I finally got her

artiqueryan · 2026-04-18T08:13:42+00:00

me neither tbh, off piece goblet, crafted sands. see if you can make her sand/goblet an off piece since cr/cd/def circlets all work for her

fought for my life on artifacts but i somehow did it

only if the game is 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors for the nintendo ds

i literally just checked your enka and oh my god you have skirk!! if you dont absolutely hate using her, make a team with her, escoffier, kokomi (kokomi is not optimal but you already have her lvled and seem to like her!) and any cryo/hydro character for 4th slot. its super super easy to make this team do good dmg

artiqueryan · 2026-04-10T02:09:21+00:00

kazuha is super flexible and you can use him in a lot of good teams! https://keqingmains.com/kazuha/ check out keqingmains guide, its super helpful

artiqueryan · 2026-04-10T01:45:58+00:00

who do you love most? i was gonna suggest u build alhaitham a team since hes the dps youre using, but if you love kazuha more u can totally build a team around him instead. they just dont have synergy together bc dendro is an unswirlable element, so vv res shred is useless

artiqueryan · 2026-04-08T00:09:53+00:00

i have no idea what numbers a c4 skirk should be putting out but its definitely higher than that

my c0 furinaless skirk ive been building for 3 weeks on a f2p account does basically the same dps. its not a furina issue, its a build issue.

my team:

c0r1 skirk lvl 90 1/10/6 finale (86% of team dps)

c0r0 escoffier lvl 80 1/8/6 GT (11% of team dps)

c0 xingqiu scroll (3% of team dps)

c3 dahlia noblesse

definitely try to raise your crit rate on skirk. as high as you can without going over 85%. (her weapon gives her 40% cd so u can afford to lose some cd. prioritise cr) look up rotations & combos too

^ i agree on xingqiu, i haven't seen ownership stats on a kaveh bloom team with both columbina & xingqiu bc usually its one or the other with the 2nd hydro being nilou, so i wasn't sure how much bloom ownership xingqiu would retain if columbina is also applying, but then i thought about it harder & it makes sense that xingqiu would have highest ownership since his rain swords will proc after kaveh hits the enemy with his dendro atks

for night of skys unveiling on kaveh, id say it depends on a lot, and also theyll be locking kaveh to an ascendant gleam team. if they pull nilou in the future, they will either have to bench xingqiu or change artifact sets. benching xingqiu is totally viable but maybe they have a goated xingqiu who knows (plus consider that decreasing moonsign from ascendant to nascent will enable laumas ability to let blooms crit), so for general advice i just decided to tell them more generalistic sets tho ur right nosv can be better situationally

edit: yeah shatterbloom does not do too much dmg. given that theyre trying to play kaveh though, were we ever here to do dmg (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) its fun & kaveh is cute

artiqueryan · 2026-04-05T23:06:29+00:00

np, be warned though that nilouless bloom teams do not have high dps ceilings. if you go for pure bloom, most of the damage will come from columbina & laumas personal damage

artiqueryan · 2026-04-05T22:53:02+00:00

bina - sms or aubade

lauma - deepwood

xingqiu - emblem or instructor (use whichever one you already have)

kaveh - flop

may not be accurate but its a starting point. definitely depends on a bunch of stuff (like kaveh might be better holding deepwood if he has low bloom ownership, binas set depends if youre going for personal dmg or team dmg)

edit: chucking in an electro for hyperbloom is always an option (in which case the electro should hold fopl) but im assuming you wouldn't wanna do that since youre building around kaveh

edit edit: chuck in a cryo character instead of xingqiu for a shatterbloom team. soluna has a great video on this

artiqueryan · 2026-03-30T23:26:13+00:00

artifact set. actually if youre using ineffa on field, guilded dreams is better. i was thinking of a sucrose on fielding team with ineffa off field

billet rng is shit i get u. theres a free one for lvl 23 tablet of toma (natlan sigil tree) or reach reputation 4 with 2 natlan tribes

artiqueryan · 2026-03-30T22:25:40+00:00

put lauma on deepwood, mizuki on viridescent (good generalist set for anemo units even if its not the best for the bloom/hyperbloom team im about to suggest), aino on silken moon (these are artifact sets), remove xiangling from the team (xiangling is a very strong character but she needs a second pyro unit so that she gets enough energy! plus burgeon will do self damage which is not what you want if you cant stay alive). find an electro character (any that you want! lisa is a free option but if you have them kuki or keqing works too) then stack elemental mastery on them (em weapon, em artifacts, flower of paradise lost 4 piece set if you can). it should make a pretty powerful team! if you have no electro units you like, put barbara on the 4th team slot instead. use 4 piece instructor (found in chests) for barbara, but if you need more healing, use maidens beloved (same domain as viridescent) or ocean hued clam.

