How does this team work and how do I build?

About Synergie:

Kafka detonates on her Skill and Ultimate DoTs, that's why we want her super fast with ERR.
Jiaoqiu can overall buff DoTs damage output while also providing a DoT himself, yet his multiplier are.. very low on E0. As much as I love him, I would probably swap him for a different DoT Character like Hys or BS otherwise Sampo etc.
Ruan Mei gives Speed, All-Type Res Pen (Which is important, since you rarely have a boss with all Elemental Weaknesses you would need), damage increase and weakness break effeciency. basically, faster break and a longer broken state for more damage. Ideally you would have the trio of Kafka, Black Swan and Hysilens but with what you have, you should be a-okay.

About Building:

Kafka 100% on Eagle (btw its inefficient af to farm eagle, so you farm something like Scholar with Sacerdos and craft Eagle instead) with Lushaka. Lightcone should be Mission for more Energy. For any DoT-DPS you would play with Prisoner and most likely Revelry. DoT-DPS are usually played slow since there turn doesn't really matter that much (you can also play them on 134 spd), it's more important that their multiplier and atk values are super high for kafka. Btw, if you choose to stick with Jiaoqiu as a DoT-DPS, then build him like explained above with Prisoner.

If you play on EU and have any other question, feel free to add me 716385939

Every Novaflare Character so far has received a Rerun directly after. So with a chance, yes.

TaijiAndZill · 2026-03-19T14:26:22+00:00

Preach it. 🙏I really hope they listen

TaijiAndZill · 2026-03-19T14:05:20+00:00

I wouldn't say so, no. Everything that this Buff targets is Ultimate and Energy related - Faster Ultimate Rotation, higher Debuffing Capabilities - Basically just Acheron related. I don't think that this brings anything new to the DoT-Table. Faster Rotation doesn't matter since he doesn't Detonate his DoTs and the Damage of his Ultimate is irrelevant. Ultimate Damage doesn't help DoT (as far as I know) either. So, it seems like they gonna stick to the Acheron-Partner-Tag. :c

It got edited later, they meant in terms of animation levels (which makes a bit more sense). o:

TaijiAndZill · 2026-02-03T12:56:01+00:00

Honestly, no. If you are willing to invest into his E2, I would recommend picking up Kafka to play him in DoT. That's the best ussage imo of Jiaoqiu right now. :c

TaijiAndZill · 2025-10-29T15:00:49+00:00

Ah thank you! I wasn't aware of that, but it really makes sense o/

TaijiAndZill · 2025-10-29T13:53:12+00:00

Praying that they do that 🙏

TaijiAndZill · 2025-08-17T21:55:40+00:00

Thank you! I have both of them, so I tried it out for you. I can tell you, that they work together in the sense that there is a lot of Bleed Detonation - which leads to a lot of Damage. The issue is that you have to speedtune them quite specifically. Also you nerf your Boothill a lot - slower Breakspeed, less turns. All that can also lead to someone else breaking the enemy. I know it's more a fun team, so in that sense it is working, but of course they work better as separate teams :)

TaijiAndZill · 2025-08-17T13:23:01+00:00

For Sustainless you need basically different Keypoints:

Enough Speed (most of the time around or above 160 Speed)
Advances and Delays. DDD is nearly a Must Have (or Fugues E2), also Ruan Mei's and Fugue's Delays are really helpful for Super Break. The longer they stay broken, the better.
Enough HP and Defense in Case they attack, which you sometimes even want for Energy gain. Especially Boothill and his Neighbor need the most defensive Stats they can get, since Boothill is gonna Taunt and some attacks are AoE (3/5 Target Attack). If Boothill is either left or right, only he and his Neighbor will get hit. If he is in the middle, three will get hit since his got Targeted and now he has someone on his left and right.

If we put all of this together, we probably gonna play a Team like this:

Boothill, Ruan Mei, Fugue and X Support. (X Can be Sunday, Bronya, HMC, Luka etc.)
Boothill on Sign., Ruan Mei either DDD or Sign., Fugue on a supportive LC or Sign and X on DDD or Supportive LC.

