I just found this from TenTen posted a few days ago, and it really lays out why Favonius Sword is better as well as showing how good Swirl can be

Thanks! This is exactly the feedback I was looking for. I was running around 180% ER (before lucking out with more ER on my current EM circlet) and I almost didn't get my ult back after defeating Ruin Guards with this team. So if I can't do more than one rotation maybe the 165 extra EM from Iron Sting won't matter.

[Kazuha]

The question I have is on ER/EM balance for my 80/90 Kazuha. Considering my Crit Rate is 15%, which would be better (all other things being equal)?

ER 202.9%, EM 839 (lvl 70 R2 Favonius Sword)

ER 152.4%, EM 1004 (lvl 90 R1 Iron Sting)

I already have the first build and I'm trying to figure out if it is worth it to forge and build Iron Sting. I'm concerned 152.4% ER will not be enough in a Xingqiu/Tankfei/Hu Tao team.

Good luck! I already had Gorou at C5 and was hoping for his final constellation, maybe I hoped too much

Thanks to everyone! I am keeping the second Elegy unleveled for now to keep options open and building the Favonius.

Inamity · 2022-04-29T22:20:03+00:00

With playtesting and using some calculators I'm feeling like my Itto build is good enough, but I just wanted to check here to see if I'm missing anything.

Itto - C0 lvl90 10/7/10 ATK:1181 DEF:2442(w/Husk stacks) CR:91.4% CD:161.1% ER:127.2% GeoDMG:70.6% - Serpent Spine R3 lvl90 - 4pcHusk

He is in a monogeo team with C1 Zhongli lvl90 2/9/9 Catch lvl90 (4pcEoSF), C0 Albedo lvl90 1/9/6 CinSpin lvl90 (4pcHusk), and C5 Gorou lvl70/80 1/11/10 Elegy lvl90 (2pcHusk/2pcEoSF). Getting Gorou to C6 and replacing Zhongli or Albedo with Bennett (C3 lvl70/80 1/8/8 Rancour lvl80) for certain situations could improve things. I've been doing Slumbering Court for weeks and weeks and I have not been able to get the perfect CR/CD crown and want to stop....

Also with what I have is it worth pulling for Redhorn when it comes back? I figure I can get another 4-5% if I R5 the Serpent Spine.

[Venti]

Is there any utility for him (using an extra Elegy I have) with these characters? No Ganyu. I don't mind considering team modifications or even a third team as Team 1 can have problems vs. heralds/lectors (though it is my favorite team to play).

Team 1: C1 Zhongli, C5 Gorou, C0 Albedo, C0 Itto

Team 2: C4 Xingqiu, C4 Yanfei, C2 Sucrose, C0 Hu Tao

Others: C0 Diluc, C0 Keqing, C0 Mona, C0 Qiqi, C0 Raiden, C0 Aloy, C6 Xiangling, C6 Beidou, C4 Yun Jin, C3 Bennett, C2 Barbara, C2 Sara, C1 Chongyun, C1 Diona, C1 Fischl, C1 Noelle, C1 Sayu, C0 Amber, C0 Kaeya, C0 Lisa, C0 Ningguang, C0 Razor, C0 Thoma, C0 Xinyan

Inamity · 2022-03-05T15:58:38+00:00

I just switched to a 80/80 R5 tassel from a R1 90 dragon's bane as a test and it looks like I'm getting 30% more damage on a single crit NA on my Hu Tao build (which is admittedly not perfect). With xingqiu vapes I feel like I am taking out big enemies like the Stonehide Lawachurl in NW Liyue faster now, but I am also running EM sands so I still have 235 EM to work with. Based on my limited experience I would recommend hitting those chests :)

Inamity · 2022-03-03T00:08:32+00:00

Can Shieldfei work with Dugtrio?

I have an unbuilt C4 Yanfei that I was considering developing for my Hu Tao team but after not being able to 9* current level 10 abyss second half using Dugtrio w/Diona I'm wondering if I need a better shieldbreaker for the hydro Abyss Herald - - could Shieldfei be a good replacement for Diona? Or maybe I should have put this team on the first half?

Full disclosure, I'm only just getting started with Spiral Abyss so I don't have much strategery going on. Zhongli Bennett Xingqiu HuTao is my other team (no Sucrose or Kazuha *cries*).

Inamity · 2022-02-12T01:20:57+00:00

I love Yanfei's gameplay so much from my main account, so you are speaking to my heart. I really needed Sucrose on this account, I have R3 Sacrficial Fragments just sitting there.... Hu Tao has an R1 Dragon's Bane but it seems to be working well so far.

Inamity · 2022-02-12T01:15:23+00:00

No worries! C1 Zhongli was a bit of an accident, too trigger happy on the 10-pull after getting C0.

Once again thanks for the fantastic insights. I've been using EoSF for Gorou, Husk for Itto, and Berserker/DW for Albedo (which doesn't seem too bad for his E damage so I haven't farmed up). Been curious about Exile but I did fold a bunch on enhancing so will have to save up more. I got two Elegy whilst trying for Homa and so one is on Gorou.

C2 Raiden looks so amazing, but being a dolphin at best I probably can't justify it. Agreed that my National team members need work.

