It was fun before they patched out the shatter bug, now its just boring and painstakingly slow to play.
(Chongyun + Cryo spam allowed you to kill enemies directly)
The fact that you can get all of the rewards but you need to do some serious grinding with a serious time commitment to a very slow minigame is annoying.
Electro Node + Hydro Node is the only decent combo, so far.
Electro Node is the best node due to fast fire rate, never missing and Electro's reactions are OP in this event.
Hydro Node is ok but it becomes great with Electro Node due Hydro's constant AOE application, however bubbling enemies is iffy due to missing.
Anemo Node is meh because blowback is just delaying the inevitable.
Pyro Node is inconsistent due to missing ALL. THE. TIME. The damage is ridiculous but its fire rate is so slow.
Cryo Node is pointless as it deals so little damage and the speed debuff is pointless.
The other Node is a waste unless you want to spam the best Arts.
Sucrose, Anemo MC and Jean are MVP, crowd control.
Geo MC and Zhongli are runners up, traffic control.
Ganyu is a good support due to her fast stunlocking with headshots.
Kaeya has decent Cryo spam for Hydro Nodes.
Other than that, its hard to game the event...
It was rushed. The game occasionally loads in Chinese on every prompt and then spazzes out while reapplying the language you chose. miHoYo must've spent all of their time on fixing Hu Tao and making the TD minigame.
Meh, more Honkai levels of tear jerking.
The amount of gems we are getting is decent and the free fates are coo', but overall its blander than Dragonspine which I personally find amusing.
Overall, its 7.8/10 too much
water grinding for a slow paced event.
Priority Rate for Stand By Me:
1) Xingqiu is the best character offered, even at C0.
2) Xiangling is good at C1 (you already got a free copy), but if you don't have Xingqiu, get him instead.
3) Chongyun is ridiculous but is very restrictive in team building, cryo spam.
4) Ninguang is 5* level at C2, so only get her if you have her at C1.
5) Beidou has the highest theoretical damage output in the game but it relies on Korean Starcraft player level reflexes, a lot of setup and C6.
6) Xinyan is worse than Amber, avoid her like the plague.
You can only pick one, so choose depending on what you have/need.
