Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.
That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

How about er req heard flins team has high er req Flins, Ineffa, Bina, Sucrose is what I'm using

u/Acadeca HIMARS 8h ago
The damage output of that team is split between the three characters (Flins/Ineffa/Columbina). Flin's signature gives him a bunch of stats, but because he is part of a whole team it is diluted. Ineffa's signature gives her a bit of stats but also gives the whole team lunar damage bonus. The difference between the two in terms of team dps gain is not that far apart, but it leans slightly towards Ineffa's signature.
Flins doesn't really have "high" ER requirements. If you compare to what was "high" in years past it would be 50-80+ ER. Flins wants somewhere around 120 ER, which is a bit more than just accidental rolls but not a detrimental amount of recharge.

How hard is the bp to complete? Like if i just log in daily and use resin is that enough? Or I need to go out of my way to get the weekly tasks done? Im bp 16 atm.
2
u/KyrrithK 🎻Keeping Sandrone up all night~🎶 11h ago
If you're also doing things like events and endgame, it's pretty doable to finish the BP.
- Daily (6/7 days a week), just condense 3 resin, spend 3 in leylines/domains, and use expeditions for the mining. Or fight 4-5 world bosses. Prioritize Stygian while it's able to be farmed. All up about 5 mins a day.
- One day a week, do some of the weekly tasks like cooking, forging, weekly bosses, realm currency, Like 5-10 mins.
- Also one day a week (usually weekend), do whatever events and endgame are out, maybe 30 mins extra since they often don't overlap multiple things, but flagship events might be longer, 2-3 hours (over 2-3 weeks).
- Also, you'll have to do SOME exploration to stockpile encounter points, otherwise just spending resin won't complete your dailies. Events help you mostly break even, but not entirely in my experience.
But if you literally mean 'log in, press 5 buttons, log out in under 60 seconds' every day for 6 weeks, then no. Just daily missions and some weekly ones won't finish the BP.
1
u/Downtown_Promise_937 11h ago
I have 260 encounter points. I play 1h when I work but then around 8h per day on my days off. (I do 12h shift work) I am a new player from 2weeks ago. I am not doing any of the end game and events. I want to experience the story properly. That is why I am concerned. I am thinking of buying the pass but I worry if I will finish it in time.
2
u/KyrrithK 🎻Keeping Sandrone up all night~🎶 11h ago
Well, you gain nothing from buying the pass early vs late, except for access to the materials immediately. If you aren't sure, just wait 2 more weeks and see where you land. Lvl 40 is enough to consider buying the BP imo, though some say 50 or nothing. Just remember the BP finishes Sunday night BEFORE the 2nd set of banners ends and the patch changes on Wed.
But yeah, you'll be missing a fair few levels from endgame/events, so that makes things pretty hard to say where you'll land. Hopefully though you'll be doing most of the weekly missions incidentally, like bosses and domains. Leylines as well is easy if you don't condense resin (so do 3x the runs), but kinda hard if you are condensing.
The teapot missions might be a bit of a pain, but might be necessary to cap your EXP each week, so find at least one in-game friend to visit their teapot on the weekend, and use your iron ores from mining commissions to craft 10 vases or something each week. Once you unlock teapot ofc, I forget how long that takes.
But yeah, if you play daily and complete all daily/weekly missions, you'll hit the 10k cap each week even before TCG, which would be 60 levels (out of 50 max). So even if you miss some teapot weeklies, you should still be getting 8-9 levels a week if you're paying attention to doing your weekly missions.
1
u/ceos_ploi 11h ago
if, in additon to the dailies, you get some time to do the weeklies on a day off (like 3 trounce domains(you don't have to claim the rewards, just finish the fight), cook 20 times, refine ore 20 times, get 1000 realm currency from the pot...) you should be fine.
It could get tricky to complete this first pass, though, since you have a weekly 10 level xp limit
Try to do some of the 'once per pass' achievements. They give a lot of XP and don't count towards the weekly limit.
1
u/Kaemonarch 5h ago
If that's your worry; imo skip buying the Battle Pass for now; and consider it on your 2nd (or 8th!) month playing; no hurries. I personally never bought them.
If you only care about wishes for characters (not accounting for the free Mora and materials and weapon of your choice from completing the Battle Pass) the Welkin gives you 5 times more wishes per dollar.
1
u/No-Piano-987 12h ago
You won't even come close if all you do is just spend 150 resin a day. It's not hard to complete but you do need to play the game if you want to complete the battlepass.
1
u/Downtown_Promise_937 11h ago
I do play. I just mean i get all the daily bp rewards but not all of the weekly ones. So lets say one week i do the 10bosses and another domains. Or do i need to focus to go out of my way and get weekly done
1
u/datProtein 11h ago edited 11h ago
Depends on how you play. I usually get some easier weeklies out on monday, and even then I don't have to do them every week. Grab realm currency, cook 20 eggs and craft 20 weapon exp (materials free from daily expeditions for both), defeat 2 weekly bosses (can do the same one twice on the easiest difficulty). These take less than 10 minutes total. Some others might be completed just by spending the daily 120 resin, like the domains one. This is usually more than enough to complete the BP comfortably in time (if I include daily 3 or 4 + whatever comes from the misc. missions like events and spiral abyss).
Edit: typo
1
u/Downtown_Promise_937 8h ago
I am only AR34 so im not sure what you mean by realm currency and weekly bosses.
2
u/datProtein 6h ago
Ah, I see. Realm currency is from housing, should be available after AR28 and some quests, weekly bosses become available after AR40.
In this case however it depends what things you have access to. For now, you probably need more time to invest in the BP if you want to max it out, but it should become easier to do later as you unlock more options, get more characters and better gear, get better at domains and bosses, etc. Just the daily 4 will never give enough points, but doing enough weeklies to finish it will not take that much time and effort eventually.1
u/Savantene 11h ago edited 11h ago
The BP isn’t necessarily hard to complete at all, you just need to strategize and stay diligent. And yes, you’ll have to complete weekly missions. (I do all of them except the genius invokation one and buying from another person’s teapot). That has gotten me to level 39. Not doing the weekly missions (and not completing the battle pass) is a major loss, especially if you’re considering to buy Gnostic Hymm (which is very affordable).
(If you’ve done ALL the current missions, you can condense your resin to do domains / ley lines later when weekly missions refresh so you can continue regenerating resin).

