Pretty certain that Thoma is going to be a 4* character. In that case, Standard banner will have all three after Thoma's debut banner apperance. I got a Con1 Sayu from standard, at any rate.

As for 5* weapons... While having them is nice, I was doing perfectly acceptable damage with my 4* weapons and really only noticed changes depending on the artifacts I was using. So, I guess it really depends on what you want to do.

* Disclaimer: I have Skyward Harp. I got it from a standard pull. I slapped it on Tartaglia, and have been crit-ing most of my attacks with +150% crit rate and almost a perfect +100% crit damage. Most of that crit rate comes from artifacts, but skyward harp plays a decent part in it.

I don't think most people know what they're doing with the charms. I just focus on phsyical damage and elemental skill if they pop up since Childe, Kaz, Qiqi and Sayu (despite her EM build) get the most out of it. I mostly swap into Kokomi if I need extra health. As fun as the extra constellation boon is, I don't pick it since it usually doesn't do much for me.

The boosts from breaking pots / screens is nice. Just have to remember that it doesn't count if you explode barrels. You can even stack the +DMG with the +DEF charm. They only stack so many times, but still.

I found that the aura that grants you extra damage (+15%) but goes down if you have more enemies in the circle is pretty worth it since the bonus won't go down beyond +0%. Sure, you'll begin most battles with no bonus, but you can't go wrong with it against the bosses. Focus on the weaker minions, and suddenly you're back at the +15% DMG against a boss who you've no doubt already damaged in the process of removing the minions.

Unless the boss spawns in minions. Then the plan works a bit slower.

There's also a bit of hilarity. There's only much shockwaves can do, but if you grab all the shockwave charms they can defeat enemies if you persist long enough. (Sayu was such a boon for that run. Tartaglia got everything wet with his E skill, Sayu's whirlwind granted elemental particles, which caused shockwaves to trigger.) Then I grabbed the charm that lets you spawn landmines when you sprint and absolutely lost it when she sprinted.

So, imagine this. I'm just fight along against a Abyss Herald(?). Minding my own business whittling down the almost-broken shield, really. Swap to Sayu for the particles because I need to charge Kaz's burst. Get particles, get shockwaves. Sprint to dodge an attack. Spawn a landmine. Landmine goes off.

A landmine won my battle for me. I don't... I'm not sure I could ever recreate the run.

Ouch. Here's hoping RNG gives you a wonderful run!

I wish I could go back to World Level 5. I have a full team of level 90s, including a very Heal-Happy Kokomi, a Swirl Master Kazuha, a Crit Beast Tartaglia, and a Revival-Queen Qiqi. Means nothing at World Level 8, where most of my non-easy enemies are level 95 and can hit like a freight train. Poor Kokomi usually ends up dead if I go up against a horde and Electro gets thrown around.

@SINnabon

If you get stuck, you can always drop the difficulty of the challenge by not selecting the second, more difficult option. I recall getting stuck there, too, and dropped the difficulty. I only got Geovishnap hatchlings from that. There were like, three, but still.

Sad that there's not a co-op option. I'd love to see how others run through the place.

But yeah, I get it. I was a little worried when I saw the recommended levels were all in the 80 to 90 range. I can only hope that changes depending on AR or World Level.

I know, right? There's something about being able to just take your time and explore without the worry of a ridiculously short timer that just lets me enjoy the new dungeon. How sad that we won't get a permanent version of the event... or even a co-op version of it. That would be fun.

Here's hoping you can get past the first floor! My advice is to take your time in the fights, dodge, and don't do the super-hard rounds. You can repeat levels for more aged tokens up to the make per level, and the doll charms (forgot that they're properly called) carry over even if you stop a run halfway through, so you can level up your charms.

As for Abyss (we're talking Spiral Abyss, right?), it's supposed to be a DPS check if I recall right. Besides, if they didn't have the timer, how would they judge how to reward us? Make us use certain characters? Uh... That wouldn't work since some people only have the free starter characters and would give MHY even more grief than they currently have, unless they temporarily gave us certain characters to use inside the domain. They did it for the free-for-all fighting event not too long ago.

Two things.

One: who enjoys the labyrinth event going on and what are you liking about it?

Two: Did you know that you can fall off the edge of the map? It requires a little setup and involves the whole 'walk on the ocean floor' trick, but it totally is possible to fall off the map. You get booted to- drum roll please- the ocean floor. Not to springvale, which happens if I try to use Sayu to go past the 'edge' of the map.

	Sister: "You've been at that for hours now. Aren't you bored? Me: "You underestimate just how much amusement I get out of this." Sister: Why are you even doing this?" Me: Because I can. And because I'm bored. But I'm also amused, which wins over doing nothing at all." That entire island is covered in burnt grass. I call it the Ash-Plateau. I imagine Klee had fun burning the water.

I mean, the idea has it's reasoning behind it. It's crappy for a decent chunk of their player base, sure, but it's reason. They do need to work with the people who made HDZ, after all: what better way than to literally block something behind the wall of another game to promote them.

From what I've noticed recently, Mihoyo doesn't really do... a well-rounded reasonable. There's moments, and I have to give credit where it's due: they can respond to their players in a favorable way on occasion. It just usually takes time, and people don't seem to understand that GI isn't a MMORPG at it's core- it's a very pretty Gacha at its core with MMORPG elements. Mihoyo gives people the option of doing a resetting Spiral Abyss for Primos and achievements and daily check-in and daily commissions and lots of events that reward gems, and it lulls people into thinking that all it is.

