#5% crit rate with like 90% crit dmg...

[what-aboutno]

Love playing games and just being terrible at them

[gold-rhine]

looking at ppls builds in imaginarium and going insane. only 2 artifacts out of 5 on a character, but they are lvl 20. kazuha on crit build but not vv. DPS on full sets, but with like 80% crit rate and 90% crit dmg. besties what are u doing

[raaindropps]

Now a very biased marketing of Aventurine ... (2/2) because I just gotta , sorry

AVENTURINE

pros : As a shielder , he can block incoming damage and help the team survive by not losing any HP in the first place. Preservation characters are so few imo because of how inherently OP their sustain mechanic is. Similarly to Fu Xuan, Aventurine doesn't need to use skill that much either, only when his shields' turn are almost up or when an ally has lost their shield. Because his shield Can Stack, it means that u can essentially keep gaining an even bigger shield everytime you skill or Aventurine does a follow up attack. He also provides effect res up to 50% for ALL ALLIES which decreases the chances of getting crowd controlled or debuffed with DoTs (which from my experience are super annoying, especially wind shear). Like I mentioned before Aventurine does a follow up attack every time his stacks reach 7 , which he can gain stacks from allies FuA and from all allies getting hit by the enemy (allies getting hit grants 1 stack while he himself getting hiy gets 2 stacks) (This follow up can also stack his shield up after unlocking a trace)

In addition to effect res, he also has in built CC protection like Fu Xuan does (except it only applies to him) and this isnt a Chance to resist like Luocha but a 100% will not get crowd controlled every two turns as long as he has his shield up.

Lastly, his ulti can debuff the enemy with 15% crit dmg received which buffs the team because now the enemy takes more crit damage damage ^u^

cons : no cleanse like Luocha, so if u do get debuffed u just gotta wait it out. Again though 50% effect res although won't prevent debuffs completely, it does reduce the chance to get debuffed so u don't need any cleanse in the first place. His other con is that he doesnt heal / restore lost HP like Fu xuan does but considering how his shields can stack and basically have infinite uptime its pretty dang okay and hes definitely worth it as a sustain. wait this js supposed to be cons. um.

his other con is that although he gets free crit rate u dont actually do high damage on him unless u build him to do high damage but like hes mostly a sustain so just build as much def% as possible so his shields r Beefy. Idk if its a Con Con per say but his technique to get the highest out of it is quite a gamble and his ult is only single target instead of Luochas aoe attack ult BUT it will usually do higher damage than Luochas while also debuffing the enemy and can reduce more tougness than luocha (90 instead of 60)

OVERALL : great solo sustain option, In my opinion more valuable than Luocha but then again the next limited 5* sustain tht comes out could definitely overtake him. In terms of Utility (aka buffs provided for allies to increase their damage output) as well as Great Sustainability id say hes on par with Fu Xuan, then Huohuo is slightly less powerful but still Very Great because energy regen and atk% is crazy and her cleanse is also OP, then lastly Luocha. Also I think his animations are fun and his sound effects especially his finger snaps sound so crisp and satisfying. I recommend going for Aventurine if you use follow up attackers like Clara, Jing Yuan, Topaz, Ratio, Yanqing and also characters who could be very squishy like Arlan who does better damage at Low HP. Aventurine can also work for damage over time teams if you use the light cone that lets him apply burn on enemies aka the Trend of Universal Market cone with Topaz and his face on it. Also if you're going for Acheron, Aventurine is probably her best sustain option atm because of how he can contribute her Ult stacks with his Ult debuff and help her damage output too although its already crazy asf.

YEAH thts it mwah mwah sorry for this long ass ask but i am going to be this guys marketer for a while i think

OHHHHH U MAY HAVE CONVINCED ME ... the lack of cleanse might b annoying but I rlly enjoy shield characters.... The lack of healing may be okay if I use his shields well and that fact that they dont gotta be replaced every turn is helpful.

Do u know if his shields go to the entire team or just one selected character? I gotta assume its the whole team but sometimes hyv suprises u

Luochas AOE seems rlly helpful but the question is if Aventurine's shields outweigh his lack of aoe.. Not to mention u said the ult usually does more damage than Luocha's which does help. It would rlly depend on who im facing, but I feel like even in boss fights a weaker aoe outranks a stronger singke target. Much to think about....

Weapons (Swords)

sigh

Wanna know the worst part about being broke? You can’t get the most aesthetically pleasing weapons.

Included in this list is all of the 3-star and 4-star swords in Genshin Impact (because 5-star weapons are for people with money) except for weapons obtained via Gnostic Hymn/Battle Pass or purchased with Starglitter.

