The only downside is that Kokomi is yet another 5-star character who can, in turn, be difficult to obtain. The positive aspect is that she has a fantastic 4-star F2P (free-to-play) alternative: Barbara, from the Mondstadt region. The charismatic idol from the Favonius Church is a useful healer in Genshin Impact and, as a catalyst user (like Kokomi herself), can easily apply Hydro on opponents. Furthermore, her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst act in an AoE, which is excellent for Hydro application. This is the best team comp for Shenhe in Genshin Impact , but she can work well without Cryo or Freeze being the fo
As mentioned previously, Shenhe is a support character. In Genshin Impact team comps, Shenhe acts as a damage buffer and a Cryo enabler/Resonance hero. Her Elemental Skill, Spring Spirit Summoning , deals Cryo DMG, which is great for enabling these reactions, from Freeze to Superconduct, or simply applying the element. The Elemental Skill also creates an Icy Quill for the team. This buff is how Shenhe significantly improves Genshin Impact Cryo teams : Icy Quill sees that the team’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Operation Downpour Simulation Elemental Bursts that deal Cryo DMG will deal increased DMG based on Shenhe’s ATK s
Despite his flexibility in a team, both of Mika’s character builds are quite easy to achieve. Even the ruthless Artifact grinding in Genshin Impact may not be as tricky as it is for damage-dealing characters. Mika is suitable as both a healer and a buffer, so the choice of how to use him in **Genshin Impact ** ultimately comes down to player prefere
For __ Mika’s buffer build, the recommendation is to go with four pieces of the Noblesse Oblige set . While its two-piece bonus, which grants a 20% Elemental Burst DMG boost, isn’t quite useful as the four-piece bonus is. It grants all teammates a 20% ATK bonus for 12 seconds after using an Elemental Burst. This adds up to Mika’s ability in Genshin Impact to boost the team’s damage output, so it fits in perfec
Ganyu is a great source of damage, especially when it comes to Cryo, and fits in quite well despite being more focused on Charged ranged attacks. For a sub-DPS in Shenhe’s Freeze team comp in Genshin Impact , Game8 recommends Kaedehara Kazuha, the 5-star Anemo swordsman from Inazuma. Both his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst are fantastic for Swirling elements together and triggering reactions. He can help with the desired Freeze reaction and put enemies’ elements into the Swirl. On top of that, he can help gather opponents and absorb an element into his Bu
**Genshin Impact ** ’s many characters can be quite overwhelming due to their various abilities and how they operate on the field. There are, however, a few heroes in developer HoYoverse’s RPG that are so powerful and versatile that they fit into most team compositions. This makes them must-haves for any player – even if they are 5-star characters. Of course, they will not fit into team comps in which their Element does not react or play an important role, but most of them can grant an advantage on the fi
Ecco the Dolphin was one of the earliest examples of a game designed almost entirely just for vibing out.

However, that said, the one constant in the series has been every games’ save room music being the one thing that might make you feel safe. Whether it is the first game’s reprieves from the tight hall of the mansion, RE 4’s shacks of safety, or Resident Evil 2 Remake’s police station safe havens, all the save rooms have music that will help you relax, if only for a min
Regardless of the role, the young member of the Knights of Favonius uses a polearm in combat. Due to the weapon type’s vast availability, there are many weapon substitutes that Genshin Impact ’s Mika can employ. Mika does follow a weapon trend in Genshin Impact , wielding an alternative tool for fighting: a crossbow. This, however, does not influence how he plays out and is simply an aesthetic design since its damage output is calculated based on his normal stats, including the ones brought in by the equipped polearm. Luckily, Mika can equip many different weapons, from 5-stars to F2P (free-to-play) opti
As such, the best immediate 5-star weapon substitute for Mika in Genshin Impact is Skyward Spine. The polearm has a higher base attack stat (674 at level 90) than Engulfing Lightning (608 at level 90), at the cost of its Energy Recharge sub-stat (36.8% at level 90). Despite its lower Energy Recharge rate, it is still an excellent weapon for Mika to use in his healer build. This gains even more traction when considering it can be obtained through the standard banner, as well as through unlucky 50/50 pulls in the weapon banner. Because of its wider availability, Skyward Spine is a solid cho
