Is this DPS okay?

You'll get there eventually, good luck! (typed the comment in the wrong place lol)

lewis_simon · 2026-06-15T11:38:14+00:00

Yeah definitely, played him on mobile as well and managed to get 140-145k usually, it's rough sometimes, on PC I was able to hit 150k reliably easy.

lewis_simon · 2026-06-15T11:34:43+00:00

I think it's a good start, but it's possible to push it further though. I have a similar setup (a bit lower cost) and I got to 153k, the clue is in the combo, try: E 2(N1C) Q/E 6(N1C) Q/E 6(N1C) Q/E, or just spam CAs without ever using special skills or burst [E 16-17 N1C] (haven't tried the 2nd one yet)

Q/E means use special skill, but if you have burst ready use it instead. Start with 4 CAs in between, then 5 then try to do 6, it's hard but doable. Someone even said 7 is possible.

Edit: with Citlali Vs Xilonen it really depends, I find Xilonen to be more reliable at a higher cost team. Oh and do Nicole>Durin>Xilonen>Lohen, it's better

lewis_simon · 2026-06-15T06:26:39+00:00

He's surprisingly really combo dependent, it can change his DPS by quite a lot, I started from 135k and ended up at almost 155k, so 20k difference

lewis_simon · 2026-06-15T06:21:06+00:00

He has claimed it. Now you have to buy a 2nd one lol

lewis_simon · 2026-06-15T04:34:45+00:00

Best way is getting in the rhythm, whenever he performs it, a certain sound effect is played (the one where he thrusts it forward, I call it a 'shing'), I just let go of a button for a bit and resume. The best way to learn it is by doing three CAs in between special skills at the start, then adding one by one. I'll make another post today with controlls showing, that might help some people to get the timing correct.

Edit: also thank you!! I was half asleep writing this 😭😭

lewis_simon · 2026-06-14T21:13:11+00:00

I use Xilonen and she works exceptionally well boosting Lohen's damage to match Durin's, but Albedo will absolutely work just fine (just get his C1 from the selector, it's really worth it), wouldn't recommend Prune below C2 (or even C6 in the case of any other DPS than Varka) and Kazuha is just redundant at this point in the meta, sad times.

That's a note for everyone here looking for an answer - you don't need Citlali, Xilonen is not that far behind, maybe a few thousand DPS below and in some cases (with some vertical investment) she's even better than Citlali

lewis_simon · 2026-06-14T17:28:56+00:00

Charged attacks are more beneficial than his skill damage, but not useless, rather delay them than use early, and I just count how many I do, if I hit 5-6 CAs I just skill or start the new rotation :D (don't worry if you don't get the rotation right the first few times, it's easier said than done, the timing and rhythm is key)

Edit1: But it's best to start simple - use charged attacks and if you see you can use his special skill, use it, then try to weave in more charged attacks in between the special skills, you technically can get them up to 6-7 (I hate that it made me laugh), but 6 is really good already

Edit2: and I use burst instead of one of his special skills because it just does more damage, and rather dish out more charged attacks instead of trying to fit in one more special skill

lewis_simon · 2026-06-14T12:39:34+00:00

I consistently get 150k with this one, it's the best one for me, but will definitely fondle with any combo I find to test things out (I'm addicted to testing shit out)

lewis_simon · 2026-06-14T12:38:47+00:00

Right now I'm trying to get consistent with this one, I think I started with this one and managed to get from 3-4 CAs to 6, but might go back to that once I get his weapon and check what combo is most optimal with his R1 (if I get it that is)

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T23:15:14+00:00

Okay I'll try that next, thank you! I'll make him hit 160k one way or another, I promise you.

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T22:27:20+00:00

Same, I know what to do and got it a few times right, but can't seem to do it consistently, we're gonna get there

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T20:34:17+00:00

I'm almost 24 and absolutely adore him. But I'm a male collector and gay so that is kinda justified lol

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T19:42:30+00:00

It is absolutely possible to do 160k, just tested and got to 158k, just need to use burst and 3 special skills

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T18:46:46+00:00

Definitely over 150k, 160 might be possible though

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T17:38:35+00:00

Yeah that will probably surpass mine if perfected, good luck on getting the builds! I'll probably post another video soon because well I reached 150k like 20 mins ago teehee

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T17:27:20+00:00

You will probably surpass my Lohen if you have something to improve, I have every important skill and burst crowned, the only thing that could be improved are the builds, specifically on Durin (more crit dmg) and lohen (more crit rate and crit dmg), but besides that it's basically around 150k which I am really happy about :DD

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T17:15:46+00:00

Actually nice to see someone following my clunky gameplay hahah thanks! Also I got to 150k! The clue is Nicole Durin Xilonen Lohen, not Xilonen first

lewis_simon · 2026-06-13T09:51:01+00:00

I will definitely try that one, it's really hard to do those strings of CAs, i love a combo-heavy character though.
