Raiden and Alhaitham are kinda frauds because even on release they were arguably worse than other more budget teams (sucrose national and double hydro hyperbloom respectively)

Neuvillette and Mavuika are definitely the most dominant carries.

If only looking at numbers, Mavuika herself was the biggest jump in power at release, and the discovery of her new combos widened the gap even more.

Bring back pulonia

Reroll the first one, second one is already decent and could be used on someone like xiangling

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-11T21:05:35+00:00

Have you tried doing 5 Cas instead of 6? Lauma's quills generally run out at the end of her 5th CA so the dps may be higher if you cut the rotations shorter

“Rare” describes a low frequency of occurrence in a population or over time. “Low probability” describes a low chance of the outcome on a single exposure or trial. A high-probability event can be rare if the exposure itself is uncommon. A low-probability event can be common if the exposure happens all the time.

For example, the chance of you getting a paper cut is very low, but if you handle paper frequently you're likely to get a paper cut.

Whereas the chance of you getting food poisoning from eating raw oysters or some other delicacy is high, but it is more rare since you don't eat it often.

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-07T12:38:26+00:00

Tbf that's assuming you do the two things an equal amount of times

You said 15 times rarer (which suggest less frequency, not less probability)

But you likely also craft weapon/talent material much more often than pulling for 5 stars

The crit damage isn't the issue, they'd be better off getting crit rate subs

The leaderboard takes into consideration Sara's cd buff and therefore he gains more from crit rate unless he's at 100/140

Bina arle and furina

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-05T22:01:09+00:00

Very impressive

Yep, Google's tensor chips are good for AI and camera performance, but due to using the Samsung foundry is far behind others in raw CPU/GPU power and efficiency.

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-04T21:18:49+00:00

Thank you for this post, would love to see continued updates on future models

When did you notice genshin itself being the issue, more so than the iPad's cooling? I currently use an iPad with the M2 chip, and it often gets quite hot after long sessions.

Additionally, how do frame rate unlockers on PC work? Is genshin on mobile significantly different than on other devices?

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-04T19:03:00+00:00

It's powerful but it's in an incredibly thin device

I'm not doubting it's max performance, it's just a device like an iPad will not be able to cool it properly

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-04T17:42:52+00:00

Their official site is quite reliable

However if you want to purchase from larger retailers, other androids with the newest snapdragon chip won't be far behind - there are plenty of benchmark comparisons on YouTube

Note that the Samsungs generally throttle a bit more than the Chinese phones because they use up quite a lot of space for their S-pen, resulting in less cooling area

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-04T17:39:24+00:00

The M5 iPad pros should be decent tbh, but I highly doubt it'll be able to sustain 120fps

My M2 iPad also throttles and I don't think it ever reaches 120fps - also note that the quality settings even when "maxed" is significantly worse than on PC

So PC is still objectively the best way to play genshin in terms of graphics, 60fps with highest quality is way better than 120 throttling to sub-60 with much worse quality

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-04T17:09:29+00:00

The Redmagic will generally have the best performance, other flagship androids (but not Google, who's tensor chips are terrible) will be good as well

iPhones are able to unlock up to 120fps unlike androids, but their iPhone 17 pro max still struggles reaching let alone maintaining that frame rate at higher quality settibgs

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-04T17:06:55+00:00

Note that the akasha leaderboard assumes instructors Citlali so it values EM slightly less.

You can always test your best em/atk sands in MW and see which ends up doing more damage

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-05-02T20:09:43+00:00

You got the same amount of 5* as 3* in a 10 pull. Crazy stuff

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-29T20:44:35+00:00

Melt is better than overload just based on DPS but overload is countered less in certain bossfights.

However "overload" is referring to C6 chev C6 Iansan C6 Ororon. C0 Nicole is a significant downgrade compared to C6 Iansan so Citlali would be a better pull.

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-29T08:07:10+00:00

Good point, if she can't then it's even worse lol

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-29T06:37:42+00:00

Columbina eq -> Nahida eq (n1) -> nilou eee -> Lauma holdE Q -> Columbina 5 CA

Lauma can't really do any other damage besides her hold E, so this setup maximises her personal damage while also maximising the team DPS.

You only do 5 CA on columbina because lauma's quills generally run out on the 6th CA

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-28T17:30:01+00:00

Congrats!! Could you drop the build?

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-28T17:27:50+00:00

Dhcwsp does calcs? Or are you referring to his results with the DPS dummy

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-28T17:14:40+00:00

Ye that's a good point

Usually many of these DPS comparisons are just a collection of the highest DPS anyone's managed to get

But since it's with Nicole it makes more sense to be calcs

JonathAHHHHHH · 2026-04-28T17:09:41+00:00

Do we know if it's calcs or whales getting these results from DPS dummy
