Konagi's Genshin Diary

Dear diary, today I want to share how to dodge Fatui Anemoboxer's punch without consuming stamina. In short: - When the Fatui Anemoboxer starts lifting its arm in preparation for the charged punch, walk towards its side to avoid the attack, you can walk either to the left or to the right. - This works regardless of the element the Fatui Anemoboxer has absorbed. - This works even under Condensed Ice slow effects such as the one from 12th Spiral Abyss floor. - This might require some practice to use in combat. Here's a demonstration: And a slowed down version to compare frames: This ends my travel diary entry for today. I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers. Konagi-chan wishes everyone great holidays and a very satisfying new year!

Dear diary, today I want to share an experiment with Sucrose C6 as a Main DPS for Spiral Abyss 12th floor. Konagi-chan thinks the 4-star characters of the current  Character Event Wish - Secretum Secretorum  makes a really good team by themselves. After getting Sucrose C6 - while trying and failing to get Bennett C1 - Konagi-chan decided to start the experiment: "Is Sucrose actually viable as a main DPS?". The results are, in short: - Sucrose actually fits the role very well, especially against many targets but depends a lot on the supports to pull big numbers and to deal with a low number of enemies. - Sucrose is currently using ATK%/Crit build and would probably benefit more from Elemental Mastery . (After testing a partial build, atk%/crit build performs better. Still needs more testing.) - Constellation 4 - Alchemania is recommended for Main DPS role. - Especially if paired with Fischl C6, attack speed benediction buffs are super strong. - Sucrose C4 is actually a gre...

Dear diary, today I want to share some details I consider useful for attempting to clear the hardest Spiral Abyss chamber. Konagi-chan wants to warn that while these tips might apply to most travelers they should not be followed blindly, especially by travelers who never wishes or those who do so a bit too much. The basics: - Reaching Adventure Rank 50 - World Level 7 is recommended. - Of course, you need a team you're confident with. The third chamber of the twelfth floor is tough. - It is recommended to have well geared sub-dps and support characters. - It might be necessary to  cherry-pick good benediction buffs . - As a metric, aim to clear the first half within 1 minute and 40 seconds or less (at least 8:20 remaining). - It is recommended to have the strongest team take the second half as it spawns more enemies. - Try to manage the enemy movements for better grouping. This will require a lot of practice. General tricks: - Certain heavy attacks or elemental reactions if timed c...

Dear diary, today I want to share how to ensure you have the best benediction buffs for the 3rd chamber during Spiral Abyss challenges. Konagi-chan finally completed all 9-12 Spiral Abyss floors with 36 stars and getting the best possible buffs greatly helped. On 12-3 having perfect buffs decreased clear time by at least 40 seconds. First you need to: - Complete all previous Spiral Abyss floors you can. - Upgrade and/or equip all characters, artifacts and weapons you're going to use for the third chamber. This is required because once you start accumulating the desired floor buffs you can't change your team nor the character, weapon or artifacts state. Restarting will require you to lose the already accumulated buffs. Then: - Enter the desired Spiral Abyss floor with the teams you intend to use for the last chamber. - Check if the floor buff on the first chamber is a desired one. --- If not: Leave and check the new floor buff after the daily reset. --- If yes: Clear the chamber...

As of December 14, the event has ended. - Dear diary, today I want to share a reminder to finish all stages of the Gliding Challenge event. In short: - This is a reminder for travelers that didn't have time to finish or forgot about the event. - There's about only one day left until the event is over. - All challenges can still be completed and all rewards can still be claimed. - It takes only 20 minutes to finish the entire event and it's super worth it! Here's a walkthrough for travelers that likes to follow videos in picture-in-picture or on second monitors: This ends my travel diary entry for today.

Dear diary, today I want to share how to know if the controller you want is compatible with Genshin Impact on PC. In short: - The controller should use the XInput API, generic DirectInput (D-Input) controllers are likely not supported . - If the controller has a switch, usually on its back or top, and usually with the letters X and D , it should be supported if the switch is set to the XInput position. - The product description, technical details, manual, box and/or announcement page should inform which type of device the controller is, make sure it says XInput  and not D-Input  or DirectInput . - PS4 controllers should be supported . - PS5 controllers  might not work , however, they can work via Bluetooth . This should be fixed in future game versions. Here's a demonstration of the switch on the back of a multi-mode controller: Input mode switch, with identifying X and D letters.

Dear diary, today I want to share the possibly first combat issue related to high ping I've experienced. In short: - Xinyan's elemental skill, Sweeping Fervor , needs to hit three or more enemies to create a level 3 shield. - With the talent, "The Show Goes On, Even Without An Audience..." ,  Sweeping Fervor  needs to hit two or more enemies. - On ~ 275ms  even hitting 5 enemies might not trigger the level 3 shield consistently. If any other traveler was also having issues with the  Sweeping Fervor 's shield level, this might be why. Konagi-chan believes this is a bug and that miHoYo will fix it very soon. Here's a demonstration of the issue: Compilation of short tests A full run attempt Konagi-chan asked a friend to do the same tests with 30ms and the level 3 shield worked 100% of time. This ends my travel diary entry for today. I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers. Konagi-chan loves testing things when the opportunity appears. Play, r...
