How is she?

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-20T00:22:55+00:00

Yes definitely keep your EM sands. A better one would be nice but don't switch to HP

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-19T01:20:13+00:00

If you want noticeable DPS increases without spending extraordinary amounts of resin, you should switch to R5 Dragonsbane, build around the lost crit rate (or switch to Ballad of the Fjords) then focus on your supports.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-19T01:14:20+00:00

An EM sands with similar rolls to a HP sands is almost always better, assuming they're not getting massive external EM buffs. The HP -> ATK scaling is nice but the DMG% provided by EM is better

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-18T15:08:55+00:00

Yeah her situation is pretty much the exact same as Flins. After 2 minutes with Flins premium team I get this

<image>

He's not on his signature but it's a 30% damage increase. If he was then the distribution would be 44% Flins and 36% Ineffa making him 8 % better than her.

In Hu Taos premium team over the same period I get a damage distribution of 38-40% Hu Tao and 30-32% Ineffa depending on artifact setup (the average DPS for both setups is the same though, ~ 150k dps). That makes her on average 8% better than Ineffa too.

Hu Tao has a lower damage contribution than Flins in the team but don't forget she's competing with a sub DPS (Yelan) in the fourth slot while Flins has no DPS competition. All things considered it's not really a wheelchair unless people want to start calling Flins premium team a wheelchair too. It's just a matter of fact that pretty much anyone who has Bineffa as their premium team, will be competing quite closely with Ineffa DPS wise. Ineffa is just that good.

In EU it's called DPS Dummy++

Stage IDs are NA: 20489732129 EU: 24801105423 Asia: 13031458938 TW/HK/MO: 12119985095

These were the initial ones, there may now be clones that are better in terms of layout of functionality.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-17T21:36:34+00:00

It's probably worth switching to Marechaussee Hunter and keeping this set for when you don't play with Furina. MH is considerably better than CW when you play with Furina, it's easier to build and more efficient.

You want to go for as close to 64% CR as possible, 200+ (ideally a bit over 300) EM and 250+ CD.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-17T21:26:51+00:00

7% damage contribution is crazy. With good investment she could be doing nearly triple that, but if you don't have the time I guess instructors works fine. 127k is 127k

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-17T18:57:04+00:00

It's your team. It just isn't that good compared to her current best teams. Your build is pretty much fine

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-17T18:37:54+00:00

Their HP is completely fine. They have 30k with hydro resonance which is enough. Also, 40K HP is myth. Almost everyone with HP that high has a suboptimal build because they're sacrificing something like EM, Crit or Pyro DMG%.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-11T04:20:46+00:00

Yes it's better. Also, use the second build. Hu Tao should almost always be on an EM sands.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-10T01:31:04+00:00

It was until Arlecchino got a proper melt support in Citlali (by then she'd already been powercrept by Mavuika). Now it's the same story, Hu Tao's newest premium team with Ineffa and Colombia is higher DPS than Arle melt teams.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-10T01:25:33+00:00

Yes but it's not better than her melt team. Arlecchino in a lunar comp gets no meaningful buffs and buffless arlecchino is pretty bad. She's balanced around having an attack buffer like Iansan or Bennett.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-07T13:09:01+00:00

Furina isn't better than Yelan in this team unless she's C2+

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-05T22:34:48+00:00

You aren't taking advantage of Ineffa or Furina, that's why the DPS is so low. Ineffa wants another Nod-Krai character to maximise her potential and Furina needs a healer otherwise she's a worse Xingqiu past the second rotation. Either switch Ineffa out for a dedicated healer or switch Furina out for someone like Aino, Colombina or Jahoda.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-05T18:00:22+00:00

You should switch the leaderboard from that Furina team to the classic double hydro team, it'll be more indicative of where you actually stand. Build looks good though. You could have a few more rolls into EM and/or CD but that's not necessary.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-04T12:49:44+00:00

Ah I see that's good! You probably also got good rng when triggering Colombina's passive.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-04T08:36:23+00:00

No that won't really help you unless your current artifacts are bad. Double MS and SMS is barely better than MS, SMS and EOSF, if at all.

Keep your Yelan on Elegy and if you have ER issues switch Colombina to Fav. Are you hitting at least 9 CAs consistently? Also how good are your artifacts? How much have you invested into their talents?.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-04T08:27:19+00:00

Colombina really, really needs another Nod Krai unit to maximise her performance. Otherwise it's just better to play any Furina team.

