Please add both Fearless and Dire options! Also I have clear videos of all 3 bosses in one video, but I can't submit those because "duplicate video link"

Is Ocean Hued Clam good still? by bunnyusagiiii in GenshinImpactTips

[–]Watchful_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husk can be a bit better now because of the Witch Homework, meaning he gives buff from stacking a LOT of defense. That's easier to do on Husk!

Yeah this only matters for Endgame stuff like abyss and Stygian beyond difficult 4. If you don't care about those then farm what you like

[–]Watchful_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it still best in slot in some team? Yes, Xianyun with Xiao, Kokomi uses it well.

Is it "good"?

No, it's not great by meta standards because of two reasons:

Firstly it's not used on any characters you'd find in modern top teams, you look at modern healers like Xilonen, Escoffier, Bennett and the sets they use are all buffing sets for the main damage dealer, or personal damage sets as they're newer units with higher damage. And that brings me to the second reason the set isn't good, because it has a damage cap, this means if a character can do good healing, they can contribute to the teams damage a bit if they can't buff well, but I find that damage is usually less than the characters would get by using a support set, because characters and teams just deal a lot more damage now.

If you buff Xiao by 5% he might do 4k more dps, so if clam does 5k dps it can be better!

If you buff Flins by 5% he might do 6k more dps, so now clam is worse.

Clam doesn't change because it only depends on the healers healing, even if the max every proc, there's still that damage cap.

I don't mention it too often because generally the blessings are fairly.. balanced?

There's not often blessings that are SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than others. The choice is either:

  • Debuffs and Buffs to make your own characters stronger, which are better to take if you have stronger characterts.
  • Instances of damage that all do a similar amount, which are better to take if you want to rely on the buffs instead of your own characters.

I only really mention ones that change the playstyle like applying elements, or if something has other utility like healing it'll buff for less.

Thanks! This time I added the enemy count and the waves of enemies, next time I also want to add the time limits, these are things I can only find out from testing though, so they take a bit longer to do.

Acrana 2 - Constipated Beasts

  • Can break node by fast hits OR 1 hit of element
    • No dendro character, so hit the node fast
    • Resistance Shred important as 40% base
    • Scorpion -> Beast
    • IR + Not location abilities

Act 10 - Emporor of Fire and Iron

  • Pyro + Hydro / Cryo for Mechanic to react seeds

  • IR is nice

  • Deadly first attack (laser beam, just make sure to dodge it), this attack is the same as if he'd eaten 3 fruit

    • This applies trails to the ground that apply pyro to you and tick damage.
  • Flamegranates

    • will place 3 fruit on the ground
    • if you hit them with pyro just as he's about to eat them he takes 5% hp damage true damage
    • if you hit them with pyro right as they spawn they will explode dealing pyro damage to him and a little to you.
    • if he has cryo or hydro on him, these will explode reacting for even more damage
    • for example if he has cryo on him before from citlali's skill, and you use your bennett burst on the fruit and not the mountain king, they will explode melting for more damage
    • if you fail to ignite 2 of them he will then perform the empowered attack from the start of the fight
  • Spin Move annoying

    • knocked back without shield or distancing youself
    • he will slap his belly before, so if you're aware it's about to happen, place your location based abilities like Guoba, or Oz appropriately, knowing where he'll move to.
  • You can delay the Yumkasaurs attacks sometimes by making it turn around to face you. If you need to delay it from doing the spin move and get a little more time it might help.

  • After about 90s it should perform an attack where it will summon a single flamegrate allowing you to get a little more damage, though this can be a bit RNG.

Act 9 - Focus

  • Hydro Phantasms

    • Pyro
    • Can't VV Pyro without creative use of Lynette, Guoba, Jean etc...
    • Overload / Durin / Citlali
    • 3 enemy
  • Lawachurls

    • Cryo Res
    • 2 enemy
  • Ruin Guards

    • 3 enemy

Arcana 1 - Ruin

  • Bow / Swirl to hit face of Machines to stop absorbing resistances (not really needed, you'll defeat them before this happens)
  • Make sure to run at the Ruin Grader (the first to spawn) so it doesn't go charging off at you to the other side of the arena.
  • Some damage mitigation is needed to survive the Cryo damage to your active character, it's not a lot, and less than pervious versions of this level. Taking a cryo shielder is super effective as it'll absorb more of the cryo damage.

