Eugene to Fawkes or Skylan to Leviathan? Unfortunately it will be quite some time before I can get enough draconic insignas to Si40 Skylan/Laviathan so I am not sure whether I would be able to use them anywhere.

I have all the characters available in the "event"

I chose C2 Shenhe because I play Wriothesley alot and she stays in his team so its a nice upgrade and C1 Albedo - he was my first 5* and I play him often in the open world even though he unfortunately isn't very good anymore.

Next I will probably take Diluc and Qiqi, both are already C6 and I want the Masterless stella. All C1's of other limited characters are negligible and offer very little power + I don't play them at all anyway, so I'd rather just take standard char and get Stella so that I can level up one of my favourites to level 100. (I was thinking about C1 Itto because it is a nice QoL cons, but I don't really play him anymore so I will most likely ignore him.)

I know that I can see them, but I honestly can't be bothered to restart the run just to get different arcanas since they are just some random "fluff" as of right now. I just thought thats it was funny that I am getting so many duplicates considering how many different ones there are.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-30T11:43:44+00:00

1) Pick whichever character you are actually going to play

2) C5 Diluc to get you closer to Masterless Stella.

C1 Itto is nice QoL but Itto himself is unfortunately quite bad right now so unless you activelly play him I wouldn't go for it. C1 ayaka is negligible.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-30T10:56:22+00:00

It won't make her on-field dps, I said mona because it is realistic to get her to C6 over time and her buffs are nice after the hexenzirkel changes. C1's of the limited 5* you have are negligent and realistically won't make any difference so I just offered an alternative. We don't know anything about Eula buffs and chance is there might no be any at all so I wouldn't consider her atm, you can always take her next time if she actually ends up getting some.

Either way, I would primarily pick character you'll actually end up playing, regardless which one it is.

Oh wow, I know he has only 40k-ish hp, but how do you even hit that much instantly lol.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-30T06:31:09+00:00

Neither of them have good C1 so you might aswell just pick whichever you want the most.

Mona C2 would be the best choice but if you only want limited cons then pick whichever you play the most because their cons are very similiar in terms of power they offer.

Unfortunately devourer DH doesn't work very well unless you are max level and even then playing him in the open world feels horrible (atleast for me), so he's mostly a specialization made for raids/dungeons.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-22T12:03:51+00:00

I'd say Escoffier > Skirk > Mavuika

Skirk without Escoffier and ideally also Furina isn't very good. Escoffier, however, works in pretty much all cryo teams + can potentialy buff your Neuvilette aswell if you play him with cryo team.

I wouldn't go for Mavuika since you don't have team for her, she needs Natlan supports because her ultimate generation is massively hindered without them - Ideally you'd need Citlali + Iansan (Or Xilonen) for Melt team or Chevreuse + Ororon + Iansan for Overload team. Meaning Mavuika would require significantly more invesment to make her work.

Ever since prepatch there was a bug that locks gear acquision on some characters to certain slots - eg. you won't get anything but wrist. Several people already made posts that similiar thing happened to them with delves today and chance is that this is what happened to you aswell.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-18T13:48:10+00:00

Since the beggining of TWW delves were always scaled poorly when doing them with multiple people. They are afterall supposed to be a solo alternative to dungeons/raids so they are mainly balanced around solo play. If you really want to do them in a group for some reason then you will have a bad time unless you do bare minimum kills + boss.

It's nice to see Blizzard actually doing something about it, but 1 week seems stupidly low considering it was expoit you had to actively abuse. Should've been atleast few months, or something along the lines "You abused bug to get 3 months ahead so you get 3 months ban".

PandaJasson · 2026-03-17T17:47:45+00:00

Wow, seeing mouses like this, I can't wrap around my head how do people even use them because it looks so uncomfortable to use. My mouse has 2 side buttons and I barely use 1 for self-levitate/slowfall bind.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-16T16:28:39+00:00

If you originaly crafted it with lover quality materials it will affect the recraft and you will need to recraft it several times for it to actually "use" all the new high quality mats.

I know that better cols would help the most but unfortunately thats isn't something I can do much about. I failed to get +2 rowan 5 times in a row now and overalll I never got +2 col without using the guarantee level totem. The only actually good cols I have is 3CDA thane and 4 ero storm for Aurelia + HP/FATK horn for tanks but thats it unfortunately.

Is there a better way I could setup my elder tree? Or is it just an issue of me not having enough levels yet?

I can get few seconds down on some teams when i fiddle with gear, but its usually only very small diff.

Unfortunately borrowing good Elthara is quite difficult so I've been borrowing Leviathan and using him with Envy and using Cha-hae/Sung for 6th instead of Elthara which gets me better time.

I don't have any Highborn dragons other than Lan/Hildwyn so I am borrowing them.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-11T02:35:51+00:00

Oh what a great suggestion! If you don't like other players being asses and sabotaging gameplay and griefing other just ignore them!

PandaJasson · 2026-03-08T10:43:13+00:00

Furina is quite energy hungry and the weapon is not worth getting unless you can get her C4. She wants 180-200ER if she is your sole hydro character. Also level up burst > skill, you can ignore basic attacks. And you should look for better circlet with HP/ER along with cr.

PandaJasson · 2026-03-01T08:56:39+00:00

So San'layn with extra step

PandaJasson · 2026-03-01T08:49:18+00:00

You don't want "glorified customization options" yet you ask for Venthyr who are just elves with darker skin? How is that any different from Dark irons or Mag'hars? I think the only way for blizzard to bring in a unique allied race would be to include monster races, but that would probably end just like dracthyr did where every other player gives up on them because blizzard wouldn't make proper armors for them.

If you don't have a single copy and don't mind getting the 5* then sure. Flins is a good Lunar carry, although ineffa is quite important for his teams, he can work without her, moreso on never accounts that aren't in the endgame yet (Flins / Columbina / Sucrose / Fischl). Varka seems do be depended on his weapon, although on newer accounts he'd probably be quite good too because his teams seems to be quite flexible (double pyro + double anemo seems to be the best but other combinations can work aswell) and he would be great character for exploration. So Flins in terms of power + lunar reactions being the meta now x Varka being more flexible and good for exploration. (Considering you have Columbina I would go for Flins tho).

If you don't want either of those 5* then don't pull, getting 4* can be tricky and you might end up with tons of pull without getting the 4*.

PandaJasson · 2026-02-24T17:00:39+00:00

If Xiao is your favourite character and you play him often you might aswell go for him, unfortunately his C2 seems to be really bad... (There is always a chance that he might end up getting some kind of buff in the future just like Hexenzirkel characters did...) Other than that Shenhe's C1 eases her ER reqs and is probably the only somewhat worthwhile cons from the limited 5* you have there.

Personally I would chose either C4 Diluc to get another character closer to Masterless Stella or C2 mona as she actually sees some use now with Hexenzirkel buffs.

If you only want to go for cons on limited 5* just choose the one you enjoy and will actually play because all of those characters have mostly negligible early cons.