u/Kaemonarch 5h ago
If you want to use it as reference, I hit Lv50 today; before the halfway mark. Not sure how it will go if you just log in for dailies/resin; but if you add 10 Teapot Crafts and 20 Blacksmith crafts and 20 Food Crafts per week; that may help a bunch.
You should totally be doing some of the other stuff regardless thou; like the 3 Weekly Bosses, Abysses and Theaters and Events.
If you did all the dailies/resin since 7.0 came until today, and you are only Lv16... it's not going to be enough.

So with the upcoming Rerun of Flins and Ineffa, do you guys think that a Lunar Team is necessary for all the shill?
I don't have a Lunar Team because I spent all of Nod Krai saving on Varka, Nicole & Durin (got C4R1 Varka and C0 Nicole & Durin, yay). Though that Team tends to be able to bruteforce most stuff, I do have my problems with some Lunar shill.
I'd much rather pull for Stellar Characters but it seems that the Lunar shill will remain relevant for a while?
So should I pull for Flins to have at least one good Lunar team to clear shill? (I don't have Columbina or Ineffa, yet).
2
u/steffen4404 10h ago
tl;dr: focus on stellar if you have no primos left over.
i would argue that there is merit to either getting flins or zebai in order to deal with lunar enemys, if you are invested into SO clears.
however, if you do not have primos left over for a flins pull, i would skip it. its much better investing into the "new" stuff, than into older characters.
or take it this way:
abyss will probably only ever feature lunar theme again if there is a major rerun, as it is usually focused around new content.
IT is unlikly to focus around lunar, as they would need to bring columbina/aino as special characters all the time.
SO, yes it would merrit having a good lunar team. last difficulty 5 was doable with a flins aino team, but its rather close without a lunar 5 star support.

