Best healer with Hu Tao? Daring. I suppose the constant vaping counter acts her being above 50% HP, huh?
 
Yeah it’s mainly for vapes. I have many different comps I could do with her now (double vape, double anemo vape, cryo burst bot). Well worth it because hu Tao has had a tendency to apply pyro quicker than Xingqiu’s blades can keep up.
 
Yes Kokomi works very well with so many characters, she is the absolute GOD in my opinion when it comes to healing.

I laugh at all those comments that said she was going to be absolute useless compared to Barbara and QiQi but mine does 6000 healing every few seconds of Jellyfish so almost dead Hu-Tao - not a problem!

Reminds me I really need to build her on my 2nd account...
 
Just a reminder - FREE 'mogems end of week time!

Looking forward to seeing what's the wishes this time since for the most part no one really knows this time, hoping it's Kazuha and NOT Venti like everyone wants because Venti is just not fitting in my groups right now.

If no Yomiya well I guess I am saving Primogems all thre way to 2.7!
 
Well F for me no Yoimiya re-run maybe in 2.7 tho...

The rest of the update in summary in the spoiler...

Well done!

I still have a long way to go with Inazuma electroli. It is the only one I have not completed yet and of course the Sakura tree.

The new Chasm area is excellent tho I have only lightly tread the surface as been trying out the new domain, did not get anything useful today to try and start building Xiao but plenty of time, not like I am not used to farming for days for the good pieces now.

Got to do the Spiral Abyss for my free mogems before the reset at the end of the week and shall see how I do on Floor 12 this time now my geo's are built.
 
Two new characters, two different roles as supporting DPS.

I’m more excited for Kuki Shinobu. Her leaked kit shows she sacrifices HP for her skill, similar to Hu Tao.

I intend to go for both of them, defo priority for Yelan tho as really love her style/looks, I am guessing Shinobu will be Electro?
Click to expand...
Yelan reminds me of Fubuki from One Punch Man, maybe it's the jacket and short hair or something. :lol: But I'll be saving for them, as well as Yoimiya, which maybe maybe she'll come in the next update with them. I think I have a 110 wishes saved up right now. So this update I'll be doing more saving, as I won't pull for Ayato, and I already have Ayaka.
 
Got blessed with C6 Yun Jin on single rolls. Man, my Joymiya comp just got more broken.

Jean uses Gale Blade and C2 perk activates, giving 15% normal attack speed increase, switch to Yun Jin and activate burst, giving 12% normal attack speed, switch to Fischl and use Oz, switch to Yoimiya and go ham. 27% speed increase on normals is insane and really feels like a Gatling gun.

Nice work.

Today i finally got enough talent material from the Raiden Shogun weekly boss to ascend Yae Miko's talents to 8 so that with her weapon now finally at 90/90 I ithink she will be my most complete character.

The new Abyss is very tough for us non anemo players at least on Floor 11-1 and Floor 12-2 but for the first time I have the potential to get 6 out of 9 stars on Floor 12 and maybe the full 36 if I get a good party together.

Have been trying the following as Team 1

Ayaka Kamisato (Cryo)
Yae Miko (Electro)
Amber (Pyro)
Kokomi (Hydro)

Amber is there just for some additional element damage for the Treasure Hoarders.

Team 2:

Eula (Cryo)
Ganyu (Cryo)
Noelle (Geo)

I keep switching around the last member between Sucrouse and Bennett but nieither of them are fully prepared so they get killed quite frequently. I am sure once Xinqiu gets finished I'll be in a better position but it's tough work on those Abyss Heralds on 12-2.
 
Oh my, why haven't I seen this thread before. Been playing this game since September last year and I'm in love. My party is Yae Miko, HuTao, Diona and Ganyu, all level 90. Yae and Ganyu have max talents (no crowns), HuTao is also max + triple crowned. Waiting for Ayaka to also be triple crowned.

Been exploring The Chasm today and it's so cool, the story is already very interesting (didn't get any far yet though) and it looks awesome. And I love the ambient of the underground part. For some reason, Enkanomiya wasn't anywhere near as fun as this update.

Welcome to the topic!

Glad you are having fun with the new update, I too am enjoying The Chasm tho I have not progressed the story much yet but it is defo gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

Good party, currently I am running Yae Miko, Kokomi, Amber and Ganyu (yes 2 bow users in one team) but I like them both so much I keep them both in the team.

