romany does it for every character 😔
Ur also dropping SC on a razor driven team
ticket is in kqm
yeah may as well just be using diona for shield heals and sc or zhongli for shield and omni shred
kuki provide nothing 
Her E shield overrides the C2 Shield. You could slap a lot of ER on Xinyan and/or give her Inazuman craftable Claymore, in order to view her as a shield bot AND funnel her particle into someone else, but if you do that, you are looking to Q then E, then you will override her c2 shield with a (almost always) weaker shield from her E.
Then, lets talk about getting a shield from e. The combo of low range + auto targeting on an enemy + small step toward hit (despite the skill being aoe around her) makes it stupidely hard to get higher value shield from E, basically relyong on c2.
The flames on her max level shield cant be built around (or is too hard to build around to be good design). the fact it needs you to build def to last because it only lasts if shield is up is waaay to restrictive, can't build EM for occasional overload shenanigan, building ER is a double pain because not only you tank less with your shield, but it also means you have less reliance on your flame pulses. Can't build damages on that. So, in short, the flames are only playable around in a very DEF heavy build, then they are only here to apply some pyro aura at low range.
The 2 first points especially are the reasons I am seeing Xinyan kit as dysfunctional. the 1st point is a real joke
so painful

Isn't Xinyan meant to be a Phys DPS/Burst DPS though? Why the focus on the shield? 
focus or not, does it seem functional to you that the E shield overrides the higher level c2 one?
that's the question tbh
I mean, I don't think it matters that much tbh. It's kinda lame, but I don't think that one thing makes her entire kit a horrible mess 
you need to get value out of the shield to get value out of xinyan, it's a big part of her power budget
Is it though?
you just can't ignore it, or you should play someone else tbh
Why can't I ignore it? I can just build her Phys and do my damage via Normal Attacks & her Burst, it provides nothing of great value to that kind of playstyle 
I mean, you can 36* abyss with amber and barbara, it doesn't mean they are strong units
That's not what I'm asking, you said Xinyan's shield is important to her kit. I'm asking, "why?"
so yes, you can just ignore Xinyan's shield and play her full physical, but dont look toward Eula's direction
I don't understand why it matters that the C2 shield gets overriden by the E shield? You are supposed to do EQ anyway
why are you doing QE
no you are supposed to do that to either funnel her own particles, or bcz it overrides, not theother way around
for instance, with inazuman craftable with high refinement
you are supposed to do EQ
why are you using the inazuman craftable
its shit
why is a shit weapon your example
you could QE and funnel to someone else, but u cant
yea lmao
its bad bcecause it doesnt work while it should
elaborate brother
and you are not even discussing the main topic
you are avoiding what hurts
is it functional design?
thats the questiion
Yes 
the inazuma craftable is a shit weapon because it gives an extremely overkill amount of energy that you do not need without any other utility and is bugged to not even work off field like it says
when you could just use favonious for a significantly better ER weapon
and for damage builds its outclassed by every other 4 star option
theres no reason to be using that thing
and its energy for the whole team
^
you can use favonious and get a ton of energy on her, more energy for the whole team, and thats without requiring any artifact dedication because her burst always crits
you gimping yourself into this hole by using the craftable it looks
thus leaving your artifats to build defense for a stronger shield
you are doing here exactly what you pointed out here. you are avoiding the argument going against your stance
How?
If c2 overrides your standard E shield, then don't use it like that simple
I literally responded directly to all of your arguments
even if it didnt override you wouldnt use E after Q
thats silly
yea lmao
by not looking at if the fact her E overrides the c2 shield is or not dysfunctional, but instead attacking the reason i even looked at this behavior in the first place
Okay wait not to butt in here but this is the first I’ve heard of amenoma being bad. I use it on Ayaka
you are not replying to the point but going to otherside points not directly related to the main topic which is, sorry to remind u, whether her kit is dysfunctional or not
the claymore
Sh-should I be using something else?
Ooooh I didn’t even know there was one 
why did you bring up all the other points if you only wanted a response to one of them?
how is it dysfunctional in the first place
that's like saying shenhe c1 is dysfunctional because quills gets replaced
when that was
never the purpose of said cons
i dont want to only talk about one point, it's you who only talk about inazuman craftable i dont know why
i talk about:
- e overrides c2
...because you brought it up?
this is ridiculous
- e too much of a pain to get high level shields
i'm not gonna continue this conversation if you are going to bring up points and then complain when I reply to them
...since when
because you brought it up lmfao
and then instead of talking about the main point, you are like "lol this weapon sucks, end"
wtf are you talking about
E overriding C2 makes perfect sense though, it says in her talent description that it forms a shield when used, so of course it would make a new one 
other shield overlap
in this game
so, no
Use E before Q on Xinyan it buff her physical damage I thought to make burst more stronger
you cant have two of the same type of shield of any other type of shield in this game
pray tell what character created shield stacks with itself that is not thoma
zhongli and cristallize
thats because those are two different types of shields
you cant have two zhongli shields
yup indeed
what tells u diona 's shields dont overlap?
you can have xinyan shield and diona shield
because I literally just finished recoding xinyan diona rotations for the guide
and it doesnt overlap
no shields of the same type do that
That's not a Xinyan exclusive thing
how do you know 2 diona shield with sac dont overlap?
Shield it does not stack , use Sacrificial Diona for energy not for 2x shield strength 🙃
^
both take damages simultaneously
then, is it normal?
yes
lets say its true
thats normal yes
Yes so it is exact the same as Xinyan
is it normal?
yes it is normal
should it work this way
because its how all shields function
Are you suggesting that everyone else is wrong and just hasn't noticed that shields of the same type overlap because they take damage & break at the same time? 
not "does it work this way" but "should it"
yes
It should yes
When you have two type of shield they both take damage
you long press e with diona sac, then short press e, do you think it is normal to have the low duration one only?
bcz i dont think so
huh?
It should, proactive healing is busted in any game
thats not what I said
It is normal because that is how the game is designed
yes