u/Daemonjho 10h ago

u/selenta 6h ago
Lunar will remain relevant, if for no other reason than that most of the top dps teams are lunar teams (zibai is still 2nd at min premium afaik). That said, I think it's fair to say you kind of gave up your chance getting your C4R1 Varka. If you had stopped at C2R1 you could have also picked up Bineffa and been in the same spot your are now ready to get stellar but with a lunar team.

u/Acadeca HIMARS 8h ago
The highest teams are using Odette/Yae(c1) and then a flex. The specific flex can go between Escoffier/Nicole/Qiqi depending on what you have available and how invested the rest of the team is and what you are fighting. Escoffier's shred and additional cryo application are really useful for the current Lion enemy in stygian for the shiled break as an example.

u/idkwhattoplacengl hydro supremacy 9h ago
What would you personally recommend me doing? It's either I pull for vesna next patch or I hold off pulling for anyone at all and focus on building my units.
I took a year break from genshin so I have a few unfinished characters. Mainly Chasca and Navia, but I also have a few units I'd like to rebuild like Skirk and Varessa and their supports. (Giving tenacity to furina, scroll on escoffier, etc etc).
So I was wondering if I should pull for vesna and focus on just building her or should I chill out on the pulling to fix my account while saving for cryo archon and her support. I'll probably still get vesna in the future, absolutely on her rerun. Also yes I have odette.

u/9thdragonkitty 9h ago edited 9h ago
Pull vesna, you can bench her while you rebuild your other characters if you want. But it probably won’t take you that long to rebuild them. It would take way longer for vesna to re-run
Plus if you want to do end game stuff for the primos, even a half built vesna + odette team is going to help you out.
1
u/itsalljake 3h ago
Those are some great characters to build, so I would hold off on pulling vesna for now until her rerun, just save for her and the tsaritsa while building odette, chasca, navia, skirk, veresa etc - chasca exploration will be great in snezhnaya!
But of course, if you make some good progress in the few weeks from now until her banner ends and you want to pull for her, go for it. Up to you, but sometimes when I have a lot of characters I pulled and need to build, I'll take a patch or so off to save up and build what I have.

You should be able to slot at least one of Sucrose or Fischl into pretty much any team that uses Mona to make it a hex team, with Skirk being maybe the only exception. Usually there's no reason not to give her Celestial Gift, and in teams where she isn't on Gift you'd want her on Noblesse anyway.

I currently have team Lauma/Kirara/Yae Miko/Barbara, would switching Barbara for Vodyanitsa work? She's so pretty and I've read she's even a healer! However all the guides talk about swirl, hydro and cryo reactions... Which I don't think applies to my team well...
5
u/burnpsy 7h ago
Vodyanitsa does basically nothing for your team. But I'll be honest: Reading the rest of your team, that clearly isn't going to stop you. So you may as well pull her.
In terms of making a good teams, you'd want to break up this team and reuse Lauma and Yae in their stronger teams (which contain none of the other 3 characters you are using with them).
1
u/Colorfulmouse 7h ago
It actually works pretty well tho!!! At least better than my team b4... I think it's clear I'm not a meta player ;w;
2
u/burnpsy 7h ago
Yeah, your team is basically hyperbloom with Lauma as a support. Hyperbloom was the baseline of DPS about 4 years ago, and is very hard to do wrong, so I'm not surprised.
It just kinda stands out because Yae + Cryo Traveler is already most of the way to a top team ATM.
1
u/Colorfulmouse 7h ago
Yeahhh, I like easy to play teams, so I don't really pull for characters that don't have an easy gameplay (like Lohen and Durin) I actually don't have Yae for a long time, before her I had Lisa in my team..... But I realised it's time for an upgrade! Originally before Vodyanitsa was released I wanted to replace Barbara with Kokomi, but since there's no banners like that any time soon, I think I'll go with Vodyanitsa,since it's more realistic...
2
u/burnpsy 7h ago
Durin's gameplay is extremely easy, what do you mean? You press the skill button twice, that autofills his burst if you built him with enough ER, and then you press burst and swap out...
Anyway, Vodyanitsa will be a quality of life increase compared to Barbara, but she won't be a damage increase. Her kit literally only buffs hydro, cryo, and Stellar Swirl damage.
1
u/Colorfulmouse 7h ago
Eh, it wasn't my thing I suppose then.. Yeahhh that's exactly why I'm a bit hesitant to switch her for Barbara. I suppose I'll see till she actually drops, and be on look out for any Kokomi banners (which I highly doubt will be happening but oh well) Technically I do have a healer already (C1 Lauma) but Barbara imo heals so much easier and more frequently
1
u/_MuadDib_ 6h ago
If you like healer and want to play hyperbloom, Kuki Shinobi is great if you have her. Her gameplay is really easy, she's like any other E(Q) bot. Only thing you need to be mindful is not to get hit when switching to her as she is draining her HP and will be pretty much always low. When exploring you can always heal her to full as she is healing using her skill so you can always heal your whole party during downtime, without needing to kill enemies to get energy
→ More replies (1)5
u/Wave-Master 7h ago
Vodyanitsa will be more useful than Barbara in that team at least, but that's no surprise comparing her to a free 4* unit like Barbara. The team as a whole is questionable but that's kind of a separate issue at that point.

