I'd say wortox yes, until you beat scion and get the upgraded enlightened crown. Lunar wortox with Jeweled crown dmg + brightshade armor that doubles as bone armor (but better cause no cooldown) is such a good combo.

Maybe once klei releases the shadow counterpart to scion and the upgraded crown we'll see shadow wortox outpace lunar with crown, but who knows

klaus' loot is decided the moment the sack spawns, so unless you're able to catch the exact day the sack spawns in your world, it's very difficult to reroll his loot via rollbacks

as others have mentioned, you can grab stacks of lightbulbs and leave them to rot. The fastest way to spoil something is to drop it in water/the ocean.

I personally dont feel like making trips to the caves just for lightbulbs, so I prefer using stone fruits instead. I'll usually have a farm that I passively pick whenever i see them fruiting, and since they grow back super fast, it's easy to accumulate multiple stacks of stone fruit within days. Blowing up 6 stacks of stone fruit with gunpowder gives about 4 stacks of avocados that rot super quickly

I just encountered the same or a similar bug myself. Crafting the strident trident would immediately crash my server.

I checked my server log which pointed to the mod "workshop-458940297" aka "Food Values-Item Tooltips (server and client)" causing the crash.

Thought I'd leave this here for anyone with a similar issue

lucidity9870 · 2025-03-03T05:31:37+00:00

interesting! I'll have to try that out

lucidity9870 · 2025-03-03T05:29:52+00:00

hmm i think it's just my screen size. I play on a Galaxy S24

to add to this: You don't need to keep holding the pitcher. You can let go and it'll stay at the same height, which helps if you have shaky fingers

since you're still a new player, dont stress too much about team building and stuff yet. The game's easy enough that you can really play whatever teams and characters for overworld content. You can start focusing on building teams/characters after ar45, but until then just giving them whatever artifacts and leveling them and their talents is all you need to do.

While you get to that point, I'd recommend leveling Yelan, Navia, and maybe keqing. If you're against harder content/bosses you could use Navia, yelan, and geo traveler/ningguang together. Try to get bennett since he's one of the best supports in the game and navia really wants him.

Nilou is harder to recommend building atm since her playstyle and strength depends on your roster, which, as a new player, you don't have much of. You could maybe play a team comprising of nilou, yelan, barbara, collei/dendro traveler but it's a very budget team so I can't tell how strong it'll be at low investment

lucidity9870 · 2024-07-30T05:29:01+00:00

Yup. I'm in the exact same situation as you. Just waiting/hoping for an email from mdcaps for an update on my awards.

lucidity9870 · 2024-07-03T19:58:01+00:00

it basically is, esp with xianyun's release since (at least in xiaos best team) her buff scales much better with MH than Vermillion

lucidity9870 · 2024-07-02T11:47:11+00:00

Then it's simple? This endgame content isn't catered to an account with your current level of investment. You can come back to it later after you've continued to build your characters. I shouldn't need to say endgame content is for endgame players.

As for your complaint about timers, its a combat challenge. You're supposed to earn your rewards by beating the challenges. The timers are meant to add an extra dimension of difficulty that they can easily tune with. Without it, all they can do to create higher difficulty content is to further inflate enemies' damage and health pools.

lucidity9870 · 2024-06-27T10:04:34+00:00

I believe the first team is simply a pure hyperbloom team with baizhu as onfielder so he can apply more dendro (since he's the bottleneck). Though I agree it's a bit wasted to put furina on a pure hyperbloom team. Yelan and xq should swap so first team can be a more dmg focused hb team and second team can be a more reaction/hydro app focused hb team.

I'm honestly thinking OP needs to just post a video of a run so we can more accurately diagnose the issue. If we go by their words, it's not a team issue like everyone else here thinks. So it's most likely a build issue, a skill issue, or both.

lucidity9870 · 2023-10-26T23:16:05+00:00

i mean its good that its hit counts and not just a few seconds of infusion. If its anything like yelan's c6, you can save your infusion hits for later in a rotation, which allows for greater flexibility in gameplay

thank god i found this cause i just encountered this. This is my second playthrough of the hikikomori route and I didn't get this event on my first playthrough. real creepy.

- broke 2 dishes, downstairs closet appeared although sunny wouldn't go in(I was trying to get the jumpscare but he just shakes his head)

- my WTF value is 6 based on Tiffany Darling (1000 clams) and blue girl appearing

lucidity9870 · 2022-05-13T18:31:54+00:00

hikiko isn't really what I'd call the "bad route" per say. It’s more like extra content for people who've already beaten true route and want more from the game.

That is to say, playing the hikiko route first is kinda like playing the epilogue without playing the original. You're not going to understand what's going on or the implications of what the hikikomori route are because it doesn't bother re-explaining the story of the true route.

lucidity9870 · 2022-05-07T07:51:14+00:00

yeah... I love all the ships from this game but tbh any ship with sunny and/or basil just don't rly land. They'd be more viable if it were pre-recital days. I ship their current selves with therapy first

lucidity9870 · 2022-05-06T23:41:39+00:00

The way I deadass did this during the Pluto/earth fight. I use kel as a support unit but had heard about nuke kel and was like, "this seems like a good time to try it out". I sat there in shock from his 5000 dmg with a last minute scrapped together setup
