Stuck... sure

Ascended my boy Razor again and got him to level 50, finally getting to level-up his abilities in the process. I also managed to ascend his Prototype Aminus and got that to level 40. The extra damage he's dishing out is quite noticeable. Think I'm mostly gonna be exploring Liyue, hunting Geoculus, and doing dailies over the next few days, quest stuff can wait 'til the weekend when I've got more time.



Also, in a not so wise move, I blew all my primogems on the standard banner the day before the new Klee banner drops. Got a four star bow. I don't use any archers. 

Oh well.

Sitting on 8 acquaints and debating splurging the primogems for a go of a banner. Also noted that Amber is in the shop and I'm pretty much maining her.

I have mixed feelings about the numberwang aspect of this. There obviously needs to be a certain amount of numberwang to support the gatcha and endgame content but it feels like there is more numberwang than is strictly necessary and it sticks out because is based on the non-numberwangy BOTW.

Really enjoying it though.

If only it wasn't fucking anime yap yap

Just popped a few Intertwined Fates and got Klee. I beat the Rate-Up banner pity rate with 76 rolls in total (already had 72 rolls on Venti), but I didn't really want Klee. I was gonna stop at 80 rolls and see who was heading the next banner, with pity all primed to go at 90. 

Dammit. 

Might as well carry on rolling this banner now and see if I can get Sucrose.

Yeah he's gone. Fingers crossed he'll be back as one of the supporting cast of another Rate-Up banner somewhere down the road.

Besides Klee, the other five-star characters available in the current Rate-Up banner are Mona, Diluc, Keqing, Qiqi, and Jean.

I am very close around 80 I think, I dont want klee though....

I'm desperate for big sword dps, I have great support/dps in fisch and xiangling (both 4 constellations), but I'm short of the star glitter for Razor.

Trying to take on a geo hypostasis with a low level single constellation Noell is no fun.

I got lucky with Razor, he was my first character drop from the standard banner. He's fantastic for single target DPS, but he does have a very selfish playstyle. His elemental skill and burst both disappear if you switch characters, and his skill needs you to commit to landing successive hits to make the most of it. 

It all leads you into kinda maining Razor if you have him in your party and want to get the best from him, which then leads into needing a team built around supporting him specifically.

I've only used Sucrose in the trial but yeah she's great! I'll definitely roll for her when I've built up more primogems. 

I've levelled my accidental Klee to 20 but can't ascend her atm. Thought I might as well use the only 5-star I've got (besides the Traveler), and yeah she's actually a lot of fun. Her AoE is obviously great, but her burst does a real number on tougher single targets. 

If I can get Sucrose I might be able to make a decent team around her and Klee.

I've been playing this most of the day and loving it. 

I finally settled on a crack squad of Fish, Sucrose, Jean and Xiangling. I had Barbara in the 4th slot because Electric and Water is a 2.0x damage multiplier, but she was doing nothing other than wetting em up and bouncing out the rotation. Plus Jean can heal, so, yeah.

I've leveled my mains along with their weapons as high as i can go before the enhancement materials are from specific day of the week dungeons and big bosses, which i'll chip away at. No rush for those just yet. I can handle anything the open world throws at me at Tier 2.

Top tip: Don't get too invested in too many characters. Pick your favourites and spend your XP boost materials on those - make them strong and viable. And forget tier lists. Play who's fun! 

Also, set up an Exploration squad and save it into the second slot. You want 2 Anemo characters for the stamina boost, Amber for gliding and Beidou for broadswoard (and swimming). Its not essential, but it makes stamina management in the early game soooooo much easier.

I spent today clearing all the World Quests i'd been stockpiling. Decent XP when you see them to completion. Put me up to AR29. 

Now i'm just playing the campaign which is alot slower because of the dialogue, character introductions, back & forth etc. But its okay, i fancied a chilled evening. 

Do yourself a favour and buy that £4.49, 30 day boon. Its pennies per day, assuming you take the time to log in and do the daily missions. It takes 5 mins and you get a Wish every day as a result. Thats crazy compared to the prices of their gem bundles.

Wooft the game just ramped up some of the baddies in quests. Also ill echo that £4.49 deal. Dropping a wish every day.

World Tier 1? Yeah, before that it was plain sailing and easy-breezey mode. 

Now you have to think about your team, their elements versus what enemies are onscreen, otherwise it'll be immune or you'll be chipping away all day.

Fuck!! I just spunked today's Primogems from all these hours of playing and got 2 Noelle's. Maybe the game is telling me something? But she's a tank with passive heals. I don't need that right now.

@stormy - I am so jealous of your Klee. Big Pyro output is hard to come by! If you're running her with Xiang the 25% ATK bonus is probably why you're seeing big damage numbers, even underlevelled.

Also, Elemental Resonance is great, until you realise both your Anemo favourites require the same ascension materials. lol! One at a time i guess. Jean is first of course! 5 stars are ranked that way for a reason. And yes their constellations will take forever, but on the field they are deadly!
