Can i get banned for using reshade ?

How do I delete my mihoyo account on my phone? My account only has a request to delete button cause I was unaware that it would do that if I fiddled with some linking and other settings I have no clue what to do Should I contact mihoyo? But I've heard that they are pretty unreliable Give me best suggestions pls 🙏

So about 6 days ago I emailed mihoyo to unlink my psn acc from genshin to use cross save but u haven't heard from them and I realized I didn't put an email in the little survey they sent so should I email them again and this time put my email?

How do I fix my mora drop from leylines in AR 60 ? The mora I'd get from leyline events went down from 120k to 2000k. Any help will be appreciated

Are Asia servers down right now?

so about 2 weeks ago, I found out there was this bow called Hamayumi which is apparently a f2p friendly option for ganyu. Doing some research I found out u could obtain its blueprint by giving this Takashi guy in inazuma 3 mysterious shells each day for 7 days. But its been about 13 consecutive days that I've been giving him shells and there hasnt been any blueprints yet Am I doing something wrong 😭?

NEED HELP!!!! I cant join in my mobile. I put the same ps5 password and name or email and it says its incorrect in the app. What do i do?

i have an OnePlus. is there a way to get the hutao theme on my phone? (Nord 2T)

I'm just curious if there's ever going to be ANY information about any movement towards the Nintendo Switch version of Genshin??

in need of help. I did the confessions of an outline question but telephoned back to town and I can't get to inazuma. any suggestions?

vape vs taser yelan Hey, I was wondering, what are the pros and cons of each team between vape and taser? Is there an objectively better team dmg or playstyle wise, or is it up to preference? Thanks!

question about pity and banners So to get straight to the point im trying to figure out whether the pity count to limited banners carry over to only that specific slot of banner or do they carry over to both? To clarify ill give u my scenario: Im currently attempting to pull for raiden shogun and am literally on my 89th pull, but after finding out that xiao is on the upcoming banner i kinda want to pull for him. The problem is, raiden is in the first banner (with ayato in the second slot), and xiao is on the second banner (with al haitham in the first slot) So if i save my 90th pull from raidens banner will i be able to use it on xiaos banner?

It will carry over to both Haitham and Xiao.

Yup

Will mihoyo let me use parody names for Wanderer?

AR25, Nilou is my only 5 star, only supports I have are Xiangling, Sucrose and Noelle, shall I pull for Yelan or Hu Tao? I love both of them, so I wanted to know which one I should pull for (In terms of meta) Edit: I can hit hard pity (current pity is 65) if I use all my wishes and not guaranteed

Would yelan work as a main dps if invested? (Ik anyone can I'd invested enough) What artifacts, sub stats, and f20 weapons should be used for this? If not, bc I do not know much abt her, if she is used better instead as a off field dps what should be used instead? Team comp ideas? Thanks

Does Mihoyo ban you if you used Steam Input on Genshin Impact? I use Steam Input so that Genshin can Recognize my Controller.

I just got Dori (twice). Any ideas on how to build her, or which kind of role she can fit in?

I can't get this Dendro monument to unlock and drain the cave even though i shot two branches of the withering like the guides say, help? [game screenshot](https://ibb.co/BGYK8VP)

When will Genshin be available for the Nintendo Switch??

I don't think there has been any new news about the Switch. To be honest I wouldn't expect it this year or even next year unless an explicit release date is finally announced.

If I buy multiple Welkins do I get all of the crystals up front or do I get 300 whenever the next one starts?

All upfront.

Thanks :)

[удалено]

i had like 20-ish something by ar45, while others like my best friend had 0. you could use them if you beed them, but if you want then you can save it until around ar45 when artifacts begin to come more consistently better (the route i took). it helped me only a little, but that’s just because my domain luck was (and is) still trash if you decide to want to use some right now, then sometimes saving like 5-6 leftover can be helpful, for if you need them at higher ranks

[удалено]

oh no that’s not low at all!! in fact that’s a pretty great amount so you’re fine. :)

i have my genshin account linked to my phone number,email and playstation and facebook too but i want to delete my facebook account if i remove my genshin account from my Facebook account and delete my Facebook account will that delete my genshin account?

No, it won't delete it.

