The not leveling up makes sense. You tend to lock a bunch of "might turn out okay" artifacts when you first start farming the domain, and then you just never return to them if you do finally get a good one. And it does take resources, even if you can feed level 4 artifacts into a level 0 one to make it level 4. Eats up some mora. Also, when looking to level up or drop the artifact into the strongbox, the locked pop up window obstructs the stats. That really hinders the cleaning up process.
The main issue is less not leveling and more that my brother hasnt learned how to decide what artifacts to keep or not (edit: and when to decide to stop leveling them). Teaching that is a hard thing to convey, so my goal was kinda to show some of my process for artifact selection to maybe help my brother or anyone else with deciding how to filter down your artifacts. But yeah, the resource issue with artifacts is annoying af, and preventing your inventory from getting to my brothers point takes constant leveling.
The other thing I do is keep artifacts that might be an OK placeholder for a new character that needs the artifact set, or might work out for a new character that can use the set but scales on something weird.
i have a long list of "maybe" artifacts, or good artifacts with undesirable main stats that might be useful in the future. sure helped when fontaine came out.
@@GruntSquad92this was also the case for me, but I already guessed that hydro archon will scale using HP far before Fontaine dropped. I ended up using those HP% with double crits artifacts for her and Neuvilette
8:42 I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Xiangling. I try to play Diluc. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Yoimiya. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Cyno. My Xiangling deals more damage. I don't even try to play Dehya. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe - they both want Xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the Catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull Engulfing Lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Homa." I can't pull for Homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world.
I gotta try to make more of them. A lot of people have requested I fix their accounts, but its just kinda hard to evaluate how to “fix” an account without knowing that person and how they may enjoy playing the game, right? That was why I ended up not deciding to do much past getting Kazuha functional for the other video I made for my friends account (it just wasn’t necessary for how she plays the game). I could just recommend meta things, but I feel that gets kinda repetitive and boring, so I want a better way to “fix” accounts in a more personalized manner.
@@Solunerra Yeah that's a great way to do it. I like playing characters that I enjoy and that work together and I tend to stay away from the meta. I dislike Bennett since he is in a lot of meta teams.

@@Solunerrameta it's also just a convention, some teams just edge out a tad from what characters you can have, just try and elaborate what the best course of action is... And deciding to build characters for the needs that could present, like... If I were to build 2 team for abyss that could be suitable for most the situations I would build: first of all xingqiu, as, besides having some great qualities like dmg and d reduction, he has the best hydro application of the bunch, that could be especially helpful in situations like the elemental shields we have in the abyss, then I would build xiangling, same reason as before (besides dmg, elemental application ex: cryo, electro and dendro shields), then Bennett... Traveler, suitable in many situations based on what you need, like, if you have rift wolf boss, you can just insert geo traveler to deal with it... Use dendro for hydro shields and for single target situations (hyperbloom) or even multitarget (burgeon), then yao yao, to have the same archetype whenever geo traveler is needed + healing, kuki, dori or lisa, if no other options are present, another hydro applier, barbara if nothing better, with NC combos, and sucrose with fischl as additional characters... You now have the base team for national sucrose and hyperbloom, if you need more hydro application in the first half you can sub sucrose for barbara and play aggravate down... This is just to show you can build effective team with minimum requirements with dmg output not far worse than more expensive teams, you can then obviously adjust the teams based on what they have available.
the strongbox segment of the video gave me an aneurysm I'm practically wasting my life force away for a chance to have a double crit hydro dmg goblet for my Tartaglia PLEASE LORD
A hybrid raiden build is very possible considering that the new battlepass polearm gives more em at R5 than dragons bane and you just need 3 elements in a team
@@SolunerraHybrid Raiden needs the Cyno EM to ATK% weapon to be really good. So you go EM, ER, Crit and get automatically ATK and Electro DMG (from ER) with it.
I would like to convey solidarity with Adam. For I too leave too many artifacts in my inventory, unleveled, locked, and just sitting there. My hoarding tendencies from regular RPG games is strong. (And I too made my better-playing-at-Genshin friend cry when she saw that the first time around and winnowed everything down. She also knows the pile is...growing again.)
Some artifacts will surprise you. Had a hydro bonus emblem goblet in my bag for a year. It had atk% hp% crit dmg and em. It seemed worthless so i let it rot. But when i said screw it and leveled it. Now its 22% hp and 28% crit damage thus yelan became a happy lady.
I love listening to your voice it’s relaxing. I don’t like using Xiangling because Gouba is annoying. He never targets what I want it to target attacks slowly and has limited range.
The trick with guoba is that he's really only there to generate energy and to apply pyro to swirl with your anemo unit during your rotation setup. He pulses slowly so that if you mess up your setup you have time to correct without stealing too many reactions away from her burst or other units' reactions.
That video reminded me of when my sibling asked me to help with their account. Your brother's account doesn't look that bad. My sibling had some top-tier characters, but the only build characters were hp Goblet xiao with Gladiator and a 4* artifacts kaeya..... at ar 58 The pain i had to go through trying to build it all.....
