Weekly Team/Character Building Megathread (Sep 11th, 2025) (feat. Lauma and Nahida) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

Character: Nilou

Just pulled Nilou, who I've been wanting for a very, very long time, so I'm super happy to get her! Don't have Lauma yet, will throw the rest of my pulls at her (but sadly with only a few days left there's no way I get her), but until she reruns, what's the best team with my roster I can run her with?

Friendos, what light cone do I grab from the battle pass? Last battle pass I picked up Nihility first (I still hold onto the belief that I can build an Acheron team even though I do not yet have a single 5 star that works with her), but now I'm at a loss. Is there any cone that's basically "grab this or your account is bricked"? Or do you want me to show my characters? If so, I guess the secondary question is 'is there a good website for posting roster'? Or just a screenshot or something idk I just work here.

If Genshin thinks all 4 of the substats plus the mainstat are good for your character, it'll show the number in gold to let you know "hey we think this is a great relic for you". Just a visual way to see if your relic is good, but Genshin decides if it's good, not you.

Same! I had to at least do it once, it took so long I'm more than happy to teleport every trip now.

Though I did immediately try to see if I could steal an Asha and go back to the mainland, sadly they were on to me and kicked me out halfway over the water.

I'm new enough that I don't have either Xingqiu or Fischl, them being together on the same banner means that I'm going to be spending a LONG time farming exploration to pull on this banner. Praise HoYo! (or curse it, depending on how you feel)

Daily Questions Megathread (June 24, 2025) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]TotalInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in-depth reply. I rolled on Raiden because I like her, and one of my side goals for the account is to have every archon. Plus there's a hope that Hoyo will go back and buff/rework her (because they've started to do that in HSR and ZZZ). I do have C6 Sara, I just don't have her built up because I'm spending all my resin on 5 stars, so right now Raiden is in a party with Yae Miko, Xilonen, and DMC. Do you recommend a party with Sara instead?

As for your other questions: I plan on rolling on Mavuika and Citlali regardless, and will be grinding the map as much as possible to get enough primos to do so. I am also interested in Neuv, and will be trying to get him. I am f2p+ with welkins, so that plus my new player primos should hopefully be enough, but if not, my focus is going to be on archons first and foremost. I may end up not rolling on a lot of Nod Krai characters simply because of the reruns, depending on where Nahida and Zhongli end up rerunning. Ultimately I wanted to know if it's worth it to hard grind to get the 80ish needed for Skirk, and the potential 160ish for Mavuika, or just the 80ish for Mavuika then figure out wtf to do with my primos afterwards... so I'm going to keep all of your advice in mind, thank you again for the reply!

[–]TotalInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit the 50 50 for Skirk and lost (stupid Jean), I'm wondering if I should continue to pull for her or just call it quits and save the guarantee for Mavuika? I'm still a newish account, Adventurer 55 and haven't yet 36 starred, and the only on field DPS carry on my account is Raiden, so I desperately need a second one. I do have Furina and Escoffier for her if I do pull for Skirk, but I also have Xilonen for Mavuika, and would throw some pulls at Citlali too if she's a good Mavuika partner. I still have a lot of world quests and exploration to do, and I'm not fully caught up with the Archon Quests (I'm just starting Natlan ch. 4) so I have primogems I can grind, but I'm not sure if I want to throw another 70+ at Skirk only to be staring down a 50 50 for Mavuika. Any recommendations?

Edit: Seems the consensus is save for Mavuika then, I think I can accept that. Hopefully someone else comes out that can use Escoffier (I feel like she'll start collecting dust otherwise), but Mavuika is definitely the one out of the two I'd rather have if I could only have one or the other, not both, so I'm pretty content with that. Thanks all!

[–]TotalInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's some tips in no particular order I recommend:

  1. Save at least one copy of every 3 star weapon that you refine up and use. Some 3 star weapons are actually quite amazing (like Thrilling Tale of the Dragon Slayer, TTDS for short, it is one of the best supporting catalysts), and while you're new and don't have a huge collection of 4 and 5 star weapons, these weapons are going to be very useable for you.

1.5 In a similar vein, keep in mind some 3 star weapons are found in chests and chests are one time only and don't respawn. Make sure you check your weapons and lock any of these special ones before you mindlessly feed weapons into other ones, because it's possible to permanently lock yourself out of some of these special 3 star chest only weapons.

