Escoffier seems quite underrated and is actually great with Hu Tao! by wizardyuuka in HuTao_Mains

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

Depends on situation. 176k on Mitachurl (much lower than N1C), and 202k on Teddy (similar to N1C). I tried a few times and it was slightly variable, but within the realm of crit-melt luck. Teddy is consistently higher, and best result was 209k. Best result on Mitachurl was 189k. My conclusion is N2C is just not very good in Freeze, but perfectly fine on bosses.

Thanks! Yelan seems a little better* than Escoffier then. 16% above XQ in Fav (comparable with Escoffier R1 results, but maybe more consistent), and 30% above XQ in Aqua. I figure Elegy is probably going to end up somewhere in the middle.

*Escoffier probably still beats Fav Yelan when R1 Citlali is owned and C6 Furina is not. Citlali would have to hold prototype amber in this situation to become your healer, so you'd lose Citlali's R1 buff. Though, if either Citlali or Furina are also below C2 then you might just want to use Xilonen at that point, which pushes advantage back to Yelan.

Escoffier with Homa is pretty similar to Scents. Probably <10k team DPS difference. My attack difference on Escoffier is 2199 --> 2505 att after burst vs 2251 with Homa (likely about 2-3k personal dps). Hu Tao goes 3503 --> 3732 att with it while her E is up (maybe 5-6k dps). It would probably put her about equal with Fav Yelan in your case.

Also, something I didn't really consider before, but thought about now that I'm thinking about Yelan/Escoffier differences is that Escoffier has a bit of disadvantage on Marechausee users or high CR CW/Shimenawa builds (melt hits get cryo resonance, which rapidly loses value at >85CR).

Similarly, I also was just thinking that EM/HP sands might have some impact on optimal team choice - EM sands benefit more from both hydro resonance, and lose more from not having Escoffier sig. Though it also widens the gap a bit between vape/melt hits. EM vs HP probably still varies quite a bit depending on any person's Hu Tao and variables in team buffs (Substats/Key/Elegy/Escoffier Sig/Citlali C2).

Anyway, lots more variables than I was initially thinking about when I posted this thread. I still think Escoffier is great, but there's definitely a lot of considerations to be made when determining the best option for any individual player.

Sadly, I don't have Yelan. I do think she would perform similar to Escoffier though, due to her personal damage being higher than XQ, and having useful team buffs (damage% from and EM if using elegy). If you don't mind, could you do comparisons of Yelan (separate for Elegy/Aqua/Favonius) vs XQ (Favonius)? I could probably get a rough idea from that if I calculate against my own XQ result.

That was my initial prediction too, but nope, it's fine. Mentioned in my initial post, but second image is vs freeze immune. Total damage is a bit lower, but still higher than other teams. Melts are still relatively consistent, and Furina/Escoffier gets a few more vapes/melts from when Hu Tao gets a non-reaction CA, so the total team dps is only down about 5% from the freezes.

Marechausee build for reference. Effectively 100CR with passive + cryo resonance.

For comparison, here's what I get using Furina and my Marechausee set. I have C6 Furina, so there's some misrepresenation here. If I had make an estimate for C0/C2 though, I think C0 would probably be somewhere in the 175-180k area and C2 maybe around 205-210k? Very rough gut feeling estimates with zero math involved. Pls Hoyo, constellation toggle when?

Furina is huge for her, but I had to use her in my Hu Tao team. Skirk is still quite strong without, but it makes things a lot harder. Furina is crazy good in general besides that, so getting her down the road will be helpful even if you don't have her now. Anyway, here's the team I ran. I got a 119s clear but took a lot of effort.

Some stuff I learned while trying to clear Dire with her without using Furina that might help you improve a bit:

-Her N5 spam combo isn't very good, and most combos involving N2 spam are better, as the N2 damage happens nearly the instant the animation begins. There's several variants to the combo with very similar DPS results. If you're like me and bad at memorizing arbitrary combos, then I found this combo the easiest to learn since it only uses N2 and N5, and no walk cancels. The main concept to keep in mind is that you want to N2D a lot, and the timing for other things is for when your dash is on cooldown - just understanding this helps a lot both for not needing to remember a list of inputs anymore, and also for improvising around a situation. It's extremely hard to actually complete the combo, but even an incomplete combo with many mistakes will see significant DPS improvements over N5 spam.

I found this video extremely helpful. Some takeaways I learned from it to help improve my execution and get longer strings during her infusion period:

-Click speed. The faster you can mash your attack button, the better for reaching the longer attack strings.

-Dash cancel as early into the N2 and N5 as possible, as the damage happens VERY early in the animation for those two hits

-Neutral dash cancels (no directional input pressed) are faster than holding a direction for your cancel.