Yep my brothers account is mostly fine because Ive guided him, my hope was to maybe help people that had issues with artifacts piling up. I dont know if I succeeded lol
Hey man great video, i would love to see another part of this series where you do actually level up the good artifacts he had or the ones you got him through strong box. I am very much in a similar situation to him so i am betting (i hope i am wrong) that most of these pieces will magically roll into the one bad stat or too much not into crit to the point where you end up having too much atk% or too much em. At least that has been my experience for 3 years now as a "hardcore full f2p log in everyday player" ❤
Yeah I may be able to return to his account in a little while to see how he has gotten through stuff. I actually told him that it may be a good idea to farm a more inefficient artifact domain (like Navias artifacts) so that he can relatively safely fodder pieces that arent quite good, and therefore build up more fodder to get through the stuff in his inventory. Wish I had the thought to mention that in the video itself but hindsight and all that
I love this type of videos regarding account reviews, and I like the type of discussions that can come out of it, especially if the one doing so has this type of knowledge and tips... I hope to see more of this from you...
Oh I just wanted to add that I think mona should on his "to build" list... She is underappreciated but its too long to explain, but looking at your knowledge, you probably know most of what I wanted to say... He wants to play noelle, he might be looking at building gorou, he might be the friendliest of the new gen buffer that we had, not conveying so much of its potential in the c6 as we've seen with other characters, he can build him with fav and 4 exile with the circlet as the off piece with as much er stacked into it. Diona it's also a great option to add, just have her to wear instructor and it's all set. I had and excellent experience with keqing, if he's experiencing trouble in clearing the abyss, building her could be a solution, she is very easy to play, and seeing his fischl gear... Thoma it's great for burgeon, probably not as high up in the list of the characters to build but one you can consider later on... Same thing for lisa, having her at A4 unlocked could be good in some scenarios, layla can be another one and candace if he ever decides to play with nilou...
More than building dendro traveler... I suggest him to build geo traveler, he offers some great dmg, it's synergistic with zhongli in some situations, and it's a great battery for geo characters... Just like noelle... Edit, also gives a little crit rate that it's a bit slept on on how valuable it can be.
I take a lot of care to look at my 5 star pieces and would only level up ones with poor substats if I didn't have a better on set piece. Everything else gets thrown into the strongbox for domains I don't want to do.
My problem with Sucrose is that I hate her. From a pure gameplay perspective, I should absolutely level her, but I'm just going to live with my Kazuha, who is my favorite character, and just hope I can hyperbloom my way through the other half of an abyss.
Ok, you dont have to use a character if you dont like them, nobody is forcing you to do anything lol. Best thing about Genshin is that you dont have to use everyone. Like I said in the video, I heavily avoid using XL
She is pretty fun to play as a driver... And if you value her animations too long, you can also dash out of them and, using this method, you can also spam them, like N1, E, dash, E, dash.
dude your channel is so good. you actually teach people how to juice the genshin endgame which is not information that's easy to find outside kqm. even then kqm is written to be more general purpose and cover many bases where you go over specifics. as an ar51 player with the goal of being able to 36 star clearing each rotation, this channel is absolutely perfect for me
18:04 regarding artifact I usually maintain the one's with at least 3 good substats for any character that uses that set, the ones with 4 substats with the same requirements as before but it's a mainstat thet it's not used on any of the characters of that set. Or 4 liners with the necessity of 1 or 2 stats, like em for kuki... But even then, I'm in a situation similar to your brother, I play since release... And even this method isn't rigorous enough nowadays to let me have more space in the artifact department
22:31 I was about to say that, people sleep on noelle, especially since the release of furina, her team-wide healing synergizes very well with furina fanfare, and makes her better than itto in most situations, this while only valuing dmg, not comfortability... And people forget how huge her aoe is... Especially while charge attacking with the "book" "map" ecc... Bug.
Returning to the previous argument, using the method of selection I explained before, I managed to get ironically enough the best build for a character I wasn't planning on doing so... That being shenhe... Her stat distribution is insane, most pieces are 4 liners and near 0 wasted stats... Her total is: 3600 atk, 110 em (I use her in melt teams), 44 crit rate, 95 crit dmg, 190 er%, 4 emblem... Spine as the weapon
I really like your argument regarding circlets, how people only focus on having crit on them to be good, like, I use on my raiden a circlet with no crit in it, a total of 22% atk, 18% er... Even if I had a piece with 15 crit rate but no other good stats it would result in a dmg loss, even in a full team scenario with Bennett, where atk% diminishes in value.
27:50 I really hate how difficult it's to level them up, its a bit frustrating, I'm come to the point of hoping an artifact rolls bad in the first rolls so I can trash it away...
Wait, wait, WAIT, *WAIT* Are you telling me…that it is NOT common practice to keep artifacts at level 0 until you get exactly the ones you’re looking for and THEN you level them? Aint no way.
15:08 I was about to say, don't forget this isn't solo impact, you will probably have some other sources of elemental damage bonus in your team with neuvi, like furina, kazuha or even a sucrose with Inazuma catalyst
Yep, I just saw it was a good opportunity to illustrate the difference in dmg% goblets vs HP%, one situation with a lot of dmg% and one situation without much less. Its rare that I so perfectly have an opportunity to directly show a comparison for artifacts like that
"Why are so many level 0 artifacts?" ... "Just level them up!" bro... Why don't YOU level them up then? "I can't because there isn't enough resources to level them up" HELLO !!!??? Then why are you surprised that there are so many un(der)-leveled artifacts ?