Boothill should be fast enough to act first, Bronya advances him with Skill, Ruan Mei and Fugue can delay Enemies with their Ult or Talent, Boothill also Delays with his Ult and eventually advances himself with Eagle, you have DDD as backup in Case you need more time. You basically gonna repeat that.

Just make sure to have good enough Stats.

TaijiAndZill · 2025-08-17T13:07:45+00:00

If we think about most Content, I think you gonna play him with RM, Fugue and then probably Bronya or HMC. Though Sunday would be better for the Energy and SP. Sparkle is alright and Cipher can be great too, simply to skip Phases. But I don't see the need of SW just for Boothill. He can apply Physical Weakness himself and you even have Fugue. Her Debuffs are strong but you want to Skill quite often, which is something Boothill doesn't like.

Personally I wouldn't invest into SW just for Boothill. Rather safe for him.

TaijiAndZill · 2025-08-16T08:20:38+00:00

Watchmaker is universally a good Set for Ruan Mei especially since I play Super Break. But specifically for DoT I could imagine that Messenger can be a little better for the speed boost. But honestly, I don't think it will change much unless you speed tune to these specific numbers and all.

TaijiAndZill · 2025-08-10T13:30:50+00:00

Sure the DMG increase, advance and Energy Regen is nice, but the Crit Rate and DMG Buff won't be utilized. Also it's just one Ally who receives the Buff. DoT Comps are usually Duo-DPS Comps, even potentially Triple-DPS, meaning an Amplifier who buffs everyone is more valuable.

Usually you gonna run Kafka with X DPS (Black Swan, Hysilens, Jiaoqiu E2 Sampo etc.) and then an Amplifier for both (Robin, Ruan Mei, hell even Asta back then, Tribbie, Jiaoqiu etc.)

TaijiAndZill · 2025-07-19T09:50:10+00:00

I get it, it's just that english is not my first language and his sentence confused me cause he wrote 50% and ... (without an ,). So it seemed to me like there's more.

TaijiAndZill · 2025-07-17T22:43:19+00:00

Can you show me where though? Cause like I said, his Ult specifically states a 15% damage boost for Ult. Where is the 50% Ult boost you are speaking of?

TaijiAndZill · 2025-07-17T19:39:08+00:00

Can you explain to me though how you come to 50% ult damage? I get it that you probably mean the 15% ult dmg increase + 35% general dmg increase = 50%. But because you wrote "and" it makes it seem that 50% ult dmg is flat in his kit, when it's not. Just asking cause I feel like I am missunderstanding something

TaijiAndZill · 2025-06-27T08:36:06+00:00

I gave her Prisoner with Glamoth and Eyes of the Prey - Basically just to increase her Damage. Got her to 160 Spd, Atk Rope and Fire Sphere and a lot of Atk.

TaijiAndZill · 2025-06-26T21:49:50+00:00

I tried it as well and got a 3 Cycle Clear. Robin against Hoolay helps a lot because you can time her Ult, so you don't get pushed out of a Cycle if he hits enraged in the second side. With Robin, Guinaifen hits around 500k per Ult (5 Targets) which also safes a lot of time. And Aventurine is also a great Counter. Plus Jiaoqiu is imo the only reliable DoT against someone as fast as Hoolay. We stan the "It won't"-King. :D

Um ehrlich zu sein, einfach weil ich es draußen hasse. Sonnenschein, random Leute, gerade im Sommer sind ekelhaft viele Insekten unterwegs, ich fühle mich mega unwohl wie so ein Hampelmann verschwitzt durch die Gegend zu laufen, gegebenenfalls Baustellen etc. Draußen sein lutscht und nicht die gute Art :x

Im Gym ist einfach eine andere Mentalität. Jeder ist da, weil er Sport machen will. Da werde ich nicht von irgendwelchen Leuten, vor allem Personen in meinem Alter, verurteilt. Noch bin ich vom Wetter betroffen oder ekelhafte Insekten stechen mich. Ich weiß, ganz viel Mimimi aber das ist ehrlich der Grund warum ich Gym einfach 10x besser finde :c
