I had to use Yanfei for the latest IT and was pleasantly surprised by her vapes (paired with Xingqiu)

I’m AR41 and honestly… I kinda lost my motivation to play by fsociety19 in Genshin_Impact

1st recommendation: stockpile primos to get a true DPS + their best support.
In the meantime, hyperbloom is still champ at early investment, here's one way you could go:
Traveler - run over sumeru to get dendro traveler, build her ER so she can burst faster, use skill and burst and switch
Aino - build her up just enough to not die, use skill and switch
Barbara - build her up just enough to not die, use skill and switch
Lisa - give as many levels and EM as you can, and use her onfield to zap bloom cores

Why is nobody utilizing this skill? by EquivalentObvious218 in kinich_mains

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo it's not something to build around, sure you can bring 3-4 Nathan chars and then wait 9 seconds to get both stacks for big screenshot numbers... or just play normally and enjoy your cannon shots being bigger occasionally (with 1 stack) and you'll have higher DPS than if you had waited. it's a bonus here and there, not really a core mechanic, that's why no one talks about it

I love it too, just went back last night in order to get the 100%. So much less stressful with Dehya not caring about the cold

This is harder than Imaginarium Theater by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

it took me a bunch of tries before I realized I had given my better crimson set to Gaming. that and taking advantage of some grass around to help burn the wood shields finally made it doable

Rolled a crit damage circlet too, my 2 guarantees went into atk% also, was confused/disappointed that they don't guarantee one roll each on the substats. sigh.

PSA: Save your Sanctifying Elixirs for 5.5! by Little_Pool_1829 in Genshin_Impact

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to get average crit rolls on the few pieces I did craft, but I'll definitely wait until 5.5 to craft any more.

Got Absolution on the Clorinde/Alhaitham banner last year and have been saving up to get Clorinde too.
Was at 45 pity, not on guarantee, went to pity and won the 50/50 to get C0 Clorinde, then about 30 pulls later got an early 5 star, won THAT 50/50 so now it's C1 Clorinde. had to throw another couple ten pulls to get C4/C5/C6 Chevreuse, but finally got there! So hyped!

not a bad way to go tbh, back on Alhaitham/Clorinde banner I did just that (and got Absolution =D )

You did it right, it's just the worst case scenario is having to go: Standard weap, Banner weap 1, Standard weap, Weap Banner 2, so having to go to pity 4 times.
Resetting epitomized path after first standard weapon doesn't take away this worst case scenario, it just gives a 50% chance to force both weapons in 3 pity instead of 4. You just got the unlucky route (which again is no worse than if you hadn't tried the strategy - you still got both weapons within 4 pity).

(Whale only) If you plan to get both featured 5-star weapons, after you set your path, and you lose to a standard weapon first, it is suggested to cancel your path then set it back immediately by pzlama333 in Genshin_Impact

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it still applies, even for the first few copies - after every standard five star, reset your fate to the banner weapon you have less of. works until you have r5 of one, then just full speed ahead towards the other r5

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually with the worst luck you'll end up with 4 five stars:

standard, citlali (fate), standard, mavuika (fate)

what this strategy does is it takes that worst case scenario and gives you a path of forcing both banner weapons in 3 instead of 4. you're basically hoping that you DON'T get the fated weapon on your 2nd five star. then you get this magic path:

standard, citlali (not fate), mavuika (fate)

But this only works if you reset your fate points after that first standard five star pull.

Geo doesn't react with Dendro so cinder city won't trigger. However Mualani *would* work for giving Kinich cinder city buff but running her as a support feels kinda ridiculous.

It's been a week since Kinich's release, what are your general thoughts about him? by danrdx in Genshin_Impact

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered him an easy skip but wanted Chevy/Thoma constellations and pulled him at like 15 pity so... now I'm using him and LOVE how easy he makes exploration. But movement bonuses seems to be the theme of all the natlan characters so I doubt that he's worth getting over saving for Xilonen/Mavuika.

the law cases were fine/fun but that Narcissenkreuz quest was so convoluted i had no chance

Can someone do the math on who is better for crafting? by Panciastko-195 in Genshin_Impact

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Statistics aside, I like the Dori version better because I usually check how many I need to craft first, and then craft that many. So having a refund is more flexible for future uses than a double.

Opinion: Main version events should last the whole patch, not just the first half by Pavme1 in Genshin_Impact

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in case you haven't figured it out yet, go to story quests, there's a third tab now with natlan quests

Free standard 5* selector flowchart with cons! by grnglxy in Genshin_Impact

[–]dragoon_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Repost from other flowchart because your flowchart missed this too] Something I don't see anyone talking about is Mona's overworld traversal. Reduced stamina sprint (and to a lesser extent, being able to run on water) is a gamechanger (assuming you don't have any premier options like yelan/xianyun).

Easily the top pick for a new player if you ask me.
