ure very cool and I hope you have a good day

i love you very much and YOU TOO

hello this was the genshin team anon! (h might make that my name idk lol) anyways thank you for answering my ask because it was v fun to read!! I am slightly envious of your zhongli lol I've had so many people say his shields are super useful + his character is just. so nice hhhhh, but I joined after his rerun haha. CONGRATS ON AYAKA also you sound very op even if artifact farming is unkind,,, everyone ive met who's got either ningguang, zhongli, or ayaka as dps do Huge damage in domains and I'm constantly in awe

you did not ask (and i'm sorry if this ticks you off hsdkl) but the lazy yanfei build strategy is to just slap some wanderer's troupe artifacts on her and she'll become a beast (or at least powerful enough to get the job done lmao). as a yanfei main i must promote her lollll she's the most grind-free of all my characters because i've never successfully completed the crimson witch domain and am dreading the day I finally have to (if hu tao comes home I will gladly suffer for her though)

sorry about the long ask haha! anyways have a nice day

HFGJDHFJDHF zhongli’s shield is definitely very useful! i’m not a genshin character builder expert by any means, but i find that he’s still able to do a good job of protecting all of my other characters even though i really haven’t spent any time building HP on him (which is what his shield scales off of). inazuma is a bit of a different story, but even then i typically am still able to hang on to life by my last 3k HP so i would say that zhongli still tried his best there and i’m proud of him!! you’re SO RIGHT about his character being super nice, even aside from basic components of his character like his personality and backstory etc etc, i love all of the cultural references that zhongli has!

thank you for the congrats!! i could go off on several tangents about how much i love ayaka, but in a briefer note she’s so sweet and she’s the love of my life. ALSO I’M SO FLATTERED THAT YOU THINK I’M OP (hopefully i will be one day)!! right now, ningguang is most likely my best damage dealer, and zhongli and ayaka are both getting there! funnily enough, i spent around a week or so during the summer this year depopulating the ponds of mondstadt and liyue of koi fish so that i could buy that fancy new polearm from inazuma for zhongli and boost his ult damage, and the entire ordeal made me so sick of fishing that i haven’t really fished at all since then and his polearm is like either R1 or R2 right now whdfjhdfjhsd (also it’s literally level 60 while zhongli himself is level 90……..i haven’t farmed ascension materials for it either……..childe lied to me when he said fishing was fun, every time i see a koi fish now i go into fight or flight mode)

omg no don’t be sorry!! i appreciate getting build advice from other people because i think most of the builds that i have on my characters/builds that i’ve planned on my characters are all based off of advice i found online, since i truly don’t have the energy to try and compile them for myself. ALSO A YANFEI MAIN???? YOU’RE SO COOL we’re “maining liyue characters that work with the law” solidarity

i hope that you get hu tao! (use her to threaten zhongli with cutting his salary then he’ll come home on his next rerun) have a nice day as well!! <3

#oracle of athena #genshin impact #i love answering asks honestly so don’t worry about bothering me!!#i really do need to get zhongli’s polearm situation fixed soon #he’s been here with me for a long time now so he deserves as much #a funny side note is that i had been waiting and saving for ayaka for a long time so #when her banner announcement finally came i was so excited #however i was apparently SO excited that i MISREMEMBERED HER BANNER DATE???#if i recall correctly one of my friends asked me if i was ‘ready to pull for ayaka today’#and i was like ‘HUH WHAT DO YOU MEAN TODAY???’#yeah so i literally did not remember her release date correctly and she still came home!!#that’s what true love is!!#i also have a funny banner story regarding zhongli #i got him on his first banner run during 1.1 #which really wasn’t long after i first joined genshin so i never kept up to date with specific banner dates and whatnot #i just knew he was releasing in 1.1 #so anyways #imagine my devastation when i was waiting for my game to update and was so excited to log on and roll for zhongli #and childe was the first banner on the 1.1 update #ok i realize this is starting to sound more like a childe hate post #i don’t have anything against the tortilla boy i promise #he’s like one of the funniest characters in the game ngl #like almost everything sounds in-character for him #if mihoyo came out with a post tomorrow that said that childe eats soup with a fork i’d be like ‘yeah! that sounds right actually’#wait no now this sounds like a childe appreciation post #i’ve somehow managed to hit the two extreme ends of the childe emotion spectrum in one post????#THE POST DOESN’T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHILDE

who's on your main team in genshin? :0 just curious lol

HI ANON I’M AWARE IT’S BEEN A LITTLE OVER 2 WEEKS SINCE YOU SENT THIS and i’m so sorry, i haven’t been very active on tumblr recently

i’m also quite sorry because i made you wait EXTREMELY long for my somewhat pointless reply because right now i suppose i don’t entirely have a legitimate main team?? however, for open world exploration, i tend to have yanfei, ningguang, and zhongli with me and the fourth spot tends to be filled by either whoever i feel like playing at the moment, or a healer!

yanfei — for a VERY long time i didn’t have a strong pyro user, and anyways months of trying to break the wooden shields of those mitachurls just by having fischl summon oz and then have oz slowly electrocute them to death OR have the star jades launched from ningguang’s charged attack rocket at the mitachurls from the back traumatized me, so now i keep yanfei on my team whenever i can! she’s not very strong right now because all of the time i spend artifact farming on genshin has been occupied by a very certain cryo user, but she gets the job done and i love her!!

ningguang — ningguang is my main DPS, she’s extremely cool and i care about her so much! i think the title of “main DPS” is self-explanatory (basically, she does all of the work unless there is a geo slime which is the only thing in teyvat that ningguang can’t decimate in 0.5 seconds for me, so i have to take yanfei out at that point), but a fun fact is that i first saw ningguang in official art very early on when i started genshin. i didn’t even know her by name at that point because i had just barely started the game, but upon finding out she was a 4 star, i hoped that she would be the second 4 star that i would get from the beginner’s wish banner and guess what!! it actually was her

zhongli — zhongli is my shielder and burst DPS! he benefits greatly from ningguang’s geo screen that gives a geo damage bonus, and his shield has also become really useful to me in inazuma because that country has the whole entire CIA guarding a common chest for some reason. i actually didn’t use him for quite a while after i first got him because i wasn’t sure what i was supposed to do with him, but i eventually figured it out and now i can no longer dodge. he and ningguang just enable each other basically wdhfjdgfjdhd love that for them

and that’s my open world exploration team! they’ve been with me for a little while now. i do hope to build some actual teams for the spiral abyss one day when i’m no longer as busy, we’ll have to see
