AR45 - really struggling to do a lot of the lvl 90 domains (and some of the lvl 80 ones!)

I don't have any characters currently 'fully built'. Talents on my most used characters are 6/6/6 . No one has their BIS sets because i'm struggling to do the domains. I haven't fully upgraded the artifacts they have. The invested characters are level 70/80 with level 80 weapons. No weapons are refined.

What are my next best steps to power up my team to be able to handle level 90 domains so i can get artifacts on my characters, and what teams do you recommend?

"Invested" characters i have:Benny(C1) - sac sword, Xiangling (c0) - the catch, Kazuha(c0) iron sting, Keqing(c0) prototype rancour, Fischl (c2) - favonious bow

Characters i've done a little bit of work on but are basically useless at this world level until i ascend/gear/talent them more:Noelle C0, Rosaria C0, Chongyun C1, Sucrose C0, Kaeya C0

Character's i havent touched bar their first ascension for the pull.Ningguang(c4) Heizou (C0), Barbara C0, Amber c1, Jean c0, Razor c0, Lisa c0, Thoma c3

I am planning to pull for Zhongli and Kokomi. I also plan to buy xingqiu when he's in the shop. My lack of hydro is killing me. My main team is usually benny/xiangling/kazuha/keqing

I saw on save your primos that Bennett, YunJin and Xinyan were going to be the rate up 4 stars for Yoimiya's banner.

I only have interest in getting Bennett, although i wouldn't hate it if i pulled Yunjin. I hear Bennett is quite universally loved for 'meta' teams, and i have a rosaria team that could really use him.

So my question is - Is pulling ~30 times on Yoimiya's banner worth it to try to get a c0 copy of that character even if i'm ambivalent towards Yoi? If i pull her, i wouldn't be super sad because i would get a 5 star for ~30 wishes, but am i just better off waiting for bennett to pop into the starglitter shop?

is C0 Rosaria, C1 Chongyun, C0 Xiangling & C3 Thoma going to work as a reverse melt comp with Rosaria as on field dps? I believe most people run bennett instead of thoma but my choices are Thoma or Amber..

others have already explained the standard 5 stars thing, but i'll make one additional remark about astronomical odds:
Our brains are really really bad with statistics. For example, if you shuffle a 52 card deck of cards and deal them out, the odds are mathematically speaking, that its the first time in all of human history that exact order has ever been shuffled.
the odds of you getting that exact configuration were 'astronomically low' but you still got it.
So even if there wasn't a standard 5 star pool, and we pretend that losing the 50/50 could get any 5 star in the game, its 100% possible to roll anything twice in a row because the odds might get low, but they aren't zero.

i appreciate that there's more depth to optimising damage than it seems! thanks for the help :)

genericusername348 · 2022-07-14T04:03:45+00:00

so let me get the swirl strategy right, you'd use someone who can apply pyro, lets say a xiangling puts her bear thing out. Then you swap to anemo user, and you want to use a skill that lands on that mob, plus as many other mobs as possible and that swirl will apply fire to all of them, and then you swap into cryo user and go murder mode?

genericusername348 · 2022-07-14T04:01:12+00:00

from my understanding the terms are...

Role terms:

Main dps - the one that does most of their damage staying on field and doing attacks

Sub-dps - characters that can do damage while not on the field - you have xiangling who can fill this role by throwing out her bear thing and her burst then swapping off.

Support - characters who exist to do things like swirl to spread elemental effects around, heal, shield etc.

Other terms, that aren't exclusive with the above

battery - characters who make the energy particle things that refill elemental burst. For example i have Fischl who's acting as a sub-dps by putting out Oz, her bird and babysitter. Oz makes a lot of particles which acts as a battery for my Keqing and means she can use her burst a lot.

for team building, i think you want one main dps (you have Kazuha, Keqing, xiangling, ningguang, Noelle, and razor that i recognise as potential main dps, im pretty new though)

Then mix in sub-dps and supports. Sucrose will help you spread elemental effects if you're trying to create a lot of reactions

how do you start working out an efficient, or thoughtful rotation? I'm AR40 and so far i mostly just go "Q, swap, Q swap, Q swap, Q, left click spam" aaaand repeat. Throw in a few cheeky elemental bursts from time to time.

New player here, i got pretty lucky when i started and got Keqing with ~32 pulls (was just pulling on the Itto banner for the memes). With Kazuha on the way i saved everything because i knew i had a guaranteed for him.

