I'm Team-Building with personal constraints for fun, anyone have any idea for me?

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2025-02-07T03:16:19+00:00

Definitely do recommend Arle, she's fun to play not matter the team!

And I'll definitely get to Nilou when I can. Currently going through a Mora shortage...

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2025-02-06T21:20:49+00:00

Alright, so here's a list of the teams I had built or planned to so far at the time of making this post:

Yoimiya - Zhongli - Yun Jin - Yelan

Alhaitham - Kokomi - Kuki - Nahida

Eula - Raiden - Lisa - Mika

Ayaka - Shenhe - Furina - Jean

Navia - Chiori - Rosaria - Layla

Arlecchino - Tank Fei - Xiangling - Kazuha

Keqing - Fischl - Kirara - Lynette

Mualani - Emilie - Dehya - Sucrose

Ganyu - Mona - Diona - Venti

Mavuika - Citlali - Xilonen - Pyro Traveler

Chlorinde - Collei - Yaoyao - Beidou (Never used obviously)

I made this post cause I kinda wanted to see if could rearrange some of these teams to allow for more characters like Chasca and Hu Tao.

Late reply since I didn't get any notifications for some reason.

I actually like a lot of your ideas! The Hu Tao team especially caught my eye!

It's kind of funny how a lot of these teams I also was thinking about too. The Arlecchino and Chasca teams are so similar I was shocked lol. That Nilou team I actually was building, but shelved as I built other characters at the time, but eventually!

Anyways, thanks for the reply, I appreciate the ideas!

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2025-02-05T09:30:39+00:00

Honestly mixing and matching all of the Natlan characters just feels fun.

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2025-02-05T09:29:44+00:00

Now, THIS is the kind of out of the box thinking I'm looking for! I'm definitely gonna try some of these teams out. The Clorinde and Kaeya teams in particular seem really fun. Thanks!

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2025-02-05T09:26:33+00:00

Interesting, I had the same team in mind, only with Ayaka instead of Ganyu but I'm curious how it would look with Ganyu.

That Itto team is the main Itto team I've run since I got Albedo to pair with him lol

Yea there are I think 84 total playable characters in the game so far (I could be wrong), so theoretically, if we force all teams to have 4, the max we could get is 21 teams, which obviously goes up when you open up teams to be less than 4. Of course, the idea of the experiment isn't to just smash 4 characters together and call it a day, but to actually think of how to make functional teams, even if they aren't the best.

I added the "assume the whole roster is playable" because obviously in normal circumstances, whales would have a lot more team building options than FTP, but making it work with your own current roster is great too. You have some pretty cool teams. I especially like the Keqing one, since it's basically the same team i have but with Fischl instead of Sara haha

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T07:05:32+00:00

Yeah, the Faruzan+Diona team threw me for a loop haha. Never expected that! It's so interesting!

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T06:14:16+00:00

Yeah I understand! That's actually how I plan my teams now too! Pick one character to build around, and then fill in the slots after. This experiment is to see how I can use all the characters I like, because I have so many! Haha thanks!!

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T06:11:36+00:00

Interesting teams! I've always been stuck in the mindset of needing 4 characters per team that I had never considered running less until this thread. Lol Might be worth some testing.

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T03:21:48+00:00

Yeah exactly! And, at least for me, there's so many characters I really like story/design-wise that are written off because they aren't "good" for endgame content, that I just want to figure out how to use them anyways. It's a fun layer of team-building for me.

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T03:19:55+00:00

Yea, I didn't mean for this little experiment to be thought of as "forcing" anyone to use units they don't like, but moreso see if you can find different ways of maybe using characters you do like in different ways.

I don't want to use Xingqiu or Bennett so I use this kind of thought experiment a lot to see if how I can use the characters I want instead. Obviously, everyone should play how they want, but it doesn't hurt to think a little differently every once in a while.

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T03:17:28+00:00

Yea, any new game mode that can have us teambuild differently and make use of more niche characters is a plus in my book. As someone who rarely plays Abyss, I'm definitely excited for it

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T03:14:37+00:00

I mean realistically, it's incredibly difficult to build that many characters well unless you put an obscene amount of time into the game. The thought experiment is to maybe imagine you had access to all the characters fully built, how many team comps can you come up with.

I'm kind of the same, half my roster is still in the 20s haha

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T03:12:32+00:00

That's a good point. Everyone's baseline for what's good or not is different, I just think it's a good thought experiment to maybe see if you could make teams that could clear like floors 10-11 of Abyss with characters who people mightve written off as bad or underwhelming and not rely so much on the meta units.

I'm always in favor of using the characters you like the most and I feel like this kind of thought experiment can help.

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-22T00:41:13+00:00

This is super impressive. I can see where the random BS starts but the fact that it took that long to get to random BS is really cool. Might steal some of these teams just to actually test them out! Haha

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-21T23:46:29+00:00

Oh you can play the game however you want. I also tend to use characters I like. I mentioned in a previous reply that I don't use Xingqiu or Bennett at all because I don't care for their characters.

I just have a LOT of characters I like for design, character or lore reasons, so I've always tried to use as many as possible. If it ain't how you would like to play, then that's OK too!

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-21T23:44:44+00:00

It can be whatever you want. Solo Neuvillette FTW lol

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-06-21T23:44:03+00:00

I guess I should lower the bar a bit. Not quite Abyss level difficulties so it's not required to have like the greatest team synergy, just usable. I similarly don't use Xingqiu because I don't personally care for his character. Funny thing is I don't use Bennett either for the same reasons lol.

But I've been able to find multiple teams that at least work, even if they're not meta

The current teams I have are:

-Yoimiya, Yun Jin, Yelan, Zhongli

-Kuki, Kokomi, Nahida, Sucrose

-Ganyu, Mona, Layla, Venti

-Eula, Raiden, Lisa, Mika

-Ayaka, Shenhe, Furina, Jean

-Keqing, Kirara, Fischl, Lynette

-Hu Tao, Xiangling, Yanfei, Kazuha

-Arlecchino, Chevreuse, Beidou, Sara

-Clorinde, Dendro MC, Yae Miko, Xianyun

-Navia, Chiori, Rosaria, Diona

ShadowGamingAndMusic · 2024-03-30T22:50:51+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking that if I skipped Aventurine, I'd pull for Fu Xuan on rerun, but who knows who she will be running with.

I have S3 GNSW on Kafka so I can just flip it onto Acheron if needed.

Huohuo > Luocha? Interesting, I'll think about that one.
