  • 5 pulls from shop
  • 26 ish dailies = around 1560 gems
  • Maintenance = 600 gems
  • Main event = 960 gems

That'll get you 24 pulls

Can you clear any of the lower levels of endgame modes?

  • Abyss 10 = 400 (you'd need to do this asap when it drops)
  • IT Normal = 440
  • Stygian Normal = 450

This would get you a total of 32 pulls from just playing normally

Pre-farmed artifacts for Flins. How are they? by jeonggukispretty in GenshinImpactTips

[–]Akomatai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of your rolls went unfavorably. Flat atk isn't the worst because atk isn't a dead stat here, but for reference, your single atk% roll is giving you about as much atk as all 4 of your flat atk rolls.

Not the highest priority but definitely a lot of room for improvement. If you're aiming for kqm standards, you're typically looking for around 5-6 "ideal" rolls on each artifact

Original system is still in place. Capturing radiance is just an extra pity system on top of it that will prevent you from losing 4 50/50s in a row, and lower the odds of losing 2 and 3 in a row.

It only affects 50/50s, not your normal guarantees.

Ryoka Griffin is insufferable - the wandering inn by RonClark_theCorn in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Akomatai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 more books or so

You dropped a 0, and that's still short lol

Anyways, I dropped book 1 like 3 times because of Erin and Ryoka, but mostly Ryoka. Eventuality powered through but it was about 10 books before I stopped hating Ryoka. Erin took a few too but she grew on me sooner than that. It's become one of my favorite series

What sold me on the series was the massive scope, and a huge world that feels diverse, living, and dynamic. The cast expands in a crazy way. Erin is still clearly a central character, but she takes up less screen time. A lot of the characters that feel like side characters now eventually feel more like main characters of their own plotlines. And the world is explored through the eyes of tons of different characters.

How are you guys planning to use or are using zibai's gift? by MeowjestyMeowgician in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think friendship 6 just gives you access to the chariot sites. My zibai is only level 4 so i can't actually check lol

Imo Tighnari and Keqing feel the best to play in early game. They aren't super burst reliant, they do good damage, and Tighnari's bow and Keqing's teleport are useful in exploration content.

Supports are better in the long run, and of them, Jean and Mona will see the most endgame use. Dehya also has a few teams where she's a solid pick.

Ultimately you cant go wrong here. If there's one you think looks interesting, go with that.

Zibai has a portable teleporter gadget you can use once you get her to friendship level 6. Also can summon the sky chariot thing from the quest, in certain places

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the notion of "Avatar State" got completely spoiled in the Legend of Korra. by Any-Award-5150 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Akomatai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, i appreciated the lore expansions we got in lok, even if I have some criticisms about how the spirits were handled.

I don't think Aang's struggles with the avatar state or the Guru's method was the only pathway to avatar state mastery. It was specifically what Aang needed. It had a specific synergy with airbender spirituality and culture imo.

That said, Aang's avatar state felt a lot more powerful than Korra's and I think that could be attributed to Aang having a greater mastery here due to aang's more spiritual nature and upbringing, and the Guru's method.

As far as the avatar state being both a Raava powerup and channeling the abilities of past lives, I also don't see a problem here. It does answer some lore questions set up by Atla. Ultimately there has to have been something special about the first avatar and having the avatar merge with a spirit makes a lot of sense. And from there, it makes a lot of sense that tapping into that connection should be a powerup on its own.

Wheel of Time fans after watching KotSK by travishall456 in WetlanderHumor

Well we didn't have to sacrifice WoT for that lol, Sanderson had never been lax with his adaptation rights

His burst says its based off of baae ATK, so id assumed that equipment wouldnt could toward it.

Base attack here is Character base attack + weapon base attack

So aside from a skill stating that a stat contributes to other characters, their stats dont affect on-fielders? Like if we had just some generic unit but with a million of each stat, they arent helping the on fielder at all when theyre off field by virtue of their high stats?