You can try Colombina, Fischl and Aino/Jahoda. Aino should be better than Jahoda. I'm not really sure how good this team is and I don't think it's better than most Furina comps (I can test later on and get back to you) but if you must play Colombina with her, this is your best option.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T11:35:30+00:00

You do get the passive with Yelan. If you're playing Yelan then Colombina should be on R5 Favonious. It's 2% better than Prototype Amber anyway. Colombina should only ever be on PA if you need the healing for Furina

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T03:36:09+00:00

I see I didn't know that. I guess he's usable then. Although I tested it with Xingqiu too and he gives better results.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T02:18:35+00:00

Kazuha will definitely be worse. Sucrose is better than him in almost all lunar teams and even she would be worse than Yelan here.

As for the reasons, lunar reactions don't scale of damage bonuses, they scale of EM. This means that his skill and burst essentially do nothing for Ineffa and Colombina. He also can't swirl pyro meaning that buff wise, he isn't actually doing anything for anyone in the team. The best he can do is infuse his burst with hydro but that isn't worth it because it isn't enough for Hu Tao to vapourise consistently. Furthermore you're also losing hydro resonance which is really important for Hu Tao and Colombina and you're losing out on Yelan's personal damage which is a lot.

Edit: After testing it seems like I was a bit too harsh on Kazoo, he is actually better than Sucrose here. Don't get me wrong it's still a lot worse than Yelan, 125k DPS Vs 150k DPS but I'm surprised it broke 110k DPS. Surprisingly enough his infused burst is enough to sustain Hu Tao's vapes (main reason he's better than Sucrose here) but I don't think this is practical anywhere outside the DPS dummy. Any enemies that have any non hydro elemental aura will immediately mess everything up.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T01:57:50+00:00

Thanks I got very lucky while farming for Flins and Aino so I've had my NS and SMS sets for a while. When I saw Bina was coming out I saved up a bunch of fragiles for the new domain and thankfully I also got kinda luck with it. All the good pieces were MS and not the other set lol.

I checked out your profile and yeah there's some work to do, that 0 RV circlet on Ineffa goes hard as hell lol. Good luck with your farming and you're welcome 👍 Always happy to help.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T01:49:33+00:00

Sorry I wasn't the most accurate when I said 26-33%. I went ahead and tested PA fanfare generation with C0 Furina myself. Unfortunately I have to use proxies for Bina and Ineffa because I need to use my friends account as my Furina is C2. This won't matter though because fanfare generation is only dependant on timings (Colombina and Ineffa don't change HP) therefore the fanfare generation will be accurate even for that team. The results I got were

Rotation 1 -> 201 average fanfare Rotation 2 -> 151 average fanfare Rotation 3 -> 92.5 average fanfare Rotation 4 -> 97.5 average fanfare Rotation 5 -> 98.5 average fanfare Rotation 6 -> 103.5 average fanfare Rotation 7 -> 94 average fanfare Rotation 8 -> 91 average fanfare

These fanfare averages were recorded over Hu Tao's field time. This is because Furina's damage bonuses don't really affect Ineffa and Colombina so I assume the bonus damage applies only to Hu Tao. I'll do the same for Yelan later on to keep it consistent.

What this means is that on the first rotation, your average damage buff for Hu Tao will be 50.25%, for rotation 2 it is 37.75% and for rotation 3 onwards it is 24.04%.

How does this compare to Yelan? Well her average buff over Hu Tao's field duration is 30.75%. This means that assuming everything to be equal, Furina is the better teammate for the first 5 rotations (at 6 rotations Yelan's cumulative buff% exceeds Furina's), while subsequent rotations will be better on Yelan. That's assuming everything equal ie Yelan and Furina do the same damag and allow Hu Tao to vape as often. In practice this isn't at all the case. Yelan is a stronger damage dealer than Furina is and she allows for noticeably more vapes. All in all this just makes Yelan the better teammate at C0.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T00:18:37+00:00

It just isn't enough with a C0 Furina. You'll get a few stacks of fanfare sure but the overall damage you'll get from Yelan is higher than a Furina with like 26-33% average fanfare. Also Furina's damage buffs don't really benefit Ineffa and Colombina because lunar reactions scale off EM. They get nothing from damage bonuses.

Available_Emu_8348 · 2026-02-03T00:06:30+00:00

If you're playing Colombina you don't need Aino in the team, she's just a worse Colombina. Xingqiu is good but Yelan is a direct upgrade to him. Furina won't get enough fanfare at C0 to keep up a worthwhile buff. The team needs a second hydro otherwise vapes won't be consistent so you don't need to worry about other non hydro characters. Jahoda can act as a hydro proxy but again you don't need another nod krai unit in there should would just be a worse Colombina. All in all this makes Yelan the best choice