Weapons in which the blueprints are obtained (or are simply obtained as-is) via World Quests (ex. the Aranara quest line), obtained via forging only, and event weapons will be in italics. All other weapons are either obtained via wishing or overworld activities such as opening chests. 

I will clarify which weapons are blueprints, obtained from quests, and which are event weapons. If they are available, I will also link guides to said quests.

Percentage and Flat stats apply to these to. (if you didn’t read the artifact stat guide, Flat always adds a set amount, Percentage adds a portion of a preexisting stat)

Also these stats are lvl90 and the abilities are R1

Sagau Brainrot

So, I was thinking (ik, hard to believe) about the imposter!au. And like, maybe reader knows a lot about military tactics, how to make bombs, basically knows how to make a bunch of deadly weapons (they only learned all that out of sheer boredom). So can we just picture reader sitting back on a lounge chair drinking something fancy or some shit while, let’s say the kof, running straight towards them and then BOOM a bunch of knights get turned into someone’s Instagram bio bc they stepped on a land mine. And like, say the creator was in Liyue and was up at like a high mountain point after being pursued by the milileth and as soon as the get the high ground they just start chucking Molotov cocktails. I saw someone else saying sumn about reader teaching Klee how to make a bazooka, so I like to think reader bribed Klee with the promise of going fish blasting and unlimited bombs. As the real creator say after reader (kidnap) bribes her to their side they just max her out. Like I’m talking five star catalyst refinement 5, lvl 90, talents maxed out, and the best artifacts with a high crit rate and dmg. One thing I am like constantly thinking about now is just reader being fucking chased by raiden shogun and when the bitch least expects it she gets her shit rocked by some 9 year old with a rocket launcher. Guess she really wanted to see Makoto again.

[amakumos]

enhypen playing genshin ― ot7.

genre: crack maybe?? these r just headcanons lol authors note: because i love genshin and enha... i made this. feel free to tell me ur opinions as well!! also tell me who u main and what ar u are.. im a kazuha main n im ar56😈

actually i can see him maining diluc as well tbh

fucking oneshots everything?? 

he’s basically tony to. big dmg numbers, god tier artifacts, and.. he probably is a huge whale. think ... tuonto whaling for c6 ei vibes. except he does that with every banner

probably the guy everyone goes to for advice on how to make their builds better. he’d also tell u to just watch while he completely obliterates everything in the artifact domains for u 

hes that one guy who uses primogems to swap to resin and has like 100 fragile resin 

probably successfully soloed azhdaha with his dps.

he’s probably.. ar60..... 

JAY.

i can see him being a light spender, only buying genesis crystals when he rlly wants a character.

probably a xiao main (he definitely mains one of the liyue big 3) 

probably has primordial jade winged spear... 

artifact luck is mediocre but his gacha luck?? fucking insane 

probably got his favourite character at 9 pity (give me ur luck i am TIRED of getting characters at soft pity)

has never lost a 50/50 because he is mhy’s favourite

does big dmg numbers but absolutely despises abyss, he will not do it even if he gets primogems

speedruns new areas bc he likes exploring the map 

probably ar55 

JAKE.

do i even need to explain?? this man mains CHILDE.

u know how childe never crits even with like 50% crit rate?? that’s why jake gave him 90% crit rate. 

his childe’s crit ratio probably makes everyone jealous. its like 90% to 125% smth. 

LOVES CO-OP!! he does all his domains in co-op bc he probably likes making new friends (jake if u play genshin pls co op w me)

probably bangs on his keyboard when he gets a shit artifact

knows every word to the tar tar taglia song. (tartartaglia lover of snezhnayan queen)

probably didnt find out about talents until ar35

currently ar45 with like 100k exp over the amount but hes not bothered to do the ascension quest

SUNGHOON.

100% mains a cryo character, probably ayaka

doesn’t play often but when he does he literally plays for hours

probably follows leakers bc he’s saving his primogems for someone he rlly rlly wants

i think. his favourite harbinger is scaramouche 

never plays in co-op. unless its with the other members

has never needed to go back to the blizzard strayer domain due to the amount of times he’s done it to get artifacts for his main

his only properly built characters r his two dps for abyss. his supports r all like lv70 with half leveled artifacts 

but somehow can do abyss up to floor 12??? even with his half built supports?? but he did floor 12 once and he got so stressed he rage quit the game

probably ar50

SUNOO.