if youre using Yae for hyperbloom, youre better off adding Xingqiu for hydro and onfielding Yae doign normal attack (works best with both Xingqiu who applies a lot of hydro, and on top of that, Kirara if c4+ for some extra dendro)
cause turrets will only hit enemies so no blooms get triggered unless enemies are literally standing on them
if youre gonna use a hydro onfielder(hydro catalyst, why wouldnt you?), seriously, best to change Yae

I say get her! Ineffa+Columbina is a great core duo along with Sucrose and works to uplift any older dps you may have benched (Hu Tao, Raiden, Yoimiya, Arle, Neuv, Alhaitham, Childe, Clorinde, hell even Keqing).

Hi everyone! For the constellation selector, I’m unsure of who to pick.
Last year, I got Albedo c1 and then quit until now. I just want to know what buffs will be the best for my teams. I’m thinking Mizuki first for her c1.
After, I’m torn between Baizhu, Chlorinde, Navia, Qiqi (makes her c6)
My other options are: Shenhe (I have Skirk full team), Itto, Ayato, Tartag, and all other standard.

1
u/real_fake_cats 6h ago edited 6h ago
Mizuki or Qiqi are good options if you plan to play those teams, since they're currently meta. You can also get both on the aniversary selector, so if you wanted to do C2 Mizuki or C1 Mizuki + C6 Qiqi, those would both be in reach.
Otherwise, Clorinde's C1 is one of the biggest increases on this list if you don't want to use it on a standard banner character.
1
u/selenta 6h ago
Mizuki is the best, as you probably know, if you plan to use her. Then it's Qiqi for C6. It makes her actually better than the other options for stellar teams by giving her decent damage, and pretty much any standard character is already a better option than any of your other choices. When the con doesn't do much on a character you're probably not using much anyway... might as well get closer to a stella fortuna.

u/9thdragonkitty 6h ago
Definitely mizuki for now. By the time you have to pick your second constellation there might be new character buffs to consider, so I wouldn’t worry about deciding this far out

to be clear, thats assumed to be on a Mizuki/Vesna team, there really isnt much point using anyone else
if Faruzan isnt c6 specifically
Sucrose is always the replacement
otherwise you just dont use a second anemo at all
the alternative is designed to be Vodyanitsa. and with her, you really want two cryos cause hydro will remove the cryo on enemies

I'm trying to diversify my account more and I'm wondering if it would be better to pull for ineffa on her re-run (I have her weapon and a premium flins team waiting just incase!) Or, for me to pull for Vesna (I have a c2 odette, c1 qiqi and c6 sucrose, as well as artifacts farmed for both Vesna and Ineffa.) I'm guaranteed for either one of them, though I'm not sure if it'd be more worth it to wait for vesna's rerun, dump pulls onto ineffa and Vesna's weapon, and then save again for Vesna later on? I was hoping to get the tsaritsa and mitya but knowing that the tsaritsa is more likely to be a Frozen Support drives me away, as I have no Frozen DPS.
My current teams that are relying on this decision are,
Flins c0r1, Columbina c0r1, Fischl c6 r5 stringless (on silken holding what would be ineffa's artifacts) and sucrose C6r5 ttds, my lvl 20 iansan is currently holding on to ineffa's weapon
And
Mizuki c0r1 lost prayers, Odette c2r3 Exphainanes, c1 qiqi on the flute, and yet again sucrose (I'll likely replace her with lynette as I have c0 faruzan only and c6 lynette which is currently holding on to what would be Vesna's artifacts)

