Daily Questions Megathread (February 01, 2026)

Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.

That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

is fischl really better than yae miko? i got yae around 3.8 and never used her anywhere 😭

Alex_from_Solitude2026-02-01 10:12

Yes, especially nowadays with Hexerei.

ToshiShard2026-02-01 10:14

i see, thxx. are there any good teams i could use yae miko with?

Thorondale2026-02-01 10:20

Maybe this will help:

Sense services like LDshop are technically against the ToS but all they require is IUD and server location couldn't someone get someone banned by like spamming them with the $1 ldshop purchases until it flags as odd by hoyo?

PhyrexianRogue2026-02-01 11:38

Hoyo rarely actively bans just for using services like that. Probably at least partially to prevent stupid things like that.

Velaethia2026-02-01 11:59

rarely isn't never.

Thorondale2026-02-01 10:20

How do you guys find these lanterns from other people? Are they from friends who send them to you or are they lanterns that randomly appear in others' worlds? I know there are normal and gift lanterns, and I interpreted it as the normal lanterns appear randomly and the gift lanterns can be sent, but I am not sure that is correct, and I haven't seen any lanterns appear in my world yet.

-tjm-2026-02-01 10:50

Other people's normal lanterns will randomly appear in your world once you've completed the quest to start the "Bright Moon, Lantern Glow" event; there's no notification, you just have to find them in Liyue (but it will spawn a lot and most people put them in very obvious places so they're not hard to find). The gift lanterns only go to specified friends and they'll get a notification with the location.

Thorondale2026-02-01 11:41

Thanks, they started showing up now!

PurpleThunderHD2026-02-01 10:30

how can i make the game size smaller

Successful-Cream-2382026-02-01 11:31

Besides uninstalling all but one voice pack, you can only delete past quest resources on mobile. It'll be under settings > resources on mobile only.

PurpleThunderHD2026-02-01 11:42

so there’s no files i can delete on my laptop

Kaemonarch2026-02-01 10:31

I got Xingqiu C5, Yanfei C5, Xinyan C4, Lanyan C3, Ningguang C3, Chongyun C3, Beidou C2, Yun Jin C2, Yaoyao C1.

I was considering just getting Yaoyao to C2 because she is the lowest... I don't really use any of them much; other than having Ningguang slotted on my "main" team while playing, to track ores, but she doesn't do much. Any suggestion or key constellations I might not be thinking about? Not sure any of them are worth anything for IT; and afaik the only "strong" one that "matters" would be Xingqiu's C6, am I right?

Oh boy, this is harder when there is no new character to "instantly" pick. XD

KyrrithK2026-02-01 11:14

Lanyan C4 is an EM buff, which isn't nothing. Especially if you're using her as discount Sucrose in Lunar teams for the shield. But Xingqiu C6 is the easy choice, none of the others are close to relevant or have relevant cons.

beeongguk2026-02-01 10:54

I need help working on who to build to make a strong team, with good synergy 🥲

I main/have fully built: Lyney

I frequently use (/have somewhat built): Venti, Xiao, Zhongli, Hu Tao, Childe, Ganyu

I have but haven't yet built properly: Columbina, Neuvilette, Kazuha, Itto, Baizhu, Nahida, Raiden, Scaramouche, Keqing, Ayaka, Ayato, Tighnari, Cyno, Jean, Mona, Qiqi, Diluc, Kinich, Mizuki, most 4*'s

I like using Zhongli as a shield, who would work well with Lyney and Zhongli? I want to build Columbina as I enjoy her playstyle. I know I need to stop trying to build everyone as a DPS too and work on reactions. I'm not interested in doing crazy numbers, I just want good synergy.

KyrrithK2026-02-01 11:02

Lyney, Zhongli, Bennett, Venti/Kazuha

Neuvi, Bina, Raiden, Sucrose I suppose

Bina, Nahida, Raiden, Sucrose/flex

And yeah, there's a lot of DPS units there, but not many supports. Remember that most teams can only have 1 DPS and 3 supports, so your account is pretty skewed in that sense. I'd definitely go for Ineffa if you can before she leaves, would work with a lot of units. Durin similarly would help a lot of possible teams. Lauma is also an option if you want a better DPS Bina.

beeongguk2026-02-01 11:59

Thank you so much! I definitely have a soft spot for a DPS — but then I get to spiral abyss and regret not building my teams properly. 🥲

I think I'll definitely have a go at building Raiden and Nahida, and testing out different teams. I think my Bennett is still built from my early game days too.

This-Bass-87632026-02-01 10:55

is it normal that I pulled Xilonen, then right after Xilonen I got Columbina, and then today I got Ineffa, is it like rare? I mean I shouldve had a guaranteed loss, no?

KyrrithK2026-02-01 10:57

There is no 'guaranteed loss', it's a fair system. You're just one of the lucky people, 1/8 to have gotten 3 coin flips in a row.

Vanderseid2026-02-01 10:57

There would have been riots if you are rigged to lose a gamble.

Velaethia2026-02-01 11:58

there is no such thing as a gaurenteed loss.

This-Bass-87632026-02-01 11:00

so I have Lauma. Columbina and Ineffa, can they be one team? since I dont have Nefer and Flins, who would be dps if they could?

This-Bass-87632026-02-01 11:01

I also have flis's weapon if that helps in any other way

KyrrithK2026-02-01 11:06

They can be, but it's a little tricky. Bina DPS works fine, and either a 2nd Hydro for an easier time with reactions, or Sucrose for EM buffs is max damage.

Technically Nefer works better as the 4th slot in that team, but if you get Flins instead, Lauma can just split off into a separate team easily. Ineffa also isn't that good in the Nefer team, so she *can* do the same, just not as easily.

This-Bass-87632026-02-01 11:17

alrr tyyy

kissofthehell2026-02-01 11:02

Where is neuvilette located in the harbor?

KyrrithK2026-02-01 11:04

In the main square, at a shop on the right side of the square a tier above. So if you're just walking along the edge of the water up from the teleport, you'll miss him (I know I did) because he's on your left, behind a fence

Edit: So if you're on the map zoomed in, right at the top of the 'h' in Wharf

Kvestiya2026-02-01 11:14

In the “Moonlight adeptus's trail” new mini game what enhancements are the top priority?

KyrrithK2026-02-01 11:16

If you just want it to be over asap, damage and time so you can kill the boss. But it's really not that deep, only takes like 5 mins to play enough rounds to get all upgrades from the first level.

SmugTsar2026-02-01 11:17

Im softlocked on quest 2 of this Lantern Rite >!(ZIbai's angry side tells traveler to run or die, kept running like an idiot everywere for 10 minutes, couldn't find or trigger anything)!<. What the fuck am I supposed to do!?

Calm_Investment99332026-02-01 11:50

# Has anyone else EVER crashed with a kernel error on the logs while using Smooth Motion on Nvidia?, i crashes WHILE doing lantern rite mission

the error from the dmp file is at ntoskrnl.exe+6ab26e

i must say i didnt crash when launching the game, i read it happened 4 months ago when this tech was first released, but it happened while playing, i must add that i had been using it for few days and never crashed, but i think it has to do with the anti cheat detecting the 120 fps and trying to force it back to 60 and therefore crashing my system as my pc restarted

i did format my ssd and everything is high end hardware in case someone wonder if i can run genshin yes in short is 12700k + 5070 ti + 32 gb ram ddr5 and i built my pc myself 2 years ago and i bought this gpu about 1 week ago, and then format it

httporia2026-02-01 11:51

if i want to put columbina and ineffa in the same team. what artifact sets should i give them respectively

International_You_562026-02-01 11:57

Silken moon on Bina and Aubade on Ineffa.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 12:09

rest of the team always matters
typically SMS on Bina cause she wants the ER (otherwise it doesnt matter who on the team holds it)
and Aubade on Ineffa
if you run a second hydro and/or someone holding favonius and you actively feed energy to Columbina
you can run putting Columbina on Aubade. otherwise you need too many ER substats.

httporia2026-02-01 12:17

what if i run them with sucrose + fischl/yelan

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 12:42

Yelan's damage buff is somewhat wasted in that team

you definitely want Sucrose on VV set
the difference between SMS and Aubade on Columbina is so low(but still in [favour](https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbina_Mains/comments/1q0axt5/columbina_weapons_const_er_arti_infos/) of SMS), there isnt much reason to not use SMS
unless your Columbina is more invested

httporia2026-02-01 15:08

does more invested mean constellation or weapon? cuz i have her weapon but no cons

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:23

technically both.

sig is nice for damage

but for energy or buffing team lunar reaction, its not actually better than r5 Prototype amber. which means you still need some ER, and people calcced signature as a fairly minor damage increase to team damage.

and how much ER you need, trying to get that still means less crit or hp substats.

thats why there is barely any difference between Aubade or SMS.

check the link, a few pages back you get ER comparisons

httporia2026-02-01 15:39

thank you

YellowSecure20492026-02-01 12:00

I just finished act 2 of Nod-krai and Rerir had this whole elaborate plan with the cannon but could he not just have taken the kuuvahki that was stored in it? that would have been quicker, easier and allowed him to absorb more of it, right?

in-my_opinion3142026-02-01 12:13

I'm guaranteed and have c1 columbina, ineffa, and sucrose.

