Playing the game for years, I usually keep some around in case I want to build another character in a hurry. But in 5.0 we can sacrifice our +20 artifacts to get the resource needed to craft our own artifacts!
For the starglitter, even if you don’t have any good weapons yet, I’d hold off even on blackcliff weapons. I know early genshin you get access to billets pretty early and a lot of these craftable weapons are pretty good especially Fontaine. Hopefully natlan weapons are good too. Even if you have the wrong billet type, you can use dream solvent (which you will accrue over time doing weekly bosses) and that will allow you to change your billet type. Also there is a web event going on rn that will allow you to get up to 3 free natlan weapons, I think you just need a hoyo account and to do a short 5 minute event.
If you're doing the web event (which you should so we can get three of them for free) you can preview what 3 of them do, Polearm, Claymore, and Catalyst.
how tf do you have so much starglitter! sheesh, lol. this was good, and would've been really helpful when I first started b/c I'm still not doing bounties and requests but constantly poor lol. also, the teapot has a lot of good resources, but you have to unlock it first, and then you have to level it up to the shop that lets you buy the resin that expires.
The problem is as a small content creator, you are encouraged to engage with comments to help you with the algorithm. If I ignore comments then my videos are less likely to be seen. Bigger CCs can of course get away without replying to most comments since they already "made it".
Also, the higher the world level you go, the higher the amount of reward you get per Resin spent. Most of us already on the highest world level and we have already forgotten how bad this used to be at lower levels. However, do not level up higher than you're capable to take on. If you happen to Ascend into too high of world level, you can reduce the world level by 1 which hopefully you can handle.
Most of us spent 3 on Ore expeditions. I always maxed on the Ore ones because you can only have 3 in all of Teyvat. They don't give anymore since Inazuma.
Couple tips I forgot to put in the video: 1. Expeditions don't remove characters anymore, so feel free to use whomever, if you get characters that increase expedition rewards use those over reduced expedition time. 2. If the hardest bounty difficulty is too much for you, feel free to do the easier ones until you feel like you can take on harder bounties. 3. Up to 4* artifacts can be broken down into Mora, but I would recommend dismantling them into bottled artifact EXP instead.

Thanks for this video. Biggest thing I struggle w after a month is understanding roles within the team. I feel I'm so heavy on just brute force & attack but, outside of that ... there's just air. 😂
@@calamitygenshinimpact1255 Oh, definitely. I'm coming from Call of Duty: Mobile, and sure, eventually, I'll have complaints about this game, as well (systems are made to f you over) but, it's MUCH BETTER FOR F2P or Minnow Players. A lot of stuff seems grindable, and least every 10th draw is guaranteed a 4* or higher. Least, if you get doubles, you unlock Constellations AND get Starglitter. Btw, may I ask. When will the BP Weapon choices be updated? What's the cycle of that, and is there any weapon worth getting in your opinion?
Thanks! What would be helpful, or would have been helpful to me is an intermediate artifact guide explaining rules or guidelines on which artifacts to keep, which to discard, which to level up and when leveling up should be stopped or continued. I've had to glom up rules for myself, but other people might not have them yet and I watch these videos to see what tips and tricks others have and use when dealing with their own artifacts to supplement my own.
Thank you for the feedback, the problem is that a lot of characters are built different so all types of artifacts could worth saving especially when characters can have different builds. Talking about what is worth saving/what isn't probably would've doubled the length of this video alone, but it is something to consider making in the future.
Speaking of Zhongli on ToM, ToM 4pc doesn't work for 90% of the time, if I could make one change in zhongli's kit I would make the jade shield itself the source of the resonance and geo damage instead of the pillar, any geo construct will resonate as long as the jade shield is in its close proximity, that way u can activate 4pc effect more consistently and can have 100% uptime as long as the jade shield is tanky enough which it should due to that extra 55% shield strength (70% with geo resonance). With more than enough shield strength u can add more ATK instead of HP to deal more damage and the Vortex Vanquisher would be his best in slot. Also at certain point shield strength is more important than HP for more tanky shield.
For your suggestion on bow characters, Tighnari is a great pick to build for new players especially for Oceanid since they can choose him on the free 5 star selector on the anniversary.
Nice vid, but I'm seeing the same problem being made by all Genshin CC rn; you all are overblowing the new Artifact Maker's reliability. It's extremely good, yes, but it'll also be even more limited. I think that it is ill-advised to preach it so hard to new and incoming players, as they most likely won't come across it until they're deep in the mid-game thanks to the Adventurer's Book, but that's a one-time reward. Promoting the new item this hard is like a sort of false advertising in my eyes- yes, we will get a "free trial", and yes, it is super good, but it'll be so scarce it might as well be this game's biggest tease ever, and it'll make new players feel pressured into spending money to get it due to all the videos going around, again, preaching the new item as la crème de la crème and something "vital" or of "utmost importance" to have. I know it's a bit of a rant, and I really like the video besides that single point, but it's something I've seen all Genshin CCs parrot without much thought. Also, I almost didn't notice the "I'm not Fuwawa" intro lmao.
