lol at having Hu Tao, Raiden and Mona and rolling with Razor and Geo Traveler instead:mjlol:

but I do think Mihoyo should rework the ascension system, for instance, if a new player starts today and likes the way ShenHe looks and pulls for her, they'll have to go through hours of quests to unlock the areas and boss fights to ascend her to a competent fighting level

He's clearly just starting out plus as long as he's enjoying playing with them who cares

that’s why I said the system needs to be reworked, because it’s punishing on people who are just starting. he likes Raiden but can’t fully level her up yet. and he’s looking to optimize his teams, so he does care. I simply found it amusing, and I was going to advise them but the specifically asked @hex so I left it to hex to come advise them

i hope we’re not becoming so soft here that we can’t laugh at each other as if this wasn’t the arcadium

The fact you took that as a personal attack implies your the one who's becoming soft

Shenhe, Xiao and Ganyu who is the next re-run also all need qingxin to level them up. I didn't roll for Shenhe but I'm not gonna have enough flowers for Xiao and Ganyu.

And even when I get him Xiao to 90, I have zero slime mats to ascend anything.

I used to run this route every couple days for Qingxin flowers. I hope it helps:

Aight my squad I’m running with are level 60 and consist of C2 Razor, C1 Bennett, C3 Diona, C1 Xingqui, Geo Traveler,

Then I have a few level 50 I’ll throw in the team C1 Mona,C0 Hu Tao, C3 Xianling

Level 40 C0 Raiden Shogun I would like to level her up the most but I haven’t progressed enough in Inzuma to fight anyone who has her shyt to level up yet:snoop:

Level 37 C4 Ninganng

Then a bunch of characters I don’t use at all level Lisa,Kaeya,Sucrose,QiQi,Aloy,Gorou,Rosaria,Chonhyu,Kujo Sara,Fischl,Barbara,Thoma,Yanfei,

My artifacts highest level are 4 my main characters weapons are level 60 and my world rank is 4 and currently on the mission to level up my adventure rank ascension 3. Currently level 45

Apologies for the long text just wanted to be as thorough as possible and you seem to be the most knowledgeable on this game

Bennett, Diona, and Xingqiu are all great characters. You won't keep those three on the field, they're support. You use their abilities then switch to another character

All three of the above characters, use Noblesse Oblige artifact set. Focus on Energy Recharge as much as you can.

For weapons, do Sacrificial Bow for Diona, and Sacrificial Sword for Xingqiu. Put the highest attack sword you have on Bennett, during his burst he gives his base attack (affected by the weapon he's using) to anyone in that red circle.

Level up Xiangling. Use The Catch as a weapon (free polearm you get from fishing) and Emblem Of Severed Fate artifacts. Whenever her burst is up, use it then swap to another character. She's support/damage.

Level up Hu Tao right now. She's seriously one of the best damage dealers in the game. Use Crimson Witch set on her, with an HP sands and a pyro damage cup. She converts HP to attack so you want as much HP on her as possible. I don't know what weapons you have, or if you spend money. If you don't have any 5* pole arms, you can use Dragon's Bane. It's a 4*.

Hu Tao + Xingqiu is like Jordan and Pippen. Use them together ASAP.

Eventually you'll also want to level up Kujou Sara since you're interested in Raiden Shogun. Kujou Sara is her best support, similar to Hu Tao/Xingqiu. Use Emblem Of Severed Fate set on Kujou Sara, and the highest damage bow you have. She's like Bennett, she gives an attack buff based on her base attack.

When you do level up Raiden Shogun, use Emblem Of Severed Fate artifacts and The Catch. Her and Xinagling probably won't be on the same team, so they can share that weapon. Or you can also use Prototype Starglitter (crafted 4*) or Favonius Lance (4* from wishes) on Xiangling if you have to. Hell, you can even use Dragon's Bane.

Raiden Shogun converts Energy Recharge into electro damage, so get as much Energy Recharge as possible on her. Also she's the best "battery" in the game. A battery generates energy particles for the rest of your team, so you can use your elemental bursts more often.

I'd definitely focus on doing quests and getting your World Level up so you have more options available to you. Also get your artifacts as close to 20 as possible. You're leaving a lot of stats and benefits "on the table" by not having them max level.

All that aside, have fun man. I just told you the "best" things to do but use whatever is fun to you. This game isn't difficult enough, where you need to play it a very specific way.

And obviously if you have any more questions, let me know breh.

Fred.

at the crit rate/damage ratio on my Xiao.

aD13ezq.png


2 piece Gladiator's, 2 piece Viridescent Venerer with Jade Winged Spear as the weapon.

I have some insane stats on those artifacts because I've obviously been collecting Gladiator's since day 1, and nobody else uses them really. And as far as Viridescent Venerer, no other
Anemo character needs crit/crit damage. They mostly use Elemental Mastery. So I was sitting on some crazy artifacts that I'd never even looked at, prior to needed them for Xiao.

Talents are 3/3/5 so far and the damage is good. Gonna 10/9/10 them as soon as I can.

^Similar build to my Xiao. Mine is at 72% Crit Rate 236% Crit Damage. The formula is usually a 1:2 ratio, but after testing multiple times I feel like once your Crit Rate is touching 70% then you're better off speccing the rest into Crit Damage since you're going to get those big ass numbers consistently too.

My Jean is also using two VV and two Gladiator and she's another anemo character that's good with Crit stats, especially if you spam her elemental skill. My Jean hits for +25K with a 6 second cooldown. Don't even haver a 5* weapon on her or her skill crowned. She's also C2 so every time she grabs an orb it boosts party attack and movement speed for 15 secs. She's a beast and I think she's the most rounded character in the game. her stats are 65% Crit Rate 130% Crit Damage

Whenever the banner comes back I'm gonna get a Homa for Xiao. 88% crit rate is over kill and what's funny is, if I swapped out a couple other artifacts he'd have 103% crit rate, even with a crit damage hat.

Homa is such a strong weapon. I'm holding two and I know when it comes back around I'm going to grab at least one more.

No, she's actually kinda like a geo Bennett.

Well, Gorou is like a geo Bennett....but let me explain.

Yun Jin's burst turns her DEF into normal attack damage for her or other characters. Not an attack bonus, it's straight up extra damage.

It's better for quick, lower damage weapons though. It gives roughly 3k more for claymores....over 5k for swords and pole arms with 2.7k DEF.

Also she's easy as fukk to gear.

2 piece 5* Husk set and 2 piece 4* Defender's Will. Total that gives you +60% DEF.

DEF head piece, cup, and sands.

Any pole arm with Energy Recharge as the sub-stat.

Once I finish Xiao I'm gonna level her up. I already have all the materials besides the mora.

Just want to say thanks for the breakdown and tips for my characters I see I have a lot of work to do I’ll focus on getting these artifacts while doing quests and that should keep me busy for a while if I get stuck I know I can hit you brehs in this thread:salute:

On another note should I be rolling for any of these character banners or just focus on getting my weight up with the characters I have?