What's the er requirement for flins? given ineffa is on aubade with 111% er with calamity queller, columbina is on serenade with 140% er (including 2pc serenade) with pamber

jo_vesx2026-02-01 12:17

Would pulling Zibai be a good choice for my account? [These are my characters.](https://imgur.com/a/MAx5An6) (I have every standard 5star + every 4star except Jahoda). I’m using Columbina with Navia and I like that team but I lost my 50/50 on Ineffa’s banner and I’m debating whether I should pull for Zibai or wait for Flins maybe. What do you think?

KyrrithK2026-02-01 12:51

If you can, I'd probably still go for Ineffa. Then you can run a Bina+Ineffa team with lots of your existing carries.

Zibai is definitely an option if you like her gameplay, and since you have Furina+Xilonen and Zhongli you do have some options for her team. Flins without Ineffa meanwhile won't be quite as strong as Zibai would be, nor would a Nefer without Lauma. So Zibai is definitely the cheapest Lunar team you can make. But if you don't like Zibai's playstyle, don't pull her.

Otherwise, Escoffier for your Skirk is also a priority you should consider. You've got enough teams that you should be able to brute-force any Lunar shill, so maybe you don't even need a Lunar team. But to get better use out of Bina, you kinda do want at least one other Lunar character.

International_You_562026-02-01 12:54

Zibai and Bina will be a perfect match and much better than Navia.

HumbertlovedDolores2026-02-01 12:22

Seems to me that Illuga can use whatever betweeen 2pc/2pc and SMS at any cons level and he using SMS once C2 is because Bina is better off on the new set rather than SMS. What’s the team dps difference for those that can’t be bothered? I read someone commenting it’s not a lot so I guess it has been quantified already.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 13:06

its basically [this](https://preview.redd.it/columbina-weapons-const-er-arti-infos-v0-ves5a0xjziag1.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=81b231ffc14d59f8d8b07d183ba614cf2171d792) much
from this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbina_Mains/comments/1q0axt5/columbina_weapons_const_er_arti_infos/)
but cant quite get your specific answer, so maybe check comments or rest of the post

KuroDaShib2026-02-01 13:17

Hey all i need a quick lore clarification regarding fontain story stuff and was a little confused.

Regarding the prophecy.
Did the HP directly put the prophecy in place as punishment to Egeria for doing what she did?
I know she was punished but I wasnt sure and may have missed some lore or misunderstood some wordings, so was she punished WITH the prophecy being placed, or was the prophecy more of a side thing they told her like "btw we saw the future and it says your people are gonna get flooded, we just wanted to give you a 500+ year heads up"?
Wasn't sure if the prophecy was just them warning her that a freak primordial disaster was gonna happen (+narwhal attack) or they intentionally put the events in motion themselves if a lore enthusiast can clear thay up for me pls.

notthatjaded2026-02-01 15:21

I believe the prophecy was kind of a “and as a consequence of your actions this is going to happen” thing. We’ve got no reason to think the HP themselves had anything to do with drawing Surtalogi’s pet space Narwhal to Teyvat’s primordial sea directly.

KuroDaShib2026-02-01 15:25

I gotcha, I was a but confused as to what caused what exactly in that story. Like the only points I know was, egeria punished, prophecy told, but wasnt sure like how corrolated things were.

I know we won't 100% know what the heavenly principles thought process is until later down the line whenever we do actually meet them in game, but i still like examining the stuff thats happened under them.

notthatjaded2026-02-01 15:34

I don’t think the correlation was ever really explicitly spelled out. Like Surtalogi didn’t even _have_ a pet narwhal until long after Egeria made the Fontainian humans and he himself left Teyvat centuries ago. So like…how does what she did then connect to what the narwhal did now? Hard to say.

I suppose when it came to the prophecy itself it was more like, “by fucking around with the primordial sea without full Authority over it, you’ve set things in motion that will lead to your people and nation being drowned someday” and if it hadn’t been the narwhal it would have been something else but that isn’t really satisfying to me.

Still_Cow_76972026-02-01 13:18

how do you find lanterns gifted to you by your friends? it's my first lantern rite so I'm kinda confused like yeah i did find 3 from one friend because they were easy to locate but istfg i can't find any other and i see so many on my bulletin... i can't be THIS blind now 😭

Kaemonarch2026-02-01 13:49

The bulletin marks them in the map :-s

Still_Cow_76972026-02-01 14:13

ouh so do i just go and take a look at the bulletin? i mean, i already did that but to no avail... :')

ChihuahuaCore2026-02-01 14:24

I found the gifted lanterns to me by my friends using the overview map. Sadly Hoyo didn't include a navigation feature that will directly lead you to it. There's this one lantern I've had a hard time finding despite being certain I'm at the right location. Turned out, my friend put the Xiao lantern on top of the building somewhat hidden behind the decorative banners. Lol.

Still_Cow_76972026-02-01 15:44

omg idk why this feature isn't working for me :(

Kaif_lol2026-02-01 13:22

I'm planning on using a Columbina-Ineffa-Hu Tao-Xinqiu team, how should I build Ineffa? I'm interested in an artifact set, main stats, substats, and weapon. Columbina has SMS. What talents do I level up?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 13:35

well you mostly go for the typical Aubade on Ineffa then, raise skill to improve shield, burst to 6 cause why not
some atk/atk/crit on her, but youd still want ER to burst for teamwide EM buff, which, besides lunar charge, improves Hu Tao vapes a bit too
Xingqiu could use a favonius sword.
otherwise you might want to craft Kitain Cross spear to handle Ineffa ER needs. for damage, her free weapon option is the NK craftable

technically if youd want, Xingqiu could hold SMS and put Columbina on Aubade too
and Hu Tao could use the Night sky dps set

FauxGamerLord2026-02-01 13:40

Where would I ask if I needed someone to borrow a strong character from for IT?

Kaemonarch2026-02-01 13:48

Here (but probably including your server and/or UID, so they can add you instantly, instead of having to bother contacting you separately) or in the Genshin Discord. You can also just google "Imaginarium Theater UIDs" and try to add random people that listed themselves there, if they still have friend spots.

ttovotsttnt2026-02-01 13:45

Anyone else have some friends they cant send lanterns to? I know they unlocked the Xiao lanterns themselves already.

eveismad2026-02-01 13:51

I havent played genshin in a while, i played when it came out and then to the start of sumeru, the last newer five star that i have is Nahida and she isnt built and i just came back to genshin to get Columbina and im trying to play, i want to save for Zibai but idk what do you think should i pull for Ineffa or Zibai (I have Raiden and Yae but no Geo 5 star)😭😭😭

unshackledkaiju2026-02-01 13:57

If you really like zibai go ahead. But ineffa is one of the best supports in the game (she is very op) and paired with columbina she can make any team meta relevant. She would def go well with your raiden as well, or you can play her in hyperbloom+lunar bloom with nahida and columbina. So try for ineffa. But her banner ends in 2 days so if you cant get ineffa, you can go with zibai as she needs only columbina and illuga

unshackledkaiju2026-02-01 13:55

I was wishing for Ineffa's weapon and accidentally got columbina's weapon instead. I have prospectors shovel
equipped for Ineffa. I have 20 pity on weapon banner and 0 pity on character banner. I have just about 15 wishes.I
want to try pulling zibai, or any future banner like lauma rerun or varka. Now that my fate points are maxed, do I try to get Ineffa's weapon?? Or is Prospectors Shovel enough?? I'm short on wishes too..

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 14:02

Prospector is enough
no point trying weapon with only that amount

BountyRuuunes2026-02-01 13:55

Hey everyone, I had a long break sadly I have not played since early 2022 so a lot of things I say may seem funny to you :) The last banner I wished on was Ganyu and Zhongli reruns in January 2022 with their weapons and I was somewhat lucky and even with a small amount of fates that I had (I think it was something below 80 fates but cannot remember exactly) I managed to pull all of them: Ganyu, Zhongli, Amos Bow and Vortex Vanquisher. Now I returned to playing and as I am a long time Hu Tao/Xingqui main I am trying to build my double vape team with them with Hu Tao as a main dps. So I would really love to get Yelan whenever she has a rerun. As far as I understand I am now at 0 pity. What should be my best strategy now as I prepare for the (hopefully) upcoming Yelan rerun in order to maximize my chance of getting her (or for what it's worth any other new character featured on future banners that would be an extremely good/worth getting character)? Should I wish on random banners? Sorry I am a bit of touch with the game now and not sure if the pity system still works the way it used to.

notthatjaded2026-02-01 15:18

The pity system still works the same except there is now also something called “Capturing Radiance” that raises your likelihood of winning a 50/50 after you’ve lost a few in a row (that’s the short explanation).

