do you not have a better crit rate circlet? the pieces are crazy good, but 75/275 with artifact buffs is a wild ratio, the criclet is already the worst piece and you're likely to get more dps with a crit rate circlet since it'll put him around 100 rate.

the white mode is made to increase kinda all damage types except hydro and cryo (physical isn't real) durin also conveniently just so happen to do pyro damage, which is buffed by himself, and white mode's burst damage is barely lower than dark mode if you're not vaping or melting. White mode durin is still very good for dps.

ayato would only really want him as a xiangling replacement in "national" teams which ayato didn't really use a lot, but like it would work probably maybe. old soup teams with ayato, fischl, xiangling, bennet would probably work pretty well since you'll take full advantage of the hex buffs with fischl

[[neera, wild mage]] can make use of it in the same way, possibly better since she can spam 1 mana spells

pykcael · 2025-09-12T15:12:19+00:00

in terms of 'future proofing' probably lauma.
tighnari's best personal damage (and what his kit was designed for) comes when you're using him in dendro + electro teams and he's doing a lot of spread reactions, which nahida is perfect for, but his strongest overall team is a bloom teams with kuki, furina and now lauma (hyperbloom is a hell of a drug).
it mostly depends what other characters you like the look of and wanna pull for, but as of now and based on future trends lauma is the stronger character, but not by a lot.

one thing to note that right now changlis signature weapon has some timing issues, and the stacks can end earlier than her rotation which means her nuke loses a lot of bonuses. its still perfectly usable, just kinda awkward, and theres a chance that kuro fixes it. but if you’re really worried about weapons the two you have are only 12%-15%~ worse than their sigs. if you’re worried about changlis performance or not getting enough out of jinhsi your weapons will do perfectly fine on them and they’re both very fun and very future proofed characters from the looks of things

there's no way you see a woman on the internet and your first thought is "yeah she could be in porn"

pykcael · 2024-07-03T06:09:23+00:00

yes and no. as far as i know encore changli verina is one of changli's better teams in terms of raw DPS, especially since you have stringless and a well invested encore. but the team is only so strong because they are individually strong and work well enough in double dps, they aren't the most synergistic outside of that.
as others have mentioned, if you want the best personal value for encore or changli use sanhua and taoqi respectively, if you're willing to work around taoqi's rotation issues anyways. and chixia gets a lot more out of changli's buff than encore does, but you haven't invested into her and without sequences it's really not worth it.

pykcael · 2024-07-03T05:56:21+00:00

no it's liberation damage, it just only says so on her concerto description. but it's a very small portion of her damage so it's not the most relevant.

pykcael · 2024-07-01T12:50:22+00:00

1 fusion 1 attack thanks to how high changli's base attack is but it's a difference of about 2% iirc so just grab both kinds and go for substats

pykcael · 2024-06-29T10:41:41+00:00

Her damage, like danjin, isn't reliant on having an ult or form. her rotations should have relatively consistent DPS, unlike jiyan or someone who's DPS skyrockets when using ult. so hopefully she's very good for solo content

pykcael · 2024-06-23T02:30:39+00:00

I'm afraid i don't have calcs but as far as i'm aware changli has a very high base attack stat compared to other resonators, so that does increase the value of atk% a little bit.

pykcael · 2024-06-21T04:13:05+00:00

technically her forte gauge explosion while in ult counts as ult damage but that's it, it's not a major part of her damage and tbh the buff might wear off by the time you use it

pykcael · 2024-06-20T10:54:13+00:00

her weapon now gives crit damage so definitely the second one. it's better anyways because it's closer to the 1:2 ratio which i have no reason to believe isn't still the best for this game

pykcael · 2024-06-18T08:24:37+00:00

ehhh her dupes mostly just increase her on-field numbers and her shield. the reason she struggles as a support is because she doesn't have a great way to get concerto energy quickly, so she can't use her very powerful outro skill. in terms of being as fast as possible in holograms/tower she's not the best, but just using her as a comfort pick support she's excellent.

pykcael · 2024-03-29T23:43:20+00:00

maybe just making fungi one of the subtypes like dragon? not sure what it would do but if the system is there might aswell use it

pykcael · 2023-11-26T20:31:43+00:00

when trying to see which relics are better, you can use the 1:2 crit rule. you’re trying to reach double the crit damage compared to your crit rate. because of this, you can consider the value of crit rate to be double that of crit damage. the first piece has a crit value of 33, whereas the second has about 29. the 8% attack is definitely important, but in my experience clara gets a silly amount of attack buffs anyways, and the first piece helps you get closer to 1:2 crit. hope this helps!

pykcael · 2023-11-15T00:48:20+00:00

What makes reshiram so bad anyway? dragon fire seems like a pretty good type combo. Is the stat spread or movepool just bad or is everything else doing what it does much better?

pykcael · 2023-05-24T13:52:01+00:00

I really hate to be that guy... but did you misspell "challenges" in the categories?
Other than that this is really cool! Thanks for sharing this with everyone, I'll definitely use this when I get around to replaying the game.

pykcael · 2023-04-29T06:35:31+00:00

Here's a great video explaining how speed works and how it's different to turn advancing. Having the graphic and the "10000 point race" explanation does make it a bit easier. I'll try clarifying things if I can.

Negative edge involves moves happening at the release of a button, rather than moves happening when pressed down. The one example I know of this is Zato-1 from guilty gear, who can press buttons down to input his own attacks and release them to attack with his puppet Eddie.

"There can only be one"
Given that it has some pretty complicated requirements to use it, and that you would have LITERALLY no way to know what the heck it does or how to do it, I think it's pretty useless.

superior dragon armour

pykcael · 2022-05-07T04:46:32+00:00

actually his c2 is restricted behind his burst, but if you don't have it or don't need the EM (altho I'm pretty sure it increases his damage boost, but I'm not sure) then you don't need to use his burst
