Hylung's Genshin Journey

This was gonna be just like the last 3, but I realized that I had an ATK Goblet that would hopefully be better than her current one, and it was.

Similar to my recent Chongyun and Yaoyao build updates, just finished leveling their last artifact from 16 to 20.

Similar to Yaoyao, just leveled up one of his artifacts to 20.

Kinda not really a build update, but I just finally leveled up her ER Sands to 20.

WHELPPPPPP, I didn't expect to be posting a Navia build update any time soon because I've generally been pretty content with where she's at, but Abyss decided to drop this GODLY flower on me. 50 CV WITH ER!

Just a Lantern Rite drip update

Got a a better ATK sands for her. It's just a straight upgrade, while not a major one, I don't see myself switching off of this for a while.

FINALLY C4!

Not  really a build update, but I got his skin with some of my saved Genesis Crystals

So uh, that sands I mentioned last post... It kinda ended up being cracked...

The last of these tonight, but yet again, another refinement update. R4 to R5!

The refinement updates just keep on coming. R4 to R5!

Oh, looky here, another weapon refinement. R3 to R4!

Yet another refinement update. R4 to R5.

Another refinement update. R1 to R2.

Just a weapon refinement update. R3 to R4.

At least my lost 50/50 got me a character I had been hoping to get for a while now! Threw my other Aqua Simulacra on him, but I would like to have closer to 75% Crit. Rate if possible, so we'll see if I can get there. I do have a promising EM Sands with Crit. Rate and Crit. DMG so here's to hoping that rolls well! But for now, this'll do.

Did end up deciding to go for Xianyun, unfortunately, I didn't get C6 Faruzan despite losing 50/50 and almost going to pity for a 3rd five-star but oh well. Had been testing how I liked her between an ER Sands and Skyward Atlas, or an ATK Sands and Fav Codex. I decided on Fav because it generally felt more comfy and consistent.

Put her back on Widsith with Raiden's old Crit. Rate circlet. Mainly this is in prep for me probably pulling Xiangyun in 4.4. However, Xiangyun may end up running Fav Codex if being on an ER sands with some ER substats isn't enough, since I don't have Oathsworn Eye.

Got C3 from the Starglitter shop this month, and with Lantern Rite coming with 4.4, I'll be able to get her C4 finally! Could have gotten it sooner, but I just kinda figured I'd get copies of her on banners like I did with pretty much every other good 4 star, but that didn't happen.

Oops, kinda forgot to do this and the Xiangling update a couple weeks ago. Nothing major, just swapped the Anemo goblets, as she doesn't really need the extra crit stats, and the ER is probably more important.

Got her a starting VV set. Trying ATK/Anemo/Crit. Rate first to see if I find burst uptime and healing a problem. May end up putting her on a Fav sword if I end up getting another and she has energy issues but is healing plenty fine

I FINALLY GOT JEAN! Got her at 32 pity off of the standard banner with this month's stardust shop wishes. Her build is *extremely* scuffed, as I don't really have the pieces I need for her, or the fodder to level them right now

Probably the last artifact changes for a while unless some even better Geo goblet pops out up out of nowhere, cause I don't have plans to farm her domain anymore and have pretty much gone through and of the pieces with potential I had. Got her Crit. Rate and ATK up a bit, lowered the relatively useless EM, and kept a similar amount of ER. As of right now, the team she's in has 3 Fav users, so she really doesn't have energy needs, if I ever end up finding teams where she needs more ER, I may change her defaults around. Will probably update when I change out her weapon, but honestly, she might use a mix of Talking Stick or Lithic Blade. The only team I'm using her in atm (Wet Rock: Navia/Yelan/Xingqiu/Zhongli), Lithic is just better than Talking Stick I'm pretty sure, so she may just end up staying on Lithic unless I find other teams she feels good with. The new event weapon would be good on her, but I just don't like that I miss out on Crit. Rate, which feels sup

Pretty minor upgrade, honestly barely an upgrade. It is an ever so slightly better Crit. Rate circlet. Still not very good, but it *is* a tiny bit better.

Had kinda forgotten I was trying my Lost Prayer on her over Magic Guide. Can't say I *really* notice if it's better or worse, but I like actually using the 5-star weapons if I can, and I don't have any better on fielder to use it. Maybe Xianyun? She might get Mona's Atlas though since she scales very heavily off ATK, but who knows.

Despite not *really* having the artifact exp, I found some artifacts that really weren't worth saving and foddered them into this circlet I got doing some of my weekly bosses this week. Overall it's less CV, but the ratio is much better, and this circlet still gives all good stats for Ganyu outside of CV.