At 55 pity and wanted to get raiden but don't have enough primos and time to get her. Anyone guess when will be her next future rerun?

i think aroujnd 9 months, since she was released march i think idk but that was her last banner and thats 3rd month and she got a rerun 12th month,(leak idk if its confirmed)>! yelan!< was released in may, 5th month and is getting a rerun february, which is 9 months difference, theyre both fairly popular characters so they dont have far away reruns like (leak)>!shenhe!<, more than a year

https://imgur.com/a/f0CErU9 Its me againn ;-; what would yall change with my artifacts? She's only at lvl 72 and i haven't even levelled up most of her talents because I really have no resin and was so excited farming artifacts. I think something's kinda wrong because my crit rate is way too low?? its only 18.2 while my crit damage is 117.4 😅 is that normal for raiden orrr- idk honestly but thank you in advanceeee

they are all pretty meh except the circlet but that is normal for when you are just starting out. I'd take a break to level talents, and switch to a crit rate circlet if you can. It is a bit of a shame because your CD piece is actually your best piece in a vacuum but 11 CR is way too low. You generally want to shoot for a 1:2 ratio of CR to CD or at least relatively close to that. Usually that is easier to achieve using a crit rate circlet because you start with 50 CD and only 5 CR by default. The general rule for how to evaluate artifacts is first priority is the right mainstat, and the second priority is as many good substat rolls as possible. For raiden good substats means Atk%, ER, CR, or CD. CR and CD are usually the most valuable but any of those are good (though er is not as good once you have hit your er requirements already and for raiden that is like around 220-240 or so ER).

Thank you so much! I'd definitely do that, it was really bugging me how low my crit rate is lolll

Oh dear, 18.2 crit rate is far too low. Aim at 60% at least without accounting for the catch's passive, assuming you're using that. Usually a 1:2 crit ratio is ideal so try to aim for that. Usually these stats are what you should aim for raiden. 1600 attack, 220 er with a non er weapon, 250 with one, and then 1:2 crit ratio ideally 60:120 above but it's fine if it's slightly lower. For all the stats you'd be largely fine if it's slightly lower than the "goal" but definitely stick around these numbers or more. I'd probably just camp in emblem for a while to farm for her and a few supports.

Thank you 🙏🙏

\[FOUND IT, JUST HAD TO LOOK UP SMH\] Not sure how exactly I should ask a question/call for help since you can't use screenshots in comments and this sub does not really permit the kind of "posts" I was going to make, but I have posted it to my profile and if anyone could help - I would really appreciate it. TL;DR: I found an area in the desert behind a barrier and I cant find how to get there. Screenshots are in my profile, please help.

Teleport to Altar of Mirages domain then go down and keep going till you reach the waypoint location -> look up to swing.

thank you!

You can upload stuff to imgur and post the link here btw

I had to explain so not having to click extra links and switch between tabs would be more appealing?

How much ER do I want on Xingqiu, Xiangling, Bennett respectively? - Xingqiu: C2R1 Sac Sword; - Xiangling: C2R5 The Catch; - Bennett: C4R1 Sapwood Blade; Also, how do their ER requirements change when they're in Rational vs out of it? I'm currently playing them in Rational, but would like to build them for team flexibility — thanks!

The ER requirements in Rational are dependant on rotation, Raiden ER and rng (mostly Raiden E), in general also what platform you are playing on since, at least on PS4, not being able to switch bursting it's going to take its toll on the rotation of a team like Rational. In a National team with Raiden replaced by someone that doesen't take as much field time and with fine/good energy generation the requirements aren't particularly different. I play on PS4 and the req with my 255 ER Raiden, against bosses, are 210 ER on XL and 195 ER on C6 XQ (no Fav/Sac) to make sure not to be short of anything if the rng of the particle generation isn't good. My Benny has 240ish ER but he can be fine with less. My rotation has XQ vaping his E after XL burst to help XL a bit. P.s. XQ would be better off with Favonius until you can refine Sac to line up with his skill cooldown.

I have 200 er with xq and xl and they could get their burst up relatively fast with a bit of funneling from benny to xl. Although I'd say 220 er would be better for xl for a more generalist build. Bennett ideally would like 250 er but 230 is fine too.

my xingqiu has 199%, with emblem and only a level 60 r2 sac sword, catching 2 of his skill particles, i nearly go back up to full energy, without getting the passive from sac sword off, so if u run emblem + sac sword i dont think its too important to have er stats or sub stats rolled more than 2-3 times all together

Will Yaoyao be viable for Nilou comps? I'm hoping to use her as healer so I can switch out my hydro character

She seems made for Nilou teams, her burst even increases her dendro RES so she doesn't die from bloom damage.

Better wait for a few days after the update for people to test her in the live server

Genuine question but is Catch really the best in slot for Raiden Shogun? I was reading through her KQM guide for some info and it turns out Catch is all the way down in like.. 10th? place on the recommended weapons list. The passive and stats look ideal but it's losing out to its fellow 4 star R5s on dps. I didn't know this.

Just taking a look at the chart, The Catch is often called the best option because you can always get it, it costs nothing but some time to go fishing, and the difference between it and most of the other weapons ahead of it is less than 5%. The other 4stars it compares with are limited time or cost money. Imagine how difficult it actually is to achieve an r5 limited weapon vs getting the catch.

It's her **f2p** BiS

whats BiS?