MAINS THE CHARACTERS THAT MANY PEOPLE DIDN’T PULL FOR. like kokomi and yoimiya 

loves playing co-op and being the healer. not just bc he thinks its helpful for the others but he likes to think abt how his teammate’s health is in his hands... so if ur rude to him .... he’s not healing u 😁

loves collecting namecards and changing his profile bc he thinks its cute

TEAPOT DECORATOR. his teapot is so beautiful like - you’d probably think he’s an interior designer

does decent dmg, the only reason why he isn’t doing super super super big numbers is bc of his artifact luck T_T (sunoo i will give u all my good artifact pieces.. even if i only have 2) 

doesn’t like killing slimes bc theyre too cute. thats why he buys slime condensate from paimons bargains

has made kokomi crit before. he is the number 1 kokomi enthusiast.

probably around ar50 as well 

JUNGWON.

to be honest i think he’d be a yanfei main!! but if we’re talking abt 5 stars, then he’s a kazuha main!

loves exploring the map and gets excited when opening luxurious chests T_T (hes so CUTE)

INVESTED IN THE LORE. probably thinks of theories abt whats happening w celestia and everything 

if you’d ask him to help u a quest with smth he would Not hesitate because he’s done all of them. 

more invested in the lore and playing the game than the gacha aspect of it, probably has like 24k primogems

f2p. he’s not those like “f2p btw😆😆😆👍” people, he’s just never thought about spending money on it bc. he doesn’t want to

doesnt even try making his builds good but does 100k+ dmg. hes just that lucky w artifacts?? he probably googles “best builds for __” and then farms the set. and then. boom. big dmg 

ar48 probably. that was specific 

NI-KI

HU TAO MAIN. he has staff of homa and everything and got her to c1 

burns grass when playing with others in co-op to decrease their health. 

loses every single 50/50 to diluc. thats why he has c4 diluc im sorry riki 

yells out loud whenever he dies 

wants qiqi solely for the purpose of putting her and hu tao on the same team. but he has never gotten her (probably jealous of tuonto and his c16 qiqi) 

never saves reckless pallad (but tbh does anyone) 

likes using jean to throw other people who hes co oping with off high mountains. 

he’s like heeseung - oneshots everything. highest dmg is around one million smth. the both of them probably compete to see who can get the highest dmg w the same character 

LOVES INAZUMA DO I NEED TO SAY MORE :(( his exploration there is 100% and he has mastered all the inazuma recipes

F2P Yanfei Build Tips

I mentioned in a previous post that I really think pulling on the upcoming Zhongli banner is a great idea for newer players and especially f2p players that have been saving their primos/are nearing pity. This is in large part because the new character Yanfei is looking like a very good character to add to your roster if you lack a main carry or Pyro DPS character.

Pyro is by no means required in this game, but Mihoyo definitely favors it over the other elements. It has access to the two best reactions in the game, melt and vaporise, and can be used with electro for overload to break shields with ease. Dendro when Mihoyo?

Yanfei seems like a f2p player’s dream character, she’s basically a budget Klee. Plus, she’s adorable and has a unique back story akin to Ganyu’s! Unless you just don’t like her design for whatever reason, I highly recommend trying your luck to get her!

Here is a little f2p friendly guide to help you build her should you pull her ! :)

Talents and Ascension

Prioritize Yanfei’s normal attacks when building her talents. Most of her damage will come from Charged Attacks, so her damage will scale better by leveling up her autos first.

Her burst should be second priority since it has a higher damage multiplier. Her skill can be saved for last.

She will require a boss drop from Azhdaha, Bloodjade Branch. Azhdaha is the new weekly boss being introduced in 1.5. Be sure to challenge him once a week!

Other items you will need to ascend her as a character are Agnius Agate, Primordial Jade, Noctilucous Jade, and Treasure Hoarder Insignias!

Weapon

If Yanfei is as much like Klee as she sounds, then the Widsith will likely be her BiS 4 star weapon. Obviously, if you have a 5 star catalyst then use that! If you don’t have either of these, don’t fret! The Mappa Mare is a craftable weapon and is a great choice!

Mappa Mare scales with Elemental Mastery, which is fantastic for a character that relies on reactions to do damage. It’s passive is also useful, granting a 10% elemental damage bonus when an elemental reaction is triggered. This effect can stack twice and scales higher with refinement.

Other great weapons if you have them on hand are the Blackcliff Agate and Solar Pearl. These weapons are great because they provide additional crit dmg and crit rate respectively. Blackcliff can be purchased in the shop with star glitter while the Solar Pearl is a BP exclusive weapon.

Artifacts

*If you are not AR45+* I do not recommend wasting your resin on artifacts. Wait until you’re world level 7 and challenge Lv 90 domains to get guaranteed 5 star artifact drops.*

I’ll also use Klee again for inspiration here. The ideal artifact set for Yanfei would likely be Wanderers Troupe 4pc set. WT is very hard to farm though so Crimson Witch or Lava Walker sets would be good alternatives. In terms of priority I’d say it’s WT > WT/CW > CW > LW but it really just depends on the quality of the artifacts.