I get what u sayin but but for 1 I don’t think u can even spend money for tht to begin wit not only tht if players been farming n a domain for a long time just to get one roll tht dey need den itz perfect for dem yes u can’t do it often but Itz still gonna b a game changer n who knos Dey might make it better n da future
@@Burakku13 You can get it from the BP. Of course, you aren't directly buying the item by itself, but it's still mostly locked behind the BP, as we don't know any other ways of getting more of them after the Handbook's one.
@@Burakku13 And I mean yes, but CCs aren't making it clear enough that we only get 1 of these for absolutely free 100% guaranteed, and that the only other known way of getting them is via the BP (thus making it extremely limited on top of that)
>Barely mentions it for 20 seconds in the video and never again "You're overblowing it." I'm just letting new players know what it is and that it's coming in the new update. Nowhere did I say, HEY STOP FARMING ARTIFACTS AND ONLY CRAFT THEM WITH THE BRAND-NEW BEST ARTIFACT CRAFTING DEVICE. I only mention because I'm sure some new players may have heard how annoying artifact farming can be especially if they've played other hoyoverse games or even other similar types of gacha games with gear grinding. I never said it was "vital" and I never said "utomst importance" so I don't where you got those quotes from. Also SPEND MONEY ON WHAT? Resin refills? I literally have a video coming out soon telling players that spending primogems/money on refilling your energy is THE WORST USE OF PRIMOGEMS/MONEY. Also, I mentioned TO NOT EVEN BOTHER with artifacts early game, I just said to use the fast equip and call it a day since new players don't have access to 5* artifacts until mid to late game anyway. Like I am sorry to be taking this out on you, but this is so unfair to berate ME for something OTHER content creators did. Like did you pick me because I'm a small content creator that actually has to sit here and read all these comments and respond to them? It is exhausting and I'm tired.
@@calamitygenshinimpact1255 lmfao sometimes I wonder myself smh. but also I just finished and uh... I ain't know you could just turn the armor into the little potions directly??
Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:13 What are artifacts in Genshin Impact? 08:19 How do you get Artifacts? 12:43 When should you start using artifacts? 15:05 In-Game Artifact Recommendations
I dont even play Genshin and watched the video anyway! Just as a thought: Why does everyone say you need X or Y for a character (ER for Xingqiu and Xiangling anyway) when clearly for the challenges a new player is gonna face they most definitely do not need a whole lot of that stat, right? The character would totally still do their thing. Sure its running the character suboptimally but I feel the entire point of the video is just some pointers, not perfect builds for those characters... Question: Do you write scripts or is this ad-libbed with multiple takes?
Hey Nitemare, I guess the ER is for convenience so that they can have their bursts always ready to go. I didn't find it necessary while starting out. I used Xiangling without any ER and Bennett and found my burst time acceptable, I used a lot of her normal attacks/elemental skill for easier fights and started saving my bursts for the more crowded fights or harder enemies. ALSO THANK YOU, SOMEONE WHO GETS IT. I don't write scripts for my videos; I write outlines of what topics I go over and then ad lib from there with multiple takes.
Thanks for putting this together as a current guide for building Barbara. I didn't start playing until a few months ago, and I found this while investigating whether to continue using Barbara or to shift focus to other characters for healing. She and Baizhu are my key healers, and I love them both!
If you happen to get Chevreuse early on build her immediately because she is excellent at enabling even mediocre pyro and electro units and she has a complete functional and strong kit at C0. She can make lots of otherwise overlooked early game units viable without hyper investment and there are more pyro onfielders than any other element so you are bound to have a few before too long. She also pairs extremely well with Bennett, Xiangling, Fischl to make a strong flex tape core for any pyro or electro DPS. Even Yanfei and Amber can be viable with her support (not great but at least useful situationally)
I feel for a new player, what should be recommended is hyperbloom, as it is easy to execute you already get collei for free as well as Barbara and Lisa and without constellations and sub optimal builds, hyperbloom would pop off for a new player, Xiangling is not a good option for new players cus even mid game players struggle with her energy issues and the reason why she is even given recognition in the first place is because she is the only option for off field pyro application that deals damage, and you should also take note that she is very susceptible to powercreep by the pyro archon coming few patches away In conclusion, I feel recommendations for a new player should be solely hyperbloom cus even with sub optimal builds, hyperbloom still pops off
Hyperbloom sucks early game because it scales with EM and character levels. I would not recommend it for newer players due to needing EM to get the build running and hyperbloom / burgeon are tertiary reactions, they might seem easy for you, but a new player will be overwhelmed with the elemental reaction mechanics and not quite understand how it works. Not to mention Collei requires floor 4, chamber 3 of spiral abyss. Even harder to unlock than Xiangling. Even if Xiangling gets powercrept, she's still an amazing character. Does Arlecchino being the best pyro dps currently mean that Hu Tao/Yomiya/Diluc/Yanfei or any other main pyro dps are useless/not worth building? Nope, not at all, playstyle and fun first and foremost. And again, Xiangling is more accessible to free/new players.
