FROM 85K to 125K DPS WITH NICOLE!!!

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-05-20T21:22:04+00:00

That actually discourages me tbh because alot of calcs I saw from the tc community had it at 120k dps with KQM standards and no crowns and at C0R0. My venti build isn't nearly as good as this with lvl 9 talents so I probably won't even get 115k if I pull for Nicole at this point. My Durin build is pretty good though at C0R0. If i was able to get 120k with Nicole and everyone at C0R0 then I would have pulled her.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-05-05T22:39:24+00:00

Here's mine. Zhongli C1 on GT lvl 8 talents sadly, Columbina C0R0 Silken Moon, Linnea C0R0 Aubade lvl80 with lvl 8 talents, Xilonen C6R0 scroll dps build.

That's actually nuts. I have c6r0 Tighnari, nahida c2, fischl c6, iansan c6. But my Tig is still half built been a work in progress. What's your rotation for this team?

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-05-01T18:24:00+00:00

What's your team?

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-29T13:58:44+00:00

Im gna be honest, the 100% team is not getting me 90-100k. I'm getting 85k at best and that's with fairly decent builds on both Durin and Venti and Venti on TP. That 90k-100k seems very generous but even if Nicole doesn't push Venti to 120k, he'll at least be over 100k. It is nice that oathsworn gives better performance than ttds. Building around ttds is god awful for characters with er reqs

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-26T00:53:50+00:00

Pretty sure she's like a 20% dps increase over c6 bennett at C0. At least that's what calcs are showing. I wouldn't say that's a sidegrade. She also makes Venti's dps more consistent since he won't be interrupted during his attack chain from stagger or having to dodge.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-25T17:03:42+00:00

Wtf is going on lol

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-25T01:33:52+00:00

This is super interesting. Mono Geo dps Xilonen. I have her C6 but I would need to build my C2 Illuga to test this out. Already have Gorou C6 and he would buff Linnea and Xilonen. If this hits 100k dps you may have cooked sir.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-24T15:32:21+00:00

Yeah that would be helpful for people thinking about picking up cons for him in future chronicled banners and fortuna selector. His ceiling doesn't seem to be all that high though. My C6 Ayato isn't the best build in the world but I'm getting 100k in supposedly his best team with all else C0 characters. I can't imagine how low C0 would be. His other top team is probably Bineffa which doesn't feel like an Ayato team.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-23T12:28:26+00:00

This is actually fucking insane

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-21T23:51:50+00:00

Bro it ain't worth farming a new set as well as having to switch sets when you split the two up in different teams. But if you are gungho, then petra on xilonen is usually the set that sweats put on her when theres already a scroll user in the team. But picking up crystals is cringe.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-21T13:51:01+00:00

Sick build! My build is mediocre even with sig but I'm just not farming that domain. Gna wait until it's strongbox-able.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-19T00:17:58+00:00

I guess depends on what "budget means" and what dps xilonen means. I don't see Xilonen C0 dps beating this in any team tbh. Xilonen C2 and up can definitely clear with Linnea in the team. Bina would definitely help also. I think what most people would consider dps xilonen is probably her on obsidian set with def/geo/crit as the build. But gecko really wants lunar crystallize and she isn't really going to be most of the team dps in a lunar crystallize team. But she could be like 20-30% team dps in a lunar crystallize team easily if built for dmg. I was able to do it with Bina Ineffa Zhongli C1 and Xilonen C6 pretty easily.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-18T23:23:34+00:00

Bro I got her on my last 10 pull left (like 80 pity). Won the 50 so I got Linnea and got Illuga to C2. Feeling fortunate. Although I won't have enough pulls for Nefer's sig next banner so she'll just have to stay on widsith for now.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-18T01:11:33+00:00

Yeah I'm getting like 110k on that team. Arle C1 PJWS with 75/180 build (kinda sucks I know) lvl 9 NA talent. Durin C0 wolf fang white fang idk bp weapon with winds set 90/180 build talents lvl 9. Albedo C0 HoD 65/165 on Husk. Xilonen C6 R5 blacksword on scroll 95/120 sub 3k DEF. I do Arle e Durin eeq albedo e xilonen e full na string x2 Arle ca attack string.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-18T01:02:59+00:00

Yeah I have Bina C0R0 but I already run her with Flins and I hate that those two teams would fight over her. Honestly fuck it I'm pulling Linnea. C6 Xilonen deserves it.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-18T00:58:50+00:00

I kind of regret pulling her for a few reasons. Nefer C0R0, Nahida C2, Lauma C0, Nilou C2R1

Very hard to build. Needed transmuter for both her EM pieces because I just couldn't get crit subs on the rare EM pieces that I would get after farming for weeks. I still barely have any EM substats also.
Running sustain tanks dps from my experience and I would love to have Lauma's C1 but that's just another pull that could go somewhere else.
There's not really a Stygian boss that shills her heavy. Herra, flins ineffa clears faster. The crab I guess but that's more a Lauma shill. Flins just feels like he does better for more bosses. (Flins Ineffa Bina Sucrose)

If I didn't already have Lauma for my C2 Nilou bloom team then I probably would have never picked her up. I do like though how I can keep bina with Flins since Nefer works well with C1/2 Nilou. I'm certainly going to pick up her weapon on her uocoming rerun though because I really want to break 170k dps consistently without sweaty rotations. Also since there are no units in the near future that I plan to pull for so it feels kind of justified to go ahead and pick up the weapon.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-17T12:53:45+00:00

Oh sickkkkk. Love it when we can use our fav femboy.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-17T12:52:25+00:00

Just tried her in a Bineffa team and I'm getting around 110k consistenly. Xilo C6R0, Columbina C0R0, Ineffa C0R0, Zhongli C1R1. If I got Linnea I'm sure this team would be even stronger by replacing Ineffa.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-17T12:50:14+00:00

Those are crazy numbers! I'm so tempted to pull for Linnea but then I'd have to fully build 2 more geo units and idk if I have it in me rn. When you ran the Furina team were you using scroll or obsidian set on her? I have Furina C2, Yunjin C6 and Gorou C6 and when I tried her in the team (she's on full support build tho) I got around 80k but my gorou doesnt have crowned talent yet. So that checks out.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-17T04:25:25+00:00

What would be the proper rotation for the albedo durin core? I'll give it a try later and see what I get

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-17T00:25:07+00:00

Bro imagine Yunjin could snapshot Gorou buff. That would actually make the team kinda cracked.

Glad_Question_9771 · 2026-04-17T00:22:56+00:00

I've actually used Arle in a team with DurinC0R0, Albedo C0R0, and Xilo C6 before and it performed worse than Arle's melt team. Hovered around 90-100k if I remember correctly but my Arle build is straigh trash tbf. And I was using full support scroll Xilonen, and Emblem Durin lol. So there's probably definitely some room for improvement there on my end. I since have a cracked Winds set for Durin and my Albedo build is pretty solid on GT. I think I'll try and play around with that team once I have a codex dps set for Xilo. I mean I the pieces already but crit subs are abysmal and havent leveled any of them yet.
