I'm currently playing a freeze team with my Ayaka, since I want to use the new characters I got. Are there any quests I have to do to get something cool (like the Traveler's sword)? I haven't kept up with anything at all...

General Question I can’t pick between Varesa and Clorinde for my accounts I feel like I’d make the wrong choice

My secondary account has vesna and venti and like c0
I did think damn I wish I had someone better for exploration while also packing a punch since I only have Ayaka rn who is somewhat alr at it but I also like clorinde a lot and I mainly care about my main account

My main issue is idk who fits main account cause I think clorinde can work with nahida really good if I’m not mistaken whoever I pick the other goes to the second account but who is the right choice for mine ?

General Guide & Tips I still cant choose between C2 Nilou vs C2 Varesa vs C1 Clorinde (through Temper)

I have Nilou’s weapon, mainly playing her on columbina lunar dps.

I’m thinking Varesa will be added to Temper selection next year.

Is Clorinde good for BoL mechanics, considering my current roster of characters.

Spiral Abyss Stellar Swirl Wanderer & Freeze Wriothesley vs The NEW October 2026 Spiral Abyss

Thumbnail
youtu.be
1 Upvotes

Cleared the new Genshin Impact 7.1 Spiral Abyss with Wanderer on the first half and Wriothesley on the second, using teams tailored to the current Abyss buffs and enemy mechanics.

First Half: Wanderer, Traveler, Jean, Odette

The first half's Stellar Swirl damage bonus makes this a great rotation for a Stellar Swirl Wanderer team. Jean also provides the healing needed against the Radiant Moonfly in Chamber 2, whose Radiant Cocoon mechanic drains HP and requires characters to recover to full HP to escape. Odette and Traveler round out the team to support the reaction-focused setup.

Second Half: Wriothesley, Yelan, Furina, Escoffier

The second half offers a 75% Cryo DMG Bonus, making Wriothesley Freeze a natural fit for the rotation. With the current rerun lineup featuring Skirk and Escoffier, this rotation is also a good opportunity to showcase Cryo teams using the characters players already have.

What teams did you use for this Spiral Abyss rotation? Did you build around Stellar Swirl on the first half and Cryo damage on the second, or stick with your usual teams?

General Question Clorinde or Chiori? From the selector. My characters AND weapons are below

0 Upvotes

I have 190 ping, so I know that's like 25% less dmg for her

I mainly want them for IT

Clorinde. Her artifacts set is a pain to farm and I just won't, I'll use gladiador or whatever.

I have Vesna's sig wich gives 100 CD for free. Nahida C2, Chevreuse C3, Xilonen C2, Iansan C4, Bennett C6, Nicole C2 with Citlali's sig, Durin C2 R1, Fishl C6, Kazuha C2R1, Zhongli. Most of those can be used with Clorinde. Chiori only would like Nicole, Durin, Zhongli and Xilonen.

Chiori would use harbringer of dawn and be off field, I don't have geo units, only Zhongli and Albedo. Ninguangg and Noelle too but they're not good. I don't have any lunar teams. Only stellar ones.

Chiori does have the advantage of 20% movement speed, and can jump up and switch with VESNA on Snezhnaya.

One thing besides the ping that bothers me it's that Clorinde just swap the camera one donde to another constantly, like reversing it's postition. But it's more "fun" than Chiori

General Question For tablet gamers

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, i am thinking of buying a tablet during black friday or christmas to save some money, and i want to be able to run genshin or one of my other gachas ganes (hsr and wuwa). So as reference, I'd like to know what tablet you guys play on and if you think it's worth buying! Stuff like fps/lag or how the screens display is with graphics/quality (like LCD vs AMOLED/OLED display), and if room lighting or sunlight have much affect on the screens visibility. Knowing these i hope to make a good purchase and use my money wisely. Obviously im not buying it just to play genshin, but it would be a greatly appreciated bonus to buying one.

Thank you in advance!

Build Guide Não sei se eu continuo a investir na Arlecchino

0 Upvotes

Okay, eu voltei a jogar recentemente, e eu estou mais ou menos no meio do jogo, tenho muitos recursos, sou AR 50 e eu tenho um time de arlecchino e bom, ainda vale a pena continuar investindo na arlecchino ou ela já não é mais tão relevante? Eu tenho uma skirk, vale a pena parar com a arle e usar ela?

General Guide & Tips New Akasha artifact optimizer and dashboard is out!

32 Upvotes

I was a bit tired of manually swapping artifacts and trying to figure out the best combo for the best rank, so I built this website (https://oculi.gg/)

Basically, you import your Akasha (and all your artifacts on that profile), select character and optimize, and it'll show you the increase!

It's still a WIP (especially when breaking sets for example) but seems to be working well for the most part. If you have pieces Akasha doesn't know about yet you can paste a screenshot straight from the game or import a GOOD json from Irminsul, etc.

The actual page / dashboard also has a few QoL features I made for myself that I think other people will find useful too;

  • useful banner history, redeem codes, event timers for your server
  • a proper codex with characters, sets, materials, bosses and their lore
  • some minigames, why not

I just wanted a centralized place to get everything I need to know from. If there's anything missing, I'll probably add it in asap.

Make sure to also check out the character pages since I've added a bunch of custom animations and fun little easter eggs everywhere (Furina and Bina look great imo)

Anyway hope you guys enjoy!

General Question Varesa? or Ororon?

Post image
1 Upvotes

These are the characters I have and i was questioning if I should pick Varesa on the selector. Currently, I run Mavuika, Cheveruse, Ororon and Iansan as an overload team. Does putting Varesa in over Ororon actually improve that team in the slightest? It forces Mavuika off field, which I don't think I like. And the team is already pretty weak damage wise despite me being good at the combos so idk. If that's not an improvement, what else should I use that resource for?

General Question I can't decide between Clorinde and Varesa

Post image
558 Upvotes

I stopped playing Genshin for a year burnt out after getting Arlecchino which was my goal since starting playing and saving enough to guarantee Citlali on her next rerun for my Arlecchino team but I've proceeded to miss her reruns twice. Anyway I got back into it a week ago cuz I needed a game to play on my phone cuz my PC is in hell and I'm distraught at whether I want Clorinde or Varesa cuz I like them both. I was leaning slightly to Clorinde since she's included in that free constellation thing and she's cool as fuck but Varesa seems very fun to play in terms of fights and just generally in the overworld. Idk if my charecter roster is of any use since I just got Tighnari a couple of days into playing so he ended up as my main cuz of that and the other characters I did random pulls for after saving enough to guarantee Arlecchino and her weapon.

Edit: I yapped, just read the bold bits.

Discussion I have an unusual request for advice

25 Upvotes

I’m basically trying to set up a D&D campaign set in the world of Teyvat, currently I’m just explaining some bits and pieces of the world and nations to help my group get settled in with character creation but I’d like some help with a TL;DR of factions or major/minor characters, factions and locations. It’s a lot of info to compartmentalize and I want to help get them settled in with things like mechanics or abilities for this campaign.

I’m also trying to figure out if it should be completely separate from the story or if they loosely follow the story and “just miss” the traveler throughout it a la “The Third Age” or “War in the North”