This is something I didn't touch on so thank you for the reminder. Going to high jack this comment for some additional advice. Traveler is a unique character that can change elements, which changes their entire kit. You can level them and a weapon, sure, but talent levels reset with each element. So, it's advised to find an element you like first before building Traveler fully. Right now, Dendro is considered their best element, but with Natlan coming out, Pyro Traveler could have some potential, we won't know until the update is out ofc.
My list for new players: MC(dendro mc is pretty good), Noelle(You get her from beginner banner and she heals,shield and does dmg), Xiangling(Abyss) and after this everything is based on your luck xD. But 4* i would def build if you get them are: Bennett, Xingqiu, Kuki Shinobu. After Bennett, Xingqiu, Kuki i would build characters that are usable with your main dps. I started in 4.6 and Noelle carried me early game untill like Ar40 but after i got Wanderer my team was: Wanderer, Bennett, Xiangling, Noelle -Noelle +Furina -Furina +Yelan I still only have 5characters fully build with artifacts and lvl90 weapons (Yelan, Furina, Wanderer, Xiangling, Bennett)
if the account is new, XL XQ are long term 4* that u need to keep an eye for, but u really dont want to use both when AR is low and u just cannot stack ER, and u need R3+ fav/sac sword for XQ, so its not a good idea to build them first. Bennett is usable even at C0, he will save the sorry ass of a weak party, if u pull Qiqi early on ingame, she will carry your weak party for a while. Faruzan is great at C6 if u use anemo hypercarries, before that building her ER is a pain. U invest in amber, if u want to make genshin a complete challenge, her kit is very challenging.
I'll agree with most of this comment's advice. XQ is ok early on, you don't have to use him to burst EVERY fight, even without sac/fav sword. The particles from his skill + the particles you get from killing weak enemies should be enough to have it available when you need it for tougher enemies. Amber is fine early game if no other archer characters are available, you can just use her for her charged shots and ranged damage until the player pulls for a better bow character.
For me, I’d recommend building the MC but not leveling the skills up, only character level. Usually you’re given tasks while progressing like upgrade 3 characters to level 40 and the best part about MC is his ascension materials are free so you don’t need to spend resin. A good stopping point would be 70/70 and he’s good to use for headcount in the new end game mode where you need so many characters of specific elements. Because traveler can change elements he’s basically like a free slot if you’re short on characters. Also anemo MC pretty strong early game even without talents and you rack up all the cons for MC while playing the game.
I think the thing that is most helpful for new players is understanding energy. In most games, you just generate mana/energy, and Genshin isn't like that. Another thing is that you can get characters for free on Paimon's bargains; that's a tip that most of these new player guides leave out. Fischle, Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Bennet are all on the calendar for constellations, and it's a guaranteed thing, not a gacha (I also like Beidou and Noelle, but maybe that's just me.) Also, you're directed to Dragonspine fairly early in the game, and if you take Barbara, she can get you frozen. I wouldn't recommend Faruzan early in the game (I have her at C6 and still haven't built her,) but new players are now getting Lynette early in the game, and that makes a lot more sense. Heck, I'd build Collie first. Lastly, Lisa can take care of those birds.
I appreciate the helpful advice, but this video was solely focused on what characters to build. Talking about how energy works would be more fitting in a video about combat basics. Energy can be easily farmed from weak enemies like hillichurls and slimes which is how I dealt with the lack of ER early on. Again, topic/advice for another video. You can get characters from Paimon for free, but that is a whole other video of how obtaining that currency works and which characters to look out for, and how Amber/Lisa/Kaeya constellations are the ones players end up going for since they end up being the rarest constellations in the game. Sure, you can get constellations for other characters as well, but I feel like there isn't a need to really rush to C6 for anyone, as new players do beginner, standard, and limited wishes, there's tons of opportunities to get cons even as the character pool grows. Most players will be taking advantage of the skip to Natlan button in 5.0, so I don't see this being an issue. I only recommended Faruzan if players didn't have Surcrose or Lynette, was not sure if new players can still get her for free so I wanted to offer alternatives in case. Lisa can, but she still can't hit weak spots for Ruin Guards/Hunters, so a bow character is still advised.
