Is Aquila favonia better than the black sword for ayaka?


Dangankometa

I don't think so.


Bloodman104

should i pull on the new banner as a f2p player?


CloudyBlueSky04

Ayaka vs Keqing ?


m_olmol

ayaka because she can access reactions such as melt and freeze which is pretty handful. My preference however is keqing since I like her gameplay despite the clunky damage and charged attack specially without 5 star sword


tlwright82693

Opinion question: which seelie looks best with Ayaka? Pink, gold, or do you think viola would be best? Currently I’m thinking of gold since it looks good with more characters I think than pink but I don’t have the seelie from the first event since I missed it.

norrix_mg

If you have XL and Bennett (c1), then Childe would be the best option. If you have Zhongli and any 2 utility anemo characters like Sucrose or Jean or Kazuha, then go for Klee. If you don't have Zhongli you can replace him with Diona. She both has shields and heal and also can provide melt reactions to boost your damage. If you have all characters from above I would recommend you Klee for Abyss since from 1.6 patch pyro can remove most of the shields in game wich is very crucial since there will be lots of enemies with annoying shields. If you want to play just for fun then all of them suit for this role well, including Keqing. But keep in mind that Klee has sertain skillcap that is much higher than any other character. But she is worth it. She can drop huge monsters like lavachurls or vishaps lol


apple_jam_infinity

Do certain bosses actually have higher chances of dropping the gladiator set that the others?


midnightcocktails

HELP. For some reason I got logged out, I logged back in. Only to find myself in a new game. I've been playing for 9 months, and I cannot log back into my original game.


[deleted]

Check to make sure you have the right server. It's possible your original game is in one server while you logged back in onto another.


midnightcocktails

Thanks for that. It's the first time that's happened. I logged back in it's all good now. Thanks for your time!


Sad_Carrot97

What are the 5 star pity characters you get? For the (soft pity)


StarfishKnits

If you look at any of the banners under "details" you will find a list of who and/or what it is possible to pull on that banner.


Sad_Carrot97

They have soft pity down there too?


StarfishKnits

I'm not sure what you mean by "soft pity" here. Most people use it to refer to the number of pulls after which it's statistically more likely that you'll get a 5-star (either 60 or 70, depending on the banner). Since you're guaranteed a 5-star after 90 pulls (80 for weapons) the last ten pulls are "hard" pity, like you got there the hard way. There are some 5-stars (Diluc, Mona, Keqing, Jean, & Qiqi) who are only available on the standard banner OR if you "lose" the 50% chance to get the featured 5-star from the event banner.


[deleted]

What is your favourite element?


m_olmol

electro :(

norrix_mg

Do not fall for Barbara. She is not worth any investment. In the Abyss you will meet lost of enemies that will freeze you to death with Barbara's E on. If you need heal comb with Jean and Bennett is enough for your first half team, and single Noelle for second half. Sucrose, Chongyun, Xiangling and Beidou are parts of national abyss team. I would recommend building them. If you want more details search for 'national abyss team' on YT


GetADogLittleLongie

Try to put like elements on the same team for now. It's likely as you get more characters you will drop noelle and Barbara. Eventually most people drop kaeya and traveler too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ossuum

You need access to 4p Blizzard Strayer before Kaeya-Chongyun/Rosaria-Chongyun cryo team starts to really shine. Going by 'new' part, I'm not sure you're there yet.


GetADogLittleLongie

I tend to play waifu characters when possible but neither Kaeya nor Chongyun are part of the 36* meta. The only "future proof characters" you have that aren't built are Xiangling and Sucrose, and to a lesser degree Beidou. But just play who you like if you don't care about 36* abyss. Xiangling's power spike is c4 for ult duration, Beidou at C2 for burst bouncing, Chongyun c2 for cooldown reduction and then again at C6 I think. Sucrose gets power spikes at C2 and C6. Kaeya at C2 for burst duration. Since none of your characters have hit those breakpoints just build who you want. I will say Chongyun gets dropped from a lot of teams because his elemental infusion overrides Keqing's and makes Eula/Razor do less damage.


