agree with everything but tip 8, I play this game for fun not to complete the game. I don't think that pulling for a character with bigger numbers will make the game more enjoyable if I don't like it.
That’s perfectly fine too! Not everyone is playing to min max the game, which is completely fine. This is more for players who enjoy playing for value more. Thanks for watching by the way! I’ve seen you comment since the early days of my videos!
As an Interknot lvl 56 here's my tips especially for beginners. 1. Don't touch your energy batteries to grind for lvl and disc drives until you finished the main story / sidemissions. you'll guaranteed to be lvl 45 without using it. you only use batteries for special purposes like grinding your freshly pulled S-rank's lvl, disc drives, W-Engine, skills and so on. you can save at least maybe around 30 and the extra ones can be used from time to time but don't use it to lvl yourself cause you're wasting it and you'll never get much in the later levels unless you pay for battlepasses or shop. 2. Plan your build ahead as mistakes will not only waste your energy but you also waste your precious DENNIES as high level agents are very expensive to build. 3. always maximize your hollow zero guide. the max weekly grind for z-merits is 900 which is equivalent to 6 runs for exploration(you can quit after the 2nd checkpoint) or 6 full-run for blitz and z-merits will save you alot for grinding Dennies and other materials while saving your energies later on. 4. Grind your Travelling mimo, Web events, and Twitch drops. If you're F2p or want to farm Polychromes for free, you definitely need to farm these especially if you want to pull more waifus without breaking your wallet. 5. Join Groups which can help you get redeemable codes. don't neglect them as getting codes can you ALOT of Polychromes as much as 800 Polychromes for free. 6. For whales or semi-whales, this is my recommendations to where you should spend your money first. Interknot membership > Battlepass(not the premium unless you're not grinding your battlepass) > Interknot packages(the one you see on the Shop with the lvl) > Polychromes 7. Level your skill points depending on the highest DPS & use priority. for example, for nicole, you need to prioritize in maxing her Chain attack/EX with at least decent Assist lvl i suggest at least 9/12. for basic and dodge, you can lvl them up later once you've fully built your team. 8. Synergize is optional but highly recommended if you want to S rank your Shiyu Defense. Time is crucial and if you want to S rank the Shiyu Defense, prioritize building your main 2 teams with the DPS/Anomaly agents at lvl 60. There are 3 teams which are you can build. Ice or Ether, Fire or Physical, then Shock. for example, if I have an ether team, i can skip building an Ice team momentarily or mix them both on a team. as for the 2nd, it's always either Fire or Physical while a Shock Team can be formed if the enemy weakness is Shock. 9. S rank bangboos > rank 5 A rank bangboos as the stat differences are just too great. choose Anomaly bangboos for Anomaly/Standard Teams and Faction Bangboo for a Faction team. 10. Standard S ranks are okay but Limited S ranks are just the goat. prioritize building your limited S rank first then build your other S ranks then finally A ranks. 11. Grind every achievement if you want to get more Polychromes for free. 12. Do not use any polychromes to pull for standard banners, as you'll get them for free later on. Save your 300 pull until you've pulled your 2nd to the last missing S rank character so you can pull the missing agent next. (Example: I'm missing Rina and Lycaon so once I get either of them, I can immediately get the missing one to complete my collection). don't pull on an existing character as mindscapes are not worth to waste your free S rank bonus and this only happens once too. 13. Pull for the S-rank Limited Character not the A-rank as you can always pull them on standard banner or other limited banners later on. promise, you'll cry if you accidentally wasted your pity or guaranteed to a limited agent you won't be using. 14. Do not buy anything from 141 convenience store unless you're 1 short because it's expensive. if you have too many dennies, save them as you'll easily lose 2m just by leveling a new agent. 15. Tuning Calibrators and Hamster Cage passes are the most important items in zzz. Use Cage passes only for limited S ranks and Tuning Calibrators for your Main 2 teams(Limited S rank first then S rank then A ranks).
These tips apply to basically any gacha game. Its all about resource management and understanding what you already have. My general rule is to be conservative with your resources until you find yourself stuck from difficulty.
The 8th tip is straight BS. Pull for whoever you want. Its a single player game so its pointless to get the strongest meta team and bs like that. Just pull whoever you want if you play for fun
The tip is advice for having the ability to clear content without whaling. I will agree it could be worded better. I would say "don't pull on impulse." If you like how a character plays meta or not you will have more fun. That being said you will likely struggle more in end game the farther from meta you get which can be frustrating. It is advice not judging you because you want to play something inefficient. Side Note: Using Ganyu, the OG poster child of Genshin power creep, as an example of pull regret because "weak character' is WILD.
I mean they say that multi-player is in the works. But ultimately I agree. Even in multi-player games it's important to use playstyles and characters you enjoy
@@Talarue That's no perfectly fine for me. Clearing endgame stuff is not my top priority. I just want a good enough team that can clear the story stuff with characters I like. Plus im sure it'll be a nice challenge to clear all that stuff anyway when I do decide to have a go at it.
While it's not THAT important, it's far from pointless. Having meta or good builds will obviously make the game much smoother progression wise and even enjoyment wise for most people. Also make the grind more efficient. Since being hard stuck or stagnant progression due to having a "weak account" would be more frustrating than not having exactly your fav chars (Since you're likely to at least enjoy some of the meta chars anyway) You might as well pick your favourite meta char, rather than picking from the whole list. At least for your first garneted pull Because you're bound to enjoy some of the meta characters and it'll make progressing far less tedious. Then you can get a 100% for fun character (even if bad) after that, and have some brainless flashy fun. But I agree it's not a requirement to play the game, but you will be punished harder and possibly have a worse time getting to later content and clearing "stat check content" Most people enjoy progression and big numbers in these games, watching boss hp melt, the animations and characters obviously play a part, but when all are fairly well done the style is a smaller factor than long term progression, because no matter how flashy and fun the animations, eventually you'll be used to them and they'll lose some of their flashy flair. LATE LATE game any character will perform adequately, so then you can pick and play who you want, but progressing it's a good idea to pick your fav meta character rather than fav from the WHOLE list. You can always get a for fun character after having a decent team, you also get random ones from standard banner, so you might get a meta or for fun one there.
@@gazzmania150 yeah Im not reading all that. Just play whoever you want. Doesnt matter if you complete a stage 5s faster just because you have meta champs. I use only and only Jane with Seth and Lucy and I destroy every single stage.
Thank you so much for the tips, tricks and info, I’m currently at a Inter-knocks lv 39 and I’m glad I got to know all of these things before going to level 40-50. Thank you very much it was helpful
I know I'm late but another tip I can give to new players is to READ what your agent do. So you can prioritize where to upgrade. For example, Nicole's biggest benefit is here core passive's DEF shred. Just focus mainly on upgrading that. Another example is Lucy's ATK buff that goes higher if you MAX her EX-Special only although you need to invest in %ATK disc drives for better buff. In other words spend your resources where it matters. Usually support agents dont require much investment to be fully effective, save most of your resources for your main DPS agent.
To add to Tip #3, only ever use batteries on guaranteed materials (e.g. chips/components/seals; dennies and exp materials are iffy but it's up to you). Think of batteries as a way of rushing a new character or engine to a usable level. Using batteries for uncertain resources (i.e. disk drives) will only lead to waste. I wish I realized this when I dumped all my fragiles in Genshin so long ago, haha.
Yup, after making a ton of mistakes in Star Rail playing for fun and only pulling characters I liked , I learned the importance of pulling characters that build strong teams to clear all of the end game content.
I guess that's fair if you care about the so-called endgame. Idk what is it in ZZZ - probably Shiyu - but if the fun part for you is going through the story with characters you like, then why stop pulling whoever you like?
A fun fact is that in ZZZ you can do end-game stuff with the team of your preference even when not maxed out while in Star Rail you can't at all because of the terrible powercreeping it suffers.
Using batteries early is a good thing; you level up faster so your natural stamina regen is able to be used on better rewards sooner. It's better to alter what you spend that stamina on, as some resource nodes get better drops on x0 levels, and some on x5 levels
I think using batteries before having possibility to drop S tier discs drives is waste. At least wait for lvl 35 minimum. But in the end it does not matter that much.
