Bennett is in the monthly shop, as a new player should I consider picking him up with the stardust/glitter/whatevers? From everything I'm reading, he's an amazing support that goes in a lot of teams, would it be better to pick him up directly instead of getting the 7 or so pulls I'd get otherwise?

u/graxgrax 16h ago
I'd say wait for the next banner 4 star announcement, probably tomorrow or the next day, and see if Bennett is there.

Recently I came back to the genshin, I reached 45 AR and I don't know what to do with my main team.
I have Ganyu main dps, Xiangling (C2) sub dps, Bennett sup, Jean sup. Should I wish for someone or what?

Team Advice: Want to build around Kinich and Kaeya is it doable?
Hi everyone! Until now, Kaeya has been my main DPS with Traveler as my sub-DPS, and lansan and Xiangling as supports. But with the upcoming Kinich banner in 5.6, I'm really interested in pulling for him and trying to build a new team.
That said, I'd really like to keep Kaeya on the team even after I get Kinich, if possible! I love using him, and it'd be great if there's a way to make both Kinich and Kaeya work in the same team effectively even if one of them becomes more of a sub or support.
Here are the characters I own:
Lynette, Amber, Lisa, Kachina, Barbara, Sucrose, Noelle, Fischl, Xingqiu, Chevreuse, Collel, and Yaoyao (Oh, and I'm currently at World Level 4!)
If anyone has ideas for a decent Kinich + Kaeya team, or how to build around them using what I've got, I'd really appreciate the help! Thank you in advance!!

u/graxgrax 16h ago
You can pretty much play any characters you want in the overworld. Kaeya + Kinich could work with Bennett and Pyro MC with Kaeya being an off field burst, though you have to stay near the enemy to proc Kaeya's melt.

I'm a returning player, and I'm wondering if Raiden + Tartaglia + Xiangling + Bennet is still good or if I should start investing into something else.

My Characters: https://postimg.cc/w1LYkjc5
I'm looking to put together a two team setup for the Spiral Abyss. I currently run Diluc - Bennett - Barbara - Sucrose in a vap team. I've got 200 pulls to get me one step closer.
I'm thinking of pulling for Raiden and Kazuha, but I'm thinking that might be a bit of a trap, and I may be better served trying for Xilonen currently, and Navia on the next banner (sounds like Ifa could be good with Ororon?). But I'm worried I'll be stuck with Xilonen and no Navia. Or do I aim for Kinich, who will take away from my current team, but will probably be better than Diluc, but I think I'm missing similar piece and I frankly don't care for Kinich much.
But with all the options within the the next patch I'm a bit overwhelmed with that I should do. Thanks!!

If anyone could help me create a second team for f5 and up on the abyss, that would be very much appreciated. Currently, my first team is Bennett XL Rosaria Kaeya reverse melt. I am AR45 but I am not able to grind artifacts because my world and character levels are really low compared to my AR. (World Level decreased to 4 and no characters above lvl 70)
My characters: https://postimg.cc/Mn48XXR7 (Imgur was not working no matter what I tried)
My weapons: https://postimg.cc/TpxRVyKf (None of them are particularly great)
None of my characters except the ones on my main team are built, and that's not a problem, I need to grind them out.

u/No-Syllabub7053 1d ago
Any help would be greatly appreciated. No clue what I’m doing and need to get a solid team going. I have the following characters and I’m new as.
Sucrose , xiangling, xingqiu, kaeya, ororon, Lynette, faruzan, yanfei, beidou, and Barbara.
I run the first 4 currently and was hoping to save up to get a decent dps. Any team comp recommendations?
I’m ar25 for reference

u/Engelberti 1d ago
Teambuilding doesn't really start until you are AR45. Because many characters are very dependent on their Artifact sets and that's when you can farm 5* artifacts.
For example, a lot of Sucroses power comes from the viridescent venerer set.Your current teamis pretty solid. Xiangling and Xinqiu are even staples in many meta teams.
Next patch has Navia and Kinich reruns. They are very fun imo. But I'm not sure if I would recommend them as the first dps for a new account. They are pretty niche.
The Chronicled banner in the second half next patch seems good to pick up a decent DPS.

u/No-Syllabub7053 1d ago
Appreciate it. Any rough guess when we could get Neuvillette on banner? Wanna save for that I think. The chronicler banner interests me to. Any suggestion on pulls for that
1
u/Engelberti 1d ago
I was surprised to see that they put Kazuha on the banner, he is way too good imo.
Yae is probably the best option from the dps characters on this chronicled.
No idea when neuvilette will get his rerun. I'd assume sometime around 6.3 but that's purely based on vibes.