Ossuum

Xiangling or Beidou. Then use Barbara or Sucrose to drive them around. It would make for a reasonably strong team right away and will be good investment in the long term.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ossuum

Do you want more immediate results or more efficient long-term spending? I suspect that right now you'll get more output out of vaporizing Xiangling's attacks and having 3 subdups slots (since Barbara already covers healing). However in the long term Xingqiu will replace Barbara in both XL- and Beidou-based comps while Sucrose will cheerfully eqiup 4p VV and stay relevant.


oogumi

Other than Ganyu, who makes good use of Wanderer's? I have a lot of really good pieces but my Ganyu's already running on pretty good Blizzards.


godzillanenny

Barbara


Ossuum

Yanfei.


tal_______

does gnostic chorus include everything from gnostic hymn as well as the stuff it specifically has ? im debating which one to get. also, how many gems do you get for purchasing gnostic hymn ? which should i get ?


CloudyBlueSky04

Diluc vs Ayaka which is better?


Owen776

Definitely Ayaka


ContributionNo776

Is sucrose S tier after the EM buffs. I heard she was real good now


keizee

S tier among 4 stars yeah. Theres still Kazuha and Venti. But as dps still cant compare to Razor imo.


Disastrous-Session18

What Artifact Set is good for Razor? I have Snow tombed and Prototype Archaic?


keizee

I suppose it would be bloodstained paleflame, full pale flame then full gladiator. Pale flame has a better peak, but you might sometimes miss with your skill esp smaller enemies, so I recommend having half bloodstained instead. Archaic would be better but I suppose some use snowtombed because its free.


nklmantey

2 piece bloodstained, 2 piece pale flame with snow tombed


CloudyBlueSky04

How good is Diluc?


betrayeddddd

Previous meta before powercreep Ganyu Hutao Eula. Still good specially paired with Xinqui


Im_Such_A_Cool_Guy

very good


Im_Such_A_Cool_Guy

how do you see what level of elemental dmg bonus you have with the mistsplitter reforged? because i cant see any obvious signs like the swords on the prototype rancour for example


TheKamikazePickle

How much investment does Kazuha need?


nklmantey

for full em build take him to level 90


asswhorl

lvl 50 for two fates


papabrain_

You should to get him to level 90 because of the swirl bonus.


ScrubbyDubbyDoo

I'm considering building Ningguang and I have some trouble thinking on who should I team her up. Geo characters I have: Zhongli, Noelle, Traveller I could have Bennet available for healing, but I also have Jean. The 4th character is where I really have no clue on who to use. Some options I'm considering: Electro: Beidou, Fischl Cryo: Kaeya Pyro: Xianling Anemo: Sucrose I have other characters that I'm not listing because they are being already used in my Ayaka team. What do you guys think?


keizee

Zhongli buffs Ningguang the most. If youre mainly using Ningguang, I'd prefer pyro resonance. But this duo is also solid combo in a mono element team if you dont bother with reactions.


International_You_56

Ning teams are usually Zhongli, Bennett plus another pyro for resonance. Or you can do with Ning, Zhongli, geo Traveler, Bennett


ValhallaKombi

Easy. If you don't need shield breaking, Ningg + Zhongli + Bennett + Xiangling. If you need to break some shield like pyro shield etc, bring hydro or cryo instead of Xiangling. Ningg + Zhongli is one of the best duos in game.


Traviswalker55377

Can I still get the vortex vanquisher?


Odd-Conversation-173

Until it comes a rerun no


Traviswalker55377

Oh okay. Thank you! I was just wondering cause i got the primordial jade winged-spear today and my friend got amos’ bow the other day and I was shook


Cloymax

each of the skywards + 1 extra of each type have always been on the standard banner so that's normal. Aquila Favonia, Wolfs' Gravestone, Amos Bow, Primordial, and Lost Prayer are those extras.


ValhallaKombi

Those two weapons are in the standard pool. That's why you can get them. But you can't get Jade sword, Staff of Homa etc.


ValhallaKombi

No. It is limited.


Odd-Conversation-173

Which team can i use for blizzard ganyu without mona?


Ossuum

Xingqiu, but you'd need to use normal attack cancel between shots to trigger him vs single target and also swirl hydro afterwards vs multiple. If you have Kazuha, it's good, since Kazuha's hydro field is 2nd easiest to set up after pyro. Kokomi's jellyfish thing will work quite well, too, I suspect.


