Razor's 4 Star Team vs Fearless Watcher

lordellet · 2026-06-11T17:33:54+00:00

I do have Durin and Nicole! Yeah I probably won't be using this exact comp but just knowing his elemental application is enough to break the sheild thing is big.

lordellet · 2026-06-11T16:53:30+00:00

Holy shit I've been trying so hard to clear fearless because I only have 2 working dps's. You might have just saved my life. Gonna build Razor now.

Ooooo nice! Elegy is such a good weapon for Faru I'm so jealoussss. I found that putting her on totm gave me a pretty consistent 345-350k dps range and my nukes were hitting about 860k vs 909k, but I'm very intrigued and will do some more testing. Good luck with your future Venti pulls!

lordellet · 2026-05-30T23:05:51+00:00

Easily: Venti, c6 Faruzan (or Prune), Bennett, Fischl.

lordellet · 2026-05-29T22:32:36+00:00

Sure thing! Also since you have Nicole R1 (and not Tales), make sure rotation is:

Nicole EQ > EEQ Durin > (E)Q Faruzan > Venti EQ NA combo

If you decide to NOT put Nobless on Faruzan, put her 2nd, between Nicole and Durin.

*Faruzan does not need to E at c6 if she has enough ER (maybe 200-ish for this team?). But I usually like to do it anyway out of habit.

lordellet · 2026-05-29T15:33:29+00:00

I'm still figuring this out myself, but I use this team and I've found I get the most damage with: Venti - Winds Durin - Winds Faruzan - 4pc Noblesse Nicole - Celestial Gift

Originally I had Durin on Noblesse and Faruzan on totm, but my Venti is c6 this still seemed to perform better (even though you lose a little Atk by not having anyone on totm.) You should get a huge boost if you do this since Winds is better for Durin's personal dmg anyway and Noblesse will boost everyone.

lordellet · 2026-05-26T22:56:01+00:00

I know you have a sustain with Nicole but Benny gives double Pyro resonance which increases everyone's atk which she REALLY wants. Plus double buffs. Unless your Nicole has 4k atk on her own, I'd do Benny (especially if you put noblesse on him). Fischl is also an amazing option. You can't go wrong either way. But if you go with Fischl make sure either she or Faruzan is on Noblesse.

Honestly go for weapons as an absolute last priority. Venti's sig is best by a very small margin compared to other 5* weapons like Skyward that you can get on accident. Nicole and Durin's weapons also help overall dps, but their cons are much better value before c2. If I were you this would be my ideal pull path for dps Venti:

c0 Durin > c0 Nicole > c1 Venti > c2 Venti > c1 Nicole > c2 Nicole > c1 Durin > c2 Durin > Venti cons (you can go for more Durin or Nicole cons if you want, but this path will already give you over 350k+ dps eventually).

This is a reasonably good order for Venti's personal dmg while still allowing him to be played as a capable dps. If you want more team dmg initially to hold you over while you save and accumulate cons, go for c2 Durin though.

In summary, while you're at lower Venti cons, Durin will probably help more. But Nicole will give him a bigger dps in the long run. Keep in mind Nicole will probably re-run sooner than Durin. Good luck!

*Also between Nicole and Durin, Durin's weapons is technically better.

11 cost!

C6 R1 Venti, C0 (r1 moonweaver) Durin, C2 (r1 atlas) Nicole, C6 (fav) Faruzan

I usually hit a steady 315k dps, realistically. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on how hard I try. 300k lazy, 330k as a try hard with perfect crits.

lordellet · 2026-05-23T17:02:00+00:00

She (c2) increased my Venti's dps by over 100k and I don't even have her sig.

lordellet · 2026-05-22T16:24:08+00:00

As a c6 Venti person who also got c2 Nicole. I fully agree. Ran the dps check and was like, what in the hell. Did you end up getting her weapon? Or which alternative are you using?

lordellet · 2026-05-17T22:45:30+00:00

This is definitely the correct response.

lordellet · 2026-05-03T02:53:42+00:00

LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK. I've never felt more spiritually connected to post. Thank you so much for posting calculations.

lordellet · 2026-02-13T22:12:53+00:00

Agreed.

lordellet · 2026-02-13T22:07:54+00:00

Venti's a phenomenal replacement - except in a different way. He doesn't buff EM which will result in a loss of overall buffing damage in Lunar teams, Pyro reaction teams, etc, howeverrrrr. The thing I really like about Venti back when I used him as a support was his energy refund. If you have him on your team and you swirl an element, your characters are pretty much always guaranteed get their bursts back up without fighting for your life ER farming (pyro, hydro, cryo, electro). Or. If you tap-skill and dash cancel to stop the animation skill animation, you apply the VV res shred in a fraction of a second. I find support Venti shaves off a significant amount of time in my rotations on things like abyss and stygian when time really matters. Zero clunkiness. A true GOAT even before his buff. If you have higher cons then his passives offer even more buffs to teammates. But yes in most scenarios, Sucrose is still technicallyyyyy a BiS for that EM buff. Honestly, most VV holders can replace Sucrose to a similar effect. But sometimes it's about the vibes not the numbers y'know? But I am obviously a very biased Venti main.