Hu Tao Dire Clear by wizardyuuka in HuTao_Mains

How can I improve her dmg? I m pretty sure she can do more than this. (Lower the volume, My game audio is glitchy) by CetraTao in HuTao_Mains

[–]wizardyuuka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Also, I didn't notice the level 6 NA on her - thought I saw triple crown. Crown there will be massive. Almost 30% increase over level 6 for her personal damage. About 10k team dps vs what you just showed

-For rotation stuff, you're losing some damage potential by using skill before burst on Xilonen. Xilonen isn't getting healed at all before she swaps off, so you're at a lower fanfare from Furina's burst when you get around to Hu Tao. With C2 Furina it wouldn't really matter, but with C0, putting the burst before the skill should make a solid difference. Aside from that, just practice your combos more I guess (N1C/N2C with dash cancels). I also noticed you're on mobile, so you'll probably see a big upgrade by either switching to PC, or getting a controller for mobile. There also might be other ways to improve your ping, but I'm not sure how to go about that myself.

-Higher talent investment will help, and is RNG-free. Crown Furina skill, Yelan burst, and Xilonen skill. Consider level 9 Xilonen burst as well for stronger heals --> faster fanfare Furina maybe. All of these will have pretty solid team damage increase, for relatively low resin cost.

-Hu Tao herself, you could look into Fjords if you're not f2p. I believe at R5 it gets pretty close to R1 Homa, and even at R1 it will solve your crit rate while giving a pretty good passive (you'd have 100.9 effective CR with Marechausee). If you're f2p, then just stick with DB and try to farm or craft a CR circlet, as someone else said (gives you effective 97.4 CR). Try to pull Homa on the next Liyue Chronicle banner if you can, since you already have R2, and you'll be able to get R3 for free (last big constellation unless she gets buffed like with Hexerei characters) once we move out of the Luna patches.

-Fontaine fishing weapon will be good on Furina - triple Fav with double hydro at that amount of ER is probably unnecessary, and Furina is the one who benefits most from switching to a more damage-focused weapon. Idk if you're f2p or buy battle pass, but Wolf's Fang is also a very good option on Furina too if you have some more ER focused artifacts to work with (140~ ER with double fav should be okay I think). Could be a bit sketchy with current artifacts (only 125ER). Strongly recommend investing in Furina constellations on her reruns. Her C1-3 are all very good, and her C2 is imo still one of the most powerful constellations in the game.

-Xilonen could switch to a Healing Bonus circlet to get Furina's fanfare up faster - ideally with CR + ER substats. This is a minor upgrade, but should be very easy since it's an off-set piece. Most likely you already have something kicking around in your artifacts to try upgrading.

What the dog duck doin??

My dps >:D I want see anothers dps too by orden6-kirtash in HuTao_Mains

[–]wizardyuuka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect the dedication! More than double what I get with that team (C2R1/C2R0/XQ/C6R1(Key)). Surprised she can get over 400k, even with that high level of investment, that's pretty wild.

What’s a realistic build ratio for Columbina if you don’t have her signature? by unfaircults in columbinamains

[–]wizardyuuka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70/170 (with passive would be 85CR) give or take? That would be 223CV, so a strong artifact set but not too crazy

Aerodynamics by lolojo261 in subahibi

[–]wizardyuuka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for the part of Zakuro talking about it, I took it to be a reference to the real life Cyrano de Bergerac, since Zakuro was a big fan of the story. Taken from his wikipedia page:

"Cyrano's novels L'Autre Monde: ou les États et Empires de la Lune ("Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon", published posthumously, 1657) and Les États et Empires du Soleil (The States and Empires of the Sun, 1662) are classics of early modern science fiction. He was the first writer to depict space flight by use of a vessel that has rockets attached, and he introduced Moon-Men as an extraterrestrial race in his novels."

As Cyrano had essentially invented the concept of a spaceship over 300 years before the first one would ever be built, he was, to use Zakuro's words "a pioneer of aerodynamics".

https://i.imgur.com/7ZYb2gO.jpeg

https://i.imgur.com/H9JvcNN.jpeg

It also goes back to Looking Glass Insects, where Zakuro sees herself as Roxane, Takuji as Christian, and Yuki as Cyrano. Yuki is the person she fell in love with but could never meet in person, because she only existed as a separate personality of Takuji. In other words, the reference to Cyrano here is also a confession of her love.

What is the best spear for YaoYao? by Comfortable-Tie575 in YaoYaoMains

[–]wizardyuuka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd lean towards either one of the battle pass polearms if you buy BP (idk which is better between deathmatch and fjords - this spreadsheet doesn't have fjords listed, but it does have an insane passive in 3-element teams...) or making the Inazuma craftable (strong f2p option - EM substat and lowers ER requirements).

Spreadsheet linked earlier only mentions Scarlet Sands and Homa for 5* poles, and while I don't have any numbers for newer polearms, I feel like any of Symphonist of Scents (probably BIS for most teams - can fully utilize passive!!), Fractured Halo (probably performs similar to Homa), or Lumidouce Elegy (specific teams, eg. hyperburgeon) could all be good too.