I managed to get pieces in her personal set that were comparable to the 2pc/2pc I started off with fairly easily. I'd like to get her some pieces that have a bit more Crit. Rate on them, as I think having at least 75% with her is ideal, and I don't want to be held reliant on Lithic's passive to get that. Was originally thinking I would just end up using the event weapon for her, but I may end up using Talking Stick despite it not being the greatest weapon. But for now, she's on Lithic since most teams I've been using her in have 2-3 Liyue members in it.

Just a weapon refinement, up to R4 on his Fav Sword!

This is the very scuffed start of my Navia build. Just running double 18%ATK 2pc sets because I had a decent amount of Gladiator and Shimenawa pieces. Have some potential artifacts I could level that might be better, but I'm currently out of artifact EXP, so that will have to wait. Ideally would like to get more crit stats and less ER stats as I'm planning to eventually use the new event weapon coming out this patch (4.3), and if I do, her current amount of ER might be a bit much, and she's going to lose a decent amount of Crit. DMG. Would like to get her Crit. Rate to at least be at 75% percent because of how her damage is extremely frontloaded, it feels like it's more important to get her Crit. Rate to be on the high side, so her skill very consistently crits.

Finally got her C4!

Nothing too major, but I got a slight upgrade of a feather today! A little bit more Crit. Rate and DMG, and a little bit more HP!

Just a weapon refinement, his Stringless is up to R4!

Not a major upgrade, still an upgrade nonetheless. Would have been nice if that final roll didn't go into HP, but oh well. It's a tiny bit more Crit. Rate than before, and 42 more EM than before with no downsides so I can't really complain too much.

Nothing too crazy, but I did get a better Pyro goblet for her. Unfortunately, it got a lot of very low rolls, but it's still decent, and better than her old one.

With my 5 monthly standard wishes, I got a (slightly early 61 pity) Skyward Spine, which is a bit nicer than the Prototype Starglitter that Raiden was using before!

Now Diluc isn't exactly a "benefactor" of my pulling spree, but he is affected by it. Mainly because Hu Tao stole his EM sands. I replaced it with a pretty decent ATK sands and overall he should probably be fine, and if anything his crit. ratio is decently better now.

Hu Tao is the other benefactor of my weapon banner pulls (that I thought I was probably never gonna do again, but WHOOPS). With an EM sands instead of an HP sands, and then a Crit. DMG circlet over a Crit. Rate one, I think overall Staff of the Scarlet Sands does beat out Dragon's Bane a little bit. It's very close as they're her 2nd and 3rd best weapon choices respectively, but it's nice to be able to use all of the 5 star weapons I got off of the banner, even if this really is a very marginal upgrade. I didn't even think Hu Tao could use it at all because I didn't realize her Blood Blossom's were considered skill damage and activated the staff's passive!

So now having two Staffs of Scarlet Sands, I wanted to put them to good use. Xiao was able to upgrade his old Deathmatch, and I swapped him back to the original Anemo DMG Bonus goblet I had him on a long time ago as I wanted to eek out a little bit more EM for the weapon passive. Plus, he really didn't NEED 99.6% Crit. Rate, and this goblet has all positive stats so it is probably overall just better.

So I kinda started pulling on the current weapon banner because the 4 stars were good, got an early Staff of Scarlet Sands, and then kinda just kept pulling. So the few build updates here are going to kinda be a direct aftermath of that decision 😅 I put her on a Crit. DMG circlet now, but I'd like to get a better one for her, because that one is VERY copium.

Just a weapon refinement update. His Stringless is up from R2 to R3!

Yes, I C6'd my Bennett. Deal with it.

Built pity on the current Cyno/Ayato banners and got my Kuki to C6. Not a major increase, but still worth noting

Got a very comparable on-set goblet to the one she was originally using, which let me get a significantly better HP sands on her.

Just a weapon refinement update, Lion's Roar from R3 to R4.

Just a constellation update. Got her C6 while wishing for Furina.

Just a weapon update, Sac bow from R3 to R4.

I pulled Skyward Atlus, and while this is technically worse for her than Widsith, it felt bad letting a 5 star weapon go to waste, and it's passive is a little more flexible than Widsith's, since it always at least has some form of buff going, and the buff isn't random.

Got a really nice feather to use with her, so I swapped from her old feather and put on a different flower I had lying around. I'm not sure if this is actually better or worse than her old pieces, as her HP went down significantly.

I think my Furina build is generally pretty decent, but I'd like to get her more Crit. Rate, either through a good Crit Rate. circlet, or just more in the substats. Unfortunately, it's been hard to test her in her entirety because pretty much the only healers I have built that work well with her are Yaoyao and Kokomi. I don't have Jean, and I really don't want to build Mika, and there aren't a whole lot of other great options to pair with her to reach her full potential.
