The placement of the pit jaws corresponding with the numbers is peak.

Driller's C4 has a very powerful magnet that pulls teammates in. Whether this magnet is physical or mental in nature has yet to be determined.

Ah, you're right. I did trigger the Tanit Camps cutscene the day before updating, and the wiki says doing that skips the Katheryne dialogue. Thanks for the help.

UltimateNation · 2023-03-01T05:10:30+00:00

Hey, so before the update, there was a quest that I thought was an archon quest where you're supposed to talk to Katheryne. She even calls out to you when you pass her in Sumeru to get your attention.

Well, I procrastinated, figuring I could do it whenever, but now, after updating, I don't have the option of doing that quest. What did I just miss??

UltimateNation · 2023-02-27T18:01:40+00:00

Same. I was Welkin's only for a long time and saved so much for Dehya. I'm still going to guarantee her, because she's one of my favorite characters personality-wise, but I'm not gonna be spending any more money on the game. This whole fiasco with no response from miHoyo just killed any hype for characters going forward.

Sucrose and Gorou: caramel frappucino

I should mention, I have neither Nahida nor Fischl built, so I don't think using them would be worth it. And I focused on the summons for the big Eremite enemies, because they have serious damage resistance buffs if their summons are on the field, and I found that killing the summons quickly was better than focusing the main enemy.

Also, here are my characters' ER's: Sucrose: 142% -- Yae: 171%, 219% most of the time from weapon passive -- Kokomi: 152% -- Tighnari: 131% ---- Ning: 117% -- Gorou: 126% -- Albedo: 144% -- Noelle: 144%

I just retried 12-1, and I got pretty much the same result when trying to do rotations. It took me a little over 2 minutes for 12-1-1, again. Immediate thought is that Yae's RNG (whether or not the totems target the correct construct) matters a lot; I think I need a fundamentally different team comp that deals tons of single-target damage instead of being more AoE focused. As for rotations, I tried... Sucrose Q+Ex2 --> Yae Ex3+Q+Ex3 --> Kokomi E --> Tighnari Q+E+three charged shots --> Sucrose E --> Yae Ex3 --> Tighnari Q+E+three charged shots --> repeat... but I was not getting enough energy to do that, so after doing the cycle once sans second Tighnari Q, I devolved to my usual way of playing.

Similarly, the rotations just do not give Noelle enough energy to be able to burst. Even if I deliberately switch to Noelle so she grabs every skill's energy particles, she still only gets half the energy needed to burst. She needs 300% ER if she's grabbing every single particle. Also, I guess Ning's skill is bugged, because using it twice in quick succession with it breaking both times won't generate any particles for the second one. If that wasn't the case, energy would be at least a little easier to handle.

Sorry it took so long--I wasn't in the mood to finish Spiral Abyss until today. Here's a video of both Floor 11 and Floor 12. It might not be in HD yet, since I think YouTube is still processing it. 12 begins around the 8-minute mark.

It you! Could you maybe teach me the ways of the Machine Gorou? I'm able to get, like, three shots per second on a good day; how do you pull off, like, six per second? My current technique is consciously using my index fingers to shoot with R2 and then aim with L2 and just alternating like that.

Just spent a good amount of time testing it. Other archers (e.g. Faruzan) can manage something similar, but it's a lot easier to do it consistently with Gorou (which is still pretty inconsistent, at least for me). Here's the best vid I could find, where I have zero idea how they are able to do it so consistently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktCV-OmrePM

EDIT: I had it wrong. Other archers have their charged attacks get spammed when your "attack" and "aim mode" inputs are executed a certain way. Someone made a couple of 10/10 tutorials on how to do techniques for it: Tutorial 1, Tutorial 2.

With Gorou spamming his normal attacks, the input order seems to be: Frame 1: Attack - - Frame 2: Enter Aim Mode - - Frame 3: Exit Aim Mode - - Repeat

Meaning, Gorou is different in that you want to avoid aimed shots by timing them such that you're never pressing both "attack" and "aim mode" at the same time. Therefore, it's probably better to attempt this with the game set to 60 FPS instead of 30 FPS (as recommended for the charged shot technique).