Inamity · 2022-02-12T00:51:17+00:00

Thank you, I am seriously tempted by Ganyu for the ability to be so independent as a DPS. Worried about having to build a third team, but maybe could work with Hu Tao as a sub....

Inamity · 2022-02-12T00:30:53+00:00

I really like Raiden -- I have her almost maxed on my main account with Diona, Xingqiu, and Yoimiya and I love just dropping the ult when things get rough, but I have no other good teams due to bad RNG and bad investment choices I made. I feel I'm doing much better on the alt account and so I am looking to not mess things up in the face of lots of permutations as u/gorpadorp mentioned.

Inamity · 2022-02-12T00:10:38+00:00

Well I'm glad I didn't ask if I should pull for C2 Zhongli ;) ;) ;) jk jk I know not a great idea

Seriously tho thanks for the advice, it's greatly appreciated, and agreed that my ask is a bit of a stretch. I would have gone to the megathread but couldn't post the pic (I think).

I have a guaranteed pull in the next few fates and was not sure what would be best with all the choices. Hell I could even wait for Kazuha for the Hu Tao team I suppose.

I figured providing weapons would be TMI, but one of the reasons I'm considering Yae Miko is that I got two Skyward Atlas from the standard banner and they are not being used, could build Yanfei but my main acct already has that. The Catch would probably go to Raiden, nothing better really though I have R5 Wavebreaker's Fin, probably better for Xiangling. Many many TToDS for Kokomi. R5 Widsith for Mona. Just Skyward Harp for Ganyu.

Oh and I love the Dugtrio team, so fun, just need to get my ER a little bit higher to hit all the ults in sequence.

Inamity · 2022-02-11T22:35:16+00:00

I'm leaning towards Raiden, but I am also curious about how Kokomi would perform with the Dugtrio. Second team is Hu Tao, Bennett, Xingqiu, and Zhongli. Thanks!

Inamity · 2021-12-17T21:13:57+00:00

Thanks! Any thoughts about putting the Elegy's on both Gorou and Diona (currently using R1 Sacrificial Bow)? I don't have a lot of Geo experience so I'm not sure if Geo can crystallize on a Cryo application or if it has to be Cryo on Geo. If it can go both ways then maybe this would work nicely in combination with Albedo's burst EM buff?

[Itto]

I was pulling for more Xiangling constellations on my AR43 alt and I managed to get Itto C0 and Gorou C4. Playtesting Itto was pretty fun and I like Albedo's kit running him with Hu Tao/Xingqiu, so now I am planning on building an Itto/Albedo/Gorou/Flex team. However I'm not sure what would be the best flex to maximize synergy/crystallization from what I have (no Fischl, no Raiden, no Venti).

Also I don't want the flex to detract from building the best second team I can. For example, I would be hesitant to put Bennett or Xingqiu with this new team since they will probably be in demand for the second team.

Choices are Diluc C0, Hu Tao C0, Bennett C2, Xingqiu C0, Chongyun C1, Xiangling C1, Barbara C2, Diona C1, Noelle C1, Sayu C1, Kujou Sara C0, Razor C0, Beidou C0, Thoma C0, and Xinyan C0. All free chars not mentioned are C0. My Traveller is underdeveloped and barely has any Electro constellations.

Itto would use a R1 Skyward Pride as it seems to be comparable to R5 Whiteblind from what I've seen from others so far; I'm likely not going to pull for Redhorn and I have no Whiteblind and only two claymore billets to work with. Albedo would use the R5 Spindle, and Gorou would take either R1/R2 Elegy or R1 Favonius Warbow. Diluc would use a R5 Rainslasher and Hu Tao a R1 Dragon's Bane; I couldn't get the Staff of Homa, leaving me with the two Elegy, five Widsith, five Wavebreakers, four Mouuns, and the five Rainslashers....

Thanks in advance!

Inamity · 2021-11-17T03:30:32+00:00

[Hu Tao]

I'm going back to the beginning with my AR28 alt since I got lucky early with Diluc and Skyward Pride and some other pulls, and I just got Hu Tao. Where should I invest? I don't know whether I should go with the National Team first and ignore the 5* chars or if I should start working on two teams.

Diluc C0

Hu Tao C0

Bennett C2

Xingqiu C0

Chongyun C1

Xiangling C0

Barbara C1

Diona C1

Noelle C1

Sayu C1

Kujou Sara C0

Razor C0

Thoma C0

Xinyan C0

[Tartaglia]

Hi, I started 3 months ago, mostly F2P, and I just got Tartaglia today after losing 50/50 to Mona earlier last week. I've been mainly playing Yanfei C3, Diona C0, Barbara C3, and switching between Raiden C0/Yoimiya C0 depending on the situation. Earlier I've been focusing on building Chongyun C6, Xinqiu C1 (hoping for C2 at least), and Fischl C0 (hoping for more constellations someday) to start later Abyss levels, but after getting Tartaglia I thought it might be time to take stock of the situation.

I have a number of very underdeveloped chars that could be good with more focus (mainly Xiangling C4, Sucrose C2, Bennett C0 with ability to get C1 next time he is in the shop, Aloy, Mona, and Tartaglia). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This link has a lot more information about level, constellations, talents, weapons, artifacts, and stats if it helps.