Mizuki and vesna compete for the same team, since you already have mizuki , ineffa is probably a bigger upgrade to your roster compared to vesna

u/itsalljake 3h ago
Tsaritsa is most likely gonna be like Mavuika or Raiden, mainly on-field dps with some off-field capability, and it also looks like Mitya is mainly gonna be on-field dps, with supportive utility at C1 or C2.
If you have Mizuki already, I would say it's better to complete your Flins team and pull Ineffa for now. Especially since you already have her sig! If you really hate mizuki's playstyle, you can throw some pulls Vesna's way then save for her rerun if you don't get her, and the Tsaritsa.
•
u/Effective-Meet-6177 14m ago
Oo in that case I might just skip vesna overall! Pull for ineffa, and save for tsaritsa and mitya like I wanted to. I missed out of pulling for mavuika and raiden because I didn't have the teams for them. My priority with pulls is Supports>support weapons>main dps weapon> dps. Where did you find any info on the tsaritsa being like mavuika?

I have C0R0 Flins premium team (w/R1 Ineffa) since first run. he has Scarlet Sands currently and 2.3k atk, 240 EM, 66.6, cr 229.1 cd and 147.3 er. Should I pull his C1 (5 pity not guaranteed) or his R1 sig (~50 pity maybe?)
I took a break from genshin and haven’t pulled since bina and flins weapon rerun… I’m currently f2p but haven’t explored the moon or sneznaya and have ~3 archon quests to do but I am employed so… which is best to pull for today?
1
u/pzlama333 4h ago
C1 over C0 is a bigger increase than his sig over scarlet sand.

u/Corpusdeiii 4h ago
Lwk got his sig uhh im too impulsive guess ill keep exploring the moon (i now also have R2 ineffa..)
1
u/Acadeca HIMARS 4h ago
Generally I would not recommend refining five star weapons. It already happened, but if you pull more dupes in the future it might be worth having them around for other teammates instead of having to pull for their weapons as well
2
u/Corpusdeiii 4h ago
Oh dw I didn’t actually refine it she’s still R1 but it’s a good weapon to have a dupe of!! Polearms are my fav weapon

Is ineffa worth getting now (have flins) or skip for snezhnaya characters?
2
u/joe_rival 4h ago
mostly a matter if you want to skip for 7.1 characters specifically
Flins makes Ineffa a great choice1
u/OrbitalSong 4h ago
Sure, Flins' premium team is still one of the meta teams. Assuming you have Columbina, seems worth completing and making it competitive, especially since Ineffa is so versatile.

1
u/KingOfTheKitsune 4h ago
I'd say Ineffa is worth it for Flins, yes.
But if you're saving for 7.1 characters it could be more debatable.

u/Small-Ebb-3692 4h ago
I have stellar conduct team; Sandrone Alyosha, Odette, Sucrose. I also have Columbina and Mizuki but I didn't level them up. I have 30k primo and 20 wishes. Should I try to pull Flins and Ineffa since I have Columbina.
I heard rumours that Tsaritsa will be main dps but probably SSC dps. And people are saying I would need Mitya and Danica for her.
So my question is should I go for Lunar Team; Flins, Ineffa, Bina
Or wait for Tsaritsa
But I already have SSC team.
I have lost my last 50/50 so next one is guaranteed
1
u/Acadeca HIMARS 4h ago
If you don't have any other lunar character, then getting someone to go along with Columbina might be a safe bet. Ineffa is probably the better +1 for the core, but if you want any of the other cores better and will play and build them then you can make an argument for just about anything. It is hard to know how "valuable" it will be to get Ineffa or other lunar characters as we continue on down the road. The teams that use them will continue to be really strong, but if they will be incentivized to the same extent that they were during our time in NodKrai will be a different question.
Tsaritsa
We have not that many reliable rumors about anything beyond what will be coming next patch. There can be educated guesses, but the amount of information that can be attained from those guesses is going to be subjective. Within reason, the Tsaritsa will be cryo, will probably be around 3 months away, and will probably be in some form of stellar team. Which means you have enough time to save up for her and wait to see what more information comes out