Story about my genshin account because I'm bored This video reminded me of the very first few characters I got lol I started playing genshin when it came out, but I was just exploring, so I forgot to pull for characters most of the time but when I decided to pull for some characters I got in order: Fischl, Bennett, Yun Jin, and Sucrose. Back then, I HEAVILY underestimated them because they were 4 stars, so I thought they had to be bad. I didn't get characters often because of my luck, but when I did, they were REALLY good (ignore that I got Dori after that :^)
My friend doesn't use the resin on his account, doesn't learn the game, only does archon quests. His characters get super weak and he asks me to log in once in a while to "fix it". i wish he'd learn the game. ah, the infinite list of locked artifacts? i have that too. you mean you don't have "maybe" artifacts that you resort to when you have spare resources and/or want to build a new character? do you really upgrade any and all artifact you get, even if the starting stats are only a "maybe"? Btw i have never used a single 5 star artifact to upgrade artifacts ever since the strongbox came out. it's an absolute waste to do that when you can strongbox them.
I may do a community post at some point for people to submit their account to fix, but I will be busy for at least the next bit with some videos I got planned this patch, but feel free to keep an eye out for it!
I started playing at release and just got to 1700 locked artifacts, similar quality to this. Just thinking about doing the micromanaging gives me a panic attack so I keep putting it off.
I like your content . You have so much distance between yourself and the genshin drama creators it’s awesome. Nothing but positive vibes here! Do you have a chat where like-minded people hang out?
I lvled cook girl way be4 she was c4, in sucrose national she still shreded with subpar artifacts when bursts are on, but then i had to spend some time bringing everyones ult up (except sucrose, she had it up every other rotation) Havent really used the team since way be4 i c4ed her (bit of trouble hitting airborn enemies and no dedicated mining character) but i started doing emblem domain for them to bring artifacts up a bit (including yelans)
As someone who started playing about a little over a year ago, I also do not have C4 Xiangling. XD She and Bennett seem to enjoy avoiding me. Even when I am trying to pull for them. >
working on my daughters account, She started in Dec 2020, I started in May 2021. She as a well built Ayaka, Ganyu, Hu tao, Kokami, guess who she doesnt have built, XL,XQ Bennet, Kazuha ,KUKI...noelle sitting there at 40. I dont even have Ayaka, Ganyu and Kokoami. Im having a heck of time getting things done with these lol.
Hmm good idea, maybe can do that, tbh my impression of the feature is that it is relatively pointless, because I think to get use out of it you need to know what you are looking for to know what to tell it to auto lock, and if you know that already then its just as easy to lock artifacts individually. BUT I should definitely try to see if there is a way to utilize it in a way that could simplify people’s ability to get through their artifacts, so I will look into it. Ty for the suggestion
It’s kinda funny I’ve been playing for a year now and I don’t have a single xaingling constellation or even a fischl and I only have 1 xinqu constellation
I kind of regret leveling sucrose and xiangling. Only really did it because everyone says they are great. Then i proceeded to almost never use them. When i got kazuha basically every anemo unit on my account died. until furina then jean came out of her coffin.
I mean yeah, Ive had that issue with some units too. Which is to say that I built units because people said they were good rather than because I had any need for them. As Ive learned more about the game I naturally learned how valuable certain characters can be for various situations based on footage Ive seen. Sucrose is someone I built after getting Kazuha, and mostly gets used as an E bit, but thats more than enough for her to be situationally better. My personal recommendation would be to build teammates relevant to a team/character that you want to play with.
I’d also love you to review my account. I’m a pseudo-whale. (I see value in buying the double top up packs every year, and I do battle pass and Welkin. Account is about 2.5 years old. The fun thing here is I have 42 characters ready to go. When I say that I don’t mean built. I mean I have 42 characters that all have their individual artifacts and their own individual weapons; mainly five stars. So basically you can open up abyss and pick 1 out of any of my 42 characters I have built and just use it. No needing to ever look at artifacts. I have no need for load outs xD.
‘He kept going untill he lost the 50/50’ bro I have never won a 50/50 💀 is he a whale or something??? C2 FURINA MEANWHILE IM OVER HERE WITH MY GUARANTEED Furina after 81 pity 😭😭😭
No he is just annoyingly lucky as of late lol. He does buy most battle passes and welkin iirc, but didnt whale for Furina somehow (meanwhile I needed to use 8 months of saving for C2 Furina lol)
I lost the 50/50 got Verdict, then I rolled with the rest of my money meant for mist splitter lost the 50/50 got jean, grinded and got Navia at the last minute c2 Sucrose, c7 Candace (LOL) c3 Rosaria, c1 Gorou, c1 Xingqiu, Skyward Harp, Rust, Dragon's Bane, Akoumaru, Etc. So It weant from cope to hope $200 not wasted.
I have the same problem. Which one you used for the 3:1 converter? I think like: This artifact with flat Def and Def Percentage could be good as the 5th artifact for Character XY.
8:48 it’s crazy to me how some people still don’t have c4 Xiangling. She is in the shop and Hoyoverse runs her all of the time. Whether or not John Mihoyo wants to admit it, Xiangling is their favorite 4-star and there is no excuse for an AR58 to NOT have a C4 Xiangling. Unless you get THAT unlucky in your pulls and end up with a c8 qiqi like me 😜
It's just overwhelming for new Players (Im AR57) how many char/Artifact combo exist. So we overlocked them. I have nearly 600-700 lvl 0 5 Star Artifacts. Don't make daly Artifact route ether. Second problem for me, to many Sites exist with too many different opinions.(how to build a Character)
There are a lot of reasons not to use Fischl, like because she's annoying as fuck. So I refuse to use her out of principle. Don't need her anyway when you have Dori or Beidou.