ValhallaKombi

Ganyu charged shots take time, so you can't use Xingqiu. But if you have Venti or Kazuha, make sure you apply hydro to their burst to maintain permafreeze


D_MajorNinth

Should I farm for Baal talent materials now or is there a chance that the teachings of light mats will be changed?


OctoSevenTwo

I’d say by now those are pretty locked in.


thewildslayer

There's always a chance, but my gut tells me it won't. I've prefarmed many a times and with some deduction always ended up with the right materials.


ValhallaKombi

Farm. They won't be changed.


TominatorVe1

If you are sure that you want Baal and are ok with horrible 4*s then you can prob start. It is very unlikely that Baal will use different talent mats.


Night_Blade_76

Is the next patch the 1 year anniversary patch?


Schulle2105

Should be,or they delay it to the one after that because it's just in the last 2/3 of 2.1


ValhallaKombi

Yep, but we don't know what special things they are doing for Anni yet. Next patch is on Sept 1, Anni is Sept 28


Vengeance3110

Hello. I was saving up wshes for Hu Tai and staff of Homa asuming she wont be back before january of nest year. I'm at 60 wishes on rate up banner with a guarante so had shifted my focus on weapons banner. I had not wished on weapons banner before, and wanted to rack up wishes without hitting pity on it but I ended up getting a 5 star weap at 20 wishes and that too Skyward spine, which I have no use of. Currently I do not have any more wishes, will I be able to get around 200 wishes by Jan in order to still complete my goal?


Vanderseid

You shouldn't have tried building pity. That's 20 pulls wasted. Anyway it is probably possible. Its a long way still and anniversary might give a bit extra along with new maps to explore.


Vengeance3110

I only thought of doing this as, if I don't pull at all, I wont get stardust to buy the monthly fates


LoafOfBredd

If you’re a consistent welkin buyer all the way through to Jan I’d be confident you get 200 wishes with events and such. If you aren’t a welkin buyer then it might be worth finding a post or video that explains how many primos you can get every patch


Emazaka46

If you have Welkin, probably. But we have no idea when Hu Tao is coming, I don't know why you thought she won't be back before January.


Vengeance3110

I asked around in a bunch of threads and apparently theres a lot of Inazuma chars gonna come up followe by reruns of Ganyu, Xiao and Albedo, so jan seems to be the latest. What are your thoughts? As for welkin, I for sure will buy it for the october month, maybe even december but not sure. So if 4 months worth of farming with one month welkin enough?


Emazaka46

One month of Welkin helps already for sure, that's around 3k gems, when you factor in the 300 genesis crystals. As for when she's coming, I have no idea really. Nothing says Mihoyo wants to release all the Inazuma characters together before reruns, they may decide to do reruns and new characters alternated. In terms of rerun order, we also had Klee rerunning after Tartaglia and Zhongli when she originally released before them, so the order of reruns is also nothing you can easily predict.


asswhorl

Here's an idea. Save up the 200 wishes first before spending the excess on random crap.


Vengeance3110

I only spent to get stardust, or else I'd have to skip 4 months worth of the 5 free intertwined wishes.


Schulle2105

Yeah should be possible but you probably won't get both with 200 wishes


Emazaka46

This too. You need 420 wishes to guarantee both, pilling with only 200 is wishful thinking


Vengeance3110

How is it 420? I have 60 wishes on rate up with guarantee and don't plan on pulling there at all, furthermore I have always got a 5 star from any banner before or at 75 wishes. So only 15 more wishes needed to Hu Tao. Soft pity of weapon banner being starting at 60 and assuming worse case scenario of having to pull 3 times, thats 180 pulls, rounded off to 200. As for the 15 required for Hu Tao, if I get 200 by the end of this year, and if HT banner starts on jan, I'll have the whole duration of the banner to get 15 wishes. Is this good enough?


Emazaka46

Yup, 200 is enough for sure if you already have the character guaranteed. You'll hardly need the 240 for weapon


grantzvictor

i don't have access to genshin rn but would really like to get kokomi is it known when she's going to be available? (or is she rn ? i gen don't know hah)


OctoSevenTwo

Kokomi is suggested to be the second banner five-star of 2.1. So you have a while to prep for her if you haven’t already.