Hate to break it to you, but we didn't design this game, either way, it's not a knock on Xinyan if she follows the rules of the game designers like every other character 
gaining a new shield of the same type replaces the first one
exactly what i said
What is the point for this conversation
the discussion is not about what is in the game, but is it sound design
it was originally about xinyan being dysfunctional therefore dont expect kuki buffs or something like that
who knows
hate to break it to you
why are we talking about genshin impact if we arent talking about whats in genshin impact
Complaining just about the design of shields in the game...?
thats not a conversation im interested in partaking in
You're the one who called Xinyan's shield dysfunctional when it literally functions normally according to the rules of the game, hate to break it to you 
we are talking about what is in the game, then talking whether it is sound design, and you guys are forgetting the 2nd part
which is inherent to the judgement whether xinyan is dysfunctional or not
I'm not interested in having a conversation on if we think the way shields work in genshin impact is sound design or not
She is not dysfunctional
That's a completely different goalpost than what I thought we were talking about
No it isn't. If Xinyan's shield works like literally every other shield in the game, it is not dysfunctional 
^
Kuki is still can get buffs. Is the argument that Xinyan is bad so Kuki can also be bad ?
I thought the argument was because Xinyan is a 4 star released "dysfunctional" then kuki will probably be the same
by dysfunctional, I was not refering as "not following Genshin rule", but rather "not working to achieve her goals"
but she does achieve her goals
I think if you try other weapon and press E - Q she will do better for you
overriding bigger shields is self sabootage
Do not override your own shield
You can play bad or good if you like 
That's the same thing as doing a hold E into press E on Diona, so Diona is also disfunctional now?
then that's shields in genshin being dysfunctional, not Xinyan specifically
becuase thats not a thing exclusive to xinyan

xinyan is the only one that can suffer from it
It's not on Genshin if you overwrite your own shield, that's on you 
Diona can suffer from it if you play bad
You have no one to blame but yourself for continuing to use XY like that
exactly why are we doing that in the first place
There's no reason to
Press E before Q so it self funnel her energy and she also get increase physical damage bonus
It keep her shield as strong version
and pressing E before Q gets her Q the phys shred and damage bonus and funnels her particles to herself which are all things you want
i know how self funneling works thanks, i do it as well. but other characters can choose to sacrifice their regen to funnel to someone else
xinyan cant bcz she also pays a big part of her shield
doing so
she still can funnel to someone else
just use E, then swap to other character
then us Q later
then you are paying with a lower tier shield
^for a very short period of time
it is one second to funnel energy only
the way I described gets you overall more shield uptime
if you think it's ok, good for you
underestimated the level of copium ppl could be on
It is okay if play it well
please dont make comments like this
They do not contribute to a healthy conversation
It is TC and can try to help make play more optimal
to me you are closing your eyes to bad game design and working around it instead of pointing it out
This whole conversation started with you not thinking to try and work around the issue & just complaining that it was dysfunctional though 
bcz you want to believe the character is ok
Again it is game design not character
The character is okay though
isnt that the definition of copium? real question
I've no reason to dive deep into what I think is good and bad game design

What's the point? Are you gonna contact Hoyoverse's CEO and demand they change it yourself? It's pointless 
then dont be surprised if others call your character dysfunctional
bcz other may and are allowed to do it
You are only one here saying it...
again everything you described is the game being dysfunctional, by what you consider dysfunctional
not the character
Xinyan did not invent the way shields work in genshin impact
a character working properly is tied to the game around it working properly

if every heal in the game was dysfunctional, then every healer would be as well
@rose tiger It was actually brought up yes 
they would not achieve their goal

but xinyan does achieve her goal
Xinyan achieve it
at a lower extent, she shield, but in this scenario she shields less

