✨ Kaeya Cryo DPS Build (Reverse Melt) ✨

☃️ Kaeya was one of my earliest carry in the game, as well as one of my favorite character. I think my connection with cryo element grew because of him later on in the game as I picked Chongyun as my next dps. I switched him out because the game content started getting harder and I didn't know how to build him properly.

☃️ After learning about reverse melt, I decided to change Kaeya's original permafreeze build because it deals more damage than just permafreeze (also because I already have Ayaka to play permafreeze). So here's my Kaeya reverse melt build.

☃️ Disclaimer: This build is not perfect and by no means should be treated as a rigid rule. I just share what I have tested in game and what I know works for me. So always do your own research and take my guide with that note in mind!

Artifact Sets

☃️ Like I said in the previous paragraph, my Kaeya is built to play in a reverse melt team, meaning he can't use 4 pc Blizzard Strayer like most cryo dps would. But you can, of course, put that set on him if you play him in a permafreeze team. I just like him better in reverse melt.

☃️ Aside from playing in a reaction team, Kaeya can also be built as physical dps. Kaeya is a cryo unit, which allows him to trigger superconduct if paired with electro unit in the team. Here are some of artifact sets I think will work on him:

4 pc Blizzard Strayer

2 pc Blizzard Strayer, 2 pc atk% (Gladiator, Shimenawa, etc)

2 pc atk%, 2 pc physical damage bonus (Bloodstained, Pale Flame)

☃️ His damage scales off atk%, so use atk% sands on him and depending on what build you have for him, put either cryo or physical damage bonus goblet.

Artifact stats: atk% sands, cryo/physical damage bonus goblet, crit circlet

Ratio to follow: 1:3 crit ratio with >60% crit rate at least, 75 EM, 120% ER, and >1.500 atk

Team Composition

Reverse melt team

Permafreeze team

Superconduct team (Kaeya physical)

☃️ Playing reverse melt team is really satisfying because melt damage has high multiplier. I would recommend having C6 Bennett for even more fluid gameplay so whenever Kaeya does normal attack, it will be infused with pyro, lowering the needs for Xiangling to constantly burst every rotation as Kaeya can apply pyro himself within Bennett's burst.

☃️ I don't play Kaeya physical because I don't have Mika, which act as physical damage buffer. If you have Mika, you can swap him out with Fischl. Just make sure that you have an electro unit in the team to trigger superconduct reaction which decreases enemy's physical resistance.

Talents Priority

☃️ Since his normal attack doesn't get infused with cryo (unless you play him within Chongyun's frost field), you don't really need to level it up if you play him in reaction team. But if you build him as physical dps then it's recommended to level up all three of his talents. I would personally go burst > skill > normal attack.

Weapon Choices

Left to right: Haran Geppaku Futsu, Mistsplitter Reforged, Primordial Jade Cutter

Left to right: The Black Sword (battle pass exclusive), Aquila Favonia (good for physical Kaeya), Prototype Rancour (craftable)

☃️ Kaeya can use any crit or atk% weapon in general. If you have Aquila Favonia, you can also use that to play physical Kaeya. The cheapest and easier weapon you can get for him is the craftable sword from Mondstadt.

So that’s pretty much my Kaeya build. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any through my ask box or just leave comment on this post and I’ll respond right away!

Jimmy DPS Build Guide (AKA my "hear me out" manifesto)

Hello Everyone! In this post I will share with you the detailed build guide of the 4-star Pyro Polearm User Jimmy. Before you type your angry comment, just hear me out.

I used to play Jimmy back when I was F2P in 2.0, before the Seven Days Replay set was released, and I decided to see if he's a good option now that we have the set.

✦✦✦ Kit and Playstyle ✦✦✦

Jimmy is a 4-star HP scaling Pyro Polearm user who is very F2P friendly, considering every account has him, and they run him in the store every other month. His kit is based around losing health, so it is necessary to have a healer on the team. He works well on teams based around elemental reactions!!!

◇ Normal Attack: Laying Down the Law

No extra mechanics here. Deals up to 5 consecutive strikes using normal attack. Holding down attack lets him do a charged attack.

◇ Elemental Skills (E) : Changing Tactics

Pressing E makes Jimmy rush forward to attack one enemy dealing Pyro DMG. Holding E charges up his attack, and does more of an arc of Pyro DMG that can hit multiple enemies in a cone in front of him and knock over smaller enemies. Changing Tactics has one charge, and a CD of 5s for press, and 7.5s for held.

◇ Elemental Burst (Q) : Revengeance

The majority of damage you want to do with Jimmy comes from his burst. Revengeance unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack with a decent range, and boosts characters ATK based on Jimmy's HP.

Jimmy has an energy cost of 40 and his cooldown is 12s.

◇ Passives

Tactical Retreat (1st ascension) - Using Burst boosts the ATK of the next character to switch on field within 2s. (This is typically why he's considered a support or sub-DPS, but shhh.)

Heating Up (4th ascension) - Revengance does more damage based on the amount of damage taken by Jimmy in the last 30s. (A surprise tool that will help us later!!)

Forgaging Familiarity - Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Ention on the mini-map.