Best in Slot

ah thank you

It’s her f2p bis weapon. Other 4* on that list are on limited banner, whose R5 are arguably harder to get than 5* weapons. Her standard gacha or other f2p weapons are significantly worse

now that I look at it yes the weapons above Catch are all banner weapons and require R5 at that. Yeesh.

A R5 wavebreaker fin is more expensive than getting her signature weapon, and a R5 deathmatch is barely competitive if you use Bennett, not to mention it costs $50 and 6 months of waiting. R5 catch beats every other 4* option, and is totally free and guaranteed.

dang that's a lotta money for a weapon that is barely better than something that can be obtained by just fishing for a week. that is good to know

The value of 6 BPs isn't just in the weapon though, it come with a LOT of resources including wishes and primos (if you finish the whole thing anyway)

Well the weapon isn't all you get for the $50, 5 battle passes also give a fair share of useful materials and wishes, but you still gotta buy all 5 of them to get the weapon to R5.

In Soheil's wish, Thutmose secret base part. Guide says I have to follow Ermites to get the password but there are no eremites anywhere near the gate, even the oasis is empty. I tried changing time too but no luck. What's the issue?

Check to see if you're in co-op mode. They won't show up if you are, I figured this out after scratching my head for several days ;;

You probably killed them? There's absolutely Eremites everywhere, and it's hard to miss the one patrolling solo. Alternatively you have some other random quest active in the area that's messing with spawns.

It's on far end of the desert, I don't even come to this site so I don't think I killed any in this area. I also don't think theres any world quest active in this area either cuz I don't think theres even any desert quest I have other than the one I'm doing (I will have to check to make sure tho)

So I was wondering is doing 10 pull more beneficial or 1 pull, I mean does chances of getting 5 star increases in 10 pull

i think i saw someone say before only do 1 pulls if ur on hard pity if u only want that 5 star character and nothing else, or if u have a wishing addiction

By hard pity you mean when my pity count is below 50??

i think hard pity is 70+ but im not sure

no, no difference. a ten pull is just a faster way of doing 10 1 pulls.

I see

Hi, could someone suggest 2 teams for me to use in Spiral Abyss? I'm currently AR47 at Floor 10 chamber 1. 3 stars preferred but 2 stars are fine too. And I can upgrade characters to lvl 60 if needed. I'm guessing it is impossible to clear floor 12 but I'd like to go as far as possible. [My characters](https://ibb.co/GH3LXDt) Thank you for the help.

idk if its good cuz i dont have scara or raiden but i think scara raiden bennet xingqiu could be fun then a team im finding fun and strong atm is rosaria + koko + yae + layla, but you could use fischl instead of yae and sayu instead of koko (phys rosaria btw) or if u get chongyun, could go 4p blizzard rosaria, xingqiu, sayu/layla, chongyun and use faruzan instead of xingqiu in 1st team

1. Raiden hyperbloom withXingqiu, dendro mc, and Aloy /j 2. Xiangling, Bennett, Rosaria, Layla

Raiden Bennett Xiangling Xingqiu and Scara Faruzan Layla flex or Tighnari Fischl Lisa Barbara

Thanks I'll try these out

I just pulled Raiden Shogun and I have some questions: • **Question #1** \- Can C0 Raiden Shogun be on field main damage dealer? • **Question #2** \-Are there any decent F2P weapon choices except The Catch? I realized I don't have many polearms

Yes c0 is more than enough. Contrary to what some may think, her c2/c3 isn't needed for her to be a hypercarry, instead it's just equivalent to a character's c6, that's all. None really, the catch is almost tailor made for her and honestly as good as 5 stars on raiden.

1) For sure 2) Not really but the Catch is honestly all you need, it competes with 5-stars.

1. She is onfield during her burst. She doesnt contribute anything onfield outside that 2. If you run her in hyperbloom teams, then dragons bane, inazuma or sumeru craftable are all good f2p options. In her non dendro team, her alternative can be fav lance or bp lance (not really f2p)

if i didn't get the featured weapon on the weapons banner i'm guaranteed to get one next time right(in a different banner)? bc i was reading the details of the banner and they mention something of "in this event wish" so idk if it carries on or not just like the epitomized path

The whole point of the epitomized path is to make up for the lack of 50/50 on the banner. The featured weapons have a static chance of being pulled up until the epitomized path conditions are fulfilled. This does not carry over between banners. So if you want a weapon guaranteed you need to save up the Primo's to hit three 5 star pulls. Otherwise you are just throwing wishes away.

