Yeah that DPS thing is terrible, and makes no sense.

This is why I want to pull Fu Xuan, because I have all this stuff prepped and ready for her.

Been collecting stuff getting ready for her for months, and now she has been placed in the worst position possible. After Aventurine and before Firefly and Jade
If you've been farming for months for her it sounds like it's the others who have been placed in a bad position tbqh.

After a lot of tweaking I was able to 3 star the earlier MoC 11. Mildly annoying that I had to redo the whole thing just to modify my second team but the first team cleared so fast it wasn't a huge deal.

12, though, I may not even bother.

The lightcone's advantage over his other options is probably better than Boothill's E1 right now.... but I don't think that will be the case the moment they make literally any 4 star hunt lc with the words "break effect" on it lol. Who knows when that will be though. Also some fair comfort in being able to one shot a squishy right off the bat thanks to his talent being able to proc immediately in a fight and the value of the def shred on his e1 does go up the more of it you have. (his lc, ruan mei e1, pela, etc.) Granted, I suppose that applies to both e1 and s1

I finally managed to hit 160 speed on Sparkle! 🥲 I had to sacrifice some otherwise good relics (including her Broken Keel set), but it's worth it for the satisfaction of seeing that 160+ number.

Other roster progress:

On the one hand I'm very frustrated that I'm still using off-set relics for Acheron after nearly 2 months of spending the vast majority of my stamina farming the Pioneer cavern, and using all of my SU tokens on Izumo planars... but on the other hand I have her at S+ so I can't be too unhappy.

jV9LosH.png

I've managed to get Qingque to S+ as well. She's my 2nd best DPS outside of Pure Fiction (thanks to Sparkle). I played around with sacrificing some CR for more CDMG, but I'm keeping the higher CR because it feels SO BAD when you miss a crit with her. I've switched her LC from Breakfast to Cosmos to give her more in-battle CDMG at least.

rVS8D2i.png

I've finally gotten around to giving Tingyun better gear; idk why I'd been neglecting her relics for so long when she's been one of my most used characters from the very beginning. That 155 speed is painful, especially considering I came within 1 roll of hitting 160. At least Sparkle got there today.

I was surprised to see a S+ rating for my Harmony TB, considering how little effort I've put into him. Prydwen recommends 150-250 Break Effect, so I figured my 182 BE would land him on a lower tier. Meshing Cogs is giving me nothing on the BE front, but I only have a S1 Memories of the Past, so I figured S5 Cogs > S1 Memories? I dunno, but anyway I'm not gonna put too much effort into HTB until I have an actual team to use him in. I'm not pulling Boothill or Firefly and my Xueyi is only E1, so I really don't know what to do with him.

Well, that's enough relic farming for now. I need a break so I'm gonna farm Erudition traces to finally build up Herta for Pure Fiction.

Finished building up my Robin, so I made a go at MOC 12 for this cycle and the previous cycle:

I was trying to do 5 turns for each team, which was fine for White Night Chronicles, where both teams did a good job pulling their weight, but it was terrible for Dream Within Dream. In the end, Side 1 took 7 turns and the Ratio team on Side 2 ended up clutching it out by finishing in 3 turns.

Congrats on your amazing progress, your characters are so well geared! :D

As for my daily update, did the weekly boss for Topaz traces and got a Serious of Breakfast yay. It was the final one I needed to S5 it for my Argenti. :D This is now the third time I got a LC from a boss. Once a few months ago and then last week and this week. xD

Official Kafka figure when, dammit. I'd actually shell out for that one. Keyword is official, none of the oddly pornographic garage kits out there.

Wow these look nice, but I currently have too many statues already. Though if they release a quality Stelle one, I might consider it.

You know the gacha pricing is f*** when the 1/6 statue could be cheaper than E6 E2S1 you favorite character in-game.

Those Firefly/DanHengIL/Archeron statues are cheaper than e2s1 Firefly/DanHengIL/Archeron in-game if you lose 50/50 twice in a row y'all.

I've completed the Penacony statue thing to get the Harmony trailbrazer eidolons and honestly it has been fun and I haven't feel I have grinded or anything, plus I've gotten quite a few jade alongside the way

E2 no sustain and good relics isn't a realistic reason to nerf

Boothill coming and in the same situation can also oneshot bosses with the right team and buffs and he's not nerfed and hes not even the expected big banner seller

Lyo saying the premiere boothill team is HMC, Boothill, Ruan Mei and Gallagher.

interesting, you would think Bronya for action forward but guess you want the break more

Oh yeah new PF tomorrow.

IMG-2791.jpg


My first 0 cycle.

There is something so satisfying of having the second wave spawn then Ratio immediately chucks the chalk at them
Congrats, I haven't done any 0 cycle so far but this MoC I did 0 Cycle the 1st half of 12 with my Acheron team, It's the second half that I don't really have a team that I tried to do it with. Ratio/Robin/Topaz/Aventurine seem to do well but I only have Ratio. I'll manage in one of the MoC one day.

Harmony Trailblazer is built. Time to move on to Gallagher. I'm pretty sure everything is going to come together just in time for Firefly.

Her team should be ready to go on day one.

Here I'm still on destruction trace farming. I have 4 self modeling resin ready for If I really want to have Firefly relic fast but I doubt I'll use them. More Jades from tomorrow PF and weekly SU will be nice.

Dunno If I'll bother doing Weekly bosses tomorrow since I have everything I need.

Part of me second guessing the boothill pull is I won't be able to play him or his team for months to maybe even a year in all likelihood. Getting everyone up to speed in these games always takes so long and I probably shouldn't be eyeing a third team at all even if it is mostly 4 stars I have/a standard banner 5 star. :/

E3 Gallagher, Pela I'd probably use over HMC, don't have bronya but she will be the selector pick coming up if she doesn't happen before then so "guaranteed" in a sense. Also could use the E5 HMC for the time being.

Depending on how deep the boothill pulls went, I'd also try for Ruan Mei.

But no one on my account is "built" period. So acheron/pela/guinafen/gallagher and ratio/robin/aventurine/topaz would all be getting their relevant traces maxed, lcs to 80, actual relics farmed before I'd even touch the boothill squad. (He could pull the pela and gallagher away from acheron though so thats easy enough i guess) I'd also probably prioritize fully kitting herta and clara too to have a better shot at clearing PF before the boothill team.

I like boothill and were building characters not a concern I'd probably go all the way this week. But I think my actual plan in light of my account status will be to go to pity in 30 pulls and if he doesn't happen there, I probably just table the idea and the upcoming RM rerun pulls and save everything for Jiaoqiu, Sparkle rerun, Acheron rerun. Don't bother pulling characters for anything other than the Acheron team and don't build anything anything other than the acheron and RRAT team for the rest of the year.

I've been working on Furina prefarm for over a month in Genshin and its still not done so I know that I probably need a month to two minimum set aside in resin/fuel per character in these games. Which seems nuts for a game that wants you to want to get characters but eh it is what it is and I also don't think they realize the standards some of us enforce for artifacts/relics before moving on.

Doing all the Penacony story stuff to get enough jades for Firefly and man this is dark lol. I'm not very far in it (Black Swan showed up) but I really appreciate it. Not sure how many jades I can gain but surely it'll come in handy. I know I want Firefly but if I will have enough for Boothill potentially too I might summon for him before her.

I see what you mean. So many characters so little resources. I doing the same for Furina right now along with trying to get Wanderer to 90 and its been rough.

For Boothill. There are some fun teams to try even if you dont do ridiculous damage with Ruan Mei. But trying for break damage or get Super Break without RM or HMC is rough.