✦✦✦ Ascension & Talent Materials ✦✦✦

◇ Agnidus Agate

Like all Pyro characters, Jimmy will need Agnidus Agate for ascension. Luckily, his boss drops it! Players will need to collect the following amount to get his final ascension:

Agnidus Agate Sliver x1

Agnidus Agate Fragment x9

Agnidus Agate Chunk x9

Agnidus Agate Gemstone x6

◇ Drops from Undead Brutes

Undead are found all throughout the world, most commonly in early regions like Ention or Riveia. Undead Brutes typical spawn in Camps, and can be fought on Ention Leylines. To get Jimmy to final ascension, you will need:

Wishbone x18 (x18)

Bone Club x30 (x66)

Reinforced Femur x36 (x93)

(Parentheses are for all talents to level 10.)

◇ Unburning Branch

Unburning Branch can be claimed by defeating the Young Dragonspawn in Ention. Like other bosses, it costs 40 resin to collect materials. You will need x46.

◇ Red Capped Mushroom

Red Capped Mushroom is the local specialty in Ention that Jimmy needs. You will need x168. They can be grown in the teapot.

◇ Confidence Talent Books

Confidence Talent Books can be gotten from Riftmouth Cave (Ention) on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

◇ Heart of the Machine from the Surveillance Prophet weekly boss

Complete the Ention Archon quest to unlock this boss. This boss cannot be done in co-op.

✦✦✦ Artifacts & Stats ✦✦✦

Jimmy's best artifact set for a DPS build is Seven Days Replay.

2-piece set HP+20%. 4-piece set gains stacks of Knowledge when a character takes damage. Knowledge applies the following effects depending on the amount of stacks: 1-3 stacks, increase DMG by 10%. 4-6 stacks, increase crit rate by 8%. 7 stacks, increase incoming healing by 10% for the next 2s, and reset the amount of stacks.

Sands: HP%/ER

Goblet: Pyro DMG

Circlet: CRIT rate/DMG

Substats: ER, HP%, CRIT rate/DMG, (EM if needed)

ATK is a dead stat for Jimmy

ER: ~120-130%

This is basically the only set that is good for Jimmy as a DPS. Alternate options are any set that give an HP or HP% bonus if you don't have a full 4-piece set for him yet.

✦✦✦ Weapons ✦✦✦

Jimmy's best in slot is typically considered the 5* standard Benevolence, and this is a decent option. For the purposes of DPS, though, getting your hands on Harvest Moon is really good. (Pearl rerun when... [Pearl_Sip])

Good 4* options include Killer Instinct (BP weapon) and Sidepiercer (Standard). His best 3* option is Asclepius, but if you didn't grab that then go with Nighttime Arrow. If you must.

✦✦✦ Talent Priority ✦✦✦

Burst > E. Skill > Normal Attack

A good suggested level for folks who do not want to go all the way is 6/7/9 (edit: put it in backwards! [x_derp])

✦✦✦ Team Comps ✦✦✦

Ention Bros - Reverse Melt team with Jimmy as DPS, BigB for cryo application and sub-DPS, Pyro False for off-field Pyro application, and Netty for heals. Netty is a really good healer for Jimmy DPS teams, and these are all F2P friendly options. Make sure to pile on some EM if you're using this team.

Suicide Bombs - Overload team with Jimmy DPS, Tango for off-field electro application, Xisuma for electro application/electro resonance & heals, and the last slot I keep for a flex support. Pyro False is a good option for the resonance, but Cryo False is good if you have her C2 for the automatic shield, just so Jimmy doesn't explode and die constantly.

You almost never want a shield character with Jimmy (Cryo False is the exception), since it prevents Jimmy from taking DMG, and effectively nerfs his burst.

✦✦✦ Constellations ✦✦✦

C1: Gives guaranteed elemental particle when hit.

C2: Using E skill reduces Burst CD.

C3: Talent level increase.

C4: At 30% health, healing bonus for party.

C5: Talent level increase.

C6: ATK boost for Burst when Jimmy is at 30%.

All his cons are good, but none of them are necessary to play Jimmy as a DPS, unlike some other characters. C1 is really good for Burst uptime, so at least aim for that.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

That's all! Just try to keep in mind that this is subject to change once we get release 6.0, since I'm hearing leaks that Sausage is basically gonna be Better 5 Star Jimmy. But whatever. [Sob] Jimmy mains will catch a break some day, I believe it. Comment if you have any ideas for this build or have any success with it! Thx!!

[silvernyxchariot]

Like I said before, I don't gatekeep and I made it my mission to represent Kavetham teams. It's not just for the ✨️gays✨️, I'm here for the 🌈Gaymers🌈. So, have my Kaveh's bloom build, Basic Bitch build*, and Battery build ideas for viewing. And Alhaitham's here.

Yes, I legitimately have a team specifically to carry Kaveh's different outfits labeled, "Kaveh's Wardrobe."** Leave me be.

Bloom

Generic, but I love his bloom kit. He's a 4 star tank that gets the highest score in Abyss for "Most Damage Taken" 🥺 each and every time. Since I don't have Mailed Flower, I want Makhaira Aquamarine and that's all I'm missing for this outfit.