Yes

Yes it carries over

[удалено]

roughly like a 5-15% difference depending on the stacks and your stats. definitely not worth the refinements since it's a pretty good option on a lot of characters

Need suggestions. Which 4 star sub dpses are OP like Fischl Xiangling Xingqiu

Probably beidou, rosaria, kuki kind of? In hyperbloom atleast. Kaeya's pretty good too ig. Lisa is too? Assuming you can get her burst up easy.

uh, really those three are the ones. I guess beidou is often the go to for taser comps, and kuki really shines in hyperbloom. Sucrose for swirl driving but she's onfield for that often.

Beidou Edit: i forgot Rosaria and maybe Kaeya

[удалено]

Just hold onto it and save it for the future

Time for physical Qiqi, she's a beast for coop content

Refining does nothing for Bennett. It increases the secondary effect which he has no use for. Just keep it for a potential other sword user. Usually I say do what you want. It's your stuff. But in this case it serves no point.

yeah refinements are kinda useless. save it - it's sometimes better than the other swords you might have just because of the attack, even if the stat and passive isn't good

It is super dumb

I've been playing GI with my gmail account. I want to create a mihoyo account but I don't want to start over. Is there any way to transfer all the data from my gmail account to a new mihoyo account?

you can make a mihoyo account and just link it to your current account, I believe. in settings there's options for that

Should I create a mihoyo account first then try to link my gmail account (with my progress) after starting a new one?

No, other way round. Link your email to create a hoyoverse account from within your existing game.

[https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/news/detail/6408](https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/news/detail/6408) I found an old post from hoyo themselves about how to do it, I don't think anything has really changed about the process so it will probably work if you do it this way

Thank you very much. It's a big help

So the 3.4 update is coming so I was wondering who should I pull for, please tell me pros and cons of the characters which are going to feature in the update

Al haitham: idk, not yet released so we should refrain from judging characters on spreadsheet and theoretical numbers especially since no one has actually tested it yet in actual combat. Xiao: pros is that he's an anemo main dps meaning that he doesn't care much about reactions. Fairly straightforward, use shield, sub dps/buffers, skill skill burst then plunge and kill everyone. Also pretty good for aoe content. Plunges hits a pretty wide range of enemies. Cons is that his playstyle isn't for everyone. Also very few supports work with him. No good synergy aside from zhongli and maybe faruzan. Also extremely not f2p friendly. Best 4 star weapon is from bp. Hu tao: pros is that she's good at boss killing. Extremely strong for ST, bosses melt right away. Good burst, potential big pp nuke. Nothing left much to say tbh she's just extremely stronk. Good f2p weapons, mainly dragons bane. Cons is that her playstyle is also a hit or miss. Jump/dash cancels may be annoying. No stamina = sad life. Also low hp bothers me idk if it'll bother you but be careful not to be hit by a boar. Yelan: pros, she's hydro. That's it that's all you need to know she's good. 5 star xq but xq is the 2nd best 4 star we have rivaling some 5 stars in utility and flexibility. Do i really even need to say more? Fun skill, her + sayu = stamina who? in overworld. Deals high personal damage off field while applying hydro to enemies. Tons of good f2p weapon, one of which is fav, probably her bis 4 star. Cons, does she... does she have one? Uhhhh she can't apply hydro fast enough alone but that's only applicable for hu tao vape tbh. Will kill enemies fast in overworld, your main dps is now only there to look pretty and collect monster loot. Extremely good cons and weapon, will end up being tempted to pull for those so maybe she's the most non f2p character?

from a meta perspective put everything in yelan and you literally cant go wrong. she broke genshin

It seems our thoughts are quite alike😁😁

if you c1r1 yelan you probably will never struggle with abyss anymore, She does more damage than high invested yoimiya, from off field. Like wtf mihoyo

What do you mean by c1r1 yelan, I know about c1 but what is c1r1??

what? r1 means refinement 1 her event weapon. Shes broken with c1r1

Ohh I see, sorry my bad😁😁

It would be helpful if you'd post your existing roster, it doesn't really help much to analyze them in a vaccum - the best character isn't gonna be useful for you if you don't have any of their team mates. In a vaccum, XQ is probably the best all-rounder choice of the bunch. He has strong off-field damage, strong hydro application, he has damage reduction & heal and he fits into pretty much any team that wants hydro. His only downsize is that he is single-target focused. Also he can be purchased in the Starglitter shop, unlike some of the other options.

