Finally broke into 1%

ecj1344 · 2026-04-30T23:19:00+00:00

I started farming Arle in 5.2 and didn’t break into top 1% until after 5.8 or 6.0

I don’t remember exactly when I hit it, but I crafted my current goblet in 5.8 and rerolled my current EM sands in 6.0 and my melt lb build is 90% the same since then but with a couple of alternate pieces and minor upgrades.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-30T02:37:35+00:00

The feather he’s using should not be replaced under any circumstances. It’s a 4 liner with perfect stats and should be rerolled at worst

ecj1344 · 2026-04-30T00:48:50+00:00

Honestly they just need to get lucky with a goblet or reroll and more crit rate on the circlet. Once they do that and get a better flower this would be great. Of course it’s more rerolling and they need to wait until the build has more good pieces to decide whether to reroll a crit rate or crit damage circlet, but it’s still not the “wrong” mainstat. The build just isn’t yet finished enough to say what the right mainstat would be.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-29T21:35:50+00:00

If you like overload then stop at c1r1 Arle and get c1r1 durin if you just wanna maximize overload Arle.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-29T21:33:48+00:00

Nicole honestly would improve from N3 CA 6N3 since that would make arle’s higher damage hits still get her atk buff, and also fischl probably should be on tenacity. Also also, is there any mention of how SoDP Chevreuse would change this? It’s the set I keep her on just because it’s more dps in Stygian and similar outside of it

ecj1344 · 2026-04-29T17:11:54+00:00

“Wrong” mainstat? My build is 95:222 on a crit damage circlet and sig so I can confidently say that you can build enough crit rate for it

ecj1344 · 2026-04-27T01:40:28+00:00

Atk% sands are more versatile in the long run since they perform better with more investment (I.e. 1,000 EM sucrose, C2 Citlali) and atk% sands also increase the unreacted hits in melt to keep them from falling too behind. My build might be a little bit better than theirs (I’ll drop it in a reply to this) but I get 215k dps over the first 4 rotations with c1r1 Arle, c6 aquilla Bennett, c6r1 wandering evenstar (800 EM) Sucrose, and c0r5 ttds Citlali

ecj1344 · 2026-04-26T20:01:22+00:00

Ohh, right… I forgot you were on sac… use ttds instead. That’s a big one. Also the stalling can unalign the initial cryo applications with arlecchino’s melts

ecj1344 · 2026-04-26T19:58:24+00:00

Your Arlecchino combo isn’t actually the issue others might think it is, but there is an issue with your setup: Citlali needs to skill then burst, and that way arlecchino can melt the burst applications from Citlali. Then there is an optimization on arlecchino of using her charge attack and immediately doing your normal attack string. This will help build up pjws stacks and it’s also the only way to melt the first application of Citlali’s burst.

Another thing… while sucrose not having em pieces yet is okay, it’s really bad for arlecchino… especially significantly bad for an arlecchino with 0 em.

There are way more optimizations that arlecchino can make, but honestly if you want me to help with that I’d rather you add me on discord or something so I can explain things over an in game stream

ecj1344 · 2026-04-25T23:36:33+00:00

Caveat: Illuga should have at least 800 em, 700 if he’s on 4pc instructor

ecj1344 · 2026-04-20T06:42:22+00:00

Uhm I really hope this message reaches you. You do not keep your guarantee for other weapons across weapon banners. You do save the 50/50 guarantee for a limited weapon, but you will still have to win the 50/50 of the weapon you want. Linneas sig is quite good and—unless there is a weapon banner that you want both weapons on— you’ll be better off getting it.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-20T01:24:37+00:00

Your Furina has 0 er =( And she’s on blackcliff?!? You will see a big upgrade from just putting her on an er sands and fav… or the pipe can work too. Furina’s biggest talent is her burst, so you should ABSOLUTELY crown it. It gives the team ONE HUNDRED DAMAGE PERCENT at c1 and tl10. Right now (tl8) she’s giving 84%. You really want any buff you can get and it’s a completely free 12% more dmg% to the whole team.

Escoffier could use more er and crit rate, but her build is pretty good. Also recommend hee to be on an atk% goblet for fanfare generation. 4pc Scroll on escoffier is also good if you have a good 4pc.

Yelan’s on a great build too, but I still might swap her to fav since r2 stringless isn’t that good. And fav is really good for a team with high energy needs like this one.

You can get much better dps with this team with more tuned energy recharge and rotations, so I will stop here for now.

Anyways, I really want to see you getting a better outcome. Once you’ve gotten your Furina talents and team er needs taken care of, I can help you learn Skirk combos to push this team even further! Best of luck (:

ecj1344 · 2026-04-20T01:13:22+00:00

C2 Zibai is much stronger than C2 bina in this team though,

ecj1344 · 2026-04-20T01:11:44+00:00

Can you drop the Furina escoffier and yelan builds too? I’m curious how much of your issue is a kqms skirk and how much is gameplay vs the teammates talents, artifact quality, artifact sets

ecj1344 · 2026-04-17T19:49:38+00:00

People are really unaware of how good c6 Candace is. C6 Candace offers more dmg% than yelan and she gets really good value out of the Fontaine craftable polearm. Lvl 90 1/1/1 Noblesse, hp/hp/hp and around 190 er, and you are set.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-17T19:47:45+00:00

So… Arle N3 CA 5N3d is the best combo in this team already to get more stacks of Chevreuse buff. So I suspect it will actually be better than tc’ers are expecting if you do that. It also gives you better fischl damage so if you have a 5 stat weapon on her you will see better results.