Basic Bitch*/DPS (wip)

I now have Redhorn Stonethresher, Itto's weapon, and I'm trying to get more refinements. So, I will switch to that when I can. I chose Deepwood Forest for his DPS outfit for the Dendro res shredding. I also considered Vermillion Hereafter and the traditional Gladiator's Finale set for ATK boosts.

Xingqiu normally wields Deepwood for the team, but if Kaveh and Alhaitham change their outifts, then Xingqiu might be switched out of the team entirely.

Battery (wip)

This one is simple. Focus on ER and collecting particles. Chongyun is holding the seconday battery set, Sacrificial Greatsword + Noblesse Oblige; I didn't care enough to add that to Enka network because it's like 4:30 am and I haven't slept. Mix and match to your liking. So, Kaveh technically has 4 outfits. 💕

Alhaitham: Basic Bitch* & Battery Build

Loser husband. Only wears sweats or a bland as fuck black suit & tie to formal events. Overall, he's still a DPS but I gave some attention to ER. Will occasionally switch out Harbinger of Dawn with my R3 Blacksword from battlepass because I like its little healing passive for him. Shinobu can only keep you alive for so long, Alhaitham, and she might not even be on the team at all times. It's a little bit of a WIP because I changed out his sands and circlet.

Supports are also important. The final two slots can be whoever you wish, of course, but it does need to make some sense. For example, if I'm using my Kaveh DPS build, Alhaitham will lean into his battery build, and their supports could be Yun Jin, Bennett, or Rosaria. Basically, characters that buff the on-field DPS, i.e. Kaveh. As mentioned before, I normally have Xingqiu on the team, Hydro subDPS with Dendro resistance shredding thanks to the Deepwood set, but he can be switched around when I don't use the Bloom outfit.

For my Kavetham comrades, please feel free to gain inspiration from my builds. I would love to see your ideas ♡ too. If people are making DPS Freminent, Amber, Heizou, and even Pyro Yao Yao, there's no excuse to building your favs into little monsters. Send them to the Abyss to serve cunt. 💃 To everyone else, I don't tolerate any hate, harassment, or unwarranted "help/advice." Yes, we know what the meta is. No, we clearly don't care. Keep it to yourself.

* I say the phrase "Basic Bitch" for DPS builds because they're generally the same for any character: Flower (HP), Feather (ATK), [scaling stat ATK%/DEF%/HP%/EM] Sands, Elemental/Physical dmg Goblet, and Crit dmg/rate circlet.

** "Outfits" refer to artifacts and weapon pairings.

Off script

Yoimiya:Zzz

Ayaka: *sipping tea*

Keqing:Okay Nilou, it’s my job to make your transition here pretty seamless. I took liberty of researching what would help you come out swinging.

Nilou:Thank you. I appreciate the help!

Keqing:HP% timepiece.

Nilou:Mmmhmm.

Keqing:HP% goblet.

Nilou:*grabs hydro goblet*

Keqing:Uhhh-

Nilou:*wears crit circlet*

Ayaka:…..

Yoimiya:*wakes up* I sense power. What’s- oh holy stats…

90/120

Yoimiya:That’s a bit much but I like your spirit.

Nilou:I really like the extra health and mastery. I got a good feeling about this.

Keqing:Sweetie, bloom doesn’t crit. You don’t actually need-

Nilou casually walks over to Bennett, Xiangling, and Kazuha. A sudden disturbance is felt by Ayato, Xingqui, and Mona, causing them to look towards their new hydro companion. Even Kokomi’s eyes widened in excitement much like Yoimiya’s, while everyone was concerned.

Ayato:That’s not niche build. She’s supposed to be niche.

Xingqui:And yet…she’s not missing a single stat for a niche build either.

Mona:Oh, so it’s like Kuki all over again.

Ayato:Kuki can’t vaporize or has that kind of scaling!

Yoimiya:Do I sense concern?

Ayato:She’s in my lane! I am confused!

Nilou:Hello everyone! Umm can I trouble you for a moment?

Bennett:No trouble at all! Happy to help.

Xiangling:Sure thing!

Kazuha:What do you need?

Nilou:I need a lot of flames, as well as a monster with a lot health.

Xiangling:Oh! I know the perfect place!

[The Primo Vishap lair]

Several curious people watch from afar at this interesting test run.

Keqing:I researched for nothing…

Ayaka:You don’t know that. We all tear our limits in unique situations. I’ve seen Chongyun and you with a flame sword. Actually…it was little concerning how well it worked.

Keqing:It’s just interesting to immediately work outside of your skill set so soon. I’m not concerned by this, unlike your brother.

Ayato:*focused stare*

Yoimiya:I really hope this works.

Kokomi:I like her odds.

Xingqui:What’s with this sudden unspoken bond?

Yoimiya and Kokomi: Niche underdogs support one another. No one else will.

Xingqui:I can respect that.

Mona:They set up all pyro. Moment of truth.

Ayato:Vaporize dps is no easy feat. You must be fast, have good power, and consistent. Her technique is only three slashes so-

Nilou: *slash*

22,000k

Everyone:(Oh shit…)

Ayato:But is consis-

22,000k

Everyone:(Oh shit!!!)

Ayato:But why though!?