New update is definitely gonna be interesting. Can't wait to see what our cool mysterious guy has to say this time. But probably won't get to that part for a couple of weeks, work only lets me play during weekends, and other days are just for dailies and resin.

Our parties are 50% the same :lol: I really wanted Kokomi, and even used like 30 wishes for her, but after the news about Ayaka I had to skip. Ayaka is probably my favourite character in this game, mostly by design, but I also loved her quest. Hopefully gonna get her, I was lucky to win 50/50 with Ganyu and Yae, and I definitely don't have primos to afford losing 50/50, F2P life.

Ayaka is defo worth your time. I pulled her back on her 1st banner and did not use her for months due to ignorance on my part but when I did finally build her I realised I should have done it much earlier.

When Ganyu's not around Ayaka's usually in her place...

Oh yeah, every time I had a chance to try her in a trial in different events she was always great. Definitely a good addition to the team. Still not sure who I will replace though, my current party maybe doesn't give the biggest numbers, but works very nicely anyway.
 
Finally got around to doing Ayato's story quest line. I really enjoyed the story line, even if there wasn't much change to try him out. It almost makes me want to pull for him, but I need to save primos. Since I did that story quest, I didn't have time to do more of the Chasm quest line. I'm slowly going through it, and not burning through it as quick as possible. But I'm looking forward to getting it done, so I can start on that other Archon quest with Dainslief to see how that story unfolds.

Also I wish the teapot was working so I can take out Yae Miko and Raiden Shogun, as I have both of them maxed at friendship 10.
 
Klee is such a blast, no pun intended, lol. This first part of the event I find adorable seeing Klee and Yoimiya together!

So, I completed the whole update, and both big quests were really good. Exploring quest was very nice, but of course Dainsleif's quest was the highlight (even if it was a bit short), with all the new lore stuff, which I love. Architecture of the upside down town was pretty much the exact copy of Enkanomiya, and I'm pretty sure this is not just developers being lazy, I wonder where it's all gonna lead. We're probably like 4 years away from finding all the answers, which is killing me, but at least we get new pieces every few months. Not as bad as Half Life :(

Also, got my favourite waifu!

Congrats!

Yes very much enjoyed the whole update so far and as you say many questions that will take a while to be answered but overall I really like the fact this was a story driven update.

I am gonna have to pull on the banners at some point as I need to get the constelation for Amber so I might give Ayayka's banner a go and see if I manage to get a constellation for her too but otherwise still saving Primogems!
 
Thank you! And yes, definitely nice to finally get something about our sibling, the whole Inazuma was kinda away from that part of the story. Good luck with that, starting characters are probably the hardest to get constellations for.

Here's a few screenshots with Ayaka I took today

Nabbed Ayaka from the character banner, and wow was that worth the guaranteed. Opens up new strategies including the notorious Morgana team for Spiral Abyss. Last reset was slight PTSD because I had to run 3 different teams for each chamber. This time, I just had one go straight through without resetting teams.

Thanks for sharing! This gives me a better idea what teams to try today as away to do the Spiral Abyss myself as not done it yet!

With the lockdown situation in China, I'm not surprised one bit, but hopefully everyone stays safe over there.
Click to expand...

Yes hopefully so.

I hope the news of when the update will happen will be posted sooner than keeping us waiting, May/June is very busy for me so I may not be able to enjoy the update as much as I would have liked if it comes later in the month.

Wonder how the banner will be dealt with since that is still due to end on May 10th could this be the first time we have a period with only the standard banner! That will be odd feeling to see if the case equally like me not having wished at all as I decided not to bother with Amber's constellation from the shop.

Hoping they extend the duration of the leyline overflow event.

That will not extend as Marvelous Merchandise is due to take it's place from next Thurday but they may well be able to extend that event.

I hope they put Keqing banner in the meantime cuz she's the last character out of current ones I really want.

Nothing confirmed yet but the speculation is they might do a Diluc/Jean combo banner using the original Wanderlust Invocation picture like this so no other characters would be on rate up but more chance to get Diluc/Jean.

ezgif.com-gif-maker.jpg


So basically it's the standard banner but with Diluc and Jean on rate up with everything else normal, there would be no weapon banner during this period.

As I say this is not 100% confirmed but considering I am still waiting for Dluc on my FTP account might be a chance to obtain him.