For main stats your timepiece should be Atk% unless you have very low Elemental Mastery. If you’re using Mappa Mare and have at least a 2pc Wanderers Troupe set then I’d go with Atk% as a main stat. I’d also use Atk% if you plan on pairing her with Sucrose, since she provides free EM to her teammates. If you are not using Mappa Mare or you don’t have good rolls for EM on your artifacts than shoot for EM as the main stat. So, Atk > EM unless your EM is <100ish.

The cup should 100% be Pyro Dmg Bonus. If you don’t have a single Pyro cup you can run atk% until you do get a Pyro cup.

The circlet should be Crit rate or Crit Dmg, depending which one gets you closer to the ideal 1:2 crit ratio. If your crit rate is <50% I’d say go with Crit Rate over Crit Dmg for more consistency. If you have >50% crit rate then prioritize Crit Dmg.

Sub stats should be prioritized as: Crit rate = Crit Dmg > atk% > elemental mastery > energy recharge > flat Atk and pray you don’t get too many Def or HP rolls.

Team Comp

Yanfei will preform best in a quick swap reaction based team. She will have the best synergy with Hydro, Cryo, Anemo and other Pyro characters. And wouldn’t you know it? Diona will be given away for free in 1.5!

Diona is a fantastic support character, and especially to Yanfei for several reasons:

Cryo application for Melt procs. Diona can apply Cryo with her skill as well as her Burst.

Diona has one of the better shields in the game. As a charged attacker, Yanfei will benefit from the interruption resistance that a shield provides. Diona’s shield scales with HP, so it’s relatively easy to build. It also provides a movement speed increase which is pretty cool and can cleanse other elements off of you to remove unwanted debuffs.

Her burst heals while dealing Cryo damage. This synergizes great with Yanfei. If you happen to have her at max constellation, Diona provides a hefty elemental mastery buff to her teammates inside the AoE of her burst too!

Diona can make use of multiple artifact sets. The new Millieth set looks fantastic for her on paper. She can also utilize the 4pc Maiden Beloved set or pair it with Scholar/Exile. If you lack a Energy Recharge weapon such as Sacrificial Bow or Favonius Warbow, then a simple 2pc Scholar/2pc Exile will work exceptionally well on her. Stack HP% on her timepiece, cup, and circlet to get the most out of her healing and shield.

There are several other characters you could pair with Yanfei and Diona to get a solid team comp. It ultimately comes down to which characters you have in your roster, but for the sake of this build we’ll rely on free characters that everyone has access to.

For the third slot of this team comp, an Anemo character that can utilize Viridescent Venerer artifact set would be great for shredding Pyro resistance for Yanfei. Don’t have Venti, Sucrose, or Jean? Don’t worry, Anemo MC works great as a VV support thanks to their ability to reliably swirl! They also have a fair amount of crowd control and can reach c6 very easily.

For the last slot in this specific team I recommend Bennett if you have him, but if you don’t have him, Xiangling works great! Either way we will be using this slot as a burst support/nuke. I choose these two characters because they are Pyro, which gives the team Pyro resonance, increasing party Atk by 25%! I also chose them because they can both utilize 4pc Noblesse Oblige artifact set. The idea is to use their burst to increase the overall damage of the team. Again, Bennett is perfect for this role but I’ll focus on Xiangling since she’s free to everyone.

Yanfei + Diona + Traveler + Xiangling is a team that will use quick swap play style. Quickswap is a form of play that relies on swapping characters in and out more frequently for higher combined damage, as opposed to Sustained play style where one character is dealing most of the damage. This team can be used in a 4 step rotation:

1.) Start with Xiangling and use her skill or burst to apply Pyro to enemies/activate the NO boost.

2.) Once Pyro is applied, swap to the Traveler and use their skill to swirl Pyro against enemies. This will activate VV 4pc boost, which shreds swirled enemy’s resistance to Pyro by 60%

3.) Swap to Diona and apply Cryo with her skill or Ult.

4.) Finally, Swap Yanfei in and use her charged attacks/burst to proc melts and do big pp damage.

Other 4 ⭐️ characters that can be used with Yanfei include Bennett, Barbara, Chongyun, Sucrose, Xingqiu, Xinyan, Rosaria, and Kaeya. Shoot for Pyro resonance for that sweet Atk buff. Hydro or Cryo for vape and melt procs (Xingqiu is fantastic for this if you have him) and a VV user for resistance shredding (unless you have Zhongli as his shield will shred resistance for you!)