Yoimiya and Kokomi:Talk your shit Nilou!!!! Go beyond!!!!

Keqing:I’m glad Eula isn’t here to see this. Nilou is still going, and she’s fast with it!

Ayaka*pats Ayato* You still have worth. Now you just have competition.

Keqing:How are you feeling?

Xingqui:I know my worth. I’m just impressed.

Mona:I’m perfectly fine as well. Fighting like was never forte. I chose to settle things with a burst so my position is fine.

Nilou dances through the flames and twirls before unleashing a wave.

48,000k

Mona:Ha! See?

Keqing:It explodes a second time.

64,000k

Mona:I spent years trying to improve! What is this!? She’s too close darn it!

Yoimiya:Wow, she can do both of your jobs and has tons of health!

Kokomi:This is a glorious day for the underdogs.

Keqing:I don’t even want to look at her bloom damage anymore. Now I’m getting demoralized.

Ayato:You!?

Mona:*sniffles* Do this mean I have to move out of the teapot?

Ayaka:No one is abandoning either of you. (Though I kinda want to work with Nilou out of curiosity.)

Aether, watching all along: They do realize I just like variety right?

Venti:Give them a day to realize they still have me and, and that everything is fine.

[scales-of-stardust]

Sometimes I get really cool ideas for Genshin ocs like tonight I’m pretty hunting and I had a thought of Geo vision blacksmith using their vision not to fight but use it to bend the mental into intricate shapes and being well known for crafting complex pieces of jewellery (I.e rings, bracelets, circlets, etc.)

Another one who HAS a design from 2 years ago was a bunny boy hydro claymore user. He’s from Fontaine and writes a gossip blog where he uses the rumour mill to his own gain to snitch on the corrupt. 10/10 a favourite article for the court of justice lmao

Also got Miho my beloved Pyro Catalyst who’s a cartographer for the Liyuen Adventurer Guild. Also my x canon oc bc Zhongli. She’s married to him and will spend like 5 hours discussing various types of Geology bc Rock nerds. Also banned from Dragonspine bc she tried to freeclimb it when trying to chart the mountain

[femmesandhoney]

so genshin related question, but do you have any tips on how to read and learn the characters compatibility and skills just by looking at their desc. I feel utterly lost whenever I try to make sense of games where I got to learn a characters skills and utilize that properly when matching them up or giving them artifacts etc…

idk what desc means (description?) but yeah really all you need to read is their second and third talents to get the gist of the character. sometimes some stuff is hidden in cons you may have, but often nothing game-changing. most times a characters talents will tell you basic stuff that you should look for first: what they scale off of and what their kit is primed for (healing, dmg, support, etc). if it's not clearly stated, they probably scale off atk

Usually, a DPS "build" is their stat-of-choice sands, elemental goblet, and crit circlet. An example of this: Hu Tao is a DPS who scales off HP. This will often be found in the second talent/skill slot. So Hu Tao has her ATK increased based off her HP (stat of choice). It also states her atks when you activate her skill deals pyro dmg and a charged atk applies "blood blossom" which is a fancy way to describe off-field dmg she can inflict on enemies. The thing is with genshin, DPS chars are often the easiest to understand their kits right off the bat. Even though it has flowery language, most DPS kits are quite straight forward in that their E or Q hits big dmg and that's all you really gotta build towards. Some DPS talents will explain "stacking" that some chars have, such as Heizou or Raiden, which is sometimes harder to parse out in all the word fluff, so if you feel you're not quite understanding what the talents mean, watch a guide video and *see* it in action. That often helps me if something is just confusing, which especially for supports it is...

Now the actual bread and butter confusion I think comes from Hoyo making shit way more flowerly than it needs to be, especially for support characters. I think reading Furina's talents for the first time gave me an aneurysm I won't lie

Within this absolute mess of an explanation, you should always find where stuff is highlighted in color, that will often help you find the "important" sentences in the sea of words. Furina deals hydro dmg based off her HP. When she's on your team and you use her skill, your team members lose HP in order to deal more DMG.

Fanfare stacks are just another fancy stacking mechanic that you as the player have to meet the "reqs" for in order to get bigger dmg, that's all stacks mean at the end of the day. You don't need to really try to understand every single thing here, but that you found her stat-of-choice, how to trigger her stacks (fanfare stacks when chars heal or lose HP), and what it does (increase the DMG dealt by party members). This all points to Furina being an HP scaling support or sub-DPS, as she isn't necessarily DPSing anything herself. All her dmg comes from her elemental skill, which does a lot of dmg, but a majority of her kit also comes from her dmg-boosting burst.

Overall, that's really how I "quick read" talents to understand their skill and burst quick. Otherwise, a great way to understand them is just to play them in the trial, take your time reading and seeing how the character work. Most times characters have either their E or their Q be their main source of dmg, so you can scan talents to figure out which that might be as you check them out. Ei is a burst DPS and her major damage stacks will come from her burst, whereas someone like Heizou gets all his stacks in his skill and his burst is a just some minor crowd control, for example. So not every character is minor skill damage and massive burst damage, and sometimes that can be helpful depending on the playstyles you prefer.