You dont have to use anyone in particular lol. I personally dont really factor character personalities into why Id not use them. But just as I avoid XL you can avoid Fischl. It’s just that the more of the relevant and accessible units you ignore the more difficulties you may have in clearing different situations abyss cycles throw at you. As an example Fischl applies enough electro to get through the Pyro Lector shields quite well, so if you dont have options for hydro teammates to get through them, she could be one of the best options. But basically never is one character ever specifically needed, so you should be able to freely skip using units.
I feel like Fischl gets under utilized bc in early levels she doesn’t seem to output much damage at all or apply enough electro to seemingly make a difference. She has to be invested in to get returns. I started a new account so being AR 20 with a C0 Fischl, her damage is negligible and it’s easy to see why some people might shelve her for other electro supports
@@Solunerra Probably a skill issue on my part. I just know that right now with her at level 40 and a sac bow at level 40 with Sucrose, Barbara, and Rosaria shes not doing enough electro charged damage to clear through floor 4 of Spiral Abyss with all 9 stars which is centered around that reaction. Tried to put in Lisa for resonance and to help with energy but Lisa’s… bad. I’m just resolved to get to AR 25 so I can level Fischl up enough to just output better damage and to get more four star artifacts hopefully
@@Solunerra I’ll also admit that it’s probably a personality thing. Fischl wasn’t a character I was all that into on my first play through so she gathered dust. I also didn’t quite get her playstyle with needing to spend field time on her resummoning Oz just so it stayed within range of enemies as the battle moves. Still working on her to better understand her value.
Looks better than my first acc which i dont use now but i messed that acc so much learning the game itd take months to fix lol... rather just stick to my new accs.... maybe one day tho😂
Everything you say about artifacts is true, and is the exact same method how I decide to roll an artifac too! I got a question, how old is your brother? Or is he just not interested into building genshin characters right? I really like the building part in genshin and make me do max damage with a C0 fivestar. Getting the most out of my hard earned primogems!
I dont have enough fodder to level up to 20 because i hate farming😂 it just feels like a waste to do a domain and get nothing. Plus i have characters i need to level up. At least leveling is guaranteed progression.
I wouldnt feel too bad, like I said at the start I live with my brother so it was already kinda fixed other than the artifact issue primarily. I plan to hopefully start “fixing” viewer accounts too once I can figure out a decent format for it
Skill issue is often caused by the potato smartphone issue 😅 Playing on touchscreen is difficult by itself, and imagine this on 15 fps and with huge input lag. Also, MHY never intends to fix that goddam "smart battle cam" feature - with this option enabled the camera is auto-facing anywhere but the enemies, usually where Diluc is throwing his berd to (in the opposite direction), or watching the ceiling trying to peek under the skirt of a female character. It makes me s**t bricks, seriously
I'm in this video and I don't like it... 😅 I don't think I have as many artifacts, but last time I scanned them I had ~700, and probably over half are at +0 or +4 lol But I think it's understandable tbh, it takes a lot of fodder to level them, and if you like having variety in characters, you really need to pick and choose your battles... I have Yelan, Xl and Xq with a decent emblem set already. Is there room for improvement? Definetly, I have Xl with a 4-line emblem pyro goblet with CR, CD and ER... and 63 flat def 🥲 but she's overall decent. Currently I need to improve my Fischl and Furina, so all resources are going there right now, and I feel like that happens all the time lol
The build that's on his yae Miko is similar to the build of my nahida. Idk if that good or not, I'm just tryna increase Dendron. She's done around 20k before but idk if I should switch it
the 2pc2pc for EM? depends on what team(s) you're running. if you're doing anything with Dendro reactions, having someone on the team with 4pc Deepwood is almost necessary.
I disagree with the idea of rolling flowers or plumes that only have 1 crit sta, statistically speaking its very unlikely that they give you enough average crit value to be worth enough leveling and unlike sands goblet or circlet their main stat is fixed.
i really need to work on my skill, i have c6 triple crown XL using catch yes she is pretty good but i definitely am not in easy mode I finally got my first 33* after 2years of playing, same with fischl she just meh. I dont have a polar star tho
Same, I generally find XL unnecessary to use, but someone like my brother could utilize XL more often than not to help him clear abyss more consistently
Happy New Year Soluna!!! Could you tweak my AR 58 account. I pretty much play solo and getting good advice is all over the place. I feel like I have what it takes to beat the abyss, but I'm unsure of what I need to do it.
Your Brothers account is such a mood

The trick with guoba is that he's really only there to generate energy and to apply pyro to swirl with your anemo unit during your rotation setup. He pulses slowly so that if you mess up your setup you have time to correct without stealing too many reactions away from her burst or other units' reactions.
I use him for some extra burgeon on my bloom team when I’m feeling it
That video reminded me of when my sibling asked me to help with their account.
Your brother's account doesn't look that bad.
My sibling had some top-tier characters, but the only build characters were hp Goblet xiao with Gladiator and a 4* artifacts kaeya..... at ar 58
The pain i had to go through trying to build it all.....
Yep my brothers account is mostly fine because Ive guided him, my hope was to maybe help people that had issues with artifacts piling up. I dont know if I succeeded lol
I'm an artifact hoarder too. I never know if I'm gonna get a character that will need that artifact 😂😂😂 also I just hate numbers
Lol I think there are more and more number the more artifacts you have!