@@shrimp1948 i personally use batteries to fast farm mats for upgrading my units and weapons cause at least those are guaranteed upgrades. I feel using up batteries for farming disk drives are a waste, since one battery is equivalent to 1 run for disk drives.
Man, I’m 41 and I’m sparing these batteries like my life depends on it 😂 My main team is lvl 50 and “perfectly” (to the best of my knowledge) builded too
Optional tip: Please for the love of god build/pull at least one additional stunner, the game becomes so much easier with a properly built one. Koldea and Lycacon are super valuable especially.
Yo man, thank you so much for this guide. I'm someone who wants to play the game for the story and at a slower pace an. Ind to see so many videos about optimizing discs, who I should use, and all that jargon that I tend to have trouble understanding so when you said such as not to worry about discs and just focus on the core passives, it made me feel better. I definitely will try out more agents and keep playing an enjoyable yet mindful pace
its a good thing the characters i wanna pull in the future are both cool looking/have a fun playstyle and will benefit me in the future with the long term plan I have so im immune to tip 8
All pretty sound advice. I bounce between zzz and genshin, and I know the importance of money and resource management and watching others give their opinions as to how to build their characters, so this video is great for people new to the game
To help with not worrying about getting disc drives early game, i think its fine if you want your characters to have decent dmg, so commit to just getting the pc bonuses, just having the discs will be enough for good damage
I already have 2 stacked teams as a F2P player: (Ellen/LycaonC1/SoukakuC6, Soldier 11+BrimstoneX2/Koleda/LucyC2) so imma just pull for Jane and Seth because I already have Grace. (50 pulls till 100% Jane pity pull with 50 Limited tapes saved) 3 optimised teams as a F2P sounds absurd this early.
You can pull character that you want, but you must know what team you will be make. I have some mistake too in there I have wrong character to build, and I struggle during combat.
I’m at level 54 now and watched this out of curiosity. I want to say this is a great video and the advice is on point! I didn’t make the mistake of trying to farm disc drives too early. Doing it before you can guarantee S rank drives will hurt you. I learned that the hard way but luckily didn’t do it for every character. I saved myself eventually haha. Also great advice on starting focus on your attacker and building around them, it’s hard sometimes to pick another favorite first. For me Soldier 11 and Zhu Yuan were my starters. I lucked out on disc for Zhu but Soldier has been a big grind but it’s coming together!
I get where tip 8 is coming from,as someone whose played Punishing Gray Raven, where a team comp is very much needed. Still tho, you may or may not need to follow it, just pick whether what you want without regretting you pulled for them...
Yeah I remember reading an article that just said to ignore getting disc drives until you could consistently get S discs, did that and life was a lot easier. Just got me some random B discs based on the recommendations and left it. I never plan to optimize the sub stats though, I don’t want to make the game feel like a job. Just getting a good main stat
i've pulled all but 1 character & i'm currently trying to max level all my pulled characters & max level their w-engines. While also getting their recommended disk drives to a point that makes the character work.
Theres definitely a balance of pulling characters that synergize well, and pulling characters that I like. I try to have my main units be ones I like then I pull supports with good synergy for them that’ll make them op.
Thx for the tip with weekly bosses did not know they where weekly 😅. The tip with not pulling for what ever is a great advice until you finished building 2 main teams. When you have solid teams able to clear content then you can pull for what ever you like.
me who just leveled up to 50 a minute ago... I agree your tips with pulling for characters. The reason I couldn't progress with shiyu defense despite being level 50 is because I pulled with the character I like and build team solely focus on her. Zhu yuan, Qingyi, Nicole. That's the best team I currently have cause I'm waiting to get soldier 11. Well now that Burnice is about to be released I guess I can finally move build another team focused on her. I get that pulling for the character you have is the best, well that's what I did on my Genshin account but this game is different. If you want that character then it's probably the best decision to pull characters that will make her strong. This game doesn't have exploration like genshin so when you blindly pull for waifu only then you'll find it hard to progress throughout the story. Mind you, as I said earlier, there's no exploration similar to genshin in this game so it will be hard to save for pulls if you are f2p. That's just my take on this game tho.
I'm a f2p player so I save all my polychromes for building my Zhu Yuan team and Burnice Team and then Yanagi shows up but I'm skipping her because my team are already solid. the things you said in the video was the things I did like saving the Batts and do all weekly stuff until I reach inter knot level 50 I grind for exp materials and dennies because its too expensive to level up the a single character to max I use all my Batts to level up 6 characters: (Zhu Yuan, Nicole, Anby) and (Burnice, Piper, Lucy). I am still saving to level up situational characters like Grace, Lycaon, Koleda, Shokaku. So it will take millions of Dennies😅
Level 56 here some great advice I have if u do pull for a character look up the materials it’s going to take to upgrade them as soon as possible, when Burnice released I had enough material farmed to complete level everything (max level, core passive, w-engine, disk and chips) up for her as soon as I pulled her
Yeah at first when i see that the Ethereal is in middle of Transforming Animation i wonder if i can still attack it mid Transforming turns out i can farm a bit
i watched this expecting a bad video to be honest. i came out.. well i didnt learn anything since im level 48 and only play the game casually, its a well put together video. great work!
Great tips. I started playing during Burnice release and all of those mistakes flew by me, because i reached lvl 40 inter-knot in a week of gameplay. Saddest thing is the lack of dps characters to get, i have only Soldier 11 and there is a dire need for another for secondary team. There is still 300 pull guaranteed S rank ahead, maybe neko will fill that niche. Also playing demos on those guaranteed soldiers is good idea, just to get the gist of how they work and if you like their gameplay loop
Very cool video mann thankss! But for tips 8 i have some note.. My current team is S11 Ben Lucy, Billy Anby Nicole, because i literally didnt pull for anyone like Ellen, Zhu Yuan, Qinyi, and ofc Jane too, because im aiming for Miyabi, she gonna be my main goal and perhaps to be my future main team, i wont do "which team that fits Miyabi" but "which agent yall worthy for my Miyabi?" Because i will totally give my whole resources for her and i definitely will enjoy the game very much after i got her "Miyabi prbbly anomaly" "Miyabi prbbly A tier" Nahh its not about Damage per screenshot or will she bring me to the top after i got her, whats only matter i can have fun using her more often than any other agent But of course everyone has their perspective and im probably not type of competitive person, because we eventually will complete every content soon or later, no?
@@adikun409 Yes! you can easier clear the content in the game with ALL of the characters given. Tip #8 is for those like me who enjoy pulling characters for value more than pulling for fun. However you go about doing it, you will still clear everything the game has to offer. Thanks for watching! 😁
Rumor that Miyabi upgrade to S agent Beta zzz she was A agent Like you, I didn't spend pull for Ellen, ZY, QY or Jane. Personaly, I hesitate between Son of Catylons with Caesar and Burnice Faction Or Section 6 with Mayabi, Yanagi ( tall woman with pink hair) and Harumasa. Every characters are better with their faction (and Bangboo adapt), so it's not a good value to pull for only miyabi or else...
@@fybleez my man 🤝 No worries i also consider to pull other character from her faction too, if its helps her on her team, told you miyabi is my priority, but if there's other character could help her, definitely will consider pull for them Knowing she's an Ice character i quite considering will i make lycaon/shukaku team or her faction team
@@adikun409 Miyabi is the storm that is approching 🌩️🗡️ Priority to have Miyabi first ! I dont know, if you aware but if she might be the last of faction to be release like Jane doe from NESP. So if you want complet characters section 6 too Keep at least 180 pulls to guaranteed Mayabi, good luck and have fun 👍
@@fybleez i honestly pretty confused rn too wwwww As you can see we are still in 1.1 and the good news is we still got alot of time to grind for polychrome, but i wonder should i go with her M3 + sign wwww
Good video since I barley just got to interKnot level 50 and I didn't know Niclole had defense reduction in her kit, pretty helpful since I have her mindscaped maxed
Started playing after the Burnice promotion video blew up everywhere. Looked up some teams for her sense she was what made me finally decide to pick up ZZZ (Come on, psychotic, thicc, pyromaniac, with amazing bartending and dance skills? Who wouldn't.) Already decided on the Burnice, Soldier 11, and Lucy team. Already got Lucy set up early as I got lucky on my pulls for Burnice. Now I just need 11 for my dps.
