Where is the keqing vid tho

I’m waiting for a character that can break shields of the same element as them 😭 would make mono teams crazy even vs dumb abyss heralds and lectors

Honestly I like this trend, but it's kinda more expensive? atleast for people that doesn't have as much character pool then again you can just save up just a hydro a dendro and shinobu for the other team and you're decently free to do as you wish

could you link the background music on your future videos they're always very good ;-;

I was just thinking about that! Thanks Vars, looking forward to it! 💃✨

That isn't necessarily true for all characters, though. There are the "driver" teams, where your on-field isn't the main source of damage, but rather a facilitator of it. So certain characters who normally don't get much field time, can suddenly wind up with the majority of it, even though their direct damage contribution is minimal. Driver in quotes because for some teams, the chracter doesn't even really have to drive the reactions/damage. Although, admittedly, not all characters are well suited to that, especially in a way that makes you feel good about what they're doing. And really, if the content isn't floor 12 of the Abyss, a high damage off-field high damage character (hiya, Yelan!) or two mean you can do this with pretty much any character for almost all the rest of the content. I reckon most people that have a built Albedo have used him like this while toying with a new, not fully-built yet, character.

Even when I'm not playing a hypercarry, I still play the team as if there is a "hypercarry." I just can't get into swapping all the time...

Even non hypercarries can be played on field, like kokomi, ayato, yae, nahida, etc.

That’s why I like punishing gray raven, your actually PUNISHED, for hyper reliance on unit switch spam since the idea is to play a unit till you run outta orbs/combo, then switch to the next one and play them long enough to let the first one have its cooldown cool a bit before the third unit is switched. Genshin and honkai impact 3rd are both like, dump elemental skill, if burst is ready then switch summit dump then dump skill and switch again asap to keep repeating and let reactions fill up to repeat spam cycle. With impact now just non stop sequence spam line it’s fate grand order except without needing to worry about which cards you pick for your loops. It’s funny that punishing gray raven feels way easier to keep track since you could have a standard team rotation with each unit doing its part to dps/buff or stick on one unit mostly to only use QTE procs when you hit the correct color ping for your other units to apply buffs via memory/weapon/skill effect procs. Which certainly hits better when PGR has loads of ways to handle unit rotations, from burning orbs to build a gauge to conjure special orbs for special attacks, activate modes that convert existing orbs to burn the surplus for high dmg moves or even just use them as fuel for an entirely different mode that could have different attacks depending on the combination you used. Call me a PGR simp sure, but when a simple mechanic can have more flexibility then a game that wants to float the usual standard elements and have less flexibility on its elements, then I would rather the former then the latter. Cause without chars with insanely mechanics, dendro was kind of meh with the debut dendro units and I’m sure most gave little care on what elements they used for team comps long as it had a team that refreshed reactions perpetually since Genshin reactions are just spam reaction slaps then a proper dunk from a single hit now.

Same for me

Duhhh, and why would they be less viable because of it? If we get 5 Hyperbloom triggerers in a row nobody is going to care about it anymore. We need hypercarries with different playstyles to make the game more enjoyable

@@kawaiimika7974 They are less viable because they need more investment for the same results, it has nothing to do with enjoyability

@@kawaiimika7974I totally agree. As someone who really enjoys Eula but hates Itto playstyle it’s all about perspective and fun. however meta wise… they can fall short because of there limitations

