  1. All this new system did was outline how bad the artifact system rng is. Maybe a way to transfer one main stat to another artifact by destroying one? Also it doesn't show what set most people are using.

  2. I love how on some characters, they don't even have recommended Talent upgrades, it just says, "Statistics are being tabulated". Geo Traveler came out a year ago, MiHoYo. You're telling me you don't know how to build them?

    Generally I also prefer to stick to online guides, because they show me multiple methods on how to build characters. Sometimes there's an optimal build choice, but these recommendations naturally shoehorn in their own idea of "the best/most popular build" without taking into account other ways you can build characters.

  3. Hmm… I wonder how they calculate the talent upgrade priorities. Whichever talent is leveled first or whichever hits lvl 10 first..?

    Cause I sometimes level all or two talent first, not knowing yet which to focus on, then once I hit lvl 6 where we start having to use weekly boss material, I start focusing on maxing out one talent first before the rest.

  4. I honestly think that the data is breathing in a lot of copium pieces into the artifact pool while the talents is skewed by those who do the max all approach.

  5. I think a majority of the new players follow guides more than when we (older players) started out (probably because it was new and no guides were available right…like duh 😅). But the talent recommendations need to be updated for sure. The artifact recommendations aren't as bad, as we have just witnessed.

  6. I guess this feature is fine, but it's important to reiterate that you're relying on "the will of the populus" which can easily remain unreliable or outdated for a long time.

    I'd stick to content creators' guides. Such as Mr. Brax over here.

  7. CRIT venti user here, tbh we all know that he's better at using triple em, however if you have multiple anemo characters who want em, venti em to CRIT comparison have the least gap compared to CRIT sucrose/kazuha/sayu/ even jean arguably that's why we mostly use CRIT venti, simply because Valley of Remembrances hates us D:<

    Kokomi: even if you're using clam, HP/Hydro/HB is the best since she the difference between HP and Hydro cup is so small in terms of healing

  8. Nice video, as always, but can we take a sec to appreciate brax for supporting women’s reproductive rights with the fundraiser he’s contributing to? Mad respect. I think as men, it’s our responsibility to help women and those with uteruses as much as possible, especially right now and damn, yea, just respect levels through the roof. also, i’m going to look for you so hard at ax.

  9. In response to so few people using EM sands on Ganyu: I assume a large part IS due to how much more popular Freeze is than Melt BUT in my case…..imagine actually getting EM sands to drop.

    In response to the "100% uptime" Yunjin…..clearly you haven't tried just running all def% with cracked ER% substats so you have 100% uptime anyway. It's not too hard since you're already running an ER% weapon and none of her other stats really matter short of an amount of crit rate.

  10. And people defend that feature saying "it is just a recommendation". It is like saying there is no bad recommendations. And then those "That is how meta slaves build, I build how I want" people.

  11. when it came out I looked at dilucs talent level up recommendations and wanted to cry LOL, if anyone sees this: level up your normal attacks PLEASE

  12. I personally run Ganyu with att% sands since 1.2 just fine.

    While my Ganyu has obviously improved since then (summary of evolution down below if you're interested), I'm actually piqued about getting one good EM wanderers sands. I'm sure my non-reaction damage will go down (I'm currently doing 18k + 36k per charge), but knowing I can potentially get even better damage with EM sands melt team is interesting. Will try it when I get that sands (which would prolly take another 2-3 patches)

    My 1.2 Ganyu to Present:
    From Blackcliff user to Skyward to Amos; Blizzard to Wanderer's; 1.9k att with 39% 180% crit ratio and 100 em to 2.4k att with 61% 222% crit ratio 120 em

  13. A lot of the comments on EM are valid😅 I’m a Ganyu main since 1.2 and just very recently was able to get a viable upgrade to EM sands. I literally feed every bad artifact in hopes of upgrading my Ganyu. Pretty much only work on her build at all times. I’ve just now after a year and a half, got the EM sands

  14. to be fair on Venti's case it's harder to get EM on goblets and crowns, even more when at least one of them has to be on VV, I run him with crit too because of this.

  15. EM artifacts are an absolute pain. I’ve been farming VV for around 2 months building my Sucrose and also farming for my future Kazuha on to not be able to even get one EM circlet to drop. I’ve only gotten One EM Sans and One EM Goblet to drop for VV as well. That’s how rare they are.

  16. EM sands are just generally rarer than atk% sands which means if the damage is less than 10% difference then people tend to use the one with higher crit because na average genshin player's brain is wired to get neuron activation if a piece has high CV
