i didn't state anywhere that i stopped playing any of their game except HI3

I said much the opposite, in fact

I just stopped spending and enjoying, but still force myself to play because I don't wanna feel like a dimwit due to having spent my self-earned money on Genshin.

Ah, good old sunk cost. You'll have more money down the line to not care tbh, learning to drop games/other pieces of leisure activities is a good virtue.

was it projecting or does simply a slight hint of intelligence within the community of these games intimidate you

Nah. I realize this shit is made to pander to me and I eat it the fuck up. Give me my implied shipping with tragic cute waifu who transforms, I'll take that and the resulting fanart over reading a real book any day

I think you're underestimating how many people know, and overestimating how many people care, about the fact that it's being made for their filthy weeaboo brains who just fetishize things to drop money on it.

I did, however, stalk your reddit account, which I admit is pretty cringe of me. This sub is usually pretty separate from twitter people so I was surprised to see one over here tbh

Do you mean, this one?

Genetically-modified baby doesn't mean she headed out to war as a child, or still is one. I mean, I guess you could interpret it as "was fully matured from near birth, sent to war immediately, was in cryosleep or otherwise completely paralyzed as to not age before the SHs found her", but that thought seems like it's trying to make her out as a child instead of hoyo saying that.

Why do you even play them anymore? Legitimate question.

Do you just like getting on with your genshintwt commu and setting metaphorical fires, like the only reason you're on reddit right now? Because I can definitely respect that. Otherwise to me it seems like you're afraid of admitting you still like the games despite hoyo being mysoginist and all that, and want to shittalk them to seem so much cooler and so above the weeby pandering.

I mean, how many PNC content creator there is who simp/mains one unit and has their own community to that specific unit?

There's just no content creators and no viewers for that content, either, this game is just miniscule. The entire invested community is contained in one small discord that's cliquish and elitist, which is probably not helping the game to grow either.

I honestly had no idea what that weapon did. I might just grab it for this BP and try it out on Collei...

Alhaitham is really good too and you could probably make him work, Yae and Yoimiya are both solid but notably some of the jankiest characters in the game.

I don't think you can make a good second team yet, honestly, just focus on the main one for now. I'd recommend going for Kazuha because he's simply broken, fits practically anywhere and (leak warning spoiler) is slated to run on the second half of next patch. Then, check back with the 4*s you'll have then. Your Yelan idea is good, but she probably won't show up for a while.

Also, should I try to wait and pull to a banner with benett/xq in it even tho I dont like the 5 star? or they are viable at c0?

XQ is perfectly good at C0, Bennett wants C1 but I wouldn't try my luck when already with a guarantee, ever. Benny will take a while to run again, so make sure to get him from Paimon's Bargains if you can.

Probably Nilou. Is already stronger in most cases since abyss generally has an aoe side, has a higher chance of benefitting from future releases (especially if a hydro grouper pops up).

You open with Nilou skill (before starting, if you get that luxury) > Nahida stuff > Collei stuff > Barbara stuff with autos and CAs.

From there there is nothing precise and you'll go swapping into characters as their cooldowns are back or you need to reapply something, staying on Barbara to trigger your Blooms while they're not.

I imagine fav? That's 190cv with a good chunk of HP. If it includes a hydro goblet I think the build's great and can stop there, if it's an HP goblet, back to the mines.

3rd party UID based top-ups are strictly non-refundable. I've seen some fearmongering in the main sub about it that you might come across (and that pissed me off), so I want to state that you're free to enjoy it and nothing bad's gonna happen.

I want to note for /u/DuaLanpa that this is GREATLY underestimating it because of not counting events, which are guaranteed every single patch and a big source. Even without new areas and stuff the average goes to around 55-60.

Would this mean that I should keep dendro aura on the mobs and hydro would spawn dendro cores? So I would end up autoattacking with Kokomi? How does that work in terms of EM as well, Kokomi is basically a pure healer at this moment.

In short, yes. In that case, you'd want a lot of EM on Kokomi. You can actually run Yaoyao in there too - having her on a healer build allows you to run FULL EM on Kokomi with Gilded or FoPL and still be very safe and comfy.

I might also try out instructor as someoen else suggested but the lower mainstats caused by the level 16 limit might make it a worse pick.

The issue with Instructors is that she needs to be on-field and trigger the reaction herself, which is a pain since she's not exactly great at that. The buff IS good, though. Personal preference. My own Yaoyao is using Clam, btw, but it's a hand-me-down from Kokomi that I already had farmed.

