Strategic Preparation Guide
Maximize your version 5.7 experience with these strategic preparation techniques. Complete all ongoing activities and claim outstanding rewards at least one hour before maintenance begins to prevent loss of progress. Optimize your resin usage by ensuring your reserve is near maximum capacity before servers go offline, allowing immediate farming of new domains and bosses post-update.
Common pitfalls to avoid: Don’t initiate lengthy activities like domain runs or boss fights immediately before maintenance. Avoid leaving your Primogems and Intertwined Fates uncounted—track your wishing resources beforehand. Never attempt to log in during maintenance periods as this may cause connection issues when servers return online.
Advanced optimization strategies include pre-farming character ascension materials based on leaked information (when available), organizing your artifact inventory to make space for new sets, and planning your team compositions around the new characters’ synergies. Experienced players should consider preparing multiple team variants to quickly adapt to new content challenges.
Server access typically resumes within 15-30 minutes after the scheduled maintenance completion time, though occasional delays may occur during major updates. Monitor official HoYoverse social media channels for real-time maintenance status updates and any unexpected extensions.