Yanfei can also be used with Electro characters like Fischl for niche shield breaking. Keep in mind that Overload does push enemies back and often requires you to sprint to keep up with them. Charged attackers like Yanfei do not like to sprint too much.

Geo resonance is also a solid choice for her if you have Zhongli, Albedo, or both. If you lack these 5 ⭐️ characters I’d use her in the standard Pyro + Anemo + Hydro/Cryo comp because she doesn’t really have the greatest synergy with other geo characters.

TLDR:

Yanfei is a Pyro DPS character very similar to Klee. She can make use of the 4⭐️ craftable weapon, Mappa Mare; use Wanderer’s Troupe, Crimson Witch or Lavawalker artifact sets with Atk/EM timepiece, Pyro Bonus goblet, and Crit circlet. She ascends with Noctilucous Jade and Primordial Jade, and her talents level up with Bloodjade Branch from new weekly boss Azhdaha. She pairs well with quick swap teams that focus on vaporise and melt elemental reactions!

I hope some people find this helpful! Again, I think Yanfei has really good potential and would make a great addition to your team if you’re looking for another main carry. If you’re new or f2p she’s a great alternative to characters like Diluc and Klee for both overworld and Abyss. Zhongli is also a very good character to have so you really can’t go wrong pulling on this rate up.

So i run kaeya with cg right? Do i look for higher atk stat or upping my cdmg as much as i can? I only do about 5-7k nas and 11k e's when they crit TT

oh sorry i didn't notice this ask, i'm answering so late

first of all, "running kaeya with cg" is not enough info, what kind of team are you running. there are like dif teams for dif purposes

1. kaeya freeze is good for sustain dps, overworld content with groups of freezable enemies. i personally like farming mats with that team. kaeya - cg - hydro - anemo on VV. apply cryo, swirl cryo with anemo to get VV shred and also group enemies, hydro, cg E, kaeya burst, auto attack. the goal is not do 100K on single auto attack, which like. You won't. My ayaka on mistsplitter does like 9-10k on na. The goal is to have sustain dps, with kaeya burst and auto attacks being damage. this generally shreds freezable grouped enemies in seconds. Esp if you have kazuha who can group and add buffs, my kaeya's e does like 14 on crit unbuffed and ~30k buffed. also, this team doesn't need you to build both kaeya and cg for damage, it only needs one character on field. its generally kaeya bc cg is claymore and shatters freeze. like idk how shatter centered teams are supposed to work, google if you want, but then kaeya probs should be off-field. the point is that you only need one of them on blizzard set built for damage and be the one auto-attacking. my cg is literally lvl 60 on noblesse with sac greatsword. for the stats, since its freeze and you should be on blizzard, you can have super low crit rate, esp if you have kaeya C1 that gives +15% free crit rate against cryo-ed enemies. So generally 20-30% crit rate from substats is gonna guarantee actual like 90-100% crit rate with cryo res and blizzard buffs, which gives you space to build BOTH crit dmg and attack. like the more you have of both the better. Generally good freeze build should have like at least 2k attack and 200%+ crit dmg

2. against the unfreezable enemies like bosses or in content that requires a lot of DPS, melt is actually a popular meta team that can 9 star abyss. it literally carried my dehya asdfgh. anyway, its cryo-cryo-pyro-pyro, usual variation is kaeya-rosaria-bennet-xiangling, but you probs can play cg instead of rosa? idk haven't tried, but don't see why not. i use ganyu burst instead for second cryo and sometimes kazuha, but need to be careful that the burst infuses with right element. for melt you don't want 4piece blizzard, bc enemies won't be frozen obviously, and you want EM as well as attack, and higher crit rate. 4 piece gilded dreams can be good, or 2 piece blizzard 2 piece EM set, like gilded or wanderer. Everyone should have AT LEAST 100 EM.

3. hyperbloom + cryo. you just take a hyperbloom team and use kaeya as on-fielder. this team is unironically so good against enemies that can be frozen, like i absolutely refuse to fight the consecrated beasts with anything else. this abyss i just played kaeya hyperbloom on one side and ganyu hyperbloom on the other on first chamber bc FUCK them shits. hyperbloom is broken and easy to build, and freeze adds so much comfort on top of that.

tldr kaeya freeze is a comfy brainded team for groups of enemies, like overworld exploration and farming, its purpose is not do nuke numbers on a single attack, but sustain dps against helpess frozen enemies. kaeya melt is high dps team that can do big nuke numbers and is good on bosses and abyss.