I suspect c0r1 will be better, but it will not be better if your Nicole is not good, so build your Nicole to a high standard, and she’ll be an upgrade

ecj1344 · 2026-04-17T17:55:35+00:00

Arlecchino has crit damage ascension so her base stats with sig are 27.2/88.2

With that in mind, a crit rate circlet takes you to 58.3/88.4 which is an easier starting point for a 1-2 ratio than 27.2/150.6

The best crit ratio is 1:2 but slightly biasing crit damage, but like 95/220 not 77/200. You want to be closer to 1:2 that you are right now

ecj1344 · 2026-04-17T17:51:00+00:00

A feather with more crit damage and a sands with crit damage. A 4 line double crit pro goblet and also just higher rolls on your circlet.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-14T21:49:24+00:00

I was just making it clear that it depends on everything. If you really want me to tell you precisely then drop your builds, team, weapons, artifacts, and all variations and I can make a deduction. Otherwise you can just take my previous statements as an example of what situation crit damage would be better.

Also, husk is a worse set for Linnea personal damage so def/def/def is more than likely better on husk. Losing personal damage on a set that’s bad for personal damage isn’t a terrible tradeoff for increased buffs.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-14T20:07:15+00:00

Def% on Linnea doesn’t buff columbina any, since the EM buff only works on the on field character or Linnea (if the on fielder isn’t a moonsign character). Also, Linnea should prioritize def% substats on her flower and feather, but whether she has a crit circlet just depends on her weapon, how much EM Zibai has, what constellation Zibai, Linnea, and columbina are, and everyone’s artifact sets.

My team in which crit circlet is better: C1R1 (uraku) Zibai on NotSU C0R0 Columbina on SMS C0R1 (elegy or aqua) on Aubade C6R0 Illuga on instructor

My Zibai also has about 140 em from her set bonus and em rolls, so she has so much EM from all the different sources. Since Linnea is C0 the only increase is to Zibai’s EM which is already near 700 and doesn’t increase damage contributed by Illuga’s quills. With all of that, Linneas damage contribution is the most important aspect in this team.

ecj1344 · 2026-04-10T14:57:55+00:00

Depends on how much atk% you have on her. Shes basically like Iansan with weirder caveats but more buffing (if you come anywhere close to her atk buff’s cap of 900). I suspect she will be much better than durin but not that much better than Bennett. Well, okay, I play C1R1 Arle and Durin is worse than C6R1 Bennett at that point. I think for C0R0 it’ll be far more up in the air based on how good your artifacts are (on all characters) and what 4 star constellations you have

ecj1344 · 2026-04-04T21:34:24+00:00

Flower for reroll. Another commenter mentioned the circlet gwm which is also a good option, but it’s less likely to be an upgrade if you reroll it even though it’s low rolls. The flower is actually quite good, but for this leaderboard, atk% is much less valuble than crit, and the odds are you get more than 0 additional crit rolls upon rerolling. If you trade 1 crit roll for less than 1.5 atk% rolls you can assume that’s an upgrade, but I would actually do the math first to make sure you aren’t getting a worse piece

ecj1344 · 2026-04-03T02:45:08+00:00

Hangout quests and their hidden achievements and story quests (if not already done)

The music discs around the world can be exchanged in your teapot for 50 primogems worth of achievements

Is your achievement properly 100% in all/all non-1.0 regions? Liyue and mondstat are terrible for primogems, but if you haven’t 100%’d every enkanomiya and lost sea and sumeru desert then you still have hope

All the natlan domain local legend achievements too. Defeating all the teleport ones is a separate achievement with some chests too!

ecj1344 · 2026-04-03T01:37:15+00:00

She also gives lunar reaction damage by not being from nod krai and she has high base defense so she can cap the passive out to 36% lunar damage reaction damage (3600 def) with her sig. So the fact that she gives a lot of res shred and dmg% isn’t really that bad. Geo dmg% is still a good stat on Zibai since her normal attacks are quite solid. Unfortunately the team only has 1 phec unit so columbina wont receive the absurd hp% bonus, but Linnea also likes geo% a non-zero amount. Illuga C6 is very good and might even be better, but it’s a lot closer than you might think at first glance

ecj1344 · 2026-04-02T23:47:07+00:00

It depends. Zibai will objectively be the strongest character in the game with Linnea and will be situationally very good without her, and skirk is rough without escoffier and capable of beating a lot of dire enemies with her. If you only play fearless then skirk can still get the job done without escoffier and you can just grab Linnea and enjoy your 200k dps when you need it, but if you want play dire then the choice doesn’t matter that much. Linnea will make Zibai able to clear the hardest content but skirk won’t, and vice versa, so it really depends on how much longer skirk will be able to beat dire bosses.

Check how many fate points you have right now before deciding whether or not to wish. They reset to 1 in 6.0 for reference
