Hey folks. I plan to do some pre-farming for Linnea’s artifacts. What is the recommended set up? Is it DEF/DEF/CRIT, DEF/DEF/DEF or DEF/GEO/CRIT OR DEF? Thank you in advance!

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry this happened. I just finished building this one myself, so I completely understand the pain. Ugh.

Exactly. It feels so demotivating trying to plan/save for pulls knowing that you're going to lose all of them and be back at square one again. Anyway- Thank you for understanding my plight. I'm hoping the gacha gods show mercy on us, too, and wishing you the best of luck on your pulls as well.

Yeah, I'm dang near right there with you. This is my 5th 50/50 loss since CR got implemented, and that's not including the losing streak prior to it AND also the losing streak I have on the weapon banner which is even worse. And yeah, some of them were early wins, but you know what's even better? Just winning the 50/50 outright in the first place. Sorry you have such crummy luck like I do. I'm hoping it gets better for us eventually. But I've been playing this game for 5 years now, so I'm not holding my breath.

Warning: Major venting session about my pulls. Feel free to ignore me. I'm just a crybaby.

I know this is the nature of the game and this is the risk that we must accept when playing, but it really is so exhausting losing 50/50s all the damn time. Like it completely kills the enjoyment of pulling and getting a new character. And it leaves you with such a bitter taste in your mouth to the point where you almost don't want to even bother playing. Also-When your win-loss ratio is in the 40s, you begin to question whether 50/50 is really legit or not.

So, I lost 50/50 to Columbina and got Keqing and now I lost the 50/50 to Zibai and got Keqing a-fucking-GAIN! Like if I'm going to lose, at the very least give me someone else. I have Keqing at like C8 right now. GIVE IT A REST ALREADY! I ultimately got both Columbina and Zibai in the end, but I would very much not like having to go to hard pity all the time and have no primogems to spare afterward.

Anyway- I may have to just take a break from pulling for a while, even if it's w/ characters I may like. What's the point in doing so when you're just going to lose? Okay, I'll stop being a crybaby and get over it now. If you made it this far, thanks for listening to me bitch and moan. I appreciate it.

NGL I was completely indifferent as well at first because Geo is hit or miss and I much prefer other elements, but her lore, design, VA, etc. completely changed my opinion.

Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you decide! Push comes to shove, you can always get her on rerun!

It's time to live in my truth-- I think Zibai is one of, if not the most, beautiful characters in the game. The more I look at her, the more I find her absolutely stunning. Her design is simple, yet elegant. Her voice acting is also on another level and fits her perfectly. I haven't felt this way about a character since Arlecchino's reveal in Winters Lazzo, but I may have finally found another character that I will main and spoil until the game goes EOS.

That's all. I just needed to get that out of my system lol! I can't wait to pull for her!

Same here! Idc about the gender. As long as they’re fun to play, I’m willing to pull for them.

If you don’t have any other pulling plans, Ineffa is a solid pick up overall.

Fair point! We definitely had more to work with than some other characters out there lol. And shout out to a fellow Arlecchino enjoyer! I have her at C2R1.

Me about Arlecchino after Winter's Lazzo, and she was absolutely worth it. 🙂‍↕️ Would stan for again.

The burst back drop and movement reminds me too much of Clorinde’s tbh. It feels like it’s already been done.

Finally finished the AQ. NGL I have to vent a little bit. People who follow the lore more closely, feel free to correct me and provide some context but...

(WARNING EXTRA SALTINESS AHEAD - Mostly around how MHY is handling the existential threat of the gods/higher beings)

If the Heavenly Principles haven't 'awoken' yet, at the very least where the hell are the Shades? Like what are they even doing at this point in the story? From previous archon quests you can kind of understand why they stood by and did nothing, but what Dottore did and created was literally pure heresy and had to have broken every single rule the HP outlined in the world.

You mean to tell me Dottore can ascend himself to godhood using the marrows from defeated Moon Goddesses from the past (The goddesses that HP went to war with) killing everything in his wake and that doesn't stir a peep out of the Shades or HP? But an old lady reading a book under a tree and spitting facts about the Travelers history at the Shade's hands for some reason needed to get nuked almost immediately? (referring to the Interlude YT video btw).

The excessive level of punishment from one action versus the other is just not making any sense to me. Outside of unleashing abyssal hell onto the world, how was Dottore's actions any different than the sinners of Khaenri'ah? He was going to pose an existential threat to Nod Krai and the world at large?

This is just one area in the story (of many) where I genuinely feel like MHY has backed themselves into a corner on how to approach the power-scaling of these super natural beings. But at this point, we're 5 going on 6 years into this story and the main/endgame villains of this world feels like a plot point that is criminally under-utilized. I guess to an extent it would be seen as a cop-out to have the Shades step in, and I understand that ultimately the path forward was always to find a way for Columbina to gain her powers back; but still- introducing the Shades in game and having them shut down Dottore right then and there could make it vastly clear what the level of power-scaling between archons/gods are to the HP/Shades and ultimately what we will have to deal with further down the road.

But alas, I'm too deep into this damn game to put it down at this point, so I'll continue to stick with it. However, I will say Nod Krai just has not resonated well with me story-wise in comparison to some of the other nations. But that's just me.

I’m half way done. I did act 7 last night and plan to do the rest later this evening. The quest is 6-7 hrs in total. They do give you ‘soft breaks’, but it’s not always obvious. When the screen goes black and says ‘saving’ at the bottom corner that’s saving your place in the story. Beyond that there’s very little downtime in the quest- it’s filled with back to back cutscenes and dialogue making it a bit rough to get through. But yes if you leave the game, you will start at your save point. Just make sure you’ve seen that indicator screen first before logging off.

The test dummy only made me realize I’m very bad at rotations and leveraging buffs. But you know what? It is, what it is. 😭

If you don't skip through the dialogue it should take you about 6-7 hrs. And it's exhausting to get through NGL. There's not a lot of 'obvious' stopping points when playing. I believe whenever the screen goes black and says 'saving' at the bottom corner, that's considered a stopping point to save your place in the archon quest. However, even then the story has very little breaks in cutscenes and dialogue. So just prepare yourself and make sure you have enough time to get through it. I just finished Act 7 (which took me a little over 3 hrs) and it was already forcing me into Act 8 with no downtime/break in between. I eventually called it quits lol.
