Genshin Impact (PC/PS5/PS4/NSW/iOS) - Open-World Action RPG - 2020

[Obsidian]

Fire boss can kiss my ass today I just 3 more crystals and im only getting a few gold drops at a time. For some reason I havnt even seen any purple reds drop.

World bosses aren't guaranteed to drop 5* artifacts until AR55. I'm AR50, I've seen purple gems drop occasionally though. I need like 3 more boss kills to get Diluc ascended to 80/90.

I assume this is maybe coming with Ganyu's banner or with 1.3. It's already available in China on the PSN store for the equivalent of 5 bucks.

Got my final Fischl constellation, so now I can stop pulling on the Albedo banner. Half tempted to try my luck on the weapon banner for a Stringless since I still don't have one. Think I'll wait and see what the next weapon banner looks like first though.

[xElipsis]

I wouldn't waste your wishes on the weapon/standard banners unless you whale.

[BerenTebogo]

Standard banner is superior to many character banners imo.

The release 5* dont need multiple constellations to be useful, which is a stark contrast to recent and upcoming 5*. More bang for your buck on average for release 5*.

[Lokus]

Standard banner is what you would roll on if you don't really care for the character banner 5* or 4* but have a use for any of the 5* weapons and characters. Granted, it's a big dice roll and I have to wonder if MHY will ever change up the banners to have a better shot at the standard 5*. I still haven't pulled a single Jean, Keqing, or Qiqi but I got 3 Dilucs.

I don’t know what I want to focus on this week...

Leveling Diona
Farming Mora (so I can level talents)
Upgrading Viri set/farming second maiden set
Upgrading Flame Set
Farming Noble Set
Farming Cryo Set

Standard banner will likely not change for quite some time, but basically, if you don't want anything in the character rate up or weapon banner, you have a better chance of seeing it in the Standard banner than anywhere else. That said, if you're not waiting to roll on a banner that has something you want on a rate up, you better be ready to pray to RNGsus or whale, to see it.

@Kaslo - Farm for whoever you like playing most, and secondary, a second team to start tackling abyss; there's really no better way to play the game since almost every character is good at doing something important.

I basically have that, except wanting to bring Diona into the rotation for Shields/Heals

I’m also wanting to start working on a freeze team for when Ayaka comes out. But that’s 9 weeks away so I don’t want to focus too much into it

My Diona C6 has pretty good shields, and when HP focused, does some 5.6K heal/tic for me (Max L80 ascension talents), with a Gold Heal% accessory and Maiden 4 piece set. I didn't roll much into HP, so they could be better, but she's not doing any damage that way, and you're also going to want a decent amount of Energy Recharge because it does take a while for her Q to fill back up. Wrecks electro mage shields regardless, much like how Barbara wrecks fire shields. Also, we'll find out eventually, but if Ayaka doesn't change, and needs to doge for her ice imbued element, and keeps Mona's i-frame dodge issues, it's likely she's going to be more frustrating, than fun, to play; I'll be deeply pissed if that's the case because I want to roll for her.

I've currently got every character in the game except Klee and Albedo, as well as Fischl, Razor and Chonyung at C6 (several other 4*s at C2-4. I think the only 4* I have that isn't at least C1 is Amber), so I'm approaching the point where it feels like new characters are going to be a bit wasted because I can't possibly level them all right now without spending tons on resin (which I haven't done and likely won't). Summoning on the character banner almost exclusively will leave you kind of weapon-starved depending on your luck with the 4* pity breaks. I haven't quite decided if I've hit that point yet, but at some point I'll be shifting my focus to a good weapon banner temporarily to fill out my inventory. I still haven't gotten a single Stringless, for example.

Upgrading sets would be the last thing on my list to do, only because getting an actual Artifact upgrade is completely up to chance, and incremental upgrades to your existing sets are a lot less impactful than getting another character a workable set.

My Diona C6 has pretty good shields, and when HP focused, does some 5.6K heal/tic for me (Max L80 ascension talents), with a Gold Heal% accessory and Maiden 4 piece set.

I've had Mona since I started, and while I agree her dodge/dash is a bit clunky in combat and it took some getting used to, I really don't think it's as bad as most people make it out to be. It does have i-frames (not where you'd expect them to be), you just have to get out of the habit of dodging backwards.

[Kaslo]

Also, Ayaka will be more focused on having frozen opponents, so quick dodges to refresh Cryo it's particularly dangerous

[Kaslo]

So I get the feeling we will be getting a new zone (or subarea) in 1.3. Nothing on the map now seems like a good spot for the new World Boss that we need to farm for Xiao/Hu Tao ascensions, but the Chasm looks like it could.

Pretty sure Inazuma is getting added in 1.3, but I could be wrong.

[Kaslo]

I believe that is 1.4

[Lokus]

Based on leaks, grain of salt etc. Inazuma is pushed back to 1.6.

[Drai]

They haven’t even beta tested Inazuma yet so it’s not coming for while. I’d expect the housing and whatnot before that.

[Obsidian]

Catalyst and Polearm prototypes from Andrius and Stormterror this week, first time I've gotten any prototypes in a while. Think I only need one more to R5 the Crescent Pike. I delayed hitting world level 7 until I was AR51, but it really doesn't feel much harder. The red enemy levels just look intimidating.

[Kaslo]

Trying to remember, does Abyss reset today?