Overrated for good reason. Good pyro application AND damage with much more freedom than most characters when it comes to her builds. The ER requirement is the only thing preventing her from completely breaking the game. What other utility does she need for you? Her C1 has Pyro RES shred to her elemental skill. C6 adds 15% pyro damage bonus to other team members. Her A2 talent also lets her elemental skill give an extra 10% ATK boost.
another panda banger!~ lol, but seriously all of this tracks as someone who's still *relatively* new to genshin. there was a lot of time in the beginning where I didn't have certain characters, and then there were characters I had that I wasn't sure about if I should build them or not. like it took me a while to get xingqiu and sucrose, who I think I got both from standard pulls. but then I was kinda interested in building chongyun b/c he seemed cool, but I got cold feet b/c I was lacking resources.
@@calamitygenshinimpact1255 Personally, I just find her annoying to use. Burst focused and requires too much ER, and is worthless without Bennett. She's basically just built for the abyss, which is 1% of the game. For early game, it's much better to abuse dendro traveler + Lisa and Barbara (and Collei when you get her). But I also fully am aware my particular early game account experience was shaped much differently since I didn't find the abyss early on (online talking up late game floors made me actually avoid finding it in general), and my first rolled character was Thoma, with someone like Bennett showing up only after finishing Enkanomiya. So "abuse these meta characters" was never an option, and I learned quickly that the more the community pushes "character meta" the less resourceful we're actually making new players. Give vs teach a man to fish essentially. It's much more important to teach everyone how to best use what they got, while keeping the smoother to use characters in the back of their mind to get down the line. The best early game character I ever had was Yanfei. Resource passive. Bludgeoning attack for ore farming. Ranged for pesky flying enemies (never found spectors an issue for instance) with tracking for highly mobile ones. Can abuse overload in the midgame. Still does decent damage in the late game, but has the tankfei build option. Her boss is the shielded rock frog with element switching, so it makes you think about who you're taking into your comp more. Smoothest catalyst character. Very underrated.
The issue with recommending Xingqiu and Xiangling to newcomers is that it's all too easy to underestimate how important Energy Recharge is to characters like them (aka burst-focused charas). Basically your first priority when building them is getting enough ER to burst when you want them to. *Then* you focus on damaging stats
While this is true, most players won't be building artifacts on characters early and won't have access to certain sets. I used Xiangling in my first team without an ER weapon and Bennett and found the energy management manageable since monsters shower you with energy particles. You don't need to have burst ready to go every fight. Things like Xiangling's Phys/NA build used to be a thing early on in the game until you can get these characters properly built. Nonetheless, this is still good advice to everyone building Xiangling and Xingqiu.
@@calamitygenshinimpact1255 when i started the game two years ago i had a really different experience. I was told to play her by friends and it did not help that i almost immediately went to dragonspine 😂 Guoba and Xiangling made it a nightmare. So having a word about what is ER needs and how to compensate them (with 4* artefacts maybe?) really helps.
You can correct someone's mistakes without being rude. Might be hard for you, but I hope you can learn this skill and be a nice person in the future. Thanks.
@@calamitygenshinimpact1255 r u mad ? I just wanted to correct that , I didn't want to hurt u or I wrote something wrong,, humans make mistakes it's normal, however sorry for that
My personal tip is, have some friends who's also passionate about the game. That way you won't be burned out that easily from the game. Enjoy exploring and playing and don't box yourself with the "meta".
Если очень захотеть, то можно разогнать ее до 100-120к заряженными атаками в команде с Бенетом, Фуриной, а так, в среднем по 50к без ульты Беннета и не на максимуме. Конечно, С6 , в коменде с Фуриной для сета Охотник и оружия Обряд вечного течения, которое дает 88 крит урона и 42% бонус заряженным атакам. В такой команде Фурина дамажит тоже неплохо, по 20-30к. Но нужно быть осторожным, лучше с щитовиком в 4м слоте, т.к. прерываний Янь Фей не любит и времени дамажить у нее до 15 сек под ультой, если все хорошо, то ульта набирается почти по откату. Проблема в том, что если в бездне в другой команде Невелит, то ему нужна его сигнатурка Обряд вечного течения. В такой сборке у меня получалось дамажить ей по максимуму. Если просто по миру бегать, то ей в пару пиро и гидро-крио. Оружие Песнь необъятной лазури (4 звезды), дает 30% восстановы, 48% обычным и 36% заряженным атакам. Наборы любые на дмг, главное, статы получше). Если все норм собрано, то заряженные атаки дают 40-50к.
One tip I have is play on mobile/tablet! A lot of my casual questing includes me using the auto button to get through the chat while I’m eating breakfast which I like when the quests are voice acted so I can follow along but it doesn’t exactly feel like a chore. I play on my tablet exclusively and I can tell you a lot of care has went into the touch controls and menu interfaces it doesn’t even feel like a mobile game. The only problem is that for mobile you need to have enough memory and specs and genshin keeps getting bigger with more future updates so if your phone can barely run it, just stick to pc or console.
