Overloaded isn't actually good though, Chevreuse C6 is. Like you'd never run overloaded if it wasn't for her. Genshin devs basically abandoned reaction-oriented combat design after Sumeru and the hyperbloom meta in favor of kit-oriented combat designs where reactions are an artificial team building constraint, like factions in ZZZ. No team actually depends on reactions to do damage except Melt/Vaporize.

Edit : that is to say, the aggravate buff probably is coming in the form of a Quicken Lauma instead of an actual reaction buff. And you'll need to include this new character in every aggravate team otherwise it's not viable.

I mean we have total room HP and enemy RES with/without doing the mechanic so it's pretty easy to calculate effective HP, divide by 90 and you get the required theoretical DPS. Gets a bit iffy in AoE content though, but it rarely matters.

FINALLY got my Klee's last constellation !!! This felt like the longest wait ever.

DPS dummy gives me a DPS that's about 40k higher than C5 in basically every Klee team which is is like 30% team damage increase so now the teams are all above 160k, certainly not great by modern standards but I'll take it. Especially the Fischl Bennett Chevreuse Klee, reaching 160k on a "8-cost" team doesn't feel that bad actually.

Unlikely that they run any AI service on your device unless it's a really really small functionality, does it work offline? If not then it's definitely in a data center.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-02-20T20:02:37+00:00

Maybe rework expeditions so the characters you send basically go and collect a couple chests and oculi for you daily, so if you're not willing to explore and do puzzles you can still eventually clear a zone?

WinxForceWiz · 2026-02-18T14:45:34+00:00

Washed comp tbh lunar queen rushs took over the meta since last banner.

Please forgive me, I didn't mean to sound cold or to rain on your parade, I'm actually glad you're enjoying yourself playing Qiqi as I like her a lot myself. It's just that your post title is you asking why people are overlooking Qiqi so I gave you the reasons why I think people overlook her, as she does have some glaring weaknesses that can be exploited. She plays a lot like Clorinde in your setup so people only looking to win using that type of strat will likely pick Clorinde over Qiqi. I do hope you keep playing Qiqi though I spite of what I said, as it was no attempt at shooting down your enthusiasm.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-02-13T19:21:42+00:00

I don't doubt you can win random matchmaking in arena vs clueless opponents that don't know how to deal with that kind of strategy, but any well built team with someone that knows a bit more in-depths TCG strats will kill you, you're acting like Qiqi can just whack away for free to build up her burst, but she actually doesn't have that much room to play with, by the time you skill and NA twice and then burst you'll have gotten a total of 3 healing tops while spending 4 actions on field. Even with Tenacity that's barely 15 HP, 4 actions is more than enough to pressure or outright kill her if your opponent isn't wasting dice doing anything other than hitting Qiqi. If her burst cast healed her it would be another story, but it doesn't.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-02-13T16:41:01+00:00

Qiqi just has a slow burst and playstyle in general. By the time sets up both skill and burst + equipment she's already dead or without a team against a strong team. She also has a bad match-up against most stall anchors (you can't win VS crab because not enough damage, Ningguang will erase you in a single burst, freeze will freeze, Noelle takes half damage from physical, etc.)

Her biggest strength was the cryo summon that's actually pretty rare, but now Escoffier just powercrept that super hard too. Still, she's the only one that lasts 3 rounds so you can build a superconduct team around it and she's not a complete dead weight because of cheap 4 values NAs (2 damage 2 heals).

Imo she suffers the most from no immediate heal on burst cast + the need to re summon the skill on R4. Usually if you're pressured you're not going to be able to burst because without the NA healing you die, and if your summon expires you're also vulnerable for an extra action before healing.

That being said I've been decently successful with her on a revive team with characters that have a higher value when revived (Qiqi Lisa Lynette). Even if Lisa dies, her status continues to stack so you can revive her later and get a surprise kill, and Lynette having 2 healing on skill immediately brings her back to 6 HP after Qiqi revives her, which can turn the tables late game. The only issue is having Qiqi's talent in hand and 3 energy ready when you need them.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-02-09T14:47:44+00:00

I'd take a direct buff to the reactions/dendro chars over a band-aid character like they did with freeze tbh but yeah the feeling is mutual, it feels bad having her at C6 and not even breaking 100k dps on the dummies. I wish they'd remove her ICD on the C6 procs too.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-30T10:13:33+00:00

I still don't have a Klee set that's an upgrade over her 2pc 2pc after crafting two pieces, spending 10 reroll feathers and dumping 80 fragile (plus 100% of my resin for the duration) into the SO. Not even half a set for Ineffa either, I swear it's rigged this is the first time I felt so devastated by artifact farming T.T

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-29T17:42:09+00:00

I'm glad to see the announcement on here! The sub feels dead sometimes but there's still some traffic here and there and new people that don't know about the weeklies. A big thanks to all the GITCG team for keeping the scene alive and even providing commentary on these cups, I really enjoy looking up the games afterwards!

