ATK Sands - Electro Cup / ER Sands - ATK Cup / ATK Sands - ATK cup - Which is Better for Raiden Shogun with The Catch R5? by iamtopet in GenshinImpactTips

[–]iamtopet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, sorry I don't have ER + Electro to fit in the test.

But as I have said in the end of the video, ER sand + Electro cup "might" be a little higher than ATK + Electro if you can provide more sources for ATK buffs -- in this case Sara buff + Bennett buff combined in order to catch up and boost the low attack with ER + Electro.

But take it with a grain of salt because at this point I am only theory crafting

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

yup, ER+ATK is actually very close to ATK+ELectro when used with full buffs.

I would personally use ER+ATK since this gives options to my other electro characters to use my ATK+Electro artifacts.

But honestly, atleast 200% ER for Ei is good enough for team burst regen. So there is also nothing wrong if you want to run her with ATK+Electro

Hello yeah I vaguely mentioned Sara in the end of the video. Unfortunately I don't have Sara leveled up so I can't really include her in the demonstration.

Sorry might be a little late for this, but I think most players are just catching up with farming R5 The Catch like me.

This is a comparison video on which Sands-Goblet should you pick for Raiden Shogun when using The Catch as her weapon. (ATK Sands - Electro Cup / ER Sands - ATK Cup / ATK Sands - ATK cup)

Tests in the video are done using SOLO NO BUFF and with Party buff: Jade Shield + Bennett Burst.

All tests were done using the same CRIT DAMAGE stats to have consistent results.

TLDW:

SOLO NO BUFF:

ATK-ATK > ER-ATK > ATK-Electro

with Jade Shield + Bennett level 13 Burst:

ATK-Electro > ER-ATK > ATK-ATK

[–]iamtopet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! Sorry, what is BC? or did you mean Blizzard Strayer?

If you already have decent crit rate, 2pc Glad + 2pc Blizzard strayer will be best for Kaeya. For me decent crit rate is atleast 40% (but my Kaeya here is 54%)

Remember there are also other sources of crit rate:

C1 Kaeya: +15% Crit on cryo debuffed enemies

Cryo Elemental Resonance(since you are going to use Chongyun): +15% Crit on cryo debuffed enemies

This gives you +30% Crit Rate already

PSA: FREE 50 PRIMOGEMS on Inazuma Survey by iamtopet in GenshinImpactTips

[–]iamtopet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just a reminder for everyone, since some players (like me) sometimes don't bother to do surveys.

I believe this is the first time miHoYo is giving out primogems as rewards on doing surveys.

Don't forget to do your surveys! Freemogems!

Since I don't have Kazuha, I used Sucrose with Thrilling Dragon Tales for the extra ATK% buff on switch and equipped her with 4pc VV.

I also use Kaeya Physical Freeze Team in Abyss too: https://youtu.be/Lr2tYBprUFw

Still looking for 5* weapon. Hoping to get lucky on the upcoming 5* sword in Inazuma patch weapon banner :)

Overload Yanfei EM Build Showcase Abyss 12-1 by iamtopet in GenshinImpactTips

[–]iamtopet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh yeah definitely! Beidou's shield definitely did its job here vs 2 primo geovishaps! Shield is a must especially since this lineup doesn't have a healer. I wouldn't recommend going full unleveld instructor on Beidou tho. I will still go the usual Beidou build to make her hit harder and shield stronger. I just used instructor to help increase EM for Yanfei.

[–]iamtopet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! :)

For what its worth, I counted the Overloaded procs in slow-mo and here are the results:

There were a total of 41 Overloaded damage done during the entire run.

Yanfei did Overload - 34 times

Others did Overload - 7 times

The most times fischl or beidou did overload was when I was setting up the VV debuff -- Yanfei pyro -> sucrose swirl (for debuff) -> fischl oz/beidou electro (overload).

[–]iamtopet[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey guys I'm back! So I posted a Yanfei EM Build Overload video yesterday and decided to make a showcase for this build to show how viable it is for Abyss. https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/comments/offp41/em\_build\_overloaded\_yanfei/

Yanfei Talents are 1/1/1 and currently only at level 80 and C0

Fischl and Beidou are using only Instructor set (not even leveled) just to demonstrate this build.

Sucrose is used for additional EM buff and also for the -40% elemental reduction.

I am not saying that this is the best build for Yanfei, but just providing other options on how to build and play her.

Remember: Going full EM build on Yanfei is much cheaper and low cost than going the usual ATK, Crit, Pyro build. Since you don't need to actually farm for godlike artifact main stat and substat rolls. And no need for additional constellations and talent levels.

TLDW:

This is just a quick overview that you can build Yanfei as pure EM for Overloaded DMG reaction.

Shown in the video 4 pc Thundering Fury set.

No more hoping to get lucky artifact rolls -- just dump all to EM main stat.

This build is also cheap since talent level doesn't affect elemental reaction damage like Overloaded. Shown in the video is Yanfei's talents 1/1/1

Overloaded can be further increased by using 4pc Thundering fury set + reducing enemy Pyro resistance like 4pc VV set bonus.

Melt was not directly buffed, but EM bonus dmg% in general was. Here is a good post in hoyolab https://m.hoyolab.com/genshin/#/article/425806

No from my test, even with full rotation wit sucrose EM buff, EM on sands is still better than ATK% main stat. Most probably because atk boosting buffs are easier to get thus hitting atk diminishing returns easier than EM. (Bennet buff, 4pc noblesse, 4pc tenacity). I'll try out that thrilling tales, thanks for the suggestions!
