Normal Geo hypostasis is already the worst stasis fight, bar none. The event is even worse.

Discussion

Seriously, after one attempt I just quit because I was reminded why I avoid the fight in the overworld like the plague: its just the pinnacle of asinine design. Ready! Set! Fight pillars....Oh you wanted to actually damage the boss? lul no. Fight some more pillars. Oh you don't main claymore's or klee? Get fucked.

EDIT: to all saying 'git gud' etc: the one attempt was for 3.4k points, and I did do it successfully. It doesn't change the fact I find this fight asinine, unfun and I never wanted to touch it again because of how disgusted I was with the content. But thanks for all your condescending advise.

Everyone has noelle. For Pillar it doesnt matter how good your dps is.

For Pillar it doesnt matter how good your dps is.

Exactly, You just have to spend your entire stamina bar and 10s+ bashing away on a pillar regardless of gearing, but with a claymore or you do fuck all. So you better main a calymore/klee or you're bringing in a dead character just because of this great design...

I leveled my Noelle to 70 just because she's a staple on the Geo Hypostasis fight. It doesn't make a HUGE difference but anything to speed that pillar-chopping up a little.

It doesn't make a HUGE difference

it actually doesn't make any difference other than making her not be one-shot if the boss attacks, shields (which is the type of health the pillars have) don't care about damage just what attack you're using

Klee can break pillar but much slower than Claymore Users, and Noelle with Q breaks it even faster. + if you want to go for max score then Klee is not really useful because 50% pyro resist.

Everyone has Amber and most players have Fishl, yet an incredible amount of players bitch about Oceanoid.

In a game which gates it players so hard with resin, pointing to just build a certain f2p char isnt necessarily a solution for an immediate problem

5
Play_more_FFS•

Comparing Oceanoid to the Geo boss doesn’t make any sense.

A level 1 Noelle will still get the job done as easily as a level 90/90 Noelle. How much damage Noelle (or any claymore character you bring in) means absolutely nothing for this boss.

Oceanoid still requires the characters to have some amount of investment put into them so they can actually kill the adds it spawns.

How do you dodge the little things the boss starts to shoot to you? I can't finish one pillar fast enough and they are hellish to dodge imo

Putting a lvl 1 Noelle on the party will take up space that could be used for a built character who could do damage against the actual boss.

JumpingVillage3:albedo: Razor please just come home :hutao:•

it's 4 spaces. you can just take 1 guy out and replace them with Noelle, or any claymore wielding character.

Anemo is by far the worst just because of how much waiting you have to do to damage the thing. Too much time spent gliding and twiddling your thumbs during that fight

Anemo is by far the worst just because of how much waiting you have to do to damage the thing.

There is just as much, if not more, waiting in the geo fight. Just like anemo, you have to burst completely the first time or you will fail the 120s timer. Thats how much waiting there is.

2
Scubasage:ganyu:•

There is definitely way less waiting. Geo doesn't take 30 seconds throwing cyclones around the room while invulnerable and the cyclones being so small and random that you have to try to be hit by them. Geo doesn't sit around while you have to glide around for 30 seconds to collect tons of orbs in the air. Geo doesn't waste attack cycles putting down updrafts that don't aim at you and don't hurt you just for the express purpose of doing those gliding sections.

All of Geo's "waiting" sections are times you can progress the fight by damaging pillars.

2
JumpingVillage3:albedo: Razor please just come home :hutao:•

Geo is the easiest out of all of them tbh. Electro has that wave thing where you can't damage it and the entirety of Anemo is annoyance incarnate. also, you don't need the 120s timer. i had the 500s timer and i was able to get more than the 2.9k points needed per day.

2
Scubasage:ganyu:•

I know about the timer. I did Anemo without the timer precisely because the base fight, let alone the event one, already takes an eternity

1
Deliquate•

I felt this way too. I don't mind the whirlwinds when doing the overworld anemo cube because w/e just run around for a bit but when there's a timer it feels like cheating. The game is running down the clock on me & there's nothing I can do it.

1
Scubasage:ganyu:•

Even in the overworld fight without a timer it's still the worst because it does nothing but prolong the fight for a good half, if not more, of its attacks.

1
Deliquate•

In general, i try not to complain when fights i have to repeat a ton of times are easy. Like, those whirlwinds are super easy to dodge? Ok, cool, i'll budget those extra 30 seconds and chill for a bit. I'd be way more anmoyed if they were hard and i had a chance of failing the battle, whoch i'm already sick of.

willeatbooty•

This is complaining

Kami_no_Kage•

It seems like everyone but a few people found pure geo to be easy, or at least fine, so I'm going to just complain with you. This fight is horrible. It's absolutely horrible. You're constantly being shot at, and the bullets may be easy to avoid, but they're absolutely relentless, so you have to be breaking the pillar while constantly avoiding them.