​@kawaiimika7974 Forcing playstyles on players that aren't synergistic doesn't really exude fun for a majority of the playerbase and not everyone is going to use the optimal setup for specific reactions as this is a Gacha game and not everyone has every character. Some people don't use Raiden hyperbloom so they use Kuki. It's all down to the player in terms of how they want to use a team as well as the Opportunity costs to acquire a character that is desired by the player and this varies a LOT because people are people and that's OK. I don't agree with your stance on making more hypercarries in the game to make the game more "enjoyable" When that can't be quantified whatsoever because forcing a playstyle that a majority of players do not like and especially for content that would necessitate that very specific setup would hurt players more than make the game more enjoyable and balanced. Because the resources to make a team are all the same in terms of EXP, Talents and Mora. If a 6 month player doesn't have the resources to make the specific hypercarry team for a specific type of endgame content and thus being lock out to complete it due to the matchup necessitating a hypercarry team. Then it's not enjoyable whatsoever as you are asking for things to be ultra specific I order to beat that type of content. Which is why everyone hated 3.7 abyss rotation 12-1 2nd half and 12-3 1st half. Because of this restriction and forcing a playstyle that not many have the resources for

We can make 4+ easily viable Dendro teams for every Abyss too (Spread, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Bloom).

Tbf I like reaction teams more bc I started getting into genshin with a taser team, and I could never get raiden national work properly. Perhaps I got spoiled by kokomi team heals.

​@@quinkana1bro Rational is one of the easiest teams to play

@@N1CKczemN1CK I think it really depends on the person. For me getting fischl and na spam is easier bc it lets me dodge without breaking combos.

however before dendro broke everything, a hypercarry didnt need much more investment than a quickswap team take tazer, sucrose needed to be built properly, so did XQ, fischl and beidou For Xiao, Bennett just needed ER on a noblesse set. Zhongli just needed black tassel and then millelith set. Xiao needed everything so while its more investment to min max its far easier to get to a base level Hu Tao needs everything and just something to make the enemy wet Shogun, Bennet with noblesse and Sara c6 The supports in hypercarries artifacts are mainly just the set bonus

One new character existing doesn't mean they're actively addressing the state of an entire archetype of play...

@@zipzzoneuvilette & wriothesley rn:

Also, the first Geo character in almost a year. Definitely hopeful for renewed focus.

@@chuulover69420 wrio and nev don't advocate for mono teams tho

​@@2crisp63Neuvillette can't vape so raw Hydro damage will be his primary source of damage Wrio can't Melt consistently and is just dogshit compared to Ayaka In freeze so raw Cryo damage it is They aren't necessarily mono, but they aren't reaction slaves either

Yeah my wanderer team can outrun my other reaction base team (mostly hyperbloom or alhaitam spread) almost in all single or multiple target situation

I really hope navia wouldn't be a main dps since i want to place her in my itto team

@@white19875 I'm hoping her to be a main dps for my second geo team. I wonder when she will be released.

@@luck002 probably late in 4.x, leakers are saying 4.4 or 4.5

@@idaaa333 that's fortunate and unfortunate at the same time.🤣

Hoyoverse doesn't like Hypercarries since they don't sell the most units and make the most money. The f2p people that Hoyoverse caters to also do not like Hypercarry units so in turn Hoyoverse doesn't either since they want to cater to the audience that gives them the most clout.

I understand, especially with Sara and Faruzan, they can still get their job done even without c6

Yeah from what we've seen thus far from fontaine,the game seems to be switching towards NA/CA hypercarries(also seems to be the same case with 4.1 from the leaks we have)

@@fastedwarrior7353 TF u mean? C6 Faruzan/Sara/Gorou is expensive asf when quickswap teams can get away with C0 4 stars no big deal. Not only do u have to pull for the carry and their C6 support, but pulling for their weapon and its refinements (usually) is a decent boost in power for them. Whales make majority of the revenue for this game, or any microtransaction game for that fact. and hypers are basically the avenue where whales will invest in.

@@MsDestroyer900 The F2P Meta slaves that make the majority of content on KZfaq say and enforce it. Those characters don’t make Hoyoverse money or clout so they don’t like them nor buff them.

Nilou was never supposed to be good at generating cores though? She's just there to enable the passive

@@bloddrinkeraka yes, but the thing was that pre-nerf Barbara could in 3+ target be a beast of a bloom carry by her own, no Nilou needed. But we can’t have nice things and Nilou has to sell as a solution to bloom being dogshit, so Barbara enabling non-Nilou bloom team was patched out.

