anyone have any beginner tips? i feel like i'm barely muddling along, i keep having to do boss fights two and three times
babygirl
nobody has enough goddamned hit points
train bitch (+)
........no but EVERY TIME i see "hsr" i parse it as home star runner and i don't think that'll ever recondition in my brain, sigh.
babygirl
hahaha oh man. NOT the same, unfortunately
train bitch (+)
no, and i correct myself quickly, but that moment of confusion does not seem to. be going away and it's been years now lol
train bitch (+)
nor is the looping flash animatic music that plays in my brain for the next however long

ummm, do you have levelled light cones or relics?
nameless
most of the early game struggles can be overcome with having ANY gear with more levels in it, regardless of stats
babygirl
no...? I have a vague understanding that light cones are equippable but i didn't know i had to level them separately
nameless
yeah, those are your equipped weapons, and where most of your raw hp comes from!
babygirl
ok well THAT makes sense then, everyone can take about four hits and then they bite it, and march can't keep up with shielding everybody
♣ copy chip
the things you can level are: the character, the light cone, traces, and relics
♣ copy chip
relics aren't as important until you can start farming gold relics, but you get hp from character and light cone levels iirc
♣ copy chip
traces contribute to damage
babygirl
That makes so much more sense. covers face w hands
babygirl
NO WONDER
mydeimos.
ksdeajf IT'S OKAY IT'S NOT REALLY EVIDENT especially if you're not coming from a previous hoyo property that functions roughly along the same path
♣ copy chip
idk if this is relevant but you CAN equip light cones that are the wrong path on your characters, you just don't get the light cone's description bonus
babygirl
i have played genshin impact for maybe 45 minutes in my whole life and that's it
♣ copy chip
you will still get the hp and atk from the light cone
babygirl
ooooh
mydeimos.
oh shit i did not know that and i've been playing since launch..
♣ copy chip
that might help you boost hp and attack if you don't have enough leveling mats or enough light cones
mydeimos.
head in hands
♣ copy chip
yeah one of castorice's better light cones are abundance LCs bc of the utter lack of remembrance LCs
mydeimos.
the other main beginner tip is rn i wouldn't worry too much about the details of the characters/their kits, just worry about matching an enemy's weakness to the characters you're bringing into a fight
mydeimos.
and remembering to level your traces as well, which unlock other skills that can help you with the fights, too
babygirl
ok! thank you guys, this is extremely helpful
♣ copy chip
it's good to know roughly how the abundance or preservation characters work because those are the healers/shielders, but they tend to be rather straightforward in general
babygirl
i just want to join you in your enthusiasm for the apparently six hundred and thirty four characters that are in this game
♣ copy chip
march's shield lets her proc attacks, and she can only follow up attack when that shield is hit twice per turn
mydeimos.
kldsjfakldjflajf
mydeimos.
there are so many characters, there's a blorbo for everyone if you look hard enough
mydeimos.
anyway i think you'd like jiaoqiu
babygirl
WHEN DO I GET ADVENTURINE, AMMAY. SHAKES MY PHONE AGGRESSIVELY!!
mydeimos.
he's a doctor and a cook
mydeimos.
KL:SJDFLDJFDFJDF NOT UNTIL THE THIRD? PLANET
♣ copy chip
LMAO
babygirl
BOOOOOOO
mydeimos.
oh his voice shows up at the end of some other quest
♣ copy chip
1.5's interlude quest right? future market?
mydeimos.
but i didn't pay attention at the time b/c i was like "ugh, who's this motherfucker"
mydeimos.
yeah!
babygirl
hahahaha
mydeimos.
the one where topaz shows up
mydeimos.
you don't understand in the space of one patch i went from "i hate him, i loathe him, i want him off my screen" to "this is my blorbo babygirl who has done everything wrong"
babygirl
i'm looking forward to jiaoqiu
babygirl
HAHAHA
mydeimos.
he's after,.. aventurine god i'm so sorry there's so much
mydeimos.
ratio shows up after topaz tho, iirc
babygirl
there is so much Game in this game, i'm kind of blown away
♣ copy chip
oh yeah, idk if you're like me and didn't bother reading to figure out what all the paths mean but