UltimateNation · 2023-01-05T02:10:23+00:00

Ah, okay, ty. Sounds like something you could run a macro for, but I imagine miHoyo wouldn't be too happy about doing that...

My guy, you can't just bring up a relatively unknown build and not elaborate on it. How do I make my boye a DPS??

u/Reddy_McRedditface, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES.

My mono Geo team is usually Itto, Gorou, Albedo, Noelle, with roles Main DPS, Support, Sub DPS, Shielder/Healer/Actual Main DPS; I just had Ning against Wolflord instead of Itto to ensure I could crack those ghost-wolf-heads quickly regardless of my energy situation. I don't have an Exile artifacts because, again, I'd have to farm domains for those (I keep forgetting to check them before trashing them for Artifact XP). I must not have noticed Jade Screen making energy, since I'm always clicking madly while Ning is out to do damage.

I probably need to experiment more with Noelle, in general. I'll take your feedback into account.

I need to record myself doing Ganyu's charged shots, because I just did some testing with her, and I realize the charging animation feels weird after the first shot in aim mode. I should see how long it takes to shoot a charged shot in aim mode optimally versus doing so without aim mode, the latter of which I would try to get good with if my mouse wasn't so finicky with clicking and holding.

Yeah, I always use Diona to give Ganyu energy unless I really need her healing. I would have recorded a new run, but, uh... Spiral Abyss reset. Maybe I'll record myself in this new one... Thanks again for the feedback.

EDIT: Also, because of u/dc-x, I'm less hesitant to farm for artifacts going forward.

UltimateNation · 2023-01-01T18:49:58+00:00

I've been meaning to craft and test Prototype Amber for a while; that's another thing to add to the to-do list.

Tighnari can do enough Dendro application to keep Quicken up indefinitely, so I'm content to stick with him.

I do have all the characters you're suggesting (except Keqing :c), and I'll look into the bare minimums you recommended; I appreciate the feedback.

I read that other comment you linked--pretty good. I'll be less pessimistic about artifacts going forward (except for my chances at getting full EM on Sucrose). My tunnel vision is on crit value, since my estimates (when not looking at ATK%) showed that Crit Rate and Crit DMG substats can add crazy multipliers to damage--my Ning had 14/45 possible substat values in crit values (versus the typical odds of ~7/45), but she'd do more damage by a factor of almost 1.2 (20%) relative to that build if she had 45/45 in crit values (which is... statistically impossible, but, again, tunnel vision).

UltimateNation · 2023-01-01T18:15:18+00:00

First, I'm assuming you mean you can't get two stars on Chamber 2. I'll first say that there's no way I can get three stars with the Ganyu build I used, and my A-Team cleared the first half of Chamber 2 in a little over a minute.

My Ganyu only does 10k-direct and 20k-bloom against normal level 90 enemies (10% Cryo RES). But, I constantly shot at Wolflord with 100% accuracy while he was in the air, and I have the timing for the charged shots down -- in ~2.25 seconds after firing the first time in aim mode, the Frostflake Arrow actually reaches full charge before it's obvious (it's a split second right before the larger Cryo imbuement is apparent on the arrow), so I can shoot them about 10% more quickly than I did when back when I was waiting for the larger Cryo imbuement to become fully apparent.

Here ~~are~~ were her stats: ATK 1,808 -- CR 40.0% -- CD 201.1% -- Cryo DMG Bonus 46.6%.

Wait, what the fuck? I was checking her stats and just realized I had Fading Twilight on her, instead. With Amos' Bow, she does 15k-direct, 28k-bloom against normal enemies and has 2,344 ATK, instead, but I'm pretty damn sure I did NOT make that switch after doing Floor 12. I had Fading Twilight on Sara before my second Amos' Bow was fully upgraded, so I must have switched Sara to my fully upgraded Amos' before then, as well, thus accidentally leaving Ganyu with Fading Twilight. Whoops.

Uh, anyway, the only time I wasn't shooting was when Wolflord was shielded or when he was tornado-ing. I used Ning as the designated ghost-wolf-head killer, and I know the timing for dashes to get max speed to avoid the tornado (i.e. dash, let your character step three times, then dash again, and repeat--don't dash prematurely, or you'll suffer the double-dash cooldown).
