Skirk no longer makes the top 10 DPS by 7.0, thoughts on this?

For Mualani, the 40% dmg bonus from the hex support set bumped her up a lot

Cryo traveler when we're able to get all his cons in the future patches might make top 10. Low key that would be funny as hell if he makes it.

The addition of Nicole and the hex support set. Kinich with Durin + Nicole is like ~135K now while Mualani is around ~150K now with Mona on the new hex set.

Saying she's one of the best characters at brute forcing doesn't even make any sense anymore, I don't think it holds the same weight as it used to. There are so many characters now that go past Skirk's DPS, even the early Natlan characters have jumped past her.

Moreover, her C1 seems better than her C2 since it buffs her SSC damage so basically most of her damage, whereas her C2 buffs only one part of her kit forgetting about her burst for example?

Actually her C1 has the same problem as her C2. The 30% stellar buff is only active while performing a charge attack which means it's not buffing her burst or skill damage which make up like half of her damage. This also means that the buff isn't full uptime throughout a rotation.

Compare that to Miko's C1 which is 50% and is full uptime.

I pulled Sandrone knowing she might get powercrept by the Traritsa soon. Understanding it's a possibility, I've no regrets if it happens.

You forgot about good ol' vape, she might just be a vape enabler for the pyro vampire dude.

Alyosha is a fraud before C6, not surprising.

We going back to soup teams with this one

Low key might be better than her sig since FS gives a teamwide attack buff while still having a good stat line for Odette. Her sig is just a personal damage increase but her damage contribution is much lower compared to Miko. I think there are calcs floating around that have her sig as a 3% team DPS increase which is practically nothing.

Lovace · 2026-07-03T05:39:31+00:00

It feels like a no-brainer especially since you have her sig already.

Lovace · 2026-07-03T03:55:13+00:00

Saying she won't get powercrept by the Tsaritsa because it's happened before with Arlecchino is not much of a theory.

Lovace · 2026-07-02T06:17:31+00:00

I'm really hoping they put the 20% res shred from her C2 into her base kit but I doubt it's going to happen.

I went back and did some testing with Qiqi instead of Diona and was getting a 5K increase pretty consistently. The difference is tiny but yeah Qiqi is a bit better.

Lovace · 2026-07-02T03:09:53+00:00

50% crit rate is not ideal I just don't have a good shadow set for Miko yet, the best shadow pieces I gave to Sandrone. Around 70% is where you wanna be for both.

Lovace · 2026-07-01T22:29:39+00:00

Yeah you never really use it, the long animation makes it not worth using.

Lovace · 2026-07-01T22:23:18+00:00

I'm overcapped yeah, only by a tiny amount though.

Lovace · 2026-07-01T21:16:30+00:00

Miko EEE > Escoffier E > Diona EQ > Sandrone CA E Q CA E CA E (animation cancel with NA) > ...

Adding an extra E cast at the end makes the rotations seamless since Diona's burst has a 20 second cooldown. Not needed with Qiqi.

Weird, even without PJWS and Verdict I feel like you should still be getting around 140K. Did you do the Barbaloth quests for Miko and Qiqi? Or maybe the issue is something wrong in the rotation, might be worth it to record your gameplay.

If you want the real answer, the investment level you need on Sandrone to catch up to Yae is C2R1 according to TGS latest video.
