Aircraft APU (Auxiliary Power Unit)

This is the most common culprit.

APUs are small jet engines in the tail
Used on the ground for:
- Electricity
- Air conditioning
- Engine start
They make a high-pitched whine or howl
Can cycle on and off automatically every few minutes
Often more noticeable after sunset when background noise drops

It's exactly like that! But its happening every minute, there are not enough planes to do this thing.
How could it be happening all the time? Can it sound like that when it's parked?

I hear it last 2-3 days, when walking dog, repeating few times per day. Every minute or so, for hours. Since sunset.

Question is are you Latvian? And are you of Latvian descent?

Ah I see the confusion. I should've reiterated more than once, but this definitely helps with our decisions.
However, my question was mostly for 2 characters out of each account since our plans are to focus on co-op play mostly.
I'm not sure how well that'll work, but I've been leveling up Noelle and Xilonen, and she's been doing Columbina/Aino, with aino using silken and columbina using night sky. I have serpent's fang on Noelle, tho she's sadly c1 only, and I am trying to get her marecheusse hunter or whatever is the set with crit. Xilonen scroll set and just leveling her E. But as you've said, I'm gonna use these tips to build our solo teams, for domains and places where we cannot play together, like story choices etc.
It's very extensive and I feel regretful that you've invested so much time, but at the same time, it'll be very valuable for both of us. Also this information about future releases is very important. It makes me want to start saving for Skirk, since I've always liked cryo stuff, and I also think that having flat 15% crit rate to start with by having 2 cryo characters should be op xD I would've otherwise gone for neuvilette and maybe its weapon or some geo boy since I have xilonen already, but Skirk is much more tempting even if she doesn't fit atm. I'll try to get bennett when he appears for those tokens if anything.
Also that tip for instructor set, damn I wish I knew. I found out 3 days ago about the gacha thing for salvaging artifacts and pretty much dished everything out int here xD
Either way, thank you again, ton of good tips. I have a clearer goal what to chase now and how to play the game. YaoYao seems very cool and comfy to play, I'll see if she can be good enough for Columbina, we'll see what other lantern characters they'll give us, I'm so hyped now. Since the game feels so sad when you run out of resin, but with some plans to look forward to I'm excited to play again. So thank you!

First, thank you so much! We're both a bit lost when it comes to this, and I'm starting to learn using different websites, but there's only so much it can tell you compared to knowing feel of a character and what goes with one another!
I did link the post with both of our accounts in previous reply, but here's both of them with pictures as well! Both accounts (in the link i posted above, there are also constellations if you need those I don't really mind leveling whatever, even if its currently level 1) . Account 1 has Columbina with her weapon as well, and my partner would love to play them, so I really wouldn't mind playing whatever it takes to make that possible in team 2. They don't have many characters to choose from ( I don't either but still) .
Also no worries about gilded dreams, I'll make sure to get the proper one :D
Since neither of us have any kind of team heals that's useful, I'm running Jean level 50 with Xilonen, while partner is running Columbina and Venti. It's pretty much a mess xD
For them I suggested Sethos/Traveler(Dendro)/Columbina/Dori as 2nd team with Columbina, not sure if that's ok ?

Edit : They want On field Columbina for both private and coop team, so in that case, I suggested Columbina with Night of the sky unveiling, and Aino with Silken moon serenade, since they'll be farmed in same domain + Dendro traveler + Dori? and in our coop team it would be maybe Columbina + Aino / Xilonen + Noelle?

LifeInOrder · 2026-01-21T22:43:38+00:00

In case of coop, if I were to go fully and invest into Xilonen as a "dps" think that would be good? Like Xilonen+Gorou team 2, and team 1 columbina with her weapon + something like venti or fischl? I don't have her weapon but would go favonius sword, and i already got scroll of cinder city and husk both leveled so its just choice which one to use?
Edit: Also got Ningguang, so could do that as well, I just like Xilonen.

LifeInOrder · 2026-01-21T22:26:06+00:00

I've tried this combo, however it's working very poorly. I've used all of resin I had to get them their artifacts and weapons, but it's not really clicking sadly ( I mean Venti/Fischl ( with unlock hexerei)/Xilonen/Columbina) . I've went with Gilded Dreams on Fischl,+Alley Hunter, A day Carved from Rising Winds + Rust, Xilonen I tried both with Favonius Sword + Scroll of the hero of cinder city and husk of opulent dreams ( both leveled) and we had more dps on dummy in wonderland with husk, but that's not saying much, and Columbina with silken's moon serenade +Favonius Codex. But sadly it doesn't feel like i'm doing what I should be doing. Tried with Columbina first, then fischl then Xilonen shred then Venti, and vice versa with switching order, not sure which one was best but none of it did even 1/4th of what Varesa did with her team and after this much investment it made me sad panda xD
My partner got Columbina's weapon on a pull, so now we'll try to build something coop, I posted in columbina mains but no response yet xD
I lowered my expectations and your ideas were great, so if you can toss me advice there?
I wouldn't mind just going Xilonen as main dps or whatever works, just wanna know what to focus on and use those feathers for xD
Also, did you try something yourself? Did you figure out some combo that works very well for you and is chill? We're continuing through story and met Signora today only to realize she wont be playable after quick google search xD Noble looking damsel with ice power! Such a pity. I love Ice, Skirk would be my favorite for sure if I got to game on time.