@@Solunerra there are no numbers if I don't look at my artifacts 🤣🤣
@@anapaulasantos7784 Touche
these types of vids are like the Genshin equivalent of those home makeover shows on HGTV
Hey man great video, i would love to see another part of this series where you do actually level up the good artifacts he had or the ones you got him through strong box.
I am very much in a similar situation to him so i am betting (i hope i am wrong) that most of these pieces will magically roll into the one bad stat or too much not into crit to the point where you end up having too much atk% or too much em. At least that has been my experience for 3 years now as a "hardcore full f2p log in everyday player" ❤
Yeah I may be able to return to his account in a little while to see how he has gotten through stuff. I actually told him that it may be a good idea to farm a more inefficient artifact domain (like Navias artifacts) so that he can relatively safely fodder pieces that arent quite good, and therefore build up more fodder to get through the stuff in his inventory. Wish I had the thought to mention that in the video itself but hindsight and all that
Im on a 5 straight 50/50 loose streak 😂😢😭😭😭🤡🤡🤡
When I hear the line at 5:29 I immediately thought, ‘that is one hell of a hot take’.
i hate XL so much that i actively build teams with the highest priority being not using her... burn melt was a blessing
I love this type of videos regarding account reviews, and I like the type of discussions that can come out of it, especially if the one doing so has this type of knowledge and tips... I hope to see more of this from you...
Oh I just wanted to add that I think mona should on his "to build" list... She is underappreciated but its too long to explain, but looking at your knowledge, you probably know most of what I wanted to say...
He wants to play noelle, he might be looking at building gorou, he might be the friendliest of the new gen buffer that we had, not conveying so much of its potential in the c6 as we've seen with other characters, he can build him with fav and 4 exile with the circlet as the off piece with as much er stacked into it.
Diona it's also a great option to add, just have her to wear instructor and it's all set.
I had and excellent experience with keqing, if he's experiencing trouble in clearing the abyss, building her could be a solution, she is very easy to play, and seeing his fischl gear...
Thoma it's great for burgeon, probably not as high up in the list of the characters to build but one you can consider later on... Same thing for lisa, having her at A4 unlocked could be good in some scenarios, layla can be another one and candace if he ever decides to play with nilou...
More than building dendro traveler... I suggest him to build geo traveler, he offers some great dmg, it's synergistic with zhongli in some situations, and it's a great battery for geo characters... Just like noelle...
Edit, also gives a little crit rate that it's a bit slept on on how valuable it can be.
I take a lot of care to look at my 5 star pieces and would only level up ones with poor substats if I didn't have a better on set piece. Everything else gets thrown into the strongbox for domains I don't want to do.
My problem with Sucrose is that I hate her. From a pure gameplay perspective, I should absolutely level her, but I'm just going to live with my Kazuha, who is my favorite character, and just hope I can hyperbloom my way through the other half of an abyss.
Ok, you dont have to use a character if you dont like them, nobody is forcing you to do anything lol. Best thing about Genshin is that you dont have to use everyone. Like I said in the video, I heavily avoid using XL
@@Solunerra oh, I know you weren't saying I had to play her. It just reminded me how much I dislike her.
She is pretty fun to play as a driver... And if you value her animations too long, you can also dash out of them and, using this method, you can also spam them, like N1, E, dash, E, dash.
It was YOU who paid Reckless Pallad to shove (and thereby assassinate) Succrose!
dude your channel is so good. you actually teach people how to juice the genshin endgame which is not information that's easy to find outside kqm. even then kqm is written to be more general purpose and cover many bases where you go over specifics. as an ar51 player with the goal of being able to 36 star clearing each rotation, this channel is absolutely perfect for me
You would unalive yourself just seeing my account then...
I think hoyo were drunk when they coded the OG 4* characters!
when im in a lock every artifact competition and my enemy is adam 🙏🙏😔😔
My brother use to flex for being a higher AR now he’s lower and doesn’t play
I really hope his video will help me with what artifacts to use. I’ve been on and off since 2020 and I’ve never been more confused 😭✊
this is me with my brother's account except star rail
18:04 regarding artifact I usually maintain the one's with at least 3 good substats for any character that uses that set, the ones with 4 substats with the same requirements as before but it's a mainstat thet it's not used on any of the characters of that set. Or 4 liners with the necessity of 1 or 2 stats, like em for kuki... But even then, I'm in a situation similar to your brother, I play since release... And even this method isn't rigorous enough nowadays to let me have more space in the artifact department
22:31 I was about to say that, people sleep on noelle, especially since the release of furina, her team-wide healing synergizes very well with furina fanfare, and makes her better than itto in most situations, this while only valuing dmg, not comfortability... And people forget how huge her aoe is... Especially while charge attacking with the "book" "map" ecc... Bug.
Returning to the previous argument, using the method of selection I explained before, I managed to get ironically enough the best build for a character I wasn't planning on doing so... That being shenhe... Her stat distribution is insane, most pieces are 4 liners and near 0 wasted stats... Her total is: 3600 atk, 110 em (I use her in melt teams), 44 crit rate, 95 crit dmg, 190 er%, 4 emblem... Spine as the weapon
I really like your argument regarding circlets, how people only focus on having crit on them to be good, like, I use on my raiden a circlet with no crit in it, a total of 22% atk, 18% er... Even if I had a piece with 15 crit rate but no other good stats it would result in a dmg loss, even in a full team scenario with Bennett, where atk% diminishes in value.