In terms of team comp, oof. I would say that knowledge comes from two places: check out meta theory crafters who in-depth can explain a char's best teams for X, Y, Z reasons or test them out in your own teams if you have the character waiting. Second, elemental reactions is a huge part of this game. If you dislike playing certain reactions, this will limit the roster of characters you need to worry about since a lot of characters in genshin aren't really universal supports, but geared to support a specific char/reaction. You may have heard of teams like National/Rational, which utilizes a core team of Bennett, Xingqiu, and Xiangling. These three are considered like universal good supports in the game no matter the reactions you're playing, for the most part, and they're always safe bets to pair with your DPS or on-fielder. Some characters like Gorou for Itto, Sara for Raiden, or Yun Jin for Yoimiya are niche and made for those 5 stars, so throwing them into random comps won't often benefit you much. Otherwise, a team really can work as long as you understand the elemental reactions you're trying to get from the team. For example, my favorite reactions are vape (pyro and hydro), overload (pyro and electro), and i guess taser (hydro and electro). So when I saw Gaming, I decided I wanted to try him in a vape comp, and grabbed units that would create those reactions I wanted to try (Mona, Xingqiu, flex slot). That's often a good way to start testing out team builds: slot characters into elemental reaction comps and go from there. By playing with them, you can feel if the rotation flows well or not or if you just dislike a playstyle. Many characters are flexible enough that as long as you're aiming for certain reactions as your starting point, you should be good testing. But if you're still not sure, again, check out theory and build guides! I watch so many even now because meta can always change and sometimes I want to change my builds or teams and get stuck too.

Artifacts really depends on the teams you wanna run a character in and there are many builds that can slot as more universal, most characters have best in slot artifact sets and for the last two ish years genshin really curates an artifact set to a newly released character, making it more obvious "what" you should farm. ofc, there's lots of good artifact sets that can work on characters you wouldn't expect depending on how people are using that character. I recently put some golden troupe pieces on my fischl to make her more geared for dendro teams, and it's been fun, but i wouldn't have necessarily thought to do that unless i checked out some updated fish builds online and learned she was a good support in dendro comps. but really, if you stick to *their* artifact set you're likely gonna be just fine.

But also Genshin is quite forgiving in many ways and you should always try to play teams that feel fun and comfortable to you. One of my favorite teams since Furina's release is Raiden, Furina, Jean, and Kazu. It's not super meta, it's not anything insane, but it works well because I understand Jean supports Furina's kit, Kazu is my crowd control, Furina does her sub-dps stuff, and Ei funnels energy into everyone else to make sure Furina can reach her max stacks, and since everyone has so much ER, it benefits Raiden whose own stacks come from making sure the rest of the party bursts often. I've played with many of those characters long enough to figure this team out for myself based on information I learned from the community (Jean being a great support for Furina) and my own learning from having played with Raiden and Kazu for longer. So again, a lot of the time teams can be slapped together and work just fine as long as you're goals are being met, whatever they are, from that team.

And it's always more fun to play teams with characters you enjoy playing even if it's not "meta". Also idk how long you've been playing genshin, but eventually a lot of this becomes very intuitive so don't stress too hard. there's a learning curve, and then suddenly you'll be reading talents and understanding new kits with ease and forming teams better bc you've had just had the characters longer and have used them longer. easy peasy.

[tunabesimpin]

I would like to ask how to be a klee main pls

So you want to be a Klee main...!!!

LMAOOO OK JOKES ASIDE THO! I love playing as Klee and am super excited when someone else likes her too! Pls take everything i say w a grain or bag of salt as i know very little of what im doing besides from guides help XD

So short version: Klee is a great DPS, but she doesn't have very good synergy in reaction teams due to her pyro overpowering other elements in battle. She also struggles being very toss-able and squishy health. Not to mention her attack set is a bit slow and many suggest using cancellation techniques which can get very tricky to preform efficiently. Farming crimson witch domain may crush your spirits too, but I think her fun playstyle and kit is worth the efforts! You can burn the grass in your friends world for pranks! throw large enemies around and leave little room for them to attack! Blow up rocks and boulders! Explore the world more by fitting into small areas that may not supposed to be reached yet! Avoid attacks cause she's too short to get hit sometimes! LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS AND EFFECTS! I love it! There's a lot of fun little things that i find makes playing as klee very fun! I find she does best against multiple enemies rather than bosses. Not to say you cant use her for them, but it may not be ideal as a different group!

I suggest going to this Klee guide for an indepth breakdown of her pros, cons, artifacts, teams, etc! KeqingMains site has a bunch of great guides for many characters and is updated frequently!

LONG VERSION:

So Klee is a great and fun character. You can burn grass and set fire to your friends world!!! She can find stuff unique to mondstats area, and overall her kit is just super fun and can have a lot of explosions depending on your team!