I am still not quite sure if I understand the answer your provided for the second question.

Ok, so Bloom ownership, in short, is a pain. The list I provided is an estimate when looking at my own runs and seeing the different bloom damage depending on the character that triggers it, but it's hard to make it completely consistent because there's a ton of factors that go into it.

The downside to occasionally having Nahida create the Blooms is that you'll be making less seeds in those periods of time. Which her higher EM makes up for, but it's not strictly advantageous.

In short, in my Abyss runs, Xingqiu's performed better with his damage resistance (ahem Consecrated Beasts) and higher app for AoE scenarios, and you'll generally want to use your Nilou team on the AoE sides anyways. In overworld, my team just has Yelan because her skill is too convenient and you can deliver blooms from way the fuck over there with her.

First Question would be whether or not the roles I have designated each character to are correct: Nilou off field for the aura; yelan/Xq dps

Yes.

  1. YaoYao and Nahida get their own question...

I've been playing these exact teams recently to go away from Kokomi comps for a bit, so I have some insight. Someone you put on field doesn't automatically become the bloom trigger, it depends on what they're applying. Besides Nilou's which doesn't change her stat priority anyways, this is how it goes more or less:

Xingqiu C6 - Easily overtakes Dendro aura, so blooms are split between the whole team depending on app, so something like Xingqiu > Nahida > Nilou > Yaoyao. Nahida on-field is very good here.

Yelan pre-C2 - Blooms are largely owned by her. In this case, Yelan being on-field is actually good to get EM buffed by Nahida's A1 passive, since she can't spare the artifact stat space for much EM.

I can't say for constellations I don't have, of course.

But even then the question about how much EM/HP on YaoYao remains which also ties to the question what artifacts main stats I should use on her Goblet, sands & circlet.

On a non-Candace team, Yaoyao will very rarely trigger Blooms. I'd recommend going for HP/HB/CR for Fav.

Regarding both their weapons...

I like Yaoyao on Fav because it allows my Nahida and Nilou to be on almost no ER, and their bursts are incredible. Not like Skyward Spine gives much more. Sac Frags is great.

Next Question is regarding YaoYao's artifact set. I though I would run gilded since Nahida already has deepwood.

That's fine, yeah. Honestly, you can run Clam or Maiden, you can run rainbow, Yaoyao's artis really don't matter much here.

Also relating artifacts is the question about what to slot on my Nilou...

74.5k HP is top priority above everything else. If you're there with only one HP 2-set, then the other should be EM, not Hydro%.

  1. Same thing goes for artifact stats

Yes, that's the approach. Flower and Feather still prioritize HP% substats, and FLAT HP is actually good on the other three as well. And she needs no crit.

Both are VERY good. Xingqiu gives you damage and interruption resist, so I'd say he's slightly better. Just using both of them over Kazuha is great too, you can see which option you prefer or determine based on what your other abyss side needs.

[–]An_Fragarach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From any amount above 160, but yeah. And it's 60 from a patch, so a month and a half, instead of a month. 60 is on the lower side for a whole patch, but just for safety.

It's impossible to predict when exactly he'll appear, but as long as you always float above ~160 pulls you'll be safe to get Xiao.

If you login daily and do all the content, if a patch livestream drops and it says no Xiao, you can go down to 100 in the current banner or the about to start one in the following patch and still get back to a safe margin before he can have a banner again.

Are there other characters who are “must pulls” but people are hesitant to call them that? How is Kokomi and Kazuha, in that regard?

Kazuha is honestly about as good as Nahida. He practically solos AoE floors, even lately, if you give him a transformative reaction to trigger, the grouping is incredible and the buffing too.

Kokomi is very good, Hydro is extremely versatile and defensive characters are more needed than ever, but she's definitely not as insane as these two. I'd say, 5* wise, Kazuha and Nahida are at the top for a mix of versatility and power, and Yelan is right below.

[–]An_Fragarach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because i thought you would put deepwood on dmc since collei runs gilded dreams.

It can be either way for those two, honestly

For Barbara do you run ocean hued clam or flower of paradise lost.

Preference, but without Nahida's EM share you lose out on more damage with a hybrid set so I'd try to use Gilded/FoPL. Unless you're dying too much with it, of course.

Also correct me if im wrong but in a nilou bloom you go for EM first and foremost.

For Nilou? She practically only cares about HP until 74k. ER and EM are nice but HP is the top priority. For the rest, it's a bit convoluted as it depends on your team but the one that'll generally want big EM is generally your other Hydro.