Hard to say when Yelan is coming back. You can always plan to save up a bunch of wishes (at least 160) to give yourself a good chance of guaranteeing her when she does return and spend anything over that on other characters if you’re super determined to get her.

templar123452026-02-01 14:03

Hi I just got Columbina by a stroke of luck after not playing 2-3 years (stopped after first Nahida banner sadly), so I have these teams atm:

Hu Tao/Zhongli/Xianqu/Mona
Ayaka/Kazuha/Mona/Diona
Miko/Raiden/Kazuha/Bennett

Also have Venti, Nilou and Yoimiya on standby. Any teams I can make with Columbina with any of these chars? I have all the 4\*s from before Sumeru so there's that too.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:15

Venti(VV set, EM focus) Fischl Columbina and some second electro thats not Raiden
or replace Bennett in Raiden team

try your luck and get Ineffa too. fits into most teams that arent dendro or cryo
or consider Zibai, but she needs her own separate team

note for Ayaka. keep a look out for Escoffier rerun. although Skirk has mostly surpassed Ayaka. i use Ayaka quite a lot

BrightestDay63082026-02-01 14:15

Shenhe or Escoffier for Skirk freeze team?
I'm looking for a cryo sup Dps and am sure which of those to save my pulls for. I have Furina and a C6 Xingqiu ready, even Barbara if i want healing. But i don't have another Sub dps. I could build Rosaria but I'd rather just put the ressources in a 5 star. Any advice?

International_You_562026-02-01 14:16

Escoffier.

ChihuahuaCore2026-02-01 14:31

Since you have Skirk, go for Escoffier.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:12

For Skirk
Shenhe or Escoffier? ideally both, along with Furina

ToshiShard2026-02-01 14:20

so i just got ineffa at 37 pity 50/50!:D

i wanna ask if i’m using the SoSS weapon, would an em sands and em goblet be better? i don’t have any other weapons for her, so yeah. i’m planning on using her with columbina, but i’m not going to pull any nod-krai dps—which artifacts should i use for columbina and ineffa (the ones that are fitted to any team)?

underpantscannon2026-02-01 14:24

According to the [KQM quick guide](https://keqingmains.com/q/ineffa-quickguide/#Weapons), yeah, go EM/EM/crit.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:10

youd still want to reach 2k atk on Ineffa, so really dont go for both EM main stats

GetWaifuBeLaifu2026-02-01 14:23

Hey, I was wondering if its possible to delete resources or already done quests/story missions for PC?

I think its possible on mobile but cant find it on PC

-tjm-2026-02-01 14:45

It isn't possible on PC, no.

Kaif_lol2026-02-01 14:30

I'm planning on running Columbina-Ineffa-Hu Tao-Xinqiu. Columbina's on SMS, but I don't know what to put Ineffa on and the stats I need to focus on her. Hu Tao is also on the old Crimson Witch of Flames, so I was wondering if there's a new artifact set that I could switch her to.

nazran592026-02-01 14:45

weird combo but there no new artifact for hutao that work well with lunar focus party. so just stay with crimson witch, at least with crimson witch, you can do some vape

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:07

not really anything weird about it. ideal would be Yelan instead of Xingqiu but whatever
dps set gives 30% crit rate, EM and increases lunar charge damage for team
very importantly, unlike previous best, Furina and/or plunge teams, Hu Tao can actually stay at half health for her own passive and possibly Homa

JotaHDoble2026-02-01 14:58

Ineffa on Aubade (the new lunar reaction from off field set) and Hu Tao can use Night of the Sky´s because you are playing her with 2 Nod Krai.

Remember that this set will only work in this team

SpecialAsk58032026-02-01 14:31

I got Jean at the 28th pull on columbina's banner, then, I pulled exactly 100 more times in the same banner and haven't received any 5 star character again. Is this bad luck, or is it an error? I haven't gotten my 50/50.

nazran592026-02-01 14:43

Better stop and wait for the history to refresh and count again to double check because it most likely you just count it wrong. Or even worse, you pull on standard banner

SpecialAsk58032026-02-01 14:45

I checked so many times, and I haven't pulled in the standard banner. Could it have something to do with getting ineffa? I got her on my 50th pull-ish (and obviously I pulled 100 times on the Columbina banner). I will recount to see if it's an error of mine again, but if not, is there something I can do?

nazran592026-02-01 14:53

You said you got Jean on columbina banner then you go pull on Ineffa banner and got her at 50th pulls? That mean your pity is reset. Both limited banner share the same pity

SpecialAsk58032026-02-01 14:56

Yep, I pulled 28 times on Columbina's banner and got Jean, then pulled on ineffa's banner 50 times, and then 70 times more, so I'm at 70 pity, I think I figured it out, thanks for your help

SpecialAsk58032026-02-01 14:47

That might be it, actually. I pulled on columbina's banner first, so it shared the pity between the two banners

thisiskyle772026-02-01 14:38

Can Durin proc Freedom Sworn passive every rotation as a support? Let say Varesa Overload or any 20s rotation comp ?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:04

well, its possible cause Varesa has multiple hits with her skill uses, so youd get electro on enemy often enough
cant say what the exact rotation is though

thisiskyle772026-02-01 15:10

Thanks. Seems like it is not guaranteed. Plus the EM doesn’t seem that good for overload comp. Probably I would just stick to wolf fang.

blueandgoldilocks2026-02-01 14:48

Wanting to do Lantern Rite but I haven't done Nod Krai yet

How much of the AQ does it spoil?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:02

moon stuff, so kinda relevant

-tjm-2026-02-01 15:05

The time-limited event stuff (minigames and rewards) spoils nothing.

The lantern rite story quest spoils some stuff from the Nod-Krai AQ, but it's a permanent quest so you can just do it whenever.

throwaway2406842026-02-01 14:55

i’m apparently missing a shrine of depths in mondstadt (9/10) checked the interactive map and gone to all the locations but can’t find it ANYWHERE. would anyone be able to help 😭

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:02

you literally couldnt have gone to all of them and not find the last one
i just put a Clover pin on the map, with tag of Empty, the moment i got the chests

nazran592026-02-01 15:06

Im looking forward for >!Varka!<even tho I heard lots of bad thing about him. I even have his premium party ready, Venti and Durin and most likely will go for >!Nicole!<if she is the support that everyone is talking about. My concern however is how bad is he? I dont want him to be on the same level as Dehya, that would be awful. He did get a buff recently in the beta server and as long as he perform well (maybe around Ganyu/Xiao level) I wouldnt mind. I guess the reason Hoyo not make >!Varka!<as busted as Mauvika or Skirk is because Anemo is just so universal element and not too restrict on certain comp (freeze comp/melt comp etc etc) thus making him do a bit less damage then the other top DPS is the price Anemo has to paid.

>!Knowing Hoyo, they really dont want an Anemo DPS do 100k damage while also be very universal to build with, that would be awful for them I supposed!<

manipulat0r2026-02-01 15:21

>!He wants 2+2 team, and his best is pyro dmg% goblet!<

SquibblesMcGoo2026-02-01 15:08

Is there any consensus on which characters' BiS the new witch artifact set is? I imagine Durin? What about older units like Klee, Albedo, Venti etc.?

International_You_562026-02-01 15:19

Durin, Venti, soon Varka, Klee, Razor. Fischl is still better with golden troupe and Sucrose with VV. Albedo still uses husk or golden troupe.

SquibblesMcGoo2026-02-01 15:22

Thanks!

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 15:50

Note that for Venti that‘s only if you play him as your Main DPS. If you play him as a support (like with Varka) he‘s still better on VV

FoxxyRin2026-02-01 15:17

Long story short a miracle happened and I ended up with Ineffa when I didn't think I would, so now I'm trying to figure out how to really build the best team with Columbina/Ineffa/Lauma. Should I pull for Neuvi and pray I can somehow pull him out of thin air as well? Wait for Flins? Use Columbina as the driver and add Aino? I have a pretty stacked Tartaglia (he was my first main), as well as Alhaitham, but honestly I'm a bit confused on this team comp and the guide I found says "Columbina/flex/flex/flex" with a whole list of characters that doesn't help much. Or maybe I'm doing too much and should be removing either Lauma or Ineffa? I will say, I don't really care for how Nefer feels, so I don't really want to go for her as an option.

International_You_562026-02-01 15:22

I'd use Lauma on field and add Xingqiu or Yelan for hyperbloom.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-01 15:27

to use Bina, Ineffa+Lauma, you really want a second hydro too. and if its not that Neuvillette that has some personal damage

then its preferably Aino for some reason, and putting Columbina on the Night dps set. that's only a problem if you want to mix and match teams

FoxxyRin2026-02-01 15:33

Yeah that's really where my concern lies. I hate moving artifact sets around lol. For convenience I don't *want* to use Columbina as a DPS but I'm lacking Neuvilette and unsure if I'll be able to pull a second miracle out this patch (and would like to start saving for a Lauma con plus Nicole/etc.) I guess for now I'll mess around with Tartaglia in his place and see what happens.