Might be true for saving battery for early on. But just say that you will need it until you go to latest peak. Eg. You can still beat at ch 4 while the skill lvl at 4-5. Just start after the end game. For the drive, dont do at the hia first. Do at the music lady first. Where you can pull. For tips 8 is the same as everyone.
Man, why you gotta diss on Ganyu like that. She hasn’t left my team since I pulled her because she basically clear enemies really quickly (excluding cryo enemies of course)
Ganyu is without a doubt a really good character. but i find her boring. I only pulled her because she looked cool, but i regretted wasting my wishes on her because she collects dust on my account.
Tbh I think all of these are great besides 7, yes you should invest in a strong DPS early game but late game you need to invest in strong supports because eventually you will have dps to target any weakness and be constantly using different ones while strong supports will work in most teams. also everyone hating on #8 completely misunderstood they are saying you SHOULD pull who you want but you HAVE to be willing to pull characters that are strong with your favorite rather than random characters and ending up with 5-6 dps (I did that in hsr and it made my life hell till I got some op sups like sparkle and robin)
i'm on the fence with tip #8. in my opinion one of the only valid reasons on just pulling for agents that would benefit your acc is because of how limited the agent roster really is atm. but either way i still feel like majority of the game's content is still very playable with literally whatever agent (i've mained billy all the way up to lvl 38 when i got jane doe and my sister is a proud nicole main since release) so just play whoever you want 🤷♀️
Ive never played a gacha game before this one. This was helpful info. Funny enough i'm at level 40 and i don't even know what a battery is. I have zero understanding of the music store and avoid it cause Wise acts weird with the robot shopkeeper. I don't know the importance of who is in what slot, and i do just play who i find most fun. Which at the moment is Seth and Piper. I use Soldier 11 as a dps but she's boring and i don't really have any other options. I'm aiming for Ceasar when she get's released but i worry she wont be the one on the field much being a defense class.
Lvl 53 player here, IMO it's good to not farm disk before lvl 35, however there might be an exception if by that point you somehow managed to get your main team skills to the highest available level, you might think that prefarming for another team or for the skills so you can immediately level them up upon reaching the next threshold is the right choice, but... not really, your energy efficiency will be better once you level up, so the focus is on what makes your team stronger at the moment, keeping in mind that in general you should follow this route skill >> w-engine >> disks, unless you know for sure the w-engine is one of the best ones, then it'd be skills = w-engine >> disks. I noticed drastic improvements once I stopped prefarming at level 32 or so because by then I already maxed my DPS and the rest of the team didn't need much, I was able to clear content much faster. Also remember, it's important to focus on one team at a time, don't level everyone up past lvl 10, lvl 10 is cheap and you get a regular pull so that one is good, but anything past that is stretching you too thin. To be more precise, if you're in a situation where you have to think you have to prefarm because you think getting disks is a waste, that's not necessarily the case, you can do disk runs, just don't optimize too much, just make sure you get the basic 4pc set, one or two ok main stats in your 4,5,6 pieces and level your DPS's disks enough to clear some content. I was struggling a lot in lvl 30 to 35 because I was avoiding doing disks after my experience in genshin and hsr, this game is not like that, I wasn't able to clear missions with timers because my damage was not enough, and at some point I couldn't progress in Hollow Zero eventho I know I could have unlocked two levels more at my current proxy level... Once I stopped prefarming, I leveled much faster and I didn't lose energy because prefarming is doing things at loss anyway.
I'm Lvl 52, and I'm to the point I got 10 other standard summons to get.... buuuttt it's all advancing everyone past 50 ( Except Neko because I got her on Pity Standard )
@@Ephouriae Cool, I think I invested a bit too much in disks for Ellen, Nekomata(I regret this one a bit) and Jane and my dennies went to the drain, but besides that it's pretty much that.
1.) who’s Keqing 2.) she wouldn’t need a banner of her own since she’s a standard S rank character you get from the standard banner. The one where, after 300 pulls, you get to choose any standard S ranked character you want. Honestly S11 could be a long term goal if you didn’t get her from the first two pulls of standard.
@@NegativeZenn Keqing's a standard character from Genshin that had her own limited time banner, and it's infamous for being one of the lowest selling banners in Genshin's history
I discovered something recently with weekly boss but too late you can by patch only level the skill F for only 2 characters… If they keep the same rythm that star rail we can’t get every 4 star and 5 star level the skill F
I'm 5k exp away for reaching 50. I don't have battery and resources anymore trying to maximize Jane Doe 420AP and high attack. Waste a lot of days and batteries grinding discs and levelling them up for the AP and now i don't even have resources to build for other team. Messed up big time but yet I still enjoy playing it (probably)
Fun fact, when Qingyi banner came out I was away on vacation, and since my phone does not support the game, I only have it installed on my computer at home, when I came back home from vacation Qingyi banner was about to expire, only 1 Day left and S Rank character guaranteed drop was in 50 pulls or something like that, what happened, I made a pull x10 saw the anmation which tells you got an S Rank character, when I get there, it was not Qingyi, it was Koleda, I do it again, and again it's not Qingyi but Soldier 11! 😅 I was mad beyond reason, I really need another Stun character that works, because the only one which I own and works is Anby, Koleda and Lycaon do not work (meaning that there's no way to start a chain attack with them) but at least Lycaon has a saving feature, he's stun DMG multiplier is way greater than Anby's one (Anby between 150-200% Lycaon between 200-272%).
Interknot 48,nearly 49 Started playing before "global release" July 3rd BTW Put most of my pulls in standard to get soldier 11 Best weapon I can pick up for her is starlight engine
@@gamer_jss it depends on what you think your account needs. if you’re a more causal player, i think that going for Caesar King will be the best bet for you. however if you like using different strategies and team comps, widening your character roster based on what you need is a good investment as well.
I would say only have the mindset to pull for the character u want only if your current team is good enough to complete all endgame contents. If not, try pulling for a solid dps then you can chill with the gacha ❤
I have a question and a request. Question: do you think playing on controller is better than keyboard and mouse? Should I try it? Request: can you make a video explaining good team composition please? I just started recently and I’m not really sure how to build a solid team.
I find playing on controller more comfortable because im able to adjust how i’m sitting while playing. I feel like keyboard and mouse forces me to sit up. Also i can for sure work on a team composition video! Thanks for your input!
nice video, i am in lv. 34 now but i don't really know what i want to upgrade. Well like this video pick a right team and upgrade the skill first, disc for later
I’m currently Interknot level 28 after playing for a week, why do we need to reach a certain Interknot level just to progress the campaign? I’ve only lost a battle once, while way underleveled against Doppelganger Jane Doe, but for some reason I still can’t continue against campaign, but it will happily make me do level 30 quests while only level 30 with two agents 😭 I cleared Newborn/Regular Dead End Butcher no problem, but aren’t allowed to fight the fodder campaign?
