Hey there! I’m just getting into Genshin Impact, but I’m not sure if I should focus on trying to complete my quests or getting primogems or getting characters.. Could you maybe point me to a general direction of what I could start with???

hmm let me think 🤭 it depends, i‘m going to treat this as if you‘re f2p (free to play) which i think you are/will most likely be?

story wise:

honestly just go with the flow, do the main story and expore the open world! the main story and character quests are locked behind levels so you cannot do them right away anyways! (for example i think childe‘s character story quest is locked behind ar 40!) also don‘t rush the story, please enjoy all the lore and worldbuilding because it‘s honestly insane and addicting!!!! genshin has a lot of lore from the past before we went to teyvat and overall the lore from the present is simply amazing!

pulling wise:

what i would recommend is to kind of keep track of who‘s going to rerun/be released so you can collect enough primogems! also lets say you looked through the characters and you like idk xiao the most! you can look up when his last rerun was or simply wait for him while also collecting enough primogems once he comes back!

also just rq!!!! don‘t listen to people who‘re like "😫don‘t pull xyz they‘re not meta" or whatever 💀 please pull/build characters you really love or just like their playstyle! genshin does not have lots of endgame content and you do not have to have the best characters to beat the game or the main story, really! boss fights are all doable if you have characters that are build with some love, they don‘t have to be 5stars!

characters:

like i said build the ones you like, you should totally focus on one character at a time though, mora and materials are limited if you aren‘t spending money on the game so focus on one character and build them !!! (there‘s so many guids on youtube but i recommend the youtuber Zy0x, his videos are the best!)

once you have a fully build team you can go to the spiral abyss because there you will get i think two characters for free upon beating a few levels, i think xiangling and collei are for free! 💗 other than that, have fun with exploring the world and simply the game, no need to rush with anything, just enjoy it love!

okay team comp help,.. I need your advice - I want to use diona, bennett, rosaria and childe on my team but I’m not entirely sure about rosaria’s mechanics... what do you think?

rosaria is meant to deal physical damage - of course she can be a cryo damage dealer, but just like xinyan, physical damage is more convenient with the nature of their skills.  it’s too early to definitively say what rosaria’s mechanics are, so i’ll just comment on your team’s elemental resonance and synergy: two cryo gives +15% crit rate against enemies affected by cryo.  bennett and childe is already a good combo, great for vaporize and big damage.  you also have a freeze comp going on sans bennett.  rosaria could be your dps whenever childe switches back into ranged form!  so i think so far your team is pretty solid :0

I have a question! Are you familiar with the Genshin yourtuber Zy0x? I really like their videos, but do you know if they’re any good? Thank you!

i have heard of him yes!!  admittedly though i don’t really watch a lot of his content . . . all of the things i’ve heard about his videos, though, have been very positive!  in-depth and explains the nuances between different artifacts, weapons, etc.  i believe he’s (mid)core with how he explains things as well . . . ?  overall someone who i’d trust if i was lost on a genshin topic.

what artifacts/weapons would you suggest for a sub dps/support xingqiu? c5 btw

i would recommend support xingqiiu over (sub)dps xingqiu.

subdps: 

weapons: primordial jade cutter/skyward blade > sacrificial sword > festering desire.

artifact sets: 4piece heart of depth > 2piece heart of depth + 2piece noblesse. 

artifact main stats: hp flower, atk feather, atk% timepiece, hydro damage bonus goblet, crit rate/damage circlet

artifact substat prio: crit rate/damage > atk% > hp% > energy recharge.

support: 

weapons: skyward blade > sacrificial sword > festering desire.

artifact sets: 4piece noblesse > 2piece heart of depth + 2piece noblesse.

artifact main stats: hp flower, atk feather, hp% timepiece, hydro damage bonus goblet, hp% circlet

artifact substat prio: hp% > energy recharge > atk%.

hello!! i’m not sure if you’ve already answered this type of question before but with the fact that childe’s potential is locked behind his constellation is he still worth pulling for a f2p? :0 he’s not really kind in that regard lmao so i’m still trying to decide who to pull between him or venti and which bow would be best for who when i have both stringless and rust sitting around unused ㅠㅠ

yes!  childe is still worth pulling.  let me put this on a scale, hm . . . if diluc is the best dps in the game, a 9/10 on the scale, then childe is like . 7.5/10??? even if he doesn’t have constellations.  his aoe (in my opinion) is actually more than diluc’s due to riptide procs.  he also has amazing synergy with bennett, even when not ulting.  my point with bringing up childe’s constellation lock is that there’s just so much more he can do with them than without - c0 childe and c6 childe are not the same character, unlike c0 vs c6 keqing (hahaha someone fight me over this).  

stringless is currently venti’s best gacha bow, besides skyward harp, but the new 5star weapon elegy for the end is looking to be venti’s own 5star weapon.  so weapon prio for venti would go elegy of the end > stringless > skyward harp > favonius warbow imo. 

for childe, skyward harp > viridescent hunt > rust > stringless, but only stringless if you build bennett!  explanation here. 

hopefully i helped clear any confusion. :0

Hey! I have a few questions, which is a better healer, Qiqi or Barbara? Also, can I be considered really luck if I get two five stars within thirty pulls (hu tao and qiqi), cause people are talking about getting a good five star in ninety pulls and im like “???”, I barely have enough primogems for a three ten pulls.