Here is my build on her currently:

Weapon wise I use Skyward Atlas since ive gotten it twice by chance LOL, but widsith is ranked best 4* for her and Kagura’s Verity is best 5* BUT APPARENTLY!!! Kagura is most good just because it has bugs that make it better on klee, it might change if it gets patched out T^T so i wouldnt pull for it specifically, but if you have it already might be good to use! ^v^ Now, despite having her since release my artifacts are still VERY iffy, but thats cause crimson witch domain hates me! LMAO I use Gladiators Finale and crimson witch, and then my goblet is my off piece since i want pyro DMG ! My main advice here is for substats aim for Crit rate, crit dmg, atk % and atk. For the main stats Goblet; Pyro DMG, Sands; ATK%, and Circlet; Crit Rate (Crit DMG if you already have at least 50% crit rate without this piece) As for those cancellation techniques they can be daunting and tricky, but dash cancel and jump cancel arent too bad! BUT!!! Dash canceling is the easiest in my opinion. You attack twice, dash and then attack again. With how much i run around on the field this one is quick to get used to doing!

NOW TEAMS! ^V^ While I find I can use klee in most areas (besides pyro enemies TvT) A good team really makes Klees dmg increase a lot! My main go to is!!! Klee, Xiangling, Bennet, and Venti!

I use Bennys ULT then Xianglings followed by Ventis and then go crazy with Klee! ^V^ If your supports are built well, after defeating a group of enemies you usaullyt get your ults back immediately. So you can just keep cycle the big attacks! Venti can be opted out for sucrose or kazuha as well! (I think Kazuha is supposed to be best anemo here, but i dont have kazuha LOL)

My other go to team with klee is!!! Klee, Fischl, Beidou and any support that fits your needs.

This is a great overload team and makes for very fun combat against bosses that can be knocked over. Enemies have little room for attack and theres explosions everywhere which is super fun!!! My beidou isn't built yet, but this team still works great whether your artifacts are top tier or not. As for supports I reccommend a Healer or shield support. Klee sets the ground on fire alot and will take a lot of dmg there ;;; if you have Zhongli his shield is AMAZING!!! If you want to focus on dmg bonuses just stick with bennet and his ult! Diona or Qiqi are good healers that let Klee stay battling while protecting her!

AND LASTLY!!! Multiplayer and world exploration! If your gonna be a klee main u gotta be a lil silly!!! >V< You can mess with your idle friends and burn the grass they stand on >:3 or blow up an enemy over a cliff! Klees explosions can be used on rock piles or geo cliffs that need to be broken! No need to bring out a claymore ^v^ Again very good against multiple enemies at a time since she often knocks them off their feet and sends them backwards! Her small height also can help with avoiding attacks that go over her head LOL

Overall Klee is very fun to play and I greatly encourage you to play her kit! especially if you like explosions and being a lil rascal :3

AGAIN! CHECK OUT KEQINGMAINS FOR GREAT GUIDES! Legit it goes over the attack animation cancellation techniques, artifacts and stats, weapons, teams, EVERYTHING in great depth!!! You can also find resources for most characters if not all of them!

I rambled here alot but thank you for asking!!! <3 idk how helpful this was but hopefully you can have fun!

Hyperovervaporburgeon-charged is complete at last.

God damn did that take forever. I got sidetracked ascending Nilou and her weapon and getting her Talents leveled up but even without that it was not easy getting the Elemental Mastery artifacts I needed for Razor. EM goblets and circlets are stupidly rare, but I finally managed to get one so I could complete the 4-Piece Gilded Dreams set with a sands I got earlier.

The artifacts are all complete garbage of course, but the amount of effort it would take to get really good EM artifacts just isn’t worth it. The floor on Hyperbloom and Burgeon is so high that just stacking EM alone is competitive with some of the best non-Dendro teams.

Anyway, I went and made some build cards to show you what I ended up with:

Xingqiu’s got a pretty solid amount of investment in him, but his goblet in particular is absurd and an absolute godsend because I didn’t have any unused circlets in the Emblem of Severed Fate set. He’s got 236.4 total CV which is pretty good.

Nahida’s artifacts are all insane levels of fucked except her goblet, which I needed to be able to use that EM sands on her. Even with Kagura’s Verity adding 66.2 CV, she’s at 318.2 total.

Bennett doesn’t really matter all that much stats-wise, I mostly just went for as much healing and Energy Recharge as I could get on an Instructor set. He’s mostly just here to give Razor the Pyro infusion and EM buffs.

As for its performance, well, I can destroy the Primo Geovishap in one rotation. Hu Tao can do it faster, but considering that Hyperovervaporburgeoncharged is an AoE team I’d say that’s quite good.

I would have liked a bit more EM on Razor but I really needed CRIT Rate to get Favonius procs so I went with a CRIT-focused flower and plume on him. The team as a whole might also need more ER for single target fights, so I’m considering Favonius Codex for Nahida just to get some more particles going. Bennett and Xingqiu in particular need quite a lot of ER, but Razor kinda has too much because his goblet rolled almost 30% in substats...

But I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out. I think I’m going to try and build Nilou next, but I need to decide what characters I’m using and what to equip Nilou with.

[hoonietual]

omg lulu i got some promising pieces for bennett. all i needed really was an er sands and some flowers/feathers with er substats and holy shit did i get lucky. i even got a pyro dmg goblet (it was the wrong set but, if i get a good nobless circlet, i can use it :>)

AYYYYYYYYYYY BENNY BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy for him its what he deserves !!!!!!!!!

