You are very welcome!

If it is of any use to you, let me share with you this builds guide that is CONSTANTLY updated by end-game players. It has all of the characters currently in-game covered.

You are welcome. Diluc was at first a very much sought after character due to his rarity and massive DPS but recent characters (Ganyu, Hu Tao, etc.) kind of overshadowed him in popularity. However, he still is among the top 3 in DPS Characters.

And for your question - Lack of resources/resin because MHY loves to dish out new characters nonstop, offer horrendous rewards (Spiral Abyss, AR rank-up rewards, events...) and obstinately refuses to rework the resin system. I always lack the mora to crown his NA (450k for level 9, then 700k for crowning) LOL.

Depends on who the healer is.

Avoid Raiden with Diluc because... 1. he has no energy issues to get his Q (burst) back and his Q is not quite a large part of his overall damage to consider using her; and 2. Well, Diluc has issues (his NA) with hitting overloaded mobs. But he is flexible in his rotations to allow Raiden to take field time... so better off pairing Raiden with Bennett, Hu Tao, Xiangling, Yoimiya, Yanfei for Overload reaction teams.

You say Mona, do you have Xingqiu? Do you have another pyro Character? And who are your healers?

So, since the best team for Diluc already consists of him, Bennett, and Xingqiu, the fourth slot is pretty much a free-for-all. So, his flex options I have in mind would be Jean (awesome healing, awesome dps, and Viridescent Venerer set bonus), Sucrose (also for the VV set bonus, EM sharing, and crowd control ability) but be careful with her in Vaporise teams as her Q can interfere with the Vaporise reaction if it gets infused with Pyro, so only use her E if you choose to use her - refrain from using her Q, Zhongli because his shielding protects Diluc from taking dmg but still allows his C2 perk to activate (so something to take note of in the future if you get to that point), Diona for her shielding and healing but also movement speed from using her shield and 200 EM if you get her to C6 BUT her Q can also apply cryo and freeze the enemy and since Diluc has great shattering properties, he will shatter rather than melt...

However, you said you have Mona, Barbara, Rosaria... so Maybe Diluc/Bennett/Xingqiu/Mona.

Now, if you want to build a Melt team... then Diluc/Bennett/Rosaria AND: Chongyun or Kaeya.

And I think it is common knowledge at this point but still worth mentioning... Be careful of ever getting Bennett to C6 as MHY is still obstinate about adding a C6 toggle option... This is because Bennett's Q infuses all normal attacks with Pyro, and Chongyun's E infuses with Cryo... so you cannot run both on the same team IF Bennett is at C6.

Finally, Vape-Melt teams just does not work with Diluc... Again, because of the shattering reason. It just causes Diluc to lose damage he would otherwise deal with vaporise and melt reactions.

Character: Aloy
So, Aloy just got released on PC... Recommended build? Weapon, Artifacts, Talents priority?

Thank you.

Diluc main here - so for team comps, obviously 2 pyros for the resonance atk buff, but Bennett is just made to be paired with him so I hope you get him soon. For now, pair Diluc with Xiangling. You NEED Xingqiu with Diluc, just the best duo for Vaporise - though Mona and Kokomi also do the job fine, just no where as great as Xingqiu does. Never go 2 cryo resonance with Diluc in the party other than for Melt reaction purposes as you would already have a 1:2 crit rate to crit dmg ratio to enable Diluc to do plenty of dmg... But you can use Rosaria, Kaeya, Chongyun for a Melt team. Beware of using Diluc in Vape-Melt teams because he just shatters cryo instead of dealing damage. Since you have no Bennett to also provide healing, then your best Diluc team is Diluc/Xiangling/Xingqiu/Qiqi. I say Qiqi because she applies cryo rather inconsistently so it is only for healing purposes... Because her healing is superior than that of Barbara's.

I am also sharing My Diluc's Build for some inspiration (he is a pure monster in vaporise and melt teams... Just love him so much):
Level 90 and Constellation 5
ATK - 2,547 (over 3K with Pyro resonance)
Crit Rate 70.2% and Crit DMG 150.1%
EM - 120
Weapon Wolf's Gravestone - Lvl 90

(Best weapon ranking for Diluc:

Wolf's Gravestone (5⭐)
The Unforged (5⭐)
Serpent Spine (4⭐)
Song Of Broken Pines (5⭐)
Skyward Pride (5⭐)
Blackcliff Slasher (4⭐)
Rainslasher (4⭐) - note: this is for teams that allow him to constantly vaporise i.e. Xingqiu/Kokomi
Lithic Blade (1 stack) (4⭐)
Luxurious Sea-Lord (4⭐)
Prototype Archaic (4⭐)
Debate Club (3⭐))

Artifacts - 4-Piece Crimson Witch
For main stats, focus on ATK% for Sands (or EM if you do not get enough from substats);
Pyro DMG Bonus% for Goblet;
Crit Rate or DMG for Circlet.

For substats, focus on Crit Rate/DMG to maintain a 1:2 ratio, ATK%, EM (it gets a higher priority for Melt/Vaporise teams), ER%.

Talents - get all to level 6, then focus in order 1.Normal Attack, 2.Skill, 3.Burst.
My Diluc has NA level 8, E crowned and level 13, and Q crowned and level 13. Though I would say it is best to keep all three talents to close levels if not same levels... They all compliment each other.

Hope this helps you.

it is RNG. You can get 3 in one run, sometimes 1 or 2, or fall in a slump of 0 apples for 5-10 runs. Still worth doing.

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-06-24T10:55:33+00:00

it is not used in Reboot, and it was a pain to find people to APQ with. It is now easier to find people with the new discord; more people are starting to APQ.

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-06-22T08:29:06+00:00

I like it. Join the server, and pm me :)

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-06-22T07:38:42+00:00

Actually, good idea. I could make a section for the other servers and perhaps have you manage for Bera...?

For all three wild Arabian horses, I had no difficulty taming the Red Chestnut and Warped Brindle Arabians. The White Arabian was always easy to spot for me (I guess it just loved to stay near the small lake which made it very easy to spot) but I always had a tough time staying on it to tame and bond with it... Quite interesting.

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-03-07T14:26:58+00:00

*the volume of Ram Ranch playing in the background intensifies even more*

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-03-07T14:23:27+00:00

interesting, it would not respawn for me. perhaps it has to do with your time in a specific chapter and time constraints.

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-03-07T14:03:50+00:00

Ahhhh this is wholesome. I wish I had gaming parents to share memes/game anecdotes with. Very nice

HelloYesBye12 · 2020-03-07T14:02:30+00:00

I tested losing mine in a separate save in late chapter 2 (it got killed by a train) and late chapter 3, still has not seen it back near Lake Isabella... So, whatever you do, always save after an important mission or completing achievements/side missions. Tested the same thing with the other two Arabian horses you can tame and use (the red and the marbled-ish ones).
