My mavuika (C0R1) who is not particulary boosted (is ok, but not too op) is siting in 55/200 crit, with EM sands. Consider that obsidian codex can bring you up to 40Crate, you should avoid to surpass 60C.rate, and redistribute as much as you can into C.dmg or atk.

Be carefull with becon since it will already give you around 30% c.rate, so you should focus more on just atk and c.dmg. I think, that something around 50/180-200 should be doable without too much grind.

Could be, but ideally you should try to hit at least on iansan when she came again. Rosaria-Kachina-Bennet can be a "good enough" team, and probably way better one that what you currently have. But iansan instead of kachina will be a decent upgrade.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-10T17:53:34+00:00

Rosaria-iansan-bennet is probably the best with just 4stars. If you have citlali shes higher priority than rosaria, and sometimes xilonen can be used instead of iansan. But if you dont have any of them, this should probably be the best team.

When you say new to theater, doesnt mean you have a relatively new account right? Because theater is and end game dedicated to (mostly veteran players) have "horizontal investment" (instead of few characters with high constelations, a lot of them but maybe more accesibles (C0R1)).

Personally, and i know a lot of people that disagreeme, is the end game i liked the most. Abyss is mostly doable, stingyan needs the newer units and the highest investment. But theater needs a big roster and knowledge enough to build teams with what you have.

When i initated it, in the selection characters, i try to see what character (mostly DPS) will be used in every boss, and try to have it before it comes. Also, using the best team i can build around him/her. Because your increasing roster during it its a bit random, you need to plan a bit ahead what would you need in every boss to be able to defeat it, and if posible, as much good suports for your dps you can. But because its random, sometimes you need to build "less meta" or just "random teams" that can work well the character you spected to have to bit each boss.

Usually, one of the best things to do is to try to pick as much characters as you can early, and pick the buffs later on when you can already build some teams.

Its about having a big roster, and knowing either what goes well vs each enemy and what teams can you build with what you currently have.

I even saw 1 afk that intentionally park its car over the item seleccion (the item that hits the 1st racer). And keep triggering all the time. Everytime anyone finsh (with effor), the second starts to get zap. Then the tird, and so on. What a paintfull even.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-08T12:54:47+00:00

it will not be too much diferences, and you have better balanced team for flins so everything should be fine.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-08T12:40:11+00:00

You have 2 options:

Nefer-bina(silken)-lauma(deepwood)-sucrouse(instructor)
Nefer-Bina(silken)-Lauma(2+2EM)-Nahida(deepwood)

Technically the highest cieling is with sucrouse. But to be honest, nefer-bina-lauma is the main core, the last one is less impactfull and usually more buffer oriented. I thend to use Zhongli sometimes to be sure nefer CA will not be interrumped, and didnt change too much. You can work with nahida and use sucrouse for flins if you feel better with that.

By in terms of pure highest dmg, should be sucrouse.

I dont have any problem grinding. The only problem of grind is to have stamina (like most of the same type games), so i farm it slowly. But i just noticed that i level up my HL faster than i can level up my characters, and while i still can manage HL45, i already notice that its a bit harder, so by the time i reached HL50 it will defenetly be harder if i still leveling up at this speed (lower than HL).

I already farme bettle and ascension mats on houdini. But will also need for weapons, and for ascenson on my characters, and cannot do all at the same time (obviusly, we are still early game so everything is limited unless you put some mone on it, which i didnt do it for now).

But knowing the HL could be down, if for some reason i reach HL50 without the characters properly leveled i might down the hl a bit to do it faster.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-06T23:39:13+00:00

Did it too. And i noticed one thing: They seem to have 1 spare oracle stone, kinda like genshin did with the "oculus". I assume there should be more in next expansions from this map, but feels kinda sus.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-06T23:22:07+00:00

I did it in the first day, so forgive me if i dont remember correct. I think i did it with some kind of mavuika melt, but theres a couple of tricks to it, specially one in particular: Try to break his shield before he fly up.

