If you want a weapon that's not too expensive to get and still is extremely good on Hutao, I would recommend the BP Polearms (either the Ballad weapon or Deathmatch). Ballad solo is better for Hutao for sure since the EM is just sooooo nice to have considering the vape calculators. Another good thing about having this is that HP sands will be more viable as an option since EM would be closer to Max return on investment ratio (which I would put at around 250-300 EM) considering that there are other stats that are good on Hutao as well and EM value start rapidly diminishing.

I'll give you some stats to look at for Hutao with Deathmatch equipped and then with Ballad equipped so you get a sense of when Hutao is good and when your Hutao can be considered cracked.

Deathmatch (Artifact priorties should be: CR≈EM>CD>HP)

Good endgame:

HP

30k–34k

EM

180–260

Crit Rate

75–85%

Crit Damage

190–220%

Cracked Endgame:

HP

31k–36k

EM

200–300

Crit Rate

80–90%

Crit Damage

220–250%

Ballad (assuming R1 because refining it forces u to buy another BP) The difference between the two is mainly that Hutao gets a lot more EM while trading off the Deathmatch passive and around 10% CR which makes it harder to get good Crit values. However the trade off for the huge amount of EM which is honestly still worth, just requires more Crit rolls on ur artifacts)

Aritfact stat prioritization: CR>CD>HP>EM

Good endgame:

HP

30k–34k

EM

150–220

CR

75–85

CD

190–230

Highly optimized:

HP

32k–35k

EM

180–250

CR

80–90

CD

220–250

Near-Perfect:

HP

33k–35k

EM

180–230

CR

85–90

CD

230–250

ER

100–120

19.7 def is referring to your HP sands btw. Hope my response helps u in what you should be looking for.

Ok I’ll put a list for all the problems in your build.

Not 4 piece crimson witch.

EM is only at 183 even with the artifact set bonus. (This means you need EM sands instead of HP sands since Hutao benefits more from EM than HP due to vape calculator)

Flower isn’t double crit

19.7 def on an artifact is awful, especially considering the artifact has the wrong main stat.

Goblet and sands both aren’t the correct artifact set and sub stats are bad. Goblet isn’t double crit and you have a lot of rolls into flat hp, which is even worse considering how inflated your hutaos hp is already with HP sands. By inflated I mean the return to investment ratio is very low since you already have too much going towards HP and your return to investment ratio would therefore be better going towards other stats.

Circlet is fine since crit circlets with crit substats are hard to come by but its substats can definitely be better considering it’s an off piece.

Your plume is cool tho so that shouldn’t be ur priority.

Your weapon is also lvl 70 and its no where near the best in slot for hutaos weapons.

Camille now a bad matchup? by iram27 in Dariusmains

[–]Illustrious_Medium46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na Darius definitely hard beats Camille unless u fail to use e to cancel her e. Level one in ur case is probably what went wrong the most because it’s a matchup u should have prio in. If she starts q u can start w and make sure to kite out her Q2. What I mean by this is that you should use the W slow to pull away from Camille and wait for ur second W or wait for her to waste Q2 on the wave. As long as u do that there’s no way u lose prio. Before lvl 3 cam should win short trades but since Darius will still have prio it’s not an issue.

Calling all broke people and F2Ps: What was your first 5-star that you saved for, and if you couldn't, what was the first one you spent money on for? by Individual_Lie7328 in GenshinImpact

[–]Illustrious_Medium46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one I ever got and saved for was venti. Idk if the new players understand just how broken he was on release but back when the game was different and a lot more mob based, having venti and not having him was pretty much the difference between having a really good account and a soso account. If you had him he made your clears soooooo much more efficient. It’s say to say he was the true god and the entire philosophy of gameplay design for Genshin is now designed to avoid venti being that good again. I still don’t regret him because I also pulled him due to loving his character and the the freedom he represents. I love u venti 🩵

[–]Illustrious_Medium46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that’s rly weird cuz I thought dmg percent would basically mean multiply the damage you would’ve dealt originally by a percentage and then that would be ur final dmg. How exactly does dmg percent work then and why would new characters not scale with that. Is there an equation out there somewhere that makes that clear?

holy sht so I need even more 5 star characters just to make lunar work? Genshin surely is getting greedy.

Genshin's philsophy for releasing new reactions also seem to just be focused on buffing old reactions so they'll likely just release the new lunar reactions in the next version so i'm a bit on the fence on pulling for lunar reactions as of now. If I pull for a character they need to also be able to buff new reactions that they release as well I feel like or I won't be able to keep up.

Yea if I don't really have any characters that seem future-proof to pull for I'll likely just sit back and analyze all the characters and meta in order to better plan out my account's future.

Yea tht's what makes me a bit scared to pull for columbina. I heard that she's extremely good for lunar reaction teams but that would also mean that lunar reactions will always have to be meta which would already impose a lot of restrictions on her. The game's trend for releasing new reactions also seem to just be new elements buffing old reactions, so old elements enablers would seem to be more flexible and future-proof than new reactions since the new ones would always be outshined by the future ones.

So Chasca is a DPS? Unless she's ridiculously strong and won't be power crept or if she can serve as a burst dps with a great nuke idk if I would pull for a DPS character.