I have almost all my A ranks and their weapons maxed and the only character/w engines I’m missing are Rina / lycoans Koledas Ellen and Zhu Yuans W engines .. I’m pd off I missed those two special banner engines but Brimstone on Zhu works probably better imo (4200 base attack at 60) and steel cushion works just as good for Ellen but man if you can pull for Jane and her weapon you should.. I just did 2.1 mil damage without even trying on a single assault against a hollow zero core boss the other day and my Jane isn’t even maxed (she’s 50) having 430 proficiency on her and I know I could get that higher with better disc pulls is just insane
Also don’t ever count out Ben.. he is a ridiculously good agent when built right with 4 soul discs and 2 of the energy recharge ones with as much defense as you can get (my lvl 60 Ben has 2500 defense and with his W engine maxed does like 100k+ damage every 8 -12 seconds with those counters) not to mention if you are in hollow zero and have a bunch of shield resonia.. he’s not gonna be taking ANY damage lol
I can’t wait for Caesar cuz I kind of just want to throw together Her Ben and Seth on a team and see how that does in terms of longevity in hollow zero 😅
i'd sort of agree and disagree with tip 8 i'd say pull a character you like/waifu *but* then you need to build a team around them. cause even if you got your waifus if they don't make a good team it will suck struggling when you have to play the game pick 2 characters you really really like then find out what will make them work so you can enjoy using your faves while clearing content
Regarding #3 - that's generally good gacha advice: level gear LATER. Level character, weapon, and talents FIRST. - Artefacts in Genshin, Disc Drives in ZZZ, Relics in HSR... it's all the same crap... randomized stats. Just pick the A Rank/4* S Rank/ 5* stuff you have as stat sticks until late game/end game. Never level B rank/3* artefacts, it's not worth the time. You shouldn't be blowing stamina/resin/charge/trailblaze on that until end-game. - Instead build character level, weapon (light cone/w engine) levels and talents. Those matter more and aren't random; they're permanent / indelible stat boosts. No character gets worse by having more levels, higher stats and better weapons... but you can get worse with the wrong artefacts/etc. or waste your time playing the RNG game of "is this new artefact better than what I have while RNGesus slaps you every time you try. It's not worth your time/energy. - In HSR and ZZZ, only 3 months into each - I don't bother at all because I'm clearing content fine: I focused on character level, talent/trace level and w engine/lightcone level. - In Genshin... 2.8 years in... I still don't bother min-maxing artefacts because it's kind of a waste of time - I just focus on maybe getting the right set, or maybe the general stats on the wrong set (like my Nilou who is on all HP artefacts... all wanderer's troupe ... or my kuki who has flower of paradise lost, but couldn't tell you how many pieces are EM pieces). - Gacha games can be a lot of fun, but they're huge time sinks if you don't know what you're doing. There are efficient ways to play the game/level up and inefficient ways. The game does not warn you when you're wasting your time. :P
Never underestimate a C6 A-rank agent u were given to while pulling for the agent u wanted.. my c6 Billy and Soukaku is a total monster now. Even pushing out more attack points than my c1 Ellen. 😢
tip 8 I learned from my genshin incident in clorinde and furina banners, i love them both so much and i was rate on at that time and i actually trying not to get clorinde but she just to damn pretty so i got her and than at furina banner i lose rate off and sad i can't keep up and have to let go furina but than what amazing miracle about to happened kazuha rerun and now i have him : ) btw (i actually can get kazuha in neuvillette and his banner but i choose eula instead him so yeah i f twice in my life because of girls i hope in RL im not like this LOL)
Ngl most if not all the tips that are applicable to genshin are applicable to this game too lol so ngl i think i had a flawless run so far(except when i sacrificed like 20 ether batteries for yanagi). This is coming from a lvl 47 player
i would only use tip 8 if u are doubting on who to pull. for example i was thinking on pulling jane doe but not 100% sure so i waited to what 5 stars i got. and i got koleda and lycaon really lucky imo. so i decided i will wait for miyabi, see if she stays as ice attack or changes and go for it if it goes well. i will not have any rush for strong dps as honkai really fucked me up with what main dpss i chose
She will be ice anomaly accompanied by murasama lightning attacker and yanagi lightning stunner (this is ingame info, yanagi deals stunner damage and harumasa is an attacker, which makes miyabi an anomaly)
I need some advice please... I have zhuyuan qingyi nicole I got c1 rina and thats it for standard 5star Got lycoon lc and koleda lc I have c6 corin What should I do? Pull jane doe or save? I like caeser too😢
If you play Corin: you should NOT pull Jane Doe and go for Caesar King for sure. If her beta changes make it to live, you’ll be clearing all the content easily with Caesar and Corin. it’s a nice bonus that they are both Physical Agents as well. If you don’t play Corin: i would suggest picking up Jane Doe, especially if you don’t have/play Piper as well. it will definitely be much harder to get her (as well as her W-Engine if you like going for those as well) since you picked up Zhu Yuan and then Qingyi right after. still tho, she is a great pickup if you don’t like the other physical Agents we currently have. I’m not sure what C6 Corin does, but i’m sure she is just as strong as other S-Rank Agents at C0. It ultimately comes down to if you like Corin or not, and do you play her. That will tell you if you should pull or skip Jane Doe. Good Luck with your pulls!
Im on level 40 now and the only task is to level up inter-knot more. Does anyone know when the actual main story continues? What level do I have to get to?
I want to pull for current better DPS to carry my team. Having all DPS can be clutch to ending certain stage under certain amount of time. For the time being I need Yanagi but if Lighter is a better DPS I'll prolly save up and wait abit.
I was having a haaaaard time at Interknot lvl 40. 😭😭 Then I started reading. And actually attempting to understand the shit I'm reading. Not just " BLAH, BLAH GIMME MY COOL CHARACTER " It's funny how you begin to melt enemies when you take the time to comprehend. My Piper, Luci, and Anby out perform. P.S Butler Bangboo is CLUTCH.

Having just hit level 50 myself this video reads like a laundry list of my own regrets XD
agree with everything but tip 8, I play this game for fun not to complete the game. I don't think that pulling for a character with bigger numbers will make the game more enjoyable if I don't like it.
That’s perfectly fine too! Not everyone is playing to min max the game, which is completely fine. This is more for players who enjoy playing for value more.
Thanks for watching by the way! I’ve seen you comment since the early days of my videos!

Tbh I'd say pull for the characters you want but be prepared to get ones you don't want in order to make it work.
👋 reluctant Jiaoqiu puller here 😂 👋
Me with miyabi ice anomaly + Seth + yanagi stunner be like: (I don't like yanagi 😭)
Here's the fun part: I like them all. Losing is a bit sad, but i definitely don't mind it
Tbf I'd edit my old comment but why would I break the fun of it, I love yanagi alot and she an anomaly
i spent like 8k polychromes i saved and didnt get burnice, glad i maxed out lucy tho
As an Interknot lvl 56 here's my tips especially for beginners.
1. Don't touch your energy batteries to grind for lvl and disc drives until you finished the main story / sidemissions. you'll guaranteed to be lvl 45 without using it. you only use batteries for special purposes like grinding your freshly pulled S-rank's lvl, disc drives, W-Engine, skills and so on. you can save at least maybe around 30 and the extra ones can be used from time to time but don't use it to lvl yourself cause you're wasting it and you'll never get much in the later levels unless you pay for battlepasses or shop.
2. Plan your build ahead as mistakes will not only waste your energy but you also waste your precious DENNIES as high level agents are very expensive to build.
3. always maximize your hollow zero guide. the max weekly grind for z-merits is 900 which is equivalent to 6 runs for exploration(you can quit after the 2nd checkpoint) or 6 full-run for blitz and z-merits will save you alot for grinding Dennies and other materials while saving your energies later on.
4. Grind your Travelling mimo, Web events, and Twitch drops. If you're F2p or want to farm Polychromes for free, you definitely need to farm these especially if you want to pull more waifus without breaking your wallet.
5. Join Groups which can help you get redeemable codes. don't neglect them as getting codes can you ALOT of Polychromes as much as 800 Polychromes for free.
6. For whales or semi-whales, this is my recommendations to where you should spend your money first. Interknot membership > Battlepass(not the premium unless you're not grinding your battlepass) > Interknot packages(the one you see on the Shop with the lvl) > Polychromes
7. Level your skill points depending on the highest DPS & use priority. for example, for nicole, you need to prioritize in maxing her Chain attack/EX with at least decent Assist lvl i suggest at least 9/12. for basic and dodge, you can lvl them up later once you've fully built your team.
8. Synergize is optional but highly recommended if you want to S rank your Shiyu Defense. Time is crucial and if you want to S rank the Shiyu Defense, prioritize building your main 2 teams with the DPS/Anomaly agents at lvl 60. There are 3 teams which are you can build. Ice or Ether, Fire or Physical, then Shock. for example, if I have an ether team, i can skip building an Ice team momentarily or mix them both on a team. as for the 2nd, it's always either Fire or Physical while a Shock Team can be formed if the enemy weakness is Shock.
