Anemo can break all shields equally but weaker than the other elements

Isnt anemo just gonna swirl the element of the shield?

[@franklinfernandes5593]

@@ollibebs8108 Yes But it does damage shields

[@wahyuwirawan727]

Yes, the weakest but it reversed when you see bunch element in one place. Like multiple abyss mages in different element in one place. Their shield would react each other when swirls.

Yeah, when I’m going down a narrow pole in like the chasm or something, it’s very useful so I don’t fall off.

[@harm0ny_]

I’m actually glad you can’t go off the edge with the alternate sprint because it made that invisible maze in the Sumeru desert so much easier lol.

[@healwithmusica1]

Theres an invisible maze in sumeru!? damn where

[@harm0ny_]

@@healwithmusica1 In the desert at the leftmost waypoint near the Paimon border if you walk off a cliff nearby there will be an invisible path. It only reveals itself slightly when you walk over it. There’s multiple turns and walls and at the end of it there’s a luxurious chest! If you use an alternate sprint, ability like Sayu’s, or the aim mode with a bow character you won’t fall off the edge and will be able to navigate it easier without having to start over.

If you get Lisa to lv80 with 800 EM, she should do around 6.6k per electro-charged tick, and each electro-charged ticks twice. So you can deal 13.2k per lisa attack, and the second tick travels to nearby enemies that have hydro applied to them. It’s an easy way to obliterate Oceanus. edit: Granted Lisa has a 2.5s ICD, so either attack different enemies, or normal attack spam. In my experience, her first and last hit of her normal attack combo will trigger a reaction if you continue to attack on a single enemy. This is useful in a Lisa Bennett combo, as Lisa's normals apply 1U of electro, while Bennett applies 2U. This means that Lisa can trigger 2 overloads before she cleanses an enemy of Bennett's skill pyro application. Yanfei only applies 1U of pyro, so if you were to try and utilize her in an overload team, you would have to swap back and forth for each hit. This includes her normals, charged, skill, and burst. Barbara is a good combo with Lisa, because Barbara and Lisa are both catalyst types that directly attack an enemy, allowing you to easily swap between the two and hit the same enemy, even if they're out of reach normally, like on a tower. This makes it so enemies Klee, Yanfei, and Ningguang can't reach are killable through floors or walls. Mona can also fulfil this role of hydro applicator, but you're better off using her for better things than to just apply hydro for Lisa.

[@Axterix13]

And that hydro domain with the increased cooldown as well. Though Ning also works great as a DPS there, if you have her C2, since that means you can use her elemental skill every 6s (just don't use her burst).

[@lukegillespie4631]

"just get 800 em on a side acc and raise this char" is it really that easy?

2:26 This alt sprints/sayu's e etc are the only things that help mobile players to go through narrow places without falling Like in the Chasm there're ropes, in sumeru there're time challendges with branches + invisible places in GAA, desert

[@Someone-dv7hw]

There's also aiming mode... though not for spells only but just saying. It is way more efficient than the sprints since you can use it indefinetely. Or you can move yourself very slowly just by attacking.

[@heroomorikin]

@@Someone-dv7hw yep aiming also works! But with this alt sprints you get more view

If that is the reason, this is a situation I would like if Hoyo made different gameplay versions for the different devices. IE, let console and PC players go off cliffs, keep the invisible walls for mobile.

[@aliensabb]

Random information that everybody probably knows but I will forget: The final gem things for ascension’s description is based on what the archon of that specific element says at the end of the archon quest. The cryo gem says something about burning the world away, the pyro gem says something about being a warrior. Hydro obviously says something about Justice, Electro eternity, Geo I can’t remember, and anemo and carrying across in the wind. The Traveller’s gem has a simple description with no ‘lore’.

[@fairyskulldust]

The reason why you have to do klees before monas is because you met klee again during mona's story quest! Since klee isn't in the main story and even though majority of the genshin fandom has already met klee they still put you through that, so it makes sense story wise that what you say during mona's story quest implies you already know klee! :D Also just in general for some reasons they hate quests even slightly over lapping even with unimportant npcs who you don't know and never see.

You do such good work, keep up my guy!

[@HyperShiningSliver]

18:00 little fun thing for you Java: any new flying creature if you hit the wings with the ball gadget it works the same way as a bow does and its really dam funny to knock them down using it. Also a good tip for swords only without breaking rules so you can keep on attacking it! Edit: Apprently hitting it in the eye as it charges at you nets the same reason which is just even funnier now.

You can use the wind-blessed harpastum to stun the Aeonblight. Not that it matters as no catalysts use it.

[@Someone-dv7hw]

I have contemplated on the stopping at an edge thing a lot of times seeing how I love Xiao. But. Since most of these cases are E skills and even for an alternate sprint it would be really unfortunate to go off an edge you didn't plan to jump off in the middle of combat. So if anything, that would have to be exlusive for outside combat and still entirely blocked for aiming mode.

So you can build Lisa as dps (her skill multiplier is high)or pure EM. Her reaction damage is really good especially with thundering fury. Mine is built hybrid dps (with some EM) and she does like 6-7k per electro charge tick, 10-12k on overload and 15-17K per hyperbloom while she is doing high damage (17k on charged attacks and 40-58k per skill hold) . If you build her pure EM it will be really good consistent damage especially in fights like oceanid. And her burst will cause reaction damage even when she's off field . And since you have em weapons, let her use it. And considering you have sucrose and Klee +yanfei the thundering fury domain will be cake for you. Just something to try.