BeyondUranus2026-02-01 15:25

For a Bina, Ineffa, Varessa team, which is a better anemo support?
C2 Kazuha or C6 Sucrose?

International_You_562026-02-01 15:35

Sucrose, but I'd still use Iansan.

sidi_ahmed_belankas2026-02-01 15:25

a citlali team except for Mavuika and novalette team

when i started the game i got her on the last banner but i lost 50/50 on mavuika and now I learned more about the game and i do not like mavuika and her gameplay and the same with novalitte i dont like him
i try to poll for arlachino but again i lost 50\50

and now she might not returning until next year
are there any other options besides these three?

i have gaming just c1but i dont think he is good

International_You_562026-02-01 15:36

She can work with any pyro or hydro dps, so if Gaming is your only option, that's fine.

sidi_ahmed_belankas2026-02-01 15:50

what are the other options possible ?

International_You_562026-02-01 15:55

Arlecchino, Diluc, Hu Tao, Chasca, Yoimiya.

Particular_Eagle_5862026-02-01 15:31

Is mavuika worth to get without citlali like her other teams can get high numbers?

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 15:49

Yes, she‘s also good in Overload; especially if you have cons on your supports.

manipulat0r2026-02-01 15:54

She is good in overload. IMO I like Escoffier with Xilonen more and with my "skill issue" I get better dps. Also Furina C2 is better than C0 Citlali, and there are options with Xingqiu and other characters.
But be aware that you need to restore Mavuika burst with nightsoul from other Natlan characters, she has no energy.

Particular_Eagle_5862026-02-01 15:56

I have furina c1 can she vape with her ?

Also ororon c3, bennett c6 , iansan and chevreuse c0?

Maybe mavuika furina isansan bennet?

nuclear-experiment2026-02-01 15:32

Hi all, looking for advice or real experiences because I’m honestly a bit stuck and pretty stressed.

My child got hold of my iPhone and made a large number of in-app purchases in Genshin Impact over a few days without understanding it was real money.

It wasn’t one or two purchases — it was dozens of identical crystal bundles bought within seconds of each other. Basically tap → buy → convert → buy → repeat.

Total damage: £2,200+

Timeline looks crazy, for example:
• £99.99 purchase
• seconds later another £99.99
• then another
• sometimes 5–10 in minutes

Clearly not intentional adult spending.

What I did:
• Immediately requested refunds from Apple
• Explained a minor made the purchases
• Secured the account and enabled restrictions

Apple response: “Not eligible for refund.”

Then I contacted Halifax (credit card) asking for a chargeback for unauthorised transactions.

Halifax response: basically “your child made them so you’re responsible” and refused to proceed.

That feels wrong because I never authorised these payments myself.

Has anyone here actually:
• won an Apple appeal?
• succeeded with a bank chargeback?
• escalated to Financial Ombudsman?
• or managed to recover money in similar situations?

Would really appreciate hearing what worked (or didn’t). £2k+ is a painful lesson 😅

Thanks in advance 🙏

Unlikely_Director4822026-02-01 15:36

Who do you think I should get in the free cons event?

- Wanderer C1
- Ayaka C1
- Ganyu C1
- Xiao C2
- Childe C1
- Klee C1

My current mains are Arle, Flins, Neuvi and Skirk.
And my most recent pulls are Durin and Columbina.

nazran592026-02-01 15:56

I would go for whoever closes to C6 for that lv100 potions honestly

s0uxnda2026-02-01 15:41

I have a guaranteed, 0 pity and 112 pulls rn and im torn between saving it for escoffier or getting columbina rn. I have a laumaless nefer and a escoffierless skirk btw tho skirk performs a lot better than nefer. should i get bina or wait and get escoffier and then maybe lauma?

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 15:48

If you want to play Nefer then definitely get Lauma, she loses like 40% damage without her. columbina is also a nice upgrade for her.

And if you want to play Skirk then definitely get Escoffier.

Overall just get the characters for which DPS you prefer

s0uxnda2026-02-01 15:51

generally my all time fav is arlecchino but skirk and nefer both share 2nd place 😭 i tried getting lauma but lost my 50/50 😔 i’m running skirk with furina c0, charlotte and mona c1

PenguinDueWest2026-02-01 15:57

Skirk without Escoffier performs better than Nefer without Lauma as Skirk's team building options are more flexible. The thing is, once Nefer gets Lauma she is much more powerful. However, Columbina is not as vital a unit to Nefer than Lauma is so if it's between Columbina and Escoffier, Escoffier will improve the account more. Since you already have Furina for Skirk it's like having that Columbina for Nefer so ofc Skirk will perform better.

What I would recommend is simply getting both Columbina and Lauma if you have the pulls, and pulling Escoffier if you don't. I don't believe Freeze has the same staying power (DPS) as Lunar as it was released earlier, so switching up your investment into Nefer can be good, especially if you want to be powerful for the next round of Lunar shill on Lauma/Nefer reruns.

Freeze will last a while depending on how important cryo is in Snezhnaya, but in the cases where brute force DPS matters, Lunar will perform better given the proper investment which gives it more staying power likely till at least mid 7.x (tho honestly Hoyo could make some questionable powercreep changes like the second coming of Mavuika through Tsaritsa)

Aywopx2026-02-01 15:49

I run Columbina with Silken, I have her weapon. My Stats are
- 36,354 HP
- 80.2% Crit Rate
- 184.8% Crit Damage
- 153% Energy Recharge

i have these stats with only four artifacts, i still don’t have feather. what should i aim for?

Disastrous_Style8502026-02-01 15:56

More HP and crit dmg.

_binaria2026-02-01 15:52

My voidsea outlook exploration is stuck at 84%. I don't have any more chests left (according to the compass) and I have no clue where else to go. Is the rest locked behind some quests? Please help, I need to farm primos for Columbina. Lost hard pity to her and now I have to go to hard pity again for her (20 pulls left) (if you wanna help by giving primogems tho... hehe.)

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 16:01

You are probably missing some on the edges of the map; but yeah a few chests are locked behind quests, I think primarily the Reed Miller one. If you do that one you should get to 90% and find the rest with the compass.

Particular_Eagle_5862026-02-01 15:54

I have furina c1 can she vape with her ?

Also ororon c3, bennett c6 , iansan and chevreuse c0?

Appropriate_Law_69392026-02-01 15:55

How do I do the puzzle in nodkrai where the animal is like a brown bear looking, and is holding some red/blue seelee thing?

Abooudaa2026-02-01 15:58

I have a strong C0 skirk with uraku misugiri with C2 furina escoffier and yelan doing between 140000 dps and 145000 dps my highest dps team yet .

I also have a well built lauma nefer columbina nahida team not as strong as skirk (around 120000 dps).

I’m currently sitting on 80 wishes and i have 2 options:

1. ⁠wait till skirk banner and get C2 with uraku
2. ⁠pull for zibai then pull for skirk weapon+C1 if i have enough wishes and give uraku to zibai (2nd bis) but I’ll have to share columbina between nefer and zibai and since I’m not going deep in zibai banner I probably won’t get nor C6 illuga nor C6 goro which is a big loss in dps.

Which option is better for my account (I don’t have any problems clearing the endgame continent except from stygian fearless and dire difficulties)

KaiserDirth2026-02-01 16:00

So, what's with the players entering your world then leaving right after??? Just one word like a hello or nothing then leaving right after, what??????

LocalGamerPokemon2026-02-01 17:29

Theres a mini pressure plate on the island to the northwest of geo hypostasis area, any idea what its for? It starts a wind current that goes pretty high, I just dont know why lol

Visual-Milk77262026-02-01 18:23

If I remember correctly, it's just one of the way to go to the "heart island" a bit up north - (altho you can get there directly from the geo cube island thanks to another wind current), or to go back to the geo cube area.
I guess it kinda make sense to not leave you "stranded" on an island without any other way to leave but teleport out. At least for immersion purpose.

Apprehensive-Egg78662026-02-01 17:30

I want Neuvillette, but I don't know if I want him now or later. (The four stars on the upcoming banner are pretty bad.) Is he still meta?

TehEpicGuy1012026-02-01 17:35

He'll still clear just fine in Spiral Abyss and IT most of the time, but he struggles in Stygian.