I always saw that as just an oversight and they just treated it like a bug- but yeah it was a fat nerf to barbruh

@@YourAverageLoser763 that Barbara's interaction worked with other elements as well, but there was simply no need to use her since her adding more hydro on let's say electro during 2.X was complete overkill on hydro since neither electro nor pyro could be applied anywhere nearly as quickly to match Barbara's E Hydro.

I would like her to have a kit that revolve around crystalize reaction, maybe a geo version of Nilou, or buffing her teammate based on different kind of crystalized shard.

​@@oscheoroset1298according to leaks, she will indeed be some kind of geo/crystallize support

@monthly7846 Three. That's 3 supports for geo you named. Granted, Yun jin is usable elsewhere too. But Geo actually is the most buffed element.

​@@Ganamabunta08and yet still falls short compared to the other elements

@@yukinamiuka The archon of an element is the best representative of its identity. Does Zhongli typically scream "Damage dealer" to you? No. His motto is absolute defense and damn near infinite invulnerability.

Raiden

Don't say she will be "hypercarry", she could also be Xiangling and Bennett hybrid

@@fzsuper3387 Raiden still can be sub-dps and be a battery

Huge copium

​@@bloddrinkerakashe is a hypercarry primarily

I can agree with your perspective. I personally enjoy Ayaka teams as she was my first 5 star, and I won her 50/50 to boot. Even with meta teams that Ive seen on the internet, Im only going to fill in a second team with Hyperbloom, and really focus on those 8 chars. I love the idea of mixing and matching different characters, and I want to have the most fun I can playing this game WITHOUT spending money.

In my head, I feel like his video better describes _selfish_ carries than hyper carries in general, unless they’re the exact same thing and I’m just dumb 😂

Good side of hypercarry: - You can see your characters perform in action and get to use all of their kit

idk how noelle compares to itto since ive never used her but in recent abyss there was always 1 side that was really easy for itto teams because it was full of stuff like beasts, the chicken, triple kenki etc and mono geo just facetanks all of that so it makes for very easy and consistent clears.

@@Daniel-du5ec Depends, she's mini-Itto with like half of his DPS, since he's just raw output with no utility. I've skipped Zhongli every time and Yun Jin + Gorou + Albedo isn't that great tbh (especially for the massive DPS check in 3.7 with 4 Consecrated Beasts and missing a huge chunk of damage from having no Cinnabar Spindle, since I started in 2.8). Even swapping Yun Jin for Fischl/Xingqiu/Yelan seems to be more reliable tbh... Anyway, Noelle + Thoma + Nahida + Yelan/Xingqiu is pretty amazing.

I spent 5 months or so building Hu Tao, she’s triple crowned with homa c1 and is a top 20% Hu Tao, she’s great for my first team but I can’t get Ayaka or raiden to be strong enough to hyper carry for the second part so I’ll give quick swap a try

He's good in other teams too, just because he loses the passive doesn't mean he's unplayable. Playing same Hyperbloom over and over gets boring too.

@@bloddrinkeraka well, yeah, I was wrong, he can be used in other teams. But his max potential is with Bennett, Xiangling and anemo/Zhongli, and meta players kinda only care about getting the best results. And you can make different hyperbloom teams, you can turn it into quickbloom. But yeah. Any team becomes boring after a while. But how many time you will spend on this team for it to become boring is another question. I personally don't know, and it is opinions thing.

that's actually good imo. it makes you eager to pull more. lyney will always be a mono pyro, but that's good. take league of legends as an example, X champion will always do one type of gameplay, you can't change their playstyle because of their kit, if you want to change the way you play, you have to change the character. that makes you more willing to pull on different characters instead of getting another bloom driver with different animations. my kuki has 2 builds for example, on alhaitham she's full EM for hyperbloom, while on cyno she's full HP% with some EM so she can be a sustain + battery for him + electro ressonance. her role in the team changed because of how alhaitham and cyno are played, cyno is a super aggravate with him + kuki + nahida + baizhu, where everyone is there to boost and sustain cyno DPS, while alhaitham is a more spread out role between his personal dmg + yelan sub dps + kuki hyperblooming + nahida as a booster for everyone.

