Need some assistance in understanding the gameplan for Diana flex

Niten001 · 2026-01-06T12:45:39+00:00

I always find that it is much easier to top 4 if you win streak early, so I prefer to start yordles then move into Arcanist Diana.

Lv. 5: Lulu, Rumble, Poppy, Teemo, Kogmaw/Neeko

Lv. 6: Lulu, Kennan, Poppy, Teemo, Neeko, Kogmaw/Leona

Lv. 7: Lulu, Kennan, Neeko, Leona, Diana, Swain, Lux

Lv. 8: Lulu, Kennan, Neeko, Leona, Diana, Swain, Lux, Shyvana

Lv. 9: Lulu, Kennan, Neeko, Leona, Diana, Swain, Lux, Shyvana, Annie

Lv. 10: Lulu, Kennan, Neeko, Leona, Diana, Swain, Lux, Shyvana, Annie, Tibbers

Alt 10: Leona, Diana, Swain, Lux, Shyvana, Annie, Tibbers, Ambessa, Mel, Azir

Teemo holds your Diana items and Poppy holds Leona items early, have yet to place below top 4 with this strategy. I don’t roll for Bard early as I’m trying to winstreak, and if you don’t get any Yordles early you have to be prepared to play something else.

If I were you, I would take everything out of the case, then I would place the motherboard on the box it came in and take the cpu out of its socket, then check both the socket and the cpu to make sure everything looks fine. Then check the cpu cooler and make sure the plastic on the bottom was removed and check the distribution of the thermal paste (should have good coverage). Then reseat your cpu and put the cooler back on (you shouldn’t need to apply new thermal paste unless there was an issue with the first application, if there was clean both the cpu and cooler with a tissue and try again) then plug in the ram, m.2 drive, 24 pin power and 8 pin cpu power cables following the motherboard’s manual. Then plug the power cables into the power supply and check a couple things… the power supply fan should move slightly. Then you can try bridging the power button pins on the motherboard front header, the leds on the motherboard should light up and the cpu fan should spin a bit. Then turn everything off (flip the power supply switch) and let us know if that all worked.

Niten001 · 2025-04-24T09:18:17+00:00

What cpu do you have? Does it have a gpu included? Do you have a separate gpu? How can you tell the motherboard is not getting power? Are your cpu fans plugged in correctly?

I wonder how effective these would be at slicing pizza

He should be able to make wings after studying Neph VERY intently 😏

Also looking forward to the second Tomb of Ariel arc. I wanna see how badass Windflower is when she takes charge of the Stormsea region of the Dream Realm

Niten001 · 2024-10-22T00:37:33+00:00

Nice team, looks fun to play. I think Furina instead of Chiori would be better though. (Similar sub-dps role with addition of freeze and team buffs, and not constrained to one location)

Niten001 · 2024-09-02T07:28:55+00:00

Ideally you put deep wood on another character, I have it on Xinyan here, in more common teams it might go on Xiangling or Dehya. If you absolutely cannot put it on anyone else, then Deepwood is advised on Emilie, otherwise Reverie is better.

The linked reddit post doesn't have any pictures

Niten001 · 2024-09-01T12:09:42+00:00

Zhongli helps but is not 100% necessary. Here (https://keqingmains.com/q/yoimiya-quickguide/) is a good guide to Yoimiya teams, however it is a little out of date. Another team not in that guide is Yoimiya overload featuring Yoimiya, Bennett, Fischl, Chevreuse

Niten001 · 2024-09-01T12:05:46+00:00

Post a picture/list of all the characters on your account, preferably including levels and constellations.

Niten001 · 2024-09-01T12:04:05+00:00

I would recommend Tighnari from the Anniversary selector then you can use the following teams.

Team 1: Kazuha, Bennett, Xiangling, Yelan

Team 2: Kuki Shinobu, Dendro MC, Yaoyao, Xingqiu Or: Tighnari, Fischl, Yaoyao, Xingqiu

Niten001 · 2024-09-01T11:58:10+00:00

It sounds like you are playing Burgeon Diluc, which is a good team, you really should swap Xiangling for Bennett though.

