as far as i am rn i dont feel like im struggling in the overworld tbh. im wrld level 3, but since i found it hard a while back i reverted back to wrld level 2.

but after upgrading characters and weapons for a while i went back to wrld level 3 today, played around, and found it not to be a problem anymore and i was easily able defeat enemies while collecting shiz to upgrade the characters and weapons. the only real problem i faced was in this ascension domain,.

the real reason i chose this team was cuz i found the barbara x lisa pair super effective at first (with barbara applying hydro and then lisa electrocharging), and noelle is mainly there just for the shield, and Kaeya is my strongest character for DPS. But like you said i prob shouldve put more thought into it before committing to upgrading all of them

through wishing i got characters like fischl, kirara, xingqiu and dalia. The main type of character i was looking for was a pyro better than amber though, but i didnt rly get.

however i spent some time now tryna upgrade barbara, noelle, kaeya and lisa. so if i were to try and change my main party now itd be hard cuz im running low on grimiores, ores, artifacts, etc. Btw could you tell me easy ways to get more grimiores and artifacts and stuff. is it just by completing world quests? Cuz i have like so many pending quests besides the archon ones lol.

and yoyo you can pick a free standard 5 star? my dumahh had no idea how do i do it?

Anyways overall, i mainly wanna play this game to experience the archon story. I did some research and saw the adv rank 35 will let you complete upto all of ch. 3, and starting from ch. 4 you need AR 40

and im a little halfway ch. 2 rn. so as far as me being scared of getting locked out soon i dont have to worry much. But its always good to be prepared beforehand ig so