27:50 I really hate how difficult it's to level them up, its a bit frustrating, I'm come to the point of hoping an artifact rolls bad in the first rolls so I can trash it away...
30:53 you dont fucking know how much I'm envying this piece... I got a problem with sands that don't seem to resolve
Wait, wait, WAIT, *WAIT*
Are you telling me…that it is NOT common practice to keep artifacts at level 0 until you get exactly the ones you’re looking for and THEN you level them? Aint no way.
All those maidens, who is bro farming for
Probably left over from VV farming
watching this video made me realize how big of a skill issue I have 😂 every character and cant 36 star
the new artifact locking / unlocking feature might've helped with the process a lot
Now I know where your luck went,your brother stole it
Indeed!
15:08 I was about to say, don't forget this isn't solo impact, you will probably have some other sources of elemental damage bonus in your team with neuvi, like furina, kazuha or even a sucrose with Inazuma catalyst
Yep, I just saw it was a good opportunity to illustrate the difference in dmg% goblets vs HP%, one situation with a lot of dmg% and one situation without much less. Its rare that I so perfectly have an opportunity to directly show a comparison for artifacts like that
@@Solunerra I am also using a hp goblet on neuvi cause i don't have an onset hydro goblet and my onset hp goblet is 47.4 cv
"Why are so many level 0 artifacts?" ... "Just level them up!" bro...
Why don't YOU level them up then?
"I can't because there isn't enough resources to level them up"
HELLO !!!??? Then why are you surprised that there are so many un(der)-leveled artifacts ?
Story about my genshin account because I'm bored
This video reminded me of the very first few characters I got lol
I started playing genshin when it came out, but I was just exploring, so I forgot to pull for characters most of the time but when I decided to pull for some characters I got in order: Fischl, Bennett, Yun Jin, and Sucrose.
Back then, I HEAVILY underestimated them because they were 4 stars, so I thought they had to be bad. I didn't get characters often because of my luck, but when I did, they were REALLY good (ignore that I got Dori after that :^)
My friend doesn't use the resin on his account, doesn't learn the game, only does archon quests. His characters get super weak and he asks me to log in once in a while to "fix it". i wish he'd learn the game.
ah, the infinite list of locked artifacts? i have that too. you mean you don't have "maybe" artifacts that you resort to when you have spare resources and/or want to build a new character? do you really upgrade any and all artifact you get, even if the starting stats are only a "maybe"?
Btw i have never used a single 5 star artifact to upgrade artifacts ever since the strongbox came out. it's an absolute waste to do that when you can strongbox them.
I have many maybe artifacts, but my brothers situation is a bit past just having maybe artifacts lol
someone needs to fix my account
I may do a community post at some point for people to submit their account to fix, but I will be busy for at least the next bit with some videos I got planned this patch, but feel free to keep an eye out for it!
I can barely have 5 stars artifact staying in extra i always strongbox everything to cope in getting something good which i never get like wtf
1:52 literally my account, all those locked +0s that fill up space
I started playing at release and just got to 1700 locked artifacts, similar quality to this. Just thinking about doing the micromanaging gives me a panic attack so I keep putting it off.
Damn how cursed is the rest of my Team if my C6 Xiangling with maxed the Catch doesn't make the game feel easy (never get stars on Abyss 12)
XL isnt just going to magically clear content herself, but if you use her right she is very strong
I like your content . You have so much distance between yourself and the genshin drama creators it’s awesome. Nothing but positive vibes here! Do you have a chat where like-minded people hang out?
@@lorraineviruet8973 I have a discord server (I think it should be in the description) which may be to your liking
The whole xiangling segment gave me flashbacks to the xiangling copypasta lmao “I use hu Tao my xiangling does more damage…”
i cant 36* the abyss but that's mainly because i don't have supports raised, but besides that it's just a skill issue
I lvled cook girl way be4 she was c4, in sucrose national she still shreded with subpar artifacts when bursts are on, but then i had to spend some time bringing everyones ult up (except sucrose, she had it up every other rotation)
Havent really used the team since way be4 i c4ed her (bit of trouble hitting airborn enemies and no dedicated mining character) but i started doing emblem domain for them to bring artifacts up a bit (including yelans)
I love your voiceeee, nice to listen to while I endlessly grind on genshin to get Navia..
As someone who started playing about a little over a year ago, I also do not have C4 Xiangling. XD She and Bennett seem to enjoy avoiding me. Even when I am trying to pull for them. >
working on my daughters account, She started in Dec 2020, I started in May 2021. She as a well built Ayaka, Ganyu, Hu tao, Kokami, guess who she doesnt have built, XL,XQ Bennet, Kazuha ,KUKI...noelle sitting there at 40. I dont even have Ayaka, Ganyu and Kokoami. Im having a heck of time getting things done with these lol.
Even Kazuha at level 40? Wowee lol
My golden rule for artifacts is: "does it have flat atk, def, and hp? Toss it." I only let up on this rule for cups bc I have AWFUL cup luck.
i wish i got someone to help me fix and realise what to do in my account which helps it and makes me not feel stuck in the same place for so long
I may setup some kind of google form to submit requests for fixing accounts in the future!
@@Solunerraomg that would be cool, if i get a chance id be like "look thats my account" to myself until the end of time, also appreciate the reply!
I used XL anyway before C4. But when I got C4 it was like woah.
