- crowned Raiden E and burst

Reason for bringing characters up to lv90 eludes me besides "waifu reasons", as stat gains are rather modest compared to expenses. And are you sure you want to say Albedo is your waifu, fully aware Hellcats might be prepping up for take off somewhere on the sea?

 

Also I don't like hyperinvesting in characters I know sooner or later will be benched, either because I get bored of them or they get replaced by someone else so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or rather, the only character that withstands the test of time, is local Liyue boomer too old to understand current boss of the Funeral Parlor. And even then, enemies Mihoyo adds more enemies than can strip his shield just fine, as well Corrosion will find its way into the open world... and probably not only in Inazuma

Well, there always were unusual claw marks around Wolvendom and Razor was mentioning "not our wolves" in his (?) story quest

It sounds strange but it's similar situation for me. Got all 13-3 drop ships beyond Javelin and Dewey. Maybe Yostar spaghettified something on 13-3?

 

I have all permanently obtinable characters in game beyond one and it's Dewey. Even Bunker Hill I managed to get during 11th run into map ( including clearing runs ) Dewey seems to be impossible. This however didn't suprises me as Isuzu, Coumbia and Fiji were farmed for the longer time than most my SSR's.

 

Bunker Hill defintely is flex ship so I have some ideas about PvP defence fleet  I wonder which character is rarest beyond her? Chokai? Dewey?

From my experience when looking for Sendai - you have seemingly have HIGHER odds of finding blue ship when you get A rating on battles, from the battle, at least that's how I've got two copies of her when I've forgot to equip few ships, so they were not clearing nodes in time

 

Bunker Hill, Dewey, Choukai, Hiyou/Yunyou, Sendai, Jintsuu  would be "rarest" in terms of being obtainable from lategame stages only. Other than that... look for events/collabs that are long forgotten, like whatwasit, Neptunia I think?

Don't worry, I'm not into dudes anyway. 

As I said, he's basically purely there for geo resonance and 2ndary DPS. Didn't see any value in Ningguang screen and Traveler meteor is extremely annoying if it elevates enemies and also somewhat inaccurate.

 

I mean, it's not like I have anything better to do until the next patch, so I might as well experiment with different characters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And then "next patch" is going to be only one island that will last what, 24h until 100%? For Geo resonance, there is old but gold Noelle, as secondary shielder/healer/spin2win Geo claymore, even more so if she's c6.

 

And I'd happily take her constellations, but alas next patch will bring free Xinyan from the event 

 

Gorou and Arataki Itto officially announced for 2.3, while 2.2 patch datamine revealed few characters got new lines about Shenhe and Yunjin

[Zemeritt]

I did it. I finally cleared 13-4.

 

It wasn't as difficult as it used to be tho (No ambushes, higher max level)

 

Now onwards to farm for Dewey and Bunker Hill.

On a more serious note, isn't that just Cloud Retainer? Would make sense given that her name literally translates to "Holy Crane".

 

[Khaba_Gandalf]

So, finally it's the time to tackle the remaining PR ships, which for me are FdG from PR2, Mainz from PR3 and everything from PR4. With that many IB ships remaining, I thought that doing everything from IB first and the other factions later would be the best move for a lazy dude like me.

 

Looks to me that the logical road would be FDG>AvPY>Aegir>Mainz, because that way I only need to change up my fleets when I'm halfway through with Ägir. 

 

I care less about oil (casual guy, so I'm rarely out of oil + I have ~40 unread patch compensation mails left) and more about time consumption, so I'd rather not do some super-oil efficient 1-1 setups that clear their low/mid-tier stages within 2-3 minutes.  As you can see from the attached screens, I pretty much have pretty much everything from IB  and with the new lecture hall mechanics I could easily bump up some of the ships to lv 100+ if needed. My first thought would be something like Scharnhorst-Sisters+Zeppy for the Mainfleet Part (with maybe some cross fleet healing from the unused boss fleet) with a token vanguard that only needs to stay alive (like Downes or Phoenix) and either alle 3 Königsberg-Class CLs or Z1+two other Z-Class DDs for the vanguard part of the PR grind. 

 

Anyone else here, who already finished those grinds and either has some comments or better setup ideas?

She was datamined eons ago, alongside few characters that already released (and one got reworked in meantime)

Spoiler

 

And for who she is

Spoiler

Shenhe being Cloud Retainer is solid, but not certain clue. Name would be the most obvious, color palette + wing motif on her robe, akin to AL cranes also checks out

 

 

The biggest evidence "against", Ganyu new line about her, is only partially debunking. We do know she (Cloud Retainer) can be quite... temperamental, like when she heard news of Morax death, first thing she wanted to do was to flatten Liyue Harbor. As for why she would keep fact from Ganyu Cloud Retainer and Shenhe are the same person... dunno. To preserve her "wise, sentimental and old fashioned" image in Ganyu/other adepti eyes, while she can be herself in Shenhe form, temperamental madlass with no fluffs given, revelling in carnage and joy? She IIRC was said to have Cryo Vision, which matches overall color palette of Shenhe. Yes, character color palette doesn't always match their element, but in 9/10 cases it does. Also Cryo Vision fits someone with such dichotomy.