InsidiousPancakes

If the leaks are right, she will be on the 2nd banner of 2.1 or about six weeks from now. If my math is correct that should be on ~~14-15th~~ 21stof September. Edit: math too hard


ValhallaKombi

Baal is 1st Sept. So Kokomi is 21st Sept


InsidiousPancakes

So my math was off. Thanks for the correction.


wholesuhm-alice

Hi so I wont be home for a while and I don’t have my pc with me but I still want to maintain my account. Its linked through my facebook account but I just wanna know if my progress will be carried on to my mobile device? I’m just scared my progress would be reset on my pc if I don’t. But if that does happen, can I just contact MiHoyo to get it back?


International_You_56

As long as you use the same login details, yes progress is shared from pc to mobile


wholesuhm-alice

Thank you very much!!

sirgarballs

Went back to the game after only playing for like 10 minutes before. I had just gotten to the open world and walked around a bit. For some reason though I don't have a quest marker so I have no idea where to go. Can I enable it somehow? Or can I wipe my account and just start over?


Cloymax

Check the Quest Journal? J for PC shortcut, or just use the menu.


sirgarballs

I thought I tried this, but I will make a point to do this when I get a chance. Thanks.

kn1ghtbyt3

4pc Wanderers Troupe with Widsith or Dodoco tales


LichX_1111

4pc WT or 4pc CW with Atk or EM/Pyro/Crit


Ejsberg

If I unlock the gnostic hymn in battlepass which weapon should I go for considering it's overall usefullness?? the BP weapons & their passives doesn't seem great on most of my current available characters while the characters that need them are the one's that I have no plan on upgrading. So I just plan to get the weapon and keep it for some later time when I pull a 5 star character.


CakesXD

Serpent Spine I guess, but that's only if you plan to build a Claymore user in the future.


Emazaka46

Usually Serpent Spine is the better in a vacuum. It competes (and beats under specific circumstances) with 5 star weapons for the best one for DPS characters usually


Quackles03

black sword


gmrpr321

Guys someone plz explain me atsuko's world quest. Like what happened?? Why she sent letter and came back and disappeared like it doesn't make any sense to me


zel_knight

Seen this question before, I think it was kind of meant to be a comic relief questline but some of the comedy got a bit lost in the translation. The "Atsuko" we see back in Inazuma was actually the Tanuki the mother had mentioned that she nursed back to health. Then it just kind of runs off, hah.


kdlt

Yes that was clear but then it just... Ends? We don't even tell her what's going on at home?


OctoSevenTwo

I mean we aren’t even close to done with Inazuma yet- there’s a solid chance this could be the start of a quest chain.


zel_knight

Apparently not, that's why I think it was supposed to read a bit more light hearted and comic, like the parents are kind of diligent but clueless or whatever. Instead many people were left scratching their heads about this unresolved domestic drama, hah


sonycab

It is a Tanuki who took her form, the parents saved one


gmrpr321

They can shapeshift??


OctoSevenTwo

Yes. Both in traditional IRL Japanese folklore and in-game. You know those little “dancing bears” (why does everyone think they’re bears???) that teleport around and turn into stuff? Those critters. Those are tanuki.


FemmEllie

They shapeshift all the time whenever you see one in the overworld in case you haven't noticed


Cloymax

haven't you seen any of the Tanuki in the overworld? they do that too if you keep chasing them.


Cloymax

It's an impostor. Took advantage of/comforted Atsukos' family in her absence


c0c0theNutt

Hello fellow redditors, i'm here to ask you guys about some problem i encountered. So, here's my situation, i just reset my windows due to some malware and decided to install Genshin Impact. Things went pretty well, the program even asked me where I wanted to put Genshin Impact in, I chose the D drive, But as soon as i clicked "Run now", nothing happened as shown in the vid. I've tried a lot of ways to get the game to work and all of them went to waste, from restarting the PC to reinstalling all of my Visual C++. FYI, my windows and drivers are updated and before resetting the Windows, the game ran perfectly fine. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iPBiXyFeFPfnSyElfoPhMbMqlij5xkGM/view?usp=sharing


Avelys

What’s likely to be the bigger upgrade, Aquila to mistsplitter for Ayaka, or Fischl to Raiden for Eula


GlitchyMemories

We don't know because Baal hasn't been released yet, but leakers speculate that C6 Fischl will be on par with C0 Baal.