Istg, your such a good help when it comes to genshin.

qiqi is the better healer - 5stars have higher base stats than 4stars.  qiqi scales off of atk, while barbara scales off of hp.  qiqi’s skill can also apply the physical debuff superconduct because it’s electro, whereas barbara’s hydro skill cannot apply debuffs. 

same logic kind of applies with their ults, with the addition that qiqi can just quick cast and switch out to have her allies attack enemies who are marked, continuously gaining health until the mark wears off, while barbara’s ult heal value is fixed. 

and yes, you are really lucky if you get a 5star within 70 pulls - much less 30!!  and about the “people are talking about getting a good five star in ninety pulls”, this is true.  90 pulls is hard pity, and there is a chance to get a 5star between 76-80 pulls.  getting a 5star in less than 76 pulls is rare enough already, so the fact that you got 2 within 30 (when the pull rate for a 5star is 0.6% - not even a full percent) is amazing.

Hi, could I have some Genshin advice please? If not, feel free to ignore! I currently have an r5 white tassel on Hu Tao as her weapon. I like the crit rate stat, but I feel bad having a three star weapon on her. I also have the favonious lance and a dragonspine spear, should I swap the tassel out for one of those? Thank you!

keep white tassel, especially if it’s r5!  don’t use dragonspine spear because the physical damage bonus on hutao is icky.  r5 white tassel beats out favonius lance on all regards imo as well, since the white tassel r5 passive increases normal attack damage by 48%.  yes, even if it’s a 3star weapon, i’ve seen lots of hutao players excel with it.  so it seems as if white tassel r5 is your best option so far!

Catch me looking at childe's complicated af playstyle and thinking "big brain time"

HSADLJFSDFD YEAH?  his playstyle doesn’t take long to get used to though :0 it’s just about counting your seconds or getting a feel for when you should switch him back to ranged form so your skill cd isn’t too long.  he also has a lot of repetitive terminology in his kit LOL thanks mhy ;; but i promise playing him is easier than it sounds :0

[kaebedom-me]

Zy0x is honestly the best, i saw him do 240k w his childe and ive been aiming for that ever since. its honestly so refreshing to see that his childe isnt like c6, which means its actually possible for me to hit what he got

im at 160k so im almost there!!

-🍭 anon

I fucking hate my Childe i tell you everyone's doing cool damage and this bitch is doing 800 on a good day?? A crime, this is shannaphobic

He's demoted to support, Kaeya wears the pants in this relationship

But good for you lollipop nonnie!!!! I'm so proud of your childe 😭😭😭 give him a wittol smooch

[wriokitty]

riv’s lawyer in the ‘ i still like wrio more ’ case

( plot twist riv did the whole bit just bcos she just wanted to visit wrio at the fortress of meropide )

HELPPPPPP so true he’s my lawyer that’s why no one takes me seriously. Just look at him

No this is reason number 1683 why zy0x is bf material he wears a maid dress. He’s the perfect man like tell me I’m wrong??????

ANYWAY. Me and wrio are sat in the glass tunnel in the fortress sharing tea and ayato can go cry about it 💪

[wriokitty]

riv im so unhappy about them… why the FUCK would they make her an on field dps im actually gonna tweak out.. kinich basically has no supports for his a2 passive in terms of the main cast outside of ororon (who wants taser, and no ones playing hyperbloom kinich) and support thrilling tales mualani (whos literally only played by zy0x)

Omg what leaks did you see? I’m wondering if maybe there are different ones? Because the ones I’ve seen make her essentially a pyro raiden of sorts where she makes like a ring for her skill and applies pyro every 2 seconds even when she’s off field so I assumed her to be mainly an off field pyro applicator through her skill

[wriokitty]

i will be like riv wtf bcos have u seen that man’s clip compilations but also i get what u mean . like maybe not zy0x specifically but i see ur point . . :3

I’m not gonna lie to you I see compilations of his streams and I just think wow this guy is very funny and is a loser he would treat me right 🚶‍♀️

[wriokitty]

NO RIGHT BC I LOVE ZY0X BUT LIKE BACK OFF OF MY WIFE???? HES MINE?????? LIEKE RHUEIIU I WILL BE TOP 1% (ts is NOT happening)

I’m top 4% for ayato that’s all I have going for me right now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 idk if I’ll be able to get to top 1% for kinich but fuck it, I’ll die trying

[wriokitty]

Riv, hear me out.... Modern AU streamer Kinich

Please we have to talk about the cliche (but never old) sucking him off while he’s playing on call 😼 or better yet. He’s on live as he streams and you’re out of frame between his legs teasing him as he fights to keep a straight face. Yeah🚶‍♀️

But also catch me editing the funny clips of him like people do with zy0x in this streamer au LOL I’m his biggest fan I got a whole edit tik tok and everything