u/Extreme_Fix_1735 4h ago
Need help deciding who to pull for! Currently, i'm between Odette, flins, and durin. I have flins premium team and thought it would be useful so i don't bench bina/ineffa, though I know varesa is good in overload which I don't have for her now, along with me having sandrone+yae, but no good cryo for the other slot. Which one(s) would be the smartest? I do have around 350 pulls, but I'm pretty unlucky so I don't want to take chances lmao
1
u/9thdragonkitty 3h ago
Odette is the best option
Columbina + ineffa is a strong core that doesn’t really need flins
Varesa can use mavuika,pyro traveler, or xaingling instead of durin. He isn’t a mandatory part of her team at all. You really want iansan + chevruse for her
1
u/Extreme_Fix_1735 3h ago
I dont have mav, though I did think durins banner would take a while so he was my last priority i think? I'm just iffy because I don't have that many characters, esp for lunar, though s stellar better than lunar? I do have iansan and chevy which I've been trying to use but she's not very strong with the characters I have

u/Sidious_09 I used to be an adventurer like you. Then broke my knee 3h ago
I'm doing the Snezh world quests and it feels lik I accidentally skipped parts of them. "Aksinya" keeps appearing and the game treats her like I should know her, but I've never met her before. Did I or did I not miss something?
3
u/Ceronymous 2h ago
Depends on what order you do them in. The order the game "expects" is Flamefeather Valley -> House of Hesperides -> Pale Crown Palace so it brings up Aksinya in that continuity. But it doesn't matter all that much; most of her lore is kind of self-contained into the Pale Crown Palace arc.
1
u/Sidious_09 I used to be an adventurer like you. Then broke my knee 2h ago
Thanks, I figured as much but even in the flame feather valley Paimon goes "it's Aksinya!" when she never showed up before. Kind of weird.

Paimon only recognises her in Flamefeather Valley if you've done one of the other quests first.

u/agsjqbsbak 3h ago
should i pull for ineffa or wait for zibai? my nod krai characters are these: flins, columbina, lauma, linnea.
keep in mind i have all my quests done and exploration at 100% everywhere so i can only save up primos with daily commissions and events.
i like zibai more but i see people saying that ineffa is really good so idk what to do
2
u/Stamp2O joke explainer 3h ago
would you rather complete the lunar charge or crystallize team, both are strong when complete but crystallize is slightly better

u/agsjqbsbak 3h ago
if i had to choose between completing flins team or zibai team then i would choose zibai cause i like her more, but i also like playing columbina and lauma and i heard columbina, lauma, linnea and ineffa team is a thing
3
u/nlopnlipa 3h ago
columbina, lauma, linnea and ineffa team
That team won't work since you have too little Hydro application. But if you switch out Linnea for Aino you have her best Main DPS team.

I'm a casual player Have flins premium team flins Columbina ineffa And some 5 stars randomly such as chasca, neuvilete,linnea,raiden,durin,escoffier, ye lan, wanderer,xianyun Most of them are not well built
I can't clear abyss 12th floor always stop at 11 And imaginium theatre at act 8 or sometimes act 6 I want to clear everything and get all the primos What should I do? I can't provide more than 1.5 hr a day into the game (need to collect some primos daily too) So how should I proceed with my characters? And how to create a relevant team with synergy Ar 59 btw all the archon quests and major world quests done Exploration done mostly too
1
u/Acadeca HIMARS 2h ago
Theater is asking one major and one minor question. The major question is if you have enough characters leveled. The minor question is if you have them built strongly enough to do all of the content. Which makes it a bit difficult to try and game towards theater other than just playing and pulling characters as you continue to play. Ensuring that you level some of your four star characters as well will be beneficial as sometimes they act just as fodder for teams, but several four stars are very potent.
There are a few different characters that you could consider picking up to help finish off some teams. Like if you got Zibai then you would have Flins premium and Zibai/Linnea/Aino that should be strong enough to tackle content. If that is a better idea than getting a different archetype for the longevity of your account is a different question. You can make a somewhat low cost strong team by getting Odette and then using CryoMC and Mizuki to create a stellar swirl team.
As for what to spend resin on, you can pretty easily spend your resin in under an hour and a half each day. Which will leave you able to run around the map getting resources for ascension or having fun with the rest of the time. Getting a planner (several online) that you can track what characters you have and what ascensions/talents/weapons they are at so you can start to plan out your spending more effectively.