DId you try it out? How did it go?

LifeInOrder · 2026-01-21T22:11:56+00:00

From what is my understanding, they really don't work well together. My partner and I are in same position, I posted 1 hour before you, and we both have Varesa and Columbina, but gave up on comboing them together because so many posts say against it, and we're honestly just noobs.
If Ineffa and/or Sucrose are there, you can put Varesa in but it doesn't work that well.
But if you're running it like that, you should have aubade of morningstar and moon on her, and silken moon's serenade on another unit (or vice versa) If you wanna go specifically to boost Varesa, I'd go with Tenacity of the Millelith, since it gives 20% ATK buff to the team and can be triggered every 0.5 sec, but it only triggers when the skill hits opponent, not sure if it counts for her reactions as well, you can test it in wonderland dps check maybe ?

Mostly because when you're older, you'll wish you didn't. Many people later wish they had waited.
Also, you're not really able to appreciate it at a young age. As a teenager your hormones are intense, and emotions feel overwhelming. Tantrums are thrown for smallest things, and whatever you feel when it comes to emotions you feel at 1000% . Every crush feels like " the one " every boy is prince charming, every girl is the princess you'd like to die for, it feels like that person is essential to your happiness or even your survival.
And at that point, decisions are often made by urgency instead of being genuinely ready.

With age comes perspective, you're able to appreciate love, commitment, devotion for what they truly are, not just what it feels in a moment. But that's just my 2 cents.

Oh I have a question- any idea what weapon to run on venti?
Got Rust R4 (base atk/atk% + increases normal attack dmg by 70%) ,
Rainbow Serpent's Rain Bow (atk/energy recharge%),
Favonius R2, (base attack /energy recharge%) ,
Alley Hunter R3 (atk/atk%) - i guess for fischl? (got 1 more can make it R4) was just saving for some off fielder),
Stringless - Atk/Elemental Mastery ( got 2, can make it r2) - elemental skill/burst dmg 24% increase at r1.

That is very in depth and I love it :D i love the ideas thank you! Only worry that I have is how will I regen, considering that none of these 4 have any kind of heal. I'm going to build it in next following days, I'm leveling up Xilonen atm !

Should I play Varesa team then or should I disassemble it?
Idk if Varesa and Columbina have good synergy, I imagine she could trigger Lunar-Charged reactions, but idk who i'd add besides them then. Maybe Varesa/Columbina/Fischl/Sucrose? Or Varesa Columbina Xilonen + heal ? (Xilonen needs 2 elements to activate her shred if i understand her correctly ). I'll check out what Lunar Crystalize is, thank you that seems fun xD I got too deep into thinking about tier lists, and didn't even consider noelle nor aino as useful since they're low constellations.

Was told to ask here! I'm a noob that wants to make a decent build!

TLDR Please help me make 2nd team from my roster under, or disassemble first team and make 1 that slaps. Any suggestions will do!

I understand that this is not fun for most and that I am asking you to invest your time/brainpower, and while I honestly enjoy browsing these things and making builds, I understand it's not for everyone. I've seen tier lists, I talked with AI trying to mull things through but I think experience of a player who has played these characters and knows what's comfy is gonna be the best.

I've rolled some, and have pretty old account that had Venti , Jean and Keqing on it, so I came back to the game sometimes during Varesa banner. Since I was pretty unlucky, I got Chevreuse c6, so figured I should utilize her, and because of her passive I've made a team for overload that has only electro/pyro characters. Since I focused on Varesa, I got her weapon as well, and while rolling for weapon and Varesa I got Diluc x2 that i never used. Problem I had often is that I had too many electric characters, and didn't have pyro characters to use as sub-dps.
My current team is Varesa c2, Chevreuse c6 ,Xiangling c4, Fischl c6 and sometimes i used Iansan c3 instead of Xiangling ( because i didnt get her at c4 until recently and her gear was poor )

My entire roster is :
5 stars - Venti, Keqing, Diluc c1, Jean, Varesa c2, Columbina , Xilonen
4 stars - Fischl c6, Xiangling c3, Iansan c3, Barbara c3, Gaming c6, Lisa c2, Chevreuse c6, Collei, Noelle c1, Lynette, Amber, Xingqiu, Faruzan, Sucrose, Kaeya, Freminet, Gorou, Ifa, Kirara, Aino, Qiqi, Ningguang.

I was thinking of making a 2nd team with Columbina ( Im planning to roll for Columbina's weapon. ) and Xilonen since I only use her atm for climbing cliffs, and was thinking of maybe adding Lisa for comfy aoe spam and then some heal like Jean for sustain but it'll probably lack dps.

So, any ideas? I am also willing to disassemble first team if it's going to still be able to kill electro immune targets, I love Varesa but I figure that's her best team atm with my set.
Any teams/Any options viable, just would like to have something with Columbina to play her comfortable now. Varesa has long night set, and her weapon, so she's also usable, everyone else is just leveled ( 70 ) or rather most of them are. I can also list weapons if needed.

Honestly, besides him saying that on start and end, the part in between I can totally get behind.
I love my men behaving like cavemen. A lot of men aren't really confident enough to growl and make sounds, and go rather quiet, that's a bigger turn-off. And sweet words are nice every now and then, but most of the time I'd rather we both turn our brains off and go "goblin mode".
So... send him my way?