The summoning system is actually pretty forgiving at it's core, which is actually more than most of the Gacha games I've tried. You get five free standard pulls from the free version of the Battle Pass, and every 10 pulls is guaranteed a 4* or higher. Be it weapon or character, it's still a 4* or higher. You can even get a free 5* every 100 pulls, assuming you've got luck worse than poor Benny. Let's be honest, no one is that unlucky.

There was even that recent raffle for a free pass of Welkin Moon, and I assure you there are probably people who are more than furious that they didn't win despite putting themselves into the pool.

Of course, there might be things happening behind the scenes that we're completely unaware of and Mihoyo's hands are tied. For all that China is pretty, it's also... not. So, Mihoyo's hands may actually be tied in some aspect. Wasn't there a backlash over the content of Liyue or Inazuma by the government because it could be interpreted as alluding to things they shouldn't be, or something like that?

	I can't imagine that they would lock an Aloy Con behind having to actually play HDZ- that is what you mean, right? How would they even implement that? [Read more]

Ooh! That would be a fun idea! It doesn't lock Aloy behind a paywall, which would be an odd thing to do to a crossover character, but still makes you put the effort in. If Aloy also talks about where she's from during the event/hangout, it promotes HDZ.

Win-win. Which sounds a little too reasonable, so I'm suspect.

But what would Aloy's cons be? There's the usual 2 cons that buff talent skills, but the others?

@Taavi -- Thank you. I didn't realize I needed to move the pictures elsewhere before I could get them to show up here. I was just trying to copy the image from my folders. Yeah, I be big dumb-dumb in the technology-brain department. Sorry about that. Here is the mural translations.

Warning: Letters in parenthesis "()" are my best guess as to what is on the mural. Either they're too faded for me to read, I can't get a clear look at it, or it was the closest-looking symbol I could find- take my translation with a grain of salt. There were plenty of symbols that just didn't appear in the current system of words that we've translated, so I can only assume based on my dated knowledge of Latin what the word might be. "---" Is a space in the mural where I feel the space is intentional and not a faded letter.

SPOILER: These are murals on Tsurumi Island. Mentions of what I assume is lore to the island and potential spoiler to what the future storyline progression on the island will be like. Again, don't take is as a perfect translation. There are parts that make little sense to me right now.

EDIT: I didn't catch a mural because I didn't realize a mechanic. Have a sixth mural semi translation, also a rework of translation because 'fresh troops' doesn't make much sense... I don't know why I have that as a possible word in my notebook. Doesn't make much sense, since Integri is based on the word Inegro... which is 'to make anew / to begin again'.

I swear the Gatcha fates were aligned... either that, or they really wanted me to have Childe and use him. I pulled for him, got him. Then, 3 Standard wishes in, I got Skyward Harp. I pulled a c1 Diluc last week and hadn't pulled since to wait for the battle pass to reset. I honestly forgot 5* weapons were a thing in the standard banner. Like, I know it's there- it's even advertised. I just... thought it more of a myth than reality.

I... I think I now know who is going to be on my standard team. Sheesh. Guess I won't be getting another 5* for a bit.

To everyone pulling for Childe, I hope you get him! To all who are waiting for Hu Tao, I hope you get her! To anyone waiting past for a different banner, good luck!

	@CjNazzy Before I forget, You might also want to use characters that can break an electro shield bar pretty quickly. You'll eventually get to the final 'attack', and you need to break the object that appears. I tended to fail around that mark because I wasn't paying attention. [Read more]

@Taavi

I have the four murals I found translated (for as much as I could, and much of my guesswork is prolly wrong since it's a Latin script), but now I got to figure out how to add images and what not from my computer. I don't suppose you know how to do that and would be willing to help, would you?

----

@CjNazzy

Yeah, I get it. I got stuck there, too. The only advice I can give is 'don't loose hope'. Food that reduces your stamina consumption for sprinting is key, as well as the 3*star stamina recovery food that you (hopefully) got from Cloud Retainer during the Merriment event.

	@CjNazzy It's part of the quest. Just follow along with it and you'll uncover the map. There's one section that will still hold fog, though. Just light the purple lanterns with Electro and you'll be good to walk through it without getting reset. [Read more]

Hehe, with Aloy and Sayu in my second party, I can now farm those annoying meats and crystal cores whenever.

Childe finally came home (welp, back to Oceanid I go...). I was saving for an extremely hopeful Xiao rerun, but... I need someone better than my Kaz for combat. The new islands are killing me in terms of challenge POIs.

Speaking of, whose enjoying the new puzzles (and everything else) in Tsurumi?

There's too many things to pick apart here (most good, aside from the sheer craziness of the majority of the fighting challenges, might have to drop a world level for them), but I did notice this: those murals? The pretty ones that contain lore and will most definitely be used before we move on to Sumeru?

They have the same script on them as the abyss mages have floating over their head before we attack them. I want to try my hand at decoding them... may not translating them, but get the general patterns down. Hopefully they've got patterns. I can't imagine making a comprehensive language in a game that is used by multiple different people and then not giving them some type of meaning.
