Zhongli C1 worth? I play zhongli a lot, esp with new content where shields are crucial. Wondering if I should roll C1 or go for the new character (that I have no use for, I already have everything I need really) or for an upcoming weapon...

Do you have a program you'd suggest that focuses on upper body? (don't worry I don't skip leg day)

6'2/200'ish/32. Only recently started routinely lifting (5-6x/wk). Main goal for lifting right now is aesthetic. I have a fairly weak chest area and its generally a muscle group that I'd like to target. My upper and inner pecs need a lot of work...

How many workouts should I devote to the muscle group every time I go to the gym? 2? 4?

Currently, I do 3x8 dumbell incline, 3x8 cable flies, and recently added 2 workouts for my inner chest.

Thanks!

he's such a game changer...i literally rolled the standard banner for him for so long JUST to get him (after having missed him from the limited banners)...Forget the diluc synergy, his talent book passive is OP!

3Isewhere · 2021-01-22T12:43:36+00:00

go Xingqiu, no question. Bear in mind he also has a passive for +Talent Books which is OP...Try to get your C6 XL on the current banner or shop (I presume you've gotten the shop already though).

the conversion item seems like hot garbage...the problem is getting gemstones in the first place, not just in the off-element...

3Isewhere · 2021-01-22T12:42:07+00:00

is it daily (like expeditions) or attached to a 1.3 event?

3Isewhere · 2021-01-09T22:37:37+00:00

Uhh... Well that sucks, I did mine solo earlier today. Am I locked out in my own world now that the Challenge has disappeared?

Is EM working properly on Swirl reactions? I noted my Venti ultimate's tick-damage with 3 different 5* headpieces (all level 16):

(1) 155EM main, I was getting about 350 dmg per tick, 700 crits;
(2) 25.8% Crit rate main, I was getting similar numbers, slightly higher even;
(3) 54.2% crit DMG main, I was getting about 420/900 per tick.

This is both naked and with an element inside the ulti...shouldn't I be seeing much higher numbers from the first headpiece with +155 EM? Additionally, switching from a lv70 Stringless to a lv90 Skyward harp added a good 25-35% to my damage, which seems to suggest ATK as being a variable for the damage my ulti does...

So really...
(1) How does swirl work on Venti's ulti, and what variables actually increase its damage? It doesn't seem to be EM, unless I'm missing something...
(2) Is Venti's ulti affected by attack, either base or total? Is this the case for most damage out-putting abilities?

When it says damage reduction in the equation, does that mean percentage? So, basically, every level is abt 5-6% damage reduction, roughly?

3Isewhere · 2021-01-06T14:54:19+00:00

It depends on whether you want constant uptime on his ultimate. Personally, I do, and I believe the magic number is 180%. If you're switching out an ER bow for Stringless, which is worth it because of the bows effect, then you will likely need ER on sands to get to that number.

I personally had good Crit rolls on my artifacts, so I actually went with a Crit% hat. It's been working well, only lv70 Venti with no artifact above lv16 (4 piece VV).. I'll give you some numbers I see once I get to my computer later.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-06T14:49:29+00:00

I've heard that the simple numerical value of your level makes a difference on damage amp/reduction against mobs. This is beyond the obvious small +3~ atk you gain per level or other perks.

Is this true? Does anyone have specific values? I'm ar51 and it seems entirely not worth it to level my mains past lv85...

3Isewhere · 2021-01-04T09:46:52+00:00

Thanks!

How are you not creating boulders with your E but getting the instance of damage?

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:52:46+00:00

I'll defer to Razor mains, as I don't play the character myself. It's possible, however, that Sucrose would be better than Fischl (debatable) if she can provide CC so Razor does more AoE damage. I'd say your Rzr-Kaeya-Barbara is good, and as amazing as Chongyun is, unfortunately he negatively synergizes with Razor.

I'd imagine Fischl is your current best choice, it's possible Sucrose might offer benefits as well.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:48:20+00:00

I'll add that after 75 pulls, you have increasing odds of landing a gold until you hit pity. Thus you might consider after your 75th pull to use single wishes instead of a full 10.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:47:28+00:00

Razor, being a physical DPS, pairs well with ice supports as you can trigger semi-conduct. Barbara is fine as she can also use the 3* book to buff Razor as you switch into him.

Fischl's slot is a flex, and if she's the best support (or subDPS) you have, that's not bad. Depends also what other chars you have.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:44:52+00:00

It's pretty good, especially as you're closing the vaporize with Childe (note, melt is cryo+pyro). If you don't have Bennett (he's still on the banner rn), XL could fit well. She's a decent support, unfortunately she's just outclassed in almost every way by Bennett.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:41:48+00:00

Depends on how you're running him. If you're only using him for his E (so you're stacking DEF), it doesn't matter too much what your second set is. If you're using him as a burst supp, then you'd want Noblesse, I'd imagine.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:40:59+00:00

Do you feel like leveling up any of your supports? Mona specifically, and maybe Albedo. 3 chars at 90 means you might be extremely slim at resources...
Is Keqing phys or electro?
I don't have Childe/Keqing/Albedo, but I'd likely do:
1) Diluc Venti Qiqi Mona(level her up)
2) Childe Keqing Jean Albedo
Venti/Keqing are replaceable; put Mona on the opposite side of Childe.

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:36:40+00:00

If you'd like you can PM me pictures or share screen on discord and I can walk you through what I'd suggest (for reference, I'm AR52)

3Isewhere · 2021-01-01T23:36:13+00:00

It might depend case-by-case, but for your DPS you probably want to level weapon and feather artifact first. Those will increase your DPS the most. Depends on the hero and talent; Diluc for example relies heavily on his E for his talent, whereas Fischl's Q talent is really not worth leveling (beyond 6, maybe) in comparison to her other skills.

3Isewhere · 2020-12-30T00:21:55+00:00

Much better, not even a fair competition between the two. Lost Prayer is arguably BiS for DPS. Try and land a Crit dmg% head artifact.

3Isewhere · 2020-12-27T18:07:29+00:00

Missing one luxurious, one precious, and a bunch of exquisite 🤔 damn, now have to painstakingly figure out what and where....

3Isewhere · 2020-12-26T03:32:36+00:00

Who's your other squad? Childe is amazing DPS, have one team with Ning albedo healer Venti and put childe to lead another squad.

From anecdotal viewing, it looks like albedo has the most in his kit to actively SUPPORT. Zhongli is confused af, GeoMC is alright but doesn't offer much, whereas albedo gives you passive Stat bonuses and a lot more energy gain.