For reference, the current crab boss we have in Stygian is the first time I've ever used him in the mode, and I have him with his signature.

unshackledkaiju2026-02-01 17:31

I dont have lan yan . Do i get her from the character selector or do i get xingqiu cons (i have xingqiu c2)

Propensity72026-02-01 17:53

Hmm

It kinda depends on if you have a specific use for her. If you have someone that strongly benefits from a shield/IR, like a Charged Shot bow character or someone that doesn't want to be interrupted in their attack string, then Lan Yan is kind of a shoe in. Similarly, if you need more Anemo characters for IT, then a new character is preferable

Xingqiu's C2 isn't as notable as his C6, but it does extend his Burst length a little. On the other hand, you could net his C2 in March from Paimon's Bargains. On the third hand which everyone else also has I swear, getting Xingqiu now and in March means you're *a little* closer to his C6.

It mostly kinda depends on if you have a reason to get Lan Yan. Like if you just want to get her, that's more than enough reason

JAntaresN2026-02-01 17:32

Today’s IT made me realized how trash my geo teams are 💀.

I guess Zibai is coming home…

Aywopx2026-02-01 17:32

I have Columbina on Silken and Ineffa on Aubade. How much ER do i need for Columbina and How much EM do i need for Ineffa.

Visual-Milk77262026-02-01 18:15

Columina's ER varies a lot depending on teams. Mine has 220 ER and it's just barely enough as solo Hydro versus a single boss without any Fav on the team (so worst scenario) - she can go down to 150 or 160 on a more favorable scenario.

Ineffa appreciate EM, but doesn't "need" it. She get by with whatever the team EM buffs give (SMS, Sucrose, etc) and some sub stats

polarpop312026-02-01 17:38

Will Zibai need Columbina? I just got back into game after some time off and was thinking about skipping Columbina and waiting for Zibai instead. But it looks like Columbina will be pretty crucial for her? Or maybe Im wrong.

Im a few wishes away from guaranteed limited 5 so idk if i should pull for Bina and then hope I can grab Zibai too or just wait for Zibai. Mainly I just think Zibai is so pretty and her design is just beautiful.

I dont have Flins/Ineffa for Bina but I do have Nefer/Lauma.

Any advice? Please and thank you 🙏

International_You_562026-02-01 17:49

No, but Zibai needs a second nod krai character. One of her best f2p team is with Aino, Illuga and Gorou.

hotdogsea2026-02-01 17:42

Is the difference between Signature Lauma weapon and R5 Spindlelute *small* enough to warrant a skip?

how does that compare to someone like, Zibai Signature vs her best R5 non-5star weapon? (4\* or 3\*)

TehEpicGuy1012026-02-01 17:45

Yes, it is. Lauma's sig is one of the lowest value sigs we've gotten in a good while.

hotdogsea2026-02-01 18:04

I see, thank you!

Any other notable low value signatures? So I could avoid them?

Disregard the "only useable on the character it was meant for" types because I think a lot of sigs in recent times are tailor-made to the character they're running with (so they're still good when compared to the F2P counterpart), unlike before where majority could have been used as stat sticks.

Im asking more of like "F2P counterpart is *almost* as good as their signature" types.

TehEpicGuy1012026-02-01 18:06

I'd say 2 of the bigger pitfalls would be for Furina and Xilonen's sigs.

Acadeca2026-02-01 18:09

Kokomi/Baizhu/Zhongli/Sigewinne maybe?

leRedd12026-02-01 18:28

Yeah it's like lowest priority, only should be considered after like C2 on rest of the team.

Zibai sig is good but you'd rather get her C1 first cause of Illuga cons, and get sig on rerun. But assuming you somehow gonna have C6 Illuga at C0 Zibai, sig is better.

WeakRip19692026-02-01 17:47

So i already have lan yan c2 , should i go for any other character? ( i have gaming c6 , yanfie c6, xingqu c6, yangling c6, ) so .. i will pick ning ig

ge6ujl2026-02-01 17:52

hey yall

so the thing is that i cleared all the enkanomiya map, meaning that i grabbed all the key sigils
BUT not the one that you get in the mirror because i havent finished the quest with 5 books

i also used all the keys i had and figured out that i dont have the last one to activate the last seal
and it happened to be the seal that i need to use to complete the quest to get the last key sigil

what do i do

Sheeplette2026-02-01 18:03

I'd look up how to get whichever book you're stuck on. Going through the wiki pages for each of the books, it doesn't look like any of them require key sigils to access.

MartenBroadcloak192026-02-01 17:52

How is Hexerai Mona used in terms of set and teams? I have C4.

SorrogWaltz2026-02-01 18:19

Hello, as someone that has skipped the entirety of the lunar characters exept Jahoda: if I were to pull for Zibai, does she enables "only" lunar cristallyze?

Or..if I put a hydro/electro/dendro in that team, I can also have the rest of the "lunar reactions" as well? (lunar bloom and lunar charged) Probably not right? I just want to make sure (only Columbina can right?)

I'm asking because I only need one character to lv 70 for unlocking the lunar difficulty (yup everyone is levelled and I changed the Traveler element to pyro) and..I might be inclined to only get Illuga instead.
No, I do not want Columbina..

-tjm-2026-02-01 18:21

Columbina is the only character that enables *all* Lunar reactions. Each of the other Nod-Krai 5\*s only enables the lunar reaction between hydro and their specific element, so Lunar Crystallise for Zibai. (4\*s don't enable lunar reactions at all.)

SorrogWaltz2026-02-01 18:27

It is as I feared then. Thank you, hope for an early Illuga it is then.

International_You_562026-02-01 18:41

Zibai only enables lunar crystallize. If you want her, you can play her with Aino and Illuga (if you happen to get him).

dearmarin2026-02-01 18:26

I forgot to collect my disturbance outbreak feather reward. Does this mean I just straight up don't get it? ToT

Ecstatic-Train2142026-02-01 18:32

Where does everyone get dps calculation?

I debating on either getting Ineffa or Nefer.

I have Columbina and Lauma. Completely F2P

Acadeca2026-02-01 18:44

Usually it is by approximating the damage over a rotation and dividing it by the length of the rotation. Or by searching someone else that has done similar and taking their word for it.

Additionally you can test your own output against the milliatra dummy, but it doesn’t let you use characters you don’t have.

Ecstatic-Train2142026-02-01 19:21

Do you think I should get Ineffa or Nefer?

polarpop312026-02-01 18:44

Anyone here play on steam deck? Just got one about a week ago and loving it. Moved from being a mobile player to the deck.

My question is how did you format your controls? Did you use any of the regular templates or community layouts? I tried several of both and none were quite comfy to me so I ended up spending a few hours experimenting and came up with my own layout. So just curious if any of the existing ones worked well for anyone or if most people just edit their own.

Unimpressed-Gengar2026-02-01 18:44

I have Flins Bina, and Sucrose, should I use Kuki or Aino? (or whoever else is better except for Ineffa because I don't have her)

TechnicallyHankHill2026-02-01 18:49

Fischl >>> Ororon > Kuki > Dori. However, if you really find yourself wanting a healer then go ahead and use Kuki.

TheSunIsAlreadyMine2026-02-01 18:52

Should I get c2 gaming or c4 Yao Yao? I really want to become a gaming main (he will be my pyro main since I want a main from each element) once he is c6 but I use Yao Yao way more and use her in my clorinde team. Even if I get Gaming I won’t use him for the near future but I do use Yaoyao often

OrphanCrow2026-02-01 19:09

yaoyao cons arent that valuable as she is already good even with no cons. gaming c2

TheSunIsAlreadyMine2026-02-01 21:01

Thank you

fatimabaig20052026-02-01 18:56

Meta wise what would be the best character to pull right now?

Nadi-newb2026-02-01 19:06

if you don't know, then it's not important right now, aka pull who you like, that way you'll get the most of your investment.

OrphanCrow2026-02-01 19:08

columbina+ineffa combo can get you through lunar shill content and is flexible enough to put in other teams

Mande1baum2026-02-01 19:12

Way too many variables makes it a kind of meaningless question. Meta in terms of clearing F12 Abyss? Meta in terms of clearing *this* Fearless SO? Meta in terms of guessing *future* Fearless SO meta? Meta in terms of team high DPS *floor* with low 1-2x 5-star cost? Meta in terms of working towards premium teams with 3-5x 5-star cost with a higher DPS *ceiling*? Meta in terms of whaling? And that's before factoring in what you personally already have on account (do you have synergistic characters already? overlap with other teams in terms of character and element).

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 18:57

To anyone using Columbina as a main DPS: How much ER do you have on Lauma (to burst every rotation)?
(Assuming she's solo Dendro)

Sneaky_Kid692026-02-01 18:58

I need help, I got columbina, and I just pulled ineffa cause I’m planning to get flins, but don’t know which artifacts would go best with each character, my columbina is on silken moon rn, and from what I’ve read silken and aubade are good for ineffa, what I’m tryna understand is which ones will be best for ineffa, bina and flins

Tldr: best artifacts for bina, ineffa, flins, sucrose team

Edit: would be appreciated to know the best weapons for each idk if I’ll pull for flins weapon yet but I got amber on bina and raiden sig on ineffa (jade out the question arle needs it lol)

International_You_562026-02-01 19:00

Flins night sky, Bina silken moon, Ineffa aubade.

joy_reading2026-02-01 19:01

Debating with myself about who to get for Lantern Rite.