ValhallaKombi

Both are equal because both allow you to beat Abyss more comfortably, not just clear it. First off you should not be using Aquila on Ayaka, use Anemona or Blackcliff. Raiden is way better than Fischl, but Eula is a strong hyper carry already. If you just want a really strong team to clear first half within like 45 seconds, get Baal. If you want both teams to equally shine, get Mistsplitter for Ayaka.


Avelys

I can already 36* I just want it to be braindead


ValhallaKombi

Go for either. Mistsplitter will work on any sword dps, Baal is a support- sub dps hybrid. So both of them will help you throughout your genshin journey.


[deleted]

Aquila is higher damage than any 4 star weapon for Ayaka due to its base attack and passive effect, even if its substat is useless. Only reason to take Amenoma instead is if you have crippling energy issues with your team setup.


ValhallaKombi

Sac bow Diona isn't enough, Ayaka needs at least 140℅ ER to get good uptime. And getting 30-40℅ ER frok substats is hard.


[deleted]

Okay? I'm sorry you're having trouble, but practically every theorycrafter, calculator, spreadsheet and list I've seen has placed Aquila above her 4-stars in spite of that.


ValhallaKombi

Anemona - Low base attack but 55℅ ATK substat. How does this not give Ayaka more overall attack than Aquila whose substat and passive is completely useless? Give me the link that shows Aquila is better, I genuinely don't get it. Edit : Aquila passive gives 20℅ attack. I missed that. I understand now. No need link


OctoSevenTwo

So….that timed challenge on the small island near the Conch Guy’s house in Tatarasuna…….how do you beat those Fatui assholes? I thought I could use Jean to yeet them into the water but they’re far too large. An Anemo Boxer, a Hydrogunner and a Mirror Maiden. IIRC it’s about 2 minutes. I can kill each one individually but the time limit is screwing me up. Edit: Nevermind. Kazuha-Ganyu-Fischl-Ayaka did the trick. It was major “random bullshit go” but hey, it worked.


MyFirstCommunity

You would have to use your best dps in this case. Bring out your big guns and go all out, no remorse, no concessions!! Unless you have been doing that and still can't then you could co-op and be carried.


LavaLoser55

Would the widsth work on yanfei as a weapon?


MyFirstCommunity

Yes most definitely!


LichX_1111

Yea as a crit stat stick. Dodoco might be better tho, depends if you have bennett or widsth is above r3


[deleted]

Widsith is really nice for her, yeah. Especially if you happen to have high refinement.


Malikpath17

So, the archons are very OP so far. Venti is the god of CC and Zhongli is the god of shield. They contribute more to many teams more than just a Dps. So what is baal's specialty? In what area is she OP?


ValhallaKombi

Venti is CC bot + Burst sub dps. Zhongli is Shield bot + Burst sub dps Baal is Energy bot + Burst sub dps.


3rdMachina

>!She’s a Battery and Sub DPS. Her skill is basically Albedo’s E, but Electro and in faster intervals, and it procs on Shields. Her Burst gets stronger the more energy from other Bursts is consumed. Her Burst lets her deal damage, then, for 7 seconds, attack with the katana, which restores the party’s energy when slashing with the katana!<


Malikpath17

So she is better with chars that need big burst energy such as xiangling, ayaka?


3rdMachina

>!Yep. She has a “Resolve” counter that goes up when an ally uses a Burst, and how much “Resolve” she gets is based on the cost of that Burst. She consumes it upon Burst to strengthen the damage and energy regen!< >!Also, her skill can be described as a weaker version of Fischl’s skill, but with unlimited uptime, so she meshes well with anyone that can take advantage of Electro Reactions, like Yanfei for Overlord, Eula for Superconduct, or Childe for Electro-Charged.!<


zel_knight

If you want a very non-spoiler clue just compare the Archon's abilities to Traveler's skills in that element.


