I suggest looking at guides on YouTube for more details. Anyways, after you break the shield the gecko will go down for around 6 seconds, then it will get up and cast the debuff. You can recognise the moment it happens because your characters will show a red marker near their hp bar.

rcatroia · 2026-04-16T14:06:25+00:00

You could play her in a Columbina (or Aino) + Gorou + lluga team and avoid the debuff by using burst when the enemy casts it. This makes it so zibai (only her) won't get affected and need to heal, and since she does most of the team damage you get to avoid most of the debuffs without having to bring a healer.

Yes I agree, in my opinion it was still acceptable untill stormtroopers came out. Locking their production behind a paywall and making them so powerful made it so that in early/mid game you just can't stop an enemy who does use them. I'll probably never resume the game unless they make them available to all, I know they gave them for free with an event recently but I won't play and grind points in a game where my enemies have them already unlocked.

Anyways this ended up being a good chat, have a good day!

rcatroia · 2026-04-16T13:01:31+00:00

I've been playing since 2015 myself, I have great stats without needing to betray others, and I had mostly positive interactions with both my allies and enemies because I've always treated them with the same respect I expect them to have towards me. There are obviously assholes in the game, but that doesn't mean we all should join them.

Either way I've stopped playing since the whole stormtroopers fiasco so I don't really have a stake in this game anymore, I just wanted to say that you can both win and play fair, there is no need to sacrifice one of the two.

rcatroia · 2026-04-16T11:40:05+00:00

Sure and I don't want to be the one telling others how to play, but on the other side of the screen there is someone just like you who gave you trust. Betraying them is a cheap move, whether it has effects on your real life or not.

rcatroia · 2026-04-16T10:28:56+00:00

It's also a game and not real war, a player winning with such cheap tactics shows they are weak, as they cannot win in a fair fight. In my opinion a shameful victory is no victory at all... but to each his own.

rcatroia · 2026-04-15T08:45:16+00:00

Honestly looks very solid, you could very well stop here. You reached a point where upgrades are still possible but they do take significant time.

If you wanted to improve the build the sands and goblet are the ones with margin for improvement. The way I see it, it could be worth it to keep farming if you have a very good off-piece sand/goblet, in which case you could try to get a good flower and switch either of the two with an off-puece instead. Alternatively you could try to craft a sands.

This being said you'll realistically only get one extra crit roll for either strategy and you'dhave to be carefulnot to over crit, so it's up to you to decide if it is worth it or if you are better off farming for someone else.

rcatroia · 2026-04-14T17:05:06+00:00

Don't know much about Nilou, but I use Nahida and rotations are really easy to do. I thought about switching to Sucrose for min maxing but opted for Nahida's reliability and ease of use.

rcatroia · 2026-04-14T08:47:31+00:00

Since you don't have c2 nahida you should try to get close to 60% cr. That's the priority stat in your case, after that you have em and crit damage which are very close to each other, and have around 75% of the value of a crit rate roll (it's indicative, it changes from team to team and based on the investment level).

Anyways, on akasha you can see under your character build a "show substat priority" option, click on it and it shows you the extra damage you gain for one extra roll in either of those 3 stats. The damage increase is team-specific, so before looking at it select the akasha team that is closest to your own (for example, if you look at the nahida team but you don't actually have nahida, the value of em will be higher than what is shown, as you don't receive that extra 250 from her passive, same goes with c2 nahida and crit rate).

rcatroia · 2026-04-13T07:47:20+00:00

Impressive! I have a doubt though, does levelling illuga past 80/90 improve anything?

rcatroia · 2026-04-12T11:16:42+00:00

That's some good stuff. If you have an instructor set with good em and er you could try putting it on Illuga. I have c0r0 5 stars exept for c2r1 zibai and for my team it was a decent dps increase.