9. S rank bangboos > rank 5 A rank bangboos as the stat differences are just too great. choose Anomaly bangboos for Anomaly/Standard Teams and Faction Bangboo for a Faction team.
10. Standard S ranks are okay but Limited S ranks are just the goat. prioritize building your limited S rank first then build your other S ranks then finally A ranks.
11. Grind every achievement if you want to get more Polychromes for free.
12. Do not use any polychromes to pull for standard banners, as you'll get them for free later on. Save your 300 pull until you've pulled your 2nd to the last missing S rank character so you can pull the missing agent next. (Example: I'm missing Rina and Lycaon so once I get either of them, I can immediately get the missing one to complete my collection). don't pull on an existing character as mindscapes are not worth to waste your free S rank bonus and this only happens once too.
13. Pull for the S-rank Limited Character not the A-rank as you can always pull them on standard banner or other limited banners later on. promise, you'll cry if you accidentally wasted your pity or guaranteed to a limited agent you won't be using.
14. Do not buy anything from 141 convenience store unless you're 1 short because it's expensive. if you have too many dennies, save them as you'll easily lose 2m just by leveling a new agent.
15. Tuning Calibrators and Hamster Cage passes are the most important items in zzz. Use Cage passes only for limited S ranks and Tuning Calibrators for your Main 2 teams(Limited S rank first then S rank then A ranks).
These tips apply to basically any gacha game. Its all about resource management and understanding what you already have. My general rule is to be conservative with your resources until you find yourself stuck from difficulty.
The 8th tip is straight BS. Pull for whoever you want. Its a single player game so its pointless to get the strongest meta team and bs like that. Just pull whoever you want if you play for fun
The tip is advice for having the ability to clear content without whaling. I will agree it could be worded better. I would say "don't pull on impulse." If you like how a character plays meta or not you will have more fun. That being said you will likely struggle more in end game the farther from meta you get which can be frustrating. It is advice not judging you because you want to play something inefficient.
Side Note: Using Ganyu, the OG poster child of Genshin power creep, as an example of pull regret because "weak character' is WILD.
I mean they say that multi-player is in the works. But ultimately I agree. Even in multi-player games it's important to use playstyles and characters you enjoy
@@Talarue That's no perfectly fine for me. Clearing endgame stuff is not my top priority. I just want a good enough team that can clear the story stuff with characters I like. Plus im sure it'll be a nice challenge to clear all that stuff anyway when I do decide to have a go at it.
While it's not THAT important, it's far from pointless.
Having meta or good builds will obviously make the game much smoother progression wise and even enjoyment wise for most people. Also make the grind more efficient.
Since being hard stuck or stagnant progression due to having a "weak account" would be more frustrating than not having exactly your fav chars (Since you're likely to at least enjoy some of the meta chars anyway)
You might as well pick your favourite meta char, rather than picking from the whole list. At least for your first garneted pull
Because you're bound to enjoy some of the meta characters and it'll make progressing far less tedious.
Then you can get a 100% for fun character (even if bad) after that, and have some brainless flashy fun.
But I agree it's not a requirement to play the game, but you will be punished harder and possibly have a worse time getting to later content and clearing "stat check content"
Most people enjoy progression and big numbers in these games, watching boss hp melt, the animations and characters obviously play a part, but when all are fairly well done the style is a smaller factor than long term progression, because no matter how flashy and fun the animations, eventually you'll be used to them and they'll lose some of their flashy flair.
LATE LATE game any character will perform adequately, so then you can pick and play who you want, but progressing it's a good idea to pick your fav meta character rather than fav from the WHOLE list.
You can always get a for fun character after having a decent team, you also get random ones from standard banner, so you might get a meta or for fun one there.
@@gazzmania150 yeah Im not reading all that. Just play whoever you want. Doesnt matter if you complete a stage 5s faster just because you have meta champs. I use only and only Jane with Seth and Lucy and I destroy every single stage.
Thank you so much for the tips, tricks and info, I’m currently at a Inter-knocks lv 39 and I’m glad I got to know all of these things before going to level 40-50. Thank you very much it was helpful
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I love Jane Doe and I love Harumasa and Lycaon. Do they work well together? Hell no. Do I care? Not in the slightest.
I know I'm late but another tip I can give to new players is to READ what your agent do. So you can prioritize where to upgrade. For example, Nicole's biggest benefit is here core passive's DEF shred. Just focus mainly on upgrading that. Another example is Lucy's ATK buff that goes higher if you MAX her EX-Special only although you need to invest in %ATK disc drives for better buff. In other words spend your resources where it matters. Usually support agents dont require much investment to be fully effective, save most of your resources for your main DPS agent.
OP: remember to focus investing resources into your dps character.
Me: who doesn't even have a single S rank dps character yet.
To add to Tip #3, only ever use batteries on guaranteed materials (e.g. chips/components/seals; dennies and exp materials are iffy but it's up to you). Think of batteries as a way of rushing a new character or engine to a usable level.
Using batteries for uncertain resources (i.e. disk drives) will only lead to waste. I wish I realized this when I dumped all my fragiles in Genshin so long ago, haha.
Yup, after making a ton of mistakes in Star Rail playing for fun and only pulling characters I liked , I learned the importance of pulling characters that build strong teams to clear all of the end game content.
I guess that's fair if you care about the so-called endgame. Idk what is it in ZZZ - probably Shiyu - but if the fun part for you is going through the story with characters you like, then why stop pulling whoever you like?
@@artfulperchonce you get two teams, you can just pull for whoever you like
@@artfulperchi mean, you can get whoever you want after pulling only 2 meta char or even 1
i thought this was sarcastic HUH guess not
A fun fact is that in ZZZ you can do end-game stuff with the team of your preference even when not maxed out while in Star Rail you can't at all because of the terrible powercreeping it suffers.
Using batteries early is a good thing; you level up faster so your natural stamina regen is able to be used on better rewards sooner.
It's better to alter what you spend that stamina on, as some resource nodes get better drops on x0 levels, and some on x5 levels
I think using batteries before having possibility to drop S tier discs drives is waste. At least wait for lvl 35 minimum. But in the end it does not matter that much.
@@shrimp1948 i personally use batteries to fast farm mats for upgrading my units and weapons cause at least those are guaranteed upgrades.
I feel using up batteries for farming disk drives are a waste, since one battery is equivalent to 1 run for disk drives.
Man, I’m 41 and I’m sparing these batteries like my life depends on it 😂
My main team is lvl 50 and “perfectly” (to the best of my knowledge) builded too
Optional tip: Please for the love of god build/pull at least one additional stunner, the game becomes so much easier with a properly built one. Koldea and Lycacon are super valuable especially.
Yo man, thank you so much for this guide. I'm someone who wants to play the game for the story and at a slower pace an. Ind to see so many videos about optimizing discs, who I should use, and all that jargon that I tend to have trouble understanding so when you said such as not to worry about discs and just focus on the core passives, it made me feel better. I definitely will try out more agents and keep playing an enjoyable yet mindful pace
@@ultra6029 I’m glad i could help you out! Thank you for your nice comment, it drives me to help you guys even more.
its a good thing the characters i wanna pull in the future are both cool looking/have a fun playstyle and will benefit me in the future with the long term plan I have so im immune to tip 8
All pretty sound advice. I bounce between zzz and genshin, and I know the importance of money and resource management and watching others give their opinions as to how to build their characters, so this video is great for people new to the game
I feel a lil OP knowing that I already somewhat picked up these tips overtime without having watched this vid
To help with not worrying about getting disc drives early game, i think its fine if you want your characters to have decent dmg, so commit to just getting the pc bonuses, just having the discs will be enough for good damage
I already have 2 stacked teams as a F2P player:
(Ellen/LycaonC1/SoukakuC6, Soldier 11+BrimstoneX2/Koleda/LucyC2)
so imma just pull for Jane and Seth because I already have Grace. (50 pulls till 100% Jane pity pull with 50 Limited tapes saved)
3 optimised teams as a F2P sounds absurd this early.