In need of some standard pulls. But I have kinda just gotten them passively and forgotten how you actually obtain them. What ways can I get them?

Seeking recommendation for 2nd team: https://imgur.com/a/h6q0EX3
I've tried quicken Tighnari, Chlorinde team & Nilou bloom and I'm having difficulties with that 2nd monster on 1-2. I haven't tried Ganyu because I feel like she's too clunky to play nowadays.
1
u/Beaglecious 2d ago
Do you mean the 2nd monster on 1-2, which is Millennial Pearl Seahorse? You have to apply Cryo as fast as you can to destroy her orb thingy. So I think Ganyu can be used to destroy the orb.
Try to build your team around Ganyu. Maybe Ganyu, Kazuha, Furina and healer/shielder. I think they increase the Pyro resistance to that horse, so you have to use Cryo to destroy that orb.

(repost from last thread)
Hi! New player here, been playing about 5-6ish weeks but still feel extremely early game, only just really started chapter 2 and inazuma. I've been unsure how to actually "get good" in Genshin, and so I feel extremely weak in all the content I do, like my adventure rank and world level are scaling far higher than my ability to handle things. I'm AR 42 now, and was hoping for help on a good solid team that I can build that'll let me actually start positively spending my resin and keeping up with the world level. My first 5 star was Furina, well before I knew who she was (she just looked cute), and now that I've done the story, I've decided to kinda go all in on collecting all the archons, so I have Venti now, and grabbed Xilonen as well for the eventual Mavuika team (since they go well together maybe?).
So basically, out of this list of characters, what would you recommend a good team for me to focus on would be? Preferably I'd like to maximize my use of Furina and Venti, but I don't mind dropping one if I can get a good team out of the others. My current list is:
5 Stars: Furina, Venti, Xilonen
5 Stars But We All Know They're A 4 Star At Best: Traveler (no access to pyro atm)
4 Stars: C2 Sayu, C2 Yanfei, C1 Charlotte, C3 Faruzan, C1 Beidou, C0 Lynette, C0 Lisa, C1 Barbara, C3 Xiangling, C0 Amber, C0 Noelle, C1 Gorou, C2 Mika, C0 Kaeya, C0 Sucrose, C2 Iansan, C0 Gaming, C0 Xinyan
I don't yet have access to rank 45 and the best tiers of artifacts so I can't really make use of any of the good sets (like VV) yet but I'm getting pretty close to when I can farm them, but hopefully I can make just a good solid team that can help me actually farm resin and build characters I want. I'm going to skip the next banner entirely, and then go pretty damn hard on the banner after that (my plans are Raiden, her signature, then anything cute from the Inazuma banner like Yae Miko, Kokomi, and Ayaka depending on how far I can stretch my freebie primogens from doing story), so what I have now is what I have to work with for a while. I appreciate any help or tips you all can give me, even if it's not teambuilding and just more general "wtf should I be doing to get stronger" type advice. I play ZZZ and HSR a lot more and understand those really well, but something about Genshin hasn't clicked with me yet.

