Next time, we need to talk about what goes in these opening posts before Ulti oh-so-helpfully finishes our topic by telling us to play undertale. (Thanks, Ulti...not.)

Also, is there a version of that Board UID list that doesn't require me to log into OneDrive?

Happy Windtrace, everyone

I gotta get new artifacts for my Xiangling. Shes using super outdated crap from almost a year ago.

Floor 12 has broken me. I either cant keep up with healing and die or cant do enough damage and run out of time with all the teams Ive tried so far anyways :(

https://ibb.co/37Vw3q7

Anybody got a suggestion for 2 teams that can actually survive and kill the enemies? Ive mainly been using Noelle, Bennett, Qiqi and Diona for healing. Ive got Jean and Sayu too, but theyre not really built yet artifact wise. I probably dont have time to build them before this resets in a day or two, but Ill be building them eventually anyways.

Eula, Beidou, Fischl, Diona
Pyro DPS, Xingqui, Sucrose, Bennett
Ganyu, Childe, Sucrose, Diona
Ganyu, Childe, Beidou, Diona

One healer teams? Wow Im dying having two per team. Those fucking wolves just drain my HP so fast and feel like they have a billion HP. Cant hurt to try them out though.

You want to make sure your healers can burst on cooldown. 200-250 ER for Bennett, 150-200 for Diona w/ Sac Bow. Higher the better.

Ill have to check what they have. Im still pretty starved for actual decent artifacts lol

If ER is Energy Recharge I have no idea how to tell how high it is. It shows me in %s and my Diona says shes at 98.4% for it. I have Favonius Warbow on her since I dont have Sac Bow. Its not at lv80, but all her Energy Recharge numbers from the weapon and artifacts are at these

45.1% bow
11% flower (no luck with flowers so far)
24.6% feather
11.7% hourglass (bad rolls on a lot of them)
22.7% goblet
28.5% circlet

For the most part theyre decent, but unless you meant EM I have no idea how the hell theyre supposed to get up to 100+ let alone 200 for Bennett

Wait how do you have 98.4% ER? It should start at 100%!

My understanding is that it's just a multiplier on the orbs you get so 100% means you get normal value from orbs, 200% would mean you get 2x energy.

edit: oh I see, are you looking from the artifact screen? It should tell you the full value in your character attribute details under advanced stats

wow I feel stupid. I didnt even realize there were two different stats screens. My Diona is at 254.3% ER and Bennett is at 207.2% ER with that Festering Desire weapon on anyways (I dunno what his best 4* is). His ER artifacts could be better, but thats the best Ive got. Suppose I could swap his and Dionas since she doesnt need it that high, but I dunno how well Dionas shield is gonna be with either set.

Bennetts Ult is alot easier to get back up thanks to his E. But they should have their Ults up as you need with the amount of ER you currently have to keep your team alive, youll just have to switch strategically while trying to kill the dogs as fast as possible. Easier said than done.

Well if thats settled I just need to somehow build Beidou, Sucrose, Fischl and a Pyro that isnt Yoimiya because her attacks get wrecked without a shield to prevent interruption in under 2 days. Seems unlikely, but I can do as much as I can at least

Childe, Beidou, Xiangling, Bennett is another team you can run.

How are your weapons looking? Any 5*s?

My Childe isnt built either since I didnt even want him when he appeared. Only 5* weapons I have are Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds and Skyward Spine.

Whos using them? I always level up weapons before anything else. I dont have Lost Prayer but that should make Ningguang hit hard, I think. Skyward Spine is great for a burst support, like Xiangling.

Nobody at the moment since the only catalyst user I even sometimes use is Sucrose. I could level up the spear for Xiangling though.

The team I would focus on first:

Noelle, Ningguang, Xiangling, Bennett

Double Geo, double Pyro . You got DPS Carry (x2), supports, shields, and heals. It has everything except reactions. But this team will still output a lot of damage without them. And you have the weapons to make it OP.

Is it good even if my Ning is C0?

I can't say since I have yet to build her myself. But if I ever get a Lost Prayer it's going on her right away.

