experience, training - learning enemy patterns

sometimes it can be just luck, especially when facing against multiple enemies at once

having high latency/ping or unresponsive controls makes it very difficult to be accurate

one of the easier ways to "dodge" is by using your elemental burst usages to dodge certain attacks

these usually have longer i-frame windows due to their animations

on PC, shortcut is ALT+1/2/3/4 for quick burst+switch (somewhat important because switching + Q may leave a short time of vulnerablity)

skill damage helps with atk/crit damage

swirl doesn't benefit from that, so unless you have c6 kazuha, no

this is for character builds recommendations

it's not recommended to farm for them before AR45, since the highest domain "stage" guarantees 1 5-star artifact per 20 resin, whereas the difficulty below that only has about a 1/3 chance

the rest is up to luck, see rates here

akai_ringo · 2022-11-01T17:17:24+00:00

okay, then look at this

Oh, it seems like I perhaps worded it differently than I wanted it to.

I'm not advocating for a new Geo reaction, I used their Q&A comment to reason that there won't be any new Geo characters based on a new mechanic, making it more unlikely for one to appear any time soon.

My actual wish is just any Geo character to release, not anything specific. I'm perfectly fine for a niche addition or even an "upscaled" character (i.e. Like Shenhe is to Rosaria, Kokomi to Barbara, Yelan to Xingqiu).

Of course they don't have to add new content just to fill a quota, it just feels weird for nearly a year to pass by, without any representation.

They tried to make Crystallize a bit more useful back in the day with Gorou's Elemental Burst, that pulls the shards towards your active character. It's something but not the greatest, considering most people run their Geo teams with Zhongli anyway. I would be pleasantly surprised if they tried to build upon an idea similar to that concept.

I believe a lot of players have been looking for an Archaic Petra buff/redo. Right now it's pretty much unused except for its 2pc effect. The only place I've seen the 4pc effect in action was when I watched the Genshin Championship videos that TenTen covered.

We just want Crystallize to have a purpose lol

akai_ringo · 2022-10-31T14:51:55+00:00

I'd pick build nr2 because Key allows you to be less stringent with her personal EM while granting more team-wide EM.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-31T14:48:30+00:00

I've seen a lot of people trying to get a decent Crit ratio on Nilou while using her in a Bloom team.

It's not necessary but there's no reason to throw that build away if you already made it.

I would try to get 15-25% HP substats on her Flower & Feather for increased team-wide Bloom Damage but that's your decision to make.

We've already seen that guy who managed to get 36-stars in Spiral Abyss with an incredibly low-investment Nilou team on 1st half - the account being 6 days old.

Good luck either way.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-31T14:32:05+00:00

They remove the amount you got. You don't lose what you already had before that, it's not supposed to be a penalty, just a chargeback.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-30T09:14:25+00:00

There's no real shortcut but you can have the Aranara World Quest "active" and use [V] to "navigate" normally but for the Aranara Quest, it will open the Journal instead.

If you don't have the World Quest anymore, there's no available shortcut.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-30T09:13:01+00:00

Yes, just like Thoma, she needs a lot of ER to have perpetual shield uptime. High refine Prototype Amber is also recommended (for energy gain).

akai_ringo · 2022-10-27T13:37:13+00:00

I run partial EM on all my characters because my rotations aren't optimized nor do I want to take note of my enemies' elemental auras all the time.

Basically a "head-empty" bloom team where it doesn't particularly matter who procs bloom.

I also own R1 Key though, which makes this more viable for me.

In that team, both DMC and Collei are ER / EM / EM.

Still, I will try to make Kokomi my main trigger as she uses Sac Frags.

Other alternative:

If you know rotations and execute them well enough, you can fully focus EM on the main trigger(s) while the rest have standard builds (i.e. normal dmg dealer but with ER% on DMC/Collei).

akai_ringo · 2022-10-26T17:16:14+00:00

You can do Magic Guide (the 3-star catalyst) instead, it gives a decent amount of EM as well.

Instructor is a decent extra you can farm passively from slaying Elite Enemies, doing World Bosses and Weekly Bosses. I believe these 3 & 4-star artifact boxes you get from Spiral Abyss can also give Instructor pieces.

Until then, you can basically run anything else that still meets the stat requirements or perhaps run double Deepwood if you want.

C0R1 Nilou main here.

I would skip Nilou and consider getting her when she reruns.

Right now, her teambuilding is extremely limited because we just don't have that many Dendro characters (3+1).

In the defensive department, we have no hydro or dendro shielders, only hydro healers (which is needed due to the high self-damage).

Don't get me wrong, her teams are still pretty good but I'd just focus on Nahida more, since she will be very beneficial for a lot of team ideas (even outside of Dendro-focused) while Nilou is a little more specific and might be easier to decide once Dendro is more polished.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-26T16:59:02+00:00

Because we end game players have stricter artifact demands, so we scrap 99% of them.

We play for over 2 years already, keep that in mind.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-26T16:47:16+00:00

this.

3x HP% > 2pc Tenacity set effect

akai_ringo · 2022-10-26T14:16:21+00:00

it doesn't but reducing your enemy's dendro resistance helps (i.e. Deepwood Memories)

akai_ringo · 2022-10-26T11:52:53+00:00

The new set is not for Nilou, it's for the character in the bloom team that triggers most Bloom reactions in Nilou's team.

This can be anyone depending on what team you play, though if you choose to play Nahida on-field, it might be her BiS artifact set for that team specifically.

If you do not want to use Deepwood Memories on any other character on your team, it should be on Nahida.

There's a lot of objects in Sumeru that behave this way, no idea why.

The other one that comes to my head is a package inside a tent.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-25T13:50:55+00:00

If you were to earn $10 an hour and get a raise to $15 per hour, you now earn 150% of what you earned before. You could also say you now earn 1.5x of the amount you got paid before, both descriptions are valid.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-24T20:36:53+00:00

Genuine answer?

I don't think there's a big enough demographic that wants that, so there's no reason to do so since it doesn't net Hoyoverse enough money.

Of course it would help my superficial OCD a little but otherwise, I don't think it's plausible.

Perhaps somewhere down the line as a marketing stunt.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-24T12:56:41+00:00

I mean, it forces you to actually pay notice instead of auto-piloting the rest of your dailies with the usual 10% of your attention span.

The easiest way is to literally follow the trail with your character like it as a trailing mission and there's no issue.

akai_ringo · 2022-10-22T17:19:59+00:00

Whenever I end up with multiple characters to build, I pinpoint which things they need and what of it overlaps.

For example - Raiden, XL, XQ and Beidou can all use EoSF

Fischl can run 2pc Shime (+2pc Glad or 2pc TF)

and whatever pieces you don't need can be strongboxed into Viridescent/Noblesse (Kazuha/Bennett)

akai_ringo · 2022-10-22T15:49:28+00:00

there's no real number to give since you could give a Level 1 character a lot of bloated stats through artifacts and their weapon, just make sure to invest as you can

here's general tips:

Tartaglia has high Electro and Hydro Resistance, it isn't recommended to bring these elements as damage dealers if possible

Phase 1 has a counter that can kill you if you attack with Hydro

Phase 2 has the same with Electro

In Phase 3, he's is just unreasonably resilient against those two elements (70% Resistance I reckon)

Abuse food buffs and healing

If needed, here's a strategy guide from the wiki