She can shield more if you wanted to funnel energy like you said...
are we in a loop
yes
there is no reason for her to be shielding less unless you are not playing optimally
Doesn't look dysfunctional huh
it's simple, you dont wanna judge whether a design is good or bad, and thats the whole point i am bringing, it's stalemate
no discussion
You just say she is bad design but it is not
oh boy, or we can go looping again
I agree it doesn't look like we really have any discussion to be had here
Because you're going into overall game design which isn't what I was interested in discussing to begin with
I was discussing the character specifically
It's because you have a really strange bar for what is considered "dysfunctional", using a shield again to overwrite an old one makes perfect sense, imagine if you couldn't overwrite Zhongli's shield, so you were stuck with the weaker one 
these are different shields, from different characters, it's not even in the topic
as i said, shields from different sources stack, they are all damaged simultaneously
Whatever
I'm done here
indeed
Same thing applies for Diona and she's still functional
Then again Diona is dysfunctional by that definition
why would anyone suffer?
I only suggest to make shields from the same source stack, like every shields from different sources
why would any shielder suffer from it
it wouldnt, just display the higher level of every kind of shield
there is no sidegrade atm
with diona and xinyan
only weaker and stronger versions
They could make it like Thoma
thoma stacks his shield, he only has one shield at any time tbh, it's different
because that's his design
indeed
Shields from different sources dont actually stack
They all take damage when hit
yes thats what i said
I mean it's basically the same thing, you stack shield from the same source
they dont stack in the way they add to eeach other value, they stack in the way they all exist at the same time
i dont know how to say it differently, thought i was clear about it
It's getting technical at this point
But if two shields from same source exist at the same time but all take damage when hit. Its basically just one shield
I jumped it late so if missed something apologies
to keep stronger versions of a shield if a weaker version of the same one is applied after
Oh so u talking about going from hold to tap on diona
but thats not how it works, applying a weaker version, overrides the previous version, even if it is a stronger one (giving you the quick summary)
Or Q to E on xinyan
exactly
Yea i suppose thats very true. though I personally havent had an issue with it in game
Xinyan is the only character with you could have a benefit, doing it, but the fact it isnt allowed doesnt open the possibility to exploit such a behavior, explaining why ppl dont have issue with it
they dont use it in the first place
bcz it doesnt work
can we use kuki xinyan overload team
I don't know with those two which will trigger the overload which application is more. I know Kuki it is only every 3 second she can apply electro from E
that's what theory crafting is... trying to work around problems and trying to make a character work with their inherent flaws or design choices. people found a use for kokomi after doomposting her
i would agree if the problems were weaknesses and not flaws in the game design
it is what it is ig lol, there's various problems with genshin's game design
I mean, the guy with the Zhongli example gave a pretty good example working against himself tbh. If Zhongli's shield was overriden by a critallize shard, everyone would riot. But it isn't, because shields from different sources can coexist. So why were some of them defending the fact shields from the same source can't coexist. It's the exact same problem, but at a very lower scope, on 1 unit that almost nobody cares about. And the difference is far smaller between a lvl1 xinyan shield and a lvl 3 one than between a Zhongli one and a cristallize shard
I don't like just watching what is in game and saying "it is what we have so it is ok". that's not the way to go forward and clear problems
problem with xinyan is her shield is too easy to break, even with DEF build. you will lose pyro application without shield
if any electro want to trigger overload reliably, just pair them with xiangling, maybe add kazuha on top.
Oh that make sense it is relying on shield. Xiangling, Kazuha, or Sunfire is maybe most reliable as pyro application for Kuki, but I think it is not worth it
And pyro infused Sayu 
sayu too! cant wait to try sayu
Klee also has a too much pyro problem that could work
But like you said.. not sure if all these are worth it
play xingqiu for quadruple healer team
i know nothing abt kuki, is she decent at all at replacing fischl in a beidou taser team?
shes probably better off replacing beidou
average
hm
is ayato ec good?
or even a bennett kazuha ayato team?
sorry if im just asking a ton of questions
If you have Bennett on the team, there's less need for Kuki
it's hard for an ATK carry to not be good with bennett kazuha tbh
hm
I run Ayato with C6 Sucrose and Beidou and a C5 Fish (waiting on monthly shop) and I think the dmg output is great, although sometimes survival is an issue so I plan to replace Beidou with Shinobu. I don't know about the team at lower constas tho
I reaaaly want another sub dps pyro. The only good one right now is xiangling 
the point of me asking is that i dont have fischl 😐
very sad abt that
as an ayato puller
you can use her over Fish imo, sacrifice a bit of single target dmg and good battery for more survivability and a bit less battery
Shinobu is good replacement for beidou. don't worry.
who are you talking to?
oh, to prime
So far taser and overload have most potential. Maybe some phys team too.
more time spent farming for me 
taser would be fischl xingqiu/koko and sucrose right?
yes that's the basic setup
ok
her best teams right now would be taser imo, but with double hydro rather than double electro. in double electro, 1 of the 2 electro units benefiting from having more particles of its type is Shinobu, and right now her ult is not worth building around
her heal is not gated by energy
so it's kinda wasted to give her that much energy
she is a low to middle tier healer
oh damn
so shes like dedicated healer?
hp/hp/hb
also thanks for helping me out im clueless 
ah...
I really agree with double hydro there. allows you to run something like xingqiu ayato to get rid of the hydro chars energy problem too. Kuki may need c4 if you want better electro application
she shouldnt be a dedicated healer, with her ult being a burst that only contributes in damages she should also be a burst, but that's where her kit goes south. Her ult doesnt deal enough right now
another bad inazuma 4* 
😦
they gotta share some love with her from yelan
nerf yelan buff kuki 💪 💪
I am surprised Kuki kit it is so simple. Recent characters have so much mechanics and utility
yeah
I wish even if she have team heal to play on co op but not even that
i wish she was just like fischl 2.0
like weve got a second sucrose, a second xingqiu, now all we need is a seccond xl and a second fischl and why cant that be kuki
I think having second of character is boring
yes second xiangling pls
It is bad powercreep to me
xiangling is the only good off field pyro dps right now... it makes me sad
yae is the 2nd fischl
oh