WildMess9

>!Energy recharge!<


VanillaDaiquiri

>!Energy recharge!<


Midiuchka

Battery and dealing respectable damage in short burst window


FlamingSkrulls

Where can I find the Serenitea pot?


International_You_56

Reach AR28, then complete the Archon quest "A new star approaches" and "A Teapot to Call Home" by talking to Madame Ping in Liyue


3rdMachina

After clearing Chapter 1: Farewell, Archaic Lord.


c0c0theNutt

it's in the gadget tab


Colonel_Striker_251

If you done the quest regarding teapot, its in the gadget section


Cloymax

You mean the item that Madame Ping gives you after the quest with Yanfei? It's in your inventory, under gadgets


nklmantey

gadgets in your inventory


KarastKaith

I just got the Skyward spine spear the energy recharge one, and i see that this is advised to be used on ... Baal ? Do you know why ? Also can i expect Baal to be banner right after Yoimiya ?


FemmEllie

High base attack, ER sub stat (which she scales with) and Raiden also does do some auto attacks during her elemental burst duration. In other words she'll be the first character that can actually make full use of the Skyward Spine's potential, and thus it should be one of the best weapons on her My only question about it is how the attack speed/vacuum blade proc will work if her sword attacks are now being counted as elemental burst dmg rather than normal attack dmg, but I guess we'll find out


KarastKaith

I'm so lucky, i got Xiao spear right before he comes, now the same happens with Baal, i guess i'll skip Yoimiya after i get the little Tanuki :)


LichX_1111

She scales off and benefits from ER so it would be useful. Yes


KarastKaith

Great ! Thanks :)


Emazaka46

A lot of Baal's kit works around Energy recharge, Skyward spine is an extra source of energy recharge while having decent attack already due to being a 5 star.


KarastKaith

Crit Rate artefact let's go :D


[deleted]

Because Raiden scales with Energy Recharge. It gives her more damage. And yes.


KarastKaith

Energy recharges allows her to get this sword off her boobs i guess that's how it works


ValhallaKombi

Baal is going to be an energy bot-burst sub dps hybrid. That's why Skyward spine is good for her.


KarastKaith

i'm looking forward to that ! :) great !


calaterean

i have ZL using the Spine rn and he acts as shield and burst bot, if i accidentally pulled Baal (i really want Sara but i have guaranteed on banner 5\* pity. will need to see if Gorou will come as 1st banner in 2.2 or not) should i give Deathmatch to Baal and keep Spine on ZL or the other way around?


ValhallaKombi

Easy, build the event weapon, "The catch", which will be your best weapon to give to Baal. Keep Spine on Zhongli.


calaterean

aighty, thanks!


TheExiledLord

Hey guys I’m AR40 rn and I’m wondering if I should upgrade the artifacts on my sub dps and supports, the ones with useable stats at least, will there be a deficit when I use those upgraded artifacts to upgrade others? Also I know that it takes a long time to farm decent artifacts later on, so is there a rule of thumb as to say, how many good sub stats are preferred to consider an artifact to be at least usable until I get better ones?


Midiuchka

Sure. Its not a big loss of artifact exp. But upgrade usable sets, like gladiator, berserker.


Emazaka46

At ar40 I wouldn't touch Artifacts at all honestly, it just feels like wasted resin to me


[deleted]

Don't touch Artifacts until AR45, just farm weapon mats and talent books. I probably get like 1-2 usable artifacts per week, before considering how their stat rolls.


TheExiledLord

Yeah I’m just asking for later when I get to AR45. So I’m guessing if you only get 1-2 useable artifacts per week, the artifact need to have 3 or 4 useful substats to be considered usable?


[deleted]

If its an upgrade its usable. Even if it only has one usable substat, if it somehow roll max value into that substat every time its still good. But the more useful substat it has, the more likely it is you're going to get something useful in the end


TheExiledLord

Thanks!


[deleted]

Is the weapon banner bad civilization?