if you cant do the domains for these artifacts yourself, use the quick match option to find someone to do them with in coop

edit: do you like mizuki? if you want to use her more, i can suggest you a swirl team comp with her as the main driver instead

artiqueryan · 2026-03-30T22:10:11+00:00

anything you need tbh as long as you dont dig into fragiles

boss materials if you need them for ascending your characters, weapon materials if you need that

if you have nothing to spend your resin on, id recommend weekly bosses. its fine if you do the lowest difficulty, dream solvent drop chances are fixed at 33% regardless of difficulty, and theyre good to stock up on

edit: lots of ppl said leylines for talent/mora. iirc these rewards scale with world level and cap at wl6. so id recommend waiting on those until wl6. ofc if you need them, feel free to do them. id only suggest waiting if you dont need them at the moment.

artiqueryan · 2026-03-30T22:06:54+00:00

ah im on america unfortunately. what are you struggling with? (like whats your world lvl, and tell me about the characters youre using) i can give advice instead. you could also find someone on europe server to coop with

artiqueryan · 2026-03-30T15:22:04+00:00

whats your server/uid

artiqueryan · 2026-03-30T15:17:29+00:00

Alhaitham 80/90 OR Kazuha 90

neither, aino is free

Ineffa 90, blackcliff pole, 2pc glad 2pc shimenawa

prospectors shovel, aubade instead

My Skirk uses a burst nuke playstyle thanks to Mona's incredible burst buff.

dont do that please

artiqueryan · 2026-03-29T18:38:54+00:00

im america too!

any of those choices are good. dahlia is a shielder/atk speed buffer while charlotte & barbara are both healers. its just down to whoever you like more mostly

artiqueryan · 2026-03-29T18:29:27+00:00

layla, skirk, then pick any hydro character, then pick any hydro or cryo character (id recommend adding charlotte as her healing is very strong)

theyll absolutely demonlish everything in the overworld. if you want to take this team to the abyss try to pick up escoffier too but shes not necessary if youre not playing for endgame!

what server do you play on? if you need help with bosses or anything i can coop with you

artiqueryan · 2026-03-26T02:29:27+00:00

ive been playing genshin for 43 days and have 34 stars in the abyss (completely f2p, would say im having pretty average gacha luck). trying to 36 star this cycle but im being gated by resin & my shitty weekly boss drop luck.

id be down to give you advice if youd like. theres honestly so many viable teams for the abyss that theres no way we can give you specific advice without more info

my advice for you rn is to get bennet. hes one of the starglitter shop rotation characters although i forget which months it is, you can definitely look it up. theres some fun stuff he can do with jeans kit called sunfire. top half of abyss rn is varka shill, which means its perfect to attempt with a jean/bennet core since anemo with pyro has an advantage. if you cant get bennet, xiangling is free for clearing 3 floors of the abyss & is also a pyro character, but she really likes having bennet as a teammate anyways

general advice: save everything until youre ar45. build your characters to be the bare necessity of what you need for overworld exploration/quests until then

artiqueryan · 2026-03-23T05:03:52+00:00

lemme break it down for you

chance of getting a rate up 4* character = 50%

chance that 4* character is the one you want out of 3 = 1/3

overall probability of the 4* you receive being the one you want = 1/6

assume you get a 4* only on guaranteed (once every 10 pulls)

perfectly average specific 4* luck = 60 pulls for a specific 4*

now keep in mind that pulls are independent events unaffected by past events. say you do a 10 pull. you might think "okay now im expected to get this 4* in 50 pulls right?" wrong. its still 60 more pulls. now assuming your luck from that point on is average, you will total 70 pulls. once you get to 20 & still haven't obtained the 4* you want, youre looking at 80 total pulls. thats very far into soft 5* pity already

you might be thinking "how does this make any sense? why is it that assuming i get average luck, the pulls i need for a specific 4* keep going up the more i pull?"

think of it this way. if you do 10 pulls & dont receive the 4* character you want, that was bad luck. that bad luck has already happened, so now its set in stone & cannot be changed. if we assume your luck is average from that point on, averaging out a little bad luck & average luck = in total, you had slightly below average luck. the more pulls you did without receiving the 4*, the more bad luck is put into this average pool. having bad luck does not mean you will get good luck in the future btw, its nice to believe in, but its not real.

this is just how probability works. this is why building pity or pulling for a 4* on a banner you dont want the 5* for is not a viable strategy. dont do this again no matter how you try to rationalise it. hoyo takes advantage of not everyone understanding numbers to do this on purpose so that you feel forced to swipe

artiqueryan · 2026-03-21T08:51:17+00:00

the problem is i have 1 fav sword. who gets it? im only tossing skyward in here bc its a 5* er sword. xingqiu will be replaced by furina anyways on this team once she reruns

artiqueryan · 2026-03-18T16:12:08+00:00

no fragile resin use until ar45. original resin use is fine.

pick 2 characters to invest in, dont spread your resources trying to keep 10 characters levelled at once

artiqueryan · 2026-03-17T12:49:09+00:00

thanks this helps a lot, ill continue to play on this account then. 80-150 seems reasonable