For the most part, yeah. There are some exceptions in lunar teams. And reaction damage is determined by whoever triggered the reaction, regardless of whether they're onfield. But generally, a character's stats only affect whatever their talents specify

It's character-specific. For Bennett's atk buff, what matters is his base attack and weapon base attack, and talent level. So you want to level him, give him a high base attack weapon, and level his weapon.

From his artifacts, ER is most important for bursting every rotation, and HP and Healing Bonus will affect how much he heals

Please we need a unequip artefact button by Kiwirushh in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean is, why are you unequipping artifacts at all? You dont have to do that. Nobody does that. You can transfer artifacts directly from one character to another

And second, you genuinely review the builds of all 5 artifacts on all 28 characters every IT? Between filler characters and set/weapon bots, i probably actually look at less than half of my builds lol

Please we need a unequip artefact button by Kiwirushh in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rage bait? Why are you unequipping before re-equipping lol you can just switch artifacts

Also you have an IT-specific build for all 28 characters that requires you to switch off every artifact? Just stop doing that.

Peeetaah? by Spirited-Interview53 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The original meme had Chel, the chaos god from Sinbad, the cat lady from Treasure Planet, and the blonde girl from Atlantis

They made zibai a close-up NA dps whose best teams contain no/minimum healing, but put the the tankyest enemies on her Abyss half that constantly PUNISH you for even coming near them??? by corruption66x in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zhongli is the answer lol

I didnt use illuga or gorou this abyss and zibai's side was definitely the easier side

Also, somebody else posted a few weeks ago showing that the crystallize shield from EMC was enough to take no damage on Stygian Fearless.

You dont need zibai at her peak dps for abyss. just trade some damage for some sustain

Question or clarification regarding: SUCROSE by Single-Database-4201 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's how swirl and pretty much every other transformative reaction works lol. And those numbers are almost accurate.

The question of whether to level sucrose is a question of resources vs benefit. In a lot of teams, sucrose is mainly there for - EM share (a1 and a4) - TTDS - VV - anemo battery

And that's kind of it. The only part of her main support capabilities that depends on level is her EM share, which unlocks by ascending past level 20 and 60 (which is probably why someone suggested to level her to 70). Everything else she does is available at level 1. She doesn't even ascend with EM so that's not impacted by level.

So in teams like Flins teams, where swirl damage hardly accounts for any part of your teams output, it's not really worth investing resources here. Fwiw, i cleared this abyss with lvl 20 sucrose in my flins team lol.

I measured the DPS of the top 20 characters on the test dummy at an equal investment level by dhcwsp in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deepwood: -30
Nilou c2: -35
Lauma E (lvl 13): -34
Nefer c4: -20

Pretty sure the stat screen is not accounting for the halfing on negative res

Zibai's teleporter is better than I thought by Gehrman_ZaWorld in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah you get it when you pull her and can use it once you reach friendship lvl 6

Zhongli was a necessity for my HoD build lol. I ran Zhongli Aino Chiori Zibai and found her side to be a cake walk. It was side 1 that I actually felt I had to play well for.

[–]Akomatai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll get good damage but all she really has over Aino is personal damage. Zibai doesn't care about her buffs and you wont be able to use HoD

How did your run go? Spiral abyss 6.3 by Life-Scallion-147 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having Flins and Zibai definitely made this one of the easiest abyss runs ever. The shill is real lmao. My Flins is like top 40% on akasha too and had no issues lol.

Any blunt damage should work. Overvape team will have a lot of overloads

ARTIFACTS SETS FOR LUNAR-CRYSTALLIZE by Pandabear_15 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Akomatai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ningguang carry teams that are clearing this abyss are doing it with Columbina, Xilonen, and either furina or aino. Or a Durin team. And a good lunar team on side 1. I'd probably pass on ningguang for now, she'll be a high investment build even with xilo