How likely will I regret not pulling odette as a newer player if I plan to do endgame once I reach it. I started a couple days ago and pulled arlechino and chose Mona as my free standard character. I'm currently ar 29
1
u/9thdragonkitty 2h ago
There are always multiple options for characters/teams that work for end game so you never need one specific character. And while they are often played together, cryo traveler can stand in for odette in some teams
Odette also isn’t a good option for arlecchino teams, so you can focus on building a good team for arlecchino for now
And if you are still interested in odette in the future you can pull her when she returns (usually takes several months for new characters to rerun)
1
u/corallein 2h ago
Depends on how long it takes you to get there. Also if Odette has a rerun by then. Also if Odette's role overlaps with any new Snezhnaya characters by then.
So basically, no one knows. But you'll probably be fine since I'd expect a rerun by 7.5-ish.
•
u/HorribleDat 1h ago
Unless you're asinine about getting absolutely every reward possible:
Stygian - you can get all primos without meta teams
Abyss - you can get most (floor 11) with just good teams, and can always opt to bruteforce 12 if you've got some vertical investment
IT - random bullshit go is often enough
Do you like any of the current stellar characters? (not just the ones that enable it, the ones that can do stella damage like Yae, Cyno, Wrio too) If yes get Odette if not then skip and wait for rerun if you find stella character you like later.

The only stats she really cares about are EM and Crit. The bottom build is better without question.

Obviously the second one that has more CR, CD, and EM.
Mizuki doesn't have any great sets, so VV, new set, Gilded Dreams, or 2pc/2pc of EM sets are all about the same.
But if you're running 2 anemo on the team and can put VV on your second Anemo, then you should do so and run Gilded, 2pc/2pc, or Scarlet Proof on Mizuki.

•
u/burnpsy 27m ago
If your intention is for endgame, Columbina should never have been the first Lunar pull. Columbina is 3rd priority on every Lunar team.
Ineffa is worth a pull to make the Columbina useful. Columbina + Ineffa is the most splashable Lunar duo, working well with a variety of characters in the remaining slots. So she's a sensible pull to salvage that decision.

"Nearby party members" includes Alyosha himself. It doesn't have to be someone else triggering the reaction.
If you're in Abyss and wondering if you can avoid "wasting" the first C1 energy regen, it doesn't actually matter. Just do your rotations normally. It'll trigger again before the second burst anyway.

u/9thdragonkitty 6h ago
Oh no, looks like you accidentally clicked the quickstart button for snezhnaya, which is the current chapter of the main story. They let new players do this so you can participate in the limited events but it is unfortunate. When the game lets you just go back to doing the main quest in order to; mondstat -> liyue -> inazuma etc
Paimon’s voice actor did change within the last year, im not surprised if they haven’t rerecorded all the old content with the new voice

People generally want to enter your world to farm mats for their characters. It typically takes multiple days worth of farming in your own world to get enough mats to level 90 a character. They could also want to fish for the Catch.

People either want to farm your regional specialties - which respawn 48 hours after being collected and are a time gate to character building

she's good for every stellar team as she has decent personal damage and increase stellar damage of active characters by a lot.

1
u/Acadeca HIMARS 8h ago
3 things to note.
First is that there isn't really a must pull character. There are characters that are a good idea to pull, but you can always figure out an alternative.
Second is that as she is that she will eventually rerun. So even if you don't get her now and want to build a team that she happens to be good in sometime down the road, she will rerun probably pretty quickly.
Third is that she is likely to be a part of stellar teams that you are to build. There could be alternative versions (like an anemo or electro stellar archetype support) that could be better for more specific teams, there could be enemies that incentivize other alternatives. We can't know the far future from here.
She is good, but primos are scarce and it might make more sense for your account to get a Flins than an Odette at this time.
