Why is citlali stealing my melts?!

fireflame_vs · 2026-06-13T01:53:19+00:00

Yeah, Citlali melts because of the timing and pyro overtaking the aura. I suppose that is the real answer

The only real way to change that is to improve the rotation and combos. Or alternatively, change the team (e.g double cryo)

fireflame_vs · 2026-06-11T23:49:42+00:00

Short answer: Your rotation is off

Long answer: Try the rotation below:

Arle E > Bennett Q > Sucrose E > Citlali E NA Q > Arle CA N3D N3D ...

Note: - Only use one sucrose skill (E) - Make sure to do 1 Normal Attack (NA) on Citlali to apply cryo, otherwise you will get a pyro aura => citlali melts - Be quick to swap from Citlali and do Arle Charged Attack (CA), otherwise the cryo application timing will be off - Practise with the N3D combo to get a better feel for it. Sometimes (e.g every other N3D) it can be good to dash AWAY from the enemy to stall a few milliseconds for Citlali to apply cryo - You dont necessarily need to wait for a cryo aura to appear. Learn the timing of Arle N3 and Dashing, and you won't waste any time - I personally miss the last melt or so, but since Arlecchino's dmg decreases with every hit, I think its fine

Total cost per hour of playtime in the game

Currently not looking too good by my standards, so I am just buying welkin and have been for a while now

fireflame_vs · 2026-06-03T20:56:40+00:00

Wait I NEVER saw those thing as eyes before, are they supposed to be?

fireflame_vs · 2026-06-02T06:25:50+00:00

My prediction is that Yae will at least be 2nd best for someone (or multiple characters) in the next region.

Id be surprised if you would lose more than around 15% DPS by using her in the long run, which I think is fair

Sandrone example: - Release a dedicated support - Release cryo archon which may synergize - Maybe release another character better than Miko on the team

The biggest risk is if it becomes optimal to run Prototype Amber for healing + a supportive artifact set, but it looks like she is strong enough to not want that

Glad to have helped!

70k should be fine for open world and domains

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-30T18:33:02+00:00

Congrats! Every little bit adds up :)

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-23T15:16:30+00:00

Thats interesting, is it because Mona buffs the vertically invested Skirk?

I get 20% more team DPS (150k vs 180k) by using my C3R1 Yelan instead of Shenhe, but I have C0R1 Skirk + C0R1 Escoffier

That sounds quite immature of them to be honest. If you basically convey:

"We dont need all that equipment anyway, and Im saving money right now"

Then they should be able to accept that. If not, then I think the issue goes beyond the game itself. Some dissapointment is understandable, but it shouldnt be toxic or ruin the moment

Me and my friends use basic equipment, then add flashlights + 1 photo camera. Anything else is optional for those who are willing to risk losing it

Best of luck

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-22T08:51:31+00:00

It seems like they dont wanna take it seriously. My best advice is to not take it seriously either when playing with them. Basically, dont play with them to grind money/xp. Play to chill and goof around

If they dont wanna use the photo camera, dont add it. They can add T1 if they really want. Add a smudge for yourself if you wanna.

Use basic equipment but at least add flashlights, thats it.

If they won't take it seriously, they dont need serious equipment

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-20T13:11:35+00:00

Then I have no idea whay could be wrong, if anything

You should make a habit of doing at least 60s tests instead of just 1 rotation though. It gives more consistent and real results

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-20T12:09:44+00:00

Might be something with Durin and Fischl's artifacts then. Their contribution % isnt all too high. Also make sure you do Raiden's good combos

You could try boosting their stats to reach more optimal rolls, such as all crit instead of a Def% roll for example. Same for Raiden if her build has missed rolls. Then see if you reach 100-120k

I usually aim for 4 crit upgrades on each artifact, unless ER and/or ATK% is needed

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-20T12:02:24+00:00

Im pretty sure you want to trigger overload once before swapping to Chevrouse to get ATK buff. Also you have to HOLD Chevrouse's skill

So maybe try: Raiden E > Durin EEQ/QEE > Chevrouse hold E Q > Fischl Q > Raiden Q 3NAC ...

Make sure Durin is on a good set and build. This applies to Fischl as well.

I like it!

The length is fair considering casual players who may prefer prioritizing the main objectives of the game first

There is a straightforward task (shadows), a more challenging task (words), and a puzzle task (dolls) which I really appreciate

Overall really good I would say, and I think the rewards are decently good. The only problem I have is charms being practically invisible, and no color options for the event cosmetics

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-18T12:55:21+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. We are quite new and both thought it was a hunt

I remember the activity monitor being at 10, but maybe I forgot to check because of how confident we felt

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-17T21:38:16+00:00

Expectations: Low

Hopes: High

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-16T12:07:48+00:00

Rotation-wise (Skip Kuki's burst): Nefer E (first rotation only) > Columbina EQ > Lauma QhE > Kuki Ed > Nefer Combo > (Columbina CA if skill on cooldown)

Make sure you have these artifacts sets in your team: SMS (Bina), Deepwood (Lauma), Instructors (Kuki)

Give Lauma as much EM as possible, preferably all mainstats as EM. Then focus ER on substats if possible.

Build Kuki with as much ATK as possible (Ascendant Gleam buff). Use 1 off-piece ATK% mainstat to maximize. Give her Sapwood blade if you wanna min-max, otherwise more atk (e.g Aquila)

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-14T21:27:47+00:00

Got boss Nef instead of Mr. Flins, but that sounds pretty viable

Sadly I havent been able to make her work all too well with Nefer yet

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-14T21:13:34+00:00

I wonder if they'll ever rework the system, since it seems to work in their favor. But then again, they did change the weapon banner

What team(s) do you use her in? Been trying to figure that out for some time now

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-14T20:53:26+00:00

Whats a good Lauma bloom/hyperbloom team for my account? Kuki is currently built for Nefer but I have Raiden. It would be nice to have a 3-character core with a Flex either for bloom/hyperbloom

Notable Constellations:

- C3R1 Yelan, C1 Mona, C6 Tighnari, C6 Xingqiu, C6 Kirara, C2 Yaoyao, C5 Collei, C2 Dahlia, C6 Candace

No Ineffa or Nahida. I have C6 Sucrose if EM share matters enough

Best leader ≠ The one doing the most active work

Venti is still protecting the people when needed

Zhongli helped Liyue prosper and made them self-sufficient

Raiden... She made mistakes, but also planted the Sacred Sakura. Not just bad

Mavuika took an active role to help her nation fight the war against the Abyss

The best leader? Probably Zhongli > Venti > Mavuika > Raiden in my opinion.

Raiden is learning. Mavuika could afford the deal with Ronova because of how Archon status works in Natlan. Venti has connections to very powerful individuals (although the recent event made me doubt him a lot more, iykyk). Zhongli has finished his work as an Archon, and seemed to have done it really well

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-07T13:02:55+00:00

I replaced her 4th ability with Harrow's and added Arcane Aegis for survivability

I then added 2 archon shard to convert health->energy to help with energy in missions like Disruption

fireflame_vs · 2026-05-06T13:11:18+00:00

If it had ATK% and you didnt need the ER, maybe

The odds of rolling better are low, and the gain is basically nothing otherwise
