has anyone crowned any talents? I'm tired of grinding artifacts so I'm going to start farming xp books, mora, and talent books.

So far I've only crowned Ganyu charged attack (100% worth it). I'm working on crowning Bennett's burst right now. Takes 700k mora for the crown + a shytload of purple talent books.

Artifact farming is a complete bytch

Agreed. Artifact farming is pretty much gambling. Getting a Def% main stat sands piece with perfect substats (Crit rate / Crit Damage / ER%) is the most :mjcry: feeling in gaming period for me.

At least with leveling your characters, talents, and weapons, you get guaranteed gains albeit at a very steep cost (limited mora and resin). These rerun banners are actually good for me on that front. I'm less compelled to burn resin raising the shiny new character and I can work on my current characters. My biggest regret after 1 year is leveling too many characters and not leveling weapons to 90. Had a bunch of 60/70 characters for a while with no resources to improve them.

Yeah I made the same mistake. Leveled Qiqi all the way to 80:snoop:

Been farming ESF almost every day for a month and still don't have endgame artifacts :unimpressed:


I've been farming for Ayaka pretty much every day since I got her and I still don't have any decent crit rate stats for her. She's already a beast without it but the shyt shouldn't take this long.:mindblown:

Raiden Shogun - Elemental Skill and Burst crowned.
Bennett - Elemental Burst crowned.
Zhongli - Elemental Skill (shield) crowned.
Eula - everything crowned.
Hu Tao - everything crowned.

And that's it.
Next up I'll crown Kujou Sara's skill to max out the attack bonus. But that will be a while because the current bottleneck for both Raiden Shogun and her is Signora.:francis:

stuff I’ve crowned:

Xiao - normal attacks (it increases his ult damage because the plunge attacks during his ult are classed as normal attacks)

Ganyu - normal attacks (most of her damage comes from charged shots)

Ayaka - ult

Raiden - ult

Hu Tao - normal attacks and skill


Stuff I’m thinking of crowning/will likely crown next:

Jean - skill and ult (she’s the best all arounder to me and Mihoyo seems to want to force a healing meta. I also have her at C2 and really like her)

Raiden - skill (my favorite character so I’ll probably triple crown her really)

Mona - ult (I used to use her all the time then stopped. Recently starting using her again. she’s great. I have her at C2)

Xingqyu - ult

Bennett - ult

So Electro traveler is basically a weaker Raiden Shogun?:ohhh:


Been messing around with his kit and this seems to be the case.

Yeah Traveler is basically a budget version of the archons.

Side note, I been leveling Albedo because I had god tier artifacts just sitting around from farming for Zhongli/Eula.

Gonna 90 him and 9/9/9 his talents. So far he's pretty cool.

Let me preface this by saying, fukk these banners, save for Hu Tao.

Anyway, new character banner is Tartaglia, Ningguang, Yanfei, and Chongyun.

Weapon banner is new 5* bow Polar Star, 5* catalyst Memory Of Dust (was featured before but wasn't very popular), new 4* claymore Akuoumara (which seems awesome, honestly), and various other 4* weapons nobody gives a fukk about.

Both these are a hard pass. I'll cop the BP and the bundle that gives talent books but that's it. Saving all my primos for Itto.

Speaking of which, they just dropped two new character teasers today:





So expect both in 2.3.

Itto’s design is cool. I have a Wolve’s Gravestone just sitting there unused. My problem is that he’s geo. I have that element covered.

I’ll see what he has to offer before making my mind up

I'm just glad it's not another Cryo/Pyro. Mihoyo needs to chill on those elements for a minute lol.
