Genshin Impact - Capitano Waiting Room

[Obsidian]

Lunar Crystalize only triggers between Hydro and Geo, so if Ineffa is wiping out your Hydro aura (or giving you a regular Electro crystalize) you'll be losing the procs, is what I meant. It takes 3 Lunar Crystalizes to make the turrets do their attack and that's where most of the reaction damage comes from. If you're using Linnea and Columbina together you're better off just using Geo and Hydro teammates and using Ineffa on another team.

[Kachiko]

Couldn't find her hydro application vs Ineffa, but I see the Lunar Crystalize reaction happening all the time and some electro. I don't have Linnea built up just yet but I'll see how it goes replacing Xiolen with her in that Navia team.

[Tomiko]

I did very brief testing prior to my post with Ineffa in the team in Millastria, and it did show Lunar Crystallize proccing, but Lunar charged was getting the most procs. I wasn't aware of needing 3 Lunar Crystallize procs to trigger the turrets, so that and being able to save Ineffa for another team (when needed) makes the decision easier.

Just finished up exploration of the new areas, gotta say that was a pretty trippy ride and the exploration felt pretty decent this time around. The flight mechanic was helpful enough where I didn't feel like I was perpetually at the base of a cliff. And of course a random Monty Python moment because why not. lol

[Kachiko]

Couldn't do Fearless this cycle do to that damn horse. Of course, the next tier down is absurdly easier.....

[Obsidian]

If you have Ayaka and a good Pyro DPS, you can cheese it by using Ayaka's burst to quickly fill its gauge and make it infused with Cryo, then go to town with your Pyro DPS. Dragonstrike/Plunge Diluc in that setup is pretty funny but it works with Mavuika and Arleccino as well. Probably Yoimiya too honestly.

[Kachiko]

I used Fischle with Arlle, Yellan, and Xinq. Didn't dent it even though the shield breaks with just fischle skill+ autos alone. Same team on the lower tier was the fastest of the three in the lower bracket, so, go fig.

[Yuri-G]

today is my constellation day. what u guys think - shenhe c2 or hu tao c1? my mind says shenhe c2 but my heart says hu tao c1

edit: nevermind, I did hu tao. shenhe c2 would be more of an overall improvement but a) why do my cryo teams need to be even stronger? (they don't) and b) hu tao c1 is just way more fun

[Obsidian]

I was gonna say Hu Tao C1 unless you were intentionally working toward Shenhe C6, haha.

The Sneznaya teaser was pretty neat, liking the aesthetic (and the music was great). Unfortunately looks like Lohen isn't actually going to be Standard so I'm gonna have to skip him. I'm already waffling on whether or not to go for Nicole or try for Lauma C2 (C1 at the moment), I definitely can't afford to also try for Durin and Lohen really wants both of them.

[Kachiko]

I'm just in saving mode again. Maybe one day I'll grab Nefer, as I do like her design and VA, but I will never use her teams; just too clunky. Nicole seems like a pass as well atm since I'm not doing Varka or Durin, and there's no Alice yet, maybe not even in Sneznaya, so it's probably going to be Sandrone.

[Obsidian]

Good luck Nicole wanters!

I waffled for a while on whether to go for Lauma C2 or just wait, ended up waiting and got my first ever Capturing Radiance and got Nicole. Also won her weapon outright at 50ish pulls, so that was nice. I will probably just save for 7.0 now unless Sandrone just absolutely blows me away. If I had lost to Durin's weapon I would have considered going for him, but since I won Nicole's, I'm just gonna build her slowly while I figure out where I want to use her haha.

[Kachiko]

Probably a pass for me for now. I suppose I could replace Mauvika in Varessa's overload team but..eh. Sandrone just around the corner and her skills were relased with comments of she's like Ineffa+ for her reaction. Also, Yae, Quiqi, Wirth, Beido, and Mizuki and will work with the new reaction, so it won't be limited to 5* onry.

[Yuri-G]

I love Nicole and picked her up, but had to spend a little to get there - so no chance to grab Durin or her weapon, sadly. That's fine, I was insanely lucky with Zibai so I'll take what RNG gives me.

also, was gonna skip Sandrone but apparently she will give my beloved Yae Miko (favorite character, C5 and planning to C6 her) a mega buff so... hmmmmmmm

It does look like Stella Superconduct (And whatever other Stella reactions are coming) are still going to be 5* locked. None of the buffed characters can actually activate the Stella Realm, only Sandrone can (and assumedly any future 7.X 5*s). So any team that wants to use most of the buffed characters is still going to need Sandrone. They can do the Stella Superconduct damage but they need Sandrone to enable it for them.

[Yuri-G]

yae miko update: there will be a chronicled banner next patch! my first C6 limited finally incoming.

also, Qiqi will be on a limited banner for the first time ever. so... that's something

[Obsidian]

Kinda on a whim I threw a few 10 pulls at Durin's banner tonight before it goes away, because I don't think I'm that interested in Sandrone at the moment. I ended up getting Durin, lol. No idea what I'll do with him because no Varka and probably no Lohen. I guess he and Nicole make a nice Overload core for my Varesa/Clorinde.

Maybe I'll bring back my funny main DPS Mona vape team for some laughs.

[Tomiko]

Edit: Video got reuploaded.

[Yuri-G]

5.0 is supposed to have a cryo stellar superconduct support. yeah it's a leak but... that's *exactly* how hoyo would normally do things. get everyone to spend on Sandrone, then release the real stellar units down the line. think I'll skip Sandrone and save for Sznahenanya (sp)

grats! sandrone is feeling super skippable indeed. durin is pretty neat with Nicole, did you get her?

[Obsidian]

I do have Nicole yeah.

I kinda regret pulling either of them honestly, I am not invested in the Hexerei teams at all haha. Oh well, Nicole's exploration passive compass thing is kinda handy. I'm sure I'll find a use for her and Durin eventually.

[Ayn]

I wasn't sure about Durin initially. Have him c1 and weapon but I'm liking him now for Varka team. Skipped Nicole because I just wasn't feeling it. Yeah I know she'd be great for my Varka Durin Venti team, but eh, Benny's part of this expedition team.