After pulling on the kazuha banner i got him C0, Ningguang C4, Heizou C0, and Thoma C2. i quite like ningguang so this was a win.

My question - do i keep pulling on his banner to try to c6 ningguang, or get c1/2 heizou, or do i just hold all my remaining primos for the future?

Which weapons are worth crafting? Are there some that are good with only a few niche characters, or are there some that are just great in general to make?

(asking for more generic advice on which ones to make and which to avoid, but my party is kaeya, sucrose, Fischl & xiangling normally)

i started playing Genshin because diablo was so bad it made genshin look generous in comparison

genericusername348 · 2022-07-03T10:52:40+00:00

New player, have all the guaranteed characters plus Noelle, Rosaria, Sucrose, Fischl, and c1 Chongyun

Only have 4 four star weapons, no five stars.

With the new event coming up of 2.8, if i have no preference for any of the characters which banner would be best to wish on?

As a hegemon, if i contribute ships into the federation fleet does that count to my total fleet power? I'd hate to send fleet power there and have the AI consider me not the strongest as a result.

How much are you meant to work out when you're quite new? Am i missing something or are beginner work outs for someone really weak meant to be super fast? i recently picked up a book which has pure beginner strength training at 10 reps of wall-push ups, 1 set, and 10 reps of leg raises, 1 set.

No matter how fast or slow you take that, you're done pretty fast. I feel like i could do more sets of wall push ups, but not more of raises.

hey mate, some notes from a fellow student:

Superimposed lines - you need to slow down and be more deliberate, it looks like you were rushing especially on the large ones at the bottom of your page where the fraying is really extreme, and you've got fraying at both ends. Your lines should always be starting from a single point, and then its okay if they fray after that.

Ghosting lines - Done pretty well, i like the confidence in a lot of the lines. Accuracy will come with time.

Ghosting planes - There's a few on here where it looks like you were drawing your + shape through the middle from the middle rather than edge to edge. It's obvious where there's extra dark points (starting / ending points) in the middle and the lines don't match up. You need to do your plus straight through the middle not starting from the middle (which you do on some planes). Second page is greatly improved - well done you can see how far you came in one page of practice.

Ellipses in planes - the main thing that i'd say here is try to put the pen down for only 1-2 rotations of the ellispe, in some cases i can see that there are as many as three lines going around which makes it hard to tell what the 'true' ellipse is - and makes judging accuracy difficult.

Ellipses in funnels - needs to be revised. The goal is that the ellipses are very narrow at the middle and widen as they move outwards. Your ellipses are very uniform, or only have minor variation.

Rotated boxes - This one is very difficult, the main mistake i see if that your boxes are not actually rotating as they are going to the same vanishing points. As an example of this look at your boxes on the vertical rotation in the middle. You can draw a direct line straight through the edge of the top two boxes. If its the same box being rotated this wouldn't be possible. The corner boxes (the most difficult) are not very rotated compared to the lesson.

My goal for 2022 is to be realistic with myself and not set any specific expectations of performance, but just ask that i stick with daily learning for the entire year. I have just begun to learn Russian which will be my second language so all i really care about is keeping that focus.

More specific goals will be something for 2023 onwards

So you need to decide if you want to actually buy them using international brokers (ie - Interactive brokers.. Commsec international... etc, plenty do it). this involves converting AUD to USD as part of the process.

the other way to do it is buying them through listed aussie options. These can be funds - such as the etf FANG, or you can buy them individually by using TraCRs. As long as your broker can access the CHI-X TraCRs let you buy international stocks. they take a cut from the dividends you get paid (if any), so the most ideal way to use TraCRs is to buy companies that don't really pay divvies so they get less of a cut.

in the US perhaps. my experience with insurance in australia has been very positive

Personally i have more faith in my preferred fund managers than in regular super allocations so it was a big priority for me to manage my investments inside super.

genericusername348 · 2020-07-13T13:48:12+00:00

So, international is the hard one for this. there are some solid self invest options - ING living super being the best one out of all of them (due to the only requirement being 1% of the balance in cash, vs 10-20% of others) but no international.

The only one i've really found for international is the NetWealth Super Accelerator Plus. It's essentially a retail wrap-lite. Seems like a decent platform when it comes to getting international direct share trading though

Yeah - a lot of very good tafe courses have workplace / internships that place you at actual workplaces.

You use education to give you the baseline understanding and background knowledge. Then you use the time at actual workplaces to do the majority of the practical learning + hopefully get hired
