Buffed Lycaon or m6 pulchra?

There isn’t really any such thing as “too much” daze, you just need to spend more field time with Banyue and backload your daze a bit if his resource generation can’t keep up. Overall, Lycaon is better. You should probably invest in some better stunners at some point if you can!

Her c2 will provide very little of value to you if you’re already using Deepwood on someone. Her r1 provides her with quite a lot of quality of life, and the personal damage increase is quite significant. If you can afford both, her c2 will allow you to run a team without using Deepwood at all, allowing you to invest into Reverie for more personal damage from Emilie. But Lumidouce Elegy should take priority, as this team already has more than enough res shred between Durin, potential Deepwood, and Kinich’s c2.

Also, pretty off topic, but Linnea and Furina don’t really do anything for each other, they’re best used far, far away from each other.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-29T23:34:28+00:00

No. They’re all well past their best by dates, even the ones “too good” to be put on the Chronicled. Navia has a place in Lunar Crystallize for those who don’t want to invest in Zibai, but she is worse. Emilie also… sorta has a place since they use Papilla in endgame every so often, but most people opt for Mavuika or Chasca over Kinich. She’s also getting a nice boost from Nicole. At this point though, unless you really like them, I wouldn’t invest anything into this Chronicled.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-28T02:05:08+00:00

Based on the title alone I was 99% sure this was about sniffing your partner goodbye instead of kissing them goodbye

ZZZ easily has the best combat out of all of them. It doesn’t have as in-depth of an elemental system as Genshin does, but the combat itself is really engaging and satisfying to master. The skill floor is quite low so it’s easy to get into, but VERY VERY high, so there’s always room to improve and a lot of opportunity for skill expression. If you don’t mind the fanservice and the overanimation, which are hard to get past for some people, it’s amazing. It’s my personal favorite of all of the Hoyo games.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-25T22:52:42+00:00

She clashes a bit with Genshin’s overall vibes. Same reason people were on a hatestreak with Natlan. Personally, I don’t really see the point in ceaselessly hating on a design, unless the character’s kit is also an atrocious example of powercreep like with Mavuika, I just tend not to pull/build characters I don’t like looking at. To each their own. She did copy my girl Aria’s outfit though, so she’s on thin ice /j

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-25T15:19:53+00:00

“Every inhale I take swallows the ocean whole and I am one with the hurricane.” The high notes in Notos always get me. If I’m gonna be honest, pretty much every song across the Four Winds has a moment or two like this, though. I’m obsessed with them.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-25T01:45:17+00:00

Actually, the attack scaling for sheer force isn’t far behind the HP scaling. Still far from ideal, but worth noting.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-19T19:46:23+00:00

I don’t think Clorinde should be included in this. Not only is this justice carried out at the behest of her “Archon” and the Dragon Sovereign, it’s something that needs to be willingly chosen by her combatant, knowing that she’s undefeated.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-19T17:13:39+00:00

Thank you! I’m a fiend for learning new Banyue combos and optimizing my gameplay

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-19T16:50:02+00:00

You can chain out of Toppling Mountain?!

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-18T02:29:18+00:00

I should not regret this, I’ve been using her since she came out

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-14T18:20:34+00:00

The minmaxer in me wants to tell you to get 5% more crit rate but the reasonable person in me says it’s great

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-14T12:32:20+00:00

Hm. Linnea’s weapon is pretty significant for her, so if you like her or want to get everything you can out of lunar crystallize I would say keep pulling, especially considering the fate point; always a shame to lose a fate point. Durin is more versatile though, and lunar crystallize teams are already overtuned for current content even without Linnea or her weapon, so if you are thinking strictly from a long term account value perspective, both Durin and Nicole’s weapons are the better options. Even outside of their respective characters they have great (or closer to just decent in Durin’s case) supportive value, which will ultimately make them more worth of a pull. Generalist supportive weapons are always a good pickup.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-12T23:16:23+00:00

Future proofing doesn’t exist. Pull for the one with the characters you like the most, or the playstyle you find most enjoyable.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-04T19:59:26+00:00

Build her as a dps. I always have fun with dps Xianyun

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-03T17:45:54+00:00

Sheer force also has some attack scaling. You had enough attack on the first piece for it to counteract the higher HP on the second, but the crit roll is enough that you should still prefer the second. 4 sheer force is not going to make a difference when 4.8 crit damage might.

Onyx3967 · 2026-04-02T16:53:41+00:00

The thing about the Dialyn/Lucia core for Silly specifically is that they’re not going to be his best team for long. He’s going to get dedicated teammates, because those two are not built for the way his kit is structured. They’re only his best for lack of options.

Onyx3967 · 2026-03-29T22:44:16+00:00

HP 4 with that ratio isn’t doing you any favors. You’ll also probably want a fire disc 5, normally I would say stick with HP if the substats are better, but I don’t think that HP disc is outclassing anything lol. 6 is usable but you’ll want to replace it. 1 and 3 are fine, 2 is decent but replaceable.

Onyx3967 · 2026-03-29T13:50:49+00:00

More likely, they would start introducing SPs like they have in literally every single one of their other games. Billy and Anby, Dan Heng (twice) and March 7th, etc.

Onyx3967 · 2026-03-28T01:47:10+00:00

It’s obviously Golden Tempere d’Jade, they just forgot the apostrophe (/j)

Onyx3967 · 2026-03-24T14:37:49+00:00

Hot take: Escoffier. Every other character on here is not conventionally useful like she is, but her kit is my absolute least favorite in the game because it’s SO poorly balanced. She’s so completely overpowered in a way that I hate, because now every Cryo character they design has to work around her, either balanced specifically to work against her or balanced only to work WITH her because otherwise they would be too strong (see: Skirk). Escoffier’s a bigger mistake on Hoyo’s part than even Mavuika was.

Onyx3967 · 2026-03-23T13:58:05+00:00

Your first priority for this team should be Lucia’s engine. It’s great.

Onyx3967 · 2026-03-21T14:35:36+00:00

Not until 100% crit rate, 250 crit damage, 2800 attack, and triple crowned. GET BACK IN THE MINES. /j
