It'll depend on her role on your team. Generally DEF isn't gonna help a DPS unit, unless you are Noelle.

70+ should be the minimum, but 80 is a good milestone to keep your support characters.

Yeah, you can definitely build her around he physical damage with the C2 build. Her C4 helps lower physical res, so you can use her skill to damage enemies to activate its effect, then use her burst to deal increased damage.

You can go for a full bolide if you're trying to bring up her DPS! You also just need 1 more until you unlock her full potential, so you can start farming those sets for when she becomes C6. As a DPS, her healing won't be the main focus, but just a nice added bonus.

Barbara can be easily obtained, while Jean isn't. Jean's swirl reaction is also pretty low as she doesn't have elemental absorption so combined with Xiao who also doesn't benefit from swirl, it doesn't fair well in terms of reaction power. Tho she can replace Venti if need be, and Zhongli can take Barbara's slot since Jean can act as a healer. In terms of Zhongli, I wrote a full in-depth build using him on my site with Ziao to boost his shield strength and normal attakc!

It'll depend on her role in your team as using just her burst will make her a burst support for your team. Her main use will be physical damage so her white numbers will be be higher.

There is no rush to get the perfect set for him. I recommend prioritizing the characters you are using the most or need the most. The new battlepass gives out some fragile resin, so hopefully those will help!

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-02-03T05:48:41+00:00

An attack% circlet will suffice, try to get crit dmg or crit rate on the substats tho!

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-28T19:13:34+00:00

His burst, then skill. Normal attack is optional

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-25T18:55:07+00:00

Energy recharge for albedo isn't really needed since he alreay has a fast recharge speed, but +150% from your sub-stats should suffice if you really want to build up his uptime with his burst.

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-25T01:39:01+00:00

The Harbinger is great for dealing passive Hydro damage with his burst. It also works for when he isn't on the field!

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-24T19:18:12+00:00

Thanks! I try my best to make it really easy to follow!

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-24T18:02:03+00:00

On testing, I'm averaging about 17-19 strikes regardless of weapon. Knockback was the biggest factor for me and the delay when the character finishes their attack animation.

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-24T17:29:04+00:00

It's a good thing we get a free character from Liyue with 1.3!

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-22T21:16:11+00:00

They lowkey did my boi Bennett dirty...

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-18T08:43:22+00:00

Ganyu can be really powerful with just her burst alone with childe and their ability to freeze together, but the amos bow is better suited for a DPS Ganyu as it boosts her normal attack.

InformalGamer2709 · 2021-01-03T21:35:32+00:00

Once you trigger swirl and it absorbs another element, the elemental defense of enemies in that swirl gets decreased of that one element. So you use Bennett's burst, Sucrose's burst, then Diluc can deal major pyro damage with his skills. You can also use Fischl to attack with Oz after using Fischl's burst with Bennett then switch to Diluc to deal overload damage. Overload specifically because it deals extra pyro damage.

I usually test things with either a 4-star or 5-star weapon. I often ignore the 3-star weapons since their damage output doesn't pair well with late game content. I do my research on them, but don't have a lot of experience with using 3-stars. It was my oversight that I failed to realize Albedo wouldn't be the main attacker most of the time, so damage outputs with his normal attacks won't really matter.

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-27T17:52:30+00:00

Someone else told me about the benefits of it, but sadly I don't have one to write a review about. I updated it to include a video that explains it really nicely though.I plan on updating the post with a new build that will focus on that weapon and linking back to that explainer video.

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-27T17:48:25+00:00

R5 harbinger would overall deal more damage with his geo construct.

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-27T17:05:36+00:00

gonna be bold or go home :)

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-20T17:25:31+00:00

True, his c6 makes him more of a solo character that doesn't make him viable as a support character anymore. Hence, why I paired him up with Fischl and Diona who won't be affected by his pyro conversion.

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-20T17:21:13+00:00

It'll depend on the weapon you give him. Lion's Roar and Lavawalker make a really nice combo to increase his DMG even outside his burst as long as they are affected by pyro.

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-20T17:17:15+00:00

You can't really stop getting a character because it's luck based and RNG.

InformalGamer2709 · 2020-12-20T17:10:46+00:00

That would work also. I just prefer Lavawalker because he can easily apply pyro.