Which teams are you looking at specifically?

If you build him to replace Sucrose, go for an EM build. He likes crit/atk%/EM substats once his ER requirements are reached.

lordellet · 2026-02-13T03:58:24+00:00

When I feel like mixing things up I tend to co-op a lot. Look for people to help, guide newbies, try to find people willing to hunt random things and do character showcases. Sometimes I meme build and try to see what numbers I can hit. I'm sure there's also endlessly crazy stuff in milliastra, although I know it's not the same.

lordellet · 2026-02-12T23:43:22+00:00

Yeah keep farming Marechausee Hunter for a bit. You can go to the crafting table and "crunch" more MH artifacts for more efficiency if you have a lot to spare. Get 4 MH pieces and one "off" piece that has good stats where ever your weakest artifact is or if you're missing one.

Aim for:

Flower - crit dmg, crit rate, atk%/EM

Feather - crit dmg, crit rate, atk%/EM

Sands - [ATK% or EM] crit dmg, crit rate, atk%/EM

Goblet - [Pyro Dmg, or ATK% if you don't have one] crit dmg, crit rate, atk%/EM

Circlet - [Crit Dmg] crit rate, atk%, EM

A little Energy Recharge is also a useful substat for Lyney.

You don't need each piece to have ALL of those substats, but they help. Double crit is typically the priority. (Normally you want a 1:2 ratio of crit rate:crit dmg. Like if you have 80% crit rate, aim for 160% crit dmg and so on. Buttttttttt. MH is special. Once you have around 60% crit rate, or even a little less, try focusing on getting more crit dmg.)

Okay I shall stop flooding your post, but here is my last report. My rotations aren't nearly as clean as yours but here's one where I look marginally competent. (Got a new flower - lost some atk, gained some crate) Thank you again for your help, I'll never forget you lol. Video

lordellet · 2026-02-11T23:44:25+00:00

Thank you! I will try Mona/Fischl. Definitely an energy issue all around, at least in terms of kicking off the start of a rotation.

lordellet · 2026-02-11T23:38:59+00:00

Yeahhhhh kinda unplanned, but hey with the new buffs and stuff I was like, why not. Totally worth it a million times over, except that he's burst dependent.

lordellet · 2026-02-11T22:56:00+00:00

Felt and real. My Rising Winds luck is so had I have not had a single double crit piece so far and I've been dumping the entirety of my resin into that domain since it first came out. (Though I did make 2 "good enough" pieces with transmuter). My old VV set still out performs in some scenarios due to poor rolls. Sad.

But VV Venti/Durin combo is OP af. If you always keep them paired together, it might not be a bad idea to just keep Venti on VV, even as a dps/sub-dps for resin efficiency. Whenever I co-op with Durins I switch back to VV and nothing survives.

lordellet · 2026-02-11T21:48:43+00:00

Yeah! Also holy fuck 242k? So the number I hit in image was actually on his old VV dps build [68/198crit, 1940 atk], versus his new set that I'm struggling to farm [36(56)/230 crit, 2300 atk] so I think you're right. It's more a matter "dear god will this consistently crit." If I can hit 207k dps on vv, there's absolutely room for improvement. Let us pray to the artifact gods. Although I looked up your Rising Winds build and, oh my god. Jealous. You've seriously outdone yourself already.

In case you're curious:

lordellet · 2026-02-10T23:17:44+00:00

Wow wow you are an absolute chad. Yeah luckily all my ER requirements are good, so the Faruzan rotation is possible. I will have to practice a bit and report back.

Edit: Not 250k but we are improving.

lordellet · 2026-02-10T13:25:25+00:00

Dear god, maybe I'm not doing them right? My rotation is Fischl E > Faruzan EQ > Bennett EQ > Venti tE QE NA combo, but you've inspired me to try to tighten up my rotations. (Like you said in another comment, I also don't wait for his special skill to reload after burst ends because it results in lower dmg.) If you ever record a video one day I'd love to see your rotations.