* C3 Gaming (who I enjoy playing and want to C6 one day)
* C6 Yaoyao (I have Baizhu though)
* C0 Lan Yan (My only shields are Nicole, Layla, and Diona)

I am mostly playing Nefer and Neuvi teams at the moment but might pull Zibai or Varka or whatever DPS is next.

OrphanCrow2026-02-01 19:04

lanyan for neuvi is nice also how do you have nicole? ToT

[Among my characters](https://imgur.com/a/57UnDTI), which talents are best to be leveled up/crowned for meta reasons?

the talents are in the last 3 columns that go in this order: NA | Skill | Burst

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 19:23

Definitely crown Lauma's skill and burst, they both provide a lot of value. Other than that Columbina's burst and skill are also prime candidates.

Nadi-newb2026-02-01 19:33

Escoffiers Skill is strong enough that it deserves a crown, maybe her burst, when paired with Fufu

Kazuhas NA is way more important than his Skill / Burst unless you don't plunge with him.

What should my rotations be for nefer’s team against the dog? I get it to a very small amount of hp and feel like it might be possible with better rotations or better artifacts

Nefer c0 r1 thousand floating dreams 4pc night sky
Lauma c0 r5 spindelute 2pc 2pc em
Xingqiu c6 r4 sac serenade
Nahida c0 r5 prototype amber deepwood

I have fav for xingqiu if that makes it better although i don’t think my energy is an issue

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 19:40

Switch out XQ for Aino, she's quite a bit better than him in that team.

Sadmeowboy2026-02-01 19:42

She’s already on my ineffa team for the second boss

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 19:47

Have you tried beating the second boss without Aino? Ineffa isn't very reliant on her.

Sadmeowboy2026-02-01 19:54

That team is the only one that i could beat it with, i leveled up ineffa so she might be capable of doing it without aino, not sure if I should do a full lunar charged team or chasca durin mona ineffa

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 19:59

Do you maybe have another Hydro/Electro DPS that could replace Chasca here? Like Neuvillette/Clorinde/Varesa?

If you don't then it's probably better to just go Ineffa XQ Fischl Sucrose.

Sadmeowboy2026-02-01 20:12

I barely cleared with aino fischl sucrose ineffa, don’t think i will be able to do it with xq, but i do have c3 raiden the only problem is getting her burst will he has the shield up

nlopnlipa2026-02-01 20:18

I just tried it and my C0 Raiden got him to 1% HP first try, your C3 Raiden should easily do it. She might not even need Ineffa Considering C0 Clorinde also clears easily without Ineffa.

Sadmeowboy2026-02-01 20:32

Who should i run with her though? Raiden ineffa, i have yelan and durin, maybe that works?

How do I connect my ps acc to my laptop

TehEpicGuy1012026-02-01 19:55

Open up the game on your PlayStation. Go to Settings<Account<User Center. From there, you should be able to create a Hoyoverse account and link it to your account.

Once you've done that, you can use that Hoyoverse account to log in on other platforms, such as your laptop.

goumyu2026-02-01 20:52

alternatively, you can do it on their [account management website](https://account.hoyoverse.com/).

there's a psn login option at the bottom of the login window (under "more login methods") and once you're in, add an email in the personal information section.

Caedesturm2026-02-01 19:50

what's the pick for free lantern rite char if I already have c6 XQ? I'm torn between Gaming c2 to eventually get c6 someday long after it isn't even relevant anymore, c1 Yanfei bc she is cute, or c4 Xiangling. Otherwise might just take someone I don't have yet just to get the free blue wish? If it matters at all for the other chars I have c0 Lan Yan, don't own Beidou, don't own Ningguang, c0 Chongyun, don't own Xinyan, don't own Yun Jin, c3 Yaoyao.

RaspberryLanky79052026-02-01 20:10

c2 lanyan is very nice is you ever see yourself needing a shielder and VV in the same character. c4 is xianglings best con. but going for the blue wishes is also fine if you never play the 4 stars anyway.

turtrooper2026-02-01 20:02

Besides ER, which other stat does Aino needs more, EM or HP?

I don't know which goblet to use on her.

Edit: My Aino uses the event Claymore from Natlan and she also has about 210% ER (sands + substats).

Nadi-newb2026-02-01 20:04

doesn't matter, if you have Fav on her, use any with a high critrate substat and or ER.

turtrooper2026-02-01 20:08

My Aino uses the event Claymore from Natlan, and she has about 210% ER (from sands + substats)

I guess she's probably fine then.

I was just wandering if using HP or EM goblet could somewhat increase her personal damage.

Nadi-newb2026-02-01 20:24

yea, if her burst hits for 510 instead of 500, really doesn't matter, but maybe, if she's lvl 70, a HP goblet wouldn't be wrong

International_You_562026-02-01 20:06

EM or hydro damage, whichever give more er and crit rate (if you have favonius).

Tornadolus2026-02-01 20:06

Weekly treasure limit reached:

Okay, hello everyone, i really need someone to explain to me how this works.

Every week, you can challenge specific bosses once for reward. Curently it's Dvalin, Childe, Azdaha, Signora, Ei, Wanderer, Apep's guard, Whale, Arlecchino, Chess, that Natlan Dragon and Dottore.
For each you get the chance to claim reward once a week. With those three discounts at the resin cost each week. All of them can be viewed in the adventure handbook as trounce domains.

Then there is Andrius. He can be fought once a week, but isn't considered a trounce domain, and i am not aware of any other boss, that has these properties. The ones i know about are either not capped to once a week, or are trounce domains.

So my question is, what makes the message of weekly treasure limit reached appear?

Andrius is the only boss where this limit appears and there is no explanation as to why.

I haven't fought him yet this week but i can't claim the reward. I tried looking on the internet for an answer, but haven't found one... Many people that were replying to this confused dicounts on resin and the once per week limit in rest of the trounce domains, which is not what i am asking about.

So, does anyone here have an explantion of what makes Andrius unclaimable, even if he wasn't fought this week?

What else adds to the weekly treasure limit?

I would very much apreciate your help in this matter.
Thanks a lot everyone and have a nice lantern rite.

RaspberryLanky79052026-02-01 20:11

its for lore. Andrius is actually living in the forest and we are actually sparring with him. the other trounce domains are the MC remembering that fight.

And you should be able to claim the reward, what you can't claim is the 50% discount resin cost of the reward.

Tornadolus2026-02-01 20:23

The problem is, it looks really random. One, two or even three weeks it's fine and then suddenly, weekly treasure limit reached. I would like to understand what makes that happen, so i can anticipate it, when it's supposed to happen.

RaspberryLanky79052026-02-01 20:25

it resets on monday morning.

Tornadolus2026-02-01 20:30

well yeah, i know about that, the only problem is, that for an entire week i loose on Andriuses rewards... And as far as i am aware, he is the main source of Dream Solvent. So it's annoing not to be able to get that... when you have a chance only once a week.

Edit: i looked and it seems that every trounce domain can give dream solvent... but still Andriuses rewards are important even without dream solvent and it's pain in the ass to wait two weeks for one reward.

RaspberryLanky79052026-02-01 20:36

honestly i don't know what you are talking about. i have never experienced your problem.

Nadi-newb2026-02-01 20:15

"weekly" bosses reward loot one time every week. In the adventurers handbook, they are called "trounce domain", and only Andrius is in the over-world.

Tornadolus2026-02-01 20:24

so i was right he is the only one like this... Whcih makes it even harder to understand why it works like this... when it's not explained anywhere.

goumyu2026-02-01 21:29

there are two kinds of bosses: world bosses reward ascension mats and weekly bosses reward talent mats.

andrius gives talent mats so that makes him a weekly boss.

> I haven't fought him yet this week but i can't claim the reward.

not sure about this. maybe a bug? i don't remember there being a limit to how many weekly bosses you can claim rewards from so it should be claimable if you haven't claimed the rewards yet this week.

are you sure you didn't claim it yet this week? maybe you fought him in coop in someone else' world and claimed the rewards there?

Mental_Top91292026-02-01 20:24

so im kinda confused on whether i should pull for zibai or skirk and escoffier, i heard zibai was a bit more flexible but i also dont have any meta cry dps

my 5 stars: columbina, arlecchino, yelan, clorinde, zhongli, kazuha, yae miko, raiden, furina, neuvillette, mulani, nilou, tartaglia, shenhe, ganyu, venti, and all standard chars

Lapams2026-02-01 20:51

You are both missing a cryo dps and a lunar dps. Question is do you care about clearing stygian if yes I would pick zibai and skirk and grab escof on another re run. I tried to do the cryo boss on stygian with ganyu and its was painful and it’s gonna be back next patch.

wanderl4st2026-02-01 21:18

how do you think columbina will fair on a new account / early game? do you think she’ll be able to clear most of the content? would she perform okay without any nodkrai units?