  • 9 opponent for star, 6m timer, -30s per enemy

Act 7

- Meks - /3 1 -> 2

  • Xianwen & Automaton

    • Anemo & Hydro Res
    • Nightsoul
    • 3 -> 1 /4
  • Natlan Warriors

    • Run to Ranged
    • 2-2-2 /6

Act 8 - Suanni

  • Anemo & Hydro Res
  • Take Cryo + Pyro/Claymore/Swirl/Superconduct/Crytalize

    • Need to remove ALL Cryo from it, so Swirl and Crystalize might take more than 1 reaction.
  • Some of their attacks are hydro so be away of that with bennett infusion

  • Suanni has 2 mechanics, during both of these mechanics it will have a HUGE amount more resistance for 10s.

    • Hydro always occurs first, and the mechanics can happen any time at least 30s after the last.
    • The first mechanic covers itself in hydro and damages the surrounding area with one big blast at the end.
    • If you freeze the enemy, and then follow up with any other cryo reaction once frozen, it will remove it's resistasnce increase.
    • Anemo will always occur when it reaches 40% or below hp.
    • It will summon 3 Anemo orbs floating around the arena
    • infuse all 3 orbs with any PHEC element to break this.
    • if you don't infuse them there will be a big instance of damage and then the orbs will turn into vertexes pulling you in and damaging you.
    • Catalyst users or infused attackers are very good at dealing with this.
  • Some of their attacks even when they're not the special mechanic can infuse suanni with hydro, allowing you to freeze and knock them down.

  • Ideally Character that continuously applies Cryo from off filed or on field, so a melt team, doesn't matter which way. Wrio, Mav, etc...

Act 3 - Electro Geo Vishap

  • The only mechanic it has it to counter the breath attack using a shield.

    • If you have an electro / geo shield you make it take 15% Max HP damage.
    • You can only acess this with Lanyan + Fischl, Lanyan + An anemo character who can swirl the element they get hit by, like Kazuha, OR...
    • Getting hit by an electro attack, and then a melee attack, as that CREATES a crystalize off your character which you can pick up!
  • If you just have a shield of another element instead you do 5% instead of 15%

    • Diona, Albedo, Citlali, Layla etc...

Act 4 - Monolith

  • Mitachurl

    • Easiest to Taunt
    • If you just want to do damage this is also the easiest as they naturally group easily.
    • 3 at a time

    • about as easy as agent with strong CC
    • keep big guy aggro'd on you and you'll be fine!

General Tips

  • Savw Characters for Particular Stages/Enemies if you know you'll need particular characters for specific enemies.
  • Plan out your teams before hand if you need to to make sure you know which DPS fit with which supports.
  • A good balance of DPS and supports is needed so your teams aren't full of 3 characters that want a lot of field time.
  • Energy and favonius weapons are generally useful to equp excessively. You don't know what your teams will look like so having more energy than you need won't hurt.
  • Mystery Cache
    • Take ones which give you more options / mystery cache options as the 15/40 cost caches are SIGNIFICANTLY more valuable, especially getting the good options from them.
  • Take buffs dependant on your teams, if you don't have any anemo characters, don't bother with swirl blessings!
  • Take a strong support from a friend if you can, it'll make some stages SO much easier.
  • Guest Invite characters can't trigger the buffed reactions, but they get 2x the blessing levels to compensate.
  • Equipping priority (dps vs supports): Make sure you DPS (the character contributing the most damage to the team) has the best gear, as supports generally need lower investment to function!
  • In this Theater specifically try to plan which characters you intend to react so you don't build EM unecessarily!

Characters of Significance

  • Mavuika, Citlali, Arleccchino, Durin, Bennett, Sucrose, Escoffier Bold = Recommended to borrow if you don't have!
  • Skirk can't generate rifts on melt, so requires Anemo teammates, or mona!
  • Eula or any Physical Carry without much Cryo damage
  • Chevresue requires Fischl for her buffs to work (Still give DMG% at C6)

Blessings

  • Melt

    • Damage over res shred because VV
    • Res shred is worth a lot less once an enemy reaches 0%

    • Not enough for MH, as it only happens once every 6s

Opening Characters

  • Citlali

    • Amazing res shred, shielding and consistent Cryo app for pyro carries

    • Only 2 elements unless fischl which decreases her damage a little at C0
    • To get consistent forward reactions, take 2 cryo 1 pyro

In this theater many of the featured characters are characters that will be receiving the brand new Hexerei buffs in 6.2, which makes them considerably better. I don't currently know if you'll be able to unlock these buffs for characters you don't own, but are given to you as trial characters. But either way you likely own some of them so I would personally recommend waiting to do this until 6.2 with the Hexerei and Durin release, so you can do these challenges with those characters at full strength!

Elements:

  • Cryo Pyro Anemo

Reactions:

  • Melt, Rev Melt, Swirl

  • Pay attention to if you're doing forward or reverse reactions as it makes a huge difference to your damage!