I have the opposite problem. As soon as i get a better artifact, ill sacrifice any slightly worse ones in hopes of getting better ones
as someone who instantly levels artifacts and uses the strongbox every day this was absolutely hilarious to watch. ADAM, WTF LEVEL YO SHIT
Can you please make a guide video about the artifact auto-lock system?
Hmm good idea, maybe can do that, tbh my impression of the feature is that it is relatively pointless, because I think to get use out of it you need to know what you are looking for to know what to tell it to auto lock, and if you know that already then its just as easy to lock artifacts individually. BUT I should definitely try to see if there is a way to utilize it in a way that could simplify people’s ability to get through their artifacts, so I will look into it. Ty for the suggestion
@@Solunerra Ohh no need to thank me sir, I was just expecting for a guide video for it 😅
Im ar 56 and i still dont have a fischl 😭 ive been playing for about 2-3 years smh
It’s kinda funny I’ve been playing for a year now and I don’t have a single xaingling constellation or even a fischl and I only have 1 xinqu constellation
i lvl up artifacts to 16, since i could be that crit roll come in the next roll, but also i have like a 1000 5s artifacts so i do have tons of fodder.
I kind of regret leveling sucrose and xiangling. Only really did it because everyone says they are great. Then i proceeded to almost never use them. When i got kazuha basically every anemo unit on my account died. until furina then jean came out of her coffin.
I mean yeah, Ive had that issue with some units too. Which is to say that I built units because people said they were good rather than because I had any need for them. As Ive learned more about the game I naturally learned how valuable certain characters can be for various situations based on footage Ive seen. Sucrose is someone I built after getting Kazuha, and mostly gets used as an E bit, but thats more than enough for her to be situationally better.
My personal recommendation would be to build teammates relevant to a team/character that you want to play with.
Personally, my xiangling has 265 ER, yet I always find myself having energy issues and idk why 😭😭😭
me watching this with 1799 artifacts in my inventory:
when the game first came out i got fischel and xiangling and the early genshin co op domains i was a xiangling user
Rare early XL enjoyer spotted! I disliked her early game lol
I’d also love you to review my account. I’m a pseudo-whale. (I see value in buying the double top up packs every year, and I do battle pass and Welkin. Account is about 2.5 years old. The fun thing here is I have 42 characters ready to go. When I say that I don’t mean built. I mean I have 42 characters that all have their individual artifacts and their own individual weapons; mainly five stars. So basically you can open up abyss and pick 1 out of any of my 42 characters I have built and just use it. No needing to ever look at artifacts. I have no need for load outs xD.
I think I have 8 individual emblem sets :P.
it looks so amazing to see so much artifact at once i can never see that on my account
Dude I'm ar 58 with c2 Xiangling. Shes one of my highest lvled characters yet she avoids me like the plague 😭
Well in 4.4 you could get her c4 with the paimon shop XL and the lantern rite selector!
@@Solunerra I don't save my starglitter, and I'm thinking abt getting c4 Yanfei for my Lyney team. Ty though!
If i had most 70 % of his stuff in my account i wound be able to handle like anything by now im actually jealous right now lol
14:55 further proof that cv is crap value, crit's value is variable depending on the total, not always 2cr 1 cd.
Yep, gotta balance your stats, which also depends on what external factors exist too
‘He kept going untill he lost the 50/50’ bro I have never won a 50/50 💀 is he a whale or something??? C2 FURINA MEANWHILE IM OVER HERE WITH MY GUARANTEED Furina after 81 pity 😭😭😭
No he is just annoyingly lucky as of late lol. He does buy most battle passes and welkin iirc, but didnt whale for Furina somehow (meanwhile I needed to use 8 months of saving for C2 Furina lol)
11:50 the realization that he doesn't have The Catch is so funny lmao
I lost the 50/50 got Verdict, then I rolled with the rest of my money meant for mist splitter lost the 50/50 got jean, grinded and got Navia at the last minute c2 Sucrose, c7 Candace (LOL) c3 Rosaria, c1 Gorou, c1 Xingqiu, Skyward Harp, Rust, Dragon's Bane, Akoumaru, Etc. So It weant from cope to hope $200 not wasted.
no, this is unacceptable, fuck his strongbox luck..
tbh i dont know how to artifact
i just go purple one for purple powers lol
I have the same problem. Which one you used for the 3:1 converter? I think like: This artifact with flat Def and Def Percentage could be good as the 5th artifact for Character XY.
8:48 it’s crazy to me how some people still don’t have c4 Xiangling. She is in the shop and Hoyoverse runs her all of the time. Whether or not John Mihoyo wants to admit it, Xiangling is their favorite 4-star and there is no excuse for an AR58 to NOT have a C4 Xiangling.
Unless you get THAT unlucky in your pulls and end up with a c8 qiqi like me 😜
It's just overwhelming for new Players (Im AR57) how many char/Artifact combo exist.
So we overlocked them.
I have nearly 600-700 lvl 0 5 Star Artifacts.
Don't make daly Artifact route ether.
Second problem for me, to many Sites exist with too many different opinions.(how to build a Character)
There are a lot of reasons not to use Fischl, like because she's annoying as fuck. So I refuse to use her out of principle.
Don't need her anyway when you have Dori or Beidou.