✨ Navia Geo DPS Build ✨

🌕 I wasn't originally gonna pull for Navia but I was experiencing burn out with Genshin with no new character to build. I had planned to pull for either Nahida or C1 Neuvillette but when Navia's banner dropped, she seemed fun and overall just a very pretty character. As someone who takes pleasure in admiring character's design through game photography, I finally gave in to temptation and decided to just pull for her. If I lost, I'd keep it for other character.

🌕 Turns out, I got Navia and she easily made me relive my old glory days of being a Ningguang main. Being a geo character who doesn't scale off def like Itto or Noelle makes her versatile in terms of team comps. I can literally switch her out with Ningguang using the same team and she's good to go.

🌕 Disclaimer: This build is not perfect and by no means should be treated as a rigid rule. I just share what I have tested in game and what I know works for me. So always do your own research and take my guide with that note in mind!

Artifact Set

🌕 Navia's BiS set comes at the same time as her release. Nighttime Whispers easily caters to her kit as her main source of damage comes from her skill. She also gets geo damage bonus from the 4 pc set while she's protected by crystallize shield.

🌕 But if you don't have a good 4 pc Nighttime Whispers on hand right now, you can use other mix sets in the mean time such as:

4 pc Golden Troupe (in quick swap team)

2 pc atk% (Gladiator/Shimenawa/Vermilion/Echoes) 2 pc Golden Troupe

2 pc atk% 2 pc atk% (Gladiator/Shimenawa/Vermilion/Echoes)

2 pc Archaic Petra 2 pc atk% (Gladiator/Shimenawa/Vermilion/Echoes)

2 pc Archaic Petra 2 pc Golden Troupe

🌕 Here are the stats:

Artifact stats: atk% sands, geo damage bonus goblet, crit circlet

Ratio to follow: 1:3 crit ratio with >70% crit rate (her damage is typical one shot, so she has to crit all the time otherwise it would be a dps lost), >2.000 atk, >130% ER (with double geo in the team)

Team Composition

🌕 Since Navia scales off atk just like many other dps, she can easily benefit from the OG Genshin support such as Bennett and 2 pyro resonance. She's basically the 5* version of Ningguang from the team to her stats. Just note that Navia will rely a lot on crystallize production as gaining crystallize will increase her stack which will emphasize her damage output. So put another element that can create crystallize reaction (anything except dendro and anemo).

🌕 The 2 geo 2 pyro party is her most popular team comp for the moment as she gets buffed from 2 element the resonance. But you can also put her with another element or even hyper carry team with Furina and Mona.

🌕 A little tip from me: Don't bring more than 2 element in the team as it can mess up with the crystallize reaction. It's something that I learned trying to bring 3 elements (hydro, pyro, geo) in her team and before Navia can produce any crystallize, the element aura on enemies had disappeared first because of vaporize reaction thus the crystallize production becomes inconsistent.

Weapon Choice

🌕 Navia (and many other Fontaine dps) are relatively f2p friendly when it comes to weapon choices. She can even use weapons with energy recharge stats on them and will still perform just fine. The easiest weapon to obtain is craftable from early game, and if you had the chance to finish the event Roses and Muskets, Ultimate Overlord also works amazing as it covers her ER needs and gives a bounty of atk% bonus.

🌕 Left to right:

Verdict (signature and BiS)

Serpent Spine (battle pass exclusive)

Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword (event exclusive)

Wolf's Gravestone (5* weapon available on standard banner)

Prototype Archaic (craftable)

Favonius Greatsword

Sacrificial Greatsword

Talent Priority

🌕 I would recommend on prioritizing her skill first, and then you can level up the rest until 6 just to help a little with her damage while her skill is on cooldown. Tbh the damage multiplier isn't that great but it's still much appreciated.

So that’s pretty much my Navia build. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any through my ask box or just leave comment on this post and I’ll respond right away!

[joeymiya]

seeing people with genshin characters with high crit ratio making me cry somehow i haven’t even gotten a single crit rate artifact for any of my characters, not a single new one. and the ones i keep getting are crit dmg or shitty 3 star crit rate circlets that attribute zero good things for my current team.. the one that’s probably most built right now is like. beidou and xiangling. and they have like what. 23 or 33 crit rate and the highest crit dmg is mona the only hydro character i use or built bc i needed to beat the shit out of those stupid pyro fatui gunners

kaeya least built bc i barely have anything for him.. pain.

hopefully bennett’s going to turn out alright or better. It would be ridiculous but unfortunately ironic if he got the best build. mihoyo pls give me better artifact luck praying

Xianyun Guide || Kit explanation, Builds, and Teams

FIRST BUILD GUIDE IN AGES LET'S GOOOOO

In today's post i'll be explaining Xianyun's kit, best builds + teams, and my own thoughts on her power level

let's get into it!!