You can pull character that you want, but you must know what team you will be make. I have some mistake too in there I have wrong character to build, and I struggle during combat.
idk man i just began playing, pulled jane doe on my second ever pull, and went on with my day
I’m at level 54 now and watched this out of curiosity. I want to say this is a great video and the advice is on point! I didn’t make the mistake of trying to farm disc drives too early. Doing it before you can guarantee S rank drives will hurt you. I learned that the hard way but luckily didn’t do it for every character. I saved myself eventually haha. Also great advice on starting focus on your attacker and building around them, it’s hard sometimes to pick another favorite first. For me Soldier 11 and Zhu Yuan were my starters. I lucked out on disc for Zhu but Soldier has been a big grind but it’s coming together!
Glad to hear you avoided some of my mistakes! Thanks for watching!
As for tip 1, I've got my groove with Ellen due to her fast paced combo...
I get where tip 8 is coming from,as someone whose played Punishing Gray Raven, where a team comp is very much needed. Still tho, you may or may not need to follow it, just pick whether what you want without regretting you pulled for them...
Yeah I remember reading an article that just said to ignore getting disc drives until you could consistently get S discs, did that and life was a lot easier. Just got me some random B discs based on the recommendations and left it. I never plan to optimize the sub stats though, I don’t want to make the game feel like a job. Just getting a good main stat
i've pulled all but 1 character & i'm currently trying to max level all my pulled characters & max level their w-engines. While also getting their recommended disk drives to a point that makes the character work.
me watching this being almost level 54: ah yes, very valuable information for me
Theres definitely a balance of pulling characters that synergize well, and pulling characters that I like. I try to have my main units be ones I like then I pull supports with good synergy for them that’ll make them op.
Thx for the tip with weekly bosses did not know they where weekly 😅. The tip with not pulling for what ever is a great advice until you finished building 2 main teams. When you have solid teams able to clear content then you can pull for what ever you like.
That last tip though XD 😅 reminds me how I started ZZZ with the mind set of getting Lycaon
me who just leveled up to 50 a minute ago...
I agree your tips with pulling for characters. The reason I couldn't progress with shiyu defense despite being level 50 is because I pulled with the character I like and build team solely focus on her. Zhu yuan, Qingyi, Nicole. That's the best team I currently have cause I'm waiting to get soldier 11. Well now that Burnice is about to be released I guess I can finally move build another team focused on her.
I get that pulling for the character you have is the best, well that's what I did on my Genshin account but this game is different. If you want that character then it's probably the best decision to pull characters that will make her strong. This game doesn't have exploration like genshin so when you blindly pull for waifu only then you'll find it hard to progress throughout the story. Mind you, as I said earlier, there's no exploration similar to genshin in this game so it will be hard to save for pulls if you are f2p.
That's just my take on this game tho.
Me in level 49 seeing the video today: 😰
time to re roll
I'm a f2p player so I save all my polychromes for building my Zhu Yuan team and Burnice Team and then Yanagi shows up but I'm skipping her because my team are already solid. the things you said in the video was the things I did like saving the Batts and do all weekly stuff until I reach inter knot level 50 I grind for exp materials and dennies because its too expensive to level up the a single character to max I use all my Batts to level up 6 characters: (Zhu Yuan, Nicole, Anby) and (Burnice, Piper, Lucy). I am still saving to level up situational characters like Grace, Lycaon, Koleda, Shokaku. So it will take millions of Dennies😅
Level 56 here some great advice I have if u do pull for a character look up the materials it’s going to take to upgrade them as soon as possible, when Burnice released I had enough material farmed to complete level everything (max level, core passive, w-engine, disk and chips) up for her as soon as I pulled her
A hidden tip I noticed at 7:14 🤣
So you stack energy from a transformimg ethereal.
ah, good eye! yes you can! i abuse it with every boss that has two phases LOL
Yeah at first when i see that the Ethereal is in middle of Transforming Animation i wonder if i can still attack it mid Transforming turns out i can farm a bit
i watched this expecting a bad video to be honest. i came out.. well i didnt learn anything since im level 48 and only play the game casually, its a well put together video. great work!
Thanks! i try my best to always deliver to you guys! 😃
Great tips. I started playing during Burnice release and all of those mistakes flew by me, because i reached lvl 40 inter-knot in a week of gameplay. Saddest thing is the lack of dps characters to get, i have only Soldier 11 and there is a dire need for another for secondary team. There is still 300 pull guaranteed S rank ahead, maybe neko will fill that niche. Also playing demos on those guaranteed soldiers is good idea, just to get the gist of how they work and if you like their gameplay loop
Just started this game three days ago and just reched lvl 26, grinding hard to get Jane (currently at 4000 movies) 💪🏼
Very cool video mann thankss!
But for tips 8 i have some note..
My current team is S11 Ben Lucy, Billy Anby Nicole, because i literally didnt pull for anyone like Ellen, Zhu Yuan, Qinyi, and ofc Jane too, because im aiming for Miyabi, she gonna be my main goal and perhaps to be my future main team, i wont do "which team that fits Miyabi" but "which agent yall worthy for my Miyabi?" Because i will totally give my whole resources for her and i definitely will enjoy the game very much after i got her
"Miyabi prbbly anomaly"
"Miyabi prbbly A tier"
Nahh its not about Damage per screenshot or will she bring me to the top after i got her, whats only matter i can have fun using her more often than any other agent
But of course everyone has their perspective and im probably not type of competitive person, because we eventually will complete every content soon or later, no?
@@adikun409 Yes! you can easier clear the content in the game with ALL of the characters given. Tip #8 is for those like me who enjoy pulling characters for value more than pulling for fun.
However you go about doing it, you will still clear everything the game has to offer. Thanks for watching! 😁
Rumor that Miyabi upgrade to S agent
Beta zzz she was A agent
Like you, I didn't spend pull for Ellen, ZY, QY or Jane.
Personaly, I hesitate between Son of Catylons with Caesar and Burnice Faction
Or Section 6 with Mayabi, Yanagi ( tall woman with pink hair) and Harumasa.
Every characters are better with their faction (and Bangboo adapt), so it's not a good value to pull for only miyabi or else...
@@fybleez my man 🤝
No worries i also consider to pull other character from her faction too, if its helps her on her team, told you miyabi is my priority, but if there's other character could help her, definitely will consider pull for them
Knowing she's an Ice character i quite considering will i make lycaon/shukaku team or her faction team
@@adikun409 Miyabi is the storm that is approching 🌩️🗡️
Priority to have Miyabi first !
I dont know, if you aware but if she might be the last of faction to be release like Jane doe from NESP. So if you want complet characters section 6 too
Keep at least 180 pulls to guaranteed Mayabi, good luck and have fun 👍
@@fybleez i honestly pretty confused rn too wwwww
As you can see we are still in 1.1 and the good news is we still got alot of time to grind for polychrome, but i wonder should i go with her M3 + sign wwww
What's the best use of polycrabs?
i typically only use Polychrome on limited Agents. If I have enough to spend however, i may try to get their W Engine as well
@@flossinonyou thanks i thought they were called polycrabs scene am new to this game.

@@flossinonyou thank you for what you do. Do you have a qingyi video
Good video since I barley just got to interKnot level 50 and I didn't know Niclole had defense reduction in her kit, pretty helpful since I have her mindscaped maxed
Started playing after the Burnice promotion video blew up everywhere. Looked up some teams for her sense she was what made me finally decide to pick up ZZZ (Come on, psychotic, thicc, pyromaniac, with amazing bartending and dance skills? Who wouldn't.)
Already decided on the Burnice, Soldier 11, and Lucy team. Already got Lucy set up early as I got lucky on my pulls for Burnice. Now I just need 11 for my dps.
Might be true for saving battery for early on. But just say that you will need it until you go to latest peak. Eg. You can still beat at ch 4 while the skill lvl at 4-5. Just start after the end game.
For the drive, dont do at the hia first. Do at the music lady first. Where you can pull.
For tips 8 is the same as everyone.
Man, why you gotta diss on Ganyu like that.
She hasn’t left my team since I pulled her because she basically clear enemies really quickly (excluding cryo enemies of course)
Ganyu is without a doubt a really good character. but i find her boring. I only pulled her because she looked cool, but i regretted wasting my wishes on her because she collects dust on my account.
