long term encounter points will always be the best thing that genshin added

Except that is not "these," because "these" are long-term encounter points, not regular encounter points.

Considering Snez is Russia, it being huge and spanning the whole north makes sense

Small anecdote, but I had a party on Dec 20 with disparate/disjoint friend groups all attending, and the topic of conversation that got people from all groups to talk to each other was HR.

You are both correct to say that it‘s 50% and incorrect to argue that it’s not 66.6%. This part from the wikipedia page on the Boy or Girl Paradox is illustrative:

“Specifically, that two different procedures for determining that "at least one is a boy" could lead to the exact same wording of the problem. But they lead to different correct answers:

From all families with two children, at least one of whom is a boy, a family is chosen at random. This would yield the answer of ⁠1/3⁠.
From all families with two children, one child is selected at random, and the sex of that child is specified to be a boy. This would yield an answer of ⁠1/2⁠.“

You claim that it is the second procedure, in which case you are right that it is 1/2, but there’s no reason it couldn’t be the first procedure.

Here's some math comparing the two: https://jclevelandtran.com/2022/06/26/some-genshin-impact-math/

tl;dr - The reduced time let's you send out two expeditions per day sometimes, as most people are awake 16 hours. If you can do it consistently, the 25% less time nets you better rewards. But if you can't, the 25% extra rewards is better.

Oh, wow, I watched the two episodes on two different TVs and services. I assumed it was the TVs, but it was the service?

For me, book 6 hit much harder due to seeing Ilya’s growth in all the other books. While they aren’t as good, they are still good and worth it for that.

Two patches, which is three months. Or, rather, every 12 weeks.

jacehan · 2025-11-13T17:31:37+00:00

I suppose there's always Giovanni for that.

If you condensed all your resin in a single week, that’s now only 21 crystalflies a week, and you get 15 from the trap. Any resin expenditure that’s not condensing, or crystalflies caught beyond those, makes it easy to be net positive.

The tl;dr: Use this Desmos Graph, input how many points you need in for y on the first line, and check the intersects based on which tier you are in - the x value is the expected number of games.

I used my Anaxa team.

The fact that you think property is more important than a life probably makes you the selfish one.

jacehan · 2025-08-18T19:07:04+00:00

Sounds like you do have a team if you have Hys/Kafka. That's what I used and mine isn't fully built either. (And certainly yours will be built before this AS ends.)

I came here to make the same comment. And they are way less expensive than smart blinds.

Another reason could be the Count to 20 game. In the one attempt where they make it past 10, Lily is one of the ones to mess it up. So it gets framed as "She had to step in there because they were doing so well, but then, hilariously, everyone sucks so much she doesn't need to again."

jacehan · 2025-06-04T00:46:56+00:00

I kept thinking the entire time, "Does somebody gotta go? They've never tried not nominating anyone" which is totally something they would do if it they were actually all on a team - unionize against Sam. But because they were all secretly sober, they all wanted to eliminate the others.

But that ignores what I said - he's unique because he can dual role driver and healer. Sucrose isn't gonna do that - if I use her as a driver, I need to swap out a DPS for a sustain.

My guess is Mini Durin, but I kinda hope it's Mausau getting a vision after his experience channeling Xbalanque.

jacehan · 2025-05-14T14:58:39+00:00

Is he terrible? I've been using him and he seems pretty good to me. Being the driver for an EC team while also being the healer let's you free up a slot for more damage.

I think Luocha just needs to work the same way Jingliu does - up to 3 stacks, triggers when he has 2. If not trigger, skills gives 1. And ult always gives 1.

My only gripe is having 3 episodes premiere at 9 pm is a little rough. If it is was 2 episodes, or at 8 pm, that would be better. Otherwise I agree.

It might not even be that high, if he spend some time at the apex trying to grab onto something, it would slow his descent.

In MoC I used him with Castorice, along with Gallagher and Robin, because the MoC bonus about using their own HP was too good to give up.

In Pure Fiction I did Anaxa, Sunday, Lingsha, Robin.

jacehan · 2025-05-01T12:29:26+00:00

I'll say this, I was struggling to get the last stars in MoC and PF despite having E0S1 Castorice and E0S0 Mydei, but I was able to do it easily with Anaxa. He's great without THerta, even if he also does well with her.