BLUEEEE!! i'm pulling for ayaka and i'm at 61 pity with 50/50 (got kokomi at 69 with 50/50 too last time) AND i am... scared, holding onto my gacha luck like a lifeline, crying. let's all share our luck in a praying circle, good luck on your pulls too! ayaka's so pretty and i love her playstyle so much — my lvl 90 amenoma kageuchi and ganyu's artifacts are waiting for you, ms. kamisato 🤧

how is your experience with ayaka, btw? i know you're an ayaka main, so do you have any words/tips to say to future ayaka havers??? >:D

YES AYAKA MAIN HERE !?!?! HELLO?!??

GOODLUCK ON PULLING !! YOU’LL GET HER TRUST ME TRUST YOURSELF TRUST AYAKA !!!

tbh not the best quick vid out there bc all my other vids are already uploaded somewhere and archived BUT LOOK AT HOW SHE SHREDS THE SHIELD THERE !!! so yes you are on the right track if you’re trying to pull for her, she’s extremely helpful in abyss !!

now that i think about it i have not said any tips about ayaka yet so let me do it here instead :)))

1. Use her dash. Istg when you main ayaka you’ll probably use her dash most often than not because that’s how you’ll not get hit if you don’t have shield and whatnot

2. Use DIONA. Istg if you’re not using ayaka with diona wthell have you been doing (affectionately) haha anyway. Maybe it’s just personal preference but i always have diona with ayaka since double cryo would receive additional crit rate bonus so you go get that. Tbh you could also use Rosaria btw, esp if you don’t have shenhe (like i do!) (not the best vid out there but it’s just a sample. plus my rosaria’s not that properly built btw so she could be stronger than that) btw MORANA team is the best istg (as someone with no ganyu skskksks i named it with them instead okay)

3. In building a team for her you have to have another cryo member (which i established at the prev point), crowd control, and a hydro character. Freeze comp is naturally the best for ayaka, plus you would have better gameplay if you have crowd control (sucrose is good as well, tbh anyone between sucrose, kazu, and venti would be great). And adding on to that, Ayaka is actually the easiest character who could apply cryo as we don’t have a cryo catalyst yet, just use her dash.

4. High crit damage. Anemona kageuchi is a good sword, probably the next best to the crit swords out there (it’s the one i used before I had Jade Cutter). And the aesthetic fits too! But you have to make sure you’ll focus a lot on Crit DMG than Crit Rate since there will be other ways to get additional Crit rate (which are double cryo in team, bliz arti set, and rosaria). That’s why try to get a lot of Crit DMG as much as you can~

5. She’s quite easy to build so the artifacts you’ll just have to look for are Blizzard, Noblesse, Wanderer’s and Glad/Shim. Two pc or a full set, just base them on how many you already have. However, your focused Talents does depend on your artifacts. Of course, you should focus on your burst if you have noblesse, but you can also just level all her talents all at the same time. That’s what I did hahah. If you have lower ER, do not have a battery, and not using Noblesse I suggest leveling the skill first as it does make a lot of damage.

so far that’s all i could think of rn but if i have additional, i’ll just reblog this one,, anw goodluck to future ayaka havers and mains <3333 so much love and luck to u all

Genshin Impact Ask Game - Answered!

1. How long have you been playing?

Right around launch, like, I think a couple days after?  I've definitely taken a few breaks though. (Most of which I regret because- please rerun your damn events MHY.)

2. Why did you start playing?

K-Kaeya... Several months earlier my nephew told me about it and we were checking out the website and I went big ol' heart eyes and whoo my interest was piqued.

3. What is your AR?

I just hit 57 recently.

4. Who is your best character (build wise)?

Oof that's hard, because I am Not Smart when it comes to building. Zhongli and Kokomi are decently solid, so is Yae, but Xiao (newest) really got lucky with artifacts so I feel like he's got the most "concise", ‘doesn’t need a lot more tweaking’, build so far?

5. Who is your worst character (build wise)?

Zhongli also exists here. His crit rate to dmg ratio is awful. But otherwise, so many 4*’s that are just straight up neglected. Pretty much all of them except Alloy and Yun Jin are fully uncapped though. We'll go with Alloy.

6. Who is your highest leveled character?

Uhh... Zhongli, Albedo, Kokomi, Tartaglia, Xiao, Kazuha, Yae Miko, Yoimiya, Traveler, and Qiqi are all 90.

7. What character do you main?

Maining a single character is such a foreign concept to me. Probably? I imagine? because I don't really do a whole lot of coop beyond just playing with my bff and we're always rotating our teams around however we please/need. But the above listed characters are most likely to get picked + Ayato (who I'm working on and is at 80 rn).