Recently started playing the game, my only S-Rank is N11 and i really like it, i just play her with Lucy and Anby.
I just like having fun playing
Tbh I think all of these are great besides 7, yes you should invest in a strong DPS early game but late game you need to invest in strong supports because eventually you will have dps to target any weakness and be constantly using different ones while strong supports will work in most teams.
also everyone hating on #8 completely misunderstood they are saying you SHOULD pull who you want but you HAVE to be willing to pull characters that are strong with your favorite rather than random characters and ending up with 5-6 dps (I did that in hsr and it made my life hell till I got some op sups like sparkle and robin)
i'm on the fence with tip #8.
in my opinion one of the only valid reasons on just pulling for agents that would benefit your acc is because of how limited the agent roster really is atm.
but either way i still feel like majority of the game's content is still very playable with literally whatever agent (i've mained billy all the way up to lvl 38 when i got jane doe and my sister is a proud nicole main since release) so just play whoever you want 🤷♀️
Ive never played a gacha game before this one. This was helpful info.
Funny enough i'm at level 40 and i don't even know what a battery is. I have zero understanding of the music store and avoid it cause Wise acts weird with the robot shopkeeper.
I don't know the importance of who is in what slot, and i do just play who i find most fun. Which at the moment is Seth and Piper. I use Soldier 11 as a dps but she's boring and i don't really have any other options. I'm aiming for Ceasar when she get's released but i worry she wont be the one on the field much being a defense class.
Once I got soldier 11 and Jane doe, i stopped pulling for more characters.
I used every battery I owned pregrinding for Jane Doe. I don't regret it, lol.
Lvl 53 player here, IMO it's good to not farm disk before lvl 35, however there might be an exception if by that point you somehow managed to get your main team skills to the highest available level, you might think that prefarming for another team or for the skills so you can immediately level them up upon reaching the next threshold is the right choice, but... not really, your energy efficiency will be better once you level up, so the focus is on what makes your team stronger at the moment, keeping in mind that in general you should follow this route skill >> w-engine >> disks, unless you know for sure the w-engine is one of the best ones, then it'd be skills = w-engine >> disks. I noticed drastic improvements once I stopped prefarming at level 32 or so because by then I already maxed my DPS and the rest of the team didn't need much, I was able to clear content much faster. Also remember, it's important to focus on one team at a time, don't level everyone up past lvl 10, lvl 10 is cheap and you get a regular pull so that one is good, but anything past that is stretching you too thin.
To be more precise, if you're in a situation where you have to think you have to prefarm because you think getting disks is a waste, that's not necessarily the case, you can do disk runs, just don't optimize too much, just make sure you get the basic 4pc set, one or two ok main stats in your 4,5,6 pieces and level your DPS's disks enough to clear some content. I was struggling a lot in lvl 30 to 35 because I was avoiding doing disks after my experience in genshin and hsr, this game is not like that, I wasn't able to clear missions with timers because my damage was not enough, and at some point I couldn't progress in Hollow Zero eventho I know I could have unlocked two levels more at my current proxy level... Once I stopped prefarming, I leveled much faster and I didn't lose energy because prefarming is doing things at loss anyway.
I'm Lvl 52, and I'm to the point I got 10 other standard summons to get.... buuuttt it's all advancing everyone past 50 ( Except Neko because I got her on Pity Standard )
Already cleared everything in the game, got 2 teams built. Now it's just advancing everyone past 50 for those free summons.
@@Ephouriae Cool, I think I invested a bit too much in disks for Ellen, Nekomata(I regret this one a bit) and Jane and my dennies went to the drain, but besides that it's pretty much that.
In short you can farm level up and skill materials at LV 40 and Disc drives at LV 45 is the best ,because you will always get 2 golden disc
thank you, the weekly boss tip was super helpful coming from genshin.
If they ever release a Soldier 11 banner I will be all in. Not much hope of that though, since we know how the Keqing banner went...
1.) who’s Keqing
2.) she wouldn’t need a banner of her own since she’s a standard S rank character you get from the standard banner. The one where, after 300 pulls, you get to choose any standard S ranked character you want. Honestly S11 could be a long term goal if you didn’t get her from the first two pulls of standard.
If my beloved gets a personal banner, i will sell my house to get it.
@@NegativeZenn Keqing's a standard character from Genshin that had her own limited time banner, and it's infamous for being one of the lowest selling banners in Genshin's history
@@flossinonyou how bout we sell everything to get hoyoverse to release a Soldier banner. Let's start cooking now
@@flossinonyou till then I'll be pulling on the standard banner to get her, idc. And also to get everyone else because they're all super cool
I discovered something recently with weekly boss but too late you can by patch only level the skill F for only 2 characters… If they keep the same rythm that star rail we can’t get every 4 star and 5 star level the skill F
Never needed tip #4 because I play the weekly boss fights even without drops, just for the fun of it lmaooo
I waited until lv52 to use the batteries. It’s really good for grinding disk drives for future characters
Is it bad that my main goal is to get 1 character 🐁 and get the most of it? Max power and things
there’s nothing wrong with that! I did that myself with Soldier 11. There’s no right way to play, just enjoy whatever you like!
I'm 5k exp away for reaching 50. I don't have battery and resources anymore trying to maximize Jane Doe 420AP and high attack. Waste a lot of days and batteries grinding discs and levelling them up for the AP and now i don't even have resources to build for other team. Messed up big time but yet I still enjoy playing it (probably)
Fun fact, when Qingyi banner came out I was away on vacation, and since my phone does not support the game, I only have it installed on my computer at home, when I came back home from vacation Qingyi banner was about to expire, only 1 Day left and S Rank character guaranteed drop was in 50 pulls or something like that, what happened, I made a pull x10 saw the anmation which tells you got an S Rank character, when I get there, it was not Qingyi, it was Koleda, I do it again, and again it's not Qingyi but Soldier 11! 😅 I was mad beyond reason, I really need another Stun character that works, because the only one which I own and works is Anby, Koleda and Lycaon do not work (meaning that there's no way to start a chain attack with them) but at least Lycaon has a saving feature, he's stun DMG multiplier is way greater than Anby's one (Anby between 150-200% Lycaon between 200-272%).
Interknot 48,nearly 49
Started playing before "global release"
July 3rd BTW
Put most of my pulls in standard to get soldier 11
Best weapon I can pick up for her is starlight engine
Thank you for the video ! I took a break after 1.0 n this video is helping me get back in
no problem! thanks for watching!
@@flossinonyou should I pull ceaser or save ?
@@gamer_jss it depends on what you think your account needs. if you’re a more causal player, i think that going for Caesar King will be the best bet for you. however if you like using different strategies and team comps, widening your character roster based on what you need is a good investment as well.
Just hit Internit 45 amd didnt even know i had batteries lolz guess getting to 50 is gonna be easy 😅
I’m at Inter knot 40 just today what could do before?
I would say only have the mindset to pull for the character u want only if your current team is good enough to complete all endgame contents. If not, try pulling for a solid dps then you can chill with the gacha ❤
I have a question and a request.
Question: do you think playing on controller is better than keyboard and mouse? Should I try it?
Request: can you make a video explaining good team composition please? I just started recently and I’m not really sure how to build a solid team.
I find playing on controller more comfortable because im able to adjust how i’m sitting while playing. I feel like keyboard and mouse forces me to sit up.
Also i can for sure work on a team composition video! Thanks for your input!
