Genshin Impact

[hayate]

I'm playing it on the ps4, the performance is not that great, but my pc is not much better anyway.

i have 24 characters, 8 at level 80, everyone else level 50. i'm WL7

curently using a freezing team with Ganyu, Mona, Zhongly and TiTi, all talents at 5 and weapons at 80.

I play it on PS4 and I have FFVII remake there too. Still fast for my tastes even though it's a Slim version.

Not gonna lie but that game made me miss two events in FGO, and I'm mad at myself for that.

One event's at 50 missions completed, the other's at 70 missions completed. Those events are freaking Santa Karna and the welfare of Little Big Tengu.

Dang, should have managed it within my 12 hour duty at a local government hospital. -.-

On the flipside, I'll join the cocogoat trend. Sorry Klee, you didn't appear during my time of need. Reminded me of my first 5* in FGO, an Archer and Artemis at that.

Prime Geovishap being solo'd by LV70 cute maid knight with fully leveled 4* gladiator 4 pc set and R2 LV60 Whiteblind. Made me open my mouth as f2p. Made me wonder what it can do at R5 LV70 Whiteblind and 5* 4 pc gladiator set. Still at W3 since I like my levels that way.

Could have made Whiteblind to R5 if not for my friends egging me to level up my world, which is a huge mistake btw since another one of their acquaintances leveled up their Whiteblind to R5 at W1 no less. The 5th one is my fault since I told him where to locate the free claymore prototype. -_-

Been angry at myself ever since and doubting them ever since. Ironically the ones I trust now are strangers that typically invite themselves to my world and not taking anything of value while they are in my world. They are the ones who helped me through Dragonspine to unlock the huge needle there. Those 9 hours of exploration really is worth it.

Playing on Asia server btw and I'll give my code if I have the time.

And for additional experience, I encountered an actual Japanese person playing there. She talked to me in decent English, then full Nihon - go, and I replied in kind, thanks to my half - baked learning of the language. When I revealed my nationality, then that's the time that she left. Welp. Could have talked to her a little longer and made friends with her to broaden my language.

Noelle is that strong with Gladiator?
I'm using 4 piece Bollai set (the one increase shield strenght)

Shields are the natural counter to that boss. Her, Xianyu, and Zhongli dominate it.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

oooohhh

I'd say Noelle's better off with Gladiator based on my experience. Substats of gladiator are evenly distruibuted with emphasis on defense as opposed to bolide where it focuses on attack.

Fed my perfect glad set to bolide set, and it did not sit well for me as I realized that the stats and substats of bolide are subpar compared to gladiator.

Sure, she's doing more on attacks, but I really miss that consistent 3k damage that she does on whoever she bashes her claymore on.

Even her shield timer and heals became subpar when I put that bolide set on her. As of now, I'm grinding for 4* artifacts that can help me decide which set is better by looking at the substats. So far, gladiator's still the winner for me until I see an artifact that can really take the cake.

As for Ganyu, I'll settle for a hybrid too as Noelle is one with that gladiator set. That Favonius bow did wonders as I do consistent 1-2k damage on LV50 with the full Berserker set. Until I can grind for the cryo artifacts, she'll stay on Berserker.

Although I'm not really good at bowfights, at least she can stay as my main sniper unless I need to light up torches or destroy cryo enemies, in which case, Xiangling with Crescent Pike and Amber with Stringless combo with Zerk sets and character levels at level 50 still wins.

That's not how substats work. At all. Not in the slightest.

[GDB]

Now that I'm back on my computer and not on my phone (and remembered this thread), I want to expand on my prior comment.

Substats are completely RNG and random on a piece by piece basis. It is not dependent on what set the piece is from. The only thing that affects them in any way is whatever the main stat for that particular piece is, as it might remove a potential substat from the list of rollable options.

This is why people farm artifacts. They might get a usable one for the set they want, but it'll have all defense/hp substats. So they keep farming to get a better one with crit rate/crit damage. Then they farm more to get one with BETTER crit rate/crit damage.

Defence rolls are the bane of my existence.

Well, mine's got absurd crit damage, but crit rate's crap. Although that MIGHT be fixed if I got a 5*.

Then again, I want to proc crit rate better than crit damage if I want to use crits.

I wanted to use this 123% crit damage, but of what use is it if crit rate's 12.3%?

And yeah, thanks for correcting me on substats, what I mean is main stats.

And more defense rates means more tanks for Noelle who curbstomped Childe in freaking minutes. Then again, party levels at 70 and Childe at 60 made it all worthwhile.

What helped it more is that my World Level is at 3, meaning that I should challenge this boss at WL3 and NOT WL7.

Good job reminding us, Mihoyo. No wonder many people freaking screamed at the sight of the words "Recommended Party Level:35" or in my case "Recommended Party Level:30" when actually the boss scales in World Level difficulty and not party difficulty.

Main stats are still dependent on the piece, not the set.

Flower - flat HP
Feather - flat Attack
Timepiece/Sands - can be any of Attack %, Defense %, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, or HP %
Goblet - Attack %, Elemental Mastery, Elemental % (individual elements, not as a whole), or Physical %
Helmet - Attack %, Defense %, HP %, Elemental Mastery, Crit Rate, or Crit Damage

Instanced bosses like Childe, Dvalin, and domains don't scale with world level though. World level is for the outside world, like the big Wolf boss or random enemies around the world.

Just started. Didn't realize about the spyware though... is it gone now, or do I have to find it and remove it?

Also, my UID is 621419671 for anyone who wants a few easy boss fights.

Signora is really bitchy, but it was entertaining watching her curbstomp Venti... and then basically get called a hooker, but classier and in rhyme, by him, twice. I mean she attacked us basically because she was throwing a temper tantrum over "YOU DIDN'T LET ME KILL YOUR DEMIGOD, YOU SELFISH FUCKS, HOW DARE YOU!!!"

When do I get to beat her like a drunken jackass's wife? I feel like she's going to earn it several times over with her gratuitously villainous mannerisms.

Yeah they are based on your AR

It's gone now. They fixed that within the first week.

Global, Asia, or Chinese server? Can't cross server friend.

Yeah they are based on your AR

Your world level can grant you access to higher world levels, but things are not directly based off of your AR. Because you can technically choose to not level up your world level (though that means not going past that AR either). But a WL6 AR50 player and a WL7 AR50 player would have different difficulties for the overworld stuff despite being the same AR.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

but to access it you just need AR

[telesbleach]

Got to AR55 today, not that much of a diference.

for domains and bosses i ussually go with a character that's more suitable to face it, but for overworld stuff, i just fuck around farming friendship.

i already have 6 cards (jean, Klee, Fischl, Ning, Zhong and ChiChi) now working on Gannyu, Mona, Beidou and Diona.

in regards to artifacts, i only have luck with feathers, everything else is mid-tier to trash.

Ahh artifact farming in nutshell

Oh. Thank goodness.

Pretty sure I'm on Global.

I don't like increasing my AR. Makes fights harder for a while. I'm strategically trying to gain the necessary mats and AR points to be able to ascend my characters as soon as I finish the AR uncap quest.
