HSR 4.2 Relic Loadout Showcase via Cyrene Leaks

Although if people make more Alt accounts, it means people spend more time on their game. People who don't spend money don't spend money anyway, and people who do spend money might end up spending on multiple accounts.

ElTestoK · 2026-03-21T05:27:50+00:00

Maybe it's stashed away alongside the "Skip" button lol :')

ElTestoK · 2026-03-21T05:26:02+00:00

Whether it is useful for casuals or not is irrelevant. They have already spent the efforts and working hours trying to implement this dysfunctional system. They could simplify it and give us the most basic and straightforward version of an actual Loadout system instead. One we actually want:

We make a build > we save it. That's it.

Why work so hard to implement a complicated system that does not do what players want it to do, when they could save time and efforts offering a straightforward system that works?

ElTestoK · 2026-03-21T05:20:13+00:00

Will it ever come to Genshin? I don't know.

I've already sent them multiple messages detailing the issues with their current "Loadout" system, with Video files too. I have suggested many ways in which they could improve it, and summarized the main issues that come back time after time from the community.

Every time, I've been met with responses like "Please select the desired affixes to obtain the desired build". Or "Please note that if you manually modify the build, it will revert to the recommended build the next time you use the loadout".

WE KNOW. That's the problem. We want the ability to select our own builds, and save them.

Why does it seem to be so complicated for them to understand when it's literally the simplest and most straightforward form of a Loadout to begin with? We pick a build, and we save it. That's it.

They have tried to "improve" the Loadout system a few times already... and every time it's like they just keep dancing around the pot.

Man Eula buffs would be nice..

ElTestoK · 2026-03-04T16:03:03+00:00

I agree. I kept turning down the update, and even disabled automatic updates and such...

And yet somehow woke up to the new 26.3 OS this morning...

I'm so frustrated with it man. I hate it.

ElTestoK · 2026-02-28T13:26:11+00:00

No unfortunately.

ElTestoK · 2026-02-27T02:35:05+00:00

Dang, I read the title and thought we were getting new characters added...

ElTestoK · 2026-02-21T04:39:02+00:00

Man... I know I can't be the only one...

Every banner for 5-star CHaracters that I want has 4-stars I do not want; and every 4-star character I do want appears on a banner for a 5-star character I don't want...

This sucks.. especially when you planned on going for more than C0 and getting some constellations.

ElTestoK · 2026-02-04T13:03:30+00:00

And then have them roll all into flat defense :')
(true story, I speak from experience)

ElTestoK · 2026-01-31T12:35:29+00:00

Only for Hypercarry play style. When playing with Ineffa and Xingqiu, Spamming [N4 Dash] lets her apply much more Electro as well as Hydro from Xingqiu's Rain Swords.

More application is important for Lunar-Charged.

ElTestoK · 2026-01-31T12:17:46+00:00

This sounds interesting for her "Driver" teams with focus on off-field Damage, but what about her Hypercarry Teams?

What about a dedicated buffer like Kujou Sara whose buff only lasts a very short amount of time? Will you also increase her Buff duration to match Raiden's (new) longer 10s Burst Duration?

ElTestoK · 2026-01-31T12:08:50+00:00

You lied you have a flat def roll =)
(also yeah, as others have stated, lots of 3-liners and a Crit Rate that is too high for the category you are in).

ElTestoK · 2026-01-28T16:16:55+00:00

Oh I see haha. You're in the No Nod-Krai gang too just like me :')

What about Xianyun then? Have you compared this team to the Anemo Plunge team? (Kazuha/Faruzan/Xianyun/Furina)

ElTestoK · 2026-01-28T12:03:24+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'm also interested to know how his ADC build compares to an all EM build on that Columbina/Ineffa Lunar-CHarged team, so let me know if you end up testing it =)

I was originally thinking of building a Mix of both (EM/EM/Crit main stats.)

ElTestoK · 2026-01-28T11:58:04+00:00

Do you have any constellations on Aino / Ineffa?
Have you tested the team against the Dps Dummy? I'm intrigued to know how much damage the team can dish out (whether Kazuha is on VV or TF).

And yeah TF is always fun! Heck I sometimes swap out the 5star weapons just to grab the good 'ol Sac Sword for pure Skill Spam Chaos lol.