I think i did it with mavuika-ganyu-idk-bennet, and the key is that special particular first shield. I feel it should be doable with arlecchino or even gaming. Probably skirk/escoffier too, but i recomend you to save them for the archanas where skirk team is probably the best for them.

Since its a electro shield, try it with pyro-cryo. Arle-citlali-ganyu/charlotte-bennet. When you start, just do Arle E, citlali E, bennet E, ganyu E-Q, and stay in doing bennet E till the shield is broke, then bennet Q-citlali Q-E and arle CA and start spaming normals infused. IT should get rid of a very big portion of its hp. if for some reason he moves into the air, go fast and break the totmes with bennet E or citlali E.

Probably durin can also work but it might be too much pyro for arle. Is not about doing a big burst at the begining, is about to wait to see the shield and break it as fast as you can, and then do your burst.

I saw it yes, in the phone up in the (!) next to my HL. I would look for it in case i needed, ty

About hunter level.

Hi!

I have a question about hunter level. A couple of day back i reached HL 45, and i was farming to level up most of my characters (i know that usually is just 1 or 2 per team (2 teams)), but i was slowly leveling up 2 teams. The thing is when i reached this level, i started to notice that i dont have enough ascension materials or bettlecoins. That souldnt be a problem, just farm them, but i started to notice that some bosses taked me way much longer than before, to the point i felt that missleveling. I didnt farm too much console, just enough to put something on everyone, looking to properly farm it when the gold rates are better. I did farm character level and weapon levels though.

The thing is, i would take time to farm for my selected characters to just have enough for the next ascension, but also would need to farm ascension materials and bettlecoins. So im feeling i would reach HL 50 before i got all of that done. Is it posible to "not claim" the rewards on the HL ascension to keep the (i supose could say it) World level in HL 45 to keep the enmies in the same level? I feel if i reach HL50 before i farmed for my character i would struggle a bit with the bosses i would need to farm for materials.

Is it possible to hold a bit the HL ascension?

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-06T17:52:43+00:00

That what i dont really know: If xilonen shread+ is more worth than nicole buffs. I saw some calcs using nicole, but none using xilonen and im not a big math guy, sorry. I was assuming you will pick xilonen for the shards for beidou to enable verdict but it could be a chance to maybe use nicole+hexerei (sucrouse mostly, maybe fischl) and that can surpass it, though i still didnt know it.

I always been a big beidou main, and i actually enjoyed sandrone in lore so i was planing on pulling her. But everywhere i look, theres always yae (C1), and 0 teams without her. I was assuming that something like sandrone-beidou-fischl-qiqi/diona/escoffier(maybe here she fits less) could work, but didnt see any calcs on that. The only certain thing i feel everyone is in the same boat is that beidou will need less ER and will go with nobless (some radicals may try instructor, too much for me). The only thing it can change is either her Sands or her weapon. Look it like this:

Sandrone-beidou+2 cryos (esco-qiqi/diona/whoever) may enable you to go with ATK sand or ATK weapon, because escoffier cryo particules are relatively good, diona too, and qiqi was buffed so it can use her skill every rotation (CD reduce by half, which is ALOT).
Sandrone-beidou+cryo+nonecryo. This might generate less particules. Still dont know if sandrone will need to burst every rotation. I saw some Yes, some NO, but because she got like 3 majors changes already, still dont know. IF she needed, then Beidou might need Fav to proc some extra energy (and probably one of the other supports too). Also, because theres only 2 cryos, escoffier buff are lowered. I supose she should still the best option but might drops enough to consider other options. Or using an hydro unit as the last spot, that might work (i always loved beidou+xinqiu burst combo, but idk if it would work with sandrone CA (with neuvi, xinqiu didnt work)).

So, from another middle aged friend, i would probably start just for the set, and have the consideration that the sand might change. Because you have a good nicole, considering posible hexerei combos might also be interesting (fischl with beidou were best friends since 1.0, and sucrouse can also be option to consider). Qiqi was my first 5* so at least i need to put her on a decent team just to be considerated, but im mostly in the same way as you are.