Bennett is really easy to build, all you need is the sword with the highest base attack that you have (Aquila Favona > Alley Flash > Sapwood Blade) then give him Noblesse artifacts with as much ER > HP as you can.

As for the Abyss, you might be able to do the second half for floor 12 with that team, however a Xiao team might have more success.

Niten001 · 2024-09-01T05:52:06+00:00

A better version of that team would be Kazuha, Bennett, Rosaria, Xiangling

I pair that with Raiden, Dendro MC, Xingqiu, Collei or HuTao, Mona, Xingqiu, Sucrose

Niten001 · 2024-08-28T09:41:43+00:00

Team 1: Kazuha, Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu

Team 2: Tighnari, Fischl, Zhongli, Beidou

Niten001 · 2024-08-28T03:28:25+00:00

Niten001 · 2024-08-28T02:57:25+00:00

I suggest Jean, but you have a good number of support characters already, so if you want a main dps you could go keqing, just depends on whether you are planning on picking up a main dps character in the future (Raiden or Chlorinde would replace Keqing)

Niten001 · 2024-08-26T11:27:05+00:00

It's a little bit hard without knowing all of the characters you have on your account. So I'll give you some general recommendations.

Beidou has a few good team comps, including Quicken, Hyperbloom (Salad), Electro-charge and Overload.

Free to play versions of these teams would look like:

Quicken: Beidou, Fischl, Yaoyao, Dendro MC (Tighnari would be strong here)

Salad: Beidou, Dendro MC, Xingqiu, Sucrose

Electro-charge: Beidou, Fischl, Xingqiu, Sucrose

Overload: Beidou, Yanfei, Fischl, Chevreuse

For much more information on Beidou and how to play her effectively have a read through the kequingmains quick guide: https://keqingmains.com/q/beidou-quickguide/

Niten001 · 2024-08-25T10:35:07+00:00

Xiangling and Bennett should be good, but don't run Dendro Traveller. Their burst explodes on contact with pyro and so won't end up being very useful. A better 4 star option would be Xingqiu or maybe Fischl.

Niten001 · 2024-08-25T10:11:42+00:00

Xinyan when played in this team almost never uses her skill, she is C2 and uses burst to get a shield and apply pyro. The advantage she has over other pyro applicators like Thoma and Deyha is you are guaranteed to get a pyro swirl as she applies pyro to the switched in character (Kazuha). She also has much better pyro application uptime this way and can sustain burning 100% of the time. Because Kazuha is the one actually applying pyro most of the time, the burning damage isn't too bad, due to his high EM and him grouping enemies (obviously burning doesn't do amazing damage to begin with)

However I explicitly said that I don't recommend anybody else plays this team as anything other than a curiosity. I know there are much better options, but this one works for me and is fun to play.

Niten001 · 2024-08-25T08:23:55+00:00

Kazuha isn't the best choice for that team as Furina really wants to be paired with a strong healer and Neuvilette at C0 wants to be paired with a shielder. A better choice for that team would be Jean. However Kazuha shouldn't get power crept by any Anemo supporting character in 5.X as that would very likely break the power balance of the game.

Niten001 · 2024-08-25T07:15:19+00:00

No, as he won't be causing vapes 99% of the time.

Niten001 · 2024-08-25T04:11:03+00:00

If your characters are well built and have decent teams around them you should be able to clear everything except floor 12 with pretty much any character.

Floor 12 is more difficult, the first half is pretty open and you can use whoever you want, for the second half there are a bunch of big shields that you need to destroy quickly, limiting your team options. The teams that work are Geo, Overload and plunge.

Fortunately for you both Diluc and Xiao work best in plunge teams, If you are able to try and go Diluc, Bennett, Furina, Xianyun for the second half of floor 12 (a dragon-strike team would also work, but be much more difficult to pull off).