 

And she have to have human form, how else pretty big birb can sit next to rather clearly human table, where she, Morax and Guizhong dined together in the past.

 

If I have to guess, next Lantern Rite would be her reveal, alongside Xiao rerun.

Where do you plan to grind the EXP?

[Khaba_Gandalf]

Where do you plan to grind the EXP?

Well, not 100% sure about that.

 

The setup I'm trying right now is:

 

Main: Bismarck+Zeppy+Weser

Vanguard: Königsberg+Karlsruhe

 

with the second Fleet primarily providing cross fleet buffs (NJ+Perseus+Cassabalanca). Idea is that fleet1 does all the work, Main gets MVP +Flagship Bonus for faster grind and Vanguard is only there to level up, so that I can use the Königsberg Sisters when I later move on to grinding vanguard EXP. 

 

With only two Lv <90 vanguards the fleet can clear 8-4 incl. the boss on full auto right now, 9-4 is a bit tricky. I could -with a bigger/better vanguard- clear up to 10-4 on auto right now. I haven't played beyond 11-1 yet. But that would be an option too, would simply require me to grind those maps first and then get them down to safe mode.

 

Like I said, oil cost isn't necessarily an issue, I'm over my max reserve right now (11k) and I have further 75k oil in the bank from unused maintenance compensations. I could go all out and field a more expensive fleet and grind higher maps than 8-4. What I don't have is the time to grind something like stage 7 with a 1-1 fleet over and over again, because:

 

a) I'm either at work (gastronomy job) where I may let run the game on auto 1-2/h 

b) or I'm home, where my time is split between WoWs, books and AL and AL mostly getting the short stick. Like hitting the auto-combat button between clan battles or after reading a chapter or two.

 

I'm def. not the kind of guy who can run the game with short breaks in the background during home office (like a fellow clanmate of me does), or spends hours grinding the game like those crazy dudes like kimocheese & just3c, who get FdG within 60h of min-max grinding... 

 

So I guess I rather prefer a setup/map, that produces a high amount of EXP per run and doesn't rely mainly on chaining a dozen runs/hour with low oil cost to get the best oil/exp ratio... Does that answer the question?

I mean, more EXP the higher the maps are. Since oil isn't a problem, 10-4 sounds good if your vanguards can handle it fine.

 

Personally I grinded the ships during events, using only IB fleets.

Also, use IB in Op:SI if possible. You can get there alot of EXP aswell.

[LOZFFVII]

@Khaba_Gandalf

DO NOT use the Koenigsberg sisters. They are terrible. And this is coming from the idiot who got all of the Fletchers in the game to lvl120.

My mainfleet for AvP and Aegir was Zeppy, Odin and Wesser (lvls 110, 105, 90 respectively) - I don't remember what the vanguard was, but it was probably just one-or-two tanky characters.

Again my mainfleet for Aegir latter half is vague (I think I used Perseus for the double heal, possibly an AR for healing/ammo, but I could have also used Aquila in healer forme) - my vanguard was Z-23, Z-46 and Z-1 (the latter two being barely more than lvl90, Nimi being lvl115).

 

The most efficient level for EXP farming in the game is 12-4 (aside from OpSi). As far as I am concerned, as long as my EXP farming fleets are capable of acting as mob fleet for that level while a different fleet takes out the boss then everything is golden (and my above fleets were just fine as mob fleets).

 

Right now it doesn't seem like you have a lot of IB ships >lvl100, so I'd recommend you use the EXP boosters the updated lecture hall has been giving you to get them up to strength. EDIT: I missed the earlier post with screens.

 

But that's just my strategy, if you don't think you're able to take on W12 as a passive EXP farm, then @Zemeritt's advice is good.

Her EN voice was bugged yes, not only missing idle lines, but also few weather ones.

 

Tsurumi have been relieved of all its oculi and overall is 83% complete to the point Treasure Compass is kinda useless now, with whatever next probably being questwalled

 

Magic doggos aren't really an issue, as their attacks are slow and quite predictable, though I can see them suddenly starting being an issue, when you're dealing with pack of 4+. Also bigger ones are spongy as

Indeed. If just a few, you can easily evade their attacks. Only in packs, if you lose sight of one they can ambush you.

Considering ruin of that nation are spread all around Teyvat, I would assume the nation might have been larger than expected.

Maybe they had a city/outpost in every other nation

Azur Lane's maintenance is on;

Just a friendly reminder to all players: this is the maintenance that also has the 200gems 6k oil and 50k coins in it.

It is, of course, recommended that you DO NOT cash this in immediately and instead save it in your mail for a rainy day (like the next UR construction event).

 

Also after this maintenance, Crimson Echoes will be added to the War Archives, so we will be getting a rate-up in the standard build pools for the event ships (apart from Kaga BB, who is also a drop from D3).

I'm probably going to log in later just to claim my freebie and then leave GI until Sumeru is added.

(I was also very confused at first wondering why I got Kaga BB on a map drop)

Funny enough I had switched to 3-2 grind to get the bunnies retrofitted (to save on purple bullins, kinda worked) but I am very happy to get Kaga and I am now free to actually progress in the main campaign.

 

Question is, should I roll on rate up banner to get Amagi or keep saving up?