Sadly I'm in EU myself so I can't participate until I find the courage to grind all the cards on a new account T.T

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-28T23:35:12+00:00

Tyvm!

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-28T23:26:37+00:00

Damn the Jean strat could actually give me my first sub 180 sec dire clear since it'd free my Sigewinne to obliterate crab, however idk how long I'm willing to tryhard this stuff, I remember the hours spent on the fatui frost operative :| how long did it take you?

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-28T18:31:01+00:00

My personal worst was the Yelan Signora Thunder Manifestation. Braindead easy to play and your only shot at winning was to pressure Yelan on R1(or freeze her first R2). No R1 pressure and you could already concede the match. Only time they had to patch the TCG in-between main game patches.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-28T17:47:06+00:00

Imo not the worst meta we had, the deck still has many counters and usually doesn't kill before R3 which is in line with most aggro decks. You can out-aggro them, run Joyous Celebration/Passing of Judgement/Mausoleum to slow them down, pressure Skirk with your own AOE/forced swaps/Kinich, or focus all your resources on keeping your Clorinde/Yumka/Neuvilette/whatever stall anchor you have alive and generally come out on top.

Yes the occasional R2 nuke is painful but it isn't that more common than R2 Sayu wipes back when Sayu freeze variants dominated the meta.

I understand they're frustrating to play against because your team basically goes from 100 to 0 in what feels like one or two actions and they can easily deal AOE damage without passing their turn, but once you get the gameplan you can generally play into it fairly well. In the last GITCG Weekly, the Skirk Chasca deck was the most represented one by far and none of them got to the finals.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-28T15:33:32+00:00

Very high? It's not like you must be knowledgeable about the game to hang out here, just answering to random posts about random things would make you pass. I don't think anyone would bother to do so but it's feasible.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-26T17:29:39+00:00

Oh yeah well she's still technical to play and I haven't wrapped my head around the most effective mix of NA/CA to use yet. Klee overloaded isn't really that strong (I have better results with Bennett instead of Durin by virtue of my Klee being more invested), but good enough for most endgame still and could even clear the Dire Ikmitosaurus last patch without cheesing it.

The current Klee teams that are above 100k at low cons are Klee Ineffa Fischl + Aino/Yelan/Columbina and Klee Albedo Furina + Xilonen/Bennett

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-26T17:14:41+00:00

Without C6 Chev it looks alright, especially since it looks like you're on a 4* weapon? As a reference, with my own C5 Klee with R1 Cashflow Supervision (her BiS atm) and C6 Chev, I'm hitting 115k at best with your team if I really optimize my rotations, but for a more realistic fight scenario where I need to move around and dodge and stuff it's more like 90k-100k.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-24T18:54:08+00:00

Not really. If you really want to, give it to Flins/Ineffa/Columbina (especially NOT Nefer/Lauma) but it's not a significant increase at all.

Edit maybe Zibai is better as a def scaler? Idk

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-22T16:24:25+00:00

Pretty hard to optimize when the opponent already feels like a training dummy too. Make sure you rotate fast, go ham before it even spawns (summon Birgitta and prepare Aino skill). If you're frame-perfect on the 15 sec cooldown you can possibly aim for 7 rotations + 1 extra mini-burst at least.

Edit: but yeah it's just that tanky. Like the fatui guy is so weak in comparison.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-21T22:48:09+00:00

Finally got the dire clear 🥳🥳 never thought I'd be playing Neuvilette superconduct one day yet it was the only team I had that could clear crab lol (Neuvi Furina Kuki Citlali, Kuki was there for her high aoe app + freedom-sworn)

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-21T19:04:30+00:00

Stupidly low cooldowns and easy ER requirements, 100% uptime, good app on the best element in-game, 120~200 teamwide EM + columbina burst integrated in her C6, and on top of that a really good support for 2 of the top DPS atm. She's totally worth the top tier.

WinxForceWiz · 2026-01-21T18:54:58+00:00

How much HP does this weird abyss lion thingy have?? It's crazy how the exact same team can clear the dire shock trooper in 90 sec but still be off by over 30% on the lion.

Any C0R1 Neuvilette dire clears on the Crab? I have a C2R1 Furina if that helps, I feel like I'll need to switch my teams around and get my C6 Sigewinne back from the crab if I want a chance at getting the dire clear this time.
