seems like you wanna learn about a lot of things, is there anywhere you'd like to start?
@molten mist
molten mist
i think id rather start at understanding artifacts i have no clue what stats are meant for what characters and basically have no knowledge at them
also if u want i can send the main characters i use?
tulip cosmos
sounds good! im gonna take 5 min to spend my resin n then i'll get back to u 
(this will probably take a while since the subject is a bit complex)
tulip cosmos
also if u want i can send the main characters i use?
yeye go ahead
faint wedge
I can help in the meantime
molten mist
hu tao does dmg that im happy with but my other ones are mostly hitting in the hundreds or very low thousands
yeah
hu tao can be improvef tho
faint wedge
Hu tao is almost always played with xingqiu because he boosts her damage through vaporize
molten mist
she does about 7-8k per e and her highest crit is about 101k
faint wedge
So those 2 should be on the same team
Are those 10 the only character you have built?
molten mist
half the ones on there arent even properly built but yeah
i have every 4 star except from kuki and razor and have qiqi and mona
faint wedge
Usually Hu tao is run with a shield character but I'm not sure if you are willing to build your Thoma or not
faint wedge
Okay
molten mist
c2
faint wedge
Okay that's fine
Hu tao Xingqiu kazuha Thoma is a good team for her
Do you know which artifacts to use on her or not really
molten mist
if u wanna check my builds my profile is open to check

Okay so for Hu tao it's good you're using crimson witch. The things that need to be changed are she uses a Pyro cup. So you can use an off set Pyro cup and you'll still have 4 pieces of crimson witch. You're gonna want to level up the artifacts to 20 to maximize your damage.
Another thing is she uses her normal attack talent and her E talent as well so you should level those as well
Leveling up weapon to 90 will help too. But besides that I think everything looks fine for now
For kazuha he wants to use 4 pc anemo set
Ideally with elemental mastery as the main stats but those are hard to get. So just focus on getting 4 pc vv at first and slowly work toward that too
For your 2nd team. Xiao and sucrose make a good pair. Because she gives him particals to make sure his burst is up so he can stay on field
For the other 2 slots it can be pretty flexible. It seems you like rosaria. So you could realistically just do. Xiao Sucrose Rosaria Bennett for now as your 2nd team
For Xiao he uses attack sands, anemo damage goblet and crit circlet
molten mist
if i needed to i think these are some of the characters i could potentially build as supports
faint wedge
Xiangling is really good
You could actually do Xiao sucrose Xiangling and Bennett if you wanted to
molten mist
ideally im also trying to get yoimiya but need to figure out artifacts, i have rust r4 for her because i think thats a good option for her

If you click on the character, it'll show how to build them
I have to go for a bit so I'll let vel take over
molten mist
would deathmatch or dragons bane be better for hu tao?
oh alright thank u for everything so far:)

i think id rather start at understanding artifacts i have no clue what stats are...
stats you can get on artifacts:
- atk%, atk
- def%, def
- hp%, hp
- crit rate% (CR), crit dmg% (CD)
- elemental mastery (EM)
- energy recharge% (ER)
- ___ dmg bonus% (main stat for goblets only)
whatever an artifact has as a main stat cannot be on the same piece as a substat
flowers and sands have fixed main stats of flat hp and flat atk, respectively
sands can be: atk%, def%, hp%, EM, or ER
goblets can be: atk%, def%, hp%, EM, or ___ dmg bonus
circlets can be: atk%, def%, hp%, EM, CR, or CD
5* artifacts start with either 3 or 4 substats and will gain substat rolls at +4, +8, +12, +16, and +20. (3 substat artis will gain a 4th substat at +4, when a piece has 4 substats, further rolls will go into existing substats)
1/2
- generally dmg dealing characters will have one main stat they scale off of (of atk, hp, and def), you can figure this out by reading their talent descriptions (though its more difficult to understand for some characters).
- characters that do a lot of reactions will value EM (since in simple terms it buffs reaction dmg), though many of these characters can be played on reaction teams and non-reaction teams so it will depend on the teams you want to run them with.
- crit rate and dmg are almost universally important on dmg dealing characters (the exception being kokomi), and generally you'll want a minimum of 60 crit rate (the rule of thumb is having a 1:2 crit rate to dmg ratio; this changes for characters who take advantage of crit buffs like freeze dps)
- ER is very important for burst focused characters like xiangling, xingqiu, bennett, etc. especially those with higher energy cost bursts. ER increases the amount of energy that specific character gets from energy particles
builds vary from character to character but the general main stat formula for dmg dealing characters is
sands: the main stat they scale off of (atk%/hp%/def%), ER (if theyre a character that wants a lot of that), or EM (if theyre a character who wants a good amount of EM)
goblet: ___ dmg bonus% (whichever applies to them: eula with physical, hu tao with pyro, etc; raiden and xiao are the only ones who can really use atk% goblets as subsitutes to ___ dmg)
circlet: crit rate or crit dmg, whichever one you need more based on your stats
2/2
basic artifact overview 
tulip cosmos
y e a
mm slightly more than basic tbh but thats like the general overview
learning how to interpret character kits and figuring out exactly whats good for who is more difficult but anything you have more specific questions about we're here to help answer
gaining a good general understanding of artis will help you pick and choose what to upgrade and help you feel like you know what ur doing more tho which is goodge 
molten mist
this might be kinda a stupid question but like the more def you have does that just decrease the amount of dmg you take or what does it do😭
faint wedge
Yes technically. But usually defense is not a good stat to put on your character unless they scale with it. Someone like itto or albedo or xinyan