You get about 2 seconds to break the rock that shields you from the earthquake attack, and it doesn't break in just a couple of hits either. If you're not near it, tough luck buddy, you just lost 3 members of your party instantly. The Dragonspine event boss had a similar attack, but it actually gave you time to get to the shield and break it.

You break the pillar and get a chance to hit the boss, except you're still being shot at. Avoid bullet, avoid bullet, hit a couple of times, oh, vulnerable phase is already over.

All pillars get broken, and another earthquake pops out, with multiple stones to be broken around the entire arena to stop it. Good luck running to hit them all, your character's die in about 2 or 3 seconds of being hit with this.

It's one of the worst boss fights I've ever done. Ready for my downvotes and "git gud" comments.

r3n4m0n:hutao::diona:•

I don't know why people keep telling to git gud when just couple days ago people complained a lot about electro boss. It's like different people find different bosses hard.. To me electro was way easier than this shit.

Telling to get good or saying "just use noelle lul" doesn't help at all

3
Deliquate•

Seriously. After leveling Albedo I was just so sick of the fight. The #1 thing I think about it, "How to minimize the number of pillars I have to slowly wear down" & it's such a bore.

5
DumpsterChat•

I agree this is straight up not fun. The phase after you break all the pillars and your forced to take damage as you run around breaking four orbs is so dumb.

Also whenever there's a dps phase you have three pillars shooting shit at you at the same time which melts your characters hp

5
ConsolesQuiteAnnoyMe•

Yeah, uh... for the overworld one, at least, you don't need Noelle to be leveled up to bash the pillars. Just hit them, don't get her hit, and pop Sweeping Time to smash the revivial pillars.

That said this event does bite, so I won't be surprised if the event version is worse somehow.

I got 2,825 with Ning, Zhongli, Bennett, and Xiangling, then went back to the Electric Cube and got ~3,400 so that my average between the two would exceed 3K, lol.

The battle was pretty damn hard which was super refreshing.

Mattacrator•

Other stasi have their phases completely immune so i guess pillar breaking isn't that bad, but only in comparison

I kinda glad I have a lot of claymore characters...

Ready! Set! Fight pillars....Oh you wanted to actually damage the boss? lul no. Fight some more pillars.

When you judge a fight purely based on whether or not you can make a bar at the top of the screen move consistently lmao. Actual reddit moment.

reddit_alex74:klee: Boom, Boom, Lament! :xiao:•

I didn’t really have any issues with it, just took three or four attempts to get 3k points.

Could be because I was using Klee and razor tho lol

So far Geo was the challenge I had the least troubles with design wise. It has way less RNG and you can actually make and practice a strategy rather than gamble if the Stasis actually allows you to attack it this time around.

You don't need a CLaymore to be your main. My Diluc was purely there for breaking the Pillars, due to the 50% Pyro RES increase from the Challenge he didn't contribute at all to actually damaging the Hypostasis.

1
RedReisen•

You don't have to main claymore to beat this though, just bring noelle or any claymore user. I used my undergeared Chongyun to break the pillars. I'm using Jean as my main dps btw.

1
eiaelcaelestis•

Can't Noelle break them (at lvl 40) in like.. 8 sec? on average I mean. Also bows can snipe the hypo even when the pillars aren't broken yet I think.

1
kenzakki:diluc: Kieru!:xiao:•

Everyone has one Noelle at least so use her to destroy pillars and switch to DPS when boss is exposed. Anemo is by far the worst because of the tedious stalling animations.

1
r3n4m0n:hutao::diona:•

To be honest, I agree. From the previous ones I got easy 3k but this one only about 1.5k and I'm not bothering to try more.

I just hate the fact that I have to use claymore to even have chance with this boss. People say the level doesn't matter but if you actually don't want to get one shotted, you need to have higher level claymore users which is bullshit in my opinion.

Maybe I'm just a trash but this one is way harder than previous ones. Yeah, everyone has noelle but it doesn't do shit if it still takes a while to destroy pillar while the boss starts to shoot those little things that one shots me

you just don't main a claymore user. If you don't, NingGuang is your best bet, but just main a claymore user, some of the best dps are claymore(Diluc and Razor, Beidou is good for countering the sniper...)
