Hmm, canonically strongest...

Anemo has a "weak" archon who's absolutely pulling his punches, a yaksha, a birdmom, the acting grandmaster, and a dude who deflected the unblockable attack. Oh, and a harbinger.

Geo has Zhongli, a woman with a flying fortress she can drop on people, a himbo oni, a renowned alchemist, a mobster, and a maid who somehow overpowers all the knights of favonius.

Electro has the wielder of the Musuo no Hitotachi, her right hand, her foxy familiar, a sea captain who cleaved a sea serpent in half without her vision, a champion duelist, and a raven that is so powerful it has a human for a familiar.

Dendro has a weak archon, a "feeble scholar," a forest ranger, an apothecary...yeah, it's not dendro.

Hydro has a dragon sovereign, an astrologer, a secret agent, a priestess, a deaconess, a dancer...I feel like Neuvillette's not being supported by his team here. Oh, and a harbinger.

Pyro is a hapless adventurer with the power of bad luck, Batman, a little pyromaniac, the Fatui's head of the House of the Hearth, her lieutenant, and a special ops captain.

Cryo is a qilin, an exorcist who could freeze an incoming tsunami (and her nephew), a champion boxer, secret agent nun, the Knights' cavalry and reconnaissance captains.

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone important. (And no, I did not list everyone on purpose.)

For a girl with virtually no story aspects Noelle is comically strong. I dunno if she would compete with a god, but her character story says shes very strong and pretty agile too. I mean she can lift an entire bookcase with 1 hand to clean under it without a single book falling. She was also so strong she nearly made Mondstadts blacksmith too depressed to work because all the Claymores he made her lost their edge quickly because she was stronger than they could handle. Shes also basically doing all the work for the nobody knights just as a distraction because her sense of helping others is so strong Kaeya and the others fear shed basically get herself killed over it. Hard to say what the strongest element is character wise especially since we havent seen some characters still.

Speaking of adventuring I should probably work on exploration before Natlan drops and I am ridiculously behind. Hell, if there's a summer event zone it'll destroy me.

As for strongest element, that's an easy Hydro for me. Busted element gameplay wise, Fontaine has a lot of heavy hitters in the lore too. Maybe the worst thing you can say about it is that there's barely any 4*s

Dude, if that goblet is on-set, it's amazing. Getting almost 40 CR with one usable other sub is fantastic. Hitting 4/4 valuable subs just doesn't happen. I think I have like 5 total pieces like that in 3+ years of Genshin.

Well, we know he can punk Childe easily enough, who was able to hold the narwhal at bay for some stupid length of time. Beyond that, hard to say. In non-combat he did...the thing at the end of the archon quest, but otherwise we don't really have a read beyond reasonable guesses.

Any of those other codes for primos?

Performed a bit of oceanic genocide for the second straight day. Still haven't bothered to complete the new area. Just doing bits and pieces of it in lieu of commissions. If there isn't something to look forward to in terms of content next patch, it's going to be very dead for me. I already drained as much of my bank account on Project 9/9/9 as I dare to, and this current batch of artifacts is not remotely exciting to farm.

azuarc
05/16/2024
05:43 PM
#25
Sara is really awkward to use, especially before C2, however her whole thing is that she applies a lesser version of Bennett's buff. Because it only lasts for 4 seconds, though, you really need to immediately use it on one quick strike ability or something that snapshots. Raiden is currently the only electro character who really has a hypercarry team that would justify this usage. And, of course, it has to be electro because she provides a damage bonus and, at C6, a crit damage buff to electro.
Only the exceptions can be exceptional.

Thats what makes me wonder if she might work with Clorinde. Maybe even Keqings skill would do though?

Raiden hypercarry is with Bennett, Kazuha and Sara. Replacing Raiden with Yae or Keqing is just weaker and they prefer dendro teams with more sustained damage.

Clorinde is looking like she'll want the same team as them, which is kinda disappointing.

There's also the option with Chevreuse I guess. But right now I find the most comfortable Chev team to be Raiden/Yae/Chev/Xiangling. I could see Clorinde replacing Raiden there cus field time.

Having 4 rolls (or 3 depending on interpretation) in CD for an on-set CR circlet if always good considering you're trying to hit exactly one substat. Even if you start with 4 subs, assuming equal distribution, that will only happen 0.97% of the time. And even less for a 3-stat artifact. Also, I generally think of CD rolls as wanting to average at least 7%, which this one does np, so you didn't low-roll them, either.

Apparently I need to do some other quests first, but the two characters are already on the island instead of needing to be rescued so hopefully I didnt mess it up somehow. Still missing 2 artifacts for my Arlecchino too, but I got a feather thats got more crit rate/DMG and no EM. Its probably better overall
swordz9

So this second feather is better for Arlecchino so I replaced the one that had 16.3% Crit DMG, 40 EM and Crit Rate 6.6% with one that has Crit DMG 15.5%, Crit Rate 14% and two lol HP stats for now. Still need a flower worth a damn and a sands (technically have one with 46.6% ATK main, 12.4% Crit DMG, 3.5% Crit Rate and 2 trash stats, but can do better than that surely)

Sounds like we should expect Chevreuse to be on Sigewinne/Furina because including a new character AND Chevreuse on Clorindes debut banner would probably be way too generous. That animation they showed was for the Genshin anime wasnt it? Or is it for an animated short like we got with Arlecchino? Still think Lumine shouldve been the canon MC over goofy Aether, but looks good
azuarc

If they include Chevreuse at all, though I would definitely prefer her with Clorinde.

And I assume it's for the anime, given that it has no relevance to the current story, but we haven't heard a peep about that since they first announced it, so *shrug*.