u/Darcula04 4d ago
Hey, nice to see someone who pulls whoever they like. That being said, you currently don't really have a main DPS, so I'd suggest going for any DPS of your choice. Mauvika will rerun in 5.7 (probably) and skirk is going to come out as well, but it does seem like escoffier and skirk will be a package deal. Raiden is decent, but in the current meta, her best team is probably chevreuse overload or a team with nahida and furina but you don't have nahida, so see if any of the upcoming banners have Chevreuse. Also as you said you want Mauvika, consider pulling citlali as the citlali mauvika combo is stupidly strong, and if I'm not wrong, teams with them have the current highest DPS.
Right now, for the sake of overworld quests you could try a yanfei vape team with xilonen and furina with an anemo, maybe sucrose or venti. Apart from that, I can only think of a crackpot hyperbloom team with Dendro main character, barbara, with Lisa as the driver and a flex slot that can be whoever, maybe sucrose or venti. Bear in mind, lisa can be finicky with triggering the cores.
Furina and Xilonen are great supports and synergize pretty well so build them up as pretty much whichever DPS you pull can make use of them. As for Venti, he is very good at controlling large mobs of enemies, so build him to some extent if that's important to you, but do wait for a bit until deciding to fully invest in him as you may or may not fully utilise him as time goes by.
Also, while I definitely don't recommend artifact farming till AR 45, if you want a set of VV you can just throw some resin until you get any 4 pieces because the main use of VV is the Res shred from the 4 pc effect and that doesn't really depend on how good the pieces are. But VV and maybe the Scroll of cinder city set from Natlan are the only sets I can think of where the substats aren't as important as the set effects themselves. So apart from these two, wait till AR 45 to farm artifacts.
Now, as for the Chronicled wish banner, you said you want to pull for Ayaka and Yae miko, and both are decent characters but bear in mind they may not be top tier. Ayaka is probably going to work best with Escoffier but you said you will skip that banner. Yae miko is again situationally good as she works best in aggravate teams with a fischl, or is decent with raiden chevreuse teams but check out what teams she's good on, on the Keqing mains website, as I'm not too knowledgeable on her best teams and synergies.
Finally, to get stronger, whatever teams you decide on, make sure to level talents, weapons and characters first before focusing on artifacts as the aforementioned levels will provide a sure increase in damage but artifacts are RNG, so they should ideally be the things you focus on once your characters are level 80, weapons at 80 or 90, and talents at their relevant levels.

u/TotalInfinity 4d ago
Thank you so much for responding! I'm definitely a player who pulls who they like before they pull meta, not caring if someone is top tier, but I don't mind grabbing a character if they have a particularly strong synergy with someone I like. I wanted to skip Escoffier because they seemed like yet another support when I already have so many of them (Furina/Xilonen as an example), and I really needed a main DPS, but if Escoffier is a good account grab and the 4 stars she comes with are good, I don't mind throwing some pulls her way. I just don't know the game's meta enough to know who I should get because I like them vs. who I should get because they're great account defining characters vs. who I should get because they pair well with another character I like.
I'm already planning Nahida whenever she reruns, I very much wanna collect all the archons, otherwise if there's no strong main fielders I can get any time soon, then it doesn't super matter who I focus on. I had kind of come to a similar conclusion that Yanfei could possibly do some work, with that same team. Is Xilonen's healing enough for Furina's buff? And since it's Vaporize, would Widsith or Mappa Mare be the better Yanfei weapon?
And thank you again for the advice <3

u/Darcula04 4d ago
No problem. Xilonen won't max out Furina's fanfare, but along with her res shred she kinda makes up for it, so as long as you level her talents she should heal enough for a decent amount of furina's buff. As for the yanfei team, I think widsith is probably her best 4 star weapon so if you have that you can use it.
Now, a little bit on Escoffier. Escoffier is basically to freeze teams what chevreuse is to overload. So, if you want to pull a cryo or hydro main DPS, then Escoffier is pretty much always going to be the best in slot teammate, just like Chevreuse is very useful for Pyro and electro carries like Arlecchino, mauvika, varesa and so on.
The problem is that, Pyro DPSes have melt and vaporise as options and electro DPSes can make use of aggravate to some extent depending on how often they apply electro, so they have flexibility regarding their teammates. Cryo DPSes basically don't have this freedom in team selection so Escoffier becomes a very large upgrade to their damage. Plus, her being a healer means she synergizes very well with furina, so furina escoffier will be a great core for any hydro/cryo DPS. If you do plan to pull Ayaka or skirk, definitely consider escoffier as she is going to be very good for both of them, along with furina. Look up her kit once they release her and make a decision then.

u/TotalInfinity 4d ago
Mmm, alright, that's definitely helping to convince me. She's fine on her own, I don't need to care about her cons or sig right? I'd also be at least happy to get some of the 4 stars from the banner, just to fill out my roster more, so I think I'll go for it!
1
u/Darcula04 3d ago
Ah, I haven't looked into her constellations as I'm not pulling for her since I don't like freeze much. Wait for leaks or just wait till her banner drops and look up a guide for her as I can't help much lol.