TechnicallyHankHill2026-02-01 21:19

>do you think she’ll be able to clear most of the content?

In game exploration? You'll be fine. Endgame modes? You'll want a Nod Krai team.

Grab Zibai in like two days and you'll be good to go

pzlama3332026-02-01 21:28

She sprints fast than all other characters in the game so it is definitely helpful for exploration. Her damage without another Nod Krai character is not so good when compared other newer characters, but still better than free characters, and it is automatic aoe and does not require burst, so I believe it should be fine for a brand new account. There are enough primos from exploration, so if you indeed pull her, try to farm then pull Ineffa/Zibai if possible.

Nadi-newb2026-02-01 21:47

it was kind of a consensus that Ineffa should be pulled first, Columbina will get a rerun much sooner.

With the free Aino you get a strong lunar-charged team

i have columbina, nefer and lauma but im not planning on pulling for flins. i also have skirk, furina and yelan

Dessing2026-02-02 03:14

Need some advice on whether to try for C2 Columbina or go for Zibai?

I have Ineffa and Nefer, no Flins or Lauma. No one has their sigs.

pzlama3332026-02-02 03:18

Save enough for Lauma first, then either Flins or Zibai.

minusSeven2026-02-02 07:41

meh, you want to go either Lauma Nefer route or Ineffa Flin route. At this point you might as well save for Flins or Lauma and make existing team stronger. Zibai over c2 columbina is also fine.

Exdeath-EX2026-02-02 04:44

The area is blocked by the event quest. Do that first.

redpandafire2026-02-02 03:43

Thinking of going for Flins instead of Zibai. I have to make a nod krai team for lunar shilling. Have C0R1 ineffa and Columbina. They are great. But Zibai seems like I need constellations on Billuga. If I pull Zibai and actually her play style is kind of boring, I’ll not have enough for Flins rerun in next patch. On the other hand if Zibai can run all four stars, that’s a second lunar team for the shilling. Hmm

pzlama3332026-02-02 03:52

Since there is no news when Flins may have a rerun, it is best to wait a few more days after Zibai is released, so other players can test her more comprehensively, then you can make a decision before her banner ends. I also have heard that Zibai + Xilonen/Zhongli + Columbina + Ineffa also perform similar to Illuga + Gorou, but it is still better to wait other players to test them in test dummy map.

redpandafire2026-02-02 03:59

Out of curiosity where do you get your confirmation from? YouTubers seem to all be quite “omg she’s OP!!11” in the creator server. Is it just general community sentiment on reddit?

ENIG0R2026-02-02 03:49

EM or Atk sands mavuika for imaginarium?

PenguinDueWest2026-02-02 04:38

ATK is more versatile but since Mavuika is a unit that you'd want to save for her vaporize teams for tackling harder bosses through higher DPS EM can be better. It all depends on your strategy and your available units.

Acadeca2026-02-02 04:46

You get so many buffs by the time that you get to later floors of theater that it becomes obscure. I went with attack as it was still decent in vape/melt teams but was more consistent in case I didn’t have Bennett or another attack buffer on the team.

minusSeven2026-02-02 07:38

Depends on team. In overload its atk in melt or vape its em but it depends on the full team and sets on each and every character. You want to balance everything.

Even after all that its not much of difference between them either way.

Appropriate_Party5142026-02-02 05:14

Accidentally ended up with c2 ineffa from c0. I don’t have flins. Do I lose a lot of value from those cons without him? Do these cons change anything about team building or character builds?

crowcrown2026-02-02 05:25

C2 Ineffa is very strong independantly, even if you don't have Flins. by combining her with Aino or (ideally) Columbina, you can use her on essentially any team.

Her best set remains Aubade, and you would put Serenade on whichever teammate (Aino or Columbina) you run alongside her.

(typo'd Bina instead of Ineffa, sorry.)

Wave-Master2026-02-02 05:32

See this joke post about Flins teams https://redd.it/1qteg06 (if you don't get it, look at Flins's personal damage below the DPS number)

Flins is the least important SSR in Flins teams, with Ineffa and Columbina both being more important to the team. Rather than losing a lot of value if you don't have Flins, you're more worried about having Columbina. Though if you don't have her, you can still use Aino.

pzlama3332026-02-02 05:36

For vertical investment priority, Ineffa's C1 is good, but her later cons are less impactful, and her C2 is behind Flins C6 and Columbina C6.

MidsummerAnti2026-02-02 05:39

what are prismatic crystals in milliastra wonderland used for?

KyrrithK2026-02-02 05:44

They're Robux, creators of games can add their own microtransactions to them, and the crystals are the currency.

ShinakoX22026-02-02 05:45

Who should I pull for in terms of meta and future usability? Ineffa, Zibai, or Neuvillette? I already have Nefer, Lauma, and Columbina.

I'm not interested in Flins, but I know Ineffa can still be useful outside of Flins teams.

Zibai and Nefer both want Columbina for their best teams, but I doubt I'll need to use both of their best teams at the same time in Stygian anyway. I also don't have any 5* geo main DPS.

I'm not sure how useful Nevui will be in the future, I usually invite him from friends in IT anyway, but I don't have any strong 5* hydro main DPS. For hydro main DPS I only have Mona, Columbina, and Tartaglia. I already have Furina.

KyrrithK2026-02-02 06:58

If you don't have a good Electro DPS, I'd lean towards Ineffa. She on her own is not bad, and with Bina too is extremely good.

Neuvi isn't really going to be 'meta' for endgame, except when he's being shilled. But if you want a comfy clear for IT or Abyss he's still solid.

As for Zibai, depends on how hard you go on her banner tbh. If you get Illuga C6 and Aino C6, she can have a great team on her own. But to get both of those you'll probably get C1 first. Calcs show C1 Zibai + C6 Illuga/Aino = 146k, vs 150k with C0 + C2 Illuga + C0 Bina

ShinakoX22026-02-02 07:01

I have a good Varesa team, so I'm pretty set for electro DPS.

I'm definitely not going to hit C1 Zibai or C6 Illuga/Aino, so I would probably run her with Columbina. My Nefer team can do just fine without Columbina anyway.

Fun_Estimate77872026-02-02 05:50

Hi everyone, what would be better, just columbina and ineffa with another electro/hydro or columbina ineffa and lauma?

Greypawz2026-02-02 05:56

Depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re trying to play Columbina as an on-field DPS, Lauma is practically mandatory. If you’re just running the bineffa wheelchair for a different on-field character, you’d rather just go Sucrose instead of Lauma.

Fun_Estimate77872026-02-02 05:58

I’m trying to make a 3 person team that can beat abyss. I want the last slot to be open for whoever I want to play at that time yk

Greypawz2026-02-02 06:00

Yeah Lauma won’t do anything for you in a wheelchair team. Better to run Sucrose, Bennett, or another off-field hydro depending on who that last character is.

Fun_Estimate77872026-02-02 06:05

It’s gonna be c6 ifa or tartaglia

Greypawz2026-02-02 06:07

Sucrose

Fun_Estimate77872026-02-02 06:07

Alr tysm

minusSeven2026-02-02 07:35

Fishl vs Lauma will be mostly similar dps. Its only Flin + sucrose that is a direct improvement on this team.

pzlama3332026-02-02 06:26

Able-Cantaloupe-94272026-02-02 06:06

Columbina c6, ineffa c2, lauma and never both c0, what should rotation be, ineffa columbina has sign but not lauma and nefer

KyrrithK2026-02-02 06:18

Nefer E >> Columbina N1EQ > Ineffa E (Q) > Lauma hE Q > Nefer E 3CD E 3CD >> Bina...

Ideally you need to remove the Dendro aura with Bina and add Hydro so that Ineffa can trigger LC at least for a while. Also have to be careful to time Ineffa's skill app just after Bina's app, otherwise if Lauma's skill gets between them you will likely have less uptime on the LC cloud, so less Ineffa DMG overall.

Question: To anyone that hasn't done the Nod-Krai story. Does the Lantern Rite Festival give away a lot of things, or does it work around it?

TehEpicGuy1012026-02-02 06:26

It's mentioned a few things from the Nod-Krai story, including 1 thing that could be considered a pretty substantial spoiler. The Lantern Rite story for this year will be permanent, so you could just hold off on playing it for now if that sounds worrying to you.

ilyana_wolf2026-02-02 06:28

Thanks, I was just wondering. I already have everything done.

KyrrithK2026-02-02 06:26

It's very direct about one major plot point at the end of NK, the other stuff is pretty vague so far.

Remember that you can unlock the minigames by doing the first 5 mins (with no spoilers), get most of the rewards, then save the story for later since it's permanent. Don't remember of the top of my head if you get tokens for doing the story.

shawarmaconquistador2026-02-02 06:57

Is Zibai worth for someone with no GEO carry?

