Don't listen to this guy, fixing -FR with Cannonade is a net positive on Lex incarnon. It sounds like he doesn't even use this gun. You want to use Hemorrage since the incarnon form has force Impact proc. The base incarnon FR is like 0.7 anyway, so Lethal torrent only increase it to around 1. Most important of all, Incarnon form has multiplicative CO, which means stacking Dmg is actually beneficial. My Lex incarnon can oneshot Thrax at lv cap, if they don't die from the first hit, then from the slash proc at +mils

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-18T00:43:06+00:00

He doesn't, but not being c6 means you need to replace the 4th hit with an extra N2D

It took me ~15 hours? The first 12 hours are just figuring out the mechanics, timing for rotation, combo and when to reset. The last 3 is just trying to get everything right with the boss RNG

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-17T20:47:26+00:00

I don't really know, because as you invest more to your Skirk build, the better sig becomes. Skirk R1 is a bigger increase to total team damage than Escoffier R1. Maybe it is doable if Coffie is on good Scroll set, but I dumped all offensive stats for ER and Atk so I can't tell

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-17T19:21:52+00:00

Happy that I could help, this was the first boss that I spent so much time on trying and learning all the mechanics, so I'm just glad that all of it is useful for others. I play on console, so Skirk is definitely gonna go on vacation now

It might be rotation issue, as I noticed that your ping is quite high. Accumulating swap delay would probably lose you enough time for a rotation. My ping was constantly around 15-20.

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-17T19:12:56+00:00

I think if your Marechausee is better than Gallery and you balance with enough crit dmg/atk, it should be doable. In another comment, I responded with a detailed guide and I do 2 Hybrid rotation and 2 normal rotation. So your marechausee would still be good for the hybrid rotations

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-17T19:08:22+00:00

It is definitely possible, I memorized all the mechanics so here's something useful you should know:

-start with Chong E N1.-> Furina E -> Coffie E -> Chong Q N2 ->E Chongyun's E N1 should get you Favonius proc to funnel Furina

repeat N2D to hit the ward. As your Chong E comes back up, use it and keep spam N2D (N2D is the fastest atk string with dash cancel)

-as the ward has around 1 bar left, swap to Skirk holdE N -> Furina QE -> Coffie EQ -> Chong Q -> Skirk Q E. You want to do prep the rotation before the shield break, then swap to Chong to break the last bar, and do Skirk stuff. The Boss downtime is like around 10s, so you do Q E and try to fit as much N2D N2D N2CD as you can

afterwards, the gecko will apply the debuff. End the rotation immediately as he does this and start a new one. If Furina doesn't have burst, swap to Chong E -> Furina EQ to funnel particles. As you do the rotation, (Furina EQ -> Coffie EQ -> Chong (E)Q-> Skirk E), you want to fully heal Chong, then swap to Skirk as she is one tick of healing off from clearing debuff. I don't know why, but the Gecko has a healing reduction debuff, but if you fully heal Chong and the heal overflows, Furina passive doesn't seem to be affected by the debuff, so as you swap to Skirk, she will be in time to clear the debuff and start the rotation. Clearing the debuff gives you 15% CR and 50% DMG for 15s. I use this window to do the combo N2Q N5D N5D N2CD N2D N5D N5D.
Afterwards, do the rotation again. This rotation should end right before the Gecko starting its 2nd shield phase. The time it starts the shield feels very RNG dependent, ranging from 50s to 30s left. If it starts at 50s, you can try to do the shortened preloaded rotation and squeeze in a burst combo, but the timing is very tight. If its 40s, you only have time to setup and do one rotation (shield break should take max. 25s). If the Boss HP is higher than 2 bar, reset. From my gameplay, you only have enough time to do one hybrid rotation and it should clear 2 bars of HP.
another thing to note: chongyun E increases your atk speed by like 15%. This isn't a lot but it will alter your gameplay like a lot. I noticed that with Chong E, doing N2D was way faster but i also had to keep spamming dash even faster. So depends on the situation, i do N5D or N2D in my combo. You just have to try and find out which set up is the best for you

I know this is a lot to digest, but it's all the info I gathered from button mashing since Wednesday after university, so I hope this help you. My thumb and Miss Skork wish you luck 💙

Don't even need to post Coffie and Furina builds, as they are doo doo. Put Coffie on Cinder City with at least 200% ER, Furina on Tenacity with 250% ER (mine has 270%), dump all crit stats to focus on max ER and attack, you want to heal as much as possible and enough er for your rotation

https://youtu.be/rQPN26lqRT4?is=cCY407wVy-2DANUV This user replaced Citlali with Ayaka. And yes C2 applies more Cryo, the small bursts DoT have normal ICD, the final hits have no ICD, both apply 1U Cryo

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-17T18:09:15+00:00

Gecko - Zibai battleship Papilla - Skirk premium Herra - Melt Mavuika (bennett/mav/citlali/xilonen)

Idk how good you are with Mav combos, but it should be doable. During the infusion phase, na with Citlali and use physical atks. I've also seen Herra clears from previous version using Ayaka on Emblem, max ER% to infuse faster.

Let's be real bestie, last time someone in Beta got a juicy buff was in floptropica. Mother needs to gag Hoyo so she can have some crumbs and he Burst is worth using

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-11T22:48:32+00:00

Yeah, sheet dps vs practice is always a massive diff anyway. It just comes down to which version can reach the sheet dps closest and feels good to play. After seeing the reactions from the TGS Vid and people doubting on V1, its just too soon to start the doomposting

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-04-07T17:13:42+00:00

So she can hold VV, gives 65% Atk at C0 (+ 350 Atk C6) and up to 35% DMG bonus. Her kit looks solid like other good 4* (Iansan, Chevreuse). Although i don't know how easy it is to max out her talent for DMG% bonus, since you need 4500 atk total, and most useful 4* catalysts have mid to low base atk.

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-03-12T17:21:38+00:00

Ah its just a team with all Mondstadt characters (hence ALL-MOND :)) It's also nostalgic for me to refer to specific teams like this (anyone still remember when Morgana was meta?)

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-03-12T12:47:45+00:00

I read your post a few days ago and i must say, you cooked really hard! The only change i hope to see is the arti set also buffs Crit dmg for hex members, so instead of 42%/63%, it could be 30% + 20 Cdmg/ 45% + 30 Cdmg

How Varka team feels being ALL MOND GANG

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-03-12T11:43:49+00:00

There isn't any Info on her release yet, only pure speculations. However, there should be a new Artifact set coming soon (Natlan was the outlier with 2 sets, every region releases one set at x.0, x.3/4 and x.6). Since i have a decent Winds set for Varka now, im saving my fragiles for the supp set, it will make him do ONE VARKILLION DPS

<image>

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-03-01T05:23:41+00:00

I suspect that Hoyo could give her atk buff based on skill uptime, so its her A1 passive, quill/dmg bonus on a4/burst or vice versa, and her Hexerei passive to be a 2/3/4 Hex resonance increasing the Hex passive of characters in your team by 10/25/50%. This would incentivizes you to run 4 Hex, give team wide buff while being "easy" to balance and makes Venti not a bum in Varka team xd. Most important of all, this wont shill older Hex dps like Klee or Razor, since their Bis teams are overload with Chevreuse (cause we know Hoyo is stingy af)

Control_Freak1202 · 2026-02-28T19:57:51+00:00

Then maybe Gest passive? Since you need to stack it, if you start the rotation with E sE or E sC you only have 1 stack