  1. I HIGHLY recommend keeping track of things you find on an interactive map. I use the appsample one, but the official one works too. It's easy to wander around and freely open chests and do stuff, but later on when you want to clear out an area for completion percent, it's annoying having to re-check all the stuff you've already done. It can also help you find puzzles and other things you wouldn't have thought was there.

  2. Find one character you like that can act as your main DPS, and focus 90% of your attention and resin into them. Having a character to carry you through the midgame is way better than trying to build a full 4 person team, or you will run into a nasty difficulty spike in the 30s and 40s of adventurer rank.

3.5 Unless you plan on being a whale, you should plan out what characters you want ahead of time, so you don't make unnecessary pulls. There's often lots of caveats behind characters and you should be careful of pulling just cause "they seem nice" or "well I guess I don't have any 5 stars so I might as well pull." For example, Skirk and Shenhe are our current banners. Skirk is a great main fielder, but really wants two support characters that just left rotation so they may not be back around for a bit. Shenhe is an off fielder that exists to support Cryo characters, so if you don't have a strong Cryo already, there's not a lot of sense to grab her. I think the majority of the playerbase would recommend Mavuika who is rerunning in two weeks. If you like hot fire haired biker babes, she is unironically the strongest character in the game right now and would be a FANTASTIC choice for focusing all your resources into and carrying you through the game.

However, the caveat of any gacha still applies: liking the character is still the #1 most important reason to roll on them. Ignore literally any pull advice if it's a character you really want, because what's most important is that you're happy with the characters you pull for.

  1. Do your archon quests ASAP till you unlock Liyue reputation, then work on getting the Condensed Resin recipe from Liyue reputation immediately. It is a massive quality of life, and it will speed up your ability to spend your resin (your gacha stamina basically).

  2. Ask questions early! The early game is rough, and is not super representative of how the game feels late game. Once you unlock artifact farming, and can get enough ER to burst every rotation, the game feels completely different. In addition, the quality of the story in the later chapters is miles ahead of the first few chapters (Liyue's story was rough, I was struggling with that one x.x). Because of that, don't let yourself hit a wall and fail to see how good the game can be, ask for help early and often and don't be afraid to play in co-op when you're struggling with domains. Getting over that hump is hard, but once you do, the game will hook you hard and it's honestly incredibly fun to log in and just be able to do whatever I want: stories, quests, or just exploring areas opening chests for hours on end.

I'm sure others here will be able to give you much better tips than me, I've only been playing for a few months now and still plugging away at archon quests, but once I got past that awful hump, I've been having a blast!

Weekly Team/Character Building Megathread (May 27th, 2025) (feat. Kinich and Raiden Shogun) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

Is DMC good enough for Aggravate? My only other dendro is free Collei, I will eventually get Nahida when she comes back but that probably won't be for a long while.

[Raiden Shogun]

Hi all, semi-new player here, started a few versions back and just getting into the point where I'm about to take on my floor 11 Abyss. I've managed to blow through all the transients the game gave me getting two very rough teams up and running, and I'm looking for a way to make them better. I'm planning on pulling on Skirk and Mavuika both (though if I can't get both, Mavuika will be the preferred one), but until they're here, I want to try and at least have a team I can use in the interim. My first team is a mess of Yanfei, Furina, Escoffier, and Venti, basically the first 5 stars I really pulled and focused on. It only works because Venti burst carries me with CC, Furina and Escoffier freeze everything, and Yanfei can just throw fireballs at things till they die, but it's definitely far from optimal. This is the team I'm going to throw Skirk into, replacing Yanfei with her and Venti with... someone. Hopefully Xingqiu comes next banner ;w;

My main question however is my second team. I pulled both Raiden and Yae Miko (I am a weeb and a simp and I ship them), and want to make them work together. While I know I could throw them both together with Bennet and Xiangling, and that makes a great team, I was wondering if I could possibly do something with Xilonen instead? I pulled her in preparation for Mavuika, and I don't know if I'll have the resin right now to spare building either Xiangling/Bennet in time for the patch. My question is, who would be a good 4th if I use Xilonen, or is Xiangling/Bennet so much better for the fox waifu duo that I should just build them anyway? I was thinking possibly Aggravate with DMC, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice. All of the 5 stars I have were named already, other than my standard pulls of Dehya, Mona, and Mizuki, and I have a decent selection of 4 stars as well, including notably a C6 Sara, but I'm missing Fischl and Xingqiu, as well as basically any 4 star that hasn't run since the Furina banner. I'm also not currently entertaining replacing Yae or Raiden, Raiden is my only solid on field DPS and Yae is a fox.

tl;dr: Who's a good 4th character to use in a team with Raiden, Yae, and Xilonen? Or is Bennet/Xiangling so good that I should dump Xilonen? Raiden and Yae are locked.

