Mera!!! I just wanted to let u know that I love reading ur works that I find myself re-reading them so often! I especially love ur chills and thrills stories so much suspense ugh it's so good.

Tbh I stopped playing genshin like wayyy back last year, and while yes the fandom is undoubtly toxic (so very toxic, esp on Twitter and Tiktok yikes. It's the fact that a few of the voice actors don't even want to interact or associate w the game bc of how bad the fandom is), I can't even lie that a lot of the fanarts and fics r acc rly good that it keeps my interest hanging on a string. But given that it's one of the biggest games w a huge following it's kinda expected that a lot of negativity would come out of it, but it's also the reason why I stopped playing the game and interacting w the fandom that much.

I was acc part of the twst fandom around the time it first came out and it was so nice. Sure the english-speaking community was small at the time but it was so nice and not a lot of drama came out of it, plus the art work was so good, ah good times -- tho i am rly happy that more ppl r getting into it bc it's such a gorgeous game and it deserves the recognition.

Omg rereading?! I'm so honored my work is worthy of more than one read! Thank you so much!!! And I'm glad you're enjoying the Chills & Thrills stories! They have been very fun to write!

I can understand your reasons for no longer playing. I've seen lots of players feeling the Genshin burn-out, which is normal considering it can get tiring/boring to repeat similar things all the time. I can't speak much about what goes on in Tiktok or Twitter because I don't use those apps, but discourse and other toxicity can be exhausting for those who hear it so often. It's good to distance yourself from that stuff, and if quitting/taking a break is what's needed do it. Your mental health comes first. :D

I really enjoyed looking at the fanart and reading the fics that came out when twst was first released! Back then I was just a lurker who silently appreciated every work of art, but now it's nice to be able to play with an official English translation (even if that translation is strange at times). It's great that so many people are excited and want to play it! It really is a pretty game that deserves all of the recognition it's getting. <3

OMFG! Your damage!! Ughh pls share lol I think the highest I've hit so far and most recently (and I think it was by accident lol) was a little over 50k with Eula. LOL I think its because around that time, I increased her talents so its 6-5-8 atm. OH! I just checked Beidou's cons and I'm at C4 pfft I mean I want C6 but I didnt' realize she's at C4 —I just assumed I was like C2 lololol.

Oh, that reminds me, as you know, I've been tryna complete beidou. I did like 3 10-pulls and ... I got a gold star.. of which terrified me because I wasn't tryna get a gold star lol BUT it ended up being Jean lol I don't think you realize how happy I was when I saw that it was just Jean lol Which means I'm DEFINITELY saving up for Raiden like she may just complete me lol

also, I read your recent post about gaming/genshin community and thats so sucky I mean you're definitely right in cr/cd ratio (i'm by all means a newb but still). I think my Eula was like that too (like 1:4 ratio) but once I evened it out to at least 1:2.5, I think that's also why I was able to hit 50k. That reminds me of this user I found during co-op who had an obnoxious profile that, to me, almost low-key block them. It was something about using under lvl90 chara on domains and I was like ??? umm i understand that but like.... if you have a lvl 80 character that get crit 100k every other hit then why would lvls matter ? Idk it like really irked me because grinding for artifacts and ascension materials and even talent materials is time consuming and its a big turn off for other people just getting into and just enjoying the ride. idk it reminds of people that show off their artifacts and still ask if its good like... you know its good... so why did you ask???

OO yes I'll respond to some of this and then I'll share a bit not to flex bc it's not even a ~stellar~ build or anything yet but just to share on how I prioritize stats and stuff since I didn't fully comprehend all that until like....quite recently tbh.

C4 Beidou and a guaranteed Raiden seems great to me omg. Careful with your pulls from this point on cause a random low pity Ganyu/Zhongli/Yae could take away your guaranteed Raiden D:

Ugh people like that is why I don't do co op. Like that person's profile - aside from the fact that it's alienating towards newer players that won't have perfect teams or builds, they are just plain wrong. Artifacts/talents/team synergy/utilizing your reactions well is all way more important towards getting your damage off than raw character levels. It's always the people that are the most toxic that are also the most wrong. This is way Genshin was my gateway to quitting League, bc at least Genshin doesn't force me to play with these clowns LMAO

Like I'd love to optimize Itto and Childe more, but I spent a month prefarming Zhongli and once that was done I was thinking about how I also still needed an EM sands for Kazuha. It's neverending! Lmao

Although I must include a disclaimer - In that post I gave myself slightly too much credit and was misremembering my CR on Itto - it's 57% not 67% but I still stand by everything I said lmaoo.

And omg don't get me started on the "iS thIS gooD?" people with their artifacts that they know damn well are stellar.

Anyway, so my build advice. I'll put this behind a read more for the folks just scrolling

Since IK you have Eula, I'll showcase this.

I've spent far less resources farming for Eula than Itto and Childe so she's my biggest WIP of my main DPS. Just don't have the 4x pale flame, but I farmed Noblesse domain a lot for Bennett so I had all these bloodstained artifacts and threw this together. Her CR is far better with Serpent Spine but Itto is usually using it so I only switch it onto her situationally. But the phys damage from 2x bloodstained 2x pale flame and a snowtombed is wild. Her normals can hit for up to like 21k, and her bursts usually hit for about 180k. I feel like Eula wants CD > CR > Atk% > ER > ATK. Maybe some HP% since our girl has to get up close and personal and inevitably will take damage unless you have a cracked full HP built Zhongli

(Can’t get this image to full screen from desktop, may want to look from mobile if you wanna look close)

For Circlet, Goblet, Sands - if something has the main stat you want and at least two usable substats go for it and just use that til you get something better For flower and plume - If its got at least three usable substats just use that and wait for the 4x perfect starting stat ones later.

Or don't do any of this and level what you want and have fun. This is just how I do things loll. I'm always using less than perfect artifacts for the time being til the long grind for the "perfect" ones pays off.

#long post #sorry moots and other followers for these long exchanges #but i appreciate having an anon to go back and forth on these things with :D #genshin asks #lovely anons<3 #sorry i just gave you SO MUCH to read though omg