right
i thought yae was second beidou 
thats what ive heard
off field dps with energy problems yk
it's funny to me that they literally copy xingqiu burst to yelan burst..
Yae cannot battery for Beidou so well
the off field dps part (the one that is fischl 2.0) doesnt have energy issue
LITERALLY
factoring in survivability is beidou or kuki taser better?
ik it depends a ton on content but in general
if you can give a rough estimate
Maybe survive is better with Kuki but have interruption resist and shield it is helpful to have to not dodge and keep using normal attack
Beidou is also quick swap to her for counterattack strong hits
what i find even funnier is that her c1 mimics xingqiu's weapon, and her c2 is almost the same as xingqiu c6 (minus the energy sustain)
mimics xingqius wep?
imagine if klee burst was off field... 
Beidou is best for dmg, and generally a xingqiu- c1 beidou combo is nearly immune to dmg, except corrosion. But if you want more comfortable runs, highly suggest sayu or kuki instead of beidou. I only notice a slight decrease in dmg when I replaced beidou for sayu, so that should be the case with kuki too.
if you play her in a 20+ sec rotation teams, it allows her to double E with her Q cast each time you switch her on, just like you double E with xingqiu Q thanks to his sac
just have an amber burst that follows you around for 10 seconds
that seems like it would be insane
Sayu as heal in taser team, especially with Ayato team, work very strong as healer + she give VV and good sub dps in double swirl
Kuki it is worse alternative most of time 🙃
imagine if Amber's ult was similar to Aldritch arrow rain in Dark Souls 3 
omagad
There are many taser option
that would be so dope
imagine having played dark souls 3 
Qiqi/Barbara it is already comfort healing taser
kokomi 
my sayu replaces electro slot. Don't even need double electro honestly.
And Kokomi I forgot 🙃 I do not have her
so your running double anemo taser?
thats what i am doing as well tbh
how about the Radahn arrow rain nightmare 
If you do not need second electro for energy or damage it is fine
yes. fischl is like a must to me so can't replace her. double anemo works fine. If I run kokomi instead of xingqiu I may even go kazuha /venti/ sucrose together for ultra cc
But 2 VV it is not efficient
in double anemo, sayu is allowed to slot in Clam, which is pretty stronk on her
another anemo takes 4 instructor
by pretty stronk I mean she is the best user of this set after qiqi
or clam. sayu clam yes.
4 instructor wont give more damages than clam on sayu
coping for new EM artifacts in 3.0 or 1 
Sayu clam yes it is good also
Aaaah I really realllly need EM artifacts! all we got are so many AtK%
at least as good as instructor pls.
exactly - they took gladiator and made 3 sets of ATK artis.....just need the same treatment with WT
we really got bombarded by ATK sets
if Dendro is EM- centered like we think, then sumeru would be the time to introduce them
and we don't even have EM food or potions.
Imagine a set similar than Emblem but with EM and the 4 set gives ATK% based on EM
good god
telling you, i 'd build yae crit em em and put her in pyro team
overload wouldnt be a meme anymore
EM dps would blow up
MHY wants it, we want it, everyone wants it, they should do it 
sayu
some who does, like xiangling, would have a hard time stacking EM to get value, bcz they also need dmg% and crit and ER
c6 sayu*
I actually want something like... buffs the team based on EM like kazuha. Or increase reaction dmg based on EM
^ would be niiiice
this isnt
you run clam on sayu in double anemo. she is good clam user
sayu heals a ton if you have c1
and you can have ALL her healing go into clam bubbles
i feel like focusing on damage is better than doing healing
clam allows to do the first by doing the 2nd
also, if you have c6, you focus on swirl damages and improve her healing with 1 stat
Usually she is always build for EM even if not C6. Unless it is clam then use attack and Healing bonus
even with c6 and double anemo wouldnt smthn like 2pc wanderer 2pc vv be better or smthn?
4pc VV give swirl damage increase
do you have any team sheets with clam sayu
oh right right that would just be better than wanderer nvm
my sheet : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BKAIoJ120XEHvJ-fUD1GTTUKYoRXjzdkoq-TU07orDY/edit?usp=sharing