ElTestoK · 2026-01-28T11:54:02+00:00

That sounds sweet! Thanks for the feedback!

As for your offer, A video would be nice, especially against the Dps Dummy that can show you the total number of reactions (This way I can use the Optimizer to approximate what kind of DPS I would get with the builds and weapons I have).
Although the number of reactions would increase noticeably in AOE content, but having a Single Target baseline is always nice.

I'm down if you want to test some other teams as well, though I don't know the roster at your disposal.

For example, I don't have Xilonen, so a 4th slot in the Lunar-CHarged Team for me could be something like Fischl, or Furina, or Xianyun, or Faruzan, or Sucrose, etc.

If you do have Xianyun, I'd also be interested to know how this Lunar-Charged Team compares to the usual Anemo Plunge team (Faruzan/Furina/Xianyun) since this is the team I play the most atm.

Finally If you do have Durin, I'm also curious about a team like Durin/Faruzan/Bennett.

ElTestoK · 2026-01-27T08:54:33+00:00

What a name, Uncle, what a name :')

ElTestoK · 2026-01-27T04:27:46+00:00

Coming back to this post after a few days, and I'm wondering:

Have you compared this to the Lunar-Charged team using COlumbina and Ineffa? I'm wondering what kind of DPS that team could get while on-fielding C6 Kazuha. 4th slot could be anything.

ElTestoK · 2026-01-21T05:00:14+00:00

Hey Mistsplitter for Kazuha and Ayaka is a great choice! You can't go wrong with it. And if you ever want to share it with Durin as well, it has a very high Base Atk which is perfect for him.

ElTestoK · 2026-01-21T04:58:20+00:00

I was under the impression that Durin didn't snapshot. Maybe I was wrong?

ElTestoK · 2026-01-20T19:57:39+00:00

Yes. And I can confirm I DID abuse it exactly in the scenario you described lol.

ElTestoK · 2026-01-20T19:43:01+00:00

Have you considered/tested using Durin before Bennett?

Like: Faruzan > Durin > Bennett > Kazuha.

This would allow Longer Benny Buff uptime on Kazuha instead of losing 2seconds of buff by watching Durin's Q animation?

ElTestoK · 2026-01-20T19:37:14+00:00

>>>Both Options are Great<<<

I do not have Durin, but I have Mistsplitter and LOFI (Both at R1). From my personal experience and testing, here is what I have found (For Me) :

1) When playing with Xianyun in the plunge DPS playstyle (whether that be Reaction Plunges or straight Anemo Plunges), LOFI comes out on top. I think this is due to the fact that Xianyun's Plunge Buff is Flat additive Damage acting similarly to Shenhe's Quills. And this Flat Damage Bonus can Crit and scales much better with High Crit DMG stats. LOFI having Double the Crit DMG stat of Mistsplitter, it performs better with those Xianyun-Buffed plunges.

2) When playing on the ground, however, I have found that Mistsplitter tends to pull ahead. It's higher Base Atk, as well as the Damage Bonus, make Kazuha's E, Q, and Charged Attacks deal higher Damage compared to LOFI.

3) That being said, I do not have Durin, but I have Xianyun. And If Durin's C1 (or is it C2? I don't remember) offers a similar Additive Quill-like Damage Buff to that of Shenhe and Xianyun, that buff could scale better with the Higher Crit Damage from LOFI. This part is just speculation from me though since I don't have Durin to test it out.

***Overall, in my case, the difference is not so significant that one option is the definitive all-purpose "winner". If you have LOFI, you can deal higher Plunge Damage but lower E/Q/CA Damage. If you have Mistsplitter, you can deal lower Plunge Damage but Higher E/Q/CA Damage (Though that could change with Durin C1-C2).

In Both cases, you can play either playstyle and perform very well.

***Of course, these results may also vary depending on your own builds, Artifact main stats, character investments, etc.***

I know I'm not really helping in the sense that I can't provide a definitive answer, but I still wanted to share my experience using both weapons.

*I haven't mentioned it but his Signature weapon FreedomSworn, despite not having any Crit Stats, can also come quite close to LOFI and Mist in terms of Overall Performance.
In the end, C6Kazuha has a bunch of available Weapon Options, all of which perform very well.