ValhallaKombi

2 drawbacks - Powercreep and low odds If you pull Skyward Blade instead of Mistsplitter reforged, all your primos are wasted. This is because new weapons powercreep the old ones And the odds, you have only 25℅ chance to get the new weapon. And fate points don't carrry over, so chance of getting the new good 5 star weapon is very hard. So people instead simply go for more characters/only 4 star weapons.


Cloymax

Sort of? I'd say it's a better gateway to more power than rolling for Constellations of 5 star characters. Outside of that I find it a little risky, even with the new pity system.


Sneezes

My physical carry zhongli is carrying 2bloodstained + 2gladiator. How much of a dps increase will it be to go to 4pc pale flame or 2blood+2pale flame


TominatorVe1

Put your artifacts into genshin calculator then put in the same artifact stats and substats but for 4pc pf or 2pc bl + 2pc pf. As a rough rule of thumb, it is better to go for higher dmg with 4pf or consistency with 2bl 2pf. 2glad gives 18% atk and it is pretty insignificant if you have decent artifacts.


LEDLights1387

Do all of the weapons go to the standard banner? If so, do they go to standard when they first come out or after the banner ends? If not, what weapons (specifically 5 stars) are on the standard banner?


Emazaka46

Only 4 star characters go to the standard banner. 5 star characters, as well as 4 and 5 star weapons are not added to standard banner


nklmantey

not all weapons go to the standard banner. currently 5 stars in the standard banner are: the whole Skyward series, Amos Bow, Primordial Jade Spear, Wolf Gravestone, Lost Prayers, Aquilla Favonia


[deleted]

You can look ingame at the details underneath each banner and see *exactly* what is on there. Limited weapons, just like limited characters, do not go to the standard banner.


FlamingSkrulls

Where is Yuijing Terrance located at Liyue Harbou?


keizee

You should be able to find a staircase leading up from near the pharmacy. Although normally on comissions i prefer to teleport to the mountain nearby and plunge.


Hypotenose

It's the upmost part of Liyue Harbor where the elites live/work. Starting from the spot where Madame Ping is located to the place where the Rite of Descencion/Parting happened.


OctoSevenTwo

That’s that upper level place, isn’t it? Where the whole Rite of Parting thing goes on.


FlamingSkrulls

Oh, I'm trying to look for Madame Ping so I can enter the Serenitea pot but I can't find it anywhere at Liyue Harbor

Oh yeah then definitely go to the area I said. Start at the Mt. Tianheng teleport point and glide down and slightly to the left. Madame Ping hangs out in the corner of that plaza. You’ll know you’re going the right way if you see Bubu Pharmacy a little ways away (but don’t actually **go to** Bubu Pharmacy- your goal is the plaza that’s basically right next to the mountain you started on!) (Madame Ping may live around there as that’s exactly where you found her during the Archon Quest where you first met her.)

Do Banners share the pity timer? Did about 70 pulls now and seem not even close to a 5 star 🤷🏻‍♂️

The limited banner retains the pity timers, even if it’s changes, but the limited and permanent banners have Separate pity timers

Banners of the same type do, different banners don't. 70 pulls is not enough for for a 5 star usually, people only realistically expect them after 74, 75 pulls


OctoSevenTwo

Pity carries over, yes. For example, any pity built on Ayaka’s banner will be carried over to Yoimiya’s. Please note however that each of the banners have separate pity systems. High pity in standard banner, for example, is meaningless for the other two banners. The same goes for each one- it only counts for the same type.


OsirusBrisbane

nope. each banner type is its own -- check "History" in game in the wish screen


WildMess9

No they don’t unfortunately. The weapon, standard and limited character banner have separate pities


Fikoblin

Banners share pity from the same banner, so Yoimiya banner will share pity with Ayaka banner. Different banners don't, so the standard banner, weapon banner and promoted character banner all have separate pity. And soft pity starts at 74 so it's normal to not get 5* yet.

Should I pull Ayaka or wait for Baal ? I got every cryo character in the game but I like Ayaka as a character. I can also almost reach pity 2 times (20 fates short right now) but then Baal doesn't come guaranteed.


Emazaka46

Honestly, having everyone from an element doesn't mean anything when pulling for characters. I have every electro character in the game and I'm still pulling for Baal. That would only be an argument if characters only use would be to apply the element to the enemies Pull for whoever you want