you can see a c6 sayu
clam sayu is not so popular build because VV is most useful
the clam set gives 81k physical aoe damages on ult alone
before physical resistance
Best clam for Taser team usually is Qiqi if you have her instead
2pc wanderer 2pc vv wont ever come close
81k?
doesn't it cap at 32k or somthing
she stacks many bubbles
she heals over time
kokomi???
kokomi needs to be on field attacking
oh you mean like... she will bubble a few times before ult ends
running a cryo in taser just seems like a complete waste
No
to use it as well as qiqi sayu
Qiqi have Superconduct in taser which increase clam damage for lower physical resistance
best users are qiqi sayu who dont even need to stay on the field
She is also faster attack speed and can drive Fischl/Beidou better
ok the best user of clam is those but the best teammate with clam is kokomi no?
oh nvm, did the sheet some time ago, the 81k damages is taking 10% physical res into account
:3
Kokomi can make clam work well yes but I do not have sheets to compare taser options. Make sheets for EC is complicated
imo, ppl tunnel vision too much on EC damages in EC comps. The main benefits of these comp is the anemo unit double swirls on hydro and electro doubling his swirl damages, making him more relevant in the damage chart. EC ownership is a pain and having EC procs from your EM unit should be seen as a welcome bonus
just build all characters with EM/EM/EM easy
big brain move
question about this sheet, is this KQM standarized or?
no, I didnt ever hear about what is a KQM standard before doing it
Definitions: Fixed substats: rolls which are preallocated into all substats, including those which are not desirable Distributed substats: rolls which are distributed optimally within constraints Artifacts: Artifact sets, stack assumptions if not calculated dynamically, mainstats, and energy re...
I just used my stats
I have in game, with my artefacts
so, the stats are not unreachable, thats all i can guarantee
AND and i just spotted a small mistake in my sheet that lowers her total clam value by a very small amount, it should be over 81k after i fix it.
the 81k rounded was fishy as the right combo should charge 3 bubble +1 healing tick alone in a 4th bubble, and the lone healing tick in the last bubble wont reach any healing cap, so it reaching a round number was fishy, and in my calculations, since i am maxing a bubble with 3 ticks, in the calculation this last healing tick is storing 10k heal in the last bubble, but in fact it stores a bit more, well whatever sry for the technical stuff)
i would recommend putting a disclaimer in the sheets about it. People might interpret it as a actual Clam DMG sheet for sayu following the normalize standards
hmm, i just did it for myself you know
he wanted a sheet showing what she can reach, thats why i shared it
and while it is not standardized, she can reach these numbers for sure
i would still put a disclaimer inside the sheet for future purposes when sharing
oh yeah, i agree with you. obviously we should speak out about certain problems or design flaws with certain characters, but it's already difficult as it is to even get mihoyo to buff/change characters
qiqi and koko clam are idp
I have a sayu clam sheet with kqmc standards that can verify clamyu is good
In case anyone is wondering
can you perhaps share
Summary

Thank you
kuki just isnt good at anything
"Jack of all trades. Master of none."
Such an amazing theme amirite?
Jack of all trades implies they're decent at them all
just not fantastic
"functional at none" is closer
To Hoyoverse she is decent at them all bro trust 
wack of all trades
Can kuki use festering passive ??
yes but why would you want that
Beta updates ? 
next monday 
How long till beta ends 
like 3/4 weeks i think
just show heizou 
I'm not clicking on that spoiler
Unsure currently but it looks to be a strong option
It will be once they make her e damage scale off hp 
If use festering then get extra cr and damage bonus for e rite ?? What i wanna know is the passive go with e first casting or e all the way 13sec ??
all the way to 12 seconds as her DoT is considered skill dmg
If its only the first damage when casting e then its bad
but festering is kinda not into play with her entire kit as her E has a low mv's of both ATK scaling
yes
Ow so full 12 sec gonna effect e with festering ??
If so im gonna use festering i guess
if you are using husk, cinnabar might be the closes one you can use
Clam?
and for 5*, if you are really dedicated to her entirely even though
PJC might yield more DMG
but entirely, i would just stick a 4* weapon on her
Tenacity of millelith, tom
Oh yeah lol i mean tom
Giving her jade cutter is a waste but the weapon could be fine
Lol yeah
Either hb or crit depending on if you like her burst or not
Or hp/hp/hp for burst ??
Kuki with a PJC is a Cookie Cutter 
Ummm cookie cutter
ill dm it to you
If you hate her burst, id run clam set with hp hp hb or tom with em em em/hb
Hb is on circlet
Not the water bucket
Replaces crit or hp
healing bonus
Healing bonus
Healing bonus
speaking of clam kuki
...
Imo use em with tom
Ow why em
Especially if you dont run her with geo carries
Tom gives 20% hp already, its fine to get some dmg elsewhere. Check the sheet youll see
What sheet
And with bh circlet you are already healing enough
I guess wanna give her full healing and buff team only
pins
These was my plan with er maybe change to em/hp, hmmm guess im gonna try other build too


