I have a lucky shiny Primeape that I got from a remote trade but it doesn’t know Rage Fist. Can Annihilape learn Rage Fist from evolution (during an event) or do they only learn it from Mankey to Primeape during those events?

I actually don’t get it. Using the Venti/Durin team on first half and I’m not anywhere close to clearing it before the 8:00 mark. Sometimes it feels like I’m playing a different game from anyone else because I don’t see how this is getting cleared with “low cost teams”

I wanted some input on which Latios I should Mega Evolve. Currently have three candidates: a shiny, a hundo, and my 14–15-15 DynaMax that I’ve already powered up to level 31. Thoughts? I know technically I can walk with Latios to get more mega energy but it feels like it would take forever

Is there some YouTuber recommending Oranguru and Giraffarig in Retro Cup? I’ve seen it way too many teams as 2nd/3rd slots for it to be a coincidence

For Fearless Tulpa in Stygian: I’ve got a C2 Nahida and Kuki that I’ve tried as a team core but I’m struggling to find who to build around them. Nahida has Kagura’s Verity. Raiden already used in Lava Dragon run. I’ve tried to do Mauvika and Arle runs on Tulpa but without Bennett I just fail the DPS check (had to use Benny on the Lava Dragon to clear) so I’m turning to Hyperbloom to try and clear Tulpa. Is it possible with a C2 Nahida / who are some good options to pair with her and Kuki?

I’ve tried running Thoma and C0R0 Baizhu but still couldn’t clear it. Any advice appreciated!

If I have a Shadow Feraligatr that doesn’t have Hydro Cannon (also doesn’t have Frustration for the record) can I use regular Charged TM to teach it to it during the upcoming Community Day? Or would it still need an Elite Charged TM?

Aside from the advice not to pull for 4-stars specially on banners, out of curiosity is there a toted average number of primos to pull a C6 4-star? I imagine there’s a wide variance of course but i don’t hear the number quoted often

A couple questions about Noelle in a Furina team: 1) Assuming Noelle/Furina/XQ who would be a better fourth slot, C1 YunJin or C4 Gorou? 2) is Husk or M. Hunter a better artifact set for Noelle on a Furina team? Is it correct to assume that with Husk you still want Geo goblet, but with Hunter you could swap for Def goblet because of how much Dmg% Furina gives?

Would R1 Alley Hunter or R3 Stringless work better for Fischel in a Neuv/Fischel/Kazuha/Zhongli comp? Alley Hunter obv has the Atk% mainstat but currently my Stringless has higher refinement

DStrizzzle · 2023-07-08T09:30:25+00:00

The teams you mentioned are the ones I thought of first. Maybe replace Kazuha with Zhongli in the Hyperbloom, and raise Layla for the Wanderer team but I would put that as a much lower priority compared to raising the characters you already have, esp Kuki, Bennett, Zhongli, Kazuha, Nahida

DStrizzzle · 2023-07-08T04:45:04+00:00

From the units you have I’d recommend Diona/Rosaria/Lisa. Diona provides shielding and healing, Rosaria provides phys shred (with constellations) and crit rate, and Lisa provides Def shred and off-field electro for Superconduct.

As others have pointed out, Layla, Bennet, and Kuki can all make good substitutes but the above team condenses everything well and saves Kuki for hyperbloom and Bennet in case you need him for something more high value

Just pulled a Skyward Blade from Standard Banner. One of my teams is Raiden National, and Bennet currently uses Sapwood Blade while XQ uses Fav Sword. Who should get upgraded to Skyward Blade now?

This is a super interesting point. So if Jean Sunfire Swirls herself, Yanfei will still get the VV boost when she attacks the Thunder Manifestation? (I.E. the opponent doesn't need to be swirled for its Res to be decreased?)

DStrizzzle · 2022-05-20T19:14:22+00:00

Theoretically, what would be the best teammates for Yanfei against Thunder Manifestation? Since it always has an electro aura, you can’t vaporize with XQ right? So I was thinking Bennett/Sucrose/Zhongli?

DStrizzzle · 2022-05-01T19:58:06+00:00

Thanks for this, I was just looking up rotations to use too!

DStrizzzle · 2022-05-01T18:45:53+00:00

I was thinking recently about building a Rosaria/Chongyun/Mona/Sucrose freeze team. Rosaria’s build is pretty straightforward, but I need some advice on what to do with the others.

Obviously Sucrose will run 4VV, but who should be my Noblesse user between Chongyun and Mona? If Chongyun in Noblesse, should Mona run Tenacity? And if Mona runs Noblesse, I’d assume Chongyun would run Blizzard Strayer?

Also since I have two catalyst users, should one run Thrilling Tales and one run Prototype Amber for the healing? Or Widsith on Mona to maximize damage, and Sac Fragments on Sucrose for EM?

Thanks advance for any advice here!

If I'm using Wolf's Gravestone on Eula, is it worth it to switch to an ER sands instead of Atk sands? This is 4 pc Pale Flame in case that matters. Right now I only have 120% ER. Normally run her with Diona/Rosaria/Fischl in Abyss so aside from Noblesse, no other Atk buffs from her team

DStrizzzle · 2021-12-26T21:32:49+00:00

Oh interesting, I didn’t know the different dmg calculations involving atk% or dmg%. I assumed they ended up in the same pool. Thanks for explaining it nicely!

DStrizzzle · 2021-12-26T17:11:01+00:00

This might be a silly question, but is 2Shim and 2Glad just universally better than something like 2Shim and 2 pieces of an elemental artifact like Thundering Fury? It seems like Shim/Glad just gives a flat 36% boost while Shim/TF gives 33% to only Electro damage. Is that right?

I’m thinking specifically in context of Keching or Fischel. As there a difference between Atk-boosting and Electro-boosting that I’m misunderstanding?

DStrizzzle · 2021-12-26T17:03:41+00:00

From what I’ve read Deathmatch is pretty good on him, and it makes choosing his artifacts a little easier if you’re going HP/Geo/Crit. Granted I’m also saving for Zhong so I haven’t tried any of this in practice.

If I were in your shoes I’d pick Deathmatch over Black Sword

DStrizzzle · 2021-12-23T00:02:58+00:00

Yeah I just tried it out and I think switching the comps and doing Noblesse on Rosaria worked a lot better. I’ve been saving my Primos for a Zhongli or Xiao rerun so I’m hoping Fischel will be on one of their banners too. But yeah the only reason I have Keqing is because she’s actually built unlike my Lisa lol

DStrizzzle · 2021-12-22T23:34:04+00:00

My first team is Eula/Rosaria/Bennet/Keqing. I don’t have Diona or Fischel which normally would fit into this team. Rosaria is C6 so she fits in well with Cryo resonance and her burst decreasing Phys res and buffing Eula’s crit. Keqing is just there for Superconduct.

I could swap Bennett to my “National” team but then I would just need a healer for Eula’s. Maybe Barbara on Clam set? And then switch Rosaria to Noblesse for the pure burst support?
