Hey everyone! I came back to playing Genshin a few days ago, and as someone who always comes back to the game after long breaks, I’ve been overwhelmed by how many new things there are — especially all the enemies designed around newer characters. Honestly, it was pretty discouraging at first.

But I’ve decided to take the healthy approach: screw the endgame content and just play progressively at my own pace instead of getting addicted to chasing Primogems. 😅

Anyway, I’m currently being offered a free 5-star constellation, and the characters I have that are at least somewhat interesting for this choice are Albedo, Lyney, and Mona.

Since Mona is a standard character, I ruled her out. I really like both Lyney and Albedo, but I have no idea which constellation would be the better choice.

On one hand, I love playing Lyney — he’s a fantastic character to play — but he has some limitations, so I’m worried that investing the constellation in him might end up being a waste.

On the other hand, I really like Albedo too, but right now I only use him in a Hyperbloom team I have, which doesn’t even activate his new talent. Still, his constellation seems much more versatile to me, especially since I have very few Geo characters (only around 5).

What do you guys think? Would you go for Lyney or Albedo in my situation?

I’d appreciate any advice!

Hey everyone,

I'm about to start a fresh Genshin account and I'm stuck deciding between the EU and NA servers.

I speak Portuguese and English. Ping-wise, EU is clearly better for me (~55ms vs ~100-110ms on NA), but from what I've seen EU chat/co-op is mostly Russian speakers, with not many English or Portuguese players around. NA seems to have a much bigger mix of English/Portuguese speakers, just at a noticeably worse ping for me.

A few things I'd love input on:

1. How much does the extra ~50ms actually matter in Genshin? It's not a fast-paced shooter, so I'm wondering if it's even noticeable outside of co-op domains/abyss.
2. Which server actually has more active players overall? I know you sometimes need to hop into other people's worlds to farm materials (ley line outcroppings, local specialties, etc.) when your own world's stuff is on cooldown — so a more populated server would help avoid long waits.
3. If you're on EU or NA and speak English/Portuguese, what's your experience been like finding co-op partners or an active community?
4. I've also heard EU gets events/banners earlier than other servers due to server reset times — does this actually make a noticeable difference in practice, or is it just a few hours that doesn't really matter?

Any input from people who've actually played on both (or switched) would be super helpful. Thanks!

Team 1 - Sandrone, Odette, Yae Miko C1, Shinobu
Team 2 - Yoimiya, Yelan, Citlali, Furina C6

After building Sandrone and Odette a little bit, this is easier than I thought~

Hello :) this is my first post here. I'm not the best 'character builder' ever, but I tested Mizuki C0, Odette C0, Qiqi C2 and Yae C1. It's actually pretty fun and just nukes enemies.

Is it the strongest team ever? No, but it is a fun side of both stellar reactions, especially with Mizuki VERY comfortable playstyle.

What do you guys think? I appreciate all the tips and trials with Mizuki.

I am so overjoyed to finally be able to use her. 🌸🍃

I can't post builds here (guess I can only link a video?), but I can if anyone wants to see.

How do people not like her? Look at her go! These trials are so easy with her! Go Jean!!! She's been such an asset here in Snezhnaya!