sure
if healer, 4 maidens will be the way 
Well, you're not wrong, since maiden's 4 set can be activated once every 10 secs, and while kuki's E last for 12 secs
you can check the pins for the healing mastersheet
for more
as well as the weapons used
Thank you very much 
Huh, the heal difference between 4 clam and 4 maiden is not that much?
kuki buff when? 
monday 
what buff do you expect? Like at what aspect, if I may know?
i just want her to both heal and battery. maybe just 100% 1 particle gen per every E hit 
multiplier buff at most tbh
if i'm not wrong, her gen particle for now is around 4-5 particles per E?
yes
45% every tick so 3.6 particles at c0
yeah but it's not enough for battery purposes
ye especially when you can't really funnel them but you can use favonius easily because she does barely any damage anyways
ah, since C2 extend the E by 3s, we can expect 4.x or something?
but again, fav really depends on crit or not, so it is kinda sudden swap for funneling?
wait, you can't??
C2 E:
1 particle: 2%
2 particles: 7.6
3 particles: 16.6
4 particles: 23.8
5 particles: 23.4
6 particles: 15.9
7 particles: 7.4
8 particles: 2.2
does em really bring a lot to the table for kukis healing?
since its a flat increase im wondering how good itd really be for her skill
I would just invest more in her HP than EM tbh
So whats the overunder on what SET we should farm for Kuki? Is it really 4 piece ToM?
aight chat
ToM should be good for most cases
unless you are running Taser Ig
Yeah so about that. I plan on running her with Ayato Zhongli Venti (or Kazuha when he comes back)
ToM has basically 100% uptime so yeah it's really good
There is an argument for clam somewhere out there, but it's not a solid argument
Noblesse also works if you can't be arsed farming ToM and don't have noblesse in the party already
Simple
Im already farming ToM domain for Yelan's 2 piece and more Eula gear so might as well
it doesn't
I mean, i'll run my Eula team if i KNOW im going to run into heroic/large enemies that cant be pulled
But overworld it should work perfectly fine
Swap out zhongli for yunjin or fischl I guess
Kuki heals enough to not bring a shield
I know, i just like running Zhongli so i can literally not pay attention in overworld
Oh if it's an overworld team it's whatever
Overworld can run 4x aloy and get away with it
Abyss i have plenty of teams i can run for whatever gets thrown at me. I just like having most people built if/when i want to play or need them
Is there a TLDR of what kuki does? and how she stacks up to other 4 stars
hp scaling electro healer
not good for dmg
but Bennett also does those but better
Kuki is better with Eula than Bennett, take that 
i was planning on usin kuki w eula ya
eula raiden kuki rosaria
for that double resonance
wait what
bro can u explain im confused
no idea either 
Superconduct eula
With kuki
Ranges to 35k iirc
Ill check on it tomorrow after i wake up
im not that concerned w numbers i just like to see blue and purple numbers go boom boom
but with eula i actually like to go raiden xingqiu diona, for some extra reactions + a shield
also blue and purple numbers go boom
but i wanna try kuki instead to shake things up
Sooooo how's a support build looking? Fav + 4totm?
ye
Sadge
maidens also ok for healing ig
My favonius sword sitting in my inventory like "everyone wants me carnally" (JOKE)
If you get C2 i think you have 100% uptime on TOM, so meh for dmg support, but healing is meh at the same time.
I have yet to ever level a Fav sword
Fav its good for support always but if want to do shorter rotation , can use Sacrificial sword if it is r3
any idea if Kuki will work well with Ayato in an electro charged team?
sorry if this question has been asked before new to the converation
She should do quite well if you dont have Raiden.
if Ayato then why not Fischl?
Kuki will have more uptime than Fischl at C2, plus does healing as well as electro applicaiton
Agree on the healing part. Tho wouldn’t Fischl have 100% uptime as well with E + Q?
Requires putting stuff into energy regen, Kuki can keep her E up 100% at C2 with 0 regen
Fischl does give you the free escape button with her Q though, which has it benefits.
wait, what sword are we even running on Kuki?
fav
festering if u wanna look cool af
You can run Iron Sting (crafted) which would go better imo
okay, i'm kinda confused now
Favonius gives her only energy regen, which at C2 she doesn't need to have 100% uptime on her Electro Application and heal.
If you want to run her pure dmg you can run Lions Roar, for more raw electro dmg, Iron Sting for more reaction dmg.
Amenoma gives her atk% and regen, but her skills are based on her max hp so atk gives her less than the elemental mastery dmg from Iron Sting.
Technically PJC is her best weapon because of the 20% HP bonus it gives, but nobody is going to use that on her when it fits a main DPS more.
If you have a pure shield Zhongli with decent subs, you can just lift/shift his entire gear set over to Kuki and she'll be great.
At C2 she has 100% uptime on E
At C4 she becomes a F2P Healer Raiden
Healing scales on Elemental Mastery
Yes it is, but how many people will run PJC on her instead of a main dps?
Optimistically you want 4 piece ToM, hp%/hp%/HB with a mix of crit/critdmg/EM on your subs
I dont know if thats how it works tho
Sure, EM gives HB, but building straight HB should still be better
but like, do we know how her passive works?
it should be a flat bonus right?
Im not sure tbh, but even if its flat, unless your running her to use her burst on CD (energy regen) then EM as a weapon substat would be the better choice over atk.
I only have one PJC and its 100% staying on Ayato. The DPS loss moving it to Shinobu is nowhere near what she could make up.
PJC > Freedom Sworn >Festering Desire/ Iron Sting
Throw Dark Iron Sword in there for lulz
we have no HP sword yet? 
The only one is PJC
feels bad man
they could juke us and have the Sumeru crafted sword be HP%
yeah, I guess Iron Sting its probably the best bet since her Q doesnt seems very worth it tbh 
I pretty much never plan on using it, just keeping the elecro ring up Taser Ayato
she is just a ToTM bot for now? 
Pretty much imo
If you already run someone with TOM on your team, you can instead run 2Tom 2Maiden for more heals
Im going to run her with Zhongli in overworld so i might end up doing 2 maiden
I dont even have a 4pc ToTM set yet 
I think i have 2-3 i could scrounge together from farming for Yelan
it doesnt even give hb
its a flat increase
90 iron sting increases ur heal by like 124hp
hp mainstat increases by like 258
i would give her pjc in a heartbeat despite having keqing
Ayato and Ayaka would have my head if i gave it to her.
Ayato has my PJC, Ayaka will be getting Mistsplitter in a couple weeks.
where buffs
Imagine MHY nerfs Kuki and buffs Yelan again
Monday 
we all know it but you didn't have to say it
Tomorrow chat