@@fzhs7030 she is the enabler because shes the one that enables bountiful cores to even exist, although i agree that enabling support is a better way to describe her

@@fzhs7030 well not really, yeah at a baseline they’re just burgeons minus the pyro part but the “particular” thing about them is that it is not possible to convert then into hyperblooms or burgeons

Ning was never the best 4* dps tho,even back in 1.0.

Lyney is mono element done so well (though I can understand people who don't like charge shot but his kit is well thought out). His passives are so well thought out that he is not held back by lack of reactions and is a direct upgrade from the current version of the mono pyro team. I can't help but think about if Itto had those kinds of passives as a mono geo user he clears content in enough time but still falls behind other teams. Gorou technically has the passives to buff more based on mono geo but Itto would be killer with the passives too. I like that Lyney is very strong within his niche and competitive enough with other team comps, not a must pull but for those who do pull him they will have a strong team.

Far From Home (Drowned City of Skalla) from FFXIV

@@Noah-gn2gu Thank you! How could I forget Skalla, the first dungeon I would have no duty support in?

Shootouts to fixing autocorrect running "Itto" like 3 times and it still messing it up when I went to post this

nearly every single character used in any quickswap team is an enabler or support lol. also in what way is nilou a support? and no shenhe and yunjin are not dps units, how did you even come to that conclusion?

​@@pa9030I would classify Nilou as both an off field dps and a buff support, at least when playing her optimally (meaning Nilou and another hydro owning almost all blooms)

@@pa9030 1. its was question 2. many quickswap teams have replacments while nilou is nearly irraplacable in bloom teams 2. its the same as nilou, they buff chacarters based on their hp/atk/def stats respectivley and some ppl treat nilou as dps while she doesnt even do much dmg in many bloom comps nilou/hydro/hydro/nahida core for ex.

for that to be optimal playstyle you NEED nilou sig weapon bc she is going to have em problems otherwise. best team and easiest to play is nilou double hydro and nahida@@d3m3nt3d_t3acup_

​@@pa9030man... In taser teams, Fischl and Beidou are off field DPS, not supports or enabler. In national team, Xiangling and Xingqiu is off field DPS, in bloom teams, Nahida is an enabler? In quickswap teams, everyone contributes to the overall dmg, with at least 2 or 3 dmg dealers. Also, Shenhe and Yunjin can be considered dmg dealers because their dmg is added into the on field DPS, that's why their buffs have quotas on them, not just a percentage buff like Bennett or Candace

you can use him like that but sucrose will always be an upgrade since you're playing without c6 faru in those teams

​@@spaleng and that she can buff the teams damage.

Yes, agreed. Getting a C0 limited 5 star is much easier than C6 4 star. My Sara is also C3 and I got C1 Raiden 🤣 I just want to complete C6 4 star on my account but it's so hard with these non guaranteed drops.

@@naotonhan5253 I have c0 Raiden and her signature weapon. Bother easier to obtain than a c6 four star haha

another overload enjoyer! i dont have yoi but use yanfei instead. its the first team i played after learning what good synergy is and i still use it in floor 11 and overworld

Wasn’t the main reason Eula used with Raiden because she was a good electro driver for cryo + electros physical resistance rebuff further boosting or acting as support for Eula?

Eula is considered a hyper carry because her kit revolves around her being a dps and you can make viable teams with her as the hyper carry (hyper carry being the unit that does at least 70% of the teams overall dps). TBH every hyper carry unit can be a main dps and have team mates that can do a lot of damage, just look at funeration (Hu Tao, Yelan, Xingqui, and Xiangling).