This are the characters that I have c0 diluc, c0 raiden, c0 beidou, c0 chongyun, c0 Barbara, c0 rosaria, c0 kojou sara, c0 kuki shinobu, c0 Lisa, c0 Xiangling, c0 Xingqiu, c0 gorou, c0 thoma, c1 kaeya, c2 noelle. To be honest I actually want a team to revolve around my raiden

Ah, pardon - I thought you were talking about the free New Year character. Raiden's typical teams are Raiden National - [Raiden, XQ, XL, Bennett], Raiden Hyperbloom - [Raiden, Nahida/Dendro, Hydro, Flex] and Raiden Hypercarry - [Raiden, C6 Sara, Bennett, Flex]. Hypercarry is mostly for Raiden C2+, and Sara is questionable below C6, so it's not an ideal option for you. Kuki is actually not much worse than Raiden in Hyperbloom (mostly her shorter skill duration means more swapping is needed), so you can still run that with her if you go for Raiden National. Raiden National has Raiden on-field, in the Hyperbloom comps she is usually off-field and just uses her (E) from time to time. If you want to go down the Raiden National route you don't need any extra 5*. However, you could consider picking up Yelan - she is extremely powerful _and_ she would allow you to run a XQ equivalent in your second team. And she would probably be a solid replacement for Bennett until you can pick him up in the Starglitter shop (if you are fine running without a dedicated healer, that is). Alhait might work as a driver in hyperbloom, but I haven't watched any of the pre-release analysis. Tbh, if you want to go down that route I'd rather wait up for Nahida's re-run - she is a fantastic generalist dendro character that is useful in any existing dendro comp.

* alhaitham: kind of hard because he isn't out yet so not everything can be tested. Dendro (currently an element with a small pool), looks like a pretty good on field dmg dealer, sick animations, voiced by umehara * xiao: anemo dps, imo really reliable and easy to use. Not the strongest of the hypercarries but does a pretty good job, from what I understand faruzan can push his damage really high. Burst reliant * Hutao: well known as one of the strongest single target dmg dealers, without c1 she's often considered difficult to play optimally. wants to not have full health so you need a shield but healers don't match with her as well, stapled to xingqiu or yelan or both * yelan: strong, good movement for overworld, xingqiu but more dmg for somewhat less hydro application and no healing, used in a wide variety of teams, not really sure she has many cons except for personal preference (if you like her personality/looks)

Tbh I was thinking about pulling yelan because of her versatility but I kind confused between versatility or damage since xiao and hutao are like dps

depends on what you need or feel like using. Do you have other on field main dps that you like using or do you want a new one to play with, or do you like either one's personality? If you're not really sure yelan is the safest pick

Thanks bro

Why not just tell us which characters you have and we tell you which one would benefit you more? Or even better, wait until they're out and figure it out yourself

Well I'm not sure if I will figure it out on my own so just tell you the characters that I have, c0 diluc, c0 raiden, c0 beidou, c0 chongyun, c0 Barbara, c0 rosaria, c0 kojou sara, c0 kuki shinobu, c0 Lisa, c0 Xiangling, c0 Xingqiu, c0 gorou, c0 thoma, c1 kaeya, c2 noelle. To be honest I actually want a team to revolve around my raiden

im using a redmi note 11 with 6gb of ram and i downloaded the game but it lags a lot nd when it does finally load past the main screen it runs for a few seconds before closing the app automatically. what can i do to fix this?

That's weird. I use the same phone and there's pretty much no lag and issues with it running. The only thing I can think of is perhaps your graphics are too high(second option from lowest is the best). the files could also be corrupt making your game crash. Idk if it will help you but Make sure -no baground power hungry app is running -you have enough space -if your game loads up to the second loading screen, click on the small wrench button to check file integrity. -reinstall the game if nothing else works.

This is weird. I play it on my old Redmi Note 8 and even if it has lag during some battles, it's mostly fine during the game and it only has 4 GB of RAM. Are you perhaps trying to use the graphics settings at the maximum? I'd suggest trying to see if there are any other apps running in the background that are consuming a considerable amount of your RAM, closing it, the. opening the game and as soon as it loads, go to the settings screen to change the configuration to lower graphics, to see if it is causing the problem.

Best team for Al-Haitham? In a general sense lol.

We can't know until he's out, but so far he seems to be a Spread Mains DPS, so either: -Alhaitam / Nahida / 2 electros -Alhaitam / 2 electros / 1 flex slot Check out a subreddit like AlHaitam mains to see what theorycrafters suggest.

Quickbloom or pure hyperbloom generally. Spread is also solid. Pretty much all of his best teams have Nahida, a lot of his best teams have Yelan or Xingqiu, and then your electro unit is variable depending on the type of team you're playing.

C1 hu tao or c0 hu tao +yelan (Double hydro or c1)

C0 of each def. I think yelan would give more dps on hu tao's team, assuming double hydro, than c1 will.

Yea i think thats the move too.

yelan. If you can c1 her. changes how you play the game.

Go for Yelan, not only is she cracked for Hu Tao, she’s also broken on her own and with double hydro anything even if Hu Tao herself is countered.

Hu Tao + Yelan

Would HP or healing bonus circlet be better on Bennett if I want to go a purely healing build?

Dont listen to these guys HP is way better. Here is why. First he gives tons of healing already. Second HP allows him to take huge damages from bosses without dying while giving more healing. Another good way is CRIT circlet with HP , Er , CRIT substats.