Is kuki good? 
no
she is bad

is there any idea of kukis role in most of her teams or is she kinda erratic at the moment
She works with Ayato for Taser, not as well as Beidou.
Kukipium
She has better passive healing than qiqi, but pretty much everything else is worse than established characters
cant decide if she wants to heal or dps. but am i going to play her regardless, you fukin becha
Her healing better than qiqi?
her E yes, but its nowhere near qiqi's Q
How much does she heal each tick?
assuming no constelations and no tags from qiqi
Im gonna build and play her anw, Im a friendship main
same, im at 28 lvl 10's
i have all my units at friendship 10
just waiting for new ones to come home
so what comps do kuki work in?

itto, eula, electro charge
31 hours from now just about
I didn't start friendship farming for a while after and i pretty much always do 3-4 friendship ppl on a team plus everyone in the teapot. Having the teapot broken and not being able to put Ayato in there is killing me
coop with your SO
ez exp farm
Take him into co-oop domains
My friend does this and he has a namecard months before me
i do coop commissions and resin for friendship farming
I literally just got yaes yesterday after using her every day since her release
I had Yae's a couple weeks ago
Yea perfect illustration of the difference
Mine is from resin and teapot only
No farming no coop
that way you dont have to build them properly
my SO just use her lvl 20 char to do dailies now since im done with mine
U do ur dailies together thats cute
I do mine with my SO sometimes, but we do resin more often then dailies
espeically now since we are both farming for Yelan and Kuki
I used to do more coop, but they really need to make coop more robust
And now i feel they’ve given up on it
coop is too support dependant vs being able to face tank everything with Zhongli alone
For me its that coop doesnt have many activities and isnt that rewarding
spend resin, kill bosses, steal rocks
Lol i have farmed a rock since@ 1.4
Amber has been pulling daily double shifts at the mines for almost two years
She sacrifices her health so i dont have to break rocks
I never have enough rocks
I only have 1100 enhance crystals and 3 weapons to build
12 technically need to go from 80 to 90, and 2 that aren't out yet
aka whale problems
people saw yelan's pits and jumped ship
kuki got outsold by hydro karen 
Tbh kuki has not much to talk about
I think people were/are quite excited about her design
But her kit doesnt open up anything new like yunjin or gorou did
At least a prima facie
Hard to discuss Kuki when her kit is so bad right now that no comp is worth talking about
Also inherent in her kit being so bad is that it's very likely MHY will change it drastically
But they have so many levers to tweak we don't know how they'd change it
So everybody's kinda just waiting on the buff
Has anyone done the comparison on
Raiden Yae Cookie Kazuha
Raiden Yae Sara Jean
Akane made one for the first one
Came out to like 43K
Azure has the second somewhere in his sheet
Something like 37K from memory
But Akanes had Kagura Verity
its still STC, we still dont have frame counts on her but i am assuming on the video both her E and Q takes 1 second
Buffs tomorrow?
25 hours or so hopefully
1 particle regen every e bonk soon
rework a4
Remove it
Remove all traces of em 
The "Kuki is originally dendro" conspiracies are getting to me
Grassfield
Green hair
DoT attacks similar to dendro slime
EM for stupid reasons.
And the fact that she uses an Urumi
Either she was originally dendro or Collei is her relative and they'll synergise very well together or I'm on too much copium. Or she studied in Sumeru too
All of the above
Plot twist: she ends up being Collei's bis support

Or Cyno's bis support 
Imagine that
100% chance to make 1 particle every 1.5s
Would make the rest of her kit almost forgivable

10 particles in 15s would be 
Can't read wall of text
Explain shinobu supporting capability in razor language
That’d be about equal to Fischls PPM assuming 100% Oz uptime I think
Doesn’t exist
bad
Shinobu do nothing good
She’s an electro healer with triple split scaling, average particle generation, bad electro application, awful damage, and mediocre healing, and no buffs or debuffs