Same thing happened with Diluc who was the DPS carry when the game first started. I stuck him on my bench until a good enough weapon presented itself. That weapon should make C0 Ningguang good.

I should spend some time ascending weapons and characters before I jump up from World Level 3, right? I know when I did the last World Level quest as soon as it was available things actually were kinda tough for a bit, I imagine it will be worse here.

I suppose it depends how fast you're rushing, but I don't think postponing the world level increase is super necessary, and getting better drops is highly valuable.

Also I think you can lower it if you really need to? I recall them adding that.

You can't lower it until you reach World Level 5.

I would hold off if you're struggling, yeah. It's less efficient but it's also more annoying to grind harder enemies when you're already behind. If you don't have a good team at cap then especially wait. It depends on your team setup honestly.

Ill probably switch my focus to character building since I dont mind too much if I fail to get floor 12 finished before tomorrow. Artifacts are the worst part of it, but I can at least build talent levels and weapons and stuff. My Ning is only even lv20 at the moment I think lol

Hmm I wonder if this Xiangling build is updated. It doesnt even list Skyward Spine as a good weapon for her on any role. Apparently this one thinks The Catch, Dragons Bane and Favonius Lance are her best spears that arent Engulfing Lightning

Skyward Spine's passive doesn't do anything for her (besides the 8% crit rate) as a sub-DPS, that's why. Meanwhile, The Catch is preposterously good. Dragon's Bane has a great passive as well and will probably overtake a R1 5* with refinements. Favonius Lance I don't think is worth it? IIRC it can't trigger from off-field and if you're building her main DPS...either way Spine is better.

I think her most up-to-date best weapon is R5 Wavebreaker's Fin but that was a limited 4* so unless you whaled on whatever specific weapon banner it's Homa>EL>Catch>all other spears.

All polearms were made for Xiangling.

Nope. No exploits for me. Just gonna take it easy and play super casually

Oh god gotta farm more Emblem of Severed Fate for Xiangling now :(

Phew, won while being in disguise. I found out that you can grab the Favor as Rebel when I was the Hunter and someone took it. Makes things easier in the last minute to win.

Enkanomiya

Seems like Skyward Spine has less ER than The Catch, but makes up for it by having a higher base attack and stuff. Ive got it to lv80 now at least so Ill slap it on Xiangling I guess. Gotta get good artifacts for her for it to really have any kind of impact though because her current set is terrible still

I'm telling you man, if you have The Catch at rank 5 the passive more than makes up for the lower attack. You don't really run ATK% on Xiangling so the higher base attack doesn't do as much.

I do have it at that. Also hmm looks like she has different artifacts for whether shes a sub-DPS or support. I wonder which to build her as.

The Catch is better for Xiangling, forgot about that weapon.

Xiangling is a burst support. So high ER is all you really need, EM for reaction teams. 4pc EoSF.

Yeah most of her teams use reactions so if you're using The Catch you can use an EM sands/Pyro Goblet/Crit hat. If you ever give her an EM weapon like Dragon's Bane you sub an ER sands in.

Cloud Retainer best mom

Starting 47 pulls into pity, 109 pulls on Shenhe's banner:
3 Chongyun
4 Ningguang
1 Jean
1 Rust Bow
1 Noelle
1 Flute Sword
1 Sayu
1 Stringless Bow
1 Shenhe
1 Yun Jin on the last pull right after getting Shenhe

Now to save up for Yae

I wonder if the same teams will work for the new Abyss. I kinda doubt it since Ive heard a lot of people saying its quite hard to do this time.

I've been in saving mode since getting Eula. I feel bad for anyone who still needs Zhongli or really wants Ganyu.

Rumor is Zhongli and all shield users are getting nerfed. Ganyu, on the other hand, got even stronger thanks to Shenhe.

Getting nerfed in the sense that Venti has been steadily nerfed by the choice of enemies in abyss, maybe.

Less rifthounds probably means you can get away with less healing/more shielding.
The only change I made, though, was swapping out Klee for Yoimiya