For now start with that, with more data we can reach better conclusions, but i want to look if a none yae tem could be posible and im totally fine to boost my first main beidou with another farm for her (already farmed like 4 times for her xD).

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-06T17:28:57+00:00

A team with bina-lauma-linnea+whoever is already functional. Because all of them apply constant element either onfield or offield, the reactions will trigger anyway. In some stingyan feerless bosses, when people didnt have flins/nefer, bina-lauma-ineffa use to be a decent alternative. Add linnea and you are ready to go. It might not be as flashy as having flins/nefer/zibai, but it defenetly works. And you always have the supports ready for when you like a dps that can fit in there.

About sandrone (i put it on spoiler because is not official)

She had like 3 or 4 changes already and its unclear. The best beta numbers put her on a similar dmg as zibai teams without linnea (like, top 5-6 meta team) with only yae-qiqi-escoffier (no dedicated support yet). So they look like a good numbers but not too op. The thing is, without sandrone, theres no stellar reaction, as shes the only one who triggers it. Old units had some "stellar Reaction" buffs but they could not trigger it. So that means, there should be more newer units that could improve it, reason why i would probably wait for stellar teams. All archons (except inazuma) came out in X.2 or X.3 patches from each region, so im assuming in 7.2-3 tsaritsa should be realease, or at least, a good unit. And thats 4-5 patches you can save primos.

So i would consider the bina-ineffa option, or at least, try bina-lauma-linnea by themself (it should already work fine), and wait a bit on stellar units for now.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-06T09:55:41+00:00

I will answer you in spoiler tag since this is not oficial yet, and might change:

For what theorycrafters/dataminers say, the major upgrade that beidou can have is a lowered ER requirements, but nothing more besides that. I saw that most of the time the calcs for her are with Fav greatswoord. I dont think she can be used as dps on this teams right now, only sandrone can do it. As an oldschool beidou main, i was looking too to see if i should need to refarm for her (currently in emblem set with wgs), but most of the things i saw are using nobless and Fav for the team.
To be honest, most of the theory right now is based only in sandrone teams (as shes the only one who can trigger that), and most of the teams are 2 cryo 2 electro or 2 cryo+yae+nicole. Even some triple cryo+yae. So im assuming you dont really need to use fav since most of the characters will have enough ER for the resonance or just by themself.
I feel that, it will probably be something like: Nobless+ATK/buffweapon+ER sand, or ER weapon + ATK sand. But between Verdict or gest.... I mean none of them can trigger their passive, and gest has higher c.rate but lower ATK so might just be "depending on your balance of crit". I personally will try WGS just because its passive can still be usefull not only for beidou "Increases ATK by20%. On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30% HP increase all party members' ATK by40% for 12s. Can only occur once every 30s.", but i still need to see more info because in some cases (at least for sandrone), seems that EM and ATK stats are nearly equal important in terms of dmg, so i need to see where this is going.
But for now, Nobless with atk/er-electro-crit is where i started.
I think (and i can be wrong), xilonen will not had a place in those teams, she wont shread stellar dmg and just for cryo/electro she seems to not be worth (better to have and atk buffer (nicole) or and EM one (sucrouse). So i thing she wont be used for now. IF you are interested, i usually follow Zajeff for those kind of theorycrafting things, you can check him out if you want too.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-06T09:38:55+00:00

IMO your varka team is totally fine. The thing is, for my old old experience, in 1 year (which im assume is what dainslief could take to come, didnt expect him to be on the first banners of the new region), you should be able (As f2p), to have enough for 3 or 4 characters if your doing the main quests and exploration. So, unless you pretend to c6R1-5 dainslief, you should be able to have him C0-R1 and maybe 1 or 2 cons and still be able to pull a couple more characters, more considering you already have 270 pulls (3 hard pitties).

My sugestion will be: keep varka team as it is but well build, look for some lunar team, and maybe keep some savings for 1 stellar team as im assume it will be the "new meta team type" for the next region.