So she is just there
They made her underwhelming she literally everything
We are hoping for buffs tomorrow
Coping*

I was hoping she would reduce some electro resistance or something

Her best role is being eye candy 
particle gen buff or smt like that?
Jack of all trades 
Thats my excuse
amber powercreep 
Wack of all trades
rework her a4
give her some shredding at least
Jack it all trades implies being good at everything but not the best at any
Shreds based on em 
She’s good at nothing
I mean shogun out candies her in that regard
Not in Hoyoverse's eyes
😔

depends on your type
"Don't worry players, you can put Shinobu in any team cause she's a jack of all trades" 
didn't specify what type of shred, shreds enemy's healing

The ultimate buff 
"Is she better than Qiqi"
That's if anyone is willing to trade
Just make her kunai be able to hit 1 opponent multiple times like Darkbolt Jonin 
Qiqi can heal better and Cryo is just better element than electro
her attack animation is really cool tho
do we have frame data? maybe she can drive 
That's why it's a scam for her kunai to hit once only
She can drive my disappointment into levels never before seen.

I knew I'd get Thoma'd again the moment I saw her role
her n3 hits only once i believe
So getting shinobu is like losing 50/50 for 4 star
And then the same will happen to cyno 
idk if its aoe
whats her scalings?
dude he already dead
if she doesn't receive buffs tomorrow can we change the thread name to kuki-doomcrafting?
Darkbolt Jonin hits 4 times. Just make Shinobu the same. Borrow a page from Honkai
Yes
I hope Childe is the only playable Harbinger and every one else gets Signora'd
I know Dottore won't
He'll be the Dr Eggman of Genshin
atk/hp/em
don't forget to change the language

No not Scaramouche he did nothing wrong
His existence is wrong
Not possible who tf are they gonna run in snez as banner
. It's not my fault you brought this on yourself

looks at teppei
Your mom said the same about you last night
Who ?
Ana, Bronya. That's all they need
timmy, the 0th harbinger of course
after everyone gets Signora'd, she gets revived 
The hell is that? All I know is irrelevant dumb character

bruh 🗿
Signora and Childe. Only playable
🧐
Some sacrifices are necessary for character development
i roll for timmy
Pulincella will be Cryo Ayato/Owl from honkai I can feel it
so i can get free fowl
i must admit your point is right
Play as timmy and kill pigeons in front of Timmy
At least she has a passive for expeditions 
so it's not gonna happen cuz your predictions are always wrong
His character development will devolve into him being a sadistic Tsundere in his story quest
Childe's only playable 'cause he's gonna betray the Tsaritsa.

Wait she does
Every prediction I've made for characters has been correct 
Why do you think Kuki is the way she is 
i didn't notice that 
We need rocks in Inazuma
So you doomed yourself then 
Mora tho 
And now I doom Pulincella

i have 25mil mora
yeah i'm tired of mining them with my claymore users
I mean
Go mining
it could be another "double the product on healing food 
Just give me Kevin or Siegfried in Genshin and I'll forgive the disgrace that is Kuki
if only i had one 
Razor is still a Claymore user.
Or your hammar
Yeah but his skill can ....
But yeah, Zhongli's insane for mining ore.
Just buy mihoyo and gift yourself a Zhongli
I mean hoyoverse
Varka aka Siegfried will be first claymore character that swings claymore as if its nothing (like HoF) cause he's Anemo and he uses Wind for light sword
His whole motif will be boosting atk speed through anemo 
I was hoping he is Pyro
we can dream 
i was the same
Um. C6 Itto says "hi."
I was hoping he's skinny so I can laugh more
that one spot in liyue
Who? 
ayato - kuki - sucrose - mona is good?
so u telling me his burst pulls up a second claymore
actually not noodle arms 
His burst pulls up a claymore over his claymore and he swings it for mega nuke 
I don't know how I feel about the head of 'knights' using a claymore
Razor is immune to Ec 
isnt this just eula but you have to work for it to hit
You right. Catalyst is better. He makes Anemo claymores with it 
Er modcheck 
It's Eula but anemo in Varka's case 
So he's physical?
I doubt that would be a problem as long as sucrose and mona are built good though
does kuki need a lot of er?
Doesn't mona need tons of er 
Her particle gen is mid
do you not build your mona with 250 er>>
No he's anemo catalyst that uses anemo to shape wind into claymore in the form of E stance change 
like the rest of us mona eosf havers
He's a catalyst with Claymore stats 
I don't have mona 🧐
We're supposed to?
Shouldn’t need too much with Ayato
So same issues as childe E
Dont think so, but it's what I have
Think Ayato
with decent cr and cdmg anyways
mona with er is a no brainer
its as if you say doesnt hu tao need em?
He boosts his E stance atk speed with Em cause he's anemo and I said so 
oh rip, how would you know the team has er problems then?
I don't think I will main him
if kuki is self sustainable
Boooo
and if sucrose and mona is built right its good
where