8. What is your main team?

Same as above, it changes a lot. Zhongli, Kazuha, Albedo, and Kokomi is 'one' of my main teams, but right now I'm playing around with Xiao, Ayato, Yae Miko, and Qiqi - or I swap around any of those eight however I need.

9. What are your spiral abyss teams?

People actually do that? /j (I don’t do that /nj)

10. Who is your favorite character?

Impossible! Gosh so many... Zhongli, Albedo, Xiao, Kaeya, Yae Miko, Kokomi, Lumine are up there, and Kazuha is like... the definition of a 'comfort character' to me, he's just so soothing. If I'm idling around, it's him, or Albedo out on screen. That said, Zhongli's aesthetics, his looks, everything about him is just so charming... 😩 Yeah, him, Kazu, Xiao and Albedo are definitely at the top. (For not playable characters though, I love Dain! And I have a stupid amount of love for Xavier and Enjou.)

11. Who is your least favorite character?

Hm... From [current] playable characters, I really can't say. There are some I find a little annoying here or there, but it's usually something small like, I don't like their voice acting (RazorRazorRazorRazor). I can't stand Alice though. A lot of the concepts around her and snippets we’ve got so far bother me, but I'll try reserving judgment until she's actually in game.

12. What's your favorite part of the gameplay?

Exploration and everything that comes with it! Puzzles, treasure, staring off into the distance and going "gosh I can see [landmark from another country] from here!" Zigzagging between 'ooh what's that!' and 'ooh treasure!' and 'ooh challenge!' is so much fun exploring new areas. I also do enjoy like, 'new mechanics' that come with new areas...

13. What's your least favorite part of the gameplay?

But also 'new mechanics' that come with new areas. Even if I pretty much always get used to it and have fun, sometimes it's just A Lot. Also, Spiral Abyss can go die in a fire. Sick of so many cool events that could be added as extra permanent game modes being temporary.

14. What is your favorite cutscene?

They're all so good???? Right now the most recent one [2.7 with Xiao] lives rent free in my brain. But the post-Osial Liyue cutscene had me in such awe it’s unforgettable. Also that time Raiden Shogun almost cut Traveler's head off and Kazuha activated a second vision to save us? AUGH SO GOOD SO GOOD.

15. Who is a character you don't have but want?

EULA. I just realized now with Xiao she's the only character I REALLY want but don't have now. (I'd like Venti and Raiden but not as much as I NEED Miss Eula.)

16. Have you ever won a 50/50?

; ; yes! For a long time, the only 50/50 I won was Zhongli on his original banner and every time I lost after that I was just like "welp, I won ZHONGLI on 50/50 so I can't be too dissatisfied" (spoiler: i was, i worked my ass off for so many of these bitches 😩). But recently Ayato and Xiao both came on 50/50 too. 🥺<3<3<3

17. Who was the first character you pulled?

Other than the "promoted" Noelle, Ningguang <3

18. Who was your first 5 star character?

Diluc!

19. If you're currently saving to pull for someone, who?

The rumored Su-inspired character... Or Baizhu... Characters that are very far off. I'm suffering from gambling addiction want-to-use-my-primos-itis.

20. Do you prefer Mondstadt, Liyue, or Inazuma?

I think about this (amusingly) quite a lot when playing. They're all charming in their different ways... Mondstadt was where the adventure first began, and it's so idyllic and peaceful. It's PROBABLY my most preferred just on account of it being where I always go for this and that, or just to idle around at times. But Liyue isn't slouching here: I remember when traveling in Liyue, when something pulled us back to Mondstadt, I'd be like "Home<3<3<3" but just the same, when traveling in Inazuma, when something pulled us back to Liyue, I'd also be like "Home<3<3<3" X'D

On the other hand, Inazuma... is beautiful, but it doesn't invoke those kinds of feelings for me (we'll have to see how I feel once Sumeru drops XD). Instead there's just so much depth and SADNESS everywhere, which I appreciate a lot in it's own right. I'd say of the three, Inazuma is possibly the most "memorable"? At least in terms of like... pretty much everywhere I go there, all of these bittersweet memories from the questlines bubble up.

What are your thoughts on Razor? He's my favorite character I've pulled he's a cute wolf boy :3 and he seems pretty good

are you really asking me what are my thoughts on best boi??? 😳 im a razor simp and have him maxed out on talents and level 90. i love him so much!!!

anyway, if you are asking me what are my thoughts gameplay-wise.. i full star cleared the last version of Spiral Abyss (endgame content), so I can attest he is very strong and a secret 5-star unit

here’s a really good Razor guide courtesy of the Razor Mains Discord:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSNbjPrXCt9pdgl6BmJa1j8xvi7jgr47c96tRXzoUNmYtT4rSSwyuK8q5bKStf82PBOcrIZ5wuOm-tn/pub

You can refer to that if you decide to build him! You can also continue reading this response, if you are curious about my personal thoughts.

