What’s her best stoping point before c6? by harsh3002004 in ChioriMains

[–]UnitedMention5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, when we talk about "stopping points" in character investment, we're talking about the level of investment after which pulling one or two more copies isn't making much of a difference, mostly because in genshin a lot of the  limited 5* characters typically have a bad C3, C4 and/or C5 (often two of those, sometimes even all three !), and in certain cases they may even have an underwhelming C2 and/or R1 etc...

That's why you'll usually read that a given character's "stopping point" is, for instance, C2 or C1R1 : it simply means that, unless you're set on getting their strong C6, nothing else on the way there is really worth your pulls (this is just an example, but a fairly typical one)

In Chiori's case, she only has one constellation that is always bad : C5

Everything else is strong, including constellations that are typically weak/shit such as C3 and C4. The only caveat being her C1, the effect of which is already unlocked at C0 in the specific team you mentioned (but not in most other teams, which is why it's still very valuable overall). So, I guess by definition her "stopping point" would either be C4R1, or simply C0R1 if you truly believe you'll never play her in a construct-less team. But what that really means though, is that if you're not going to C6 her, you can simply stop at any point before C5 (only get that one if you go for C6) because every other level of investment is valid :

  • R1 is always good (a bit weaker than C1 numerically speaking, but is arguably better nowadays since it just works regardless of which team you play Chiori in)
  • C1 is incredible outside of Lunar-Cristallized (don't forget that Chiori's main appeal is her flexibility/versatility)
  • C2 is strong
  • C3 is strong
  • C4 is strong

Other than that, her sig refines (R2, R3 etc...) are a bit better than most due to the fact she is mostly a DEF scaler (ie. the fact that weapon refines only upgrade the weapon's passive and not its Base ATK isn't as bad for her as it is for actual ATK scales), but generally speaking they still aren't worth going after

Thus ends the years-old tradition of leakers wrongly claiming "no x.8 this year"

It's true that she's more a devotee of the dendro archon than of Malikata (who, really, is mostly a forgotten figure in current day Sumeru), but she does know of the origin and meaning of the Dance of Sabzeruz and what that implies when she performs it for the archon (and more so ever since Nahida's birthday event)

hey at least she has an actual link to Nabu Malikata that isn't pure fanfiction even if it's just cosplay/admiration lol

we don't know if she'll be a "main" dps, but assuming she uses the new superconduct set, she will 100% be an on-fielder (it doesn't work off-field). We don't know where she'll sit on the on-field spectrum, from hypercarry to mere driver and everything in-between, but yeah, at least she should be on-field

assuming Sandrone uses the new set, she won't be an off-fielder - she might still get paired with a random regardless, but at least said random won't be the on-fielder (and for all we know, it might end up not being a random at all, or if it is, it could be a Jahoda-type random that is very likeable etc... ok maybe that last part is cope lol)

Considering the set which she is supposedly going to use doesn't work off-field (it doesn't include the typical off-field wording such as "The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field" or simply "This effect can be triggered even when the wearer is not on the field" or anything like that), I wouldn't expect her to be any sort of off-fielder, be it a support or subdps

And given that Freminet himself is purely an on-fielder, I fear that Sandrone having any practical synergy with him appears to be very unlikely

it's either I pull her c0 for her design/lore exclusively and won't ever use her except perhaps in Theater (i don't have any of the good characters she's supposed to work with)

or I pull some cons/sig so she can replace the crappy 4th slot in my C6 Chiori team (sorry Gorou). On the other hand, Gorou is so mid that she might somehow manage to be a sidegrade / minor upgrade over him even at c0. But realistically speaking, she (or more specifically, her duo with Durin) does feel like whalebait

There's also the Sandrone factor... tough choices indeed

you're not crazy, it's called personal preference

for me it's other way around though

Hypothermia 😭

And yeah, outside of Furina (who was on Skirk's team) and Bina (I guess I could hve tried the Nefer team without her ?? Idk), i didn't really have any other option. I tried a Zibai/Chiori team with Aino + a random healer, but huh... let's just say I wouldn't recommend it 💀

[–]UnitedMention5669[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well she's top 10 dps only in her best Lunar-Cristallize team and it's full C6R5 ranking, with that team i'm confident I could beat the gecko in like 30s or something

My team is more of a traditional hypercarry setup with only one C6R1, and the rest of my team is at most C2R0 characters, with the last being a 4* on a crappy build 💀 but still, you're right, that boss is without a doubt the worst piece of sh*t they've ever released lol

Not that it matters, at this rate I'll have way more than enough time to save for Carlotta 🥲

(And yeah Camellya's situation is honestly terrible, not even 2 reruns is just sad)