@@flossinonyou thank you kindly!
i still don't have all my character with good disk drives but still getting through most things with the 3 that have good ones
i love how i did all of those mistakes and now i am stuck at lvl 43 :D
Ganyu LOOKED COOL TO YOU???😭😭
@@KemarTheKreator UNTIL I PLAYED HER IN GAME HAHAHAH
nice video, i am in lv. 34 now but i don't really know what i want to upgrade. Well like this video pick a right team and upgrade the skill first, disc for later
I got ganyu just in 30 pity just wanting xingque. I didn't want her at all, but she carried my abyss for 7 patches. Why is she so underrated
she's really good actually! i just find her playstyle a bit boring
I’m currently Interknot level 28 after playing for a week, why do we need to reach a certain Interknot level just to progress the campaign? I’ve only lost a battle once, while way underleveled against Doppelganger Jane Doe, but for some reason I still can’t continue against campaign, but it will happily make me do level 30 quests while only level 30 with two agents 😭 I cleared Newborn/Regular Dead End Butcher no problem, but aren’t allowed to fight the fodder campaign?
as a corin main i wont stop till i get that 60 crit rate and 150 crit damage
I have almost all my A ranks and their weapons maxed and the only character/w engines I’m missing are Rina / lycoans Koledas Ellen and Zhu Yuans W engines .. I’m pd off I missed those two special banner engines but Brimstone on Zhu works probably better imo (4200 base attack at 60) and steel cushion works just as good for Ellen but man if you can pull for Jane and her weapon you should.. I just did 2.1 mil damage without even trying on a single assault against a hollow zero core boss the other day and my Jane isn’t even maxed (she’s 50) having 430 proficiency on her and I know I could get that higher with better disc pulls is just insane
Also don’t ever count out Ben.. he is a ridiculously good agent when built right with 4 soul discs and 2 of the energy recharge ones with as much defense as you can get (my lvl 60 Ben has 2500 defense and with his W engine maxed does like 100k+ damage every 8 -12 seconds with those counters) not to mention if you are in hollow zero and have a bunch of shield resonia.. he’s not gonna be taking ANY damage lol
I can’t wait for Caesar cuz I kind of just want to throw together Her Ben and Seth on a team and see how that does in terms of longevity in hollow zero 😅
tip number 8 is basically like honkai impact 3rd.
i'd sort of agree and disagree with tip 8
i'd say pull a character you like/waifu *but* then you need to build a team around them. cause even if you got your waifus if they don't make a good team it will suck struggling when you have to play the game
pick 2 characters you really really like then find out what will make them work so you can enjoy using your faves while clearing content
Regarding #3 - that's generally good gacha advice: level gear LATER. Level character, weapon, and talents FIRST.
- Artefacts in Genshin, Disc Drives in ZZZ, Relics in HSR... it's all the same crap... randomized stats. Just pick the A Rank/4* S Rank/ 5* stuff you have as stat sticks until late game/end game. Never level B rank/3* artefacts, it's not worth the time. You shouldn't be blowing stamina/resin/charge/trailblaze on that until end-game.
- Instead build character level, weapon (light cone/w engine) levels and talents. Those matter more and aren't random; they're permanent / indelible stat boosts. No character gets worse by having more levels, higher stats and better weapons... but you can get worse with the wrong artefacts/etc. or waste your time playing the RNG game of "is this new artefact better than what I have while RNGesus slaps you every time you try. It's not worth your time/energy.
- In HSR and ZZZ, only 3 months into each - I don't bother at all because I'm clearing content fine: I focused on character level, talent/trace level and w engine/lightcone level.
- In Genshin... 2.8 years in... I still don't bother min-maxing artefacts because it's kind of a waste of time - I just focus on maybe getting the right set, or maybe the general stats on the wrong set (like my Nilou who is on all HP artefacts... all wanderer's troupe ... or my kuki who has flower of paradise lost, but couldn't tell you how many pieces are EM pieces).
- Gacha games can be a lot of fun, but they're huge time sinks if you don't know what you're doing. There are efficient ways to play the game/level up and inefficient ways. The game does not warn you when you're wasting your time. :P
Pulling your fav characters or for the team doesn’t matter as it’s random.
Just optimise the best of what you get
My man, Billy is my fav DPS but I cannot lie that Piper and Corin can dish out more dmg than my pseudo devil may cry boy..
Never underestimate a C6 A-rank agent u were given to while pulling for the agent u wanted.. my c6 Billy and Soukaku is a total monster now. Even pushing out more attack points than my c1 Ellen. 😢
tip 8 I learned from my genshin incident in clorinde and furina banners, i love them both so much and i was rate on at that time and i actually trying not to get clorinde but she just to damn pretty so i got her and than at furina banner i lose rate off and sad i can't keep up and have to let go furina but than what amazing miracle about to happened kazuha rerun and now i have him : ) btw (i actually can get kazuha in neuvillette and his banner but i choose eula instead him so yeah i f twice in my life because of girls i hope in RL im not like this LOL)
Ngl most if not all the tips that are applicable to genshin are applicable to this game too lol so ngl i think i had a flawless run so far(except when i sacrificed like 20 ether batteries for yanagi). This is coming from a lvl 47 player
i would only use tip 8 if u are doubting on who to pull.
for example i was thinking on pulling jane doe but not 100% sure so i waited to what 5 stars i got.
and i got koleda and lycaon really lucky imo. so i decided i will wait for miyabi, see if she stays as ice attack or changes and go for it if it goes well.
i will not have any rush for strong dps as honkai really fucked me up with what main dpss i chose
She will be ice anomaly accompanied by murasama lightning attacker and yanagi lightning stunner (this is ingame info, yanagi deals stunner damage and harumasa is an attacker, which makes miyabi an anomaly)
2:00 my dumbbutt got to 30 in two days 😭Batteries are GONE
About to hit 43. Been grinding as much as possible before 1.2. Just finished chapter 3 and only have 2 days to experience golden week, lol..😢
what are good team comps fpr me? the characters i dont have is jane,zhu yuan,qingyi, ellen
@@Audreychrystelle Zhu yuan, Qingyi, and Nicole is a great team comp to play. if you have Seth, Jane Doe works great with him as well
"let's go gambling"
-gamblecore
Man wish I knew about the disk drive still stuck at level 30 with miyabiy but she doing level 42 damage with my set up
I'm LVL 46 and I haven't done anything end game 😅 my characters are under leveled but they get by, well, except end game stuff
Can someone please help?!?!? Im level 45 and have No more missions at all
I need some advice please...
I have zhuyuan qingyi nicole
I got c1 rina and thats it for standard 5star
Got lycoon lc and koleda lc
I have c6 corin
What should I do? Pull jane doe or save?
I like caeser too😢
If you play Corin: you should NOT pull Jane Doe and go for Caesar King for sure. If her beta changes make it to live, you’ll be clearing all the content easily with Caesar and Corin. it’s a nice bonus that they are both Physical Agents as well.
If you don’t play Corin: i would suggest picking up Jane Doe, especially if you don’t have/play Piper as well. it will definitely be much harder to get her (as well as her W-Engine if you like going for those as well) since you picked up Zhu Yuan and then Qingyi right after. still tho, she is a great pickup if you don’t like the other physical Agents we currently have.
I’m not sure what C6 Corin does, but i’m sure she is just as strong as other S-Rank Agents at C0. It ultimately comes down to if you like Corin or not, and do you play her. That will tell you if you should pull or skip Jane Doe.
Good Luck with your pulls!
@@flossinonyou Thanks i will try out corin
You got jane doe because she is a hot waifu, i got jane doe because she pairs well with grace and my anomaly team, we are not the same.
Im on level 40 now and the only task is to level up inter-knot more. Does anyone know when the actual main story continues? What level do I have to get to?
if i remember correctly, you have to reach level 45 to continue further in the story. I could be wrong though
@@flossinonyou Thanks!
I want to pull for current better DPS to carry my team. Having all DPS can be clutch to ending certain stage under certain amount of time. For the time being I need Yanagi but if Lighter is a better DPS I'll prolly save up and wait abit.
Lighter is a confirmed Stunner. I’m sure you can run him as DPS, but it won’t be as effective as Yanagi.
Prolly I should get both. Tryna pull 5 times in a row to see whether I get Yanagi or not. Few more to collect then straight to pullin. 🤞
Best game ever played
I was having a haaaaard time at Interknot lvl 40. 😭😭
Then I started reading. And actually attempting to understand the shit I'm reading. Not just " BLAH, BLAH GIMME MY COOL CHARACTER "
It's funny how you begin to melt enemies when you take the time to comprehend.
My Piper, Luci, and Anby out perform.
P.S Butler Bangboo is CLUTCH.
i did the exact opposite i started with koleda lucy and soldier 11 and switched to ben, because i got the belobog bangboo xD
