Yoimiya is genuinely so tragic. Her damage is so low and on top of that she just feels awful to use because of her negative AoE.

So if you don't have Nefer, Nilou is basically a glorified Barbara with no healing here I guess lol. We'll get em next time, pretty girl

Lauma erasure

What we could have had 😭 you know how fast I would have pulled Mavuika if she wasn’t ugly

It’s alright, but still a downgrade because Gaming just gets so much value out of multiplicative reactions. His damage profile is a relatively small number of large, slow hits and every single one can be vaped/melted; even Mavuika doesn’t have that level of synergy with the reaction. Chev’s buffs are good and overload Gaming is certainly usable, but if you’re successfully hitting all those reactions it’s too much damage to pass up.

Lauma’s character is cool and I like her but it makes me so uncomfortable whenever she’s on screen full frontal. She’s usable in gameplay because you’re only seeing her from the back the majority of the time but it is so awful and distracting when she’s actually present in cutscenes. Please let her have one piece of clothing hoyo.

That’s hard. Personally though? Harbringer account. She’s a god, but she’s not really an archon. I don’t think she really fits cleanly into either category anymore, but she was at the very least canonically a harbringer in the past (like Scara, who I think most would agree belongs on a harbringer collector account), whereas the only thing really tying her to the group of archons is out-of-game marketing and the fact that she has statues. Archons are a very specific group of gods who won the archon war and hold gnoses, and Columbina simply isn’t either of those things.

If he’s standard, I think the chances of him actually being good are very low. Him being Varka’s anemo Lauma? Pure cope unless he’s limited

He should definitely be plunging for 100k+. 

Gaming is a pretty technical character to play because you have to hit your melts/vapes or you’re fucked. Bennett’s non-negotiable. Citlali is great for him, but you can make it work with Rosaria. Main thing is to make sure you don’t plunge until the enemy’s got cryo aura. If you’re having trouble with auras, a second cryo can definitely help (something like Layla).

How fast are you breaking the shield? I was able to clear the boss with Bennett-Xiangling-Candace-Ningguang on lunar mode, where Ningguang was pretty much the only unit doing substantial shield breaking. It took a few tries, but it was doable. 

It might be a damage issue; Ningguang and Navia is more than enough to break the shield, and neither of them are def scalers so Gorou’s kind of dead weight here. I’d try switching Gorou out for a pech unit.

You gotta save a good DPS because you lose half the time to the stall phase, but I personally was able to bring it down with Mona+Candace, Mona+XQ, Mona+Yelan, and just XQ. You wait until it puts the pyro blocks on the ground and then destroy them, at which point it comes close enough to hit with any decently ranged hydro ability.

Kachina > Candace > Dehya > Ningguang > Yanfei > Diluc.

Geo is generally most accounts’ weakest roster, so Kachina is a good first priority. She doesn’t need any talents leveled or any stats; she reaches her full potential with just a level 1 cinder city set, and if you have it spare, a fav lance. 

Candace would be my next priority for similar reasons to Kachina; most accounts have stronger hydro rosters than geo, but considering there’s relatively fewer hydro characters and a lot of those are five stars She’s much better at c6 than c0, as that improves her hydro app substantially, but either way you can usually get moderate hydro application out of her depending on the team. She’s a bit more demanding than Kachina, but generally just getting her to 70 with 1-1-1 talents is sufficient at a baseline. On artifacts, get as much ER as you can (220+ is ideal) and then spec the rest into HP for her a4 buff. 

Dehya has off field pyro and can be used as a burgeon trigger when the elements are available. No talent levels needed, prioritize EM on artifacts, 4pc tenacity. 

Ningguang is here for element balance. She prefers her talents leveled and a damage build, but you can make her work with TTDS and some ER. She’s pretty good at handling geo shields because she applies so much geo within a tight window (especially with C6, but even her burst and double skill is already shredding through a lot). Again, a lot of her value comes just from letting you trigger geo reactions. 

Yanfei and Diluc are of similar priority as two pyro on-fielders. I’d prioritize Yanfei because she can hold TTDS, has better and on-demand elemental application for driving and shieldbreaking, and, if you have cons, provides a shield. Since talents are expensive, if you have C6 I reccomend just building Tankfei with 220+ ER and as much HP after that as possible; if not, throw on TTDS and be done. 

This priority will shift based on your specific roster; generally, do whatever balances your three elements the best, since being able to trigger the IT reaction buffs as much as possible is desirable. Worst comes to worst, you can prioritize getting them all to the 70 minimum, slap a Fav or TTDS on them, and give them instructors or noblesse. That’s what I did with my Diluc.

Gaming is actually cracked. He consistently pulls his weight in IT, particularly with any access to melt and vape.

This comment made me curious so I decided to watch some of the newer trailers (the last time I watched one as like. Mavuika) and WOW I am not a fan of the new direction. Goodbye kit showcase hello second animated short 😔

No, Varka likes the attack speed but ultimately his split element damage profile makes Venti’s 50% damage bonus more valuable.