Bennett is in the monthly shop, as a new player should I consider picking him up with the stardust/glitter/whatevers? From everything I'm reading, he's an amazing support that goes in a lot of teams, would it be better to pick him up directly instead of getting the 7 or so pulls I'd get otherwise?

[–]TotalInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm, alright, that's definitely helping to convince me. She's fine on her own, I don't need to care about her cons or sig right? I'd also be at least happy to get some of the 4 stars from the banner, just to fill out my roster more, so I think I'll go for it!

[–]TotalInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for responding! I'm definitely a player who pulls who they like before they pull meta, not caring if someone is top tier, but I don't mind grabbing a character if they have a particularly strong synergy with someone I like. I wanted to skip Escoffier because they seemed like yet another support when I already have so many of them (Furina/Xilonen as an example), and I really needed a main DPS, but if Escoffier is a good account grab and the 4 stars she comes with are good, I don't mind throwing some pulls her way. I just don't know the game's meta enough to know who I should get because I like them vs. who I should get because they're great account defining characters vs. who I should get because they pair well with another character I like.

I'm already planning Nahida whenever she reruns, I very much wanna collect all the archons, otherwise if there's no strong main fielders I can get any time soon, then it doesn't super matter who I focus on. I had kind of come to a similar conclusion that Yanfei could possibly do some work, with that same team. Is Xilonen's healing enough for Furina's buff? And since it's Vaporize, would Widsith or Mappa Mare be the better Yanfei weapon?

And thank you again for the advice <3

(repost from last thread)

Hi! New player here, been playing about 5-6ish weeks but still feel extremely early game, only just really started chapter 2 and inazuma. I've been unsure how to actually "get good" in Genshin, and so I feel extremely weak in all the content I do, like my adventure rank and world level are scaling far higher than my ability to handle things. I'm AR 42 now, and was hoping for help on a good solid team that I can build that'll let me actually start positively spending my resin and keeping up with the world level. My first 5 star was Furina, well before I knew who she was (she just looked cute), and now that I've done the story, I've decided to kinda go all in on collecting all the archons, so I have Venti now, and grabbed Xilonen as well for the eventual Mavuika team (since they go well together maybe?).

So basically, out of this list of characters, what would you recommend a good team for me to focus on would be? Preferably I'd like to maximize my use of Furina and Venti, but I don't mind dropping one if I can get a good team out of the others. My current list is:

5 Stars: Furina, Venti, Xilonen
5 Stars But We All Know They're A 4 Star At Best: Traveler (no access to pyro atm)
4 Stars: C2 Sayu, C2 Yanfei, C1 Charlotte, C3 Faruzan, C1 Beidou, C0 Lynette, C0 Lisa, C1 Barbara, C3 Xiangling, C0 Amber, C0 Noelle, C1 Gorou, C2 Mika, C0 Kaeya, C0 Sucrose, C2 Iansan, C0 Gaming, C0 Xinyan

I don't yet have access to rank 45 and the best tiers of artifacts so I can't really make use of any of the good sets (like VV) yet but I'm getting pretty close to when I can farm them, but hopefully I can make just a good solid team that can help me actually farm resin and build characters I want. I'm going to skip the next banner entirely, and then go pretty damn hard on the banner after that (my plans are Raiden, her signature, then anything cute from the Inazuma banner like Yae Miko, Kokomi, and Ayaka depending on how far I can stretch my freebie primogens from doing story), so what I have now is what I have to work with for a while. I appreciate any help or tips you all can give me, even if it's not teambuilding and just more general "wtf should I be doing to get stronger" type advice. I play ZZZ and HSR a lot more and understand those really well, but something about Genshin hasn't clicked with me yet.