No Navia& Itto. I have Chiori and Albedo C1 tho.

Would Zibai be worth for my account? I have charaters that will make her shine like Columbina, C6 Aino and C6 Gorou, Zhongli.

Tho Im not sure if shes more of a Geo carry or a Lunar carry. I already have a pretty strong Lunar team.

KyrrithK2026-02-02 07:03

She's kinda both Geo and Lunar carry. And Geo carry is very low in priority, of existing bosses only the Geo Wolflord is truly Geo shill. The other bosses with Geo shields can also be dealt with by Claymores or Overload teams pretty well.

If you like her playstyle, then she'd be a fine pickup I'm sure. But if you aren't impressed, I wouldn't worry about needing to pull her either, especially if you DO have a Lunar team already.

minusSeven2026-02-02 07:33

Luckly you have the right units to go along side her. Chiori is probably one of the best 4th slot in columbina, illuga, zibai teams. Albedo got buffed recently and can be used alongside Chiori. Even Zhongli works here.

guyprox72026-02-02 07:05

Anyone else gadget quick swap not working?

JrButton2026-02-02 07:11

So... I've really slacked off when it comes to geo. I don't have any of the core geo dps carries.

Im missing Zhongli (not dps ik), navia, itto, albedo, chiori etc... I have a lot of the 4 stars : goro, ningguam, and even xilonen as my only 5* geo.

What would you guys recommend to round things out a bit on the geo front? Ideally need a strong dps.

I have bina so zibai might be the way to go... or should I hold out for navia or something else?

Its crazy bc I have most of the rest of the best Natlan and now nod krai carries... I can clear most stuff with ez but I've definitely felt the lack of geo recently so looking for advice.

Thanks!

TechnicallyHankHill2026-02-02 07:56

Zibai is the top geo DPS rn. Navia is a great choice too and she greatly appreciates lunar crystallize.

Mande1baum2026-02-02 07:59

Is Columbina your only NK or is she critical to a different lunar team? If it’s just her, zibai is a good option. If you have a lunar team already it’s less appealing though zibai has a strong 4-star team.

You say youve felt the lack of geo but what do you mean? I don’t think any recent SO has required geo. I noticed 1 side boss in IT a couple months ago had the violin centaur boss, but there was a free Navia available who could handle it or borrow from a friend. That’s the only thing I’ve remembered recently. So I’m not seeing the same urgent need for a geo team as you.

Apprehensive-Egg78662026-02-02 10:00

Zibai and Navia. Navia makes for a good quick swap in Zibai teams.

If you have her event weapon, not much.

ErrorEra2026-02-02 08:20

Is that the missive windspear? If so, that weapon doesn't give any ER.

LavenderPaperback2026-02-02 07:52

How do you unlock Nod-Krai compass? I’m helping my sister grind for Columbina and she doesn’t even have any meeting point marks on her map 😭

Mande1baum2026-02-02 07:54

Must do the quests to unlock each meeting point in single player, not co-op.

KyrrithK2026-02-02 07:57

Have to do the NK AQ up to the free Aino part, that unlocks the individual quests.

LavenderPaperback2026-02-02 07:58

Oh she’s cooked then 🧍

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 09:16

needs to quickstart Nod Krai

ErrorEra2026-02-02 08:12

If Columbina+Ineffa paired together, what artifacts sets should they have? I'm been seeing different answers when Bina first came out. Now that's it's been awhile, is there a more definite answer on which sets?

What set when Bina is not paired with other nodkrai? (Bina/Fischl/Sucrose/flex)

manipulat0r2026-02-02 08:41

There are still different answers.

For more universal setup Columbina on serenade, Ineffa on Aubade.

For most damage for wheelchair both on Aubade sets. For most of their pair damage Ineffa on Night Sky staying on field for crit buff and 2-sets buff, Columbina on Serenade.
Solo Columbina on Aubade is more optimal, but you can also use Serenade without second buff.

Thank you!

What would be the best team available for Chasca, if Chasca uses Chain Breaker? Also is Durin good in Chasca team?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 08:50

best team available is what you have
but its either pyro, hydro, electro
or pyro, hydro, cryo.
dont mix electro and cryo for Chasca
id say something like Aino and Ororon but that lacks sustai
i useda c2+ Barbara holding ttds for a while
Durin works but most people pick Bennett as their healer

Rough-Stranger-3142026-02-02 09:24

But what team would be best, if you could choose any characters? I'm just thinking my future pulls, because I want to make my Chasca team stronger. I have Ineffa and Columbina, so would Durin be good to get on his rerun?

ToshiShard2026-02-02 08:17

is durin, columbina, ineffa, and xilonen a good team? or replace xilonen with sucrose (i only have her at c0) what should the rotation be?

TheToppatAmongUs2026-02-02 08:28

Fischl/Mona and Sucrose is more synergy than Durn and Xilonen for any Lunar team (other than Lunar Crystallize for Xilo)

ToshiShard2026-02-02 08:31

do i use durin, sucrose, ineffa, and bina then?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 08:45

that kind of works

TomatilloUnfair65622026-02-02 08:25

Is Arlechinno, Columbina, kazuha and Bennett team allright?

notafurry92026-02-02 08:27

sure. you're not getting the most value out of columbina, but it works

TheodoreMcIntyre2026-02-02 08:37

>Is Arlechinno, Columbina, kazuha and Bennett team allright?

It'll probably be fine for most things, but it has two major faults with it;

1) If you're doing content that requires lunar reactions, this team will be lacking.

2) Like all Nod-Krai characters, you're losing value in Columbina by not pairing her with at least one other NK unit to trigger Ascendant Gleam.

Again, this is fine for most things. If you're just exploring the overworld or whatever, team composition doesn't really matter that much since it's really easy. But you may struggle on gimmicky abyss floors or stygian bosses.

Do I need to complete the Song of the Welkin Moon quests before I can start the Lantern Rite event? Collecting coins for the shop, etc...

KyrrithK2026-02-02 08:43

You can do the first 5 mins, unlock the minigames, and play through those without spoilers. But the rest of the quest does spoil a pretty big plot point from the end of the newest AQ. Luckily it's permanent this time, so you can save it for later if you're really worried.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 08:43

they warn you that it might spoil something.
not that you cant do it at all
(i only finished story yesterday so dont know what spoiler is other than connection to the moon)
it should only be in the story part, i think

PhyrexianRogue2026-02-02 08:50

No. It's not a requirement.

It is a recommended quest because the Lantern Rite story takes place after NK AQ, and may talk about or reference those events. (haven't played that yet, so no idea how much). It is also a permanent quest (Similar to Natlans summer quest), so no urgent need to do it now.

You can just start Lantern Rite and go do the minigames, coins etc without continuing the story quest after the introduction. (early bit doesn't really spoil anything).

Mindless-Product-9112026-02-02 08:45

What should I use for columbina Sacrificial jade or Dawning frost.

notafurry92026-02-02 09:11

jade if you're not overcapped on crit rate

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 09:15

got enough er to burst and hp?

Appropriate_Law_69392026-02-02 08:49

For my main wanderer c6r1, Should I get c6 durin or venti for support? I have c0 furina, zhongli, other 4* supports at c6. But I really need a shielder on my team because I can’t dodge. What other characters do u guys recommend?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 09:14

something like Durin Fischl and Beidou?

How to solve this puzzle?

KazakiriKaoru2026-02-02 09:45

Connect multiple of the kuuvahki points into a line

k0m0lika2026-02-02 09:26

Where can I check online how much CRIT RATE/DMG or ER, etc. each character requires?
Is there a website or something.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 09:46

google: name kqm
Keqingmains is the most recommend build site
but no, its mostly just ER that gets specified
outside of specific passive goals, everything is "as high as you can get it"
except for some characters that can cap or get close to capping crit rate

if you want to check very highly rated character builds, check Akasha
might not have category for all NodKrai units yet though

suyashaman2026-02-02 09:29

Is it a good time to come back to the game? I left after completing natlan

Joe_from_ungvar2026-02-02 09:44

well youre kind of on the last day to get Columbina, the premium hydro for the other NK characters
but next phase Zibai, has the ideal 4 stars for her teams if that interests you
next patch has Varka,

note, some characters got put into a Hexerei group, got buffed
this includes Venti, Klee, Albedo, Fischl, Mona, Sucrose, Razor, Durin and soon Varka.
they got direct buffs, but everyone also got something that requires a hexerei teammate specifically

suyashaman2026-02-02 09:58

Us hexerei a new region, a mechanic? What is it?

FlyingRencong2026-02-02 09:57

Better Nilou or Ayaka for the to temper thyself? Both are c0, but I don't really play them now

HorribleDat2026-02-02 10:00

Nilou, C1 give better hydro uptime which can be handy for IT, and if they ever reset the selections her C2 is a nice boost to team damage.
