I really hope the twitter pedo shit doesn't like just completely taint Klee's reputation. She's a really funny character conceptually, pretty much the equivalent of if Ralph Wiggum learned how to make bombs. Maybe not the exact same kind of bumbling innocence as Ralph, but there's definitely a similar kind of energy to her.

There's no other explosion based character aside from Klee as far as I know. It'd be kinda cool if they made a character with a similar playstyle that lobbed ice chunks that exploded into shards or something instead of shooting exploding fire lasers. It's fun as hell when you manage just go and stun lock and juggle enemies with just a series of well placed lasers and bombs, and I've never really gotten that same controlled chaos kinda experience from other characters I've unlocked. Everyone else is like "uhh shoot arrow?,stab? spinny thing? thing launches and hits a few enemies with a little homing attack maybe?" Meanwhile Klee's just like over there killing everything including herself with her own moves. Not because of some health bar drain stipulation like other characters, but because the grass and everything else is covered in hellfire and explosions. Definitely not as efficient as some character movesets, but a lot more fun gameplay wise for me.

Despite having quite a few characters unlocked, my party keeps pretty much having to default to "NOT LINK", Klee, Qiqi, and Fischl. Considering you NEED an archer and healer to a degree options are limited as hell, and the combo I've got set up seems to be the most efficient setup for elemental reaction damage bonuses. Sending a horde of enemies off to their deaths in inescapable flaming tornados is the best shit to watch. When you line up the shot right they just drop fucking dead.

I know. I don't mind cute characters like klee. It's not a lot of paedo coomers but just something to keep an eye on.

I wouldn't mind Hu Tao frankly. She's a bit more erratic as a character than amber.

I really want to level up Hu tao but for some absolutely dogshit reason they made it so you need to grind the Geo Lizard thats a pain in the ass to fight to get her ascension items and I really haven't been feeling up to it. I actually have 2 characters that require fighting that thing to level up and it's utter hell. You'd think with her being a pyro all you'd need would be the regisvine but NO They had to put the geo lizard rewards as her ascention material thing after the first tier. Absolute bullshit.

the geo lizard is easy if you have diona or noelle to pop shields up and the shields do like 70-80% of the dmg to the thing anyways.

I have noelle and xinyan but the sheild damage doesnt really seem to do much to the fucking thing. Who knows,maybe I'm doing something wrong.

you're supposed to pop the shields up and then combo reactions for damage while the thing is down. it's tedious but simple.

I do that yeah, still takes a fuckload of time to kill the damn thing unless I'm in a lower ranked world than my own.

Diona and Noelle’s shields work on that big fucker?

Well, I feel retarded now, I’ve been using Zhongli and just hoping the Shield Gems don’t spawn under the big fuck.

I swear to god, in the few months I played the game I had like two five stars, one a fucking grimoire and the other was Hu Tao who I used around 70 wishes for. Not only does the god of gacha hate me, but the only explanation seems to be that the mercy for 100 rolls bugged out on my account because I almost certainely had 200+ wishes from story and regular play.
Anyways sobbing aside, two newbie questions:
1. Are there are dishes that can be made entirely from materials you can buy?
2. How does the "get 12 stars from the abyss" challenge work?

1 Yes, it gets expensive quick.
2 Beat enough time challenges in abyss for the bonus

You mean you havent been autistically hoarding hashies and peaces for the last 2-3 months?

Fr though they are the best foods in terms of effort to healing
Hashbrowns - Jam from sugar and sunsettas (sugarplants, berries, and sunsetta are everywhere) + pinecones (pretty common. you can get a handful daily at the qingce village bridge) + potatoes (bought iirc)
Universal Peace - Rice (bought) + Lotus Heads (a little uncommon but you can pick up like 10~ a day at Luhua Pool) + Carrots (not worth the price but you can buy 20 or so a day or just pick up the 15~ behind the southmost house at Dawn Winery) + Berries (again theyre fucking everywhere)
Most of these ingredients you probably already have a massive stack of if you havent been using them + youre like me and pick up everything you walk passed.

You can flip through your history if you need to recount. Just multiply the amount of pages since your last 5-star by 6. Each banner is its own seperate pity though. So if you do 45 standard rolls and 45 event rolls its not like that counts as 90 pity. Theres no way you got 100 rolls and no 5-stars. (edit: It is actually pretty unlucky to actually have to hit the hard pity (90 rolls) to get your 5-star though, so maybe thats what happened. You usually get your 5-star within rolls 60-80)

>2. How does the "get 12 stars from the abyss" challenge work?
At the abyss you can get 9 stars a floor. After you've already gotten all the stars for floors 1-8, you can start on floors 9-12 which reset once every two weeks. For each floor you can get 50 primos per 3 stars and a bunch of mora.

You can collect an additional batch of Lotus Heads and other ingredients from the daily Expeditions. I personally make a bunch of Sweet Madames, it may not be the most efficient, but it's a simple recipe + Rosaria makes it pretty good. Additional tip: Collecting ores from the Expedition counts towards your 10 ore collecting daily quest.
It seems like simple info, but a few people I know have just completely missed Expeditions, since they still thought they locked characters out.

 

[Alexander Thaut]

god i hate how much gold i need to get a character close to geared.

hu tao is worth it tho.

Yeah, agreed, easy one access to decent materials that also go towards your battle pass for mining.

mining is easy. just be sure to mark ore deposits on map. Ningguang's talent shows them.

Oh yeah that too. Though personally I just do the Ores + Mora expeditions

The worst is the fucking talents. Weapons, levelling, artifacts are already a decent sum but when you level talents to level 8 or higher it starts to cost millions.

Thanks, I didn't notice the history option. So it took me 70 general wishes to get Skywards Atlas, though I almost certainly dipped a bit into the character flag and had the 20 mandatory wishes. Which, if they aren't separate means I really got the pity. Afterwards it's around 70 more for Hu Tao...
Really it shows how insane the pricing on wishes are when playing the game couple of months and paying twice for a daily boost for a monrh barely got enough wishes for two five stars. Can't help but wonder if this will fuck the game in the long run since it very much motivates hoarding which will make most people lose interest. Of course the whales pay for the game, but having a lively f2p community is a good way to attract more users.

Hoarding is more satisfying in its own way compared to paying for top ups. I know its literally luck but it feels more satisfying when you have to save up for months, then get to drop a giant ass spirit bomb on the banner youve been waiting for. Its satisfying seeing your primogems go up too.

So, I bit the bullet, seeing as I dislike the vine bosses, I started with the electro hypostasis and I've started to build up Beidou. From there I'll try the cryovine and build up the others.

I also started seriously, for the first time, looking at the best artifact builds for each character and started using condensed resin more in different realms. I want to get out of this rut.

Oh, yeah. I also got Rosaria under the current banner.

 

[Pipi420]

This fucking faggot nigger game gave me this from standard after I failed to get Rosaria

Congratulations now enjoy literally never being satisfied with your artifacts on any character

 

[Genichiro]

For artifacts, just save the pieces with important main stats, then consider the sub ones.
A perfect one, as we know will have 4 of the most desirable, but since GI's rates composed of only and and jigsaw puzzles. Knowing when you are done with the farm and cut losses is winning half of the mind games dealing with autistic RNG.

For example, Electro Cup with flat DEF, Crit DMG and Rate ? That's good enough unless you need the other set pieces. Even the refining results end up boosting that def stat.. well, use that resin !

This spear is 2nd BiS for multiple spear characters, might come in handy sooner or later. Thought it was limited to seasonal banners.