In general, if your character is a healer a HB circlet will always be better for their healing than a circlet with whatever stat their healing scales off of (HP in Bennett’s case). HB just scales better.

Healing bonus will make him heal more at once. And since he heals pretty fast, you easily reach the max amount he can heal, so there is no point going for more HP instead

Healing bonus

Healing Bonus.

I heard conflicting things about GI's difficulty (F2P): 1) The game is very easy and you don't need 5star chars and perfect team and artifact setup to succeed. Optimizing is mainly to make things easier and faster to farm. 2) Game becomes very hard later on and you need to optimize your team and artifacts. And you could even get in a semi stuck spot if you messed up your progression and/or were unlucky with gacha. Which one is true? Is 1) mainly the opinion of people really good at this type of combat in games? I have to say , I'm not good at all with dodging and stuff.

The important thing is to distinguish between the content. The overworld is in general pretty easy (aside from a few difficulty spikes when your rank up the world level). So if you just care about the story & exploration, you can pretty much play the game with anyone you want - once you get decent gear from playing (no money investment needed) any character becomes good enough for that part of the game. The Spiral Abyss is not too hard until you reach Floor 11, but then you will get a massive increase in difficulty. Floor 12 has some pretty harsh scaling - I think you need about double the damage to go from 2 stars to a full 3 star clear. That finally bit is the part where you need good gear which can take months to farm. The good news is that the abyss is optional content, and the rewards are pretty marginal. A full clear is only worth a few extra wishes per month, and even a F2P account should be able to clear everything including Floor 11 without too much of a hassle, which means you miss out on about 2 wishes or 3 daily quests worth of currency per month.

Both have truth, but 1 is more accurate overall. There is certain content, mainly an endgame combat dungeon called spiral abyss, where optimization and synergistic team building are necessary to clear (and especially to clear comfortably), but the content required to complete the exploration and story can 100% be completed with f2p and/or four star characters and minimal farming. You’ll obviously have to do a bit of building and will probably benefit from some basic game knowledge (what weapons and stats different characters want) if you want to clear stuff comfortably (there’s a particular difficulty spike people seem to encounter around ar 35-45ish), but it’s at its core a casual game meant to appeal to a wide audience with not a lot of time to play each day. If you ever get too stuck, there’s always coop where you can bring high AR players into your world and have them one shot everything for you if it’s too hard for your current rosters/builds to beat. Trust me, there’s people who want to help. And, if you continue playing over time you’ll inevitably accumulate a good roster of characters, even if you just pull for 5 stars you want instead of the most “meta” ones (in fact pulling for who you like is the vastly favored reccomendation, in the case of 5 stars). This game’s gacha is actually pretty forgiving; Genshin is not all that generous with pulls, but since both four star weapons and four star characters are actually good (and in certain cases beat out 5 stars) each pull has a lot more value. I myself am a sweaty hardcore loser who loves optimizing the hell out of my characters, but I have a good friend who doesn’t do that in the slightest and they’re absolutely fine even if my heart dies inside a little every time I gaze upon their 12% crit rate Childe.

Everything but abyss is easy.

Option 2 is really only relevant for spiral abyss, which is endgame content you can ignore. The rewards for it are not that huge, and you will likely be able to get some of them anyways after you build up characters enough, just not full rewards. The majority of the game is not that hard and doesn't require perfect teams, gameplay skills, or setups, though obviously they will make things easier for you. If you're really not good with this kind of game combat, you might find a few things challenging like some of the later world bosses, but you have a lot of avenues for healing and can coop a lot of that stuff if you really need the help.

Ah thank you for the information, so it's only the optional endgame which is hard. (like in most online RPGs really) > If you're really not good with this kind of game combat, you might find a few things challenging like some of the later world bosses, but you have a lot of avenues for healing and can coop a lot of that stuff if you really need the help. Ok. I heard about using chars with lots of shields and heals to help with lower player skill. Maybe that will work. Will research into that later.

Yeah, the endgame stuff with reoccuring rewards is considered the hardest content in the game and singleplayer only. It's a set of timed battles with enemies that have been adjusted with a lot of hp and hit really hard, so you do need good setups and teams + decent gameplay to fully clear it. You might be able to get through some of it with good enough gear though. Yeah, there are some pretty good shield and healing options that are available to you. You'll still need to dodge some of the time but you can eat food to gain buffs to your character too, so there are some extra avenues to making things easier.

It's easy if you actually bother to learn mechanics, most bosses usually have exploitable mechanic that helps them go down faster. Doing things like using whoever you like can lead to situations where you unknowingly ended up doing a challenge run. Only place I actually got stuck as F2P is abyss where the game current endgame is at and that got cleared consistently after awhile.

