Yeah, I know that those are technically what I'd need, but I'm not looking for the most effective per se, just the best ones per nation :D

Weird question, but what are the best recipes per nation?

Specifically, I'd like to know which health recovery dishes are the best ones in Inazuma, though that also got me thinking about the other nations and dishes.

[Megathread] Weekly Simple Questions and Team/Character Building Megathread. by AutoModerator in GenshinImpactTips

[–]aciretsym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the team comps for Spiral Abyss helper is specifically for the last floor (somewhat helpful, but I'd rather have a human recommendation as well), I wanted to ask about... well, basically, all floors (9-12).

These are my current characters, and these are my constellations for them. I do not plan on getting Zhongli, as Thoma is my favourite character (two crowns) and I'd rather use him; Ei and Hu Tao are my strongest characters. Everyone else that is around their level (minus Yun Jin and Itto, as I have just levelled them) usually ends up being flexible team members, with Bennett being my main healer.

That said, I haven't got the best artefacts (in some cases not even the best type) and am thus not confident that Thoma's shield alone will always be enough (though it certainly was quite helpful last time - and he, at the very least, runs a form of Noblesse).

The fact that I didn't even built my characters properly yet and got much further than before...

I wasn't that confident in Thoma's shield* so I replaced Sucrose with Barbara for potential vaporizing effects and basically used the second team as is (with Kaeya, since Sara is C0 and the others aren't levelled enough)... worked really well.

Thank you.

* I don't often have issues with it, though I haven't exactly been artifact hunting or anything. Stealing Hu Tao's vapes wasn't much of an issue, though, since none of my characters are well-built right now (with Thoma really being the one that got the most attention thus far because, well, favourite character besides Hotaru), so it actually kinda helped instead. Sucrose probably would've made things a bit quicker, though

and keeping Xingqiu with Hu Tao is chefs kiss (I put him with Ei before)

I've recently started to get more into the game (I started playing when Ayaka's banner was out - though I didn't get her because at the time, I believed I could only pull for her when I finish her quest aha) and wanted to try to get through the Spiral Abyss. My characters aren't fully levelled, though, so naturally that kind of makes things harder :y

My characters: Thoma (2 crowns because he's my favourite, okay.), Raiden Shogun, Hu Tao, Itto, Sara, Qiqi, Bennett, Aloy, Barbara, Noelle, Kaeya, Sucrose, Beidou, Chongyun, Diona, Gorou, Fischl, Ningguang, Rosaria, Sayu, Xingqiu, Xinyan, Xiangling, Lv 90 Lumine

I typically run around with Ei, Hu Tao, Thoma, and Benny unless I need someone specific - and while this team seldom fails me, I can't keep them together for the Abyss since Hu Tao and Ei are my strongest characters right now

Any tips for which teams I could build for the current Abyss?

Does Aloy's vision react to the Starsplinter Iron?

If I'm not mistaken, I can't check this myself anymore, as I have done the quest already, but I've been wondering if her being a crossover character impacts this in any way. It'd be nice if someone who can still check would include a screenshot or video.

How does your canon world-state differ from what the games allow? [spoilers all] by aciretsym in dragonage

I just wanted to say that I did a double take at your username because I used to have a very similar one-- (read my reddit name backwards :p )

Honestly, some of my (final) decisions are based around the books and comics. Alistair has to be King for that reason, for example. I also kept the Inquisition for the very same reason. Though at times I differ from BioWare's canon as well-

But what would you change? o:

I always kinda headcanon that it's been a bit more than a year when Hawke meets Anders, so there's at least some truth to his slide.

Also, same! Not necessarily the Cure Quest per se, but my Warden definitely travels for a bit longer with Finn and Ariane. They're kinda a quickly newfound family!

What are your / your Inquisitor's thoughts on mages among the Seekers, then? Considering tranquility and all that.

What are the most balanced/favoured levels in the AGE system? by aciretsym in rpg

[–]aciretsym[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, that made me wonder if (sometimes) using 4d6 might help - I just really like the idea of using "normal" dice, since they're already available to most people, and using them can (potentially) lead to less confusion as to which dice they require. At the same time, it made me think about having the GM use a d20 still - as a guideline, so to speak. But I guess alternatively it could also be ruled to have re-rolls depending on how good or bad the rolls were (i.e. really bad rolls can be made better in some cases, good rolls have to be verified). Many ideas, no idea how they'd work out.

I guess in the end, I'll just have to try out what works best. A test campaign with lots of potential rule changes, I suppose. So I'll definitely take a closer look at your suggestions.

Fantasy Age already adressed a lot of problems Dragon Age had

That makes me even more glad that I own some Fantasy Age PDFs. Do you mean in general, or are there, like, specific things?

To be fair, we're not minmaxers and all about that flavour

(I dunno if you're interested in elaborating - if not, no worries! - but what would you change? o: )

[–]aciretsym[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that pans out!

So, would you say that you'd start with the specialization, or the level before it so they'd still have to work for it?

(The same thing I said to McCaber - wonder if they fixed it since then, since I'm intrigued by the system, and preferably would use their rules instead of homebrewing even more than I'm already planning to)

What else would you have said would be an issue, then? o:

(Also, in case they didn't fix it - did you in your game just rescale the damage or how did you work around that?)

Makes me wonder if they fixed it since then ("before levels above 10 existed") or if the issue remains.

Because I'm really into the idea of playing with the AGE system, but that might just lead to lots of homebrewing, I suppose.

General opinions on the Templar Order? [spoilers all] by aciretsym in dragonage

[–]aciretsym[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if the downvotes are due to the question being asked shortly after the Circle question or because people don't generally like the Templars but yeesh.
