    The lyre "rhythm" game for windblume is more fun than it has any right to be on a keyboard, for me.

    The skydiving event i find more annoying than enjoyable.

    Shooting balloons is always fun.

    Ganyu's ability isn't suppressed during the balloon shooting. So uh.. that's fun.

    Neither is venti's C1 triple shot.

    I thought Ganyu's explosion shot would be useful, but it turns out you're just better off rapid firing to keep your combo up.

    I'm just glad all the games are so forgiving. I feel like I'm doing terribly at shooting, I fuck up a lot during the rhythm game, and the gliding game doesn't seem to have any sort of set path, just random placements. But I've blown past the high scores on everything every time.

    You can keep the combo up because you're hitting seven balloons at once! :rotate:

    With events like this, I have to wonder if the difficulty for most of it is so low just to account for people playing on mobile? I wouldn't mind being pushed a little more... although the shooting game in particular takes so long that I'm glad that it's super easy. It'd be real annoying if failing and having to do it again was actually a concern.

    Managed to 9-star floor 12 again in this cycle. Used a Ganyu-based freeze team instead of Xiao on my not-Beidou team this time around. I don't think that team's damage potential is as high (no Amos Bow, and freeze instead of melt for Ganyu), but it was a pretty smooth experience. Had to take a few tries to beat the timer on 12-3, but it wasn't very dangerous.

    I should really upgrade Ganyu's bow to 90. I had her using the Viridescent Hunt for a while, which is at 90, but she's firmly on the Prototype Crescent now. Weapon upgrading is slow for me since I don't bother to go mining much.

    While the rest of my roster is between 40-60, I just leveled Lumine up to 70 because I keep having the ascension materials handy. Looking at weapons in the forge, Protoype Archaic looks really good for Noelle or Chongyun, I just feel really nervous spending my precious, precious billets. Am I missing anything, or is it a good claymore for them like it looks? (I use Chongyun the most. I haven't figured out how to get really good use out of Noelle or Ningguang yet).

  • Options
    ShadowfireShadowfire Vermont, in the middle of nowhereRegistered User regular
    Noelle really wants Whiteblind since that Def buff is her bread and butter. Archaic is ok, I guess? If you're doing a DPS Chongyun it will do the job. As a backup/support Chongyun, you're better off with any of the EM claymores (I like Favonius for him).

    Prototype Archaic is very very good if you don't have other 4* claymores, and aren't planning on using Noelle. The Startomb is very good for Razor if you have Razor. But Whiteblind is like, I think it's still BiS for her above all other swords.

    Noelle's weapon choice isn't set in stone, actually

    Whiteblind is very good for her if you have a large amount of energy support, but Favonius with enough crit can allow her to be fairly self sufficient

    R5 Favonius with some extra energy recharge substats from artifacts is enough to keep 100% uptime on her laser sword

  • Options
    AshtonDragonAshtonDragon AKA The Nix Registered User regular
    I'd only recommend Whiteblind for Noelle if you are really really sure you're going to stay committed to using her, since nobody else wants it. It's definitely very good for her, though. I generally think forging the Archaic is a better idea, since it's at least pretty good for everyone.

    Do you have him using the Wolf's Gravestone or something? I finally got around to doing the last ascension for Razor on my alt account yesterday, so upgrading his talents are the next priority. I got him using the crafted claymore from dragonspine, which I really like, but I think my stats are way off yours. I've got way less attack and worse crit stats, but more +physical. Given I'm using that claymore, there's definitely some consideration for switching to an atk goblet.

    Yeah. WGS currently. Got one on him and Diluc now thanks to the Homa banner. All flower, feather, and hourglass have 2-3 rolls that didn't go into the dps stats. His goblet and helmet have more and are the most upgradable. But none of his artifacts are bad.

    Double checked the Razor Mains math and spreadsheets. Atk Cup with Serpent Spine (especially high refine), Physical Cup with everything else is the general rule.

    I'm totally fine with continuing to use a physical goblet, so that's fine. I just need my artifacts to generally be better, after I work on his talents.

    I'd love to swap to using Bolide for him so that I can actually farm some good artifacts, but Zhongli is already committed to my Ningguang team.

    Yeah, assuming good substats, 4Glad leads the way but the next best thing is 2Glad/2Bloodstained and 4 Bolide (IF you keep a shield up 100%). Bolide falls way off without having a shield up, obviously. He doesn't do charge attacks, nor rely on weapon procs like C. Pike, so the more universal Bloodstained doesn't pull ahead.

    A 2pc Bloodstained + 2pc Pale Flame (upcoming 1.5 artifact set) might end up being really good on him. I'm concerned about him being able to keep up the 4pc Pale Flame bonus though. Depends if his Q procs it or only his E. If the Q works, then 4pc of it might be his new best set.

    Putting in a second post for reference and to spoiler for people.

    The two upcoming 1.5 Artifact sets. One's a Physical DPS set, the other is made for Zhongli.
    The Last Act of Foolishness / Pale Flame 2pc: Physical DMG is increased by 25%. 4pc: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, ATK is increased by 6% for 7s. This effect stacks up to 3 times and can be triggered once every 0.3s. Once 3 stacks are reached, the 2-set effect is increased by 100%.

    Tenacity of the Millelith 2pc: HP increased by 20% 4pc: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased by 20%. Their Shield Strength is increased by 30% for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. Effect can stack.

    My question is if the duration of each buff refreshes when you get a new stack. I would expect not, in which case you'd either need a really low cooldown on your E, or else the ability to hit three times with one use of it (with at least 0.3 seconds between each hit).

    Xinyan would probably love that set, at least assuming that the shield generated by her burst at C2 counts as being damage from her E skill. I don't know if it's enough, though.

    For some reason I thought her E skill was like Xiangling: dropping a turret that does multiple cryo applications. Looks like the description on honeyhunter is a one-off backstab though, so yeah seems unlikely to be able to accumulate stacks.
