Current Events > Genshin Impact General 23: You have a choice but you will choose Yunjin.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hate the fact both XQ and Bennett are top tier. I hope they release better characters to powercreep them. I don't know what they were thinking with Bennett but both of these are boring characters to me

Xingqiu has waaaaaaay too much utility for a 4-star.

I like them being top tier, and subsequently harder to powercreep.

I feel bad about Kujou Sara, though. Needs C2 to be braindead one push button and even then, she can't replicate Bennett, although not being tied to burst is a positive aspect.

I don't know why, but my luck for Xiao's gear rolls has been significantly better than any of my other characters.

That 150% ER + C1 makes him feel a lot more comfy to use.

Well gee, the Electro Hypostasis is a lot easier with Hu Tao lmao.

She's such a bizarre character. Half the time I think she's overrated, and half the time I think she's on a whole different tier than even Ganyu.

I just Klee it.
Activate burst, watch as recovery nodes shatter one by one.

Ayaka's burst is hilarious on it too and she can flood cryo applications

Ok so I can't decide between R4 Skyward Harp and R1 Amos on Ganyu.
SH yields much better Crit stats but R1 seemingly has a better passive (though it doesn't impact the Q and E damage)

R4 Skyward Harp:

This is for a Melt Ganyu

BTW having tried her both ways, I actually think the Sub DPS Ganyu role you unlock at C6 is a lot more useful than her Main DPS role.

It sort of turns her charged shots into mini spammable ults

Waterboy over here be slappin' for 100k for no reason

Just gotta final ascension her and my Yanfei is done.
Only thing that bothers me is the low energy, but oh well.

The best part of doing this is I can just stick the artifacts on Ganyu if I ever want melt.

I honestly have no idea how you get the crit damage so high, unless you're using a crit damage weapon?

Crit damage weapon, crit damage circlet

I take it your other artifacts rolled really well on crit rate too?

Yup, benefit of using the Wanderer set.

don't mind me, I'm just jelly =)

I'm building Lisa right now and holy shit her charged E does SO. MUCH. DAMAGE.

Okay, I felt sorry for Tartaglia in this and now won't mind getting him

I had a dream that Chongyun go put into Smash Bros and he had some OP combos lol

Noice.

I want to go the overload route with mine; apparently stacking EM only is most effective for that build.

We got some info on the artifact set for Xiao but it seems very specific, maybe even too specific lol

It seems to just be a 10% atk boost when losing hp x4. Xiao might be the only constant hp drain character so far but should work for anyone fighting corrosion enemies. And would be useful when Dendro/Pyro burning reactions become more readily available, assuming they don't change it too much.

peeps on the GI board have said amos is better--i asked them the exact same thing for mine

Yeah I tested it out yesterday evening. Seems like with aimed shots the Amos Bow does like 40% more damage (wtf).

But conversely, the E and Q damage is better with Harp. Not by a lot, though.

Either way, I've never seen a "custom weapon" with such a large disparity in damage compared to other 5-star weps. The difference between Tartaglia with Thundering Pulse and Skyward Harp was around 10%, which is negated with refinements anyway.

It did make me think, though. Tartaglia's charged shots actually do a LOT of damage. I wonder what he'd be like with Amos using ranged as a burst vape.

Also, C1 Venti's tri-arrow can proc three Fischl attacks. Makes me wonder.

Apparently there's a subplot where Yae Miko challenged Itto to an eating contest but she put tofu (he's allergic to beans, including soy) in all of his food. And he kept eating because he wanted to win that badly.

She's a psychopath lol.

More reason to pull for her

Itto being basically a huge dork/otaku instead of some Shonen tough guy was one of the best surprises

BTW TIL Tartaglia + Xingqiu is a thing because Xingqiu shreds Hydro RES

Man I finally get around to artifact farming for my Yunjin and in 2 days I get a nice def sands, goblet, and hat.

This games love of giving you def artifacts is finally working in my favor lol.

Hey Tyran, thanks for goading me into building Xiangling. I have found my Ultimate Comp.

New Survey out, this time about characters, events, update content satisfaction.

Made sure to complain about Yunjin not buffing charged, Shenhe being too niche and overspecialized for a 5*, Kokomi jelly staying still for 20sec, garbage tanuki event and lack of text skipping when unvoiced.

I stopped surveying and complaining in surveys.

One voice is like a drop in the ocean anyway, and mine isn't even attached to a bucket.

I am definitely gonna complain about that shadow puzzle one in the lantern rite because it was so annoying getting stuck at 99%. Like just automatically complete the puzzle if we manage to get 95% correctly otherwise it becomes irritating to position it 100% correct just because of a single pixel being out of place

I liked the Tanuki event. I thought it was cute, and kind of a nice little nostalgia trip to visit places I haven't been to in awhile.

Anyway it's a waste of time to list every complaint you have with the game. You should really focus on a few things that you think are the biggest ongoing problems (or better yet, just one).

Tbh I was giggling at of some of the hyperbolic responses to the tanuki event.

Me: It's cute.

Someone else: ...every time he did a dance while talking to me i felt like he was taunting me...

I just noticed that Albedo's trailer from his first banner in 2020 actually showed his whole Doppelganger plot:

https://youtu.be/A3U51KyZLxE

Shortly after 1:00 it shows the real Albedo falling

Then the Doppelganger with the sword:

Then it flashes this for less than a quarter of a second:

BTW I just logged into my 100% free to play PSN account just to see how it's doing. I had the weirdest luck with that account, got Jean on the very first Standard Banner pull and then Venti in the first ten pulls of his banner. That was at the literal very beginning of the game. Then I got Keqing shortly after that. I think I hadn't even gone to Liyue yet.

Anyway, I grabbed the free fate from the mail and it gave me Ganyu lmfao.

So a F2P account at AR20-ish with Ganyu, Venti, Jean and Keqing.

My account that I started with the express purpose of playing co-op with my son managed to pull Jean, Albedo, Ganyu, a Skyward Atlas and a C6 Yanfei. And I barely ever touch it lol

My Wanderers flower and feather all turned disappointing.
Shimenawa doesn't cooperate.

Instead of artifacts for my Ganyu, I'm actually getting more good Emblem flowers/feathers for Xingqiu and Xiangling, which means someone like Beidou can also make use of them. How is this even-

Pulling Amos and going to wanderers troupe made my blooms hit for 40-50k before buffs and without melt reactions. About 70k for a charge shot.

before that I was getting 40-50k per hit.

wanderers is the best set IMO.

Yeah but my existing Wanderers pieces aren't exactly...encouraging.
(The 4th piece is a cryo wanderer goblet that rolls badly, like it only has CRIT DMG and nothing else of note).

I'm actually hoping my Shime/Emblem runs give more trashes to turn into Wanderers...

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/1/0/AAaBuVAAC6sm.jpg

The problem with Wanderer's is that it doesn't have a dedicated domain, so it's inefficient to farm.

On the other hand, if you're a long-time player, your inventory might be filled with so much garbage, you can easily craft hundreds of Wanderers right away from the alchemy bench.

At this point I'm more worried about not reaching max inventory space, lol

You actually get money for trashing purple or lower gear, and after a while you don't really need the XP anyway.

BTW my Lisa is now Lv. 50 and I'm getting her talent books today and tomorrow. I should have her at 80+ with 8/8/8 in a few days.
