Earliest Pity of my LIFE [Genshin Impact Spells Only]

Nahida and Xianyun both have a banner in version 4.4 of Genshin. We were able to get Xianyun on the account last time, so this time we spent a couple wishes seeing if we could get lucky... and then something very unexpected happened
This is inspired by my own Swords Only playthrough we currently have running on the channel. That account is at a point where we just need to farm domains to further build characters, so with plenty of catalyst-wielding characters on the horizon, it's time to begin this journey as well.

I love how Java decides to lvl 90 a character that doesn't get too much from it yet nahida is still at lvl 81 hahahah

No

huh? he got nahida way back in 3.2, she's more built than xianyun

[@vladdymeal]

I think they mean the fact Nahida's level 90 matters a lot more than Xianyun's since Nahida's damage is all spread which scales with character level@@bbysiea

[@Foxtronaute]

Do you already have ideas on what you will do when catalyst only will be over ? Your teams are getting stronger each episodes and I can see the 36* in the abyss coming soon. Was thinking to a "No Resin Account" where all your characters are stuck at lvl 40 (cuz impossible to farm bosses) and you can only use artefacts you find in chest and get during quests. For all the rest you have the Parametric Transformer, dailies, quests, birthday mails, etc... It sounds like a type of challenge that requires a lot of creativity and you wouldn't be stuck in the open world because of puzzle like you are often with your other challenge accounts.

YAYYY JAVA THE CUP VIDEO

[@amandaslough125]

You know Java, with all your accounts that need regular resources, if you invested any time in the teapot, you could buy mora and books from free in game currency every week. And since you're not "playing" them, you're using them like you would the crafting passives, you could put the rejects in the teapot for friendship farming. Which will also open up a LOT of extra primos on top of achievements. (You get 20x2 per character when chatting within their respective furniture set, and most sets are used for like 4-8 characters).

[@FlFI_17]

Don't you think it would be a bit better to wish on weapon banner? As you want to wish that bad (gacha addiction kicking) building pity at character banner is not the smartest move as they might be 4star catalyst that you want and the pity would be that built that you would just get the event 5star character (which probably wouldn't be the catalyst) and the current weapon banner have 2 rate up catalyst so I think it is just overall better idea

[@sdsgnitromax8632]

OMG Java news Twitch references flowing into KZbin!

[@Nowaylarry]

Yes artifacts are rng while talents are guaranteed upgrades. That said, artifacts are more than half of a characters total stats. Additionally past level 6, talent levels are generally less than a 4% damage increase for that one particular talent (even less of a impact on total team damage per rotation). That is basically equivalent to one relevant offensive substat roll. So generally the optimal priority is; Weapon ascension and level, character ascension, artifacts (main stats), talents (until level 6), character level, artifacts (substats/set bonus), talents (level 9 or 10 where it makes sense to crown), artifacts (min-maxing substats). There are exceptions of course for things like characters that get higher value out of specific artifact sets (Furina with golden troupe or Kazuha and VV for example) where having the set bonus early on can make a massive difference. Additionally there are a few characters that don't care about base atk and can make weapon level a lower priority (unless they need the ER from a weapon). As a side note, in your quicken team you will probably get more out of plunging with Yae (provided her normal attack talent is leveled). More field time on her will also bring the benefit of lowering her ER needs (her burst has no ICD so all hits can aggravate).

[@spike_number_infinity]

[@marcie2779]

@itzKhal but he's building her as a support, and as such, she wouldn't have much crit, and he would be doing the single charge of her skill just for VV and particles. Any character can do good damage if you build them right.
