i dunno if it was just me, or if the co-op queue for the felflower boss fight is just lax.. but half my games i joined it was over halfway dead already... so after about 5 minutes i bought out the whole event shop.
nice n easyyy.

Even solo it's pretty melty. Killing the flowers deals a large chunk of damage to its shield (and sometimes its first flower shows up in melee with you, which causes it to die immediately as I'm bursting the boss).
And then its non-shield phase isn't anything to write home about.
Ok, one good husk piece locked in
Now just need 11 more…
I posted on day 1 of the patch that I got a great husk headpiece. I've since gotten exactly one other piece that I'm happy with. It's amazing how frequently you get elemental mastery and attack% when you aren't looking for them.

i just spent condensed resin to get literally 8-10 lavawalker only, which included these 2 gems
this one i called "fuck you"
this, on the other hand... ok sure maybe keqing builds full lavawalker, who's to say, maybe i cant be stopped
also the animation on the hydrostasis are really nice, incredibly good squishy 3d geo

My old Albedo artifacts are so good that I'm ready to give up on switching him to his proper set, I haven't gotten any good husk pieces at all even after getting two full sets of the healing set for Qiqi and Barbara. I probably should check what my c6 Noelle is using, if her artifacts are crap then the new set might be good for her. I don't use her much though so it'd be a bit waste. Half-tempted to try to farm a set of the healing stuff with DEF for her as well, it might not be 100% stupid idea.

Noelle is who I'm getting this set for, for what it's worth. It's definitely a great set with her, but if someone had a really strong set for her already, I could see it not being worth it to farm up an equivalent set of this.

Keqing was my first 5 Star, I'm pretty sure, so I'm just completely invested in using her since I learned to play through her. Helps that I have an R4 Lion's Roar and decent artifacts, though. Friend of mine had the same thing with Qiqi got all the way to 'Endgame' point, declared her Qiqi was unkillable (because she managed to get an Aquilla Favonia at some point) and just got bored with the game and moved on to something else.
Speaking of the Aquila Favonia, that's what came out of my Standard Banner when I crossed 75 pulls.
Based on my sword users, I suppose this belongs to Bennet.

It's Jean's favorite sword if you have her. It's fine on Bennett, but the physical damage bonus is kinda wasted.
Hm. I have Albedo and Freedom Sworn now, which he's apparently good at using for the party even if it's not super great for him personally. I wonder if I should do anything with him, like put him on my Noelle team? That'd mean giving up Ning and her more reliable energy than Albedo can produce, or giving up on Bennett/Xiangling for battery/damage/pyro resonance.
I wonder who my fourth should be if I do a triple geo team when Gorou comes around?

Yeah, no Jean. I've really got no options for swords--Bennet, Traveler, Kaeya, and I don't really use 2 of those.
Oh, if I pull the trigger on the waiting C6 for Bennet, that might play well with the physical damage bonus, right?

Nope! You'll turn his AA damage to fire damage and lose that physical bonus. The ability is nice, especially for survivability. I used it on Keqing for a long time because of that, but it's not ideal on anyone but Jean or maybe Keqing if you're doing a physical build with her.

My Jean is effectively invulnerable between her passive healing and the healing from this sword.
To be honest, for as much as Genshin is a "Play Who You Want" game, I also just kind of hate the aspect to it that some characters are just....'necessary'. Like, I absolutely would not use Bennett if he wasn't just one of the most broken characters in the game. I don't like his design, I don't like his storyline or personality, I just don't want anything to do with him. But he's right there whenever I'm running Abyss desperately trying to get all the stars because I can't get him without that.
Same with Kazuha and Venti. I don't like them. I didn't pull for them because I don't like them. But they are absolutely vital characters and that aspect really, really annoys me.

I'm not going to try to say any of those characters are well balanced for something like abyss. They are very very powerful. I just wanted to mention that I looked at the team comps for each side of each floor from patch 2.2, and at least one team in the top 8 fastest clears for all six rooms didn't use any of those 3. They absolutely aren't necessary, but they make it a hell of a lot easier.
Bennet I would agree with, but I have venti and I absolutely never use him. Like I know he's good, but i haven't found him vital for any content.
for me, Bennet and Zhongli are the only "you have to be utilizing these characters if you have them" in the game, currently.
before people chime in i knooooow that there are so many good characters but I don't think any are like...if you're not using them you're hurting yourself, unless you just have really bad luck.

Honestly, though for the latest Abyss, I don't see how you can reliably get through Floor 11 without one of them unless you get really lucky with lures. Obviously the gimmick with the stupid Ley Line Monolith is that you can use Itto's lure (since the point of this Abyss is to make you want Itto and Gorou by the time they come around) to keep enemies from attacking it instead (which Ganyu, Mona and Amber also have to some degree) which will work for the most part but it isn't completely reliable.
OR you can just use Venti or Kazuha to constantly swirl and zone the enemies so they never get a chance to attack it. Because that's just the gimmick of the floor, is making it difficult because there's a bunch of enemies that even multi-hitting characters will struggle to effectively deal with. The challenge of this go around isn't just 'hit things fast and make them dead', which you can theoretically do with any team. I know it can be done without the big Anemo characters (because I've already seen people showing off their clear of that floor while specifically saying 'No Anemo' which just goes to show) and it's like, they just barely cleared it without getting their monoliths under 60% and the enemies just decided to not go for the monolith at points. Enemy aggro is just finicky.

Ah, yeah. Realized afterwards that C6 overwrites other bonuses.
Was thinking that it converted them. That would be fun!
Don’t sleep on companion gifts! 20 primos a pop and it turns out you can get multiple gifts from the same companion by making different sets. Everyone thought I was crazy grinding companionship xp, but who’s laughing now eh?
…still them probably but now I have several hundred more primos so…

last month that was my jam.
i still have several sets i could finish.. but they take a significant amount of realm currency or a ton of wood ;p
the inazuma sets are rough cause they only have 1 or 2 chars giving rewards for them.

I have a full set of EM-VV pieces but the substats on them are complete garbage.
I don't really have a problem getting EM on VV pieces.
I do have a really amazing problem not getting every level-up roll to be either HP% or DEF% on the artifacts that have said EM.
I probably could have built 3 sets of EM maiden beloved in the months it took me to get a VV set.
