max buffs and a few elite dps to clear bosses. You can ignore the time limit stars and it's nowhere close to abyss difficulty, but luck can still make it a lot harder than it needs to be.

I was holding out for her weapon or Clorinde's sword, but I got spooked a couple weeks ago by Citlali's sig — its passive is useless for everyone but her and the new four star, and I didn't pull for Citlali.

I have no one to blame but myself.
Click to expand...

It's a good EM stick for nahida and subdps baizhu (copium) and dps yanfei C4 can use it but yeah, it's not great outside citlali. Even on her it's not an insane boost when TTDS exists.

If it helps you can always get a Jade Spear at random on standard or weapon banner, it's top 2-3 at worst. I had two for years and no one to use until i got arle.

And btw how long did you farm arlechino set and do you think it was worth it? If you didn't craft that goblet that's a lottery win lol.

I'll probably use it on Nahida, although I'll have to see if it's worse than an R5 Sacrificial Fragments in terms of utility.

I lucked out on one on my original account back during the 2.X patches, however my current account has been utter dogshit when it comes to giving me anything good from standard, or any good polearms in general. What am I supposed to do with the fourth Tighnari in a row??

No lol I just crafted it. The goblet and feather were from the gadget, the others from the domain. Just barely dodged a bullet, sometimes you craft a perfect artifact and it all goes into flat defense or some shit. :stress:

That's mostly why I'm building them as well, although my definition of built is talents at 9/9/9, artifacts with the right main stat from the right set and an ok weapon. For Mihoyo to get me to do the artifact grind where I give a shit about substats Dawei needs to personally suck my dick and give me a C6 Ganyu.

It also gives me something to do, as I barely spend resin now as it is, I prefer exploring the world to grinding domains over and over.

If it helps, characters that don't depend on crit values can be useful if you don't wanna do the mind numbing rat race of farming artifacts — reaction teams with Hyperbloom, Aggravate, etc were extremely strong and are still good now, all you need to do is stack enough EM from your weapon and main stats and you're all set.

I use sac frags on her and the passive is mostly useless cause her skill has 6s cd (unless you missed it on cleared the instantly), it's just a 4* em stick and citlali's weapon is a 5* em stick with +100 em for free.

At least white tassel is genuinely viable on arle. Assuming bennet buff, Deathmatch is only 3-5% better allegedly. The event spears are really good too, the next patch has a ER spear that gives +40% atk and 40% atk speed (!) for 10s after skill so sadly not great on arle (no uptime). Because mihoyo loves giving us more xiangling spears.

Use him lol, tighnari is not top tier but he's viable on some single target bosses with only 3* bow. His cons are also relatively good and "at least it's not 4 qiqis".

Thats my greatest fear and it held me back from crafting anything lol. They're going to buff elixir-crafted artifacts to ensure the first 2 rolls go on the selected substats so wait until 5.5 for the next one if possible.

My arle is 92/154 on gladiator so she's fine for now, guess i'll make a emblem crit hat cause all the 4 i have are mid.

Agravate/spread still wants as much crit and dmg bonus you can get but also some decent EM so in my experience are not that much easier to build (EM is rarer than atk afterall).

Hyperbloom is pretty easy tho, you only need nahida and kuki with full EM (you farm that on the same domain), then put a hydro enabler. If anything it lowered the skill ceiling so much it was responsible for sumeru enemy powercreep.

My main overworld team is Hyperbloom (Nahida, Furina, Raiden, Ganyu), so that's fine. I can clear all overworld and normal mode content easily, so I mostly just build characters to fuck around with when sniping things from half way across Teyvat with Ganyu gets old. Like when I switch to Neuvillette so I can power wash the sin off the Eremites for a laugh.

I fucking hate the Drills By Lamplight so much it's unreal. How the fuck does an event has powercreep in it.
Click to expand...
at least it's a one and done deal, the other event was way worse, and IT is a monthly annoyance. months later and RNG can still fuck you over and make you restart, because you just HAVE to kill that boss with a fucking timer. eat shit hoyo, if I wanted to do abyss I'd do abyss.

Lost my Jinsi 50/50 to E1 Verina. Hopefully Shorekeeper comes back around soon since I have two solid DPS and decent Sub and Support options.
Click to expand...
least verina is useful in second tower team, however she's spectro so bit less useful for jihnsi iirc.
shokie should re-run in 2.2, 2.1 is XY + changli unless they run three 5* (unlikely).

Thing is, that one 'n done deal is (unless I'm wrong) required for event completion, mainly the outfit & free character (honestly, to an extent, the furniture too). I literally wouldn't care about this after doing it twice, if it weren't for those things.

I think you get more than you need, I noticed that during the 5.1 event where I didn't bother with the higher tiers and still unlocked everything.
this one is more like IT that you need the right characters to trigger the effects, then it mostly easy (which funny enough reminds of the pincer event in wuwa), the behemoth event and 5.1 were way more blatant about raw numbers.

The game literally gives you trial characters so unless you are an omega retard I don't understand how you can't hit the cap for rewards on it. I'm sorry but outside of the specific whale content events like the boss one we just had, self-reporting that you struggle on this level furthers hoyo's point that half their playerbase are literal gamer infants who need their "square goes into the square hole" events to get rewards.

Side note: one of their current Lantern Rite web events is exactly this but with dolls you pose. The more you know.

Anyway I've reached 70 ish pity for Astra and I'm okay with losing her even if I need another Ether unit. I just hope it's a character I don't already have but alas I only have Wolf Butler and Rina of the standard banner S ranks.

And I really don't want Nekomata. Here's to hoping for Soldier 11.

That way I'll save my guarantee for Evelyn because I love how she plays and for me at least, she goes well with Lighter on a pure fire team.