part 1 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ kit overview Xianyun is an Anemo catalyst support. By increasing jump height for all characters with her burst, she enables a new plunge attack playstyle for any character who can use her well! Skill - enters a special state. Upon using the skill, she leaps forward unleashes "skyladder" once to deal Anemo damage. She can then leap forward and unleash skyladder up to 2 more times. She is able to unleash skyladder while mid-air. In this state, her plunging attack has her turn into a bird and rush towards enemies to deal Anemo damage. This attack cancels the state. So you basically get to do a special cool jump 3 times and then get to do a special cool charged attack Burst - Deals Anemo damage and heals all party members. Then creates a mechanism with the following effects - follows the active character - periodically heals all characters - grants 8 uses of jump height enhancement - each plunging attack triggers additional Anemo damage Passive 1 - Each opponent hit by her skill’s special plunge will grant party members 1 stack (max 4) of plunging attack crit rate Passive 2 - while under the effects of her burst, the active character’s plunging attack will gain a flat damage bonus. This bonus works similarly to Shenhe’s icy quills simple summary - skill gives her 3 jumps and a special plunge attack. Burst heals all characters, grants a jump height bonus, and deals damage. Passives grant buffs to plunge attacks.

part 2 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ artifacts/weapons Artifact Sets ╰┈➤ as an Anemo support, 4pc Viridescent Venerer is one of the best choices. Use this set if your DPS is a Pyro/Cryo/Hydro/Electro character. If your main DPS isn't of these elements, this set can still be a viable option if you're also using a strong Pyro/Cryo/Hydro/Electro DPS ╰┈➤ 4pc Noblesse is a good choice but doesn't stack so you may have better holders of it in your team. If you don't have a P/C/H/E DPS and no other good noblesse users in your team, this set is one of your best options. ╰┈➤ 4PC Ocean-Hued Clam is a great option as well. It will give her a nice chunk of personal damage and can also help her healing a bit ╰┈➤ 4pc Song of Days past is a good option if you have it but it's not that good of a set to farm. Bubble damage from clam is greater than the damage of this set's buffs (shoutout to keqingmains i was actually curious abt this) ╰┈➤ 2PC/2PC is an okay option if you don't have any other sets. She can use attack, er, or healing bonus 2pc effects Artifact Stats ╰┈➤ Energy Recharge sands, Attack Goblet, Attack Circlet Weapons ╰┈➤ Crane's Echoing Call is her signature weapon and insanely good on her. However, it is quite niche so don't feel forced to pull for it ╰┈➤ Favonius Codex is a really awesome choice. It helps her with her ER% needs and provides energy to her often energy-hungry teammates like Xiao ╰┈➤ Other ER% weapons are good choices, esp if they have high Base Attacks or Attack stats ╰┈➤ Thrilling Tales is a good choice to buff your DPS but it does have a very low base attack which hurts her buffing capabilities

part 3 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ teams/teambuilding guide Xianyun is quite versatile so to do this section, I'll explain some other supports that are good with her and then what gives a DPS synergy with her, as well as some examples ╰┈➤Xianyun's team-wide healing makes her an amazing choice in Furina teams ╰┈➤ Characters such as Chongyun, C6 Bennett, and Candace can work well when paired with DPS characters that don't infuse themselves or who have significant downtime with their infusions ╰┈➤ The best choices for DPS characters in Xianyun teams are those with their own infusions. Characters such as Diluc, Hu Tao, Ayaka or even catalyst characters will work great with this new plunge attack playstyle! ╰┈➤ Even though Xiao and Gaming already enable their own plunge attacks, Xianyun's buffs to plunge attacks and synergy with Furina still allow her to be an amazing support. Her 2nd passive's flat DMG bonus allows her to almost function as a Shenhe for plunge attacks which makes her a great support choice for these characters ╰┈➤ When playing her with Pyro characters like Gaming, Hu Tao, or Diluc, you can still use Xingqiu and/or Yelan! Just weave in a normal attack in between plunges.

part 4 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ overall strength/is she good? warning: this part is gonna be a lot less objective than the other three sections. In my opinion, Xianyun is a strong support who is, most importantly, incredibly fun! She provides such a unique gameplay experience that creates tons of new possibilities. So, should you pull: Sure! If she seems fun to you, she's a great choice. And another great thing about her is that she will definitely get even better with time as we get more and more characters with infusions!

and, that's all for today! I hope you found this guide helpful!! Feel free to leave any questions in the comments or send in an ask! Have a great day and stay hydrated <33

˗ˏˋ statuses ´ˎ˗

upcoming posts ・❥・ gaming guide, should you pull

asks ・❥・ open! I also want to start doing build reviews so send those in if you want me to review your characters! If you send one in, pls lmk how harsh you want me to be and how constructive I should be

[dawndelion-winery]

I’m not sure what your artifacts are but my Diluc hits pretty high numbers when I’m using an em sands for more melt dmg! He does more with an atk sands when going solo, but for reactions em sands 100%

I managed to hit 350k burst and 100k e before!

I think it’s also the supports that matter like Bennett, Diona, Kazuha.. I heard that if your Bennett or any other supports that can boost atk is built properly, you can use an em circlet with good crit value on it too :D

I can give my Diluc stats and support stats if you want!

Ty, ig part of the reason may be because I don't really use supports when checking their dmg I just want to see him carry the team y'know 😞

At the moment I still do need a crit circlet and Pyro goblet for him, unfortunately. The atk goblet has seggsy ass crit on it but I've heard Pyro dmg makes a big difference?? Anyways hopefully I get a good circlet soon, bc I think that may actually affect shit
