woohoo finally got Ganyu after trying x1 draws with my very last remaining gems!!
got shocked when I saw the meteor turned yellow..



gonna spend my resources upgrading her after this!

thanks2.. didn't expect also.. but this time I got top up a bit and bought battle pass also just to get more gems.
Not gonna do it again next time lol.

Hope Hu Tao banner will have enough gem to get her, will definitely save up a lot this time.

just skip both and go for Hu Tao if not yet have Diluc or Klee.. easy

Pyro is sooo important to disable shields, destroy wooden shields, AoE attack, and combo for elemental reactions in this game.

they will provide more XP books as you ascend the world level.
I'm currently at World level 7, and they drop 5-6 purple XP books each time now, together with the smaller XP books.
just do the daily 4 commission missions (and other quests when you have time) and you'll gradually reach there.

and Genshin has many events that provide XP books.. so just be on lookout for them.

nvm, at least next featured banned you'll surely get the featured 5* first. Qiqi really not bad.. at least better than Barbara as healer.
Hate how my Barbara makes my whole team wet once cast her skill. Elemental and freeze reaction magnet.

I'm still guessing Hu Tao will be in 1.4

If they released at end of 1.3 many will rage for not announcing. There are many western players in this game so they wouldn't care about CNY superstition

if true then sadding.. not sure if I can pull Ganyu in such a short time
will hoard all the gems in the game after this..

cant wait for tmmrw's patch!

yup2.. will even try for Diluc if it's really him.. I just want a 5* pyro hero lol

last abyss could only complete Floor 9 coz I have Xiangling only for pyro.. not willing to spend my resources upping Amber
really mampos coz all of the enemies in floor 9-12 all is ice based

Got video saying Xiao is OP DPS liao

Wah cool stuff.. Can turn unused mats to something valuable.

Didn't know as I seldom follow genshin youtubers. Everything is op for these people haha.

guess earlier video is wrong, Reddit players saying Xiao is underwhelming right now... best thing he can do is plunging from sky high with zero damage

https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/com...ayer_right_now/

don't like that when he activates his Q, it drains his HP too after spamming those plunge attacks.

I use Albedo.. need to keep pick up those Crystallize shards before he kame-kame ha. The boss can change elements if u notice his color before he shoots. If you pickup matching crystal, it will deflect more damage to the boss. Other crystallize element also can just that deflect back less damage.

Using Noelle or Zhongli "talent" shield also can deflect back the damage to the boss. Full character list and their talent shields here:

=====

Good to have a shield character on your team la.. I super like Albedo in my team as he improves my team's survivability by a lot in any battles. Really worth to get him last time. When I compare my level 80 Ganyu now and him.. I feel Albedo is more worth it. I have 2 defense stat artifacts on him which really boost his E by a lot. He is like an all round support character that boost defense and damage for the team.

After getting Ganyu.. I feel her biggest problem is always getting interrupted when charging shots.. my last time getting a bow user hahahah She's still strong la maybe I need to get use to her play style more.. maybe shoot further away.

yes these things are rare sigh.. hope we can get more else so hard to craft and dupe weapons

I using Harbinger of Dawn on Albedo. Easy for me as I have Jean with Festering Desire can easily spam heal.

I just use Albedo for his E, his Q is just bonus. Never use him as auto attacker as will switch to DPS Childe for that.
The sword works perfect on him. Don't think too much of it as a 3*. Dupe it to 5 and just smack that sword on Albedo

Wait for a better 4* sword in the future as his BiS weapon.. as of now HoD is the best for him as support.

imo he is the best support in my team. I have 2 artifacts at level 20 now with %defense stats, plus 1 %geo damage artifact and geo artifact set.. Once he throw down that E skill the damage proc per hit in that circle is crazyyy man... is like equal to another DPS person helping me hit the enemy lol And that E skill recharge time is super low so it is always 100% on the field.

Downside is that E skill is a construct.. doesn't work on most bosses as they will destroy it. And on Hydro boss cant work also as it will disappear on the hydro magic floor. For Abyss will still work so he's good to boost a weaker team.

Yes esp when vs fire and ice boss.. One swing from them will destroy the construct already. Useless on wolf boss also he will keep destroy it.

My Albedo using Archaic Petra 4 set. Picking up crystals will boost damage towards an element.

When you vs enemy with an element type also will help. Such as mages, slime etc.

Yea im using Childe so I find it drops often for me. They drop alot with Fishcl and Ganyu too.

But it still provides protection towards that element. Hence why Albedo is not only an attack support but a defense as well.

You may argue that Noblesse is better as second set but his Q damage isn't that high. As for defenders will artifacts there are no 5* pieces currently. Only 4*.

Yea.. I checked a few others too and most say 4 piece archaic is best on him (provided that u pick up crystals and have one active all the time).

Saw another improvement for my Albedo.. Circlet with crit %.. Will take this note down

I find that using condense resins will help alot. Less time needed to farm them as we'll get then in doubles x2.

Only negative is farming those fireflies.. They fly away damn fast. These days I fly from top towards them.. Will guarantee a catch easier.

What free 4* should I pick once it’s out for liyue? Xin Yan a good choice? As I don’t have her yet. The rest I unlocked liao.

Ningguang also I have C1 already. Not sure who should I go for. I’m lacking pyro now as I only have Amber and Xiangling.