You dont have to use anyone in particular lol. I personally dont really factor character personalities into why Id not use them. But just as I avoid XL you can avoid Fischl. It’s just that the more of the relevant and accessible units you ignore the more difficulties you may have in clearing different situations abyss cycles throw at you. As an example Fischl applies enough electro to get through the Pyro Lector shields quite well, so if you dont have options for hydro teammates to get through them, she could be one of the best options. But basically never is one character ever specifically needed, so you should be able to freely skip using units.
I lik her dramatic style tbh
Bro has beef with Fischl
I feel like Fischl gets under utilized bc in early levels she doesn’t seem to output much damage at all or apply enough electro to seemingly make a difference. She has to be invested in to get returns. I started a new account so being AR 20 with a C0 Fischl, her damage is negligible and it’s easy to see why some people might shelve her for other electro supports
Personally I think it’s less that and more cooldown issues and not knowing that to utilize her you want to do a bunch of Electro reactions in general
@@Solunerra Probably a skill issue on my part. I just know that right now with her at level 40 and a sac bow at level 40 with Sucrose, Barbara, and Rosaria shes not doing enough electro charged damage to clear through floor 4 of Spiral Abyss with all 9 stars which is centered around that reaction. Tried to put in Lisa for resonance and to help with energy but Lisa’s… bad. I’m just resolved to get to AR 25 so I can level Fischl up enough to just output better damage and to get more four star artifacts hopefully
@@Solunerra I’ll also admit that it’s probably a personality thing. Fischl wasn’t a character I was all that into on my first play through so she gathered dust. I also didn’t quite get her playstyle with needing to spend field time on her resummoning Oz just so it stayed within range of enemies as the battle moves. Still working on her to better understand her value.
Yeah if you are early game you dont necessarily have a lot of other relevant units to pair with Fischl either, her value definitely goes up over time
Gotta show lil bro how it's done
Looks better than my first acc which i dont use now but i messed that acc so much learning the game itd take months to fix lol... rather just stick to my new accs.... maybe one day tho😂
lvl 20 xiangling jumpscare
Wish I had someone to help me fix my account
I wish someone were to fix my account, i'm so bad with artifacts
Everything you say about artifacts is true, and is the exact same method how I decide to roll an artifac too!
I got a question, how old is your brother? Or is he just not interested into building genshin characters right? I really like the building part in genshin and make me do max damage with a C0 fivestar. Getting the most out of my hard earned primogems!
I dont have enough fodder to level up to 20 because i hate farming😂 it just feels like a waste to do a domain and get nothing. Plus i have characters i need to level up. At least leveling is guaranteed progression.
This is me but my account is 10x worse. This video really gave me a reality check lol
I wouldnt feel too bad, like I said at the start I live with my brother so it was already kinda fixed other than the artifact issue primarily. I plan to hopefully start “fixing” viewer accounts too once I can figure out a decent format for it
you can use baground song please 😅
Eventually I will get off my butt and find some bg music I like as a neutral background piece
I need a part 2 to this
Skill issue is often caused by the potato smartphone issue 😅
Playing on touchscreen is difficult by itself, and imagine this on 15 fps and with huge input lag. Also, MHY never intends to fix that goddam "smart battle cam" feature - with this option enabled the camera is auto-facing anywhere but the enemies, usually where Diluc is throwing his berd to (in the opposite direction), or watching the ceiling trying to peek under the skirt of a female character.
It makes me s**t bricks, seriously
I wish I had this much artifacts lmao
I'm in this video and I don't like it... 😅 I don't think I have as many artifacts, but last time I scanned them I had ~700, and probably over half are at +0 or +4 lol
But I think it's understandable tbh, it takes a lot of fodder to level them, and if you like having variety in characters, you really need to pick and choose your battles... I have Yelan, Xl and Xq with a decent emblem set already. Is there room for improvement? Definetly, I have Xl with a 4-line emblem pyro goblet with CR, CD and ER... and 63 flat def 🥲 but she's overall decent. Currently I need to improve my Fischl and Furina, so all resources are going there right now, and I feel like that happens all the time lol
The build that's on his yae Miko is similar to the build of my nahida. Idk if that good or not, I'm just tryna increase Dendron. She's done around 20k before but idk if I should switch it
the 2pc2pc for EM? depends on what team(s) you're running. if you're doing anything with Dendro reactions, having someone on the team with 4pc Deepwood is almost necessary.
I disagree with the idea of rolling flowers or plumes that only have 1 crit sta, statistically speaking its very unlikely that they give you enough average crit value to be worth enough leveling and unlike sands goblet or circlet their main stat is fixed.
i really need to work on my skill, i have c6 triple crown XL using catch yes she is pretty good but i definitely am not in easy mode I finally got my first 33* after 2years of playing, same with fischl she just meh. I dont have a polar star tho
Since hyperbloom become meta and neuvi comes i've never use her in abyss
Same, I generally find XL unnecessary to use, but someone like my brother could utilize XL more often than not to help him clear abyss more consistently
I wish my brother played genshin lol
My emblem luck is also very good its scary
Happy New Year Soluna!!! Could you tweak my AR 58 account. I pretty much play solo and getting good advice is all over the place. I feel like I have what it takes to beat the abyss, but I'm unsure of what I need to do it.
I am probably going to make a community post (soon hopefully) with a form for people to request fixing their account, so keep an eye out for that
@Solunerra Thank you so much for the response. I know you probably have a lot of peeps asking the same thing. You're a good dude!!!!
Theres 7 charea ters plus 5 more he has i want if i could id copy paste those characters from his gane to mine
what
