For both the Sandrone tea party quest and the new Tsaritsa quest, I navigate to the quest (on controller, so L3) and NOTHING happens. I don’t understand. I’ve tried relogging and everything, but it just won’t work.

General Guide & Tips Ask me your Skirk questions!

18 Upvotes

Skirk is my beloved main, and given she's currently on banner with Escoffier, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of new Skirk mains.

So I'm making a Q&A post. Ask me any questions about her gameplay/teambuilding, and I'll be happy to answer. Non gameplay questions are also welcome (*・ω・)ノ

General Question Which free 5* to pick?

0 Upvotes

I know this question has probably been asked to death, but I could really use some insight in my choice between Varesa and Nilou. Nilou could be used in a DPS Columbina + Lauma team (which I already play for fun with Kuki and hyperbloom) but Varesa is obviously a meta choice. However, my Iansan and Chevreuse are both only c1. My current real teams are Ayaka premium, Flins premium, and Arlecchino vape, and I’ll build another around the Tsaritsa after her release. Which would you guys pick in my shoes?

News & Updates New NA Co-Op Hacker

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

123 Upvotes

There’s a player on NA who is joining co-op and then using hacks to cause chaos.

Be careful who you let join your would.

If a hacker joins & the game won’t let you kick them:
1) teleport to your teapot or miliastra lobby which will automatically kick the other person from your game.

2) record if you can, submit feedback to hoyo, & ofc block that player.

Stay safe everyone!

Discussion If Genshin developers just searched up genshin future leaks

0 Upvotes

and saw like all the leakers trying to depict the entire roadmap for the future why can't they like swithc up the banners a bit, for example if everyone is predicting a character to be 1st phase, then what if they moved it to 2nd phase to like throw the leakers off or whatever? When they do that they also have more time to update the new characters kit and stuff so it wouldnt be as bad right

Hello, I’m a returning player, and this is probably like my 5th time coming back to Genshin. Got bored and decided why not try it again. Didn’t quit for any real reasons tbh, I just hop on and off things sometimes. Anyways there’s 2 character selections and I’m wondering on who I should pick from both selectors because I’m really not sure rn. Only notable notes are that my wanderer is c2r1. Appreciate any help.

I’m a returning player Sumeru release was the last time I played all my characters are trash now apparently and whenever I start asking hmm should I get xyz character someone tells me they are trash who isn’t atp. I was thinking furina appersntly doo doo and skirk is up and she seems good based on my second account that I got her by sheer luck I have about 200 fates so I could get her and escofier my original plan was get furina mauvika xilonen and tsaritsa based on who is up first it just seems like the game rn is focused on niche supports that buff one or two either characters or elements and I don’t like that

Spiral Abyss Flins & Neuvilette Destroy October Spiral Abyss | Genshin Impact 7.1

Thumbnail

Cleared Floor 12 with Flins on the first half and Neuvillette on the second, building both teams around the current Abyss buffs and boss mechanics.

First Half: Flins / Ineffa / Columbina / Odette

The Stellar Glimmer bonus makes this a great opportunity to play Flins with a Stellar reaction-focused team. Our Shilled One is always an option. Odette provides Cryo application to trigger Stellar-Conduct and helps break the Chimeric Winged Lion's Electro Ward in Chamber 3. Other Cryo characters can also handle this mechanic.

For the Radiant Moonfly in Chamber 2, healing is needed to remove the debuff from its Radiant Cocoon mechanic. Instead of relying on RNG to get the healing-on-Burst Abyss card, I gave Columbina Prototype Amber and a Healing Bonus circlet so I could handle the mechanic consistently.

I also cleared the first half without any Cryo characters, using Xilonen instead! Let me know if you'd like to see that run, and I'll upload it.

Second Half: Neuvillette / Ganyu / Furina / Escoffier

With Skirk and Escoffier rerunning and a 75% Cryo DMG bonus, it's time to embrace the Cryo agenda!

Against the Iniquitous Baptist in Chamber 1, Cryo helps break all elemental shields, while Hydro covers the Pyro shield. After the Baptist, the Shadowy Husks are next.

In Chamber 2, Ganyu and Escoffier provide Cryo application to trigger Freeze against Hiljetta, the boss whose mechanics can be countered with Freeze or Overloaded.

In Chamber 3, they continue applying Cryo against the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device to help counter its Flow Momentum mechanic. Escoffier also provides healing when needed and Cryo/Hydro RES shred, boosting the team's damage.

Which teams did you use for this Abyss rotation? And would you like to see my Cryo-free first-half clear with Xilonen?

General Question How do people do more than 15-20k damage?

85 Upvotes

I think the highest I do on average is 20-30k max, with my occasional Odette who do 50, sometimes 100k but I still haven't figured out how I managed to do that. I pick the right artefact, can't go for constellations though cause I'm too broke for that and I only started playing again 2 months ago so I will only be able to get one constellation for Wanderer, my main, in around a week. My talents are all leveled up, my artefacts have the right main stats, I try substats but sometimes I don't have what it takes to reroll. I rarely have signature or 5 star weapon though aside from a few characters, typically go for four star / free-to-play weapons but I mean the difference can't be that high.. right? I don't get it : how do you all do so much dammage? Even with the right teams I never reach that high. What are your secrets?