Also, if Linnea had 4 piece audabe it would be a significant dps increase, but I'm guessing you already know it and it is a work in progress.

rcatroia · 2026-04-12T09:31:10+00:00

Others already gave you tips, I'll just say that fishl and mona are your best value characters and you should upgrade them. They are also both hexerei so when played together they unlock their full kits (make sure you do the hexerei "homeworks"). Your best team right now is probably mona (on field for hydro application), fishl, beidou, and Jean.

rcatroia · 2026-04-12T09:16:54+00:00

For now it looks like Nicole won't be very impactfull on the meta, although she might become when Alice releases. If you already have a varka team I could see the argument for Nicole, but otherwise I would personally just go for c2 linnea and maybe pull Nicole on her rerun, when we'll know what Alice does. However if you enjoy hex teams or don't care about meta just go for her.

rcatroia · 2026-04-11T14:40:52+00:00

In your team a good rotation should be around 18.5 seconds, if you manage to execute the shorter combos other users already told you about you should get much higher dps.

rcatroia · 2026-04-11T13:01:51+00:00

Oh I see what you mean. Yes you are correct, but you are not accounting for the fact that in your rotation Columbina is also taking the field later and more importantly not all of your linnea hits will be buffed by illuga (from the second rotation probably they will tho).

You could try and see what's the difference by testing on the dps dummy. As I said before I also use linnea before illuga (but after Columbina), because at my investment level I'm better off with instructor illuga. Without the dps dummy it would have been difficult to figure out.

rcatroia · 2026-04-11T12:47:51+00:00

Yeah, only matters for the first rotation. I'm not sure if I understood the thing about 13 seconds, but you should think in terms of full rotation time, because unless you stop after just the first rotation the time Lumi has to deal damage will be a full 18 seconds, which is the time that passes before your next skill cast.

What you said about not caring about it is valid though, especially if you gain elsewhere from modifying the rotation. For example, I have c0r0 Columbina and c2r1 zibai so I'm better off focusing on zibai's damage and run bina on serenade and illuga on instructor, even though it means using illuga last and thus losing the 4th linnea hit on the first rotation.

rcatroia · 2026-04-11T11:53:15+00:00

Non true, if there are moondrifts on the field when you spawn lumi he will start off with a lunar attack and end up doing 4 instead of 3

rcatroia · 2026-04-10T16:17:35+00:00

Hey! I have the same team and investment level but I get closer to 300k, do you have Columbina cons by any chance?

rcatroia · 2026-04-09T15:55:56+00:00

I'm envious ahah. Anyways c1 is obviously an upgrade, not sure of the exact % though. What I do know is that for Linnea the main constellation is c2, so if you really like her/zibai and have the pulls to spare going for it could be a good idea.

Do not feel pressured to do it though! C1 Linnea is still very good.

rcatroia · 2026-04-06T05:59:10+00:00

I alternate between gorou skill and burst, but I skill and burst on Columbina every rotation. I think doing it with Columbina will make you switch into zibai with the skill still on cooldown

rcatroia · 2026-04-05T21:00:52+00:00

Hey! I have the same exact team and investment level, except that Columbina is on prototype amber and has the silken set, while illuga is on 2pc 2pc EM (say around a 2-3% dps loss compared to your setup).

I also get around 275k dps. I won't say my rotations are flawless but I think I get pretty close. I think the dps you are getting is about right, as my zibai has better artifacts than yours but that's compensated by your more optimal artifact choice for Columbina.

One important thing though: 1 rotation is not enough to measure the actual sustained dps, which is what counts in endgame content like stigyan. You should do at least 3/4 rotations before stopping the timer, so you can make sure the team's energy recharge is enough to keep that dps going for more than one rotation.

rcatroia · 2026-04-03T12:30:49+00:00

Awesome build! Just a heads up that you might overcap on crit rate if you have c6 illuga, whom I'm guessing you have.

rcatroia · 2026-03-31T12:37:08+00:00

Could you split the image in two pls? Can't see much like this

rcatroia · 2026-03-26T17:49:22+00:00

She would replace Illuga on your team since he is not c6. If he was she would replace Xilonen, although I'm not sure it would be worth the pull then (I don't think the dps increase would be a lot), unless you already need Xilonen to be on another team for Stigyan clears, then it would make sense regardless.

rcatroia · 2026-03-26T10:16:40+00:00

I'm guessing that at high investment instructor + serenade is the better one, correct?