destruction: general dps, can do solo and AOE hits and usually have a bit of HP manip in their kits
erudition: AOE attackers, have kits that incentivize hitting multiple enemies
the hunt: solo attackers, they basically only hit 1 enemy at a time really hard
♣ copy chip
nihility: debuffers and DOT dealers
♣ copy chip
abundance: healers
preservation: shielders
♣ copy chip
remembrance: summoners, they can do various things tho
♣ copy chip
not all characters with summons are remembrance tho
♣ copy chip
topaz, jing yuan and fugue have summons but are not remembrance
♣ copy chip
oh yeah, harmony: buffers
babygirl
casually likes my own plurk for future reference lmsdfk
♣ copy chip
you do need to know how to build a team in this game, but if you're just clearing the story it's about as far as making sure your characters can live in a fight LOL
babygirl
yeah, I don't even really have that option yet, March and Dan Heng are still Required Buddies
♣ copy chip
the starting characters make a good team, since tb is destruction, dh is hunt and march is preservation
♣ copy chip
that's double dps and a sustainer (term for healer/shielder)
babygirl
I added Himeko for some fire damage too, I got her in a pull
♣ copy chip
HIMEKO GOOD
babygirl
oh good lmao
♣ copy chip
she's erudition so she's an AOE attacker
♣ copy chip
she has a counter where if you weakness break enemies 3 times she'll do a follow up attack
babygirl
yessss it's extremely useful
♣ copy chip
elite enemies count for more points
♣ copy chip
but yes when you get herta she usually pairs well with himeko
♣ copy chip
(not to be confused with The herta, the 5 star version LMAO)
babygirl
I do have herta already, this is good to know
♣ copy chip
herta's follow up attack procs when an enemy's hp goes below half by an ally attack
♣ copy chip
and it can stack so if her FUA causes another enemy to drop below half she continues to spin
♣ copy chip
kurukuru~
♣ copy chip
oh wait lemme give you my id
♣ copy chip
bc when you start activating calyxes you can borrow a friend's units to farm mats

babygirl
i think i have a few calyxes activated? are they were you fight enemies
babygirl
also what's a mat
♣ copy chip
material
babygirl
ahhhhhh thank u
♣ copy chip
calyxes drop mats for trace leveling, but iirc one of the first you unlock is for farming credits or character exp i think
♣ copy chip
i should probably swap my support characters off the rat team but. LMAO
mydeimos.
oh yeah i can get you mine too!
babygirl
please!
mydeimos.

mydeimos.
yeah sky, go put castorice on there
♣ copy chip
LMAO yeah i put robin, the herta and castorice on mine
♣ copy chip
WOMEN.
babygirl
omfg, i can level up the characters with items too
babygirl
drags hands down face
babygirl
i've been trying to grind my way up by fighting shit
babygirl
suddenly much becomes clear
♣ copy chip
oh yeah, if it isn't evident yet, you HAVE to level with items
♣ copy chip
it doesn't play like a regular jrpg where you can level up by fighting constantly
♣ copy chip
it's a gacha game, unfortunately
♣ copy chip
fighting overworld mobs is actually useless lmao
babygirl
i was like 'WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS' bitch it's because. you don't know how games work
♣ copy chip
NO IT'S TOTALLY FINE if you've never played a gacha game before you might not realize this!
babygirl
i've played other types of gacha games, just not like this
♣ copy chip
okay, in fairness i don't play other gacha games so idk if hoyo games are different, but i did play fgo and they used items to level so i thought that might be a gacha standard
babygirl
i've played more AFK style games where you don't have to level everybody
♣ copy chip
your active team should definitely be leveled, but you don't want to try to level every character you get, unless you know you're going to use them
♣ copy chip
leveling mats are time gated, so you have to be picky about how you spend them
babygirl
ooooh okay
babygirl
i'm doing my first calyx thing now, since. i finally solved the mystery of how to fight the level 16 guys at level 6 and it's that You Don't
♣ copy chip
LMAO
♣ copy chip
you could probably borrow a friend's character and wipe the calyxes real quick
♣ copy chip
oh, btw, if you get fuels, save them for now. they give you trailblazer points which is the time gated stamina bar for farming leveling mats
babygirl
okay omg i'm so glad i made this plurk, now i'm both taking and doing a reasonable amount of damage
mydeimos.
babygirl
im in the Fight Club