Artifacts and Weapons:

With artifacts, he is rather high investment because you want a 4 pc Gladiator’s Finale set on him, which only drops from weekly and world bosses, so it will be tough to farm. you also want Crit Rate and Crit Damage ratio of 1:2 so ideally at least 50% crit rate and 100% crit damage (this applies to all main DPS though, not just Razor).

If you can afford to pay monthly for Battle Pass, the Serpent Spine from the Battle Pass is the best 4* weapon for Razor because of Crit Rate as a main stat. That being said, you require a shielder like Zhongli or Diona if you want to use it because the passive of it makes the wielder take more DMG in exchange of higher dmg. If you get Serpent Spine then you want to use an ATK cup.

If you are f2p (free to play), If you are f2p, the craftable Prototype Archaic can work. you will want refinements though and even at R5, Serpent Spine is just better. so i’d say Battle Pass is worth the investment because you get a good weapon plus fragile resin, some currency, and resources you can use when raising units. there may be some f2p Razor clears with Archaic though so you can certainly do it, just requires higher investment.

the best weapon for Razor is the 5 star Wolf’s Gravestone, but that is gacha only so good luck getting that as a spook from the Standard (Non-limited banner) or when it gets a rate-up. the upcoming 5 star claymore might be good too, so you can save for that. I do not suggest rolling for weapon though if you’re a newbie. Best to roll for it when you are stuck in floor 11 of Spiral Abyss and have two teams invested in already.

you can also do 2 pc Gladiator’s Finale and 2 pc Bloodstained Chivalry as an interim set when you start farming for Noblesse Oblige for your supports. it works for Razor and is BiS (Best in Slot) if you have 5 star claymore Skyward Pride. otherwise, you still want to farm 4 pc Gladiator’s so farming world bosses and raising your units that you will use for your two teams for Spiral Abyss is great to do.

we will be getting new artifacts soon in 1.5 though that could replace 4pc GF as the Best In Slot (BiS), but thats still up in the air.

My Razor got fully built at Adventurer Rank 51 because I only got to complete his set with the ideal stats due to the current RNG artifact system. so yes, it requires patience.

Constellations:

i suggest you go all out in this banner because not only Venti is an amazing support, but Razor consts can make a significant difference to his DPS. if you can get C4 (4 constellations), then you’d have a great debuffer. non-C4 Razor can work too but the dps check would be tighter, so hyper investing on support might be needed

Gameplay:

That being said, Razor is high investment high reward. being a physical DPS means he is flexible against all enemies including electro enemies like electro slimes and even electro fatui! the only downside is he will struggle against high phys resistance enemies like Ruin Guards and Ruin Graders, which is the current last floor of this tier’s Spiral Abyss. he can still full star clear but it would require high investment in support and talents

another caveat too is that Razor is not an elemental reaction based team. he is a selfish main DPS because his elemental burst or ultimate (Q) does not stay when switching to other characters. that is why he requires very good support to support him. you also want to run Superconduct if you have him. if you have Zhongli, then you can be a bit more flexible.

however, he can be a main carry and he will not let you down if you decide to raise him.

TL;DR:

Is Razor worth raising? Absolutely. He will get you very far in the overworld and Spiral Abyss if you decide to hyper-invest on him. While it is true that Diluc and the upcoming 5* Claymore Eula could be lower investment being 5 star units.. Razor can still reach high DPS numbers and compete with them as long as he is fully invested.

I will continue to use Razor because i love him. So if you love him, then hyper-invest on best boi and reap the rewards

Question question, if you’re good with answering, what weapon d’you use on Ayato? Bc you said you did like 45k with him, and maybe I don’t know how to play him,, or his weapon has more to do with it than I thought…

okay so the set up for his 45k (upped to 65k zbdkz)

- r1 lv 90 primordial jade cutter + c0 lv 90 ayato

- skill lv 9

- 3.5k atk (he's at 2.3k alone, i used bennett)

- 70/226 crit

- +200 em (c6 diona ult) on vaporize reaction

- mona's ult buff (i want to redo it with ttds to get the 48% atk buff tho)

- 4p glad set effect (+35% normal atk dmg)

long story short that was 100% dmg showcase, not a very good comp for him otherwise

alone (2.3 atk, same crit ratio, same weapon and same set) he does 12-16k on crit (depending if i use his ult or not) without elemental reactions!

but the weapon plays a really big part in it, because it's a 5* so the base atk is outrageous and it also gives 44% crit rate so i was able to focus on crit dmg for his artifacts