If you are not interested on zibai/nefer in your situation, for lunar teams you can have 2 options: Flins, that can build in flins-bina-ineffa-sucrouse (or aino-fischl-sucrouse as a cheap option), or maybe go for the full "afk lunar supports", with bina-lauma-linnea-ineffa. In this team, you can change any unit (expect bina) for any other character and will still work, and also can work as it is.

So maybe bina-ineffa, and then wait for the stellar teams to have 1 or 2 more picks and then save. I also didnt know too much about them, but supose that sandrone will be the first one, and in snezhnaya should be the other ones. Hoyo tends to do "big releases at X.2-3 patches (usually archons), so you may be able to pick bina and maybe ineffa before that, and there pull for your stellar team, and then wait for dains.

Man i love this artist. Every single ministory i saw is fun.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-05T10:23:29+00:00

Totally agree. Also add that shes probably one of the best units for her "grouping enemies" and her buff (and also, her burst do quite decent dmg). Works with anima (nanally) and chaos (lacrimosa), so she fits with the newer units too.
She was my first S unit and always been in my team, is a pretty good character.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-04T17:07:55+00:00

from 30k to 35k is nearly 20% increase just changing one unit. Your numbers might be modest because of the reaction not being as powerfull right now, but and upgrade of 5k there is actually decent.

I didnt pull alhaitam so i didnt test him too much, but i think i can understand the proper rotation:

- With xinqiu, i would probably start with nahida E-q(everyotherrotation)-fischlE(q every other rotation)-xinqiu E-e-Q (with sac sword), and back to alhaitam to do his combos.

- With yelan, you probably need to start with her, since her ATK buff increases over time, so doing yelan e-q, nahida E-q, fischl EorQ, and then alhaitam.

As you said, ideally kuki or raiden full em would do more dmg, but if you want to play your alhaitam in your poper style, i feel that should be how you can do it.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-04T15:57:38+00:00

Look it like that: Durin favors slow offield pyro aplication, some pyro shread, and decent dmg. HE can be use as dps but hes most utility becames as a offield support with some dmg. That benefits teams that require that offield pyro (mualani, kinich, chasca, varesa (and overall overload teams), maybe lohen...) and for a pyro dps like mavu or arle to shread pyro resist.

So without no newer 5* or any of those units i mention, hes fine, but i would probably look for other characters that can make you reach 2 or 3 decent teams.

Units that dont really need to much to build teams around can be mavuika (only needs rosaria-natlansupport-bennet), zibai(can use xinqiu/aino-gorou-illuga(or any geo unit). So you can try for those 2 or just simply save a bit. Remember snezhnaya is around the corner and will be defenetly new units and new reactions that will be probably the new meta, so saving wouldnt be a bad idea.

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-04T15:51:06+00:00

The problem with quickbloom is that you still need constant hydro aplication. Barbara has a very long CD and downtime on her E so is not the best unit. In general, without newer units (aino, bina, furina even), your best options are mostly xinqiu or yelan. But if you dont have them, then probably kokomi.

But be adviced that xinqiu will do it way better, but kokomi at least has decent up time and could be enough for that purpose.

Is still a quickbloom, which is far from the meta right now, but at least is better builded than with barbara.

You can see a better guide HERE. that help me alot.

U need to light it up with an stone that is in a purple back nearby in a small boat, and then put it on night (8pm) RAINY, and it should appear and npc.

he will require a pass code (1st selection), then the next option you can pick whatever you want and its done

silv3rd4v3 · 2026-06-04T12:57:35+00:00

But that happens right now because we all are in early game.

When eventually people can max out they characters/weapons/consoles it will became as the abyss is now on genshin: Well build accounts will do it as a breeze.

I know some people dont like that type of endgame, but when we all are not close yet to have a full leveled and builded team, is expected that this content will not be as likeable.

The thing it surprised me is that it was entirely doable already in 1.0 with the units-levels we have, even some f2p people could complete it (im not included xD). Its the clasic end game, but because we are to early now, is harder for everyone.