I personally lean more towards the first option, but the two scenarios you listed aren't mutually exclusive things, they both are true. The only endgame content with some level of floor is trying to 36* Spiral Abyss, and that will take some level of building and game knowledge to do, but this requires nowhere near a perfectly optimised team. Once you've optimised your team enough to overcome the hurdle that is 36* abyss, well that's kind of it, you don't really need to strengthen the team anymore but you certainly can if you want to. What abyss does require is a *somewhat* optimised team, which is where your 2nd scenario comes into play. Because a lot of character strengthening is both time-gated and RNG gated, it's possible you do get to a position where you're stuck for a little bit hoping RNG is on your side. But again though, I wouldn't consider this a form of 'difficulty', it's just time-gating. Unless you find waiting difficult then it's not really a difficulty thing. One thing to note with this gacha compared to others though is that the endgame content just doesn't matter unfortunately. Nothing is locked behind that content besides just getting more pulls. Everything else outside of it is very casual level and you can clear it with a just a bunch of units you really like with crappy builds.

It all depends on how much time you put into it. Gacha games are made for you to play every day for a few minutes, to take advantage of the FOMO, and therefore you gain very little every day. By playing every day for a while, you're bound to have built units, and built units can clear content whoever they may be. You can even clear the story by using Barbara as a main damage dealer, it's just not that optimal, so definitely option one.

is crowning Raiden's skill worth it? is it a big increase? Current talents are 6/8/10. edit: she is on field hyper carry dps

Not really. Her skill dmg is low and the bns the skill provide for burst reach its max at lvl9 (0.3 per energy).

Mines lvl 9. Unless shes ur fave character or ur have lots of crowns ur not using id leave it at 9 and crown her burst.

Level 9 is worth it, crowning it isn't.

Need advice on who to roll for, Yelan or save for potential kazuha rerun. My current roster is: Raiden, Nahida, Ayaka, Ganyu, Mona, Nahida, bennet, xiangling, xinqiu, beidou, sucrose, thoma, nninguang, razor, sayu, fischl.

Here's my advice. Before pulling for yelan, wait for the livestream and see if kazuha will have a rerun then. If he doesn't, decide if you'd be able to save up enough for him. If he does then I'd say go for him just because he's so versatile and op. If you have enough primos to guarantee kazuha if he doesn't run in 3.5, then you should go pull for yelan.

Ty for the advice appreciate it! Will do just that

2 nahidas huh

My friend didnt like the one she had so she gave it to me, they're both very happy in my roster :)

Lol does the e stack twice with 2 of them

Nah but u get a pretty neat overlap of their ults

Tht seems cool

Probably Yelan. Who knows when Kazuha will rerun. If you are afraid that Kazuha will rerun in 3.5, wait for 3.5 livestream to make your decisions

Since you don’t have Venti I’d consider Kazuha more valuable since having at least two anemo CC supports (Sucrose+Venti or Kazuha) is really valuable for team building, and you already have Mona for freeze. Especially because you have freeze, Kazuha gets even better; both he and Venti are a big upgrade over sucrose as the anemo option for that team. That said, Kazuha’s probably not coming back for a bit so you’re probably safe to roll for Yelan too if she and Kazuha are the only two characters you want in the near future.

Damn you have two nahida? Neither are really "needed" in your roster but I'd say kazuha just because I prefer him

Gilded Dreams or Flower of Paradise Lost for Kuki hyperbloom?

PL gives slightly more dmg but is inefficient to farm if you don’t have Wanderer. GD gives less dmg but is better to farm since you also get Deepwood which is very important for HB teams. What you can do is farm for DW for your supports and if you manage to get enough EM pieces on GD then stick with it. If not, you can farm for PL for more dmg.

Thanks for info. I have Wanderer and got a decent set for him for now but I didn't get any EM PL pieces. I also have Nahida but got no EM GD pieces either ... Since I want to make a hyperbloom team I guess I'll farm GD for now since I might get better Deep wood pieces too. Btw EM or CR for Nahida Circlet? I have a CR on her currently.

If personal dmg is what you’re looking for just go with whatever has the best substats. Nahida has a lot different bis loadouts for various teams that TCers recommend building her for substat quality over mainstat.

If you can get around 800+ EM with CR circlet then it's good otherwise EM is to go for

Paradise lost is slightly better, but much less resin efficient. If you also need to farm Wanderer, then go for Paradise Lost, otherwise go for Gilded. Emphasising that if you're running hyperbloom, you need to have someone holding Deepwood as well on that team so the Gilded+Deepwood domain is very resin efficient.

Gilded dreams does slightly less damage than paradise set but it gives more healing as it directly increases em. Depends on which is important to you, healing or more damage

Why do they suddenly not care about being taboo and gave Hu Tao such a role at Lantern Rite?

They can set taboo aside for a moment if there's big money to be made. But really, her banner doesn't coincide with irl Chinese New Year since its in the 2nd phase.

Her banner should run after Lantern Rite is complete, if I understand the dates correctly.

Hello, me again 😁 running a variation of rational team, and upon googling the regions it shows that inazuma is accessible after liyue, Momiji-Dyed Court requires AR30 (am 23-24 now, just got done with first region and heading to liyue), is it possible/realistic to farm it as soon as i hit that requirement? Or is it difficult without somewhat optimizing my build (using good artifacts, maxing out weapons and character levels etc)? And if so, which early game sets should i be using until then? Right now for raiden and XL am using 2 pc exile or scholar for the 20% energy recharge mixed with 2 pc resolution for the 18% attack, the prototype spear that give energy recharge, for benny am using favonius sword, resolution and adventurer and using HP bonuses where ever i could. All artifacts are level 4-8

It's not worth farming artifacts until AR45 when 5* artifacts are guaranteed drops. Largely just ignore sets and use whatever has the best stats. Generally 2pc Berserker is pretty good, or any of the 2pc ATK% sets are fine before AR45 but you shouldn't actively farm these nor force these set bonuses at the expense of good stats, just get them passively.

Oh so before ar45 i can get the artifacts but in a 4star version instead of 5 which makes the bonuses lower? Yea am not actively farming anything now, just exploring as thoroughly as I could without using guides, and trying to complete unlocked domains once to get the initial rewards, i do have lots of berserker actually buy haven’t thought it would be helpful as a 2pc set, what is the default crit rate in genshin if u have zero bonuses? In other games u usually have innate crit chance/dmg like 10% and 50%

The set bonuses don't change, but the stats on the artifacts do. A 4* artifact maxed out will be roughly 30% less powerful than a 5* artifact maxed out. Farming other things (like leylines or talent materials or ascension materials) is generally considered the more optimal play before AR45, because even though the drops are less efficient than they will be later on, it's still guaranteed progress for your characters.

The set bonus is still the same values, but 4* artifacts only max out at +16 instead of +20, not to mention the stat values are just lower overall. The only reason you would use a 4* set is if the set bonus didn't exist as a 5* and the character's offensive stats didn't matter very much, things like 4pc Exile on Gorou that mainly scales with talent levels and ER, or 4pc Instructor on DendroMC who scales poorly anyways and also would rather just stack ER and give teamwide EM. Default crit values are 5% CR and 50% crit damage. 12% CR is a nice chunk before AR45, even at AR45 you'd consider using a 5* artifact with +12% CR if the mainstat was good.

Thanks for the clarification much appreciated

You can't properly farm artifacts until AR45, so forget about it till then honestly. Don't rush to the domain, just take the story as it comes. For now, whatever artifacts give you attack, crit, and ER where it's needed. Set bonuses are just that - bonuses - at this stage, as it's not worth shooting for them specifically due to the limited amount of artifacts available.

Got it, can u just clarify why artifacts cant be properly farmed until AR45? What happens at AR45?

AR45 is when you unlock the highest level in domains, the only one that gives a guaranteed 5\* artefact (the only ones you care about). Pre-45, resin is much better spent on talents, ley lines and weapon materials. You can run a few domains here and there pre-45 in a pinch (getting just a random 4-pc set of Veridescent Veneer without even caring about the stats, if you have an Anemo character,can be useful), but if you do, do not spend fragile resin on them

Yea i havent spent any fragile resin yet. Ty for the replies and help👍🏼

Artifact domains have multiple levels but every level below max is a trap that achieves nothing but pissing your resin away. AR45 is when the last level unlocks for all domains, which guarantees you a 5 star artifact. Before then, you spend the same amount of resin for a good chance of getting absolutely nothing of value.

K thanks for all the help buddy

Is there a hybrid Barbara build (decent heal + NA/CA damage), that I can use almost eveywhere (CoOp Domains + exploration)? Thinking about building her.

With a 4-pc Clam set. You build her full heal (HP/HP/Healing%) and the clam set will do damage. Not the greatest DPS still, but can be fun to do some damage while healing in Coop or in the overworld. Not resin efficient to farm it tho, if you don't have a DEF scaling character to make use of the Husk set on the same domain ( Itto , or Noelle, or Yun-Jin)

Gotcha, thanks!

You can check [Barbara guide](https://keqingmains.com/barbara/). They have vaporise build and clam build on Barbara

Going 4pc Ocean Hued Clam is kind of what you're looking for. Your NA/CA damage is still going to be dogwater but you'll easily make up that damage from your OHC bursts. Going full healing support + OHC will outdamage going a traditional Crit DPS Barbara, while also maintaning much better healing capabilities.

Full healing build then, HP/HP/Heal?
